Akari thanks Genesio with a warm smile. He bows and says your welcome, with an equally warm smile and walks away. Akari sips her cup and gives a sigh of satisfaction. "Perfection~" she says. Tsuna gave her a questioning look and asked her what Apple Ale was; It was a mixture of Ginger Ale and Apple Juice. "That's extreme to the max!" exclaims Ryohei. She looks up and tells him she's done more extreme things than that, like mixing orange soda, cherry soda, a bit of lemonade, two types of cola, root beer, and lemon iced tea. "That's WAY too extreme!" thought Tsuna.
Since he was really curious, Yamamoto went back to the previous subject and asked Akari to continue her story. "I was training." she said.
"You ran into a bunch of thugs!" exclaimed Gokudera.
"I was wandering the streets searching for a store my master wanted me to go to so I could pick up a package. Therefore, it was training."
"In what world?!" cried Tsuna.
Ignoring Tsuna's question, Ryohei asked her what happened when the thugs showed up. She started to blush again. "Well... He looked really cool when he beat them up! And his face looked cute in a weird, scary kind of way when he asked me if I was alright."
"I think you need to take therapy." whispers Ryohei.
"I heard that!" yelled Gokudera, but he thought, "She thinks I'm cute... But she never said she liked me." Yamamoto sees Gokudera spacing out and asks him if he's feeling okay. At the sound of Akari's beeping watch, he snaps out of it.
She stands up and bows to apologize, "I'm sorry, I need to take this call." and walks to the bathroom.
Tsuna asks Gokudera who Akari went to talk to, but he didn't know. It's been months since he'd last seen her. "When I asked her earlier, she said she wasn't obligated to say who it was." said Gokudera. Yamamoto thought it must be important if it was that secretive. "It is." said a little voice. Tsuna jumped out of his seat, screaming "Reborn!" and Gokudera helped him up. "Hey, it's the kid!" exclaimed Yamamoto.
Gokudera asked him what he wanted and he told them she was talking to her family and then asked Gokudera if he knew why she was so busy with them. "How am I supposed to know?! Last time I saw her, she was in the hospital!" he screamed.
"Do you know why?" asked Reborn.
"Because... Because she was hit by a speeding car..."
"Guess you don't know the whole story." he said. He then jumped down from the table and told them he was leaving before Akari came back. Tsuna asked why he was leaving so soon. Reborn didn't like her, but he didn't want them to know that, so he left without saying a word.
Wanting to break the awkward silence, Ryohei changed the subject to how much pain Akari must have been in when she was hit by the car. Gokudera started arguing over how stupid that was because the answer was obvious. Thinking Ryohei was still unable to comprehend her pain, he explained her injuries. "She shattered eight bones, twisted her ankles, and broke her ribs! She was in the hospital for months, and I left her before she was released..."
Tsuna cried, "That's horrible!"
Akari creeped up from behind and screamed "Boo!" then asked what was horrible. They looked at each other and Ryohei screamed "I'm so sorry!" and hugged her waist tight. She tried to push him off but his grip was too much. As she kept struggling to release his grip, she pleaded for help. "No! She's in pain!" he cried.
"Who in the world would do such a thing?!" he lastly screamed. Genesio came by to tell them he was causing disturbances and tapped Ryohei's neck. He was knocked out. Everyone's eyes bugged out. "Oh my God!" screamed Tsuna, "What did you do to him?!" Genesio ignored Tsuna and asked Akari what the call was about. Her cheeks started to get a hint of pink, which spread fast. "Never mind. I wont ask." said Genesio, and backed away slowly.
