Chapter Ten

Vote for Miss Namimori!

"Alright class as you must know, the time has finally come for Namimori Middle School to host its Annual Miss. Namimori Beauty Pageant!" Standing at the front of class, announcing this happy piece of information, was the class female president.

"Really, it's that time already?" asked one girl.

"Maa, I love this time of the year! Beauty, Elegance, and Fashion!" squealed another girl.

"Hot girls!" exclaimed the majority of the boys in the room. This earning a disapproving glare from the girls.

"Now, I know all of you are happy, but each class assigns one person whom they want to compete in the competitions. So who shall we have from class 1-A to compete in the pageant?" asked the class president, pushing her sunglasses up on her face.

"Sasagawa Kyoko!" volunteered most of the class, except for a small few. Tsunami jumping out of her seat, making a bee-line to Gokudera, slapping her a hand over his mouth. Blame her intuition, it was telling her that Gokudera was about to volunteer her name. No way would she want to compete in such a thing, even though it was obvious who the class was going to pick.

"Maa, Tsuna maybe you should be-" Yamamoto about to suggest that Tsunami should join in the pageant, but was suddenly unable to finish, when sweet-shy-harmless Tsunami aimed a cold glare in his direction. A bead of sweat could be seen dropping from the back of his head. "M-Maa, never mind. . ."

"Alright! Sasagawa Kyoko it is!" The class President wrote Kyoko's name on the board. Kyoko smiled as the rest of her classmate began to congratulate her and boast about her for-sure win, seeing since she is the Namimori school idol.

"With Kyoko, class 1-A is for sure to bring home the win," said one of the students, as this was a competition between the different school years, to see which class had the most beautiful girl.

"Maa, after all, we do have the idol of Namimori competing for our class!" cheered a male student this time. Hearing this Tsunami had to agree with them, but not just because of Kyoko statues, but because she was such a sweet and nice person.

Brown eyes pointed at the orange haired girl, when she noticed the smile on Kyoko face seemed to be a bit strained. Causing her to wonder why Kyoko would have to force such a look on her face, so used to seeing the idol smiling freely and honestly.

"Oi Tsuna, is something wrong?" Yamamoto asked, taking in the expression of Tsuna's face.

"Ah-It's nothing!" Tsunami smiled. Forced to spin around, Gokudera placed his hand on her shoulders, looking her in the eyes.

"Hime are you sure everything is okay? Just tell me if something is bothering you," pleaded Gokudera, once again acting way too overprotective. "I-I'm okay Gokudera-kun."

"Watching these three can so boring sometimes," muttered Uri. Natsu yawn cutely. "Master can Natsu have a cookie?" Natsu asked politely.

"How about a stroll around the school?" suggested Jirou, Kojirou by his side. Only to see Natsu eating a cookie given to her by Tsunami, with Uri curled in her lap, taking a nap. "So lazy." The twins found themselves staring blankly at the scene.

Later that evening, Tsunami was on her way home, with just her and Natsu, when she heard someone shout out her name. A large pile of weight jumped on her back, arms secured around her neck, ones that belong to. . ."H-Haru!?"

"Hi Tsuna-chan! Guess what? I ran into Kyoko-chan and found out from Hana-chan, that she was voted to play a part in your school pageant. We're about to go pick out what dress should she wear!" As soon Tsunami heard the word shopping, dread filled her system, but Haru had a tight lock on her arm, and dragged her over to Hana and Kyoko.

"Look who I found! Looks like we're shopping with Tsuna-chan again!" exclaimed Haru. Tsunami wanted nothing more but to run home and hopefully relax. She had a tired long day, and wanted nothing more but to sleep and eat.

"Really? It's so great to have you come along Tsunami-chan!" Kyoko did that angel smile of hers, making Tsunami once again have a change of heart, giving in way too easily. On top of her head, Natsu sighed. "And you wonder why people misunderstand." Referring to the way people are quick to misjudge Tsunami feelings for the school idol.

Accepting her fate, Tsunami found herself once again dragged to the mall. The girls walking into every dress store they passed by. Currently they were in one of the stores, Kyoko modeling off one of the dresses to them.

"What do you think?" she asked wearing a pale peach, short strapless dress that fitted her perfectly. Having small bits of clear sparkly gems decorating the top, along with a gold shimmering design around the waist. This gave a nice flare to it, clearly shown as she twirled around.

"Nice," said Hana with a smile.

"You look great Kyoko-chan!" Haru gave a thumbs up.

"So pretty. . ." murmured Tsunami with big star, aweing eyes. Hearing this Kyoko blushed a little, feeling a little bit sheepish.

"She remind me of a princess!" exclaimed Natsu, when this sweet aroma hit her nose like a bolt of electricity. "What is this sweet smell? Natsu must go after it!" Brown eyes widen once she saw the fairy made a beeline exit out the door.

"N-Natsu? S-Sorry, but I-I have to go to the…umm…restroom! I'll be right back!" Tsunami sent a quick excuse to the group, as she made her way out the door. Trying to get to where the little fairy flew off to in hyper speed. Searching frantically, she ran into someone unexpectedly.

"Oya, what is this?" She heard a deep alluring voice say. Cheeks red, Tsunami was ready to send a quick apology to the figure, when suddenly, long arms wrapped himself around her waist, pulling her closer to his chest.

"Mukuro-kun who is this woman?" The confused small teen took in the angry voice of the person that was standing before her. A beautiful woman, with long, silky, curly locks of hair, having a figure of a model, and with the style of fashion to match. She looked to be at least six or seven years older than Tsunami, making her feel uncomfortable as the woman trapped with her fierce sapphire eyes, framed by thick eyelashes that scrutinized her.

"Kufufu~Maa, Rose-chan this is my lovely girlfriend who I was telling you about. Isn't she adorable?" smirked the figure, Tsunami blush worsened once she felt those arms tighten, a pair of lips lending down by her ear. "Just play along," he whispered.

"She's your girlfriend? You rejected a date with me, for something so. . ." Cold sapphire eyes looked Tsunami up and down. "She's not even fully developed yet. Why have something so premature, when you can have a fully grown woman by your side." Her voice dropped an octave, her tone of voice coming out as alluring and seducing.

"Rose-chan I don't appreciate you talking about my cute girlfriend in such a way. Even though she's still growing, I rather have the real than the fake," smirked the figure that still held Tsunami. The woman flushed a deep angry red, shooting a glare at Tsunami, before storming off.

Hearing the figure laugh that weird laugh of his, his arms loosen around her waist, freeing Tsunami, who then began to take a look at the figure who trapped her. What met her was a devilishly handsome, tall young man around her age or so, his hair style reminding her of a pineapple. Her eyes landed on the rare sight of heterochromatic eyes, which expressed amusement as they took in her small, slightly quivering form.

"Sorry about that Usagi-chan, but I needed your help to get away from that woman. Older woman can be very persistent, don't you agree." His slender fingers took hold of her chin, tilting her face up firmly as he lend in close. Tsunami cheeks were burning a deep shade of red, causing the handsome figure to smirk.

"Maybe I should give you a reward, my dear little Usagi-chan." His lips moved in close, the warning signal in Tsunami head was blaring, but was too late. As on that day not only did she meet a weird stranger, but she also lost her first kiss to the said stranger. To make matters worse, Kyoko, Hana, and Haru witnessed it all, when they were searching for the small brunette. Only to see her in the arms of a tall, dangerously handsome figure, whom she was locking lips with in public, the kiss shortly coming to an end. The figure left with a chuckle, while Tsunami on the other hand collapsed to the ground, entire body steaming and a complete flush taking over her body.

"Huh? What happen to Master?" Natsu said as she ate a chocolate-covered pretzel stick, stumbling upon the scene.

The next day at school, Tsunami barely paid attention to any of her classes, as if that would make a difference. Her mind was still in a fuzz as she kept having flashbacks of what happened the other day. A deep red blush showing on her cheeks, she resisted the urge to run and hide under the cover of her blanket. She wished the whole thing had never had happen in the first place.

"Tsuna are you alright?" Yamamoto asked, as he walked to her desk, hands resting behind his head.

"Hime you're burning up! Should I take you to the hospital?" Gokudera was slapped upside the head by Uri. "Stop panicking so quickly, idiot!"

"What you say old hag?"

"I'll scratch your freaking eyes out for that!" screamed Uri, hands transforming into cat-like paws with sharp long claws. She used them to claw at Gokudera face, who tried to fight her off. Tsunami didn't even try to stop the two this time.

"Oi Natsu what's wrong with your Master?" asked Kojirou.

"Master has reach adulthood and has become a woman!" declared Natsu. This getting the attention of the group, Gokudera and Uri paused their fight. Groaning in despair, Tsunami tried to stop Natsu from saying any more, but it was too late. "Master finally received her first kiss!"

With those six words, the atmosphere around the group dropped like a time bomb. "I-Is that so." For once, both Jirou and Kojirou were in shock to see the force strained smile that appeared on their master's face. Both of wondered why on earth was the baseball-star suddenly holding a bat, and a better question, where the heck did he pull that thing from?

"O-Oi brat, are you okay?" It was also a surprise to hear Uri's voice laced with worry, and that it was pointed at the stiff rigid form of Gokudera, who calmly walked over to Natsu. "Where did this kiss happen?" His voice was so calm, that they all just knew that it was the calm before the storm, literally.

"It was at that mall place," answered Natsu. Gokudera nodded his head, exiting off the roof. "G-Gokudera-kun where are you going?" Tsunami called after the silverette, but did not receive an answer. "Maa, excuse me. But looks like I have do some searching as well." Yamamoto said, not sounding right with a forced laugh. He left the school roof-top as well.

"Aren't you gonna follow him?" Natsu asked Uri. "Trust me, I do not want to be there once that storm unleashes," said Uri in a deadpanned voice. "And you two?" Natsu turn her chibi head to the two Rain Spirits. "The same. Don't want to be under any heavy fierce rain today," they answered with hands behind their heads.

Tsunami found herself sighing once again, something which she been doing a lot lately, finger lightly touching her lips. "Pineapple," she muttered, talking about his hair style, as that word always pop into her head everytime she thought about the strange man that stole her first kiss.

Breaking her out of her muse, was the newly opened door to the roof. Walking through it Tsunami spotted three upperclassmen, all of whom were popular and beautiful third years. And Kyoko was walking behind them. "Do sempai want something from me?" asked Kyoko innocently. Only to receive a sneer from the brunette in the middle.

"So this is the so-called idol of Namimori. She's not all that if you ask me. Sure she's cute, but I'm much more beautiful." The brunette flip her ponytail. An aura of arrogance shone around her while she talked.

"My face is way prettier than hers," huffed a shorter girl, with thick wavy locks of soft pink hair.

"She must have bribed people. There's no way such a girl can be call the idol of our school," replied the snooty last girl on the right, with pretty, long, straight, jet-black hair. She then pushed some pieces of locks behind her ear.

"Ano. . ." Kyoko begin to fidget under their highly disapproving stares. Fingers playing with the hem of her skirt.

"She's scared. How lame. Let me just state this before we leave. We will not allow ourselves to lose to you, a girl who does not deserve the title of our school idol. You're weak, lame, and unworthy." Each word felt like a knife stabbing through Kyoko's heart. "Maa, she's even more lame than that Dame-Tsuna girl."

"Oh you mean that stupid girl in class 1-A. The sight of her disgusts me. Her face is not pretty at all." The rude words were spoken from the pink-haired girl who carried herself like a princess.

"Low academic skills. Zero athletic skills. No taste in fashion. She's not only an embarrassment to our school, but as a girl as well." The haughty voice of the one on the right end, caused the sweet angel of Namimori to snap.

"Don't you dare call Tsunami-chan those things! Just because she a bit different from others, don't give you all the right to harass her in such a cruel way. Tsunami-chan is a cute girl. She's sweet, nice, and generous. So don't talk about her like that!" Kyoko was a bit surprised at herself as she tried to recall the last time she ever felt so angry.

"W-What the. . .? H-How dare you speak back to us?!" The upperclassmen in the middle was flabbergasted, a glare set on her pretty face as she raised her hand, ready to strike. Kyoko closed her eyes, only to hear the strike hit someone else who was not her. Opening her eyes, which widened at who she saw defending her. "T-Tsunami-chan?" Kyoko felt something was off with the shorter brunette.

A hand raising to her cheek, two cold, orange, and intense eyes shot a look at the group, who suddenly felt scared, taking several cautious steps back. "Beauty and popularity are not what define a person. It what's in here that does." Tsunami pointed her thumb at her chest coolly. Everyone who was on the roof, couldn't help but admire the cool brunette, missing the arrogant smirk Uri wore on her face.

"W-Well whatever! We said our piece. Next time we meet will be during the competition, so you better prepare yourself to lose!" notified the girl who stood in the middle, taking their leave once finished. As soon they were out of sight, the cool atmosphere around Tsunami disappeared, dropping down to her knees, unable to hold herself up anymore.

"Uri I told you not to do that anymore. . ." muttered Tsunami, when suddenly a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her neck. "K-K-Kyoko-chan!?" Tsunami felt her cheeks burning. Pulling back, Kyoko beamed a teary gaze at Tsunami. "Tsu-chan is so brave!" declared Kyoko, sunlight beaming down on her as she praised the brunette.

"T-T-Tsu-chan?"

"The way you defended me was so cool! Who knew Tsu-chan can be so cool and spicy!" announced Kyoko, still praising the blushing brunette.

"W-Well I couldn't let them s-say those things about you. Not after y-you defended me. Even though it hasn't been the first time I heard those words aimed at me. I-It was the first time I heard someone s-stick up for me. I felt really happy about what you said about me, Kyoko-chan." Tsunami beamed an innocent smile that had Kyoko see this different warm light around the girl.

"Tsu-chan so cute," stated Kyoko. Once again making Tsunami blush. "I must admit what you said, made me feel better as well. You might not have noticed, but ever since I was elected to compete in the pageant, I haven't been so confident in myself. I felt all this pressure piled up on me, but hearing you say that has washed away all my fears." Kyoko's eyes did not cast doubt in them anymore. Instead they shined with determination. "I want to win now, but not only for myself, but for you as well Tsu-chan!" smiled Kyoko.

"T-Tsu-chan?" Seeing the smile that lit up on Kyoko face, Tsunami returned one back. "I know you'll win Kyoko-chan," she smiled, fully believing in the orange haired girl.

"Thank-you Tsu-chan. So you better make sure you watch me win, so that I can bring back the trophy for the both of us."

"Hai!" They shook hands on it. Hiding on the other side of the door, stood Hana with smile. She had reached the stairs right when Tsunami had interfered. "You really are something Tsunami."

"Why do you two look so tired?" Tsunami asked the tired teens, one on each side of her. It was now the day of the school pageant, and all the students were making their way to the school gym, where the pageant will be held.

"They were up all night searching when they ran into that freaking Skylark, who said they were disturbing the peace. They then fought and lost easily to him, thus ending the day with them in pain," Uri said with her short version of the story.

"Don't worry Hime. I will catch that bastard who would dare steal such a precious thing from you. When I get my hands on him, he's dead." For some reason, the way Gokudera said the word dead with such venom in his voice, scared Tsunami. She feared for the guy if Gokudera ever got his hands on him.

"I feel so tired. Ne, Tsuna restore my energy with a kiss?" Yamamoto asked casually. Tsunami with flaming cheeks blamed the question on the star athlete's tiredness. She then blocked out the thunderous voice of an upset, fuming Gokudera. Unknown to them, outside and walking in the direction of the school gym, was a figure with red hair and violet eyes. A hint of a smile was shown on her face, as she peered up at the school. "Let's get a little chaotic shall we."

The gym was noisy, seeing the pageant was just under its way of getting started. Some people were talking about who will bring home the win, when all of sudden all three teens suddenly sensed an ominous dark threat in the building. "Master I'm sensing a Dark Halve, but. . ." Natsu felt as if her head was hurting a bit.

"Oi, are you sensing it as well?" Uri asked Jirou and Kojirou, who nodded their heads at her question.

"What are you three sensing?" asked Tsunami, which resulted in having all three spirits answer at the same time. "There's more than one Dark Halve." Well this was certainly a shock to all three teens. Then a scream was heard backstage. Running back stage, they saw the three girls who Tsunami recognized as the ones who were bullying Kyoko the other day. All of them had a black hole on their chest. Running out the backdoor that lead outside, they saw in the air not one, but three Dark Halve chasing after Kyoko and Hana.

"I never seen three of them at once before," mused Uri. "No time for chit-chat Uri!" Gokudera said to the spirit. "I got'cha!" She then turned into a small red ball of flames, and had Gokudera change into his Guardian of Storm form.

"Yamamoto!" Both Jirou and Kojirou did the same as Uri, changing Yamamoto into his Guardian of the Rain form.

"Master!" Natsu called on Tsunami. "Awaken and unleash My Dying Will!" Transforming just like the others, Tsunami was now in her Guardian of Sky form. "Engulfing and Pure. The Symbol of Freedom and Harmony . . . Guardian of the Sky!" announced Tsunami as dodged an incoming attack from one of the Dark Halve that came flying at her. Yamamoto defended himself with his sword against ice shards that were raining down at him from the Dark Halve he was facing. Gokudera threw bombs at another which could release balls of fire.

Suddenly all three Dark Halve flew into the sky together, the one in the middle releasing this bright shining light, blinding all three on the ground below. They were unable to see the next incoming attacks from the other two creatures, which had released ice shards and fireballs down at the group. Hearing noises coming from behind them, Hana look back and saw what looked to be an explosion of some type, both of the two trying to catch their breath.

"Just what was that thing?" asked Hana, still not believing her own eyes.

"I . . . I think I saw those things before…I feel like. . ." Just then Kyoko's memory from that time on roof came to her, remembering everything as if it was yesterday. A gasp escaped her mouth, standing straight on her feet. "Tsu-chan!" With a cry, Kyoko took off in the direction which they ran from, Hana looking confused, deciding to follow after her. Hana wondered what was up with her best-friend, and why she suddenly screamed Tsunami's name.

"Oi brat try to shake it off! You're still injured from that beat down that Skylark gave you," Uri told Gokudera, who was holding his own, but with a bit of struggle. "Tch, this is nothing. Besides, I'm more worried about Juudahime."

"You're alright Tsuna?" asked Yamamoto as he helped Tsuna stand.

"I'm fine," reassured Tsunami, before feeling her senses go off, sensing another attack. "Get out of the way!" she suddenly screamed, pushing them both out of the way, but yet not herself. Making it only her to get hit this time. Both Yamamoto and Gokudera screamed out to her, as both fireballs and ice shards rained down on her.

"Tsu-chan!" Running onto the scene, was both Kyoko and Hana. Tears forming in the idol's eyes as she watched her bruised friend get attacked, a hand clutching her heart. "Don't give up Tsu-chan! You either Yamamoto-kun! Gokudera-kun! Please help Tsu-chan!" cried Kyoko. Her tearful voice caused both guardians to stand on their feet. Gokudera out with dynamite, and Yamamoto out with his sword.

"Gokudera hit the one in middle! It's the one blinding us!" instructed Uri. "I know that, but the only one with the ability to fly is Juudahime. Wait." Gokudera pointed his attention over at the girl who still managing to stand. "Juudahime! The sky!" Gokudera pointed to the sky, both Rain and Sky looking in the direction he was pointing at, before getting what he was hinting at.

In a second Tsunami took off, soaring high into the sky, where she was able to spot all three Dark Halve, but still wasn't able to purify all three, seeing how they were standing far apart from each other. With a high kick, Tsuna sent the Dark Halve in the middle, the one giving them the most trouble, crashing down to ground. The gave both Yamamoto and Gokudera a clear view and shot of the other two, bombs and a powerful sword slash sending both of the creatures down as well.

Now that they were all together, Tsunami was able to purify the three Dark Halves all together. "With My Dying Will, I unleash the darkness from your heart!" Tsunami purified all three Dark Halves. Once after all three Dark Halves had been purified, they undid their transformations. Then Tsunami dropped to her knees all of a sudden.

"Hime/Tsuna/Tsu-chan!" came the worried voices that came running towards her. Both Gokudera and Yamamoto helped her to stand on her feet. "Hime hang in there!" voiced a worried Gokudera.

"Tsuna what's wrong?" asked a worried Yamamoto.

"It's due to her purifying three Dark Halves all at once for the first time. Ciaossu!" Dropping and landing on Tsunami's head was Reborn. "Don't worry she'll get used to it. This is her job as the Guardian of the Sky. The reincarnation of the Sky Goddess," stated Reborn. This drew the attention of her two guardians, along with Kyoko and Hana.

"Sky Goddess? What the heck is that? And what the heck are you three?" Hana suddenly asked the group, as Kyoko stepped forward towards Tsunami, worried eyes pointing at the tired girl.

"The pageant is starting soon." Large onyx eyes peered down at the orange haired girl. "B-but Tsu-chan…"

"Go," came a soft whisper. All eyes pointed at Tsunami, who had slowly begun to reopen her eyes. "Go. Don't forget the promise we made, remember. That you'll win for both of us. I believe in you Kyoko-chan." Tsunami sent a small tired smile in the girl's direction.

"Tsu-chan. . .Okay, I'll go. For both of us."

Faraway, hidden deep within the shadows, the redheaded woman smirked, on her phone was a picture of Tsunami in her Sky Form. "Looks like I have something special to show Mukuro-chan." The figure smirked, before taking her leave. Right after she left, large onyx eyes narrowed in the direction she left in. 'So it's begun.'

"Hime are you sure you're feeling okay?" Gokudera worriedly asked the small brunette. The pageant was now ongoing, and Tsunami was determined not to miss Kyoko. After all she made a promise she wanting to uphold. To be there to support Kyoko, after all she had done for her.

"Thank you for worrying about me, but I'm fine," smiled Tsunami, before suddenly feeling Yamamoto pressing his forehead against hers. "You don't have a fever and you seem okay. So I'll take your word Tsuna!" grinned Yamamoto, face still close to a flushing Tsunami.

"Oi bastard. Back the fuck away from Hime, if you know what's good," growled Gokudera, pulling Tsunami close to him and away from Yamamoto. Next to appear on stage was Kyoko dressed in the cute beautiful dress she had tried on in the shop. A flower pinned in her hair, and walking with grace, poise, and confidence. Compliments and awes in low murmuring voices, was heard from all the students, as she reached the mic.

"I, Sasagawa Kyoko, thinks what defines a person is not their statue, popularity, or fame, but what lies inside their heart. It cannot be judged by what's on the outside, but what lies in the inside that defines who they really are as a person. You will never know what lies inside a person, until you have gathered the courage to see for yourself. Just like I, who never really knew a special someone, until I finally gathered my own courage see for myself the amazing person that she is. Just because someone may seem like something, doesn't mean you should judge them, but yet judge yourself first." When Kyoko finished the entire gym was in silence, when suddenly Hana stood on her feet clapping her hand. Soon everyone joined her, followed by cheers and rooting. "I think it's obvious who won," smiled Yamamoto, who was up on his feet clapping.

"Kyoko-chan!" Tears of appreciation streamed down Tsunami's face. Natsu held a box of tissues, crying herself.

"Tch, Hime would have won with no problems," scoffed Gokudera with confidence. "Yeah, you keep telling yourself that brat," deadpanned Uri.

In a large, spacious, and dark room, mannequins dressed in high fashionable, yet dark clothes were posed behind him. There was sewing material sitting on a long square shaped desk. On the couch sat a figure, holding his phone in his hand, which showed a picture of Tsunami in her Sky form. "So this is the little Sky Goddess. Kufufu~ what an adorable little Usagi-chan." Heterochromatic eyes gleamed in the dark. In his room, a large flat screen T.V was playing, showing a concert taking place, a figure on the stage singing. "Let's the games begin, shall we."
