The Poison Lady
It was an ordinary day for our dear little twins, the two silently walk to the place they and their friends agree to meet. As they neared the fork road headed to Nimamori School, they already saw Hana Kurosawa, Kyoko Sasegawa, Yamamoto Takeshi, and Gokudera Hayato waiting for their arrival.
"Ohayo Hana-chan, Kyoko-chan, Yamamoto-kun, Gokudera-kun!" Tsuya greeted running ahead of her brother and stop in front of the girls.
Tsuna can't help but smile, it seems that Tsuya is becoming more outgoing than before, since the day Tsuna have saved Takeshi, he hang out with them already. And it became their habit to meet up in the fork road and walk together. Of course sometimes Hayato would arrive in their house and walk with our dear little twins.
"Ohayo Tsuya-chan/Principessa" Kyoko, Takeshi, Hayato, and Hana greeted with a smile, "Ohayo Tsuna-kun/Sawada/Tsuna/Juudaime" they greeted to Tsuna as he was already near them.
"Ohayo minna" Tsuna greeted with a smile.
The 6 youngsters begin their journey to school, the girls had walk a few steps ahead from the boys since they are talking about girls stuff, while the boys are noisy themselves with Gokudera having a one sided argument against Yamamoto.
"YOU IDIOT! THAT'S IT I'M GOING TO BLOW YOU UP RIGHT NOW!" Gokudera screamed at Yamamoto pulling out his dynamites
Yamamoto just laugh, "Isn't it too early to light up fireworks Gokudera?"
"WHY YOU-"
"Gokudera please calm down and put those dynamites away," Tsuna said trying to calm the bomber, before he could do harm to their new friend.
"If you say so Juudaime," and as quick as he got the dynamites out, he easily put them away.
The cycle continued through their journey to school.
"They sure are lively," Kyoko commented with a smile, Tsuya can only laugh nervously.
"Boys are so immature," Hana commented frankly.
"Speaking of boys," the two girls look at Kyoko who looks like thinking about something, "ne, Hana-chan, Tsuya-chan, what do you think is your ideal boyfriend?"
"Mature Boys," Hana said without any hesitation, "I want boys older than me those are my type,"
'As expected from Hana-chan' Tsuya thought as she sweat drop. Hana gives off a mature aura, so she kinda expected that type of answer from the girl.
"How about you Kyoko?" Hana ask the girl
"Actually I don't care if the boy is older than me or younger as long as he loves me for who I am and I guess a little bit energetic like my onii-sama," Kyoko answered with a smile, "How about you Tsuya-chan?"
The two girls look at the girl in the middle, their gazes made Tsuya a little bit nervous not only that but also because of the topic, a flash of memory about a boy his back towards her flash through her mind.
"Tsuya-chan?" she was snap into reality when Kyoko called her, she found Kyoko's worry gaze.
'I guess I spaced out again' Tsuya thought sadly
"Are you ok?" Kyoko ask worry in her voice.
"I'm ok, I was just thinking of something," Tsuya lied
"So, back to the question," Hana said quickly, "What type of boys do you like Tsuya-chan?" she said grinning like Cheshire that made Tsuya blushed
"I- I guess somebody like big brother…" she said shyly.
"Well I guess you're right," Hana said, "Tsuna does portray an ideal boyfriend, he is mature and intelligent, he is not bad in the looks department also. And also he possessed a characteristic of gentlemen."
Kyoko nod also in agreement.
'Ideal boyfriend huh? I wonder if they would still consider big brother as in ideal boyfriend if they found out that he is a boss of one of the most powerful mafia famiglia in Italy' Tsuya thought nervously.
The two girl continue their talk about Tsuna's good points when a woman in a bike suddenly halted in front of them.
"Here you can have this," the mysterious woman threw a can of soda towards to Tsuya, who luckily caught it. Before Tsuya could thank the woman, she already left.
"What was that all about?" Hana said a little bit suspicious about the whole thing.
"Must be your lucky day Tsuya-chan," Kyoko smiled
"I-I wish so," Tsuya blushed shyly.
Tsuna who saw the whole thing felt suspicious, the woman reminds him of someone he knew, 'But that's impossible, Reborn said she was away in a mission and won't be returning anytime soon. '
"-daime, Juudaime…"
"Ah gomen Gokudera-kun, I was thinking about something," Tsuna apologize laughing half nervously.
"Are you ok Tsuna?" Takeshi asked worry laced in his voice, this gave Tsuna an idea.
"Yeah I'm ok, but I'm a little peachy at the moment, I could use something to drink." He lied effortless, growing up in a place full of liars and masters of deception, he can lie to anyone and not get detected and he can even pass a lie detector test despite lying.
"Then, I'll go buy you drinks juudaime…"
"There's no need Gokudera-kun" Tsuya stopped Gokudera before he could run off somewhere, she heard what her brother said, "You can have this onii-sama, demo gomenosai, I already open it."
"Nah, it's ok" Tsuna smiled as Tsuya hand over the soda that she receive from the strange lady to Tsuna. Tsuna purposely drop the soda to make it look like an accident.
"Ah gomen Tsuya," Tsuna feign to regret his action, "I don't know what's wrong with me, I'll just buy you another drink if it's ok for you?" he assured Tsuya as if he did not really mean what he had done.
"Don't worry about it big brother," Tsuya assured him with a worried smile, "But are you really sure that your ok?"
"Yeah, I guess I was just out of it today. But I do regret spilling your drink Tsuya-chan, as a compensation I will buy you a new one at lunch. But for now I think it's best if we all hurry up because if my calculation is correct, we only got 5 minutes before the first bell rings."
All of them quickly look at their watch and Tsuna was right, they all started running towards school. Tsuna look behind him where the spilled soda is located and as much as he hated it that he was right this time in his suspicion. The soda is emitting purple gas, when everyone was out of sight, crows started to drop from the sky, poisoned.
Tsuya and her friends were lucky enough to arrive the school before the bell rang, she, Hana, and Kyoko were already out of breath while boys looks like the run was nothing at all. They all headed to their sits as the class begun.
Time skip= lunch time
Tsuya sigh, finally it's already lunch time.
"Tsuya-chan!"
She perk up and look at the direction of the voice, she saw Kyoko and Hana already waiting for her by the door. After securing that all her things are intact, she took her bento out of her bag and walk to Kyoko, Hana.
"Gomen I was spacing a little bit," she laugh nervously.
"It's ok," Kyoko smiled kindly, "Let's go?"
The girl smiled, before they could leave. A voice called out to them, they turned to see the boys walking towards the girls.
"Do you mind we join you guys for lunch?" Tsuna ask politely to the girls, the girls were surprise of Tsuna's sudden question.
"Ofcourse we don't mind you joining us Tsuna," Hana answered for the girls, being the first one to over come their surprise, "But why the sudden decision Tsuna?"
"I thought that it had been a long time since we eat lunch together, sure we walk home together, but for a change, why don't we eat lunch together?"
Hana was clearly not satisfied with Tsuna's explanation but did not anymore question. Tsuya on the other hand was curious, what was in her brother's mind. Since the day, Yamamoto join their group, which happen a couple of weeks ago, the boys and girls rarely have lunch together. The boys would usually stay in the rooftop while the girls find other places or stay in the classroom.
"Why don't we have lunch at the rooftop then," Kyoko who is the only person not suspicious of the sudden turn of events, proposed, "The weather is great today, it would be nice to eat at the rooftop today."
The 5 youngsters agreed and head out to the roof top. Tsuya can feel the annoying gazes of the female population of the girls towards her when she pass them, they wouldn't anymore dare to do it at front, not wanting to anger Gokudera some more. And the boys weird gazes, she still doesn't get what the gazes really means, she at first thought it was nothing, but even when she is not with Kyoko and Hana the gazes doesn't leave and intensify when her brother or Gokudera-kun or Yamamoto-kun are not around. She wants to ask Hana and Kyoko if they knew what the gazes means but was too embarrassed.
They sat in circle once they reached the rooftop and settled in. the sitting arrangement was, Tsuya's right is Tsuna, then Gokudera, Yamamoto, Hana, Kyoko, then Tsuya.
They all pulled out their lunch boxes, as Tsuya was opening her lunch box, Tsuna notices that a weird purple gas was emitting from the inside that was screaming death. Before Tsuya can open it, Tsuna knew he must act fast.
"Um, Tsuya do you mind we exchange lunch boxes?" Tsuna asked Tsuya with a smile
"Don't you guys usually have the same content in your lunch boxes?" Takeshi curiously ask the twins.
"Yeah, we do," Tsuna answered with a smiled, "But this time, I ask mom to add a little bit of salt in one of the onigiri than usual and also a little bit of spice in one of the curry."
"How did you know that Tsuya's lunch box is the one that had added stuff?" Hana ask Tsuna suspiciously
"When mom was putting those up, I actually saw which one of the bento she had put it, Tsuya and I must have accidentally grab the wrong bento when we were heading out."
"Is that so?" Hana look at Tsuna not buying the whole switch obento thing
"If juudaime said so, then that's it, why are you asking to much question crazy woman?"
"What did you just call me?" Hana glared at Gokudera, and the two started to fight, while Kyoko and Takeshi trying to calm both parties.
Tsuya sweat drop on the sudden turns of event,
"So, Tsu-chan, is it ok if we switch lunch boxes?" Tsuna look at her twin. The looks in her brothers face won't be able to make her to refuse, not like she refuse her brother to anything he will ask her to do.
Tsuya nod with a smile and they switched their lunch boxes.
Tsuna may still be calm and collected in the outside, but in the inside he is actually panicking, how the hell will he eat this horrible thing, he can't even open it. He can't accidentally drop it because that would already be suspicious. He sigh, he just wish he will be able to leave after eating the horrible thing in this so called lunch box.
"Look out Tsuna-kun!" Kyoko called out, but it's too late.
Yamamoto have already crush on him, sending his obento on the other side of the roof top, spilling it's content. Everyone was silent for awhile.
"Forgive me juudaime!" Hayato bowed banging his head on the floor, asking for forgiveness to Tsuna. "Apologize also you baseball-freak!"
"Ah, it's ok Gokudera-kun, no harm done," thank goodness, Tsuna added in his mind, he was actually glad for once, for Gokudera's quick temper.
"Ah, gomenosai Tsuna" Takeshi apologizes also
"No it's ok," he laugh merrily.
"Since, you don't have anything to eat for your lunch big brother, is it ok for you that we share my lunch?" Tsuya offered with a smile
"Thank you very much Tsu-chan," Tsuya smiled at her twin.
"You can also take some of my lunch juudaime" Gokudera offered.
"Mine too," Takeshi grinned at Tsuna.
"You can also take some of mine Tsuna-kun," Kyoko offered
"Since, I'm partially at fault here, get some of my lunch also Sawada," Hana said with a little smile
"Arigato minna,"
In the end everyone shared their lunch with each other and its' quite a fun lunch.
After everyone was done eating their lunch, there were so only 15 minutes before the bell rang, the girls excuses themselves as the boys headed already to their classroom.
"Eating lunch with the boys is really fun," Kyoko said as they walk to the girls rest room, Tsuya nod in agreement.
"It was fun, but that Gokudera is really annoying,"
While the two girls were talking, Tsuya was already zoning out, her mind drifted what happen that lunch time, Big brother would have evade when Yamamoto-kun fell towards him. But instead, it looks like he was thinking about something deeply.
Tsuya sigh, all this thinking was making her head hurt. She then realize that they are already in the girls rest room. Tsuya sigh, she was about to grab her handkerchief from her pocket, when she felt it was not there.
"What's wrong Tsuya-chan?" Kyoko ask the young girls
"My handkerchief, it's not here," the girl said upset as she double check her pocket and look around, "I must have drop it at the roof top, why don't you just go ahead in the classroom, I'll catch up."
Before the two girls can say anything, Tsuya already left them.
Tsuya knew she only have limited time to find her handkerchief before the first bell rang. She frenetically search for her handkerchief. It was special for her, because she personally designed the handkerchief herself. She sigh, as she search for it. Where could it be? I was sure I brought it with me, before leaving the classroom at lunch time.
She then notices that there is a violet gas, emitting in a certain area. Out of curiosity she decided to go near the area and investigate. She then realizes, this was the area where her brother's lunch spilled. As she go near, the smell gets more awful.
What the heck was in that lunch box? I'm pretty sure, this is not the smell of the lunch mama cook for us. Then, Tsuya realize something, that lunch box was originally hers, Is it possible that big brother lied about the adding of things to save me from eating the lunch box. What the heck is going on?
Tsuya felt that all of this is somehow connected to mafia, but she is not sure yet. But she will surely get the answer from a certain baby later. Tsuya look determine more to know the answer, she did not notice someone was also in the rooftop the same time, in the person's hand was a handkerchief with a T.S. initials.
