Chapter 7: Questions and Answers
Lal was tapping her foot impatiently waiting for an answer. Nana, Kano, and Hana faces paled and started sweating slightly.
"La-Lal-san, what are you doing here? Weren't you going to wait at the shop?" Nana asked after she recovered from her momentary shock. Lal grabbed a small monitor out of nowhere, and showed it to the group. She then pressed a button and it showed the akuma that they just fought. That is until Tsuna got hit.
"I hid a camera that can't be seen by the naked eye on Tsuna's shirt. Once I couldn't see what was happening I rushed over here. Now someone explain to me what just happened." Lal snapped out. Nana, Hana, and Kano all looked away from her. Lal sighed and whispered, "Mama please tell me. If you don't, I have no choice but to show this to Reborn."
Nana eyes widened and yelled, "Ok I'll talk. Just don't show that to anyone." Lal gave a small smirk and nodded her head. Kano and Hana put Tsuna and Kyoko down in the car and got in themselves. They both thought,'We don't need to get involved. Mrs. S will handle the situation.'
"Please first tell what were those things were, and did Tsuna win against his opponent?" Lal asked hopefully.
Nana gave a small smile as she informed, "Those things were akuma. They're evil spirits that require souls to become 'whole' again. Tsuna fought against the one that hit him and broke the camera. It took him a while but he was able to beat it."
Lal gave a small smile that almost went unnoticed. She quickly got rid of it and asked. "Why did you guys suddenly appear? Also who are you carrying?"
Nana answered with, "That is called the combat barrier. It's a field that was originally made by the akuma so that they could drag still living souls out of their bodies and feast on them. However Redeemers are now able to find, enter, and fight against the akuma thanks to modern technology. This girl was about to be a victim of one of those akuma and, no I think my brain is just playing tricks on me."
Lal took in the information and decided that this was in fact true. She then asked, "Why have you been keeping this a secret from Sorb-I mean Soraka-san, and why did you choose Tsuna to be a Redeemer?"
"I wanted one of my sons to live a normal and happy life, and I picked Tsuna because when he was born some spirits gathered around him and started to dance and move in silly patterns. Tsuna started giggling in his cutemanner, but since he was just born, most people thought he was going cry like all the rest. This was what I thought to be a sign that he could see the spirits." Nana answered with a small smile as she was going back through her memories.
She then beamed and continued with, "This was confirmed about six years later when he saw an akuma at a playground. Most people thought that the, 'scary monster' he was talking about was another kid. Because of Tsuna we were able to find an akuma that was able to avoid us for nearly three years."
Lal nodded her head to show that she was still listening. She then graciously said, "Thank you for the new information mama. I, however don't want him to go to that store after school everyday after school since I am his tutor. Would it be alright if I can tutor him on every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, and when you guys have to take care of an akuma may I go with you? This way I can see what I need to help him in."
Nana poked her own cheek for a bit, and then she nodded her head. With a smile she agreed, "Alright that's fine, but you have to keep this a secret from Reborn and everyone else." She then grew an evil smirk as she continued, "If anyone finds out because of you, I'll have to give you a punishment."
Lal smiled and raised up her hand and promised, "I swear on my honor as a Mirch." Nana smiled at this and shook Lal's hand.
Nana then stood up and dusted the dirt off of her skirt and mumbled, "Alright now let's take this girl back to Redemption HQ."
Reborn was frowning of what was in front of him. He turned his head to look at his student and asked, "Sorbaka, would you mind telling me what this is."
Sora only frowned and said, "Isn't it obviously a Peanut Butter and Jelly." Reborn's frown deepened and pointed Leon in gun form at the PB&J.
"This thing has tentacles and green stuff oozing out of it." Reborn stated blandly. He then pointed Leon at Sora and said, "Since you tried to kill me, you have to run 50 laps around Namimori by dinner time." Sora face paled but started anyway.
Reborn frowned lessened but it was still there. He thought to himself, 'Lesson learned, if ever given the choice of having Bianchi or Sobaka as a personal chef choose Bianchi.'
