Chapter Two
"Tsubaki-san?" Tsuna asked. Xia made her way to the group. She pinched Bel's ear. Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Oi, you bitch!" Bel cussed. "Let go!"
"Apologize," Xia said. "Now," She let go of his ear. Bel brushed off his bangs.
"Hmph. Why should I, prince, apologize?"
Xia sighed. "Gomene, Tsuna-san,"
Tsuna blinked. "Ah! It's all right! Just call me Tsuna,"
Xia smiled. "How about Tsu-kun?"
"A-ah, any will do,"
"Tsu-kun, then," Xia grinned. She noticed Reborn and bowed in respect.
"My father sends his deepest regards, Reborn,"
Father? The guardians thought.
Reborn smirked. "So, that's why Varia's here,"
Xia sighed. "I didn't even want them to come,"
"I don't even want to be here," Bel muttered, as he was leaning on the rail.
"Ne, Reborn!" Tsuna said. "I don't get it!"
"Dame-Tsuna," Reborn rolled his eyes. "This is Xanxus' sister. The 9th's only daughter,"
"Xanxus' sister?" Everyone exclaimed, dumbfounded.
Xia laughed. "Half-sister, actually,"
"I don't get it but didn't Xanxus eliminate all his other siblings?" Ryohei grunted, deep in thought.
"You stupid turf top," Gokudera rolled his eyes. "But you got a point,"
"Ushishishi," Bel smirked. "The stupid boss did all that. But he left this idiotic flower alive since she was barely a toddler when he killed them,"
Flower? Tsuna thought. Oh, right. Tsubaki, or Camelia.
"Rumor has it that Xanxus is very protective of you. Some said you're his favorite sister," Reborn teased. Xia blushed, embarrassed.
"Eh?" Tsuna blinked. "Xanxus has a side like that?"
Yamamoto laughed. "I didn't know that Xanxus is like that,"
"Sh-shut up!" Xia flushed deep red. "It's not like that. Nii-chan is just... Well, just wants to keep an eye on me,"
I can't imagine Xanxus like that, Tsuna thought.
"Ne, kimi," A voice hissed. Everyone turned and saw a pissed Hibari.
"You guys are out of class. I'll bite you to death," Hibari hissed as he took out his tonfas.
"Hieeee!"
"Maa, maa. Calm down, Hibari!"
"Tch,"
"HIBARIII! HOLD ON TO THE EXTREME!"
"Ushishishi,"
"Oh, damn,"
Everyone ran out of the roof with a pissed Hibari hot on their tails. As Tsuna and his classmates reached their room, Hibari ignored them and pursued Ryohei and Bel. Tsuna sighed in relief.
"Tsuna-kun," Enma said.
"Enma! Ah, I- We- have to tell you something," Tsuna smiled crookedly. Enma nodded as Tsuna and the others told Enma about Xia, who was now mingling with Kyoko and Hana.
"EHH?" Enma exclaimed. "Xanxus, as in, Varia's boss? That Xanxus? And she's the 9th's daughter?"
Tsuna nodded. "That's right,"
"But Juudaime," Gokudera finally spoke up. "If she's the 9th's daughter, the legit daughter, how come she's 'Tsubaki'?"
Yamamoto laughed. "Gokudera's right,"
"Well, that's because I used my mother's maiden name," Xia said, standing beside Enma. Enma blinked and fidgeted, clearly nervous.
"Tsubaki, in english, is Camelia," Xia explained.
"The scentless flower," Gokudera crossed his arm. "Well? Care to explain why you're here?"
"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna called.
"Juudaime," Gokudera glared at Xia. "Why should we trust her? She's Xanxus sister. She could plotting something!"
"Gokudera-kun," Tsuna said. "She's not. I mean, I think she's not,"
Gokudera leaned back. "If the Juudaime says so,"
Xia sighed in relief. "Please trust me, Tsu-kun," She said, looking at Tsuna's eyes. He flinched, seeing how serious she is. She looks like Xanxus when she's like that, he thought. Somehow it's scary.
"A-ah," Tsuna mumbled. "Sure, I guess,"
Xia's face lit up. "Really? Thank you so much, Tsu-kun!" She hugged Tsuna. He flushed deep red and noticed the glares he got from his classmates. He sweat dropped. This is bad, he thought.
Xia let go and grinned. "By the way, Bel's not the only-"
"VROOOOOIIII!"
"Ara, that voice," Yamamoto said. "That couldn't be him,"
Unfortunately, it was him. Entering the class was Squalo without his Varia uniform. He had his long hair tied back in a pony tail, and he was wearing glasses! He had a polo on and black pants. His sword was left unsheathed.
"S-squalo!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"Seriously, he should at least drop his annoying yell," Xia sighed and face palmed.
Yamamoto laughed. "He hasn't changed,"
"Oi, bastard!" Gokudera called. Squalo turned. "What the hell are you doing here, ah?"
"You scums better watch your mouth," Squalo growled. "That trashy boss is going to die for making me do this," He glared at the class. "You brat better keep it down or I'll jab a hole in you,"
Instantly, everyone returned to their seats. Enma was frozen scared at the yelling Squalo. Xia was slumping on her chair, trying to hide her existence.
"Now, you brats answer these questions I'll write on the board," Squalo said, going to full teacher mode. He grabbed a chalk and wrote equations unfitting for middle school students. "If you don't answer it all correctly, nobody gets out alive,"
What's up with that? Tsuna yelled mentally.
"Starting from that scum, Sawada Tsunayoshi," Squalo hissed. Hieeee! Tsuna thought. I'm screwed! Everyone seems to think the same when they all groaned. Tsuna hesitantly went over to the board and picked up a chalk with a shaky hand.
"Juudaime!" Gokudera called in a whisper. "The answer is 56!"
"Oi, you bastard," Squalo hissed, standing in front of Gokudera with a deadly gaze. "No coaching, you scum,"
Gokudera glared at Squalo. "So?"
"Vroooiii!" Squalo made a jab to Gokudera. "You piece of scum!"
"Hieeee!" Tsuna screamed and tried to grab on Squalo, who was kicking his way off to murdur Gokudera. "C-calm down, Squalo!" Tsuna said, regretting instantly. Everyone was glaring at him. So, he's with Sawada, they all thought.
Tsuna sighed. School was over and he was walking home from school.
"Tsuna," Reborn said after a few heart beats. "I have some job for you,"
"Eh?" Tsuna said bluntly. "What about?"
"I want you to visit the Varia," Reborn said.
"Hieeeee!" Tsuna screamed. "No way! Not a chance! No!"
Reborn jumped and kicked Tsuna's head. I'll jab a hole in you,"
"Shut your mouth and get on with it, Dame-Tsuna,"
That can't be! Tsuna yelled mentally.
Reborn smirked, as if reading his thought.
"Just get on with it," The Arcobaleno said. "And find out what they are doing here,"
