Chapter 4
The crowd clapped and waited for the next singer to get out. 10 seconds passed, and no one came out. ''What the hell? Where is the guy?'' everyone mused.
What they didn't know is there was a small ruckus inside. Shouichi, due to his fear of troubles, got stomachache again and currently clutching his stomach while the whole Millefiore set fuss/half-hearted cheering over him. The Vongolas tried to help too but didn't work much. The red head was still too stressed to come out to sing.
''Shouichi-san! It's okay! Please calm yourself! It's not so bad! See, I did it didn't I? Shouichi-san!'' Tsuna put a hand on his friend's back and patted him.
''Yeah Tsunayoshi-kun is right! Did you see us being awesome out there? Sho-chan must do it too, ne?'' Byakuran rubbed Shouichi's back. Surprisingly he helped a bit.
''Hey come on, aren't you the future boss of Melone Base? You are dirtying the face of us Millefiore! Get up!'' Torikabuto snapped.
''Boo Torikabuto! Come on Shoichi-kun let's go out there!'' Bluebell said, pulling Byakuran and Shouichi's sleves.
''Hey! The crowd is getting impatient here! Get rid of your problem will you! Hurry up!'' Hana shouted, not helping.
''Ugh... Sor..ry...''
''Here kid... Take this, it helps...'' Bianchi held out her hand, hand Shouichi a piece of sushi. ''I was saving this for Reborn until his performance but it's okay, I can still make more. Eat it.''
''Uh...thanks...''
Before anyone could take the innocent looking sushi piece away from the red head or even say anything, he's already chewed and swallowed it. Tsuna and Gokudera widen their eyes in horror while Yamamoto just looked surprised. The self-proclaimed right hand man didn't faint from seeing his sister because she was wearing a pair of black glasses that covered her eyes. Shouichi opened his eyes in surprise and sit up straight.
''It worked!'' He beamed at Tsuna then turned to smile at Bianchi happily. ''Thanks Bianchi-san! It tastes good!''
''H-how!?'' Tsuna stuttered out.
Bianchi just chuckled. ''But of course, it filled with my LOVE to Reborn after all. Now go out there and sing boy!'' She smiled charmingly to them.
''Y-yes miss!''
Shouichi blushed, took the mic from Yamamoto's hand then rush outside on stage. He fixed his Yuimei Middle uniform a little bit, feeling strangely confident. "H-hello everyone in Namimori-chu! My name is Irie Shoichi from Yumei-chu and I will be singing the song name "No Control". Yoroshiku!"
The music was turned on just as the red head done with his introduction. He tapped his foot to the beat. Bluebell, Zakuro, Kikyo and an illusion of Genkishi (probably made by Torikabuto) came out on stage dancing to the music. Behind them, Spanner and Gokudera emerged from a secret tunnel under the stage. Spanner was on something like a DJ set while Gokudera playing his organ board. The two heads bobbed up and down to feel the beat. Girls cheered loudly when they caught the bomber playing organ. Shouichi ignore it and brought the mic closer to his face.
Yami ka hikari ka kono dooa wo aketara futatabi modoreru ka
(Darkness or light? If I open this door, will I be able to return again?)
Sou yokubou ni rekishi wa mayou
(Yes, the history wavers by the desire)
Jidai Okure no debaisu ni donna ni aichaku ga atte mo
(No matter how attached I am to the old-fashioned device)
Sude ni tsunagaru basho mo nakute-
(Already, there's no place that it connects to, and-)
He pointed at the audiences and smiled, -Tomaranai
(Just can't stop)
The red haired boy did some light dance movements like the four dancers behind him.
NO CONTROL, iki saki nado
(No control, something like a destination)
NO CONTROL, dare mo kitto
(No control, no matter who, they probably)
NO CONTROL, shiranai mama susunde kita
(No control, without knowing, they walked on)
NO CONTROL, sekai no ishi
(No control, the will of the world)
NO CONTROL, shitagau nara
(No control, if I am to obey it)
Tatoe kokoro ni uso tsui temo
(Even if I have to lie to my heart)
The five waved their finger in "No" motion. NO NO NO, NO NO NO, NO NO NO… They brought their hands forward …TEARS…
Then everything just continued like the start with Bluebell, Zakuro, Kikyo and illusion Genkishi dancing behind a still-singing Shouichi. Spanner and Gokudera continued to control the music. The people watching in backstage watching with impressed expressions.
Tooku e sasou atsui kaze asu wo yume mite nemuru akari
(The hot wind beckoning to somewhere far, the light that sleeps while dreaming about the future)
Sou shuuchaku ga jyama wo shite iru
(Yes, the obsession is being a hindrance)
Mamoru beki taisetsu na mono kowashitaku nai sugita kioku
(The important things that should be protected, the past memories that I don't want to shatter)
Sude ni kaeru basho naku shite mo-
(Even if my place to return to is lost already)
Kakugo shite!
(-with a resolve)
NO CONTROL, ruuto mo ruuru mo
(No control, both the route and the rule)
NO CONTROL, kime rare nai
(No control, cannot be decided)
NO CONTROL, sadame datoka nageku mae ni
(No control, before grieving about destiny)
NO CONTROL, sekai no ishi
(No control, the will of the world)
NO CONTROL, shitagau nara
(No control, if I am to obey it)
Tatoe kokoro ni uso tsui temo
(Even if I have to lie to my heart)
NO NO NO, NO NO NO, NO NO NO, TEARS…
Shouichi moved to stand openly, his free hand out stretched to where the crowd of audiences like wanting to tell them a lesson of life. That motion brought all attentions to him.
Yume wo… shinjita koto to yume ga kanatte ku koto ni nani mo.. soukansei wa nai
(There's no correlation between having believed the dream, and the dream becoming reality)
Nanoni… hito wa yume miru fushigi na iki mono dane, soshite, boku mo…
(Even so, humans dream; what a strange creature... and I, as well-)
He swung his stretched hand. NO CONTROL, iki saki nado
(No Control, something like a destination)
NO CONTROL, dare mo kitto
(No Control, no matter who, they probably)
NO CONTROL, shiranai mama susunde kita
(No Control, without knowing, they walked on)
NO CONTROL, sekai no ishi
(No Control, the will of the world)
NO CONTROL, shitagau nara
(No Control, if I am to obey it)
Tatoe kokoro ni uso tsui temo
(Even if I have to lie to my heart)
NO NO NO… They continue the "No" motion with Gokudera did it too, making some people chuckled at his randomness …NO NO NO, NO NO NO, TEARS…
"Whoa! He did it so smoothly!" Tsuna awed at his friend's performance then turn his head to the left where the Millefiore boss is. "Don't you think so, Byakuran-SAN!?"
The young future Vongola boss panicked-ly look out to see the albino man already stepped out on stage, locking eyes with Shouichi.
"You did good, Sho-chan." He said in his mic.
The music continued to play, getting to the end. Shouichi smiled at his friend who is getting closer to him.
TA… TA DUM…
Suddenly, the red head widen his eyes, hugged his stomach. TA DUM… His face crunched up as he try to reach arched his back and fell backward. …TA DUM… Byakuran widen his eyes too. …TA DUM… TA DUM… Before the red haired boy's body touch the ground, the Millefiore boss swiftly lash forward to catch him. TA DUM… He close an arm around Shouichi's waist, the other around his shoulders. TA DUM… The hand reaching to Byakuran jolted then fell back, dangled above the ground.
DUM DI…..
Everything turned silent. Everyone looked at the two with wide eyes.
Shouichi suddenly gasped and glomped Byakuran's body. "M-My stomach… Ugh…" He whispered out. Byakuran's face looked totally taken back. To people watching from below the stage it looked like the red haired boy was hugging his friend tightly. It would have been funny to look at Byakuran's face that time but knowing the situation, the people in backstage can't laugh at the scene.
Meanwhile, the crowd started whispering.
"… Was that dramatic moment all acting?"
"The movements were in synch with the music perfectly!"
"Is he an actor or something?"
"Kya~! That looked so romantic!"
"So this guy has no control because of that Byakuran guy? THIS IS SO GOING TO BE IN MY NEXT FANFICTION!"
Squeal after squeal start to lighten up the air, followed by clappings. Byakuran did a quick smiley face then brought Shouichi in backstage with his famiglia followed inside. Hana quickly went out on stage. "And that was Irie Shouichi with the song No Control, a song about a boy who has an unfortunate past dreaming about a bright future. He loved his childhood friend dearly and can't control himself around that person…"
While the black haired girl was rambling nonsense to save time, Irie Shouchi was escorted by some men in black who works for Reborn to the hospital. "Congratulation Bianchi, you just mastered another new technique in poison cooking." The baby hitman said. The pink haired woman squealed in delight and hugged the life out of him. Tsuna just sighed, Gokudera scoffed and Yamamoto laughed. 'At least Shouichi-kun could sing the whole song…' The young Decimo thought.
"Oh and by the way, Tsuna…" Reborn squirmed out of Bianchi's grip to land on Tsuna's head. "There's no need for you to be here anymore so you will come with me. Your performance is too boring. You will learn dancing!"
"H-HIE!" Tsuna shreaked. "But I'm already singing tomorrow! There's no way we can come up with a dance performance in time!"
"Dude, I'm Reborn! Anything is possible!" Reborn miraculously changed his suit into disco clothes in just a mili-second and flashed his star-shaped glasses at Tsuna. The brunette found that ridiculous. "And since they're not singing tomorrow, your guardians are dancing too. Bianchi can play piano and she's smart, she will play the organ."
"B-B-but-"
"No buts for a boss!"
Reborn pulled Leon who turned into a gun and fired at Tsuna's forehead knocked the boy out cold. "REBORN! LEARN DANCING WITH MY DYING WILL!" A very familiar brunette in just his skull-prints boxers ran through the crowd and out of school. His tutor sighed, the boy didn't even ask where are they going to practice and just took off like that.
"Oh my god did you see that? Juudaime wore the boxers I gave him on his birthday! He likes them!" A very enthusiastic right hand man pulled Yamamoto's collar and shake him violently in his happy state. The baseball ace just laughed awkwardly. "Anyone knows what's wrong with Gokudera? He's been acting weird!" He asked, starting to get dizzy from being shaken.
"Ah, is it because I shoved my handmade 6 layers of marshmallow and ice-cream cake down his throat to make him relax before Tsunayoshi-kun sing?" Byakuran grinned making some people face-palmed.
"And now we got a sugar high organist. Seriously Byakuran-sama, next time just let Kikyo make your sweets please!" Zakuro groaned.
"It's okay. He, Yamamamoto, Hibari and Chrom are coming with me anyway. The rest are yours to control. Let's go!"
"Okay kid/Hai Reborn-san/Yes/Hn!"
The Vongola 10th generation went after Reborn who flew out on a mini Leon helicopter, smirking. 'YOU ARE MINE, TSUNA~' He thought happily already plan out ways to tortu- I mean tutor his student. When they are already gone, the Giglio Nero group came rushing in.
"Hello! Sorry we're late!" Uni was the fist to greet people while the others just waved their hands. "We were having an important meeting. Did we miss anything?"
"Uni-chan! I'm glad you are here! Unfortunately you missed Tsunayoshi-kun, my and Sho-chan's performances but don't worry, Dino-kun has his men recorded the whole show so you could watch them later!" Byakuran said cheerfully.
"Oh I see. So where is Shouichi-san and Tsuna-san?" The Giglio Nero boss looked around.
"Sho-chan got a stomachache so he went to the hospital. Tsunayoshi-kun went to study dance with Reborn-kun and his friends." He then faked a tear. "I'm hurt Uni-chan. Don't you want to listen to how I did my performance?"
"Eh… Sorry?" The girl was taken back.
"Hime-sama you don't have to, you can see Dino-san's recording later if you're curious." Gamma jumped in to cover Uni. "By the way, who's up next?"
"It's me." Kikyo said. "Watch and learn, puppy right hand number 2!"
The blond growled angrily but Kikyo just ignored him. He gave Hana who was still blabbing on stage an "Okay" signal. The Millefiore Cloud guardian gave his boss his electric guitar, who immediately wore it happily and tested it before giving an approving nod. "Good luck Kikyo!" Uni and Bluebell chorused. They don't have to perform so they will stay inside and watch. The light green haired male nodded and smiled to them then proceeded to head out on stage.
"And now ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our next singer Kikyo from Millefiore group with the song Kyouki no Hana!"
Claps were heard, happy that they don't have to listen to the black haired girl's ramblings anymore. Kikyo went out with Zakuro who plays the drums, Spanner with his "DJ set" and Byakuran with his guitar. He went to the mic.
"Hello…" The entire girls' body jolted at his voice whispering sexily. "… Are you ready to ROCK?"
HELL YES!

End chapter 4
.
Some how I got a day off and used it to write this new chapter. Personally I don't like this chapter of mine much because I put too much work in Shouichi's case and it doesn't sound very interesting. There were too many dialogues.
All: Thank you very much for liking this fic!
Lexie-chan94: I said there were hints, you can find some here and there but I think they aren't visible enough. I ship 5927 after all.
UnfadingPromise: Yes, Giotto-smexy-sama will sing. ;)
nanadive: Please read each chapter carefully. Hana mentioned Tsuna's song was named Tsuna's Life. It's his Character Song. You can search on Youtube! It's really cute! ^^
I need a vacation~ *drink coke*
