Before I begin this Chapter I just want to thank LyriaHart for reviewing and giving me the kick in the rear I needed in order to update this FanFiction. Besides that I really liked getting your review and I promise that this story won't be abandoned, it just might take me some time to publish the chapters. So please keep reviewing and I'll try and update as frequently as I can. Now with that being said here's Chapter Ten.
Cute Kids can Lead to Death Wishes
A few weeks after the incident at the hospital Tsuna returned to school. Of course I'm not sure anyone really noticed he was gone besides those of us who were his friends. As it was I ended up helping him study a few things, so that he wouldn't fall terribly behind in his studies. In fact after a late study session I headed home, and nearly ran into a Kokuyo student. Something about him freaked me out so after giving him a quick apology I immediately continued on my way.
~The Next Day~
I'd pretty much forgotten about my encounter with the student from Kokuyo, and went about getting ready for school. As I began heading off to get an education a young boy ran past me; slightly clipping me as he did. I blinked in surprise not sure who he was or what he was doing. Not long after he passed me by a couple of men in suits came from the same direction as the boy. One of them stopped me from continuing on.
"Hey, have you seen a young boy around here?" he asked. I played the innocent act.
"May I ask why?" I asked, "Is he your son or something?"
The man smiled but it wasn't genuine, "Yes, so have you seen him?"
"I'm afraid not," I answered, "But if I see him I'll let you know."
"Much appreciated," the man said before joining the others. Then they headed farther along. I knew I'd be in trouble if I were spotted, but I followed them from a safe distance anyway. Finally they came to the house with the chihuahua that Tsuna hated so much. One of the men yelled at the dog when it started barking at him, but the one who appeared to be the boss called him and he immediately continued on. I watched as the little dog went to his dog house and looked inside. Suspicious I opened the gate, and knelt down myself.
"Hey, you okay?" I asked once I'd spotted the young kid. He smiled and nodded. I returned his smile with one of my own.
"I'm glad," I said, "So may I ask your name?"
"I'm Fuuta," he said, "I'm glad I got to meet you Yuzuki-nee."
"I'm glad too Fuuta, but… how do you know my name?" I asked though I received no answer. I was a little shocked that he'd call me that. Still I'd kind of always wanted another brother, and Fuuta was adorable. When I asked him if he had some where to go he said that he'd figure it out. I wasn't really keen on leaving him alone, but I had to get to school.
"Well, Fuuta just be careful," I said, "Maybe we'll see each other again some time."
"I hope so, Yuzuki-nee," and then we parted ways. I managed to get to school with a minute to spare.
~After School~
"So, Tsuna what'll we work on today?" I asked my friend as we headed to his house. Tsuna shrugged, and I mentally sighed. It wasn't long before I saw Tsuna's house, which had become a familiar sight for me the past few days. We were quick to head up to Tsuna's room after slipping off our shoes, but when Tsuna opened the door I was surprised to see Fuuta. Tsuna was even more surprised, especially when Fuuta took his hands and began shaking them.
"I finally get to meet you!" Fuuta said happily, "Nice to meet you, Tsuna-nii!"
"Tsuna-nii?" Tsuna was beyond confused, "Who are you?"
It was Reborn who answered… to a point, "He seemed like he had a favor to ask you."
"A favor?" Tsuna asked, and I was just as curious.
"My name is Fuuta," the young boy said, "The mafia is after me."
"So that's who those guys were," I muttered.
"Hey, Reborn!" Tsuna turned to the hitman assuming Fuuta was joking, "He's serious?!" Tsuna asked when Reborn said nothing to deny it.
"Yep," I said gaining my friend's attention, "I ran into them before school."
After that we ended up sitting around the table in Tsuna's room as Tsuna tried to figure everything out. Fuuta broke the silence by rising to his knees and placing his hands on the table.
"Vongola Jyuudaime, Tsuna-nii, please take me in!" Fuuta pleaded.
"W-What are you saying?" Tsuna asked, "I can't take on the mafia!"
"I know that," Fuuta said which made Tsuna pause, "Because Tsuna-nii's…" here he pulled a large book out of nowhere.
"What is that?" Tsuna asked. On the books cover was a strange symbol, and underneath that the word 'Ranking' was printed. I was just as curious as Tsuna about the book; though mostly because I wanted to know what was in it as well as where the kid pulled it from.
"His combined combat prowess and intelligence are both rank eight hundred seventy-two out of eight hundred seventy-two, the lowest," Fuuta said not missing a beat, "But your 'cannot refuse when asked' rank is number one."
I almost burst out laughing at Tsuna expression, "Well, Tsuna he's got you there."
"What was that?!" my friend asked shocked.
"He's also known ask 'Ranking Fuuta'," Reborn said, "He's an information specialist who has no equal when creating a ranking."
"Another weird one has come to me," Tsuna said offhandedly. Reborn pointed at Fuuta and continued his explanation.
"Fuuta's ranking accuracy is one hundred percent," the young hitman said, "Meaning, if one were to use this ranking book to create a strategy, he could win any battle, and it would be easy to take over the world."
"So that's why those guys were after Fuuta," I said with a low growl, "That's not right."
"Tsuna-nii, help me," Fuuta once again pleaded bringing Tsuna back into the world of the living.
"It's wrong to come to me just because you know I can't refuse," Tsuna said. Fuuta shared a look with Reborn and I had a feeling that my friend was going to take a blow.
"It's not only that," Fuuta said, "Tsuna-nii's also number one when it comes to 'bosses without ambition'. You wouldn't take my ranking book, so I can trust you!"
"That's somehow not very cool," Tsuna said tears running down his face, "But what about Hisoka-san?"
"Yuzuki-nee, is ranked number four in 'willing to help friends'," Fuuta said, "So, I can trust her too."
That seemed to upset Tsuna more, but Reborn chose this moment to speak up, "Would you throw a small, pitiful animal," he held up a picture of himself dressed as a squirrel, "into a field with fearsome carnivores?" the next pictured was of Reborn dressed as a lion.
"Small animal?" Tsuna asked before looking over at Fuuta, "I can see him as one now," And so could I.
"Tsuna-nii," Fuuta pleaded again and Tsuna sighed.
"So, it's decided," Reborn said.
"All right," Tsuna said.
"Yay!," Fuuta cheered, "Arigatou, Tsuna-nii!"
We sat there for a while as I tried to figure out what I should help Tsuna with first, but I couldn't decide; besides Tsuna was still distracted with the fact that he'd seemed to have gained a brother. Truthfully I was still distracted about that as well. After a while I just gave up, and waited for something to happen.
"Since he's here, why don't you get ranked in a few things?" Reborn asked. Tsuna snapped out of his daze.
"Huh, me?" my brunette friend asked.
"All right," Fuuta said. Suddenly the door was opened and Haru walked in.
"That sounds like fun!" she said. I had to admit it did sound interesting at least. After that I sat back and tried to ignore what was going on a little. After all Haru completely ignored me in favor of talking to Tsuna; not that I really minded but it was like I was invisible. Haru was sure that Tsuna and Fuuta were brothers; secret brothers to be precise, but a quick explanation solved that.
~One Explanation Later~
"Oh, you're friends," Haru said.
"Of course he isn't my brother," Tsuna said. Personally I didn't see why Tsuna would be against the idea; of course I wasn't an only child and had three siblings. Once it had been firmly established that Fuuta and Tsuna weren't related Haru was back to wondering what she should have Fuuta 'fortune-tell'.
After a bit she seemed to get an idea of what to do, "Haru's top three charm points!"
"Isn't that just a quiz?" Tsuna asked. I sent him a subtle nod. But Fuuta didn't seem to mind as he stood. That's when things got weird; Fuuta's hair started moving without any wind and stuff started floating. And I wasn't the only one weirded out.
"What's going on?!" Haru asked. Followed swiftly by Tsuna asking Reborn what was going on. I blinked when I saw Tsuna's home tutor dressed in a space suit and floating right along with everything else.
"This is Fuuta's ranking mode," Reborn said. After that Reborn mentioned somethings about theories, which seemed more like fact looking at what was going on. Then Fuuta turned to Haru, and began his ranking.
"Haru-nee's charm points:" he said, "rank three, beautiful eyes."
This put the girl into a frenzy, and made me want to bash my head into the wall.
"Rank two, cute dimples," Fuuta said, and once again Haru was excited, and trying to flirt with Tsuna at the same time.
"And rank one," Fuuta said, "the whirl of your hair."
Tsuna wasn't sure if that would be correct, but it turned out to be right. Though I had to agree with my friend; Haru's use of ranking was strange. The next thing I knew Fuuta was looking at me. I blinked curious as to what was going on.
"Yuzuki-nee's ranked number three hundred out of five hundred twenty three in martial arts," Fuuta said, "She's also ranked number three in having a big secret," I stiffened and swallowed especially when Tsuna and Haru looked at me. My mind went blank, but luckily Lambo came in and distracted the others from me. Well, Reborn wasn't, but then he already knew my secret. After that things got so chaotic that I could already see that homework would not be getting done today. So while everyone was preoccupied I left the room, and headed home.
~A Couple Days Later~
"Did that really happen?" I asked through the laughter, "Did Gokudera's ranking actually get screwed up in that way?"
Tsuna nodded, and I laughed again ignoring the glare the silverette was throwing my way. Yamamoto was laughing with me which didn't help. But my good mood didn't last long when Gokudera spoke up.
"Oi, woman what about your ranking?" he asked, "The ranking kid said you were ranked pretty high in having a secret, right?"
I looked away; laughter instantly dying, "Look I'd tell you if I could… but I can't. Not right now at least," I said, "I'm sorry Tsuna."
"Don't worry about it Yuzuki-san," Yamamoto said. Tsuna nodded.
"Yamamoto's right Yuzuki-san," the brunette said, "But if you ever want to tell us you can."
"Arigatou, Yamamoto, Tsuna," I said, "I promise when the time comes I'll tell you everything. Ah, but could you do me a favor you guys?"
"What is it?" Tsuna asked. I glanced around before answering.
"Just make sure Hibari-san doesn't hear about this," I whispered, "If he ever found out something bad would probably happen."
Tsuna suddenly paled and at first I thought it was because of what I'd said, but when I felt a chill run up my spine I knew exactly what was wrong. Hibari was behind me, and I was certain he'd heard every word. Hibari must have done something because Tsuna and the others immediately left me with the prefect. I swallowed and slowly turned around. Now he'd not only kill me for talking back to him, but he'd also murder me for this secret.
"So he was telling the truth," Hibari said. I started backing up slowly, but he took a step forward for each one I took back. Before I knew it my back was pressed against the wall, and Hibari was blocking all escape.
"A-Ano, Hibari-san class is about to start up again," I said, "I don't want to be late."
The prefect didn't seem too upset, "I've already talked with your teacher herbivore, and you've been excused from class the rest of the day."
I mentally cursed, and tried to think of another way out of this. However, the only one that I came up with was probably… no was suicidal. Unfortunately it was the only way. So after I steeled myself, and made ready to accept the consequences, I lunged forward and landed a solid punch to Hibari's face. Then without waiting for his reaction I took off. And that added a third item to the list of reasons why the Disciplinary Committee Chairman wanted to kill me. As I ran through the halls I tried to find some place where I'd be safe from the prefect, at least for a little while because even if he wasn't following me right now there wasn't a doubt in my mind that he'd be after me soon.
Me: So Yuzuki actually punched Hibari… in the face. Yeah… she's gonna die.
Yuzuki: Great, just great. My poor family, friends and other loved ones will have to give me a funeral, and I'm only fourteen. Not to mention I'll be killed three times over.
Me: Yeah not gonna lie, that's exactly what'll happen. Anyways, hope you all enjoyed Chapter Ten, and sorry if it was a little shorter than the other chapters. Anyways with me today is Fuuta, and he'll be saying the disclaimer, right.
Fuuta: Hai, Brightcloud-nee. Brightcloud0915 doesn't own KHR but she owns her OCs.
Yuzuki: And the plot when any of us are involved. So please drop a review and let us know what you think of this story so far.
Me: Sayonara for now minna, and I hope you'll join us for Chapter Eleven… which may turn into a conflict chapter for Yuzuki and Hibari depending on my mood.
Yuzuki: With that being said, I hope to see you all again soon. Until then ja ne minna.
