Omake: Limited Edition

After having their appetites sated, Yamamoto decided that they should take a walk around Namimori Central.

"For digestion!" he had said, so Tsuna agreed to it. Well, she would have agreed to anything, anyway. So off they went along the rather busy street, considering that it was Sunday.

Along the way, Yamamoto found himself fascinated by pens with a bobbing dog head on top, and without much thought, bought it. Tsuna smiled awkwardly at him as he played with it, bobbing the head up and down. It was as if he had the mentality of a five year old!

Then, they stopped by a sports shop. He looked on in interest before going in. Tsuna saw that he immediately headed for the baseball section.

"You like baseball, Yamamoto-san?"

"Yep!" he replied quite enthusiastically as he took a look at the bats that were put up on display.

"Oooh, this one look pretty good," he said, picking a bat up. The pair stayed in the shop for a brief moment before they set out again.

Their next stop was the Namimori bookstore. Quite a few books remained printed in paper, though rapid modernization had digitized many others for convenient pay-and-download books on their electronic devices decades ago. Simply because people still treasured the ability to collect these objects and read it unhurriedly; because books held a sort of novelty that digital books would never be able to have – which was why there were still existent bookstores around.

Tsuna felt a jolt of realization shoot her as she passed.

I forgot! The limited edition print version of J**J** R*******a is out today! If I don't get it soon…It'll run out of stock! She thought in despair. She looked at Yamamoto, then to the entrance of the bookstore. The book was on the upper floor in the "Adult Manga" section – and even worse, under the huge tag of "Yaoi". How was she going to ever live a day after that if Yamamoto found out about her hobbies? Reborn was the only other person on earth who knew of this (he was trying to refrain from commenting about it – but it was good blackmail material, he thought), and Tsuna was determined to let it remain that way.

Then, in a stroke of luck –

"Hey! A taiyaki stand! I'd really love some!" Yamamoto said, pointing to the stand at the corner.

"Ah! Really? Why don't you go get some? I'll just pop into this bookstore!"

"Mmm? Okay."

Tsuna breathed out heavily in relief. When she made sure that Yamamoto was walking towards the stand, she charged into the bookstore. Just as she was making her way up the stairs, she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Hieek!" she turned around immediately to see Yamamoto.

"Yo! Found the book yet?"

"N-No! Besides, did you manage to get your taiyaki?"

"Not at all. Some sorry looking boy covered in bandages went up and bought all that the seller had left. I guess that taiyaki is really good, to be sold out by afternoon. Gotta try it one day!" he said.

Uuuu…how am I going to make it out of this? I'm never going to get the manga at this rate!

"Oh!" Yamamoto suddenly said. "I need to go to the toilet for awhile, so just get your book!"

"Okay!" Tsuna answered a little too happily. Yamamoto looked at her strangely, and then walked back down the stairs.

She then continued on her expedition to the adult section.

"I can see it!" She cried when she reached the end. It was a small room filled with books and a self checkout counter at the side. Tsuna lunged for the book as she approached it, picking it up with a victorious cry.

"GET! Lucky! This was the last one in stock too…"

And then, the all too ominous finger tapping on her shoulder. Out of shock, Tsuna dropped the book.

"Ahah, the toilet was closed for maintenance, so I came back. Gotten your book?"

Tsuna cranked her head back slowly. Yamamoto was still standing behind her, smiling obliviously. He had quite obviously missed the point that the upper level of the shop was the adult section.

"N-N-N-N…" Tsuna stuttered as she tried to hide the book. Only, there was no book to hide. Turning around, she saw that the rack was empty. To the side, she saw a happy lady clutching the final book, walking away with a light hop.

Noooooo!

"Hm?"

"Never mind…"

She moaned, resigned. They walked out of the store with a blissfully unaware Yamamoto and a rather depressed Tsuna dragging her feet along.

A/N:...

I'm not a yaoi fangirl.

...

I swear.

(Sidenote 1: Looks like my modern world isn't that modernized. But I believe in it...because I still have something in mind.

Sidenote 2: Be a loud and proud yaoi fangirl, Tsuna!)
