Insanely Average
Fandom: Katekyo Hitman Reborn © Amano Akira
Synopsis: "Being average isn't so bad but I'd like to think that I'm somewhat insane as well. What do you think, Tsuna-kun?" He looked at her oddly. "W-Who are you?" He asked and she simply grinned. "Kobayashi Asahi, at your service." SI-OC
CHILDHOOD ARC
Consequences
Warnings: Foul language (in English & Filipino)
It had been a few weeks since Asahi's flames were accidentally sealed by Vongola Nono. She had not noticed any major change aside from the fact that she couldn't feel her flames nor summon it via her resolve.
(She had already accepted that fact and only wished it wouldn't impede on her abilities as often stated in several of the fanfictions she had read before.)
So imagine her surprise when something did happen those few weeks later.
She never expected it as one of the consequences of losing her connection to her flames.
All it took was an incident where her anger levels had risen quite high - more so than normal, did she suddenly experience it.

Asahi was on her way out of the school, humming excitedly as she jogged - nearly ran, to where she had asked Tsuna to wait for her. Upon her arrival, she found herself shocked to what she was witnessing. It was her dear Na-chin getting bullied by some of their classmates!
Tsuna was leaning into the wall, trying to make himself as small as he could possibly be as the three boys surrounded him. The two were calling him names and shoving him until he fell on his knees - possibly scraping it in the process while the third was rummaging through her best friend's bag and tearing papers at the same time.
When Na-chin began to tear up, it was then fury slowly began to rise within her, she didn't hesitate to remove her bag from her back and then proceed to chuck it to the nearest offender. He got knocked over of course but she knew that it hadn't made him unconscious. Yet.
She growled and tackled the next boy, screeching in fury as she proceeded to pound the boy in the face. (He soon had fallen unconscious due the beating.) In her anger, she had forgotten the other two as they had tackled her to the side and started pulling her hair.
Flames lit in her eyes (figuratively) and she grabbed the other boy's arm and bit on it. He yowled and let go while the other, she stomped on his foot hard. He had no choice to let go of her as well as he held his foot up, hopping from side to side as he rubbed it, trying to soothe the pain.
"ARGH!" She yelled at them, her fury rising even higher. "STOP BULLYING TSUNA, YOU LITTLE SHITS!" Her language reverting to English, soon following into Filipino - her mother language. "PUTANG INA NINYO!"
She shouted some death threats in English before collapsing on the floor mid-rant for no reason. By the time she fell unconscious, the boys had already left together with their unconscious friend in fear of her yells and 'odd' language.
Tsuna eventually snapped out of his fear-like trance and ran towards his best friend's side, trying to shake her awake. She did so but it took some time for her to wake. She rubbed her eyes and looked at him curiously. "What happened? I know I was yelling at those bullies - w-why was I on the floor, Na-chin?" She asked.
"I-I don't know, Hi-chan." He answered solemnly despite the slight stutter.
He helped her up and had her lean on him as they walked towards Hibari-sempai's (It took quite some time but eventually relented to letting Tsuna call him by that title as well) office. There was no doubt that an issue would appear tomorrow and Asahi had told him that Hibari-sempai would be able to deal with it.
They were nearly there when Hi-chan collapsed yet again and he was struggling with her added weight. He shouted for the prefect to come and in record time, the older boy appeared. Hibari-sempai would have most likely bitten him first if not for Asahi's worrying state.
He immediately appeared at their side and pulled Asahi away from Tsuna and into his arms as he carried her into his office. There was a sofa there so Hibari-sempai laid her on it before snapping to look at him.
"What happened to the Little Animal?" He immediately queried.
"I-I don't really know, Hibari-sempai." He began nervously. "I was being bullied when Asahi-chan appeared and started fighting with the bullies. She got injured a bit. It was when she began screaming at them did she suddenly lose consciousness. She woke up of course and stayed awake until we nearly reached your office. I shouted for you and well...you know the rest..." He trailed off, feeling scared under the boy's steely gaze.
"Hn. Very well, tell me the name of those bullies. I won't tolerate those herbivores for harming others."
Tsuna proceeded to tell him. The prefect nodded and then pulled out a phone before throwing it towards him. "Call for the hospital and ask someone to come here to school in 15 minutes. Tell them I won't tolerate it if they're late for even a second."
"H-Hai, Hibari-sempai." He nodded repeatedly in fear.
Hibari-sempai soon left the room with his tonfas out and a bloodthirsty look on his face.
He dialed down the number and the phone rang for a few seconds before a woman picked it up.
"Hello, this is the Namimori General Hospital. How may I help you?"
"Umm...hello. Could you please..."
ooo
"After a few tests, we have discovered that Kobayashi Asahi-san has Type 1 Narcolepsy. It is also known as narcolepsy with cataplexy." The doctor began, explaining to the distraught parents and the girl's best friend.
"Could you please elaborate, sensei (doctor)?" Erina asked politely.
"Ah, yes. Type 1 Narcolepsy involves a combination of excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy. Cataplexy is when you have attacks that cause a sudden loss of muscle tone while you are awake. It may lead to slurred speech and buckling knees, or in more severe cases complete paralysis. These events are usually triggered by strong emotions such as joy, surprise, laughter or anger."
"A-Ano, sensei. Asahi-chan experienced this because she was feeling extreme anger, right?" Tsuna popped in, asking curiously.
"You are correct about that, Sawada-kun."
"W-Will she ever be alright, sensei?" Kaito (Asahi-chan's father) asked in fear to what has happened to his daughter.
"Well, what she'd most likely need..." Tsuna soon droned out the doctor's words as he concentrated himself to looking at Hi-chan laying on the bed. She was asleep and very tired after what had happened.
For the first time in his life, he felt absolutely detested by how helpless he was. It was a grating thought to be an indirect reason as to why his best friend had ended up in this state. While he was thankful that she only sustained minor injuries from the fight, he hadn't wanted her to get hurt at all.
For the first time in his life, he wanted to be strong.
He wanted to be someone she could rely on and no longer it simply be the other way around.
He would talk to Hibari-sempai soon and ask for some training. He'd make sure of that.
He silently vowed to protect her.
A/N: Sorry it's been quite some time since I last updated. Man, time really gets away from me. Anyway, if you're wondering what the Filipino curse word means - it's "son of a bitch." According to the net I mean.
And boom, Asahi gets Type 1 Narcolepsy because I needed her to have a reason for her constant sleeping. Oooh, and we see some character growth from Tsuna. He no longer wants to rely on Asahi to protect him and instead wants to get stronger for her sake.
Aww, isn't that cute?
