Yamamoto Takeshi sat upon the roof of the school gazing at all of Namimori that his eyes could find, thinking about his life before meeting Tsuna and becoming part of his mafia game. He shifts his thinking to how much more exciting life has been since then. What changes had been made as well. He stayed there for a while watching the sunset slowly, peacefully. Then the familiar creek of the roof door opening snapped Yamamoto out of his thoughtful daze. He turned to see who had joined him on that lonely roof. Low and behold, it was fellow guardian, Sasagawa Ryohei. Ryohei squatted down next to Yamamoto, both their feet dangling off the edge of the school.

"Didn't expect to see you up here, Yamamoto" Ryohei decided to start them off.

Yamamoto laughed letting his eyes wander from Ryohei back to the sunset, "Same with you, Onii-san."

Ryohei paused to think before he spoke proudly, "I like to come up here to watch the sunset. It's the only time where I know Kyoko is safe and I have time to be alone."

"Would you like me to leave?" Yamamoto questioned getting ready to stand.

Ryohei put up a hand gesturing to stay seated. "No. Stay, you don't have to leave. It's nice having someone to watch the sunset with . . . Uh, what I mean is it is nice to have a friend to talk to once in a while." He flushed a little, or maybe that was only the sunset's pink glaze.

"Ok . . . then I will stay." Yamamoto relaxed after he felt reassured.

Ryohei glanced at the male besides him before saying, "Out of all Tsuna's friends and guardians, you're the one I get along with most, Yamamoto."

Yamamoto glanced at Ryohei and smiled stating, "I feel the same way." They both sat there in silence gazing out over the horizon watching as the sun sank lower in the sky. Yamamoto finally broke into the silence between them. "I was wondering if may some time you could show me how to box. Like maybe after classes one day. That way if I don't have my sword I'm still able to fight."

"Sure that's no problem for me." Ryohei replied pumping a fist, "As you know, I love boxing and helping a friend out makes everything more-"

Yamamoto cut in with a brilliant exclaimed, "EXTREME!"

"That . . . was not what I was going to say," He thought for a second then continued. "But yeah I guess it does."

They both sat there laughing as the last bit of the sun disappeared from the horizon letting the darkness fill the sky over them. "I guess I should start heading home. My dad is going to be wondering where I am soon." The darker haired guardian stated with a huff.

"Wait for me I'll go with you," Ryohei says as the other was just about to rise.

'I don't know why, but there is something about him that makes me want to be around him. I don't know what it is yet but I am going to find out. 'Yamamoto thinks to himself.

"Meet me in the locker room tomorrow after school and we can start your first boxing lesson, okay?" He asked the younger of the two as they left the roof together into the school.

"Sure. I guess we'll see each other tomorrow than." Yamamoto nodded and gave a childish grin.

After reaching the front of the school where they would have to part, Ryohei spoke, "Guess so . . . have a good night Yamamoto." Before Yamamoto could say another word, Ryohei turned and ran down the street.

"Night." He said to himself watching as Ryohei disappeared into the night.

Yamamoto walked slowly all the way home. Tonight's in counter with Ryohei replaying in his head. When he finally reached home he finds all the lights have been turned off. Inside he found a note on the counter top with his father's handwriting.

Takeshi,

I have to leave for a while. Your grandmother has fallen ill and I need to go take care of her. Don't worry she is going to be okay but she needs someone to take care of her for the two weeks It will take for her to recover. I'll be home as soon as she gets better. Don't do anything stupid in my absence.

Love,

Dad

"Great all alone tonight just what I wanted." Yamamoto sighed and started to head up to his room and decided to just go to bed.

Morning came and the dark haired male rolled out of bed in a sleepy slump. He got ready for school as he did every morning. Throwing his books in his bag and then quickly leaving the house. He started his very long boring walk to school. Getting to school early was something Yamamoto did every day. He loved to have the school to himself and it to be quiet. To him it was peaceful. At least that's until when everyone else shows up. Tsuna shows up not to long after only to have Gokudera following behind like a little puppy and hanging all over him. After they walked all the other kids would start to show and everyone would hurry to homeroom.

The day seemed to go by fast. That's when Yamamoto realized it was already down to the final minutes of last period and soon he'd get to hang out with Ryohei. He had actually forgotten about it and was reminded only when he received a text message from Ryohei to meet him in the locker room after school so they can get started on the boxing lessons.

As Yamamoto entered the locker room he heard a familiar rustling of a gym bag and a locker. As he rounded the corner he was met with the most breath taking sight of Ryohei pulling on a tank top over his well toned torso. The darker haired male almost tripped at the view. The older male caught Yamamoto and it was scolding time, not even noticing that flustered look on his face. "We'll look who decided to finally show up. You're late to the EXTREME!" Both boys start laughing, Yamamoto was a tad bit sheepish. "Hurry up and get changed then meet me out by the boxing ring." The lighter haired male patted the other on the shoulder which only made the other stiffen up. "You okay?"

"Y-Yeah." He shook the blush from his cheeks and laughed.

"Okay . . ." Ryohei was concerned, but let the conversation drop.

Just then Yamamoto realized he hadn't brought a change of clothes with him. "Uh about that…. I kind of forgot to pack a change of clothes this morning so…."

Ryohei chuckled and went back to his locker to pull out a spare pair of shorts. "Well here, I'll lend you a pair of my shorts then."

Yamamoto grabs the pair of shorts from Ryohei and quick gets changed as Ryohei headed out of the locker room and to the ring. Yamamoto rushes so he can catch up with Ryohei and they begin their extreme training.
