"I never would have guessed that looking for a job could be so hard." You sighed as you walked the streets of Namimori. You had skipped school today to look for a job to help pay for the house because the money you had saved up was running out faster than you had originally expected and now to save yourself from having to eat ramen every night you were looking for a job. Sure you could use the money you got from when your family died but it just didn't feel right to use money that someone else had earned. "You would think that there would be at least one place that was hiring." You said kicking a rock to the side of the side walk.
As you watched to roll your stomach decided that you should worry about something else like getting something to eat. 'I think I passed a sushi place a little ways back.'
After retracing your steps you found out that you were right and entered the small shop. 'Well might as well give myself something good before I have to go on a ramen diet.' Inside you seen that it was very nicely decorated and there was a middle aged man standing behind the counter. He had spiky black hair with very warm friendly eyes but behind that warmth was the sharpness of a master swordsman. Walking up to the counter the man have you a warm smile and asked you what you wanted and you ordered the cheapest item on the menu.
"I haven't seen you around here before have you been in Namimori long?' The man asked as you sat down.
"Nope I just moved here from Italy a few weeks ago." You said leaning back in the chair. "I think my son said something about two new students from Italy being in his class a few weeks ago." He said not looking up from making the sushi.
"What's your son's name?" You asked.
"Yamamoto. Yamamoto Takeshi." That name sounded familiar. You remember some girls gushing about how cute he was and how good he was at baseball. "I think I know him. He's really good at baseball right?" You asked as he brought the sushi to your table. "Yep that's my boy." He said sounding extremely proud of his son. Just as he said that a few people walked in and our conversation was ended. Even though it was the cheapest sushi on the menu it was still amazing.
You had finished your sushi and was paying for it when there was a loud crash and the sound of something falling to the floor. Your head whipped around to see was caused the noise when you seen a boy around your age on his knees cradling his arm. "Takeshi!" The owner exclaimed, running around the counter and to his hurt son. "What happened to you?"
"I was training at the field like I normally do and when I swung the bat there was crack and my arm gave out." He said in a pained voice. Seeing them side by side you could easily see the resemblance between the two. He had spiky black hair and warm light brown eyes but his eyes didn't hold the sharpness that his father's did.
Walking up to the pair you leaned down and looked at his arm; but you couldn't tell much from this angle because of how swollen it was. "Your that new transfer student right?" He said sounding surprised you nodded not looking up from his arm. "Do mind if I look at it back in Italy I took some medical classes." That was a lie but when you remember everything you read. You should be able to tell if it is broken or not. "Yeah that's fine."
You gently reached out and touched his arm when you did his breath hitched and his other hand clenched into a fist. You could feel both Yamamoto and his father's eyes on you as you examined the boy's arm. You knew it was broken when you touched his arm.
You let go of his arm and reached into your bag to bring out a first aid kit. "I'm sorry but it's broken. It's not bad and I could wrap it up here or would you rather go to the hospital?" You asked looking up from the first aid kit. "Just wrap it up here I don't need to go to the hospital." Yamamoto said before his dad could say anything. You looked over at his dad to see if it was truly ok and he looked worried but said it was ok.
You grabbed the first aid kit and started to wrap his arm and put it into a sling. After you did that you grabbed a bottle of pain killers and gave them to Yamamoto. You weren't really sure why you carried them because of that bastard's experiments there wasn't any pain killer that would work on you. "That should do it. Take these before you go to bed and it should heal up." You said standing back up and putting the first aid back into your bag. Yamamoto stood back up too smiling lightly and thanking you before walking into the back of the shop where I guess there house was.
"Did you want him to go to the hospital?" You asked the owner. "He wouldn't go. He hurt something much worse than his arm and the hospital can't fix it." He said standing up and looking down at you. "Huh?" You asked confused. "He hurt his pride." That made more sense if his arm was hurt he wouldn't be able to play base ball.
"Why did you and your parents move here from Italy? If you don't mind me asking." He said snapping you out of your thoughts. "It was just me that moved here not my parents." You didn't really mind talking about your family. It was something that you have to accept but that wasn't stopping you from finding the person that ordered the attack and killing him.
"You're here by yourself? That must be hard." The man said pulling you out of your thoughts. "Yeah today I was looking for a job so I don't have to eat ramen every night." You said smiling sheepishly and rubbing the back of your neck.
He thought about something for awhile then smiled down at you. "Well I think that I could help you with that." Your eyes widened. "Really?" You asked, eyes practically sparkling. "Yeah you seem like a good girl that works hard. My name is Yamamoto Tsuyoshi." He smiled and started to walk over to the counter. "My name is Silvia Gallo. So what do I have to do?"
"Nothing too hard just deliver sushi to some houses, clean the tables, and maybe if you show some skill I'll teach you how to make sushi." That sounded easy enough. "So when do I start?" You asked starting to pay for the sushi.
"If you could start tomorrow after school that would be good. Also you don't have to pay you helped Takeshi out so consider this one on the house." Tsuyoshi smiled and handed back your money. "Thank you sir. I'll be come back here after school tomorrow." You said as you walked out of the bar.
You were extremely excited to start your new job and actually woke up on time. Normally you would sleep in and had to run to school so you weren't late. After changing into your uniform and walking out of the house. You saw Tsuna walking out of his house. "Ciao boss!" You said running up to the young Vongola. "What- oh Silvia hello." He blushed and looked at his feet. "I didn't know you took this way to school." He said getting over his embarrassment. "Yep, I live right over there." You said pointing over to your house which you could clearly see from Tsuna's house. "How come I never see you walking to school?"
"Well normally I sleep in and end up running to school." You said sheepishly rubbing the back of your neck. "Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who ends up having to run to school." Tsuna said laughing lightly. "You know it was quiet without you and Gokudera in class yesterday." You laughed with him for a short while when suddenly you realized what he had just said. "WAIT! Are you telling me that Gokudera wasn't at school yesterday!" You suddenly said startling Tsuna. "You were all by yourself?" Tsuna nodded telling you that he had to go restock his dynamite looking scared and a tad bit touched. "Did anything bad happen?" You asked concern in your voice. "N-no it was a normal day." That set your mind and soul at ease. "Oh good I'm glad nothing bad happened to you." Tsuna had to do go over those words that you had just said in his head to make sure that he heard them correctly. Nobody had ever really cared about him getting hurt or something bad happening to him before, but what you said next ruined his happy moment. "I mean what would Gokudera do to me if he found out I skipped school and the boss got hurt. What would Reborn do?" You looked back at Tsuna and seen that he looked a bit blue in the face with a sweat drop.
"You don't have to call me Boss you know. I would rather you just call me Tsuna." He said starting to walk again. "Really?" You were surprised normally a boss would be proud of his standing. "Yeah could you ask Gokudera to do the same?"
"Err well Gokudera doesn't listen to a thing that I say so don't get your hopes up Tsuna." He seemed to understand and the rest of the way to school was filled with comfortable silence.
As you walked into the classroom Kyoko ran up to you. "Hi Silvia. Hi Tsuna, you two are here early today." She said smiling. Tsuna made a yelping sound and quickly said that he had some homework he had to finish. "Ciao Kyoko." The two of you started talking and you realized that Gokudera still wasn't there today. Suddenly a boy busted through the door.
"Hey everyone! Yamamoto is about to jump off the roof!" Your blood ran cold. He couldn't possibly be killing himself over a broken arm? A lot of the other kids in the class were skeptical and thought it was a joke. "No really, he stayed after school practicing yesterday and went too far and broke his arm!" You looked over at Tsuna and seen that he was shaking, tense and looked extremely pale. You started to make your way over to him but was blocked by a bunch of students stampeding towards the door and you got caught up right in the middle of it.
Breaking free from the horde you made your way towards the door, but ran into Kyoko. "Silvia aren't you going?" She asked stopping. "Yeah, but where is Tsuna." You didn't see him get caught up in the horde like you did. "Oh, he said he would be there after he uses the bathroom. Now let's go see what's going on." She said grabbing your wrist and dragging you towards the roof.
Once up there you seen that what the boy was saying was true because Yamamoto was standing on the edge of the roof his arm still in the sling that you made. Most of the students were telling him that he was taking it too far thinking that it was still a joke. "Heh, sorry but that's not true. After I lost baseball God threw me away and now I have nothing left." Your eyes widened when you heard how serious and defeated he sounded. From the back of the crowed you thought you heard Tsuna's 'Hieee' but simply brushed it off as one of the fan girls crying. The next thing you know Tsuna is running through the crowd and tripped ending up in the space between the old rusty fence behind Yamamoto and the crowd on the roof.
Tsuna rubbed his head and looked up realizing where he was he started to freak out wondering what he should do and how to escape. "If you came to stop me it's no use. You should be able to understand my feelings." Yamamoto said turning around to face the distressed teen. Tsuna made a confused noise and looked up at Yamamoto. "For someone who is called 'No-good Tsuna' all the time you can understand the feeling of preferring to die over failing at everything, right?"
Tsuna looked down at his feet and stuttered over his words. "U-um I . . . no you and I are different so-" Yamamoto made a snorting sound that cut Tsuna off. "How arrogant of the recently awesome Tsuna. So you're a fine student now compared to me?" He asked sounding very pissed off. "No! That's wrong! Because I'm no-good!" Tsuna said suddenly throwing his hands out in front of himself.
"Unlike you I've never put effort into one single thing. I arrogantly told you 'effort' and such, but I've really done nothing. What I said yesterday was a lie. . . I'm sorry! Saying you're so frustrated that you want to die, or you want to die because of an accident that would end your career. I've never had those kinds of intense thoughts, unlike you. In fact, I'm a pathetic person who would have regrets when dying. Thinking if I'm going to die then I should've done it with my dying will. Thinking that it's a waste to die like this. So, I can't understand your feelings . . . sorry." As Tsuna ended his speech everything was quiet. Realizing what he had just done he quickly became nervous again and started to run away.
"Wait Tsuna," Yamamoto grabbed the back of Tsuna's shirt causing him to fall backwards into the old rusty fence. The fence quickly gave out under Tsuna's weight and sent him into Yamamoto who fell backwards off the roof. You quickly ran to the fence getting ready to jump off yourself, but stopped when you saw a gleam of a well-polished gun sticking out of a window.
You heard the gunshot and soon Tsuna's forehead started bleeding and soon caught on fire. His clothes ripped off and he yelled 'MID-AIR REBORN!' Your eyes stayed glued to the scene as Tsuna started running along the side of the school to quickly catch Yamamoto. After catching him he dug his heels into to side of the school to slow himself down but he couldn't slow fast enough. "Shit can't stop" You heard him growl. While he was maneuvering himself where he would take the force of the impact you heard the sound of a second shot. This one went right into the top of Tsuna's head. Then he started yelling that his tsumuji (hair whorl) was itching and a large spring made out of what you guessed was his hair came out of his head.
The spring absorbed all of the impact from falling and you quickly made your way down to where the two had landed. When you got there you heard Yamamoto and Tsuna talking. "Yamamoto are you ok?" Tsuna said the flame going out on his head. "Yeah, Tsuna you're amazing! It's just as you said I have to do it with my dying will. I don't know what I was thinking. Nothing good comes from my idiocy." Yamamoto said rubbing the back of his head and smiling. "You got that right." You said making the two turn to see you standing with an amused look on your face.
"Ah! Silvia when did you get here?" Yamamoto said standing up and walking over to you. "Wait how do you two know each other?" For the few weeks you had been here he had only seen you with Gokudera and himself or Kyoko and Hana. He didn't know when you two could have met each other. "Yeah we know each other but I don't think that is what you should be worried about right now." You said yawning lightly and motioning to his lack of clothing. Tsuna made a startled yelp and quickly gathered his clothing and ran to the restrooms with a large blush on his face and other students calling him a pervert. You and Yamamoto just looked at each other before laughing and heading back to class unaware of the glare from a certain hot headed bomber chewing threw the butt of his cigarette.
"Why do I have to be here while you stalk Tsuna?" You yawned leaning against the rail. It had been about a week since the incident with Yamamoto and right now you were standing on top of a platform thing with Gokudera and Reborn while they waited for Tsuna. "Be quiet woman I don't know how you can be so calm while that idiot is getting too close to the Tenth. You're his guard you should care about this stuff." Gokudera growled standing up to get a cigarette. "Yamamoto is harmless and a really nice guy if you take the time to get to know him." That was when Gokudera spotted the boss and ignored you.
Tsuna was walking with Yamamoto laughing about something. You guessed it was about failing classes. Even though you had only been working for his father for a little over a week the man had told you pretty much anything you needed to know about the boy including his bad grades. You watched Yamamoto playfully nudge Tsuna with his elbow and laugh about something. "He elbowed him! Damnit that baseball bastard being all clingy with the Tenth." Gokudera cursed crushing his cigarette pack.
"Reborn are you really planning to let him join the family." Gokudera asked the infant that was sitting on your shoulder. "I'm not planning to, he's already in it, I've decided." Gokudera let out a strangled groan when he said it but quickly snapped out of it when Yamamoto elbowed Tsuna again and went back to cursing the young baseball player. "Please rethink this Reborn. I object to someone so rude like him entering the family!"
"You know he's not going to give up on this, Reborn." You said sighing lightly. Reborn made a humming sound "We could always give him the Family Entrance Test." Reborn jumped down from your shoulder and onto the railing. "That's it! If we do that then not only would he not be in the family but he might also die in the process!" Gokudera sounded a little too happy about this. Not hearing a response from the fedora wearing child Gokudera turned around only to find him sleeping standing. "He wasn't even listening?" You snickered at the slightly put down tone in his voice.
Sending you a glare his turned his attention back to the boss and Yamamoto. "We'll see what your made of soon enough baseball idiot."
