Tsuna was several yards away from the three boys in front of him: Ieyaku, Yamamoto Takeshi, and Gokudera Hayato. He was silent, but his thoughts were raging on inside. Why was Onee-chan back home? Did she leave father behind? Is she going to leave again? If so, when will I see her again? So many thoughts were making his head hurt so he just sighed and focused on getting to school on time.
When he glanced at the two boys with his brother, he couldn't help but feel bad for not telling them the true nature of Ieyaku. He knows he shouldn't say anything (not that he wants to), but he would hate to see how hurt they'd be if he showed his true colors to them.
"Thanks for saving me, Ieyaku! From now on, we'll be friends!"
"Thank you for saving someone like me, Jyuudaime! I promise that I'll protect you till the ends of the Earth and become your right-hand man!"
Tsuna can still hear the sincere words the two spoke when Takeshi was stopped for committing suicide and Hayato was saved from blowing himself up. He was angry when he saw the fake smiles and malicious intent behind Ieyaku's mask of kindness. He knew he could've done something, but if he did, Ieyaku would beat him much more worse than he already does. He was a coward. He knew himself to be as such and knew there was nothing to change that.
Tsuna's thoughts were cut off when he bumped into someone. He winced in looked into the eyes of Nami Middle's prefect, Hibari Kyouya. The students around them were whispering about how he was going to get 'bitten to death' by the DC and felt so sorry to be in his shoes. He didn't understand why they were so afraid of him. It's just that if you didn't break any rules, you wouldn't be 'punished'.
The meek brunette backed away and bowed. He looked into the older boy's sharp eyes. Gomen. Hibari nodded and continued on his patrol of finding students that were ditching or crowding.
"Tsuna!" a voice called out to him. He looked back to see his older sister running up to him. He gave her a questioning look as everyone else was wondering who the mysterious woman was. She smiled and handed him an orange bento.
"You forgot your lunch, otouto. Have a nice day, okay?" she told him and gave him a kiss on the forehead. He nodded while she smiled.
"What?! Dame-Tsuna has a sister?!"
"That can't be true! They don't even resemble each other!"
"Plus, she's much more pretty than anyone I've ever seen. She must consider him a brother is all."
"Yeah, maybe that's it."
Yukishi lazily let her gaze shift to the students crowding the entrance of the school. She glared when she heard all the assumptions. Hibari was itching for his tonfas when he noticed them.
"All of you. Shut up."
There was dead silence when the dark aura was emitted from her. Everyone was frozen stiff when they heard the venom lacing the words. Even the ever aloof prefect raised an eyebrow at the tone.
"Get to class. All of you."
No one moved.
"NOW."
Everyone rushed into the building, but some of them stayed back. They were most-likely delinquents judging by their messy clothes.
"We don't have to listen to a bitch like you," the apparent leader sneered. Yukishi paused and her bangs shadowed her eyes.
"Non so chi pensi che stai chiamando una cagna, ma ora che tu hai insultato me, sarà necessario dare una lezione. E per chiamare mio fratello piccolo prezioso un nome così degradante," (I don't know who you think you are calling a bitch but now that you've insulted me, I will have to give you a lesson. And for calling my precious little brother such a degrading name,) the raven said in Italian. Tsuna's eyes widened when he was able to decipher what she said.
No! Onee-chan! Please don't hurt them! Tsuna begged her as he stood in front of her. Yuki looked at him with dark eyes that showed a bit surprise.
"Move out of the way, Tsunayoshi," she told him. He shook his head and stayed defiantly with his arms spread out. The others were shocked that the meek, mute brunette would stand up to someone like he is. He was, of course, known to be Useless.
"... Fine, but if I hear one more insult toward my brother," the shadows of her bangs made her eyes look demonic, "your heads will be mine."
She left with those ominous words ringing in their ears.
Tsuna held his breath before releasing it. He slumped to the ground with a weary look. He couldn't believe he just did that. He knew his sister was scary when she got 'that' look on her face, but he never thought it'd be that frightening! Especially since he's finally seen it up close.
The Prefect took the moment to speak up, "Get to class, herbivores, or I'll bite you to death,"
The delinquents ran into the school and Tsuna carefully got up to head in as well.
"Is that woman truly your sibling," it wasn't much of a question, but it got the younger boy to look at the raven.
Yes, Tsuna replied. Hibari studied him for a moment before nodding and continued on his patrol knowing that the older Sawada twin would get to homeroom on his own.
Tsuna watched Hibari for a few seconds before dismissing the oddity and got to his classroom. I wonder why he asked.
What the two didn't know was that someone was watching the whole thing, and Yukishi had already felt the presence, but deemed it non-threatening.
