Target Period 02

His Prayer Time

"She doing fine at that class, Tsuna." A guy that wearing a fedora hat with green chameleon that sitting on his shoulder said to the brunet who reading his report. "What are you worrying about her?"

The brunet who is sitting on his swivel chair sighed in worry and the hitman known as Reborn saw through his worry.

"Trust your decision, also trust her just like how you trust her mother." Reborn suggested to his former student. The current boss bit his lower lip in worry.

The E class just finished at shooing away their devil new now former PE instructor Takaoka.

As celebration Karasuma gave his wallet to the class so they could choose any kind of sweets they wanted to have. Of course everyone didn't slip this chance to have free sweets and time with their now permanent PE instructor, while Korosensei is doing dogeza style so he could join in.

As ruckus happening due to Korosensei, Nagisa walk to Satsuki who just watching the scene.

"How are you now, Satsuki?" the blunet asked.

Satsuki blinks several times, completely confuse what in earth her classmate who have talent in assassination asking her how she is.

"I mean, you get hit by Takaoka-sensei earlier when you protected Kanzaki, right?"

Now she remember it.

First it was Maehara who got hit by that bastard teacher. Then with intuition she have, she sense that he will hit Kanzaki who let out the words that everyone wanted to tell him: We want Karasuma-sensei! She came to Kanzaki and instead she received the hard slap from that bastard.

"Yea, I'm just fine…"

'I'm used to it…' she thought as memory of a muscle man beating her hard.

"I see, that's sounds good!" Nagisa said in relief.

Satsuki smiled at him "Hey look here, instead of you, aren't I the one who supposed to ask you that… I mean you just have your first assassination on a real human."

Nagisa scratch his head, really. He also surprised that he able to pull it off. But he doubted that it will work again.

"Do you think I'm scary or monster?" Nagisa suddenly asked to her that makes her flinch, then smile crept to her face.

"Scare? I'll be more scare if you become a giant blue octopus like Koro-sensei."

"Hey I'm being serious here!" Nagisa pouted as he protested it.

"Hey I'm being serious here too, you know!" even her smile is still intact on her face, her eyes showing sorrow. 'I already met a real monster in human skin actually.'

Nagisa tilted his head to side showing his confusion on her sudden expression that showing into her eyes. He been seeing that gloomy expression on her eyes lately, he just hope it's not that kind of serious.

"Hey did you know? That kid is daughter of our boss from another woman!"

"Eh! It's that true? That's mean she's a bastard child!"

"That's right! And you know the Decimo just only took her because he is pitying that kid! I heard that even her mother left her!"

"Heh~ a useless child then!"

"It will be better if she just go and die, right~"

"Ne kid, why not go and die now~"

"Hey! Don't ever steal Ieyasu's throne!"

"Die! Die! Die! Die! I hope you die!"

Satsuki opened her eyes and sat up from her bed. She turn her head then look at her alarm clock: 2:00 am: it's still earlier, so she laid back down to her bed but instead to fell asleep her mind run back to the dream or nightmare she just have.

Everyone in the mansion, maids, butler, her older cousins, her grandfather; all of them hate her to the very core of their hearts.

"Ieyasu…" she muttered under of breath.

He is the one who hated her the most.

She cannot blame or more of, she's the cause of his suffering. Tears slowly falling down from her eyes.

She never wish it to happen to him.

She never wish for him to suffer.

She never wish for him to be in pain.

She never wish for him to turn into night sky.

She knew that she deserved all of that discrimination from them.

She knew it from the very start she started living on that mansion.

She knew that no one wanted her to be there.

She knew that very well other than those people.

She knew that, so no need to slap it on her face.

Tsuna let out his uncounted sighed since his daughter leave the mansion. He is really worried for his daughter and Reborn's report doesn't helping at all. She might enjoying being those classmate of hers, being that supposedly cloud arcobaleno, being with that government agent and that honeypot assassin but his heart keeps telling him to go and visit her. But would he actually do that?

He is the one who put his daughter in this situation with his decision.

"What are you talking about?!" his father Iemitsu burst out in anger towards Tsuna. "Why you didn't want Ieyasu as your heir?! He is your own son for f*ck*ng sake Sawada Tsunayoshi!" Tsuna and Reborn just continue on staring at him with empathy eyes "I'm the one who train him! You see how he grow! So why you still want that bastard daughter of yours to be your heir?!"

"That's the reason why I chose her to be my heir instead of Ieyasu…"

"You're being unfair Tsuna!"

"You ARE the one who being unfair Tou-san! She still my daughter and yet you neglected her! Treating her like trash! You even sold her to other family to make her their genuine pig!"

"It's just your reason, Tsuna? Then fine! I will stop punishi-"

"Punishing? Are you insane?! What Satsuki did to you, to anyone to be punish?!"

"You actually asking?! Since that child came here-"

"Stop it Iemitsu!" Reborn finally enter the stage.

"Why Reborn? Are you, by any chance, regretting on bringing that kid here?"

"No, I never regret bringing her for Tsuna. More of it, aren't you the one who bring Ieyasu's pain?"

"I am not~ I just-"

"That's enough!" Tsuna burst again. "Alright! If you don't like my decision as much as I don't like yours then let's settle this with the Ring battle!"

"Ring battle, huh? Alright I agree! Ieyasu will be my representative while yours is that bastard daughter of yours. But please don't forget that I'm the one who choose you~"

"I never forget that but, I will never let anyone to bring the Vongola Primo's Will into grave again."

Tsuna once again let out a sighed.

He is worried that his father might send an assassin to kill his daughter.

"Please, Shinigami-san protect my daughter from anyone, I beg you!" Tsuna plead as he buried his face on his hands. "Only you and Reborn could protect her." He bit his lower lip and continue "Please be safe Satsuki. Alice please protect our daughter!"

"Nagisa-kun~" the said blunet and their friend brunette look at Karma "I hear you really did a number the other day. I sure wish I could've seen that assassination of yours." Karma chimed as he smirking at his blunet friend, while Nagisa just smile at him.

"You sure have to see it Karma, but you are so lazy to stay your ass in class~" Satsuki said with smirk that match to the red head.

"Aww~ but I don't like that fatass at all!" Karma replied as he stick out his tongue with smile that still intact on his face.

"Believe me Karma no one does~" Satsuki said, and they both grin wide that match to their octopus teacher.

'That might have worked against a human, but in our classroom that doesn't mean much.' Nagisa thought as he remembering his assassination against Takaoka. 'Day in and day out, we all try anything we can think of, but we haven't found a sure way to assassinate our teacher yet.'

The whole E class with their target walking at the woods in the middle of heat season, wearing their school swimming wears. After of the long walk Korosensei present to them his hand or tentaclemade swimming pool just for their class only.

Everyone excitedly jump in at the pool right away,

'If our teacher does stuff like this that just makes him pretty hard to kill!'

"Hmm… that guy really does things for his class. He should have become a teacher who like me~" Reborn, the world's greatest hitman muttered of his breath as he watching the junior assassins enjoy the swimming pool made by Korosensei.

As everyone were in the pool for Terasaka's assassination attempt, Satsuki and Karma were stay behind. Karma is napping while Satsuki who wearing reading glass had been reading a book in Korean language.

"Ne Satsuki~" Karma suddenly chime as he calling for his brunette friend.

"Hmm? What is it Karma?" she asked, not taking away her eyes from her book.

"I just have bad feeling about that assassination attempt."

"Of Terasaka?" still reading her book.

"Yea… let's go? Let's take a peek."

Then Satsuki suddenly felt something, something that will bad happen. She closed her book and put it in her desk while standing. She then walks toward the redhead.

"Eh~ just say it, you just worried to Nagisa~" she teased him, although she also worried for their friends, after all she also felt something bad before that Takaoka come at their class.

"I am… not" Karma… is blushing… literally!

"Eh~? Tsundere?" she continued.

Karma stood towering over her, "I'm not Tsundere or anything Satsuki… now let's go!" as he started walking towards the door while Satsuki follow him behind.

As they walking into the woods they suddenly heard an explosion that coming from the E class pool, they both quickly run towards it.

Upon arriving, they both shock to empty pool that the only left were paddles of water and,

"I-It wasn't me!" Terasaka's voice rung to their ears, Satsuki turn her head to him and saw how he is terrify. "It ain't like what he said… iwas supposed to get Itona over here and push him in!"

Karma now also turn to him, "Oh, I get it… it wasn't your plan—you were just being strung along."

Then Terasaka suddenly grabbed Karma's collar "Look, I'm tellin' ya, it's not my fault!"

Meanwhile Satsuki jump down and run to where their classmate should be by now, she doesn't care whose fault it is, she just care for her classmates, friends' safety.

"Blame the guy who made me go through with it! He's why everyone got swept away!"

Hearing those words, Satsuki stop from her tracks, as she remembering a part of her past where her grandfather and her brother blaming everything to her despite that they are the ones who's in fault.

"Tch…" she turn back at to Terasaka "STOP BEING A WHINING COW!" she angrily burst to him.

"Wh—" all of the sudden Karma punch Terasaka to the face that cause him to fall into his butt.

"They didn't get swept away—you did. If you've got the time to go pointing fingers, try using it to figure out what you want to do here." Karma said as he looking down at Terasaka.

Karma the join Satsuki and they both run to where their classmates are.

When they arrived they saw Nagisa and everyone else on a cliff and been looking down as if they watching some intense show.

"Karma! Satsuki!"

"Are all of you alright?!" Satsuki worriedly asked to them,

"Yea but…" Nagisa answered then look down again. Karma and Satsuki then saw Korosensei who's fighting a white haired boy with tentacle.

"Is that Itona?" Satsuki asked, she never been saw Itona but she heard about him from Ritsu.

"Hai." Ritsu that in her phone replied. Then her eyes landed on Hara who hanging on a tree branch.

"Hara-san!" she is worriedly shock to see their classmate hanging there for her life, 'She will fall any second!'

"Is this for real?!"

"That's not much water. Is he really that powerless?" Kataoka said as she and whole E class watching the fight.

"It ain't just the water." Terasaka who finally arrived said "He can't go all-out 'cause he just got finished savin' you all."

Satsuki blinks and then smile crept on her face 'Karma's punch did wake him up, huh?'

"See? Look above him there."

"Token chubster Hara could fall at any second!"

'That's too much insult…' Satsuki though as sweat drop form on the back of her head.

"And to protect her and the others, Korosensei…" Kurahashi continued,

"But she's fat and heavy—this don't look good." Terasaka said,

"We've got to help her!" Nagisa demanded

"But how?!"

"Wait a second… don't tell me they roped you into doing all this!" Isogai realized the situation with Terasaka.

"That's right. Shortsighted guys with no vision and no goals are doomed to be played by smart guys like them." As Terasaka doing his speech, Satsuki is watching Shiro carefully to make sure Shiro would not do anything funny against Korosensei.

"So, Karma—why don't you try controllin' me?" Karma then turned to him "Gimme a strategy outta that shrewd noggin of yours! I'll pull it off perfectly save all of them!"

"Sure, but can you even handle one of my plans?"

'Wao!' Satsuki mouth goes into 'o' shape as she bath her eyes to the delinquents 'A smartass and a muscle head? That's a rare combination!' her lips curled into smile, then turn back to Shiro.

While Karma rip off Terasaka's uniform,

"You might die." Karma finished with that evil smirk of his.

"Oh, I'll do it, alright. I'm the perpetrator who gets results." The muscle head replied with confidence.

Korosensei is all swollen because of the water that surrounding him,

"Alright, time for killing blow Itona." Shiro said while Terasaka jump down in the water

"Hey! How dare you to trick me?!"

"Don't get so upset. We just pulled your classmate into it a little. Perfect for a fellow who stands out in the E class like you."

"Shut up! I ain't gonna forgive you for what you did!" Terasaka said as he removing his polo, and hold it in front of him as he calling for Itona's reaction. "Itona! You and me, one on one!"

"Stop that, Terasaka! He's not someone you can win against!" Korosensei try to stop his idiot delinquent student but he just received 'Stay outta this, octopus' from him.

Meanwhile Shira were removing her gray blazer and necktie, as she and the rest of the E class watching the unfolding events courtesy by Terasaka.

Shiro finally give order to Itona to attack their classmate, which Karma and Terasaka been waiting for,

"Karma-kun!"

"It's alright," Karma said to Nagisa "Shiro's not out to kill us students. And it's precisely because we're alive that Korosensei's attention is divided. Even Hara: she might look like she's in pinch, but Itona's attacks won't be aimed at her. It's like I told Terasaka: He'll hit you with a tentacle hard enough to knock you out, but you take that speed and power and hold as if your life depended on it."

Everything that happened it's just like to Karma's idea.

Shiro commanded Itona for another tentacle attack but then suddenly Itona sneezed.

"Terasaka's still wearing yesterday's shirt." Nagisa look at to Karma as he continue explaining things, "Which means it got a direct hit at point-blank range from whatever was in that weird spray."

"Eh~ so that's become the reason why Itona is now sneezing?" Satsuki asked, confirming if she able to follow him,

"Yep, exactly~ So, having made a chink in his defenses, our octopus… can rescue Hara."

Then everyone except to Karma jump down into river as part Karma's plan. And started splashing water on Itona until his tentacles swollen.

"You've absorbed a lot, I see. Your advantage is dwindling." The redhead devil delinquent started as he in the rock where water doesn't reaching him "So what now? We don't want you to claim the prize money, for one, your plans almost got us all killed, and Terasaka got all beat up in the process. If you want to keep going, we're going to need have a hardcore splash party."

As Shiro and Itona withdrawing and the E class celebrating, a sharp onyx eyes looking down at them as his head is covered by his fedora with yellow stripe and his hand were shoved on his pants' pockets.

"That boy, he's perfect to become Satsuki's Guardian." His eyes were fix to the red head student who is now all wet thanks to Terasaka. He then leave the place, as Shira look at the place where the man fedora wearer was.
