Chp 7
At school
Tsuna and the others were not around. Since the popular guys were not here... it had made Junko to become the easy target by the jealous 'fans' to the point that they were crossing the line. Junko somehow, was having a great time in tolerating those girls bitching and almost reaching her limits.
"Ahh, I'm going to the roof top and sleep until the school session is over!" she decided. She went to the roof top in hoping for peace, but she received the other one instead. So, this was what Dino had meant by 'I see you around'.
"Yo, is the spot next to you taken?" Romario is surprised when the girl appeared out of nowhere.
"No..." he shook his head.
"Feel free to join me..."
Junko whistled as she observing the sparring between the bucking horse and the cloud.
"Senpai is not that half bad... Well, Dino shouldn't take him lightly though..." she commented on the fight before her eyes.
"Boss seems enjoying this though..." Romario added before he focused solely on the mysterious girl.
"I am Romario. Do I know you, miss?"
"Just a student who skipping class and passing by..." Junko stretched out her right hand and Romario accepted her hand shake rather politely.
"nice to meet you, Romario. I am Ernesta Yamamoto Junko. Dino calls me 'Ernesta', but you can call me Junko as well... preferably, Jun-chan though" she smiled.
Romario was looking surprised with the shocking truth about the girl before his eyes. His mind quickly processing the information about the girl.
"are you perhaps the infamous "Phantom assassin"? I heard boss mention about you not long ago. It's an honour to meet you in flesh, Jun-chan. I am surprised to found out that you're still a teenager though"
Junko smiled again.
"I like you, old man. Let's be friends, nee?" she pulled out something from her bag and offers it to Romario.
"Popcorn? It's nice to eat something while watching them, nee?"
Suddenly, she could sense someone's presence was nearby and noticed a shadow.
'Hmph... it's Sawada Iemitsu. Just as I thought... Ah, he's leaving already...'
Junko saw Hibari hit the Cavellone boss on his handsome face.
"Wao... he didn't hold back at all. Still, from what I see, senpai's attack is a little bit weak. He needs to work out a little bit more to increase the attack power"
"What did you say, herbivore?" Hibari was glaring straight to her. Apparently, he overheard the girl's comment.
"I SAID YOUR ATTACK JUST NOW IS WEAK! YOU SHOULD FIND A WAY TO INCREASE THE ATTACK POWER!" said Junko loudly.
"Hn. I'm going to bite you to death after I'm done with this herbivore..." he struck his tonfa to Dino's face again.
"Yeah, good luck with that..." she said mockingly. Junko continued to gobbling down her snacks.
"Hmm... maybe I should watch Take-nii's training as well later on"
After few hours later
The school had ended, but not the fight before her. Just how strong their stamina was? They had been sparring for 8 hours straight already, for crying out loud.
"Come on... someone please~ fall down already! Dino, how about you? Poor Romario for holding his pee this whole time..." said Junko while looking at Dino's companion next to her.
Romario blushed when the situation that he was currently 'suffering' in was found out by the girl.
"Ah, so you notice, Jun-chan?" and Junko just gave him a duh~ look.
"Ah... I'm sorry, Romario..." he said while dodging Hibari's tonfa to his face.
"Mou, senpai... why did you keep aiming for Dino's handsome face. Are perhaps jealous of him?" Junko finally voiced out her curiosity.
Hibari just took a glance of her and Hn-ed. Junko pouted with Hibari's 'boring' reaction.
"That's it.. I'm going home. It's my turn to make dinner tonight" she jumped over the other side of the fence and made another complaint.
"Dang... this building is tall!"
"Jun-chan... err, what do you think you're doing?" asked Romario. He was looking all surprised with Junko's sudden action.
"Oii, Herbivore. Do you want to die that much?" ask Hibari, temporarily stopped.
"Nah~ I did this only in a billionth time- my highest record is jumping off from Taipei 101" she waved at them good bye.
"I'm going home now. Arrivederci!" then she jumped off and leaving the three males stood there frozen for a minute.
"I think I just pee in my pants..." Romario muttered.
"I'm home..." she looked around weirdly.
"Oyaji? Take-nii?"
'Damn, where is everybody?' She could hear noise faintly at the backyard. She takes a peek at the window and noticed another building there.
"Oh, that's right... How could I forgot that Oyaji got dojo back there?" she gently smack her forehead because of her silliness in forgetting.
"Take-nii seems having a hard time coping with Oyaji's method. Don't worry, Take-nii... you can do it! Shiguren Souen Ryu is in your blood..." She cheered quietly.
Junko pumped her fists up and down in high spirits.
"Yosh... I'm going to make nutritious dinner for both of them to thank them for their hard working! Go! Go! Junko!"
Junko takes a peek from the slide door and saw Takeshi getting smacked on his head with a bamboo sword. Thank goodness he wears protection.
"A-are you serious?"Takeshi asked in disbelief and looked up at his old man.
"I had no idea my old man was so strong. It's like it's not him at all"
"Takeshi, if you don't have the resolve. Go home..." said Tsuyoshi in an unusually cold tone.
'oii, oii... Oyaji. You're acting so cool right now' Junko sweat dropped.
"If playing a game is your only reason for learning kendo, then goes ask someone else" Tsuyoshi added.
"Reason..." Takeshi muttered.
'Reason, huh? Beating the shit out of Squalo is your reason, Take-nii' Junko thought as she remembers the event yesterday.
"I'M NOT PLAYING! FACE!" Takeshi lunged to his father and aiming for his face. But, Tsuyoshi disappeared in a thin air before he could hit him and reappeared behind his son and hit him at his back.
Takeshi falls forward and almost 'kissed' the floor.
"Ow!" he turns back to his old man.
"From behind! That was unfair, Oyaji!"
"Unfair? Don't make me laugh. This is what I mean when I say this isn't a game-" he puts down his bamboo sword.
"I'm teaching you a murderous sword which killed many men during times of war"
"Murderous? What's with that?" Takeshi questioned.
"It's called the Shiguren Souen Ryu..." Tsuyoshi finally revealed the technique.
"Shiguren. Souen. Ryu?" Takeshi repeated the sword style's name.
Both of them look at the door as they heard Junko's coughing. She slid it open and smiled sheepishly.
"I'm sorry for interrupting, you two. But, it's time for dinner. You don't want to continue your training with empty stomach, do you?"
Both Tsuyoshi and Takeshi were about to turn down the offer but they just couldn't. Junko was somehow radiating a feeling that neither of them experience before. Both of them smiled awkwardly.
"Well.. t-thank you, Jun-chan. Oyaji will be there in a minute.."
"Uhuh, same with me..." Takeshi let out his trademark care-free laugh.
"I'm glad you listen..." she tilted her head and smile cheerfully.
'Persuasion: Success'
The next day
"Oii, oii... they're not done yet?" Junko appearing out of the blue had surprised Romario again.
"The cloud is very hard to tame..." Romario let out a fake cough, trying to hide his surprise feelings.
'as expected of the Phantom assassin. Even I couldn't sense her'
"mah, this is boring! I'm going to skip school today and check out on others, but before that, here..." Junko gave him a grocery bag full of snacks and drinks.
"It's going to be a looonnngggg day for you today"
"Ah, thank you.." he accepted the offer gladly.
"Senpai, I'm going to skip school now! Dino... good luck" she waved at them innocently.
"Herbivore, it's against the rules to escape from school. I'll bite you to death..." he was about to stop the girl, but Dino's whip almost got him.
"Thank you, Ernesta. Have fun!" Dino, on the other hand, encouraged her and returned her waves.
In seconds, Junko jumped off, making Romario on the verge of heart attack again.
'man, this is not good for my heart'
"What the hell?! I don't even know where I am going..." Junko face palm herself as she walked down the trail. She even forgot that she have the worst sense of direction ever and to added the fact that she even forgot to brought along her GPS.
"I'm going to climb this cliff with my dying will!" someone was shouting from afar.
"Tsuna?" Junko followed his voice and found Reborn and Basil talking to him. Basil was already in his dying will mode and in his fighting stance.
"I have to fight someone in dying will mode?!" Tsuna sounded surprised.
"Stop! Stop! It's impossible!"
Basil looked at Reborn with a questioning look.
"That is Japanese mannerism. They tried to hide their embarrassment. Go ahead!" Reborn 'explained'.
"very well..." Basil seems to fall for Reborn's reasoning, which was actually unfortunate for Tsuna.
Tsuna's expression makes Junko giggled.
"man, Tsuna could really make tons of hilarious expressions"
The blow that Basil gave to Tsuna was really one-sided as Tsuna flew to the cliff behind him. Without hesitation, Reborn shoot Tsuna and he converted into his dying will mode as well. Tsuna fought Basil on par, but somehow in uncontrollable manner.
All of sudden, Junko could spot Iemitsu nearby.
"well, it's time for me to go then.." she quickly fled.
Junko continuously walked in the forest. Suddenly, she could hear a loud gunshot and followed the sound. After all, she never follows the rule of saying 'if you hear a gunshot, stay put'. Just down the cliff, he could saw two figures, a muscular teenage boy and a baby wearing army uniform.
"Another arcobaleno? Is that... Colonello?" she then seated down on the nearby tree stump. Because of their loud voices, Junko didn't find it difficult to over hear their conversation.
"First, destroy that rock, koraa!" Colonello instructed the successor of Sun guardian as he was pointing to the huge rock that is 100 times bigger than Ryohei.
"All right.." Ryohei looked so high spirited, then he stretched his hand to the infant.
"then, the rifle..."
"No way, this is mine..." said Colonello with his stingy face, which Junko had to admit was adorable.
"Do it with your bare hands"
"What?! Are you not missing something?!" ask Ryohei in disbelief.
"Of course, Koraa" he just show him his I-don't-fucking-care look.
"Then, I'll make one thing clear, master" he inhaled deeply.
"IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Ryohei began to complaining how they were just lying down for two days and his body can't cope without his usual training. Then, Colonello is explaining the other way around.
Junko sweat drop as Collonello pointed his rifle to Ryohei.
"Now, I'll fire a powerful blow from my soul into you: Directly into your body!"
"Why?!"
"Because you're the type of person who learn by your body, not your head. Accept my blow, feel it then learn it, Koraa!"
"What?! That's impossible..." Ryohei said for a second time. Colonello seems to ignore him.
"Shot!" a blue light came out from the arcobaleno's rifle and shoot Ryohei.
Ryohei still managed to get up after receiving the massive blow and faced the giant rock. He took his stance and concentrating for a while, then 'BOOM!' the rock shatters into small pieces.
Junko rested her elbows against her knees and her face on her palms. She grinned widely as she witnessed arcobaleno's power.
'So, it's not useless for me coming here after all'
"By using a special bullet, Colonello had packed his memories into it and fire it to Ryohei, teaching him how to release the technique" Junko made her conclusion. She stood up after she knows that Ryohei will be just fine in Colonello's hands.
"Well, it's time for me to go home then..."
The certain black haired girl was leaning at the wall outside the dojo. She was listening to her cousin's and uncle's voices very closely.
"Next, eighth form..." told Tsuyoshi.
Junko stared at the dim moon in the sky.
'if he manages to do this, he'll master the technique. Do your best, Take-nii"
She could hear a slashing sound.
"...Shinotsuku Ame!"
Junko smiled. So his cousin finally did it.
"That's it. I have nothing to teach you"
"Wait a minute, old man!" Takeshi called out for his dad.
"Nothing more? All I did was copy what you only showed me a single time"
"The master only shows the student once. Such is the law of the Shiguren souen style. Shiguren Souen is that dangerous. It is a sword of destruction that may cause your death with a single mistake" Tsuyoshi explained in a dead serious voice.
"A-are you serious?" Takeshi seems to be having a hard time to belief the tales.
"What if I learnt it incorrectly?"
"Takeshi, if you were serious and had the will to learn, you wouldn't have"
"That's true! Then, I'll take it from here..." Junko could hear Takeshi's enthusiastic voice.
"All right! Within the eight forms is the secret of Shiguren Souen. With vigorous training, it will show itself to you"
Takeshi asked his old man if he wanted to know the reason of him starting the kendo and Tsuyoshi just replies that he didn't pry to the details and he could only imagine the reason why.
"Just do your best..." told Tsuyoshi.
"Oyaji..." he bowed down to him.
"Thank you very much!"
Junko could hear his uncle's footsteps approaching and she then was hiding away. After he disappeared from her sight, she stepped out from her hiding only crossed her path with someone.
"Sa-Sawada Iemitsu...?"
He looked surprise as well when he recognized her.
"Phantom assassin?!" simultaneously, he threw a punch towards her and missed. The tree right behind her fell down.
"Time out! Time out!" she showed him a large T sign with her hands.
"can you use your mouth instead of fists to do the talking?! Be quiet please! Take-nii is practising!"
"Take-nii?" he asked, looking a little bit of confuse.
"Yamamoto Takeshi? You know him?"
Junko nodded.
"I am Yamamoto Junko... Of course I know him!" she emphasized on her family name.
"Wait, I thought your name is Ernesta Marino?" Iemitsu asked again, just to make sure.
"That's my bloody Italian name!" she explained.
"Dude, do your research. I mean, come on... you shouldn't attack your son's famiglia recklessly!" Junko looked a little bit angry. Didn't Reborn told the blonde about her at all?
"Tsuna's famiglia? You?" he asked again.
"Well, duh~ ask Reborn about it!" she told him.
"I had saw you during Senpai's, Ryohei's and Tsuna's training today..."
"Have you been following me?" ask Iemitsu suspiciously.
"As if, dude! I was bored with no one at school. So, I just was checking out their training and stuff. You happened to be there..." she explained.
"... and you didn't even noticed me until now"
"Well..."Iemitsu blushed.
"... Y-you're the "Phantom assassin" after all. You could hide your presence very well" he said awkwardly.
Junko scratched her head. The advisor has a point of course.
"I'm going home now. Oyaji must be looking for me right now. Take care..."
"A... Ah, take care..." with a blink of an eye, Iemitsu realised Junko just vanished before him. He let out a soft laugh.
"So, Tsuna even have an assassin in his famiglia, huh?"
So, that's it for this chapter. I do hope I could upload more chapter after this. please review, love you all~
