Chapter 2
Life Surprises
"SAWADA TWINS AND COMPANY SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY EXPELLED WITH JOINT RESPONSIBILITY!"
Ah, another normal day.
You see, it started out with the sensei passing us back our science tests, and apparently, it's frowned upon to flaunt you and your twin's marks to your fellow classmates, especially when the both of you only gotten a 20 and 26 for it.
That and the fact that Gokudera assaulted the sensei for insulting Tsuna.
Note that it's just Tsuna, not Tsuna and Tsuki.
I knew it's a bad choice to have him in the family. Bias bastard.
"To just expel them now might be too hasty..." The principal, yep, you heard me, the principal said. I'm surprise we actually had a principal really, with Hibari and all. Though I have to say, sensei must be pretty scare of disciplinary committee too if he actually brought us here instead.
Anyway, long story short, somehow we ended up needing to dig up some 15 year old time capsule or we'll be expelled.
"Ano, sensei," I piped up, raising my hand, "No can do, I have detention to go to, and honestly, Hibari is more important than the shit you're ranting, you coward."
...
...
There was a moment of silence before...
"EXPELLSION! NOW!"
"HIEEE!"
"WOMAN! STOP MAKING IT WORSE FOR JUUDAIMEI!"
I swear, my ear drums just burst.
"Mahhh, calm down everyone," The principal started, quieting everyone down, "It is true that it is more important to serve detention, so, you're excused Sawada Tsuki-san. If your twin and Gokudera-kun can find the capsule, you'll be excused from expulsion too."
"Sweet! I'm counting on you then Tsuna-nii, Octopus head!" I cheered, "See you later!"
"It's Gokudera you damn woman! GOKUDERAAAAA" Was the last thing I heard as I ran out of the principal room. Who knew there's something good out from Hibari's detentions.
"Good afternoon Hiba-"
WHACK.
"You got sent to the principal office, herbivore." The demon said coldly, looming over me who's squatting on the ground, nursing my poor forehead that just suffered from his deadly blow. "What did you do this time?"
"Ara, aren't you supposed to be all knowing," I grinned, "Aren't you the great Namimori protector that you always claim yourself to b-"
Nope, Hibari Kyoya did not like to be patronized at.
"Answer me, herbivore." He hissed, his face now only a few inches away from mine. He had seized the front of my uniform and practically hauled me up t his eye level, my feet no longer touching the ground.
"Err, I got a 20 for my science test?"
Hibari didn't say anything, but merely raised his right brow, waiting me to continue. It's no secret in Namimori that none of my tests score over 30, so to have me scoring a 20 wasn't anything surprising.
"And er, I may have flaunted it a bit?"
Hibari scoffed before letting go of me unceremoniously, resulting in me falling onto the ground with a loud thud, my butt taking the heat.
"Mou, it's not exactly my fault to be sent to the principal office, Nezu was being a jerk," I complained, getting up to sit in my own corner for detention work, "I mean, he practically forced the principal to have the newly transferred punk, Tsuna-nii and me expelled if they don't find some time capsule in time."
To my surprise, something I've said must have caught Hibari's attention. I know cause I can see how his eyes flashed towards me for a split second before hidden behind his bangs once more.
"Hibari-?"
"Finish those papers then clean the whole disciplinary room by the end of the day. If it's not up to standard, I'll bite you to death," Hibari threatened before leaving, not even giving me any chance to protest.
Heaving a loud sigh, I can only follow his orders.
Life sucks.
"Wow, Nezu got fired? Sweet!" I cheered, heading back home with my brother. That Gokudera idiot next to Tsuna, insisting to walk us home, or should I say, just his precious Juudaime? Honestly, one would think I'll get similar privilege from being Tsuna's sister.
"Y-Yeah, there's no time capsule in the first place, but we found Nezu's old test papers. He's been lying about his educational background all along." Tsuna said, filling me in about what happened after I was gone. "Not only that, the principal seemed to know all about it when we got back, and assure us that none of us will be expelled! Isn't it great! I was so relieved!"
"Oh come on 10th, you were seriously worried?" Gokudera joined in, suddenly putting on poorly-made 'cool' face, "I'll trade in my life to prevent anything like that from happening!"
I almost blenched.
Not Tsuna though.
"G-Gokudera-kun..." He said, touched. Oh my dear brother, he's just so gullible. I was about to give in my two cents when a kick from behind sent me slamming onto the ground, and tiny feet landed on my head.
"HIEEE! TSUKI!"
"Isn't it great to have made such a reliable subordinate, Dame-Tsuna?" The monster standing on me squeaked.
"Hello to you too Reborn," I said, though my voice came out muffled, with my face planted on the ground.
"I said I don't want a subordinate!" Tsuna all but screamed out, "And get off Tsuk- HIEE!"
The weight on my head disappeared momentarily before another, and might I emphasised, much, much, heavier weight landed on me, squeezing the air out of me.
"JUUDAIME!"
"Don't talk back to me," Reborn said with a hint of amusement, landing on my head once again. "You both still have a lot to learn, Dame-Tsuna, Aho-Tsuki."
Damn baby.
"I'm saying you can have Dame-Tsuna on your team."
"No way! We don't want to lose!"
"He's amazing at volleyball but we know he sucks at baseball."
Tsuna silently listened to the two teams trying to push him towards each other, them talking as if he was invisible. He'd never like P.E, he's not good at it, and it only hurt whatever little pride he had whenever his classmates talked badly about him.
He tried to be indifferent about it, but it still affected him. He had thought it would be different this time, with his victory glory from volleyball, and having Gokudera as his friend... but the silver hair bomber was gone to resupply his dynamite. It would be better if Tsuki was here too, but she got dragged off to serve detentions again.
Sometimes, he's really worried about her.
"Isn't it alright? Just let him join our team!"
Tsuna instantly perked up. It's the very first time someone ever want him to be part of their team, and it was none other than Yamamoto Takeshi, whom Tsuna know was the baseball team starter, the one who had everyone's full trust and respect.
Heck, even his sister who's pretty much rude to everyone was friends with him.
"Y-You sure?"
"Yeah!"
And amongst the loud cheering, Tsuna smiled, happy to be acknowledged by someone so popular.
An hour later...
"It's your fault, no good Tsuna!"
"That's why I didn't want him in the team!"
"Sweep the field by yourself!"
"Loser!"
Tsuna was speechless as he watched the rest walked away from the field. He knew he's the reason why the team lost, and it had always been this way. Feeling the cold wind against his skin, Tsuna contemplated whether he should just skip the cleaning, like he always does. Not that anyone will notice...
"Help has arrived!" A cheery voice boomed up from behind, startling Tsuna.
"Y-Yamamoto!"
"Yo!" Said Yamamoto grinned, a broom around his shoulder.
"S-Sorry! It's all my fault!" Tsuna apologized out of instinct, "Just when you let me in the team-"
"Haha, don't worry about it! It's only P.E,"Yamamoto laughed before looking around, "Where's Tsuki-chan?"
"O-Oh! She has to serve detention!"
Of course, Tsuna thought. Yamamoto will be here to ask about her sister, and not him. Even though Tsuki was his younger sister, and her results was even worse than his, she somehow had this charismatic side that appealed to people, and it was her that had always protect him, the useless brother...
"Haha, good! So it's just us then!"
Tsuna almost did a double-take, taken back by his words. Good?
"It's just that lately, my baseball isn't going that well, but unlike you, you've been quite amazing."
"N-No, i-it's not a-anything like that," Tsuna stuttered, shocked by the turn of event. Yamamoto was pouring his heart out at him?! No-good Tsuna?
"-playing baseball. Tsuna, what should I do?"
"Behhh!" Tsuna can't help but let out an unflattering noise, face paling. Why was the school most popular guy asking him for advice for his bad plays?!
"Just kidding," Yamamoto laughed again, "You're just so reliable lately, and Tsuki-chan always speak so highly of you, so I just thought..."
Tsuki speaks highly of me? This dame brother of hers? Tsuna thought, tocuhed. He never knew how Tsuki can look up to him so much, but she just did.
Not wanting to disappoint Tsuki and Yamamoto, Tsuna spoke.
"I guess... more effort... is the way to go... I think." Just as his words came out, he was instantly disgusted by himself.
Bleh, I'm such a liar-
"Yeah!"
"Huh?!" Tsuna blinked.
"You're right Tsuna, I thought that was it too!" Yamamoto said, clearly looking more spirited, "Alright! Today I'm remaining here and practice like hell! Hahahaha!"
"Y-Yeah!" Tsuna cheered along, and despite not meaning the things he just said, he can't help but felt happier that he'd said the right thing.
"Oh mannnn, I can't feel my arms," I groaned. Hibari had wanted me to fix the backyard Tsuna and Gokudera had destroyed a few days ago. By that, he meant filling up those holes cause by them, and replant the whole garden, by myself.
I hate him.
I was about to leave school when I notice someone on the baseball field at this late hour. No doubt who will that be...
"Osu Yamamoto!" I yelled towards the baseball fanatic, him only a few feet away from me.
"Oh! Tsuki-chan!" He waved, then came running towards me, "Are you going home?"
"Yeah, finally," I sighed, "What about you? Going home anytime soon?"
"Ha ha, I will, after another hour or so. I still want to practice."
I raised an eyebrow, taking a good look at him. He's totally drenched in sweat, his right hand shivering slightly, obviously had been practicing for a long time.
"Ano," I started slowly, "Are you sure?"
"Of course!"
I pursed my lips, knowing more than anyone else that nothing can convince Yamamoto otherwise once his mind is set. I just wonder why the sudden determination.
"Okay," I reluctantly agreed, "Just don't take too long, or Hibari will bite you to death if you're here after school hours."
"Haha, Tsuki-chan, you worry too much!" He laughed again, ruffling my hair. Little did I know, I had worried too little...
"HEY EVERYONE! YAMAMOTO IS ABOUT TO JUMP OFF THE ROOF!"
My head snapped up almost immediately, waking me up from my nap.
"When he stayed after school practicing yesterday, he went too far and broke his arm," Someone explained, and the image of Yamamoto tired self with trembling right arm came into my mind, and guilt instantly hit me hard.
I should have noticed! I should have seen all the signs! The dimming of the sparks in his eyes, the longer baseball practices, the sudden need to practice... I should have be more firm about stopping him! There are a thousand things I can come up with to stop him, but I didn't, and now he's attempting suicide?!
Like everyone else, I had run to the roof, and indeed, he was standing on the edge, his eyes dull. While the rest were shouting encouragement to stop him, I had remained silent.
There's nothing I can say or do.
I don't know how.
I was drowning in my own helplessness when Tsuna suddenly ran out from the crowd, landing right in front of Yamamoto. I was just as stunned as everyone else as I watched the exchange between the two of them, before the both of them jumped off the roof.
"TSUNA-NII!"
During that short period of me running towards the ledge, and desperately looking for any dead bodies on the ground, both Tsuna and Yamamoto were safely sitting on the ground, with Tsuna being half naked again.
"T-Thank god..." I sighed, finally able to relax. Of course, Tsuna always knew what to do, even when he thought he didn't know how. He's just amazing like that, always putting others before him. This was why Tsuna will always be the better twin, unlike me, who just murk things around, just a balloon of hot air...
Sadly, during the time when I was in deep thoughts, I had not noticed that the crowd had dispersed, not only due to the fact that both Tsuna and Yamamoto were safe, but because of a carnivorous individual.
"Herbivore, your brother has caused another disturbance again," Hibari growled, his tonfas at the ready, and his glare harsher than usual.
Oh shit.
On our way to school, we both came across a very beautiful lady on a bike, her stopping right in front of us, both of us mesmerised by her beauty. She has long, purple-ish pink hair, emerald eyes and full lips, yep, most definitely beautiful.
"Here, you can have this," She said before throwing Tsuna a can of orange juice. Even her voice was sweet!
But having poor eyes and hands coordination, Tsuna missed the can, and luckily, the beautiful lady was gone before she can see her kindness now spilled on the ground.
"I look so uncool," Tsuna-nii moaned, "It spilled too."
"Tsk tsk Tsuna-nii, you're such a heartbreaker, throwing away her gift of affection like that?" I teased, only causing him to blush.
"That's not a gift of affection!" He squeaked, before turning his attention to the can, "But why me?"
He was about to pick it up when a weird purple smoke began to emit from the spilled juice, and Tsuna immediately backed away. At the very same moment, a dead crow fall right next to the can, scaring the shit out of us.
"What the hell?!" Tsuna almost yelled, stepping away quickly, and me too, hiding right behind him.
"Suspicious" I stated, nodding to myself, "Definitely suspicious."
The moment Tsuna opened the door, the idiotic face of Gokudera appeared right in front of us, effectively spoiling my mood further.
"Good morning Juudaime!"
"Wah! Gokudera, stop calling me that!"
"What, am I invisible?" I said at the same time Tsuna cried out, but surprise, surprise, that silver hair idiot only noticed Tsuna.
"No, Juudaime is Juudaime!"
"B-But..."
"Oh, you're still playing the mafia game? Looks like fun!" Yamamoto suddenly appeared behind us, resting his hands on our shoulders, "Let me join in the family too!"
"Y-Yamamoto!"
"Sup Yamamoto!" Tsuna and I greeted at the same time.
"What? You're after becoming the 10th's right hand man?! It won't go that easy! The right hand man is me!" Gokudera exclaimed, suddenly all agitated, which, gave me a great idea.
"Let's just forget about all this boss and subordinate stu-"
"Of course you can join the family Yamamoto, the more the merrier!" I grinned, shooting Gokudera a quick smug look, and he'd seen it.
"HIEE! Tsuki! Don't go around saying things like that!"
"Woman! What did you just say?!"
"Ahahahaha, great! I'm now officially in the family!"
I laughed along as well, all of them screaming/shouting/laughing at the same time. School had never been this fun before-
"Not only are you guys in the way, but very noisy as well," Someone deadpanned, and turning around, the owner was no other than Hana, Kyoko beside her. Their friendship were well-known in school.
"Good morning Tsuna-kun, Tsuki-chan!"
"K-Kyoko-chan! G-Good morning."
"Osu Kyoko!" Tsuna stuttered, while I just waved. Tsuna had this really contented smile on his face, must be fantasying about Kyoko again.
"Is this kid your brother?" Kyoko suddenly mentioned, causing us to look down, only to see a baby with horns and wearing a cow jumpsuit holding onto Tsuna's leg like a kola bear, on the verge of tears. He must be Lambo, the weird, baby assassin that tried to kill Reborn that Tsuna talked about yesterday. He's good I must say, even I didn't notice him.
The reaction ranges.
"What? Since when?!"
"Who is he?!"
"Oh! He's cute!"
"What the fuck is that!"
"T-Tsuki! L-Language!" Tsuna cried out again, aiming at me this time. While the rest stared at the newcomer curiously, Kyoko knelt down at the Lambo's eye level.
"How old are you, little boy," Kyoko asked softly, soothingly, "What's your name?"
"Is it okay to bring him to school?" Hana interrupted, remaining cool and collected during the whole time, as if she never cared. Well, I'm pretty sure she didn't.
"W-Wait, i-it's not like that!" Tsuna exclaimed, desperately grabbing the protruding horns and tried to pry Lambo off, only to cause him to cry harder. As if our luck wasn't bad enough, the group of students in the corridor suddenly parted away, and even before seeing, I already knew who caused it...
Hibari Kyoya.
There he stood few feet away, tall and proud, his eyes looking down at everyone else, as if proclaiming all living things bar him were all trash. His eyes zoned in on us, narrowing when noticing the baby.
"T-This is bad," Tsuna muttered before speaking up at Hibari, "I-I'm sorry, I'll return him immediately!"
And off he went, running away, with Gokudera and Yamamoto running after him. I was about to follow when someone grabbed the back of my collar and jerked me back even before I can take a step.
"I-It's you, isn't it... H-Hibari-san," I asked, anime tears flowing. Just a few seconds ago, he's at least 10 feet away! How can he just appear right behind me in a second! And why didn't he chase after the others!
"Herbivore, your brother-"
"Caused another disturbance, I'm going to bite you yada yada yada," I scoffed, feeling stupidly brave all of a sudden, "Seriously, can you come up with a new line? You're so borin-" I didn't get to finish the sentence because Hibari had ruthlessly slammed me against the nearest wall, making me see stars.
Through my barely conscious state, I can hear a collected of loud gasps, and incoherent mumbles and whispers, and then a very clear growl before I fully fainted.
"You're all crowding, go back to classes before I'll bite you all to death."
It was a lesson I never learn; Never insult Hibari.
"You guys sucks," I sulked, still holding onto my nose that refused to stop bleeding. I had waked up in the infirmary, but not before noticing that there were quite a few bruises mysteriously appeared on my body.
At least he didn't leave me to die?
...
...
He's still a jerk nevertheless.
"S-Sorry Tsuki, a-are you okay?" Tsuna apologized.
"Yeah, I'm fin-"
"You're just weak, woman. Who cares what happened to you?!" Gokudera snorted, before turning to Yamamoto, "And why are you even here, baseball idiot?!"
"Geez, you're not a very happy dude, aren't you, octopus head." I grunted.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME, WOMAN?!" He roared, getting at my face. Of course, I didn't back down.
"I JUST CALLED YOU AN OCTOPUS HEAD, YOU BAKA!"
"WHO'S THE BAKA, AHO-TSUKI?!"
"YOU ARE, BAKEDERA!"
"YOU-"
"Mah mah," Yamamoto cut in, stepping in and blocking my view of that idiot, "There's no need for shouting, lunch will be over soon, and eating it under the sky is the best. Let's not waste this opportunity."
"Yeah, that's true," Tsuna chirped, and Gokudera and I would continue arguing if it wasn't for that foul smell and smoke emitting from Tsuna's lunchbox, with three crows dying this time. Upon closer look, there were even worms in the bento!
"T-This is,"
"It's better if you don't eat that," Reborn's voice suddenly appeared, "You'll go straight to heaven with one bite."
Ah, there he was, on the top of the second roof.
"Come out, I know you're there Bianchi."
And right opposite us, the door opened and revealed the beautiful girl from before.
"A-Aneki," Gokudera muttered before letting out a painful groan, clutching onto his stomach. Weird muc-
W-Wait a minute.
ANEKI?!
Tsuna too, voiced out my astonishment.
"It's been a while, Hayato," The girl, now known as Bakadera's sister, Bianchi, said coolly.
"Ciaossu Bianchi,"
"Reborn!" She gasped, her cool facade instantly morphed into one of longing and coy when seeing the baby, "I've come to take you back, Reborn."
She began reminiscing about the time together, only to be rejected by Reborn in an instant. Can one say burned? And for some reason, Bianchi came up with this idea that if she get to kill Tsuna, Reborn will be free.
I didn't back down from her that's for sure.
"Over your dead body I'm going to let you kill my Onii-chan!" I practically screamed, eyes fiery, clinging onto Tsuna possessively, "Let's see who will win! Your stupid, one-sided, pointless love, or our supermegafoxyawesomehot sibling love!"
Her eyes had flashed, focusing on me as sparks began to fly.
A war had been declared.
"Stupid economic class, stupid baby, stupid Bianchi," I continued to curse as I stir the batter. I had wanted to follow Tsuna and the rest to the infirmary to listen to that Bakadera's story when Reborn forced me to attend this meaningless class, something about the advisor should be capable of everything.
Including goddamn cooking.
Psh!
All girls around me were excited, for there had always been this tradition where girls will give their food to the guys they like. As much as I find it excessive, it didn't stop me from wanting to do my best. I do, after all, take after Momma.
"Yosh!" I grinned, my strawberry shortcake done. I lagged behind the flow, taking my own sweet time to head back to the class, where the boys will be waiting. I am in no rush, for like every other class, I would give mine to Tsuna, and only Tsuna.
He wouldn't mind the wait.
I was about to enter the class, I was just in time to see Kyoko offering her cake to Tsuna, and Tsuna's face lighten up instantaneously. One thing led to another, and before I knew it, Tsuna was once again in his underwear, devouring any cake in sight.
I quickly shut the door, and backed away slowly. I swear, you have to be there to understand just how scary Tsuna was at the very moment. And being the one who shun from danger, instantly made my escape without any second thoughts.
"Mahhhh, who do I give this to then," I mumbled to myself, wandering in the hall when I noticed the infirmary just right next to me. Looking at it, then my cake, then back at the door, I shrugged.
Why not.
"Yo, Ba-ka-de-raaaaa, are you still alive?"
"Urgh, s-shut up you stupid woman!" A dying voice called out.
I skipped over to his bed, feeling smug by his helplessness. Sitting next to him, I surveyed the room. "Hey, where's the nurse? Did you scare her away?"
"S-She's on a break, you aho." He said weakly, still holding onto his stomach.
"Wow, your sister really did a number on you huh?" Sure, I'm evil, but not evil enough to enjoy his suffering for so long. Plus, it's boring when he can't retaliate. Putting down my cake on the nearby desk, I leaned forward and began rubbing his temple.
"W-What are you doing you stupid w-woman?!" He exclaimed, trying to squirm away, but with no luck with his weakened self.
"Shhh, since I don't think you'll like me to rub your stomach, your forehead will just have to do, just focus on my fingers idiot. And stop moving!" I scolded.
"W-What-"
"I used to have stomachache all the time, you know," I interject, and even before Gokudera can give me the why-the-fuck-do-I-care speech, I continued, "Momma used to rub my stomach, but it still hurts. Then, one day, Tsuna-nii starts to rub my forehead too, saying it'll distract me from my pain. It really worked you know, my stomach no longer hurts like I used to remember."
Gokudera quiet down by then, no longer struggling.
"It has always been just the two of us, ever since we're babies. Our dad left us even before we can walk or talk, and Tsuna-nii has always been the man of the house, no matter how wimpy of a boy he is," I chuckled softly. "Tsuna-nii never really trusted anyone you know, he can't even trust himself, but he tries, he tries so hard, and I can see he's changing recently. More confident, more happy. It's different, but it's good. In fact, I think it's grea-"
"Then why are you telling me this?" Gokudera suddenly interrupted, snapping me out of my rambling. He had his usual scowl on, eyes firm, fixated on mine, "If you think it's great, why are you telling me this, like you are trying to validate it?"
"Eh?" I was for a moment, too stunned for words. It didn't help when Gokudera grabbed one of my hands and pulled it away, sitting up and forcing me to meet him head on.
"If you're really happy for Juudaime, why do you look like you're about cry?!"
So, can I assume no reviews is a good thing, cause it's not thattttt bad? Excuse my grammar mistakes too.
