Class Reunion
Chapter 7
By Shiki chama
"Er… Sir?" The maid asked cautiously, looking at the male guest in front of her. He had been silent for about ten minutes when she told him that bos- Young Master Tsuna was currently busy at the moment.
Busy hiding in the closet, that is.
"Hm? Oh, nothing much, just asking." The man casually answered, grinning as he waved his arms in a flipping manner.
"Mister Mochida!" A voice rang out through the door as a butler ran towards them, stopping just in time to prevent himself from banging into the maid.
"Ah, Claude." The girl bowed slightly, not moving an inch from where she was.
"Hello, Mai." Claude replied politely, raising his eyebrow as he noticed that the girl was bent on standing rooted at her spot, in front of the broom closet.
Shaking his head slightly, he turned to the guest. "Mister Mochida I apologize for the interruption earlier. This is Mai, one of the maids working here." At this, Mai bowed towards Mochida again.
"I see, nice to meet you Mai. I'm Mochida Kensuke, and I'm the representative for the Namimori Alumni." Mochida introduced himself, looking at the maid.
"Likewise, Mister Mochida." Mai bowed again.
Claude coughed a little, before bowing slightly towards Mochida. "I apologize sir, but it would be best if you wait here for a few minutes, while I go and check if the ballroom is unlocked."
"Sure, no problem!" The ex-kendo captain replied, stepping back to make way for Claude to walk through.
"Well then, if you'll excuse me."

It can't be. I must be imagining things.
Getting over his initial shock, Tsuna resisted the urge to sigh, moving his arm silently to retrieve his hand phone. Let's see, password is 0027, scroll to the right, messenger. Ah.
Hastily tapping on Chrome's name, he quickly typed in his message.
Who is representing the Alumni to come and check on the ballroom? Tsuna typed, frowning slightly as he heard Claude shouting something.
Sent.
Chrome blinked as she felt something like a vibration, but dismissed it as nothing when she patted her jeans. I must be walking too much. I'll find a place to sit down so I can check my phone…
Stopping as she walked by a café, Chrome smiled slightly as she entered, enjoying the breeze she felt as the glass doors swung open.
"Hello! Welcome to Clover! What would you like to order?" A cheerful girl greeted Chrome, presenting to her the menu.
There was a quiet gasp as Chrome's mouth opened, lone eye sparkling as she flipped open the menu. The waitress smiled, waiting patiently. Another satisfied customer~
"Um, I would like… the cheesecake… and the brownie… and the chocolate milkshake… um, what else…" Chrome muttered, finger sliding down the menu items.
"What about the chicken pie?" The waitress supplied, scribbling down Chrome's orders.
"Ah yes! That and the cinnamon cookies! Um, that'll be all for now…" Chrome muttered, eyes never leaving the menu. I can't wait!
Phone? What phone?
XXX
Tsuna sighed as he waited for Chrome's reply.
Five minutes, nothing.
Damn it Chrome, not helping me here! Tsuna glared at the screen, showing the latest message between Chrome and himself.
Chrome, help me get Mukuro out of my room!
Oops, not that one.
Who is representing the Alumni to come and check on the ballroom?
Tsuna sighed, looking at the phone. Easing himself, his eyes flickered to the crack in the door as light shone through.
"This is Mai, one of the maids working here."
Tsuna could easily tell that Mai was bowing, so he held his breath. He wouldn't want anyone to find him in the closet, Mochida Senpai or not.
Gripping his phone tightly, the brunette huffed silently as his phone had no new messages. He needed to know who was coming as the representative!
"I see, nice to meet you Mai. I'm Mochida Kensuke, and I'm the representative for the Namimori Alumni."
Tsuna froze, words sinking into his head. Slapping a hand over his mouth, Tsuna nearly shrieked; wincing as he accidentally bumped his phone onto the wooden surface of the closet.
"Did you hear that?"
"Nope! What are you talking about?"

Mai felt her sweat gathering at the nape of her neck as she 'conversed' with the guest. Twenty minutes had gone past. Oh no! What if Young Master Tsuna can't breathe in there! Maybe that knock was a hint for me or something! Claude, where are you?
Just as she finished her train of thought, the sound of leather shoes on the polished floor caught her attention. Mai sighed in relief as she saw the young man. Claude! You're a lifesaver! Mai thought, face filled with happiness.
Claude gaped at the sparkling maid. Something's seriously wrong with that woman.
"Mister Mochida, sorry for the long wait. This way please."
Mai watched wordlessly as Claude led their guest down the corridor, carefully steering him away from any tiles that might set off any traps.
One second…
Two seconds…
Three seconds…
"SAFE!" Mai sighed, nearly screaming in relief. She turned around to grasp the handles of the broom closet, knocking on it to inform Tsuna that she was going to open the door.
"Young Master Tsuna-" She stopped at what she saw.
Another pause of three seconds, and Mai dashed across the corridor, trying to find a camera.
Before coming back to shut the door, leaving Tsuna to nap in peace.
XXX (Because Tsuna sparkles pwn all.)
Gokudera finally -finally- managed to put on his clothes (without smacking somebody's straying hands away), and he ran a hand through his hair, adjusting his tie.
Stumbling out of the changing room door, he grumbled some Italian curses. Behind him a flushed and smiling Yamamoto came out after him, his clothes worn properly, fiddling with his tie.
Looking around, Gokudera raised an eyebrow at room. It was clean, neat, and he quietly hung his clothes on the hanger, feeling that he was forgetting someone.
Yamamoto fiddled with his tie, smiling his 'confused' smile as his tie ended up in a granny knot. "Uh-" Yamamoto looked at the strange ball of silk cloth around his neck.
Gokudera turned around at Yamamoto's voice, looking at the man. He was looking normal- thank god he always looks messy- except for the black thing around his neck.
The Italian paused, before asking hesitantly. "What's that?" He growled, looking at the strange black thing on Yamamoto. Was it some kind of new weapon that Giannini had unknowingly managed to convince the idiot to try? Or maybe something similar to a life-sucking creature? It is at his neck…
And nope, he wasn't worried about the shigure-soenryuu baka at all. Not. One. Bit.
Alright, maybe 0.0001%.
Yamamoto laughed sheepishly, noticing the way Gokudera stared at his tie.
"Ah Hayato, don't worry, it's just my tie." The ex-baseball player said, hanging his clothes on the rack as well.
Grumbling, Gokuera sighed as he walked up, his pianist fingers quickly undoing the knot. "I wasn't worried." He huffed, eyes focusing on the tie in front of him.
"Haha, you weren't? Sorry, sorry, but you looked like you were." Yamamoto replied casually, smiling pleasantly, not noticing that the shorter man was twitching. Should I? Maybe I should. I could use this tie and strangle him. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.
"Um Hayato?" Yamamoto asked, snapping Gokudera out of his thoughts. "Hm?" The Italian grunted irritably, trying hard not whip out one of his bombs and stuff it in his mouth.
"I keep thinking that I'm forgetting something…" Yamamoto confessed, scratching the back of his head. Gokudera raised another eyebrow, before giving the black silk one last tug. "There." He muttered, referring to the tie. "Now let's get out of here."
The two walked in comfortable silence, thinking about what they had forgotten.
"Mai! Where were you? I was about to send you to go and check on the security guards!"
"Ah, sorry Aya! I was helping Young Master Tsuna, so I forgot about it!"
Gokudera and Yamamoto glanced at each other, before walking up to the two maids. "Ah! Young Masters Hayato and Takeshi!" The two maids greeted them hastily.
Ignoring them, Gokudera turned to the one that he assumed was Mai. "What happened to Tenth?" He asked, trying hard not to glare at the girl. Mai stiffened, but relaxed when she saw the smile on Yamamoto's face.
"Um, he wasn't informed on the Alumni representative's arrival, so I brought him to hide." Mai replied, bowing towards the two guardians.
"Where is he now?" Gokudera asked impatiently.
"Er, at the main hall-" As soon as she said that, Gokudera immediately turned around, nearly slamming into Yamamoto before walking towards said hall.
Yamamoto followed after him, but not before thanking the maids for their hard work and giving them a friendly wave.
One thought lingered in his mind though. Why wasn't Tsuna informed?

Riding on the air-borne mini-mosca, Spanner was silent as he continued adjusting the wires in the board, careful to avoid the blue and orange wire that was connected the cubes that Shoichi was fixing.
"Shoichi. Are you done there?" Spanner asked, not sparing a glance to his partner.
"Uh, yeah." Shoichi replied, setting the screwdriver back in its rightful place in the toolbox. Gathering the metal cubes in his arms, he carefully walked towards Spanner, handing the blonde man one cube at a time.
The door swung open just as Shoichi passed the third metal cube to Spanner, and the two tensed, eyes flickering to the figure at the doorway.
"Ah, Mister Spanner and Mister Shoichi." A smooth voice rang out, and the red headed engineer sighed in relief. Spanner just continued placing the metal cubes in between the wires.
"Claude! What brings you here?" Shoichi asked, handing over the last of the cubes to Spanner. Walking back to his toolbox, he brought out a hammer, handing it over to Spanner.
"You sure that they're connected to our laptop?" Spanner asked, grabbing the hammer. Getting a nod in reply, he quickly held up a wooden board and started hammering it to cover up the wires and other electrical things inside.
"Ah, I came here to tell you two that Mister Mochida, our guest from the Alumni has arrived and will be coming here soon. You should hurry and finish whatever you have been doing and hide." Claude answered, running a hand through his hair.
"Oh, ok. Thanks Claude." Shoichi nodded, before turning back to keep his equipment and tools.
"Ah, all done." Spanner muttered as he slid off from the back of the mini-mosca, looking at the board he just nailed in place.
"Hey, does it look out of place?" He asked Claude, who shook his head. "Don't worry; I doubt that anyone would notice. Anyway, I'm going to bring him here. You two better hide before then." The young man said, waving to them before walking out in the direction he came in.
Spanner and Shoichi hurriedly kept their things.

"Tenth?" Gokudera asked thin air as he opened the door to the sound room, looking around. No one.
"Tsuna?" Yamamoto tried in the opposite room, looking at the empty room.
"Boss?" The two tried again, this time their voice slightly louder. Tenth room, still no one.
With each passing room, their voices became louder, until they were practically shouting.
"Boss?" Gokuera shouted out, looking into the cupboards, under the bed, behind the bookcase.
Nothing.
The two exhausted guardians sighed, slumping forward. Tsuna was nowhere to be found, and their calls were all unanswered.
That was, until they stumbled across the old antique broom closet.
"Do you think he's inside?" Yamamoto asked, fingers gingerly brushing at the wooden handles.
"Are you an idiot? Why would Tenth be in-" The door swung open.
"…There." The storm guardian trailed off, looking at the sight before them.
White cloak surrounding him like a blanket, phone tightly clutched in one hand, the other on his stomach. His breath was slow and steady, his chest rising in a rhythmic manner.
It was cute, to say the least.
"Uh…" The swordsman started, but stopped as he didn't know what to say.
"Yeah…" Gokudera started, not knowing what else to say.
What to do?
End
Ending was terrible, since I just cut it off like that. And yep, I kept Tsuna in the cabinet for this whole chapter. Not too much action for the Vongola Boys, I apologize.
And yes, I support Enma x Tsuna. Deal with it.
/Wanna take a nap now... it's 4.20PM here...
