A/N: Well, here's a quick update to make up for me not updating the previous chapter for over half a year. It's a bit longer than the previous ones too haha.
Chapter 3: Beginning the 'First' Day of School
Tsuna groaned when she woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. It was a new morning and she didn't want to go to school.
It's time to wake up."
"I don't want to."
"If you don't get up within three seconds, I won't guarantee your safety."
"Hiiiii! I'm up!" Tsuna shouted, jumping out of bed the instant she heard her tutor's threat.
Reborn smirked. "I'll be waiting downstairs then, Tsuki-chan."
Tsuna gave Reborn a confused look. "Tsuki-chan?"
"Sawada Tsukiko. That's the name that you'll be known by from now on. And remember, you're the cousin of Sawada Tsunayoshi, who got transferred from a school in Tokyo, while Tsunayoshi was transferred there," Reborn explained, so that female Tsuna would be able to answer any basic questions students might bombard her with. "I'll be waiting downstairs then,"he announced, exiting the room.
Tsuna let out a long sigh before making an effort to walk across the room to grab her new school uniform. Well, it's time to start her new life as a girl.
After brushing her teeth and taking a shower, Tsuna got ready to slip into her uniform. It was still weird seeing her new body, but after having Bianchi forcing her to stare at her naked self in the mirror for a whole hour, it was no longer as much of a struggle then it was at first. However, it still felt so…unnatural to her and she was still tempted to close her eyes; in which she did end up doing a couple of times. She didn't have much trouble putting on her bra though since Bianchi taught her that yesterday also.
It took her more than twice the usual length of time she usual took to get ready, but she managed it. Tsuna couldn't help but shiver at the sight of herself wearing a skirt. This was the first time and she felt so exposed. She looked at herself in the mirror and blushed slightly. Why did the school skirt have to be so short? It was at least three inches above her knees and when she sat down, it will come up even more. Taking one last look at herself in the mirror, Tsuna finally headed towards the stairs.
"Lambo! Give I-Pin's lollipop back!"
"No way! It's Lambo-san's now!"
Suddenly, two kids came flying out of nowhere, bumping into Tsuna as they chased each other around the house. Unluckily for Tsuna, she was right above the stairs.
"Hiiii!" she screamed, falling down the stairs.
"Itai, itai…" she groaned, landing with a loud thud on the bottom floor. Why does this keep on happening to her?
"Ah…"
Tsuna opened her eyes to see Yamamoto hovering over her. A faint blush streaked across his face.
Tsuna furrowed her eyebrows slightly, wondering why Yamamoto had that strange expression on his face. It didn't take her long to realize the cause of it though—that her skirt had flipped up and exposed her bright pink underwear when she fell. Tsuna scrambled onto her feet, her face as red as a tomato. This was so embarrassing! Why did Bianchi have to bring her such a bright color underwear? And why did Yamamoto have to be here to witness this embarrassing and ridiculous incident?
An awkward atmosphere fell in the room. Both people could not speak nor look at each other in the face. Tsuna can feel her hands sticky with sweat as she fidgeted with her skirt in embarrassment. Yamamoto, who was also in chagrin after seeing his friend in such a state, could only look the other way in silence, his hand scratching the bottom of his neck as he tried to calm down.
"It seems that Yamamoto is no longer an eye virgin."
Both Yamamoto and Tsuna finally snapped out of it and turned towards the kitchen to see Reborn coming out.
"But he may not have been before this anyways," Reborn added, the usual smirk on his face growing wider.
Yamamoto turned a deep shade of red. "W-Wha…what? Wait, I…n-never…"
"Reborn! Stop doing that!" Tsuna yelled, still blushing. She then reached for Yamamoto's arm and pulled him into the kitchen, grabbed two pieces of toasted and headed straight for the front door before Nana could call out to him to sit and eat all of his breakfast.
"I'm really sorry about that. Reborn always goes too far when trying to mess with other people," Tsuna apologized to her friend once they were both outside.
Yamamoto laughed nervously. "It's fine," he said, biting on a piece of toast that Tsuna handed to him.
Tsuna nodded, biting into her own piece of toast. It was plain since she didn't want to hang around long enough to put some butter or yam on it, but the crunchiness and the warm aroma that came from it being recently cooked, made up for that. Not much of a breakfast though. She was definitely going to be hungry before lunch time hits. However, it was better than being in the house and having Reborn and most likely also Bianchi making perverted comments.
Yamamoto took another bite out of his toast and took a small glance at Tsuna. Why was he feeling so anxious? It was only Tsuna afterall. Okay, so Tsuna was now a girl, but what did that change? Never mind, it changed quite a lot, but Tsuna was still Tsuna no matter what right?
"Yamamoto, are you alright?" Tsuna questioned her Rain Guardian, who seemed to be spaced out and engrossed in his own thoughts. A worried expression plastered Tsuna's face. She certainly hoped that he wasn't still thinking about the incident at her house.
"Eh? Oh, haha, it's nothing," Yamamoto said, snapping out of his thoughts. He then grinned brightly at Tsuna, which made the Vongola Decimo a bit confused. "Oh right, let's hurry up or else we'll have to face Hibari."
Tsuna nodded and quicken her steps until she was almost running at the mention of Hibari Kyouya, the school's violent head of the Disciplinary Committee.
Yamamoto chuckled softly and sped up to catch up with Tsuna.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Ah, my name is Sawada Tsukiko. It's nice to meet you everyone," Tsuna introduced herself to her class. It felt so weird having to reintroduce herself to a group of people that she already spent time with for over half the school year.
Suddenly, whistles and chattering can be heard throughout the classroom.
"Wow, she's cute!"
"Yeah, your right!"
"Hey, doesn't she look like Dame-Tsuna?"
"They even have the same last name!"
"Ah…Tsuna is my cousin. He transferred to a school in Tokyo, so I'm here," Tsuna explained what Reborn told her.
"Alright, quite down," the teacher said with a cough. She then turned to Tsuna. "You can go sit in Tsunayoshi's old seat."
Tsuna nodded and went over to sit in her very own seat. She could feel all eyes on her. Most of them filled with interest. She turned behind her to get a look at Yamamoto, who gave her a smile in return. She smiled back and then glanced over at Gokudera's empty seat. She was really starting to worry about him. Was it because of her?
During the whole morning classes, Tsuna could hardly concentrate on what the teacher was saying. Her mind was everywhere but the lesson. First of all, she kept on thinking about what was up with Gokudera. She was anxious about what he thought about her sudden transformation. Second thing was that she was contemplating on how she can escape a crowd of people during break and lunch. No doubt that people would flock to her full of curious questions, especially now that they know that she was supposed to be Tsunayoshi's cousin. Third thing was that, she really needed to go to the bathroom! On the other hand, she didn't really want to go. She had always been used to going to the bathroom the boy's way and it was still uncomfortable for her as a girl.
Once the bell for break rang, a large mass of people came flocking over to Tsuna's desk just as she predicted.
"So, you're really Dame-Tsuna's cousin?"
"He never told us that he had such a cute cousin! Is he trying to keep you all to himself or what?"
"Hey, do you have a boyfriend yet?"
"Tsuki-chan, do you want to have lunch with us today?"
"How did Dame-Tsuna ended up transferring to a school in Tokyo?"
Tsuna couldn't even open her mouth to answer one question when she was bombarded by another. She managed to catch a glimpse of Yamamoto outside of the crowd and as they locked eyes, she gave him a pleading glance, asking him for help.
"Oi, Tsuki, I'll show you around school for a bit during break," Yamamoto said, pushing his way through the crowd until he was at her desk.
"What's this Yamamoto? Are you planning to have her all to herself?" a male student asked, eying the baseball star.
Yamamoto laughed. "Of course not, but Tsuna did ask me to take care of her and entrusted me with the task of showing her around the school." After explaining things to the other students, he pushed Tsuna across the room and out into the hallways.
"Thank you, Yamamoto. I owe you one," Tsuna told her friend with gratitude.
Her Rain Guardian gave her a smile and shrugged. "No problem."
"Hey, Yamamoto," Tsuna hesitated a moment before continuing. "I need to go to the bathroom."
Yamamoto eyed her strangely at first before laughing. "Sure, I'll take you there!"
Tsuna smiled gratefully. As they walked down the hallways, nearly everyone stared at her, causing her to cling onto her friend's sleeve lightly. What would she ever do without her Rain Guardian? If he wasn't there, people would have surely attacked her.
Yamamoto glanced down at Tsuna and couldn't help but smile a bit when he saw her looking at the floor in order to avoid eye contact with anyone and clinging onto him like that.
Finally, they reached the restrooms.
"I'll just go too. If you're done first, then just wait for me. I'll walk you back," Yamamoto said.
Tsuna nodded and started heading into the bathroom.
"Hey, Tsuna…"
Tsuna turned around to face her friend.
"The other one…"
Tsuna's eyes widened when she realized that she was about to step into the boy's bathroom since that was what she was used to. Embarrassed, she quickly turned around and dashed into the girl's bathroom.
To her luck, nobody was inside. She made her way into one of the stalls. She took a deep breath before flipping up her skirt and sitting down on the toilet seat. It wasn't that bad. But it still will need some getting used to.
After she was done, she exited the bathroom to see Yamamoto already waiting for her.
"Let's go," he said.
"Oi, Yamamoto!"
A familiar voice can be heard and the next thing that Yamamoto and Tsuna saw was Ryohei dashing towards them.
"Where is Sawada and octopus head today?" the boxer questioned the baseball player. He then noticed Tsuna standing next to Yamamoto. "Who is this girl? She looks like Sawada to the EXTREME!"
"That is Tsuna."
"Hiiii! Reborn, what are you doing here?" Tsuna yelled in surprised at seeing her hitman tutor standing right next to him.
Ryohei stared at Reborn, perplexed by what the baby hitman was saying before leaning his face close to Tsuna—so close that Tsuna could feel his breath on her face and had to back away. He then looked down and started to observe Tsuna from head to toe, making her blush.
"She really does look like Sawada to the EXTREME, but she is definitely a girl to the EXTREME!" Ryohei concluded.
"That's because Tsuna's real identity is a girl."
Ryohei seemed to look more confused than ever. "I don't get it to the EXTREME! Would you explain it for me in an easier way?"
It wasn't until the bell indicating the end of break rang that Ryohei finally understood what Reborn was trying to say after countless times of re-explaining—which included a couple of threats from the hitman that forced him to understand.
"Oh, so in order to protect Sawada from bad people, she had to be transformed into a boy, but now that the effects of the drug worn off, she transformed back to a girl," Ryohei restated what Reborn said in his own words. "That is such an EXTREME situation!" He then turned to Tsuna. "You are one EXTREME girl! Now I want to recruit you into the boxing club even more!"
Tsuna's mouth dropped opened in shock. Not only was Ryohei accepting the situation so well like it was a normal thing that can happen to anyone, he even seem to think that it was cool and furthermore, still wanted her to join the boxing club! She didn't know whether to be happy about it or not.
"Well, you guys better head back to class now, or else you'll be late," Reborn stated, once he saw that the Sun Guardian finally understood.
"Right! Well, I'll be seeing you guys to the EXTREME!" Ryohei said, running off to the third year classes.
"We better get going too Tsuna," Yamamoto remarked, also running off, with Tsuna trailing behind.
They didn't get far though, when another guardian appeared in front of them.
Tsuna instantly paled. "Hibari-san!"
"No running in the hallways. It disturbs the classes," the Cloud Guardian said coldly.
"But classes aren't starting yet," Yamamoto pointed out.
Just as Yamamoto said that, the second bell rang.
"Any other excuses before I bite you all to death?" Hibari said, raising his tonfa.
"Chotto matte, Hibari-san! Can't we talk about this?" Tsuna said, putting both her hands up in front of her.
Hibari glared at her. "Sawada Tsunayoshi. Cosplaying isn't allowed at school."
Tsuna's mouth dropped open in surprise for the second time that day because of her guardians. Even though she was a girl now, Hibari still managed to tell that it was her even though he didn't know anything about the situation.
"Impressive Hibari," Reborn commented, appearing in the mist of the Vongola guardians again. "Want to hear an interesting story?" he added and started to tell Hibari the whole story.
"Fu-n. It's not really any of my business anyways whether the herbivore is a boy or girl," Hibari stated, after taking his precious time to listen to Reborn. "But it does matter that they are late for class."
"I see," Reborn said understandingly. "Well, I'll just leave you to it then." He then jumped out of the window.
"Reborn!" Tsuna screamed. He really was going to leave her! What kind of tutor was he? Does he not care about his student at all? The answer was obvious. No.
"Prepare to be bitten to death."
"Hiiiii!"
A/N: Both Ryohei and Hibari seem to be the ones who'll not make a big deal about the the situation. And Lambo too of course since he's a freaking five year old.
Thanks for reading! And I hope that I wasn't starting to make it boring. Hehe.
