A Visit to Namimori Chapter 4 – Ryohei the Boxing Addict
Mira unbelievingly was not sure whether she should go. If she beats Ryohei up, Kyoko might be upset. If she skips the whole thing, Ryohei might harass her. She is still confused and messed up her hair in frustration.
"Mira-san, it's bad to mess up your hair." A voice came out.
Mira looked up to see Kyoko, who walked towards her. She sat beside her and smiled, putting her bag at the side.
"I know…but…that guy is your brother, right?" Mira pointed.
"Onii-san is always like that. In the past, he got injured because of me." Kyoko replied, sadly looking down as she recounted the incident.
'I see. Because of her, he got injured. That reminds me, there's a scar on his left temple before…'Mira thought as she looked at Kyoko with pity.
"Now, he's still fighting. The reason for fighting is for us, and our future." Kyoko continued, looking up at the sky. She still remembered the days where Tsuna and everyone went to the alternate world of ten years later.
'It seems like she went through an ordeal that made her mature. But…Only mentally, not emotionally.' Mira analyzed her friend's feelings. Kyoko smiled a little bit, hoping that no one gets hurt.
"Hey. Kyoko-san. Should I go against your brother?" Mira asked with conflicted feelings for her friend.
Kyoko pondered for a while, with Mira anxiously waiting for her answer.
"I want…" Mira waited impatiently for Kyoko's answer. "…you to fight him." Kyoko said as she went silent.
'Why does she want her best friend to go against her own brother? I wonder what had got into her…' Mira thought after hearing Kyoko's words. 'She doesn't seem to have anything against him, so why?' Mira thought again.
"Well…not that I hate my brother. But I don't want to be always protected. Besides, if you fight him, he will get stronger." Kyoko said after a moment of silence passed.
"And…the fact that Tsuna-kun tachi(Tsuna-kun and company) took the burden of protecting me, Haru-chan, I-Pin-chan, and also Uni-chan…It made me feel very scared because I couldn't fight along, and only could stand at the sidelines, seeing my brother being beaten up." Kyoko continued and clutched her skirt tightly.
'Seems like Tsuna, Kyoko and some others were in a battlefield before. War is everywhere, I could understand. The danger they were in, and the frightening sight of blood and more. Anything can become a war situation, perhaps the fight for something.' Mira thought, inferring from Kyoko's words that came out of her mouth.
"But…that's all over and we're living happily." Kyoko said, with a smile on her face.
"So I should go against your brother?" Mira asked.
"Yup! Girl power all the way!" Kyoko stood up and raised her hand into the air.
"I agree desu!" someone spoke up.
The two looked to the direction of the voice, and stood there was Miura Haru in her school uniform.
"I heard that Mira-chan is going against Kyoko-chan's big brother! It's a really dangerous and complicated situation desu! I agree that you go against him, and prove that girls do not deserve to be protected!" Haru exclaimed as she ran towards them.
Kyoko and Haru giggled; giving Mira more hope and changed her conflicted feelings to happiness. Mira now is more confident and knew what she should do.
"Let's go now!" Haru shouted and the three headed for the boxing club.
Mira really couldn't understand what Tsuna and his friends went through to make them mature so much, but what she could understand is that they have a very tight bond. 'Maybe Namimori was a nice place to visit, to meet such happy people…Boy, 'she' gave me the right decision.' Mira smiled and they ran to the boxing club. Mira opened the door, and immediately blocked her ears with her hands.
"TO THE EXTREME! MIRA YOU'RE HERE AND LET'S BOX RIGHT NOW!" Ryohei happily shouted to the extreme.
Mira has a problem – Boxing!? How can she box? She only knew how to dance and a little bit of martial arts.
"Nii-san! Mira can't box!" Kyoko reasoned with her brother.
"This is unfair desu!" Haru shouted.
"NO IT'S NOT. I DID SAY IT IS A BOXING MATCH, DID I?" Ryohei insisted. (No, I promise you, he did not say anything about a boxing match, check out chapter 3 LOL.)
"Can you please quiet down!?" Mira yelled amongst the word fight.
The three turned to her and the girls forgot that they are not the ones who's fighting Ryohei but Mira. Mira panted, and she is already tired of people who do things without someone's approval. Suddenly, Mira heard Tsuna and Gokudera's voices from behind her.
"Juudaime! Why are you so worried about that girl anyway!? Let her get beaten up by that lawn-head and leave her!" Gokudera shouted in disbelief.
"But Gokudera-kun, we can't just do that. I'm worried." Tsuna replied as he saw Mira at the door. "Mira-san." Tsuna said.
"Oh, it's you, Tsuna." Mira said as she turned to see him.
"Tsuna-san!" Haru happily exclaimed and she ran out of the room to meet him.
"Ah, you're here, Tsuna-kun." Kyoko smiled as she saw him.
'Kyoko-chan…'Tsuna blushed in admiration when Haru was waving her hand to him. Gokudera got Haru away from Tsuna and told her she's suffocating Tsuna.
"No I am not desu! You're the one who's suffocating Tsuna-san desu!" Haru replied angrily.
Haru and Gokudera were glaring at each other in the face, competing for Tsuna's attention. Mira blinked her eyes; was Tsuna really something to fuss about? He's just a ordinary boy, thought Mira. And besides, what was so good about him?
"Shan Mira, I think you should not underestimate Dame Tsuna."
'Wait a minute…this voice must be from Reborn…' Mira thought immediately and turned to see Ryohei with someone.
"Yo, Elder Pao Pao."
'HUH!?!??!?!Did I get my ears wrong? I thought I heard Reborn…' Mira thought instantly when she saw the baby with Ryohei, then continued, 'Wait…That's Reborn under a different guise!!!!' Mira realised that, and saw how everyone except Tsuna was dense to not see through the disguise.
"Umm…Are you Reborn?" Mira asked the baby who is called Elder Pao Pao.
"Nope I am not. I am Elder Pao Pao." Reborn said as Elder Pao Pao.
"Do you know that there's someone named Reborn?" Mira asked curiously, pretending to be dense.
"Of course not." Reborn answered as Elder Pao Pao.
'He's completely lying to her!' Tsuna exclaimed in his thoughts while Gokudera happily shouted that Elder Pao Pao was right.
"And it doesn't matter if you're a girl and can't box. I want you to fight him, freestyle."
'What the hell? A battle of Freestyle? WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN!?' Mira shouted in her thoughts, hoping it is not complicated.
"It means you can use whatever fighting you have." Reborn as Elder Pao Pao explained. "On one condition. You fight in that boxing ring." He pointed to one nearby.
'So is it boxing, or random things?' Mira thought again as Ryohei totally agreed to the conditions made by Elder Pao Pao. When Ryohei got his gloves on, Mira dropped her jaw wide. 'So it is BOXING!'
"No it's not. Just get in there, Shan Mira."
"Do you have any right in lecturing me or not!?" Mira retorted at the little toting baby.
"Do your best, Mira-chan. And you, Nii-chan," Kyoko supported Mira and her brother.
"Ikuze! Hurray, Hurray, Mira-chan!" Haru cheered as Mira got on the boxing ring.
'They seem to support her 100%!?' Tsuna shrieked in his thoughts as he saw that. Mira braced herself, wondering what this extreme guy could do to her. She kept a fighting stance, while Ryohei prepares for the fight.
"Battle…Start!" Elder Pao Pao shouted, and the fight started.
Ryohei charged at Mira, who ducked when he gave a punch. Mira then tripped him with her leg, and he fell.
"Nii-chan!" Kyoko shouted.
Mira then ran to the other side.
"Heh…Not bad.."Ryohei commented as he picked himself up.
"Oi, do you think this is fine!?" Tsuna yelled at Elder Pao Pao.
"It's nothing much. She had more than just that." Reborn pointed when Mira jumped over Ryohei.
"Eh? What the hell do you mean, Reborn!?" Tsuna demanded from his home tutor.
"That girl…she has combat abilities?" Gokudera stammered.
"Yup. But somehow, she blocked everything of my information system so I decided to research on her." Reborn informed the two of Mira's strangely appearance.
"FOR THAT REASON!? You don't think Mira is an enemy, do you?" Tsuna replied as Mira dodged Ryohei's punches.
Ryohei soon closed up on Mira. Mira then stretched the strings, getting out of the ring and entering it again without touching the ground through the strings. She soon slid past Ryohei and stood up. Ryohei turned behind, stunned to see such speed from a girl.
"Wow! Mira-san is awesome!" Kyoko exclaimed upon seeing that.
"Those are perfecto flexibility desu!" Haru complimented Mira's flexibility.
'Oops, I overdid that.' Mira thought as she gently dodged another punch. Yamamoto was passing by when he saw Tsuna and Gokudera inside the Boxing Club. He enters and greeted Tsuna.
"Oh, Yamamoto." Tsuna said as Yamamoto walked to them.
"What's this? Mira-san is fighting senpai?" Yamamoto asked as he saw Mira grab Ryohei's wrist and pull him away from her.
"Nii-chan…"
Ryohei picked himself up again and shouted, "This is great! You're fighting to the extreme!!!!!!!!!!!"
'Wh-what!? I'm not even hitting him for god's sake!' Mira exclaimed in her mind, shocked that avoiding can even be counted as fighting. 'N-Nii-san…Mira is not fighting you, she's escaping you instead!' Tsuna thought as he tilted his head in shock.
"OOHHH YEAH! I'M GETTING FIRED UP!"
Mira cringed as she walked further away from him. 'He's getting more paranoid!' Mira shouted in her mind as Ryohei made a upper punch on her, who barely missed it. Suddenly, another punch came and hit Mira on the cheek. Mira almost fell out, and she grabbed the lines instantly. She balanced herself by standing with her hands. Everyone was stunned as she slides back inside.
"Wow…Mira-san unexpectedly seemed to be able to defeat Nii-san…But since when she can do all those?" Tsuna said after seeing that.
"That's baseball material!" Yamamoto exclaimed happily.
"That's not the problem, Yakyuu Baka!" Gokudera yelled at him.
"Woah! That's really good, Mira-san! I never knew you are so good at acrobatics desu!" Haru exclaimed in shock.
'At this rate, if I show off too much, I'd risk getting found and assassinated.' Mira thought since she had to find her way out of this mess. Reborn smirked, and Mira immensely found out that he wanted to see her combat abilities. She soon grabbed Ryohei's wrist and did the same thing as earlier, but only to gently hit on his nerves system, making him pass out.
"Onii-chan!" Kyoko shouted.
"Don't worry, I only made him pass out. He'll wake up in 10 seconds." Mira instantly informed everyone, and surprisingly, Ryohei woke up.
"TO THE EXTREME!!!! Who won?" Ryohei demanded.
'HE TOTALLY FORGOT THAT HE LOST AND WAS FIGHTING HER!!!'Tsuna yelled in his thoughts.
"Onii-chan! You were okay!"
"Of course, I won't die."
'But I didn't kick him near the neck, which could lead to a death situation…'Mira thought as she opened her mouth in shock. 'PLUS, I NEVER EVEN HIT HIM OF COURSE! WHY WOULD HE DIE FROM NOTHING BUT AN ATTACK ON HIS NERVE SYSTEM!?' Mira surprisingly shouted in her mind.
"The winner is Shan Mira. Sasagawa Ryohei has passed out and therefore considered defeated."
'She just won without laying a single finger on him but his nerves…'Tsuna opened his jaw in shock.
"Omedetto gozaimasu, Mira-chan!" Haru congratulated Mira, who scratched her head in embarrassment.
Kyoko walked up to her and looked at her sadly. But she spoke, "Mira-chan. Thank you for accepting my brother's request and prove, us girls don't need to be protected and can fight." She smiled at her.
Mira brightened up and said it was no problem.
"Now, let's eat cakes for this celebration!" Kyoko mentioned, and soon, Haru and Kyoko pushed Mira out of the boxing club and headed for the cake shop.
When they were outside and gone, Tsuna still wondered what Mira could be hiding.
"Well, that went well." Reborn commented, taking his guise off.
"How can you say that after all this?" Tsuna shouted at Reborn.
"Juudaime! I agree with Reborn that that girl is definitely suspicious." Gokudera noted.
"Why would you think that? Mira-san is just a ordinary girl!" Tsuna asked Reborn for an answer.
"Just like how she sees you as an ordinary boy, Dame Tsuna." Reborn instantly pointed.
"…" Tsuna uttered. 'She really thinks I'm THAT ordinary since the first time we met?!'
"That's a total insult! Juudaime! Let me bomb the hell out of her!" Gokudera angrily demanded.
"Wait! Don't!" Tsuna shouted, trying to stop Gokudera from going on his rampage.
"Haha, how cheerful you two are." Yamamoto cheerfully commented.
"We're not socializing you baseball idiot!" Gokudera yelled in Yamamoto's face.
And so, the rest of the day was normal. Mira ate cakes with her two friends while Tsuna and company went with their normal routine…of course, which included Tsuna getting kicked by Reborn constantly. But, it showed that Mira is hiding something. What could it be, was a question asked by Tsuna and company.
End of Chapter 4
------------------------------------
Wow, that was unexpected. Mira didn't beat him up but owned him with one action despite it not being a ONE-HIT- K.O. And no, Mira does not know that Tsuna is in the mafia at all, so she's not assassinating him. Besides, with her goddamn abilities, she could kill him already.
Who is this 'She' Mira had referred to in her thoughts after Haru said "Let's Go!"? Is this 'She' an enemy? An ally? Who knows? And what did Mira mean when she could get assassinated by showing her secret? The next chapter will feature Bianchi, and soon, Mira will see Tsuna go Dying Will Mode and go around in boxers! I won't release the name, as it will change as it is being worked on.
I was gonna put cursing in there, but forgot that I freaking made this story a K+………..
