Chapter 9: The Explanation

~Afterschool~
"Kiki, wake up! School's over!" Sakurako shouted.

"Can I go home now, teacher?" Kimiko rubbed her eyes.

"Kiki! Tsuna and his friends are home!"

"Five more minutes, mom." Kimiko rolled over.

Aoyuki appeared. "That's not how you wake her up, Sakura. Kimimi, look! It's a pineapple!"

"What?! Where?!" Kimiko sat up and looked around. "Boo. You tricked me. There's no pineapples anywhere."

"Actually, Chrome's here. All of Tsuna's guardians are downstairs in the living room. Well, besides your husband and Hibari-san." Sakurako stated.

"Aww. Kyoya-chan's not here. Wait, so if all the guardians are here, does that mean it's time?"

Sakurako nodded. "Yep. We have to tell them our story."

Aoyuki pointed out. "We can't tell them the exact truth. There are some things that we can't say. So here's what we're going to do..."

~Time Travel to a while later~

"Dame-Tsuna. Did you gather all your guardians? I don't see someone here."

"B-But! You know how Hibari-san is!" Tsuna stuttered.

"Hm. Well, I suppose it can't be helped. So, most of the guardians are here now. Tell us your story." Reborn faced Aoyuki, Sakurako, and Kimiko, who were sitting on the floor in the living room.

"Like we said in class, all of us came from different areas." Sakurako stated.

"I came from Taiwan, Yuki came from Britain, and Kura came from Spain." Kimiko said.

"But originally, we all came from Japan." Aoyuki pointed out.

"We met up after a couple years for a reunion. We had our fortune told and were ordered to come here by a fortune teller." Sakurako said.

"We were told about the mafia and the situation with the Vongola." Kimiko stated.

"We've been trained to fight near the level of the guardians." Aoyuki said.

"We will support the Vongola tenth generation through its hardships."

"And that's basically our story."

"Then how do you explain Sakurako's appearance in Tsuna's room." Reborn asked.

"We were on a small plane to Japan and something malfunctioned so we had to evacuate the plane with parachutes." Aoyuki explained.

"I managed to land near a house, so I knocked on the door, but no one was home. The door was unlocked, so I went in and passed out on the floor." Sakurako said.

"We were all separated in the fall so we appeared in different places." Kimiko stated.

"... Yeah." Aoyuki mumbled, quickly glancing at Yamamoto.

Reborn frowned but didn't respond.

"Ehh?! So you guys were sent here to fight with us?!" Tsuna asked.

"Haha~ That must have been an interesting way of arriving!" Yamamoto smiled.

"That doesn't seem very likely. I say that we shouldn't trust them, Tenth! The chances of a plane crashing are less than one in every hundred flights! Besides that, the chances of the passengers becoming split up doesn't make sense either!" Gokudera argued. Sliding over to Tsuna, he whispered in his ear, "They might be UMAs! We should take this chance to observe them!"

"G-gokudera, I don't think that we should worry about them. They don't seem like a threat to us. I think their story sounds plausible.

"I extremely don't understand! I extremely believe that they should still join the boxing club!" Ryohei yelled.

"Eh?" Chrome softly said.

Lambo sat on the floor., picking his nose and ignoring everyone..

Hm. They don't seem too keen on letting Dame-Tsuna and the others know just how much they know about them. *smirk* Why don't we do this then?

"Why don't we have them show us their power to prove themselves? This will also be a good training opportunity for you guys as well." Reborn announced.

"How should we show you our power?" Sakurako asked.

Gokudera immediately stood up and pointed at Sakurako and yelled, "I challenge you to a battle for the Tenth!"

Reborn motioned his hand over to Gokudera, "Like that."

Soon Ryohei stood up, "Well then I extremely challenge Kimiko to a fight! Then she has to join the boxing club!"

"Damn." Kimiko swore quietly. "I'm not going to join the boxing club, turf top! So stop asking me!"

"Hahah! You guys got suckered into fights! That will be funny to watch." Aoyuki laughed, pointing at them.

Yamamoto also gleefully laughed, "Haha! Then I guess I'll be fighting Yuki!"

"...What? ...Wait, no! I don't want to fight!" Aoyuki cried out in disbelief.

God damnit all. Why Yamamoto? I don't want to fight him...

"Why does everyone wanna fight?!" Tsuna started panicking.

"Tenth! We should be suspicious of them!" Gokudera continued.

All of a sudden Bianchi walked in, "Sakura!"

"Geh! Sis!" Gokudera fainted right after seeing Bianchi.

"G-Gokudera-kun?!" Tsuna rushed over to the fainted Gokudera.

"What's wrong, Bianchi-nee?" Sakurako turned to Bianchi.

"I'm hungry, and Mama's not home."

"Oh...okay, I'll make some cream puffs for everyone then." Sakurako headed over to the kitchen.

"Thank you, Sakura-chan!" Tsuna thanked Sakurako..

"You're welcome!" Sakurako replied from the kitchen.

"Bring me pineapple juice, minion! You know, because pineapples." Kimiko yelled.

"I'm not your minion! But I'll bring you your pineapple juice. Does anyone else want anything?"

"I want an espresso." Reborn requested.

"Is there any milk tea?" Aoyuki asked Tsuna.

"Ehh, I think so."

"Milk tea, then."

Kimiko turned to face Chrome. "Chrome, do you want anything?"

Lambo interrupted Kimiko. "Ahaha! Lambo-san wants a grape juice!"

Kimiko glared at Lambo. "Is your name Chrome, you annoying cow?" She raised her fist.

Lambo's eyes turned wide. He stared at Kimiko for a couple seconds, then started to bawl.

"Hey! Don't make Lambo cry!" Sakurako shouted from the kitchen.

"Why not!"

Sakurako glared through the kitchen wall.

"He's just a kid! Don't force violence on an innocent child! Get him to stop crying! Give him some candy! I know you always carry candy on you!"

"Fine!" Kimiko reached into her pocket, took out a grape candy, and handed it to Lambo. "So Chrome, do you want anything?

"Ah...n-not really..." Chrome replied.

"That's not healthy! You need to eat something! Kura! Get Chrome some of your special tea!"

"Okay! So Ryohei, Yamamoto, do either of you want anything?"

"I extremely want some water!" Ryohei announced.

"Haha! I'll have water, too!" Yamamoto said.

"Okay got it! So Tsuna-kun, do you want anything?"

"Eh? I'll get it myself."

"No, I insist!"

"Gosh, Kura! Just get Tuna some of your special tea!" Kimiko butted in.

"Fine." Sakurako continued preparing the snacks.

"So, when Gokudera wakes up, you're going to show us your resolve." Reborn stated.

A tense atmosphere filled the room.

Sakurako came into the room with a tray with cream puffs and drinks.

"Did I miss anything?" Sakurako asked.

Everyone stared at her, but no one responded to her question.

"Did you get my pineapple juice?"

Does Kimiko ever get her pineapple juice?

Does Tsuna ever understand anything?

Do the guardians ever find out the real explanation?

Did you understand that we were lying in our explanation to them?

Heheh. We~ll, that's all for today's chapter.
