A Sort of Study Session
It was actually a few days later when I talked with Tsuna again. I was sitting in class bored as the teacher called name after name telling everyone how they did on the math test we had a few days ago. It was no surprise that Gokudera had received one hundred points. I myself had managed to get a ninety-five, though math was not my favorite subject. Then Tsuna and Yamamoto were called.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, Yamamoto Takeshi," the teacher called out their names. I found myself listening to what he had to say.
"H-hai," Tsuna said standing. Yamamoto followed his lead, and once both were standing the teacher continued.
"Twenty points. You two will be getting extra homework for failing the test," my eyes went wide. I could not understand how someone could have such a bad score. Well, Yamamoto I could understand since he had baseball on his mind along with his schoolwork, but Tsuna; what could possibly result in him having that bad of a score. It was easy to see that no one was surprised, but Kyoko didn't seem to mind. Of course Tsuna still looked completely embarrassed by his terrible score.

Third Person POV
Tsuna was walking home worrying about how to get all the questions right. Along the way a hand was placed on his shoulder causing him to stop and turn to and find Yamamoto behind him.
"Yo! Do you want to do the homework together?" the baseball star asked, "It'll be a lot faster with two people than with one."
"Yeah! Sure," Tsuna replied grateful that he wouldn't have to suffer alone.
"Then do it at our house," a young voice said. The source of which was hard to find until the person spoke up again.
"I'm here," it said which had Tsuna looking at a small bush that was situated outside of someone's house. Suddenly the bush pulled itself out of the dirt and spun around to reveal a face hidden among the leaves. Needless to say the brunette freaked out, but Yamamoto didn't seem fazed in the least. Instead he just ended up greeting the young child that had since taken off the costume he'd been wearing.
"Ciaossu," the kid said lifting a hand as he returned the greeting.
"Why are you choosing where we should do our homework?" Tsuna asked angrily, not that it fazed the suit wearing child. Instead he simply turned towards the brunette before replying.
"That's because I'm your tutor," Reborn said simply. Yamamoto seemed confused, which had Tsuna trying to stop Reborn from making things worse. But much to Tsuna chagrin Yamamoto began laughing.
"Tsuna, you have a great tutor," Yamamoto said as he laughed. Tsuna gave his friend a look that said he couldn't believe his friend still thought it was a joke. Reborn then took the time to speak up again.
"By the way, I called Gokudera, and Yuzuki too," he said.
"What?" Tsuna questioned, "Well, I guess it will help. Gokudera-kun and Hisoka-san are really smart," then he seemed to realize what he'd just said, "Eh? You called Hisoka-san over too?!"

Yuzuki's POV
I looked at the little slip of paper again. On it was written an address and a request that I head to the place specified to help Tsuna with his work. It was unsigned, and as such had peaked my interest. I'd stopped by my own house in order to drop off my things, and let my parents know I was going to help out a friend. Now I was on the street checking every so often to see if Tsuna's house was nearby. As I rounded the corner I found Yamamoto and Gokudera standing outside of a nice two-story building, and seeing them assured me that this was probably Tsuna's place. I picked up my pace a little until I came to stand next to them.
"Yo," I was greeted by Yamamoto.
"Tch, why are you here?" I glared over at the silver haired Italian.
"For your information someone put this in my bag," I told him waving the paper around, "It's not signed so I thought I'd come and figure out who gave it to me."
Gokudera held my glare for a moment before looking away angrily. Yamamoto just laughed it off and rang the bell. It wasn't long before we were greeted by a woman who I assumed was Tsuna's mom.
"My! Come in," she said from the doorway.
"S-Sorry to intrude," Gokudera stuttered. I made a mental note to tease him about it later; as payback for being rude.
"Konnichiwa," Yamamoto's reply was much simpler. I bowed from my spot in between them.
"Thank you for having us," I straightened and headed up the walkway with the two boys. The three of us headed inside and after kicking off our shoes climbed the staircase. We stopped outside Tsuna's room.
"Welcome," Tsuna said. I raised my hand in greeting though I didn't know if Tsuna was able to see me as Yamamoto moved in front of me.
"Hmm? So this is Tsuna's room," the baseball star said. I peered around the tall boy and found that it was pretty much the average room. The only thing I really found strange was the toddler sitting in a small leather chair. But it wasn't because the kid was sitting in a small leather recliner that made it weird, rather it was the fact that the kid was wearing a suit and a matching fedora. There was also a chameleon sitting on the brim of the fedora. But the strangeness didn't stop there because the kid spoke, and he sounded like an adult with the way he worded his sentence.
"Well, make yourselves at home," the boy said. I blinked and once the shock wore off I realized I was still standing in the doorway.
"Ah, Hisoka-san," Tsuna's voice drew my attention to him. I smiled.
"Yo, Tsuna-san… uh you wouldn't happen to know anything about this," I flashed the note at him, "would you?"
"That was from me," I looked at the child sitting behind Tsuna, "Ciaossu, I'm Tsuna's home tutor Reborn."
"R-Reborn, you can't just go saying things like that!" Tsuna scolded the young boy, "Ah, don't mind him Hisoka-san."
"Um… is he your little brother or something?" I asked. My classmate ended up chuckling nervously. But I decided to ignore it for now in favor of helping the brunette with his work.
~A Little Later~
"This is helping a lot," Tsuna said, "You're really smart Gokudera-kun."
We'd been working for a little while, and I was impressed with Gokudera's knowledge. I knew the guy was smart, but to see him in action was still something that put me in awe (even if his explanations were impossible to understand).
"Surprisingly," my dark haired classmate said. I had to snicker at Yamamoto's comment.
"Shut up!" Gokudera shot back but what he said after had me really confused, "If it is to train the Tenth to become a great Mafia boss, Gokudera Hayato with do anything!"
"You're too loud!" Tsuna scolded.
"Mafia?" I looked at my brunette classmate, "Nah, there's no he'd be involved in something like that; he's just not the type."
"Did you say something Hisoka-san?" Tsuna asked. I shook my head. Not long after I found my suspicions of Yamamoto proved true as he flew through the worksheet.
"Wow!" Tsuna said in amazement. Of course Yamamoto just laughed it off.
"Once I read the textbook, I found out it was pretty easy," my dark haired classmate said. But Gokudera wasn't convinced so he grabbed Yamamoto's paper and looked over the answers. Needless to say he was shocked.
"I-It's right," he said and I couldn't help but snicker at his reaction, "What are you laughing at woman?"
"Your expression," I replied, "it has to be one of the best I've seen recently."
Gokudera fumed at my comment, but before he could think of a way to retort Yamamoto spoke up again.
"I didn't quite get question seven, though," my classmate said. This had Gokudera laughing, but I couldn't really see the humor in this. After all what little I saw of it had my head spinning and my brain frying.
"You're still an idiot, Yamamoto!" the silverette said grinning, "Right, Jyuudaime?"
Upon seeing Tsuna's look though he paused. I lifted an eyebrow. I honestly couldn't believe that he thought Tsuna would be able to solve something Yamamoto couldn't. And really I didn't think that even Gokudera himself could solve it.
"I don't care about question seven, I still don't get half of all this," Tsuna said. I sighed, and deemed question seven out of my league.
"Jyuudaime! You can show your power by solving question seven in no time!" Gokudera tried to encourage the brunette.
"What does power have to do with solving a math problem anyway?" I asked earning a shrug from Yamamoto. The feeling of being watched was suddenly present, and I ignored Tsuna reading the problem. This time though I was able to find the source. The child that was in Tsuna's room was who had been watching me these past few days. The only question I had though was how he'd been able to watch me while I was at school. Suddenly my cellphone buzzed in my pocket, and I pulled it out to look at the message I'd been sent.
"Sorry, but I have to go now," I said bowing, "It was nice seeing you all."
With that I took my leave and headed down the stairs. On my way I passed a girl with dark brown hair carrying snacks up to Tsuna's room. What struck me as odd was that she was wearing a purple bandana over her head, and tied just below her nose. Shaking myself I got to the door and slipped on my shoes. Once I was out the door I began racing home to see what had been so important. If I'd known beforehand what was going to be said I would've taken more time.
Me: *sighs* Wow, this chapter got long. So yeah Haru was sort of introduced in this chapter, but Yuzuki won't officially meet her until later. Probably when Kyoko becomes friends with Haru. *clears throat* I also want to say that Yuzuki will probably get along better with Tsuna and the boys just because of her personality. Don't get me wrong she's still a girl and likes hanging out with Kyoko, Hana, and Hiromi but she'd rather be more active than they are.
Yuzuki: *nodding* Yeah, that's true I'm not one to really talk about crushes or things like that, but I won't say no to a little girl time. But like Brightcloud said I'm just not like that. In fact I rather be fighting or playing sports if I have the option.
Me: Anyways hope you enjoyed this chapter and that it didn't seemed forced. And again I'd like to say that I do not own KHR, but I own my OCs and the plot when they are involved.
Yuzuki: Yep, and Brightcloud would also like to apologize for the readers who are looking for some action; that will be coming soon but it'll take a few more chapters before it actually comes about.
Me: Yeah, so until then I ask you to be patient and I will try to get everything out when I can. Until next time ja ne.
Yuzuki: See ya real soon!
