Here is ze next chapter!
Chapter 8
~Tsutsumiya Sky~
It hurts… Sky thought, looking at every member of the Varia. Just staring at them till Tsuna waved his hand in front of her face.
"Sky – chan… are you alright? You're kind of… dazing" Tsuna asked, concerned that for the past 15 minutes… she was in lala land.
"Hahaha…" Sky laughed in a monotonous way, bringing her hand up to scratch her head, "Nothing… much"
"Alright" Tsuna gave her a look and turned away, just in time for Iemitsu to announce from the paper that the people with the same type of rings will fight in a one – on – one battle.
Starring at Tsuna, Sky couldn't help but feel that she, somehow, just betrayed Tsuna… but how? I won't hurt him… I won't let him be hurt… I won't ever let another sky die in front of me again… Sky thought darkly, turning back to gaze at the backs of the members of the Varia. Every once in a while they paused for a few seconds, as if listening to something but… couldn't find what it was.
"Who are you people?" Sky muttered to herself, watching their black clad coats disappear from the horizon.
~The Varia~
The sound of splintering wood filled the air as Xanxus smashed Squalo's body against the door.
"That wasn't Sky… That can't be Sky…" Xanxus accused Squalo of leading to the wrong people.
Squalo slapped Xanxus' hand, that was grabbing him by the collar and lifting him off the ground, away and hissed, "Hate to say it but THAT was Sky… not the Sky we knew but why would that girl be with that kid if she wasn't Sky?"
"And there was also the fact that she was able to deflect your flames… boss" the baby, Marmon, said, "Like it or not… Sky isn't on our side anymore…"
"THAT WASN'T SKY!" Xanxus yelled, smashing his hand on top of the table.
"I know we can afford it but that table was expensive…" Squalo muttered under his breath, flinching when the marble cracked into a dozen pieces.
"She wouldn't do that, she wouldn't go against us unless there was a good reason" Xanxus said, reasoning with them… and most of all, reasoning with himself… Xanxus collapsed onto his chair and sighed.
"It could have been Marie" Levi suggested quietly, afraid to rile up the boss just when he started to calm down. Xanxus' eyes widened, by a millimeter, before he remembered that Marie hates everyone. She hated everyone, everything and anything… All she wants is for the world to fall into ruin… Marie would do anything to kill Sky… anything to kill her younger sister that took everything away from her…
"No… she would rather die than help someone that belonged to the Vongola" Xanxus sighed…
"But it's not an improbable idea…" Levi said. An awkward moment of silence filled the room before Squalo pointed out that… that girl fights with Sky's style…
"Even Marie never fought in the same way as her…" Squalo said, "Didn't she call out Shiro as well?" Everyone in the room thought back to the strange way the water leaped from the faucet and onto her burning legs…Definitely Sky's way of fighting… Xanxus thought as every other reason for that girl to be someone else… anyone else… completely vanished.
"Then there is no choice… unless she comes to her senses… the next time you see her… kill her" Xanxus ordered, completely serious and any trace of wishful thinking gone without a trace.
"B-but boss…" Squalo stuttered from shock at Xanxus' sudden order.
"No discussion will be held"
"Even if it is Sky… do you really think we can fight her… let alone defeat her…" Squalo asked, dejection overshadowing his every word.
"She'll die for treason against the Vongola, when I am the Decimo" Xanxus said, cold edges creep into his voice… leaving no room for argument, "I am the one with the double x's in my name… it is only fitting for me to become the Tenth Boss of the Vongola"
If only she was here… she would have cheered alongside me… threatening to chop of that scum's head… calling for first blood, saying its family tradition…. Xanxus fought back a need to laugh… and cry; the next time we meet… we will be enemies…
~Tsutsumiya Sky~
"Thanks… Nana – san" Sky thanked Tsuna's mom again, for allowing her to bunk into their house. Can't believe Reborn was actually able to convince Tsuna's mom that I need to stay with Tsuna for the time being…
Seeing Reborn's eyes glint with mischief and she realized that he never told her… nor reasoned with her. Nana was just that accepting.
"There's no need to thank me… I'm just glad such a pretty girl like you is going out with my no good son" Nana said gleefully and walked back into the kitchen.
"Ehhhh~" Tsuna turned beet red and called "She's not my girlfriend!", after his mother just a tad bit too late. Sky stood frozen by the entrance unable to react to what the lady just said.
Sky sighed and walked to where Tsuna was sitting and collapsed on the couch, "Pray just tell me why am I here?" Tsuna turned to look at Sky before realizing her question was directed towards Reborn.
"You're here to protect Tsuna if the Varia comes…" Reborn said, then sighed while muttering, "Besides you have nowhere else to go"
Sky took a sharp intake of air and glanced at Tsuna, wondering if he heard what Reborn said. Tsuna was crouched over his desk, scribbling in fervor.
"What is he doing?" Sky asked, pointing a finger towards Tsuna.
"Homework" Reborn replied nonchalantly.
"WHAT? Tsuna might die because of the Varia and he's doing homework?" Sky shouted, exasperated.
"Exactly… that's what I told Reborn, too" Tsuna said, turning his face so I could see his black eye and snotty nose.
"Dying is no excuse for tardiness… or stupidity" Reborn said, implementing a right hook to the side of Tsuna's jaw. Sky deadpanned and walked out of the room, closing the door slowly so they won't notice that she was gone. As she walked down the hall to the guest room, where she'll be staying…, the last image of Reborn using Tsuna's chair to whack him on the head burned into her head. Sky winced when the resonating sound of a crack echoed through the house. Ouch… that has got to hurt…
Sky opened the door to the room and slammed it shut immediately.
"What are you doing… Sky?" called the voice of Iemitsu from inside of the room. He walked towards the door and began turning the knob. Sky pulled on the knob from inside the room and pulled… keeping the door firmly closed.
"What were you doing in there?" Sky shouted.
"Waiting for you…" Iemitsu said, with that stalker edge coming into his voice.
"Leave the room!" Sky shouted
"Then open the door" Iemitsu said, "I can't go out if the door is blocked…"
"Jump through the window!" Sky shouted, "And don't say its too high 'cause I know you can do it"
"Fine" Iemitsu said, and suddenly no one was shouting at her from the inside of the room. Sky loosened her grip on the knob and turned it.
"Boo"
"HOLY SHIT" Sky jumped and swung her leg around and kicked Iemitsu in the stomach. Iemitsu's eyes popped out of his head and he laid on the ground, grasping for air. Iemitsu pulled his legs and hugged them to his body and laid his hands over his neck and said, "ARMIDILLO! You can't hurt me now!"
Sky sweat dropped at his behavior and kicked him once at the base of his spine… she heard a loud crack and deadpanned. Iemitsu was now writhing on the floor and Sky escaped to the room. She slammed the door shut and leaned on it, slowly sliding to the floor…These people are CRAZY!
Sky climbed into the bed and laid there… staring at the ceiling. Thinking about those people she met today… when her mind paused at Xanxus' face… she heard a voice in her head…
The next time we meet… we will be enemies … lest you change your mind…
Sky repeatedly heard this… over and over and over again, till she fell to sleep.
~Sawada Tsunayoshi~
"Wahh~ THE VARIA IS HERE!" Tsuna shrieked as he shot out of the bed, "Ehh~ just a dream?" Tsuna was panting and sweating oceans. Tsuna looked down at his shirt and exclaimed, "Ah… the ring is gone!"
"Geez… quiet down will you" Sky said, walking into his room. She was wearing a pink tank with cameo shorts. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she leaned on Tsuna's desk as he just stared at her.
"What?" Sky asked, irritated.
"Where did you get those clothes… all I ever saw you wearing were those black cape and black jacket with black pants…" Tsuna said.
"Yeah… apparently your mom bought these and she did mention the lack of color in my sense of fashion" Sky said as she winced when she would see the neon colors on her skin.
"KYAHAHAHA~" Lambo chortled as he and I – Pin came into the room to tell Tsuna that breakfast was ready. When Tsuna asked them about his dad, Lambo looked scared and replied with a shrug. He actually jumped when he looked at me.
"Then that means… everything was a long and unpleasant dream!" Tsuna said, blissfully.
"You wish" Sky and Reborn muttered at the same time. Reborn gestured to the object in his hand and Tsuna deadpanned when he realized… Reborn framed the Ninth's order. Tsuna turned to Sky to plead her to help him but his plea went unnoticed since all she could do was stare at the order.
"What's wrong?" Reborn asked.
"Oh… nothing" Sky trailed off.
"Just say it" Reborn said while slamming a mallet onto her head.
"HEYY!" Sky shouted, rubbing the back of her head, "Jeez… it was nothing. I just had a feeling…"
"A feeling of what?" Reborn asked, now curious…
"No… I just felt that the order is fake… I'm not sure why I would say that though…" Sky said, trailing off as she continued to stare at the order.
"Is that so?" Reborn said.
"No… don't listen to me… it was just a gut feeling and…" Sky said apologetically.
"Your gut feeling is right more often than not…" Reborn said smirking, then his face turned serious, "It really isn't like the ninth to decide on such an outrageous battle…"
"Ahh… the ring is on my FINGER?" Tsuna shouted.
Sky sighed and asked Reborn, "You have a tranquil gun?" Reborn smirked and Leon landed on his index finger and turned into a gun.
"NO… wait, I was kidding! Calm down, Reborn!"
"HIEE~" Tsuna squeaked.
Reborn pouted but holstered his gun.
"So… it wasn't just a dream?" Tsuna slinked back into his bed and cowered in his blanket, "I'm going to dieee~" Tsuna moaned.
"Yup… he is terrifying…" Reborn smiled and agreed with him.
"You are not helping!" Sky snapped at Reborn when he statement just made Tsuna scream even more, "And you!", she shouted pointing to Tsuna, "Stop your screaming and act like the bloody tenth you're supposed to be!"
"Bloody…?" Reborn smirked, "Your European side is coming out" Sky turned red and left the room, though… after she kicked and dented the wall of Tsuna's room.
"NOOO~ I don't wanna train anymore!" Tsuna shouted, hiding under his covers…
"That fine… but go to school" Reborn said, walking out to find Sky…
"Eh~" Tsuna's head poked out from under his covers.
Uwahh~ that was so scary… Tsuna thought, staring at his still – trembling hands. Yamamoto and Gokudera came up and cheered Tsuna up… well just enough for Tsuna to stop trembling. Tsuna and the others arrived at the school and went to their separate desks.
"Today we have a new transfer student" The teacher announced, "but it seems that she isn't here yet so when she arrives… please give her your regards"
At the mention of the transfer student, the class erupted in murmurs.
"Hey… do you think she's pretty!"
"I hope so"
"Hey… do you guys hear that?" Murmurs of the same question echoed through the room as thundering footsteps echoed through the school.
"SHIT! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" shouted a voice... No way… it can't be! Tsuna thought.
"Students that are late must be punished… Kami korosu" said another voice. Tsuna and Gokudera deadpanned while Yamamoto started chuckling.
"I am not a student!" shouted the first voice. The footsteps got louder until the door to room 2-A slammed open and Sky ran into the room. She grabbed the person closest to her and used him as a shield against the raging Hibari, who just stepped through the door.
"You are wearing our uniform are you not?" Hibari asked, holding his tonfas at arm length.
"Yes I am but Reborn made me" Sky replied, still holding Kepachi in front of her. Tsuna felt sorry for Kepachi but Gokudera was reveling in revenge.
Ha! That's what he gets for always making fun of jyudaime! Gokudera thought.
"Hn. That kid, huh. So you're his acquaintance" Hibari asked, smirking.
"Yes… no. Not really. I wouldn't really say that" Sky snapped, veins popping on her forehead.
"Hn…" Hibari's eyes glinted with something close to excitement and started charging at Sky.
"Shit" She threw Kepachi away and brought her palm up to catch Hibari's tonfas. There was a loud clang in the air and Sky was holding Hibari's tonfas, which were only a centimeter away from smashing into her face. Hibari smirked and jumped away, only to charge back at her.
"HIEE~" Tsuna shouted.
Sky brought her arm up again and this time she clenched her fist, when there was a loud clanging in the air… and Yamamoto was between them. In one hand was his bat, which he used to deflect Hibari's tonfas and the other hand was wrapped around Sky's fist.
"Maa~ maa~! Come on… let's just be friends hn…" Yamamoto gave a heartened chuckled as Hibari harrumphed and turned away. Yamamoto turned to Sky and asked, "What are you doing here, Sky?"
"Hn… oh, Reborn said Tsuna was being attacked and I needed this uniform to get pass the gates…" Sky said glanced behind her at the board and realization dawned on her, "You are absolutely kidding?" Behind her… the board read transfer student…
"Nope not kidding" Reborn walked into the room in a mustache clad face and a cloak.
"P-professor Boreen!" the teacher exclaimed while Tsuna deadpanned at Reborn's sudden disguise.
"What Boreen? This is Reborn!" Sky shouted at the teacher.
"This is professor Boreen, he graduated from the top university with some of the best scores in history!" the teacher shouted, then he asked, "Are you the new transfer student?"
"No"
The teacher sighed and asked again, "Are you Sky?"
"Yes"
"Then you are the transfer student" the teacher pushed Sky to the front of the room and 'formally' introduced the raging girl. "This is Tsutsumiya Sky… your new classmate, please welcome her." He pushed Sky towards the only empty seat in the class, conveniently located behind Tsuna, in front of Gokudera and next to Yamamoto.
Sky turned red with indignation and then Reborn threw a piece of chalk at the back of her head. "Silence or no dinner tonight" Reborn whispered in her ear as he jumped onto her shoulder. Reborn then jumped down and walked out of the door.
"Professor Boreen… leaving so soon?" the teacher asked.
"Yes… I only came to see the girl"
Every pair of eyes came to rest on her, wondering at her connection to one of the smartest man in the world… wondering how she was unafraid while facing the demon lord of Naminori. And most girls were wondering what kind of relationship she had with Yamamoto, one of the Pops (as in popular).
"Hey… look at that white hair" someone said.
"Don't look at her hair… look at that stunning figure" said another, his eyes stared at her like he was trying to mentally tear of her clothes.
Sky turned and glared at them and shut them up immediately.
"Because of the sudden interruption… there will be no classes till further notice" the teacher said and left the room, depressed that Professor Boreen wasn't here to see him.
"Sky – chan! Welcome to Namimori!" Kyoko – chan said, coming over to her desk. Sky grunted and noticed the way Tsuna was staring at Kyoko, like a blind man looking at the sun for the first time… So he likes her hn…
Catching her watching him stare at Kyoko, Tsuna turned around as he turned into a tomato.
Following Kyoko's lead, everyone in the classroom bombarded her with questions.
"Where are you from?"
"Why is your hair white… did you bleach it?"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"What's your relationship to Professor Boreen?"
"What's your relationship to Yamamoto?"
"Why is Hibari out for your blood?"
Each and every one of them hindered her with more and more questions till she finally snapped. "GOD DAMMIT! SHUT UP!"
Sky grabbed Tsuna by his collar and dragged him from his seat, "Come on"
"OI! MOYASHI, LET GO OF JYUDAIME!" Gokudera shouted after her, running to catch up with them. Yamamoto was behind him… just chilling and chuckling. Sky took the stairs and ran to the roof, still dragging Tsuna with her.
When they got to the roof, Sky threw Tsuna into the fence and asked, "Why am I enrolled in your school?"
Tsuna chuckled nervously, "You see… I may have accidently left some papers, containing your information and a paper that says you'll be attending Namimori, here"
"GRRRH~" Sky screamed and kicked a nearby fence, "WHY?"
"Reborn told me to" Tsuna said, all in one breath.
"That little…shit! I'm going to kill him for sending me to school… again!" Sky shouted and stormed out of the roof as Gokudera and Yamamoto walked into the roof.
"OI MOYASHI!" Gokudera growled but it was Yamamoto who hooked his arm around Sky's waist and kept her from leaving.
"What is it?" Sky snapped, unknowingly… her eyes flashed red.
"Stay in school… maybe that kid had you come here for a reason" Yamamoto tried to reason with her.
"Yeah…" Sky scoffed, "and that reason was to torture me…. can I go now?"
"Nope" Yamamoto replied grinning.
Sky glowered at Yamamoto and five minutes later, she sat down on the rooftop and continued to glower. Point for Yamamoto… Tsuna thought as he deadpanned…
