Characters: Everybody. Duh

Summary: It has been said long ago that actions speak louder than words ever could; however, when you live in a world where the first thing your soulmate says to you is etched upon your skin—well, suffice to say, actions don't even hold a candle to how important words can be.

Warnings: Alternate Universe where people bear soul-identifying marks; yaoi AKA boy x boy in the future; yuri AKA girl x girl; All27; drabble series

AN: Choco: So yeah, while Eri went off to go hide in some corner to probably blush over how long her explanation was in the last chapter, I'll be in charge for today haha~ To that guest who asked when's "Step by Step" going to be updated, please get an account and PM us so that we can reply instead of "guesting" ahaha~ And please review it on the proper story, ahaha~ I think you got it confused with this one, ahaha~ But to answer your question anyways, it'll be updated when it's updated, and that's all, thank you very much.

And again, sorry if the AN was really long last time (bless you, guest who said sorry after pointing that out. You're such a cutie, I freaking swear, and nah, ya didn't say anything rude, don'tcha worry) but there were a lot of people asking about it, and Eri just kinda snapped and just wrote the whole damn explanation on the next chapter! To the guest who pointed that out, thank you for the review, because now I have a reason to bully my little kohai now hahaha~ I swear, she can be such a handful sometimes, going off and doing that without me checking how long her explanation was. Really. Ugh.


CHAPTER 17

Problems. Problems. Problems.


"What's wrong with Tsuna-kun?" He hears Kyoko furtively ask Hana in a quiet voice, meant to be discreet and from his prying ears, but Tsuna hears them nonetheless. "He's been acting weird since yesterday," She continues on, and Tsuna pretends not to notice the concerned look she sends him as he stuffs his mouth with a piece of his yakisoba sandwich.

"He met his second soulmate," Hana bluntly answers, and Tsuna did not flinch, thank you very much.

"Ehhh? When?!" Kyoko bursts out, no longer feeling the need to keep their secret conversation a, well, secret.

"Just yesterday when Yuuki-sensei was handing out our test papers," Hana replies, braiding her long black hair into two braids now that she's finished eating her snacks. "They exchanged their first words, then nothing else," Hana adds.

"Nothing else?" Kyoko asks, looking both bemused and aghast. "What do you mean nothing else?" She demands, puckering her bottom lip out just as she furrows her eyebrows, adopting the frustratingly confused look in an adorable sense.

"It's just as Hana-chan said," Tsuna butts in, dejectedly looking at his food and deciding that he wasn't hungry anymore. "Nothing else happened after that. She won't talk to me," he dry sniffs as he places his food back in his tupperware, wondering if the stray cats at the alleyway right next to their school would like to have his food.

"She's ignoring you, Tsuna," Hana deadpans just as she tied the ends of her braids.

"Same thing," Tsuna mutters.

"She's ignoring you, Tsuna-kun?" Kyoko asks, looking horrified at that simple fact. "But why?!"

Both he and Hana shrug in reply.

"I don't know," Tsuna admits. "I didn't ask her, and even if I tried, she'd just look away from me or ask Yuuki-sensei if she could sit at the front like she did at Japanese," he complains, crossing his arms together as he promptly begins his sulking.

"Well that's just mean," Kyoko comments. "That's no way to treat your soulmate after just meeting them. Who is this girl, anyways?" Kyoko asks.

"Miura Haru, apaprently," Hana says, brandishing a notebook with the aforementioned name on it.

This time, both Tsuna and Kyoko turn to stare at Hana with wide, wide eyes, and their jaws slackened so that their mouths could comically agape.

"W-Where did you get that?!" Tsuna almost screeched, but he didn't.

Hana raises a delicate eyebrow. "From her desk, of course. Where else?"

"B-But that's stealing!" Tsuna exclaims. "And stealing's bad!"

"I didn't steal it!" Hana huffs, frowning deeply. "I just borrowed it. I'll return it later," was all she'd said with a elegant motion of her hand. "Eventually," she added as she opened the notebook and began scanning its contents. "She has a lot of useful notes here. I mean, look at this, she even has these amazing formulas for geometry and math. I don't know about you, but I for one know that these are for middleschool students and not for gradeschool ones," she boasts, dark eyes gleaming with a vicious intent.

Tsuna and Kyoko turned to give one another exasperated looks.
