Well, I'm back with a new chapter for those who are still reading despite my total procrastination. I thank all who still read this~ This chapter is specifically for my friend Tessa who reminded me to update this. (I had no clue she was even reading it... ._.) I don't own KHR, Akira Amano does. I just own Chizune~ Enjoy~
Chizune ran out to the usual meeting place a good five minutes before school let out.
"Man... Maybe I shouldn't have come out so early... Now I have time to over-think again!" She whined to herself, but then slapped her cheek. "No! This time for sure! It doesn't matter if he doesn't like you like that! You can still be friends!" She assured herself, spinning around in a circle.
She plopped down on the ground and pulled out her i-pod. She didn't want to have her mind on depressing things so she flipped to some hyper techno music. She sighed happily as she remembered how the current song playing was playing in the first cafe she ever went to.
It was the greatest experience, to her. The livelyness of the whole place was exhilerating, the waitresses were cheery and dressed in pretty outfits, the pastries were to die for, and all of it just soaked into Chizune. It was then when she made her life career goal.
She had been so caught up in the music that she hadn't even noticed the school bell ring. She jumped when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Looking up, she saw Tsuna, chuckling a little at her shocked reaction. "Well, What was it you needed?" He asked, helping her up.
"Um... Well..." She started, but got caught and blushed a little. "I just um..." She tried to continue, but found it quite frustrating that the words wouldn't come out.
"Chizune-chan..." Tsuna said worriedly, grabbing her shoulder lightly. He was concerned that maybe something bad had happened.
"Tsuna... I... I really like you!" She said, finally, blushing twenty-seven shades of red. "I really, really like you!" She finished, and blushed even more.
Tsuna stood staring at her with a dumbstruck look. "C-chizune... Was this what has been bothering you the whole time?" He asked, a little unsure of what to say. "Because, you should have just told me sooner... I mean..."
Chizune looked up him, tearing up a little. 'Oh god... Here it comes... He's going to tell me that he doesn't feel about me the same way...' She thought, sadly. "Tsuna, if you don't like me...! P-please! Just tell me, okay?" She got quiet at the end.
"N-no! Chizune-chan, thats not it! I really..." He stopped and blushed, but tried to cover it. Still covering the blush, Tsuna started mumbling from behind his sleeve. "I really like you too, silly..." Chizune just barely heard him say it, but she got the most relieved look on her face.
"Tsuna-kun! R-really?!" She asked, running over and hugging him. Tsuna gasped at her hug and his blush intensified. "Y-yeah, really...!" He said, akwardly hugging her back. "Man, you made me think you had gotten into a bad situation or something..." He said, laughed a little.
"So! Tsuna's got himself a girlfriend! Extreme!" Chizune gasped and let go of Tsuna when she heard the boxer's voice from behind her. "R-ryohei-senpai!" She and Tsuna said, shocked at the same time. "Hey, that's great! I'm glad for you two!" He said, grinning and patted Tsuna on the shoulder.
"Ryohei-senpai..." Tsuna muttered and sighed, causing Ryohei and Chizune to laugh a little. She felt her phone vibrate and turned away from the two as she looked at it. It was a picture message from Yamamoto. "Huh..." She mumbled as shen opened it. She probably shouldn't have though, because she ended up screeching in shock at the picture. It was a picture of her and Tsuna HUGGING! The message at the bottom said; 'Thought you might want this moment for good keeping.'
'Oh god! Where is he...!" She looked around and saw someone in the distance giving her a thumbs up. When she squinted she saw it was the baseball maniac himself. "You're kidding..." She grumbled to herself.
Tsuna wandered over after Ryohei had finished tormenting him. "What is it? That was some scream..." He asked, peering over Chizune's shoulder at the picture, but she closed it before he could see anything. "It... was just Yamamoto-kun being... Well, Yamamoto-kun..." She said, turning to Tsuna. They both stared at eachother in silence for a little while, but then both started blushing again at the same time.
"Um... D-do you want to walk home with me?" Chizune asked, akwardly. Tsuna just nodded back, equally as awkward. 'Oh great... So much for it being less awkward...' The red-head thought with a sigh.
The next few days, it had been a little weird at first, but things had calmed down when Kyoko spotted them and congratulated them. Tsuna had been feeling a little down at first, remembering how he used to like her, but everything was cleared up when Kyoko gave them her blessings. Chizune had gone out with Kyoko and Haru a little after that and mentioned how she felt like somehow she was trapping Tsuna, but that was shot down by both the girls telling her that they hadn't seen him that happy in a while.
Hibari, of course, had his fun picking on them whenever he found time. (All the time, as time revolved his schedule, instead of vise versa.) Reborn had started training her, as 'a mafia-wife should be just as skilled as her husband'. Having showed a little skill with guns before, he started there.
"Wrong!" The tutor yelled smacking her on the head with a paper-fan Leon. "Uwah! What'd I do this time?!" She yelled back, rubbing her head while pouting. "You're holding it wrong again, you have to be able to pull it out and shoot it immeadiately!" He said, demonstrating the correct way with his shape-shifting lizard.
She sighed. "Fine, let me try again..." She said, putting the gun back in the hoster strapped to her leg. She had started just getting the grip right and slowly moved to pulling it out in a timely manner. Her final lesson for this part was being able to use one strapped to her leg efficiently.
"Go!" He said throwing a baseball in the air. In a matter of milliseconds, she had pulled out the gun and shot it to pieces. She breathed in relief, glad she hadn't missed that time. (Normally, when she got the stance right, she missed the ball and sometimes the other way around.)
"That was good, I think once you do it a few more times, you'll have it down." He said, looking over to Tsuna who was observing from the shade of some trees. "You're next, Dame-Tsuna." He grinned towards the boy. "W-what?! I thought it was just Chizune today!" Tsuna whined, pouting at Chizune.
"Come on Tsuna~ Its fun~" She danced around, but realizing the gun was still in her hand and she stopped. "Oops..." She mumbled laughing a little. Tsuna made a shocked face at her, she wanted him to train with her? Train with someone who'll dance around with a gun, recklessly? "Chizune-chan..." He sighed, smiling at her. "What are you going to do if you shoot someone in the foot?" He asked, letting Chizune think about it for a little bit.
"Well... If it were someone innocent or on the good side, I guess I'd freak out, apologize like crazy, and get them to a doctor? But if it was someone bad... I think I'd do it again... Maybe aim a little higher..." She mumbled at the end, getting an evil little smirk, that made Tsuna squeal.
(So there it is~ For everyone who was waiting for the confession~ And now Chizune is training~ And I'm pretty sure I want Mukuro to come back in at some point... And I still gotta lead onto who Yamamoto likes (yaoi warning). =3 And uh... Well, just thank Tessa for reminding me to work on this and getting my brain juices working~ Arrivederci~
