Now I know how the people who write such amazing stories with like 90 chapters feel. 0_0 I acknowledge them. :) I will try my best too XD Anyways, without any further delay, I present you guys with the 6th chapter!

Next Chapter: February 1st, 2013 or earlier (This time I promise to be on time.)


Chapter 6: Target, The Ranking Star!

I believe the last time I said that it was going to be a hectic day. It sure was. Once again as normal, I was walking home but I decided to stop by at Tsuna's house. Not for any particular reason. Just bored. I opened the door to Tsuna's house and noticed something. Why is there one more pair of shoes than normal? I guess I'd find out soon enough. I took off my shoes and laid them carefully in a neat row.

"Oh! Tsukiyomi Akane. Didn't expect you here." Said a voice too familiar.

I raised my head up to see Reborn drinking coffee in front of the hallway.

"I was just kind of bored and…I ended here somehow." I said while shrugging.

"So can I go in? Or is Tsuna busy?" I continued.

"Don't worry. He just has a new person to baby-sit, other than the dumb cow." Reborn said.

Well, he gave his okay so I walked up to Tsuna's room. I saw the kid he mentioned. It was a tiny boy with…light blondish-brown hair…holding an extremely heavy looking red book. Never knew kids could read those huge books so young. Unless it was a picture book which I suspect that it is.

"Ah! Good afternoon, Akane-ne!" he said with a huge smile on his face.

I walked up to him and bent down to meet his eye level.

"What's your name boy?" I asked trying to put on a cheerful smile.

"My name is Fuuta! I can't believe I'm actually meeting you in person! The person that has the number 1 ranking for people who have the worst fake smiles!" He said while grinning happily. I dropped my grin. Who the heck is this kid making rankings about me?

"Well sorry about faking my smiles but usually I always do. I mean if I don't fake smile, nobody would be around me and that would be miserable." I said to no one in particular.

"Uh…wouldn't it be easy to just smile truthfully or normally?" Tsuna questioned.

"…I've tried that but I end up making an awkward smile anyways because usually, nothing amuses me enough. Other than a good fight between random people. I think it's hilarious to see them beat the crap out of each other." I said while smiling honestly. Thinking about two random people beating each other with random punches and kicks makes me want to laugh. Tsuna sweatdropped.

"…Akane-chan is dark…" Tsuna muttered making sure that I would not hear it. Unfortunately I did.

"Did you say something?" I said with a lower voice than normal while glaring at Tsuna.

"NO! No, no, no. I didn't say anything. Hahaha…ha.." Tsuna stammered nervously.

I grinned.

"Then nevermind." I stated.

"So, what do you mean about my ranking?" I asked the boy named Fuuta.

"Oh! About that, I can rank anything! I keep in contact with the Ranking Star and that helps me make accurately rank things. I write all the rankings I make into this book so I won't forget." Fuuta explained clearly. Guess I was wrong about the picture book thing.

"Hmm…so that means that if someone were to get hands on this book-" I started but was interrupted by a know-it-all baby.

"They would be able to conquer the world because they would know everything that would be happening." Reborn informed while smiling at me. I narrowed my eyes at Reborn and said, "I knew that." He just smirked.

Anyways, it seemed like Tsuna was supposed to take this kid into his house. Fuuta putted on his best cute and adorable face and asked Tsuna to let him stay.

"But my house is already full! Don't expect me to accept by making a cute face!" Tsuna exclaimed loudly.

"But Tsuna-nii will accept for sure!" Fuuta exclaimed.

"How are you so sure?" Tsuna asked curiously.

"Because Tsuna-nii has the number one ranking for both the person who would never refuse a proposal and the boss that has no ambition!" Fuuta exclaimed happily while clutching his book on his chest.

"WHAT KIND OF RANKING IS THAT?" Tsuna screamed on the top of his lungs. I couldn't hold my laugh at that one and bursted out loud.

"HAHAHA! The...N-Number o-o-one boss that h-has no a-ambition…HAHAH!" I laughed out loud.

"STOP LAUGHING!" Tsuna said completely embarrassed at himself.

"You should be proud Tsuna-nii!" Fuuta chimed.

"ABOUT WHAT?" Tsuna said while glaring at the kid.

"That you actually made Akane-ne, the person who is ranked third in the people who hardly laugh!" Fuuta said while smiling.

I stopped laughing immediately.

I glared at Fuuta and asked, "Hm…then who would be the second and first?"

"Second is Gokudera Hayato-nii and first is Hibari Kyoya-ni." Fuuta informed.

Well…I guess that made sense.

I mean, Gokudera never smiles to anyone but Tsuna and he probably wouldn't laugh. Hibari….probably never does. Except when he has bloodlust towards something or someone. He might smirk and give a small chuckle. But probably, nothing more than that. Suddenly, the door bursted open and came in Gokudera, Yamamoto, Lambo, and I-pin.

"JUUDAIME! Why didn't you tell me that the ranking kid was here?" Gokudera yelled to Tsuna while making an almost crying face.

"Haha! It seems like your doing something fun again!" Yamamoto said while smiling.

"…You always smile whatever the situation is right?" I asked him.

Yamamoto turned to me and grinned back.

"I guess so! Smiling does make people feel better." He answered back.

I smiled. A Yamamoto-like answer.

"OI! Ranking kid! RANK ME! I want to know if I will be the right hand man of Juudaime!" Gokudera then suddenly yelled. I closed my ears and snapped at him.

"Would you shut up and lower your voice? It's really loud you know…" I said while glaring at him. He glared back but ignored me. I puffed my cheeks out a little and pouted a bit while Yamamoto just laughed.

"What's so funny?" I asked him.

"Nothing! It's just that it's the first time I've ever seen you pout and I think it make you look livelier and more cute!" he said without thinking.

I blushed uncontrollably. Did he just say what I think he did? Yamamoto stared at me confused to why I was blushing when he suddenly remembered what he just said. He started blushing a little too.

"Wait…I didn't mean….I-i-I er…." He started to stammer. By then I stopped blushing and smiled back. An honest one. Ha! I proved you wrong Fuuta! I can smile too! Without faking I mean!

"Thanks for the compliment…" I said. He stopped blushing and smiled at me.

Reborn smirked but nobody noticed him. Unfortunately.


What happened next confused me.

Fuuta said that Gokudera had no means of being Tsuna's right hand man. He said that Gokudera was more fitted of being a children care-taker like a babysitter. I tried to stop myself from laughing at that one by putting a hand over my mouth and trying to stifle my laugh but Gokudera must have still heard it because he glared hard at me.

I stopped laughing and looked straight into his eyes. I glared back hard at him. I walked over to him and he walked over to me. We glared at each other for a long time. At that moment, Bianchi came crashing through the door.

"Reborn. I have a suggestion for you." Bianchi said.

"Aneki?" Gokudera said and fainted on top of me who was just in front of him from glaring at him. I fell down on the floor of Tsuna's room. Bianchi was too busy with Reborn so she and he didn't notice that I was down on the floor with Gokudera on top of me. What is wrong with me and people falling on top of me? I must be cursed or something.

"Oi, Gokudera! Get off! It's heavy!" I started to whisper to his ears panicking than Reborn would see me like this and he would make fun of me again.

"I can't! If I do...I will just faint again after seeing aneki!" Gokudera said while trying to find a way out of the situation. I looked over to see Yamamoto and Tsuna talking together. I have to get out of this by myself.

"You are so useless…" I said.

"What did you say?" He said while suddenly standing up but he fell down again once he saw Bianchi.

"OH COME ON!" I said to myself.

This time, his elbows saved him from falling down onto my face. I quickly pushed him out of the way and scrambled out of the awkward position we were in. I looked over to Reborn and Tsuna to see that they were still occupied. I sighed and glared at Gokudera while feeling heat rush up.

How many times are these people going to make me blush? God, I should practice escaping from someone falling on me faster…

He glared at me but his eyes twitched in surprise. He stopped glaring but raised an eyebrow at me instead seeing that I was blushing because of him. I quickly avoided eye contact with him pretending that I was brushing the dirt off my shirt and skirt. He smiled in triumphant.

"Didn't know you were one to blush easily. I can use this fact against you somehow..." He said while smiling with an evil look on his face. I glared at him.

"…Not like I wanted to be this way but somehow I just find people falling on top of me a lot…and I hate it…" I said still avoiding eye contact. He just rolled his eyes.

"That's your own problem."

"Shut up."

Then suddenly Fuuta interrupted everyone's conversations.

"This time, I'll do a ranking of who Akane-ne feels comfortable around…and maybe that may hint about love interest." Fuuta said.

I froze.

"Wait, WHAT?" I exclaimed loudly.

Reborn smirked and said, "Go ahead."

I glared hard at him…how dare he…

"Fuuta…don't…" I started to beg a little.

"Does that mean that you love someone?" Reborn asked.

All eyes turned to me.

"No." I said while glaring at Reborn. "I just don't want people sticking their noses into my business often."

"Too bad…he is starting." Reborn stated.

"Akane ne's love interest and comfort ranking. Number 4 is…Dino-san." Fuuta started. Well I guess it makes sense…because he is someone I know. But I don't think I'll love him. No way. He's older than me by a lot.

"Number 3 is…Tsuna-ni." Fuuta continued.

I rolled my eyes. It's obvious because he is my boss so I would feel comfortable around him.

"Number 2 is…Gokudera-ni." Fuuta said. This time I froze.

"….he's lying right?" I said to no one in particular.

"It had always been right so I don't think he is…" Reborn stated.

Gokudera just looked at me and raised an eyebrow. I brushed him off.

"And number 1 is….a tie between two people. These two are the ones that may develop into romance later on." Fuuta said.

Everyone landed their gaze on me. Wait….I have interest in two people? NO WAY!

"Those two are Yamamoto-ni and someone named Hibari Kyoya." Fuuta said.

This time I bursted out loud.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" I screamed while blushing at Fuuta. Yamamoto was blushing a little when he heard that his name was in the number 1.

Reborn smirked and said, "Accept the truth, Akane."

"…I'm not going to believe this…it's not even true….I don't like anybody now." I said.

"Right…but what about the future?" Reborn announced.

"…I hate you." I said in a low tone while glaring hard at him.

"Fuuta you mean." Reborn answered back.

I was going to reply but was interrupted by a thunderstorm.

"OH NO!" Fuuta said. He scrambled and hid under the blanket of Tsuna's bed. Wonder if he was scared of lightning…

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"All of my rankings turn into nonsense after the rain falls…" Fuuta said.

"THAT MEANS THAT MY RANKING WAS WRONG? YES! I STILL HAVE CHANCE AS THE RIGHT HAND MAN!" Gokudera started yelling happily.

"That means that mine was wrong too!" I said having my hopes up.

"No. I did this ranking before." Fuuta said.

"What? Why would you do my love ranking…" I asked pouting a bit from the fact that his ranking didn't fail….Gokudera smirked at me again. I ignored him.

"Reborn-san asked me to." Fuuta said smiling innocently again. I snapped my head into Reborn's direction and glared very and extremely hard at him.

I was about to say something when I was interrupted (again) by Bianchi's voice.

"REBORN! There are lots of people from the mafia outside." Bianchi said.

I froze, trying to compute what just happened. I kneeled down and crawled to the window to take a look. All I saw were thousands of black umbrellas.

"…What the heck? There are lots of people in black suits with umbrellas…all black." I informed everyone.

"That's probably the mafia that is after Fuuta's book right now." Reborn added.

"What should we do?" Tsuna said quietly, almost whispering.

"I'll distract them." Bianchi said while walking out the door of Tsuna's room.

"…she won't betray us and run right?" I asked just to make sure to Reborn.

"…Sa, I don't know." Reborn said. I was right on the spot. Bianchi went outside and threatened them with her poison cooking and ran away leaving us gaping mouth wide at her.

"ANEKI?" Gokudera yelled still gaping at the fact that his sister just ran away from a fight.

"So, what do we do now? Bianchi just ran away from us…" Tsuna said while freaking out.

"I have an idea." Reborn said. All heads turned to him.

"But it involves three of us as a decoys. Are you guys alright with that?" Reborn asked.

"I guess so." I said a little suspicious of what his scheme would be this time.

"Haha! Sure, why not?" Yamamoto said cheerfully.

"Hai!" Gokudera said.

"Okay, so here's how the plan goes.


A few minutes later…

"…You're joking right? I don't this is going to work well…" I said softly a little unsure of what he is planning. I know he is. He always is planning something bad. Towards others that is.

"I think we should try it! It should be fun!" Yamamoto said.

"Che…I can't believe I have to actually carry an unusually heavy girl." Gokudera snorted. I turned to him and narrowed my eyes while smiling evilly.

"Gokudera-chan….care to repeat that? I wonder how you know when you haven't carried me even once before…care to fill me in to the details?" I said while smiling with a dark aura surrounding me. Gokudera froze and didn't say anything.

"Maa, maa…calm down Akane-chan! He's just joking!" Yamamoto said while trying to calm me down.

"Hmph…" I said while turning somewhere that I wouldn't have to see his inferior face. Yes inferior. I'm never going to admit something like "KYAH! Gokudera-san is hot and cool". Yes, never. Uh uh. Nobody can make me say something like that, even if my life is at stake.

"What about when other's lives are at stake?" Reborn said in my ears so that no one else would have heard that. Damn him and his mind reading ability…

Reborn smirked.

"Would you stop reading my mind?" I hissed while lowering my voice so that the other 3 family members wouldn't hear me.

"Too bad. No can do. It's the way I play this game." Reborn said while smiling.

"I'm not a game made for your amusement. Wait let me rephrase that. I'M NOT A GAME." I hissed a little louder than before. He didn't answer. Oh well, deal with him later. I mean, more important matters are on hand right now.

"So, let's do it guys." Yamamoto said.

"Fine…" I said while preparing for the worst day of my life…I hope they won't say that I'm heavy…Please no.


After a few more extra minutes than before…

(Third Person POV)

"Hey, boss. Should we attack them now?" said one of the men in black.

"…No. Let's wait for now." The boss said.

Just then, the door burst open and out came two boys carrying a blanket covered Fuuta. They knew it was Fuuta because of the scarf and a little bit of the red book peeking out of it.

"Oi! Want to play a game?" the boy with the silver hair growled.

"Haha! Let's start the festival now!" the other with the black spiky-ish hair said.

"You don't have to tell me!" The one with silver hair said and threw dynamites at the huge gang.

"AHHHHH!" All of them yelled as explosions started to happen here and there.

"They're going to escape! Run after them!" yelled one of the people.

"Right!" said the subordinates and they ran after the two boys.


Meanwhile…(Back to Akane's POV)

"Oi! When are they going to stop running after us?" Gokudera yelled after getting annoyed by two lucky bastards that managed to escape one of his dynamite explosions.

"I don't know…" I said while popping my head out of the blanket for air.

"Oi! Keep you head in or they will notice you!" Gokudera said while trying to push my head away.

"OUCH! STOP!" I yelled madly at him wiggling around a lot.

"Wait, Akane! Stop wiggling!" Yamamoto said while trying to get a hold of me but failed miserably. I fell out of their hands but luckily, I got out of the blanket in time an avoided contact with the ground which would have broke my face. Except that in the process of that, I exposed myself to the bad guys.

"…Oops…sorry guys." I said while brushing dirt off my skirt and shirt.

"Che…I guess I was bored too so never mind. Let's finish them off!" Gokudera yelled while charging at them.

"Agreed." I said while joining him.

"Haha!" laughed Yamamoto that decided to stay out of this fight.

"EXPLODE!" Gokudera said while throwing lots of dynamites into the middle of them.

"Sorry guys but because you guys are from the mafia, I can use weapons on you!" I said while taking out my twin swords.

I ran at the speed of light into the middle of them and swung my sword at them at an incredibly fast speed that left them standing still until they noticed that they were sliced to pieces. But they weren't dead. I was sarcastic…or not. All of them fell down to ground. Some were bleeding more than others. I smiled at the finish product.

"I call this product black mashed potatoes…with blood red gravy sauce." I said while spinning my swords in circular motion and putting them back into their cases. Gokudera stared at me.

"Nice naming sense." He commented.

"Thanks." I said back. Gokudera was also done with the enemies.

I thought to myself, "That leaves Tsuna…be safe…"


Meanwhile…(Third Person POV)

"Is this far enough now?" Tsuna said while panting.

"I think so. Yosh! Let's stop Dame-Tsuna." Reborn said.

Tsuna was panting furiously.

"I think I ran a life-time worth…" Tsuna commented.

"Sigh…you really are Dame-Tsuna…" Reborn said while shaking his head from either sadness or amusement. Tsuna was about to answer back when suddenly three people came out of their hiding places.

"HIE! THEY CAME!" Tsuna yelled.

"Now give us the kid back!" One of them said.

"What? NO way!" Tsuna said while trying to protect Fuuta.

"Like a wimp like you can fight…" Another said.

"Well…that's true…REBORN! HELP!" Tsuna screamed pathetically.

"I can't but….I think a bullet might…" Reborn said while smiling evilly.

"Wait….you don't mean…w-w-wait Reborn….why are you putting a bullet in your gun….NO! Don't SHOOT!" Tsuna started to panic and cried anime style.

"Too late." Reborn said and shot Tsuna with the dying will bullet.

"REBORN!" Tsuna said while ripping his clothes.

Tsuna ran into the middle of them and punched one of them right in the face. He kicked another one behind him. They fell and toppled over each other.

"YOU! How dare you! Give us the kid!" yelled the last one left.

"NO WAY! ARHHHH!" yelled Tsuna while landing multiple punches on the last guys face. He fainted right away. At that moment the fires died out and the other three came running towards him.


(Back to Akane's POV)

"JUUDAIME! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!" Gokudera yelled while running towards Tsuna.

"You did it, Tsuna." Yamamoto said. I just smiled warmly and TRUTHFULLY at him.

"Mina! You guys were okay afterall." Tsuna said.

"Of course we are. You think we are weak?" I asked him teasing him.

"No No! That's not what I meant…" Tsuna said while trying to explain himself.

I giggled as a response. Tsuna blushed a little.

"Tsuna. Isn't it a relief to have family members that actually believe in you?" Reborn said.

"Huh? Well yeah…I guess so…I'm lucky to have them." Tsuna said while smiling at us three. We just smiled back.

"We think the same, Tsuna." Yamamoto said.

"Yeah…even if you look like someone that I wouldn't like, honestly." I said emotionlessly. Everyone sweatdropped.

"What?" I demanded. "That was a compliment!"

"…didn't sound like one to me…" Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto chorused.

I pouted and turned my face away from them. It's not like I was trying to make Tsuna feel bad…anyways. Today was sure a hectic day. I'm actually secretly hoping that tomorrow would be an uneventful day…but no promises are made. After all…these guys mean trouble. Sigh…


THE END OF THE CHAPTER! :) Thanks for reading my story and please don't forget to review a lot!
