*Disclaimer*

I do not own KHR. All characters here belongs to Akira Amano except the OCs. With that out of the way, hit time.

Yakubo tapped his leg impatiently at the front gate of the Namimori Middle, waiting for her. All the students of the school quickly walked away from the gate as they were scared of him, given his reputation for being a delinquent. He looked back to the crowd of students, unable to see her'.

He huffed and just about to walk back home until he heard a familiar yelp. He turned to the voice and found her on the floor, flat on her face. As he began to walk towards them, Tsuna's friends picked her up and checked for any injuries. When they noticed him, Tsuna froze while Hana raised her hand protectively.

"What do you want this time? Not only you 'asked' Tsuna here to cook for you, you want more from her now?" Hana said aggressively.

"So you don't want this?" Yakubo replied sarcastically while taking out Tsuna's empty bento box. Hana immediately blushed, embarrassed by her rash aggression. Tsuna hesitantly took the box from his hand, fearing he might retrace the box to him.

"Why is the Hound giving Dame-Tsuna that bento box?"

"You think he might have made her his... lackey?"

"Wait, Kyoko-chan is with Sawada too!"

Various whispers could be heard and he saw Tsuna's already fearful face became worst. He grabbed her wrist and began making his way out of the school. Tsuna, surprised by his action, stumbled and tried to keep up with his speed. Her friends followed them, Kyoko being oblivious to what happened around her while Hana glared at the gossipers.

When they walked far enough from the school, Yakubo stopped his track and let go Tsuna's wrist.

"I guess that's far enough," he muttered. He turned to her, finding her panting rather heavily while the others were breathing normally. He frowned at that but shrugs it off mentally. "...You owe me for that."

"Getting you out of the sticky situation I mean," he said as soon as Tsuna opened her mouth.

"Okay, I'm glad that you get us out of 'that' but you want to count that as a favor? You're the worst."

"She's grateful for it."

"She's not your lackey!"

"Um..."

Both of them turned to the timid girl, who flinched when they turn their head to her. She fiddled her finger nervously while trying to make herself as small as possible. They stay silent for a moment before Yakubo merely sighed and tried to turn away.

"W-what do you want this time?" She said.

Her friends were shocked by her willingness. Even though she was bullied she has the heart that will not turn away from someone's request. Afterall, what's wrong with helping whenever possible?

"Same thing. Just don't give anything too salty, something balance is good."

Tsuna merely nodded and watched him walk away from them. Once he left their sight, they began to make their way back home.

They said nothing, for the most part, trying to wrap around their head about what happened at the school.

They found out that Tsuna had somewhat owed the Hound a favor, so she cooked lunch for him as per request. The fact that he only asked her to make food for him was rather mind-boggling. That and the fact he did not outright harass Tsuna at all, despite everyone calling him a delinquent.

Could it be a false rumor? Hana doubt that was the case since she did hear from the local cops about 'the Hound beat a bunch of yakuza and force them to disband'. All she can assume now was that he had ulterior motives.

Yakubo fiddled his apartment keys and unlocked his door. As soon as he got into the house he almost closed the front door, only to turned around and glared at the living room.

"Get. Out. Now."

"Oh please, is that how you treat you relative Yak-kun?" A man, about his 20s, walked out of his hiding spot with a warm smile. He wore a purple yukata and a pair of glasses. The man has a pure black hair, silver eyes and a horizontal scar on his cheek.

"I don't care. Out now." Yakubo began to became irritated and glared even more intensely at the man.

"Okay, okay. Fine, I'll get out. Just let me say something please." The man raised his arms in a surrender pose. It's probably best not to anger the black and white haired teenager anyway. Pity that he still held such aggression towards everyone in the family.

"Speak."

This time, the man changed his expression to a serious one and pushed his glasses. "Ren's (蓮) missing."

"WHAT?!"

A/N:

Oh, finally I managed to finish this chapter. Sorry for your wait but right after I finished my finals, I got a job so I got even busier than before. Oh well, it will be worth it once I get into college and bought Blazblue Cross-Tag Battle. Anyways I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and Happy 2018 guys!

Review answer section:

Shiho-Akemi: Not just any bloodhound my friend, a bloodhound that has a heart of gold. As for the other puppy... why would he be kicked? In fact, he will need to get himself become a strong guard dog to keep the right-hand man position.

Bell2629: MUHAHAHHAHAHA! I'VE CAUSE HYPE ANXIETY! A-anyway, the design was based on the hair color of Black Jack but mostly inspired by Shirou Emiya from Fate. I've always liked him as he somewhat showed me it's not wrong to pursue a childish dream, cause they are your ideal after all.

RoastedPorkchop: Okay, let me get this out of the way first. I mean no offense but DUDE, your username makes me want to eat pork chops even though I'm on diet! Okay, calm down Helli... calm down. I'm glad you find this an interesting fanfic, thank you. Although I have a question, is there no Fem!Tsuna x OC fanfic out there? I mean I more or less expect there should be a few. Oh well, keep looking forward to more chapters cause Reborn will have one hell of a tutor session.

Tanukichibi: Here's the chapter. Thanks for the support for my finals.

Wolfsrainrock3: Here you go.

EkiNana: No promises about my update frequency but I promise you it will not be abandoned. I've set a ground rule that I MUST keep going until the end, regardless of how unmotivated I am. Although I have the same question to you as I asked RoastedPorkchop, is there any Fem!Tsuna x OC fanfic out there cause I can't find one.

All done. Once again, I wish you guys Happy 2018 and have a good night. Ciao.
