It's finally time to start this… *shrinks away*


Raidou walked downstairs, yawning. He walked into the kitchen to see loads of food on the table. Raidou rubbed his eye. Loads of food on the table. He rubbed his eyes again. Still there.

"W-what's going on?" Raidou asked. He looked over at the counter to see Nana still cooking. Raidou stared at her with a sweat drop on his head. Lambo and I-pin ran by his feet.

"Mom! Is breakfast ready?" Raidou heard Tsuna call. Then Tsuna peaked in the kitchen. "What? It's already done-!" Tsuna stared at the table in awe.

"Ciaossu!" Reborn said.

"I-It's only morning. What's going on?" Tsuna asked. Raidou pointed at Nana. Tsuna turned his head to see his mother still cooking and humming a tune. "And she's still cooking!"

"Tsuna, what's the meaning of this?" Bianchi asked.

"Did Tsuna-nii get a hundred yesterday?" Fuuta asked. Tsuna cupped his chin.

"No. Yesterday was my usual no-good life." Tsuna said.

"Then what happened?" Bianchi asked.

"Who knows?" Raidou asked. "Unless you ask."

"M-mom?" Tsuna asked. No response. "Mom?!" Still no response. "MOM!" It was silent for a moment before Nana responded.

"Oh! Tsu-kun!" Nana turned around.

"Wh-what a slow reaction." Raidou whispered to himself.

"Tsu-kun!" She waved the knife that was in her hands up and down.

"The knife! Be careful! (Houchou!)" Tsuna said.

"Oh, a butterfly? Just kidding! (Hou, chou desuka?)" Nana said. Tsuna sweat dropped along with Raidou.

"So what is all this?" Tsuna asked. "You're acting really weird!"

"Oh, really?" Nana asked.

"Definitely weird!"

"Looks like Tsuna still doesn't understand a young woman's feelings." Reborn said.

"And a baby like you understands?!" Tsuna screamed.

"Oh! That's right!" Nana said. "I didn't tell you yet."

"Tell me what?"

"Dad's coming home!"

"Eh?"

"For the first time in two years!"

"EH?! HUH?!" Tsuna yelled.

"Is it really that much of a surprise?" Bianchi asked.

"S-so he was found!" Tsuna said.

"Found? What do you mean?" Nana asked.

"Didn't Dad disappear?" Tsuna asked.

"Disappear?" Fuuta asked.

"Perhaps he discovered an underground government and has been running away this whole time." Bianchi said. Raidou sweat dropped as he took out his notebook and pen.

"Or maybe he was framed for a crime he didn't commit and the real culprit was found." Fuuta said. Raidou started to doodle.

"There's no way that it would be from movies like that!" Tsuna screamed.

"Oh dear, Tsu-kun!" Nana said. "Did you really think that he disappeared?"

"Eh? Th-then what?" Tsuna asked.

"Well, if he had, who would have paid for your tuition, our mortgage, our food, our shelter, and our cost of living?" She asked.

"TH-THAT'S RIGHT!!!" Tsuna screamed.

"We've stayed in contact!" Nana said. "Your dad is always working hard digging up oil. He's a man of the earth!"

"A man…" Fuuta started.

"Of the earth?!" Tsuna screamed.

"How ordinary." Bianchi said.

"Is being a man of the earth ordinary?!" Tsuna screamed.

"I understand that Tsuna misunderstood." Bianchi said. "I thought that talking about Papa was taboo."

"I thought he died." Fuuta said.

"B-but mom! You told me that Dad disappeared!" Tsuna yelled.

"Oh? That?" Nana said. "Well, before your dad left he said…" Raidou lifted up his notebook and started to imitate Tsuna's dad's voice.

"I'm going, Nana." Raidou said.

"Yes, dear." Nana said.

"Nana, you said that you like men with a sense of romance, right?"

"Yes."

"Tell Tsuna that I disappeared and became a star. It's sounds much more romantic." Fuuta chuckled.

"Wah~!"

"See you."

"Like that!" Nana said obviously blushing.

"You think that I'd be satisfied with that?!" Tsuna yelled. "And Nii-san! Why are you imitating Dad's voice and drawing that whole scene out for me?!"

"This isn't the real scene…I think…." Raidou said. "Besides, I have to practice on my drawing and imitating voices. This was the perfect opportunity. I sound like Uncle don't I?"

"I don't need it!" Tsuna yelled. Raidou laughed.

"Okay, Okay." Raidou said as he put his notebook away. He walked over to the table and took his seat. "I guess I'll dig in." Raidou grabbed a chicken leg and bit into it as Tsuna discussed things with Nana.

"What an interesting Papa." Bianchi said.

"So when's he coming home?" Fuuta asked.

"Soon!" Nana said. "A postcard came in the mail."

"A postcard?" Tsuna asked. Nana reached into her pocket and pulled out a postcard. Tsuna peeked over her shoulder and screamed. "IS THERE REALLY OIL HERE?!" Raidou got up and walked over to Tsuna.

"Let me see." He peeked over Tsuna's shoulder to see a picture of penguins and their habitat. He sweat dropped. "I-Isn't that Antarctica?"

"Right?" Nana said. "It says that he'll be home soon!"

"Maybe in a few days…." Raidou whispered to himself. Nana started to cook again.

"You don't know when he's coming home and you're already cooking?!" Tsuna yelled.

"Everyday's going to be a feast." Reborn said.

"FEAST!! LAMBO-SAN LOVES FEASTS!!!" Lambo yelled at the top of his lungs.

"I WELCOME IT!!!" I-pin yelled as she and Lambo started to dig in. Raidou stared at them and looked away.

"You guys are eating too much…." Raidou said. "Where does it all fit?" Raidou sat at the table and started to eat. Tsuna sighed in defeat. "Why are you just standing there, Tsuna?"

"But Nii-san…." Tsuna said.

"There's no helping it, Tsuna." Raidou said. "People like us won't be able to understand a young woman's heart." Tsuna sweat dropped. "Just sit down and eat. You can't concentrate at school if your stomach's empty."

"O-okay then…" Tsuna said as he sat down and began to eat. About ten minutes later, Tsuna was done eating. "Gouchisousama." DING DONG!

"I'll get it." Raidou leaped out of his chair, walked to the door, and opened it to see Gokudera and Yamamoto.

"Morni-!" Gokudera started. "Oh, it's you, Raidou."

"Yo!" Yamamoto said.

"Morning, Gokudera. Morning, Yamamoto." Raidou said. "Tsuna! Gokudera and Yamamoto are here!" Raidou yelled toward the kitchen. Tsuna jumped out of his seat, knocking the seat over, and ran out the kitchen. "About time."

"Sorry, Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto." Tsuna said.

"It's fine, Tenth!" Gokudera said.

"Yup!" Yamamoto said. "Let's go!" Tsuna squeezed on his shoes.

"Y-yeah!" Tsuna walked out the door with his two friends. Raidou smirked as he watched them walk their way down the street. A few minutes later, Reborn, Lambo, I-pin, Bianchi, and Fuuta finished their breakfast.

"We're going out, Raidou-nii!" Fuuta called. Raidou looked at him.

"You, Reborn, Lambo, and I-pin?" Raidou asked. Fuuta nodded. "You're not going, Bianchi?"

"I'm a busy person, you know." Bianchi said. Raidou nodded and Reborn and the others left. Several minutes later, Raidou finished his breakfast. He placed his hands together.

"Gouchisousama." Raidou said. He looked at his watch. "Ah." Raidou got up from his seat, collected his plates, and placed them in the sink. Then he went upstairs and into his room. A few minutes later, he came out of his room dressed up. He walked downstairs and peeked into the kitchen to see Nana still cooking. Raidou sweat dropped as he made his way to the door. He put on his shoes and tied them tight yet loose. Then he headed out the door. "I'll be late if I don't hurry…" Raidou quickly took a turn into an alley way and climbed over a fence. He landed safely on both feet. "Sweet. That should do it." Raidou walked out of the alley way and walked into the shopping district. He looked up to see Tsuna and the others walking down the shopping district. "What's going on?" Raidou pulled on his hooded and tried to walk pass them. But before that, Raidou stared into the pet shop window to see Lambo. He sweat dropped. "L-Lambo…"

"I-pin spot him!" I-pin ran beside Raidou and pointed at the window.

"That's-!" Kyoko said.

"He fits right inside but...!" Tsuna yelled. He ran into the shop and everyone crowded in front of the door. Raidou sighed. A few minutes later, Lambo was brought out and Tsuna bowed to the shopkeeper. "I'm sorry!"

"He's gone…" Raidou whispered.

"Lambo?!" Tsuna turned around and looked everywhere. Suddenly, they saw Lambo holding a bra to his eyes.

"Eye torpedoes!" Lambo yelled. "Fire! Fire! Fire!" Raidou sweat dropped as he stared at Lambo.

"Please forgive Lambo-sama! Please!" Tsuna yelled as he bowed into the shop. Raidou laughed.

"Huh?" Yamamoto said as he turned around. Raidou quickly clamped his hand over his mouth. Yamamoto and Gokudera approached Raidou.

"Raidou…?" Gokudera asked. Raidou sighed as he pulled off his hood.

"Darn… shouldn't have laughed." Raidou said. "Is my laugh that noticeable?" Yamamoto and Gokudera nodded.

"Hahi? Raidou-san?" Haru asked. "I didn't know that you were here!"

"I just laughed though…" Raidou said.

"Well, I can't actually recognize someone by their laugh." Haru said.

"Hmm?" Raidou looked at Yamamoto and Gokudera. "Then how did you two know I was here from my laugh?" The guys blushed.

"W-well…" Gokudera started.

"W-we s-sorta…" Yamamoto said. Raidou laughed.

"Never mind." Raidou said. "This question is too hard for you two." Gokudera and Yamamoto blushed even redder. Raidou looked at his watch. "Crap. I'm gonna be late." Raidou reached out and patted Gokudera and Yamamoto on the head, making them jump and become even redder than ever. "See you." And Raidou made his way down the street. Yamamoto and Gokudera quickly shook their heads to snap themselves out of their trances. Raidou entered the arcade.

"You're late, Raidou!" Hikaru yelled.

"Learn how to read time, Hikaru. I'm 3 seconds early." Raidou said. Hikaru frowned.

"Good Morning, Raidou-kun!" Hikari said. "Glad you could make it."

"Of course." Raidou smiled. "Morning, Hikari. Wait… or was it Hikaru?"

"Quit fooling around!" Hikaru yelled. "I don't want to be compared to this girl!" He pointed at Hikari.

"What?" Raidou asked. "Aren't you twins?"

"Of course!" Hikari said. "Onii-chan is just a meanie!" Raidou laughed.

"Really?" Raidou said as he walked toward the changing room. He whispered something.

"What?" Hikari asked.

"It's nothing." Raidou said. "I have to get my jacket from my locker." Raidou entered the changing room and went to the far corner of the room. He opened his locker and grabbed his jacket. Then he pulled a cap of his head, backwards. He hung his bag on a hook in his locker and kicked it closed as he walked toward the door. With that, he walked out of the changing room.

"Raidou-kun!" Hikari said.

"Are you trying to look bad ass or something?" Hikaru asked.

"I have a ponytail, you guys." Raidou said. "You should know that."

"Really?" Hikari asked, staring wide-eyed at him. Raidou sighed.

"Never mind." Raidou said. "It's hidden in my jacket and behind my cap, after all."

"Oh. So that's why I couldn't see it." Hikaru said. Raidou smirked.

"I'm good at hiding things after all."

"You bet you are." Hikari said. Raidou laughed.

"Well, let's get started." Raidou said as he rolled his sleeves up. Soon, there was a bunch of people who walked into the arcade. Raidou went behind the counter to grab a book to read. It was silent. "You guys are really rude you know. You're supposed to see welcome to the costumer-!" Raidou stared at their faces. "Do you guys have a fever of some kind? Your faces are red." No response. He waved his hand in front of their faces. "Hello? Anybody home?"

"S-so hot…" Hikari said. Raidou stared at her.

"S-so cute…" Hikaru said. Raidou stared at him. Then he sighed.

"I will never understand the heart of a girl or a boy." Raidou whispered. "Okay you guys." He pushed them into the changing room. "Stay here. I'm scared at you two may assault the costumers."

"U-um…excuse me…" Someone said. Raidou turned around to see Tsuna. "N-NII-SAN?!"

"Tsuna?" Raidou asked. "Why are you here?"

"That's my line!" Tsuna yelled.

"I work here."

"A JOB?!"

"Yup." Raidou nodded. "Now tell me. What are you doing here?"

"U-uh…" Tsuna started.

"Never mind." Raidou said. "So what do you want?"

"I-I want to buy this…" Tsuna held out a game. Raidou stared at it.

"Another game huh." Raidou said. "That's twelve thousand seven hundred yen." Tsuna checked his wallet. Not enough. Raidou sighed. He slipped the game into a bag and gave it to Tsuna. "Take it."

"Nii-san!" Tsuna reached over and Raidou bent over to let Tsuna hug him. "Thank you!"

"No problem." Raidou said.

"Tsuna!" Lambo yelled as he tugged on Tsuna's pants. "Lambo-san's thirsty!"

"I got it. I got it." Tsuna said. "See you later, Nii-san."

"I'm gonna hang out with my friends for a while, so later isn't the right word." Raidou said.

"Oh I see." Tsuna said. Then he left. Raidou yawned and walked into the changing room to bump into the two twins.

"Were you guys peeking on us?" Raidou asked.

"Y-yeah…" Hikaru said.

"I-I couldn't help it!!!" Hikari said. "I mean, those guys were way too hot to resist!!" Raidou lifted an eyebrow.

"Who do you mean?" Raidou asked.

"Eh?" Hikari asked. "I mean the guy with spiky black hair and the guy with medium length silver hair!"

"Oh. You mean Yamamoto and Gokudera?" Raidou asked.

"You know them?!" Hikari yelled. Raidou nodded.

"Friends of a friend of mine." Raidou rubbed the back of his head. "Does that even make sense…?"

"Then do you know those girls?" Hikaru asked.

"You mean Haru-san and Kyoko-san?" Raidou asked. Hikari and Hikaru looked at Raidou in determined eyes.

"GIVE ME THEIR NUMBER!!" They screamed. Raidou jumped back.

"U-uh…" Raidou said. The twins took out their cell phones and looked at Raidou with anticipating eyes. Raidou sweat dropped as he stared at them. "I don't have their numbers so giving you their number is going to be hard." Raidou rubbed the back of his neck. The twins dropped their arms and heads in defeat. "Uh… s-sorry…" Raidou walked into the changing room. When he entered the changing room, he sighed in relief. "I was right. I will never understand how a girl's and boy's mind work." Raidou went to his locker and took out his bag. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "Fireworks?" He looked up at the ceiling. It was shaking. "Guess not…" Suddenly, Hikaru and Hikari rushed into the changing room, yelling and screaming.

"Raidou-kun!" Hikari screamed.

"Ex-explosions!!!" Hikaru yelled.

"I know." Raidou said.

"How can you be so calm?!" They yelled at Raidou.

"Well, you run into a lot of mistakes if you panic." Raidou pointed at the twins. "You guys stay together and hide somewhere safe. I'll have to change." The twins nodded as they ran out the door. Raidou watched as they left before sighing. "This is huge pain in the neck…" Raidou pulled off his jacket. "So troublesome." He sighed heavily.
