Chapter 7:

The Vongola's strongest guardian and Kyoko's disappearance

Cooking with these two girls was rather...unpleasant Ami had to admit. Yes, yes, she knew that it's rude to think that way, but seriously...after five years of cooking herself, the brunette had her own style and spices she put in. Though, because she came with Kyoko and Haru to help, she felt bad for forcing them to use something they're not comfortable with. And thus, she felt uncomfortable herself.

Not only that, later, the brunettes mood was brought down even more.

It all started with them coming into the kitchen. Everyone was in a great mood (or at least they acted like that). They took out all of the cooking equipments and started to cut the veggies and such. They even put already everything to cook in a pot, when the girl gave out a scream.

Automatically, Ami came to ask what was wrong. And in return, the two of them pointed at a black thing under the sink.

The adult gave out a chuckle or a nervous laugh, then went towards the sink and pocked the big black thing.

In the mean time, the boys ran into the kitchen, asking what's going on?

"Giannini, are you stuck in there or something?" Ami asked, pocking him again. But before she could do anything else, the round, italian machinary inventor practically rolled out, from under the sink, sitting flat of the brunette, who was on her knees before this happened.

"That's right! I'm Giannini, Vongola Family's supplier, the weapons tuner and inventor." The man introduced himself to the teenagers.

"OI! You're sitting on me!" Ami shouted with annoyance, trying to push the big, short man off herself (And lets say that he wasn't exactly light).

"AHHh~, I'm so sorry, Ami-sama!" The man stood up straight away and bowing at the adult lady in front of him, who was brushing the dirt off her skirt.

"sama?" Yamamoto asked in curiosity. "Yes, that's right, Ami-sama is-" Before Giannini could continue, the brunette gave him a death glare, making him quieten down (luckily, everyone was staring at the man, so they didn't see the glare).

"What are you doing in the kitchen?" She asked instead, softining her gaze. The man quickly answered that he was fixing some of the waterpipes the other week and had to leave some stuff in the kitchen.

He took out the 'stuff' which looked like pipes and left the kitchen.

It wasn't until Yamamoto stated that there was a weird smell in the kitchen. "Oh, no! I forgot to switch off the fire!" Kyoko exclaimed looking at the pot. "Hahi! It's all charcoal!" Haru added.

Ami wanted to face-palm herself. This is going to be a loonnggg day...

But before anything else was done, there was a loud bang on the door, "Listen up! The basic knowledge you need to know and the fighting methods, I'll hammer them into your head!" The woman with navy colored hair and a big red scar on her right cheek said.

"Nice to see you too, Lal-sensei." Ami said in mocking sarcasm. "You're here?" The same strict trainer asked. In response, the brunette nodded with a smile, "Good, then I won't take it easy on the greenhorns."

"Lal-sensei?" The boys asked, or the question was written on their faces, "Yeah. Lal-sensei hammared basic fighting skills into me...you better do what she tells you to though, or else I'll have much more work." The last bit was more of a whisper of warning to the boys, who sweat-dropped.

"Anyways, girls, wanna go get more ingredients?" The brunette said, going to the door happily.

Both of Kyoko and Haru seemed to be a bit confused, but when they remembered that the food was burned, the two nodded at the same time and followed the adult.

"We didn't get to introduce ourselves.." Kyoko noted, looking back. "I wonder who that bitter, pretty lady is?" Haru added.

Ami noticed their curiosity and thought it was fine to say a few words, "Ahaha~, I don't you'll really want to, she really is one of those strict types. After all, she was in the millitary before...Oh, and that's why she'll be a good trainer for the boys. Though they'll be warn out and tired after they come back."

"Hahi! Really?" Haru asked. "Yup. Well, to get you back to the futur, the boys will have to work hard, ne?" The older brunette stated.

"Then we should do our best to make great meals for them!" Kyoko said, turning to look at her friend who nodded enthusiastically in response.

Sighing, the doctor started to feel grumpy. If it's Lal Mirch who is training the boys, then Ami would definitely be getting busy yet, again. She already had to go through the horrifying devil training herself, so now she had to watch others go through it too?

Of course, on the outside, the brunette just smiled at the two girls, as they worked on remaking the same meal.

After that was finished, Ami went to her room to go and change out of the high-heel boots. Luckily for her, she won't need to use them, since everyone is rather short now.

The boys came in later than expected (by Kyoko and Haru), so the dinner was served later.

"This is really great!" Tsuna exclaimed, enjoying his food. Yamamoto nodded possitively, agreeing with his friend.

"That's because Kyoko-chan and I used out very best skills!" Haru responded, glad to hear their compliments. "Heh, anybody can make curry." The rebellion teen said, eating his food though.

Passing him by, Ami placed a hand on his head, "Alright, then why don't you make it yourself then?" She asked, pointing out the obviousness, making the silver-haired guy shut up. He knew that if the brunette was anything like the one from their era, she would be lecturing him for God knows how many hours again about his behaviour. And he already had enough on that, thank you very much.

Noticing that Lal Mirch wasn't around, the brunette rolled her eyes. "Well, if you don't mind, I'll go now too. If anything, call me, alright?" Ami said, leaving the kids by themselves with Reborn.

Locking herself up in her room, the brunette took out a computer, her papers from her researches and several other things. With that, she continued on finishing the latest research, which she didn't have any time for.

.

.

The only reason why Ami even bothered to stand up at such an ungodly hour as 9 o'clock in the morning, was because of a stupid alarm that got turned on in the base.

"SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET SOME SLEEP!" The brunette screamed storming into the room where the alarm was coming from and threw a pillow at the poor inventor of the Vongola.

"HIIEE! Ami-nee is scary!" Tsuna shrieked. "Huh? Why are you so god damn short?" The brunette asked, trying to get the full picture of Tsuna, but couldn't since she had forgotten her glasses in the room.

"Here are some spare." The voice of a squeacky baby said, putting something into the brunette's hand. She figured they were glasses and put them on.

"I'm sorry Ami-sama, if it woke you up, but it was an SOS from one of our allies." Giannini said, going back to tap something on the computer.

"SOS? From who?" The yawning adult lady asked. She was still in her PJs, which were a pair of silky shorts and a silky shirt, with laces as a decoration on the top. Her hair was messy and eyes still half-awake. In other words, you could tell she just came out of bed. And she didn't even give one thought to why Tsuna, the one standing next to her was blushing madly.

"I've pin-pointed the source of the signal!" The Italian round guy exclaimed. "Alright, show it on the screen." She said, yawning even harder (she really wanted to just get this over with, so that she could go back to sleep).

Then on the screen came a picture of a fluffy, small, yellow bird.

"HIBIRD?" Tsuna shouted from surprise. Then the other boys and Lal Mirch came in running all alerted, "What was that buzzer?" The strict trainer asked.

Though, the boys didn't say anything after they saw Ami, both of them blushed a weird shade of red.

"We received an SOS alert from Hibari-san's bird!" Tsuna answered the question rapidly.

"Where?" The CEDEF member asked, demanding an answer. Giannini replied that it was in district 7 at the speed of 37 km/h, at a dropping altitude and such. But then the signal just disappeared. Looking over at the Italian's computer, Ami saw that it disappeared at around the Namimori shrine's area.

Giving another yawn, the brunette decided to not bother anymore, she figured that the battery ran out. Otherwise, Hibari Kyoya wouldn't let the his bird to get taken by the enemy, so there wasn't much to worry.

On the other hand, everyone else was thinking that it might've had gotten into the enemy's hands. "I wouldn't be too worried if I were you, this is Kyoya we're talking about after all. Anyways, I'm going to go change if there isn't anything else." Ami said, turning her back to the sweat-dropped crowd behind her.

Though just when the brunette left the room, she saw Haru pass by with a worried expression, "Tsuna-san! It's big trouble!" she shouted nervously, as if something really bad happened, "Kyoko-chan is missing!"

At those words, our heroine woke up fully, "What do you mean?" She asked, gripping Haru's shoulder.

"W-well, she left a note. It says 'I need to go home, just once. I'll bring some snacks back for Lambo-kun too.'" Ami palm-faced herself. She felt like it was her fault, that's why ran to her own room and came back all dressed in a matter of minutes.

By the time she came back though, the group has already decided to go ahead and research both the shrine and where Kyoko might possibly be.

"Alright. I'll stay with Giannini and try to find info about Kyoya." Ami answered, since she preferred to stay out of battle. Tsuna nodded and the four of them left.

"Kyoko should alright, as long as she is careful.." The doctor muttered under neath her breath.

.

.

After a horribly long hour of waiting, looking at the rings engaging into battle, it finally stopped. "Giannini, where is the door leading to Kyoya's hideout?" The doctor asked, taking out her map of the base. "Ah...It's here, Ami-sama." The man showed with his finger at the entrance, she was close to the shrine.

"I'll go there then." The girl said, walking out of the place.

The distance between that door and where the two of them were wasn't very large, though somehow, the brunette managed to slip and fall around 10 times at least. I mean, it's not like she was clumsy, or scared of meeting Hibari.

No, no, no...in fact, she was rather excited of meeting the unsocial 'friend' (Hibari probably thought of them as more of acquintances Ami believed). What made her nervous was that she didn't meet him for so long and how it will turn out? Will he stay? Does he know about what happened in the Main HQ?

All these questions made our heroine nervous and shameful somehow. Although Hibari never critised her, or her work, he would ignore her completely when the ex-prefect was disappointed in her actions. That made her feel like she was judged.

"You turned to be even more clumsy than I thought." A squeaky voice said, as the brunette fell, yet again.

"I-I'm not..." Ami tried to deny, but couldn't, since it was obviously right.

Though when she stood up, the door opened and behind them stood Tsuna and Kusakabe with his oh-so-famous Elvis hairstyle holding a very injured Yamamoto and Gokudera on their backs.

"Ciaossu." The baby tutor greets the two of them. Ami, on the other hand, went straight away to take Gokudera from Tsuna's back.

"They really made sure that I won't be bored, right?" She muttered in irritation, putting the silver-headed teen on her own back and caring him off, with Hibari's subordinate following right after.

Once both of them were put into different rooms, Ami checked to see that most of the injuries came from being electrocuted...Thinking on what will be the fastest way for them to heal, naturally, the doctor started with her thing.

When she finished, the brunette went to the kitchen to see if Kyoko had returned with Lal Mirch, and it seemed like she did, with other stuff too.

That's when the older lady went up to the girl with ginger hair (I believe it's ginger...hope no one complains) and pocked her at the forehead, "Don't do something like that again. I said that if something is wrong just call me."

Kyoko looked at the ground, as she understood her mistake. "I know that you're worried about your brother...Actually I met up with him not so long ago, he'll probably come here as well in a few weeks or so." Ami ruffled with the girl's hair, telling the good news which lightened up the mood.

Though before she could go out of the kitchen, Giannini ran past her with a happy face.

'I wonder what happened...' The brunette thought, looking at a disappearing figure of the Italian guy. Though she didn't feel like finding out anyway, since it probably wasn't anything bad.

"Well, call when you need help, ok?" The doctor said and waved with her hand, going out of the room.

You say that our heroine wasn't being very sociable. There was a reason for that, first - they all reminded of the Vongola's state at the moment and second - because she just didn't feel very talkative, although she acted like she was.

She only knew one place where she knew that there was no need to talk in. Either her room, or...with the unsociable Cloud Guardian of the Vongola.

Not exactly thinking of where to go, the girl ended up coming to Hibari's hideout, which didn't take even minutes for Ami to open. Seeing as the place was empty, the girl went outside to breath some fresh air.

Of course, Ami didn't go any further than the shrine, that would be turn rather unpleasant. That's why she sat down on the floor of the building's balcony.

For the first time, since Tsuna had died, the girl actually was able to sit by herself and think about it.

'Of course, I shouldn't be thinking about it...but, what if I did agree to marry him, would he have not gone to that meeting?' The Queen thought, depressingly staring off into the sky.

'It's not like I don't love Tsuna. Now that I think about it, maybe we would've made a good couple...ahh..what's the use. It's not like he's coming from the dead anyways.' She continued staring, when a bunch of white clouds appeared.

And because the brunette was so out-from the earth, she didn't even notice when a man of 26 approached her.

It was none other than the solitary man, who was named as the Strongest Guardian of the Tenth Vongola generation.

Why he was walking towards the girl that just seemed so weak at the time.

I mean, the guy hated her. He hated the girl that everyone adored so much, especially the crowds that would be circle her whenever they could.

And he hated also the fact that she was weak. From his point of view, the brunette couldn't fight, and yet...she had her moments.

Like how she startled him when they first met in the Reception Room. The chubby girl with a strong English accent, who was wearing a pair of baggy pants and a T-shirt (she didn't have her uniform yet), had stated that 'weapons weren't allowed in any sort of school'. She even put up a fight and was able to place a direct hit on his face, though afterwards, she was easily knocked out.

Another moment happened to be just the next day, when he found her crying on the rooftop..the reason was..Because she got a 80% on her test. He was surprised, but didn't give a care, since she fell deeper on his 'herbivore' list then. Though after the prefect had called her a herbivore, the girl stood up, whipping her tears and exclaiming that she will make him stop calling him that. And thanked him afterwards.

Her weird character was changing so many times that he probably lost count. There was also those moments when he got sick and how she literally fought back to bring him back into shape and such.

Now that the guy remembers, that weird girl was always there to heal his wounds..well, then she could only take care of them. And she brought chocolate, pies and other sweet stuff to him too. In return, he helped her several times, when she had troubles with some of the gangsters of the school. Yes, Hibari also had noticed her caring-spot for school and its rules, so he never could find any good excuse to 'bite her to death', except for the late mornings, which somehow were coming very regularly.

After trying to get rid of her several times, he gave up. And anyways, her sweets were really good (though he won't say that ever out loud). Though he still couldn't understand why she was coming to him...

Getting more and more used to her appearance, the leader of Discipline Committee started to feel bloodlust coming for whenever that Dino Cavallone touched her so casually.

By the time he met with Dino, his tutor (never admitted it though), Ami already took off a few kilos from herself, making her look prettier, though her round cute cheeks stayed there like always. Was it that he found the brunette pretty and didn't want other strong men to tough her? He had no idea himself, the teen was sure it wasn't anything like that though. It just irritated him to no end, making Hibari want to bite the Bucking Horse to death even more than he did before, when he found out he is Reborn's acquintance.

Why he didn't feel so irritated, when she was with her brother and the rest? Easy to answer. They just didn't match up to him, at all (in his opinion, duhh).

Years started to pass and Kyoya still couldn't figure the girl out and why he cared to do so. It only hit him and he actually admitted it when the girl went off to America to study in the University, he loved her. Though the only problem was, it was already too late. Because, no matter how much he would've he tried, she wouldn't be his.

The lock between Sawada Tsunayoshi and her was closed for anyone else to enter. Although neither knew of that, Hibari noticed. And he wasn't the man to take what isn't his, that's why, he gave up before even trying.

.

And yet, there she sat, the beautiful doctor fully depressed and weak. He hated her for making him go through that, and still, the man couldn't leave Ami to suffer by herself. Especially when he knew something to cheer her up.

This was another thing he hated. The fact that she had such a strong influence on him, like a drug would.

Unconsciously, the man wrapped his hands around her and then saying into her ear, "He is alive."


Lalalala~...Ok, I hope Hibari wasn't too OOC...ahahaha~

Jeezzz, first everyone says he is dead, now that he is alive, what's up with this anyway? I mean, I know that he is only partially dead, but I mean, come on! Make up your mind, Tsuna!

Yay, happy news~~. And we got to see Ami being clumsy again, wuuhoo~.

Anyways, hope you like this chapter and pleeeaaaasssseeee review!
