So before anyone read this chapter I would like to say that even though the crush is who it is it doesn't affect the story all that much. Besides just because it is who is, doesn't mean I can't add in sexual tension between Tsuna and other characters. For the sexual tension leave a review of the character name a situation where it can happen. Also if their is multiple reviews for the same character, I will pick a scene that will fit the story's plot best. (Sorry for any I don't pick.)
Chapter 3: Sora's Mishap
The next day Tsuna woke up around the time he did yesterday, annoying, but at least he was on schedule. So, as per his usual daily routine, he took another eight minute shower, shampoo, body wash and all, then went downstairs to diligently make breakfast for his family. Nana wandered sleepily into the kitchen to see Tsuna making the same thing he was yesterday. She smiled at the repeated antics of his and softly asked in her usual, albeit a little tired, happy tone, "Do you mind if I help you again, Tsu-kun?"
"Only if you promise not to ask any of your questions today." Tsuna responded quite robotically, while looking towards Nana's direction. Her smile came to her face ten-fold, and she nodded her head. Tsuna sighed in relief when he saw that she was being serious. Then a question hit him, one that he couldn't possibly ignore without stressing over it during the day, "Hey, Kaa-san. What did you mean yesterday when you said to form contracts with spirits to help fight akuma? I didn't see any spirits their besides Satou, Itou, and Watanabe. And when I asked them yesterday, they said they never formed a contract with you, so how were able to use them?"
Nana decided to wait a few minutes, thus creating a pregnant silence, just to mess with Tsuna, or perhaps jostle him up a bit, "I'm a high level redeemer, so I can use spirits that I haven't formed contracts with in battle. Although, if I do form a contract, the power of the weapon would increase majorly. Oh yeah, to form a contract you must ask a spirit to let you form one. It's simple, but you and the spirit must have a strong bond of friendship to form one."
Tsuna nodded his head slowly, attempting to remember all the information in correctly, practically installing it in his brain. After all, he was still Dame-Tsuna through and through, therefore, he couldn't calculate or memorize as fast as'normal' individuals. There was now a new question that had formulated in his mind whilst he stored away what his mother said, "What's a redeemer?" after realizing he asked his question aloud, he blushed slightly and tried to hide behind his hair, hoping his Kaa-san didn't hear him, nor see the light pink that currently adorned his cheeks.
"A redeemer is what we call ourselves. Everything else has been over used and redeemer sounds more interesting, doesn't it?" Nana answered her son's question in a joyful voice and with a playful smirk on her face. Dear, could she ever confuse someone with her outstandingly amazing acting and switch of moods?
"Ha-hai" Tsuna responded, a blush still oh-so-obvious on his face. Then they abruptly heard a rather loud 'smack' sound. 'Sora-san must be up...' Tsuna mentally noted. He then heard the sound of the shower running, confirming what he had thought. Sheesh, talk about quite the déjà vu. Around the time breakfast was completely finished, while Sora was slowly sauntering down the stairs, the doorbell rang. "I got it." Tsuna announced as he swiftly made his way towards the main door. When he opened the door he was greeted with air. Thin air. Was this some kind of prank?
Tsuna was befuddled until he heard a strange, "Ciaossu" from below him. He glanced down to see an infant that was dressed in an custom-made suit, wearing a odd fedora with a orange sash around it, and had a peculiar yellow pacifier hanging subtly around his neck.
Tsuna then heard his Kaa-san inquire innocently, "Is it the man from the tutoring company?" and she tilted her head in wonderment.
Before Tsuna could say anything, the infant instantly cut him off by retorting politely, "Ciaossu, my name is Reborn from the 'Vongola Tutoring' company. Our goal is to make your child a future leader of this world."
Tsuna stared at Reborn with wide eyes, doe-like eyes and Sora held almost the same expression as his elder brother, just make the eyes less doe-like. After his introduction, Reborn simply walked straight in, as if he lived there his entire life, and reached his arm out to Sora stating rather calmly, "So your my student, Sorbaka."
Tsuna got mad at that rude comment and almost shouted, though he held his voice back miraculously, "Sora-san isn't a baka. If anyone need's tutoring it's me, not Sora." Reborn shot Tsuna a glare that made his blood freeze. If looks could kill...he would never be able to reincarnate. However, Tsuna ignored the pain-promising glare and continued, "Your just an infant anyway, how could you tutor anyone?" Reborn got irritated by this and swiftly punched him in his gut; making Tsuna fall to the ground with a large 'thud'.
"Ni-Nii-chan." Sora ran to his brothers side, trying to pick him up. "Why did you do that to Nii-chan?" Sora demanded, his tone showing that he would not tolerate a silent response. Though, Reborn was in no way intimidated by the quick change of aura and tone, actually, in all truth, he was rather amused.
"He was making me angry." Reborn replied stoically, yet bluntly, like the answer was obvious.
Tsuna, with his pride shattered -not that he had much from the start...- by the fact that he was taken down with one hit from a baby, hastily grabded his stuff and voiced, "I'm leaving." and thus, briskly walked to school. That damn INFANT was making him look like a COMPLETE fool. Well, not that he wasn't already one, but, still, it made him seem like even MORE of one.
When he arrived at school grounds, he saw his crush by the front gate idling around with some of her friends. Not wanting to embarrass himself, or inter-up their conversation, he hurriedly, going unnoticed, slipped into the building to head to his class. Once he got into his seat, he glanced out out of the window, somewhat dazed until...he saw Sora-san...in his boxers... announcing his love to Kurokawa Hana...his crushes best friend. Oh the irony. Mochida somehow mistook the confession to Hana and thought that it was towards Kyoko (O-o Not even my hearing is that bad) so he challenged Sora to a duel for Kyoko's honor. Or more like his own personal liking. Sora, of course, was confused, and blushed horribly once he realized that he was half-naked in-front of two fourths of the student body.
Sora raced inside and showed up to his class a minute before the bell rang. After what had happened not long ago, everyone started to tease Sora relentlessly, with the exception of Tsuna, Kyoko, and Hana. So, to stop his popularity from plummeting any further, Tsuna did some incredibly dame things on purpose, attempting to draw the other students attention. Kyoko and Sora were the only ones to see that Tsuna did those things on purpose. Which was strange, considering that they were usually the most blissfully ignorant and unobservant people in Namimori, his mother being an exception during her some-what facade.
So, after an incredibly embarrassing day for the Sawada twins, everyone was waiting in the school gym for the inevitable show down. Tsuna was standing close to front to see if his brother needed any help, as he was willing to do VERY heavy-blush inticing stunts to advert their meaninglessly rude and cruel attitude towards him instead. The doors open about ten minutes after the bell to show Sora with his legs shaking uncontrollably. Once he showed up, Mochida practically sneered, "So you actually came. I was beginning to think that you wouldn't show. Well you're here now and the winner of this match get's Kyoko Sasagawa."
"What?" Sora shouted in shock, his mouth gaping.
"What?" Kyoko practically shrieked in anger, entirely enraged. Oh dear, who knew that the school idol had a furious side?
"What The Hell! Do you really believe she just some possession?!" Tsuna shouted, not only because of pure rage, but also because of the unruly and completely inhumane idea of someone being treated as a object instead of a normal human being with actual feelings. Everyone in the building was stunned into silence at Dame-Tsuna's sudden outburst. Kyoko even gave a small gasp and a following, 'Tsunayoshi-san..'
Mochida glared daggers at Tsuna. "Do you want some of this?" He snarled at the brunet. (Ah, you can either use the term brunette for both genders, or brunet for males ;D -otaku908)
Tsuna stepped back for a second, but he then blinked, took a deep breath, and calmed down, glaring back at his senpai with tenfold the malice. However, before Tsuna could say anything, Sora threw something at Mochida's head and yelled, "Hey baka-senpai, you're my fight NOT my Nii-chan, so back off!"
Mochida, in all his fury, whipped around and howled, "Fine then! Start!" He then began chasing after Sora furiously, going full speed, and Sora, being as fit yet as inexperienced at Kendo, ran as fast as his legs could carry him, not wishing to be knocked out by a mere wooden sword. Then, out of no where, a gun shot was heard and Sora fell in slow motion (Okay, couldn't help myself XD). Tsuna would have sworn that he saw his brother's spirit float above his body, catch on fire, and flop unceremoniously back into his body. After, some weird things started happening (0_0 how's that not weird). His brother stripped and there was a fire blazing brightly on his forehead. Wait...how was the fire not spreading? Arg, this would give Tsuna a headache later.
He then bellowed in a strange voice, "I WILL BEAT THE BAKA-SENPAI WITH MY DYING WILL!" Mochida was startled, but continued his ruthless swinging, he wanted Kyoko, dammit! Sora ran straight ahead during mid-swing, broke the shinai and tackled Mochida to the ground forcefully, then started to tear out his hair until he was bald. Or close to it anyways. Naturally, everyone stared in awe as this happened. This day was getting so damn strange for the student body.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, everyone cheered for Sora, ecstatic that he beat their senpai. Tsuna smiled softly for a moment, turned to Kyoko and softly told her, "He did it, you won't be a prize taken by a winner today, Kyoko-chan." Kyoko saw his face was happy and sincere. It made it her blush slightly, though, being the unobservant, dame boy he is, it went unnoticed by Tsuna.
She wasn't sure of what to else to say in this situation, she'd never really met someone like him, nor been in this kind of conversation before, but she never-the-less managed to say, "Thank you, Tsunayoshi-san. Or can I call you Tsuna-kun?" She asked, a little bit of hope evident in her voice. Oh dear, she really wished he said yes!
Tsuna blushed and replied rather shyly, "Of course, Kyoko-chan."
After that event, Tsuna and Sora walked home. When Tsuna was about to enter the house, he got hit square in the face by the door thanks to his Kaa-san exiting rather...eye-catching like. After noticing her son's body lying on the ground, she exclaimed, "Sorry Tsu-kun! I needed to go shopping. I know, how about you come with me?"
Tsuna got up, groaning silently at the action, and was about to say something until Reborn came out of no where (pretty much dressed like a ninja) and said almost stoically, "Just go Dame-Tsuna, I need to talk to Sorbaka alone anyway."
Tsuna mumbled that Sora wasn't a baka, but agreed to his mothers invitation regardless.
"What did you want to talk to me about, Reborn?" Sora inquired in a slightly mad tone because of the infant always calling him Sorbaka and his Nii-chan Dame-Tsuna. However, after he tried to say something he ended up like how Tsuna did. Face down in the dirt.
"I think your mama and Dame-Tsuna are hiding something from us." Reborn said in a some-what sad tone (which was either fake or real, Sora couldn't tell) as if he was hurt that 'his' mama was keeping a secret from him.
"Like what?" Sora questioned, a bit interested in what the kid was about to say. After all, his mom was kind of too oblivious to keep something from him. Or so he thought anyways.
"I saw Dame-Tsuna talking to nothing as if he was having a regular conversation. Not only that, but when I shot you with the dying will bullet he looked in more of an awe state of what happened above your body then a one of shock that you striped. Then, your mama, I can hardly ever find her when I want to. You also feel something off, don't you?" Reborn asked to see how far his intuition was. It was supposed to be in the bloodline of Soras, was it not?
"S-so what if I do? I'm being trained by you to become the Vongola tenth so Nii-chan doesn't get involved, right? So let keep him out of this." Sora replied, a little bit shocked.
Reborn smirked for only the reason of that he can still have some fun with this teen, "Can't keep him from the mafia 100%. His, and your, father is the leader of the CEDEF and his younger brother is the Vongola the tenth. Shouldn't he be taught some self-defense?" Reborn asked, knowing what the loving brother would do. Ah, the poor boy never knew how well Reborn could manipulate him.
"Ye-yeah he should, bu-" Before Sora could speak another word, Reborn literally threw a clipboard with a contract on it at him.
"That's what I thought. Sign here, here, and there." Is what reborn ordered, rather demanding, pointing at random area's on the contract. Sora blindly signed everything Reborns finger was directed to. "Good, now I will call in someone that will help with his tortur-I mean tutoring," and with that, Reborn left with a smirk that belonged to Satan and with a slightly confused Sora behind.
This was all thanks to my incredible BETA reader otaku908. She's great isn't she? Anyway vote on my new poll please! I've only had three the last time that I checked. I would really appreciate any votes.
