A/N: Here is the next chap! =D
Tsuna looks down while holding the tail in front of his chest, his cat ears drooping from the sides of his head… he really wasn't paying attention to Reborn's explanations to Yamamoto and Gokudera and the stares they were giving him. He was thinking of something more important…
'Mou~! My hat flew away! What will I do now? That was just borrowed!' he immediately shook his head 'Well aside from that, how will I hide these EARS?'
"Ohh, so that's what happened." Yamamoto said putting a hand on his chin
"C-C-CH-CH-CH-CHOTTO MATTE! R-Reborn-san! Did you just say the only cure for Juudaime to return to his normal self is to get a kiss from the first person who realized he turned into~!" Gokudera felt himself blush
"Sumimasen Gokudera but, someone already realized Neko-Tsuna's state before you." Reborn said smirking
Tsuna gulped as he remembered this. More problems.
"N-NANI?" Gokudera looked really furious
Tsuna sweat-drops at the bomber's reaction.
"OI SAWADA!"
"Tsuna-kun?"
Tsuna looks around and was shock to see Ryohei and Kyoko at the entrance of the rooftop "Hiiii!" he covers his cat ears, he tried to control his tail to hide behind his back but failed miserably as it wags around.
"What do you want turf-top?" Gokudera said glaring at the sun guardian
"Ah sempai! What brings you here?" Yamamoto greets the both
"Sumimasen neh, Tsuna-kun, we couldn't help but eavesdrop…" Kyoko said looking guilty and then suddenly smiles "But you really look cute with those cat ears!"
Tsuna blushes, but he kept his hands on his ears.
"ANYWAY SAWADA! There's an EXTREMLY important news we need to tell you!" Ryohei said punching his fists in the air.
"N-news?" Tsuna said still covering his ears
"That's right!" Kyoko suddenly looks worried "The school suddenly put up a contest."
"Hm? A contest? Sounds fun." Yamamoto grins "So what is it about?"
"U-uhh, w-well…it's about…-" Kyoko was then interrupted by Ryohei who continues it instead and yells
"IT'S ABOUT FINDING OUT WHAT SAWADA IS HIDING AND WHOEVER FINDS OUT GETS AN EXTREME PRIZE MONEY!"
Everyone was silenced.
"H-hiding… you m-mean… nya?" his cat ears perks up as he lets go of them.
"Daijobu Juudaime! I'll protect you from those who would harm you!" Gokudera said with gleaming eyes
"A-arigatou…" Tsuna sweat-drop
"Ahaha, sounds fun. Can I be part of the contest?" Yamamoto asks as he scratches the back of his head
"Y-Yamamoto!"
"BASEBALL-IDIOT! How could you betray Juudaime like that!"
"I was just joking… haha."
"So how do we hide your ears Neko-Tsuna? Your hat just flew really far." Reborn said pointing at the wimpy brunette's ears.
Tsuna sighs "I-I don't know…" all of a sudden the ground started shaking "HIIII! What's happening nya~?" his ears twitch as he hears rapid footsteps "F-Footsteps?"
"They're probably the students who wanted to join the contest." Reborn said as he slowly elevated from the trap door
"Oi chotto matte Reborn nya!"
"Sawada! TRY HIDING YOUR NEKO EARS! THEY'RE COMING!" Ryohei said as he prepares his stance in front of the entrance of the rooftop.
Tsuna nodded as he tucks his tail in his pants and puts both his hands on the twitching ears 'How did everything end up like this?' He starts looking around 'I gotta find a way out of here!'
"Hey Tsuna I have an idea how'll you'll be able to escape!" Yamamoto suddenly starts pushing Tsuna, the others watches the both in curiosity.
"O-oi! Yamamoto! Y-yamero! We're reaching at the edge of the roof nya!" Tsuna was a step away from falling the edge
"Daijobu Tsuna, trust me!" Yamamoto said with a grin
"Y-Yamamo…to…?"and just like that he was pushed from the rooftop, his eyes widening as he felt gravity doing it's thing, falling.
"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" he was falling! FALLING! 'How could Yamamoto do this to meeeeeeeee?'
He could hear Gokudera, Kyoko and Ryohei yell "Juudaime! BASEBALL IDIOT! DIE!"
"TSUNA-KUN!"
"SAWADA!"
All of a sudden, he felt his body move on its own as he felt himself twist in the air, as he saw the ground nearing, he was going to die for sure!
But…
As he waited for the impact, he felt himself land on the ground lightly in a crouching position "E-eh?" then realization hits him 'Of course! Cats always land on their feet when they fall!' Tsuna looks back up with a smile 'Arigatou Yamamoto…' he suddenly hears an explosion and felt panic "HIIII!" 'Gokudera-kun don't kill him!' but he was soon interrupted as he heard, thanks to his cat senses, footsteps and voices saying: "Dame-Tsuna could be anywhere!" "I wanna win the cash price!", coming his way.
"Eek!" he immediately covers his ears just in time to see students appear from the corner of the building.
"There he is!"
"Arre, he doesn't have his cap on."
"He looks the same to me."
"Wait! He's hiding something!"
"Quick grab him!"
Tsuna gulps and immediately run away as the students follows him. It was hard to balance since both his hands were on his head, covering the neko ears.
He ran into the building passing to random halls, hoping he would loose them on the way, unfortunately, they were still behind him, catching up.
'HOW MUCH IS THIS PRIZE MONEY ANYWAY!' he felt a paper slap his face, he felt himself bump into a wall "I-itte." His hands were still on his cat ears, he saw the paper that made him bump into a wall land on the ground. He reads it:
CURIOSITY HIT US AND WE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT'S UNDER DAME-TSUNA'S HAT THAT EVEN HIBARI-SAN, THE PRESIDENT OF THE DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE, LOOKED INTERESTED!
Those who'll be able to figure it out first and give the details to the NEWSPAPER CLUB will receive 500,00 yen!
'The newspaper club? Where did they get that much money?" Tsuna looks up as he saw the students nearing to him "C-chotto matte! We can sort this out nya!" he said backing a bit, his back hits the wall behind him 'Y-yabe! I'm cornered!'
"Just show us what you're hiding Dame-Tsuna, it's not like you're going to die." Said a student
'Well it feels like it!' He cried mentally 'But they do have a point… why do I even bother hiding them… oh yeah, because they're embarrassing…' he looks up at them '…b-but if it will make them leave me alone…' He slowly removes his hands, everyone watches while looking eager… when all of a sudden… a jacket was thrown to his head.
"E-eh?" he analyzes the jacket, his eyes widen as he saw the familiar black jacket and an arm band that was written disciplinary committee/prefect (You decide, I really don't know what was written) pinned on the right sleeve. 'T-this is Hibari-san's!' he was about to take it off when a certain prefect appears behind him and pulls him close, he blushed and felt the familiar warm breath near his face as the prefect spoke in a deep but cool voice "No one is allowed to touch those ears but me." He whispers
Tsuna clutches the jacket on his head as he looks at him in wide eyes "E-EHHHH?"
