Sun and Moon, Ryohei's Destiny 4 {Bring it on}

My life was over. Culpo was the last person I ever wanted to see let alone go on a date with. Miharu snapped her fingers in front of my face but I just sat there on the couch in Tsuna's living room. Everyone sat or stood in front of him. Tsuna's mother offered to cook something but Tsuna shook his head. I wouldn't eat anything. I had lost my appetite for the rest of my life.

"Is she going to be ok?" Tsuna asked. Miharu looked at him, not really sure how to answer. Tiny feet were implanted on my head.

"Enough," Reborn said. I rubbed the side of my head and nodded. He was right. I had to get a hold of myself.

"I have to go on a date with him." I said more to myself than anyone else.

"Sayomi? Who's Culpo?" Tsuna asked. "I thought you were going with Leiko. That was the deal." I shook my head, still unbelieving how he did it but I was sure Leiko was Culpo.

"I was hoping I would never have to explain any of this. Only Miharu and I know about him." I sighed as I began to explain. "Yoshida Culpo was, well is, a well known fighter in Italy. He was the heir of the Bonavolado Family until his father disowned him for being too reckless and out of control. That only made things worse. At the time, Miharu and I were really his only friends. A while later, I became more. That's when things went downhill."

"Did he hurt you?" Tsuna asked. I could tell it was weird, almost awkward, for him to ask but he did anyway.

"No," I said. Miharu clenched her fist as I knew she remembered. He didn't hit me. "But he tried to. He failed, thanks to my training. Culpo was never able to beat me. No matter how hard he tried."

"That's cause he pulls his punches. Weakling." Miharu muttered the last part under her breath but I still heard.

"Miharu," I said to her but she just shrugged. She wouldn't take it back. Part of me didn't want her too. I turned back to the others. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ryohei leaning against the door frame. He wasn't really in the room but he was still listening to something he didn't want to hear.

"Last I saw of him, he was trying to make his own Mafia Family. He wanted Miharu and I to join but we both refused. Culpo was most upset that I wouldn't stand by him. After our fight, he disappeared and I haven't seen him since." Tsuna's mother came out with a big smile on her face. Usually, it brought comfort to us all but it brought me very little. It didn't change the fact that I still had to go on a date with him.

As his mother walked in, Miharu and I took note of someone else. Her long purple hair fell down past her shoulders and swayed as she walked towards Reborn. Miharu and I only heard about her in stories and rumors.

"Gah! Si-" Gokudara cringed and fell to the floor as he clutched his stomach.

"Oh, Sayomi, Miharu, this is Bia-" Tsuna didn't have to finish her name. We already knew. Miharu and I knew everything there was to know about her.

"Also known as Poison Scorpion." Miharu sighed. At the same time, we rushed up to her and hugged her. "I am your biggest fan! Can I have your autograph?" Miharu quickly pulled out a pen and pad paper for her to sign. The Poison Scorpion smiled at us and the pad and paper where she made Miharu's dream come true.

"Call me Bianchi, girls." The Poi-I mean, Biachi smiled. Miharu and I nodded at her request. What could I say? She was our idol. Many times we wished to meet her and here she was; right in front of us. She had to be the answer to our problem.

"Bianchi, what should we do?" I asked her. "We have to go on dates with my ex-boyfriend and one of his goonies."

"Go on the date." Bianchi shrugs. All of our mouths dropped straight to the floor. We couldn't believe she was actually serious. "I've read up on you girls and know very well your skills."

"Bianchi," Reborn said to get her attention. Bianchi knelt down beside him and wrapped her arms around his small body.

"Yes, Reborn?" She asked soothingly.

"Gokudera." He pointed. Gokudera was still curled on the floor with his stomach all in knots. Bianchi looked at her brother and smiled at her mistake. Out of her pocket she pulled a pair of goggles and placed them over her eyes.

"Sorry, Hayato." Miharu and I looked at each other but we just shrugged. We didn't understand why he cringed at the sight of his wonderful sister. Though, it still bugged me that we were still going on that date. It seemed there was nothing Bianchi could do; or would do. Miharu and I had to face our dates head on.

Heaven help us.

POV: Gokudera

Miharu and Sayomi continued to fear for their dates. For some reason, I wasn't too happy about their little date either. I tried talking to the Tenth but every time I even got close to telling him to stop the girls, I couldn't do it. I had to do it. The Tenth sat at the kitchen table eating his breakfast. Sayomi and Miharu hadn't come over yet so now was the perfect time. My heart was racing and I was shaking in my shoes.

"Uh, Te-" A hand covered my mouth and someone pulled me into another room. I was released and a door was closed behind me. "What's-" I turned around and glared at a familiar face. "Turf head! What's wrong with you? I was just about to talk to the Tenth!"

"Shush, Octopus Head! To the extreme!" He clenched his fist to add emphasis. "Look, I know you're not happy with Sayomi and Miharu going on their date. I'm not happy with it either. We have to do something." He wasn't really what I had in mind but he would do.

"Right. We have to do something." I began to pace as the wheels in my head began to turn. We had to come up with a plan to stop them from going on the date.

"WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR WOMEN TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei yelled. I covered his mouth so no one else would hear him.

"Shut up, Turf head! Moron," I sighed. That's when it hit me. He wasn't the brightest crayon in the box but he gave me an idea. "Ryohei, I've got a plan."

POV: Sayomi

The night had finally come. Miharu and I had dressed nicely but I tried not to look too impressive. Miharu wanted to wear a sweatshirt, dirty jeans and sneakers but I told her it was a bad idea. It would get hot and, knowing Culpo, he would trick us somehow into getting us into doing another date if we didn't do it right. So I put Miharu in a nice shirt and jeans and I did the same. By the time we arrived at the carnival, Culpo and Ts'aan were waiting for us at the entrance.

"We already have your tickets." Culpo smiled. "You look lovely." Culpo tried to kiss me but I gave him my cheek. I could feel his slime trickling down my skin. Culpo just chuckled and placed an arm around my shoulder as he led me onto the grounds. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Ts'aan trying to do the same thing with Miharu but my best friend grabbed his hand and crushed it under her grasp. Ts'aan removed his arm from her shoulders. Our dreadful date had started.

It had only been an hour and I still wasn't having any fun. I wasn't supposed to in my eyes. Miharu and Ts'aan had gone their own way. Ts'aan said something about wanting to get her a stuffed animal and Miharu said something about not wanting anything stuffed and fluffy. Several times Culpo tried to take my hand but I would move it away. Culpo would just smile. Eventually, he tried again and I placed my hand in my pockets. Culpo sighed and turned his head in my direction.

"Alright, tell me what's wrong?" He asked as if we were dating again. Like anything he could say would make me feel better. Well that was then and this was now. I hated being at the carnival with him. I hated being in his presence.

"You trick my friends into a game of basketball. You bet me like I'm some kind of trophy to win and, yet, you ask me what's wrong." I kept walking not even caring where I was going or where I was headed. I just wanted to be away from Culpo. A hand grabbed my arm and I turned to slap him but Culpo caught my arm.

"Still slow," Culpo sighed. "Come on, let's go to the Merry-go-Round. That always made you feel better." Culpo took my hand and guided me to the ride that I had, unknowingly, walked up to. Culpo chose the love seat, as he always did, and made me sit down. The entire ride I felt as if we were being watched.

POV: Gokudera

We weren't there five seconds before that jerk was putting the moves on Sayomi. Ryohei tried to jump out of the bushes and blow our cover. I had to hold him back and calm him down. "He touched her!" Ryohei tried to yell but I covered his mouth.

"Will you stop, you moron! You'll blow our cover. The girls don't know we're here!" I turned back to Miharu. The pointy-head freak was trying to wrap his arm around her shoulder. "Why that little-" I tried to jump out and blow him up but Ryohei stopped me.

"Oi, we have to keep our cover." I hated to admit it but he was right. We had to stay hidden. The date continued and the Turf head and I tried our best to stay hidden. But it was harder than it looked.

At one point during the date, Ryohei and I had to go our separate ways because Miharu went one way with her date while Sayomi went in another direction with hers. I followed Miharu. Ts'aan was a shifting character and I didn't trust him one bit.

"I know what will cheer you up. A stuffed animal." Ts'aan smiled, thinking he was right. Miharu and I happened to shake our heads on the same time. Miharu wasn't like any of the girls. She would have hated a stuffed animal.

"I hate stuffed animals." She muttered.

"Nonsense. Let's get you one." Ts'aan tried to smile and dragged her to a shooting booth. I didn't like him but I had an idea. As smooth as I could, I went behind the booth and worked my magic. If it went according to plan, Ts'aan wouldn't be able to knock down anything. I moved to where I could get a better view. Ts'aan gave the man at the booth a ticket and took the gun. Miharu looked around, clearly not interested in watching Ts'aan fail.

Ts'aan pulled the gun up to his cheek. I could barely keep my laughter in. He fired the gun and I nearly fainted from the shock. Not only did my plan back fire, Ts'aan was able to knock down every single target. WITH ONE SHOT! The guy at the booth blinked at the amazement of what had taken place. He handed Ts'aan the biggest stuffed animal and he handed it to Miharu. She took it by the ear and allowed the animal to be dragged all over the place. The stuffed animal began to collect as much dirt as it possible could. I had no choice but to continue to follow.

I could tell Miharu wanted to go home. She wasn't happy being on a date with Ts'aan. Who wouldn't be? The jerk didn't want to listen to anything she had to say. He talked about himself the whole time. I was as sick as Miharu. He took her to the Ferris wheel and practically forced her to sit. I wanted to throw some dynamite at him but I might hit Miharu. It was easier to hide as they walked around but it was harder while they were on the Ferris wheel.

The wheel began to turn slowly. Several times it stopped so people could get on and off. I pulled out a pair of binoculars and zoomed in on them. Ts'aan mumbled something in her ear but she pushed him aside. I could tell she was trying to hold herself back in punching him. Ts'aan leaned in closer and closer. Finally, his lips touched her. My heart leapt out of my chest. He KISSED her. I want to-

I picked the binoculars back up. Miharu pulled her fist back and pushed it forward until her fist made contact with Ts'aan's face.

"DON'T YOU EVER KISS ME AGAIN!" Miharu screamed. She climbed her way out of the bars. One of the men at the bottom tried yelling at her to sit down. Miharu wasn't listening. She jumped out of the box and jumped onto one pole after the other until her feet finally touched the ground. The dirty stuffed animal still clutched in her hand.

"Wow," I sighed. Miharu swung around and I realized I had been caught. I was standing out in the open now.

"What are you doing here?" Miharu asked.

"I-uh-" I had to think fast. I tried to think of something like the Tenth had ordered me to come but that was a lie. I could never do that to the Tenth. Thankfully, Miharu stopped me before I could finish.

"Do you know of any good places with a big fire that I can toss this into?" She asked holding up the stuffed animal. I smiled.

"Yeah, I know just the place."

POV: Ryohei

While Gokudera went to follow Miharu, I continued to follow Sayomi and Culpo. I hated Culpo. He continually tried to hold Sayomi's hand but she continued to move her head out of the way. I wanted to punch him to the extreme! But I had to stay hidden. I could stay hidden for hours without getting caught.

Culpo led Sayomi to one of the love seats. He placed his arm on the back of the seat and placed it behind her head. I could tell to the extreme that Sayomi was uncomfortable. Culpo moved in closer and closer. I wasn't going to do it. I wanted to punch him right then and there to the extreme but Octopus head said we had stay low and hidden. Culpo moved in closer. His lips pursed out. That was the last straw to the extreme!

POV: Sayomi

Culpo moved his lips closer to mine. I didn't want this. I didn't want this date. I didn't want him and I surely did not want him kissing me. I closed my eyes and waited. But something, or should I say someone, stopped Culpo.

"STOP KISSING HER TO THE EXTREME!" Out of nowhere, Ryohei jumped up and continuously punched Culpo in the face.

"Ryohei!" I screamed. "Stop! He's had enough!" Ryohei stopped and turned me. He seemed a little proud of what he had done. Culpo stood back up and wiped blood from his nose.

"You're going to pay for that!" Culpo gritted through his teeth.

"Bring it on! I'll beat you to the ground to the extreme!" Ryohei tried again for another punch but I placed my hand on his arm.

"Don't." I begged. I didn't want them to fight. It wasn't for Culpo's sake. It was for Ryohei's. Ryohei barely had any training. He was stubborn and determined but Culpo was strong. I feared for Ryohei. "Let's just go home."

"What about our date?" Culpo asked.

"What about it?" I asked. "As far as I'm concerned, it's over. Goodnight, Culpo. Come on, Ryohei." I took Ryohei's hand and the two of us began to walk home. Neither one of us said anything for a long while. We were about half way to my house before Ryohei finally said something.

"I could have beaten him to the extreme!" Ryohei pounded his fists together but I just smiled.

"No," I told him, "You still need training. Don't worry. You'll get your chance." Ryohei just grunted. I could tell he wanted to fight. In was in his nature. In a way, he was like someone else I knew. "You know," I smiled trying to change the subject, "you remind me a lot of my father. When I was eight, my mom left so my father was left to raise me and my sisters. You're just like him. He loves to fight. That's why my sisters and I are so good at it. He always made time for us."

"Maybe someday your father and I can fight." Ryohei rested his hands behind his head as he was lost in thought. I smiled. My father would win but it would be interesting to see the two of them go at it.

"Yeah," I smiled. "Maybe." We stopped and I pointed up at a small building. It wasn't much but it was big enough for me and Miharu. "Well," I looked up at the building. "This is me." I sighed and turned to Ryohei. For a moment, I thought I saw something in him that was different. That wasn't "extreme" or that wasn't a look like he wanted to fight. It was just different. He and I just looked at each other. I just chuckled and kissed his cheek. "Thanks for today, Ryohei." I walked through the gate and headed upstairs.

"So," A familiar voice said as I walked through the door. I turned and smiled at Miharu sitting in her chair. A seared and charcoal black blob rested right by her feet. "How was your night?"

"Fine. What's that?" I asked, pointing to the black blog.

"Oh this?" She picked up the blog and brought it to me as I could see it better. "This is the stuffed animal Ts'aan won for even after I told him I didn't want one. Gokudera took me to this great place with a big fire." I imagined him taking her to some incinerator of some kind from some factory. "And the animal just slipped into the fire." Miharu shrugged. "I thought Ts'aan might want it back." She smiled and tossed the blog over her shoulder.

"Good idea." I told her. The day started horrible but it ended not as bad as I thought.
