It was her first day in Namimori and Hermione had no time to take some rest. Reyna had decided that it was a good idea for her to train her in combat. She blocked her aunt's punch. Reyna smirked, it was good enough for an amateur but not good enough for her, she kicked her niece on the legs. The pain in her niece's eyes at what she just did made her raised her eyebrows at her.
"If this was real combat, you will be dead! Now start again!" Reyna shouted. Hermione glared at her aunt, before going back to her fighting position. The pain in her legs was too unbearable but, there was no use for her to complain. Reyna struck first, her hands curled into a fist. Hermione blocked the punch and kicked her aunt but, of course her aunt block it.
Hermione blocked her aunt's punch. She was about to kick her aunt but, to Hermione's surprise, Reyna smirked and kicked her. She blocked the kick, stupid for her not to realise that she left a opening. Hermione knew it wouldn't be long before her aunt would do the next attack. She gave her aunt a crescent kick, feeling slightly guilty for doing this but knew that she needed to know how to defend herself.
Reyna stumbled but, didn't fall down to the ground. Hermione frowned in disappointment, if this continues she will be late for her first day in school. It was then she notice blood coming out of her aunt's mouth. Hermione was about to apologise to her aunt but her aunt was coming to her full speed and attacking her.
Hermione dodged the kick and punched her aunt's left cheek. She was about to do a happy dance when Reyna kicked her. She fell down on the floor, wobbling back onto her feet to the amusement to her aunt.
"This is way better than just now." Reyna complimented. Hermione grinned but, soon the grin was wiped off her face when Reyna continued, "But you still have a lot of work to do!"
Reyna looked at the disappearing form of Hermione, worry shining in her eyes. She opened her mouth to speak, but fell silent not knowing how to tell to her niece about the cause of her parent's death. Hermione doesn't deserve to know her fate just yet.
Hermione swiftly made her way towards her new homeroom with her eyes plastered to the ground in hopes no one would notice her. She didn't need any distractions when she is in Japan. She stopped walking, only a few steps from entering the classroom. Reyna seemed to be training her to be a hitman or at least; Hermione felt that she was.
Maybe a life of crime would make her life seem less dull. Hermione grinned at the thought of a exciting life and pushed opened 1-A's homeroom when she heard the Teacher calling her out to introduce herself to the class.
"It's very nice to meet all of you," she bowed down, her waist-length hair falling to her side. Hermione faced everyone with a smile on her face, a small. "My name is Hermione Granger!"
While her new classmates gushed and awed away at her, one face in the crowd stood out. In that certain sea of faces, a particular face stood out from all the others. Beady black eyes and brown eyes stared at her, amazement, amusement and interest reflected in every orb...But his eyes were the most perceptive. They were green. All the shades of green she thought of pale in comparison to his eye colour. She suddenly have a flashback on the day after Hayato's birthday.
Hermione looked at Hayato, feeling worried for her best friend. He has been acting strange since his birthday yesterday and it was starting to make her feel anxious for him. Her mother seems to know what was wrong with him but, she wouldn't tell her. It wasn't fair Hermione decided, she deserve to know what had happened to cause her friend such sadness.
"Hayato, what's wrong?" Hermione asked. He didn't say anything to her, tears welling up in his eyes. She opened her mouth to speak but, falls silent at the look he threw at her.
She couldn't think of anything and did the only thing she could do; she cried with him. There was too much pain in her best friend's green eyes, tears started to fall even more harder as the two of them cried.
"Why are you even crying?" Hayato sobbed. Hermione sniffled, her brown eyes look at his green eyes.
"Well, if someone cries in front of me then I cry." Hermione told her best-friend. He blinked at her, he finally stopped crying when he heard her words and looked at her cluelessly as if he had never heard such a thing. She grinned at him, touching him in the back and shouting at him that he was it before running from him before he reacted.
Hermione snapped out of her thoughts, she gave one more small smile to the class. The teacher told her to take her seat besides Tsuna, she looked at him critically. He looks like a nice boy but, there was something about him that she can sense that was powerful. I got to keep an eye on him thought Hermione sending him a smile.
"Ah, yes. Granger-san will be needing a guide to help her get familiarized with the school," the teacher spoke, his gruff voice reaching across the class. "Sawada-san."
The doe-eyed boy was alerted and disoriented, Tsuna replied, "Y-Yes, sensei."
"Good! Granger-san is under your care now, Sawada-san."
Hermione briefly wondered if everything was on cue because at that moment, the school bell dings, the gentle reverberation distributed throughout the school halls. It was break time. Sawada-san turned back, she greeted him with a smile that was trying to convey the message that she wasn't going to hurt him. "Am I going to take my school tour now, Sawada-san?"
Her eyes turned to his friend that seems to be tensed with her presence. He scowled at her, causing Hermione to feel confused at what she did to him to cause him to be irritated with her.
The doe-eyed boy smiled uneasily at her as he got up from his seat. "H-Hai Granger-sa-"
"You can call me Hermione-chan, in England if you call someone by their last name then it either means that you are in trouble or the person doesn't like you." Hermione informed him.
The young boy nodded and asked her if she wanted to start the school tours now. She smiled at him and nodded, she needed to figure out the best places to hide if she was ever going to get into trouble here.
Hermione knew a pair green eyes were watching them as they left the classroom for their short school tour. She knew that the first order of business was to see if it was really Hayato or not and to find out the reason of him being here.
"Thank you for accompanying me, Sawada-san," said Hermione as Tsuna led her to the roof. They was no one in the roof and that was the way she liked it. "Namimori Middle School seems like a nice school."
"It is the total opposite of my old school." Hermione went on, remembering her aunt words when she told her that she was going to Namimori Middle School. "It feels so peaceful here."
"You can come out now!" Hermione called out. Tsuna looked at her in amazement as his friend came out of his hiding place, carrying a couple of dynamites and shielding his friend away from her. "Step back, Juudaime."
Hermione's eyes widen at what Gokudera said, this doe-eyed boy was the person that her aunt and her was suppose to protect. Well at least I know the tenth is a nice person thought Hermione, sighing at the dynamites in Gokudera's hands.
"G-Gokudera-kun! There's no need to-"
The sliver-haired boy looked down at her while she looked up at him. They stared at each other. She saw the recognition in his eyes as he realised who she was.
"You haven't changed one bit Hayato!" Hermione said to him softly, smiling at him. He scowled at her, his body was still tense and his eyes showed a flicker of shock and confusion. Hermione then turned to Tsuna before smiling at him wryly.
"So you are the boy that my aunt and I must protect? I got to say that I didn't imagine this." Hermione admitted. Gokudera looked at her in anger and seems ready to hurt her but, he must have sense that she didn't mean to insult his boss. Tsuna's eyes widen at her words, he looked at her in fear and was stepping a few steps back from her.
"Sawada-san, I don't know about you but, I don't want to get involve with this shit however I don't have a choice but, from what I can see if you can get Hayato to be very protective over you than I got to say you must be one good boss." Hermione told him giving him a smile.
Tsuna blushed at her words and stuttered, "Hermione-chan, I-I am n...not going to be..become the tenth!"
"I see. Well, then I will be protecting you till you are able to convince the ninth that you are not going to do it." Hermione told him. Tsuna looked at her in shock, surprise that she wasn't ignoring his words or telling him that he will accept it eventually, causing him to wonder who is the girl in front of him.
"Can we talk after school Hayato? I need to talk to you about something that I should have told you before I left." Hermione asked, turning her attention to the sliver-haired boy. He was under a state of shock at her words to Tsuna but, he was still able to give her nod.
"H-Hermione-chan, if you didn't want to get involve with the Mafia than what made you change your mind?" Tsuna stuttered. Hermione thought about his question thoughtfully, knowing that she can't tell about her Aunt being here without him telling that tutor of his and the last thing Hermione wanted was a pissed off Reyna.
"Sawada-san, my... let just say there was something that convinced me to get involved." Hermione told him. She nearly sipped out the fact that her aunt was here before Reyna meeting with Tsuna's tutor.
Hermione left the shock boys to go to their next lesson. She noticed that she was being watched by a prefect, Hermione shuddered at the blood-thirsty stare that he gave her. Guess she found out which person not to mess with.
She grinned to herself, walking to her class and thought that living in Namimori wouldn't be too bad.
