"The ocean!!" Tsuna shouted, amazed. Everyone was at the beach today. Gokudera started an argument with Yamamoto.
"Hey, Tsuna." Raidou said. Tsuna turned around to see Raidou, who was carrying most of the bags, in a sweater. Tsuna sweat dropped. "Why are we even here?"
"Uh…about that…" Tsuna said. Some people started to murmur about a few girls. It was about Kyoko and Haru. They changed into appropriate clothing for the beach unlike Raidou. Tsuna blushed. Raidou sighed.
"Hahi? Raidou-san? Why are you wearing a sweater?" Haru asked.
"Aren't you hot?" Kyoko asked.
"I'm fine…" Raidou said. Yamamoto went and set up his umbrella and Lambo and I-pin ran toward the ocean. Tsuna yelled at them.
"Whose fault do you think it is that we have to work here in the first place!?" Tsuna yelled.
"Lambo-san doesn't know!" Lambo said.
"It's because you destroyed the slide in the public pool!!!" Tsuna yelled.
"So that's why I'm here." Raidou sighed. Raidou lied down on the sand.
"Nii-san…you shouldn't lay down there." Tsuna said. "It might have crabs." Raidou got up.
"I don't really care." Raidou patted himself off. Yamamoto patted Raidou's shoulder. "Hmm?" He turned around to see Yamamoto.
"You should lie down under my umbrella!" Yamamoto smiled and led Raidou his umbrella. Raidou smiled.
"Thanks." Yamamoto turned a bit pink. Raidou stretched. "Bah, I'm tired." Everyone started to talk under the umbrella. "I'm going to get something to drink." Raidou walked off. On his way, he saw a lot of people staring at him. "They're probably wondering why I'm wearing a sweater." Raidou sighed. "I can't help it, can I?" He walked to the vending machine and got a bottle of cold water. He twisted open the cap and took a few sips. "Ah….that was refreshing." Raidou said. He walked around the beach. "Uh…where did everyone stay again?" Raidou scratched the back of his head. Then someone bumped into him. "Huh?" It was a little kid with some things in his arms.
"Sorry…" he said. Raidou shrugged and the boy ran off again, but not very far. He bumped into a few big guys. He dropped his stuff on the beach. The big guy grabbed the boy's shirt.
"Ah." Raidou said as he stared at them as they picked on the boy.
"You're leaving so much work for us!" The guy yelled.
"So they're lifeguards." Raidou whispered in himself. Raidou yawned. The boy cried. Raidou looked up. The boy dropped onto the sand and the lifeguards ate and drank all of his food. "Bunch of bastards…"
"Clean this up, will you?" One lifeguard said as he dropped the can on the sand. They walked over to Ryohei.
"Ryohei?" Raidou said to himself. Then he sighed. He walked over to the kid. "Hey. I'll clean this up. You go and play."
"You're the nii-chan I bumped into!" The boy said. Raidou smiled and rubbed the boy's head. "Thanks, onii-chan!" The boy ran away. Raidou picked up all the stuff and walked to a trash can. He threw everything in and walked toward Tsuna and the others. He saw Kyoko and Haru being surrounded by the guys. "Perverted assholes…" Raidou walked passed them and purposely bumped into them…hard.
"Hey!" One lifeguard yelled as he grabbed Raidou's shoulder. Raidou smacked it away. "Hey!" They grabbed Raidou's shoulder again, turned him around, and punched him on the cheek. Raidou stumbled backwards and Tsuna pushed on Raidou's back to keeping Raidou from falling.
"Senpai!" Ryohei yelled. "Why did you do that to Raidou? Raidou is a member of the boxing club!"
"Nii-san!" Tsuna yelled.
"Raidou! Are you okay?" Yamamoto asked. Raidou rubbed the place he was hit, put his arm down, and glared at the lifeguards. There was a bit of ripped skin where Raidou was hit. Yamamoto stared at the mark.
"It's fine, Ryohei, Tsuna, Yamamoto." Raidou's eyes shifted to see Yamamoto. "Hmm?"
"Your skin's ripped…" Yamamoto said. Raidou sighed.
"I don't care." Raidou said. He glared at the guards. "You guys. Get away from Kyoko-san and Haru-san."
"Oh? We just want to have fun with the girls."
"That makes sense. You guys are just a bunch of perverted geezers…" Raidou insulted.
"Raidou!" Ryohei yelled.
"What did you say!?" One guy ran toward Raidou and tried to hit him. Yamamoto grabbed the guy's arm.
"You'll regret ever doing that." Yamamoto said, serious.
"Huh? Were you going to do something!?" The guy yelled at Yamamoto. Yamamoto was about to answer.
"No. I was." Raidou said. He lifted his arm to reveal a bottle. "I was going to smash this in your face." Yamamoto looked at Raidou, surprised.
"Well, we'll go play with the girls. You guys go and work." One lifeguard said.
"Hold up." Yamamoto said.
"We've got no reason to do your dirty work." Gokudera said. The lifeguard glared at Gokudera.
"That's correct, senpai! I didn't call them here so you can fool around!" Ryohei said.
"You don't get it, Ryohei. We want our juniors to see how wonderful it is to be a lifeguard!" Ryohei agreed. Raidou sighed.
"Don't agree!" Gokudera yelled. Raidou sat down on the sand. Kyoko and Haru were talking to the guards.
"We're going to help my brother." Kyoko said.
"That's right! We will stay with Tsuna-san!" Haru said.
"Who's Tsuna? Tsuna as in 'tuna' right? I bet he can swim real good." They started to laugh.
"I'll tear you apart!" Gokudera yelled. Raidou yawned.
"Why don't you take off your sweater? Aren't you hot?" Yamamoto asked.
"Nah…" Raidou said. "I don't want to…"
"Come on!" Yamamoto grabbed Raidou's sweater and tried to take it off.
"Yo! Hold on!" Raidou yelled. One guard laughed.
"There's a gay dude here too!" Raidou glared at them and then sighed.
"Gokudera. Tear them apart with twice the power for me." Raidou said.
"Of course!" Gokudera yelled.
"You're gonna?" One lifeguard yelled.
"Yeah!"
"But we'll pass on fighting."
"What?"
"If you insist, let's settle it fair and square through sports. A three-on-three swimming contest. The losers become the winner's slaves."
"Sissy…" Raidou whispered. Then he winced. "Ouch…" He touched his wound. "I'll go sit under the umbrella for a while." He walked under the umbrella and sat down. Raidou lay his forehead on his hand. He sighed and looked over to see them about to start the match. "Why Tsuna? Oh well." Raidou cupped his hands around his mouth. "Good luck, Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto!" Yamamoto smiled, Gokudera smirked confidently, and Tsuna, well, he just stood there, his knees shaking.
"Okay!" Ryohei shot his mini gun in the air and Yamamoto and one lifeguard ran into the water. Raidou watched as Yamamoto swam behind the rock, but he didn't come back. Tsuna was concerned about his friend but the second match started anyway. Gokudera and the next dude ran into the water and swam toward the rock. This time, Gokudera didn't come back. Tsuna got even more worried about them. The leader decided that the third match will decided everything. The third match started. Tsuna and the leader ran into the water. Tsuna swam a few feet behind the leader.
"Help! My child!!!" A woman yelled. Raidou looked across the water to see a little girl floating away, crying. Tsuna swam to the little girl but disappeared into the water.
"His memories are coming back…" Raidou sighed.
"REBORN!!!!" Tsuna yelled. Raidou looked up to see Tsuna had jumped out of the water. "SAVE LIVES WITH MY DYING WILL!!!" Tsuna grabbed the little girl and swam toward the beach like a rocket.
"We won't let you!" One guy said. "We have juniors who'll stop you."
"Take care of him!"
"By juniors, do you mean these guys?" Someone asked. Raidou looked over to see a pile of knocked out people, Yamamoto, and Gokudera.
"I knew that they'd be all right." Raidou smirked. Yamamoto and Gokudera closed in on the two guys and beat them up. Raidou looked over to see Tsuna swimming closer and the leader just floating there, watching him. "Look out…" Raidou snickered. Tsuna punched the leader in the face and he flew to the other side of the beach. Raidou got up. Tsuna went back to normal. Raidou walked over to Tsuna. A crowd had gathered.
"The one who saved me was a lot ogre-like than you." The little girl said. Tsuna fell on his knees.
"That's too much!" Tsuna said. Raidou laughed.
"Come on, Tsuna. Looks like we're done here." Raidou said. Tsuna looked up at Raidou and agreed. Yamamoto and Gokudera came over. "Oh, Gokudera, Yamamoto. We're going to go now." Raidou grabbed Tsuna and they walked over across the beach. "Lambo! I-pin!" Raidou yelled. The two kids ran up to them. "Let's go." All four of them walked toward they're house. Raidou looked at a poster on the wall. "Hey, there's a festival today. You wanna go?"
"Sure!" Tsuna said. They arrived at home. "Mom! I'm home!"
"Welcome home, Tsu-kun, Raidou-kun, Lambo-kun, and I-pin-chan." Nana said.
"Yo. We're going to go out soon." Raidou said. Tsuna walked upstairs with Lambo and I-pin.
"To the festival?"
"Bingo." Raidou snapped his fingers. Nana giggled. "Well, could we have a light snack before we go?"
"Of course!" Nana said. She went into the kitchen and Raidou walked upstairs and into his room. A few minutes later, Raidou came down in new sweater. He walked into the kitchen to see Nana cooking up a snack. He sat down in his seat. About a minute later, Tsuna came down in a jacket.
"Yo." Raidou said. Tsuna sat into his seat and stared at Raidou. "What?"
"You look a bit paler than you usually are, Raidou-nii-san." Tsuna said. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Raidou said. Nana put their snacks on the table. "Sweet. Thanks, Auntie." Raidou took his snack and ate it slowly like he always does. Tsuna ate his as well. Lambo and I-pin came down too and ate their snacks. Lambo finished his early and eyed everyone's snacks. Lambo tried to steal Raidou's. Raidou caught his hand and lifted Lambo up. "No, Lambo. We're going to a festival so we'll probably buy something to eat." They finished their food and they set off to the festival. Lambo and I-pin chased each other and Raidou walked alongside with Tsuna. "It's been so long since I've been to one of these festivals." Raidou said, smiling. Tsuna stared at Raidou. "What?"
"Are you sick, nii-san? You're not looking too good." Tsuna said.
"Well, I ran into Hibari the other day when we went to the pool." Raidou said. Tsuna froze. "You're scared of him, I know." Raidou said. "Anyway, he sorta ripped opened my skin where my jaw is." Raidou pointed at where Hibari hit him. Tsuna stared.
"I don't see anything…" Tsuna said. Raidou laughed. He rubbed his jaw and the powder he put there was rubbed off. Tsuna saw the rip and jumped back, screaming.
"Calm down." Raidou said. "And I sorta crashed into glass when I fell and my leg got cuts." Raidou lifted his pants up slightly to show Tsuna bandages.
"Why didn't you say so before?" Tsuna yelled. "And you jumped into the pool. Your injury must have got infected."
"Well, pretty much." Raidou said. "But it'll heal."
"So you probably have a fever." Reborn said.
"Bingo." Raidou said.
"You should go home, nii-san." Tsuna said. "Your fever could get worse."
"Nah, didn't I tell you? I haven't been to one of these since forever."
"Nii-san…" Tsuna said. Raidou patted Tsuna's back.
"Don't worry." They arrived at the festival and Lambo and I-pin ran in. "I think I'll go find something to do." Raidou walked off. "Tired…" He walked into an empty part of the street. "Huh?" He looked to see Hibari. "What's he doing here?"
"Five thousand." Hibari said. The street vendor gave him money and Hibari walked away. Raidou walked over to the street vendor.
"Why did you give him money?" Raidou asked.
"Because if I don't, he'll destroy my shop." The man whimpered. Raidou snickered.
"I see." Raidou said. "Hmm…can I have some of your ice cream sundaes?"
"How many scoops?"
"Hmm… three." Raidou said.
"Coming right up!" He grabbed a bowl and got out a spoon. "What flavors?"
"Hmmm…." Raidou pointed at three flavors and the man scooped a spoonful. "Thanks." Raidou gave him money and he walked off with his ice cream. "This either tastes good or it's just because I haven't tasted ice cream for eight years." Raidou shrugged. "What ever." He walked up the street and saw a chocolate banana stand. "Could I have one?"
"Okay!" Someone said. Three people were in the stand. "Here you go." One person turned around and handed Raidou the banana. It was Yamamoto.
"Yamamoto?"
"Raidou!?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Nii-san!" Tsuna said.
"You're here too? What's going on?"
"We set up a shop." Tsuna explained. "Could you help us?"
"Sure." Raidou said. He walked into the stand. "How many more bananas?"
"Three more boxes." Gokudera counted. Raidou nodded. Raidou looked around the shop.
"Fancy shop." Raidou said. Tsuna sweat dropped. "I-pin's idea?" Tsuna nodded. Raidou laughed. "Well, let's do our best." Soon, lots of people came. "Whoa that was fast...okay three bananas…" Raidou took out three bananas, dipped them in chocolate, and sprinkled some sprinkles on them. "Here you go."
"Thanks!" The costumer said. Soon, Tsuna and the others only had one box left.
"Wow….that was fast." Raidou said. Yamamoto needed to go for a ball throw and Gokudera need to use the restroom. Tsuna rested on the chair and Raidou stretched. "I'm tired and hot."
"Did you fever get worse?" Tsuna asked. Raidou waved his hand.
"Nah." Suddenly, two hands reached out and grabbed the box with all of the money in it. "Tsuna!" Tsuna ran with Raidou down the street and up the stairs. "So much work…"
"Give back our profits!!!" Tsuna yelled. They reached the top of the stairs and saw the lifeguards from the beach.
"Those ugly guys again?" Raidou sighed. "Ugh…" Raidou fell down. "So dizzy and hot…" Juniors surrounded Tsuna and Raidou. One of them was about to hit Raidou with a bat.
"Nii-san! Watch out!" Tsuna yelled. Raidou squeezed his eyes shut, but nothing happened. He opened one eye to see the guy knocked out and Hibari with a smirk across his lips. "Hibari-san!"
"Here for the money?" Raidou asked. Hibari smirked. "I thought so." Suddenly, Lambo screamed. "Lambo!?" Raidou turned around to see Lambo run around Tsuna with I-pin on top of him. "What?" Lambo ran toward the trees and…BOOM! Raidou squeezed one eye shut and winced. "That's going to leave a mark…"
"How long are you going to sit on the floor in front of me?" Hibari said. He grabbed Raidou's arm and Raidou got up.
"Don't hold back. Get them!" The leader yelled.
"Isn't this a little too much even for Nii-san and Hibari-san?" Tsuna asked. BLAM! Tsuna suddenly fell backwards and he tore out of his clothes. "REBORN! I'LL FIGHT WITH MY DYING WILL!!!"
"Get out of here. You're an eyesore." Hibari said.
"Hell no. I still haven't kicked any ass since I came here." Raidou said. BOOM! It was Gokudera and Yamamoto.
"Tenth!"
"Help has arrived." They joined the little group.
"Don't kid around. I'll be taking the stolen money." Hibari said.
"NO WAY!" Tsuna yelled.
"Naturally." Gokudera said.
"Yeah!" Yamamoto said.
"I don't care really…I just want to kick their sorry asses and fix up their messed up faces."
"Why are you getting all excited amongst yourselves!? Get'em!" The leader yelled. About an hour later, all the juniors and seniors were in a heap of beaten up bodies. "Are you guys really middle-schoolers?" Hibari took the money and Raidou stepped on the leader's face.
"There. I fixed your messed up face." Raidou said.
"I WON'T LET YOU TAKE THIS MONEY!!!" Tsuna yelled. Raidou looked over to see Yamamoto and Gokudera defending Tsuna and Tsuna defending the box of money. Tsuna turned into dorky Tsuna and panicked a bit. "Everyone worked hard on getting this money. I won't let you take it!" Raidou sighed. He looked up and saw Lambo and I-pin.
"Lambo…I-pin…you guys finished playing just in time." Raidou walked to the little kids. Hibari's gaze followed Raidou. "You guys look beaten up."
"I-pin okay." I-pin said.
"Lambo-san can't be beaten after that!" Raidou turned around to see Hibari looked away and walk away.
"You owe me one." Hibari said. Tsuna sighed. Raidou looked at Hibari's back as Hibari walked away. Then he shrugged. Kyoko, Haru, and Fuuta arrived.
"Why are they here?" Raidou asked himself. He got up and walked over to where everyone was. The fireworks started. They all stared up at the fireworks. Raidou's eyes kept on widening and narrowing. Then he closed his eyes and his head fell…on Yamamoto's shoulder. Yamamoto turned red.
"Ra-Raidou?" Yamamoto looked at Raidou. "Raidou!?"
"Nii-san!?" Tsuna yelled, turning around to see Raidou. Kyoko reached over to Raidou and touched his forehead.
"He's running a fever!"
