~Chapter Two~
.
It's the first official day of the cultural festival in Vongola High and students and teachers busied themselves with the many preparations such as the many different and colorful stands in the whole campus.
Classrooms are being decorated with colorful frills and banners; the teacher's office too, even on the main gate of the school has decorations to welcome everyone to the school's festivities and to motivate each and everyone to have fun.
.
"Kufufu. How amusing." Mukuro, a man with odd eyes and pineapple-style long hair tied in a ponytail stared with a hint of amusement in his eyes down from the rooftop of the school building he's standing on, with two other guys and a girl behind him.
The man's odd eyes flicked towards the school gates as he saw a flash of blue-black haired girl wearing the Namimori High school uniform. He felt shivers run down his spine when the girl unexpectedly looked up and caught him staring down at her, he flinched when he saw the girl smirked and broke her gaze away back to her three other companions.
Chrome, a girl with the same hair style gasped, "Nii-sama, that girl. Isn't she…" she trailed off, staring at the last girl with long brown hair.
Mukuro followed at what his sister was pointing at and he frowned, not knowing what to say. Because the girl awfully looks like the man he knows as the owner and founder of the Vongola High.
That girl could be his long lost sister or something but the man never says anything other than work related. He never talks about his family to others; the only one he knows of is the scary and mean looking vice principal and also the math teacher, Reborn. The teacher always hangs around the dean's office every time he has his free times.
Mukuro slowly shook his head to relieve his self from too much thinking about such trivial and troublesome things he shouldn't be thinking of at all in the first place. He turned his heels around to his other companions and has a smile on his face so wide and creepy that made Chrome and the others flinched away at the sudden change of atmosphere in the air.
"Well then, shall we go and welcome our guests…?"

Ryu rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time today since they stepped inside the Vongola High's campus grounds. She huffed in annoyance at the two energetic girls who have been both busy with their ogling and drooling faces at any food stands they pass by.
The ravenette shrugged when she stole a glance at Tsuna, "At least she's not one of them."
"At least who is not one of them?"
A manly voice suddenly spoke unexpectedly behind her and she jumped back, clutching her chest where her beating heart is. "MUKURO ROKUDO!!" The ravenette hollered at the top of her lungs.
Tsuna and the others snapped their heads at the fuming ravenette who had been held back by a girl from beating the odd eyed man to death for scaring the shit out of her.
"Kufufu. We haven't seen each other for so long and you're being cruel to me again, Fujiwara Ryu." Mukuro said with a pained look in his face.
Ryu shrugged away from the clutches of the evil man's twin sister (Chrome didn't look offended by the sudden act and went back to the evil man's side) and huffed, "We've seen each other yesterday, though. You were also the one who said I could come here, too." She paused, "Oh wait, my bad, that was Chrome."
Mukuro playfully pouted his lips who obviously have failed from attempting to be cute. Ken, the blonde haired guy with hairpins on the side of his bangs, jaw-dropped at the sudden weird display of his boss while Chikusa, the one wearing a bandana and shades looked impassive as ever.
"WOW!! Ryu was right! You two really do look-a-like!!" Haru squealed, jumping in between the two bickering long lost so-called friends. Mukuro was taken aback from the energetic Haru who was scrutinizing him and his cowering sister behind him.
Mukuro slowly moved back and away from the girl from him and shrugged, "What would you expect? That's how all twins are after all."
With that said Haru gave him a thoughtful face, shrugged her shoulders and walked back to where Kyoko and Tsuna are.
Mukuro's eyes followed the Haru girl, his eyes lingered on Tsuna for a few seconds then snapped his head towards the ravenette, "Who's that girl?" he asked pointing his thumb at Tsuna who was oblivious of him staring… err pointing.
Ryu's eyebrow rose at the odd eyed man's gesture, she leaned her head forward to him and frowned, "What, you like her or something?" She moved back and scrutinized him from head to toe. She looked straight at his eyes and shook her head, "If you hit on her, I'd break your bones before you ask her out."
Mukuro was taken aback but since he knows she knows how he truly is, then it was no surprise for her to be protective over her friend. "Oya? Aren't you the protective type, ne, Fujiwara Ryu?"
"I just don't want her with someone like you, a perverted pineapple freak who loves pineapples and who has even styled his hair like pineapples." Ryu glanced at Chrome who had gotten in between the two, completely breaking and stopping their bickering once and for all, or just for a few minutes and get back to their original goal.
"U-uhm. Nii-sama, the goal?" Chrome whispered to her twin brother's ear.
Mukuro's eyes lightened up and clapped his hands, earning glances from the girls. "Oya. I almost forgot about it. Why, thank you, my dear sweet twin sister!"
Ryu made a face, "Blech. Pervert."
Mukuro ignored her and walked towards the other girls, Ryu and Chrome followed suit.
"Kufufu. I'm sorry, we haven't been properly introduced, ne? I am Mukuro Rokudo." The odd eyed man pointed to his self, then to Chrome, "This is my dear twin sister, Chrome… and…"
"…Ken and Chikusa already left ten minutes ago, Nii-sama." Chrome said.
"Eh? Anyway, so what these lovely ladies' names are?" Mukuro said.
Ryu made a face behind him and rolled her eyes.
The first one to introduce herself was Kyoko, then Haru and then last was Tsuna who Chrome and Mukuro couldn't stop themselves from being amaze on the girl's similarity to the other person they know. (A/N: I've been hinting things, have I?)
.
.
.
Chrome had offered to tour them around the whole school. When they were walking around the campus and had the others talking to the twins, Tsuna can't help but notice the stares being aimed at her. She can't help but hears the ushered whispers coming from the students whenever they pass at anyone.
Tsuna felt nervous and shy being in the center of attention. She never had everyone at her school to give her this much attention, curious stares and low whispers getting louder and louder. She feels suffocated. Her hands become clammy and her head was starting to throb.
"Ah! Tsu-chan! You're turning white! Are you okay?" Kyoko said.
"Hahi?! It's getting late now, desu! Haru didn't notice it! " Haru said.
Ryu gave them a thoughtful look before shrugging her shoulders after thinking it was really time to go home now. She turned to Mukuro and said in a low voice so that the girls wouldn't hear it, "She does look like him, nhe?" and they all left, leaving the speechless Mukuro and his sister behind.
"Oya? She already knows?"
Chrome sweat dropped and walked away from her brother to go look for Ken and Chikusa and go shopping for food again, Mukuro in tow.
.
.
.
It was indeed late when the girls left the school and went to their own and each separate ways going home. Kyoko and Haru left first then Ryu who had something to buy first when they passed by a super mart, for the head prefect of the Disciplinary Committee.
Tsuna couldn't stop smiling and kept on saying "it's okay!" to the other girl for apologizing for she cannot go and accompany her home, Ryu wasn't sure enough that it was really okay to leave Tsuna go home alone. It was her job to protect her after all. Fortunately, no one at the prestigious school found out her true identity, although she had suspected that some of the students there couldn't stop staring at Tsuna and that she had noticed there were a few men clad in black suits stationed at some areas in the school. No, they were the good guys, Ryu thought.
Before she enter the super mart, Ryu stopped for a second and snapped her head towards the direction near the block Tsuna always walks home, or was it just her imagination? But it sounded like fireworks… or more like dynamites exploding at somewhere near Tsuna's headed.
Ah. You're just thinking too much, Ryu.
.
.
.
"Argh. They're so persistent! Damn it." The same man as before panted as he leaned his back on the wall trying to catch a lot of his breath from running while throwing his explosives at the men who kept on chasing after him earlier. Good thing he's used to running, else he had been caught by now.
Dazed jaded eyes looked up at the darkening sky and sighed deeply, "Fuck. I hate him so much. I hate him…" he trailed off as his surroundings went completely black and he slumped down to the dirty concrete floor, unconscious.
.
.
.
"Ahh~! It's this late already? I hope they're not eating dinner yet! Mou." Tsuna said.
"But, today was fun; despite the uneasy feeling I felt when they were staring at me. Come to think of it, why were they staring at me in the first place?" Tsuna walked ahead while deep in thought that she didn't noticed something across her way, and she tripped.
Tsuna spat out any dirt that went inside her mouth and rubbed her face clean with her sleeve. "Mou! What on earth did I trip on?" When she turned her head around to see what it was, her light brown eyes widened like saucers… to see an unconscious body full of bruises and such laying on the street.
Out of reflex, Tsuna took her mobile phone out from her skirt pocket but before she dialed nine-one-one, she heard a pained groan coming from the half unconscious man on the floor.
"No… hospital… found out… I…"
Tsuna frowned at what he said. She couldn't understand what the man is trying to tell her. Her eyes widened the second time when something hit her; she stared at the man with wide eyes then to the phone then to the two storey house not too far away from here.
I have no choice. I just hope mom hasn't back home yet.

To be continued

Ken: THIS WHOLE THING'S STUPID!! She didn't even made an introduction about me and Kaki-pii here!! D8
-Chikusa's being all but calm at some corner-
Ryu: -wakes up from her quick nap- ...You two weren't needed to be introduced.
Ken: AHH!! WHY YOUU~!!
Chrome: Aa! C-calm down, Ken.
Ken: YOU STAY OUT OF THIS, YOU STUPID GIRL!!

Mukuro: Kufufu~ -takes out pitchfork- 8D
-Chikusa just watched Ken being stabbed by the boss' pitchfork at some corner-
Ken: Help me! I can't stand blood! T A T;;

Chrome: E-eh? U-uhm! T-thanks for reading! P-please r-review!! -follows Ryu out of the room-
-Chikusa follows the girls in tow leaving the dog-breath laying in his own puddle of blood while the pineapple-freak continues to stab him with his pitchfork, a crazy maniac smile on his lips-
THE END.
A/N: Uwaa~ I'm really sorry to have this chapter two written like I'm rushing it or something. But indeed, I am rushing it for chapter three. Kufufu. I didn't want our silver haired protagonist to be introduce in more later chapters. Blech. Because of that, we'll see him starting next chapter! And the love will bloom! Or... dislike at first sight? Hmm...
Also, I wonder who's the other person I've keep on hinting. Teeheehee. Aa! There's a lot of things I have to explain too, such as how did Mukuro and Ryu met or who the hell Ryu really is, and so on and so forth. Teeheehee. I'll leave that on the later, much, much later chapters! Let's just see how the events will turn out, kay? :D
Oh, and one last thing, I have decided on the schedule to update my stories now. I'll be updating them once. Yeah. ONCE a month from now on. That will give me a lot of time to write slowly and the longer the update is, the many reviews I receive...? *is being hopeful*
Arrivederci.
