Chapter 7: Friendship is like peeing on yourself

Thanks to all readers and especially jrlrock, ausumist, KuroMimi-chan, xxx BlackDarkAce xxx, LaCremeLaVanille and SunBun for reviewing! :D

WARNING: extremely short and random chap. HORHOR. MUH SPOOON IS TOO BIG.

Spoiler?: Oh hey Bianchi's ex Romeo is like actually dead. Like forrealzzzz. :|

The stairs. The toughest part. I wondered how we were ever going to overcome this horrible, horrible predicament.

"Well," I began, "How about we crawl up the stairs like dogs? Don't worry, it won't be embarrassing cause I'll do it with you!"

"Eh.." The blonde foreign looked at me strangely. Seems to me like he doesn't realize the fact that he's a real clumsy doof. He probably couldn't even withstand five steps onto that stairway to hell.

"Look..uhm.." I didn't know how to put it to him! I can't look at him in the eyes, eurgh!

"Excuse miss? Are we heading this way then?" The man had one leg resting on the first step towards the school rooftop.

"Health insurance?" I leaned in closer. My head only reached his chest.

"Eh?" He stepped away from the stairs and looked down at me.

"Like you know…" I scratched my head, "I mean in case something happens to you… your family might be able to claim some money right?"

The blonde chuckled, "I have no idea what you're talking about"

"Don't be selfish!" I blurted out, "Think about your wife and children at home, what if you get involved in an accident? What are they gonna do?"

"Wife? Actually I'm single, I guess you could say I'm 'married' to my men" He giggled.

"So you're.." I mentally slapped myself, "Wait! men? MEN? Like more than one?"

"Wait HUH? That's not what I meant –!" He shook his head frantically.

"Why are you two trespassing school property?" The familiar voice of our friendly neighbourhood prefect echoed through the halls.

"Hibari!" I felt relieved knowing we didn't have to take the stairs to find him. That'll save the blonde guy a few extras days of his life…

"Hmm, so that's Hibari Kyouya then?" The man looked at the figure standing before us then back at me.

"Yup, he may look young but you'd be wrong. Like last time I saw him watering his garden."

"NO WAY!" The man jumped back.

"YES WAY! WITH NOT A HOSE BUT A WATERING CAN! And this other time he –"

"Who are you" Hibari was probably pretended I didn't exist.

"My name is Dino Cavallone" The foreign stretched out a hand towards Hibari who in turn, slapped it away with his tonfa.

"Rudeeee" I commented in an annoying manner, earning myself a nasty glare from the prefect.

"Hahah.." Dino, whose name sounded awfully familiar, laughed it off, "They did tell me you were a stubborn one."

"What do you want?" Hibari looked like he was about to kick some ass.

"I'm here to tutor you in preparation for the ring battles. You're one of Tsuna's guardians after all."

"T-TSUNA? SAWADA TSUNAYOSHI?" I leaped back with the back of my hand covering my mouth. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! The world is so small.

"Yes he's my little brother, you know him too?" Dino seemed surprised by the little muse too.

"Yeah! HE'S LIKE MY BFFL DUDEEE!" (Self proclaimed, but I pretended all was well), "YOU'RE FROM THE MAFIA TOO AREN'T YOU?"

"Eh, Tsuna's told you about the mafia? He must trust you then" Dino looked down at me with interest, "What's your name?"

"Watanabe Yoko" I replied, "And apparently I'm a part of his mafia family too, but I haven't heard about all this guardian stuff."

"I'll explain that once I manage to convince my student over there" Dino reassured, glancing at Hibari who stared at us face full of boredom. Sif' the mafia wasn't interesting!

…

I was planning to consult Tsuna regarding what Dino had told me that day but to my disappointment, the brunette had skipped school. So had baseball idiot and Hayato. School felt awfully empty without the three boys roaming around its halls.

"Can I watch you two brawl please" I sat down at a shady spot, unpacking my bento and already expecting a yes.

"You can stay with Romario" Dino responded with a small smile before heading off towards an impatient Hibari. Ever since Romario came around, Dino seemed surprisingly more…efficient.

"Is this what they call training?" I snorted before taking another bite of my onigiri.

"Hahah" The old man sat down beside me, "Boss couldn't find any other solution"

"Well it is Hibari" I offered Romario some of my food.

"It amazes me, how much that boy loves to fight" The man took the onigiri and looked at it weirdly, unsure of how he should eat it.

"Pfft" I grunted, "Blame the mass media! See what they're doing to the kids these days? FOX? More like FAUX!"

"What do you mean?" Romario peeled the strip of seaweed off the onigiri and chucked it into his mouth.

"WELL!" I began, putting on my sophisticated voice, "The media's all about violence, sex and drugs nowadays! I mean take a look at the teletubbies, those things are on drugs for sure."

"OOOH!" The right hand man nodded his head in approval, "We have those back in Italy too!"

"NO WAY! Italian Teletubbies?" I gasped

"Yes my grandchildren are big fa –" Romario was briefly cut off by the wall beside us collapsing.

"Holy…" I held my onigiri close to my chest, protecting it from the dust.

"Ah crap" Dino came running towards us, a whip in his hand "Sorry guys, Hibari just had to dodge"

"You uh.." I stared at the weapon, "you made a wall collapse with a whip."

Dino scratched his head, "Yeah I got a bit carried away hahahah.."

…

I stopped at Tsuna's house and rang the doorbell. A few unrecognizable words and loud banging noises were heard before Tsuna came to greet me at the doorstep.

"Yoko-chan!" He ushered me in, "Uhm about school today…"

"Tsuna, Dino told me about the ring battles" I told him, putting on a pair of slippers.

"Eh…you met Dino?" The boy seemed surprised.

I nodded in response, "Top assassins from the Vongola huh?"

"Yeah.." He looked down, "They're really strong. We're being tutored now, that's why we couldn't come to school."

"Dino said" I began, "That you guys might die"

Tsuna looked at me with a grim expression before inclining with a small nod of his head.

I held back a frown "Don't worry, if you die I'll avenge you"

"That's very comforting…" He sweat dropped.

I looked around my surroundings before heading towards the steps, "Lambo's in your room right? I needa give him these grape lollies I promised" I held up the pack of goodies.

"Yeah, Gokudera kun's here too" Tsuna led me up stairs.

"Who are your guardians?" I asked, looking up at his back.

"Yamamoto, Gokudera, Ryohei-nii, Lambo and Hibari" He responded, "I still don't know who the mist guardian is…"

"LAMBO?" I pretty much leapt up the last step, "BUT HE'S LIKE FIVE YEARS OLD!"

Tsuna sighed, "I'm hoping he doesn't have to fight"

"Man that is so fucked up" I followed him into his room, only to be greeted by Lambo's snatching of the lollies.

"BAHAHAH! MY SLAVE YOKO HAS COME TO BRING ME MY DESERT!" He dug into the packet and stuffed a handful of sweets down his mouth.

Hayato looked up away from the book in front of him, "Yoko?"

"Yo" I grinned at the boy before squatting on my knees and pinching Lambo's cheeks. "Don't I at least deserve a thank you?"

Lambo gulped down the remains of the package, "LAMBO SAN DOESN'T NEED TO GIVE THANKS TO HIS SLAVE!"

"Oi stupid cow!" Hayato held the boy up by his hair, "Learn some manners!"

"G-gokudera kun!" Tsuna looked at the two alarmingly.

I pulled at the tako-head's sleeve, "Now, now put the kid down Hayato, violence will get you nowhere."

"YA, AHODERA, LEMME GO!" Lambo screamed and kicked.

"Che" The smoker grunted before casually tossing the kid away. Lambo ended up crying and bolting out the door.

"I could never imagine you as a father" I told Hayato as I sat down beside him on the table. Tsuna shivered before joining us.

"Pfft, I hate kids anyway" He retorted.

"You do realise" I began, "that you were once a kid too, right Hayato?"

Hayato smirked, "I was a cool kid"

This time Tsuna and I both shivered.

"What's wrong? Are you cold Jyuudaime?" Hayato practically crawled towards his boss to get a closer look, "Pamadol?"

I coughed, "ANYWAAAYY, where are you guys training?"

"Mountains" Hayato very casually replied, as though it was perfectly normal and part of every day life.

"Erh..like meditating under a waterfall?" I stroked an invisible beard.

"Hey I think I've done that before.." Tsuna glanced at Reborn who was sleeping, eyes open.

"Whoa so hardcore Tsuna! How did it feel like?"

"You're getting off topic" Hayato hit my head softly in slow mo. I was about to give him one of my deadly pinches but was interrupted by Tsuna.

"Yoko chan, how is the uhm..family thing going?"

"Oh, well my dad's living with me now. Besides that there hasn't been any other change"

"That's good" Tsuna let out a sigh of relief, "Always keep your mobile with you, so if anything happens, give us a speed dial."

"Awww.." I looked at the two boys with compassion before pouncing onto them, "You guys~! Have my babies!"
