Anyways after all that...y'all know the deal, I don't anyone or anything but this idea and whoever is unfamiliar to you.

Chapter four: So...my ex is my teacher...?!

Haru sighed for the billionth time and listened to the teacher talk. Jeez how she wanted class to end already...did this teacher ever know when to stop? Besides she wanted to meet up with someone today.

A silverhaired grump. No big deal.

That actually might...still like her.

But she...she wasn't really sure. And let's not forget the fact that she does go to a different school than him. So if she wanted to...well TALK to him. She'd have to do it fast. Before Tsuna or Yamamoto or ANYONE got to him, since he gets..."sidetracked" easily.

Then again wouldn't you want to know the feelings of the person who basically swooned you at their Christmas party? Jeez, he left her a note crying out loud.

Suddenly, the bell rang and out ran Haru. She had some questions for a certain silver haired boy...


"Celestina-San! I don't think that all Japanese are addicted to fish!"

Celestina shrugged and rolled her eyes, adjusting her plaid sweater vest while she was at it. Haru on the other hand, was giggling away merrily as she and Celestina walked to the school's main building. Of course, Haru was on her way to her first morning class of the day while...Celestina just decided to tag along. Literally.

But Haru didn't mind. She actually really liked Celestina. She was close in age with her, a female and not to mention a full bred Italiano. In fact, Celestina helped Haru study for her Italian class, which was her first class of the day.

"Celestina-San, you saying that the Japanese love sushi is like me saying...Italians love gelato," Haru exclaimed while smoothing her brown hair back. "It's an assumption that COULD be wrong!" She giggled again as she watched Celestina again roll her eyes.

"Whatever pulcino*...so you excited? Today's your first day of Italiano! You get to be in a class full of foreigners and maybe people who just aren't smart enought to know their own language OR culture! Isn't that grand," Celestina mused on sarcastically, causing the brown haired woman to laugh so hard her whole face was turning pink. She then simutaneously wrapped an arm around her belly and leaned in, causing her other free hand to grab Celestina's shoulder for balance.

The streaked haired Italian blinked once she felt Haru's hand and chuckled lightly at the sight. "Oh Haru, you really make me believe that I'm NOT as comically challenged as I previously thought. C'mon pulcino, we gotta at least make you on time for your first class," she responded in a chuckle, watching as she tried to calm down. The two women were currently standing on the steps of the school's main academic building, a gentle breeze passing them gently from the students walking around them attending to their own school business. Haru then officially sighed and smiled at Celestina, alerting the woman that she was better and ready to head on.

"So are you excited," Celestina asked with a gentle smile as both girls finally reached the top of the steps. Haru giggled and blushed gently, nodding to show Celestina her answer.

"Yes, I am...I never even thought that I would be learning Italian! No less being here. It really makes me happy...!"

"Ah. I see. You know you stranieri* really make me smile you know? You're so eager. Meanwhile you have *gals* like me who can not wait to get away from this place."

Haru smiled gently at Celestina as they walked toward her class. She felt happy that Celestina actually liked her...even though they did have a weird meeting.

"Oh! We're here," The Italian woman exclaimed with a smile. Haru stopped in front of a room, with the grey classical patterned door opened a little, causing her to peek in gently. She expected a huge class but only seen about thirty or so students despite the room looking as it could fit about two hundred or more. She then felt a presence closer to her, realizing that Celestina was looking inside with her. She felt the woman sigh and speak gently, probably so she wouldn't hurt Haru's ears.

"Ah. I see...you have a class of stranieri*. That's good. You'll be pretty set if you just have the basics down from your high school or whatever."

Haru smiled gently and looked up at Celestina, about to reply a thank you when a sudden thought came to her head, making her gasp aloud.

If it wasn't for him...I wouldn't have...even thought about...this...


Haru continued to walk, despite the idea that she might have already missed him. The girl was determined to get some answers. No matter what.

She walked a bit faster, feeling a bit of sweat on her hairline. Even though it was January, it was surprisingly warmer than usual. The girl breathed in and out gently but in a hurried pace, her determination getting the best of her.

But she just HAD to see him.

He confused her, thoroughly, at his own Christmas party. Leaving her just with a note and a gift. And quite honestly she had no idea what that meant.

Not that the note wasn't sweet...it was. Very. For his standards. Almost to the fact that he actually cared about her.

That confused her.

He hated her. She was always in the way, he said. She was too annoying he said. She was always bothering his Decimo, he said.

And she felt the same way. She felt that HE was always in the way, HE was annoying, HE was a cocky bastard, HE was always in the way of HER winning over HER Tsuna.

The feeling was mutual...right?

But it wasn't always that way...did she still have...feelings for him?

The brown haired girl slowed to a stop, sighing gently as she recalled the events of the party. His apology...His actions...him actually trying to figure out something between them...his licking in a place he shouldn't have...

Not to mention the fact that...well he broke up with her. Before the party. Way before.

So what does all of this even mean?

Haru bit her lip and blushed hard, feeling her undies get a little moist after rethinking about what happened at the party...

"A-ah! Haru-chan...s-stop. She hates him. She just got back to hating him. She just stopped dreaming about him! She just want to ask about what does this mean. For their relationship. Yeah!"

She smiled and began to trot on, the barrette and bra currently on, the ones that were his gift to her. That way she could easily demand for an explanation. Easy right?

Haru smiled as she kept walking toward the male's apartment. She knew were it was. She used to be there all the time, for tutoring, for cuddling...and other things too.

She should've felt relaxed as she walked towards this said apartment. But she couldn't help that each step she took to get there made her heart beat faster...and faster...


"Haru?"

The woman gasped as her whole face turned a bright pink. She then backed away and bowed and apologized to the other woman. She was just remembering the times Hayato had tutored her. And he had on numerous occasions. Heck he was the reason why she was so smart now.

It still didn't make her feel any better though.

"Um, it's alright...you sure you'll be good?"

"Yes," Haru replied back with a slightly nervous smile, walking towards the door of the class. Celestina blinked and then sighed gently, rubbing the back of her neck.

"Fine...I'll meet up with you later, va bene*? Ci vediamo più tardi!*" And with that the other woman headed on her merry way, causing Haru to giggle gently. She was a very funny person, her roommate. Even if she wasn't the most...open about herself.

Haru sighed and clutched her satchel, her stomach fluttering in excitement. Today was her official first day! She was now a STUDENT at the University of Florence! Nothing could go wrong. The Japanese woman smiled in content as she began to take her binder out, to be prepared for whatever her teacher gave her. This wasn't high school anymore and it certainly wasn't Japan. She most likely might be treated a bit different...but she was prepared for that. Nothing could possibly catch her-

"Buone studenti mattina. Benvenuti in italiano 101. Non sopporto già le chiappe ...*"

Haru suddenly stopped what she was doing. She knew that voice. She sure as hell knew it...

And in all honesty, she was really hoping that she was wrong.

The Japanese brunette clutched her binder and looked up straight ahead...staring right into that bastard's smug green eyes. She felt her entire face flush as she just stared at him, still having hope that this wasn't him. This sexy sliver-haired male could not be her ex. It really couldn't.

The male smirked and winked in her direction, then turning his attention to the entire class. "Well...I'm pretty sure this is the Study Abroad class. Am I correct?" Once he received a murmur of a reply, he just chuckled and continued on. "Okay then. Well...I'm pretty sure that all of you at least know SOME English yes? And if not...well you're a big enough boy or girl to freaking tell me."

The male sighed out loud and ran a hand through his silver locks, causing Haru to shiver gently, before beginning to pace back and forth. "Anyways...Il mio nome è* Hayato Gokudera. Of course you dumb nuts must've figured out that I AM your new insegnante di italiano*. Yes I AM italiano or they wouldn't even think about hiring me."

He suddenly stopped once again and gave out a long sigh, before looking at Haru again dead in the eye. "But of course...I do know some other languages...Japanese is actually my second," the silverette drawled out with a smirk as if he was aiming it at her. He then began to pace back and forth once again, causing Haru's eyes to actually follow him this time.

"Yeah yeah I get it. You're like this guy's young. He doesn't know shit right? Newsflash dumbasses! You're in my country now. You NEED me to survive. So go ahead, DON'T do your shitty homework. Don't do my essays, my reading, my reports, don't do SHIT! And by the end of the day when you get kicked out of this school cause you have a FAILING GRADE in classe italiana* and you gotta get your estero* ass home...and you probably can't even get past the hotel without a fucking translator...we'll see who's laughing then. Hm?"

The silverette smirked as he felt a murmur of insecurity through the crowd. Haru groaned gently and rolled her eyes. Not only was her ex a teacher, but he was the hardest one possibly known to man. How did he even land this job?

"Hey," the male drawled out while grabbing a chair (a little too forceful for Haru's tastes...yet she felt excited at the same time) and sitting on it the opposite way. "I'm not the one who made this schedule. Anyways y'all speak English? That's out main language in this class. Ya know. To get all comfy. If you don't speak it or whatever other shit then, well better tell me today or I don't give a shit.

"Oh and...Miura Haru?"

The brunette gasped and clutched her binder. She even felt herself get visibly pink. Not a good sign.

"Stay a bit after please? I have some...information to give you."


"Hayato Gokudera!"

"What you stupid woman?! Don't come to my door fucking yelling like a screaming banchee! You're scaring people!"

"Y-you didn't answer Haru-chan's question!"

"About what?!"

"About the...about the party!"

Gokudera groaned and stared at her while running a hand through his hair. The girl blushed gently and turned away, noting the blush on his cheeks. Well there was at least some proof he remembered.

"The hell...you mean when I started to lick your pu-"

"GAH, DON'T SAY THAT WORD!"

The silverette just watched as Haru covered her ears, her coat blending in with the sun's rays that were beaming on her. He blinked and then smirked, since he did totally forget his girlfriend's pet peed: no saying THE "p" word.

Cause it was meant for kitties, not women.

Haru whimpered, her face distorted in disgust from the idea of him even saying it! And in all honest, Hayato did think it was kinda cute. In a strange...good way.

"Okay. Well...you mean when I-"

"Y-yes! Yes," The girl exclaimed with a visible red blush on her face, clutching the barrette in her hand from him. "You given Haru...two presents!"

"Was it bad?"

"Um...no..."

"Then the HELL YOU AT MY DOOR FOR-"

"KYAAAAH HARU JUST WANTS TO KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!"

Hayato stopped suddenly and stared at her. The girl of course, was aware, which was why she was staring at the ground. The silverette sighed gently, cursing to himself about how soft she made him. He was a right hand man for crying out loud...

Yet the opinion of his ex still...mattered somewhat to him?

The silverette scoffed aloud and laughed harshly, watching as Haru's pride began to deflate.

"Look idiot girl. I have no time for you right now...okay? Get a life...do you have on the bra I gave you?"

The girl gasped and looked up at Hayato's eyes, totally surprised by the question.

"Well?"

"Yes...?"

"...good. Everytime you wear it, think of me laughing at your breast. They're funny...and cute." Haru gasped once she heard the compliment, but couldn't say anything to reply. Gokudera had suddenly pinned against his door and kissing her fevertly as if his life depended on it. Haru moaned gently and melted into his arms, feeling a smirk on his lips once the sound was made. After a good 6 minutes, the two pulled away, panting and faces flushed pink. Hayato simply ran a hand through his hair and began to glare at her once again.

"Oi stupid woman...I don't know why I broke it off with your ass...but...wanna come inside? You wanted to talk right idiot woman?"

Haru suddenly felt her face blush ten times harder as she clutched her backpack and replied with a nod. "S-sure...I would...love to..."


The Japanese woman glared harshly at the ex-now-known-as-*teacher*, having her arms folded across and leaning back into her chair. Hayato on the other hand, was totally relaxed, sitting in his swivel leather chair which moved back and forth. He was currently smirking those amazing green eyes at her, although on the inside she was melting since he was staring at her...

"So, Miura Haru," he began slowly, holding up probably all of her records in his hands. The woman blushed and squirmed, despite how weird this scenario was, Hayato finally said her name instead of "stupid woman". The woman sighed gently and squirmed in her seat, her jacket was currently making her even more uncomfortable by the second...

The silverette smirked and sat up, still holding her papers in his hand. "So uh, the hell you didn't tell me you were coming here, stupid woman?" Haru visibly cringed, that awful nickname was now back. She sighed and frowned, turning her head away from him, showing that she didn't really wanna answer him.

"Can I go to my classes now? Haru's gonna be late."

"Sorry, I excused you from the rest of your classes for the day. Did it ahead of time. Thought it would be great if this damned woman would finally speak to me again."

Haru felt her mouth gape open wide. That bastard...she couldn't take it anymore. She wasn't gonna have this ass picking on her all year?! She had to graduate, she wanted to become a cook! A world renowned cook to be exact. The woman stood up and marched toward his chair, totally pissed off.

"You...! You...why the hell are you here?! I didn't tell you for a reason dumbass!"

"Oh, my little Haru's a big girl now. No more third person for her, Neh? To bad. Despite how fucking annoying it was...it was kinda cute."

"C-cute...?! WHY ARE YOU SO DIFFICULT?!"

"I learned that you love it when I'm calm. Cause yelling back at you doesn't get anything through that thick skull of yours." He smirked and put her papers down, leaning his head in his arm rest. "Don't act like you don't want me again. You were fucking all over me yesterday."

Haru blinked in confusion and cocked her head. What was he talking about-

Suddeny realization hit her. That bastard...he was that man who...

"Y-you...you were...in the bakery-"

"Whoa, I didn't play with your emotions. Jeez I just found it funny as hell that you didn't even know who I was? Fumogeno? Really? Stupid woman, I hope you know that means smoke bomb. Get it now? Gosh you're an idiot... besides, if I did wanted to toy with ya, I would've pinned your ass down and made you stay with me. Damn stupid woman, you forgot all about the way I act." Hayato signed and ran a hand through his hair again, smirking at her face she made. The male sat up then stood up, walking casually toward her. Haru felt her entire body tremble in some feeling...what it was? She couldn't even decide.

"Ah, so stupid woman does remember our cuddling sessions, hm?~"

She blushed, looking away in embarrassment. She did remember them, a little too well perhaps..."Y-you...y-you used to...y-you used to-"

"Run my hand through my hair when I was finished, huh?~ Couldn't help it though, you tasted real good ya know?~"

Haru gasped and looked up at him, noting that he was just a few feet away from her. She felt her heart pound hard against her chest her crop shirt and jacket feeling a little too hot now.

Hayato smirked as he watched her face turn bright pink. He loved to do that to her. Make her uncomfortable as hell. He sighed and fished for something in his pocket, causing the woman's eyes to open wide in confusion.

"Oi, Haru. You got that bra on right?"

"H-huh...?" That question took Haru off guard. She stared at the male in confusion, wondering why would that old thing he given her would matter...despite the fact she was wearing it now. "Um..."

"You know, I have no problem checking you-"

"WHAT?! HAHI! Y-yes I do! I do have it on okay?! Jeez, please don't do that, we're not even together anymore!"

"The fuck I care for? Doesn't mean you don't belong to me still. I was your first and only boyfriend. I kissed you first. I took you on your first date. I saved your little ass more times than I can count. I held you close when you found out Tsuna and Kyoko were dating. I saved you from perverts that wanted you. I fucking ate you out first! And I remember the flavor, perfectly. You can deny me if you want but I know you want me back. I seen it on your face when I walked in today. If you didn't, you would've yelled at me like you used to when we were fourteen. You would've given me a hard ass time. Haru, you said it yesterday to my...counterpart I guess."

"I went to the bakery Saturday..."

"What...? Haru! Damn it, you're always trying to get the details right!" Hayato then leaned over and started to mess with her hair. Haru gasped and blushed even harder. She was blushing a lot today...but what was that idiot man doing-

"You forgot your barrette. I found it a while back in my house. You threw it down when we officially broke up, remember? Well you look cute in it. So I found it, cleaned it up a bit and now it's back in that awful straw hair of yours."

The brunette gasped and touched the top of her head. Then she felt her face blush visibly a bit harder than before. Maybe he was right...maybe she did-

"Oh yeah. I forgot...I lied. You do have your classes today. All of them. Ha, I can't cancel them for you? Well I can but...nah. And you're finishing my homework. All of it. And I'll be at your dorm at 7:30 tonight. Wear something sexy. You'll love it."

"Aw, bomber boy's gonna take me-WAIT I HAVE CLASS NOW?! KYAAAAAH?!" The woman screamed and gathered all of her papers and books together, shoved them into her bag and then ran up to Hayato's face.

Before slapping his cheek.

"M-meanie...! N-now I'm...!" The Japanese woman blushed hard and sighed. She then grabbed her bag and was gone in about 12 seconds flat. Hayato smirked and watch the woman leave. The one that still was his. He sighed gently and sat back in his teacher chair and smirked. By the end of the year, he would have her back. And that mystery target figured out...

"Neh, let's just keep my hopes up about stupid woman for now. OI! VIENI IN* YOU IDIOTS," the male exclaimed as he watched his new class come in. He rubbed his temples in exhaustion and yawned extremely loud to show his boredom.

Cause this was going to be a long year.
