Now here comes chapter four…please enjoy it XD
Title: Stormy Sky
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Warning: Unbeta and horrible grammar… double sighhh
Takami checked on her uniform and patted the skirt from unseen dust in front of large mirror inside the bathroom. Once satisfied with her new school outfit, the brown haired girl then stared at her face mainly on her long hair that reached her shoulder.
"Let it down or wear it like usual?" The girl pondered and combed the hair playfully using her fingers.
"Taka-chan! Hurry up or you're going to be late!" The single mother shouted from the kitchen. "The breakfast is getting cold here!"
"Give me five minutes!"
"Hurry up!"
Sighing, Takami quickly grabbed her hair bands and pulled her hair into her usual style. Done with everything, the girl picked up her school bag and went down to the kitchen.
The girl managed to ate everything on her plate in rush before running out from the house after saying goodbye to her mother.
Ayaka stared at the closed door and then on the shoes rack. "Taka-chan must forget about her shoes and wear her sneakers." She shook her head and went into her room, readied herself to work.
Takami checked at every direction before she ran full speed to Namimori middle. The twin tailed girl checked at her watch and groaned.
"Five more minutes and yes that's the gate!" The girl cheered once she noticed the school's gate.
"Stop." A calm voice making Takami halted her run and she looked at the person who dared to stop her at very critical time.
The girl felt her heart fell down to the ground once her deep brown eyes met with steel coloured one.
"Hibari Kyoya…You can't be here!" Takami said and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
"Hn?" The perfect simply raised his eyebrows.
"You should be in high school!" The girl now was cursing about her straight forward attitude in her mind. My goodness I'm digging my own grave here!
"Doesn't matter, I can be anywhere I want." Hibari said and lowered his gaze to the Takami's feet. "You're not wearing a proper set for your first day here."
The twin tailed girl followed the perfect's gaze and gasped. "Crap! I forgot about it when in rush!"
"Hn…don't do it next year."
"Sure…sorry…" Takami bowed slightly at the raven and quickly went into the building ignoring amazed gaze from other students nearby. Apparently she was lucky enough to get a pass from Namimori demon.
Sighing in front of her shoes box, Takami flinched at the sudden hug from her back. The twin tailed girl quickly turned around and pushed the person to the nearby wall trapping the person between her arms. Noticing that was her best friend, Takami lowered her arms and rubbed her forehead.
"Geez! Taka-chan!" Miyuki pouted. "So harsh on our first day here!"
"Sorry…I'm just feeling little bit edgy here especially after meeting that Hibari Kyoya…" Takami shrugged and looked at her best friend. "Did we miscalculate about his years?"
The raven haired girl shrugged. "I'm not so sure about that…but you're so cool Taka-chan!"
The twin tailed girl sighed. "What so cool about that when I really feel going to pee at that moment? He is so scary when you face him directly!"
Miyuki laughed. "Nah…It's still so cool. Look at everyone, they have this admire gaze when they look at you. I'm so proud!"
Takami groaned and looked away. "Enough about that, let's go to the assembly." She said and walked to the designated place.
The raven haired girl simply chuckled at the shy girl and went to the hall.
Takami sat boringly at her place while the homeroom was in the session. The girl looked at the scenery outside the windows beside and her gaze instantly focused at the school field nearby. There were few groups of students doing some group meeting around the field. The twin tailed girl concluded the groups were composed with their seniors since the new students were having their first class.
"Have you ever considered joining any sports club?"
Yamamoto's question suddenly came into Takami's mind making the girl frowned a bit.
"I'm going to enter reading club." She murmured to herself.
"What? There is no reading club here?" Takami stared at the papers in her hands with disbelieve.
Miyuki chuckled softly and checked the papers in her hands. "Mm…other than sports there are arts and music club…I have enough with piano lesson at home so I'm not going to join any music related one." The raven haired girl shrugged and scanned another possible choice she could make. "Arts…I'm not really talented in that field…"
"You can join cooking club so that you can produce edible food?" Takami suggested.
"I better avoid that or else that club will change its name to food poisoning club."
"Haha, that's funny." Another voice joined the girls making both Miyuki and Takami looked at the newcomer. Miyuki clasped her hands and looked at the baseball ace with dreamy gaze.
"Yamamoto-senpai!"
Takami sweat dropped at her friend's very giddy reaction and focused at the raven haired male.
"Hi…why are you here?"
"Maa…I'm just wandering around and promoting our club." Yamamoto answered while pointed at his baseball club uniform that he wore and looked around. "We can only recruit new members till the school ends today. Hibari decided that only today we can make crowd around the school ground, funny right?"
The twin tailed girl exchanged glance with Miyuki and both laughed awkwardly.
"Very funny…that guy…" Takami said softly.
"Hush Taka-chan…never said that out loud…you may escaped from him yesterday but I don't think that guy will let you today," Miyuki said in lower voice while looking around.
"I know…that's why I'm saying it in low tone."
Yamamoto stared at the two whispering girl with a confused smile. What did they whisper about? He wondered but it gone once his gaze landed on the flyers about baseball club in his hands.
"Have you two decided what club you're going to join?" The baseball ace asked casually.
Both Miyuki and Takami shook their head and instantly they got another paper to their collection.
"We may sound like a very manly kind of club but come for a visit? We do have this open booth at our training field." The boy explained happily and left the girls.
Takami frowned at the now gone Yamamoto. "He just want to get rid those flyers! I should put this into his very friendly mouth!" The girl glared at the paper in her hand.
Miyuki gasped. "That's so harsh Taka-chan!" The raven haired girl then hugged the flyer to her chest. "Aw…this is the first thing he gives to me…"
"I bet he gives it to everyone he met…" Takami snorted.
"Let me enjoy the moment Taka-chan…" Miyuki said and smelled the paper. The girl frowned. "Ah, it smells like cheap paper and carbon ink."
"Of course, it just a photocopy one. What do you expect? Perfumed paper?"
The twin tailed girl sighed and finally read what the content of the latest flyer they got. Her eyes widened at the information and quickly pulled Miyuki to another booth.
"Hah! You think you can avoid it all day Taka-chan?" Miyuki mocked and waved certain flyer in her hand. "You think I don't read the content? Then you're wrong!"
"And here I'm trying so hard to avoid this…" Takami sighed as they walked to certain field. More likely, Miyuki pulled her arm to the place.
Both girls stopped at the bench where there was a small table for new member registration. Most of the people around were boys and they were excited once they saw girls that willing to come to their place. Some of them even cheered happily.
Yamamoto who was collecting the balls looked at the commotion and grinned at the newcomers. He then ran to the table in light jog.
"Hey, you're coming!" He greeted with his happy smile.
The raven haired girl instantly melted at the view while the twin tailed girl shrugged herself.
"Yeah…we're here…" Takami groaned.
"So want to join our club?" The baseball ace asked happily.
"Yes! Absolutely yes!" Miyuki answered enthusiastically.
"No…" Takami face palmed and grunted.
"To enter this club you must pass a test," The baseball club president showed up and smiled at the girls. Behind him there were groans and loud sighs.
Takami pulled out the folded flyer from her skirt pocket and opened it. "Even for team manager position?"
"Yes, that's our condition…"
"Aw president, can we just skip it this time?" One of the members said tiredly.
"Sorry but no…that's the rule."
"Please? You know, once you mention about the test most of them ran away…Are we going to have a male manager again this year too?" Another member groaned.
Miyuki blinked. "Is the test that hard?"
"Haha not really…" Yamamoto joined the conversation and lightly threw up a ball and caught it casually before focusing at both girls. "You just need to hit my throw. That's all." The boy grinned at the end of his simple explanation.
Another loud groans followed and Miyuki instantly blanched. Takami eyed the sudden changes of her best friend quickly asked her confusion.
"Miyuki? Why are you looking pale? It's just a hit right?"
Pulling her best friend to her side, the raven haired girl whispered. "This is Yamamoto we're talking about. His throw is not something you can take lightly. It's deathly!"
Takami raised her eyebrows. "Really?"
Miyuki groaned dramatically. "Aghh…you're really not paying any attention at the last game, right?"
"Haha…you caught me?"
"Not funny…so…that's it. No wonder other people ran away…"
"Can both of you stop whispering?" Yamamoto asked and grinned. "I'm not being nosy but it's a little bit irritating…as if you're talking bad about me."
Miyuki and Takami laughed awkwardly and walked to the raven haired boy.
"Don't worry we're not talking anything bad about you." Takami said and cursed silently. Damn…nice move Takami, you are just confirming his suggestion.
"Haha…no worries…I know everyone is scared with my ball. Not that I can help it. It's just my nature."
Miyuki and other baseball club members twitched. Nature my ass!
Takami laughed softly and looked at her best friend in friendly gaze. "Go and try it Miyuki, who knows if you manage a hit."
"Ah…haha…um…you go first?" Miyuki laughed softly.
"I'm not joining the club. I'm just escorting you here."
"Aw, please Taka-chan?"
"No!"
"Let's make a deal here," The club president said suddenly making everyone focusing at him. "It's getting late and only you two are possible new members of our club right now. So if one of you manages a hit then both of you are recruited."
"Hell yeah!" The boys cheered and somehow one of them even passed a baseball bat to Takami.
"But…I don't want to join…" The twin tailed girl groaned and frowned at the heaviness of the bat in her hand.
"Good luck Taka-chan! I trust you!" Miyuki said and ran to the boys.
"Hey, where are you going Miyuki?"
"Ready?" Yamamoto asked casually before his gaze change to a serious one.
Takami's eyes widened when she saw where the baseball ace stood. "The hell! When did you move to there?"
Miyuki clasped her hands to her chest and closed her eyes. "Please Taka-chan! Hit it!" Few of boys followed the girl's action while others including their president focused at their pitcher and the other girl with bat.
The twin tailed girl shouted loudly and raised the bat with both hands. "Aghh! I don't care anymore!"
Yamamoto threw the ball.
Takami swung the bat.
"You are good with batting too!" Yamamoto said as they walked out from the school ground.
Takami groaned lowly and sighed. "It's just a lucky streak…damn and I wish that ball hit my head so that I can forget all of this!"
"Haha…that will do no good." The baseball ace commented and waved his hand at his team mates before focusing at the twin tailed girl. "I know you can hit it since you caught the ball during the fall tournament before. You have the skill! It just needs some polishing!"
"That's just reflex and I don't want a ball hit my face when there people are watching." The twin tailed girl sulked.
"Maa…anyway we're in the same club now so welcome!"
"I'm not happy…Thanks to Miyuki now her so brilliant idea comes true." Takami sighed.
"That's good thing!"
"Whatever…I don't really care anymore but now where are we going Yamamoto?"
"To the sports equipments shop, they ask me to buy some new bats for new season and since that you're our new team manager, you should come too!"
"Damn…and Miyuki has her piano lesson at time like this."
"Well it's a good thing that you are both in the same club…when one of you is not around at least there is always one who can act as backup."
"Oh…"
"We don't have this privilege before this since our player also works as team manager…so I'm glad." Yamamoto said and smiled.
"You should be!" The girl shouted.
"Haha…we have arrived!"
"So this is the place," Takami said as she eyed the shop name board and checking the surrounding. Apparently the shop was nearby with the shopping district. "It's just nearby."
"It is…maa let's go in."
Once they entered the shop, Takami's eyes widened at sport equipments inside it.
"Wow, never see this many except at our school store."
"Amazing, right?" The baseball ace grinned.
"Yeah…"
"Come here, this is the baseball section." Yamamoto guide the twin tailed girl to certain section.
After checking the thing they needed and placed their order to the shop owner, the two middle school students went out from the shop. Takami kept her note book inside her bag and shrugged. The raven haired boy eyed the twin tailed girl and smiled.
"It seems that you take your job very well…"
"I might as well do it properly since I'm going to be the team manager…"
"Now that's positive vibe!"
"Shut up!" Takami shouted and went to a nearby food stand. "Learning new thing is fun but it gets me hungry too…" The girl pleased as she noticed the stand was selling crepes. The girl then placed her orders and waited for the food while Yamamoto stared at the menu on the stand with interest.
"Girls like to eat this kind of food, right?"
"Really? I don't really care much as long as it tastes good." Takami picked up her crepe from the stand owner and paid for the food. Yamamoto then took his turn to place his order.
The two middle school students stood in silence when someone approached them.
"Yamamoto? Takami? What are you doing here?"
"Tsuna!" The baseball ace greeted the brunet happily.
"What else…we are having our food here." Takami explained curtly. She was still had this bitter feeling from Tsuna's accusation about her new instructor few weeks ago with addition of unknown heart ache every time she saw the brunet together with his crush.
"Takami…" The brunet shrugged at the cold treatment he got from the girl.
"Let's go Yamamoto, you want to show me another place right?" The twin tailed girl looked at her senior once the raven haired boy received and paid his crepe. "It's getting late…"
"Maa…that's right," Yamamoto said and grinned at Tsuna. "Later Tsuna."
Tsuna stared at the leaving duo stiffly and his gaze narrowed absentmindedly at the closeness between them.
"Something is happening around, right?" Takami asked at her instructor once the man finished his treatment to the said girl. The twin tailed girl then checked at her bandaged left arm.
"Heh, you have this high awareness about your surrounding girl." Shamal commented and kept away the first aid box into the cupboard. "How's your arm? I can't believe that you played that baseball game with those boys."
"Our coach didn't do discrimination. He said that all members should know how to play the game. I just got unlucky today." The twin tailed girl patted the bandage and nodded. "It doesn't hurt that much now."
"It should be…" The man said softly and sat down on his chair. "It was very surprising to see you here with bleeding arm and your beautiful friend…what is her name?"
"Dr Shamal! Don't try anything to her or you'll regret being a man." The girl hissed.
Shamal quickly raised his palm in front of Takami and slouched on his chair. "I'm just kidding; I should know better that you're very protective over your dearest people and I'm very happy being a man so no harm now, Takami?"
"Tch…Fine…"
"Your kick over my groin was something very unfortunate for someone manly as me…even till today I still can feel the soreness…Now that's your dangerous moves…No I should say killer moves for men."
"That's because you're trying to flirt with my mom!" The twin tailed girl huffed. "You deserved it."
The man laughed softly and grinned at his young disciple. "So, you said about something is happening around, right?"
"Yes…"
"It is…something very big and important to them…" Shamal said and smiled playfully.
"Them as in…Tsuna and others? No wonder Yamamoto was skipping the practice these few days and I received this weird look from Tsuna." Takami questioned and frowned. "Do I need to do something too?"
"Not directly but you're going to meet your senior."
"Ah…"
Gokudera eyed Takami critically before he looked at Shamal.
"First you're making me to fold paper plane and now having hands to hands combat with this brat?" Gokudera complained before looking at the twin tailed girl. "I'm not going to do it with her!" The silver haired boy groaned. "She is a girl!"
"So are your sister Hayato."
"She is different and we never fight directly!"
Shamal sighed and looked at Takami who was getting impatient.
"Takami, show him." The doctor said at his youngest disciple and went under nearby tree, smirking. "Never underestimates girls Hayato."
Within few seconds, a loud thud on the ground could be heard followed with a grunt, pain hiss.
"Aughhh! Brat! Where did you kick?!" Gokudera groaned sickly as he went into fetal position while holding most precious part for man. "Ouch…it's hurts!"
"Um…I thought Dr Shamal want me to show you my most dangerous skill?" Takami said while lowering her leg to the ground and looked at her instructor innocently. "Right?"
"Ah…yeah…" The man chuckled awkwardly and quickly looked away avoiding both of his students' eyes mainly from the boy. "Should we take some break for a moment? Hayato looks like he really needs the rest now."
"Curse you Shamal!" Gokudera yelled and groaned in pain. "Ouch…damn it!"
"Um…Sorry?" Takami supplied making the silver haired boy groaned some more.
Somehow after that very so unfortunate first time training together; Gokudera managed to accept Takami presence. The dynamite user simply stated that twin tailed girl was not normal kind of girl that he saw every day at school and they started their hand to hand combat training after he finished with his paper plane practices.
Shamal also gave first aid training to Takami and let the girl tended the silver boy's injury since his policy was never treat any male patient.
The twin tailed girl snorted at that very unfair policy.
Takami kept going to school like usual during the day and came for training once the class and club activity ended.
She also noticed that Yamamoto also didn't come to their club practice and Miyuki now had another love target among the baseball club members.
"I can't believe that you like someone else now. Our president no less!"
"Ah…Koutaro-san is very gentle and considerate guy. He helped me with batting practice and now I can hit the ball." Miyuki stared at the evening sky dreamily.
"Good for you then…" Takami shrugged.
"But I'm still far from good…you're already on par with their regulars."
"I guess you should try hitting Yamamoto's ball? It is damn scary but it feels good once you get hang to it."
"No thanks..." Miyuki quickly said and shrugged. "He is rarely showed up during the practice by now…do you notice it?"
Takami stared at the sky and sighed. "He is busy with something else maybe?"
It was the last day for the silver haired boy training session as Shamal gave a pass to the boy once Gokudera perfected his techniques. Apparently it was his turn to fight tonight.
Takami never asked the details what they had been doing but she knew it had to be something very important from her training with the boy. Gokudera was very serious once they were in practice. The girl enjoyed it very much since the boy didn't held back anything.
"The rest is up to you Hayato. See both of you later," Shamal said and left the ground.
Takami sighed and went to Gokudera. "Let's change that." The girl pointed at now dirtied bandage around the boy.
The dynamite user nodded slowly and pulled out his shirt; giving access to Takami to do her work.
"You're good at this now Takami." Gokudera said as he waited for the twin tailed girl finished bandaging his torso.
After training together for quite time, Gokudera no longer called the girl as brat and using her name during their conversation. Meanwhile Takami happily complied the silver haired boy's request to drop the honorific from his name.
"Really?" The twin tailed girl carefully cut the excess cloth before placing a clip to ensure the bandage didn't move.
"Better than the first time you do it." The silver haired boy sighed. "You bind it too hard and it made me collapsed due to lack of oxygen. It was hard to breathe back then!"
"Uh sorry?"
"You are not sounded sorry at all."
"Haha…Sorry Gokudera…I really mean it." Takami stared at her work proudly before slapped the dynamite user's back. "Now you're good to go!"
"Ouch! Can you stop hitting me? It's hurts!" Gokudera hissed and glared at the girl.
"My bad…" The junior waved her hand and smiled apologetically.
Putting back his shirt, the silver haired boy looked at Takami who was keeping everything inside the first aid box.
"You're really coming tonight?"
"Yes, Dr Shamal asked me to come."
"You know Takami…you can stay back at home if you want."
Takami looked at Gokudera confusedly. "Why?"
"Tenth are not going to be so happy…"
"Tsuna?"
"Yeah, he was really angry once he learned that you train under Shamal…that's my first time saw him like that. Even recently he still sulking about it until Reborn-san said it was for your own good since you're living with your mom."
Takami shrugged. "It's not his business on what I'm doing…we are not even friend and barely know each other…He has more things to worry about like…like…"
"Sasagawa Kyoko and Miura Haru?" Gokudera suggested and he instantly received the answer from the twin tailed girl as the latter stared at the ground solemnly.
Takami sighed and looked at Gokudera with a warm smile. "This talk is never happened, okay?"
The silver haired boy snorted and looked at Takami with a small smile. "Fine."
"Thanks, you're really a good senior Gokudera!"
"S-Shut up!"
"Maa you're embarrassed!"
"Stop talking like baseball idiot!"
"Waa…shy boy!"
"Aghh!"
Tsuna frowned as he noticed Takami arrived at the school together with Shamal. The twin girl stepped aside as the doctor was getting elbowed face first by two woman that he casually touched their chests.
"Serves you right," Takami said lamely as she stared at her instructor.
"What are you doing here?" Both Gokudera and Tsuna asked the same question but to different people. The silver haired boy went to Shamal while Tsuna stopped himself in front of Takami. He was not pleased with the girl presence with their enemies nearby.
The twin tailed girl looked at Tsuna and shrugged. "I come to cheer on Gokudera…since we trained together…"
"But! What? Hiee! You trained together?" Tsuna's eyes widened at the news.
"Maa…It's okay Tsuna…" Yamamoto suddenly patted the brunet's shoulder and grinned at Takami.
The girl nodded gratefully at the raven and quickly followed Shamal to join with others ignoring hurtful look from Tsuna.
Takami eyed the group of boys in front of her and she smiled warmly once she listened to what the brunet had said to cheer up Gokudera before they huddled together and cheered loudly.
"Ah…he is always so sincere with his words." Takami said softly and unknown to her someone did listen what she had spoke.
"So you like that one huh? Nice choice for long run but sadly he has someone he likes."
"Yeah…I know that…that's why I'm admiring him from far…" Takami paused and looked at Shamal in horror. "Hell no! You're not hearing anything!" She then turned to Basil who stood nearby and glared at the soft spoken boy. "And you too! Keep quiet or else…"
The blond boy startled. "So-Sorry? Did you say anything Izumi-san?"
"Just promise me!"
"Ah…ah…okay?" Basil blinked confusedly.
Shamal covered his chuckle behind his palm.
Grunting, Takami crossed her arms over her chest as the rest joining them at designated area for spectators.
Tsuna took an interest glance at the fuming girl before focusing at the battle.
What's wrong with her?
Takami enjoyed watching movies and she didn't have any personal preference as long as the storyline was good enough. Meanwhile Miyuki loved romantic and comedy genre kind of movies. Both girls did spend their time together at each other places just watching movies after done with the homework especially on weekend.
Romantic kind gave warm feeling to their stomach.
Comedy always made them laughed non stop.
Horror was making their eyes opened for the whole night.
Action movies always gave thrill feel to both girls.
Takami blinked at the screen as she felt the school building was shaking after the loud explosion. The action was real and she could feel various feeling came from it. Apparently Gokudera really went out himself as he used lots of dynamites in this battle. Same went for his freaking self claimed prince who was the silver haired boy's opponent.
The battle took lots of time and the air turbine around the perimeter was started to explode one by one. Both silver haired boy and his opponent were tired and injured badly and they barely moved before they went hands on hands fight.
The time ticked and loud explosion could be heard from the now destroyed air turbine. It was getting nearer.
Everyone shouted at the stubborn dynamite user including Takami.
"Gokudera! Run from that place!" The twin tailed girl groaned.
"Hayato! Did you forget what I taught you before your training started?!" Shamal shouted firmly making Takami focused at their tutor.
The girl knew even though Shamal didn't treat Gokudera's wound, the man taught her every important techniques for treating someone injury very well so that she could tend the boy properly. Even without saying it directly, Takami knew Shamal was concerned with Gokudera's well being as he kept asking her progress with the work he had assigned her.
"I can't back down now, even if I die!" The silver haired boy shouted desperately after a while making Takami stiffened. He can't be serious! The twin tailed girl shouted in her mind.
"Knock it off!" Tsuna shouted so suddenly and panted. Everyone became quite and looked at him. The brunet then glared at the screen above him and opened his mouth. "Why do you think we're fighting?"
Takami knew the brunet who stood in front of her was now growing up from a meek, good hearted young boy to a brave and big hearted teenager as she stared Tsuna yelled at Gokudera in the screen. It seemed that Tsuna's words managed to hit the dynamite user very hard as she could see the expression change from her training partner. The girl felt awed at the changes she saw that moment and suddenly got a glimpse of her dead father behind Tsuna's back. Gasped in surprise, the girl closed her eyes as she grasped her ached heart.
Shamal took notice at his disciple. "Hey, you okay?" He asked.
Takami nodded slowly as she opened her eyes. "I'm fine…just worry for that stupid senior for a moment…"
No I'm not fine…I fall hard…Damn…
The fight was ended with Gokudera's loss and Takami quickly went back to her house after Shamal urged her to go back as soon as possible. It seemed that her instructor caught her on the action.
Takami never felt any more grateful for Shamal's concern at that time.
The girl never turned back to the group as she walked away.
She never saw the concern look from certain brunet she admired so long.
Takami was reading the magazine she had bought from the convenience store while walking when she felt someone had patted her shoulder. Flinching, the girl quickly turned around and smacked the rolled magazine to person behind her.
"Hey hey! It's me Takeshi!"
"Hah?" The girl kept smacking. "I don't know anyone with that name!"
"Maa…Yamamoto Takeshi!"
The girl halted her hand and bowed repeatedly. "Wah! Sorry! Sorry! I'm sorry."
"Maa it's okay…now that I found you, let's go!"
The twin tailed girl stopped from bowing and blinked. "Go? To where?"
"To my place! It will be fun!" Yamamoto said cheerfully.
Takami stiffened and stared at the raven with disbelieve. "…"
The boy blinked innocently. "…"
"What?! Hell no!" The girl shouted and walked away.
Being a sportsman, Yamamoto quickly reached the girl's side and joined the walk. "Haha you're very funny Takami. I mean at my father's sushi shop!"
"Tch…say it properly next time. Your improper sentence can bring to large misunderstanding!" Takami grunted and looked at Yamamoto with interest. "Your father owns a sushi shop?"
"Yeah, his sushi is the best in Namimori! You should know since you're from here too right?"
"I think we went there few times before." The girl frowned and remembered the moment inside the shop where a man who made the sushi chatted casually with her mother but there was a hint of flirt behind the cheerfulness.
"Oh, with your mom?"
"Yes…So…That man is your father huh?" Takami glared at the road ahead making few people around who did looked at the girl quickly gave a way.
Yamamoto felt the air darkened around the twin tailed girl. "Uh you're scary Takami…Haha calm down…Uh…Yeah, he is my dad…Why?"
"Nothing." The girl answered firmly and not giving the raven haired boy chance to ask any other question.
"Uh…Okay…"
"So what's the occasion?" Takami asked. "We don't have anything to celebrate about."
Yamamoto laughed. "Well, you only showed up at Gokudera's battle, so you might not know the full conclusion of the event."
"Ah…I just follow what Dr Shamal said and Gokudera is kind of like my senior in that sense…"
"What about me? Am I your senior too?"
"Of course…you teach me a lot with that baseball thing…and you're skipping a lot of practices these days!" Takami shouted at the end.
"Maa sorry, sorry…no one asked about my well being when I'm not around?"
"Nope…Miyuki did questioning about your absence once…but then no more."
"Cool…I need to apologize to them soon." Yamamoto shrugged.
"You better…"
"Ah…about going to my dad's place; they are celebrating our won over that fight!"
"Wow…I don't know the details but congratulations!" Takami said with a warm smile.
The twin haired girl's eyes widened as she stepped into the shop. She was shocked at the crowd and while searching for a seat, Yamamoto pulled her to his side and whispered something.
"I did say that we are celebrating our won of that fight but generally as cover we celebrate for that kid," The baseball ace pointed at certain boy in cow printed outfit. "Release from the hospital."
"Ah…but why?"
"Well those girls and Tsuna's mom didn't know what we did few nights before."
Takami eyed at certain area where Nana was chatting casually with two girls that she knew as Tsuna's crushes.
"To keep their innocence huh?" Takami said absentmindedly and snorted slightly. "I understand about Nana-san…but the other two?"
"They are just too over protective…and Tsuna don't want them to worry…"
"Well that's girls…not that I'm complaining here but it's just that…never mind that…" Takami shrugged.
Yamamoto blinked at the hanging statement from the twin tailed girl.
"Yamamoto, Takami!" Tsuna called both of them and stopped in front of the two with Gokudera followed behind.
"Ah Tsuna, Gokudera, congratulations." Takami said and smiled.
"You bet!" Gokudera proudly showed his ring at the twin tailed girl. "Look Takami! This is the complete ring!"
The twin tailed girl pulled the Gokudera's hand and stared at the complete Vongola ring on his finger with fascinated look. Unknown to the girl, the brunet was frowned lightly at the sudden closeness action showed in front of him while the storm ring owner grinned happily at the girl's look.
"Amazing, right?"
"Yeah…before this it was in half and now it's complete!" Takami exclaimed.
"Well, I have one too!" Yamamoto showed his ring with a happy smile.
"Cool, can I look at it?" The girl asked and accepted the ring from the baseball ace since he wore it as a necklace. "Wow, it has different design on it."
"I-I have too Takami…" Tsuna said softly. He didn't want to be left out.
"Oh…can I look at it? What kind of design is yours?" Takami looked at Tsuna excitedly.
"Um, here…" Tsuna gave out his Vongola ring after removing the chain from his neck. The brunet cursed silently why he didn't wore it on his fingers like Gokudera.
Why? Just why?...Um…wait a moment…I'm not jealous over my friend, right? Takami is just…just…what is she to me?
The twin tailed girl blinked and frowned at Tsuna's ring before she looked at the brunet who was lost in his thought. "Tsuna? Yours is a little bit different compared with them."
"Of course he is Takami, because he is the boss." Reborn casually said from Yamamoto's shoulder.
"Wow…" The girl stared at the ring before giving it back to its owner. "It's beautiful…and somehow it fits you Tsuna. I like yours more."
"T-Thanks Takami…" Tsuna placed back his ring on his neck before he suddenly got pulled by two girls to in the middle of the shop.
Takami stared blankly at the group who were now circling the brunet and shrugged before she felt a soft pat on her shoulder. Turning to her side, she met with smiling Nana.
"Nana-san…Nice to meet you here…"
"Takami-chan…it has been a while right?"
The girl huffed while crossing her arms. "Yeah…since that day when you and mom leaving us alone."
"Haha, so did anything happen?" The woman chuckled.
"No!" Takami released a breath and shrugged. "Nothing happened…" The girl said softly as she looked at very happy Tsuna with Kyoko beside him.
Nana smiled sadly as she kept patting the twin tailed girl's shoulder.
"Well, care to entertain me with your middle school story?"
"Sure," Takami smiled at the woman.
After exchanged few stories with Nana, the said woman went to talk with Yamamoto's father; to give her thanks for lending the place for the celebration.
The girl also changed looks with few other people she knew like the blond man she met once at the river long time ago and her instructor, Shamal. The girl frowned once she noticed that the doctor was drunk.
Takami sipped her juice slowly when two girls suddenly sat down in front of her.
"I think we have met before…" Kyoko started the conversation as she looked at Takami warmly.
"Haru never see her around." The girl with ponytail exclaimed.
Takami shrugged. "Ah…Yamamoto invites me here…"
"Ah…so you're Yamamoto-san's friend!" Haru said and took a sip of her water. "I'm Miura Haru!"
"I'm Sasagawa Kyoko."
"Izumi Takami, nice to meet you two."
Kyoko clasped her hands. "Ah I remember now, we met at elementary school! At the garbage place! You fought with Tsuna-kun that time."
"Ah…that time huh…" Takami wondered. "I did fight with Tsuna…so you're the girl with him that time."
"Yes, we're from the same class." Kyoko nodded.
"You had fight with Tsuna-san?" Haru said and suddenly went into drama mood. "I did too and then he saved me…I'm falling for him since that day!"
Takami sweat dropped at the very dramatic girl while Kyoko chuckled at her friend.
"So, are you enjoying the party?" Kyoko asked with a smile. "We planned it together, right Haru?"
"Yeah!" The ponytailed girl grinned. "We made these decorations. Bianchi-san and I-pin-chan helped too!"
The girl eyed at the very happy people around the shop and she shrugged.
She felt out of place.
Takami glanced at both Kyoko and Haru. Two girls were chatting happily with each other. The twin tailed girl stared at her laps. Even though they didn't know what those boys do every night, but they gave their emotional support unlike her.
She didn't do anything and yet she was in the circle.
She felt she was at the wrong place.
Pulling out her mobile phone from her trouser pocket, Takami checked at the time. Good thing it was the time she needed to be at home. The girl casually stood from her seat ignoring both Kyoko and Haru and walked to certain raven haired baseball freak.
"I gotta go…got something to do at home." Takami said at Yamamoto and smiled. "Thanks for inviting me here Yamamoto."
"Ah…okay…um…wait…"
"Yes?"
"My dad wants to have a talk with you."
"Huh?"
"It doesn't need to be today…just come here when you're free?"
Takami glanced at the older Yamamoto and frowned once the man gave her a friendly smile.
"I think I know what he wants to talk about…Tch!"
Yamamoto laughed. "Haha…I don't mind to have a younger sibling if it is you."
"What?!"
"Maa…just kidding?"
"It's not funny!" Takami groaned and elbowed the baseball ace's side.
"Ouch!" Yamamoto grabbed the tender spot and groaned sickly. "That's hurt…"
"Take that!" The twin tailed girl snorted.
Behind both of them, not so far there was certain brunet who saw the friendly exchange between his friend and someone who he didn't know where to categorize. The only thing he was sure that, he felt this jealous feeling when he saw the twin tailed girl was friendlier with other guy.
"Takami…why are you making feel like this?" Tsuna muttered softly as he stared sadly at the now closed door where the girl left.
