Note:Shorter again... Sorry about that. This one is about HK, China and Gokudera. No, they do not blow up the place they are staying at. 2/3 my way through. Yay!
Btw, these anime do not belong to me in any way.
Day 9…
On one side of the lake, Hong Kong and China were training Gokudera. However, that day, Hong Kong stood back while China stepped forward instead.
"I'll be training you today aru." China announced.
"Huh? You use explosives as well Yao?" Gokudera asked.
"No he doesn't." Hong Kong replied.
"Jia Long told me that you can't fight in close combat aru. So, I'm going to teach you how to today aru." China said.
"But I don't have to know how to. I can protect Tenth with my dynamites alone." Gokudera said.
"But you could, like, hurt him as well." Hong Kong pointed out in his monotone voice.
"Exactly aru. Now, let's get started aru." China said.
It was soon obvious that Gokudera couldn't fight without his dynamite. He kept on either tripping up or getting flipped onto the ground by China.
"Ow! Not again…" Gokudera whined as China flipped him onto the ground for the umpteenth time.
"You're, like, one of the worst I've seen at this." Hong Kong commented.
"Shut up! I don't see you doing this!" Gokudera shouted back.
"That's because I can, like, actually fight." Hong Kong replied, rolling his eyes.
"Then why don't you show me?" Gokudera challenged.
"Okay. Yao-ge?" Hong Kong asked, shrugging before looking to China for permission.
"Alright aru." China said stepping back as Hong Kong took his place as Gokudera's opponent.
"Attack me then." Hong Kong instructed, taking his stance. Taking him at his word, Gokudera charged toward Hong Kong. Hong Kong skilfully dodges the attack and launched a kick from behind Gokudera, causing Gokudera to fall forwards. Hong Kong lands behind Gokudera and locks Gokudera's hands behind his back.
"See what I mean?" Hong Kong asked as he held Gokudera down.
"Let him go already aru." China said walking up to them.
"If you say so, Yao-ge." Hong Kong said, letting Gokudera get up. With that, China took over the training session and continued his training with Gokudera.
When dinner time arrived, the three of them arrived in the dining hall. As they enter, Gokudera was continuously massaging his sore neck.
"Gokudera, are you okay?" Tsuna asked, looking over.
"I'm perfectly fine Tenth! Please don't worry about me!" Gokudera said immediately.
"Then… Why do you keep doing that?" Tsuna asked, still slightly concerned.
"Don't worry about it Tenth. The training was hard, but worth it." Gokudera replied reassuringly.
"Huh? What do you mean worth it?" Tsuna asked, confused.
"I can protect you better now. I failed as your right-hand man before because I lacked the skill and knowledge. I'll do a better job now Tenth!" Gokudera told Tsuna, excited at the fact that he could fight hand-to-hand now.
"Erm… You were always doing a good job. Don't worry too much about it…" Tsuna said, slightly embarrassed by what Gokudera was doing.
"Well, at least he can, like, sort of fight without his explosives…" Hong Kong added in.
"There was no need to add that!" Gokudera yelled at him.
"Like, whatever." Hong Kong said in his monotone voice, walking away.
"Why you…" Gokudera muttered, face turning red from embarrassment and frustration. Seeing his face, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
