Target Two point Five: Smoking bomb Hayato, part 2

"What do you want from me?" Tsuna asked as she walked into the spot she and the boy had decided on meeting in, she couldn't help but to have that song with the same name play through her head (What do you want from me). It kind of distracted her for but a second.

"If someone like you were to be the decimo, the Vongola would be ruined." Gokudera said, piercing his eyes in the petite girl in front of him.

"Someone like what?" she frowned as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Gokudera took a step back, he hadn't expected that kind of reaction from her, but then again, he didn't know her did he?

He collected himself.

"A blind, fragile girl." he growled, taking a step forward, his mind trying to figure out if he should be doing this or not. "I'm the one fit for being the decimo." he jabbed a finger at his own chest.

"Why?" Tsunako allowed her arms to fall at her sides.

"What do you mean?" Gokudera raised his eyebrow. This girl was becoming stranger and stranger by the second.

"Why would you wish to become Vongola Decimo." she gave him a look, her clouded blue eyes glittered with an emotion Gokudera wasn't able to read. "Wealth, fame, power?" her voice carried a sort of strength, a strength that shouldn't exist in a blind person.

Gokudera lit one of those cancer sticks, Tsunako wrinkled her nose as he breathed out a large cloud of smoke. That really couldn't be good for him.

"I have my reasons." Gokudera growled.

Tsunako rubbed the bridge of her nose as she allowed an irritated sigh to escape her lips.

She gave Gokudera a look.

"You don't really want to be Vongola Decimo, do you?" she asked.

Gokudera frowned at the girl in front of him.

"Let me guess... woman's intuition." his voice had an annoyed tone too it.

Tsuna slowly shook her head.

"When you've been blind for as long as I have..." she turned her head away from him, directing her clouded eyes towards the ground. "You learn how to tell when someone is lying just from the tone of his voice."

Gokudera gave her a strange look.

Then he regained his senses, shaking his head before he returned to glaring at her.

"I will not allow a weak woman like you to bring disaster to the Vongola."

Tsunako rolled her eyed at his words.

"You're smart right? She asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"I'm not stupid, that's for sure." came Gokudera's answer.

"Which one does the hunting?" she lifted her head in his direction again. "The lion, or the lioness?"

She already knew the answer, Gokudera could see it on the smirk she was sending him. It's true that the lion is considered to be the king of beasts, but the one that does the most hunting is indeed the lioness.

He growled.

"You're annoying." he muttered mostly to himself, but Tsunako heard it anyway.

"Am I really?" she asked. "You must have had a terrible childhood to grow into that kind of person." she could feel the air around them heat up as Gokudera's rage nearly caused him to steam as he glared daggers at the girl in front of him.

"DIE!" He screamed as he threw two dynamite sticks at the girl.

Tsuna ignored her instincts telling her to move as the sticks closed in on her.

Just before they exploded, a shot rang through the air and the sticks fell to the ground without any other damage done to any of the people standing around them.

Tsunako quietly allowed a sigh of relief escape her lips.

"This is quicker than I expected." Reborn said as he appeared at the top of the trunk of the nearby tree.

Tsuna sighed, she brought her arms down from their position.

"You called him here, didn't you?" she frowned slightly, tilting her head in Reborn's direction.

Reborn could only smirk at his student's deducting abilities.

"He's a family member I called here from Italy." Reborn explained. Tsuna turned her head towards Gokudera, her head still tilted a little to the side.

"I knew you were part of the mafia." she rubbed the gash on her left wrist without knowing she did it.

Gokudera was suddenly reminded of what he did to her, a pang of guilt washed over him at the memory but he quickly shook it away. He didn't notice how Reborn sent him a glare.

The baby hadn't known about that incident.

"It's our first time meeting through." Reborn spoke, still not taking his glaring eyes off the silver haired boy.

Gokudera turned towards Reborn. Said baby wiped the glare off his face.

"So you're the hitman that Nono has the most trust in?" he asked, his frown never leaving his face. "Reborn, I've heard quite a few rumors about you." Reborn only gave him a blank look. "It better be true that I'll become Juudaime if I get rid of this girl." he pointed in said girl's direction.

Tsunako mentally stated that that was as off as it could possibly be.

Gokudera doesn't have the blood after all.

"Yep, it's true." Reborn stated, still wondering why Tsunako kept thinking in Swedish, does she have something to hide?

"You can try if you want to." Tsuna stated making the two males turn towards her. "I'm not that easy to get rid of you know." she gave the bomber a look that sent chills running down his spine. "Trust me, I know that for a fact." those words, she mumbled under her breath making the two men raise their eyebrows at her.

Just who was this girl?

Gokudera was the first to react.

"DIE!" He shouted once again, throwing bombs at the girl.

Tsunako's body went into instinct mode, turning off her brain so that the body could do what if felt like to get away from the dangerous situation it was in.

Tsuna jumped into the air, grabbing hold of the edge of the piece of roof that was just above her head. With great grace she slung her feet up and over the edge, landing on the rooftop out of harms way.

The bomber stared at her with wide eyes.

"Don't try to run away!" he shouted, trowing yet another set of bombs at her, only this time he threw them up at the roof were she was standing.

Tsunako jumped in the direction of the tree. She grabbed old of the thickest branch and used it to throw herself away from the bomber before she started running. Running as fast as her skinny legs could carry her.

Behind her, she could hear explosion upon explosion as the dynamites continued to fly through the air, leaving a trail of destruction behind her.

Let's hope a certain prefect doesn't catch them shall we?

Tsunako continued to run until she almost ran straight into a solid wall.

She was trapped.

"Damn." she muttered to herself.

"This is the end." she heard Gokudera's voice from behind her. She knew what was going to happen, she had to stick to common sense in this situation or she would be dead within seconds. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

The bombs went into the air, but she didn't move.

She could hear Reborn speak from one of his hiding places.

"Fight with your dying will." he said.

Not going to happen.

Just before he pulled the trigger, Tsunako sprinted forward, the bullet shot past her and the bombs flew over her head, blowing up the wall that had been in her way before.

She turned towards Gokudera with a smile.

"Thanks for the exit." with that said, she continued running.

Gokudera stared after the girl as she jumped over the fallen pieced of concrete. He was getting angrier and angrier by the second.

"Double bombs." he muttered before he held said amount of bombs in his hands and threw them at the girl with as much strength as he could master.

She wasn't able to doge them all.

About three of them exploded not far away from her and she got caught in it's destructive ability.

She flew through the air for a short moment before she jammed her hands in the ground, forced her body to turn before she landed on the ground on bent knees for minimal damage. Not that the same could be said about her clothing. The were ruined to the point beyond repair.

Gokudera had witnessed her quick get away and grew even more furious.

"Triple bombs." he muttered.

Tsunako heard this and stopped in her sprint, turning around to face the man that had just signed his own death sentence.

Just as she expected. His grip on that amount of bombs had yet to be perfected, and thus he lost control over them and they fell out of his hands, falling all around his body.

What Tsuna couldn't understand was why he didn't even try to move out of the way.

"This is, the end of me..." she could hear Gokudera mutter to himself.

Not going to happen.

"IDIOT!" Tsuna yelled as she charged at the young man.

Just before the bombs exploded, Tsuna had tackled Gokudera out of harms way. They were only a bit dirty from the ask and dirt that had been flying around them, but the same could not be same for Tsuna's clothing.

They barely covered her skin at all now, so much had been blown away by the bomber.

Tsuna grunted as she got up from the bomber.

Her body had allowed her brain to have it's authority back.

"What happened?" she asked as she rubbed her wrist. The gash had taken severe damage and Tsuna couldn't for the life of her understand why it was currently hurting as if it had been crushed under a boulder. She didn't know what she had done, but she had a pretty good idea what had occurred during the blank spot in her memory.

She turned towards the silver haired boy that was staring at her with wide eyes.

She suddenly felt angry with him.

Very angry.

She brought up her right hand and the next second, the loud sound of a hand colliding with another persons cheek rang through the air.

Gokudera stared at her with a dumbfounded expression.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" Tsuna yelled her question for the whole word to hear. "You could have died you dimwit, why didn't you get the hell away from there?!" she was beyond the point of angry, she was now furious.

Gokudera's face had turned to the side when she had slapped him, his cheek red as a tomato.

Touching his aching cheek he slowly turned towards the girl that was still sitting on top of his thighs, but that wasn't what was important right now. He stared at the girl with a stunned expression on his face.

He couldn't take his eyes away from the face that was still glaring at him with a furious expression.

He gentle placed his hands on her shoulders, making her face turn into confusion. He moved her away from his legs as gently as he could before he moved so that he was sitting on his knees in front of her.

"I was mistaken!" he suddenly called, bowing deeply in front of her. "Forgive me, you are more than fit for becoming the Vongola Juudaime!" he said all of this while his head was directed towards the ground. He couldn't bring himself to look at the girl while she was in that state, he would not forgive himself if he allowed himself to gaze upon her bare skin without her permission.

He mentally beat himself up for even thinking about that.

"Gokudera-kun?" Tsunako muttered, a little stunned at the man's sudden change of attitude even though she had known this would happen.

But knowing that something will happen is not the same as actually witnessing it.

Gokudera finally allowed himself to lift his head.

"I will follow Juudaime's every command!" he stated for the whole world to hear. "I will do anything, just say what you want and I'll give it to you!" Tsunako couldn't help but to blush at his bold statement.

But then again, maybe she could use this for her advantage.

"Give me your shirt." she said making the boy in front of her look at her in confusion. "I have this feeling that my shirt isn't exactly fulfilling it's purpose." she muttered the last part with a slight blush on her face.

Gokudera didn't waste another second, he quickly removed his white school shirt, leaving him in his red T-shirt before he moved a little closer to the girl and gentle hung it around her shoulders, not taking his eyes away from her face as she slowly allowed her arms to slip into the sleeves of the fabric.

Tsuna began to button up the shirt.

"Why are you so nice all of the sudden?" she asked, only it was Reborn that responded to her question.

"It's a Vongola family rule to have the loser serve as a servant under the winner." he said, taking out a small notebook out of nowhere.

Still fumbling with the buttons of the shirt, Tsuna turned towards the man that was sitting in front of her. She gave him a look.

"Are you okay with those terms?" she asked.

Gokudera blushed, there was something in the tine of her voice that did it, he just knew it.

"Yes, Juudaime." he said with a smaller bow. "The truth is that you were right." he admitted. "I don't want to be Vongola Decimo, but when I found out that you, a girl, around my age was going to be the next boss, I wanted to test your ability." he gave her a guilty look. "When I found out that you were blind, I thought that it had to be a mistake." then his face broke into a bright smile, even thought Tsuna couldn't see it. "You you are far more amazing than I expected." he bowed yet again. "I am more than willing to place my life in your gentle hands."

The last part of his speech made the blind girl blush.

"Gokudera." she said with a gentle voice, making him look up at her. "I don't want you to be my subordinate." Gokudera got a hurt look in his eyes, but that changed when Tsuna placed her hand over his. "I want you to be my friend above that, you understand?"

Gokudera could only nod.

Reborn smiled at the scene that played out in front of him.

This would be interesting.

Finally, he spoke up.

"Well done." he said, making the two on front of him turn towards him, his face was mainly directed at Tsuna. "Not only were you able to get out of a dangerous situation without the use of the Dying will bullet, again." he smirked at her confused expression. "But you also got yourself your first subordinate, well done." with that said, the bay went off to god knows where to do heaven knows what.

He probably headed towards one of his hiding places were he would continue to spy on the two, maybe he would even take a few pictures that he could use as blackmail for Gokudera in near future. Who knew?

Tsuna smiled, shaking her head before she returned to the buttons.

What do you expect? The buttons had never been used before so of course it would be troublesome to button them up.

Tsuna had just buttoned the last button of the shirt when she thought of something.

She turned her head towards the man that was still sitting in front of her. She didn't like the faceless head that was gazing down at her.

She inched closer.

"Stay still." she said as she brought up her hands towards his face.

"Ju-juudaime..." Gokudera stuttered as she started to lean backwards a little. "What are you doing." he had started to blush.

Tsuna frowned.

"I told you to stay still." she sent him a look that forced him into doing what she asked him to do.

Gokudera tightly shut his eyes as Tsuna's fingers hovered closer to his face.

Then, she touched him.

Her gentle hands that were smoother than silk gently traveled over Gokudera's face. He slowly straightened out his back before opening his eyes to look at her.

Her clouded eyes were actually directed towards his chest but that didn't matter.

Her hands continued to travel over his features, over his nose, his eyes, his cheeks, his ears, his eyebrows. When they traveled over his mouth, he couldn't help but to blush at the tingling sensation that she left behind.

Finally, her hands left his face. Much to his disappointment.

He looked down at her with almost as clouded eyes as hers.

"What was that all about?" he asked softly.

Slowly, Tsunako informed the man in front of her about her alternate way of vision. Just like she had informed Reborn just a few days before.

When she was finished, Gokudera nodded in understanding.

"So the reason you touched my face was..."

"So that I would no longer see you as Slenderman with silver hair." she nodded as she spoke.

They both started laughing at the statement, but that was cut short when a voice brought them out of it.

"Well would you look at that."

It was one of the schools delinquents. There were three of them standing there, all of them had their eyes set on Tsuna, looking at her with a look in their eyes that Gokudera really didn't approve of.

"Such a pretty half-naked girl." another of the three said.

"What should we do with her?" asked the last one.

"Gokudera." Tsuna muttered, making the silver haired boy turn towards her. "You're allowed to send them to the hospital, but please refrain from killing them."

Gokudera smirked as he got up from the ground.

"As you wish Juudaime."

The rest of what could be heard from that part of the school, were loud explosions not doing very well in hiding the terrified screams of the poor, stupid delinquents.


A little later, the two teens were walking through the school yard.

Tsuna had fetched her change of clothes from her locker, she had also been to the nurses office to have her wrist checked. She had finally handed Gokudera's shirt back and they were now on their way back home. No matter how many times Tsuna had said that she could walk home by herself, Gokudera kept insisting that he should go with her.

Finally, Tsuna had given in and they were now walking side by side.

Suddenly, a loud scream of pain rang through the air.

Tsuna stopped dead, her eyes wide as she recognized the voice.

"Juudaime?" Gokudera asked.

He never got an answer, Tsuna had already started running in the direction of the scream. All Gokudera could do was follow her.

They ran straight into the baseball field, and there he was. Lying on the ground as baseballs flew at him from the pitcher, he was clutching his arm in pain as he rolled around, avoiding being hit by the flying balls.

Tsuna's eyes widened at the sight.

"Gokudera turn of the pitcher and get the school nurse." Tsuna ordered but the boy in question didn't move an inch. She turned towards him with an angry expression. "HURRY!" She screamed in his face.

That sure got him moving.

Gokudera ran towards the machine, quickly shutting it off before he threw a look at Tsuna. She ran started to sprint towards the person that was lying on the ground.

"You'd better be fine idiot." he muttered to himself. "Making Juudaime worry like that." he then turned around and sprinted back towards the school. Couldn't ignore Tsunako's orders now could he?

"Yamamoto-san! Yamamoto-san!" Tsuna called as she reached the boy's side. He had stopped moving around so much since the balls had stopped flying, but he was still groaning in pain from his arm. She got down on her knees next to his head, gently taking said head in her hands before lifting it up to put it in her lap.

She gently stroke her hand over his forehead to calm him down.

"It's going to be alright." she whispered loud enough for him to hear her. "We'll get you all healed up in no time at all."

Yamamoto managed to open his eyes to look at her, but his face still clearly showed pain.

"Tsuna..." he muttered.

"You idiot." Tsuna said, shaking her head. "Didn't I tell you to rest for a day?"

"I'm sorry." Yamamoto tried, pain dripping from his voice. "Force of habit." he winched as his pain worsened.

"Shh." Tsuna shushed him. "Don't talk, it's going to be alright." she stroked him one more time over the forehead, just as he passed out from the pain just as she had a couple of days ago, only she had a feeling that the pain was greater for him to pass out from it.

"Please Gokudera, hurry it up." she muttered silently to herself.


A/N: I'M BACK!
