I do not own KHR or RWBY. Everything belongs to their respected owners.

"Bring Sally up, bring Sally down lift and squat gotta tear the ground. Bring Sally up, bring Sally down lift and squat gotta tear the ground. Old Miss Lucy's dead and gone, left me here to weep and moan~."

Tsuna found himself constantly pushing off of the ground before having to bend his arms and dip back down to the beat of the music playing. Sweat dripped from his shirtless body as classes were over and Ojou-sama said that she wanted a bit of alone time with her team. But the main gimmick was that he was doing it with only one hand. That was not all though.

Digging into his back was a single foot that was trying to keep the owner's body balanced on the moving platform it stood on. Such a person standing was Emerald as she was balancing two tiny cups filled to the brim with water on the back of her hands as she was stuck in a crane style pose.

Both humans were focusing intensely, trying to break out of concentration of falter from the fatigue that slowly crept up on them second after second. That only made them bring their exercises up a few levels though.

With a strong shove, Tsuna forced himself off of the ground for just a brief second. Within that time span, he clapped both of his hands together at the same time before landing one of his hands back onto the floor. With every beat passing, the brunette alternated hands as they would make contact with one another.

As her pedestal was being extremely shaky, Emerald was slowly bringing her hands together. With a quick motion, the cup on her left hand leapt off and was caught right on top of the glass on her right. Bending her knees, she lowered her body until her hand came into contact with Tsuna's back. With a careful hand-eye coordination, Emerald placed the two cups right on the bottom part of her foot and began her balance exercise reversed.

Soon however her hand slipped, causing a small chain of events.

Since Emerald lost her hold, the water cups immediately lost their surfaces and began to fall to the ground. With Tsuna's constant moving, the girl's positioning was also altered. Tsuna seemed to notice the lack of weight on his back and took a glance. Witnessing the cups fall, the brunette acted fast as he whipped his arms out and positioned his hands so that he successfully snatched the cups.

Falling back down to the ground though, his chin banged right against the floor. Tsuna didn't even have the chance to hiss in pain as Emerald's new positioning happened to have her back aligned with his as the back of each others' heads smashed together.

Both groaned in sync while the green-haired girl rolled right off of the brunette clutching her head. Her vision was a bit blurry as she stumbled around Tsuna's personal room. Why it was private was because of his late transfer as well as that he didn't want to sleep in the same room with four rather mature women; especially since one of them was his Ojou-sama.

Finding the bed, Emerald flopped right down onto the mattress and just let her body relax. "Ice coming up to your right." Hearing Tsuna's voice, her arm immediately was held out in reaction. A brief second later and a cold object landed right in her outstretched palm. Right away she applied if to her stinging spot and she could feel it swell down.

Movement sprung the mattress back to life and made the girl shift her head to see Tsuna now sitting next to her with a ball of ice held against the back of his own head. Eyes seemed to shift down towards the open stretched legs that were just laying as if in wait.

With her remaining strength, Emerald shifted her body and tried to place her head on his legs.

The vibration of a scroll immediately made Tsuna stand back up. This in turn however made Emerald lose her balance and fall back down to the floor. Luckily, Tsuna was extremely quick to catch her before she could hurt herself once more.

Swiftly placing her back on the mattress, Tsuna took quick strides to his desk which his scroll sat and he took a look at a message that had been sent to him. Eyes widened as he immediately was rushing around his room doing his best to wipe his sweat off and mask the smell.

"What the matter?" Emerald asked, too tired to get back up at the moment.

"It appears Ojou-sama is in the mood for a small snack." Tsuna replied as he was buttoning up his dress shirt while tying his tie. "Her message however is rather questioning. I quote, 'Snacks please, right now; triple smiley face with tongue protruding.' None the less, I have a feeling my team would appreciate such." By the time he finished his third sentence, he had already fitted on his butler coat while R-Tsuna was spraying him with something from a canister.

Emerald just continued to stare as Tsuna had already prepared a rolling table full of small little pastries and tea to go with such. "…Tsuna…" She saw him tense a bit when he heard her saw his name. "Are you doing anything later? After you finish your delivery to you… 'Ojou-sama'." Emerald put emphasis on the title.

"…I do have some grocery shopping to do in Vale." Tsuna seemed a bit hesitant to answer but still did anyways. A brief silence took over as the brunette remained unmoving and the green-haired girl continued to stare. "…Would… you perhaps like to come along?"

"That depends… are you okay with it?"

KBT

Maybe this was not such a good idea.

Both Tsuna and Emerald sat awkwardly across from each other as the airship from Beacon was taking them down to the streets of Vale. The female stared towards the brunette with a questioning gaze as the male was trying to find the proper place to stare. There was the small moment of turbulence here and there, but that was pretty much it that could break the mood.

"Don't you have any other sort of clothing on you?" Emerald questioned with a tone that pretty much sounded like she knew that he would have to have such.

Tsuna blinked as this was the question to begin a new conversation. "Well… not really. Ever since I had been hired as a butler, I've only been able to have such clothing." He explained as he gestured to his suit. "Although it does make me stick out, I've grown used to such due to wearing this type for a long time. There isn't anything wrong with that… is there?"

"…After grocery shopping we are going to buy you some new clothes."

"…We?"

Tsuna's mind drifted to that one single word; we. "As in… like a date of sorts?" He asked with uncertainty.

"Well…" Emerald trailed off. "Not 'like' a date… An 'actual' date."

Tsuna took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his beating heart down. "…Emerald… I… It's… well… You and me…"

The green-haired girl sighed. "Okay, I get it. It will be awkward for you." Her gaze lowered towards the floor for a bit. "But… I really do want to make up for what I've done. It was my fault for suddenly disappearing without even a goodbye. I want to be able to make you happy as you did the same for me…"

Hearing footsteps slowly come towards her, a pair of hands gently grasped her shoulder. Tensing and nearly shoving the palms away, she immediately recognized the gentle touch. Not one that was abusive, cruel, mean, or disgusting like anyone else she almost had in contact with for a long time. No, it was humble, caring, warm, and loving just like him.

Looking up slightly, Emerald saw that Tsuna was kneeling on the metal flooring of the airship. "Emerald… You have already done so much for me… More than you would expect. I'm happy… even flattered that you still want to pursue a relationship with me still… So… maybe, just maybe, we might be able to work-"

More turbulence happened to kick in at that moment, causing Tsuna to lose his balance and have his head band right against the floor. Emerald didn't know why but that tender moment suddenly being disturbed by a comical one was just… amusing.

"Stop laughing, Emerald, it's not funny!" Tsuna protested as the red-eyed girl was doing her best to try and contain her laughter.

"You're right, it's hilarious!"

Right after grocery shopping, Tsuna slightly felt regret form from within him.

Before they went into several clothing stores, Emerald had to determine the genre of the boy's fashion – Goth, Punk, Rock, Emo, Visual Kei and so on. Both of them knew that he was comfortable with almost anything as long as it was not deemed extremely goofy by many. After thinking of it for a brief moment, Emerald decided for a mixture of different styles at the same time.

They had not even begun their exploration among the clothes and Tsuna could already feel himself be exhausted as if he ran a marathon designed by all of the Arcobaleno themselves.

Having several clothing articles shoved into his arms, Emerald sent him away into a changing room. Well, at least this was able to have him rest for a small bit. When it came down to Ojou-sama, clothing shopping was a lot more high tech than one would expect.

For such clothing stores that were more expensive, one could easily step into a machine where their bodies would be scanned. After that, the customer could just select different types of clothing to see how they would look in such apparel. When you would want to buy it, just select the icon that would allow such clothing to be stored into a shopping cart and then continue on with your selection. When finished, just pay and the clothes are delivered to you right away in-store.

Back to his moment, he took the time to think about where he was right now. Let's see… He was in a clothing store with Emerald. That sentence alone pretty much constantly ran through Tsuna's mind over and over again. There was nothing wrong with it. In fact, Tsuna enjoyed the green-haired girl's company as he did before.

But after being separated for two years…

Knocking on a door broke the boy out of his thoughts. "You okay in there?" Emerald's voice asked through the barrier.

"Yes, just thinking about something." Tsuna replied as he began to unzip his pants.

Outside the changing room, Emerald nodded to herself as she leaned against a wall. It kept running through her mind that Tsuna was back in her life again. In all honesty, it took pretty much all of her willpower to be able to act this casual with him. She bet it was the same for Tsuna.

With her mind occupied with such, she felt a hand touch her shoulder. Tensing, unpleasant memories flashed and she immediately lashed out with a defiant shove. "Ow! What the hell was that for, woman?!"

Emerald's gaze soon fell upon a boy with silver hair and electric green eyes. His build was rather average, having on defining features whatsoever on the ground with a scowl. The boy glared right at her, but then another voice entered the area.

"Maa maa, Gokudera, no need to be like that. You did accidentally hit her and maybe she just reacted harshly by mistake." A boy with short, spiky black hair and large brown eyes soon showed up, trying to help the boy up.

"Don't tell me what to do, Baseball-Freak!" The boy now dubbed Gokudera shouted in anger in English before switching to Japanese.

Emerald however just stared with her red-eyes towards the duo. Where has she heard that name before? "…Gokudera?" She asked, somehow managing to gain the attention of the two boys. "As in… Hayato Gokudera?"

"Yeah, so what?!"

"…" Emerald's hands twitched.

KBT

It was a good thing Tsuna managed to finish changing quickly.

This new clothing actually looked pretty good on him. Tsuna wore a long sleeve white shirt with orange buttons, a gray vest with gold lining and accompanied by an orange loose tie hung around his neck along with a pair of dark brown pants and a pair of brown boots. If many were around, they would all admit that the brunette had the look of a charming male.

However, he soon heard some sort of commotion outside. Unlocking the changing room door, Tsuna swung it wide open and saw something that he never would have expected in his entire life.

Emerald was right on top of… Gokudera-kun… while… Yamamoto was doing his best to keep the two separated.

It seemed that the Rain guardian of the Vongola was leaning more towards his fellow Storm guardian in terms of helping within the fight. Emerald was wrestling Gokudera to the ground, struggling to land as many punches as she could while the silver-haired male was keeping her away.

Tsuna's mind told him to move yet his body was frozen. Why? Why were they here?

Finally leaping to the aid of Emerald though, he managed to pull the girl right off of the male as Tsuna had wrapped his arms around hers'. The green-haired female sharply glanced behind her to see Tsuna being her restrainer. "Let me go, Tsuna! I'm going to beat those bastards!"

Gokudera, rather than respond with his own outburst as usual, actually chose a more silent answer as soon as his eyes lay upon Tsuna. The same was said for Yamamoto as the baseball-player had no smile on his face. All but Emerald had surprised looks on their faces at seeing one another in this very place.

"…Gokudera-kun…" Tsuna slowly said. "…Yamamoto… It's… good to see you again."

"Haha…" Yamamoto laughed nervously, doing his best to find another place to stare. That very action alone brought up a familiar shot of pain in the brunette. "Uhh… Long time no see."

"…Yeah… three years…" Gokudera added.

The fact that they didn't even greet him by his name made Tsuna's grip falter a bit. Feeling Emerald struggle however had him tighten his grasp once more. "What are you both doing here?" Emerald spat venomously as she continued to wriggle for freedom.

"Hmm? We're here because we're participating in the Vytal Festival."

Tsuna's blood nearly froze then. We? So… the other guardians were here in Remnant as well? "But… How… Why?"

"It's the Vongola, remember?" Gokudera responded awkwardly, avoiding Tsuna's eyes. This however made his gaze look towards Emerald's red pupils. "Tch, let's get out of here. The others are waiting." He eventually spat before walking off.

"Well, it was nice seeing you." Yamamoto slowly said. "And sorry about Gokudera's attitude." With that apology, the Rain guardian jogged off after the storm.

The arms that were wrapped around Emerald immediately slid down soon after. Slid down all the way to her legs and she could feel a head resting against her butt. But that feeling didn't matter right now. She was so close to beating those two bastards to a pulp!

Turning around, her anger died out quickly as she saw Tsuna on his knees. His face was staring at the floor. She could hear him take deep breaths to try and calm himself. His body slightly shook. Emerald soon got onto her own knees to be able to be at eye level with Tsuna.

Cupping his chin in her hand, she slowly brought his eyes up to her own and noticed immediately the bottom part was slightly wet. "After three years… it still hasn't changed…" Tsuna whispered quietly. "Why… Why is it that I understand their reasoning yet it makes me like this?"

"…" Emerald couldn't answer her question. All she could do was wrap her arms around her neck and bring him in close for a kiss. Tsuna didn't even put up any resistance nor do anything to stop her. Emerald knew that he was too weak. But she did not do this due to an advantage and an opportunity. No, it was to try and ease his pain.

Breaking their lips apart, Emerald dragged her head over next to his for a tight hug. "They are still scared because that moment showed them a Tsuna they do not know. But I know the truth… Hope… Courage… Justice… Compassion… Determination… Harmony… Even that moment when you accidentally had your first kill… It's all a part of Tsunayoshi Sawada… the man who I fell in love with… and yet left…"

Tsuna soon felt Emerald's body shake. A sniffle entered his ears and he couldn't help but hold Emerald with equal tightness. Both of them were in pain in the past. Both of them were able to help each other over come such wounds. Both of them were separated eventually. Both of were now together once again in a familiar hold. Both of them were comforting each other once again.

As they continued to embrace each other, there was something on Emerald's neck. That something made Tsuna frown despite his current sad emotion.

KBT

Tsuna was currently steadying his beating heart.

Due to such events of the day, Emerald grew tired. The pair had managed to get onto an airship to Beacon. But as soon as they found a nice bench to sit on, the girl found a nice pillow to lay her head on; Tsuna's legs.

Despite their earlier moment of close touching, this was different because of their disarray of emotion. That hug was mainly to be able to calm the other down. This was a selfish act on Emerald's part. But… Tsuna guessed that he could allow it. Gently brushing his hand through her hair, he wondered where his position will now stand.

Quick recap in Tsuna's mind. He had a relationship with Emerald. They eventually broke up… unofficially. His work started at the Schee Dust Company afterwards in which he was assigned to Ojou-sama. Two years with his charge and he had already began falling for her. But with Emerald back in his life now…

Uh oh… Was this two timing?

Tsuna would have to think about such an issue another time as he felt the airship land on the docks of Beacon Academy. Apparently that was the exact time Emerald took to wake up as well. "Mmm…" Emerald stretched, arching her back with a pleasurable feeling running through her body.

The two of them soon began walking off of the airship as the boy was carrying several bags filled with groceries and Emerald held a couple of boxes with clothes for both herself and her dubbed boyfriend (Emerald's point of view while Tsuna was still on the fence).

"Emerald, I think I need to speak with your team." Tsuna suddenly requested out of the blue. A soft hum was his only answer. It seemed Emerald was so tired that she didn't want to think at the moment. Taking it as a yes, he continued to escort the girl until they both found themselves in front of a room in an area where all other students from different academies were staying.

Grabbing the knob and opening the door, two other people were inside. One of them Tsuna recognized while the other he did not have the slightest clue.

The first was a male with gray eyes and a similar hair color. The bangs however managed to be styled as one part hung from the middle part of his forehead down to the top of his nose while the rest was just out of the space of the eyes. He, of course, was in a Haven uniform as it seemed Emerald was part of that academy.

The other occupant of the room was female with ashen-black hair that fell all the way from her left shoulder to the top of her chest and bright amber eyes. Tsuna didn't know why, but he felt like there was just this calculative gaze that was held within such orbs. He also noted that she wore black tights rather than silver knee-high socks like most Haven students.

…Did that make him a pervert since he noticed such a detail?

But the male's appearance surprised him. "Mercury?!" Tsuna nearly exclaimed, managed to settle down the volume just in time.

"No freaking way." The gray-haired boy stated as he stood up since he was sitting on the floor. Ignoring Emerald as she stumbled to her bed, the fellow guy walked forward and threw an arm back only to bring it back forward and grasp Tsuna's palm. "No-good Tsunaoyshi Sawada! How are you doing, stick-boy?"

Tsuna raised an eyebrow at the greeting, but he still smiled. "Just fine. I can see that you are doing good as well judging by your greeting." It certainly had been a while when the two of them met.

Mercury Black, the son of Marcus Black. The adult was supposed to be an assassin, one who had an interesting relationship with reborn. By relationship, it really meant that Marcus was a lackey just like skull, only that the Cloud Arcobaleno at least had more respected gained from the other Selected Seven.

With a quick visit for the assassin to help set them all up for their living time in Remnant, Tsuna eventually found himself hanging out with the son, Mercury.

Long story short, they got along in an extremely werid way.

Continuing to shake hands with the boy, the sound of a throat clearing itself reminded them of the other occupant in the room. "Oh, my deepest apologies, Miss…"

"Cinder." The female answered coolly, a trait that only belonged to those that are absolutely confident with their abilities. Luckily it wasn't arrogant. The former was more dangerous though. "Not to sound rude, but may I know why you are here? I thought Beacon students are not allowed around this part of the school."

"Of course." Tsuna answered, looking towards Emerald who was still sleepy. But even with that factor, it seems the girl registered what was going on at the moment. Her eyes were telling everything. "I just needed to speak with all of you. But now I think that my business is involved with you alone, Cinder-san."

"Oh?" Cinder asked, glancing towards the green-haired girl dangerously. "And what sort of business might that be?"

Tsuna noticed Emerald flinch, which all confirmed his suspicions even more. Walking over to the green-haired girl, he lifted her hair and presented a couple of purple marks along her neck. "These bruises did not come from a fight. No opponent would land such sloppy slaps. I also happen to be confident in Emerald's combat ability for such thing to never happen. So, it may have come from one of her teammates."

Gesturing to Mercury, he continued. "Mercury here wouldn't do such a thing. Nor could be either. His main strength is his legs as he mainly uses his hands for mobility. Again, not for such slaps."

Tsuna then had to turn his attention to Cinder. "So, there are two things. First of all," He bowed towards the female. "I want to thank you for taking care of Emerald. It seems that she had grown up finely as you are the team leader I would assume judging by how you carry yourself."

"…And what would the second piece be?" Cinder asked, already interested in this boy. This male was amazing due to deducting all of such information with just a single look of a few bruises and vast knowledge.

Little did she know, the second bit was not in her favor. "Such bruises may have come from someone Emerald was loyal to. Such slap marks could not come from Mercury. There may be a fourth teammate among here, but I doubt it's them. It must be you."

This accusation made Cinder's look slightly morph into a frown.

"You are the team leader, therefore also being the one to give orders. With such personality coming from you as well, it seems you… 'disciplined'," Tsuna nearly spat. "Emerald. Do not deny it as such bruising along Emerald's neck is the same size as your fingers."

Mercury could only glance towards Tsuna as the brunette soon began to finish his monologue. "So for my second bit of business… I'm going to slap you in the face."

A loud smack immediately filled the air.

No flames please!
