Chapter 5: The Zoo

Wade's POV

"Gyahaha! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up new boy! The almighty Lambo is waking you up!" I heard a voice… yelling.

"Lambo! No!" I heard another one, it sounded feminine.

"Gwaaahh!" I screamed as the two kids used my stomach as a landing area. I didn't scream because they used my stomach as a landing area but I screamed because there are two kids in front of me.

"Wade! What's wrong?!" I heard Tsuna's voice.

Oh yeah… I'm in the KHR world. I forgot. Still a lot to process…

"No. I'm fine." I said as I remembered what happened yesterday.

"Then why did you scream?" he asked.

"I just got startled when Lambo and I-pin woke me up." I replied.

"At least yours is Lambo and I-pin." Tsuna sighed.

"What did Reborn do?" I asked.

"Placed a snake in my bed while I'm sleeping," Tsuna sighs.

He's gone through a lot of crazy stuff. Which are inhuman and impossible to survive… that's anime for you.

"Well anyway, breakfast's ready and come eat with us." He grinned.

"I'll be there in a minute." I replied.

They left and I got up and made up the bed. I went downstairs and noticed their house is like in the anime. Although everything looked real, like my old world. I reached the kitchen and saw that they're all waiting for me.

"Good morning Wade!" maman greeted.

"Good morning maman, minna." I greeted back with a smile.

"You can sit in the open seat beside Tsu-kun." Maman said.

I grinned. I am going to sit next to one of my favorite characters in the KHR world.

I sat beside him and he grinned. I found myself grinning back. I really hope everything goes well for me in this world.

"Itadakimasu!" we all chorused and ate.

There were takoyaki, onigiri and more. I wonder if Maman wakes up so early to make this all.

Lambo and I were getting all the takoyaki. Then only one remained… we fought with our chopsticks! It made sounds like 'tick' and 'tack'.

"This one's mine!" Lambo said as our chopsticks hit one another.

"Fine, it's yours." I gave in because he's a kid. Lambo got the last one and ate it.

"Wade, you shouldn't have given the last takoyaki to him." Reborn said.

"It's fine, there's a ton of food anyway." I replied with a smile. I'm just happy because Lambo and I fought over one takoyaki. It's so funny.

I got a riceball and almost ate it until I realized it was purple in color and purple smoke was coming out of it.

"Wade, that's-" Tsuna was cut off.

"Lambo-san will get your riceball! Gyahaha!" Lambo took it from my hands and ate it.

Stupid cow! Don't eat it, Lambo! I even have a feeling that Tsuna and Reborn have the same thought.

"So how do you like it Lambo?" Bianchi asked.

Lambo froze as he realized he ate Bianchi's poison cooking. His stomach made a sound and he fainted.

"Lambo!" I got him and placed him in my arms.

"Kaa-san, where will we put him?!" Tsuna panicked.

"Just put him in the living room. Lambo must be really full from that riceball and takoyaki." Maman said with a smile.

No, he was poisoned! I sweat dropped as I brought him to living room and made him lay down.

"Sorry Lambo." I said.

"It's not your fault." Reborn sat on my shoulder.

"But-"

"The others are waiting outside." He cut me off.

"Huh?" Tsuna said.

"Your guardians and friends are waiting outside," Reborn grinned.

He's up to something. Reborn looked at me and nodded. Darn it! He can read minds!

"Maman, we'll be going out." Reborn lets her know.

"Okay, take care!" Maman waved goodbye.

"Let's go." Reborn ordered. Tsuna and I said goodbye to them and left.

Outside were his friends. Kyoko, Haru and… Chrome were there too. I smiled at the sight of her.

"Hahi! Who's that boy beside Tsuna?" Haru looked surprised.

"This is Wade he-"

"Wade is a friend of mine and he's staying at Tsuna's house until we can find a house for him to live in." Reborn cut Tsuna off.

"What Reborn said." Tsuna followed.

"It's nice to meet you Wade-san." Kyoko smiled.

"Nice to meet you too." I replied back with a smile as well.

"May I know your names?" I asked even though I already knew.

"Sasagawa Kyoko." Kyoko introduces herself.

"Miura Haru." Haru followed.

"Nice to meet you both." I smiled.

"Aren't you going to introduce yourself to him, Chrome-chan?" Kyoko asked.

"Well, we already introduced ourselves to each other." I replied smiling.

"What Wade-kun said." Chrome said, giving a shy smile. I couldn't help but slightly blush at how cute she looked at the moment.

"So where are we going, Reborn?" Tsuna asked.

"To the zoo." He replied.

"Eeeeehhh?! Again?!" Tsuna yells.

"Wade-kun didn't see the zoo yet. I want him to see Namimori's zoo." That sounds like a good idea!

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.

We arrived at the zoo.

"Wow!" my eyes were full of sparkles.

"Is it your first time?" Yamamoto asked.

"It kinda is since the first and last time I went to the zoo was when I was three years old. My parents were hardly ever at home so there was never a chance to go again." I sighed.

"Then let's see the lions first!" Yamamoto pointed in a certain direction and we ran toward the lions.

Chrome's POV

I can't believe that it is his second time in a zoo. He lives in New Zealand! His parents must have been really busy people. I frowned slightly as I was reminded of my past. At least his parents didn't think he was useless.

Me and the rest followed.

"They're so large!" Wade-kun was in awe.

"Look! Doesn't that one look like Xanxus box animal Bester?!" he pointed at a white lion. "So cool!" he grinned.

"Cool isn't it?" Yamamoto smiled at Wade.

"Woah! Tigers!" Wade pointed at them and ran going to it. The boys followed.

So, we visited all the animals. Ryohei went to the Kangaroo, Gokudera went to look for an UMA , Yamamoto went with Gokudera, Kyoko and Haru and Bossu went to buy souvenirs for all of us, I went to buy a chocolate and came back to see Wade sitting alone on a bench, so I went to sit next to… him… on the bench.

"Ne, Chrome-chan…" Wade says all of a sudden. "Sorry if I have been causing trouble for you and the rest." He said.

"What? No, no! You're not causing any trouble." I replied.

Actually, you're making me begin feeling things I've never felt before.

"But Tsuna's house is full now thanks to me and he's always stressed." He said, looking down at the ground.

"No one's telling that you're trouble. Don't also think negative things… it doesn't suit you who looks like a cheerful person." I stated, as I made him look at me.

"Don't think that you're a burden." I said, calmly.

"Thank you, Chrome-chan." He smiled.

So cute! Wait, why am I saying that?!

"Ne, Wade-kun… this is for you." I held out the chocolate I bought.

I saw his cheeks turn as red as the storm flame.

"Are you sure? Isn't it your favorite?" he asked. I nodded and he took the chocolate.

"Thank you Chrome-chan." He smiled.

"Would you like to have half, Chrome-chan?" he offered.

"No, it's fine. I bought it for you after all." I said.

"Are you sure?" he asked, taking a bite of the chocolate.

I couldn't resist anymore and nodded my head as he gave me one half of the chocolate.

"Thank you, Wade-kun." I smiled, and his cheeks turned red again.

"Wade!" Bossu shouted from afar and with him were Kyoko and Haru. They reached us; they were holding green plastic bags.

"We got the souvenirs!" Kyoko smiles.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.

Wade's POV

Before we left, we decided to split up and look for Ryohei, Gokudera and Yamamoto.

I walked around, hoping to find one of them as well as hoping not to get lost. After all, Namimori Zoo was huge.

No one's here, only me. I just stood there for minutes. The wind passed through and it was a nice breeze.

Leaves and sand were going with the wind, so I covered my eyes with my hands. The second I opened my eyes, I saw a ring on my finger.

"Huh?" I said.

It's a ring. It has designs of a dragon and a phoenix. Both were releasing fire, the dragons flame was colored orange and the phoenix flame was colored reddish-brown. The ring was colored black and gold.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.

When I returned I found out that Ryohei, Gokudera and Yamamoto were kicked out of the zoo because a kid told a guard that Gokudera was holding bombs, Yamamoto threw a ball that almost hit the boy and Ryohei was acting crazy.

We got our souvenirs thanks to my new best friend and his two crushes, one of which he doesn't know he has a crush on… I think. My souvenir was a keychain of a tiger. Tsuna's is a lion and Chrome's is an owl.

We went back home and ate dinner. After that, I thanked Reborn for today. I really had a good time. Because of him I became closer with everyone especially Chrome.

I went to my room and lay on top of my bed and stared at the ceiling. I lifted my hand to look at ring on my finger.

My eyes widen in realization as something came to mind.

"I want to meet the members of Shimon Famiglia."

I yawned and went to sleep.
