Title: Stormy Sky

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Warning: Unbeta and horrible grammar… double sighhh

"Why? Why me of all people?" Tsuna asked softly.

Takami blinked and looked at Tsuna's face.

"Um…I…I admire you!" The girl cursed in her mind. Admire? What's that Takami? Damn it! I'm not brave enough!

"Eh?" Tsuna blinked confusedly.

"It happened long time ago…I thought that you're weak and pathetic…but actually you weren't…you're far stronger than that and I admire you for your strength…"

"I'm strong?"

Takami nodded slowly. "That's why…I keep giving you those…"

"Thank you Takami…I really appreciate that…but why keep silent before this?"

"I'm not good to you Tsuna…I called you pathetic and look down to you…you may not want anything from someone like me…I guess I just scared of your rejection. So I gave to your mom instead…"

Tsuna eyed the box in his hands. "I see…Can you…Can you stop this?"

Takami's eyes widened and she could feel she want to shout at the boy but she held herself. The girl knew Tsuna had someone he liked so much and didn't want anyone else especially someone like her.

"Okay…" The sixth grader nodded. "I understand Tsuna. I hope that our path never cross each other again."

"Takami, What I mean is…"

"Don't worry Tsuna, I know you like someone and don't want any misunderstanding to come…so don't worry…it will never happen."

"Takami, what I want to say is…"

"So…good luck then and bye…Tsuna…" Takami said with a forceful grin and quickly left the brunet.

Tsuna stared dumbly at the retreating figure and looked at the box in his hand. The boy opened the lid and pulled out the small piece of paper from it.


Takami stopped at nearby river before she went down and sat the edge of it. The girl hiccupped without voice and slowly silently wiped out the tears that kept coming. Slowly the girl cried to the heart content.

After calmed down enough and taking a deep breath, Takami stared at the late evening sky.

Releasing the air in a sigh, the twin tailed girl closed her eyes.

"Ah, so I'm going to be those bubbles huh…ah well…what an end of my crush…eh?"

The girl stared at her reflection on the river surface. "Crush huh…haha…That's better explanation compared with like and love thing…it's just spur of moments I guess."

Takami laughed and scoop a handful of water before splashing on her face. The cold water did cool down her eyes from the cry and once she felt good enough, the girl sat up and smiled sadly.

"But still…it's hurts…" The sixth grader said softly and stiffened instantly when someone suddenly appeared beside her or rather suddenly face first landed on the ground. "Hey, are you okay mister?" Takami asked warily the blond haired guy who was still face on the ground.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine…a little bit hurt but I'm okay…thanks for asking." The young man slowly sat up from his position and rubbed his sore face. "This always happened when my subordinates are not around…haha."

Subordinates?

The twin tailed girl blinked at the weird explanation. "If you say so…" Takami said and bowed slightly before she walked away.

"Wait!"

"Yes?"

"I'm just saying this once; don't give up in anything you do."

"Eh?"

"You just look so sad earlier and this thought came by…so don't give up?"

Takami blinked confusedly. "Do I look like one?"

"Yeah…" The blond man already stood up and smiled. "It doesn't suit you. I just know it."

"Oh…really?"

"Really."

"Do we know each other?"

"Nope, but you know my brother and my name is Dino."

Takami shrugged. Did she know anyone with blond hair around?

"Don't worry much about it."

"Okay, but thank you Dino-san…I'll keep your advice in my mind." The twin tailed girl smiled and felt a little bit happier.

I guess…Nah…


Miyuki kept her books inside her bag calmly and checked on everything before she went to her best friend's desk. Takami already stood up from her seat and smiled at the raven haired girl.

"So, where are we going today Miyuki?" Takami asked once her best friend reached her desk.

"Ah…I have this piano lesson after this…so we can just walk back together?" Miyuki sighed and instantly back to her self. "And I have this story wanna tell to you."

"Is it interesting?"

"It is since we are going to Namimori middle soon."

"Ah…okay…"

Both girls were walking slowly once they stepped out from the school ground since they were no longer in a crowd. They walked side by side and stopped at certain hot bun stand bought the food.

Miyuki stared at the paper bag in Takami's arm with disbelieve.

"I'm in shock! How can you buy like…six of those big fluffy red bean buns? And your home has two people only!"

"One for mom and the rest is mine!" The twin tailed girl grinned before pulling out one hot bun from the bag. "Wow how fluffy and its warm!"

The raven haired girl shook her head slowly and took a bite of her own bun.

"So what's the thing you want to tell me about?" Takami said while munching her food.

Miyuki slapped the brown haired girl's shoulder. "Don't talk with food inside your mouth!"

"Sorry!"

"Huh…" Miyuki sighed and looked at her friend. "Okay, this is not really new news. Do you remember about certain senior with his weird twin sticks?"

Takami sweat dropped at the description of certain boy that most of students feared until the boy went to middle school. The boy they scared of was known as Namimori demon.

"You mean Hibari Kyoya and those weird sticks actually a pair of tonfas."

"Ahaha…that…yeah…"

"So what's about him?"

"Ah…apparently he is controlling the middle school via disciplinary committee."

"Hm…"

"And that include the teachers too."

"What?"

"Scary right?"

"I think he should be not around once we enter the school…how many years gap we have between him?"

Miyuki shrugged. "I'm not sure…three?"

"Haa…he will be in high school…so there is nothing to worry." Takami said and took out another bun from the paper bag. "We aren't going to see him around."

"Yeah you're right Taka-chan, now I feel relieved." The raven haired girl said as she place a palm over her chest.

Oh how so wrong both girls were.


Takami was doing her errand at the shopping district when she saw one of her classmate get hovered by a group of boys nearby. The sixth grader cursed under her breath and placed down the fruit she took interest before and walking to the group. From their uniform, the twin tailed girl concluded they were from middle school since they have this immature atmosphere around them.

"Hey, stop bullying my friend," Takami said firmly. "You guys really have no shame; bullying a girl no less."

"Takami!" The girl said happily. "Help me!"

The three boys turned around and one of them stiffened. "Izumi Takami…"

"Hah you're the one that I would never forget…what's your name again? The brown haired girl glared at the large boy who knew who she was making the said boy quickly looked away.

"Who is she?" One of the three raised his eyebrows. He had spiky black hair.

"Hah, elementary kids should stay back!" Another one said cheekily.

"I don't want to mess with her guys…let's just go from here." The large one of the three said and sighed.

"Why?"

"She looks weak and girls are weak! Haha! Ugh!" The spiky black hair boy now was on the ground clutching his stomach.

"W-What you have done brat?"

"Just help him with his digestive system?" Takami clenched her fist and eyed her next victim.

The large boy already retreated himself from the scene by standing far enough from his friends. "I told you guys already…" He sighed.

"What are you herbivores flocking here?"

Everyone stiffened at the monotone voice and turned around to it. Takami simply blinked and felt amazed with the sudden meeting.

She just had the talk about certain Hibari Kyoya with Miyuki weeks ago!

And now they faced each other.

"Wow what a coincidence." Takami muttered softly.

"Hn?" Hibari snorted and glared at the group of boys.

All three boys quickly ran away leaving two sixth graders with Hibari.

"T-Thank you," The meek girl who had just get bullied bowed at both Takami and the perfect before leaving the place.

The twin tailed girl shrugged and stared at the direction where her classmate gone to.

"Hn, you're interesting."

"Eh, excuse me?" Takami blinked and looked at Hibari's back since the raven haired senior already walked away.

The sixth grader snorted and went back to the fruit stand she stood earlier.


Miyuki already left her place when Takami heard the house bell rang. The girl yawned and rolled to her side on her bed lazily as she heard her mother opened the door.

Laugh could be heard downstairs and the sixth grader concluded that might be her mom's gossip friends.

"Good thing, I'm sleepy and too lazy to move right now," Takami said softly and closed her eyes.

Few minutes later, there were knocks on her door making the girl opened her eyes and groaned loudly. "Who?"

"It-it's me…"

"Hah?"

"M-Me…"

"Can't hear you!" Takami yelled, sat up on her bed and glared at her door, annoyed with the guests. "It's better not those kids again. I'm so not in mood to play with them."

The girl stretched her back and arms before went to her door and opened it rather harshly.

"What do you need…Tsu-Tsu-Tsuna?" The sixth grader's eyes widened as she stared at the brunet in surprised. "W-What are you doing here?"

"H-Hi Takami?" The brunet greeted with a small awkward smile.

"Play nicely both of you. I don't mind getting a grandchild so soon!" Nana shouted from the living room making both her son and Takami stiffened instantly.

"M-Mom!" Tsuna shouted embarrassedly.

"Nana-san!" Takami gasped and blushed heavily.

"Wow Nana, very direct approach!" Ayaka slapped her friend's back and both of mothers laughed making their children sighed and couldn't look into each other faces anytime soon.


"I'm sorry for my mom's behavior." Tsuna said with his head down.

Takami sat down in front of the brunet once she placed two tea cups on the small table in front of them.

"Don't worry; I know she is just kidding…" The sixth grader said and rolled her eyes to her left side.

But still…that was very awkward and embarrassing.

"How are you?"

Takami blinked and looked at Tsuna who asked the question. She shrugged slightly.

"I'm fine…what about you?"

"Other than get torturing from my tutor, I'm good too…"

"T-Torturing?"

"Whoops…no, no! I mean tutoring! Yeah tutoring!" Tsuna laughed at the end and stopped once he knew it sounded very fake one.

Takami eyed Tsuna warily. "Uh, okay very convincing…so what brings you to here? I remember that I said…"

"Here!" Tsuna said loudly stopping Takami from finishing her sentence while gave a rather large box to the girl's direction.

The twin tailed girl looked at the white box and caught a chocolaty smell from it. "For me?"

"Yes, please take it! It's the white day and…and…this is for all those chocolates you send years before!"

"Thank you?" Takami took the box and looked at it interestingly before she glanced at Tsuna who was also staring hardly at the box. "Can I open it?"

"S-Sure! Go on Takami…it's yours."

Takami gasped once she found there was a whole chocolate cake in the box and grinned happily before looked at Tsuna for confirmation. "This is mine? The whole cake?"

"Y-Yeah, all yours Takami."

"Really?" Takami eyed the cake and noticed the finishing and decoration around the cake was rather sloppy and a little bit messy too. "Hm?" The girl frowned a bit giving an alarm to the brunet.

"What's the matter? You don't like it?" Tsuna asked.

"Nothing…I just wondering…did you make this?"

"Y-Yes, I did it after few times failing with it." The brunet nodded and stared at the cake with light blush on his cheeks. "When I knew that all of your chocolates were homemade, then I asked my mom to teach me something…and I know you like sweet things…from that bakery and popsicles before…and…its hard to do it without anyone knowing and…"

"Okay, okay I get it. So stop explaining so that I can eat this." Takami grinned while eyeing the cake again while internally the girl was squealing like crazy.

He made this by himself! I'm flattered!

The cake was not a total fail and not a perfect either. While the taste was good enough but there were still burned part. Not that it affected the taste much since it was light burn. The twin tailed girl gave out some pointers to the brunet as future reference and Tsuna was gladly took the suggestion.

Takami enjoyed almost half of the cake while playing the game with Tsuna since they really didn't know what else they can talk about and to avoid the awkward air between them, the girl invited the boy to play her video game.

"You're so good in this Tsuna," Takami said as she lost another round to the boy.

"Really? But you did win few times." Tsuna commented and took a sip of now cold tea.

"Nah…compared with your points I just barely won it."

"It's a good game anyway but I'm really surprised. I never thought you have street fighter as one of your collection."

Takami chuckled softly. "Even girls enjoyed this kind of game you know…"

Tsuna joined the laugh and stopped after a while. He looked at the clock on the wall and shrugged.

"It's this late already…" The boy muttered softly.

The sixth grader already stood up and checked on the time. Her eyes widened at it and looked at Tsuna. "Want to go down and checks on our moms?"

"Yeah, sure."

Takami groaned softly as she noted that both her mother and Tsuna's mother were not around the house. It seemed that both women went out and left them for a while already.

"T-They set us!"

"Uh…" Tsuna sweat dropped. "I'm sorry for my mother's behavior once again."

"No worries, it's both of their faults this time…" Takami sighed. "I'm really sorry…"

"Well, I think I should go home now."

"Oh, okay. Thanks for the cake. I like it very much," The girl said with warm smile.

Tsuna smiled back and chuckled softly. "I'm glad…"

"Bye then Tsuna…" Takami said and looked sadly at the brunet who was already wearing his sneakers.

"Takami."

"Yes?"

"During that day…when I said can you stop this, what I mean is…"

"Don't worry Tsuna, I'm keeping my words okay…so rest assured…"

"No!"

"What?"

"Listen Takami and don't cut me this time," Tsuna said firmly and looked at the sixth grader with firm gaze. "What I mean that time is, stop giving the chocolate to my mom. Just…just give it directly to me next time so that I know that it's you and not some other random person. So we are clear now Takami. Understood?"

Startled at Tsuna's sudden maturity, Takami nodded slowly. "Oh…oh…okay Tsuna…"

"Good, so t-there is no need for you to suddenly go missing…"

"Uh I'm not…really…"

"B-But I didn't see you around these days…"

"Oh…" Takami stared at the wooden floor and shrugged. "Sorry…I didn't mean it but…"

"Enough about that and I really like your chocolates."

"Oh…Thank you?" Takami blinked and flinched as she felt the brunet grabbed her hand and placed a box on her palm. "T-This?"

Tsuna stared at the box and frowned a bit. "It's heavy than before…" He said under his breath before looked at the twin tailed girl. "This one is for this year valentine chocolate. Thank you, Takami." The brunet said and smiled warmly.

Takami felt she was drowned in Tsuna's warm smiled before smiling back to the brunet. "Oh, thanks too and you're welcome Tsuna."

"So…see you around?"

"Yeah…see you around."

Takami stared at the closed door now that the young Sawada had left her house.

The girl smiled and held the box near her chest.


Tsuna stopped from his run and released loud sigh. The brunet then pulled out a piece of small paper from his trouser's pocket.

Never give up and thank you.

The first year of middle school smiled warmly at the note.

Meanwhile Takami was staring at the box content with disbelieve.

"What the heck? He gives me this?" The girl scoffed as she pulled out a pair of bras knuckles from the box.

Unknown to both girl and boy, there was someone else who watched the whole event other than their mothers.

Pulling his fedora down, Reborn smirked as he let Leon revert back to its real form.

"That will fit her well."


Miyuki and Takami were having their crepes when the raven haired girl checked at her watch and bid goodbye to the latter.

The twin tailed girl waved her hand to the leaving Miyuki before she went to the nearby convenient shop and stopped in front of the magazine rack outside the shop.

"What's new for this month?" The girl muttered softly and picked up a magazine but stopped her action since there was a hand on the same material she held on.

Looking at her side, Takami met with silver haired young teenager. The said boy glared at her and frowned.

"Hey you! You're the brat that shook Tenth like crazy before!" Gokudera shouted.

"Excuse me? Do I know you? Have we met and who is this Tenth?" Takami narrowed her gaze.

"Yes we did girl!" The dynamite user groaned. "Tenth is…is…Tsu-Tsu-Tsu…" Gokudera stuttered at certain name.

"Really?" The twin tailed girl frowned. "I don't remember…and Tsu-Tsu-Tsu? What is that?"

"Argh! Tenth is Tenth!" The silver haired boy groaned loudly.

"Huh?"

"Namimori Middle class 1-A, roll sheet number 8, Gokudera Hayato." A monotone voice suddenly could be heard nearby making both Takami and Gokudera turned to its direction. They met with a beanie wearing boy with Kokuyo Middle uniform.

"Who the hell are you?" Gokudera asked carefully.

"Kokuyo Middle first year, Kakimoto Chikusa." The beanie wearing boy introduced himself monotonously. "I come to break you."

"Tch! Why I always get this unwanted attention from other school kids." The silver haired boy groaned. "Fine, come and let's settle this fast."

Two men came nearby as they heard the commotion.

"Hey, there's a fight!"

"This is not a show." Chikusa said as he threw something to those two.

Takami's eyes widened as she noticed the large needles planted on both men's shoulder before they fell down on the ground unconscious.

"Hey, what did you do?" The dynamites user asked in surprised.

"There's no need spectator here. I'll do the same with that girl."

"Stay at my back, that guy seems dangerous." The silver haired boy muttered at Takami.

"Y-Yeah…I can see that!" Takami eyed the collapsed men and quickly went behind Gokudera. "Who is that guy?"

"I'm not sure about his identity, but one for sure is he is very skilled. A hitman?" The dynamite user paused. "Why did I tell you that?"

"You are just answering my question?"

"Tch! Jump!"

"Hah!" The twin tailed girl landed on the ground few steps back with Gokudera in front of her shielding the girl.

Gokudera smirked at Takami. "Good reflexes."

"My life is on line here! I don't want to get puncture by those scary looking needles!" Takami shouted.

"Ah, yes that's right…I bet it has poison too."

"What? That's so freaking scary and nonsense!"

"Not really in mafia world."

"Say what?"

"Dodge! I'm going to attack now! Cover yourself!"

"Y-Yes!" Takami quickly took few steps back and used her bag as cover. The girl eyed the weapon in Gokudera's hands and her eyes widened. "Dynamites!"

The twin tailed girl gulped her saliva each time she saw the attack came from either side. Apparently those two both were skilled in fighting and Takami felt awed at Gokudera's tactic even though it hurt him in the process.

"Go Gokudera-san! Finish him!" Takami cheered behind a small shop name post.

"Tsk! I know! I know! Damn now I talk like that baseball idiot!" The silver haired boy pulled out handful of his weapon and threw it to the now injured Kokuyo student.

Large explosion could be heard and that ensured Gokudera's win. Takami quickly went out from her hiding place and stopped beside the silver haired boy who sat on the ground.

"That's so cool, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine…that will stop him for now."

"Gokudera-kun! Takami?!"

Both Gokudera and Takami looked at the newcomer and instantly the silver haired boy explained everything to the brunet in very happy plus proud voice.

"T-Then where is he?" Tsuna asked Gokudera and looked at the girl. "Are you okay Takami?"

The sixth grader nodded. "I'm fine; Gokudera-san here is so cool. He throws those dynamites like an expert."

"Uh…yeah…" Tsuna sweat dropped. Why you're fine with that Takami?!

"Heh, thanks brat." Gokudera smirked. "But you're good too…"

"Hm…you save my job…" A monotonous voice suddenly joined them.

"Hiee! He looks scary!" Tsuna shrieked.

"He stands up!" Takami gasped.

"Tch! It's still not enough!" Gokudera gritted his teeth.

With fast movement, Chikusa threw out his yoyo with needles towards Tsuna. The brunet closed his eyes and opened once he heard Takami shouted the silver haired boy's name in distress.

"Gokudera-san!"

"Tenth…brat…please run." Gokudera said tiredly before he collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna quickly crouched beside his fallen friend. "Gokudera-kun, are you okay?"

"I don't think so…he is bleeding!" Takami panicked once she saw the blood seeped out from where the dynamite user got hit with those needles. "Damn! He got hit by those needles!"

The bloodied Chikusa took few steps towards the group. "I'm going to break you and take you with me."

"W-We have to run!" Tsuna stood up pulling the sixth grader with him but he was shaking.

Takami was also shaking badly. The scary guy slowly walked to them but both Tsuna and the twin tailed girl couldn't move their legs. Gokudera was no longer conscious after taking direct hit of the sudden attack to the brunet.

"Let's get this over with…" Chikusa threw out his yoyo once again.

Takami closed her eyes while Tsuna shrieked loudly beside her.

I don't want to die yet!

"Hieee…Ugh!"

"Ouch!"

Takami slowly opened her eyes and saw the ground. The girl slowly sat up and looked at their saver.

"Yamamoto!" Takami and Tsuna shouted the name in relieve.

"Haha, we slide over home plate, safe and sound." Yamamoto grinned at both Tsuna and Takami before focusing at unconscious Gokudera and bloodied Chikusa. Somehow the scene had made the raven became serious so suddenly.

The sixth grader was stunned once she saw the sword in Yamamoto's hands. Tsuna gasped about the raven boy brought that thing to school while Takami shocked at the whole event.

Somehow the Kokuyo student retreated himself and now they were inside of Namimori middle infirmary.

Takami stared at her bandage hand. Apparently she received a deep scratch from the ground when Yamamoto helped them earlier. The girl scanned the room and noticed Bianchi who was Gokudera's sister now having a so not friendly talk with Yamamoto while on the bed was unconscious silver haired boy.

"I won't worry about him…" A male voice said to the girl. "Hayato is a strong kid despite his appearance."

"Oh…"

"So what's your name little one? I'm Dr Shamal…working as nurse here." The man said and sighed dramatically at the end of his introduction.

"Izumi Takami…"

"Hm…not so ladylike kind of name but you looks cute anyway! Ack!"

Takami blinked at the sudden show in front of her eyes. Dr Shamal got smacked face first with a basket of weird purplish fruits and fell on the floor twitched while Yamamoto laughed behind them.

"Pervert," Bianchi said and looked at the twin tailed girl. "You should go home and rest girl. Everything is going to be fine now."

The sixth grader nodded. "Okay…"

"Good," The light magenta haired girl smiled.


"Thanks for saving us earlier," Takami said and smiled at the baseball ace.

Yamamoto laughed. "Maa, it's nothing." The tall boy then looked at the sixth grader's bandaged hand. "How's your hand? I'm sorry if I was too harsh…"

Takami raised her hand and shook her head lightly. "It's fine…after all you saved our lives."

"Good to hear that."

"Yeah, it's just a scratch, nothing major."

Yamamoto decided to walk with Takami when they left the middle school ground. The girl didn't bother much since she could say thanks personally to her savior.

"So, you're going to enter this school soon right, Izumi?"

"Takami is just fine…um yeah…"

"Takami then…haha. So have you decided what club you're going to join?"

The twin tailed girl shook her head. "Nope, I don't have anything in my mind so far…"

"Ah…"

"But reading club should be fun I guess…"

"You like reading?"

"Yeah…I like it very much."

"Have you ever considered joining any sports club?"

Takami shrugged. "I don't really think any…"

"But you're so good when punching people around. Did you train yourself or something?"

The sixth grader chuckled. "You're the first one who asks about that." Takami paused and stared at the road ahead solemnly. "Well, yeah…kind of… my late father did teach me few moves as self protection and the rest I trained myself so that I can protect mom…just like dad…"

"Oh…" Yamamoto nodded and he stopped once he noticed there was someone in front of them. "Hey kid!"

"Ciaossu!"

"Eh?" Takami looked at the small figure who had just greeted them. "Who are you?"

"I'm Reborn, Tsuna's home tutor." Reborn introduced himself and smirked at both figures in front of him. "Do you want to join Tsuna's family Izumi Takami?"

"Tsuna's family?" Takami blushed and looked away. "W-What the heck are you suggesting here kid?"

"Haha, what a funny reaction Takami! He doesn't mean it like that."

"Oh…oh…okay?" The girl laughed awkwardly and looked at Reborn. "What kind of family then?"

"Mafia family. Tsuna is the boss."

Takami narrowed her gaze. The girl instantly remembered what Gokudera said when they avoided Chikusa's attack before.

"Not really in mafia world."

The sixth grader shrugged.

I hope that Gokudera-san is okay…if those needles really have poison…damn I hate that guy already…only if I can punch his face once…

"It's fun Takami. Join us, you're strong too!" Yamamoto convinced.

"And you want to have a revenge on that guy who made Gokudera injured too am I right?"

"H-How did you know that?" Takami stiffened.

"I can read people's mind." Reborn smirked.

"What? That's scary!" The girl gasped and glared at Yamamoto who was laughing. "Stop laughing, it's not funny!"

"Sorry, sorry!"

"So what's your decision Izumi Takami?" Reborn asked.

The girl looked at very casual Yamamoto and then focused at the midget home tutor before nodding slowly.

"I'll join you guys…since Gokudera-san helped me earlier…and we just barely know each other too."

Yamamoto laughed. "I just knew it, he really does have good heart, Gokudera is."

Reborn smirked.

For once someone joined the family not because of Tsuna.

It seemed that the same element really attract each their own.

"So, here is your first task."


Dr Shamal surprisingly was polite with girls even though he did have his perverted side. The man accepted the girl presence with a grin and eyed the metal rings in Takami's hand.

"So your punch is the best hit you have."

"I guess…"

"Did you train before?"

"Not properly after my dad death…do punching pillows and other people counts? And I also do the basic exercise and moves at home, everyday." The girl explained.

Shamal laughed and eyed the sixth grader critically.

"You're a reckless girl…but that will do for beginning."

Takami grinned.

And Shamal gestured the girl to follow him.


Tsuna eyes widened when he saw Kyoko and Hana were being protected by Dr Shamal and Takami. Mostly he was surprised at the twin tailed girl presence rather than Shamal. Gokudera also followed Tsuna's reaction with his mouth opened slightly while Yamamoto simply laughed.

"Haha…She is strong right?"

"Hm, very good for a young girl." Bianchi nodded.

Reborn smirked under his fedora.

Takami stood in ready stance in front of Kyoko and Hana after punched away one of the bloody twins while Shamal consoled both girls and convinced them to go home as soon as possible.

Once Kyoko and Hana left the scene, Shamal turned to his new disciple.

"Avoid his attack and try for an uppercut Takami." He instructed and threw out a capsule.

"Okay…" The twin tailed girl said calmly and dashed forward to the serial killer.

Tsuna already pulled his hair.

"Hiee! Takami that's reckless!" The brunet shouted.

Barely managed to avoid the attack from the bloody twins, Takami quickly jumped behind the man and instantly turning around before performing an uppercut moves as the serial killer also did turned around at the same time. The attack hit directly below of bloody twin's chin.

Shamal smirked as he stared at the now collapsed man.

"You did something right?" Takami asked. "I didn't punch him that hard…"

"Ah…very sharp…yes I give him one of the diseases that will hinder his movements."

"Oh…that's neat." The sixth grader looked at the struggling serial killer. "Ah…he is standing now, what should I do now Dr Shamal?"

"Just watch Takami-chan…he is now being infected with the vibration syndrome. He shouldn't move himself or else his body will break." Once Shamal done with his explanation, the serial killer gasped and instantly fell on the ground.

Takami eyed the now injured man lying helplessly on the cemented walkway. The girl then looked at the man who stood calmly nearby.

"Dr Shamal?"

The man in lab coat shrugged and smiled. "His instinct is really accurate."

Meanwhile, Tsuna shuddered and sat down on the ground tiredly.

"I think I just lost half of my life…" The brunet panted.

"Me too Tenth…me too…" Gokudera crouched beside his boss and sighed.

Yamamoto laughed while Bianchi smiled proudly as they watched the screen.


Takami shrugged while ignoring the loud cheer from her best friend. Miyuki was waving her arms towards the field where Namimori middle baseball club was in the middle of game for the fall tournament.

The twin tailed girl mind wandered over the few days after the fight with mafia criminal where Tsuna came to met her after school and practically groaned over the news.

"I can't believe that! Now you're training under Dr Shamal? He is a pervert!"

"Uh…not really when you are in business with him…he is a very serious instructor." Takami explained and pulled her sleeve. "See, I got this scratch when I nearly fell down from a tree and he instructed me to do it again."

"I bet he just want to see your underwear that's why he made you to climb a tree."

"What? I know he is a pervert but now you're super pervert Tsuna!" The twin tailed girl shouted. "I'm wearing a trouser that time! What kind of girl going to do physical activity while wearing skirt?"

"Uh…you? You punch boys while wearing ones." The brunet suggested and nodded at his explanation.

"Hah? Now you piss me off!" Takami pulled out her bras knuckles and wore it.

"Hiee! Where did you get that?"

"You're the one who give me this!"

"What no way!" Tsuna's eyes widened at the sudden realization. "Reborn!"

"Don't blame on others!" Takami shouted and raised her fist.

Takami face palmed at the memories. Apparently she did punch the said brunet few times and stopped once Yamamoto and Gokudera came and get hold both of them. Surprisingly during their fight, Tsuna did manage to avoid her attack few times and blocked it too.

It seemed that those mafia business and family thing was a real deal.

And one of the girls she protected before with Dr Shamal was Tsuna's crush.

That knowledge itself simply increased the uneasiness in Takami's heart.

After a while she managed to ignore it and simply followed her best friend request to watch a baseball game.

The twin tailed girl focused at the field once the loud cheer filled the field. Apparently Namimori middle was leading the game.

Miyuki already sat down and took a few gulp of her water.

"Done cheering?" Takami asked casually.

"Heheh…you know what Taka-chan…I have this very wonderful idea when we are going to enter middle school." The raven haired girl grinned.

"Oh, do tell me what your very brilliant idea is…"

"Well…we're going to join the baseball club!"

"What?!" Takami shouted and instantly stood up from hear seat.

Her loud voice had made almost everyone nearby focusing at their direction.

"Takami?" A very familiar voice called her name softly.

Slowly turning around, the twin tailed girl faced with Tsuna and his friends including his crush who was sitting beside him and was smiling happily. The group was seated far below than the sixth graders who took higher one.

Lowering her gaze, Takami quickly sat down and sighed. Out of the places why did they meet here?

"Taka-chan?" Miyuki asked softly. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine…just…what kind of wonderful idea is that?" Takami quickly focused at the issue. "I'm going to join reading club if you're totally serious with that suggestion."

"Aw…Taka-chan…don't leave me alone…" Miyuki pouted.

"Hey watch out!" A shout was heard so suddenly making both Takami and Miyuki focused at the game but somehow the twin tailed girl suddenly caught a fast ball that went to her direction.

The crowd was focusing at her once again and cheered at her catch.

Takami stared at the ball in her hand with disbelieve and when she raised her head, her gaze clashed with certain brunet who was smiling at her direction. She quickly looked away and shrugged.

Miyuki laughed at the shy girl and casually hugged Takami's right arm.

"That's the hint; you're going to join the baseball club with me!"

"Hell no!"

Apparently the ball was from certain raven who stood at pitcher stand.

But Takami didn't bother with that and kept debating with Miyuki about their middle school life.

"At least she didn't have that look on her face again." Yamamoto said and grinned at his teammates before preparing for another throw.
