Welcome back! Hope you guys enjoy! Please don't forget to review!
Woopa: I think everyone kind of has an idea that she loves him except them two. All the future characters know about it, and Reborn wouldn't let such a fact get past him. Mostly it's Yukiko and Tsuna who are oblivious to the fact. Well actually it's mostly Tsuna.

"So you're mad now." Alba stated giving me a sideways glance. I sent her a glare. What makes her think that? I'm peachy right now. "I mean yeah your boyfriend kind of ju-"
"He's not my boyfriend!" I yelled at her. I grabbed the bandages and wrapped them around my stomach. I winced lightly from the ointment and made sure not to make them so tight.
"Hai hai. Anyways, were you serious?"
"He doesn't want me here then so be it."
"He wasn't saying that. He was just saying it was his fault and you wouldn't be in the mafia and so on...oh."
"I told him it wasn't his fault!"
"Geez chill out; the pillow did nothing to you. Besides aren't you hungry. You were so pissed off you ignored everyone, even I-Pin and Lambo."
I sighed. I felt bad for acting that way towards. I really did. It wasn't their fault that Tsuna was such an idiot. I pulled a shirt over my head, careful not to hurt my wound even more. A frustrated groan left my mouth. Stupid Tsuna!
"No I'm fine." I coughed slightly feeling my throat burn. I didn't have to look down at my hand to see what was there. For some reason it wouldn't just go away.
"Aiyah!" She screeched jumping up for a second. I looked up at her startled not knowing what to do or say. She ran towards my dresser and yanked one of the drawers out. I stared at the drawer sympathetically. It was a surprise she didn't break it.
"Care to explain why you scared the shit out of me there Annerie?" I asked. She turned to me with a smirk.
"Just a lover's quarrel, that's all." Her smirk widened and I stared at her confused. What the hell is that supposed to me. "Well unlike you I'm hungry. I'll come and get you whenever you guys are going back to Melone."
"Ah," I stood up, wary of my wounds, "I'll go with you."
"I thought you weren't hungry." She mocked me lightly. We walked out of the room. I gave a small snort.
"I'm not. It's on the way to the elevator. I was gonna train for a bit."
She gave me an incredulous look. "Are you an idiot? We just came back from fighting. Do you want to die?"
"Iie." I laughed slightly. "Alex taught me that magic was the best thing to let your emotions go wild." A soft smile formed on my face at the memory. Fun, crazy Alex was such the polar opposite of the stern, poised Reina. They were always the ultimate couple at being at each other's throat every five seconds.
"You don't talk about them much." She commented. We stopped in front of the kitchen.
"Ah Alba-san, Yukiko-san, did you guys come to eat?" Kyoko smiled to us. I looked away from her. It was a bit unnerving to see her right now. My stomach tightened in agreement.
"Only me." Alba replied. She turned to me. "We'll talk later, ne?"
I nodded before saying goodbye to her and the others. I still had yet to make eye contact with any of them. A soft sigh escaped my lips as I walked away from them. I kept my eyes to the ground as I recognized the feeling. It was a feeling I hadn't had for a long time; jealousy.
"Y-Yukiko!" My head snapped up. Our eyes met for a brief second before I looked away.
"We were just about to go eat." Yamamoto smiled at me. "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I was going to train since I wasn't hungry." I replied softly.
"Train?" Tsuna exclaimed. "But we just came from the Melone base."
I sent him a forced smile. "Just working on tricks is all. Practice makes perfect you know."
"Stupid woman, are you trying to kill yourself?"
"Ne, ne Yuki-nee, show Lambo some more tricks!" He beamed at me. I sent him a small smile.
"Hai hai Lambo-kun."
"B-But you shouldn't overwork yourself Yukiko." Tsuna said worriedly. A pang went through me.
"Iie. Alex told me to practice whenever I get the chance. I can't let him down you know." I smiled at them. "Ah I better hurry if I want to get enough practice. See you guys later."
I rushed past them ignoring the concerned stares. They wouldn't have to worry about me much longer. Just one less person they'll have to look after...but why does the thought make me bit sad? I'm going to get what I finally wanted. Shouldn't I be happy?
I coughed slightly and stepped into the elevator. I glanced at my charms where my fans lay in their dormant form. It'd been a while since I last practiced dancing. Perhaps I should try that as well. I looked down at what I was wearing. I had changed out of my clothes and into a light blue tank with black capri sweats. It was fitting enough for me to dance in.
The elevator door opened and I walked out. A frowned lightly when I saw how empty the room was. If I wanted to practice I would need some music. I really rather not focus on my heartbeat. Its' been a bit weird lately.
"Oh well." I muttered to myself. I walked towards the middle of the room and took of my fan charms. I tossed them up watching as they became regular fans. I caught them before spinning them.
"Come one, come all!" I announced loudly. "To Kaichou's one day, and one day only performance!"
I threw the fans up with a slight laugh and moved out of the way.I clasped my hands together and blew into them. When I opened my hands there was a miniature hat in my hand. I glanced noticing that the fans were almost near the floor. Quickly, I spun the hat towards them, the hat grew bigger little by little and when the fans connected with it, instead of colliding to the floor the fans bounced off instead.
"Ma ma, I'm getting a bit rusty." I mused catching one of the fans as the hat disappeared. The other fan had bounced up into the air. A soft sigh escaped my mouth as I opened up the fan. Doing this by myself was a bit nostalgic. Training by myself, trying to think of new tricks to show Alex.
I snapped my fingers making the other fan disappear. When it didn't appear in my hand like I planned, I looked up with a quizzical expression and turned around.
"Now where could it have gone?" I murmured softly. I turned around again making it look like I was searching somewhere. Suddenly, I hit my palm softly. I reached behind my ear, and to a bit of my surprise, my hat was there instead.
A cough left my mouth and I laughed just a bit. I really was rusty.
I reached into the hat and pulled out a rabbit. I frowned slightly. I reached in again only to pull out a rope made of bandannas. I kept pulling trying to get the rope to run out. An exasperated groan left my mouth.
"What the hell are you doing?" I jumped up just as the rope ended. Annerie stared at me with her eyebrow arched up. A sheepish laugh left my mouth.
"Ne Annerie, may I have my fan back?"
"What?"
"Check in your pocket."
"Damn it" She began to say some unintelligible words, very loudly might I say. She checked her pant pockets and sent me a glare. "You bitch."
"Your other pockets." I deadpanned. She sent me another glare before reaching into her jacket pocket. Her glare disappeared and I smirked pulling my hat down just a bit. I really needed to practice more.
"Why the hell is there a bird in my pocket?" She growled out. My eyes widened slightly. Damn it! The blird shirped happily not noticing the dark aura around Annerie. Wait...is that bird Hibird?
I sneezed lightly into my hands. I stared at my hands before a laugh left my mouth. That was definitely new.
"What are you-" She cut herself off with a small snicker when she what was in my hand. It was my fan in its' dormant form. This was definitely new. Only one person I knew was able to make things like that happen. A small familiar pain hit me.
My eyes widened slightly. My game of charades was finally over. So this was what they all had meant. This was the other type of it. Why now of all times did it have to happen? Why couldn't happen another time with a different person?
"I..." I stared at charm sadly. 'I feel like I lost something important."
My hand closed around the charm tightly. "I haven't felt this way since..."
"Reina and Alex?"
I nodded. I heard her sigh before her hand touched mine. I looked up at her. She opened her mouth to say something, but shut it a second afterwards.
"I feel like I've lost my touch."
"It'll be okay Yuki."
I looked up at her. She was wrong. It wasn't going to be okay.
"The pain..." I murmured softly to where she could hear. My hand touched my chest softly where my heart was. "It hurts, but it's not physically hurt. Love is cruel."
"When did you realize?" She asked a bit surprised.
"Honestly just now, but," I replied closing my hand into a fist. "I...I think I always knew, but I didn't want accept it." I forced a smile on. "Besides I'll be free of the mafia! Anyways this is just some puppy love that'll go away sooner or later."
My stomach growled making me blush slightly. "Ne, I'm going to go eat." I walked away from her barely catching her last words.
"I don't think it's that simple."
A small yawn escaped my lips. My eyes slid over to Akane and relief swept through me. She managed to fix her arm.
She walked over towards me. I narrowed my eyes slightly. Is she stupid? Why the hell is she coming over here if she knows I'm pissed off at her.
"Take care." She patted my head awkwardly. My jaw went slack. What the hell happened to her while we were gone? "Don't overexert your body, when it's like this."
"Where the hell is Akane?" I asked suspiciously. She glared at me.
"Forget it." She turned and stalked off. I stared after her in disbelief. Seriously what the hell happened to her while we were gone? Did she drink something funny?
"I hope you guys won't reveal any information about the future i nthe past." Irie commented taking my attention of of Akane. "It's been a few months since you all arrived to this era. Between Sawada Tsunayoshi-kun's and Sasagawa Ryohei's arrival to the future, only 3 days elapsed. I'm sure you all will be in doubt about the difference, but I would like you to say that you all went on a picnic and got lost. As for you Yukiko-san..."
"It's okay." I forced a smile on. "I'll think of something. That's one of my expertise."
"A notorious liar?" Gokudera sneered. My smile fell a bit before I looked at him.
"Yeah if you want to be an ass about it." I hissed lowly.
"Ano...everyone thinks you transferred and moved back with your mom." Tsuna added softly. I nodded not looking at him.
"That's fine. You'll just need to cover up for you 3 day disappearance." Irie continued. "The Arcobaleno's Trial will last week. Even if there is no eighth Arcobaleno, you'll still need to take the trials Yukiko-san." I nodded. "I'll make preparations your return here."
A week eh? If it was rumored that I moved in with my mom, there's a chance that the old hag is still there. More than likely she is, considering the request Ai had asked me before I was taken away. Maybe then I could figure out what was going on with me.
"Listen up," I looked over to him," I don't mean to scare you, but you all will need to clear the trials in one week. If you don't get the 7 seals in one week, the current seals you got will become useless. And also losing the hope of defeating Byakuran-san. Although this is a big gamble, but I've no choice but to count on you all."
Lambo and I-Pin ran in. Kyoko and Haru were behind them. I clenched my hands tightly only to have Lambo jump on me. I caught him in time with I-Pin scolding him.
"Alala!" Lambo grinned at me. "Lambo feels generous today. You'll become my onee-san!"
"E-Eh?"
"Onee-san show Lambo a trick!"
"Lambo that no nice!" I-Pin scolded.
I sweat dropped. Lambo ignored her and grabbed my hair. He began to yank it lightly and started to chant, "Show Lambo a trick!"
"L-Lambo stop that hurts." I said grabbing onto his hand. He only protested. A sigh escaped my lips.
"Lambo if you don't stop, I'm not showing you any tricks!" I said sternly. He froze and looked up at me with big eyes. His eyes began to water.
"B-But since Lambo is going to listen to his onee-san," I hurried not wanting him to cry. "I'll show you a trick when we get back."
He let out a cheer let go of my hair. I smiled down at him then looked at I-Pin. "You can see the trick too I-Pin. In fact, how about I make trick just for you guys huh?"
They both cheered, and eerily enough I could feel someone staring at me. Though it's probably Akane. I'm just being a bit paranoid that's all.
I looked up catching Tsuna's eyes. He looked down immediately afterwards and I couldn't help but sigh softly.
"I'm fine. Besides, I kind of want to go out with bang!" I smiled at him, ignoring the sinking feeling in my stomach. He looked up at me, a small smile on his face. I looked away immediately trying to calm down my racing heart.
"Then you'll be on your way then." Irie concluded. He turned to Spanner who nodded and turned to his computer. Akane looked up at me and stuck up three fingers. My eyes widened slightly. It had been forever since I had last seen that. Only four people knew what that meant, excluding me.
In reply, I held up two fingers as the white device began to glow brightly. Her smile was the last thing I saw, before the bustling shopping district appeared in my vision.
We walked slowly looking everywhere. My eyes caught site of the dance studio, Starlit Melody. I couldn't but smile. Aya was going to have a heart attack when I show up.
"Yukiko-san where are you going?" Kyoko's voice brought me back, making notice that I was walking towards the studio. I gave sheepish grin and rubbed the back of my head.
"Sorry guys, but I have to see Aya, my dance instructor. She'll be thrilled to know I'm back."
"Hahii! You dance?"
I opened my mouth to say something but someone already beat me to it.
"She does. She was one of my best dancers, and is supposed to be in Kyoto right now." I spun around to see Aya grinning. Groceries were in her arms.
"A-Ah this is Aya-sensei. Aya-sensei these are my friends." I couldn't help but feel a bit proud after what she said. Everyone introduced themselves, but she stared at Tsuna for a moment. A big smile appeared on her face.
"So you're the infamous Tsuna!"
"N-Nani?"
"Haha!" I forced out pushing Aya away from them. "We have so much to catch up on. Let's go!" She laughed before suddenly stopping.
"Don't think you can get away with just up and leaving us cold Yukiko." I laughed nervously. She said goodbye to everyone and walked inside the studio. I turned back to them.
"Just come and get me when you need me I guess." I said. "I'll be here or at home if you need me. Ja Ne."
"M-Matte Yukiko." I looked at him. He stared at me guiltily.
"Don't worry about it. I was thinking about leaving after the the whole battle with Xanxus you know." I turned away and walked away from them. I grabbed my chest, wondering why it was him. Fate is so cruel.
