Rumours… Rumours everywhere.
"Hey did you know Natsume had a brother?"
"Wahh! Really? Do you think he's as cool as Natsume is?"
"No! Natsume is the best of the best."
"You know he's going to transfer to our class today right?"
"Really!"
"I even heard that they're twins!"
"Omg fan girls," Tsuna thought as he walked down the school hallway. ", seriously. How can I do any missions if Reborn's gonna be watching me? I'll have to be extra discreet now."
Yesterday
"Sorry to intrude but whom are you?" Reborn asked.
"Ano, I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi." Tsuna meekly replied.
"Hnnn, well then Tsuna I'm only here to tutor your brother, I won't be of any inconvenience to you." Reborn smirked then went off upstairs to meet his student.
"Haaahhh," he sighed. ", Things just got so much more complicated."
Tsuna quickly dismissed his thoughts as he walked along the hallway towards his new class after finishing his registration at the front office. His brother pitied him enough to warn him about the school discipline committee leader, Hibari Kyouya. He got a quick glance of Hibari "disciplining" some of the crowding students in the hallway.
Ten minutes ago
"Looks like your just finding excuses to beat people up" Tsuna thought to himself.
A certain skylark spotted him.
"Natsume, it's against the schools policies to dye your hair. See me in my office after school today for your punishment."
Tsuna had his back to Hibari as he was finishing off the form. "Well we are twins and he can't see my face." Tsuna thought.
"Ano, sorry but he's my brother. I just transferred here today." Tsuna replied whilst turning around. Hibari's face tried to conceal his shock but Tsuna saw through it. "I have to go to class now."
"Students! Students settle down now, we have a new student. Introduce yourself." Said the teacher.
All eyes were on the door (except Natsume's) as a cute brunet walked into the classroom.
"WOW! He is his twin. Yet he's much more adorable!" Squeaked one girl.
"Look at his eyes! They're so large, he looks like a doe." Squealed another.
"And he has gorgeous brown hair unlike Natsume who has beautiful blond hair."
Tsuna sweat dropped. He hadn't been excepting this. Natsume just huffed. The boys on the other hand weren't as excited as the girls were.
"Ohh geez. I hope he isn't a jack-ass like Natsume."
"Bitch please, he's Natsume's brother. Of course he's gonna be as arrogant."
Unbeknownst to them, Tsuna was trying to think of a persona to go by. He reconsidered being a dame and just didn't want to go down that road once more. "I guess I'll just be the shy, quiet one." He thought. He braced himself. He couldn't overdo it and gain suspicion from Natsume or under do it and have the girls flock him.
"Ano hello everyone, my name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. Please take care of me."
Some girls just fainted while others were squealing, the boys were glad that this one wouldn't be annoying and Natsume huffed angrily again. All the while reborn was in one of his secret hiding places watching over Natsume. Tsuna noticed this.
"Tsunayoshi, there's something about you that makes me uneasy." Reborn thought.
While everyone in the class bombarded Tsuna with countless questions, two students stayed in their seats. Natsume and Yamamoto Takeshi. The latter had a serious face on.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi. Why does that name seem so familiar?" He thought. There was something about that name that made him feel so relaxed, so happy. He would just have to find out what.
"Everyone back to your seats," the teacher said. ", Tsunayoshi, please take a seat at any of the empty ones."
Many girls were encouraging him to sit next to them, as well as some boys. He was walking down the classroom when he nearly stopped walking.
This did not go unnoticed by Reborn. "Oh? Who is he looking at?" Reborn tried getting a better view, but Tsuna had already composed himself again.
This was definitely not what he was expecting. The same kid he saved and became best friends with nearly six years ago was sitting right in front of the seat he was originally going to. "Is it too late to turn around?" He thought when said person waved to him and beckoned him to take the seat behind him.
Yamamoto noticed the strange look he got from the new student so he put a cheery smile on and waved to him. 'Everyone falls for these. Better smile and wave' The new student Tsuna looked very… worried? Nah… he was just probably nervous. 'Well it is his first day here. Probably should show him around and what not.'
"Hi! My name's Yamamoto Takeshi," I used my best smile to seem as friendly as possible. ", Wanna hang out at lunch?"
"… Ano thank you very much for the invitation Yamamoto-san, but I was just planning on getting a better look around the school."
"Ahh, I'll show you around then."
Tsuna stiffened ever so slightly. It was so small that I nearly missed it. 'Ha! Nothing gets past my eyes. Not after everything he taught me.'
Tsuna went to sit in his seat. It was history and the sound of notes shuffling and the sound of a pen scribbling against the table seemed to occupy the seat behind him. To others it was nothing but to him, oh boy was it annoying. 'Wow, this kid likes to take a lot of notes.' They were sitting at the very back of the classroom so there were no complaints.
The bell rang.
'OMG… I'll just have to pray to god that he doesn't remember me.'I looked towards him smiling and waving at me. The expression on his face would've fooled me wasn't I hit-man. But I am, so I easily saw through the fake expression. 'Why are you forcing yourself Takeshi?'
"Hi! My name's Yamamoto Takeshi, wanna hang out at lunch?"
Ooo crap! What do I say!? I don't want to seem rude… remember! Shy and polite!
"… Ano thank you very much for the invitation Yamamoto-san, but I was just planning on getting a better look around the school."
"Ahh, I'll show you around then."
Crap. Just crap. Two reasons:
-One: I have to go around to entire school with him and not blow my cover.
-Two: I know I just stiffened, and according to my memories, he should've noticed.
I'm so screwed.
I went to sit down. It was history and not wanting to brag or anything but I already got my master's degree in psychology, physics and world history. So as you can imagine, I'M VERY BORED. To pass my time I just did some random doodling. According to the faint, very faint, annoyed aura that Takeshi was giving off. I think I'm doodling just a little too loud.
The bell rang.
'Hnnn, very interesting Tsuna.' I've got to be honest. Tsuna is just so much more interesting to observe than Natsume. But a job is a job. I have to whip that boy into Mafioso shape. Well better put use to my dying will bullets. I think I'll use it when lunch starts.
I left my hiding spot to start setting camera's up around the school for any emergencies. Also because I know Natsume liked one of the girls in his class. Time to find out whom.
The bell rang.
'hehe. Let the fun begin.'
The bell just rang, signifying that lunch had just begun. Two girls decided to walk-over to Yamamoto and Tsuna.
"Hello Yamamoto-kun, Tsuna-kun."Kyoko smiled.
"Hey Kyoko-chan, Hana-chan." Takeshi replied.
"Sup" Hana was just here for Kyoko.
"Tsuna-kun, my name is Sasagawa Kyoko and my friend here is Kurokawa Hana. It's very nice to meet you." She smiled again.
Tsuna let a smile come across his face. "It's nice to see that there are still genuinely innocent people." He thought.
"I was wondering, if you don't mind, if you would like to join Hana-chan and I to lunch. You too Yamamoto-kun."
"I don't mind. What about you Tsuna, do you still wanna tour the school? We could always go later."
"Well I guess making friends wouldn't hurt. Being trained to become a hit-man kinda leaves you socially awkward. Until I met Takeshi that is."
"Sure, why not?"
Meanwhile on the other side of the classroom.
"Hey I think Kyoko-chan is interested in the new boy."
"Ehh? Really! That's no fair! She gets all the cute guys."
"Guys that's because she's always top 3 in academics, pretty fit and she's also very nice."
"Yeah, at least there're other hots guys like Natsume-kun and Yamamoto-kun."
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"What was that?" Natsume thought. ", Kyoko, interested in dame-Tsuna? Pfft don't make me laugh. She would do so much better with me..."
He almost gawked at the sight. Hana, Yamamoto, Tsuna and Kyoko, were all eating lunch together. He hadn't confessed to her yet, but she would obviously like him right? I mean he has the looks, the body, the I.Q. Why would she be sitting with Tsuna out of everyone? I can understand Hana and Yamamoto but Tsuna really? Must've been because he's with Yamamoto.
"Kyoko-chan! Mochida-sempai wants to talk with you. He said to meet him on the baseball court." A girl announced.
"Him again? Geez maybe I'll have to knock some sense into him that Kyoko's NOT interested." Hana spat.
"Ahaha Hana-chan that isn't necessary, I'll just politely turn him down again."
"I'll go with you."
"No that isn't necessary, please stay and have lunch with the boys." with that Kyoko stood up and headed outside to the baseball court.
Natsume along with some other students followed. "How many times does this guy need to be rejected till he realised that she's meant for me!" Natsume thought angrily.
Kyoko was finally out on the baseball court. Many students crowded her.
"Hmph. I'll just jump down if anything fishy happens." Hana said. They all had a pretty clear view on the commotion going on down on the court.
"U-umm, Sasagawa K-Kyoko. W-will you please go out on a date with m-me?" Mochida asked twidling his fingers.
"Thank you for the invitation but I have to politely decline." She replied starting to walk off. This obviously ticked him off.
"Kyoko! I have asked you out like 20 times already! Why won't you give me a chance!?" He said while grabbing her arm. Kyoko gulped. Sure she was confessed to countless times before, but they were never violent with her.
"Hey someone go get her brother. He's in the boxing gym. Hurry!" Someone shouted.
Kyoko was starting to get scared. Maybe Hana should've come down with her.
"That fucking bastard," Natsume thought. ", How dare he even touch Kyoko-chan. I'll teach him a lesson." Resolve burned within his eyes.
"Hnnn. looks like it's time to shine dame-Natsu." Reborn thought. He shot the dying will bullet straight into Natsume's temple.
"REBORN! BEAT UP MOCHIDA WITH MY DYING WILL!" Reborn frowned. "Must pound into him that helping your comrades always comes first."
Tsuna instantly tensed when he heard Natsume yell. Yamamoto seemed to notice this.
"Hey guys I'll be right back. I've gotta go to the bathroom." Tsuna quickly headed out the room.
"Kay we'll be right her- OMG THAT BASTARD!"
"Pardon?" Yamamoto was confused, why the sudden curse?
"MOCHIDA IS GRABBING KYOKO'S ARM AND I NEED TO SAVE HER FROM THAT RAPIST!" She immediately jumped out the window, Yamamoto following suit. Who needs stairs when they can just jump out the second-storey window?
"MOCHIDA! LET GO OFF KYOKO-CHAN'S ARM RIGHT NOW AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES"
Everyone turned to face that voice.
"Uwah! It's Natsume"
"Maybe he's come to save her?"
"Of course idiot! That's what he just said!"
"He, and what are go gonna do about it shrimp?"
Natsume ran towards Mochida and landed the first fist right in the jaw, carefully making sure he didn't hit Kyoko. Mochida let go of his grip on Kyoko and she used this chance to run and call the discipline committee. Natsume stood there thinking he had just one-hit KO'd the 3rd year. Much to his surprise, Mochida stood back up and landed a good one right in the ribs.
"Ooomphh."
"Tch. Naïve Natsu." Reborn thought. ", You'll die if this is how you fight."
Natsume instantly recovered and proceeded to beat the shit out of Mochida.
"Hieee! Why isn't he stopping!?"
"Have mercy on the 3rd year. He's already on the ground!"
However Natsume took no heed and continued to beat up Mochida.
In the shadows were no one could see him (including reborn) was Nero Leone's best hit man. Ombra*.
"Naïve brother. You won't make it in this cruel world." He picked up a small stone and engulfed it in sky flames. "No need for bullets. This should knock him out." He swiftly threw the stone effectively hitting Natsume on his right temple and threw him out of DWM.
"What the?" Reborn thought. Someone had purposely intervened in the fight before he had a chance too. He noticed the small stone engulfed in sky flame slice through the air and hit Natsume straight in the temple where he shot his bullet. He tried finding the shooter but just missed him, only catching his shadow. "Tch"
Natsume, now out of the DWM, finally felt the full effect of the punch to the rib and collapsed unconscious.
"Urgghhh,"
",Holy crap. Why does my head and chest feel like its burning? This is so painful." Natsume grunted as he flipped over on the bed. Oh, how nice. He was at home on his comfy bed.
"Sit up Natsu. We need to discuss what happened earlier today."
"Wahh?"
"What happened earlier? All I remember was saving Kyoko from that bastard… and I was beating the shit out of him!" Natsume grinned. "It felt so good."
Reborn frowned once again.
"A boss should always help his comrades before fighting the enemy."
"What!? I did help Kyoko. I beat up Mochida so she could get away. It felt pretty good too."
"Yes you beat him up. You kept beating him up even though he was barely staying conscious, you could've killed him if the effects of the bullet hadn't…run out."
"BULLET!? You shot me with a bullet! I could've died!"
"What? Did you think you fought that fight by yourself? Don't get full of yourself Natsu, it'll be your greatest downfall," Reborn started walking towards the door of Natsume's room.
", Also don't forget to thank your brother. He volunteered to carry you home, making him miss some of his own class to-"
"WHAT," Reborn turned around. ", YOU LET DAME-TSUNA CARRY ME HOME!? I'M NOT THANKING HIM. THAT'S THE LEAST HE COULD'VE DONE FOR ME, besides how'd he even carry me? He's got no muscles and can barely walk without tripping on AIR."
"Brotherly competition? No… Natsume sincerely hates his brother, why?" Reborn thought.
That morning.
"Natsume! Let's walk to school toget-"
"No"
"What about showing me arou-"
"No"
"Um... What about-"
"Tsuna shut up. You're annoying me," Reborn was watching this from one of his hiding spots in the house.
", Look. When we're at school:
-don't talk to me
-don't look at me
-don't even walk near me.
And don't talk to my friends either. They'd probably annoy me later about how lame you are. School is my only relaxation place where I can enjoy my many fan girls and friends. You better not ruin it for me," Tsuna just looked down at the floor.
", Oh and just so Hibari doesn't start bugging me for things I didn't do, never come to school late. He'll think it's me because I've been cursed with a twin and pummel me to the ground. Got it?"
Tsuna just nodded while still looking at the ground. Natsume didn't even bother looking back, he just left for school.
"Tch. He's your brother Natsu. Your family. They always come first, no exceptions."
"Oi Natsu," said person turned around. ", get dressed and come downstairs. We're going out for some training. You've got five minutes."
