CRAP!

"Senpai~~~," complained Ash with a scratchy voice. She had dragged herself out of bed only to find herself sick. "Ugh," she mentally complained. "The only time I decided to drag myself out of bed, I find myself sick." She coughed and kept dragging her feet to Senpai's room. She had wrapped a blanket all around her including her head and eyes. She was going to Senpai's room based off of memory. "SENPAI~~~~~~," She complained in her raspy voice.

"Oh, are you sick? You sound it," She said coming out of her room and sounding worried. She came up and put her forehead to mine. This made her look even more worried. "You have a high fever! Okay, don't worry about anything. I'll take care of it all you just go back to bed and I'll come tuck you in after I take care of school," she said kissing my forehead. "Oh, do you want anything? Any kind of food or drink?"

"I want sushi! And soda!" chanted Ash. "Sushi and soda! Sushi and soda!"

"Yes yes," answered Senpai. "Now go rest in bed. I am going to take care of school and go get you your sushi, soda, and medicine."

"Wait Senpai," I said grabbing her arm. "Can you tuck me in now?"

"Sure," agreed Senpai. "She always gets a little needy when she's sick," Annalisa thought to herself. "Not that I mind, she is always acting grown up for her age. She deserves to have a little down time to be needy and like a kid, because she is one." Annalisa smiled to herself as she walked Ash back to her room and tucked her in.

"Tell me a story about my Mama," said Ash pulling on he Senpai to come lay down with her and snuggle.

"Okay, but first let me take care of school," said Senpai. "I have to let them know that we aren't coming," she continued to silence my complaining.

"FINE," I said angrily.

"Don't pout, I'll be right back," said Senpai rubbing my head, and walking out of the room. She reached the living room and called Tsuna. "Tsuna? It's Annalisa, listen I need you to do a favor for me...," she said into the phone. Soon she was done with her phone call and came back into my room.

"Okay," she started brightly. "What kinda story do you want to hear? I know how about the time your Mom became a Vongola hitman!"

"No! I already heard that one a thousand times," complained Ash.

"A thousand times? That seems a bit much," said Senpai doubtfully. "It all started when She was a little baby-"

"My Mama's Mom was a poor person who lived in America. Her husband had died a few years back and she couldn't find a job. she was so poor that she couldn't afford to give you food and a place to live. So, she tried to find Mama a good home. She ran into the 9th by accident. It turned out that her husband was a friend of the 9th's and helped him out once. The 9th being a good person took them both in, and years later her mom died of natural causes. Thus, Mama were raised here in Italy and trained at a young age to become a hitman," said Ash bored.

"Fine, so maybe a thousand wasn't an exaggeration," said Senpai flatly. She sighed. "Hm... Oh! I got it! Why don't I tell you about her most dangerous, most nerve wracking mission She had ever been on!" said Annalisa dramatically building up.

"OH! Yeah, Yeah! Tell me that one!" Ash said excitedly.

"Your Mama had been on tons of missions before," started Annalisa, She paused momentarily. "This sounds so familiar," she thought. "Hm..."

"SENPAI~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~," whinned Ash.

"Right right," resumed Annalisa with a shake of the head. "Your Mama had been on tons of missions before..." By the time Annalsia had finished, Ash was sound asleep. Annalisa smiled down at her. She reached to rub her head, suddenly a flash back came to her. She remembered the time she heard that same story from Amber, and how she had run into baby Ash's room and did the exact same head rub. That was when Annalisa had started to first like kids. She remembered that time very fondly. Amber will always be the mother figure she never had, and the mother figure that Annalisa's personality was based off of.

As she was reminiscing, the door bell rang. When she went to answer the door, there stood Yamamoto, Tsuna, and Gokudera.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" she asked happy to see them school had just let out.

"We came because Reborn suggested we go and visit Ash," answered Tsuna as Annalisa let them all in.

"How's she doing?" asked Yamamoto.

"Good, she just fell asleep," answered Annalisa, then she got an idea. "Hey, do you guys think that you could help me run some errands?"

"Sure," they all agreed.

"Okay, so here is the plan," said Annalisa. "Hayato and Tsuna will go and get the groceries," she said as she handed Tsuna her shopping list. "Me and Takeshi will go get the sushi, soda, and medicine." Everyone nodded their consent. "Thanks you guys for all your help!"

"No problem," said Yamamoto smiling.

"Yeah," agreed Tsuna.

"Hmph," said Gokudera stubbornly. "Only cuz the 10th said so," he mumbled. Annalisa smiled knowinly and rubbed him on the head, and everyone went their separate ways. Gokudera and Tsuna went one way while Yamamoto and Annalisa went the other way. On their way though, Annalisa noticed something.

"Hey," she said turning to Yamamoto. "Sorry but I forgot something at home!"

"No problem," he answered. "Do you want me to walk you back?"

"No, it's okay," she said. "I'll be right back," she promised turning back and running in the direction they had come in.

She raced into the house and grabbed something random just so she wouldn't be lying to her boyfriend, "Can't start my first relationship off with lies," she thought to herself. As she was leaving the house she opened the window to Ash's room and said aloud, "I feel bad about leaving her home alone. If only someone would magically appear on my roof and agree to look after her to repay me for trespassing on my roof," She said sarcastically while looking up on her roof to see Hibari laying there eyeing her causually. "Worried about her?" she asked.

"Wondering if she was skipping," he said coolly.

"You could have sent one of your men," answered Annalisa.

"Exercise is important," he replied.

"Says the one laying on my roof," she said. "So, can you look after her? I have to get back soon," she said tapping her watch.

"Fine," he said reluctantly.

Annalisa started to leave, but turned to him one last time, "Oh, just thought I should tell you because there is no way she would, She really loves the watch you gave her. She almost never takes it off," and with that she left him alone with his thoughts. Annalisa met Yamamoto smiling at her handy work.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing much," she answered truthfully. "Dino would be so proud," she thought to herself.

With Hibari

Hibari sighed and slipped into the house through the window Annalisa had opened. He some how knew that Annalisa would be able to tell if he really had watched over Ash. But man, he did not want to do this! He sat in the chair to her desk, that is after he had a good look at her room. Ash's room as well as her bed was different shades of red like the highlights in her hair and black her favorite color. She had a bookshelf against one of the walls that contained volume after volume of manga and anime. Another shelf entirely was filled to the brim with exorcism books and the latest theory books. Above her desk was a board with tons of pictures pined to it. She had pictures of everyone. Some were of the disciplinary committee, there was Tsuna, Yamamoto, Rohei, Gokudera, Lambo, I-Pin, Kyoko, Haru, Annalsia, Reborn, Chrome, Dino and his family, and even one of Hibari and Hibird. He spent hours just looking around at her room. Something flashed in the corner of his eye, instantly grabbing his attention. He looked only to see that it was the flash of the watch he had given her. She was still wearing it when she was sick in bed. That brought a small smile to his face.

Gokudera and Tsuna

"10th No! Don't go that way," yelled Gokudera as he ran after Tsuna. Tsuna was screaming while being chased by a few lobsters who had gotten out of their cage when he tripped and toppled their habitats over.

Yamamoto and Annalisa

"Woah! Watch out," warned Yamamoto as he caught Annalisa. She had almost tripped over little kid in the Yamamoto's family restaurant, but in the process of catching herself she stepped backwards almost falling.

"Aren't you two lovey dovey," said Dino smiling. He was trying to not be too pleased with himself, that was obvious enough. Since Annalisa was too young to buy medicine in a drug store by herself, She had asked Romario if he knew any places. Dino had jumped in and said that they would just met them somewhere because they were actually in Japan on business.

The two separated quickly both blushing hard. Dino snickered. "Come now boss," said Romario suppressing a smile himself. "Don't interrupt their spring time of youth." He handed Annalisa the medicine.

"Hehe," laughed Dino. "My bad."

"Takes my boy!" said Yamamoto's dad proudly. "Here you go, I hope your friend feels better. This one is on the house. You guys aren't just friends of Takeshi's, you are his girlfried and valuable customer here," he said smiling.

"DAD!" said Yamamoto embarrassed.

"Thank you," said Annalisa embarrassed too.

"Oh, sorry Takeshi, but it turns out that we are short handed today, I need you to come and help me," he said regretfully.

"Okay," he said looking at Annalisa then all the stuff she had to carry. Sushi and a lot of it thanks to his dad, some soda they bought earlier, and the medicine.

"Don't worry," Dino jumped in. "Me and Romario can help her carry it all. We finished our business anyways. We aren't in a rush to go."

"Thanks," said Yamamoto. He looked at Annalisa one more time and then at everyone else. It looked like he was making a tough choice by the face be was making. Finally gathering all his courage, be bent down and kissed Annalisa on the forehead. "Stay safe, goodbye," he said turning to leave. He was blushing all the way up to his ears, Annalisa wasn't much better. Dino cracked up laughing and Romario couldn't help but join in this time. In the background one could hear Yamamoto's dad saying once again, "That's my boy!"

Back to Hibari and Ash

After a long time, Ash finally woke up. She looked around her room questioningly for her Senpai, but all she found was Hibari. Wait, Hibari?!

"What is Hibari doing here?" she croaked aloud. He turned to face her. "That's weird, I like him so much that I see him in my dreams." She shook her head. Hibari's eyes widened a fraction, which was surprising for him. "What a weird dream," she mumbled as she turned and drifted back to sleep.

"Did you hear that?" whispered Annalisa to Dino. The two had come in quietly because they thought Ash may still be sleeping, only to stumble upon this surprising discovery.

"Yeah, we so need to get to work on this," said Dino. He and Annalsia exchanged excited looks.

"I guess this means I need to clear your schedule for a while," sighed Romario. "Knowing those to from a really long time," complained Romario.

"Sh!" warned the two completely absorbed in spying.

Hibari stood in silence trying to figure out what to do, he opened his mouth about to say something, when Gokudera and Tsuna came nosily back into the apartment. Noticing out of the corner of his eye, he left quickly through the window again. Luckily he didn't see Dino and Annalisa, they had both hid quickly due to their hitman instincts.

"That scared me," said Annalisa her heart beating fast.

"I thought he had see through us for sure," agreed Dino.

"That's what you get for spying," retorted Romario.

"Eh~," they both blew him off.

"Why does no one listen to my good advice?" sighed Romario.

"Um...," said Gokudera and Tsuan both lost. They had come in late.

"Oh, nothing," recovered Annalisa. "You can leave the groceries in the kitchen, thanks!" That evening, Senpai invited everyone over for a home made dinner that she cooked. Everyone had fun, even Ash. After everyone had gone home and Senpai had once again tucked me in when I said, "You know I had the weirdest dream that for some odd reason I liked Hibari and had a dream bout him."

"Really?" asked Senpai she seemed startled for a minute, but recovered quickly. "Are you sure you really don't like him? You always seem to have fun in the disciplinary committee, and you always seem at ease around him. You even light up when you are talking about him," said Senpai. She was already putting her and Dino's plan into action.

"I don't think so," said Ash sounding confused. Was the her real feelings. But no, she could like that jerk how always teased her and made her mad. But then again... "NO," she suddenly yelled that out loud instead of in her head. "Sorry," she said to Senpai who she had spooked. Ash lay in bed after Senpai had left, "No," she thought. "I do not love that jerk!" She thought stubbornly, but even while thinking that a small part of her conscience pulled at her saying maybe she did like him. Embarrassed, she shoved that tiny part farther insider of her. Suddenly she something caught her attention. The pictures on her desk were rearranged. The one picture of her smiling with the disciplinary guys was missing, then she remembered her dream. In her dream, Hibari had been holding that same picture. "CRAP!" she yelled.
