AiYui: Yoh~ and a good day to all~! :)
Ai: Ahaha… I know what you're thinking… You thought that this fanfic was already dead, eh~?
Nyeh, give yourself a cookie for being right!
No, really, I thought it was, too…
Ai: Anyway, this story became "dead" because a month had already passed but no update was up. Blame my ever wonderful final exams…yeah, terrific. =3=
But the burden's over, minna~! Here's a lovely update!
I sometimes think that no one at all reads this fic but anyway, I really don't care. This is my pastime, who cares?

(Yellow Lies happened after the Varia arc)
+ Chapter Nine: Commencement
"What made you doubt about it?" Hayato asked her on impulse.
"His statements…" Ryumi started to narrate, "…often have double meanings. He likes to say things that should be read between the lines."
"Like," Takeshi thought of something, "by that phrase, he meant that you and he should enjoy your last hours here, because his purpose in going here in Japan is actually because he intends to fetch you and go back home?"
--
"Takeshi, what made you think of that?" Ryumi asked him seriously.
"W-well… Just thought of it all of a sudden…" he answered with his hand on his head.
Ryumi straightened her sit on the chair and put her hand below her chin as if in deep thought. "Hmmm…" she mumbled.
"U-um, Ryumi-san? I do not intend to barge into your personal matters but…why are you so mad at Ikuto-san?" Tsuna trembled as he spoke.
"Because he's so stupid." Was Ryumi's swift reply.
Eh?
"He seemed to be happier when brother is dead than when he's alive." She answered looking straight forward, without even looking at them. "And… because he's stronger than me, that's why."
--
Dismissal…
(Does the pacing seem to be too fast?)
"Have you heard that there will be an animé convention on Saturday?"
"Really? I want to go~!"
"I am also going; how about we go there together?"
"Sure~!"
Ryumi's ears twitched. Her footsteps stopped and then she whispered to herself, "Animé convention…?"
"Oi! Hurry up or we won't accompany you home!!!" Hayato yelled at her loudly. "Hmp, if Juudaime weren't going to do this, neither would I!"
"Ah, gomen~. I just heard something interesting…" Ryumi said sheepishly as she caught up at the three.
"It's about a certain animé convention; do you know anything about it?"
*shakes their heads sideways*
"O-okay…"
--
So they finally reached Tsuna's home first, and at that point, Ryumi decided that she can go home by herself.
"You sure?" Tsuna asked her.
But even before Ryumi could nod, a certain silhouette of a baby appeared in a window upstairs.
With that kind of mysterious thing appearing, Ryumi couldn't help but ask. "Do you have a younger sibling, Tsuna?"
"No, why'd you ask?" he asked curiously.
"… Ah!" Ryumi exclaimed after a moment of thinking. "It's Reborn~!"
With that kind of response, Tsuna suddenly got a little uneasy. Then he asked, "You know him?"
"Of course, he's very famous you know! And strong, I should say…" Hmm… He must be the one who made me stay near the Juudaime… It was not coincidence after all, it was fate.
"Anything wrong, Ryumi-san?" Takeshi asked her.
"N-nothing… So, ja ne, everyone!"
Then she sped away…

"~~~~~!!!!"
"Mikura-chan, what's the matter?!?!?" Mrs. Ogasu hurriedly went upstairs to Ryumi's room to see why the girl was screaming.
"O-okas-san… what the hell is t-this guy doing here?!" Ryumi said while trembling.
Ikuto pouted. "Okasan, she's mad at me, o~!"
"Mikura-chan, he's your brother, right? Yahiro?" Mrs. Ogasu asked her, obviously not to understand why a sister would be that "disgusted" at her brother.
And he also made up a name for cover~! I might get busted at this rate~!! , Ryumi thought and wailed desperately in her mind. "Ah, okasan, could you please leave us for a while, ne?"
"Sure, Mikura-chan…"
--
"What do you think are you doing?" Ryumi asked him seriously.
Ikuto raised his head then answered, "Playing~!"
What the--?!? "I'm not talking about what you are doing at this time with Aoi!"
"Oh~?"
How stupid~!! T^T , she helplessly cried in her thoughts.
"When are you going back?" Ikuto's mood and tone suddenly changed to a very serious one. He kept on patting Aoi's fur, quietly and caringly…
"What do you mean?"
"Mom and Dad's worried already."
"I've been gone for only a month or so, Weak Ikuto…"
"We're talking about our parents… It's a different matter, baka." He sighed then continued, "I suppose you know that more than me, ne?"
Ryumi bit her lip. Yes, she knew all along that her stay's becoming a little long… So long that it already makes no sense at all.
"I'll return when you change." She said stiffly.
"I've already—"
"For the better," she added instantaneously. "I mean…"
Ikuto released his grip on Aoi then, in a fraction of a second, got hold of Ryumi's collar. "Isn't this enough already?!" he said under his breathe hoarsely. "You're delaying everything…!"
Ryumi looked away. "So you mean you want to become the Boss?"
Ikuto released her then muttered sheepishly, "It's not what I mean…"
Her eyebrows met in an irritated angle and almost immediately, pushed Ikuto away with full force. "Then tell me what you mean! Why you changed and why you deal with brother's death just like that!!!"
