Chapter 9: Poison Scorpion's Cooking!
Warning: Crappiness, Poison, Origini and everything troublesome!~ Those are the ingredients for this chappy~
Recap: Akemi, Tsuna and Yamamoto took a suicidal test by the sadistic Reborn!
"... Aah, tomo ni ayumou Namimori chuu!" I just finished singing the Namimori School Anthem.
"That was nice but your pitch was a little off at the end," Ichigo commented,"Plus why the hell did you sing that for?"
"Why not? It's fun to sing it~" I said, beaming and swinging my legs at the edge of the bed,"And I was bored."
"Your problem not mine," he said, closing his eyes and lying on the bed. I looked over to Ichigo #2.
"Ne, Ichigo. When will he wake up?" I asked.
"I don't know and I don't give a damn," he replied but seeing my depressed look, he immediately added,"Maybe a few days later? Somewhere around there. No guarantee."
"Souka... Then what should I call him?" I questioned, tilting my head and crossing my arms, thinking hard.
"How about bastard?" Ichigo suggested. I sweat-dropped.
"I knew you were going to say that. How about Kurosaki?" I said.
"Why?"
"Since I call you Ichigo and I got that idea from Bleach, I thought it would be kinda cute if he was called Kurosaki and together, you guys would be Kurosaki Ichigo!" I finished saying, waving my arms happily.
"That's so like you."
"Plus, perhaps this way, you would probably dislike him lesser..." I mumbled, unsure whether he had heard it.
"Oh yeah, before you wake up, I should probably warn you about something," Ichigo said suddenly.
"What?" I raised a brow.
"I'm not sure whether it will happen but look out for purple-like stuff, especially near Tsunayoshi."
"Oh, okay, sure I will look out. But what for?"
"Let's just say that those stuff will probably melt your stomach."
I shivered. Oh Kami-sama, what kind of bad things are going today!?
At the route to where the Sawada Household is~ (Akemi and Tsuna were buying some stuff)
"It's so hot! And I'm so thirsty!" Tsuna-nii complained as he looked up at the sky, raising his arm to shield himself from the strong glares of the sun.
"I shouldn't have bought chocolates, they all melted!" I said, looking at the melted chocolate packets I have in my hands. I opened one packet and ate it.
"Here, Tsuna-nii. Want one?" I asked, handing him a packet.
"Why did you even eat it when you complained it was melted?" Tsuna-nii asked.
"Melted chocolates are nice too! Just sticky. Plus to me, they taste like hot chocolate! So do you want one?"
"T-Thanks but I will pass on that, and don't get chocolates all over your face." 'Because I'm pretty sure you will.'
"Relax, I won't," I reassured him, stuffing chocolates into my mouth.
Ring! Ring!
Ah! That's the sound of the ice-cream man! Nah, it's the sound of a bike~ I wish it was the ice-cream man, that way I can cool down!
Anyways, Tsuna-nii and I looked back and saw a woman riding a mommy bike with a helmet and goggles. (A/N: Lol. I spell it as googles at first.) The woman then stopped near us and removed her helmet. She was a long pink-haired (A/N: Not so sure...) woman with a scorpion tattoo on her left shoulder.
'She's so pretty...' I thought,'Though she seems like a foreigner. Maybe half-Japanese like Gokudera?'
"Please have it, if you like," she said and toss two soda cans to me and Tsuna-nii, then she rode away. Tsuna-nii didn't managed to catch his but I caught mine with ease. Though my clumsiness acted up and the can slipped out of my hand.
"Awwww, both of the cans spilled," Tsuna-nii stated.
"It's fine, we can always go home and have a cold drink!" I said, cheering him up, patting him on the shoulder.
"Hieee! Akemi! Look at this!" I looked at what Tsuna-nii was pointing at. To my utter dismay and surprise, purple fumes started to come out of the spilled drinks.
Gah!
I looked up just in time to see a crow fall down from the sky.
'"Ah! It's raining crows today!" is what you're thinking, right?'
'Shut up.' I blushed. I looked at the crow which landed right in front of Tsuna-nii and me.
"It's... dead."
"Hieeee! What is this!?" Tsuna-nii exclaimed loudly and did what he does best- Panicking.
'Ne, Ichigo. When you meant purple-like stuff, did you mean this?'
'Exactly. Tough luck, you know, being Reborn's student.'
'I'm Reborn's student?'
'Why else would he teach you along with Tsunayoshi?'
'True enough.'
"We should tell Reborn about this. It might be an assassination attempt," I said, before dragging Tsuna-nii back to the house since he still haven't got over his shock.
At the Sawada Household~ (After a period of dragging)
"Reborn! We got trouble!" Tsuna-nii yelled while running to his room with me skipping behind.
"Outside! Juice! The bird!" Tsuna-nii said, fumbling over his words.
"HIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" he screamed at Reborn's face... which was currently full of beetles. That was kinda gross.
"Errrrrrr... Is that the latest Mafia trend?" I asked, scratching my cheek.
"Do you emit tree sap!?" Tsuna-nii shouted, still grossed out by the beetles.
"This is Reborn we are talking about! He might actually do emit tree sap!" I replied to his question.
"These guys are my summer minions. They collect information," Reborn explained. But that doesn't really explain why they're ALL over your face...
"Does that mean you can talk in bug language?" Tsuna-nii asked.
'There is such thing as a bug language!?'
"With that I was able to grab hold of information. Bianchi is in town."
"Bianchi? Who is that?" I asked. That name sounds so very familiar...
"A former fellow hitman," Reborn replied.
"What!?" Tsuna-nii exclaimed.
Ding Dong...
"Italian Pizza Delivery!" a woman's voice called out. Wait... a woman's voice that sounds very familiar.
Hmmmmm... Who was it? Ah, I will think about that later! I'm hungry and there's pizza!
I went down the stairs along with Tsuna-nii and opened the door.
"Thanks for waiting," Geh! It's the pink-haired woman! No wonder the voice sounded familiar! "A delivery of Vongola Pizza."
"You-You're that girl from earlier!" Tsuna-nii exclaimed.
She put on a gas mask and was about to open the pizza box. I pushed Tsuna-nii onto the ground and slammed my hand onto his face.
"Tsuna-nii! Whatever you do, don't breathe!" I yelled.
"W-Why?" Tsuna-nii managed to choke out through my hand.
"Remember the soda cans she gave us? It let out purple fumes which lead to a crow dying. It isn't far off to assume that the pizza can do so too," I explained,"See? As evidence, she's wearing a gas mask!"
She then opened the box completely and as expected, purple fumes started to come out.
"Enjoy," she said mockingly.
I started to cough.
'This is poison, right? Then I should be fine.'
"A-Akemi, are you okay?" Tsuna-nii asked,"Y-You're breathing heavily and you look pale too- Wait! You shouldn't even be breathing!"
"I-I'm fine. I'm used to poison after all," I said, panting a bit. Tsuna-nii's shocked expression was just so priceless I can't help but whipped out my phone and take a picture. Which I did.
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot resounded the room. Turned out Reborn was the one who did that.
Thanks to him, the pizza flew outside and we were rid of the purple fumes. Unfortunately, three crows died outside due to the poison pizza.
"Ciaossu, Bianchi." So she's Bianchi!? No wonder she had all this poison stuffs, she was a hitman!
"Reborn," she replied.
'But why does she want to kill us?'
"I'm here to bring you back. Let's do another big job together, Reborn," she said, blushing.
"A peaceful place doesn't suit you. The place you should be is the dark world where it's more dangerous and thrilling," she continued.
"I told you, Bianchi. I have a job to raise Tsuna and Akemi, so I can't." I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen next...
"... Poor Reborn," she said and then she cried dramatically. Cue sweat-dropped moment.
"Unless the Juudiame and that girl dies due to an accident or something, Reborn won't be free again," Bianchi said, and pointed at Tsuna-nii and me.
"WHAT!?" Tsuna-nii shouted.
'So that's why she wants to murder us.'
"I'll go home for now. When the Juudiame is mur- When the Juudiame is dead, I'll come to bring you back again," she said and turned to walk out of the house.
"Ne, Bianchi," I said. She stopped to hear what I was saying.
A tint of blue appeared in my eyes.
"If you did murdered Tsuna-nii, the Vongola would have no heirs left to take over."
I feel so calm...
"Plus the Kyuudiame isn't young anymore. If news of that spread to other Mafia Famiglias, they would certainly take this chance to annihilate Vongola."
What's with this overwhelming sense of confidence...
"If that happens, Vongola would surely fall."
I feel like I could do anything...
"Are you prepared? To take the weight of all of the lives of the people in Vongola that you are going to kill."
The tint of blue in my eyes disappeared, and so did all of the calmness and confidence.
"A-Akemi?" Tsuna-nii said and tapped my shoulder.
"Eh?"
'What was I saying?'
'Che. Looks like the bastard is waking up. He's already affecting you.'
'Eh? I thought you said he would wake up a few days later!?'
'And I thought I said no gurantee!?'
Everybody in the room looked at me.
"Hm. You are an interesting girl, considering the fact that you are somewhat immune to my poison," Bianchi commented.
"Errrrrr, thanks?" I said and she walked out of the house.
"What's with that woman!?" Tsuna-nii shouted so loud I bet the whole neighborhood could hear.
"She's a freelance hitman called 'Poison Scorpion'. Her special skill is to feed people with her poison cooking," Reborn explained.
"Such a fitting name," I said.
"Another weird one is here! What's wrong with your world!?" Tsuna-nii yelled.
"And she seems to favor you a lot too, Reborn," I added.
"Bianchi loves me. We went out too at some point," Reborn explained.
"Went out? What does that mean?" I asked innocently.
'As smart as you are, you are ignorant of these type of stuffs.'
'Not my fault I didn't learn them.'
'... It's best if you don't learn them.'
"E-Eto, it means... H-How do I say t-this..." Tsuna-nii stuttered.
"It means that Bianchi is my lover," Reborn said bluntly,"She's my fourth lover."
"Do you even know the meaning of the words you just said!?" Tsuna-nii exclaimed,"A-Anyway, do something! She's targeting our lives!"
"Humans are creatures that will die someday," Reborn said.
"Don't be enlightened all of a sudden!" Tsuna-nii said,"By the way Akemi."
"Yes?"
"Why are you immune to poison?"
"Oh," I mumbled,"Well, my parents have been poisoning the food I eat for a few years before my brother found out and stop them. By then, my body has already become immune to poison but that was a long time ago so I'm still affected a bit by poison."
"What kind of parents would do that!?"
"Mine, they really wanted to kill me off," I replied, not skipping a beat."
Awkward silence enveloped us all.
"But I'm fine! Really!" I said cheerfully to clear up the gloomy atmosphere,"Come on, Tsuna-nii! We got school tomorrow!"
On the way to school~
"Ohayo, Tsuna-kun, Akemi-chan!" Kyoko greeted as she caught up to us.
"Ohayo, Kyoko-chan," Tsuna-nii greeted back, blushing.
"Yo, Kyoko!"
"Today's Home Economics Class is to make Origini. I'm so excited!" she said,"Akemi-chan! You should attend today's class!"
"Eh? No thanks, I will pass," I replied. I always skipped Home Economics Class since I can't cook to save my life. Mainly because I wasn't taught how to cook. Hah, where's the logic in my sentence?
Ring... Ring...
That's the sound of a bike... And not just any bike, it was Bianchi's!
"Those who bother someone's love life should die covered up in poison," she said darkly, killer intent leaking out.
"Here you go." She threw us two soda cans and rode off.
Due to my reflexes, I swung my bag, hitting the soda cans, resulting them to land a few meters away from us.
"Is that someone you know?" Kyoko asked.
"N-No, I wonder who that was..." Tsuna-nii replied, lying through his teeth.
'Is Bianchi planning to involve Kyoko in this?'
Thud! Thud!
Two more crows died after inhaling the purple fumes from the soda that was spilled...
"On second thought Kyoko, I think I will attend today's class." 'Just to be safe.'
During Home Economics Class~
"... form the bottom with your left hand and the top corner with your right hand. Press the triangle into the palm of your left hand and squeeze each corner of the triangle with your right hand and... done!" I exclaimed proudly, finished making my Origini. Turned out I can cook. I wiped some rice off my face with the back of my hand.
"Wah! That's nicely made!" Kyoko complimented me.
"Arigatou! Yours nicely done too! I'm soooo hungry now..." 'Maybe I should eat mine instead of giving it away~'
"And Akemi-chan looks so cute wearing that frilly apron!"
"A-Arigatou..." 'Calm down, don't get angry, breathe in and out and then hold your breath.'
"Ne Kyoko, who are you going to give your Origini to?" I asked, tilting my head.
"Eh? I am thinking of giving them to Tsuna-kun!" she answered.
"Ah souka~ Tsuna-nii would really love it!"
"Who are you going to give to, Akemi-chan?"
"Myself~"
At class~
"We'll give the Origini we made during Home Economics Class today to you boys!" the female students- minus me- said in unison.
"WOOOOO!" the boys cheered.
"What a weird event," Gokudera commented.
"Tsuna, did you decide who to accept it from?" Yamamoto asked.
"Eh?" Tsuna-nii gaped.
'Bet everything that it is Sasagawa Kyoko!'
'Well it is obvious.'
I looked at Kyoko. My expression turned into horror.
Behind Kyoko was Bianchi, who was holding a plate of poison Origini!
'Don't tell she's going to-'
Bianchi swapped Kyoko's Origini with her poisoned ones.
'Did no one saw that!?'
'Well, shit happens.'
"Hey wait up! What are you doing!?" Tsuna-nii yelled. Looks like he noticed it too.
But in a blink of an eye, Bianchi disappeared from our views.
'As expected from a hitman!'
"Tsuna-kun, do you want to eat them?" Kyoko said and offered Tsuna-nii her Origini, oblivious of the swap.
"Eh?"
"How outgoing, eh?" Yamamoto said and whacked Tsuna-nii playfully.
Tsuna-nii's face scrunched up in disgust.
"Oh, you don't like salmon?" Kyoko, who noticed Tsuna-nii's expression, said.
"No! I-It's not like that!" Tsuna-nii said quickly as Kyoko was going to pout.
'Goddammit, Bianchi! She knew that Tsuna-nii would be in a conflict like this! I got to do something!'
I moved swiftly through the crowd to where Kyoko was, avoiding knocking into students along the way. When I was near her, I purposely bumped into her, causing her to drop her plate of Origini. At that moment I coincidentally spotted Bianchi outside the classroom.
'Damn you that girl! But one day I will get back Reborn..' Bianchi thought.
"Ah! Honto ni Gomenasai, Kyoko! I wasn't looking where I was going..." I lied.
"It's okay! But such a waste, I really wanted Tsuna-kun to eat my Origini," she said sadly.
"Here," I said, offering her my Origini,"I made four Origini and that's enough for you, Tsuna-nii, Gokudera and Yamamoto to eat!"
"But what about you? I thought you were going to eat these..."
"It's fine! Take it as my apology for knocking into you! Plus I have something to do, so ciao!" I ran outside the classroom where I saw Bianchi just now.
I looked around. No one.
'Damn! She ran away!' I thought sadly and went back into the classroom, where they were eating my Origini.
"Ah! Akemi-chan! The Origini you made was delicious!" Kyoko complimented me.
"Oh! A-Arigatou..."
"She's right! It's so nice!" Yamamoto said and Tsuna-nii agreed with him.
"I suppose this is edible..." Gokudera muttered.
"A-Arigatou, Akemi. For saving my life just now," Tsuna-nii whispered to me.
"No problem~" I said, giving a peace sign.
