A/N - Hah! I bet you guys never expect for me updating this show so quickly did you!? XD Well, since it's officially Christmas here, I thought this can be my present to you guys! Though my knowledge of Katekyo Hitman Reborn is still not as good as before, I'll brush up on them before the next chapters.
Also, is any of you guys from Indonesia? 'Cause my family and I just got back from Bandung and we really enjoy ourselves! Though I don't enjoy the shopping bit much... It's quite funny; other people's dads would get mad if their daughters would shop none stop but my dad had to practically scold at my sister and I when we refuse to go shopping for our clothes! XD I mean, I would only shop for my clothes if my previous ones are faded or thorn! I guess I'm just a weird kind of girl...
Also, the reason why I ask about RWBY, is because I'm totally hook up with that series! XD I absolutely love Blake! I love her weapon; Gambol Shroud, her mysterious persona and the fact that she stood up for what she belief despite the White Fang had become bad due to Roman interference. I also dig her outfit; it's not all that revealing like Yang or so pretty like Weiss!
I digress, now is time for the lovely reviews!

I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or Black Rock Shooter, if I do, Tsuna's black persona will most probably control the entire fuckin' world...
Chapter 14
The Extra-terrestrial Being, White Love
Murmurs and excited whispers broke out among the students all except for one.
'N-No way…' Tsuna thought in disbelief. 'It's that girl on the moon!' Tsuna was hoping that he was daydreaming but the smiling girl infront of the class continue to prove otherwise. Though, Tsuna notice that her appearance was different from the… first time he met her.
Her long white, twin tail hair was tied up into a ponytail with some sort of futuristic blade-looking tiara and her magenta eyes did not have their circular pattern; in fact, they appear as normal as any human being. The Namimori uniform did not do justice to her unearthly beauty at all.
Tsuna was too engrossed in his out inner turmoil to aware that the rest of his classmates were whispering how beautiful the girl is and wanting to get to know her… Or the fact that someone is watching the girl intensely.
"Thank you for that introduction White-san. Unfortunately, the only empty seat is beside Dame-Tsuna but please don't worry about that," he cast a sneer at Tsuna which the brunette duck his head in shame. "There's plenty of other students that would gladly make you feel welcome here."
"Don't you fuckin' talk trash about Jyuudaime, you stupid old man!" Gokudera shouted angrily and cue the rest of his antics while Yamamoto tries to pacify things.
Normally, Tsuna would join alongside Yamamoto to calm Gokudera but he was a little occupy with the girl calmly walking towards him while ignoring the boys gawking stares. She stops right beside Tsuna's table and clasps her hands at her back.
"It's nice to meet you two again…" Though her voice was gentle, her smile was anything but innocent.
"T-Two?" Tsuna stuttered. He was expecting something else from the snow white girl but what did she meant about that? Two?
White Rock Shooter chuckles in mild mirth as she pointed a thumb to the window. Since Tsuna's table was right beside the window, all he did was turn. Down below, members of the Discipline Committee were dutifully patrolling the area and the sky was clear and peaceful. But Tsuna didn't care for any of that in the moment; the boy was too horror struck with the image of his reflection that the window reflect. His right eye was bright orange with a circular pattern!
Tsuna thank the Gods (and Reborn) that he had deep control of his body or not he would be screaming from the bottom of his lungs at the hunted sight of his strange eye. He was also very lucky that Gokudera and Yamamoto was too preoccupy with the homeroom teacher to notice Tsuna's interaction with White Rock Shooter.
"Curious isn't it?" White Rock Shooter/White Love hums as she took a seat beside the gaping brunette. She had to admit, Tsunayoshi look so adorable as he stare at his reflection whilst wiggling his eyebrow. If he has floppy bunny ears, they would twitch like crazy. White Rock Shooter giggle quietly at that image; his 'other self' is seriously too cute for his own good!
To Tsuna dismay and confusion, he couldn't rotate his right eye or move his right eyebrow.
As he turns around to face White Rock Shooter, he covers his right eye with his hand to avoid anyone from noticing it. It was impossible to use the contact lens excuse when only his right eye was affected.
"W-What's going on? Why are you here and why is my eye like this?" It took all of his willpower to not let out his trademark shriek in the entire class but that doesn't mean that he couldn't let out a shiver.
"Why indeed…" She murmurs. She then smiles again and gently grasp Tsuna's hand the covers his right eye and spoke directly to him. "Now look what've you done," she playfully chastise. "You're making Tsunayoshi-kun afraid and confuse… that isn't exactly caring is it?" as she said that, White Rock Shooter's eyes was flickering to reveal their circular pattern and her sweet voice was mix between goading and teasing.
A small chill travel through Tsuna's spine as he witness the girl infront of him was not talking to him… instead to someone else.
'My black persona?' Tsuna thought as he recalled seeing a different reflection in the mirror before White Rock Shooter pulls him into her world. He also remembers that that guy has orange circular eyes. Then Tsuna realizes that he is observing through his eyes!
The orange eyes narrow maliciously but relent. It blinks once and disappears to normal brown colour. White Rock Shooter smile in triumph and leans back.
That infuriating wench! As soon as he opens his eyes, he was back here, at his little piece of heaven. He snarls viciously as he got up from beneath the tree. He knew he felt something was off the moment his counterpart woke up this morning. He pace back and forth much like a caged animal would do as his claw fisted tightly. He didn't expect this; he didn't expect White Rock Shooter to descend to the Human World!
He stop pacing and wonder just how much will she reveal to Tsunayoshi. Or if she will as the matter of fact. He began to think of the possibilities that White Rock Shooter would do: she could tell Tsuna everything about his existence or she could just simply lie but that doesn't serve anybody's purpose. She could also drag it on and choose him to explain to his counterpart.
As for her motives, White Rock Shooter might just want to observe his counterpart in a closer environment but whatever it is, it will surely attract the Vongola's attention. Just the mere thought of the despicable hitman irks him to annihilate something.
But it seems right now he needs to be wary of White Rock Shooter. The reason why he dislikes her so much is because her white appearance reminded him of the sly fox Byakuran and her secretive smile is similar to that pineapple freak, Mukuro.
It was obvious that it scream betrayal and suspicions but off course, his 'other self' trustworthy nature made him protective even more. His opinion on how his 'other self' behave and think is beyond him. He exists to eradicate anything that troubles Tsunayoshi and care for his mental state of health.
And right now with the arrival of White Rock Shooter, he could force to take drastic measure in order to protect his innocent counterpart.
He huff in irritation before he step near the patch of flowers. The colourful flowers were blooming healthily and were swaying delicately to the gentle wind that he allows. Since this was his domain, everything is on top of the fingertips of his claws. It makes it easier for him to take care of his 'other self's' memories and sanity.
Nothing much to do, he forces himself to calm down and watches White Rock Shooter before making any move.
For the first time in his life, Tsuna dreaded lunch break. One of the reasons is because he would be left alone while Gokudera and Yamamoto went on their separate ways to attend their respective club and that just leaves our Tsuna defenceless against the bullies. But now, he needs to not only deal with the bullies, but also White Love.
The dreaded bell rang once and Nezu-sensei got up and adjusts the papers in his hands. "We will continue with our lesson after lunch break. Class dismiss." And with that, he left and soon, the rest of the students follow.
A group of students began to horded around White Love's desk, asking all sorts of inane questions and wanting to know if she wants to join their clubs or become their friend. Through all of this, the snow white girl remains silent all the while smiling at human foolishness. As Sing Love, her singing career had once reached over the chart and that alone had allowed her to gain a lot of adoring fans. Though her success in the entertainment industry, her identity had remain a mystery much to her fans dismay but nonetheless, her enigmatic persona just made them loved her even more.
Now, sitting here in this small, pathetic, excuse for a classroom and surrounding with loud, yipping humans that she will now have to identify as classmates, how she wishes that she had worn a mask before applying to the school.
As for Tsuna, all he could do at the moment was sweat drop at the sight of White Rock Shooter drowned in a mass of human bodies.
'I h-hope that she is alright…' he thought. What he didn't aware is the satisfied, dark chuckle echo from the depth of his mind.
"Tsuna?" A voice broke Tsuna out of his train of thoughts as he turns towards Yamamoto. The swordsman was smiling away as usual but he also shows sign of apologetic. "Gokudera and I have a short club meeting to attend to," he slowly informed the brunette. "Maybe if we finish quickly then we can eat lunch together!"
Beside him, Gokudera was bowing and apologizing profusely. "Please forgive me Jyuudaime! But one of the Occult members just informed me that there is a ghost sighting somewhere nears this town and I really want to attend!"
Tsuna's lips dropped just a little but he quickly put on a small but weak smile and assures them that it was fine. White Rock Shooter 's calculating eyes were watching Tsuna's entire conversation with his friends and smirk slightly when she sees a way to approach their own little talk.
As soon as she saw them left rather noisily, she got up and the chatters stop. "White-san?" a random classmate asked hesitantly.
Said girl continue to ignore them and turn fully towards Tsuna.
'Uh-oh… please White Rock Shooter-san, don't attract any attention to me!' Tsuna shriek mentally. The former singer notice that the brunette was sweating discreetly and his eyes were silently begging and she smile warmly.
"Tsunayoshi-kun, would you be so kind as to have lunch with me?"
'HIEE! SHE DID IT!' and with that, chibi Tsuna face palmed. Tomorrow for certain that his bullies would multiply in groups and judging his classmates' expression, Tsuna gulped for his impending doom.
"Eh? You don't have to ask for Dame-Tsuna's company, White-san!" a girl loudly protests while glaring heatedly at the poor brunette. "Everyone knows that he is completely useless."
"Yeah! He is complete nobody and I can't understand why Yamamoto-san and Gokudera-san would hang out with a loser like him!" another girl agrees.
"But you know, nowadays those two aren't as close to Dame-Tsuna as they use too" a boy adds in.
Tsuna flinched.
"Hmph, well is about time!" a girl said haughtily. "I think their eyes have finally opened to Dame-Tsuna's lack of brain and sportsmanship." She flips her curly hair in an arrogant manner before addressing to White Rock Shooter. "So it's better to just ignore Dame-Tsuna, White-San. Let's us show you –"
"Shut up."
White Rock Shooter did not shout nor did she show any expression of aggression, in fact, she was still smiling like a child frolicking in a meadow of flowers. But that simple sentence that she spoke just now utterly laced with pure malevolence and contempt.
It left the classroom speechless and even the temperature dropped significantly. The crowd took an unconscious step away from the white warrior. Even Tsuna was surprise at the girl's tone.
"W-White-san?" the arrogant girl stammered fearfully.
She ignore her as her bright magenta eyes fixes on Tsuna. "Well? What do you say, Tsunayoshi-kun?" She inquire again, her become sweet and gentle again.
Acting on his keen survival instincts, he let out a broken, "Y-Yes!" and quickly got up.
"Thank you so much, Tsunayoshi-kun! So shall we?" and with that, the crowd parted a way and White Rock Shooter left, her delicate bangs sway almost majestically.
Tsuna took this opportunity to dash threw the still shell shocked crowd and follow after the girl.
He found White Rock Shooter leaning against the wall beside the door. "So Tsunayoshi-kun…" she begin, her smile was turning cat like. "Where can we talk privately?"
He was surprise that she defended his 'other self' from the verbal onslaught from those sorry excuses of human beings. She could deny it but he could perfectly saw how, like him, despise the human race (for the exception of a few in his case). As for the reason, he still didn't knew which is why it's crucial that he pays his full attention to how much she will reveal. Making himself comfortable, he leans back against the tree, his eyes stare up at the slightly clouded sky.
The only secluded spot Tsuna could think off in such notice were at the rooftop so he brought the girl up and was relief that nobody was there, even Hibari.
"It's so windy up here…" White Rock Shooter said as her elbows were rested on the metal railings and her head was tilted backwards rather dangerously. She was enjoying the pleasant breeze while Tsuna choose to wait until she starts explaining.
"So what do you want to know first, Tsunayoshi-kun?" she asked after a while.
Tsuna thought how he should he begin. So he settles with, "Why are you here, White Rock Shooter-san?"
"First off, please just call me Love-chan since White Rock Shooter-san is pretty mouthful" she replies as she faces him.
Tsuna laugh sheepishly as he scratches his cheeks. "I guess that is true Love-san –"
"Wrong again, Tsunayoshi-kun," she wagged her fingers playfully. "Follow after me, L-o-v-e-chan"
Tsuna sweat drops. 'Why do I feel like I'm under a gun all of the sudden!?'
"A-Alright then, Love-chan…"
"Now, was that so hard Tsunayoshi-kun?" she beams like how a cat had got the cream. "It's nice to be address so familiarly…" her smile suddenly turn wistful and was silent.
Tsuna was surprise at her sudden change of demeanour. Up until just now in the classroom, she had fearfully remind him of Byakuran but he had never saw the Millefiore boss any expression of weakness so he took in the small comfort of hope that White Rock Shooter would be different from the albino man.
"Anyway, the reason why I'm here is that…" White Rock Shooter trailed off and her head bow down slightly, her hair cast a shadow over her eyes.
Tsuna gulped fearfully, he begged that her motive wasn't something sinister or just to provoke him.
A moment passed until…
"I was so bored! And I wanted to know how being a school girl feels like!" she chirped happily.
Tsuna couldn't help but fell down comically at her random answer! 'T-That's it!? I thought it would be something scary like investigating about the mafia or even plan some sort of world domination!' Poor, poor Tsuna. What you don't know is that White Rock Shooter has already attempted the world domination thing.
His brown eyes widen in realization. 'Oh no! The mafia! Love-chan will surely notice something's going on when Reborn's nosy hands will found out about her!' and so another set of problem arise on the on-going pile.
He mentally shook his head from all of that and instead, focuses on the matter at hand. "Apart from that Love-chan, I was hoping you could explain about my… other self some more. I still don't understand any of this…" he admits.
White Rock Shooter ponder a moments. "I suppose I can explain it in an easier way…" she muttered and then sat on the floor beside Tsuna.
"You see Tsunayoshi-kun, every living person has a monster living in him – a darkness, if you will. This monster manifest from all the bad things that you never realizes exists within you and though they are abominations, they exist to carry and destroy the very essence that gave birth to them in order for you to belief in hopes and dreams. They could also observe events and memories that you ignore or unaware." White Rock Shooter explains in such an easy manner that Tsuna could absorb the information like a sponge. So unlike in Gokudera's study sessions.
"These abominations took the appearance similar to their host only they appear darker as a part of their nature. The only traits they share among their kind is the circular pattern in their eyes," White Rock continues. "Which is kind of strange as it doesn't signify anything…"
Tsuna nodded in understanding but a certain fact trigger something in his mind, "If that so then why is Love-chan eye's…" he choose not to finish his question as he fear that the girl would be upset but he was sincerely curious.
White Rock Shooter said that the black personas share similar traits, that their eyes have circular pattern so why is her eyes similar to them…?
The snow white girl smiles as if she was waiting for that particular question. "Oh, that's because I'm an alien, Tsunayoshi-kun!"
This time a double sweat dropped form on the young boss's head. 'I-Is this girl serious!'
White Rock Shooter very much enjoy seeing Tsuna's dumbstruck expression as it brings her amusement that is very different from observing the destruction of Earth while she was commanding the alien invasion in her own world. This was a warm sort of amusement and she looks forward to being around Tsunayoshi.
"Can you tell me about my black persona, Love-chan?" Tsuna inquire curiously, his head tilted to the side.
'This human is a walking mass of fluff and unicorn puke' White Rock Shooter thought idly before addressing to his inquire. "I think it's better for him to tell you as it's not in my place to do so."
"Oh…" he was a little down that she won't tell him anything about his dark reflection. "Have you met him before?"
"Oh, yes…" she nodded. "He was aiming a firearm on my head when we first met"
'Is he that violent!?' Tsuna thought in shock. Sensing his inner question, White Rock Shooter reply,
"You need to understand that your black persona is everything that you're not, Tsunayoshi-kun. So ask yourself, who is Sawada Tsunayoshi…?"
And she left it there to let the brunette understood who his other self exactly is…
If he could slap that albino shooter, then he would do it at least ten times! Does she have such poor impulses control, he wonders. And that inane answer: "Oh, that's because I'm an alien, Tsunayoshi-kun!" he, himself couldn't belief how much that annoyed him! Though he grudgingly accept that she never did lied once to his 'other self', he force himself to accept that she will attempt to irk him from now on.
Observing their interaction carefully, he made a brief analysis that White Rock Shooter is prideful; that fact was supported when he observe how coolly she was when those humans assaulted her with their useless questions. She held her head up high as her lips were sewn shut as if she was a princess in the presence of enemies, not wanting to dirty herself with those savages. She was also sadistic and was shown when he met her on the moon and despite how she said that she brings no trouble, her scythe was drawn and her stance was that of a fighting position, instead of defence. Oh, not to mention that he had noticed that pair of eyes sparkle in bloodlust.
He also suspects that she is an antagonistic person when her voice reveals pure, unadulterated malice in the classroom earlier. On top of all, there was a certain air of nobility around her as if she refuses to get her hands dirty unless she has too.
So all in all, while his 'other self' try to understand who he is, he will try to judge whether White Rock Shooter is worthy enough to be trusted and stay beside Sawada Tsunayoshi...
AN - Now please don't be confuse! White Rock Shooter isn't anything like Byakuran! I'll reveal it more in the chapters soon! As for her tiara, is the same blade from her wings if you guys knew about White Rock Shooter's background. I thought it would be cool and deadly :)
Well, that it for this chapter. I did promise that it would be longer didn't it? I really hope you guys enjoy is as much as I enjoy writing it!
I also patiently awaits for your lovely reviews!
Until next time and good night!~
And Merry Christmas! (Since it's officially the 25 now)
