Kagisora panted wearily as he stepped up the ten flight of stairs with Rebirth on his back.. or rather, his hair. He already done it five times and yet his mini hitman tutor wasn't satisfied.
"This time, go up one more time.. hopping with one foot. If you can do this within three minutes, you can rest all you want for the day. And if you lose.. something will happen to you." Rebirth's cat smile darkened.
Telling by Rebirth's expression, Sora didn't like the meaning of 'something'.
'I must win!' Kagisora thought determinedly.
"Aaaah! Dinner!" Haruka stretched herself widely as she made a large yawn.
'My body was sore from training, but it was well worth it! I even made a flame and used it on my staff!'
Gokudera had left her again to do some lethal business, and his instructions briefly told her to the kitchen downstairs at the top right corner.
It took Haruka awhile to find the correct door, but after the last jumble, she finally came upon a rather ordinary white door that looked pretty much identical to all the others- but much scratched.
She wondered what could have made those scratches.. maybe Uri?
No.. these were much smaller scratches, but they were very numerous in number.
As Haruka slide open the door, a angry rooster charged at her; it's loud flutter of it's wings made Haruka slam the door close immediately, her heart pounding her chest at the sudden surprise.
Why is there a chicken in the kitchen?
Haruka didn't know the answer to that, but she also saw it.. flaming goldish yellow..?
A faint voice was heard inside the kitchen as well, the voice of that Sasagawa!
"H-hey! ... No! Not the-" Suzako coughed.
The roosters sound of feet were farther now, so Haruka took caution a she creaked open the door.
The whole room was a mess- the floor powdered with flour like snow, the food toppled over each other, and everyone but Haruka was coated with white flour.
Swiftly, Suzako finally snatched up the rooster and seeing that it lost, it gave one last peck on the head and zoomed back into his box.
Suzako sighed. "I just wish it wasn't this frisky.. Oh.. Haruka?"
The sun guardian's eyes widened when Haruka stood in front of him, as if expecting a clear answer to this disaster. But she simply sighed as well and said, "Well, we should clean up now.. I won't tell anyone okay?"
Suzako blinked. "Uh.. okay."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
'With the rest of the 10th guardians gone out, it was perfect to surprise the younger ones..' Rebirth smirked to herself.
"Suya, you can come out now."
"Y-yes..."
A rather embarrassed maid stepped out of the changing room. She had everything a maid would wear, a neko tail, and of course, a set of ears. This also seemed to have made her flush more tomato red when Rebirth looked at her with unblinking eyes.. staring devilishly.
'What should I do? I can't go out there!' Suya thought to herself worriedly. Closer and closer was the door as they walked and more anxious became of her.
When they were right in front of the door, Suya hesitated.
"Go on," Rebirth urged, pushing her forward. But the force was too great and the maid flew down the floor.
Haruka glanced at the newcomer. She appeared to be a maid with similar spiky red hair like Sora's, and.. cat ears? 'Lame..' she thought as the maid slowly got up and adjusted her uniform.
To be polite, Haruka smiled weakly to the maid.
"Uh.. hi, are you a maid? Or.."
Suya's cat ears twitched. 'She didn't recognize me!'
"Y-yes! Um.. Do you need anything?"
Her voice was as high pitched as a mouse, but Haruka already noticed she was acting it. Was she..? Nah, she wasn't..
"Ah no thank you.."
Suzako looked over Haruka's shoulder to see who the storm guardian was shyly talking to.
It was a rather cute neko maid, adorned with laces and frills. It was cute.. but Amaya was cuter.
Wait.. what? Suzako blinked, turning red. What was he saying?
"Nice to meet you! I'm Suzako Sasagawa, and this is Haruka Gokudera, your name?" He spoke with fluent Japanese.
Haruka glanced at Suzako questiongly. Was he this friendly to the anonymous?
"I-I'm Suya.. I'm pleased to meet you!" Suya bowed low.
Their gazes settled onto each other as they spoke until Rebirth showed up, grinning her usual cat smile.
"Buena sera-desu~ How's the dinner?" she asked.
"The dinner..? Oh yes!" Haruka's eyes widened. Not so long ago, Suzako and her had almost failingly attempted to make pasta with tomato sauce, but there was none of that in the fridge, so they went with parmesan.
"Is that cheese I smell?"
A large cat sat at the front kitchen door, craning it's neck at the heavenly smell of cheese. It licked it's lips with hunger as Suya slowly lifted the lid from the pot, overwhelming it's nostrols with the smell.
"I didn't know you liked pasta," Haruka shrugged. "But are you even allowed to eat this?"
she questioned the leopard doubtingly as the she leopard padded towards the table.
"I'm not sure myself, but it smells terribly delicious~" Uri purred lowly.
Suzako looked at the feline curiously as Suya plated each of them the delicious smelling food.
"You're Gokudera's box weapon aren't you?" he asked.
"His companion at battle and his procrasinator~" she smiled with her sharp teeth glinting proudly.
"I could see that." the Sasagawa chuckled.
As they ate, Rebirth finally arrived back, sipping from a straw in a soy milk box.
"Where were you Rebirth-san? You missed dinner!" Haruka complied wonderingly, popping her last pasta piece into Uri's mouth as she delightfully gobbled it up.
"Just talking with someone.." the infant said absent-mindedly, looking at the ceiling.
"Anyway, I think everyone knows about the Vongola's history and it's box weapons right?"
Everyone nodded except Sora.
"Well to give everyone a quick review, who first formed the Vongola Family?"
"Giotto Sasagawa, the first Vongola Boss!" Haruka said quickly.
"Correct. With that, who are the first six guardians?"
"G., Asagi, Knuckle, Lampo, Alaude, and Daemon Spade!"
"Correct~" Rebirth's eyes sparkled intently at Haruka.
"What is a box weapon?"
"A small squared box that can only be opened with the same flame attribute ring." This time Suzako answered- who was much calmed and open-minded with his speech.
"Further more..?" Rebirth glanced at him with expectant eyes.
"It unlocks a box animal that is willing to work together with you in battle and obey everything you say.."
"Presisely. But some can be almost impossible to be tamed, depending how much experienced and powerful it is. The Vongola boxes may have these kind of animals.. Such as Suzako's."
Suzako blinked, surprised. How did she know that his Rooster was a riot to begin with?
"U-Uwaaaa!"
"Fufufu.. You should be more careful miss~"
A young man dressed in a black suit formed a playful smile to everyone.
"It appears that your maid suddenly slipped, and I, in time, had caught her in my arms!" his voice was as silky as new silk, and his bluish purple hair swished as he moved.
"U-um..!" Suya blushed.
"No need to act, I know you're a boy," the young man chuckled, "I could tell the difference from a man and a woman."
Haruka's and Suzako's eyes widened. Suya is a boy?
He definitely didn't look like one!
"W-what? ... Sora?" Haruka yelled, "Why are you dressed as a maid?" she asked urgently, her voice filled with anger. "I'll-"
Rebirth nudged Haruka's denim jeans interruptedly.
"I punished him. Didn't I, Cry-baby-Sora?"
"A-ah.. I see."
At least it was Rebirth's decision- not some perverted man.
"A-Anno! Could you.." Sora's face sweated as their faces drew closer.
"I appologize, fufufu! But did I hear Sora, Kagisora Sawada?" The young man's dark blue eyes widened.
"T-that's my name. Um, yours?"
The young man's purplish blue hair hair swished as if in que.
"My name- is Mareo Rokudo~ Your mist guardian for this generation, fufufu~!"
