Mochida shuddered at the mention of the cursed day. Haru tilted her head slightly, her face obviously displaying the emotion confusion. "But Valentine's Day is two months away... so why be chased now?" She asked. Tsunaru giggled nervously, a sound as melodious as a small cluster of ringing bells. Mochida was obviously soothed at the sight of his beloved sister's face but the harsh reality that he only had two more weeks to live slapped him hard on the face. Each year, Mochida was always unsure of if he would live to see white day.
"Mochida nii-sama, I thought you learned Martial arts?" Tsunaru asked as she bandaged up the scratches that obviously went deep enough to make her brother bleed, wincing as the blood immediately soaked the strips of sterilized cloth. Mochida sighed and ran a bandaged hand through his messy black locks.
"I did... but Fon sensei told me not to use it on innocent people, and those girls, however violent, only attacked me with pure intentions..." Mochida averted his eyes and deadpanned. "At least that's what I would like to think after today..." Tsunaru sweatdropped at the last sentence. After a while longer, the group who called themselves Tsunaru's friends, finally excused themselves and went home.
Tsunaru awoke the next morning, feeling rather refreshed despite the growing bad feeling in her stomach. She shrugged it off but could not help thinking about it as she got dressed for a day at school. She clicked her pins into place and smiled at her reflection. Seeing as she didn't manage to get to the classroom yesterday, because of a group of animals, today is the day she is officially introduced to her class.
"I hope I'll be able to make a good impression..." Tsunaru murmured to herself as she tucked a loose strand behind her ear, revealing a silver earring in the shape of a heart. "Giotto nii... I still miss you... alot..." Tsunaru smiled sadly at the earring and fingered it. Giotto has the other earring, he wears it on his left while Tsunaru wears it on her right. An urgent knock on her door snapped the brown haired girl out of her daze and she rushed out of the bathroom, tripping in her haste to open the oak door that led to her room. She was greeted by a very worried Sebastian, who almost melted in relief when he saw his charge.
"Tsunaru-sama, you are going to be late for school." That simple statement was enough to send the usually calm girl into a panic frenzy. Grabbing her satchel containing all the necessary books, she raced down the stairs and, as usual, tripped on the fifth last step and tumbled down the rest of the way. Ignoring the throbbing pain in her head and arms, she stood up hastily and raced to the kitchen to retrieve her bento, in which she thanked heavens she made the night before, and a slice of buttered toast. "Have a safe trip, Tsunaru-sama~" Sebastian called out as he watched his young mistress, race out the door after putting on her shiny brown loafers with a muffled scream. Yamamoto and Gokudera were surprised when Tsunaru raced past them, only to come running back to drag them to the direction of Namimori high school.
"Hiie! I could have sworn I woke up earlier!" She screeched as she dragged her two friends to the gate. Yamamoto and Gokudera both looked at each other, both with raised eyebrows.
"But Hime, we ARE early, we still have a whole hour before school starts." Gokudera informed his princess. The brunette in question stopped and stared at her friend like he had grown another head, not necessarily a cute one either. Gokudera showed her his watch and Tsunaru stared at it before she sighed heavily and sat on the ground. "Nanda... I'm not late after all... But why did Sebastian tell me I'm late...?" Yamamoto and Gokudera raised an eyebrow at the name Sebastian, that was the first name they heard Tsunaru call without an honorific. "Anyway, let's go to school then?" She smiled sheepishly and gently at both of her friends and the two boys found themselves unable to hold back the blush that bloomed on their cheeks.
Homeroom
Nezu sniffed distastefully, a habit that stuck with him whenever he saw something that was of no use to him, and this cute but weak girl in front of him was just that. From what he knew, she was a relative of Sawada Luce, Sawada Mochida and Aria. He huffed, a load of trouble, the Sawadas. Luce was an aspiring model and lead singer of the group, the Acrobaleno. The keyword being, WAS. She resigned a few years ago, officially disbanding the group and scattering the members all over the world. Sawada Aria is currently searching for potential idols after her mother resigned, with no such luck. Mochida was the most normal compared to the other two, he was a model student with good grades and a perfect attitude to match. Tsunaru smiled confusedly as her teacher seemed to be deep in thought.
"Sir? Where do I sit?" Nezu snapped out of his daze and glared at the girl before him, the insolence of this girl to interrupt his musings. To punish her, he seated her next to the most difficult person in class, he smirked in sadistic delight as he thought of how difficult Tsunaru's class life will be with THAT boy seated next to her.
Nezu was definitely not expecting for the new student to get along so well with the delinquent! She is currently smiling happily as her seatmate talked animatedly, something Nezu thought was rather out-of-character, to her about stuff only genii (plural for genius) would understand. He coughed loudly to get their attention before he officially begun roll call. After attendance was taken, he was interrupted just as he was about to start Homeroom. This time it was a certain baseball player. Nezu glanced at Tsunaru and sure enough, the cute brunette was waving cutely at her friend.
"Yamamoto Takeshi! Get to your seat this instant!" He misjudged his volume and his voice cracked in mid-sentence, drawing out muffled giggles and chuckles from the class. He coughed into his fist in a pathetic attempt to redeem himself before addressing the class. "As you all know, our school will be holding a Valentine's festival two months from now, lesson periods will be replaced with rehearsals since this year, our class is selected to perform for the neighboring school." This festival was rather special since two schools will work together to organize it. "Each of you will be expected to perform something, be it a comedic act, a dance routine, a song or a skit. The most entertaining group or person, if you decide to participate alone, will be awarded with a mystery prize that will be revealed after the performance is over."
Tsunaru hummed in delight. She turned towards Gokudera and whispered excitedly. "What will you be doing for the performance Gokudera-kun?" She tilted her head as she leaned forward, rather eager to find out what her friend will be doing. Gokudera blushed at the rather close distance between him and his princess but smiled nonetheless.
"I was thinking of forming a group with you, Hime, if you'll allow me to since this is such a huge honor!" Gokudera smiled nervously. Tsunaru brightened up into a smile, obviously pleased with the idea.
"Of course you can! Maybe we can get Yamamoto-kun to participate as well~" Gokudera sulked inwardly, he had hoped it would just be him and his cute princess. 'Wait... HOLD UP! What was that? Did I just call Hime... c-c-c-c-cute?' Gokudera blushed so hard he could swear that all the blood now resides in his cheeks. Tsunaru stared at him, obviously concerned. "Gokudera-kun, daijoubu? You seem really red... Do you have a fever?" She placed her forehead to his and frowned when she found nothing wrong. "You're temperature feels fine...?" Whilst Tsunaru fussed over her supposedly sick friend, Yamamoto pouted slightly.
"Tsunaru-chan, I want to join too if you don't mind?" Yamamoto's sentence was rewarded by the sight of Tsunaru's heavenly smile, he was as red as a tomato within seconds.
"Of course I don't mind!" Tsunaru smiled delightedly before a thought hit her, "Which school will we be combining with?" She asked, tilting her head like a curious puppy. Gokudera snapped out of his daze and calmed himself down before he answered his princess' question.
"I think for this year, we would be combining with Kokuyo high school..." Gokudera trailed off as he noticed the look of horror and fear that was slowly becoming more obvious each passing minute on his beloved princess' face. "Hime? Are you alright?" He inquired worriedly.
"T-That's... my old high school..."
"Hahi! Tsunaru-san~ I have some friends I want to introduce to you desu~" Haru squealed as she pounced on her cute friend. Tsunaru smiled slightly, Haru frowned, something was wrong with her cosplay mascot. "Tsunaru-san, are you okay? You seem sad, desu..." Haru pouted. "Who bullied you? Haru will give them a good beating desu!" She punched the air to prove her point, Tsunaru's smile widened slightly.
"Thank you, Haru..." Haru smiled energetically, obviously proud of having made her friend slightly more cheerful again. "Anyway, you were saying something about new friends to introduce to me?" Tsunaru cocked her head to one side curiously. Haru smiled brightly and nodded so quickly that Tsunaru was surprised that her head still stood firmly planted between her friend's shoulders when Haru stopped inclining his head.
"Let's go desu!" And with that said, the estatic brown haired girl proceeded to drag Tsunaru to where her supposed friends were. The younger brunette could only sweatdrop at how energetic her female friend was.
"So this is the famous 'Tsuna-san' I've been hearing of?" Tsunaru hid behind Haru lightly, blushing in embarressment as she saw how the older females of the group examined her. The one who spoke first had silky black hair tied neatly in a high ponytail, a few strands coming loose. She was dressed in a jet black jacket with red linings (Which exaggerated her... um... chest?) and navy blue skirt like Tsunaru, she was also wearing knee-length boots. The tall girl scrunitized at Tsunaru for a few more seconds before she smild slightly. "Not bad, you seem just like my brother, Enma. My name is Adelheild, you can call me 'Adel' if you like." Tsunaru smiled shyly as she nodded, causing another girl to attack her.
"OMIGOSH! You're so cute! Can I eat you?" A girl with flowing teal hair and doe-like emerald orbs squealed in delight. She was dressed in the standard Namimori high uniform only it was accompanied by a cardigan, which was blue with white trimmings. "My name is Midori~ Nice to meet you, Tsunaru-chan~" The said girl just sweatdropped and blushed at the compliment. Midori was then lifted off of Tsunaru's petite frame by a girl with layered blue hair, she had orange flame like scars (or tattoos?) on her right cheek, her maroon orbs scanned Tsunaru before an approving smile made it's presence known on her face.
"You're strong, I can tell." Tsunaru blushed at yet another compliment that was directed at her. "My name is Lal Mirch, just call me Lal." She made her way towards the blushing brunette and clapped a hand on Tsunaru's shoulder, startling the girl. "Let' train together sometime okay?" Tsunaru could have sworn she saw fire blazing in the background the moment Lal Mirch uttered those words.
"Un!" She agreed happily, Lal mirch's smile widened into a grin. 'She's not so bad, she's willing to train with me anyway, plus, she's not grabbing for my attention, that's a first.' Lal Mirch glanced at her companions and allowed a small smirk to grace her features. 'And it seems that they approve of her too.'
"For the concert, I was thinking of-" Gokudera interrupted Tsunaru's sentence by lamming his head violently on the desk, Yamamoto and Tsunaru stared incredulously at the silver haired teen.
"I'm so sorry, Hime! It's just... my sister is coming to Japan and I have to prepare for her arrival, so I would not be able to participate in the concert at all! I'm so sorry! I shall commit sepaku at once to repent for my sin!" Tsunaru sweatdropped but she paled visibly when Gokudera pulled out a stick of dynamite and proceeded to stuff it down his vocal cords. Tsunaru leaned forward and slapped the dynamite out of Gokudera's hand.
"G-Gokudera-kun!" She shouted meekly, and cutely I might add. "There's no need to resort to such extreme tactics." She smiled exasperatedly. The silver haired teen just bowed his head low, in embarrassment and so that Tsunaru would not be able to see his bright red face. 'Dammit! Why does Hime have to be so... ravishing?' Gokudera cursed in his mind. Tsunaru smiled obliviously before she opened her bento.
