Chapter 4
Tsuna hasn't seen a sign of Reborn ever since breakfast. But, instead of being thankful, he was worried. What was that baby up to?
Afternoon was settling over the town of Namimori, Tsuna was walking towards home with Gokudera and Yamamoto by his side. He was also worried about the newcomer. How will her condition be tomorrow? How will she fare against his Cloud Guardian's might?
He heard glass breaking and saw the newbie jumping off the window with Hibari hot on her trail, wielding his tonfas.
"Wa—nani?" Gokudera stuttered. Tsuna sighed, oh dear, this is probably Reborn's fault.
What happened before that incident was this. Sachie was on her way to the Disciplinary Office when she heard bullet shots. She hurriedly ran to the area where the sound originated from. She found herself in the music room and the grand piano was in tatters. She stayed there a moment longer. And a moment was what Hibari needed to rush over to the scene of the crime. He saw Sachie's shocked face and didn't hesitate to lunge at Sachie for the event.
"Wha?" Sachie exclaimed, she had not expected Hibari, of all people to charge at her. "Wait, Hibari-kun! I didn't do anything!"
"Urusai, kamikorosu yo."
"Eh?"
And that's how Sachie tried to make her escape. She kicked a hole through the window and jumped off from the third floor. Both she and Hibari landed safely, much to Tsuna's amazement. Reborn smiled from the rooftop watching the events take place.
"Wait, Hibari-kun! I swear! I didn't do it! It was a baby holding a green revolver!" Sachie reasoned out. Hibari stepped closer, pinning Sachie to the wall, his face two inches away, and tonfas pressed against her chest.
"Prove it, or else I'll bite you to death," Hibari threatened. He failed to notice Sachie's face had gone red, her glasses, slipping away from her nose. She pushed Hibari away.
"It was a baby wearing a fedora hat and a suit! He went up the rooftop!" Sachie reported, while dodging the tonfa aimed at her. The sudden movement caused her to clutch her stomach. Her wound, after hours of carefully bandaging it, reopened. She swore under her breath. I soo don't need to fight right now. In just a few seconds, her lower body was soaked with blood. Hibari stopped and stared. He was confused, he hadn't expected his tonfas to do that much damage. Reborn furrowed his eyebrows.
"Hmmph. Weak herbivore," Hibari said, tucking away his tonfas, "I'll deal with you later."
This action made Yamamoto and Tsuna run to where Sachie lay, they too hadn't expected such an event to happen, but most of all, they were wondering why Hibari let her go so easily.
"Sachie-chan! Daijoubu?" Tsuna asked.
"Eeh, Tsuna-kun! Uhm… yeah… I guess."
"No you're not!" Yamamoto countered, "You're covered in blood!"
"Well… if you put it that way…" Sachie said, "Crap! I have to get home."
"We'll accompany you, just in case your wound worsens," Reborn said, appearing in the scene.
"Aa, arigatou Re-," Sachie said before she could stop herself. It was a good thing that her voice volume was low. In spite of that, Reborn's sharp ears picked up what she was going to say. They've been walking for a while now then Sachie suddenly halted.
"We're here!" she announced brightly, opening the door and entering the neat otherwise dilapidated house.
"Are? Sachie-san, you don't have any parents?" Yamamoto asked, curious to find out about Sachie's past.
"Ah, yeah. I heard that they died immediately after I was born. Ahaha…" Sachie replied, "I never really knew them so, I don't miss them… " There was a dead air in the house.
"Gokudera, Yamamoto, Tsuna, find the first aid kit, we have to treat Sachie's wound," Reborn ordered.
"Why us?" Gokudera protested.
"Because if you don't I'll kill all of you," Reborn retorted. With that last sentence, the three immediately started searching for the first aid kit and left the room far from hearing range.
