Hello guys~ Thanks to all those who reviewed/favorited/followed my ff! I appreciate it a lot. XD
This 1 week a chapter plan thingy has encouraged me to get off the net and actually start editing my work so I'll try to keep it up. If you could, please review my ff whether it's a suggestion, an advice or anything. It just really helps me update faster (motivation). :)
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Katekyo Hitman Reborn, or any of it's characters. I only own my OC and this fanfic plot.
Now... I think I have said enough so here is my chap 4~
Chapter 4- Mission. Me? A tutor?
Realisation hit me. It's still my first day at Namimori Middle! I totally forgot that I was even at a school for that matter. All these un-school like events have directed my mind off track.
I shouted, "DAMN! Bye! Gotta get to class!"
I ran towards the railing and looked down. There were windows lined along the surface of the building, and the closest one was only a metre down from where I was. The gears in my brain tuned as I plotted what I should do next. Bending over, I found that the window wasn't connect to a classroom, instead it was situated in the middle of a hallway. That was enough to get me away from this demon of a prefect.
I stopped supplying cloud flames and my rod decreased to the original small tube necklace. I slid the cloud ring off my finger and place it with the snow ring onto the necklace, which then was wore around my neck as usual.
My hands gripped the railing pole as I jumped onto it. I could felt the breeze brushing against my face and the fresh air filling my lungs. This place is really awesome.
"Continue our fight next time Hibari-san!" I shouted as my feet kicked off the bars. Using the railing my hand was gripped onto, I swung and broke in through the window, letting go at the last minute and holding my arms in an "X" position to avoid getting stabbed in the eye by a piece of broken glass.
Hibari's POV
I twitched. Not only did she violate the school uniform policy, weapons policy and crowding with a bunch of herbivore, she just broke another school faculty. As if the reception room wasn't enough.
"This is not something I see every day. I'll definitely bite her to death next time." I thought while I flipped open my phone and dialed the only number I had in my contacts list. "Kusakabe, get the damage cleaned up." I ordered coldly before hanging up.
Miyuki's POV
"Oh crap! Hope I'm not too late! Gotta make a good first impression on the teacher!" I thought frantically while I speed walked to the classroom. It sucks that you can't run in the hallways.
When I reached my classroom, I saw that the students were just settling down for class. The teacher was calling the roll and I was told to wait outside for the teacher to introduce me.
"Today we'll have a new student in our class, Sasaki Miyuki. You can come in now, Sasaki-san."
I walked in not-so-elegantly, my cloths still slightly battered from Gokudera's dynamite with specks of dust stuck on my face. Damn that octopus head. I scanned around the room for him and there he is, slouching right at the front row with his hand supporting his head like he couldn't care less.
I bowed, swallowing my anger and announced steadily, "My name is Sasaki Miyuki! Nice to meet you all!"
The teacher looked surprised. I would as well, if I was the teacher. "Sasaki- san, w-what happened to you?" she asked, raising one of her eyebrows in an accusing way.
"Ummmm... Nothing much, just dealing with a few dynamites and Hibari..." I answered coolly.
Gokudera's POV
"That stupid woman! If the teacher finds out about the mafia and Vongola, it'll definitely bring trouble to the tenth!" I thought, frustrated. "Urgh, she is definitely the stupidest woman I have ever met!"
Miyuki's POV
The teacher looked as if I have just triggered a landmine or something. "S-Sasaki-san, you have a very active and... bright imagination, you may go to your seat now"
Okay, now that I think it, the teacher is most likely clueless about the Vongola. No wonder dynamites might sound a bit extreme to her.
"Maybe the dynamite part is exaggerated but fighting Hibari isn't..." I muttered quietly while walking to the seat the teacher previously told me to go. Luckily for me, the teacher arranged for me to sit in the table right beside the window, with the sit beside me empty.
The students stared at me awkwardly, except Tsuna and the other two. Soon, murmurs about my light purple hair spread out the class like wild fire. Ignoring all the comments made, I settled down at my desk and got out my stuffs ready for the lesson. I was used to people criticising about how I looked, how my hair was all the way up to my hips and how I leave my hair down despite its length. People always took this as a sign of rebellion. If you get depressed about every single negative comment a person makes on you, a life as a mafiaso would be all too hard. My first lesson was so boring; I just stared at the blue sky and puffy white clouds outside. How I wish I'm at the rooftop right now... The lesson went fine without the teacher calling my name, not like I can't do Maths but I can't be bothered walking all the way to the black board and back.
Recess bell rang after a while, surprisingly the lesson wasn't nearly as long as I imagined it would be. I stretched lazily and took out my recess, containing my satisfaction as I remembered the way to the roof. Time to check it out peacefully! I yawned lightly as I walked up the battered stairs leading to the roof.
"Ahhhhh~ so refreshing!" I commented, taking in the coolness of the small breeze. Settling down, I took out my snack and began chewing on it. "I wonder what Tsuna and the rest of his family are doing..." I sighed, kind of hoping that I'm not the only up here." It would be much better with more people."
"You woke me up herbivore, I'll bite you to death." Came a voice not too far away. I swept around and saw Hibari a few metres away from me.
*gulp*
Again? His glare was intense; I guess he is in a very bad mood. No wonder no one's up here... This is where he naps...
"See ya!" I shouted again while making a quick run for the stairs to avoid another fight. Luckily, he didn't seem to be bothered chasing after a "herbivore" as he calls me, or maybe he wasn't in the mood. Either way, I've got to get used to this kind of school life.
Hibari's POV
"Midori tanabiku namimori no~
dainaku shounaku nami ga ii ~
itsumo kawaranu
sukoyaka kenage
aa~
tomo ni utaou
namimori chuu~"
Hibird came flying towards me, singing the school anthem. "I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me" I said, yawning.
Hibird nodded and flew off, finishing the rest of the song.
Miyuki's POV
Why is that battle maniac up there? Now I can't even enjoy break time in peace! Oh well... Can't complain.
I walked to class as the bell rang, signalling the end of recess the start of the next lesson. Classes went on with nothing important; I just continued staring outside peacefully until...
"Students, you guys are all having a Maths test the day after tomorrow, please come prepared." The teacher announced.
A series of groans and complains rang out through the class. I turned around and saw Tsuna looking desperate, all the colour drained out of him. Was having a Maths test that bad? Gokudera looked pretty pumped up... I thought that he found maths boring, so why does he look as if he just won the lottery? Yamamoto looked care-free as usual...I wonder if he is ever going to be serious? Sometimes I just don't get them...
"Silence." the teacher ordered just when the lunch bell came.
Students rushed out of the class to talk and complain to each other about the Maths test. I sighed. Time to find Tsuna. I walked up to the trio that was standing there chatting.
"Hieeeee~ what should I do? Reborn! Save me!" Tsuna panicked.
Reborn came flying through the window and landed a kick straight onto Tsuna's cheek. "No good- Tsuna, you fail as the Vongola 10th if a puny Maths test makes you so whiny."
"Don't worry 10th! I'll pull a night-over study with you! We'll get through every kind of question possible!" Gokudera encouraged enthusiastically. I faceplamed as I found out that getting to help Tsuna with his studies could make that octopus head so happy.
"Maaa...Maaa... It's going to be fine... Not that bad right?" Yamamoto said. For once I agree with him.
"Maths is easy. No need to freak out." I added, "As a mafia boss, these things are critical to excel on."
"Miyuki is right, Tsuna, you are pathetic." Reborn agreed.
"Don't interfere woman! I'll be the one coaching the 10th!" Octopus head commented, narrowing his eyes at me.
"I never said I will, but I can still help"
"Stay out of my 10th's way!"
"Your 10th?"
"Don't worry 10th! You won't ever fail this test when I'm here!" Gokudera boasted to Tsuna, "Ignore that stupid woman, she'll only hinder you!"
For a while there, Gokudera and I just stood there, glaring at each other, annoyed. Gokudera is so competitive when it comes to Tsuna, I mean Tsuna seriously need more work if he wants to inherence the Vongola X position.
"Sure… BE that way!" I replied after a long, awkward silence
"Miyuki, you can have a competition with Gokudera to see who coaches Tsuna" Reborn stated, tugging his hat down.
"I don't even want to coach Tsuna, I'm only annoyed because that octopus head is getting way too cocky"
"If you win you get ice-cream money as a reward of coaching Tsuna."
"Ice... Cream..." I imagined all kinds of special Japanese ice-cream topped with chocolate and agreed immediately.
"I'll do anything for the 10th!" Gokudera replied before I could even ask. "Afterall, I'm the 10th's right hand man!"
"Tonight at Tsuna's house, 6:30. Be there on time." Reborn smirked as he jumped onto the window. "I forgot to tell you that whoever fails, have a punishment planned personally by me."
"Noooo~ I'm going to be tutored again!" Tsuna complained "Why me?!"
Now that I think about it, it's not a competition just to coach Tsuna anymore, Gokudera and I are putting our life on the line.
-Night at Tsuna's house-
Me and Gokudera settled down at the small tea table in the middle of Tsuna's room, facing each other, pencil in hand.
"Vongola test 1 start! You both have 30 minutes!" Reborn announced, and blew his whistle.
The test was easy, I took slightly longer than Gokudera but still, nevertheless, passed with all corrects.
"Stupid woman... Not bad... But I'll definitely beat you in the next one." Gokudera sneered through his reading glasses. With his hair tied back and his black-framed glasses on, he looked much smarter than he did before.
The test went up to test number 18. The difficulty increased as the numbers went up but we were keeping a nice record of neat, perfect scores.
"I must compliment you two for going this far. It's way past collage level already. From 15 onward was mafia level and 19 and 20 are Vongola levels. Be prepared." Reborn smirked as we got ready for the test the 18th time. How does he expect us to do Vongola leveled tests when we are barely teenagers?
It was already 12:00 AM but our fear of Reborn's punishment kept us going without complains. Maybe the idea of getting to coach Tsuna provided fuel for Gokudera, but definitely not me. I already had seconds thoughts on my level of confidence, seeing as I'm barely awake. The 18th test was hard; some of the questions were so tricky that I couldn't do it. I could hear by the weird noises Gokudera were making that he's not taking it too easy either.
I finished just when the time was up, guessing the last few questions barely in the nick of time.
I handed my paper to Reborn just as Gokudera did as well. We waited tiredly for the result.
-The next morning-
I woke up and found everyone asleep on the floor, pencils and papers sprawled everywhere. *yawn* At least I can relax for the day...Oh wait... maybe not after all.
- Flashback of last night-
"Gokudera, you scored higher than Miyuki. You can start tutoring Tsuna starting from tomorrow, after dinner." Reborn announced, "Miyuki, you are going with me to receive some training tomorrow morning. I expected more from you."
It felt as if a big rock just made a dent in my pride. But still, I'm going to prove to Gokudera one day that being a right-hand man doesn't necessarily mean being so stuck up. Okay, I might not be as smart as Gokudera, but what did I do to deserve Reborn's training? His expectations are sometimes too high for me.
As much as I wanted to spend the night calculating tactics to get out of training, my eyes protested and blurred. Tick tock was the last thing I heard. The sound of time passing.
-End of last night's flashback-
I gulped and looked around to see Reborn fast asleep on his miniature hammock. If I'm quiet enough, I might be able to sneak out of here just in time and spend my morning somewhere Reborn can't find me. However, that plan shattered right when I stood up.
"Where do you think you're going? Training will start now." Reborn hopped onto my shoulder swiftly. I winced at the thought of what was going to happen next.
This chapter turned out to be longer than I expected, and a lot different to the original draft too. Overall, I'm quite satisfied on where this ff is heading and I hope you are too :)
Oh, and everything mentioned in here will probably make more sense later on... for example the girl beside Miyuki in the photo frame and lots of other things yet to be mentioned...
