Chapter 4 ~ Secret
The bell rang, marking the start of homeroom. The students including Gokudera and Yamamoto went back to their seats. Before doing so, Gokudera had consulted the baseball player.
"Oi, baseball nut!" Gokudera called Yamamoto. "Let's go visit Jyuudaime's house today!"
Yamamoto gave a nod of acknowledgement when the bell suddenly rang. They went back to their respective seats as the teacher came in. Instead of the norm, the teacher announced, "Today we have a transfer student from Italy. He claims that he had studied here before. Come on in!"
Gokudera eyed the new student who was entering the class suspiciously. Italy? He couldn't be from the Mafia, right? Tsuna walked in. The class gave a few 'oohs' and 'aahs' at the appearance of the new student. The teacher gestured to Tsuna. "Right. Introduce yourself while I write your name on the board."
Tsuna gave a curt nod then as he turned to face the students, his eyes met Gokudera's. He smiled and gave a small wave. However, like always to strangers, Gokudera turned away his head with an 'hmph'. The girls squealed in delight thinking it might be them.
Tsuna smiled knowingly at his right-hand man's attitude. He then introduced himself. "My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. I studied here before a year ago before transferring to Italy. Nice to meet you."
There was silence until Gokudera stood up in shock and shouted loudly, "JYUUDAIME!" All the students (including Yamamoto) gave a loud 'EEEEEHHHHHH?' that probably surprised the whole school. Everyone knows that nickname because if you mess with 'Jyuudaime', you're probably messing with the silver-haired bomber.
"Tsuna?" Yamamoto exclaimed as he took in the appearance of the boss. "That's Dama-Tsuna? Impossible!" Other students started whispering among each other in disbelief and shock.
Tsuna smiled sheepishly at the commotion. Suddenly, a cold, icy voice said, "What's with all the noise? Shut up or I'll bite you to death."
"Oh, konnichiwa, Hibari-san. Long time no see." Tsuna smiled at the raven-haired prefect. His classmates stared at him in shock. He smiled and said hello to Hibari Kyoya? The Hibari Kyoya?
"Sawada…..Tsunayoshi?" Hibari read the name on the board. "That cowardly herbivore?"
Tsuna just continued smiling as Hibari (in a sense) interrogated him. "You look strong. Let's fight." Hibari raised his tonfas which somehow appeared out of nowhere, his eyes glinting dangerously and his mouth in a cruel smirk. A few girls shrieked in terror.
Tsuna raised both his hands in mock surrender. "Now, now. We can't fight now. It might destroy the school… So, later?" Tsuna said, shrugging his shoulders. Again his classmates stared at him in shock.
Nothing happened at the moment when suddenly to the students' shock and amazement, Hibari kept his tonfas and glared pointedly at Tsuna, who was looking very relieved and still smiling.
As Hibari stalked off to find another herbivore to bite to death, the students all heaved a sigh of relief. Tsuna then seated himself in a window seat at the back, ignoring all stares directed at him.
Yamamoto sat behind him while Gokudera was on his right side. Soon, it was lunch. They headed towards the roof, which is their meeting place. Ryohei was already there, boxing an invisible person. When he spotted them, he yelled at them for being late.
"WHY ARE YOU EXTREMELY LATE?"
"We're not late, you lawnhead! The teacher just let us out!" Gokudera snapped, his anger rising to dangerous levels. "Who do you think we are? Superman?"
"SHUT UP, YOU OCTOPUS HEAD! AND WHO THE EXTREME IS THAT GUY?" Ryohei yelled back, pointing at Tsuna.
"It's Tsuna." Yamamoto broke in with a broad grin on his face.
"Don't you dare call Jyuudaime 'that guy'! Show some respect!" Gokudera shouted at Ryohei who was looking confused. Who wouldn't get confused if you are in Ryohei's shoes? With his pea-sized brain?
"Maa, maa. You didn't recognize him at first too, Gokudera." Yamamoto laughed.
Gokudera glared at him before realization struck him hard. EXTREMELY hard. He turned towards Tsuna, got on his knees and continuously banged his head on the floor, yelling, "Jyuudaime! Forgive me!" Normally Tsuna would stop him at this point but now, he didn't. He was looking somewhere else. Gokudera raised his head timidly and asked, "Jyuudaime?"
Tsuna opened his mouth and then he uttered his very first sentence ever since he stepped foot onto the roof, his eyes serious. "Reborn, what are you doing?"
Gokudera slowly stood up and said, "Reborn-san? I don't see him anywhere."
Suddenly, they heard something crack beside them. All of them (except Tsuna) looked up into the sky in horror and saw a small shape hurtling towards them at roughly the speed of a bullet. Wait, it was a bullet! And it was heading towards Gokudera!
"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna yelled as he pushed his right-hand man away, leaving a small hole on the floor in Gokudera's place. Reborn 'tched' and started aiming towards his student. He aimed for Tsuna's head and started shooting at the brunette. Somehow, Tsuna managed to dodge all of them with style. The three spectator whooped in awe as their boss dodged all the bullets with ease.
Reborn narrowed his eyes. Something was fishy. Tsuna shouldn't be able to dodge that way. Wait, it's not that. If he couldn't dodge it, he would be mincemeat in no time. His style was slightly different than the way it usually was.
'How can his style change tremendously in a few months the last time I saw him?' Reborn thought, his suspicions rising to another high level. 'First, there's the matter with his eyes. Now his style changed. Another thing to suspect. This is very weird, very weird.'
Reborn stopped shooting and he landed lightly on the roof. He walked forward until he stopped right in front of Tsuna. "Tsuna." Reborn called.
Tsuna looked startled for a moment, then he relaxed almost immediately as he looked down to find a Sun arcobaleno looking at him intently.
"Hi, Reborn. What's up?" He laughed while scratching his head. His guardians stared at shock at their boss. The same thing running through their mind: Does he have a personality switch or something?
As memories of the situation flooded into Tsuna's brain, he silently cursed. He then stared at Reborn and reprimanded him, "You shouldn't have done that, Reborn! What if someone had gotten hit? They could be unconscious for days! Although you used rubber bullets, your shots are way too powerful!"
The three guardians stared at disbelief. The bullets were rubber? How did he even know that?
Reborn pouted and used his puppy eyes on Tsuna and answered, "Awww, I was just playing. I was bored."
Tsuna sighed in surrender. 'Reborn will always be Reborn.' He thought as he made his way to the entrance/exit of the roof.
Gokudera snapped out of his reverie and asked loudly, "Jyuudaime? Where are you going?"
"To the bathroom! I'll be back!" Tsuna replied in a reassuring tone and a slight wave of his hand.
In the bathroom, Tsuna splashed his face with cold water from the running tap. He then reached for his eyes and took out the brown contact lenses, revealing sky blue eyes. He muttered to himself, "You shouldn't have done that, you idiot. What should I do? Reborn is getting suspicious…...
….And it's all your fault….Giotto."
He looked up and narrowed his eyes accusingly. His reflection in the mirror, a man with blond hair and sky blue eyes smiled but he said nothing.
So, surprise? And I've been wondering.. Is Giotto's eyes blue or orange? I'm extremely confused now.. So, if you know, please tell me! Enjoy and of course, review :)
