Hi. I am yet to update anything else. I'm sorry. To Natsu Yuuki: I'll try making it longer. This took from the last update, 15th of May, to make… mainly because I've been stormed with many assignments.

Disclaimer: I do not own KHR.

…

The following week arrived fast. There were many things for her to prepare for her new start at school. First of all, being mentally prepared for how the students would treat her, and second of all making friends. Everything else would still be considered a problem for her, but they wouldn't be as bad as those two. Before she even became who she was today, she was already deemed 'Dame-Tsuna' who always fell over no matter she was. She cringed as those memories reopened.

"Kawahira-san, do you think I should change my name?" asked Tsuna.

"Why should you?" he asked raising an eyebrow, "do you no longer want to be who you are?"

"I've changed. I'm a different person," she mumbled.

"Even if you say that, you are still the same Sawada Tsunayoshi I met all that time ago," he said.

"I g-guess..."

…

"Okay, let's go through this. Your name changed because you got adopted and so had been home schooled," said Kawahira. "Your fake name is Hira Tsunayoshi. We just took the Hira from my name."

"Is there anything else?" asked Tsuna a bit nervous going to school.

"If they ask where you live, just say you live with a colleague of your father and moved away and came back to go back to school."

"You're more like a father."

"I heard that and I'm not that much older than you either."

"Yeah, you may be physically some 19, 20 year old guy, but you're older than a few centuries, old man," chuckled Tsuna as she left before the true earthling could retort. He sighed. The time was coming. It was bound to come eventually.

…

"As you all know, we are welcoming back a student. She had been living with her father's colleague while being home schooled as they had been living far away and decided to move back to continue school and complete middle school here," said the teacher, "please come in."

"Hello, my name is Hira Tsunayoshi, please to meet you." The moment she entered, she was instantly eyed by the majority of the male population and some girls. Some looked mean, some looked predatory, others were merely interested or had nasty snarls on their faces. But those were the males. The females were either happy/jealous/indifferent with another girl, or had those bitch looks.

"Your seat is the one-" The teacher scanned the room and found one spot in which there were two empty seats. "The one next to Yamamoto. Please put your hand up."

A black haired, tanned, athletic teen put up his hand. She went towards him and managed not to fall over. As she plopped herself on the seat, she realised that one leg of the table was a bit too short and the hook for her bag on her table was bound to fall off unless she did something about it.

Luckily, she was able to attend second year middle school and didn't need to do first year as her [fake] home schooling document records was presented as very good and did not seem to be 'fake.'

Class soon started and she learnt that most of the students don't listen to the teacher, and do the bare minimum of work to pass. Pouting at these methods, Tsuna did her best to keep up with the lesson finding all of the things already taught to her by Kawahira. She thought about what she could learn at school.

Before she knew it, it was already time for the next subject which happened to be PE. Despite trying to convince the principle to let her not do PE, Kawahira said that it would only raise suspicions about her condition considering that she did look pretty weak. (That's because she is.)

As she walked out of the change room, most of the girls were applying make-up of some sorts. Slightly disturbed at how much they want to impress the opposite sex, she quickly made her way to the field outside. After waiting for a minute, the rest of the class decided to arrive.

"Is everyone here?" shouted the teacher. He was rather tall and very muscular and with the looks the students gave him, he wasn't that likeable.

"Girls over there, boys over there!" he shouted, "what are you waiting for? MOVE IT."

The boys slumped as they walked towards the other side of the field and the girls merely clicked their tongues or said nothing. She noticed that there were different groups of girls and boys. On the boys' side, there was Yamamoto being surrounded by other people. He seemed rather nervous for some reason. On the girls' side, there was a brownish-orange haired girl and a dark brown haired girl in which everyone avoided. She heard that the dark haired girl was known for her 'yankee'-like personality and calling everyone monkeys and the other girl was apparently an angel in both her personality and looks, which resulted her popularity.

Expecting a normal female PE teacher instead came a very stern and mean-looking female. She wasn't that tall, but she was taller than them which added to her mean looks. She looked like she meant business and no fooling around, which disheartened Tsuna for her condition.

"Just because you're all girls, doesn't mean you can't do the boys' stuff." There were a few groans from the other girls and the two girls merely sighed as the dark haired girl glared at the teacher.

Already feeling stressed about what they were going to do, the teacher magically pulled out a basketball.

"Warm ups first! Run a lap around the field," she shouted as she blew her whistle. Some of the girls groaned as they began jogging. Tsuna tugged on her sides, feeling queasy as she started to jog. It was like a buzzing sensation at the back of your mind telling you that even if you can do it, you would suffer some sort of consequence.

She was one of the slowest runners and was already out of breath and she could feel the numb feeling overtaking her legs. Once she could properly stand again, she could feel some of her flames pulsing through her body in order to regenerate the dying cells from her cerebellum or the lower back part of the brain to restore her movement.

"Was it really that hard? What is this school teaching you?" As the teacher said this, Tsuna realised that the teacher was in fact a new teacher. The other students were already murmuring about how they find the teacher very annoying and too strict. The teacher was generalizing the female students not taking in that some of them were not as athletic as the others or the fact that this method of her teaching was not going to improve their physical status whatever she did.

Soccer balls were being handed out as the girls started to dribble it back and forth. There was a bit of throwing and catching and since Tsuna had not partner, she ended up joining the two girls now known as Kyoko the school idol and Hana the female devil. The passes were rather simple to catch, in which she was thankful for, and she felt like those two would be possible friends.

"Hey Hira chan, can I call you Tsuna-chan?" asked Kyoko with a smile.

"That's fine, it feels weird to be called Hira anyways," replied Tsuna, mainly because it keeps reminding me of Kawahira…

"Then I'll call you Tsuna then," said Hana.

"Sure," said Tsuna as she smiled. Both girls just stared at her for a few moments as she smiled.

"Ho~ that smile might even rival yours Kyoko," said Hana as she chuckled.

"You three over there, we're not having housewife chats. You're in a school, you have something to do, so do it!" fumed the teacher. Hana clicked her tongue as Kyoko sourly looked at her feet. Tsuna started to feel dread overtaking her. Something was going to happen, and she wouldn't like it at all. It was her 'intuition' as Kawahira had once explained to her.

…

"Some of the abilities of being an Arcobaleno, as you know, are the visions of the future, but sometimes you may experience… feelings in which will allow you to sense danger. If you do, I need you to stay calm."

…

She watched as the teacher's smirk grew wider.

"If you have enough time to stand and talk, why not you go to the boys' side?"

The trio were somewhat surprised. Although they were doing similar sports to the boys, it was inevitable that their abilities were somewhat better than theirs and the teacher was going to be worse.

As they approached the other side of the field, where the boys were, they noticed the anxious looks on the boys' faces. The male teacher on the other hand, had his hair cut short and close to his scalp, he wasn't that tall or that short, but he was a good head taller than them.

The girls could tell that the male teacher was obviously going to act indifferently to them as he did to the boys they knew they were in a bad position.

"Let's see if you can catch up with the boys. If you're slower than than them, you will have to keep joining our lessons in PE until you can, which I doubt," said the male teacher. "Oh yeah… if you boys dare to slow down for these petty girls, there will be dire consequences."

It was outrageous just for them to at least keep up with the boys. The school, in general is quite good at sports in the boys' department, but Tsuna didn't know that. Hana and Kyoko did, however. They were going to warn Tsuna, but they knew they would just add towards the troubles they had just caused.

"So what are we waiting for?" asked the teacher, "GET ON WITH IT."

The boys were already running off scared of the teacher. Tsuna's reaction was rather late, so as she started running forwards- well it's about jogging speed without the effect of the disease, she almost stumbled over. Regaining her balance, she well knew that even she would be able to beat the slowest boy, if it weren't for her depleting stamina.

One lap for the boys was twice the distance the girls had to run. As they reached half way, Tsuna could feel the tug on her movement. Knowing she wouldn't be able to make it with sheer physical strength, she took out large reserves of flames to push on. They were nearly at the end, perhaps about 50 metres. She was in front of two boys. One boy just over took her and the one behind was catching up alarmingly.

Panicking, she could tell that her senses of distance were starting to take effect. She wasn't sure whether to slow down or quicken her pace, but the boy was going to catch up. Taking one more final push, she finished the lap and the boy behind her finish a moment later.

"Just," said the man, as if he expected her not to finish. Kyoko and Hana were worried about Tsuna as she was unable to move from the place where she finished the lap. And that's when, she fell backwards... without even using her hands to protect her head or twisting around.

…

Perhaps I pushed myself too hard. Well it's inevitable that it would no longer be possible to hide the fact to myself that SCA was going to be the end of me. And those 9 years to live? I don't even know I can make it.

…

"So where has she been all this time since I entered this bloody school?" grumbled the doctor as two girls came into the infirmary with extremely anxious looks and a brunette in their arms.

…

Well. I don't know why that took so long. Keep guessing what the bold and italic words are. It's something Tsuna does and it's mentioned in the first chapter.

Thanks for reading!
