Lily: Hi guys! :) New chapter! Wonder what's gonna happen this time?
Tsuna: ...Lily does not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. If she did, she would be one of the characters. And she would be the 'half gaurdian'; she has a Vongola ring, too. And a sword. But she's a way better fighter than Yamamoto.
Lily: WHOO! 60+ follows! I'm so happy! :D Here are replies to your reviews.
DriftingCloud: Haha, yeah, a lot of people are probably looking forward to that. I wonder how I should write it out... Hm... I definitely don't want it to be awkward. OH! I have an idea now! Thank you, for whatever magical powers you cast on me. XD But Reborn won't meet Tsuna for quite a while, I think.
Guest: Ah, I'm sorry. But no all27. I sincerely apologize. Because I think this story shouldn't focus on the romance. If I just stuff it in there, it'll seem a bit out of place. Sorry!
farronewp: ... XD Okay, I'm just gonna go with the flow. (I KEEP THINKING ABOUT YUGIOH ZEXAL. HELP ME.) Feel the flow! :D Anyway, thanks for reading! Maybe the next review, you'll start to hate punctuation again. :) Well, keep reading, cause it gets better! Also, I'm glad. Punctuation is a very precious part of our society (what) and without it, we would be very confused. I do hope you keep using it. :D
Anyway, I TOTALLY know the plot.
Tsuna: THERE IT IS! Sarcasm without being mockingly sarcastic!
Lily: *blink blink* YOU'RE RIGHT!
Tsuna: *smug smirk, crosses arms* There you go. That answers your question.
Lily: Uwah, sugoi ne, Tsuna.
Tsuna: Anyway, hope you guys enjoy.
Lily: Tsuna and Hibari have left the airport now! It's time to find a place to stay!
Tsuna: And I already have an idea. (I did say I had a 'friend' in Italy, didn't I? When I was talking to Hibari at his house).
Lily: Well anyways, enjoy guys!
"Uwah! Italy's still the same as I remember!" Tsuna exclaimed. Hibari raised an eyebrow. "I came here for a holiday once. With my family, of course."
"They are not your family anymore. They do not deserve to be," Hibari pointed out. Tsuna laughed awkwardly.
"I-I guess so...whatever you say, Kasai," Tsuna said.
"OI! Kimi-tachi!"
Tsuna looked over to a blond man and smirked. He waved back. The man started to jog over to the two...
When he tripped face first. On air.
Hibari couldn't help but notice the man had the same clumsiness as a certain brunet...
The skylark stole a glance at Tsuna. Were they possibly related? It was certainly possible.
"Ah! Are you alright?" Tsuna asked the blond man, kneeling down beside him. The blond laughed and stood up with the help of Tsuna, both brushing off the dust on their clothes.
"My, didn't expect that to happen!" the man said. Then he ruffled Tsuna's hair. "I wanted to look cool in front of my little bro!"
Hibari raised an eyebrow. So they're brothers? It made sense. But still...the brunet had never spoken of having another brother. The pathetic herbivore was the only brother of Tsuna's Hibari knew of.
Tsuna sweat-dropped.
"N-nii-san... The only way you're gonna look cool is if your subordinates are with you," Tsuna pointed out. The blond laughed.
"I guess you're right," he said. Then he turned to Hibari. "I take it this is the friend you've told me all about?"
"Yeah! His name is Kasai Sunohara," Tsuna said. The blond raised an eyebrow. Tsuna had called the other boy Kyoya, not Kasai. "Ah, um... Under the circumstances, we can't say our names. I'm Mizuiro Sawahara."
'Can my little bro read minds?' the blond thought.
"Kasai-" Tsuna turned to Hibari, "-this is who we will be staying with. His name is Dino Cavallone."
At Dino's Place~
Tsuna blinked, then frowned.
"We're not gonna stay at your mansion?" the brunet asked Dino, who laughed.
"Sorry, little bro. But it's much safer here-I think you know the reason why," Dino said. Tsuna pouted, but nodded nonetheless. Hibari glared at the two. He felt like they weren't telling him something. Something very, very important.
"I never knew you lived in an apartment," Tsuna said.
"Maa, I stay here from time to time, when I'm not busy with my work. Anyway, how about I show you to your room? Sorry I couldn't get you separate rooms, but the apartment only has two rooms," Dino said.
The blond led the two up the stairs and into a fairly large room, with two single sized beds on each side. Between the two beds was one big study table. Over to the left corner closest to the door, was a walk-in closet.
"Wow, this is pretty big!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"Well, make yourselves at home. For now, you can go ahead and unpack all your things. If you need me, I'll be in my study. It's to your right-" Dino gestured to the rest of the hallway, "-three doors down. My room is the second door from yours, and the bathroom is right next to your room, kay?" Dino said.
"Hai!" Tsuna said, placing his luggage against the wall and jumping onto the bed on the right. "Fuwa fuwa~"
"Well, Kasai, you can go ahead and take the bed on the left, I guess," Dino said. Hibari narrowed his eyes and instantly brought out his tonfas which were hiding in the sleeves of his jacket. (I'm sorry, but Hibari ain't wearing his school uniform anymore.)
"Call me Kasai again and I'll bite you to death. It's Sunohara," Hibari said. Dino blinked.
"E-eh? But Mizuiro calls you Kasai," he pointed out.
"...he's an exception," the skylark said.
"Eh~?" Dino pouted. Hibari, once again, noticed that the man was quite like Tsuna. "Fine, Sunohara. Well, make yourselves at home." Dino then took his leave, closing the door in the process.
"Fuwa fuwa~ Fuwa fuwa~" Tsuna was still snuggling the pillow.
"Mizuiro. Hurry up and unpack," Hibari said. Tsuna sighed.
"Hai, hai. This is gonna be a pain," Tsuna said. He sat up and frowned. "I hate to impose on Dino like this, but for now, we have no choice."
Hibari silently agreed.
"Obviously, we can't keep mooching off him forever, so we have to find a job Tsuna or later," Tsuna said. Then he laughed. "Get it? Sooner or later? Tsuna or later?"
Hibari frowned in disapproval.
"Fine, fine, puns aren't really my thing. Anyway, do you have an idea of what we could do?" Tsuna asked.
"We could create a job where people can come to ask us to beat people up for them," Hibari said. Tsuna inched back when he saw an evil glint in the skylark's eyes.
"N-no way. Nothing that could attract...dangerous clients," Tsuna said.
"That is the only thing I can do for a living."
Tsuna sweat-dropped.
"Well... Sorry, Hibari, but you cross out a lot of our options. I highly doubt you could cook, or serve people as a waiter. And I don't think you'd be a good cashier for...any store."
Hibari raised his lip into a scowl.
"Haha, sorry. That doesn't really leave much..."
Suddenly, Tsuna gasped.
"I know what we can do! Hiba-Kasai, do you know the anime 'Gintama'?"
Hibari shook his head.
"It's an anime where the 3 main characters-and their strange pet-work in their own business where they do not one thing, but everything! You see where I'm going with this?"
Hibari nodded.
"It could definitely work," the skylark said.
"I know, right! But we'll probably have to use the downstairs part of Dino's house," Tsuna said. "But not all of it. Just the living room. We'll set a sign outside the building and outside our door. We could save cats from trees, cook some last-minute things, and though on a rare occasion, we could possibly fight people."
Hibari perked up at this.
"BUT! For now, let's just unpack our things," Tsuna said. Hibari silently agreed.
Two Hours Later...
"FINALLY!" Tsuna exclaimed, flopping onto the bed. "I'm done!"
"I was done an hour ago," Hibari said.
"Yeah, but all you had was clothes! And a laptop. I had tonnes of stuff!" Tsuna said.
"Then why did you bring so much?"
"Because, I wanted this place to feel as much like my own room as possible. Plus, stuff like my alarm clock, pictures, plushies, etc, are all important stuff too!"
Hibari raised an eyebrow.
"Pictures? Who would you have pictures of?" the boy asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Tsuna asked. He picked up a picture held in a frame and showed it to Hibari. "Of you, of course! Though I could never get you to smile."
"When did you take those?"
"Hidden cameras."
Tsuna smirked, an evil glint in his eye.
Hibari backed away. He admitted that the brunet's devilishness was almost on par with his.
"Well, better go explain this stuff to Dino," Tsuna said, heading out towards Dino's study. Hibari followed close behind.
The brunet knocked on the door of Dino's study and waited for a reply.
"Come in!"
Tsuna opened the door and peeked inside, then opened it all the way when he spotted Dino.
"Nii-san!" Tsuna said. "Um... We've finished packing."
"Oh, that's great!" Dino said, twirling his chair around to face the two.
"But uh...we don't want to impose on you forever, so we have a favour to ask," Tsuna said. Dino raised an eyebrow.
"Sure. What is it?" the blond asked.
"Could we possibly borrow the living room downstairs?"
Later~
"U-uwah...it's definitely changed," Dino said, surveying the lounge.
"I thought it was too...Italy-like. I wanted a more Japanese feel to it," Tsuna said.
"I think you've definitely achieved that," Dino said.
"It was also kind of Kasai's idea," Tsuna said.
"Hn," Hibari grunted.
"You see, his house is styled the traditional Japanese way. This way, it feels 'more like home'," Tsuna explained. Hibari growled and slid out his tonfas, pointing them at the brunet; threatening him.
"Say that again, and I shall bite you to death," Hibari said. Tsuna laughed awkwardly.
"Yeah, yeah..."
The lounge was surrounded by Japanese walls coloured in different shades of green, flowers decorating the outskirts of the walls. The whole floor of the living room was covered in tatami mats, and even the smell of the room was different. Instead of the smell of coffee and dark chocolate, the room was scented with tea and the smell of nature.
"Well, we've put up the signs already, so...let's just wait for some customers!" Tsuna said. "For now, let's have some tea."
For the next few days, their new company gained no customers. None at all. No one even came up to ring the doorbell.
"GAH! Why is no one coming to us?" Tsuna exclaimed in frustration, thrashing around in his bed.
"... Think about it: If there was a sign in the middle of nowhere that advertised a company who would do anything, how suspicious do you think that would be?" Hibari pointed out. Tsuna sweat-dropped.
"I-I guess you're right... But I mean, there has to be someone who's desperate, right?"
"Hm."
"I mean, anything would do, as long as it isn't about killing people," Tsuna said. "At this point, I'M the one who's desperate! I just wish-"
DING DONG~!
"That must be a customer!" Tsuna jumped up. "Be right there!" he called. He rushed down the stairs, followed by Hibari.
Tsuna opened the front door of the apartment.
"Hello, is this the place where I can ask for some help?" an elderly woman asked. Tsuna beamed.
"Hai! Please, come in! Have a seat at the couch, and I'll get you some tea," the brunet said, closing the door as the woman walked in.
'Our first job! This is great!' Tsuna thought, putting the kettle on the stove. Once the water was boiling, he poured it into two three cups which held a tea bag each. He brought them outside to the lounge and placed one in front of the elderly woman, himself, and Hibari, who had already seated himself down. Tsuna noticed-much to his amusement-that the woman was giving the skylark nervous glances.
"So, as you know, we accept almost all jobs given to us," Tsuna explained once he sat down. "However, we will not agree to anything that involves hurting another person physically or mentally."
"Yes, I understand. My job for you is quite simple, really," the woman said.
"And you are aware that we will charge you money?"
"Yes, I am aware."
"All right then. So, what job would you like us to do?"
"I would like you to help save my cat."
Lily: DUN DUN DUUUNNN! Haha, lolz. Not really a cliffhanger.
Tsuna: Yay! We got a customer!
Lily: MEEEP! Gotta finish this chapter and upload it before my parents force me out of the house to go to a restaurant! So, here's a very short A/N. Well, bye guys!
Tsuna: Hope you enjoyed!
