A/N: I would like to thank everyone who reviewed the last chapter. I really appreciate those who added this story in their faves and alerts as well but it would be nicer if you actually leave me a review instead.
Anyway, without further ado, here's part two.
Chapter 4
"Dame-Tsuna, translate this English sentence." Reborn said, more like ordered.
"Ah… Uhm… The… cat is… growing… from the dog?" Tsuna answered, hesitantly.
The whole class erupted to laughter and the bullies jeered at the brunet.
Reborn tsk-ed, "Your dameness never ceases to amaze me."
Tsuna flushed deep red as he slumped down onto his chair, hiding his face behind his textbook from everyone else to see and jeer more.
"Right. Turn to–" Reborn was unintentionally cut off when two loud knocks came outside and the English teacher promptly called out to the person to enter when that gruff deep voice of the head prefect's right-hand subordinate came after the knocking.
The door slid open to the side, revealing a tall man with regent hairstyle and in a black gakuran uniform with a "Disciplinary Committee" arm banned pinned on the left. What caught everyone's (especially the girls) attention was the guy standing behind the regent haired man like he's somewhat bored and is used to the reaction he's getting.
When the DC member felt like his task has been successfully accomplished, he bowed his head to the English teacher which he nodded his head in acknowledgement before sliding the door closed with a soft click.
A few seconds later, the class erupted to a bustling noise again that Tsuna had to look up from his textbook to see what was the commotion was about. Curious caramel-brown eyes glanced around to see girls happily whispering away with each other while some boys seemed to look unfazed with everything. When eyes came to stop in front the classroom, an eyebrow arched up when a familiar face came to view. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Reborn writing something on the board in big and bold kanji – Rokudo Mukuro, it read. The name sounds very creepy. Tsuna can't pinpoint where he saw the face from, but he swore he had seen him somewhere, though.
After writing the name down, Reborn turned to look at his students before grabbing a random book from his desk, hovered it a few inches from the desk and slammed it down so loud it made everyone flinched and the class became quiet again. Ah. He should do that more often, slamming things, that is.
"This is Rokudo Mukuro. He will be attending the same school and class as of today. I suggest everyone to be good little angels or suffer the consequences." Reborn turned around to the new student, "If there's something you want to tell, spit it out now."
The new student chuckled and the bustling erupted again when he opened his mouth to speak a little about his self. Tsuna watched from the distance while girls asked the new person questions one after another in a relentless manner. Sometimes girls can become really scary once they see a very gorgeous guy right in front of them.
Tsuna is having a mental argument with himself about how familiar that person is and why does he have this strong feeling in his gut that he has already seen him before? Did he unconsciously hit his head on to something when he came running away from the prefect once he had let him off and it made him lost a great amount of memories or something? Naah can't be. Although he admits he tends to space out more often lately.
Tsuna looked more closely at the familiar face. His breath hitched when those red and blue eyes had randomly met his caramel-brown ones and memories from earlier came flooding onto his mind.
"AH!" Tsuna gasped loudly as he abruptly stood up from his chair with such force that it slammed loudly to the desk behind him making the person sitting at the next row yelp from surprise, hissing an angry 'hey' at Tsuna which in turn apologized for his actions.
Everyone, I mean everyone – that includes the new student who was also surprised for a millisecond before smiling inwardly – stared at Tsuna like he had grown another head or a limb. But the brunet didn't care if they think he's gone crazy because his attention is currently on this new student he had seen early this morning and the same person he found his self mysteriously captivated to. Tsuna can't understand this feeling. It's like he is being pulled towards the guy, like a magnet. It's so puzzling it's hurting his head.
Tsuna snapped out of his thoughts when he suddenly felt chills running down his spine. Is it just him or the room temperature is decreasing despite the sunny weather outside? Oh wait, it's just Reborn looking at him with such intense gaze that makes anyone wet in their pants right there and now. After much years of being together with the man, Tsuna seemed unfazed of the stare; however, because he knows the man so well, he knows that that smirk on his face is definitely not a good thing. Yup, it's definitely not a good thing.
"Oh. That's nice of you to volunteer, Dame-Tsuna." Said Reborn in a mocking tone, setting the book he's holding down on the desk, his eyes never leaving the brunet's form.
Tsuna blinked, "V-volunteer…? What…"
He glanced at Reborn then to the new student (before looking around the classroom when he felt murderous and killing intent was directed at him and cringed when he found the girls glaring at him he wished the ground would swallow him right now) then back to Reborn. Piecing the bits of pieces together, Tsuna's caramel-brown eyes comically widened when he finally realized what he had just volunteered for.
"EHH! N-n-n-no! I-I do—" Tsuna paled when Reborn shot him a scary look which made Tsuna flinched before releasing an exasperated sigh as he slumped down on his chair, slamming his head on his desk which he regretted right away. Never slam your head on the desk with such force. It seriously hurts.
At that, Reborn smiled that sly smile of his. Turning his head to look at the new student, who was still has his oddly mismatched eyes locked onto the brunet, Reborn scrutinized him (thinking about when and where did this new student and Dame-Tsuna ever met) before glancing around the room for a vacant seat for him to seat. Ah.
"There's a vacant seat over there (cue girls whispering and bustling here) beside Dame-Tsuna (Reborn slammed the book again when 'awws' and 'nooos' were heard in the classroom). Since you two seem to have already met, things will be much easier for the both of us; Dame-Tsuna will be your guide until you get to know the ropes around here," a distant cry of 'what' could be heard from the back and girls whining but Reborn ignored them and motioned for the student to go to his seat. The English teacher watched the student walked in long strides to where his seat was
…right next to Tsuna's. Reborn inwardly smiled. His student is actually trying to make friends albeit being all hesitant and flushed about it aside from that prefect who has a great respect for him and has an inkling feeling of like for the brunet from much observation. Who the hell can't see those steel-blue eyes of his that could make a crowd disperse in a second soften at a mere sight of the brunet? But then again, no one could notice that since everyone is very much terrified of the prefect and the prey is pretty much oblivious at what's going on around him. But that just makes everything seem fun.
Reborn's lips curved into a soft smile as he saw the new student and Dame-Tsuna conversing with each other. He softly shook his head before tapping his stick on the board making everyone's attention turn back to him as he opened the book on his hands, "Turn to page three hundred three."

When the bell finally rang signaling that it's lunch time, Tsuna slammed face first on his book at the amount of assignments which are due tomorrow. He sat back up and stretched his arms and legs out and breathed out a sigh of satisfaction when soft popping sounds came. After that, he swiftly put his books and pencils inside his bag and took out his lunch box.
Tsuna glanced outside the window and a smile crept across his face when he saw the cloudy blue sky, the bright sun peeking out from the soft cottony marshmallow-like now and then; it's a good day to eat lunch on the roof. With that goal in mind, he stood up from his seat and grabbed his bento box from his desk.
From the corner of his eyes, he could see the new student (Mukuro, was it?) trying to make an effort to move away from the horde of girls who suddenly showed up at his desk inviting him to eat lunch with them. Tsuna sweat-dropped when the girls started fighting with each other about which of them should the new guy eats lunch with. Tsuna softly chuckled before he trekked to his own haven – the peaceful rooftop.
Moments later, Tsuna arrived at his destination. He looked around and when he confirmed that no one was there, he let out a sigh of relief. He took a seat at a shadier spot which was his usual spot and where he could watch everyone from above like ants.
Tsuna began eating, enjoying the aroma of cherry blossoms in the air, the sun rays hitting on his skin occasionally, the warm and cooling breeze fanning his flushed face and the noise of classmates and schoolmates from below. Tsuna likes this moment of peace.
That moment of peace, however, was suddenly disrupted by a bunch of girls squealing from somewhere below. Tsuna momentarily looked up from his bento to the ground below and found a horde of girls with bento boxes in hand. They looked like they were looking for someone. Probably the new guy, Tsuna thought.
"Haha. If they keep disrupting the peace like that, they'll surely be bitten to death." Tsuna mused to his self. As if on cue, the head prefect of the Disciplinary Committee did made his appearance and made everyone disperse from the vicinity, even the ones who were playing just now in less than a second.
When the coast was clear, Tsuna noticed the new guy peeking from behind the tree across from his direction. Despite the commotion earlier, the mismatched colored guy seemed unfazed and has a soft smile on his face (which made Tsuna blushed for a bit) while his attention was on the indigo colored phone on his hand. A girlfriend, perhaps…?
Tsuna shrugged before going back to finishing his lunch before the bell rings. If Tsuna didn't looked away, he would have seen those mismatched eyes move away from his phone and up to his petit form, a knowing smile on his lips.

Later that day, Tsuna focused, well tried to focus, on the remaining classes that afternoon while a pair or mismatched eyes was so intent on disrupting his concentration in focusing that the brunet kept on squirming uncomfortably on his chair. Not from his new seatmate's weird fascination over him but those scary looking eyes of the girls in class! Ugh. Why me?!
Tsuna glanced up to the round wall clock above the board and his eyes lingered there for a while counting the seconds before the school bell rings, indicating that classes have ended and it's now time to go home – for students who doesn't have anything to do after class, that is.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Tsuna watched his classmates scurry off to wherever they needed to go. Caramel-brown eyes trailed off to the person sitting on his right and silently watched as the girls bid goodbye to the new student. When they were gone, Tsuna stood up from his chair and stood near the other's desk, tnocking the desk softly with his knuckles when the other didn't notice him approach.
"Would you like to see the whole school, Mukuro-san?" Tsuna suggested when the other looked up.

"…And, there's the gym," Tsuna said, pointing his slender finger to the big building as he turned his head to look at Mukuro who was staring so intently at him again, "A-ah. If you have any more questions, y-you can just ask me." Tsuna squirmed under those scrutinizing eyes.
"A question, huh…" Tsuna perked up and stared at Mukuro expectantly. The brunet, however, wasn't expecting for the other to ask if they could walk home together. So he did like a normal person would. Blush like a red tomato.
"A-ah. I-I don't mind walking home together but I have to do some errands before I go home, though. If you don't mind waiting, would you like to come with me to the library?"
Mukuro nonchalantly shrugged, "If it means I could spend more time with you, Tsunayoshi-kun, by all means."
"A-ah…"
And off they went to the library, not before Mukuro placing an arm on the brunet's shoulder while his eyes trailed off to somewhere and smiled a sly smile.

Meanwhile, in the Disciplinary Committee room, Kusakabe Tetusya is currently trying to act normal but deep inside, his guts is telling him to flee before the raging beast aka Kyo-san beats the living daylights outta him.
Hibari Kyoya is currently emitting a dark aura and if only looks could kill, the right-hand man would be dead by now. Why is he pissed off you ask? Well, he wasn't like that when he entered the room to give the Disciplinary Committee leader his reports for today. The prefect's mood only changed for the worst when he took a glance for a moment outside the window and whatever he may have seen, it pissed him off to a great deal of amount.
Kusakabe flinched and stood erect when the prefect suddenly called out his name.
"H-hai, Kyo-san?"
Hibari swiftly stood up from his chair and grabbed his gakuran from the arm rest, "I'm going out. Handle the rest."
"U-understood!"
Kusakabe breathed out a sigh of relief when the prefect was gone and to god-knows where. He just hopes he doesn't kill anyone with that mood of his. For now, he'll just have to handle the paper works before he comes back and decides to bite him to death instead.

"Oh? So you have a younger twin sister, Mukuro-san?" Tsuna mused aloud while his attention was on the books being carried by his slender arm as he sort them alphabetically in their rightful shelves.
Mukuro was leaning by the shelves on the brunet's right side as he focused on his nails pretending to examine them for whatever dirt it may have latched on them but he was actually eyeing the brunet from the corner of his eyes. Mukuro is very much intrigued in Sawada Tsunayoshi since the first time he met him by the cherry blossom park earlier this morning.
"Yes. She will be attending this school in a few days. It was so unfortunate that she suddenly caught a cold the day after we arrived in Namimori."
"That really sucks. I hope she gets better soon then. I would like to meet her. She sounds very nice."
"Yes… What about you, Tsunayoshi-kun? Tell me about yourself."
There was a moment of silence before Tsuna opened his mouth after putting the last batch of books onto the shelves and turned his head to the side, then the rest of his body till he is fully standing in front of Mukuro, "Me? I don't know what to say. I don't mind if you ask me questions about me, Mukuro-san."
If Tsuna didn't looked away from the other teen to check the order of the books one last time, he would have seen that playful smirk grew wider as the other moved closer to him. Next thing Tsuna knew, his body was trapped between the bookshelves and Mukuro's solid chest (Tsuna blushed when he could feel Mukuro's chest pressed lightly on his small back), both of his long limbs were on each side of the brunet's head and Tsuna could feel the other teen's hot breath fanning near his ear. If possible, Tsuna's already red face turned even redder when Mukuro whispered his question to his ear, "Do you have a lover, Tsunayoshi-kun?"
"…"
"…"
"E-e-e-ehh!" Tsuna sputtered as Mukuro chuckled and moved away from the brunet, giving back his personal bubble space but didn't moved that far away from the blushing brunet. He's so cute. Mukuro smiled to his self. Sawada Tsunayoshi is indeed an interesting person.
"L-l-lover? G-g-g-girlfriend? N-no! U-uhm…!" Tsuna rambled on. W-what kind of a question is that anyway?! That's too straight-forward for someone you've just met!
"Kufufu. Based on your reactions, you haven't had any, ne, Tsunayoshi-kun?" Mukuro leaned forward again, almost nose-to-nose with Tsuna while the other is making an effort not to pass out from too much face-to-face moments with the older teen right here and now, "Would you like me to change that for you?"
Tsuna blinked, "Huh?" C-change w-what? And ohmygod, you-you're too close!
Mukuro chuckled softly as he leaned his head closer to Tsuna's flushed ones. So close Mukuro could smell the brunet's faint smell he can't quite describe but it made him feel intoxicated. Mukuro inwardly smirked in victory when Tsuna suddenly squeezed his eyes shut and has his small trembling hands gripping the ends of his school uniform.
Just a few more inches and Mukuro would have tasted those pink lips but he abruptly pushed his self away from the brunet after sensing a killing intent in the vicinity, swiftly dodging something that came out of nowhere and whizzed past the two heads and hit the wall so hard the wall broke.
From the abrupt (and a bit harsh) movement from the older teen, Tsuna snapped his eyes open (he didn't even noticed he closed them) to see Mukuro's head turned to the side, his mismatched eyes were fixated on something on the wall momentarily before he snapped his head to the other side to acknowledge the newcomer.
Tsuna's eyes widened at the thing implanted on the wall. Ohmygod, is that a tonfa?! T-t-that means…!
To Tsuna's dismay, there in front of them stood the almighty head prefect of the Disciplinary Committee, Hibari Kyoya, a tonfa on his hand and a dark aura emitting from him making everyone in the room flee from the scene lest to be bitten to death.
"For public display of affection, I will bite you to death!"
"Hi-Hi-Hibari-san! It wasn't w-what it looked like!" Gah! Why the heck am I even making excuses?!
"Kufufu. I haven't even claimed him yet. Why must you ruin the fun, birdie?"
Before Tsuna could comprehend what Mukuro meant, he felt an arm snaking around his waist before his body was pulled to a chest and then something wet made contact with his flushed cheeks. The next thing he knew, Mukuro and Hibari are making a huge mess in the library.
HHHIIIIEEEEEEE-?!
A/N: ...And there's a cliffhanger. Wao. You wouldn't even probably believe I wrote this chapter all in one day (even if I spent half of my time writing another 6927 fic out of nowhere). Part three will come out as soon as I figure out how to write action scenes. OTL.
If anyone wants to guess what's this new fic is all about, I'll give you virtual cookies if you guessed it right the next time we meet. Haha. This is going to be a two-shot though, so yeah. If you want to be spoiled about my current and upcoming stories, follow my facebook page - xryuchan27.
Kindly leave a review please? They make me smile after having a rough day :)) Thank you! See you next chapter~
