As he followed the three targets, Ryohei couldn't help but smile lightly at Yamamoto, he'd changed so much. The Yamamoto he had known was always serious... He froze as soon as he'd noticed, lifting his hand to his mouth in mild surprise.
-and why the hell are you still following us? !" his attention was turned back to the conversation as Gokudera seethed at him.
His eyebrow twitched, but he answered the silver head anyway, "I'm going to your class from now on."
Yamamoto and Gokudera threw him suspicious looks as he said this, obviously saying that they knew what he was after. Though it's not like Ryohei could read looks so he left them as 'I don't like you' glares.
"Really?" Tsuna piped in, "I thought for sure you were our sempai, nice to meet you...uh..."
"Ryo-
Ding Ding Ding Dong Ding!
They turned a corner and went into a classroom, Ryohei followed.
"Ah, you must be" the teacher glanced at him, "wait in the hall until I call you in."
The three turned to see Ryohei getting rudely sent to the hall, well that was their new math teacher for you, almost as bad as the last one. They went to their seats and waited for him to finish roll. When he was done he turned to the door, "You can come in now."
The door slid open and Ryohei walked up to where the teacher was in the front.
"This is a transfer student from Italy-
"What another one?" some students mumbled.
"But he's kinda hot"
"And really buff."
"But isn't he a little bit old?" they all turned again.
"Maybe it's the hair."
-BE QUIET!"
The classroom silenced.
"He was held back a year, of course he's old." Mr. Rude continued, "His name is Sasagawa Ryohei, and-
Tsuna bolted upright, "O-Onii-san? !"
"Tsuna?" Yamamoto stared, as Gokudera wailed, "J-Jyuudaime? !"
Ryohei blinked, "Uh...yes?" confusion evident in his voice.
"Oh you know each other?" the teacher inquired, "Well that's good at least you'll be able to remember where you sit. Your new seat is right next to Sawada-kun, now sit down so we can start class."
He walked to sit next to Tsuna, actually feeling a little awkward now. Trust Byakuran to get him to sit right next to the Vongola, he'd really wanted to observe them from the back.

Dino scratched the back of his head in frustration, wondering when he'd lost track of Ryohei. It had to have been a while ago, maybe even as far back as when they'd first entered the school. He sighed as he heard the bell ring again, well he'd just go to Tsuna's classroom.
He hummed to himself, the location of Tsuna's class was engraved in his memory by now, up the stairs and the second door to the right.
As he walked up the stairs he saw the retreating back of the person he was looking for...entering Tsuna's classroom.
He rushed up and listened from the outside of the door, he didn't want to interrupt. After all he was a Cavallone, and the Cavallones were a family of respect. He couldn't hear all that well so he pressed his ear to the door.
"Sasagawa Ryohei and-
"O-Onii-san? !"
Aha, that is cute little brother's voice! He finally said it, Tsuna looked up to him like a brother now! He'd told Romario it wasn't one-sided.
"Uh...yes?"
His disillusion was snapped. His eyes widened...seriously?
He slumped back to his car sullenly. Went down the stairs and out the door, every step as slow as the last. When he finally reached it he opened the door, "Hey Romario?"
"Hm?" Romario looked up mildly surprised.
"I...I came by myself right?"
Romario looked up at Dino's expression, eyebrows furrowed, "Of course not, are you okay, bossu?"
He sighed loudly, "I think I'm just gonna wait here 'till their classes are over..."
"Really?" Romario turned worriedly to his beloved boss, he was never like this. They normally just walked into the class and settled what they had to, or disrupted the whole class to just say hi. Receiving no response he simply turned on the AC, "If you say so..."

Students packed their bags and started getting up to leave the classroom, the final bell had just rung.
"Wait!" Mr. Rude yelled as students started to leave.
Unanimous groans were heard as one of the students responded grouchily, "What?"
"The bell doesn't dismiss you, I dismiss you."
"For the love of-
"SIT!"
Students sent death glares at their teacher while passively aggressively complying. Many sat with the packs still dangling over their shoulders.
"Ahem!" Mr. Rude cleared his throat, "You are dismissed."
"Are you fucking serious?" Gokudera growled.
"The heck was that about?" Students began filing out the room.
Gokudera and Yamamoto went to Tsuna's desk. Gokudera glared darkly at Ryohei, "The hell did you do to the Tenth? !"
Ryohei held up his hands defensively, "Nothing, yet."
The three lifted their heads at that, the 'yet' the loudest thing they'd heard him say, whether he said it quietly or not. 'Yet' was a word that implied he was going to do something.
"Eh?" Tsuna voiced their thoughts, "yet?"
Ryohei nodded, "Well I was sent to assassinate you."
"Heiiiiiiiii? !" Tsuna squeaked, and backed up as far as he could go before touching the wall.
Yamamoto sighed, he'd known it was something like this, "You know I'm not about to let you do that right?"
Ryohei put a comforting hand on his shoulder, "It's okay Takeshi. The people I was sent to assassinate don't exist."
"Eh?" Tsuna calmed slightly, Yamamoto blinked.
"The fuck? !" Gokudera growled, "First you just happen to save the Tenth from a fall, then you transfer into our class, then Jyuudaime calls you..." his fists clenched, "Calls you god damn 'Onii-san', then you tell us you came to assassinate the Tenth, and you call Yakyuu-baka" He spat out his nickname like it was a curse, "by his first name, and then you just go and say that even though you went sent to kill the Tenth he doesn't exist? ! You have some nerve you...you...bastard!" He pulled out a conjoined group of dynamite, about to attack.
"Ahh!" Tsuna scrambled in front of Ryohei, "G-Gokudera-kun, calm down!" He gulped looking at the dynamite, "You'll blow up the whole classroom!"
Gokudera panicked, "J-Jyuudaime? !" his eyes hardened, "Please move Jyuudaime, this bastard deserves to die!"
Yamamoto went behind Gokudera and held his arms back, "Maa maa~ At least let him explain ne, Gokudera?"
"Teme!" Gokudera rampaged, "LET GO OF ME FREAKIN' IDIOT!"
"Gokudera please, just let him explain himself, I'm sure he has a good explanation." Tsuna begged his right hand man.
"Che." Gokudera shook Yamamoto off before putting his dynamite away, "I'm watching you."
"Phew~" Tsuna sighed before turning to Ryohei, "I have a question first though..."
"Hm?" Ryohei quirked a brow, "What is it?"
"Are you..." he paused, "I mean you must be..." he gulped, more uncertain than before, "Y-You're Kyoko-chan's Onii-san right?"
Ryohei blanked, "A-ah...yeah..." he turned to Yamamoto in uncertainty, only to see his expression was mirroring his own, "How'd you...?" He shook his head, "I mean did you know her?"
Tsuna smiled a bright smile, making Ryohei's insides twist in guilt, "She's the reason I am who I am." His smiled brightened, "She was always going off about how her Onii-chan was always getting into her into trouble, but that it was always so much fun. She promised to introduce him to me someday. But one day she just...stopped visiting. The newspapers said she went missing"
Ryohei gulped, he hadn't ever talked about his sister's death, he'd never even openly accepted it himself, but hearing this boy talk about her... he had to tell him, "Y-You know she's...she's actually..."
Tsuna's smile lightened, "I know." His expression darkened, "I've always known. Though it's really just intuition." A humorless chuckle escaped his mouth.

AN: I know... I rush everything... I never really felt that way until I started writing this. I guess it makes sense that I wouldn't notice I rush things in writing stories when I'd never written a story over 2 pages before... and that was 3 years ago. Any critique on my writing is accepted, though I don't know if I'll be able to really fix my mistakes... I will try my best. Haha sorry T^T.
