Chapter Two
Enter Gokudera Hayato!
"Sawada Tsunami. Nickname: Tsuna or Tsu-chan by Mama. A student in class 1-A at Namimori Middle School. Her average test scores ranks below 60. A wimpy girl with zero athletic skills and a geek who reads nothing but mangas and play video games. She never had a boyfriend in her pathetic life, and currently has a crush on the school idol Kyoko–"
"No, I do not, and stop narrating!" Tsunami was fixing her red tie near the mirror, a look of annoyance plastered on her face.
"I'm just stating the truth, Dame-Tsuna." Reborn hopped on her head as she grabbed her bag, heading down to the kitchen. She quickly paused in her steps when she saw how her mother seemed cheerier than usual.
"Are you okay, Kaa-san?"
"Mm, why would anything be wrong, especially when my lovely daughter had such a handsome boy bring her home? Aah~ it was like a knight carrying his princess. My Tsu-chan is lucky!" Nana squealed like a sixteen year old girl as she packed the blue bento box with extra amount of delicious food.
"Knight? Princess? Reborn, what is she talking about?" Tsunami turned around, only to see him sitting down at the table, enjoying his breakfast alongside with a steaming hot cup of espresso.
"Tsu-chan, make sure to give this bento to that handsome, nice young man, who may or may not – but hopefully may – be my son-in-law one day." Nana smiled, handing over a large blue bento box, which Tsunami could tell just by the weight of it that her mom had stuffed it with nothing but delicious food.
"I also made one for you and Reborn-kun, and already placed it in your bag." She said, bustling around the kitchen once more.
"Thank you Kaa-san!" The brunette gave a smile to her mother before looking over at Reborn, however, she couldn't see him anywhere.
"Let's go, Dame-Tsuna." The infant tutor suddenly said, sitting on top of her head.
"What are you, a freaking ninja?!"
"How insulting. I'm a hitman."
"I'm just going to ignore that." Tsunami deadpanned. "See ya later, Kaa-san!" She waved at her mom.
"Bye Tsu-chan~! Make sure you deliver the package to that young man, I think he's in your class!" Nana called out, but Tsunami was already far ahead, making her way down the street.
"I wonder what Kaa-san was talking about. Ne, do you know anything, Reborn?"
"Dame-Tsuna, it looks like today you'll have a transfer student in your class from now on." In Reborn's hand was a little notebook that had the brunette's schedule written down on it.
'He totally avoided the question on me.' Tsunami could do nothing but sigh, weirdly becoming adapted to the way Reborn operated, yet still highly afraid of the small infant. He may have the face of an angel, but the infant was the devil, Tsunami swore, and she'd only been with him a day.
It didn't take long for her to reach the school gate, quickly bowing at Hibari, who stared at not only her, but at the infant on her head too. "Ciao." Reborn greeted, Hibari still eyeing the fedora-wearing infant. It began to confuse her, and make Tsunami nervous so she said a hasty excuse to the Disciplinary Committee leader before making her way inside.
"Hmm, so this is how Master's school looks like." Rubbing her sleepy eyes cutely was the Guardian Spirit Natsu, making Tsunami nearly have a panic attack and scream her head off in front of all these people around her. She had forgotten about the little spirit.
"Morning Reborn-san, morning M-Master!" The tiny fairy smiled, wearing an outfit similar to the one Tsunami wore during her transformation yesterday.
"Morning, Natsu – wait, did you sleep in my hair the entire night?" Tsunami opened her locker and took out her indoor shoes.
"Hai! Master's hair feels so warm, soft and fluffy!" Natsu exclaimed with a bright smile. "Tsunami-chan?" Hearing someone call out her name, the brunette turned around and saw that it was none other than Kyoko. Flashbacks of yesterday's events flashed through her mind, making her nervous and sweat slightly. 'Does Kyoko-chan remember what happened the other day? Oh no, what am I gonna tell her?! My life is over!'
"Ne, guess what? I had the weirdest dream the other day that involved you, but for some reason, I can't seem to barely remember it. I must sound silly, right?" Kyoko smiled innocently, having no memory of what had took place the other day.
"Hahaha! A d-dream a-about m-me? How weird!" Tsunami forced out a nervous laugh as she scratched the back of her head, wondering just what was going on and how come Kyoko doesn't remember what happen yesterday.
"Before I forget, I must say thank you!" The auburn-haired girl bowed, much to the shock of Tsunami.
"On the roof, after Mochida-senpai confessed and I for some strange reason fainted due to falling ill, I was informed that it was you who stood up for me when Mochida-senpai didn't take the news too well. Tsunami-chan is so brave! Well, I'll see you in class!" Kyoko waved, making her way off to class along with Hana, who was curious to know why her best friend was talking with Dame-Tsuna.
"Huh? What was all that about? Reborn?" The brunette asked, looking a bit dazed.
"Maa, just be happy, Dame-Tsuna. You finally made friends with your crush." He said flippantly.
"She's not my crush!"
"Master, I didn't k-know that s-she was y-your t-type. N-Natsu wishes you t-the best o-of luck!" Natsu gave Tsunami her support, which did nothing but aggravate her further.
"I keep telling you it's not like that!"
"Ne, did you hear? We're supposed to be having a new transfer student!"
"Really?!"
"I hope he's hot like Takeshi-kun!"
"Tch, we don't need another stupid devoted fanclub at this school!"
"Shut up, you're just jealous!"
"Please let him be hot!"
The class was filled with gossip and whispers, all centering around the new transfer student who was supposed to be arriving today. All the girls wished for another hot guy to join the class, the first being the popular baseball star that everyone loved, Yamamoto Takeshi. A person who could get along with just about anyone, as everyone adored him and the girls worshipped him, seeing how the guy had a huge fan-club pledged only for him.
Honey brown eyes watched the baseball star joke around and mingle with some of his friends, wearing the soothing, charming smile on his face that nearly every girl loved, before amber eyes caught Tsunami staring at him. The brunette blushed, being caught red-handed. Ignoring the footsteps that were coming her way, she kept her head down, wishing desperately for him to pass by her desk. Butterflies swarmed around in her stomach, feeling her nervousness kick in. The tiny wisp of hope was shattered when she heard the footsteps stop right by her desk. She expected harsh words to come out from his mouth, though she never in her life could imagine Yamamoto being mean, but with her status, very few people ever treated her with kindness.
"Yo, Tsunami, right?" The cheerful voice of the young teen had Tsuna perking her head up a little, eyeing the smiling male who had his hands raised slightly in the air. No hostile vibes could be sensed from him.
"Y-yes, that's me." Tsunami could feel the heavy, piercing stare that came from Yamamoto's fanclub, as they watched him talk to Tsuna, the weird loser of the school.
"I'm glad to see that you're alright now. When I found you yesterday, passed out on the ground along with Sasagawa and Mochida-senpai, I was really worried. I was informed that a gas bomb went off, knocking you all unconscious. It made complete sense to me, so I took you to the infirmary before taking you home." Yamamoto explained, a grin on his face. Tsunami deadpanned when she heard about the smoke bomb part.
'Just how the heck does a smoke bomb make sense? …Wait! …Did he just say…?'
"I met your mom too, by the way. She's a very sweet and kind woman. Very pretty too. You two really look alike! Hahaha, I guess that means Tsuna-chan will grow up to look pretty as well!" The baseball star laughed, oblivious to the position he just put Tsunami in. Now, if this was any normal girl, they would be delighted to hear such a thing from Yamamoto, but the brunette wished that he could take those words back because they were certainly going to be the death of her. Literally. His loyal fan club's stares were aimed straight at her, screaming bloody murder. She felt like a caged bunny, with wild hunters out to shed her skin.
Soon, classes started and the girls were happy to see their wish come true. Their eyes greedily took in the sight of the handsome, silver-haired bad-boy in the room, who had silver chain necklace around his neck and rings on his fingers. He glared at everyone in the room. "Allow me to introduce our new transfer student. This is Gokudera Hayato, who had just returned from studying at Italy."
"Super hot and foreign~! Yay, another hot guy joined the class!" The girls cheered happily, a fan-club already forming.
'Scary.' Tsunami's thoughts, on the other hand was completely different from ones that the girls were shouting out loud, much to the annoyance of transfer student. His forest green eyes scanned the room, until they rested on the brunette seated near the window, his eyes narrowing. Tsunami was frightened, wondering why the guy was glaring at her.
Even on his way to his seat, the silver-haired teen continued to glare at the confused brunette, going so far to rudely kick her table and chair, sending her out of her chair roughly. It was certainly embarrassing, as the other students began to laugh and tease her, but Tsunami was used to it, setting her table and chair back and sitting, still wondering why he seemed to have a problem with her.
After class, it was time for P.E., the subject Tsunami dreaded the most about. Today, they were assigned to play a game of volleyball, the boys playing first. The girls had already split into two groups, one for Yamamoto and the other for Gokudera. Even though Yamamoto excelled the most in baseball, it seemed that he was good at playing other sports. Gokudera also seemed good at it as well, but he looked as if he had better things to do than to play volleyball. His fanclub, which had grown so quickly in a matter of hours, seemed to admire and worship him, attracted to his bad-boy side.
"We love you, Goku-kun~!"
"Go, Yamamoto-kun~!"
"So Dame-Tsunami, how's your new crush with Yamamoto going?" Appearing from out of nowhere, Reborn landed on Tsunami's shoulder, nearly scaring the poor girl to death. She then realized what he said and heatedly replied.
"It's not like that, Reborn!"
"Master has so many love interests."
"Urgh, we're not going to do this again, and were you spying on me?"
"Of course not." Reborn said innocently, despite the obvious lie he just told.
"Rin-kun is doing pretty well too. No wonder he was chosen to replace Daisuke-senpai for the Friday volleyball match." Standing beside Tsunami were two girls from her class, gossiping to each other. "Poor Daisuke-senpai, I heard how this match was really important to him as well. I wonder how he's taking it." The conversation was caught on not only Tsunami's ears but Reborn as well, beady black eyes glancing across the room, seeing a boy hiding amongst the crowd, glaring darkly at a particular boy on the floor.
"This is not good…" Reborn muttered.
"Stay on alert, Dame-Tsuna. We may have trouble on our hands soon." The infant warned, looking serious. Tsunami followed the direction he was looking at, but was a little too late as she only caught a glimpse of a boy mingling in the crowd. Soon, the girls' time to play came, and when she was about to head to the court, Gokudera came her way. He bent down a little and whispered in her ear, "Meet me behind the school building after the game. You better be there, or else." His threat trailed off. Tsunami felt the butterflies in her stomach flutter even more, wanting nothing more but to disappear in that moment.
"Why am I gifted with such bad luck?" The brunette moaned out, burrowing her face onto her hands.
"Because good luck would do you no good." Reborn responded bluntly, patting Leon on the head. Tsunami whimpered and held in a sob.
"Hang in there, Master!" Natsu cheered.
So, mind telling me what you want, G-Gokudera-kun?" The volleyball match had finished and Tsunami, forced by Reborn, met Gokudera behind the building, despite the fact that she wanted nothing more but to run away and never look back. Maybe she could escape to another country and change her name while she's at it. Hawaii sounds like a nice place to spend time.
"I cannot accept such a puny, weak crybaby girl as you to be the next leader of the Vongola Family! I see nothing special about you so why are you chosen to be the reincarnation of the Sky?!" The silver-haired teen seethed, glaring at her.
"W-wait, how does he know about that?!" Tsunami exclaimed, when something in the distance not too far away from where they were caught her attention. It was two boys arguing with each other.
"I will not let you steal my spot on the team!"
"Wha-what are you talking about? I thought we were cool about this! Why are you acting so differently, Daisuke?!" The brunette soon recognized the two boys to be the ones the girls were gossiping about during the volleyball match.
"Oh no… I sense darkness and jealousy in that boy's heart!" Natsu cried.
"Dame-Tsuna, prepare yourself. Looks like you have another job to do again today." Reborn stated grimly, everyone watching the dark energy swirl around the boy.
"I won't let you take my place! Never! I'm the ace, not you!" The boy screamed out, a Dark Halve bursting from his chest. His body slumped onto the ground, while the creature trapped the other boy in a cage. It began to drain his life essence, making him fall unconscious.
"Dame-Tsuna!"
"I know! Natsu! Unleash and awaken, My Dying Will!"
"Hai, Master!" In a flash, Natsu transformed into a small orange ball, fusing within Tsunami's heart. The same transformation sequence took place, Gokudera watching with calculating eyes. "Engulfing and Pure. The Symbol of Freedom and Harmony… Guardian of the Sky!" Tsunami did the same introduction, striking the cute cheery pose from before catching herself.
"Oh, I have to stop myself from doing that." Tsunami muttered, before focusing on the Dark Halve. She flew over to the creature, only for it to summon volleyballs and throw them at her. She used her flight ability to dodge them, but once the heel of her foot made contact with one, it exploded and sent her flying into Gokudera.
"Tch, get off me! You suck at this!" Gokudera pushed Tsunami off her, pulling a handful of dynamites. He lit all of them up in a second with a flick of his wrist and threw them at the balls, destroying all of them.
"What the heck is he doing, bringing dynamites to school?! Isn't that illegal or something?!" Tsunami cried out, jumping back to her feet.
"Dame-Tsuna, stop pointing out the obvious and start doing your job. Heads up, I think Gokudera is in trouble." Reborn warned. Tsunami looked over at the direction of the teen and saw a large torrent of volleyballs coming in fast at him.
"Gokudera-kun!" Without even thinking, the brunette leapt at the bomber, pushing him onto the ground while she covered him. She bit her lips to silence the cries of pain as she stood strong against the volleyball harshly smacking onto her body, no doubt taking major damage. Gokudera stared at her, eyes wide and disbelief painted on his face.
"You idiot, w-why did you do that?"
"E-even though you may not like me, I will not allow you to get hurt!" The silver-haired teen was speechless, staring at the determined warm orange eyes of Tsunami. A feeling of regret and guilt washed over him.
Once the Dark Halve had an opening, Tsunami gave a powerful punch to it and leapt back, despite her body disagreeing with the slight exertion.
"Master!"
"I know, Natsu!" Thrusting both of her hands out, the brunette got ready to purify the Dark Halve. "With my Dying Will, I release the darkness from your heart!" Light orange flames burst from her hands and engulfed the creature, the soothing flames making its eyes shut as it repeated, "Purity!" three times. It soon turned to its normal form, which was a soft pink heart with white wings. It returned into the boy's chest and the cage around his friend disappeared.
Once her job was done, Tsunami's transformation came undone, wearing her school uniform. Reborn noted that her eyes looked exhausted as she only started transforming recently. It normally takes energy from the user, but as soon as she gets more battle experience, it should not affect her as much as it is now.
"Nice job, Dame-Tsuna! You're starting to get the hang of it. Great potential for the future boss of the Vongola Family." Reborn hopped on top of her head.
"Master did great!" Natsu smiled, flying by Tsunami's head.
"I thought I declined that already. Stop trying to force it on me! Thank you, Natsu." Tsunami yelled at the infant while she smiled sweetly at the spirit.
"Juudai-hime!" Turning around, the small group saw Gokudera on his knees, a look of shame expressed in his eyes. He bowed his head, nearly banging his forehead on the ground.
"Please forgive my rudeness, Juudai-hime!"
"Huh? G-Gokudera-kun, it's alright! Please get up already!" Tsunami placed a hand on the silver-haired teen's shoulders, taken back when a cute puppy look was aimed at her, stars shining in his eyes.
"Juudai-hime is so kind! I will follow you for eternal as your right-hand man!" Tsunami had to blink her eyes when she saw a wagging dog tail and cute silver dog ears on the bomber, wondering if it was her imagination or not.
"Oi, Tsuna! What's going on here?" Walking over to the group was none other than Yamamoto Takeshi, who stopped and stood a little too close beside Tsunami. Gokudera immediately disapproved of this, and in a flash, was standing in between the two, glaring at Yamamoto.
"Don't get too close to Juudai-hime, idiot!"
"Juudai-hime? Is that some type of a game? Maa, sounds fun!" The baseball star smiled, ignoring the blank looks other beside Reborn was giving him.
"Ha, if it isn't Dame Tsuna." Standing far from them, stood three of their upperclassmen. It took a second for Gokudera to realize what they had said about his precious Juudai-hime. He took a stick of dynamite out, looking coldly at them. "Excuse me for a moment, Juudai-hime, I have to take care of some trash."
"W-w-wait! Gokudera-kun!"
"Dame-Tsuna, don't forget, Mama said to hand this over to Yamamoto." He pointed to the box in her bag. She took out the large blue-clothed bento box her mother had prepared this morning. She quickly pushed it into his hands, a pink color dusting her cheeks as she looked away shyly.
"K-Kaa-san wanted me to give this to you, as a t-thank you for carrying m-me home t-the o-other day."
"Ah, it was no problem!"
"Juudai-hime?" Gokudera was finished putting the trash into the garbage can, and turned around, eyes widening when he saw the exchange between the two. He ran back over to them and stood protectively in front of Tsunami, his dislike for the teen tripled now.
"How dare you receive such a sincere package from Juudai-hime?! This is unforgivable! I'm her right-hand man so we don't need you!"
"Ah, there's a love rival now."
"M-Master is so popular!"
"I-it's not like that!"
"Love rival? What's that?" Yamamoto was as clueless as ever.
