"They've left. Time to get started. The girls start to follow them while the boys follow my instructions. Keep your aura down. Begin."

"Roger that!" He shuts his phone and dragged a snot nosed brat (Lambo) out of bed.

"Let's go disturb Dame-Tsuna." Reborn muttered as he left the house.


Chapter 7

Both of them walked side by side quietly on the bustling streets. Both of them avoided eye contact, even though either one of them will glance up once in a while. The silence was awkward, they are out on a 'date' but they were not interacting at all. Sometimes, people will give them some glances but they both know better than to respond to the gazes.

After walking past an oh-so-familiar cake shop, Kyoko tried to strike up a conversation.

"Tsuna-kun?"

"Hm?"

"I suppose you're hungry now?" As if on cue, Tsuna's stomach growled loudly before Tsuna can even try to hide it. Kyoko chuckled as she grabs Tsuna's hand and ran into the cake shop.

As they enter the cake shop, Tsuna suddenly stopped in his tracks. A drop of sweat ran down his forehead. He surveyed the area frantically, getting Kyoko's attention. "What's going on Tsuna?" Tsuna relaxed but his eyes held the tension. He hits his head for a second before the headache gets worst. "Nothing! Let's get in shall we?" Kyoko beamed as she held Tsuna's hands and dragged him into the shop.

They spent five minutes choosing what they want to eat and drink, another five minutes of waiting for them and thirty to forty minutes of eating and chatting with each other. Just then, Tsuna straightened himself stiffly, surprising his date-of-the-day. His eyes widened as pain shot through his head. He clutched tightly onto his head and Kyoko just stared worriedly, not sure what to do.

"Kyoko, let's go somewhere else shall we?" Tsuna tried to shrug off the pain, much to his relief that his head is not throbbing as badly. "Sure but are you sure you're fine?"

"I'm fine, really, thank you." Kyoko relaxes a bit and suggested nicely, which Tsuna does not object to. "Let's go to the amusement park then. And we'll play to our hearts' content for the day!"

Both of them walked to the Namimori Amusement park (There's only one, unfortunately, in their peaceful little town). At first, Tsuna was reluctant to enter but he was quickly pulled in by Kyoko. For the remaining morning until one in the afternoon, Kyoko has dragged Tsuna to various different rides and they have both tire themselves out. They quickly find a bench and sat down, still laughing at the jokes that they went by.

Kyoko then suddenly stood up, startling Tsuna. "Is that Gokudera and Haru?" She exclaimed as she pointed it to the two that is bickering with each other. Tsuna slaps himself on his forehead. This is definitely Reborn's doing. He walks towards the drink stall near-by and bought drinks for both of themselves.

"Arah, thank you Tsuna-kun!" Kyoko brings the straw to her mouth as she happily sucks the content in it.

"No problem! Let's sit back and enjoy the show." Tsuna gleams as he thought of what he just said. Is it me or am I turning rather sadistic?

"Ah? You're not going to help them or at least break them apart?"

"Not intending to." Tsuna smirked. Just then, Haru went ahead and slapped Gokudera. The two of them stood there, stunned, as they watch Haru run in the opposite direction. "On second thoughts, maybe I will confront Gokudera. Chase after Haru for me?"

"Okay!" Tsuna walked to Gokudera while Kyoko chased Haru.


"Part one is successful. Now we'll wait to commence the second." Reborn chirped through his phone. He looked through his Leon-Binoculars and smirked. He can tell that both Gokudera and Haru are laughing inside while running from the scene. He puts the binoculars towards his eyes again. He decides to feast his eyes at the two girls.

Flashback

"Gokudera, Haru, they have entered the amusement park. They are bound to rest after sometime so separate them once you see them." A squeaky voice said through the phone.

"Okay" Both of them replied. Gokudera and Haru were fortunately near-by each other so they met very quickly. Both of them scowled at meeting each other and silence ensued. They walked side by side silently until Haru spoke up. "So what's the plan?"

"I feel like I'm breaching privacy just by going after them." Gokudera sighs. Suddenly, Haru laughs really loud, attracting many people's attention, which was shrugged off later. Gokudera stares back in amusement. "We aren't really breaching privacy. Besides, in the end, the date won't be entirely destroyed. So I say we find them, rake up an argument and get them to chase after us."

"That's…" Haru posed in front of Gokudera and stretched out a victory sign with her fingers. "Quite a simple idea and seems workable?"

"Let's… just start." Haru waved off and walked, leaving Gokudera to catch up to her slowly.


"Haru-chan! Wait up!" Kyoko shouted, trying to get her voice across the noisy crowd. Haru kept up with her fake tears streaming down her cheeks and continued to run, ignoring the poor girl's loud shouts. Her hands tighten near her chest as she dashes forward into the oncoming crowd, feeling bad about teasing her friend.

She tried in her sloppiest manner to lose Kyoko so that the other can catch up. She weaved through the crowd slowly, earning the attention of people when she cried her crocodile tears. Based on the people's reaction, Kyoko knows exactly where her friend went. Both of them soon exited the crowd and panted. Kyoko catches her breath and quickly ran forward and grabbed her friend's hand.

Haru gathered her act up and tried to wriggle her wrist out of Kyoko's tight hold. She screamed at the top of her lungs. "Let go! Kyoko, let go!" She kept trying to tug her hand away from Kyoko but failed.

"Come on Haru-chan, listen to me!" Kyoko shouted, getting Haru's attention immediately. Her tears stopped flowing from her red swollen eyes as she turned to face her. She stops her (absolutely necessary) struggling (to make things look realistic) as she stares into the worried eyes of Kyoko. "Tell me, what happened."

Haru tried to make her explanation as realistic as possible and Kyoko listened to the reasoning without missing any information. After Haru explained everything, she stares at the floor, waiting for Kyoko to say something.

Kyoko contemplated slowly as she comes to her own conclusion. "What I think you should do now is to say sorry to Gokudera-kun. After all, he may not mean what he say." Haru continues to draw circles with her fingers on her knees. "You're right, I should."

Kyoko smiled. "Well then, let's go!" She whips out her phone and called Tsuna.


"Really, Kyoko? ... Right, meet you there then!" Tsuna shuts his phone and faces Gokudera. He then gives Gokudera a smug smile (which Gokudera did not know that he can do but he knows Giotto can) and his eyes flashed orange. "Now, G. Let's go and apologize to Haru~" Tsuna said with a light and happy tone in his voice. Gokudera shuddered at recalling a memory of sadistic Giotto. I remember Giotto using this tone to get the two stubborn ones to cooperate with him and it worked miracles. The last time I checked, he had the two of them working together in skirts for a mission. Or was it dresses? "Ugh..." Tsuna then looks at Gokudera. "What's wrong, G?"

Gokudera snaps back. "N-nothing! Nothing's wrong, Giotto." Tsuna eyed him more suspiciously, narrowing his eyes at the nervous looking friend. "Hey, I know what's going on so you better tell me. Who the heck will try to lie at me especially when I have this." Tsuna points at his head.

"So what do you know?" Gokudera asked as he clasps his clammy hands and rubbed them together. "This is set up by Reborn isn't it?" Tsuna deadpanned. Gokudera slams his fist against the palm. "Damn your demonic intuition!"

"It's not demonic! It's hyper! And Cozart gave the name (1) and I like it so don't you dare change it!" Tsuna snaps. Gokudera then laughs it off but his face turned sour immediately. Tsuna noticed what he said and bowed his head. Both of them looked up and asked in unison, "who's Cozart?"

"All I remember is a red head with red eyes with a compass like shape in the eyes." Gokudera recalled as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Tsuna nods his head in agreement. However, they shrugged it off.

"Anyway, let's go meet the girls first!" Tsuna exclaimed as he grabbed the bomber's wrist and starts darting through the crowd. Gokudera kept up with the pace and smiled to himself. Just like the good old days, wait, I sound like an old man now!


Soon, the two of them arrived in front of a water fountain and met the two girls there. Haru's head continued to look down while Kyoko beamed at Tsuna. Gokudera kept his scowl and Tsuna smiled at the two girls.

His gaze turned gentle on the two and he spoke up to the two of them in a sweet voice. "Now both of you, apologize to each other and forgive one another." Gokudera was definitely reluctant but he stretched out his hand. "Sorry." Haru returned the apology with another one. After the exchange, Tsuna laughed. "Thank you for the co-operation. Now let me bring the whole cast on stage." They stared at him. Gokudera and Haru flustered inside.

Tsuna then looks towards the bushes and the pillars near-by. He smirked and hollered, "I know you are there so come out before I catch you!"

The others sent him a puzzled look. Tsuna continued when no one appeared. "I know the plan, who the heck set the 'game' up and who are involved in the plot. So come out before I get you." The bushes then rustled and two faces appeared, scaring the group. A heartily laughter and a scowl was heard before the other two appeared.

"Hie! Reborn, I know I said to come out but can you do it properly?" Tsuna yelped as Reborn dragged Lambo out. "No can do. I'm the world's greatest hitman and I will do things as I please." Lambo moved up to Tsuna and starts asking for candy, which the latter replied that he has none but will buy an ice-cream for him later. Lambo whooped for joy.

Yamamoto laughed nervously and scratches the back of his head. "Ahahaha, we got found out. Sorry Tsuna, for tailing you like that." Gokudera smacks Yamamoto on his back, "be polite to him! You flute frea-" Gokudera starts to curse under his breath for the error made. The others shot him looks. "Language, Gokudera." Tsuna hissed at him. Now it is Tsuna's turn to get the stares.

Hana was the first to speak up. "Sawada..." Tsuna looks at her. "You are like... Possessed." Tsuna widens his eyes in surprise before he cracked. He started to laugh real loud and could hardly stop without the help of Gokudera and Yamamoto. "Hahaha...ha...ha. Haven't laughed that hard for a long time now." He directs his gaze to Hana. "If you'll like to put it that way, I don't mind. Call it split personality or simply insane but I assure you, I'm still me."

"Definitely possessed. Sawada has never been good with words." Just then, Hana and Haru saw the unthinkable. It was fast but it has been there, they could not treat it as a trick of the light. The colour contrast was simply too far. Just then, an aura emitted from the four friends, a small bit coming from the little guy. Reborn felt it and lowered his fedora. Lowering his tone, he voiced out. "Who are you?"

Tsuna's eyes turned bright orange. "Giotto." Just then, all of them clutched their heads. Tsuna fell to his knees as the pain throbbed harder. "Tsuna, let's go. It's time for dinner." Reborn declared as his stomach let out a growl. Tsuna turned and looked at the others. "Thank you for making my day really enjoyable. I enjoyed the company. I have to go now, see you in school." He then approached Kyoko. "Thank you, Yuriko. I loved your company through today." He whispered into her ears. Kyoko looked up at him and smiled, yellow flashed across her eyes. "No problem Giotto." Reborn smirked at the exchange and reminded himself to jot them down.

Tsuna then turned and carried Lambo, who has fallen asleep. Looking back once more, he smiled. "See you guys in school!"


Tsuna sat in front of his small desk and wrote in a small orange notebook.

Dear diary,

I had a great time today, going out with Kyoko. We met Gokudera and Haru in the amusement park later on. The way they acted was off, like someone had scheme the act before us. My mind clicked in and I was sure that this scheme was definitely plotted by Reborn. And sure enough, it was revealed that Reborn schemed everything and it was given by a slip from Gokudera. Then later on, I blurted out the weird things again and when Reborn asked who I am, I blurt out the name 'Giotto'. What am I getting into? It's not just me though, I feel it. The others felt something too but glad that they did not blurt out anything. And I think within that time, I saw a new image and it seems so familiar. Wait, what am I saying? Oh no! Reborn's coming. See you soon!

Thedoor then clicked open and in came Reborn. "What are you doing Dame-Tsuna?" Tsuna quickly hides his notebook and smiled at the infant. "Nothing. Is Lambo asleep?"

"Yes." Tsuna lets out a sigh of relief. "Tsuna, why did you call yourself Giotto?" Reborn asked. His voice was cold and icy, the brunet cannot help but shiver. "Honestly, I don't know. It just came out and when I said it, I felt so... Familiar." Reborn cocked an eyebrow. Just as he was about to sink into his thoughts, Tsuna talked. "I-I'll go sleep now. S-s-so good night Reborn." He climbed into his bed and pulled his blanket over himself. Despite being in bed already, Reborn kicked Tsuna behind his head. "No stuttering. Get it?"

"Hiee! Ok!" Tsuna then shuts his eyes and drifts off to sleep. Reborn looks at the notebook and read through it's content. His eyes widen in fascination as he reads his student's sloppy handwriting. Putting down the book on the desk, he changes into his polka-dot pajamas and climbed into his hammock. He stares into the ceiling as he recalls all that happened in the afternoon. Guess I'll observe him more.


(1) I don't know if Cozart was the one that named the intuition hyper.

Thanks guys for reading this chapter! I know it came out really late so I gave my best in writing this. Honestly, this is my first time writing about a date (that got crashed, it doesn't matter since I've never written about dates before) so pardon the horrid writing. Please don't hesitate to review, thank you!
