(The next chapter! If you missed anything in the last chapter, go back and read it again! I won't bite you to death if you do! I don't own KHR, Akira Amano does.)

The next period was pure insanity; she was mobbed by everyone asking what club she was going to join. She had some ideas but the leading one was the swim club. She loved to swim and if she joined, she'd get to spend more time in the water.

"So Chizune-chan, made up your mind yet?" She looked up at the girl apparently leading the large group of curious classmates behind her.

"Oh, Kyoko-san. Yes, I'm going to join the swim team." Some of the boys 'awwed' and the rest had thoughts of her in a swimsuit running through their perverted little minds. The girl who was the swim team captain met up with her later after class.

"I heard about you wanting to join. I'd love to have you on the team, but I have to ask if you can do the basic strokes." Chizune smiled a little.

"Yes, I already took a swim class back in America." The captain told her about the next meeting and ran off to class.

Chizune was about to cry at her misfortune, she had PE for her last period class. 'What a great way to end the day...' She thought with a sigh.

She didn't have to participate because it was her first day back and she had no PE clothes. She felt a little better, but she still had to sit in the bleachers under the hot sun while watching the kids run in circles around the track. She got a little sleepy in the sun and she started to doze off when all of a sudden the crack of a baseball hitting a bat sliced the air. Her eyes shot open and she saw a ball heading right at her! She quickly jumped out of the way and just stood trembling while staring at it.

Yamamoto ran up and saw her. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hit it that hard."

She was still shaking, but Yamamoto's smile just seemed to infect her and she couldn't help but smile back when she said; "It's alright... You must be on the baseball team. To hit that hard..."

He picked up and ball and patted her on the head. "Too bad you didn't have your clothes today; you look like you might be good at baseball." She shook her head with an outright rejection.

"No! No, no, no! I'm terrible at baseball! I'm only good at running to the bases!" He laughed and Gokudera ran up behind him.

"Hey! Are you bringing the ball back or what? Stop socializing so we can hurry up and get over with this inning!" Gokudera looked over at Chizune, waved, then grabbed Yamamoto and ran off.

I finally decided to sit down after a few seconds of silence and saw that the ball had left a large dent in the metal of the bleachers! "Jeez! That coulda killed me!" She shakily turned to look in the direction that they were playing baseball. She wasn't going to underestimate the power of a good batter...

Tsuna stayed towards the back of the line when his team was batting, hoping that they'd get three outs before he had to bat. Fortunately, the teacher ended the game and had them go shower. As he walked past the bleachers, he noticed Chizune again. She had sort of a scared look on her face. It made him want to start questioning her about what happened, but he wouldn't because talking like that with a complete stranger would be... awkward.

As if to answer his questions, Yamamoto ran up to her as she stepped down from the bleachers. "I'm really sorry about nearly hitting you!"

She shook her head. "No, its okay. I was dozing off anyway." Yamamoto spotted Tsuna and dragged Chizune over to him. In the process of her being dragged she tripped and skinned her knee on a rock. Yamamoto quickly turned around.

"Ah! I'm sorry! Are you okay?!"

Tsuna ran over as soon as she tripped. "Oh no! You're bleeding!" Chizune was okay with the injury until she looked down and saw all the blood flowing from her knee. She swooned a little and Yamamoto caught her.

"Chizune-san, are you okay?" She was looking more and more pale. Tsuna quickly recognized what was going on.

"I... think she's afraid of blood... We should get her to the nurse's office!"

There was no one in the office when they got there but Yamamoto layed her on the bed and quickly began digging through a cabinet for bandages. He had her knee all wrapped up in a matter of minutes.

Gokudera had showed up at some point too. Tsuna glanced at the clock on the wall. "Yamamoto! Baseball Practice!" Yamamoto looked at the clock then grabbed his baseball gear.

"Sorry Tsuna, I'll have to leave her with you." Tsuna just nodded as he ran out the door.

Gokudera walked over and sat in the nurse's chair. "Poor girl, she nearly gets killed by a baseball, then this..."

Chizune started waking up and she saw a rainbow out the window. 'Eh...? But it hasn't rained recently...' She thought as she sat up.

Compared to the rainbow, the nurse's office was very gray. Gokudera was lounging in the nurse's chair, napping and Tsuna was sitting on the end of the bed. Chizune started feeling bad.

"I'm sorry..." Tsuna looked up at her as she uttered the apology.

"I-its okay, I used to be afraid of blood too. I know how you feel."

As she cheered up, a small smile developed. "So you're Tsuna right?"

He nodded a little, trying to keep from blushing. 'Wow... she remembered my name...' He mused to himself.

Gokudera snorted a little before jolting awake. "Hey you're finally awake..." Chizune huffed up.

"Hey! It's not MY fault!" Gokudera glared at her.

"You're right; it's that Yamamoto's fault!" Chizune grabbed a pillow and chucked it at his face.

"It's not his, either! Stop blaming people!"

Tsuna stood back away from them as they argued. He was quite impressed with her fortitude. She WAS standing on the very leg that had bled a great deal, after all. "You guys! No one's to blame! It was an accident!"

Gokudera looked at him, clearly upset. "But Juudaime!" Chizune just smirked. "See, it WAS an accident!" Gokudera turned and glared at her even more intensely. She stuck her tongue out at him and they both turned away from each other in a huff.

Tsuna could already tell that he'd need a vacation with those two around. Chizune started hanging with them at school and she slowly opened up a little more, but she and Gokudera were too much the same and were always arguing over every little thing. The only difference between the two was that Chizune was much more fond of Yamamoto than Gokudera was.

The first inter-school swim meet was incredible, Chizune was at such ease in the water that you'd think she was a mermaid. She took home a second place ribbon in the freestyle category. Soon after, they actually DID go on a vacation. Chizune had won 6 tickets for a trip to an amusement park. She gave Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Kyoko, and Haru (who she had met while hanging out with Tsuna) the remaining 5 tickets.

(A/N: Woo! Vacation! Amusement Park! Will it be epic...? Or will Tsuna be... Tsuna? You'll see next chapter! Again, reviews and comments are appreciated! ~Teichi)
