Chapter 2
~Two years later~
"Those invitations need to be sent today. What? No stupid cow! Yes, yes the mailing addresses are already written on it! You just need to take it to the post office! YES, THE POST OFFICE! WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU GO TO SEND DAMN LETTERS? Now work on it and don't screw up!" He pressed the End Call button on his phone. He plopped down on his soft leather office chair and squeezed his eyes shut; a headache was crawling its way to his skull. Darn, it's three days before the Vongola Decimo's official introduction to allied famiglias and preparations sure are hard. Scratch that. Hard was an understatement, it was driving him to his wit's end! But he can't screw this up; it's his beloved Juudaime's "big day" afterall!
Just then someone knocked on his door.
"Who is it?" A/N: This was said in Italian.
A twenty-year-old Tsunayoshi appeared on the doorway. Gokudera Hayato immediately stood up and walked towards the brunet.
"Juudaime! Is there anything you need? You needn't have come here, you should have just called for me. You're very busy remember! Geez!"
Over the past two years, Gokudera Hayato changed into an I'll-follow-Juudaime-and-worship-him-forever right-hand man into I-need-to-make-sure-Juudaime-does-his-work-but-I-still adore-him one. Well, if you're confused by the description, just imagine Giotto and G's relationship...
"Ehh? Can't I just take a tiny little break? Any more of that speech practice and I'm going to lose it," the Decimo smiled sheepishly. "Anyway, I need to talk to you," and with that Tsunayoshi's expression suddenly became weary.
"What is it?" the silveret asked.
"She's arriving tomorrow. Bianchi-san should have arrived in Namimori to fetch her and Kyoko-chan right now," Tsunayoshi replied.
"Yes, I know," he said nonchalantly.
"So?"
"'So' what?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know. What do you want me to do Juudaime?" he replied indifferently.
"I don't know. What do you want to do?" the brunet said with slight frustration. "It's been two years Gokudera-kun! You didn't say goodbye to her, you didn't even contact her! If I had known that was the reason you didn't stay for graduation then I shouldn't have let you go here first. It's not only you who got hurt, you know!" the brunet let out with a sigh.
"What do you mean? It's not like me doing something will change anything..." the right hand replied, a hint of pain lacing his voice.
"It's not too late, you know. And it's true you're not the only one who got hurt by that incident! Reborn kicked me in the head before you left. That was after you asked me to go here ahead of us and he gave me a beating after you called and told me you've arrived! I thought I wouldn't live to attend graduation!" the soon-to-be Boss of the strongest mafia family in the world complained indignantly.
"What? I didn't know that. Sorry for the trouble, Juudaime! But how do you know it's not too late? You know she's already wit-"
"So you actually dared escaping practice Dame Tsuna," a voice from behind Tsunayoshi interrupted. If you were in the room at that moment, you would've heard the glint in the Sun arcobaleno's eyes, if that was possible.
Needless to say, Tsunayoshi froze and it seemed that all the blood drained from his face upon hearing his tutor's voice. The next thing the Vongola heir saw was the bottom of a small Italian black leather shoe and then it was all black for him...
Gokudera sweatdropped and can only watch as his beloved Juudaime was dragged away like a sack of potatoes outside his office. He half-smiled and sighed.
Some things never change. But some things do...He thought to himself.
A/N: Yay, I managed to update! Sorry this was much shorter than the first...my muse was in hurry so to speak...
I read the reviews and I just want to thank you people for giving time to read this story more so to give your insights...
thank you! I was really overjoyed! I hope I won't disappoint you!
Again, I would to hear your feedback on this chap...thankies!
BTW, Chap 3 might not come for a while, our college bloc was required to take summer classes so I am very busy but I'll find time to write it inch by inch...
I really need to focus on Chemistry...maybe Hayato can teach me :).
