Title: Stormy Sky
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Warning: Unbeta and horrible grammar…man…
Takami stiffened and closed her mouth. She didn't manage to say anything since the brunet had beaten her to it. The girl was surprised with Tsuna's statement.
"What?" She said in soft voice and eyed the boy warily.
"I mean what I said Takami. I love you." Tsuna said calmly.
"Do you really understand what you have just said?"
"Yes."
"I don't get it…y-you're a player! Playboy!" Takami gasped and took few steps back.
"W-What?" Tsuna took few steps forward. "Wait Takami."
"First you exposed your feelings to Sasagawa-senpai and then Miura-san started following you around and then there is Bianchi-san and…and Chrome-san too! Now you're dragging me into your harem?! Hell no!" Takami yelled at the end and glared at the brunet. "Stay away!"
Tsuna shook his head and waving his hands. "No you're wrong! Chrome is a friend and fellow guardian though I not really want to say it and Bianchi is just uh…Reborn's lover I think…Haru is also a friend and Kyoko, yes she is my crush but now not anymore." He stopped before taking a deep breath and looked at the first year. "And you are different from them…you always…always…stirs internal storm in my heart. All of them don't give me this weird feeling but when you are around…it's different…"
"How come?" The girl eyed the boy uncertainly.
"I don't know…It just feels right when I kissed you…"
"What?!" Takami's eyes widened and instantly she grabbed the boy's sweater collar. "Explain." She hissed acidly.
Tsuna gulped. "Uh…Remember that time…when we were at future…you were crying hard that evening…at that park…"
"What about that?" The girl narrowed her gaze as she remembered the sad feeling she had back then.
"You cried till you sleep and…I couldn't help myself…I was confused…why I always feel weird when with you and then I kissed you." Tsuna grabbed Takami's hand and slowly released her hold. "And then I'm sure why you always stirred this feeling to me."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Takami?"
"Damn…This is shocking…" Takami groaned as she rubbed her face. "And that was my first kiss!" She shouted and felt her face became hot. "Damn you Tsuna!"
"Ah…"
"Don't just 'ah' me you…you…Ah!"
"I'm not going to say sorry for it," Tsuna said calmly and looked straight at the girl. "And I'm not regretting it at all. That was my first kiss too."
"Since when you are this bold? Last I remembered that you're not like this?!" The first year shrieked at the end.
"I don't know?" The brunet blinked innocently.
Takami sighed and showed the box. "Fine, whatever. I don't care anymore. Here, you earn it." The girl threw the box of chocolate towards the brunet and saw the boy caught it rather clumsily but the box was safely landed at the right owner.
Tsuna stared at the small box in his hand carefully. "This is…"
Takami looked away and rubbed her arm. "Open it…" She said softly.
Understood what the girl had meant, Tsuna quickly opened the box and pulled out a small piece of paper from the lid. Carefully he opened the folded paper and his eyes widened at the words written on it.
I love you, Sawada Tsunayoshi.
When he looked up from the paper, Takami was no longer around and he stood alone under the bridge.
The boy smiled warmly and stared at the small paper in his hand.
"I knew it…"
Takami panted heavily and slowly keep her pace so that she could breathe easily. The girl slowly gained her breath and looked at the bright sky. The girl reached Namimori Park and she walked under shady tree.
"What are we now after this?" Takami said and looked at the lake. "I never thought that our feelings are mutual…he always likes Sasagawa-senpai…it is very obvious too…"
"What about try holding each other hands first?" A soft voice suggested an idea.
Stiffened, the twin tailed girl slowly turned around and her brown eyes met with green haired girl.
"Yuni!" Takami gasped. "You are…you are alive!"
"I am…Hello Takami." Yuni smiled. "So, what do you feel about your confession and the kiss?"
The first year shrugged and avoided the innocent gaze. "I don't know w-what are you talking about."
"Hm, those brownies sure did taste better when you are sharing it with someone you love."
"Yuni! H-How?!" Takami yelled and blushed heavily. After gaining her normal color, the twin tailed girl looked at the young girl. "What are you doing here?"
Yuni still wore her smile but she had this in business aura around. "I need you Takami."
"Um, okay?" The first year blinked innocently.
It was during breakfast, Takami took a notice of new addition on her brother. Her eyes focused at his wrist with a watch.
Takeshi was happily munching his food, didn't notice the look from the girl.
Takami sipped the soup, savoring at the taste when the boy quickly stood up and went to the sink, placing his empty bowls and plate.
"I'll go first, later!"
"Careful Take-kun." Ayaka said as she went to the kitchen with a coffee mug in her hand and looked at her daughter. "Hurry up Taka-chan or you will be late."
"Don't worry mom, I'll be just fine." Takami said and grinned.
The girl then eyed the kitchen entrance as she heard the door closed with soft click before focusing at the watch on her wrist. She raised her eyebrows silently questioning what had just happened.
Weird, Take-nii really didn't notice it huh?
Somehow the first battle was happened during their school time. Takami eyed Takeshi who ran to the school building and sighed in relief once the boy was no longer around. The girl looked around and saw Miyuki was having a discussion with their coach regarding the club budget and the other members were focusing at their practice. No one was focusing at her and the girl was glad for that.
Slowly Takami raised her hand from covering the boss watch on her wrist and she quickly grabbed her phone from her bag and called certain girl she met few days ago.
"Hello Takami." Yuni answered calmly.
"Yuni! The battle is starting and I nearly lost half of my life when Take-nii runs in front of me! I don't want to fight him! He is scary when he is holding his bat or much worst his sword!"
"Just calm down Takami. Don't worry just stay still for five minutes and everything is going to be fine."
"Sure, sure," Takami sighed. "Why I did agree on this again?" She shrugged.
Yuni chuckled at the other side and smiled. "Because you're my protector? You did well when those two were fighting over the boss watch."
When both Yuni and Takami reached the mansion, they were greeted with loud voices. Gamma and Byakuran were having a fight. The twin tailed girl raised her eyebrows and looked at the sky arcobaleno who stood silently nearby.
"Okay, what is this all about now?"
"You see, during at the future you learned about tri-ni-sette, right?"
Takami nodded. "Yeah…and you have that." She pointed at the orange pacifier around her necklace. "That's sky pacifier, and every each of you are strong in your own field. I know that much at least."
Yuni nodded once before looking at the older girl. "Yes, and we also bearing a curse…"
"Curse?" The first year questioned softly and blinked in realization. "I can guess the curse but somehow you're not in the picture Yuni. Do you have a different one?"
"My grandmother did have the same curse like others but we sky arcobaleno has another curse…"
"And?"
"Our lifespan is much shorter…that's the extra one we have."
Takami gulped at the news. "Then…your mother…I mean Aria-san?"
"She is alive." Yuni smiled.
The twin tailed girl sighed in relief.
"Recently we received news that we have this chance to break this curse…"
"What? Really?!"
Yuni chuckled. "Yes, really."
"How?"
"We are fighting each other in representative battle. Each of us has to gather our representative to fight for our side since as you said earlier each of us are strong in our own filed thus it will be unfair if we are going to fight each other directly. And the one who win the battle will have his/her curse lifted."
"Oh…" Takami wondered at certain sun arcobaleno. I wonder how his look when he is in his right age. The girl quickly shook her head and looked at Yuni. "But, what can I do? I don't have any extra power like Take-nii and others…the least I can do is igniting my brass knuckles." Takami eyed her weapons.
"That's plenty Takami-chan, you're already strong without flame on your weapon."
The first year blushed. "Um…that was just…brute force?"
"Still it helped a lot…" Yuni smiled and pointed at certain direction. "You see there? Can you stop them? I can't be a peacemaker since they really don't hear me at the moment."
"Boys…" Takami groaned and without wasting any moment, she punched both young men.
Gamma and Byakuran stopped their verbal fight and looked at the twin tailed girl who was eyeing her hands.
"The heck was that?" Gamma groaned. "Is that brace knuckles?!"
"You sure not play nicely here Takami-chan." Byakuran said gleefully while rubbing his sore stomach.
"You both are annoying and loud, can't you both see that Yuni is irritated with your actions?" Takami sighed and grabbed the largest watch from the case. "You guys fighting over this? I'll take it. No more fighting over it both of you."
Yuni clasped her hands and smiled happily. "Then it's decided, Takami-chan you're wearing the boss watch."
The twin tailed girl sighed and sat on bench in defeat. "Seriously, they are just acting like a bunch of kids! And I can't believe myself that I took this watch!" Takami stared at the boss watch on her wrist.
"Well, that's Byakuran and Gamma!" Yuni cheerfully said.
"This will be the longest of five minutes in my life," Takami said and shrugged.
Since their parents had been married each other, Takami was always could be found walking back home with the raven haired baseball ace. Only sometimes when Takeshi got extra class of getting bad score in his test, the twin tailed girl walked back home with her best friend.
But even Miyuki got her own schedule after school. She had her piano practice and sometimes dates with her boyfriend.
Takami was jealous at the dating part.
It happened today was the day she went back alone. The girl was glad as the baseball ace didn't come back to their club room after the longest five minutes had ended. Miyuki also was gone early as she had a date with her boyfriend to a bookstore.
"What kind of date if they are going to a bookstore?"
Takami sighed and shrugged as she tightened her grasp on the bag. Actually she was pretty glad since everyone was gone in their own way as she also was on her way to certain place.
Once reaching the mansion inside the forest nearby Namimori, Takami was being greeted by certain green haired girl at the entrance.
"Takami, you're fine!" Yuni smiled.
"Of course, I stayed still and no one doubts my weird action."
"Good to hear that."
"What had happened here? Is everyone alright? Are you okay Yuni?" Takami asked as she scanned the girl.
"Princess is fine," Gamma said as he showed up followed with certain white haired teenager nearby.
"We protected her well and what about your side Takami-chan?" Byakuran asked with a smile.
The first year shrugged and showed the intact boss watch. "Don't worry; we are still in the game." She said and shrugged. "And I lost half of my life when Take-nii ran in front of me."
"Well, they are going to summarize the first battle soon, ready everyone." Yuni clasped her hands and once she ended her speech, the watches shined with bright light and they could see the conclusion of the first fight.
"I'm home!" Takeshi said as he entered the house.
"Welcome back, Take-nii." Takami answered while still lie on her stomach and flipped another pages of her book. "There are some fruit tarts in the kitchen." She added at the end and read the content of the new page. The girl was surprised as she arrived at empty house when she came back from Yuni's place. It didn't take too long for the baseball ace to come home.
"Oh okay…um…Taka-chan?"
"Yeah?" The girl was too lazy to move from her comfortable position.
"I bring some friends…and they are going to stay over here…"
"Hey baseball freak, how long we are going to standing here?" Gokudera yelled at the entrance. "Tenth is hurt and need some rest." He added with his loud voice.
"Um, Gokudera-kun, I'm fine…really." Tsuna said timidly as if there was nothing wrong with him at all.
Takami quickly sat up from her previous position and looked at the living room entrance. Her gaze focused at the raven haired boy. "Friends? Is that Gokudera and Tsuna I heard?" The girl asked carefully. She knew either sooner or later Takeshi would bring his close friends came to their place. It seemed that the day had come.
Takeshi scratched his cheek and grinned. "Well, yeah…they are."
"Stay over? You mean sleeping here? Here as in our house?"
Takeshi scratched his head and grinned. "Maa…yeah? Is it okay?"
"Do mom and dad know?"
"I texted them already and they are fine with it." The raven paused. "Ah they also coming back late today…late night dating…or something like that? I guess…"
"Oh…" Takami nodded. Carefully pulling down her sleeves enough to cover the watch on her wrist, she sighed and smiled. "At least we have enough tarts for them too."
"That's cool." The raven scratched his head.
"Don't act awkward now…I know what you guys up too…just don't make loud noise or I'll kick all of you out from this house." Takami casually said and glanced at the baseball ace. The girl hoped the raven didn't catch the hint in her words.
Takeshi blinked and stared at the youngest member of their home before he shook his head lightly.
"Well, sorry in advance if we disturb you, Taka-chan." Takeshi grinned.
The twin tailed girl just smiled as her response and grasping the watch under her sleeve carefully.
I hope there will be no fight here.
Both Takami and Takeshi said in their mind.
"Ciaossu Takami," Reborn greeted as he entered the living room.
"Eh, kid…sorry for making you wait so long…" Takeshi said and quickly went to the entrance.
"Hello, Reborn…" Takami answered the greeting.
"I see that you're now living together with Yamamoto since your parents are married."
The girl chuckled. "That's right; please make yourself at home Reborn."
The arcobaleno smirked before he casually jumped on Takeshi's shoulder. Apparently the boys stood at the entrance of the living room.
Takami eyed the other two guests and quickly averted her gaze when she saw certain brunet's face.
"Please make your selves at home Tsuna and Gokudera," Takami said casually and picked up her book. "I'll call you guys when dinner is ready."
"Um, you cook?" Tsuna asked as he looked at the girl collecting her homework and set into a tidy pile.
After the confession day, both of them didn't see each other at all as the brunet suddenly got his hands full with the arcobaleno's event. He eyed the boss watch on his wrist and silently hoped that Takami didn't involve in this new mafia thing.
The twin tailed girl lightly touched her hand as her eyes noticed Tsuna was staring at certain accessory on his wrist. Ah…so he is the boss too…
"Taka-chan's food is wonderful! You both are really lucky today." The baseball ace beamed happily. "Tonight is her turn to prepare the dinner."
"Take-nii…" Takami frowned and blushed slightly. "Well, I'll call you guys later." She said and went upstairs.
Closing her door, the girl panicked.
"Tsu-Tsuna is here…and he is going to have dinner here too?!" Takami shrieked softly and grabbed her head. "This is too sudden! What should I make?!"
Their dinner was awkward. Takeshi was confused and really didn't know what he should do.
"Who are you siding now Takami?!" Gokudera yelled while one of his hands holding a bowl of half eaten rice and the other one was holding a pair of chopsticks. He stood up from his seat and eyed the girl warily.
The only girl in the kitchen simply rolled her eyes and silently munching her food.
"Um, Taka-chan…please explain it?" Takeshi asked softly.
"And you baseball freak! Didn't you saw that watch on her recently?"
"Maa…I'm not? Sorry?"
"You're not sounded sorry at all!"
"G-Gokudera-kun…calm down…" Tsuna patted the silver haired boy's arm and once the dynamite user had relaxed, he looked at Takami. "Um, Takami…can you tell us?"
Takami paused and looked at the brunet and the said boy stared at her face. After a while both were blushing heavily and looked away avoiding each other gaze.
Takeshi silently ate his rice while eyeing the weird reaction from the two.
"We will know sooner or later about this Tsuna, just focus on your dinner," Reborn casually said as he enjoyed the food. "Your cooking is tasty Takami."
"Yeah, I told you guys she is good!" Takeshi grinned and winced as his eyes clashed with Gokudera's angry gaze. "Maa…enjoy the food?"
"Tch! It is good." The silver haired boy grunted and slowly sat down. "Thanks…" He muttered softly and looked away. "You better stay away from us Takami!"
The first year sighed. "Yeah, yeah…"
Gokudera was missing from the kitchen while Takeshi and Tsuna were doing the cleaning. It was untold arrangement for Takami and Takeshi as the girl had cooked the food thus the boy will do the cleaning and vice versa.
Takami and Reborn sat at the living room.
"You must know who I'm participating for."
"I have a hunch."
Takami smiled and shrugged. "She will explain more tomorrow." She said and lowered her phone from her sight. Apparently the girl had been texting certain person about the situation. "I forgot to keep a good cover earlier." The girl frowned and glared at the coffee table. She was too busy preparing the food and table thus forgetting about her rolled sleeves.
It was after few munch of their food when certain storm guardian opened his mouth about the watch on the girl's wrist.
Takami shrugged at the memory. I was too nervous since Tsuna is going to eat my food as dinner then I totally forgot about the watch and had blown my own cover!
"You must worry about your food since he is here."
"Ah…" The girl stiffened.
"Want to impress him?" Reborn smirked.
"Um…"
"You passed Takami."
"What?" Takami blinked.
"Yes and you make a good coffee too." The sun arcobaleno sipped his espresso.
The twin tailed girl eyed the small figure confusedly. "You're welcome, Reborn." She said softly and opened a book she had read earlier. Nah…Reborn's team isn't going to destroy my watch here…and Yuni told me about the alliance too…I can relax now…
Tsuna eyed the two figures at the living room as he was drying the plates and wondered what kind of conversation happened between Takami and Reborn. The brunet focused at the plate in his hand before staring at Takami again.
"She acted like there is nothing happened between us before this…" The brunet muttered to himself.
"Tsuna," Takeshi called Tsuna as he stopped beside the shorter boy.
"Um yeah?"
"After we are done with this battle, I want to have a talk with you." The baseball ace said without any cheerfulness in his tone.
The brunet instantly looked at the rain guardian."Um…sure Yamamoto." Tsuna answered softly.
Takeshi grinned and took the dry plates. "Cool and thanks for helping me here."
"Ah, I'm just doing what I can do…you guys treat us for dinner and this is the least I can do…"
"No need to worry Tsuna," Takeshi grinned as he closed the cupboard. "Taka-chan's food is really good, right?" He winked.
Tsuna nodded. "Yeah…you're so lucky Yamamoto…" The brunet muttered softly at the end. You get to eat her food from time to time and I just got this lucky moment for today…I think… He sulked in his mind and went stiff. And we got surprising news too. I never thought Takami will be involved in this…and she is representing who? Sky arcobaleno? But who?
"Hm?" The taller boy looked at the sky guardian curiously. "What's wrong Tsuna?"
Tsuna shook his head. "Ah it's nothing…where is Gokudera-kun?" He looked around the room. "I don't see him around."
The baseball ace laughed. "Well I don't want to have anything broken here so I led him to the shower first."
Tsuna joined the laugh. "Ah…I understand." He said and shrugged as he remembered the 'eat and run' accident.
At least I'm not clumsy when doing the housework.
Another day passing and it was lunch time. Both Takami and Miyuki had taken a seat at the twin tailed girl's desk once their teacher went out after the bell rang. The brown haired girl eyed her best friend carefully as she remembered about their weird date at the bookstore.
"So what are you two really doing at the bookstore?" Takami asked casually as she opened her lunch box.
Miyuki blushed and focused at her own food. "Um…"
"Um…?"
"Well we are…searching for a revision book…then…we k-k-kissed…It's our f-first kiss…"
The twin tailed girl chocked on her food and instantly regretted that she asked the question.
"Taka-chan! Are you okay?" Miyuki stood up instantly.
"I'm…*cough*…F-Fine! *cough*…d-don't worry!" Takami said as she punched her chest few times. The twin tailed girl quickly grabbed her water bottle and gulped some water before calmed down entirely. "Sorry…just surprised…it has been how many months since you guys dating each other and you two have your first kiss just yesterday?"
The raven haired girl smiled and clasped her hands. "It was so…romantic, we did it between the book shelves…and it felt fiery too…I just…Taka-chan!"
The twin tailed girl was now crouching on the floor and cough repeatedly. Raising one hand and grab the desk, she stood up. "I'm fine…um…I'm going to the washroom…"
Miyuki laughed awkwardly as she stared at the wet patches on Takami's uniform. "Um…sorry if it is shocking you too much…"
"Ahaha…I'll be back fast…" Takami shrugged and quickly went out from their classroom.
Once done cleaning and washed her mouth and hands, Takami stared at her reflection from the mirror on the wall. Absentmindedly she touched her lips with her right hand.
"I don't know…It just feels right when I kissed you…"
The twin tailed girl blushed and looked away from the mirror. Ah…we aren't even in any relationship and far from the first base already…
"I'm not going to say sorry for it," Tsuna said calmly and looked straight at the girl. "And I'm not regretting it at all. That was my first kiss too."
The girl's eyes narrowed as she remembered Tsuna's words. Making a fist with left hand, the girl released an angry aura around making other girls inside the washroom quickly left the place.
Slamming her fist on the counter, Takami released a sigh. "You might not regret it…but it was unfair to me…Ah! I want to punch his face so much!"
"Hm, those brownies sure did taste better when you are sharing it with someone you love."
Takami grabbed her head and groaned in her hands as she remembered Yuni's casual statement. "And I'm the one who initiate it too! Damnnn!" She cursed loudly and one girl who was entering the room quickly halted at the entrance and went out silently.
Miyuki eyed her best friend who came back from the washroom. "Hey you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine," Takami said casually and picked up her chopsticks. "So…you guys take everything slow huh?"
The raven haired girl smiled shyly and nodded. "Um, yeah…we just…yeah…"
The twin tailed girl munched her food and nodded. "Mm good…mn…for you…"
"Stop talking with full mouth Taka-chan!"
"Sorry!"
"Man…now I'm really worry about your future Taka-chan…"
"You always say that Miyuki…"
The raven haired girl crossed her arms. "Of course! Knowing that you liked someone before and failed at exposing your feeling to whoever he is…"
"I told him already!" Takami sighed. "In a paper…"
Miyuki stopped from her rambling and stared at her best friend. She blinked once and then few times before sure that was Takami who sat in front of her. "You're blushing…."
"Is that the issue right now?!"
"Aw…you are shy~~" Miyuki taunted and smirked.
"S-Shut up!"
"Aw…Taka-chan is shy…"
"Miyuki!" Takami growled and slammed her fists on her desk thus gaining attention from few their classmates whom were still in the room instead of having lunch outside.
Miyuki quickly laughed awkwardly and waved to her friends as if to mention there was nothing wrong with the brown haired girl. Focusing at fuming Takami, the raven haired girl smiled. "Um…sorry? Calm down please?"
"Tch! You're not sounding sorry at all Miyuki," The twin tailed girl scoffed.
"Heheh…so…you did tell him your feeling…then what happened?"
"Nothing…"
"What?"
"I ran away."
"Huh? Ran away?"
"Yea…I ran away…which part of ran away you don't understand?" Takami grunted.
"I get it, just…wow…I'm surprised." Miyuki closed her empty lunch box. "Then you don't know his answer."
"Our feelings are mutual…he said it first…" Takami shrugged and looked away. She was also done with her lunch and slowly her hands work on the empty container.
The raven haired girl stared at her best friend confusedly. "Care to tell me what was actually happened?"
"I'm your best friend and I still have no idea who the guy that you like so much is," Miyuki frowned as they walked out from their school building and went to the main gate.
"Mm…"
"Is he in the same school with us?"
Takami nodded and somehow they stopped from their walk after few steps outside the gate. Someone had called the twin tailed girl.
"Takami…"
The twin tailed girl looked at the brunet and narrowed her gaze. "Tsuna." She greeted the brunet.
Miyuki stood silently and simply stared at the interaction between the two.
"Um, are you okay?" Tsuna asked while eyeing the twin tailed girl carefully.
"Tsk!" Takami gritted her teeth and grabbed the boy's shirt collar with both hands. "Damn…I really want to punch you face so much but…"
"B-but what?" Tsuna asked warily.
"Never mind!" The girl released her grasp harshly. Not now…there will be a good time soon.
"Takami?"
"What do you want?"
"Uh…Reborn said that you know Yuni's place."
"Yeah, so?" Takami raised her eyebrows.
"Can you show the way later?"
The first year sighed and nodded. "Sure."
"Thanks." Tsuna smiled and quickly went away.
"…" The twin tailed girl stared at the leaving boy before shrugged absentmindedly.
"Hm…" Miyuki hummed and rested a hand under her chin.
"What's wrong Miyuki?" Takami looked at the raven.
"I think I know who the guy is."
"Oh really? Who?"
"Heh…" Miyuki smirked and walked away. "I can imagine what actually happened with your confession day. The one you like is Sawada Tsunayoshi."
Takami felt her jaw dropped and she gaped for a while before realizing what her friend had just said. She quickly ran to the raven haired girl and groaned. "Mi-Miyuki…"
The said girl simply chuckled. "Something had happened during our trip at amusement park months ago?"
"Don't remind me about that place!" The twin tailed girl groaned and stared at the sky. "That day was a nightmare!" She muttered softly.
I like him far long time ago Miyuki…sorry for not sharing this with you…
"But it was fun."
"Yeah for you…and I think I want to take everything slow too…" Takami said flatly and stared at the road ahead. "Our feelings maybe mutual but our reactions towards it are not really in sync."
Miyuki opened her mouth but quickly closing it as she really didn't have anything to comment on her best friend's statement.
After a few moments of silence, the raven haired girl smiled. "Well, good luck in that Taka-chan."
"Thank you Miyuki." The twin tailed girl smiled gratefully at her friend honest wish.
Yuni greeted the group happily and invited everyone into the mansion. Takami followed silently at the back of the group and exchange knowing glance with the sky arcobaleno.
"I'm glad that you're okay Takami." Yuni whispered with a smile.
"Don't worry about me, I'm doing fine." The first year smiled back and followed the group into a room. "I never thought that we are having an alliance with them."
Yuni smiled. "It's good to have them at our side."
Takami shrugged. "Yeah…" She looked at Tsuna briefly before stood silently behind Yuni.
They exchanged few words or rather Tsuna shouted in shock at Yuni's premonition. It wasn't really a surprised for Takami since the sky arcobaleno had explained what she was specialized in. The arrival of Byakuran and Gamma into the room made the atmosphere became livelier.
The next newcomer somehow became like a reunion party. Takami smirked as she noticed the young Shoichi cowered behind the blond teenager. Spanner simply shrugged at the weird gesture.
"Nice to see you healthy and steady there, Shoichi." Takami greeted the ginger haired boy.
"Ah…ah…my stomach…" The boy crouched and was holding his stomach.
They were chatting casually to each other when the watch suddenly beeped. Everyone gasped and Takami instantly took out her brass knuckles and wore it before ignited her flame through her weapon.
"Stay near the princess."
The twin tailed girl nodded. Gamma and others quickly went out from the building followed with Tsuna and the gang leaving Takami beside Yuni and Reborn.
"Yuni…"
"Takami…" Yuni called and closed her eyes. "Do as I say okay?" She pulled the twin tailed girl away from the other occupant in the room which was the sun arcobaleno.
"Um, sure." Takami answered uncertaintly. "Yuni? Do you have something in your mind?"
The forest haired girl opened her eyes and smiled. It wasn't a happy smile but more to understanding smile. The twin tailed girl eyed the sky arcobaleno with worry eyes.
"Yuni?"
"Takami, as you know at the beginning the objective of this battle is for us arcobaleno to compete with each other to undone our curse." Yuni paused and looked at the window. Her eyes focused at certain fedora wearing baby. "But Uncle Reborn…he didn't have the same objective."
"What do you mean?" Takami looked at the sun arcobaleno who stood on the desk nearby the window.
"Takami, what do you know about him when you first met him?"
The first year blinked and stared at the floor. "I know him as Tsuna's home tutor…"
"Exactly…"
"You don't mean that…"
"He is doing his job, Takami."
"Then…"
"It's our job to provide the path…"
"No!" Takami shouted and lowered her head. "Sorry…it's just that…your curse is much more…more cruel than the others. I can't let you sacrificing your life again Yuni!" The girl hissed the air. "I was a burden before and couldn't do anything but now I have the chance and…and…you provide me the purpose in your famiglia…I just can't Yuni…"
"Takami, please understand it." Yuni said softly but there was firm resolution behind it.
The twin tailed girl released a sigh before looking at the young sky arcobaleno. "I guess my reasoning is not good enough for you to change your mind about this, right?"
"Yes, that's why I said that I need you, Takami. Knowing Gamma and Byakuran, I bet they are going to disagree about this especially Gamma." The girl paused and shook her head. "Byakuran may understand my decision and Gamma will come to just a little bit late but I need a real supporter at my side and that's you."
Loud explosion could be heard from outside had took both girl's attention. They quickly went to the nearest window and tried to look outside. Takami stared at too many electric poles around the mansion. Why there is too many of that here? Who are they battling now outside?
A hand had grabbed her shoulder. Takami gulped as she reminded what conversation she was having with the young sky pacifier holder. "We just barely know each other Yuni. There is no other way?"
"No." Yuni smiled and grabbed the twin tailed girl's hands. "We may just meet recently but we have long time ahead to learn about each other, right?"
"What?" The storm girl felt her eyes widened once she heard the last sentence came from the sky arcobaleno. After a moment she nodded and closed her eyes. "Fine, I trust you on this, princess." You didn't only just get about this battle premonition. How much did you see about the future Yuni?
"You are sounded like Gamma now." The green haired girl chuckled.
"Whatever you say…" Takami opened her eyes and looked at Yuni with determination gaze. "Tell me what I should do."
Yuni smiled and whispered something to the storm girl before she went to Reborn. After they talked for a while, Yuni turned around and looked at Takami with a genuine smile.
Do it.
With one punch on her wrist, the boss watch was destroyed completely.
'The Yuni team's boss watch has sustained damage…and they have been eliminated!'
"Ah…I'm so going to get an earful after this…" Takami muttered to herself as she saw the surprised look on Reborn's face even it briefly showed.
Meanwhile on the outside, Collonello changed confuse look with Lal and Iemitsu once they heard the announcement. The rain arcobaleno blinked once before looked at his weapon.
"I didn't even shoot yet and the watch already destroyed?" He said and looked at Iemitsu. "What's next?"
Iemitsu narrowed his gaze. "I may have provoked my son too much."
"Then the stage is all yours then." Collonello shrunk to his baby form.
As for the fight around the mansion, Byakuran pushed Tsuna forward.
"Go to your battle Tsunayoshi-kun." The white haired teenager happily said. "You can't lose here."
"Byakuran? What? Takami is the one who have the boss watch, right? What had happened to her?" Tsuna asked.
"The princess did it again…" Gamma commented nearby and looked at the sky boss. "Go."
"Let's go Baka-Tsuna," Reborn said as he suddenly hopped on the boy. "Iemitsu is waiting for you."
"But!"
"They are fine." Sun pacifier holder said firmly.
Tsuna instantly calmed from worrying. He knew when he couldn't argue what Reborn's had said.
Takami stared the bright spot on the night sky became dimmer from one of the mansion windows. Yuni patted the twin tailed girl's shoulder and they shared a smile.
"I guess my role is end now?"
"Just for now Takami." The small girl smiled mysteriously.
Takami was already in her room when she heard the next room door closed. She had arrived to her home earlier than the boys. Surprisingly their parents weren't at home thus save the explanation needed. After done preparing a quick and simple dinner, ate and shower, the brown haired girl went into her room and trying for a sleep.
The girl was trying to close her eyes but failed and instead of kept trying she stared at the ceiling. Yuni's words kept playing in her mind.
"Thank you so much Takami, you're truly my savior."
The first year shrugged. "I don't do much really, actually; you're the one who manipulate me into your plan." She said softly and closed her eyes.
And to have it open instantly as she heard the loud beeped sound from the next room.
"What the?"
She quickly went to her room door and opened it. Takeshi stood in front of her room ready to knock the door.
"Take-nii, is it third round already?"
"Maa…it is so suddenly too…stay inside okay?"
"Don't worry about me; I'm no longer in it."
"That's a relief…I was scared when heard the announcement before…thought something had happened to you."
"I'm fine."
"Takami." Tsuna stepped forward and looked at the said girl earnestly. "I'm glad that you're fine."
Takami looked away and nodded. She went into her room and slowly closing the door. "Good luck and take care."
Few weeks after the representative battle was over, Takami received an invitation from certain green haired woman at their school gate. It was weekend and the girl had come to the school for a short meeting about the club budget with their coach. Miyuki and their club president already left after meeting for their weekend date while Takami stayed back for a little bit cleaning. The twin tailed girl was surprised when she reached the gate and met with smiling Aria.
They walked around the shopping district and ended at a coffee shop.
"Aria-san, I have a question."
"Ask then," The woman smiled kindly.
Takami smiled back and stared at her reflection from the cup of tea. "Um, when you gave me the invitation during Reborn's trial, are you already foresaw this?"
Aria smiled knowingly and took a sip of her latte. "No, it's just woman intuition and I see potential in you."
Takami smiled and chuckled softly. "Really? What kind of potential?"
"You're a strong girl Takami-chan." Aria answered and took another sip of her drink. The woman then lowered her cup and smiled warmly at the girl. "Welcome to Giglio-Nero family, Takami-chan. You passed Yuni's test before."
The twin tailed girl lowered her gaze to the table. "Ah…So it was a test…that girl…"
"She is adorable, right?"
"Yuni? Yes she is and manipulative too."
"Well, that's my daughter."
Both of chuckled softly and enjoyed their drink with another talk.
The first year quickly rushed at the loud crash sound and met with boxer wearing Tsuna, Kyoko and Haru nearby. She simply stood silently and kept watching the exchange between three of them before smiling at the scene.
"You're a strong girl Takami-chan."
Slowly but surely the twin tailed girl took a turn and went to different direction. Remembering what Aria had said earlier, she smiled.
"Yeah…I guess I can take your word that way Aria-san…"
Takami smiled contently and went back to her home. She was tired and in dire need of nap since she woke too early that day.
Emotional exhausted was in list too the girl added in her mind.
I know our feelings are mutual…but…I know deep in his heart…he still likes Sasagawa-senpai…He likes her for how long already? I can't beat that…
The first year chuckled softly.
"Let the time tells us what we are going to do later…and sudden heart change can't overcome his long time crush after all," Takami said softly and found herself stood nearby the river bank. She stared at the clear water solemnly as memories during their time at the future years came haunting her mind.
The twin tailed girl sighed.
Tsuna was running around searching for something when noticed a lone figure was sitting down on the ground facing the river. It was getting late and the sky already turned orange with blue hue. He silently stared at the twin tailed girl's back.
Takami looked and enjoyed the view from the other side of river where she saw a pair of couple was holding hands and walking leisurely enjoying each other presence. She then looked down at her own hand and smiled sadly.
"What about try holding each other hands first?"
"Takami…"
Jolted at the sudden call, the twin tailed girl quickly looked at her side and met with Tsuna who was standing at her right side. Thank goodness he is wearing clothes this time, Takami silently commented in her mind.
"Tsuna…" Takami said softly and stared at the boy. "What are you doing here?"
Casually, Tsuna took a seat beside the girl. "I'm searching for something."
"Then, you better go," The girl said and looked at the sky. "It is getting late…"
"I found it already…"
"Oh…good for you."
Tsuna nodded and stared at the same sight where Takami was looking earlier. He stared sadly at the pair and slowly opened his mouth.
"Takami…I'm sorry," He said and closed his eyes. "I saw you earlier this evening and actually I was searching for you ever since…"
"Ah…you saw me?"
"Yeah," Tsuna answered and looked at the pair again. "Takami, this is going to be unfair for you…"
"I'm jealous…for you to choose her again…them again…" The girl said softly and stared at the ground. "I would be lying to myself if I never tell you directly this." She looked at Tsuna with teary eyes. "Tsuna…I love you so much that it hurts…so…we better…"
Tsuna pulled Takami into a tight hug.
"It really hurts me when I can't find you earlier Takami…I search everywhere but couldn't find you…the sorrow in your eyes even I just saw it briefly…It hurts…I'm sorry Takami…I'm sorry for making you feel like that…"
"Tsuna…" The girl wailed. "Tsuna…"
"Our journey is still long and we are just at the beginning. There will be much more hurtful and sorrowful things in the future…will you…will you join me hand in hand in this? Together as a pair? As a partner for life. Will you share everything together with me, Takami?"
A chuckled slowly covered the cry and Takami slowly pushed the brunet away. The first year now was laughing.
"Takami?"
"I can't believe that you're saying all of those…yesterday you was just a weakling and now…Oh my dearest…"
"Takami."
The laugh stopped. Takami opened her eyes and looked at the offered hand in front of her before focusing at the boy. Their eyes met. Tsuna looked at the girl intensely.
Takami lowered her gaze and focused at the offered hand.
He is serious…Tsuna is…
"What about try holding each other hands first?"
Yuni's words echoing once again in the girl's mind.
Slowly the twin tailed girl placed her hand on the open palm. They sealed their promise with a kiss.
Years later.
A young woman with long dark brown hair was walking around the Vongola mansion behind a green hair teenager. She took her surrounding as casual as could be seen but her mind was calculating every traps and way out she could formulate if anything ever happen.
"Relax Takami…they are our ally…"
"I just…it just a habit…sorry Yuni."
They stopped in front of a door. Yuni looked at her protector and smiled warmly. Takami smiled back.
"You have your answer?"
"Yes."
"Good."
They entered the room.
The meeting had ended without any casualty. Tsuna entered his room and paused on his track as he noticed a small box on his working desk. Quickly he picked up the box after closing the door and smiled at it. The young man opened the box and pulled out the piece of paper from the lid.
Yes, I do.
The end
So this is it for Stormy Sky. I know this is sounds repetitive but thanks again everyone. Your supports making me go forward and…and…I'm going to make another story but with different twist…It just stills a draft anyway.
Here is the sneak peak
Hotaru once never believe about reincarnation idea of KHR fandom. She simply enjoyed the story and its character but never on that kind of universe.
.
.
.
It was a normal life for Hotaru until she reached the tender age of six. She stared at her older brother with a shock. Shinji was wearing his middle school uniform and Hotaru knew she was familiar with it. The young girl slowly went to her brother's side and patted his leg.
"Shinji-nii…what is your middle school name again?"
"Hn? It is Kokuyo Middle Hotaru."
The girl froze.
.
.
.
Hotaru knew that this wasn't any simple imagination. She was in it and she was going to Kokuyo middle like her brother soon! She didn't want to get near with any suspicious mist flame user at all! And she couldn't control herself over some cute brunet if they ever meet!
What I'm going to do?
Shall I proceed with the idea? Wonder what the pairing will be…
