Please Review? Follow? I should be able to update more often :)
I'm kind of hyped to be going to university :)
Anyone else going to university this autumn?
Anyways... On with the story ;D
Previously:
"Don't look down on tessenjutsu. It is possible to kill someone with a single blow. Tessenjutsu requires a high level of sophistication, it would be impossible for you to understand. You are very brash, you charge into a fight without hesitation, without thinking it first. Impulsive I would say. Why don't we stop? I don't want to fight you." I added as I blocked his attack. When he didn't reply, I decided to use my own method to end this fight as there was no point in fighting a meaningless fight. I took one of my smoke then flash bomb and tossed it onto the floor. Dragging Tsuna and the others I started running out of the reception room and closed the door before Kyoya could respond. I was going to drag them to class, however I got lost and ended up on the roof.
In the end Reborn explained everything and told us about how it was for training. As always Tsuna freaked out, and Hayato believes that he would get his revenge.
But this dude is powerful, his technique is impulsive to the point that makes it hard even for me to predict his next move. This weak point of his may also be a strength when in battle. Kyoya Hibari, you are one very strong boy indeed.
Avery's POV
It is the season of the athletic festival. Apparently, the athletic festival is a very big event here. Even during the time of preparation, the mood seemed to change drastically and everyone is excited. This would have been the first time I have attended something like this. The whole school was decorated with banners. Our school is divided into 3 teams, and this competition called pole knocking is one of the most important event. This year it seems like the teams are divided according to class, this means that Kyoko's weird brother is on my team.
"That boxing freak is so annoying. Can't he speak with a normal tone?" Hayato complained.
"I agree." I admitted, my ears were seriously tired. He was talking incessantly about the sports festival, it was getting annoying.
"The Pole knocking competition is the key to win this year once again. It's been a tradition that the team's representative is the leader of the pole knocking, which means I should be doing it." Ryohei said. "But I will resign! Rather than being the leader, I want to battle as a soldier!" he shouted. I can't believe the is someone like him. Such a bloody idiot! He is just being selfish. "But there is nothing to worry about, I've prepared someone else who is better than me to be the leader." He continued.
Suddenly everyone start to talk, "eh?" I heard someone murmur.
"Sawada Tsuna from class 1-A" Ryohei pointed at him. I laughed as soon as I heard that. Nobody wanted Tsuna to be the leader, after all he was still known as Dame-Tsuna. It was really funny watching Tsuna squirm, as he looked really weird. But he was really happy when people didn't agree with him.
"Raise your hands!" Ryohei shouted very loudly. This was enough to get some people to raise their hands.
"There's no one in our class who's gonna refuse right?" Hayato threatened. Some guys from our class started raising their hands, and some girls who liked him also raised their hands. However, this was not enough.
"Mou… Although Tsuna-kun looks weak, he has a really strong heart. I believe he will do whatever he can to win for us. If we don't give him a chance, how can he prove himself?" I sweetly said out loud while batting my eyes. Internally I was smirking at what Tsuna will have to suffer.
"At this rate, the decision will eventually be supported by the majority." Ryohei said. "It's decided then! The leader of the pole knocking is Sawada Tsuna" he cheered.
"What!? No way! What do you mean?" Tsuna exclaimed. But he was ignored by everyone.
"Lucky Tsuna, to be so important in the sports festival. I'm really envious of you" I sniggered, and for some reason Tsuna was able to see my insincerity.
As we walked home, I was provided with Tsuna's speech about the terrors of pole knocking. "To draw the leader down, not only do their clothes get pulled violently, but they're also punched and kicked. Wining or losing, the leader always gets covered with wounds. That's why normally the leader is usually the strongest person in the team. Team B's leader is the president of the karate club while team c has the president of the sumo club. I shaking with fear!"
"But Kyoko will be cheering you on! You will complete disappoint her if you don't do it." I smiled. "Anyways, I'm too busy to bother with this."
"What do you have to do?" Tsuna asked me.
"School cafeteria doesn't open on that day, thinking about all the money I can earn from selling food already makes me happy. You'll buy some food from me, right Tsuna?" I started walking into my house without waiting for his reply.
While walking home I passed Ryohei and I decided to have a little fun. "Ryohei, don't you think it would be extremely advantages for you to train with Tsuna before the contest?" I asked nicely.
"You are… EXTREMELY right, thanks! I will go now!" He replied.
I spent the rest of the day making onigiris and baked some cookies.
The next day
"Tsuna, are you alright? You don't look so good." I told him, as I exited my door.
"I think I caught a cold." He replied.
"Well that sucks, it's too late to find a replacement. So I guess you have to do it always." I sniggered. "Well good luck, I found out I'm also in some activities, also I'll be holding a stall during lunch, so make sure to come by. See you later!" I told Tsuna as I jogged towards to school, making sure to properly stretch my legs to get myself ready.
As I jogged into school, I could see that everyone was really excited for this sports festival. I volunteered to be in the 100 meters and high jump as both of these were my strong point. This will also help me get come recognition in the school and get more potential customers. Obviously I came first for the 100 meters race, and I was able to ask the announcer to borrow the mic for a second. "Hello everyone, this is Avery-san, I made a lot of onigiris and cookies today and I would like to share with you all at lunch. However, making these food has costed me quite a bit of money and I would like to ask you for a 200 yen donation. Thank you!" I cheered.
Somehow Tsuna got into some bouncing competition, I saw him looking around. I'm pretty sure he was extremely ashamed of himself, and think that he looked like a loser. As predicted, he came last. Then for some reason Hayato thought that he was saving his strength for the pole knocking. "You fool!" Ryohei shouted at Hayato. "Always give it your best, Sawada! The victory for the team A is at risk!" He shouted again. His voice was really loud and it was starting to give me a headache.
Obviously, Hayato did not respond well to his shouting and they ended up punching each other. "Fighting in the team? Hyohoho! Pole knocking is all about team work, looks like there's nothing to fear about the A team." Some huge bald guy said. I was about to go help Tsuna, I might be laughing at Tsuna's misfortune, but I still wished the best for him. But luckily, both Ryohei and Hayato shouted at him and attacked him.
The people of team C suddenly became angry and Ryohei replied "anyone who has a problem, bring it! Sasagawa of the team A will deal with it." Hayato also responded in a somewhat similar way. They were making the situation worst.
"Oshikiri-sempai, the leader of the team B, was attacked by someone in the bathroom" someone shouted. "According to the witness, it was done by someone in the team A" he added. This was not looking good for Tsuna, as he was the leader of team A. In the end, Reborn ended up being the witness and told everyone that it was under the orders of Tsuna.
The two simple minded idiots obviously thought it was a good strategy. "Did you see that? This is how we do things!" Ryohei added.
"Tsuna, I never knew you would stoop so low just to win. If you told me, I would have gladly poisoned the water in the water fountain near team B's area." I whispered to him.
I was laughing hardly now, I don't think I ever had that much fun back in Italy. Everyone was enraged and wanted Tsuna to resign. Then an announcement was made asking each team's third grade representative to go to the headquarter.
"Ryohei! Before you leave, please try my EXTREME energy onigiri" I smiled. I was offering it to him for free, but I decided that I would ask Kyoko to come sit with me during lunch to discuss about the cost, this would attract more customers to my store.
"Kyoko, I made some onigiris and since your brother really liked it, I was wondering if you would try some?" I asked her nicely.
"Okay, let me ask Hana to come too!" She replied cheerfully
"Ok! The more the merrier" I smiled
Us three ended up sitting on a picnic cloth I provided with stacks and stacks of onigiri filled boxes in front of me. I also had cookies available too. I was planning on selling the cookies for more as they took more effort and should be worth more.
"Ano Henri-san, I heard that you have extra onigiris… Well I have forgotten to bring lunch to school and i was wondering if you would give me some onigiris. I brought money too! So… Do you mind me buying 3 onigiris?" He asked shyly.
"Sure. That would be 500 yen. I took 100 yen off because I saw you come first for the hula hoop competition and I was really really impressed. You were so amazing!" I giggled, putting on the sweet girl facade.
"Really? Thanks. I'll tell my friends to get some onigiris from you if you have more left" He bashfully said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Thank you, you are so kind" I giggled again.
The crowd near me soon started to disperse as I sold more and more onigiris and cookies. Since with the current money I made I would be able to buy a new laptop, I decided to stop selling and take some time off for myself. Since most students were near the fields or at the classroom during lunch time, I decided to head up to the roof, as the view there was nice. After wandering around for a while I finally reached the roof only to realise that someone was already there.
"Ara, hello mis~tah prefect. How are you?" I greeted nicely.
"Herbivore, I'll bite you to death." He stated as he glared at me.
"Wait! The cleaners aren't here today, I don't think you would want blood to mess up this beautiful and precious school right?" I shouted as I prepare to dodge his attacks.
"Hn. I'll bite you to death another day." He replied and quickly hid his tonfas.
"I have some onigiris and cookies left, would you like some?" I asked him. He was hesitant and didn't seem like he wanted them. "Don't worry, I didn't poison them." I smiled sweetly. With that he took one onigiri and started to take a bite. "Is it good?" I asked him, hoping for him to give me a response.
"Hn" was all he said.
Both of us sat on the roof silently eating my onigiris, I minded my own business as I did not want to start a fight. The silence between us was quite relaxing and as I sat there eating my lunch I realised that he is not as bad as the rumors make him to be.
Soon the school's speaker told everyone that this year's pole knocking match would be the A team against both B and C team. Soon everyone on the field became really rowdy. "Are you not going to participate?" I asked ending the silence between us.
He ignored me and continued to eat my onigiris. "I think Tsuna is going to be the team leader. Don't you think something interesting might happen? The baby might be there." I stated.
"Hn" He stood up and took my cookies and started walking towards the exit.
"Wait! Where are you going-uh" I seemed to have forgotten his name.
"Hibari Kyoya, don't forget it again, Henri Avery." He replied. Somehow him acknowledging my name felt like him saying thanks for my food.
"Hibari Kyoya, Hibari Kyoya, Kyoya, Kyoya, Kyoya" I repeated myself hoping to imprint his name into my mind. Then I realised my heart started beating faster for some reason. I must have caught a cold, I should bring my jacket the next time I come up here. My face is quite warm too, maybe it's just my allergies.
"Ah! I should be getting down there to cheer Tsuna too! I don't want to miss this excitement!" I gasped.
As I reached the field, I realised Tsuna was about to climb onto the pole. I started running towards him hoping to tell him good luck.
"TSUNA!" I shouted.
"Avi-chan" he said.
"I'm glad I found you! I wanted to wish you good luck, I asked Kyoya to be the new team leader as I didn't want all your training to go to waste. Plus, Kyoya is really nice." I cheered, but internally I was laughing at his misfortune.
Tsuna's POV
I was about to get on the pole when I heard my name being shouted loudly.
"TSUNA!" Avi-chan shouted.
"Avi-chan" I could feel the glares of some boys as said her name.
"I'm glad I found you! I wanted to wish you good luck, I asked Kyoya to be the new team leader as I didn't want all your training to go to waste. Plus, Kyoya is really nice." She cheered, but I could see that she was smirking at unluckiness. She was exactly like Reborn at these kind of situations, I swear she really likes seeing me tortured.
"I'm so glad Kyoya accepted my request. I asked him to treat you nicely, you know!" She continued. Avi-chan might as well feed me to the dogs, Hibari-san would never treat anyone nicely. It would be a miracle if I don't end up in a hospital after this.
Avery's POV
I stood on the sidelines as I watched Tsuna quiver. In the end, he ended up falling and it ended up as a fight festival full of rowdy boys. I sniffed and decided that I was better than this and started walking towards the exit of the school.
"You, school has not ended yet. You are not permitted to leave school without authorisation." Kyoya stated.
"School will end in about 10 minutes Kyoya. It's not like I have anything to do anyways. I'm surprised that your not joining in the fight though. Didn't think you were the type that would turn down a fight." I giggled.
"It's Hibari. You can be busy by fighting me." He replied.
"Mou. Kyoya, don't you ever get tired of fighting? Life is not all about fighting, you know." I replied quickly, as I saw him running towards me with his tonfas in his hands. I ducked and did a forward roll towards my left. "Ahh… I'm all dirty from the floor. I don't want to fight!" I complained and took three smoke bombs and threw it in front of me.
"YOU" Hibari coughs.
"See you later! Kyoya, and it's Avi not you" I waved to him as I climbed onto the top of the school gate and jumped down on the other side and started running.
What I needed was a long hot bath to de-stress myself. Life has been so much more hectic nowadays, but I shouldn't complain as I loved it.

hehe… Hibari is a bit of a softy ;)
Avery fights with a fan... I kind of imagine it as a huge fan that is detachable into two smaller fans, but maybe I'm a bit of an idealistic. I don't know whether it should be one huge fan that can be split into two smaller fans or just two normal smaller fans.
Avery doesn't like to inflict pain on others, but sometimes she just can help but enjoy seeing some people under stress or pain. What she likes is their emotions and how they react to it. That is why she excels in subjects such as history and psychology, but does not do as well in more objective subjects such as science.
