I'm more amazed that I have to watch one episode of this anime to hunt this song down. Wao, I never knew this will actually come to this drabbles.


I have to thank the Anime, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann for this... and probably Kamina for his similarity with Ryohei. Yes, you heard me, this is a Ryohei(TYL) drabble.

Why, Kamina, why? Why, Ryohei, why?

I don't know.... well, after finding out that Kamina died *spoiler*... WAAAHHH~!!! THEY HAVE TO KILL OFF SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER~!!!

Ahem..

Anyway... I suppose this is dedicated to both Ryohei- for he needs more love- and for Kamina- for he is my new role model- so quits.


This is done out of spontaneous listening... I did not plan any of this except that the song reminds me of Ryohei, and that's it. Bland. So, yeah, I have no idea where in the world the song relates itself to this one... or I am missing something here. *cough*

If you message, this will go to fund the Boxing club! EXTREME!!!

"HIII-YAAH~!"

THUD!


The occupants- or, to be precise, audience- of the Vongola Training room were amazed and slightly baffled at the sight they have seen. Surely, they will never get it to their system that a petite-looking woman could actually hold such monstrous strength.

"EXTREME~!!!"

... And that even if he was pummeled by how-so-many-times onto the ground (In lamen's term, she just threw him using a back flip and pinned him on the ground), Sasagawa Ryohei still has it going with Aihara Nana, his opponent.

Or, rather, his subordinate. Damn, how did she do that?

"Ah," The green-haired female stood up, clad in her training garment of a goldenrod-colored sleeveless spandex, red-colored headgear, fingerless gloves and shoes that boxers usually wear while Ryohei is clad only in his boxing gear (Boxing shorts and shoes, but no Boxing gloves) as he shook his head from the retaliation. "Are you alright, Ryohei-sempai?" The female asked meekly, her gray optics staring at the male before her. In the background, the Rain Guardian and the Storm Guardian stared at the woman, mouths agape, as they still try to process the whole thing altogether.

How did... did she just.... was that a... suplex she just did?

"LET'S RESUME!" Ryohei boomed in an excited tone, fist thrusting in the air, as the Storm Guardian couldn't believe how only so little had change at the gray-haired Sun Guardian all these years. "Come on, Nana-chan, you can do better than that, BRING ME DOWN TO THE EXTREME!!"

"That seems..." But Yamamoto decided to just keep the rest of the statement to himself after figuring that Gokudera would just retaliate whatever he said with something else. Then again, he was right all along- how in the world did Nana do such thing?

"B-but sempai," Nana fidgeted faintly, her right hand near her mouth as she eyed the slightly-battered Ryohei. Fortunately, she, too, had taken some damages as well since she knew he isn't the type to hold down, even if that person is a female, more so someone whom he had a relation with. "Maybe we should stop the training and take a break?"

"I'm still fit TO THE EXTREME!"

"Er..."

She only sighed as the short-haired female prepared her stance, ready for any retaliation the boxer would come up.

"Ok, if Sasagawa-sempai won't back down... then I don't hold back then."

"THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU, TO THE EXTREME!"

Gokudera could only shake his head at the slight humiliation while Yamamoto only laughed, commenting on how 'extreme' their dedication for each other were.

---

Ryohei realized, after returning from one of his missions, that Nana had been quiet for days. He also noticed how she would flush more often and that she was always trying to find an excuse every time he would ask her if the male boxer could spar with the female wrestler.

"Ah, gomen," Nana bowed in an apologetic manner. "I'm kinda busy lately with work. Sorry." And then she's off to kami-knows-where.

"Eh? What's wrong with her?" He asked himself, blinking that she just apologized and told him that she had something to do. He knew her schedule; her assignments were always finished since she does it in the library before heading in the headquarters and that she always had the files sorted out faster than anyone could say 'Chiavallone'. And, most of all, Nana would always accept his spar as the two would fight fist-by-fist with each other until both of them pass out from the fight (or until Nana suddenly fainted for some reason Ryohei can't put his hands on).

But, these days were certainly odd. Was there something he said?

Of course, since he's the Vongola Sun Guardian, and that he knows his way (not to mention that he knows Nana more now that her own self- yes, she forgets that she just finished her work and he would have to remind her every time), he soon found out the reason why she was acting that way.

"I'm getting a bit down lately," Nana admitted, fiddling her hands as, one day, she was finally cornered by Ryohei and told her that she can't go anywhere until she spill everything about what's bothering her to him or otherwise he would have to use force. "I'm getting conscious lately that most girls here are pretty good with their weapon and that they're pretty close with the Guardians and all without even showing their strength like that." Ryohei gave a curious look at her as she tried to explain clearly her words. "Er...I meant that the women here seems to be more effeminate while I..." She paused for a bit, blushing slightly as she twiddled onto her fingers. "I don't feel too feminine enough!" She exclaimed, a slight frown showing her mouth. "Do you think I don't act feminine enough?"

Ryohei was stunned at that for a few minutes, before he laughed at the thought (she was flailing a bit, exclaiming "It's true!" over and over again) as he ruffled onto the female's hair.

"You're just insecure, Nana-chan!" Ryohei exclaimed in his sweet and serious side in which he rarely show to anyone else asides Nana. "You're thinking too much to the extreme again!" He always reminded the female how she thinks too much, if not that she worries too much about him. Then again, he can't blame her since he can be over-protective about her sometimes. Call it a man's thing, he would say to her.

A few days later, he noticed that Nana was acting strange. She started to wear make-up more than her usual application with them (He always noted how she hated putting on make-ups one time, which he's fine with it) and then she would try to act a little girly.

"It just doesn't cut!" Ryohei told Nana, being frank as he watched her wipe the offending smudge of lipstick and eye-liner off from her face and threw the paper towel onto the trash can. "You're EXTREMELY not that beautiful with one anyway."

Either he was blunt or oblivious, Nana merely nodded solemnly in defeat as she washed her face with water.

Sometime later, Nana was trying to act like she was a cool person or something... was she trying to imitate Hibari Kyouya? Of course, it didn't helped much since she got misunderstood many times by a lot. She tried to be like Yamamoto (He noticed a day prior that she was asking something from the Rain Guardian, with pad paper and pen in hand, as if she was scribbling notes or something), then she tried to ask his own sister, Kyoko, how to be like her. Of course, both failed the female much as she became more and more insecure, if not dejected.

He knew he had enough since Ryohei will know both of them will go crazy when this goes on.

Only one thing to do to snap her out without much acting like a sappy douche.

"I CHALLENGE YOU, AIHARA NANA! FIGHT ME TO THE EXTREME!!"

Of course, instead of just standing in front of her in the halls of the Vongola Mansion (In which the occupants somehow heard of the commotion and decided to get out of their room or stop whatever they are doing and check out what Ryohei had got into this time), Sasagawa charged on, his fist ready to punch the lights out of the green-haired female as if he knows that she was ready for another assault coming from him as another 'thud' was heard before everyone finally make it out what was going on.

Ryohei quickly stood up, completely expected- yet baffled- on how she just subconsciously grabbed his wrist with one arm while the other grasping his shoulders to support herself on what she is going to do and flung him straight out behind her. She blinked at the actions as she squeaked a bit and bowed a bit.

"I didn't mean it... ah, I'm sorry, Sasagawa-sempai!" Nana exclaimed but it wasn't long before the Sun Guardian charged once more, preparing a kick this time when she grab hold onto his leg this time, stopping him just in time before his attack made a contact with her. Unfortunately, for the female, this gave him enough time to unleash his attack once more as she was sent spiraling backward, hitting the other end of the hall hard (Tsuna could have swore that she would be severely injured at this and that she would be scarred much by it) before she tried to shake her head as she stood up and wobbled herself, resuming the fight.

Somehow, one way or the other, the little 'exhibition' ended when Tsuna interfere, stopping both of them from destroying the second floor of the mansion as well as before both for them actually kill each other by accident. He told both Lambo and Yamamoto to send the two in the infirmary to have their wounds treated as Ryohei was left alone with Nana whom the nurse finished treating her injured head before walking out to let the two rest.

"I guess this will be out of my month's paycheck for both of us." The boxer exclaimed as he eyed the female who was feeling more down than she was ever. "Hey, don't give me that look, it wasn't your fault TO THE EXTREME!"

"Eh," She blinked her gray optics towards him as she began to fret once more. "But I messed the house too much and then I must have broken a bone or two on you and... Hoooeeee~!" She shook her head in frustration as she sighed in defeat. "I didn't really mean to do that, I don't want to destroy the house!" The room fell silent for a while before the Sun Guardian chuckled once more as he scooted near the female and placed his arms around her shoulders, bringing him closer to him.

"I think you just think too much about what people think which is why you wanted to show yourself as someone else," He pause for a bit, letting her reflect his words, before he continued. "But your subconscious does what you usually does without an extreme thought what others think. I think your body wanted you to be what you are to the extreme!" He find the whole situation about Nana trying to be someone she is not somewhat funny, seeing how (comedic) frustrated she is in trying to impress people, but he had to make her stop and realize that she's fine by herself.

"You... you think so, Ryohei-sempai?"

"Extremely so!"

He watched as the female's face began to turn to its usual color to beet red, which he find it cute for his taste. Ryohei didn't gave a warning to her as he cupped his hands onto her face and gave the green-haired woman a full, kiss in the lips for a few seconds before releasing her and beamed a smile of confidence.

Don't believe in the you who believes in me. Don't believe in the me who believes in you. Believe in the you who believes in yourself!


Sappy, I know. Not to mention.... Ugh! *bangs head on the wall* Dammit, why me? Why did I made such a thing?

Ah, well, worth a shot, at least.

Ok, who voted that Ryohei can be sweet in his own way? Anyone?

Haha... actually, if you are very familiar with the quote in the last part, you get the picture much. Then again, the whole drabbles is a complete give-away on the whole inspiration I got with anyway. *shakes head*

Break from all the angsty and the dark stuff, I find this a comedic view on Nana and Ryohei's relationship. And, yes, Ryohei can practically challenge her anywhere and any time while she... it was out of pure defensive mechanism that she would flip him backward with a suplex, which initiates their 'training' spar.... which the rest find it their own 'kinky' way of saying 'I love you'.

And, yes, I am frustrated as of why such a good character as Kamina *does the Kamina pose* dies as early as Episode 8. NO FAIR~! *flails arms*

And I swear Kamina and Ryohei are almost similar, hence this (and prolly the quote) so I go down now and burrow myself in the ground.

Who would have thought Gurren Lagann is such a cool, manly anime? IT'S THE MOST MANLIEST ANIME I HAVE EVER WATCH, TO THE EXTREME!!!!

Right, the usual drill.... *sigh*

The song is 'Minna no Peace' by Afromania from the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. And the quote in the last part came from none other than the epitome of manliness (*cough*), Kamina. So, yeah, the last part (except the kiss one) is tribute to that guy who fell in the battle at Episode 8 of the anime. *does the Kamina pose* I do not own the song, the anime Reborn! or Gurren Lagann, its characters, and Kamina. What I own, however, is this drabbles, my characters, and my thinning shred of dignity remaining.

Message will let Kamina live on in our lives forever as a constant reminder that HE BELIEVES IN YOU WHO BELIEVES IN HIM THAT BELIEVES IN OURSELVES BELIEVING IN YOU! (confusing as it sounds, it's somewhat true... I think. *shrugs* Logically speaking.) And for the Reborn Characters to win the Millefiore battle with minimal damage... though I doubt on the damage part. *shrugs*

YOU! *points at random reader* WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!!!!!
