Recap
"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?
"Miyuki?" The brunette paused, turning to see a grey haired boy catching up to her.
"Ryohei-san?" She questioned, wiping the sweat from her brow. Of course he would be outside, training, this early.
"I didn't realize you also get up this early to train!" Miyuki flinched at his loud tone, seeing Ryohei at five in the morning wasn't exactly ideal, actually seeing him anytime before eight was too much for the girl.
She sighed softly, trying not to get too irritated at the boy. "Well, I don't usually, however, Akira is coming home soon and he called me last night and said he's going to test me." Miyuki paused with a frown, failing any kind of test Akira was going to give her wouldn't be good. He was almost as bad as Reborn, after two years he might actually be more like Reborn now. "Since I'm babysitting this afternoon, and won't have time to work out later, I decided to go for a jog this morning."
"Akira?"
"Yamada Akira." Miyuki clarified, wondering if Ryohei remembered him.
The girl smiled slightly and braced herself, seeing the boy's eyes light up. It was still too earlier for this.
"Yamada-san?!" Ryohei yelled out, his eyes brightened at the name.
Miyuki nodded slightly. Akira would be upset with her, he didn't exactly favor Ryohei. While Akira is demanding of Miyuki and always expects her to work hard, the man is actually quiet laid back when dealing with anyone else. He never really liked Ryohei's 'extreme' personality and tried to avoid the boy at all times two years ago. She chuckled under her breath imagining Akira's red eyes gazing disapprovingly into her own green eyes.
"Do you think he'll let me train with him?"
Miyuki paused for a moment, before smiling brightly at Ryohei. "Of course Ryohei-san, I'll make sure to let you know when he gets here."
Maybe Akira won't be too upset, ahh who was she kidding? He's going to be furious.
"What are you doing?" Miyuki glanced down from the stove to see Lambo tugging on her pants leg.
The three kids and Tsuna had been at her house about an hour now, While Tsuna started playing hide and seek with them, Miyuki decided to make them an afternoon snack.
She leaned down to pick up the boy. "I'm making chocolate pudding for you." She smiled softly while sitting him on the counter beside her. Lambo's eyes light up as he stared up at her. "For Lambo-san!?"
Giggling at his reaction Miyuki continued whisking the pudding. "Mhm, and for the others too."
"Can Lambo-san help!?" Lambo stood up eagerly and moved closer to the pot.
"Be careful, it's really hot." Miyuki moved her arm to block the boy from falling over. "Here, you can help whisk it. Be very careful, I don't want you to get burnt."
"Gyahahaha Lambo-san is making pudding!" He cheered to himself while whisking the pudding.
"There you are Lambo!" Tsuna walked into the kitchen sighing in relief. "You were suppose to be seeking us."
"Lambo-san didn't want to be the seeker!" Lambo grumbled while whisking.
Miyuki watched as the pudding thickened up. "Okay Lambo, that's enough. You finished it." She turned to stove off and reached for the boy to set him down.
After being placed on the floor, Lambo stood firmly before Tsuna with one hand on his small hip, while pointing at the boy. "Lambo-san made the pudding, Dame-Tsuna can't have any!" He announced boldly.
Miyuki smiled while adding the last of the ingredients. Poor Tsuna, even children are calling him Dame.
"Lambo, you should go find I-pin and Fuuta. Tell them you made them chocolate pudding okay?"
As Lambo ran from the kitchen to search for the other two Tsuna turned to look at Miyuki. "You're really good with kids, Lambo doesn't listen to many people."
"You're right Dame-Tsuna, Miyuki would make a good wife."
The two teens jumped at the voice and quickly turned to see Reborn sitting at the table.
"Reborn!" Tsuna stared at the infant hitman, frowning. "Stop saying weird things."
Reborn looked up innocently at Tsuna. "I'm not saying anything weird, Miyuki will make a good wife in the future." The hitman smirked before continuing. "Were you thinking I was talking about her being your wife? Dame-Tsuna if you are interested in that, you should know you have competition."
Miyuki choose to ignore Reborn, it wouldn't do any good to argue with him. She reached into the cabinets for six bowls, pulling them down she started to divide the pudding equally into them.
"Huh?" Tsuna stared at Reborn in confusion.
"Oh, do you want to hear about your competition?"
"I don't have competition!" Tsuna yelled at Reborn.
"Oh? That's pretty bold of you Dame-Tsuna."
Miyuki sighed, why must Reborn do this?
"I didn't mean it like that!"
"Gyahahaha Lambo-san made the chocolate pudding!" Lambo spoke proudly to the two children before him. He then turned to Tsuna, lifting his spoon to point at the poor boy. "Lambo-san said Dame-Tsuna couldn't have any!" He stared hard at Tsuna with a slight pout.
"Lambo-san has to share!" I-pin spoke turning to look at the boy beside her.
"No! He made Lambo-san be the seeker!"
Fuuta decided to join the debate. "But it was your turn."
"Wait, Lambo-" Miyuki started to speak seeing the boy pull out his bazooka, though before she was able to finish he started to tilt sideways in his seat towards I-pin, Miyuki and Tsuna watched with wide eyes and the bazooka engulfed both children.
The pink smoke from the Bazooka started to clear away, leaving an adult I-pin and Lambo sitting at the table.
The older Lambo looked as if he were about to speak, however, the chocolate pudding before him caught his eye. "Is this your homemade chocolate pudding, Miyu-chan?" His eyes light up, while reaching for the bowl. "You haven't made this in months!"
I-pin barely acknowledge the group in front of her, quickly telling them she had to deliver the ramen and excused herself from the room. Miyuki glanced from Lambo to I-pin. She worried about Lambo eating all the pudding that belonged to his younger self, he was so excited about helping her make it. Though Miyuki also worried about I-pin, if she were to run off too far when the five minutes are up the younger I-pin might get lost.
Miyuki stood up from the table, making sure to grab her bowl of pudding and place it in the fridge, before running after the older I-pin.
"Tsuna-kun, please watch them I'm going to make sure I-pin doesn't get lost." Before Tsuna could respond Miyuki was out of the house, chasing I-pin.
Tsuna jumped a bit hearing the home phone start to ring. Reborn sighed in annoyance at his student. "Dame-Tsuna, don't just stare at the phone. Answer it."
"B-but, I can't just answer Miyu-chan's house phone."
Reborn sighed once again. "Miyuki's parents know you are here helping babysit, it's part of your job to answer the phone."
"But-" Tsuna cut himself off seeing the Leon gun pointed at his head.
"H-hello?" Tsuna stuttered knowing the gun was still pointed at his back.
"Umm, who's this?"
Tsuna turned to see the younger Lambo appear on the room.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi." He answered, while watching Lambo stare at his bowl starting to tear up. Adult Lambo had ate all the pudding.
"Umm.." The person didn't seem to know what to say.
"I'm friends with Miyuki, I'm helping her babysit." Tsuna clarified for the person.
"Lambo-san's pudding is gone!" Lambo glanced up at Tsuna, his eye's full of tears.
Fuuta stared at his own pudding, wondering if he should share with his friend.
Reborn stared at Lambo from across the table, slowly eating his pudding in front of the boy.
The person on the line was silent, Tsuna slightly wondered if he'd hung up.
Finally he replied "Is Miyu-chan there?"
"She-" Tsuna paused hearing the front door open.
Miyuki walked into the kitchen with I-pin in her arms, she sat the young girl at the table in front of her pudding so she could finish it.
"Lambo-san's pudding..." Lambo spoke tearfully, hoping to get Miyuki's attention.
"Best pudding!" I-pin smiled brightly at Miyuki. Fuuta nodded in agreement smiling at her also.
"She?" Tsuna's attention was brought back by the person's voice. "Hold on." He responded, turning to Miyuki. "Uhh here." He awkwardly held out the phone.
She took the phone from him and went to the fridge, pulling out her pudding.
"Hello?" She smiled placing the bowl before Lambo. The boy happily started eating the pudding, his tears finally stopping.
The person on the phone only replied with "Umm."
"Haha, hey Sho-chan! Did you need something? I'm babysitting the kids now."
"HIEE!"
Miyuki turned her attention back to the table to see Lambo pulling out grenades, Fuuta smiling happily, I-pin yelling at Lambo, Reborn drinking coffee (Miyuki's family didn't have espresso), and Tsuna trying to calm Lambo down for whatever reason.
"Sorry Sho-chan, I'll have to call you back, before the kitchen is blown up." Miyuki didn't give to boy time to reply, she hung up the phone and quickly made her way to Lambo hoping to calm the boy down.
"Sorry Sho-chan, I'll have to call you back, before the kitchen is blown up." Shoichi heard Miyuki over the line before she hung up. He stared at the phone in shock. She didn't say 'before the kitchen is blown up' with a joking tone. What exactly is going on at her house?
"Why is he at her house?" Shoichi frowned. Did Miyuki invite him to help her babysit? Why wouldn't she invite Shoichi? Was Miyuki replacing Shoichi with Sawada Tsunayoshi as her best friend?
The boy sighed softly to himself, trying to calm down. Miyuki would never try to replace him, they are best friends. He was over thinking things again, though he still wondered why she had invited Sawada Tsunayoshi over. Shoichi removed his glasses and placed them on the stand beside his bed, he fell back into his bed sighing once more while running a hand through red locks. He needed to rest, it isn't like Miyuki didn't like spending time with Shoichi, she did invite him to the festival that's tomorrow.
Miyuki stared up at Tsuna, her green eyes wide and her face bright red. The boy stared back down at the girl, his expression matching hers.
"Tsuna-nii, what are you doing to Miyu-nee?" Fuuta innocently questioned the two on the ground. Tsuna was holding himself up above Miyuki, his legs placed on either side of her hips.
"Dame-Tsuna, you shouldn't be so clumsily. Imagine if the wrong person walked into the room now." Reborn mocked Tsuna from the couch in the living room. Finally after gaining his senses again the boy jumped away from Miyuki, almost like he'd been burned by acid.
"R-reborn!" Tsuna yelled flustered, while Fuuta went to check on Miyuki. "Are you okay, Miyu-nee?" Miyuki smiled softly at the boy patting his head. "I'm fine, thank you Fuuta-kun. Tsuna-kun just tripped and landed on me."
"You pushed me onto her Reborn!" Tsuna complained to the infant hitman.
"I did not." Reborn spoke calmly.
"Yes, you did!"
Reborn eyed his student while reaching for Leon, on the brim of his fedora. The little chameleon quickly changed into a gun for his partner. "I did not." Reborn spoke again, this time in a firm tone, while pointing the Leon gun at Tsuna's forehead.
"Fuuta-kun, it's time for bed, okay? I'll get Lambo-kun and I-pin-chan, you go ahead to the bedroom." Miyuki moved to the couch Reborn was seated on and picked up both children, following Fuuta to the spare bedroom.
"I'm sorry-" Miyuki cut Tsuna off, shaking her head.
"It's okay, it wasn't your fault. Thank you for helping me watch the kids."
Tsuna stared at Miyuki for a few seconds before replying. "It's okay, I have a feeling you had to babysit them because of Reborn, anyway." The two sighed simultaneously, of course Reborn was always planning something.
"I really don't mind watching them, I'm happy your mom was able to visit the hot springs with my mom, I think they'll become really good friends."
Tsuna smiled, his mom really did need a vacation. Especially after watching the three kids all day, everyday.
"Hey, wait." Miyuki suddenly gave Tsuna a confused glance. "Where is Bianchi? I thought for sure she would be with Reborn, but he showed up here without her."
Tsuna looked thoughtful for a moment before responding. "You're right, she's usually always with him. I don't know where she is."
"I guess I better head home now." Tsuna glanced at the dark sky.
"Okay, thank you again. I'll see you later."
"Bye- oh, wait!" Miyuki gave Tsuna a questioning look.
"Are you going to the festival tomorrow?"
"Are you asking Miyuki out?" Reborn decided to pop up out of nowhere. Miyuki frowned, she should be use to this by now. Still, she preferred Byakuran over Reborn.
"No!"
"So, you wouldn't take Miyuki to the festival? That's rude, why bring it up then, Dame-Tsuna you could've gotten her hopes up."
"No, I was going to invite her to go with me, well, us. Since I'm talking Lambo, I-pin, and Fuuta. I mean, if she didn't have anyone to go with..." Tsuna trailed off awkwardly explaining himself.
"Thank you, Tsuna-kun. I actually have plans to go with Shoichi-" Reborn cut her off.
"Tsuna's competition?"
"Kyoko-chan, and Haru-chan." Miyuki finished dully, giving Reborn an annoyed look.
"Kyoko-chan?" Miyuki watched as Tsuna stared off, she was sure he was thinking about her in a yukata. Tsuna seemed to snap out of it after a moment. "You know Haru?"
"Yeah, I met your future fiancée the other day." Miyuki giggled to herself.
Tsuna frowned. "She said that?"
"She might as well of."
"In front of Kyoko-chan?"
"Yup."
"Dame-Tsuna, let's go. It's late."
"Huh? Oh right. Okay, well bye Miyu-chan."
Miyuki frowned at the requested video call, she hadn't even been logged in two minutes and he was already calling her and requesting a video chat. She slipped on a pair of headphones, not wanting to wake the sleeping children down the hall, and finally clicked accept.
"Miyu-chan!" Byakuran cheered seeing Miyuki finally show up in his computer screen. Miyuki barely glanced at the purple eyed boy on the screen, instead she looked at her face in the corner. Huh, that's a bad angle. Miyuki reached for the webcam and moved it a bit more so her face showed up in the center.
"Hello Byakuran." Miyuki finally greeted to boy back.
Byakuran smiled brightly, popping something in his mouth. Miyuki was pretty sure it was a marshmallow. "Miyu-chan, you look so cute!"
Her green eyes widened, her face turning a dark shade of red. Byakuran watched her expression amused before her picture when blank and his became the full screen. He chuckled to himself, knowing Miyuki could still hear and see him, he smiled brightly at his webcam. "Aww, Miyu-chan~ you're being tsundere."
"I'm not tsundere." She replied, not bothering to turn her webcam back on.
Byakuran pouted. "Miyu-chan, I wanna see you~"
She sighed softly, she might as well use the webcam, he did buy it for her.
Byakuran continued eating his marshmallows while watching the girl on his screen.
"How's Sho-chan?"
"He's doing okay, hmm, I should probably text him though." She replied, remembering she had to hang up on her earlier that day.
"Miyu-nee?" Fuuta stood at the door of her bedroom, rubbing his eyes slightly.
She quickly stood from her chair, taking the headphones off and made her way to the boy. "What's wrong?"
"I can't sleep."
Miyuki glanced back at her computer screen, to see Byakuran had ended the video chat. "Okay, you want to lay in here?" The young boy nodded, staring up at her with bright eyes.
"Okay, let's go to bed."
Fuuta made his way to her bed, laying himself on the side against the wall.
She smiled at him, and moved to the computer to turn it off.
