Finally! After a loooooong time I am able to update Tennis and Her Mist. Sorry for the wait as well for any errors you can pinpoint here. So without further ado, I hereby present the Chapter 7.

Chapter VII

Ever since their meeting with the Varia, Tsuna had been more uneasy and the more he's uneasy, the more he becomes clumsy which irritates his sadistic tutor. One time when he was just walking out of his own bedroom, he tripped on his own feet and rolled down to the stair. Another time is while he was just eating, he managed to fall on his chair. It was really ridiculous that it irked Reborn to the highest level.

"You'd been clumsier as ever since you got home. It is unbecoming for the soon to be Vongola boss." Reborn finally commented.

Tsuna who was doing his homework abruptly stopped. "What do you mean Reborn? I've been clumsy as always and how many times should I tell you Reborn that I don't want to be the boss." He replied as he continued what he was previously doing.

"You always say that yet you always do the opposite. Like how you even went to Varia just to ask help for your other mist guardian."

"I'm not doing this because Chrome is the other mist guardian. I'm doing it because she is a friend and part of the family that's why." Tsuna, for rare times seriously said as Reborn inwardly smirked. Despite being still awkward, the once Dame-Tsuna had grown some backbone though he didn't noticed it.

"Well suit it then." The young tutor jump out of the window and left the brunette completely in silence. As Tsuna made sure that the baby had really left, he slumped on his seat and stared at the white ceiling with dazed eyes.

"She's a part of the family. My family."

The day went smoothly as the team won all the games and to celebrate it, Seigaku decided to go to Kawamura's sushi shop just like how they always do in the past.

"Taka's sushis really the best!" Kikumaru exclaimed as he eat gleefully. Taka on the other just chuckled sheepishly to the rowdy group.

"Here eat Nagi-chan. Taka-senpai's sushi is really delicious and since we can eat here free, eat all you can." Tomo-chan excited said as she pushed some salmon roll to Nagi to which she timidly accepted.

"Uhm. Thank you." She said as she silently nibbled the sushi and eyeing the team. They greatly reminded her of others. Like how they also get together in Rainman's sushi shop and eat together happily and that memory made her stopped eating as she stared wistfully at the half eaten salmon roll which goes unnoticed by a certain Echizen Ryoma who sat diagonally to her. She was brought back to her trance when she saw a plate of egg sushi with some unagi on her front. Looking up, she saw a certain classmate offering it to her.

"Here." Was all the prince said as he went back sipping his favorite ponta.

"Thank you." Nagi replied which earned a "Hn" from him. The little interaction was unfortunately seen by Sakuno but being such a kind and pure child, she just regarded it as a kind gesture which rare for the cat-eyed player.

Finally after almost two hours of celebrating, the team went home which left Fuji and Nagi to walk together. All throughout their way to home, Fuji noticed the gloominess of the girl but decided not to talk about it since she seems to be detached from herself.

Entering her room, Nagi decided to escape for some fresh air. Wearing her Kokuyo uniform, she jumped out from the window stealthily and left the house. As she walk, she observed the place which obviously different from Namimori and at the thought of it, she once again fell into depression. Not wanting to be lulled in such sad thoughts, she shook her head and continued walking until she found herself in a tennis court. Out of nowhere she saw a tennis racket and a ball upon the bench which left by someone. She got it and started playing as her hair that she had left loosely swayed on her every move. Truth to be told, despite of her frailty she was once a tennis player unknown by her mother when she was just Nagi and even her newly found family today didn't know her little secret because she had kept it from everyone. Surely, she had act like she had no idea about tennis because she really doesn't want others even her love ones to find out her little secret. Even to him, she didn't dared to say a word about it. And another reason is that she really doesn't want to be a manager! Being manager means to be surrounded by them. Yes she had finally used to be with her rowdy family but it had took a long time and if it's not because of their boss nagging her (yes Tsuna did nag her about it) about being a loner she would remain distant from them. So just thinking about the new family that as raucous as with them, she can't helped but go back to the shy and timid girl she was before. But then to survive in this place she had no idea whatsoever, she had to be a manager but of course she will keep her secret then.

She keeps playing as the ball keep back and forth smoothly and with the last turn, she smashed the ball that left a rather large dent on the wall. She smiled a little with satisfaction. It seems that even she had not played for a long time, she could still play well. Hopefully she could even just for once could have a tennis match though she knew it will be impossible because she's too shy to ask someone to play with her. Upon feeling that she had stayed for a long time outside and with a sigh, she return back the racket and walked back home. Unbeknownst to her, someone had seen the entire ordeal as his eyes sparked in akin to amusement.

That's it! Sorry if it is very short and roughly written, edited and etc... Thanks for reading! RnR if you would like. :)
