Target 006: Gokudera Hayato

Kyoko and Hana dragged Tsuru off to the Sasagawa household. She was bracing for the worst, scared of what tortue they were planning to put her in.

Once they reached Kyoko's house, Tsuru met Kyoko's mother who was a very nice lady, just like her own. Thankfully, Kyoko's brother and father weren't home. She heard rumours about them being really loud and hyperactive, and she was positive if she met them she might destroy her ears.

After meeting Kyoko's mother Tsuru was dragged up stairs to the school idol's room. Hana started ringing up someone and Kyoko was smiling, but not the same smile she usually has. This smile looked sadistic and frightening, she held up a small brown pencil.

"Don't worry, Tsu. Ru. Hime." She carefully sounded out each syllable of Tsuru's name, "This won't hurt… Much!"

Tsuru screamed.

"Hana! Isn't she beautiful?" Kyoko asked Hana, who nodded happily. "She really does look divine."

Tsuru looked in the full body mirror, expecting to see the worst. But instead she saw a doll-like girl with, clear porcelain skin, soft plush lips and large brown eyes fringed with long eyelashes. The girl was wearing a white shirt and a lightly coloured denim jacket, pale orange skirt with a stylish brown belt and brown boots. She had long brown hair, pulled up to the side, leaving with a fringe framing her face. The girl was stunning and had little to no makeup showing her natural beauty.

"Who is that?" Tsuru asked pointing at her refection, while looking at her friends, who had miraculously changed into causal clothes in less than five minutes.

Kyoko chuckled. "That's you Tsuru-chan." Tsuru looked at her in disbelief, "What? I'm not this pretty! And why do I have extensions?"

"Alright," Hana interrupted, "your stage name will be Amaya Misora, and it means 'night rain in the beautiful sky,' roughly anyway. After all you don't want your cover blow if someone recognises your name."

"But… I don-" But before Tsuru could continue she was dragged over to her friend's favourite cake shop.

"This cake is awesome!" Tsuru squealed while Hana smiled and spoke with a knowing voice, "That's why we're eating it."

The vanilla cake was soft and fluffy, sweet but not too sweet and small but enough to satisfy anyone.

"Ah! Mochida-Sempai!" Kyoko exclaimed, making the brunette look up in surprise. "Hana, Kyoko…" He said, trailing off quietly, "Your Kendo match was very good, it's unfortunate you lost." Kyoko continued trying not to make it awkward.

Mochida looked at Tsuru in a confused manner, "Kyoko, who's this?" He asks and Hana cut in and said, "This is Amaya Misora, she's our friend from Italy." The wavy haired girl lied smoothly like a pro. "She's half Japanese."

"My name is Kensuke Mochida, nice to meet you Amaya-san." Mochida says bowing down, as Tsuru shakily replied, "N-nice to meet you… Mo-mochida-san." She bowed in return.

A shout that sounded like 'Mochida!' was heard as Mochida's eyes widen. "Sorry, I have to go. Bye!" He rushed out of the café to the source of the voice.

"I have to go too, thank you. Kyoko, Hana." Tsuru stood up, and waved. "Bye Tsuru!" They chorused, watching their friend's disappearing back.

"A mafia boss, a leader who rules a Criminal Organisation. Able to move a number of trusted members with one hand, willing to risk his life for the famiglia. Surrounded by respect and admiration of all, seen as a hero by the children of the slums…"

"Oh? Is that so?" Reborn asks, a gun cocked at his student's head. "You're the one forcing me to read it!"

"Read it every morning, because you are the one who will be the 10th Generation Mafia Boss." Reborn said, turning the gun away from Tsuruhime. "But I don't want to become a Mafia Boss!"

The Hitman just looked at her, "Don't worry. I'll take care of it on my own."

Everyone's attitude changed once Tsuru beat Kensuke Mochida, some people were terrified of her. But no one calls her Dame-Tsuna anymore and they now respect her.

Tsuru was walking through a nearly empty corridor when a dark haired boy called out to her. "Sawada! I need to ask you a favour! The Volleyball tournament is today but we're short of a regular, I want you to play!"

"Why?" Tsuru asked him, "Because you looked seriously awesome when you beat Mochida-sempai! Lend us that strength!"

"But I've never played Volleyball!" Tsuru argued, "PLEASE!" He begged, lowering his head. Tsuru looked panicked as she looked around and finally agreed, "Fine… I'll do it."

"Thank you!" He ran off, after those words leaving Tsuru to reprimand herself, 'WHY CAN'T I SAY NO!?'

"Tsuna! This way!" The volleyball members called out leading Tsuru to the gym. Once she entered she saw the amount of people cheering for her, and she shook her head.

"Finally! Tsuna!" A bald member of the Volleyball team said, "Show us something amazing!" Tsuru laughed awkwardly as she walked to her position in the middle of the court.

"Yo, Tsuna!" A tall dark skinned teen said, smiling cheerfully. "I was asked to play too!"

"Yamamoto-san!" Tsuru said, surprised to see Yamamoto Takeshi, the star of the Baseball club playing in a volleyball game, she also saw a silver haired looking delinquent to her right and he was glaring very hard into her back.

Before Tsuru could say anything else to Yamamoto the referee blew his whistle and signalled for the opposition to serve, the sever hit a clean under-hand serve that flew over to Tsuru.

'I'll test them first.' Tsuru thought as she decided to flunk the first half of the game. She jumped up to spike the ball but it smacked her in the face, which hurt more because her glasses dug into her skin.

After that the first half of the game went downhill as the opposition was winning 22-0. Tsuru looked around and notice that in the crowd Kyoko, Hana and Kyoya were watching her, she also saw the stark white hair of Sasagaya Ryohei, Kyoko's brother, in the crowd.

"Come on Tsuna! Let's do this!" Yamamoto called from her left, determined. She smiled. 'They haven't lost hope.'

Tsuru decided to help them properly. The referee once again blew his whistle and opposition tried to spike it to their side of the court.

"Come on Tsuna! Block!" Yamamoto encouraged, Tsuru jumped up and miscalculated how high to jump and the ball landed on her chest. 'OW!' Tsuru felt sharp pain on her chest and clutched it.

"WOW! AWESOME TSUNA!" Her teammates congratulated her, all except the silver haired guy. This seemed to make the team's spirit go up and for the rest of the game they persisted and won, 1-3.

"Good Job Tsuna!" Yamamoto congratulated Tsuru, patting her back. "You too, Yamamoto-san!"

"Yamamoto Takeshi… His competence in athletics and his popularity are definitely a necessity for this family. It's good they became friends." The Italian assassin observed. "Good job… Tsuru…" Reborn once again disappeared into thin air.

"You aren't fit to be the 10th Generation Mafia Boss!" The Silver haired boy accused. "Excuse me?" Tsuru asked him, unsure of what he meant.

"You aren't fit to be be the 10th Generation Mafia Boss!" He repeated once again. "If a trash like you becomes the 10th, the Vongola Famiglia is done for."

"You're faster than I expected," A deep voice was heard behind Tsuru, who turned around and saw Reborn appear from a tree. "Gokudera Hayato."

"You know him?" The Brunette asked her tutor who responded by saying, "He's a family member I called over."

"So, you're in the mafia Gokudera-kun?" Tsuru asked him and was ignored. "Is it really true if I get rid of him, I'll be the 10th Vongola Head?"

"It's true." Reborn said. "Eh? But you said I was destined to be the Tenth!"

"If you don't want to die, fight." Reborn stated as Gokudera threw a dynamite in Tsuru's direction, who back flipped away from the explosion. "Dynamite!? How do you have that one you?!"

"It is said that Gokudera Hayato can hide bombs in any part of his body, in other words he's a human bomb." Reborn explained as Gokudera continued, "My other name is Hurricane Bomb Hayato. Brace yourself."

Gokudera held eight dynamite in his hands as they somehow lit up without him touching them. "What!?" Tsuru shouted as she scrambled away from the bomber as she couldn't dodge from that close.

"Oi! Tsuna! What are you doing over there!?" A loud voice came from the left and Tsuru turned to see Yamamoto, "Yamamoto-kun!"

"DIE TENTH!" Gokudera threw the bombs in Tsuru's direction.

'Darn! What do I do!? No time to think! DAMN.' Tsuru reached from inside her sleeves and grabbed her dual pistols. With practiced accuracy she aimed at each bomb's wick and blew them off.

"Hey, Tsuna. What game is this?" Yamamoto asked. "It looks fun! Let me into it." Tsuru looked at him in disbelief, "What!? No!"

Gokudera clicked his tongue. "Double Bomb!" Twice as many bombs were thrown in Tsuru's direction, who once again blew all the wicks off.

"TRIPLE BOMBS!" Gokudera was holding three times the amount of bombs and prepared to throw them but he dropped one, resulting in all the others doing the same. "This is the end of me…"

Tsuru gasped and dropped her pistols and ran for Gokudera. Reborn who was looking from the sidelines decided it was time, he shot a red Dying Will bullet at her forehead.

'I died… I feel regret. If I had the Dying Will I could have saved him.' Tsuru thought as she died. She clenched her teeth. "REBORN!" She shouted, jumping up, an orange flame appearing on her head, "SAVE GOKUDERA-KUN WITH MY DYING WILL!"

Tsuru dashed forward and lifted Gokudera up. Then at high speed she threw him out of harm's way and jumped away from the dynamites and into a tree.

"Thank Goodness!" Tsuru jumped down from the tree. "I didn't realise…" Gokudera knelt down and bowed to the ground. "You are the one fit to become the boss. Juudaime! I'll follow you to the end of the earth!"

"Juudaime!? Your calling me Tenth?!" Tsuru looked perplexed at the turn of events. "The one who loses becomes the winner's subordinate that is this family's rule."

"Actually, I never had the desire to become the tenth. I just wanted to see if the tenth really had the strength to become a suitable boss."

"Gokudera-kun…" Tsuru started but was interrupted by Gokudera who looked up and said, "But you proved me wrong! You are much more than I ever expected! You risked your life to save me, even though I was your enemy. I, Gokudera Hayato, will give you my life!" He pledged.

"Can't we just be friends?!" Tsuru asked, in a troubled manner. "I cannot do that!" Gokudera glared.

"Good Job, Tsuna because of your strength Gokudera became your subordinate. You passed today."

Yamamoto laughed and swung an arm around her shoulder, "Tsuna, you're a really funny guy!" Tsuru looked at Gokudera and saw his veins popping out. "Let me into this group! You're the boss, right?"

'He thinks this is just a game?! Amazing…'

"Hey, you!" Yamamoto and Tsuru looked in Gokudera's direction, "Don't get so friendly with Juudaime!"

"Hey look at that guy! Kneeling on the floor like some beggar!" Everyone turned to face the newcomers, who were laughing.

"Looks like it's time to make myself useful." Gokudera whispered, "I'll totally annihilate them."

"Wait! You don't need to!" Tsuru shouted, but was ignored as the bombs were already airborne. "GOKUDERA-KUN!"

Ayama Misora: I'm not really sure if that's accurate, I just found the two names and put 'em together
