Recap
"You got here in 5.7 seconds. You passed." Reborn suddenly popped up behind Tsuna.
"HIIE! Reborn! Wait, Miyu-chan was never in any danger?" Tsuna stared at Reborn, he knew he really shouldn't of been surprised. Though he couldn't help the surprised look on his face.
"I wanted to see how long it would take you to get to someone in danger, I found out Miyuki was in the park with her best friend and thought it'd be a good time to test you."
Tsuna dropped to the ground. He probably really embarrassed Miyuki and in front of her best friend. She probably wouldn't be eating lunch at his house tomorrow. He'd be surprised if she decides to even speak to him for the next few days. He would have to really apologize the next time he sees her.
Shoichi stared at Miyuki as her fingers moved rapidly across her keyboard. He knew she was arguing with Byakuran about him spending money to buy her a webcam. He probably would be doing the same thing if he were in Byakuran's place. Shoichi's eyes widened shocked by his own thoughts, shaking his head trying to forget it. Actually Byakuran is a lot bolder than Shoichi is, sure Shoichi would probably want to get her a webcam to see her everyday. However, he'd never be able to actually go through with it, he wouldn't be able to just be as blunt as Byakuran is about missing seeing Miyuki's 'adorable blush when teased'.
Shoichi glanced away from Miyuki, who had started scowling at the computer. Who was that strange boy today? He tackled her, while wearing nothing but boxers. Sure, Shoichi thought Byakuran was weird, but he'd much rather see Miyuki spending time with Byakuran than with the strange boy in the park. He also didn't fail to notice the strange boy was also full of bruises, was Miyuki with him when she got hurt? Was he the one who hurt her? Did Miyuki have to fight him off? Didn't she say she might go to his house for lunch tomorrow though? Why would she want to be around a pervert like that?!
Miyuki had turned away from her computer after losing the argument with Byakuran. She knew deep down she wouldn't be able to win it, especially since he'd already bought the webcam. Currently Miyuki was watching her best friend, a wide range of emotions were flashing across his face. She'd probably been watching him arguing with himself for around five minutes now.
"Sho-chan" I spoke up getting the red head's attention. His troubled expression quickly changed into a questioning stare. "What's bothering you?" I questioned while twisting in my swivel chair. His eyes followed the movement of the chair for a minute or two before answering. "That boy in the park-" I quickly cut him off before he could continue. "He's a good friend of mine, Shoichi. He's actually a lot like you." Shoichi gave me a look of disbelief at that.
"Oh, he's messaging me again." I spoke turning my chair back around with an unimpressed look.
Byakuran
You should get it tomorrow.
Miyuki
I doubt it'll ship that fast. -.-
Byakuran
Miyu-chan you shouldn't doubt me, it hurts my feelings. ( ̄^ ̄)
I paid extra so it'll get there tomorrow.
Miyuki
Byakuran! You wasted more money on me!
Byakuran
Tell Sho-chan I said hello.
I frowned at the computer screen and turned my chair to look at Shoichi, who'd sat down on my bed. "Do you talk to Byakuran?" He looked up from the book he'd been reading. "No, I haven't spoken to him since we left Tokyo." I looked at Shoichi for a minute longer before turning back to my computer.
Miyuki is currently offline.
"Are you spending the night?" I watched as Shoichi's face turned a dark shade of red.
"Sho-chan, we just spent a weekend together in Tokyo. You've spent the night here plenty of times before, why are you still embarrassed about spending the night?" I nudged him in the side when he refused to look at me.
"Miyu-chan, I'm home!" I turned away from Shoichi and headed towards my bedroom door, opening it to call back.
"I'm upstairs with Sho-chan, did you need something?" My mom never mentions when she arrives home unless she needs something. I started to head to the staircase.
"I met a nice lady while grocery shopping today."
"Uh-huh."
I seated myself on the top step, waiting for her to continue.
"Her husband works often too, it seems it's away a lot more than your father is though." Where was she going with this?
"Eisuke always gives me gift certificates, for a hot spring he gets from work. You never want to go with me."
When I had to shop for underwear with my mother it was always extremely embarrassing. She'd always make small comments that were not needed. After speaking to Kyoko and Hana about it, apparently their mothers did the same. So now we always go shopping together, to avoid embarrassment. I worry my mother will be just as embarrassing at a hot spring.
"So I invited her to go, however, she has three children she has to take care of." I didn't like where this was going.
"I told her you could babysit, it's just a two day trip. You don't might right Miyu-chan?" My mother looked up at me with a smile. I felt myself tense looking into her eyes. She's scary.
"T-that's fine." No, it isn't fine. I don't know the kids, are any of them babies?
"You'll meet them before the trip, don't worry."
Shoichi sat beside Miyuki while she was pouting. He'd heard the conversation and decided not to comment on it, either way, she's going to be babysitting this weekend. His face started to heat up when he noticed how close his hand was to hers on the bed.
"Hello?" Shoichi looked up to see Miyuki answering her phone.
"The summer festival?"
"Sure, I'll go with you!"
Miyuki laughed at something they said.
Shoichi frowned, who is she going with? Is it that guy from before? Shoichi didn't trust him, and he didn't understand how he was anything like that pervert. Miyuki glanced at him from the corner of her eye. "Do you mind if I bring Sho-chan? Okay great! I can't wait to meet her."
"Sorry, that was Kyoko-chan. She asked me to go with her and a friend, you don't have to go. I just figured you didn't want to go alone."
"What about the kids you're babysitting?"
"Well, mom and the lady should be back before then. Wanna go to town with me? I need a Yukata, also, let's ask mom if you can stay the night." Miyuki reached for Shoichi's arm pulling him off the bed with her.
"Wait, I didn't say I would spend the night!"
"Mom, I need to get a Yukata could I get some money?" I questioned my mother walking into the kitchen with Shoichi behind me.
"Oh sure! Are you going with Sho-chan to the festival."
"Yeah-" She cut me off before I could continue.
"I remember going with your father when I was your age!" She smiled brightly at us.
My eyes widened at her statement and I felt Shoichi tense beside me.
"Saito-san, it's not like that." Shoichi spoke, his face red and starting to grab his stomach in pain. I sighed, poor Shoichi. Maybe he'll get over those stomach aches eventually.
"Mom, we are meeting Kyoko and another friend there. Stop assuming strange things." She frowned at my reply, while pouting. "Miyu-chan, it wouldn't be a strange thing to assume. Oh! Do you like that boy that was here earlier? It was so sweet of him helping you like-" I quickly cut her off annoyed. "No, stop it Mom. Please."
She sighed while picking up her purse. "I'm just saying, I met your father when I was your age." She held out the money as she spoke. "Thank you." I took the money from her while ignoring what she said.
"Let's go, Shoichi."
"I can't believe she said that, it's so embarrassing. She's worst than Byakuran." I glanced at Shoichi as we walked towards a small shop that sells Yukatas. Shoichi nodded with an uneasy expression. I stopped seeing he actually looked upset.
"Shoichi, what's wrong? Was it what she said? Don't worry about it. Mom just loves embarrassing me." He looked shocked for a moment. "Nothing's wrong, don't worry so much Miyu-chan. I know how your mom is, it doesn't bother me. Though it is a bit embarrassing I'm used to it."
"Miyu-chan?" I turned when I heard someone behind me.
"Kyoko-chan, how are you?" I smiled seeing Kyoko with a brown haired girl beside her.
"Hahi? You're Miyuki? Oh you're really pretty." The brown haired girl smiled brightly at me.
"Oh this is Haru-chan." Kyoko introduced me to the girl.
"It's nice to meet you, Haru-chan. Thank you, you are also pretty." I smiled while slightly bowing to her. Haru smiled brightly at me and then glanced behind me, looking at Shoichi.
"This is Shoichi, we were heading to a store that has Yukatas."
"Hi Shoichi, it's nice to see you again." Shoichi looked away from Kyoko embarrassed while mumbling a greeting. Kyoko met Shoichi a few times before when we'd run into each other while in town.
"Hahi! Are we interrupting your date?!" Haru exclaimed.
Shoichi's face darkened and he bent over in pain once again. I sighed seeing it and tried ignoring the slight blush on my own face. Can't a guy and girl be just friends? I noticed Kyoko giggling at us.
"No, we're just friends." Haru looked between the two of us before nodding.
"We are going to pick out some Yukatas too, could we join you?" Kyoko asked me, smiling brightly.
I didn't know how long it'd take for three girls to pick out the right Yukata, I really didn't want Shoichi to have to suffer and wait for us. I nudged Shoichi in the side. "Since Kyoko and Haru are here, you can go home if you want." He gave me a thoughtful look.
"Umm, do you want me to stay or leave?" Shoichi glanced down as he spoke.
"Whatever you want Sho-chan."
"Miyu-chan, do you have plans tomorrow? Hana is coming over for lunch, maybe you could come too?" Kyoko smiled kindly.
"Actually, Tsuna-kun's mother invited me to lunch tomorrow. I'm sorry, I promise I'll find time for you two before school starts back." I really started to feel bad about having plans when they wanted to invite me over.
"Hahi?! You know Tsuna-kun and you're having lunch at his house?" Haru stared at me her eyes wide in shock.
"Umm, yeah."
Haru then went on to tell me her life plan with Tsuna. I stepped back accidentally bumping into Shoichi as Haru was animatedly speaking of Tsuna. Shoichi reached for my shoulders so I would fall and gave me a strange look. However I was more worried about Haru, didn't she know Tsuna had feelings for Kyoko? I was pretty sure he still likes her, his eyes did light up when I mentioned her name earlier today.
"So, you're spending the night." Miyuki stared at the red head sitting across from her on the swivel chair, causing the boy's eyes to widen. "That wasn't a question." Shoichi finally spoke up after a short pause. The girl's green eyes brightened almost as if she was enjoying seeing the boy squirm under her gaze. He almost pouted at that thought, she probably was enjoying it.
"I know."
Shoichi sighed knowing there was no use arguing with Miyuki when she got like this.
"I'll have to call my mom and ask her."
Miyuki just stared at the boy blinking, which he translated into 'Well, hurry up and call her, Sho-chan.' He was starting to believe he spent too much time with her.
I sat in Tsuna's bedroom, watching Gokudera arguing with Yamamoto. Honestly I'm impressed with Yamamoto's ability to stay calm and not let the silver haired boy bother him.
"Didn't you have plans today? I was surprised when you showed up at lunch." Yamamoto suddenly turned to look at me, ignoring whatever Gokudera had been complaining about.
"Oh, I saw Kyoko-chan yesterday and we spent some time together shopping for Yukatas. I had said I didn't know if I would be able to make it to lunch because Kyoko-chan had wanted me to spend some time with her, though I still haven't seen Hana-chan since I got back from Tokyo. Anyway, since Nana-san made sure to invite all of us I didn't want to be rude and not come." Of course I failed to mention that the way Reborn had said 'it would be rude to ignore her invitation' played a big role in me actually going.
Tsuna walked into the room and sat beside me, not saying anything.
"Are you okay?" I nudged his side to get his attention.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Mom just told me she's going with a friend Friday to some hot springs, I was just wondering if I'll be watching the kids." He mumbled.
Gokudera jumped from his seat and turned to Tsuna. "I'll help you watch them, Juudaime!"
"Haha, I can help too!" Yamamoto spoke cheerfully.
"Baseball idiot, Juudaime doesn't need your help!" Gokudera growled out. Yamamoto's expression changed to one of confusion at Gokudera's statement. "Wouldn't it be easier with more people? You don't exactly get along with Lambo so..." He trailed off, smiling at the furious bomber.
"Ciaossu."
Reborn stood on the small table and looked towards Tsuna.
"You won't be watching them, Miyuki will."
Tsuna turned to give me a question look. I stared at Reborn thoughtfully for a moment before speaking up. "So the woman my mom met while shopping was Nana-san? I was worried when my mom told me I'll be babysitting three kids, I feel much better knowing it's Lambo, I-Pin and Fuuta."
"Mom shouldn't just let anyone babysit them though, what if it was some strange person? I can't believe she agreed to that."
"I know, when mom told me last night, I thought the same thing. Apparently I am suppose to meet Nana-san before that, umm, I'll go down stairs and tell her it's me so she doesn't have to go out of her way." I started to head downstairs to inform Tsuna's mother.
"Do you have something to do with this?" Tsuna turned to Reborn as soon as Miyuki left the room.
"Mama needs a vacation." Reborn spoke sipping some espresso.
"Why is Miyuki babysitting though? I'm sure she has better things to do, they shouldn't be her responsibility." Tsuna frowned at Reborn.
"You're right Dame-Tsuna." Reborn started. Tsuna's eyes widened realizing Reborn was up to something. "You should help her watch them."
"B-But they are spending the night at her house." Tsuna looked beyond uncomfortable.
"Nobody said you were spending the night, you can go home when she puts them to bed."
"But-" Tsuna quickly cut himself off when the Leon gun was pointed at his face.
"I'll help you Juudaime!"
"Me too." Gokudera glared at Yamamoto once again.
"No, I'm sure Miyuki's parents wouldn't like three boys staying with their daughter."
At that Gokudera and Yamamoto looked uneasy, though it was clear they both wanted to help Tsuna.
"Tsuna, you don't have to help. If it really bothers you that much I can ask Sho-chan to help me." Miyuki stood in the doorway, she'd just got back from speaking with Nana.
"No, Tsuna is going to help you. Lambo can be a handful, it's best if he helps you since he's use to dealing with him." Reborn's tone didn't leave any room for argument.
Tsuna and Miyuki glanced at each other, they seemed to be thinking the same thing.
What is Reborn planning?
