Soooo sorry for the late entry...I just procrastinated until the end...But not anymore! This actually has like ten thousand words, my hand is killing me!
But who cares...
Lee is back and with a vengeance!
so here is the next installment.
Liro
There was no escape.
The doors were closed and those stupid car windows were rolled all the way up.
Being held back by the seat belt didn't make anything any better.
Damn child-locks, damn safety hazard and car safety for children.
Damn Tsuna.
I turned to my fellow cellmate and saw him sipping his juice, humming to the children's-sing-along CD mommy had put on.
He was happy, carefree of any care whatsoever.
That poor disillusioned fool.
I scowled in his direction before turning to the window again. Then I saw it; the tall, white building, get closer.
I paled and tried to unbuckle myself again from the stupid car seat. I turned to the car door and tried to open it again.
Damn you again child-lock.
Then the car stopped and mommy turned to us smiling sickeningly sweet. The white, horrible building was right at the end of the parking lot.
I gave up on being all ninja sneaky like and finally got myself unbuckled. I ran to the car window and pounded on the window. I pound on it desperately with my tin- but tough- fist.
"LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT! HELLLPPPP! I'M BEING HELD AGAINST MY OWN RIGHT! HELLLPPPP!"
Everyone on the outside- who were mostly and their brats- turned to me. The mommies looked over and then just shrugged it off, while someone laughed- a knowing look on their face.
Mommy looked directly at me with a look ranging from annoyance, to irritation and amusement.
….What a vicious women….Now I see where I get it from.
But this is no time for admiration or fear. I kept myself attached to the window and glared at the people who only stared, but never even once tried to take any action.
Did they not hear me? I scowled. "OI BAKA'S! HURRY UP AND HELP ME! DON'T JUST STARE AT ME HELP! THIS WOMEN IS HOLDING ME AGAINST MY OWN WILL! I NEED AN ADULT, I NEED AN ADULT!"
They stared at me for a minute longer, then they just kept walking into the building blissfully ignoring me…..again. I heard them mutter and giggle to themselves as they talked to their own children.
Damn bastards.
I heard the car door open from the side and close. Then the car door opened again, this time from Tsuna's side. I heard him grunt and then thank my mommy ass he was unbuckled and taken out of the car.
The car door closed and I felt my end come closer.
I heard some laughter from the outside. I saw the kids walk into the building, smiling and laughing, carrying their toys, wearing their red backpacks, with joy.
They were so carefree like Tsuna.
Those poor disillusioned fools.
My door opened this time and my mother stared at me, hands on her hips, full of undeterred emotions and unmoving motivation.
An undeterred goal to weigh on her shoulder; A goal consisting of getting me out of this car and into that building.
Over my dead body.
I jumped over my car seat super quick and to the other side of the car; trying to get some form of distance between me and my mother. I wasn't fast enough.
Momma had grabbed hold of my leg before I had gotten too far away and pulled me back with a scary face. "Don't you even dare young lady. I worked hard to dress you, feed you and get you in this car. I have too many toddler scratches on my face to give up now. Do you really think I'll let you get away after coming this far?"
She smirked with malice as she dragged me closer to her. "You're out of your five year old mind."
I grabbed hold of my car seat as my feet dangled from the car. "NO! OVER MY DEAD BODY YOU OLD HAG!" I realized my mistake to late.
The tugging stopped and I looked over my shoulder at the uneasy quietness from my mother.
…..I shouldn't have looked.
Her mouth was twitching and her eyebrows were caught in an endless tick as grin turned into a malicious snarl showing all her pearly white teeth.
…What have I done?
"…..o-old...ha-hag…" Her head hung down and I felt the blood drain from my body and my hands go limp. She jumped at my moment of weakness and pulled me out.
'AHHHH! It burns!'
I saw her face up close and before I could struggle in her grip…..everything went black.
Tsuna
I think Nii-san just died.
I can't help but think anything but that as nii-san's mommy threw his limp body over her shoulder.
She laughed very scarily as she slammed the door shut. I couldn't help but shiver when she turned towards me.
She looked down at me and smiled non-scarily. "Oh, Sorry Tsu-kun, I completely forgot you were there. I didn't mean to scare you." Her smile got wider and it made me stop shivering.
She unwrinkled my smock and adjusted my yellow hat, grabbing my hand. She bent down to my level and cleaned my face of juice. "Don't worry. You never have to be afraid. Unlike this brat, Tsu-kun is a very good and cute kid. I would never hurt you." She smiled.
I couldn't help but smile back at nii-san's pretty mommy." Hai!"
She squealed and squeezed me in a hug. "Oh you are so cute Tsuna! Just like Nana-chan." I felt my cheeks get warm and pink. She put me down and I gripped her hand tighter.
As we walked into the building, I couldn't help but wonder why Nii-san wasn't more like his mommy. She was so pretty and nice and pretty- She really is. I'll truthfully admit that she's even prettier than mama.
I heard a groan and saw nii-san start to move. I smiled and was about to say something when nii-san's mommy got up quickly and banged nii-san's body into the wall. Nii-san fell limp again.
His mommy smirked. "Oh-no you don't you little brat! I don't need you getting worked up all over again after all we went through this morning before we get to your room. I do not need you getting kicked out of kindergarten on your first day! Not again, Not on my watch."
She got this dark and cruel look on her face as we kept walking down the hall. I paled and shivered again.
….No….I was wrong. Nii-san is exactly like her mommy.
…Kowai…
Liro
"Konichiwa Minna!"
"Konichiwa Sensei!" the room answered back annoyingly. I frowned at the loud room and the smiling faces looking at me. Then sensei looked over at me and motioned for me to come over and stand closer to the front.
She looked back at the class. "It's a little late in the year but today we have new student joining us. Everyone say hello to Liro-chan.
"Konichiwa Liro-chan."
I groaned inwardly. 'How sickeningly annoying' It's utterly unnatural to be that cheery this freakin early in the morning…Or any other time while stuck in this place.
Then the unpleasant thoughts stopped as I remembered what mommy said before she left after waking me from my kidnappi- wait…sorry…..'Nap'.
"You'll behave Lee. I know you will. Don't do anything that will make me rebuke that set of mind…..or else."
I gulped and a sweet smile soon graced my lips. Sensei turned back to me. "Liro-chan, would you like to introduce yourself. Pleases tell us anything about yourself."
I looked at her. "Anything?"
"Why yes, of course." She replied. From the corner of my eye I saw Tsuna twitch from the back. I smirked.
Before I could start, sensei was called by a teacher from the outside. She smiled at me and towards the class. She told me to go on ahead and that she'll be back shortly.
I turned to the smiling and expecting faces and once again, smiled sweetly. "Yo, my name's Liro, but you can call me Lee….well that is if I like you….If I don't, don't even speak to me."
Most of the smiles disappeared and replaced with wide eyes and shocked faces. I saw Tsuna, in the far back, hang his head until it hit the table. I continued.
"Also, don't annoy me past five times. If you do, you'll regret it." I tilted my head to the side.
"Let's see, something about myself is that I hate stupid people and loud noises. So just don't be a brat around me and we'll be okay. I don't care about anything that much except when it comes to food and money. And in the near future…..I plan to rule the world." Some twitched and paled in my direction. I stopped and pointed at them.
I smirked. "….and from now on…..your all my bitches now." The brats looked around wondering what I said. A few had surprised looks on their faces; like that, kinda, pretty girl with ginger hair and that tall kid back there with spiky hair and a dumb smile on his face.
There were some that actually smirked in my direction, like this curly haired, brunette girl. Some looked pretty snobbish and frowned in my direction. But they were the few I could really care less about.
I stopped looking. "Oh…..and I like grape juice and my beanie hat." The teacher walked in as I finished. She smiled and clapped her hands.
"Very good Lee." She turned to the class "Aren't I right class?"
The brats looked between each other and then hesitantly nodded back. "H-Hai…"
The cheery sensei smiled for the umpteenth time. "Okay than. Lee, please go find a seat at any of these table. There are three two a table so just find one that has below that." I nodded at her but never bothered to look at all the available empty seats.
I passed the staring brats and go to Tsuna's table. His head was on the table and he was being, once again, all emo-ish and a downright downer.
He must've loved my speech.
I smirked and sat right next to him, ignoring the murmurs and gasps that ensued. When I saw that sensei had turned away and the staring brats had stopped looking (well at least some have. Some were still being creeps and staring at me and my awesomeness…..but who could blame them) I hit him upside his head.
He did his trademark girl 'HIII' scream and looked up tiredly at me. I smirked and gave him a thumbs up. "So Tsu-kun…..how'd I do?"
Tsuna looked at me and then let his head fall on the table as he groaned.
I looked at him and blinked. 'what…what I'd do?'
It's soooooooooo boooorrinnngggggg….
It was recess time and I was all alone.
Tsuna was still in class because he wasn't writing his name in kanji. Some juice had fallen on the first one, and then the next and now he was on his fifth try.
Stupid Tsuna…leaving me all by myself.
Now I'm all alone and no one seems too eager to fix that. Apparently, in Tsuna's word and stupid opinion, I had scared off a majority of the kids with my awesome speech. The rest of them avoid me because I sit next to Tsuna.
That got my attention and I frowned again. It seems my prey is being targeted by other vultures…..I'll have to fix that. I knew I shouldn't have let that old hag of mine take my bat.
I sighted and swung my legs. Ehh….I'll worry about that later. Right now, I really don't care.
Even though I hate being with a lot of noise and annoying people, I'm a social person. It's boring not to have someone to tortu-…..talk to right about now. Though I will admit, I do have some loner-ish qualities.
So despite the fact that I'm deprived from the social circle, being ignored by drooling, chattering, and insufferable brats is perfectly fine with me.
Hehe…..maybe this school thing ain't that bad.
I looked from the top of the slide that everyone apparently avoided, and basically just people-watched.
Tsuna and momma had told me before that that's a very bad and creepy habit.
I would take their opinion seriously but one's an idiot and the other is an adult…and adults are not kids so who cares what they think.
Sticking my leg through the bars on the slide, I looked around the school playground. On one side, I saw a crowd around that spiky haired boy with the stupid smile.
He was showing off his baseball with lots of scribbles on it and everyone seemed to be highly impressed. I stuck my tongue out. Yuck….
I made a face when I saw the looks on the girls and boys looking at the boy with sparkly eyes.
Fanboys and girls….Hmph….and Tsuna called me creepy. I shudder as the fans started squealing and ignored the look smiley (That's his nickname from now on) sent me when he caught me looking.
I looked to the other side of the park and saw it was quieter and emptier. There was a girl running around, and repeatedly falling, chasing around the ladybugs and butterflies.
There was dirt on her face, smock, legs, and hands, but apparently she didn't seem to care.
I smiled. Now that's a kid that can have fun and could care less what anybody has to say about it. I looked at the girl in smaller detail and saw that it was the ginger head from before.
Thinking of her, I remembered the other thing momma said. "Lee, I really fear you're going to grow up being socially inept, so, I expect you to make a friend during school. And don't say Tsuna, he doesn't count anymore. When you get out of school, I will expect to hear all about it …..Or else.
Yeesshhh……she sounds like a broken record…..whatever the hell that is. I looked at the girl who was being approached by another. She'd make an alright choice for a friend; despite the fact that she has a sparkly aura all around her. Way better than those snobby kids who were jeering at her, the way to happy smiley guy, the other screaming brats and absolutely, positively better than the….'fans'. I shuddered.
Yes…..definitely better.
"You know….it's considered rude, If not creepy, to stare like that." I jumped at the voice. I turned slowly to the side with wide eyes and saw someone climbing up the steps of the play area. It was the curly head brunette that had smirked and nodded from before.
'When the hell did she get there!', "When the hell did you get there!" I looked back to where she and the ginger-sparkly girl were 'suppose' to be at and found it empty; the ginger girl nowhere in sight.
'Where'd she-!'
The girl came and sat right beside me. She giggled and I looked at her. I frowned. "What's so funny?"
She pointed at me and smirked. "You of course…..look down."
I did what she said and saw the missing girl looking up at me with big doe eyes (Ughhh…Tsuna eyes) and pink cheeks. I blinked and turned to the curly haired. After a while of staring and assessing each other down, I smirked.
"I give….You two caught me." She smirked and nodded.
"Of course we did. It's not that hard considering the culprit has such intense eyes and no sense of scrutiny." I pouted and she smirked.
"It also doesn't help when you're the new kid who made a big spectacle on their first day." Her grin widened and she looked down at the other girl. "Kyoko, hurry up and get up here. Don't be such a wimp."
I winced at her yell and plugged my ear. The other girl turned kinda red and nodded firmly. Curly haired turned to me and saw my hands on my ears. She blushed. "Sorry about that."
I nodded and moved my hands. "It's cool. I'm more impressed you two are actually getting on this virtual death trap." I pointed to where a majority of the brats were playing around with smiley.
"Even those idiots were too scared to climb on. They don't even bother to look in this direction." She made a face.
"First of all, I think you might be part of the reason. Second, don't compare me to those stupid monkeys. They're all brats who have no brains whatsoever. All boys are stupid…." She stopped and looked at me. "…..though there might be some exceptions."
I looked at her weirdly. Exception….does she mean someone like smiley over there….or better yet Tsuna...No…wait….he's probably dumber than a monkey and smiley doesn't look that bright either. I nodded back at her. "..I see."
I saw the ginger head before reach the last step on the play set, but struggle to reach the top. I got up and extended my hand to her. "Here…grab my hand. The last step is harder if you're kinda short."
She looked at me and turned pink. 'Huh….that's weird.'
She nodded shyly and grabbed my hand after the longest time. I pulled her up and grabbed her in a hug when she stumbled. She blushed much redder and stumbled away from my hold.
She looked at me, turning pretty red. "T-thank you L-Liro-kun."
'-Kun' I ignored it and nodded, sitting back in my spot. "No problem, but call me Lee. My name is pretty annoying so you'll actually be doing me a favor, Kay." I smiled at the last word. She smiled really pretty and turned pink again.
From the side I saw curly hair smile with an annoyed look on her face…..weird…again. I looked at 'Kyoko' who nodded back at my previous statement.
"T-Then I'll call you Lee-kun from now on. Y-Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu Lee-kun" 'Why the hell would you repeatedly call me -Kun?!'
I ignored it again and nodded back. Then curly hair grabbed my arm. She looked at me with a serious face. "How about me? Can I call you that too?" She said very demanding.
I cringed at the look but managed to smirk. "S-sure…i-if you want."
I felt kind-of like Tsuna stuttering like that.
She smirked. "Good, Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu Lee, my name's Kurokawa Hana." She pointed to the ginger. "She's Sasagawa Kyoko. Might I say it's a pleasure to finally meet Namimori's own infamous Lee-kun." I smirked at her words.
"Infamous Ehh?"
"Most definitely. First day and everyone already thinks you're a big shot. Though a majority can't seem to make the connection, I also know your name is also pretty well known around the neighborhood mister dangerous-dramatic-speech."
I laughed, startling the two. "Ha, I knew it. My speech was great, to think that Tuna-fish actually though anything different." I looked back at the two. "Also, you've heard of me right, that's Great. You two think I'm awesome too, right?"
The two blushed red. I blinked. 'What….what I'd do?'
I looked at the sun. Nope, can't be sunburn, it's not that hot. I got up closer to their faces and the red increased. I blinked.
"Are you guys sick or something? You two keep getting red." Hana pouted and hastily pushed my face away. Kyoko turned redder and shook her so fast in denial; I thought it would snap off.
"N-Nothing's wrong you baka!" Hana shouted, looking kinda funny with her tomato face. I felt my eyebrow twitch.
"Who're you calling a baka; I was just asking you a question yeesshhh!" Hana puffed her cheeks.
"Hey you can't say that. You're supposed to be nice to me. I'm a girl."
I snorted. "So's my mom, but I still call her a crazy old hag." 'Not to her face of course.' She stopped scowling and raised a brow.
She sat next to me and smirked. "So you really aren't like all the others….your different." Ignoring the fact that I didn't know who the 'others' were, I nodded triumphantly at her evaluation.
"Of course I am. After all, I'm a bonafide Individuali-"
"You're stupider." Hana cut me off. I twitched and Kyoko gasped.
"Hana-chan!"
"O-oi!"
The girl in question turned pink and winked. She hugged my arm and got close to me. "-But I actually like that in you than in the other monkeys. Let's be friends from now on."
I glared at her. Despite the fact that this girl bluntly insulted me and worked me up, she was alright. Unlike all the other who annoyed me and made want to bash their heads in, she didn't; just like Tsuna.
Then mama's reminder swam in my head. I shuddered and looked at the clinging girl. I needed friends, real badly, so I wouldn't need to face that women's wrath. I sighted.
Then I turned to her and smiled. "Your all right curly-ha- I mean Hana. Why not. Let's be friends."
Kyoko stood up suddenly and with a determined (slightly annoyed) look on her face. It was very fierce, similar to the ones the old hag did, that made me twitch involuntarily.
"ME TOO! I WANT TO BE LEE-KUN'S FRIENDS TOO!"
I looked at her and she started turning red. I stood up and smirked. "Sure why not. I like you too sparkle- I mean Kyoko."
She smiled and started 'shining'. Augghh it was so bright, it made me squint. This girl was so sparkly and nice-looking, almost like Tsuna, I was beginning to have doubts about befriending her. I can't force that into such a good kid (Tsuna's different; he's my bitch-as daddy says.).
She sat on the other side of me and was about to say something, when we heard it.
HIIIIII!
I sighted.
And it wasn't even lunch time yet.
Tsuna
Nii-san is such a drama-king. Well I think that's what it is.
It's barely been a minute and he's already marking his territory at school. I sighted.
Nii-san's such a dramatic, fl-flamb-boyent person; AKA a drama-king
I looked at him and saw his prideful and arrogant d-demeanor morph into his 'your-all-below-me-so-bow-down-to-me-like-the-coackroaches-you-all-are-or-face-my-wrath' tyrant, king mode.
I let my head fall unto the table.
And to think, for a minute, I actually though nii-san would actually behave and act normal.
Especially after his mommy picked him off the floor, when he woke up, and threatened him with some unmentionables she thought it would be best I shouldn't hear.
I guess nii-san was right when he said fantasies are only for useless-lazy quacks. I should have known better when it came to him.
I looked around the room and saw how everyone looked at him. Some of the more normal ones were confusion (my cheeks turn red…l-like Sasagawa-san) and fright. The other looks (which were actually a lot) were of amusement, admiration, interest, curiosity, annoyance and excitement.
To tell the truth, those were kind-of expected when dealing with someone like nii-san. All of what I said was, how I kinda of looked at him (more than anything fright).
Not that much annoying though (only when nii-san purposely does that to get that 'response'); especially not compared to the kids giving nii-san that type of look.
The mean, rich kids that ruled kindergarten. I gulped. I don't know what to be more afraid off.
The fact that there will, no doubt, be a confrontation between them and nii-san; they have that look that always shows when they've found a new target. Or, the fact that that if nii-san finds out he's targeted…..will no doubt fight back.
I hoped he doesn't fight back; for their sakes, and his. He's too young to go to that place, nii-san mommy always say's bad people go to.
I sighted. But, I know nii-san well enough to say that he will fight back.
He always does. He always wins, but in this situation it's very bad.
I saw the mean kids group, especially Takabari-kun point at nii-san and give him a dirty look.
Great…..now nii-san is definitely targeted. I looked at nii-san as he proclaimed his dreams on total world-domination and epic love for money, all dramatically.
I groaned and let my head hit the table again. It's bad enough nii-san will already be osterized because of me, now's he's gone and made big, head-turning scene of his own v-vo-volition.
Don't get me wrong, I know that regardless of what they do, they'll never be able to hurt nii-san. Actually, whatever they do will pale in comparison to what nii-san will do in return when he gets revenge.
…..but nii-san…..he's pretty dumb. I mean he's, what he calls it, street smart, witty and clever…..but that's it. The only reason he actually finish writing his name before me is because he copied mine.
….I-I don't know how he though he'd get away with that. Sooner or later, sensei will look through them and she will see tha- wait! That's not the point.
Point is while nii-san is very clever, he's also incredibly dumb…which is really saying something from a dame person like me.
He'll probably never know, or better yet notice, he's being made fun of. Instead of believing he's getting picked on he'll probably think it's a game.
Even if I try to help by telling, it'll probably make it worse because no doubt nii-san will go all monkey-crazy again, I'll be useless, and then he'll be called dame like me.
Nii-san might be mean, scary, cruel, cynical, dumb, s-sadistic, and an overall crazy, idiotic, tyrant, but he's not dame.
He's not weak, useless, clumsy (sometimes,), and good for nothing. He's dense and a moron, but not stupid.
He's not like me. When he finds out he's getting bullied, he'll get mad and go overboard…again.
He'll get kicked out of school, and then…..i won't be able to go to school with him or worse those rich kids might make nii-san's parents transfer away, like all the other people did that they didn't like, and I won't ever see him again.
I know nii-san is an overbearing person, but…he's my best friend. Regardless of what he says, I know he feel the same…..don't tell him though.
I shook my head. No….even if it means getting nii-san mad at me, I won't let that happen. I heard the teacher come in and ignore the fact that everyone was looking at nii-san both with terror and admiration.
Then again, that always seems to happen to nii-san. Apparently no one sees what a monster he is and just see a cute and harmless kid that could do no wrong.
Those poor fools.
No-one over twenty knows how he is, well except his mommy and daddy and my papa. Other than that, he has everyone wrapped around his finger.
I heard the chair scrape beside me and felt something hit my head. I rubbed my head and looked up to see nii-san grinning at me like he just didn't make the biggest spectacle ever, and in all, the worst first introduction ever.
"So Tsuna, How'd I do?" He asked with sparkly eyes.
Great nii-san. I felt my head hit the table again (I was so gonna get a bruise there later) and I groaned.
Just great.
Well the good thing is, I didn't get a bruise, but my hands really hurt.
I just finished writing my last name and now I was staring to write my first name- carefully and slowly so I don't mess up and start all over again.
Like the time before, and the time before that. Over, and over, and over, again.
Maybe that wouldn't happen if I wasn't so clumsy and ruined all of my previous papers.
….But a part of me keeps saying that it wasn't my entire fault either. Well maybe it was the first or second time, but more than likely not the last three. This thinking was hurting my head, but I knew I was right.
I thought I saw Takabari-kun smirk when my work got ruined the third time and I know that it wasn't because of my juice that time.
The juice looked purplish and I had apple juice at the time. That juice was cranberry and Takabari-kun is the only one that likes that juice.
Then the fourth had holes in it and a friend of Takabari-kun was around the table with a pencil when I was showing nii-san what cubby was his.
It didn't take a genius to know what happened. Nii-san didn't get it, but he's a very oblivious; he won't figure it out until it either happens, somebody tells him, or it's reveled for him.
He'll never figure it out himself.
Nii-san has always said that weak people get stepped on by the stronger. Unfortunately I'm the weakest one in class.
I was always the target; the one always being stepped on. So I would know when it was their work or not. So I lied to nii-san and told him I did it. He gave me this weird look but seemed to fall for it pretty easily.
Then he proceeded to get mad at him for leaving me during recess, stole my apple juice and left.
So…..It was a pretty normal reaction. I'm just glad those mean kids still have their eyes on me then nii-san. That's the situation I most want to avoid.
I finally finished my name after the longest time. I got up and handed my paper to the teacher. She smiled and let me go play for the remaining of the time.
When I got out I immediately started looking for nii-san. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there was no immediate destruction or chaos anywhere. So nii-san is actually trying to keep his promise this time…well that's a first.
Then I spotted nii-san on the scary play area and was not at all surprised to find it marked by him. He was talking to….I blushed, Sasagawa-san and…..I groaned, Kurokawa-san.
I blushed again. Sasagawa-san was really pretty. She was nice, had a nice laugh and in all was real cute and pretty. It was no wonder she was our classes idol. A lot of boys liked her, and a lot of the girls didn't.
Well that's understandable since she was sooo cute and they were just clearly jealous their not as pretty and Oh I wish she was my friend.
…..Only Kurokawa-san would never allow that. She was her best friend and was very overprotective. She never left her side and never let her fans get near her.
…n-not that I'm one of course. I-I just want to s-strengthen or bond as classmates. T-that's all.
Then a laugh broke me out of my stupor. I looked back at nii-san and saw him smirk at the two girls. I paled considerably.
I took a running start to where they were at and hoped, hoped that nii-san didn't hurt them. He had a habit of always punching first, questioning later; especially to unknown, strangers- which unfortunately Sasagawa-san (and Kurokawa-san) was.
Nii-san, a cruel and brutal tyrant, Sasagawa-san an innocent, fragile little flower…no matter how you look at it, those two do not mix at all (Kurokawa and nii-san can, in fact it's scary how similar they are).
Before I got close enough, the ground fall beneath me. "I-Itai…"
I got up and looked around only for someone to push me down. I looked up grabbing my elbow. I saw Takabari-kun and his friends looking down on me. I gulped and started backing away when they rounded me around the sandbox.
"Hehe, where are you going dame-Tsuna." I looked back up to Takabari-kun and slowly stood up. I looked past him and saw nii-san still distracted by the two girls. That's good, as long as he didn't pay attention, maybe I could hide this from nii-san.
He'll be clueless and won't get involved-
"Pay attention you butt bag, I'm talking here." I felt someone push me hard and I felt myself fall over the sandbox ledges. I couldn't stop the yell that escaped from my mouth as my head hit the sand and went into my mouth.
"HIIIII!"
Liro
I looked over the safety fence and saw Tsuna by the sandbox. He was on the ground, spitting out sand, surrounded by the snobby kids from before. I felt my hands clench on the rails.
Hana noticed this and looked over in the same direction. She smacked her lips. "Oh great, those stupid brats are at it again. Will they ever give that kid a break?"
Kyoko only nodded and looked towards the direction. "Poor Sawada-san."
I growled and made my way towards the steps. "Don't worry; they'll give it a break if I have anything to say about. Those dumb nuts, wait till I get to the-"
"Matte!" I turned to see Hana hold unto my arm with a worried look on her face." You can't do that, if you do, that's the same as committing social suicide. Or worse…"
I stopped the scowl on face and looked at them. "What the hell are you talking about? Who are the and why the hell shouldn't I go beat their asses? You should already know how I am right Hana, why the hell do you think I would care about my 'social appearance'?"
She sighted, and started climbing down, with Kyoko, alongside me. I looked back quickly and saw a crowd circle around the scene. 'Surprisingly' enough, there were no adults in sight…..coincidence….I don't think so. I looked back at Hana, mid-step to the ground.
"Well?"
She sighted. "You haven't been here long enough to know the Takabari family and its followers have you?"
" The who now?"
She sighted. "I thought as much. The Takabari family is like super big. There loaded with money and power. You know those supermalls right, they own a few them. "
I jumped at this. "Money?!" she nodded and looked towards the direction of Tsuna and the crowd.
"Yeah, that boy at the head of the crowd, He's the next heir so he's pretty big in Namimori. His little gang consists of children from the families that follow the Takabari branch. So you see where I'm going with."
I tilted my head and blinked. She knocked on my head and sighted. "You really are stupid. That means that Takabari-kun can practically do whatever he wants because he can't get in trouble. He can bribe the school, parents and even the cops if he ever dose and he gets away scotch free. Also, if anybody stands up to him and talk backs, he can have them transferred away or locked up."
I frowned. "So basically, that little shit hides behind his parents and their money."
She nodded. "Just about."
I stood up and she yelped. "W-wait, you're still going over there despite what I told you. You can't hurt him, he's untouchable. I know it sucks that's happening to Sawada but stil-"
I looked back at her and smirked. "Don't worry I'm not gonna do anything rash. I know it's a lot to ask since we just met but, trust me on this."
She gave me a weird look and I smiled back. "Despite my past actions, even though it's hard to believe, I can be civil. I'm just gonna rationalize with him about picking on my prey."
She had this shock look. "P-Prey."
I twitched. "I-I meant Tsu-kun." I turned back to the crowd and got out of her hold. I saw the boy pull on Tsuna's hair and I felt my mood darken.
I kept my smile up. "I'll be back in a bit Hana, Kyoko." My face darkened even more. "I'll be back real soon."
"W-wait!" Hana looked at the retreating back of the boy. She sighted and smacked her lips. The girl beside her grabbed unto her arm and pouted.
"H-Hana…..Is Lee-kun….will he really be alright." Hana sighted at the worried girl. She really didn't know how to answer the girl either.
Everyone who was anyone knew of the infamous Lee. He was the cruelest and toughest kid in the Namimori district. The rumors surrounding the boy were ten times, no, twenty times worse than what Takabari could ever do with his money.
He's already beaten most of the toughest adults and has virtual control of the neighborhood. I have no doubt that the Zoo, and Kokuyo land accident, that happen a few weeks back had something to do with him.
I sighted. Because of the bad reputation that followed him, everybody believes he's a grown man or just a myth. Even I thought so but, when I saw the new kid give his speech, I just immediately though it was him.
Rumors say that Lee was a power hungry, greedy man that had incredible strength, no mercy and absolutely no reason for his actions. He eluded an aura of superiority, arrogance, Impatience, royalty, sadism and most of all stupidity.
The new kid was exactly like that. Also, adding to the fact that he was immediately next to dame-Tsuna from the beginning, made him highly suspicious.
Ever since Lee showed up, Dame-Tsuna has been virtually untouchable. At first everyone thought it was a coincidence, but then every time someone picked on Tsuna, the inflictor would end up virtually crippled at the hospital; no matter the age or severity of the crime.
Everyone then though Tsuna had some form of connection to Lee; maybe he was an uncle or older brother- which he technically is since I heard the boy call him nii-san. So when the new kid went directly to Tsuna, that made some wires connect.
The new kid was also called Lee, which should have clued in anybody with a brain; even Kyoko figured it out. I sighted again. Despite his stupidity, Lee-kun was very charming, and very cute. He was almost pretty like a girl, almost like Kyoko pretty, even more.
So this is what momma said was a bad boy attractiveness. Lee-kun was really something; strong, mature, dangerous, cool, tough, and especially attractive. He was like a way quieter, prettier version of Kyoko's 'extreme brother.
I think Kyoko also thinks that too. I smirked at the girl. "Why are you so worried Kyoko? It's not like you like him or something? After all you just met the boy…..or maybe you do. After all, you kept staring at him all throughout class, and kept writing his name in you notebook."
The girl blushed and I smirked. She pouted and glared, very ineffectively and cutely. "S-stop teasing me Hana, I-I do not like him. Beside, like you're one to talk. Weren't you the one that was dying to meet him when we got to recess. You were even spying on him and made me distract him so you could sneak up on him. " She smirked kinda evilly. "Aren't you the one that likes him?"
I felt my cheeks redden. I looked away and pouted "I- I don't know what you're talking about." She did the same
"I don't know either." Kyoko looked over at me. "B-but despite that…..L-lee-kun….he looked very mad. Is he really gonna be okay."
I looked over at the girl. "I-I don't know. You know how the rumors were right. Lee's an unreasonable person. If he really is the Lee, everyone talks about, and he's the one that's very overprotective over Sawada….we might have some problems."
"B-but he promised."
"Yeah….well….do you even remembered the rumors." Kyoko got very quiet.
"…..we need to go stop Lee-kun."
I nodded. "My thoughts exactly; he might be a rumor legend, but he's just a new student that doesn't know the way school works…..and I really have no trust in his words."
She nodded and I grabbed her hand. We made our way to the even bigger crowd as Lee-kun parted them to get through.
We squeezed through and eventually got front row seats to the confrontation between Lee and Takabari-kun. Lee was staring the boy down as he stood in front of Sawada. Takabari looked scared but arrogant.
You would think he'd know by now that this was a bad idea. Takabari-kun was pretty smart, I'm more than positive he's heard of Lee-kun.
Yet that didn't seem to stop him. He constantly picked on Tsuna, even now that he knew Lee went here.
Which bring about the question? Will this really end well at all?
Tsuna
The worst scenario is happening before my eyes. Nii-san is standing right in front of me, staring down at Takabari-kun.
He looked majorly pissed….and I meant Lee-kun, not Takabari. I already mentioned he was very territorial; especially when it comes to his prey.
Unfortunately I was one of his prey. If anybody picked on me, he'd get them and make their live hell. Than he'd make mine hell because I let someone pick on me.
Normally, I'd be semi-okay with that, but this is Takabari-kun. Nii-san can't touch him, or else he'll get hurt very badly.
It's not like we have more power over the rich kids; our moms are house moms, my dad is a construction trafficker, and nii-san's dad is an architect.
I heard nii-san growl and Takabari-kun puffed up his chest. "O-oi what are you doing new kid. Get lost will you, I have business with dame-Tsuna not some snot-nose, stupid pretty boy."
I saw nii-san twitch and a malevolent aura surround him. His face looked cruel and utterly darkened by his mood. I shivered. I haven't seen nii-san like this in such a long time.
"O-Oi are you even listening newbie. Do you even know who I am? I won't tell you again, go away."
It got worse and I won't lie….it was utterly terrifying and everyone seemed to sense it, even Takabari-kun. I got up real quickly and grabbed nii-san's arm. His face got shrouded.
"N-Nii-san please, just-just do as he says. I-I'm okay, I-I just fell and-and this happens all the time." He said and did nothing.
"Nii-san…?" Then Nii-san turned to look at me and I felt my spirit leave my body.
He was smiling; A big, wide smile across his face. My arm sagged and I let him go. I backed away slowly.
N-nii-san…he was incredibly mad…..utterly furious.
I've only seen this face once…..that was when some snotty man started talking bad about nii-san's mommy and…..well….it was utterly disastrous.
Takabari-kun growled. "Oi dame-Tsuna, who told you, you could to talk? This is between me and this idiot that doesn't know his place, so stay out of it. I'll deal with you later." I twitched at his words and when nii-san's sparkly aura got bigger.
Then, nii-san looked at me with his 'heavenly' smile and I felt like peeing my pants. I started shivering, especially when he started petting my hair.
"Don't worry Tsu-kun, I'm just gonna talk with him. I'll be as civil as possible, see-" he pointed to the two girls from before. "I promised them I wouldn't do anything bad….after all…" He opened his eyes. "It's my first day and…I'm a new student."
I paled considerably. "N-nii-san."
He got up to Takabari-kun and smiled wider. "Hi, I'm Lee, It's a pleasure to meet you. Let's-"
The boy growled. "Did I ask you to introduce yourself to me? I told you already I don't care who you are, just to get the heck out of my way. I'm Takabari, Shu. I can do anything I want, boss anyone I want, and get away with anything I desire. So I'll say it again, . . !"
"Calm down. Let's talk calmly and rationally and get through this okay. There's no need for any of this violence." Nii-san smiled serene and extended his hand. "Come on, let's shake hands."
Takabari-kun snorted. "Please, why should I. Does a king touch a commoner, heck no! You have to do what I say and I say you get on the ground and beg for my forgiveness. Then, and maybe then I'll give you the privilege to shake my hands."
I saw nii-san's sparkly atmosphere grow triple in size. I yelped. Nii-san….he's so mad. I-I think we all might die today.
Nii-san only kept his hands up. A few minutes passed and Takabari got annoyed. He started shouting more and more and then nii-san smiled again.
"Let's shake hands." Takabari twitched at that. He growled. "What is your obsession with handshakes!? Are you stupid or something." Nii-san didn't answer.
From the side I saw the two girls call out to nii-san and have a worried look on his face. I looked back to nii-san.
The boy smiled again and for a minute I saw genuinity. "I just want to be friend. It all begins with trust and care. Let's try to be friends, Takabari-kun, let's shake hands." He smiled again and I was beginning to doubt that feeling I get when dangers around.
I mean….he was…I think he was…actually genuine. Maybe that's why I was freaking out, because he was…actually nice.
I felt some blood spill into my throat…..was that even…possible. I saw Takabari-kun look genuinely surprise and then look around embarrassingly. Then Takabari-kun did something unsuspected. He went to shake nii-san's hand.
I smiled, is this really happening? Nii-san's being civil, Takabari-kun reasonable. Wow, I can almost cry seeing them shake hands. This is dream come-
Then nii-san slapped Takabari-kun across the face with a pail. "ORRAYAHHH!","WAAHHH!"
…..
….
….
…
..
..
"EHHHHH!"
Liro
I saw the boy fall too the ground and let go of the pail. Then I looked at the idiots goons and raced towards them. I elbowed two in the stomach and pushed the last boys head into the sand.
The only girl looked scared and ready to cry. I raced towards her stuffed a cloth in her mouth and pulled her to my face.
"Shut your mouth. Just cause you're a girl, does not mean anything. I will punch you until you bleed if you as much let out a whimper. She shook and paled considerably.
I turned to the crowd, wiping that disgusting Tsuna smile of my face. I smirked and repeated the threat to the shocked, paralyzed crowd. "That goes for you all….Shut. Your. Mouth. And. Keep. Them. Shut!"
They said nothing. I growled. "WELL, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
They paled considerably, and then nodded furiously, along with the kids I elbowed (who put their hands over their mouths) and the girl, in my hands.
I let the girl go and went to the kid I slapped with a pail, ignoring Tsuna's exclaims and yells.
I picked him of the floor by the collar. He trembled and was about to scream till I closed his mouth shut and threw him on the ground. I put his head in an arm lock, keeping his mouth covered with my arm. "What's wrong Richie-rich….couldn't you do anything you wanted…WELL?!"
I swung him around and kept repeatingly slamming him to the ground, noogie-ing him, slapping, and pinching, and pulling his hair.
He started crying and eventually the crowd around me started trembling. Eventually the boy started growing limper and his face bluer. Tsuna came up to me and pulled my arm. "N-Nii-san your choking him, and bruising him a-and, let him go, he's had enough."
I smacked him away glaring at the wimpier boy. "Shut up Tsuna, I'll deal with you later." He yelped. I let the boy go and he started coughing. Hana and Kyoko came up running up to me. Hana glared. "YOU SAID YOU'D BE CIVIL AND WHERE DID THAT PAIL COME FROM."
I blinked. "I shook his hand, and smiled, and said crappy words before I hit him…..isn't that being civil….and I really don't know where the pail came from" She growled and Tsuna followed.
"THAT'S NOT CIVIL AT ALL! THAT'S LULLING SOMEONE INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY AND WAITING FOR AN OPORTUNITY TO STRIKE!" They both synced.
I shrugged. "Does it really matter."
"YES IT DOES!"
The boy on the floor started getting up, holding his cheek. He turned towards me, wiping the tears away and growled. "H-how dare you…d-d-do you even know who I am. I-I'll tell my father….y-your through." he started laughing. "YOU'RE THROUGH DO YOU HEAR M-"
I grabbed his mouth close and lifted him again by the collar.
"N-Nii-san!"
"Oi Lee!"
I ignored them and made eye contact with the trembling boy. I smirked, my most scariest grin and pulled the boy closer. "I don't really care about your daddy boya." He twitched and started shaking.
I smiled and continued. "Don't get me wrong, money does make the world go around…but that means shit to me if it stands in my way." I grabbed his cheeks with both my hands and still lifted him of the ground. "I do whatever the hell I want. I'm the ruler, I'm the head of everything around me, do you understand. You called yourself a king right? That makes you my enemy."
He started trembling and shaking his head. "N-no wait…Y-You like money right. Y-you said so in your speech…l-l-let me go and I'll give you all the money you want…just don't hurt me and do what I say...my dad's super rich a-and-"
"That is very tempting." He smiled and started shaking his head, his little goons followed suit. The crowd around me flinched and started backing up, muttering about a scary new bodyguard for Takabari.
"But, I don't work for anyone I don't like. You my friend get on every one of my nerves. SO No, I'm not gonna work for you, but….you can (or better yet you will) give me money…or I can punch you again."
'NOW THIS ISN'T EVEN REVENGE IT"S JUST PURE HASSALING AND THREATS!' The crowd around me seemed to emit with terror.
I ignored it and let the boy go, looming over him with a cruel look. "Nani~ why are you so scared of…..aren't you use to this…you do this to everyone around you right…I'm just teaching you a lesson so you can understand what you do to all these poor kids." The crowd looked surprised and started smiling. Tsuna and Hana and Kyoko looked at me with deadpan face.
I lifted the boy "SO GIVE ME THE DAMN MONEY ALREADY IF YOU WANT ME TO STOP! YOUR RICH RIGHT, PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME, YOU'VE TOLD ME!"
"H-HAI MASTER!"
'THIS WAS ONLY A PLOY SO YOU COULD GET MONEY. REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU PREVIOUSLY SAID…THIS WAS YOUR TRUE GOAL ALL ALONG!" The crowd seemed to emit again.
"…I-I kind of saw this coming…"
"Lee….y-you're so petty...
"…Lee-kun…"
I looked at the three and snarled. I let the boy go and pointed towards them. "I am not!" The crowd flinched, so did Tsuna, and immediately echoes of 'Hai's' followed.
I looked towards the school entrance past the crowd of people. The teachers had gone inside for a meeting fifteen minutes ago. They said we could have an hour recess today and would come and check on us every twenty minutes. They'd be here sooner or later.
I looked at Takabari and how his little goons circled him. They noticed my looks and flinched.
I walked towards them and loomed over, freezing them from running away. "Oi….the teacher will come out in a minute. You can keep your mouth shut and there won't be a problem, or you can squeal…..not that'll it'll do much good. Trust me…I know from experience. I won't get in trouble….like you always say…I'm untouchable."
The girl growled. "Just you wait. Sensei always sides with us….that's what we pay the school for. When she gets out here, you're going to get it. Y-you'll see how powerful the Takabari family is-"
"Shut up will you. It's like you're a broken record or something." For emphasize I picked my ear. Hana grabbed my arm, Tsuna the other.
"Lee!"
"Nii-san!"
I smiled at both. "Don't worry….It'll be okay."
The teacher soon came out.
She looked all around and like expected, came closer to the big crowd. I told them all silently to look inconspicuously….they did shit.
The teacher saw the students clutching their stomachs and crying and I immediately grabbed her skirt. She looked at me and I gave her my best 'defenseless-doe-eye-Tsuna-face.' "Sensei…"
"Lee-chan…what is going on…Do you know?" I nodded.
"Sensei, I was playing with Takabari-kun and his friends and all of sudden their stomachs started hurting. Do you see all the sand on their faces; they were probably eating sand before I came over. Then Takabari came running over, fell, rolled around hitting various objects, and started crying because of his bruised face."
'THAT IS SUCH A BLATENT, POORLY-MADE, AND OBVIOUS LIE!' The crowd seemed to emit once more.
The teacher looked at me and I just stared back nonchalant. Then she turned to the snobs and put her hands on her hips. "Takabari-kun, Yamato-kun, Sanada-chan, Aiba-kun, what have I told you four about eating foreign objects."
'SHE BELIEVED IT!"
The girl looked over at her with a shocked expression. "N-no way…Sensei that kid…h-he did all this!'
Sensei looked back at me and I shrugged. "A-all I wanted to do was play, but then they told me I caused all of this and told me to go away."
Sensei looked upset and looked over to the four. "I've had enough of you four. This child has barely been here a day and you all are blaming Lee for nothing."
Takabari spoke up. "B-But he-"
"Enough Takabari-kun, does it even look like frail little Lee could harm a fly." I picked my ear again as the crowd stared blankly at the scene.
"S-sensei"
"That's quite enough from you four…if I hear another scene from you all, no more recess for a week."
"But my dad!"
"Well you can discuss all that with him, because he informed, just the other day, to not bother him with useless facts, like his child acting idiotic for eating sand." Takabari flinched.
"Now, since you all seem to be healthy enough to argue, I guess a visit to the nurse's office is unrequired. I'll be back in another twenty minutes." She looked at me and smiled. She rubbed my head.
"I'm so sorry Lee. Especially since this is your first day. If anybody gives you anymore trouble, please come and tell me."
I nodded and smiled, as the crowd blanched. "Hai Sensei."
She squealed and got this stupid smile on her face. "Oh you are so cute. Bye minna, play nice."
Then the teacher left.
I turned towards the four snobs and walked towards them. They flinched. I smirked as I cracked my knuckles, ignoring Tsuna's and Hana's pleas.
"Keep out of this Tsuna…you of all should know the rule….snitches get stiches." Then somebody grabbed my shoulder.
I turned and looked at the tall boy who put himself in between me and the snob; Smiley. He laughed and gave a wide grin.
"Hahaha matte, matte, calm down. Cone on everybody, let's just all calm down." The crowd started clamoring about the boy; yelling and cheering 'Yamamoto' and 'finally someone can stop the demon'.
I looked at Takabari and his goons look with starry eyes at the boy. I smirked. I see…so this was the alpha here.
I made eye contact with the boy and slapped his hands away. He looked surprised but then he smiled. "Maa~ I-I don't mean anything by it. You're the new kid right. You shouldn't do stuff like this or else you won't be able to make friends."
I smirked. "Who says I want to be friends. Dose a king shake hands with a commoner."
'That's what I said…' Takabari mumbled form the side.
'Smiley' looked wearily at me and strained his smile. "N-now don't be like that. Let's just stop this. It's recess, a time to have fun. How about you just let them all go and we can all go play…I mean look at them….don't they look like they've had enough.'
He grabbed my shoulder again with his hand; though strangely enough was very careful not to put it very close to me. Then I remembered how he had all that baseball paraphernalia. So that's why he was protecting his arm. He was afraid to hurt his arm.
He must've sense it and tried to move his arm but, I was quicker. I grabbed his arm and looked him with a smirk. "Why should I listen to you? Unless you come at me with a serious demeanor don't come at all Mr. Baseball arm." He twitched but I sighted
I let him go and walked back to a worried looking Tsuna. I looked back at the boy. "…I'll do as you say this time around but next time, come at me with an, intent to fight if you want to say anything remotely similar to an order." I looked towards the boy on the floor.
"And you….sometimes you pick on the wrong people…you never know, I might be more special and powerful than you could ever be." The boy twitched. I turned to smiley and stuck out my tongue.
I turned and walked away at his shocked expression. I pushed the people in the crowd away, but not that much seeing as they parted like the red sea when I got close. "N-nii-san…m-matte!'
I ignored and kept walking towards the building. I went inside the building and looked all around for the object in mind.
"Nii-san!" I looked as Tsuna and eventually Hana and Kyoko followed.
"Tsu-"
"Nii-san w-what were you thinking!" I blinked at his angry expression….Ehh?
Hana came beside him and had the same similar expression. "Yeah, are you nuts Lee. That's Takabari. . ! Are you out of your five year old mind?"
Kyoko stepped up and frowned. "Lee-kun….that wasn't…that wasn't the best thing to do."
I pouted as they kept scolding and scolding me. I looked around and finally found what I was looking for as Tsuna starting naming the 'consequences of my actions.
I hit him on the back of his leg and he wobbled. "Shut up Tsuna and follow me."
Before they could whine again I jumped up on the seat and reached for the phone on the wall. I started dialing the number momma gave me in case of an emergency.
"Nii-san…what are you doing?" I looked at him and smirked.
"I messed up Tsuna. Even though I said all that to Takabari, right now I'm just a little kid, with no big power on hand. That Takabari will no doubt tell his dad and we'll have some problems on hand." Tsuna looked shocked and terrified.
Hana looked at me confusedly. "That doesn't explain what you're doing." I smirked in her direction.
"Ahhh…you are sharp…I knew I liked you for a reason." She blushed. I turned to Tsuna. "Quit spewing snot Tsuna…I said I don't have the power….I never said I didn't know who had it and would be willing to use for me on a whim." He looked uneasy.
"Just trust me will you? You'll learn something from my determination and desire for justice, if you do."
They looked at each other than at me. Then the line clicked. The secretary's voice came bustling to life. I smirked.
"Hey, Kirimori-chan….yeah it's Lee….can you put me on with him, it's like, super important." She hesitated, but I knew that she would connect me. Even though she knew I'd be interrupting his work, he had absolutely ordered; that every time me and mama called, we'd be automatically paged through to him.
Than soon the line went dead and the ringing started again. Not even one ring later the line clicked again.
"LEE!"
I smiled and cleared my throat. Then I turned my sad, pitiful voice on (Tsuna and Hana looked at me with disgust- jerks!).
"~Jii-chaaaannnn…"
Other point of view
The little boy stormed into the large mansion rather quickly looking rather mad. The four kids following behind, all dirty and bruised, stood a good distance away from the anger the boy emitted.
The boy growled. "How dare that lowlife kid do this to me? I'm Takabari, Shu! TAKABARI SHU!" he growled and turned to the corner.
The servants of the households cowered and scattered away, fearing the wrath of the young master.
The only girl of the group came closer and smiled. "That's right. That little brat is asking for social suicide if he really hasn't heard of the renown Takabari branch."
"Yeah, he'll get what's coming to him."
"He'll regret ever messing with us." The boy in front looked back at the boy. The boy whimpered. "I-I mean messing with you."
The boy smirked and raced toward the big doors that he knew, led to his father's study. He burst through.
"OTOU-SAN, OTOU-SAN, YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY. THIS LOWLIFE, MUTT BOY HAD THE NERVE TO-" he stopped as he saw the room covered by people in black police uniforms.
His father and mother and older brother, and all the other heads of the branches (his friends parents and older siblings), stood in the middle a man standing right in front of them looking rather annoyed.
"W-what's going on here?" The boy made eye contact with his father. "O-Otou-san…?"
The man looked wearily at his son and made to move towards him. The people around reacted and the man stopped moving. Soon, the door closed behind the children.
The boy and his friends were led to their individual family by the men and the man looking directly at the boy's father, more than likely the leader of the group, got up from the seat.
He was a handsome man, barely looking thirty. Slick back hair, olive skin, sharp features and cold green eyes; he was no doubt an attractive man. He looked hardened and cold with a mature aura around him, despite his young appearance.
He was utterly dangerous, and to the boy, oddly familiar.
The man looked at the boy and all of a sudden smiled. The boy twitched and a feeling of déjà vu came again.
"…little boy…..what did you say when you came in….something along the lines of an ill-bred boy." The boy's father twitch and soon the boy smiled and turned to the man holding him.
"Yeah….Father today we got a new kid and you would not believe what he did to me. He was rude to me and the rest of my friends and all because we were picking on Dame-Tsuna." The boy's father started sweating even more and the others paled considerably. He put a hand over his son's mouth.
"S-Shu…please….t-tell me you d-didn't do anything to the child."
The boy looked confused. "What are you talking about Otou-san; of course I did….just like you taught me to do. I threaten him, and I told him he'd get his when you were done with him. That little mutt will get his won't he papa"
The man and all the family around him blanched, while the black-dressed policemen started looking angrier and annoyed as the boy kept talking ill of the 'mutt-boy'.
The man had stopped smiling by know and the father had quickly stopped the boy from continuing. He turned to the man in front. "I-I didn't know about this…truly…if I had known that the child, my son had called and told me about, was related to you I would've nev-"
"So…you were planning to do something." The man snapped his fingers. Two men came carrying two different files. The man pointed to the files. "Do you know what these are….of course you don't?"
The man sat down on the chair. "The file on the left contains all the information's on all the people and organizations you've 'dealt' with, the right, the dirty path that follows the Takabari family."
The father twitched. The man smiled cruelly and all the policemen simultaneously turned n the opposite direction.
"Let's get straight to the point. Today was my precious grandchild's first day-"
'That's your grandchild! Just how old are you!' Emitted the crowd disbelieving "-And can you believe, my disgust, my anger, my pure disbelieve, when Lee called me to say that someone dare threaten my poor little baby." The man slammed his fist on table. The family cringed "UNACCEPTABLE!"
"P-please…Mareo-sama"
"Did I say you could talk?" The father stopped talking. 'Mareo' kept going. "Let me be straight with you….I know you know who I am, I know you know how much power I have and if I wanted too, in a blink of an eye, I can make your family go 'poof'."
The crowd blanched and the boy looked terrified looking, having heard and understood what was going on by now. Mareo smirked. "….I could get rid of you right now for what your boy did to my sweet and precious lee, but I'm not going to do that."
The man got up again and got close to the father and son. "I'm a man of the law, for crying out loud I'm the Chief of the National Police Agency; The Commissioner General." The boy twitched at the exclamation.
"I have so many things on you that can let me lock you up, let me make you disappear if I want. Even my men will turn their back if I chose to do so….I don't even need my police power to make your life a living hell…..But I'm not gonna do that…do you want to know why?"
They nodded wearily. Mareo smiled. "Because you will do so willingly…of your own will. You can stay here and be a good civilian, never messing with anyone again, not so much as a peep out of your family again, or you can leave and disappear and hope I don't find you."
Mareo smirked as he spotted the expressions of the family. "Now, now….don't be afraid. You should be happy Lee called me to handle this. Lee is a troublemaking-makes me want to pull my hair out child…..but I love that child, I adore Lee….I would do anything if Lee so as much asks it off me, no matter how hard I'm on her (I educate her, only because I want Lee to follow in my footsteps.)."
One of the policemen laughed. "Isn't it just because boss has a granddaughter, and daughter complex."
Mareo barked at the policeman and he backed down, laughing along with the others. He coughed. "Takemori is right…I-cough-I have an abundance of love for my child and my grandchild, but…" He growled. "I will admit….my….love…is not even close to as bad as that idiot son-in-law of mine." He looked at the man.
"You've heard of him I'm sure; Miro Decker, head of that notorious Mafia family. He would go crazy if he had heard this; would've probably gotten rid of you without a second thought. The only reason why Lee probably called me was from the fear he'd do something that grand and my daughter would hear of it."
Mareo sighted. "Even I fear my daughter's wrath, just like her mother."
The father gasped. "Y-You can't mean the Miro, Decker….the head of the Miro family, number two in the alliance and second only to Vongola…..y-you can't mean." He looked at his son. "Shu…Just how did you get into this mess. Why would you mess to someone that important to the Oono and Miro family?"
"Otou-san…I-I didn't know he was that-" The boy flinched. 'you never know, I might be more special and powerful than you could ever be.' "He…he told me…but I didn't believe him.."
Mareo smiled "Don't worry about that…I'm sure we can come to an understanding…how about you? Please don't be afraid….come…let's be friends."
Then he raised his hand for a handshake.
Liro
"So….. let me get this straight….after disappearing for an entire week…you come back, not even a least bit angry and want to willingly follow under me and do what I say." I said raising a brow as the four kids bowed in front of me while I was walking into the building.
Tsuna, Hana, and Kyoko (The latter two had started waiting for us at the entrance since two days ago) looked on disbelieving. Takabari raised his head up "Mad…why would we be mad Lee-sama."
I smirked and rubbed my chin. "-Sama ~Ehh….well…I could give you the honor of following me…if you so desperately desire." Then I laughed raising my head up.
The four laughed among me and smiled, rather forcibly. I looked over to, a shocked beyond belief, Tsuna, Hana and Kyoko. "See…what did, I tell you… Justice prevails every time."
'This isn't justice….this is a complete takeover…pure hypocrisy" The three echoed simultaneously in their heads, with bland looks.
"See Tsuna, Kyoko, Hana….what did I tell you…You have to trust me. Now you've learned a thing or two huh?"
'Nii-san/Lee/Lee-kun….we've learned nothing.'
I laughed even more getting in a kingly pose as I towered over the snobs.
The three kids hung their head.
'…Absolutely nothing…'
