Oh man, you don't know how many veraions of this I made because of Fantasy Man 2... The things I do for you people! Anyway, KHR doesn't belong to me so yeah.
Please read and review!
"So this is my parents' room, and I suggest staying out of it because I realised a few days ago that my dad had used Vongola Tech to create some kind of sensor to control who goes in. Only my mom and dad can go in without the room getting blown into pieces." As the brunet chattered, M.M stared at the ice pack in his hand. The Vongola brat, Tsuna, held it against his cheek as he showed the way around.
"Em...this is my room. The kids and Reborn generally sleep here too, so you can come in if you feel lone..." The teen blushed as he realised the implication. M.M cracked a smile of amusement.
"So...Tuna huh?" Tsuna let out a slight yelp of surprise, seeing as which M.M probably only started talking then. M.M was looking pointedly at the wooden fish hanging on his door. He laughed.
"Yeah, my dad got it for me as a joke. He always called me his 'little fishy'." The brunet rushed them forward, stopping at the next door. He grinned as he pushed open the door.
The room was clean. Its walls were white, coloured in the beauty of the evening sun, and scarcely decorated by a simple desk and bed. A series of window panes was engraved into a wall, letting the fresh breeze stream through.
It was simple, and clean. It wasn't often M.M would praise a room to be 'pretty', but this came close.
"Here's your room." M.M entered the room, with Tsuna hanging by the doorway. M.M looked at Tsuna, her eyes a portion wider than usual. He grinned, although a bit of concern shone through his eyes. The teen scratched the back of his head as he stuttered out. "Um, I should go down now. You look a bit tired. I'll, er, call you when dinner is prepared."
"Okay..." Tsuna smiled gently, before laughing awkwardly and disappearing down the hallway. M.M closed the door, laying down the bed and closing her eyes. She sighed, and tried to remember what had happened.
M.M winced as the brunet flew a few feet away, landing rather painfully on the grass lawn.
"Re-Reborn!" He sat up from his position, exclaiming in surprise as the Arcobaleno jumped onto his shoulder. "I thought you were in Italy!"
"I came back, Dame-Tsuna." The Arcobaleno stared at her, and she narrowed her eyes.
"Tsuna-kun!" The two girls that were in the house ran out, leaning beside the dazed brunet. M.M frowned as she felt a pang in her heart once she noticed how...attractive the two were.
She frowned. Why did she care? This would be only for one day after all.
"I'm fine..." The brunet stuttered out, his face glowing red as the two babied him. M.M snorted.
"Arara? Are you one of Tsu-kun's friends?" M.M whirled around, turning to face the voice. The woman was young, at most in her 30s, and her features could only mean that she was related to him. She smiled brightly, and M.M almost felt the urge to smile back.
"Ah, Okaa-san! Sorry, I couldn't tell you earlier, but er... could she stay here for a while?"
"Oh! Is she your girlfriend, Tsu-kun?" The teen grew flustered.
"No! She's just a friend!" The two fell into easy banter, with the two girls, "Kyoko-chan" and "Haru", joining in the teasing.
M.M watched them with mild distaste, before a squeaky voice interrupted her.
"You...are from Rokudo Mukuro's group, aren't you?" She turned her head down, meeting the Arcobaleno's eyes. Reborn, she remembered, was the best in killing. Quick, clean and quiet. He was a Mafioso, and she felt hatred and hostility for his kind bubble in her.
"And you're the dog of the Vongola." She answered easily, watching the slight frown on the baby-ish face. She smirked, before she returned to watching the normalcy of the Sawada Household.
In a way, she was jealous.
She sighed, running her fingers absentmindedly over the clarinet. It wasn't the one her Papa got her, but it was still a reminder of her previous clarinet.
She could feel the suspicion in the Arcobaleno's eyes even as Tsuna finally escaped the trio and led her up.
She stirred as she felt a gentle hand thread through her hair. She sighed in contentment, curling into the touch.
"Papa..." The hand froze, before pulling away and shaking her shoulder. She cracked open an eye, blinking several times before she registered that the hand did not belong to her Papa, but the brunet she inevitably saved. The brunet had a strained smile as he stood from where he sat on the bed.
"Dinner's done. Here's some of Kyoko-chan's clothes. Yours are, ah... a bit dirty."
She looked down at her clothes, vaguely noting the various splotches of blood and dirt. She would assume some of the red spots were from the brunet in front of her. She nodded tersely, swinging her legs off the bed and stood. The brunet scratched the back of his head before leaving.
She blinked, before her head cleared and she blushed fiercely.
What was that? Did he...What was he doing?
She shook her head, before pulling off her clothes to change.
As she left the room to go to the kitchen, she started to regret ever following the teen home.
What civilian in their right mind would allow their son to bring home a girl with blood all over her? Especially when said son was rather heavily injured?
She wondered if it happened often. The brunet coming home injured, that is.
"Ah, M.M-chan! You're here!" She was greeted with a blinding smile as the woman set down the plates in front of empty chairs. Sawada Nana was followed by a troop of children, each carrying plates of food.
It was quite a spread. Half the time, Kokuyo didn't even have half the amount of food she cooked in a week. Most of the money Mukuro used went into weapons, and it wasn't often they ate even two meals. Add that with the energy she propelled into healing the worst of the brunet's wounds...
Needless to say she was starving.
"Come! Come! Sit down! Don't stand on ceremony, it isn't often Tsu-kun brings a girl who isn't Kyoko-chan or Haru-chan over."
Behind her, Tsuna, carrying the heavier dishes to the table, protested loudly, "Okaa-san!" The kids behind him laughed, saying something about "Dame Tsuna-nii."
It was a bright household, and she watched everything mutely. She had never seen anything like it. It wasn't only her this time, and she wasn't surrounded by guns but by brightness. She felt uncomfortable, out of place. She would never be used to this. She shouldn't get attached... She would leave the next day after all.
"Here you go, M.M-chan." Nana's smile was like a sun as she placed a plate in front of M.M. She muttered a 'Merci' before biting into it.
The food was delicious.
After her bath, she returned to her room. She opened the window, feeling a slight temptation to leave as she watched the night sky. The stars glittered in the night as she enjoyed the silence of it all. "So," She froze. She climbed out the window stealthily, looking up the roof.
Maybe she would find something to get rid of some of this nervous energy.
She peeked up the roof, barely recognising the forms of Tsuna and Reborn in the dim light of Namimori. "What did you call me up for, Reborn?" The Arcobaleno gave a non-committal grunt, and she saw the lizard on his hat climb down to rest in his pudgy fingers. It glowed slightly, before turning into a gun.
At the back of her head she wondered how much it would sell.
The two fell into silence, and M.M wondered what they were up there in the first place.
"It's been a while since I came here to train you. I know you can make your own decisions, but I'm curious... Why did you bring her back?"
The Decimo sighed, running a hand through his hair. "She saved me I guess... I'm still weak."
The other snorted. "You're a pacifist." The Decimo laughed, and the two fell back into silence, albeit a more comfortable one.
"So, what are you going to do? Nono is getting weaker every day. You need to make your decision soon."
"I told you Reborn, I'm not going to become a mafia boss. I'm not going to let any of my friends be forced into the mafia world. Besides, even if I don't want to be a Mafioso, there's always Xanxus."
"...Shut up, Dame-Tsuna." A bang, and a yelp.
"Reborn!"
She heard shuffling as the duo presumably climbed back down, and she frowned. Returning to her room, she sat on her bed with a thoughtful look on her face.
She remembered Mukuro had been trying for the past few months to use the brunet to take over the Mafia... Maybe if she could provide that chance she could go back to Kokuyo...
Well, that was the longest I have ever written. Anyway, if you liked it, the favourite, follow, and review buttons are at the bottom.
Thanks for reading to the end!
