Chapter 2
"How did I get myself into this mess again?" asked a frustrating Tsuna. He was now dressed in what you would call a typical suit if not for the various medals and chains on his majestic-looking jacket. The normal teenage boy that you could see every where could now almost pass for a...mafia boss.
Silence once again reined the room as the only other occupant, a handsome, black-hair young man about Tsuna's age just stared at him without saying a word. On his shoulder rested a rather unique yellow bird.
Tsuna sighed. Of all Guardians to choose from, why did the Ninth have to choose this particular one? Of all his Guardians, he was the one most likely to ruin this "most important" omiai that the Ninth wanted him to attend. Not that he cared. It would be easier to slip out of this omiai anyway. Even now, Tsuna has not the faintest idea why the Ninth had ordered this omiai. The girl that he supposed to marry is only 14 years old while he himself is only 16. And the Ninth should know that Tsuna couldn't care less even if the girl is a goddess reincarnated. Tsuna sighed again. He would never understand this troublesome political world.
Suddenly, his cell phone beeped. It was already near the appointed time and the Ninth wants him to go, now. Tsuna immediately walked out of his house while his guardian shadowed him. "Take it easy, Tsuna, take it easy. Just be your self and this omiai would end before you knew it" thought Tsuna as he and his guardian entered the limousine waiting for him outside. "I've never popular with girls, anyway."

"Mou, another omiai? Didn't you already tell the old man how you hate omiai? Why couldn't he understand that simple fact?" complained a girl with orange hair tied into ponytails by a pair of bells. She seems to be a close friend of Konoka, from the way it looks.
"You don't have to get so work up, Asuna. It's not that bad. For once, Oji-san actually considered my opinions and chose a boy about our age. Apparently, the boy is a close relative of one of his best friend. So who knows? He may even is some kind of genius, just like our cute little Negi-kun. Isn't that right, Negi-kun?"
"S...such flattery, Konoka-san. Though I completely agree with you. This boy might not be as bad as the ones before." said a slightly flustered red hair boy about 10 years old. There are certainly more to this extremely kawaii little boy than meet the eyes, especially if you considered how Konoka call him.
"Well, it's not like it really matters, is it? I mean, you would dump him in the end anyway, right?" said Asuna nonchalantly.
"Dump is not exactly the right word, Asuna. It's just that I don't really have a need for a boyfriend right now. I have a lot of things more important on my mind. Like schools, magic..."
"And Secchan."
"Like Seccha... Asuna! Don't tease me like that! You know that the relationship between me and Secchan are just..." said Konoka while blushing furiously.
"Are just what? Jokes aside, you know that you're the only heir of the Konoe family. Sooner or later you'll have to marry someone to continue the bloodline. You'll have to sort out your feelings, Konoka, and the sooner the better." said Asuna with a serious look on her face.
"I know, Asuna, I know" Konoka replied sadly.
Something in Negi head tell him to interrupt this line of conversation right now, and he did just that. He interrupted:" Now now you girls. It's time already. Let's get going. We can talk about this when we finish the omiai, okay?"
"Negi's right. Let's go, Konoka. We'll have plenty of time to talk after the omiai." said Asuna.
"Ah, okay. Let's go."

It turned out that this omiai would not end as fast as Tsuna has thought. The whole day has been scheduled by the Ninth and his old times friend and it would not end until he and the girl do every activities listed in the schedule. Tsuna hasn't been told about this until just now and it seems that he wouldn't have time to think about it either. The girl has arrived already. "Hm, if you think you this would trouble me, ninth, you are wrong. I'll have this girl run away from me before breakfast end. It's show time!"
--
When Konoka and Asuna arrived at the restaurant (Negi has volunteered to keep guard outside in case of an attack), the boy was already there. A genuine young boy with spiking orange hair and a rather baby face. "He's certainly is different from the other guys. It wouldn't be nice to flat out "dump" him" thought Konoka. "Guess I'll just have to go with the flow, then. Let's see what you've got."

A/N: So that's chapter 2. Please R&R, everyone. And much thanks to Kafka'sdragon for his constructive review. First, I don't have anyone to proof read for me so I guess I'll give the beta readers a try. And second, as you can see, I have fixed the paragraphs and the author note problems. It would be nice if you would continue to give me your very appreciated review in the future.
