Uhmm.... sorry for the very late update. I was trying to get rid of this illness I call procrastination and that I've been busy doing typeset projects for scanlation groups I'm a member of. It's quite tiring, I must tell -sigh- As for Akai Sora, unfortunately, I'm still stuck with the next chapter. Sorry. I don't think I'll be able to continue writing that not until I've finished Puppy Love first.

Anyway, I'd like to make some things clear in this chapter; I use two names of Gokudera – his last name and his first name. "Gokudera" is his human name and "Hayato" is his puppy name Ryu had given him. Get it? I hope you do. All righty, onwards with the story!

Chapter Six

Operation: Rock the Boat

It has been three hours and twenty-five minutes since Tsuna (who keep on stilling his yawn while cleaning up the dust from the windows of Yamamoto's shop squeaky clean with a bottle of spray and dry cloth) woke up from his sleep because a certain someone had crept up to him with a bucket half full of ice cold water and cruelly splashed it down on him.

The brunet snapped his eyes open and jumped off from the bed, carefully not to step on the now sitting Hayato in its back legs, staring wide eyed at his human.

If he were plain normal Gokudera, he'd squirt blood (and lots of it) right from his nose and he'd probably hit his forehead onto the wooden floor while muttering over and over again to Tsuna in his mind with his normal (but painful) way of apologizing.

Tsuna sighed in dismay when he caught sight of Ryu's dark blue-black hair when she walked past the room he was in-charge of cleaning with that usual blank expression on her face.

"She's like another Reborn; always making my daily life miserable."

"Stop talking to yourself over there Tsunayoshi and finish your work." the person aloofly announced behind the brunet; the brunet's heart jumped and was thankful that the other didn't notice the loud beating of his heart from the sudden sneak attack. He could almost feel that unemotional ice-blue eyes staring right down at the back of his head.

Tsuna let out the breath he kept when the he thought he heard footsteps fading in the background; his heart jumped the second time when he heard a furious shriek coming from the living room downstairs a minute later.

Without giving it a second thought, the brunet ran out of the room at a fast pace to find everyone (Reborn who was sitting on Yamamoto's shoulder, Yamamoto laughing with his goofy trademark smile, Bianchi stared with amusement in her green eyes) huddled together in one corner of the living room.

Tsuna squints through the huddled crowd and was taken a back at what he thought he saw. Was that… Hayato…? Tsuna looked more closely and gasped when his caramel-brown eyes confirmed what he saw.

And indeed it was Hayato right there that has caught everyone's attention. The puppy seems to be enjoying in his own little word - completely oblivious of his actions in reality; happily humping his hips on a medium-sized pineapple flush toy.

Silence filled the whole living room and the people who were witnessing the scene went dead silent when a spurt of white came out of the pup and onto the flush toy.

The innocent brunet's face turned white and let out a loud gasp from out of pure disbelief earning everyone's eyes to turn to him. His eye twitched and felt a shiver going down of his spine, tiny goose pimples slowly forming on his skin when he felt the room's temperature began to turn cold, or so he thought since everyone else didn't feel what he feels.

"…" a low menacing growl was heard behind Bianchi and upon hearing it, everyone around the blue-black haired girl backed away from her not wanting to be part of her wrath.

The only person who didn't was the always calm and "thinks of everything is a game" Yamamoto who has the baby Arcobaleno sitting on his left shoulder, half of his face was blocked by his black fedora hat and the only visible was the upward turn of his tiny lips on the sudden turn of events.

"…if you care so much of that right-hand dog of yours, you better save him now before I get my hands on him… Sawada."

Tsuna cringed, S-she called m-me by my l-last name! That never happens! Well… except for when that time she got mad about Gokudera-kun teasing her about liking Mukuro-san!

"Woof!" Hayato barked Tsuna off his daydreaming, pulling on the hem of his pants and jerked his furry head to the door way, telling his human master to run away as fast as he could.

As if on cue, Tsuna scooped up the puppy to his arms and ran for his dear life away from the raging dragon girl following his tracks at a fast speed with a 'you're dead meat' expression on her face.

Later that night (and probably for the next couple of nights until the dragon has calmed down), Gokudera was forced to sleep right outside Tsuna's and Ryu's room; taking amends of what he did.

Tsuna stared down at the puppy as a weird thought came up out of the blue in his mind, Why does Hayato remind me a lot of Gokudera-kun…?

Haha! I got carried away from writing this chapter. I looked like an idiot laughing to myself while writing this; my family was giving me weird stares xD

As for the pineapple flush toy, let's just say Ryu and the Kokuyo Gang are close and Chrome had given her that toy for her last birthday. I should probably write a totally unrelated extra chapter about who really the dragon girl is.

Review plz?
