"Ey, Tsuna, do you- Hibari-san?"

I stopped short at the sight of Hibari crouching on the window sill. Looking around, everyone affiliated with the mafia that Tsuna knew was there. There was also a corpse on the bed.

"Oh hey, look, there's a pseudo-corpse on the bed. Speaking of the bed, I think I may have dropped something under it the last time I crawled under there. During the study session, remember?" I said, deliberately misreading their dumbfounded faces.

I slid an arm underneath the bed, and snatched something up.

"Like I thought." I stood up and brushed myself off. Poking the man on the bed, I nodded. "Oh, very nice. Straight through the heart."

I then proceeded to walk to the door, waving airily behind me. "I'll be going now. Good luck with the body!"

I resisted the urge to snicker at Tsuna's despairing wail of "Nee-chan!"

Later, Tsuna attempted to explain to me the situation. I stopped him with a raised hand.

"I knew he wasn't dead. That's why I called him a 'pseudo-corpse', or did you forget?"

He stared at me. "But, but how? You didn't examine him closely and even his heart was stopped!"

I raised an eyebrow. "I know everything, remember?"

He continued to stare.

I had somehow been dragged along (again) to TakeSushi with Tsuna. The food was delicious, but that didn't mean I had lowered my guard. It was the eat and run incident today, I had no intentions to be saddled with the debt along with Tsuna.

I love you, brother dearest, but there are just some things even love can't overcome. Like money problems.

"Thanks for the food!"

"See you later, lil' bro."

"It was good."

"Bye bye!"

Bianchi abruptly stood up in the middle of Tsuna's question and ran away. I took that as my cue to leave as well, along with Reborn and Lambo, and even with the feeling of Tsuna's despair reached out to me, felt no regret whatsoever.

Nevermind, I was feeling regret. Regret because Tsuna's despair kept nagging at me and rendering me unable to nap. I growled, and gave up. Sighing, I headed back towards TakeSushi to help. But not before picking up some things.

"Tsuna, your despair is making me unable to fall asleep, so I'm here to help."

"Nee-chan!" Tsuna looked at me like I was an angel descended from heaven, before remembering that I had also run. I raised my hands in defeat.

"Yeah, yeah, I ate and ran, but it was on the house anyway, right?"

He frowned. "How did you know about that?"

"I know everything, remember?"

My brother stared at me, and then sighed. "But it's true, you technically didn't rack up any debt for me and you're still willing to help..."

"See? Now, if you'll excuse me..."

"Wait, nee-chan, where are you going?"

"I absolutely refuse to wash any dishes, so I'm helping in another way."

"Another way?"

"You'll see."

As I left the back of the shop, I could hear Tsuna remark to Yamamoto, "I hate when she says that."

That's exactly why I say it, oh brother of mine.

"Yamamoto-san!"

"Sawada-san? Weren't you helping in the back?"

"Sorry, but I don't wash dishes. Instead, I thought I'd replace the lights, if that's okay?"

The man looked delighted at my suggestion. I knew it had been a good idea.

"It would definitely be welcomed. Do you have replacement bulbs, though?"

I lifted a plastic bag containing the things I had bought before.

"I came prepared."

The older Yamamoto looked even more pleased.

"You're such a caring brother. Coming to help your sibling out even though you didn't need to."

And another one has succumbed to my boyish charms, apparently.

Instead of correcting his assumptions on my gender, though, I simply smiled at him and said, "Wouldn't any sibling do the same?" then got to work.

Normally, one would complain about having to stand precariously on a stool, reach up, and replace a dozen light bulbs with no real pay, but not me. Hell, I was enjoying myself. Why?

Behind me, some middle-aged women were giggling and whispering.

"You see that boy over there changing the light bulbs? Apparently his brother got into a huge debt so now he's helping him pay it off. Isn't that just the sweetest thing ever?"

"It is! And here I thought that familial love between siblings didn't exist anymore."

"He's rather handsome as well, isn't he?"

"Right! Oh, if only I were thirty years younger..."

"You sound like an old woman, you know."

The commenter's friend playfully swiped at her, they moved onto another topic. But still, the compliments were nice, and I was happy for a bit. Then I became depressed as I realized I was pleased with the gossip of ladies. What was my life coming to?

I was so deep in an existential crisis, I wasn't paying proper attention to my surroundings, and so when Gokudera burst into the shop, I was extremely startled and fell off the stool. I also fell onto him.

"Gah! What the- woman! What the hell were you doing?"

Murmurs flew around the room at his exclamation.

"Oh, you know, just standing around. Stools happen to be my favourite places to stand. No, I was replacing the lightbulbs, moron."

"Gokudera-kun? What are you- Are you okay?!" Tsuna peeked out from the back of the store, and rushed over when he saw us on the ground. "Nee-chan, you didn't get hurt either, did you?"

"Well, if you don't count the bruise on my head where it crashed into his thick skull when I fell, I'm fine."

"Did you just call my skull thick, woman?!"

"Hey, I call it as I see it. See, my head has a sore lump here, while your head seems to be perfectly fine, so what else am I supposed to think, hm?"

I tried to get up, but ended up falling back onto Gokudera.

"Shit."

"Oi, what- you're bleeding."

Touching the side of my head, I could feel something warm and sticky starting to trickle down, and my vision started clouding over. I must've hit my head on something else other than Gokudera's noggin when I fell.

"I'm going to black out, just a warning," I managed before giving in to the darkness. The last things I heard were Tsuna and his friends' panicked cries.

This chapter is fail. It's also late. I blame school. Yes, school's started again for me.

To Reaper Senpai: Glad you like the daily updates. School saps my energy, so I might not be able to do those anymore though. The only pairings will be crack ships with a side of All27, so none, really. That's mainly because I personally don't like OC ships, and I'm trying to have this remain a light and fun story. I'll probably fail, though. (Also, it's because the story practically writes itself and I'm just a slave to put the words up on the internet)

To Update soon pls: Thanks for the compliment. As seen in this chapter, there will unfortunately not be a fight scene, as I really couldn't decide who would win or how to make it a tie. We don't want our beloved main character to lose, but Hibari isn't allowed to lose either, and nor does the current him seem the type to leave a fight unfinished. As for the super strength and aim, they're crack qualities brought over from the crack marysue/Opness.

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed. Tell me if there's anything you particularly want to see.

Review?
