Hi again guys~! I'm actually really happy that my story has almost reached 1,000 views. Maybe that's not a lot in some people's eyes, but, I feel like it's a big achievement for my first story ever. Anyways, I was actually listening to 2NE1's new song Missing You (Any K-Pop fans out there? No? You sure? Alright. v.v") and found it to be really peaceful to listen to while writing. Welp, I hope you enjoy the newest chapter, and I'll see you next time~ Thanks to my followers and constant reviewers, I love seeing that you all enjoy my work. :)
-Butterfly Daydreams
-Chapter 4-
To say Tsuna was exhausted would be an understatement. After getting thrashed about by Hibari's 'training' he could barely walk without having a slight limp with each step he took. He knew for a fact that Yamamoto and Gokudera were going to notice this, and as he headed towards their homeroom, he tried to find a viable excuse to hand to them. 'Should I say I fell? Lambo blew up part of my room and a piece of debris hit my ankle? Reborn just felt like smacking me around for fun? Gah, this is horrible. What am I going to say without it ending with them trying to attack Hibari? Actually, it's not even both of them I'm worried about. It's just Gokudera!'
As Tsuna neared his homeroom, he slowed slightly in order to make it look as though his stride was the same as always. He cringed as he did this; slowing down actually made his bones ache more since he was straining to walk slower than his usual pace. 'I can get through this. I can. I will. It will be okay Tsuna.' Or at least he hoped. As he entered the classroom, he noticed the two boys quarreling quietly. 'They must've panicked when I wasn't home this morning. Great, how could I forget about that. Now what am I going to say to them?' Sitting down, Tsuna sighed at his predicament. He'd manage through this, somehow. It was then that Yamamoto and Gokudera noticed him, and bombarded him with a flurry of questions. More like Gokudera bombarded him with questions, actually.
"Tenth! Where were you this morning? We both got really worried when your mom told us that you were already gone before she got up."
'Well that was because I had an insane prefect threatening to destroy me if I hadn't been there before the brink of dawn. Ah hell, what's the point in lying? They're going to find out one way or another. Hibari is bound to force me out of the classroom at some point or another. Might as well get it over now. I just have to prepare myself for Gokudera's temper. But I got this in the bag! Or at least, I think so. Here we go.'
"Well, you see, I was actually training with Hibari-San this morning." Tsuna cringed at Gokudera's immediate response. He screeched until he became red in the face. And the questions, boy those questions. It took Gokudera about fifteen minutes to relax after his outburst.
'Well that was easier than expected.' Tsuna glanced over at the explosive boy, and only gave him a sheepish smile. 'He'll live. He knows I'll be fine, even if I am under Hibari's watch.' While thinking to himself, Gokudera turned around and stared at Tsuna for a good while. It looked as though he was thinking of the best way to say what he had to next without screaming. Knowing Gokudera though, he'd probably blow up anyways, without even meaning to.
"Tenth…if it's possible, I'd like to go with you the next time you're training with Hibari. I want to see how exactly he's training you. I might even participate every once and a while as well."
'Am I really hearing this right now? I'm pretty sure the whole world knows how much Gokudera absolutely hates Hibari. How exactly am I supposed to deal with those two if they decide to come at each other's necks if they suddenly become angry? And having Gokudera train me? I couldn't even imagine that! He'd be throwing sticks of dynamites at me. Things that explode, burn, sizzle, and can generally make skin bubble and scar, or even set humans on fire. I'm beginning to feel like I have some really bad karma, and I didn't even do anything to deserve that!'
Gokudera seemed to sense the brunet's unease and reassured him during lunch that nothing bad would happen to them. He agreed to meet up with Tsuna early so that they could both head to the school in the morning together. Now Tsuna's only problem was bringing Hibari this 'surprise'. Tsuna sighed. He'd been doing that a lot more lately, hadn't he? It seemed like it was one thing after another all the time now. And it all began with just one sentence!
Later on in the day Tsuna went home, ate dinner; with the normal series of events that normally occurred at dinner, and had a nice, long, relaxing bath. All the while Reborn kept on glancing at the bathroom. 'That idiot forgot to do something. He'll find out tomorrow though. It'll be a good show for me, heh.'
Meanwhile, a certain prefect didn't forget. He was heated, seething. 'That Herbivore forgot. I specifically told him to come to the office after school, and what does he do? Goes home to do herbivorous things. Did he not understand me when I said not to be late? Hell, he's not even late. He just decided not to come at all. He must want me to bite him to death. Oh I can't wait until the morning comes. I have a surprise for him, and he's not going to like it. Not one bit.' The raven smirked to himself with mirth as he thought of the brunet's punishment. Tomorrow is going to be fun.
The next morning Tsuna got up bright and early so that he could meet Hibari on time. 'It oddly feels like I'm forgetting something. But I can't seem to figure out just what it is. Oh well, if I can't remember, then it probably wasn't that important.' He speedily dressed himself and headed towards the front door to meet Gokudera. 'That's another thing. I hope those two don't give me a hard time because of their differences while we're training. I'm fairly sure they're going to fight no matter how much I hope though.' As Tsuna turned towards the kitchen, he nearly jumped out of his skin when he realized that there was a pair of big marble-like eyes staring at him.
"R-reborn! Why are you sitting in the dark like that for? And why are you even awake? Are you hungry or something?"
Reborn only continued to stare at the boy. 'This idiot truly forgot what he was told to do yesterday. Well, he'll find out soon enough.'
"Dame-Tsuna, did you forget that you were supposed to do something yesterday?"
Tsuna only stared back at the baby. 'He knows what I forgot? There's really no point in asking him though, Reborn never gives me straight answers anyhow.' With that thought, he continued towards the front door.
"I'll see you later Reborn. Tell Mom I said 'good morning' for me, alright?" And with that, he left. Meeting Gokudera out front, the boys continued towards the school. Once they reached prefect's office, Tsuna started having second thoughts about training with both hotheads. Figuring it was too late, he reached for the doorknob. Before he even got to open the door himself, it retracted open and he was greeted with a swift blow to the head from a tonfa. Falling to the floor, Tsuna clutched head and stared up until his blurry vision finally became normal. Hibari was standing over him, looking furious. On the other side, Gokudera looked both shocked and angry. This,was not going to end well.
"Herbivore, did you forget what I told you to do yesterday? You did? Well, let me remind you." And with that, Hibari pulled back his tonfa and swung.
