Chapter 12: New people part 1

Namimori, Japan

A teenage boy with long, shaggy hair grinned as an old lady walked out Take zushi, satisfied with the food she had just had. "Nice working, Arai- kun!" Takashi Yamamoto said to him, and Arai Kazuma did a cheerful thumb up to his boss. He quickly put the dishes into the kitchen, and looked around if any customers needed assistance. "You want a break?" "Nah, its okay, boss!" As he conversed with the sushi shop owner, the sliding door opened to reveal three young boys and a baby. "Ah, Arai-kun. It seems that my son and his friends are home!"

Arai looked over to the quartet, and whistled very, very quietly.

Tsuna POV

Tsuna was looking around his friend's family sushi shop, when his eyes landed on an unfamiliar young man talking with Yamamoto's dad. The teen had long shaggy hair and a slim posture, and was wearing the Take zushi apron on top of a white shirt and slacks. Tsuna missed both the faint whistle from the boy and a glint from Reborn's eyes. "Takeshi, Tsuna-kun, Gokudera-kun! Here, I'll introduce you to my new employee!" Yamamoto Takashi said, smiling as usual. "This is Arai Kazuma-kun. He's going to be attending Namimori middle soon, so, yeah!" At those words, Arai gave a small bow, and shook hands with the three boys. It was a surprisingly strong grip.

Suddenly, Reborn jumped off Tsuna's shoulder and onto the table, pointing his gun at Arai. "I'm Reborn, the number one hit man in the world" Tsuna inwardly screamed as the baby gave Arai a grin."S-sorry, he likes to play mafia games, Hahaha…" "Shut up, dame- Tsuna. You're 1000 years too early to stop me" Arai seemed to be slightly surprised, but then grinned back at the Arcobanelo, holding a hand out to him. "Well then, nice to meet you, Mr. Reborn"

Needless to say, the salmon sushi Arai had made was delicious, and when Reborn ordered him to make a Vongola sushi, he actually made a clam sushi. "That was great!" Yamamoto laughed as he stretched, and slapped Arai on the back. "Haha, thanks man!" The teen grinned back, and grabbed his bag. "Well, nice meeting you guys! See you at school!" Then, he waved at Takashi, "Bye, boss!" and walked out of the shop.

They didn't know. Or maybe everyone exept for Reborn didn't know.

That Arai Kazuma had licked his lips with a sharp grin, different from before.

"Well well, I've found the people I want to fight"

Italy

Senko Shin gave her friend a nod as the woman fussed over them. "You people need better food! This is Italy, the country of love, food and song! You need to make more out of it!" Fiore MacRaibeirt said as she handed the Nastro D'argento members each some plates of hot food. "Mmm, nice~" Alice said sleepily as she ate, and Shiina just stayed silent.

"Where are the boys?" "They're out training" Fiore huffed at that, and sat down next them. "I know the battle with them is hard and you need to train. I'm going to help you as well. But you guys shouldn't push yourselves too much, okay?" The girls nodded in unison at the same time, and the dark haired woman smiled warmly.

"Hey! Something smells niiiiice!" A voice rang out, and Fiore smiled. "well, it seems it's the boys' turn to listen to my lecture!"

A/N YES ITS SHORT. ….

I deserve to be haunted by Kishihito-sama.
