CHAPTER 10:
Feelings arise?
"Ohayou everyone…" A tried Tsunami greets as she enter the kitchen. Things were the usual where Lambo start to snatch breakfast from other. Tsunami could understand his behaviour; he is just 5 years old and need to eat more for him to grow. She smile and turns to the Arcobaleno, who had just sent the Bovino hitman flying into the wall.
"Reborn…" Tsunami tried to yell to the hitman but her eyes could not stay opened. Her eyes were closed for a while before she felt a hand shook her. Tsunami opened her eyes and turned around. It was Nana.
"Oh my, Tsu-chan. You look so tried, didn't sleep well last night?" Nana asked.
Nana's comment made Tsunami signed. After the encounter with Mukuro, Reborn had stay up all night for the past few days just to keep a lookout for the illusionist. On a few occasions, she was being awaken and surprise to see her mist guardian lying on top of her, smiling at her. Fortunately, Reborn was there and fires at few shot at him but he always get away. All this 'visits' from her mist guardian and the gunshots had made her sleepless the whole night. Anymore of this, she would just go insane.
"Yeah…but I'm alright, just feeling a bit tried." She lied.
"Alright then, sleep early for tonight, ok?" Nana said. Tsunami nodded and hugs her mother before running to the door.
Reborn watches Tsunami closing the door as she left for school. He felt that if that pineapple head continue his 'visits', Tsunami would fall apart. In addition, he would not stay by her side forever. There is only one thing to do.
"Time for plan A!" The baby hitman said to himself.
"You looks tried, Tsunami. What wrong?"
"Nothing really" Tsunami said to Yamamoto.
"Are you sure?"
"Oi baseball idiot, if Princess say she is fine, she is fine. Stop bothering her." Gokudera growled as the baseball star laughs, telling Gokudera he was just worrying about her.
What the two of them did not notice was Tsunami was crossing the road as a car was speeding down the road. They finally notice her as the horn was heard. Yamamoto immediately grabbed Tsunami in the nick of time as the car drove past them.
Tsunami found herself in Yamamoto's arms, her body pressing on his. She could felt her rain guardian's warm emitting from his body, she just closed her eyes in comfort.
Yamamoto felt that his heart pounding five times faster as he hugged the brunette. This feeling was even stronger than the one in the supermarket and in the cave, he does not know what is it, but he love it. He wishes this would continue but the storm guardian suddenly interrupted.
"Get your hand off the Princess!" Gokudera yelled in anger and grabbed Yamamoto's hand off from Tsunami, causing the Vongola Decimo to collapse onto the ground.
"Princess!" Gokudera rushed to Tsunami's side, grabs her shoulders and tried to call her but no avail. Yamamoto knelt beside Gokudera and was surprise to see Gokudera in tears as he tried to wake her up. Yamamoto then went to check her pulse and chuckled.
"How can you laugh? Princess is in danger." Gokudera yelled angrily at Yamamoto, who was still laughing.
"Relax, she is just sleeping."
"You bastard…eh? Sleeping?" The bomber froze by the baseball star's words. "Are you saying that Princess is sleeping?"
"Yup." Yamamoto added. "She must be tired for the past few days. For a moment there, I also thought she was dead…Haahaa."
That baseball idiot…did he wishes the Princess to be dead? Gokudera clenched his fists and reminded himself to personally strangle that happy-go-lucky baseball idiot to death. The bomber turns his eyes on to his boss, who was held by Yamamoto.
"What are you doing? Don't you touch her!" Gokudera warned.
"I'm just trying to carry her to school; she can't walk when she slept like a log."
"Che…" Gokudera snatched Tsunami from Yamamoto and piggy-back her. "I'll carry her; it's my duty as her right-hand man."
Yamamoto gives him a weird look before laughing. "Fine then, I'll help carrying her bag."
The duo then continues their way to school. On the way, Yamamoto keeps glances at the sleeping form of Tsunami from the side. He could felt the sensation he wanted, coming from his heart but why? He does not have this kind of feeling when Tsunami was still a boy, but why is it occurring when she turns into a girl and is a cute one?
Gokudera mentally cursed at the rain guardian as he could felt his stare on his boss, he immediately held Tsunami closer to his back. Gokudera felt Tsunami's breasts pressing on his back, how soft…NO! He could not think such pervert thoughts about his boss, it is not right.
As the bomber tried to seek out his thought, he could felt her breathing in and out and he also could felt her long slender legs as he carry her. His heart was beating like the time when his sister appears without her mask. But this time, it wasn't something horrible or scary; it was kind of like the time when he when being accepted into Tsunami's family or like the time when he getting praised by her.
Could it be that I love Princess? Gokudera looked at Tsunami, who was still asleep on his back. He cracks a smile at the scene before turning his attention to the entrance of the school.
Hibari Kyoya stood by the window in the reception room, watching groups of students enters the school yard and into the school. He then spotted Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi, with Sawada Tsunami on Gokudera's back. He wonders why she let those two herbivores getting close to her. It made him kind of wanting to bite the whole school to death.
There is another thing, whenever he is near the female herbivore, he felt excited for some reason. Especially the time the herbivore had a duel with him. That feeling was incredible to even describe in words. The prefect does not know what the reason for the feeling he had for the brunette herbivore; he would need to find answer. Hibari looked into the sky and wonders who had the answer to his question.
"Hmm…where am I?" Tsunami began to wake up from her nap. She saw Yamamoto smiling at her and from the background; it seems that they were in school. She noticed that Gokudera was missing; she turned her head around and saw the familiar silver hair in front of her.
"HIIIEEE"
"Ah…Princess, you've awake." Gokudera said.
"Gokudera-kun, why am I…"
"Oh…I notices you was about to be hit by a speeding car and I manage to pull you away. After that, we found out that you were asleep and then Gokudera carry you to school." Yamamoto answered.
"Arigatou, Yamamoto, Gokudera-kun" Tsunami smiled at them.
Yamamoto grins wide when he felt Tsunami smile at him and Gokudera just looking at Tsunami. She does looks like the one in his dream the other day, where he just had to ruin it by saying no to her during their wedding.
"Gokudera-kun?"
"Gokudera-kun?" Tsunami's voice brought the bomber out from his thought.
"Yes Princess?" He asked.
"If you don't mind, you can put me down now…" She lowers her voice and whispers "… and you're kind of grabbing my butt!"
Gokudera immediately put Tsunami down and banged his head onto the ground for forgiveness. He could not believe that he had grabbed his boss's butt. Damn it; that is just like Shamal, will he get kick out of her family? Or will the entire Vongola be after him? Oh no, that will be worse that having stomach-aches. He hoped Tsunami would forgive him.
"Get up, Gokudera-kun" Gokudera slowly lifted his head up.
"Don't worry; I know that wasn't on purpose, so please get up." Tsunami spoke in an angle-like tone.
"Princess…" Gokudera was getting up on his feet, which Tsunami asked whether is he getting tired after carrying her.
"Haahaa…Tsunami, when you fell asleep earlier, Gokudera thought you were dead and he cried." Yamamoto laughed as he handed Tsunami her bag.
Gokudera blushed. "Shut up!"
Tsunami giggled and said to Gokudera. "Thank for caring about me, Gokudera-kun."
Gokudera smiles as the bell rang. Tsunami signals the both of them and hurried to class. What they did not know that a baby was hidden in his hideout, hearing everything that they had said.
The class was boring and almost everyone in class was asleep, but the teacher does not seem to care, he just kept talking about the history of Namimori. Tsunami wishes she had not taken that nap just now as she was feeling very energetic at the moment. She signs and rests her chin onto her hand before looking out the window, admiring the view.
Gokudera was not paying attention to the teacher; he was paying his attention to his boss. His eyes fall on her face as she was admiring the view and her long brown hair was swaying by the wind, it was a beautiful sight to him, even better than seeing a U.M.A (Unidentified Mysterious Animal).
No wait…stop your wishful thinking. Come on, think about it. She is the tenth generation boss of the most powerful mafia in the world and he is just her right-hand man. What will she think? Will she loves him? This is too much for Gokudera to handle; he quickly banged his head on the table to forget the thoughts he had on his boss.
Yamamoto was looking at Tsunami from the side as well; he could not stop to look at her for even one moment. He likes everything about Tsunami, especially her smile. It was her smile that enables him to move forward; it was her smile that makes him wants to protect her; even it cost him to give up baseball. He tried not to laugh when Gokudera banged his head too hard on the table that results in the table split into two.
Irie Shoichi was having a test in his class. The test would be a piece of cake to him if he was not thinking of the girl, Sawada Tsunami. He was really stunned after Reborn told him that Tsunami was from the mafia. He thought he was joking, but the baby proves otherwise. But the red-haired teen does not care; she helps him in the supermarket without knowing who he was. He had fallen in love with her that instant.
However, there was only one problem, her guardians…especially that silver-haired guy that carries dynamites around, what was his name again? Gokunara…No! Um…Gokedera…No! Never mind! His stomach-aches will act up if he thinks too much. That guy seems very protective of Tsunami; Reborn told him that because he was Tsunami's self proclaimed right-hand man. But Shoichi thinks that maybe he is in love with Tsunami as well.
The teacher started to take the test papers back. Shoichi pass the paper to her. On the way back to his seat, he thought even though the bomber was his rival, but he will not gives up because of that, because his love for Tsunami will overcome anything.
"Shoichi-kun"
"Hai" The red-haired teen answers.
"Will you tell me what this is?" The teacher reveals Shoichi's test paper to the class and the class suddenly burst into laughers. Shoichi took the paper and noticed in his test paper, there was Tsunami's name written on the answers slot. Shoichi mentally slapped himself for making this kind of mistakes.
"Irie Shoichi, you're staying back after school for a re-test."
The red-haired teen signed "Hai, sensei."
The bell rang, which mean it was lunch time.
Tsunami was glad that the lesson was over; she would kill herself if that teacher continues for another 10 minutes.
Save by the bell. She thought before Kyoko and Hana join Tsunami at her desk, wanting to invite her for lunch.
"Come on, Tsunami-chan, have lunch with us." Kyoko said.
"Yeah, are you trying to avoid us, Tsunami?" Hana gives the girl a tug on the shoulder.
Tsunami had been declining Kyoko's invitation to lunch; mainly because of Hana will definitely have questions about Hibari and her. She wanted to decline this time but Kyoko had this puppy eyes on her, which she could not refused.
"Fine, I give." Tsunami knew that she is going to regret this.
"Alright then, let go!" Hana starts to pull Tsunami out of the classroom, with Kyoko behind them.
"Princess" Gokudera and Yamamoto were running behind them.
"Where are you taking Princess?"
"Lunch" Hana simply replied.
"Tsunami-chan had agrees to have lunch with us." Kyoko added.
Gokudera looked at Tsunami, who slightly nodded.
"Then…we're coming along too!" He announced.
"Sorry. Haven you hear, this is only for Girls only. No boys allows" Hana said as Gokudera clenched his fists.
"There is no way I'm going to leave Princess in your care, I'm going."
Hana signs "Look… I know that you treat that Sawada like a god, always following him around and call him 'Juudaime' or sort. But ever since he is in Italy, you've change your target to his sister, following her like a stalker and calling her 'Princess'. Please stop making Tsunami's life worse."
Tsunami was surprise that Hana know so much about her even thought they did not talk much.
"Stalker? I'm not a stalker to Princess, right Princess?" Gokudera turns to Tsunami, but was blocked by Hana.
"You leave Tsunami out of this, you stalker!"
"Why you…" Gokudera started to argue with Hana. Tsunami and Kyoko tried to stop them but no use. The brunette looked at Yamamoto for help, who smile back and standing at the side with his hands on the back of his head, watching the argument.
Sign…no choice then… Tsunami began to bring out her gloves and dying will pills from her pocket. She does not want to use it for such a minor problem but given her storm guardian's temper, things will get messy.
Tsunami was about to pop a couple of pills into her mouth, she spotted someone with a weird hairstyle and had a long piece of grass or weed in his mouth walking toward them. He was wearing the standard uniform of the Discipline committee. Somehow, Tsunami found him familiar.
Oh no, he must be here to stop the argument but with Gokudera-kun like that…I must stop him. Tsunami thought before she ran toward the guy, trying to stop the guy from getting himself killed.
To her surprise, the person was looking for her.
"Sorry for the interruption, Sawada-san. My name is Kusakabe Tetsuya." Tsunami remember him, he was seen during the Kokuyo gang attack. Everyone, even Gokudera and Hana stopped their argument, wondering what was going on. "On the behalf of Kyoya-san, I've a message for you. Please report to the reception room immediately, it's regarding his jacket." Tetsuya then bowed and walks away.
Tsunami was wonder what was the vice-chair talking about. Hibari's jacket? Since when did Hibari lend her his jacket? Tsunami's eyes widen and shouted "I forgot!" which startled the rest of the students.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Gokudera asked.
"The jacket Hibari-san lend to me during my first day."
"Oh that…Look like Hibari-senpai want to have some quality time with you, Tsunami." Hana said excitedly which caused Gokudera to mutter about killing the prefect cold blooded.
"But I today forget to bring his jacket!" Tsunami whines "I'm so dead!"
"Don't worry, everything is being taken care." A voice that Tsunami did not wants to hear.
Reborn! Tsunami saw Reborn walking down the corridor, wearing the father costume when Hana went to her house to see Adult Lambo.
"Who is this, Tsunami?" Yamamoto questions.
"Ohohoho…I'm the head of the Sawada Household." Reborn answers.
"Nice to meet you!" Both Kyoko and Hana bowed in respect while Yamamoto greeted.
"Who the hell are you? You're not Princess's father." Gokudera shot a glance at the baby, who seems unaffected by him.
That is Reborn, Gokudera-kun! Tsunami wondered why was she the only one that sees through Reborn's disguise.
"What are you doing here, Reborn" Tsunami whispers to the Arcobaleno.
"Is that the way you speak to your father, young lady?" Reborn commented.
"You're not my father." Tsunami calms herself and asked again. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to bring you this" Reborn handed her Hibari's jacket. "You better get going."
Tsunami gives Reborn a nod, thanking him and ran to the reception room, where Hibari awaits.
"Matte Princess!" Gokudera ran after Tsunami but was short-lived when Reborn stretch out his right leg, which causes the bomber to trip and falls to the ground hard.
"Ohohoho... how clumsy of me. Sorry about that, young man." Reborn said to Gokudera, but he was unconscious to hear anything.
Good, everything is going according as plan. Reborn smirks.
Tsunami was standing in front of the reception room, many had entered the room but they never come out unharmed. Tsunami knocks a few times at the door before hearing Hibari said "Enter".
She nervously opened the door and enters the room. Tsunami took a glimpse around the room and realises that Hibari have taste in traditional decoration. Everything in the room was in ancient Japanese style expect for the table and the couch.
"Where's my jacket?"
Shifting her eyes, Hibari sat comfortable on his chair, with his elbows on the table and his hand on his chin.
"Where's my jacket?" The school prefect asked again.
"Here." Tsunami slowly rises up his jacket, showing to Hibari.
Hibari then stood up from his chair and walks toward Tsunami, who started to back away from him. They continued until Tsunami's back hit the door, she could felt her cloud guardian's eyes on her. Tsunami saw Hibari's arm slowly raises, she closed her eyes, thinking he was taking his tonfas out.
However, she felt the jacket was taken away from her hand. Tsunami opens her eyes and saw the prefect inspecting his jacket. She was about to say something when she noticed the little yellow bird flew into the room.
"Tsunami, Tsunami!" Hibird chirps and flew around Tsunami, making her trying to play with the little thing.
Seeing Tsunami playing with Hibird have made Hibari wanted to hug her. The only woman he had hugged was his mother, and not to mention that he was 7 at that time. He regained his composure and said. "Sawada Tsunami"
Tsunami stopped playing with Hibird and answer "Yes?"
"You may leave now" He said coolly. "Since you've return my jacket."
Tsunami nodded and saying goodbye to Hibird. The little bird does not want her to leave as he keeps chirping "Tsunami, Tsunami!"
Tsunami smiles and bowed to Hibari before exiting the room. She saw Kusakabe on the way, where she greets him before fleeing.
That was a close one! Tsunami thought.
Kusakabe Tetsuya was heading to the reception room to report to Hibari on the issue of the committee's financial condition. He saw Tsunami came out from the room. She looks around and saw him, greets him and suddenly ran off. She looks nervous and from the way Tsunami reacted, maybe something happens in the room?
Kusakabe quickly bushes off the thought and enters the reception room. He saw his leader was standing by the window, his eyes was on his jacket.
What wrong with Kyo-san? He seems to be in deep thought. Kusakabe thought.
"Um…Kyo-san…I'm here to report on the committee's financial report…."
After a few minutes…
"That ends my report."
Hibari just nodded. "You may leave."
Kusakabe nodded and started to walk away but he stops and turns back.
"What is it, vice-chair?"
The vice-chairman hesitates before speaking. "…Kyo-san…I don't know whether I should say this but…did you do something to Sawada-san?"
Kusakabe felt Hibari's deadly glance at him. "I'm sorry, Kyo-san…I know I shouldn't say this but Sawada-san look so nervous and she…"
"It's alright…vice-chair" Hibari said.
"Is there something wrong, Kyo-san?" Kusakabe was worried about him as he noticed his leader's strange behaviour; he usually would bite him to death when he asks this kind of questions.
"It's just I feel strange."
"Strange?" The vice-chairman wonders what he means.
"Whenever I was around her, I feel kinda attached to her. She is the only herbivore that I had a form of respect with than any herbivores have. When she was crowding with other herbivores, I suddenly have the urge to bite those herbivores around her to death and when she is hurt, I would like to care for her and protect her like those small animals on the side of the road." Kusakabe looks at Hibird, who was lying comfortably at his master's couch.
"So tell me, vice-chair…what is wrong with me?" Hibari questions the vice-chairman.
Kusakabe thought for a while before answering. "Kyo-san, I believe the most appropriate answer to your question is that you're in love"
"Love?" Hibari raises an eyebrow in confusion.
"Yes, all that feeling you describe are signs that you're in love"
"Hmm…Interesting…" Hibari smirks in excitement.
"Kyo-san…would you mind telling me who is the girl you like?"
Hibari looks at him and signs "Very well…" He continued "…Sawada Tsunami."
The vice-chairman's eyes widen. "Sawada-san?"
"Is that a problem, vice-chair?" The prefect spoke in a cold and harsh tone.
"…No, Kyo-san…I feel happy for you."
Hibari nodded. "Good, you're dismiss."
Kusakabe bows and closes the door, leaving only the cloud guardian to look at his jacket and thinks of the girl that he was…in love with.
The prefect was so engrossed with his thought that he never notices there was a baby monitoring his every movement.
"OHHHH!" The shout of Sasagawa Ryohei was echoing throughout the boxing club.
The boxer was in the middle of his practice when he suddenly thinks of Tsunami. The girl surprises him when she appeared run down the stair and question to the baby. He was so touched by the story her father had told them that he wanted her to join the club as he thought Tsunami was still a guy. It wasn't until Yamamoto and octopus head explains to him the story, he finally understands.
After that, he get involved activities with Tsunami like the time in Hell Mountain, damn she looks so extreme in those sporty attire. Why is he thinking like that? No…he can't, he treated Tsunami like his sister, right?
But, he had to admit, when he thought of Tsunami, he was granted with such motivation that he must run around the town for 100 times before he could stop. Tsunami was the light that to his passion. Tsunami was the star of Madison Square Garden that he was searching for all this time. He loves her to the extreme but…he had promise to treat her like a sister.
Feeling confused, Ryohei began to punch the sand bag in an incredible speed, and he punches and punches until the sand bag explodes.
The sun guardian yelled on top of his voice. "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO TO THE EXTREME!"
"Huh?"
"What wrong, Tsunami?" Yamamoto asked the brunette.
"I thought I hear Onii-chan's voice" The Vongola Decimo looked around her surroundings.
"Onii-chan? I don't hear anything." Kyoko said.
"It must be the wind, Princess"
Tsunami looked at Gokudera and nodded. "Maybe you're right, Gokudera-kun. Maybe it's the wind."
Tsunami and the others were having their lunch on the roof. Hana and Kyoko join them as well, much to Gokudera's dismay.
"So what did you and Hibari-sempai talks about?" Hana asks the question that Tsunami would avoid the most.
"Well he just take the jacket from me, that all"
"Really? Is that all?" Hana questions further.
"Stop bothering the Princess" Gokudera yelled from the side.
"I'm saying the same thing to you, stalker." Hana said; decide to show the bomber some colours.
With that, a normal lunch turned into a battlefield between Gokudera and Hana, both refused to back down until the other willing to. Yamamoto laughed while Tsunami and Kyoko tried another unsuccessful attempt to stop them.
Tsunami was walking home by herself. Gokudera and Yamamoto have excused themselves at the school gates, saying that they had something important to do.
What up with them acting so fishy recently? Tsunami thought as she opened the door to her house.
"I'm home" She called out.
"It's time that you get back." Reborn stood by the wall, holding a cup of espresso in his hands. "Start packing"
The girl was puzzled by Reborn's words. "What do you mean, Reborn?"
"I'm moving you to another location, to protect you from that pineapple." He replied.
"Eh? This is too sudden, Reborn…"
Reborn cocked his gun. "What was that?"
"Nothing, I go pack my bag now" Tsunami said as she rushes up the stair. Reborn turns to the kitchen and walks to Nana.
"Mama, Tsunami is going to have a sleepover at a friend's house tonight, is that ok?"
Nana smiles "Sure, as long she doesn't get into troubles."
"Thank Mama." Reborn walks back to the stairs, waiting for Tsunami to come down. Soon after, Tsunami comes down with a luggage.
"Good, let go" Reborn commented but Tsunami stopped him.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
Reborn's smiles widen. "Simple. We are going to…"
"No…this is the wrong answer!" Gokudera rubbed away the equation on the board.
Gokudera had spent the entire evening in his apartment, writing down equations to prove that whether he and Tsunami can be a couple. However, all the equations he had written had shows nothing that he wanted to see.
Am I and Princess not destined to be? The bomber grabbed his hair in frustration.
"Looks like you've some romance problems, Hayato." Gokudera tilted his head and saw his sister, Bianchi at the door. Thank god she was wearing goggle; the bomber would faint if she doesn't.
"How do you get in here?"
"The door was unlocked" Bianchi answers. Gokudera mentally reminded himself to lock the door before he goes crazy for his boss.
"Well, what do you want?" He growled, not welcoming his sister in his house. Bianchi smirks as she looked at the board, filling with equations that involve with Tsunami. That silly little brother of her…he is too young to understand what love is all about. It is time to teach him a thing of two about love.
"I hear you were having some problem about love, I came to help" Bianchi stated.
Gokudera turns away from his sister, facing the wall. "I don't need your help, I'm doing fine. Get lost"
"Fine then" Bianchi started to walk away. "Don't blame me when she gets snatch away, Hayato."
"Please wait, Aneki!" Gokudera grabbed her arms, Bianchi smiles. She had hit the point.
"Hayato, do you love Tsunami?"
Gokudera's cheek was red when he heard his sister's question. "Well…I…kinda…"
Bianchi frowns. "Well then…I should leave now"
"No wait…Alright, I love her, I love Princess! I LOVE TSUNAMI!" Gokudera practically yelled out his secret to his sister.
"Then you should make the move now, Hayato."
"But…"
"You don't have to worry about your status with Tsunami. Love had no boundaries at all. You should quickly confess to her about your feeling, at least let her know even if she reject you." Gokudera was silent as Bianchi continued. "Besides, if you don't do this soon, she will be married off to other families as to establish ties with the Vongola."
Gokudera immediately stood up and clenches his fists in determination. "I won't let them takes her away. She is the first person that I've respect with. I'll confess my feeling to her even if Reborn-san or the whole Vongola family was against me!"
Bianchi was happy for her brother's determination, she just hope that he was ready for competition with the rest of the guardians.
"Good, that's the way, Hayato. I'll cook some dishes for this celebration." Gokudera turns pale when he hears that statement coming out of his sister. He immediately ran to the direction of the door but was grabbed by Bianchi from the back and into the kitchen. Screams was heard that evening.
Things were the usual at Takezushi expect for Yamamoto Tsuyoshi. He notices his son had not been himself recently. He would take the wrong order to the customers, giving wrong changes and stare blankly at the wall for quite a while. Tsuyoshi loves his son, but he will not force him to talk, he will wait for him to speak first.
The day had finally comes when Yamamoto arrived from school. He greeted him and proceeds to his room. Tsuyoshi pour himself a cup of tea and wait for Yamamoto to come down. Sure enough, his son comes down and sat across the table. There were silence between the father and son when Yamamoto decides to break the silence.
"How do you and mom meet, Pops?"
"Well…that was a long time ago. I was just an apprentice under the wing of a sushi chef. One day, I was told to deliver sushi to a customer, who lives a few streets away. When I finally got there, a young woman opens the door and that instantly, I know she was the one for me. Since then, I continued to deliver sushi to her until I've the guts to ask her out." Tsuyoshi take a slip of tea as he recalled his story.
"So that is how you guys meet?" Yamamoto asked.
"Yeah, pretty much. Why you ask?"
"Nothing…really, just a question" Yamamoto explains but Tsuyoshi knew the answer already.
"So who's the girl?"
"What are you talking about, Pops?"
"Is it the new girl, Tsunami-chan?"
Yamamoto widens his eyes. "How do you know?"
Tsuyoshi chuckled. "It's quite oblivious, Takeshi. You always return home and starting to talk about the new girl, Tsunami-chan about her first day in school, about her hobby and such."
Yamamoto blushed at the thought.
"Takeshi, if you really like her, you should ask her out, just like your mom and me. Never give up on her, never!" Tsuyoshi said.
"Pops…"
"Haahaa… And when you finally did, bring her home and I'll have a good look at my daughter-in law, ok Takeshi?"
"Pops… thank for your advice!" Yamamoto said before heading to his room.
Tsuyoshi smiles before takes another slip from his tea. "He was just like me when I'm courting you, dear"
Kyoko had finishes her bath when she hears her brother muttering in his room. Feeling worried for her brother, she opens the door and saw Ryohei was grabbing his head, walking around his room.
"Onii-chan, is something wrong?" Kyoko called out.
Ryohei stopped what he was doing and turns to Kyoko. "Nothing, I was just practicing for my boxing match."
Kyoko said nothing as she stepped into her brother room; she looked at Ryohei in the eyes.
"Are you in love Tsunami-chan?" Ryohei was startled by kyoko's question. He never expects his little sister can be so straight forward to the point.
"What are you talking about, Kyoko? Sawada-chan is just a sister to me and nothing else…"
"Don't lie, Onii-chan, I know that you were in love with Tsunami-chan" Kyoko stated "You were saying out her name when you were asleep."
"Listen Kyoko, I…" Ryohei tried to explain but Kyoko cuts him off.
"No you listen to me, Onii-chan. When you love a person, you will tell him your feeling and do not wait until he was in other place like Italy, and you start to regret about it. And there is no use to feel regret as he was already gone" Kyoko finishes in one breath, with tears in her eyes. She turns and looks at Ryohei and found him very angry.
"WHO IS THE BASTARD THAT MAKES MY SISTER CRY? I'M GOING TO KILL HIM TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei clenched his fists and yelled in anger.
Kyoko quickly wipes her tears away and calm her brother down. "Onii-chan, I'm just making an example, an example, please calm down."
After a while, the boxer has cooled himself. "Thank Kyoko, your words mean a lot to me."
"OHHHH! I'm going to tell Tsunami that I loves her to the EXTREME" Ryohei yelled with determination as Kyoko smiles, feeling happy for her older brother.
DING DONG
The sound of the doorbell rang. Kyoko stood up, tried to get the door but Ryohei stopped her as he was filled pumped with excitement from Kyoko's words. He ran to the door and opens it.
"An extreme hello to…" The boxer froze as the door reveals Tsunami with a bag of luggage in her hands.
"Hello, Onii-chan." Tsunami greets.
