Chapter 7:
Tsuna's P.O.V.
I was currently staring blankly in the classroom. I want to know what will Sumi looks like if her hair is down. Trying to ask her will do but I don't think she will let me see it. I was snapped back to reality when I feel a clipboard on my head.
"Hey don't space out Tsuna!" Sumi ordered
"What are you doing?" I asked
"I am the assistant director." Sumi said while smiling
"Oh… and what am I supposed to do?" I asked
"Help them of course!" Sumi said as she hits my head again
"Fine, just don't hit me. You took pleasure by hitting me." I said
Sumi stuck out her tongue and moves away. The class is currently making the props during free time. I move over to Yamamoto who is currently sitting and holding a script.
"Do you have a role?" I asked
"Yeah… I'm Gokudera's father here." Yamamoto said
"How come you have one?" I asked
"Hahahaha… Sumi suggested me to play the role because the one who will play it can't be here." Yamamoto replied
"What? Sumi did that?" I said
"Try to ask her if you can extra." Yamamoto said
I walk to Sumi who is currently checking the props. I tap her on the shoulder and when she turn around, I blush so hard on how close I am to her.
"Yes?" Sumi asked
"Is there still a vacant role?" I asked
"You want one? Well let's see…" Sumi replied as she scanned a paper
"What now?" I asked
"I'm sorry but all are occupied." Sumi said
"I see…" I replied
"But you can help me in other way." Sumi said
"Really?" I asked
"Sure, all you need to do is to check that box to see if everything is complete." Sumi said
I started checking the box Sumi told me. I sit down in a corner when I saw Enma approaching Sumi. My heart started to ache and I don't know why. Enma and Sumi seem to get close to each other. I was tap by Kyoko and I look at her with a surprise look.
"Look at me Tsu- kun." Kyoko said
"You're beautiful." I said
"Thank you!" Kyoko said as she walks back to Hana
Kyoko is really beautiful in her costume but what would Sumi look like if she will be the one wearing it? Maybe I should ask her sometime.
After I finish my work, I walk back to Sumi and she is now talking to Gokudera. They are discussing about something related to his role. When I reach them, Sumi handed me her box of Pocky. I remember when we are still kids; Sumi rescued me to the bullies who took my Pocky away. I don't know what Sumi did on that time to make them walk away but all I know is that she had successfully retrieve my Pocky. While I am reminiscing on my childhood memories, an image of a small girl with hair flashes in my mind.
"Earth to Tsuna? Earth to Tsuna?" Sumi said
"Oh… what happened?" I asked
"Second time of the day you spaced out." Sumi replied
"Really? Hey Sumi, can you let your hair down for awhile?" I asked
"Why would I?" she asked
"Please…" I said
"10 reasons please?" Sumi said while smirking
"Sometimes I wonder if you are Reborn's daughter." I said
"How come you say so?" she asked
"Nothing…" I replied
Sumi just laughed at me while walking away. I was wondering who that child with a long hair that flashes to me is. After classes, I decided to ask Sumi to have a small walk with me. She asks me why and I only told her that I only want to.
I bring her to the place where she had rescued me to those bullies. I look at her and it seems that she is shock also.
"This park?" Sumi asked
"Yeah… to be honest, I have a flashback of a small girl with a long hair." I said
"And?" Sumi is starting to interrogate
"And I want to remember." I said
"Tsuna, maybe that girl cuts her hair now." Sumi said
"Don't be negative Sumi." I said
"I'm not being negative." Sumi replied
"Let's go to the swing." I said
When we are about to go to the swing, we are blocked by some thugs whom I don't know. I feel Sumi's gripped on my hand. We are about to run away but it seems that we are surrounded. I don't have time for them.
"What do you want?" I asked
"You have a nice girl there." He said
"Leave us alone please." I said
"No… not until we get her." He said as he pulls Sumi towards him
I was about to get Sumi when I feel a full blown punch in my stomach. I twitched in pain. Though I'm a mafia boss, I still can't beat them. I look at Sumi and her eyes are full of fear. Why does every time I'm with Sumi, we always get into trouble? I heard Sumi's cries while I am being beaten by them. I don't want to be the Dame- Tsuna who always seeks help to Sumi when I'm in trouble. I suddenly heard two gunshots from a familiar gun. I silently thank Reborn as I enter my Hyper Dying Will Mode.
It is now time for me to turn the tables around. This time, I want to be someone whom Sumi can depend on. As I'm finish to them, I lean on the wall as I pant heavily. Right now, I was able to help Sumi. For the first time, I become useful to her.
"Hey Tsuna, hang on there…" Sumi said as she started crying
"Don't cry, I'm fine." I said
"Tsuna…"
I suddenly pull her into a hug. As rain starts to drop, Sumi helped me and we go somewhere to find shelter. I am thankful that when the rain pours down, we have found a place to stay. While we are there, I saw Sumi pulled out something out of her bag. It was a band aid.
"How come you have one?" I asked
"Don't you remember? I always have them since we're kids. Don't forget, I'm best friends with you." She said
"Right… you're friends with me. Now Sumi, what can you say about me?" I asked
"You're great!" Sumi said
"That's all?" I asked
"What else do you want me to say?" Sumi said
"Nothing…" I replied
"You know Tsuna, even though you have that weird flame in your forehead, you're still the Dame- Tsuna I know." Sumi said
"Say Sumi, how come that when we're together, we're always get into trouble." I said
"Because you're with me and I'm with you?" Sumi said
"Seriously!" I said
"I don't know but I think I'm always the reason." Sumi said
"Why do you say so?" I asked
"You really forgot everything." Sumi said as she sighed
"Then make me remember. What are friends for?" I asked
"Fine… You remember when I help you to get out with the bullies who are trying to get your Pocky?"
"Of course I am!" I said
"You remember what I do look like on that time?" Sumi asked
"I can't remember but I bet you still look the same." I said while laughing
"Wrong answer…" Sumi said
I was surprised to see that Sumi is undoing her hair. She had let her hair down. She looks like a foreigner. She picks up her bag and pulls out a hair band. She is surprisingly more beautiful when her hair is down.
"This is what I look like on that time Tsuna." Sumi said
"B-But why do you keep your hair tied?" I asked
"You are the reason idiot!" Sumi said
"Me? Why me?" I asked confused
"You made a promise with me that I should remain my hair tied and let it down again when the time you can finally stand up for yourself." Sumi said
"You remain it like that until today. But why do I make that promise?" I asked
"I suggested it. You are an easy target on that time and the kids who bully you around multiply when you became friends with me because I choose a no- good boy for a best friend. That lessens when I started to tie my hair because they wasn't able to identify me and I was forced to wear a brace on that time!" Sumi said
"You did all of that because of a childish promise? Sumi… I don't know what to do without you. You had sacrificed a lot!" I said
"So, I can now let my hair fall down?" Sumi asked
"Of course you are!" I said
On the next day, I was really looking forward to see Sumi. I feel like I am more motivated to see Sumi than to see my own girlfriend. I was smiling ear to ear while we are patiently waiting for Sumi. When she got out, I can see the different reactions of my friends.
"S-Sumi… is that you? Is the real Sumi was abducted by UMAs" Gokudera asked
"I- I never thought that you will let your down Sumi- chan." Kyoko added
"A certain boy here had complied with his promise." Sumi replied
"Y-You look like a foreigner." Ryohei said
"Minna- san, let's go to school. I don't like the feeling of being bitten to death." Sumi said
While we are on our way, we saw Haru running towards to us. Her eyes widen and I think it was because of Sumi.
"Sumi- chan! You have finally let your hair down!" Haru said
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Take a look at this!" Haru said as she showed us a picture of a younger Sumi
"H-How come you have that?" Sumi asked
"I have my ways. Besides, how is your life being admired by boys?" Haru said
"Don't tell me…?" Sumi asked
"Yep! I showed them this cute photo of Sumi- chan!" Haru said
"You are behind all of that!" Sumi said in disbelief
"Yep… by the way I got to go." Haru said
We continue our way on school and my classmates are really in agape to see Sumi. Their reactions are all priceless. While we are on the class, I can't stop myself but to stare at Sumi. For me, she was the epitome of beauty. I am lucky that I am friends with her.
"Guys, please listen to me, we are almost done in the props and I hope that the casts are ready for the practice."
The director is about to say something again when some students from different sections flood inside our room!
"Hey, I will watch your play if Sumi will have a part!"
"What is Sumi- san's role?"
"Gokudera is lucky to have Sumi as his leading lady."
"Minna- san, I don't have a part in the play but please watch it." Sumi said
"Anything for you Sumi!"
When Sumi successfully shooed them out, she closed the door. We all sigh in relief that there are no more annoying people inside.
"Sumi- chan, would you mind if I gave you my role?" Kyoko asked
I was surprised to hear that from Kyoko. Every one becomes silent when they heard about it. I was wondering if Sumi will say yes. If she says yes, I will be happy for her. Besides, she is really suited for the role.
"I will say no for your offer." Sumi said
"But why? With you playing the lead role will gather many audiences." Hana said
"I trust Kyoko- chan that's why I say no." Sumi said
"Sumi- chan!" Kyoko said as she gave Sumi a hug
We get back to work and I am still happy about Sumi's decision. She trusts that Kyoko can be compatible for the role.
"Why do you say no?" Gokudera asked
"Like what I've said, I trust Kyoko's abilities." Sumi said
"If you say so, but honestly you will really gather much audience if you play the role." Gokudera said
