Chapter 7: Kozato Enma

The thought that guys could be yandere too occurred to Lisa the Monday after Miss. Miura's 'prank' on Mr. Gokudera, during an English lesson. It was a simple thought, really, and it probably wouldn't have bothered her a little while ago. Nevertheless, it made her uneasy.

After a few moments of consideration, she decided it was probably a good thing that it bothered her; after all, if there was anything her time at Namimori has taught her, it had to be that some very scary people were head-over-heels in love with Sawada Tsunayoshi.

Steadying herself, the blond looked over at the boss of Simon. With the information she got from Reborn about what happened between the Vongola and Simon recently and the information she now had on yandere, she just couldn't help being unnerved…

And so she decided on her next target.

Out of all her targets so far, Kozato Enma was most definitely Lisa's favorite. Honestly, how could he not be?

He was kind and polite, the two most important traits a person could have, as far as she was concerned, yet he had the perseverance to not give up on his goals; a rare combination.

No matter what anyone said, the Simon Decimo was a strong boy. Lisa was sure of it.

Now all she needed to do was figure out whether he was yandere or not…

"You want me to tell you about Loser Enma?" Miss. Tanaka raised an eyebrow. Quite frankly, Lisa wanted nothing to do with her; the only reason she even bothered remembering the girl's name was that she behaved enough like an Information Broker to be useful.

"No, I want information about Mr. Kozato." The blond couldn't help but twitch a little. She's had just about enough of her classmates being disrespectful to people they've probably barely said two words to. Thinking it over, maybe she should've had this conversation before she started her analysis (stalking) of the Simon Decimo… You see, reader, our protagonist's always had this bad habit of getting attached to her targets and getting upset when they're insulted. Whether she's in the right or wrong, the situation always ends in a mess.

The Japanese girl shook her head. "You sure have a weird taste in boys, Lisa… Are you sure you wouldn't rather hear about Gokudera or Yamamoto?"

"Very sure." By this point Lisa was questioning why she was wasting her lunch break with such a shallow moron, as well as her every decision leading up to this moment.

"If you say so…" Miss. Tanaka looked reluctant, but spoke anyway. "He's always either with Dame Tsuna, that third-year with green hair, some fat guy, an old-looking guy, the scary girl with who acts like Hibari 2.0, this really scary guy from the baseball club or the girl who dresses like Lady Gaga, and he acts like another Dame Tsuna. It's kind of pathetic."

Lisa begrudgingly thanked the other girl for her time before going to look for one of the redhead's Guardians, trying with all her willpower to not hit Miss. Tanaka for being so rude to people over a trillion times nicer than herself (in most of the above cases, anyway).

Lisa wasn't sure why she decided to ask Mr. Aoba about the Simon Decimo. In fact, after thinking it over when all was said and done, she could see several big flaws with the idea right away. If you asked, she'd blame it on her still being upset over that conversation with Miss. Tanaka.

"Excuse me? Upperclassman Aoba?" The blond approached the green-haired boy, hoping she was calm enough to not be shaking in quiet fury at her classmate.

He turned to her, eyebrow raised. "What do you want?"

"I have a question about your friend, Mr. Kozato. Has he ever gotten overly attached to someone or something?"

The Simon Forest Guardian seemed to consider it for a moment, then shook his head. "No, I don't think Loser Enma's ever-"

"Were you the one who coined that nickname?"

That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

"I guess…"

Lisa snapped.

"I see…"

Badly.

"You little piece of rotten dog shit…" The Italian girl was trembling with rage.

Mr. Aoba's eyes widened, but she continued before he could speak.

"Just who the hell do you think you are, referring to your boss like that? What kind of shit Guardian are you? Kozato Enma is the Simon Decimo, and a damn nice guy. You should feel honored to be working under him, not being a prick about it. I swear to god or science or panties or Reborn or whatever you believe in, if you don't start showing Mr. Kozato the respect he deserves, I will cut off your balls with a blunt knife and feed them to you."

And with that, the fuming psychologist left a very confused Aoba Koyo to try to figure out what just happened.

The next day (and every day after that), she avoided Mr. Aoba like the plague. What was she thinking, mentioning the mafia like that? Oh yeah, she wasn't thinking. At all. And she didn't have the guts to apologies for blowing up at him like that. God damn it. God damn it to hell and back.

"… Miss. Altimari? Are you alright?"

Lisa didn't even realize she was facepalming. Letting her hand drop to her side, she smiled at the redhead. "It's nothing." It seemed Mr. Aoba was too confused to bring it up with the other Simons… so far.

As luck (or the teacher) would have it, she and the Simon Decimo were paired for a science project over the weekend. The two were on their way to her apartment to get started on it.

They were about half way there when they overheard a group of rough-looking, older (older than Mr. Kozato, anyway) boys in an alleyway laughing about how they beat up a guy with fluffy brown hair and stole his bag.

The Simon Decimo politely asked the blond if it would be alright to start their project the next day.

She agreed and left to go to her apartment; she had a feeling she knew where the situation was heading.

Lisa couldn't say she was surprised when she saw Decimo in possession of his schoolbag, a news report on a few delinquents who got sent to the emergency room at the hospital and Mr. Hibari giving the Simon Decimo an approving nod the next Monday.

In conclusion, Kozato Enma was less 'yandere' and more 'violently protective'.
