Chapter 11: Haru- The Danger Of Being Glomped To Death *shivers*
Warning: Let's leave that to your imagination~ (Lots of sweat-drops in here)
Recap: Akemi realized that she was a Baka for not thinking of lying to Bianchi.
"So... when's Kurosaki waking up?" I asked Ichigo, who wasn't giving a damn.
"I suppose... never?"
"Ichigo!"
"Okay! Okay! Geez, that was just a joke!" he said and raised his hands in surrender,"By the looks of his face, I think he's waking... today. Goddammit."
"Is he really that bad?"
"He's not that bad-"
"Isn't that nice?"
"he's that worst," Ichigo completed. I faced-palm.
"I give up trying to understand why you hate him..." I said in exasperation.
"Shouldn't you be waking up?" he raised a brow. "You got school today, no?"
"Arggghhhhh... Don't even know why I attend..."
"Oh yeah. Just a warning in case," Ichigo said. I tilted my head.
"If you see any teenage girl with a ponytail wearing the- nevermind, forgot the school's name- run."
"What?" I said, befuddled.
"Run quick, and run far."
"I hate school~ You hate school~ We are all part of 'Hate School Club'! Let's go burn the whole school building down~ Run away from Hibari now!" I sang, wiping away my drool while walking to school with Tsuna-nii and Reborn, who is walking along the wall.
"Akemi..." Tsuna-nii sweat-dropped.
"Don't play innocent! I know you hate school too!" I said accusingly, flailing my hands about.
'Plus what the heck did Ichigo mean? I hope it's not a rabid fangirl or something.'
"Konnichiwa!" a voice greeted. I looked up and saw a teenage girl walking on the wall. Who is she?
"Ciaossu," Reborn greeted.
"It's that girl," Tsuna-nii said. I hid behind Tsuna-nii and used him to block myself from that girl's view. I had a feeling I should do that.
"H-Huh? Akemi?"
"Shhhhhhh!" I placed a finger on my lips, gesturing him to shut up.
"My name is Miura Haru," she- Haru, apparently- introduced herself.
"I know. You follow us a lot when we're going to school," Reborn stated.
I sweat-dropped.
'We already have Tsuna-nii and Gokudera as stalkers! That's enough!'
Haru suddenly had this... creepily happy aura surrounding her.
"What is it today?" Reborn asked.
"Um, will you be my friend?" she questioned.
"Sure," Reborn answered.
"Hahi!?" she screamed and fell off the wall. Only to do a flip and land on the ground perfectly.
"I did it!" she said in accomplishment. I whistled, softly of course.
She's good~ It took me a month to master it, can't blame me! I was just four that time! The only time I mastered it during that month was on the spur of the moment when I was running from a crow who wanted to eat my Pocky.
No one eats my Pocky.
"It might be a little fast but can I squeeze you like this?" she requested and hugged herself tightly.
"What... the... heck?" I mumbled, still hiding behind Tsuna-nii and clutching onto his uniform.
"Don't be so friendly with me," Reborn said while Leon transformed into a gun.
"Huh?" Haru was confused.
"I'm a hitman, you see." I did my special move- faced-palm.
'I thought we already went through the introduction thingy...'
"Hey, Reborn, don't say that in public-" Tsuna-nii was interrupted when Haru raised up her hand and attempted to slap Tsuna-nii.
Keyword: attempted. Like hell I will ever let anyone slapped Tsuna-nii on my watch.
I caught her hand before her hand even touched Tsuna-nii's face.
"What are you doing?" I asked, glaring (read: as always, pouting).
"Hahi!? You're so cute!" she squealed and glomped me, tightly, something I do NOT appreciate.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"A-Akemi!" I coughed.
"A...Answer... m-my... q-q-question!" I managed to choke out.
"Hahi! I almost forgot!" she said and released me. THANK KAMI-SAMA! Ah~ Fresh air, bitches! Haru then stomped to Tsuna-nii.
"You're horrible!" she shouted,"What are you teaching the poor baby!?"
"H-Huh?" Tsuna-nii was confused. Haru gritted her teeth.
"Babies are angelic, with hearts of purest white!" she declared and grabbed Tsuna-nii's collar and began to shake him.
"Are you trying to destroy their sweet purity with your rotten heart!?"
"I-I don't get it!" Tsuna-nii exclaimed,"W-Why?"
"Oi," I finally spoke,"Let go of him." 'Bitch!' (A/N: No offence to Haru fans! *bows*)I added mentally.
"Why should I? He's teaching Reborn-chan bad things!" Haru protested.
A light shade of blue glazed over my eyes. New found confidence flowed through me. I grabbed her hands and forcefully pulled them down, effectively making her let go of Tsuna-nii.
"What proof do you even have that Tsuna-nii is teaching those kinda stuff to Reborn?" I raised a brow.
"T-That-"
"If you don't have proof, please don't accuse people randomly like that and even go as far as to slap them or any other actions which may cause harm," I stated coldly,"For all you know, Reborn is the one teaching Tsuna-nii that kinda stuff."
"Hahi!? How can a sweet innocent baby do that?"
"You don't know what we went through- heck! You don't know our lives, so please don't make mere speculations like that ever again," I said, glaring still.
A moment of silence past and the shade of blue disappeared. Then, Haru glomped me, again and more tightly.
"Ack! Let m-me go!" I said.
"Hahi! Your pouting face is so cute!" Really? REALLY!? I was saying an awesome speech and all she thought about was my pouting face is cute!? And she still haven't let go of me yet.
"Don't worry! I will definitely save Akemi-chan and Reborn-chan from that evil guy!" she declared. Oh fuck. Not only Reborn but me!? Fuck no!
"Gyahahahaha! Lambo-san has appeared!" Geh! Lambo!? Lambo came swinging to us by a rope.
"Reborn! Brace yourself!" he exclaimed and took out two grenades. Fortunately, he fell off the rope and didn't throw the grenades. He landed face flat on the ground.
"To-Ler-Ate..." Haru released me from the death-grip glomp and rushed to where Lambo was, checking if he was alright.
Lambo, for the first time ever, Arigatou for saving my life!
"Run, bitch- I mean biscuit, run!" I whispered, grabbed Tsuna-nii and ran off as if my life depended on it- heck! My life DID depend on it!
'Wait a minute, teenage girl: check. Ponytail: check. Fuck! She was the one Ichigo is warning me about!'
'Took you this fucking long to realize!?'
'You could have help by warning me!'
I looked back to where Haru was and saw her glomping Lambo.
'Gulp. Lambo, your sacrifice would not be in vain.'
'Don't talk as if he died!'
At Namimori Middle School~ In the classroom~
"Gokudera Hayato-kun," the teacher called out,"You got one hundred points on the Maths Test."
People awe in admiration.
"Sawada Akemi, Sawada Tsunayoshi and Yamamoto Takeshi."
"H-Hai!"
"Yup!"
"What..."
You can probably guess who said what.
We three stood up.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi and Yamamoto Takeshi scored only twenty points while Sawada Akemi scored... zero points. You three will be getting extra homework for failing the test."
"Well, that's not surprising," Hana commented.
I raised my hand.
"Sensei! There was a test? How come I didn't know?" I asked, tilting my head.
"That's because you slept through the test and left all the questions blank." The teacher, looking a little pissed, then proceeded to show us a blank test paper with no name on it.
"Oh~ So that's why~" I hit my fist onto my palm in realization.
"You work needs to be submitted tomorrow. You must get all the questions correct or..."
Ding dong~ The school bell rang~
"You fail. Class dismissed."
Ah~ Freedom, motherfuckers!
On the way to home~
Tsuna-nii looked depressed. Probably because Maths isn't his brightest subject.
'He isn't bright in ANY subjects.' I ignored that comment.
"Relax, Tsuna-nii!" I said,"I'm sure you will pull through somehow~ Reborn is teaching you for a reason."
As I was trying to comfort Tsuna-nii, Yamamoto came.
"Yo, Tsuna, Akemi!" Yamamoto greeted and caught up with us.
"Yo!" I greeted back.
"Do you want to do homework together? It will be a lot faster with three people than two," he said.
"Yeah! Sure!" Tsuna-nii approved.
"Then do it at our house." Gah! That voice is Reborn's! He's definitely hiding somewhere here, watching our every movements.
Kinda reminds me of Slender but with a face.
We looked around trying to spot Reborn.
"I'm here." Out of the blue, the bushes from a pot uprooted itself and turned around, revealing Reborn's face.
"HIEEEEE!" Tsuna-nii shouted (read: screamed in a girly voice) in surprise.
"Yo!" Yamamoto greeted Reborn. Reborn removed himself from his bush cosplay.
"Ciaossu."
"Why are you choosing where we should do our homework!?" Tsuna-nii questioned.
"That's because I'm/he's your tutor," Reborn and I said in unison. Creepy...
"Hahahahaha! Tsuna, you have a great tutor!" Yamamoto laughed. He's going to think of this as a joke... great. Note the sarcasm.
"By the way, I called Gokudera too," Reborn said.
"That's it. Our house is going to be blown up!" I declared.
'You have that little faith in Gokudera?'
'You have no idea...'
"Eh? You called Gokudera-kun? Well, I guess it will help. Gokudera-kun is really smart," Tsuna-nii said.
At the Sawada Household~
Ding dong~
"Ara! Come in," Maman said as she opened the door for Gokudera and Yamamoto.
"S-Sorry to intrude," Gokudera said politely.
"Konnichiwa!" Yamamoto said casually.
And they both went into the house, unaware of a girl- a.k.a Haru- lurking around near the gate.
"Welcome," Tsuna-nii greeted as Gokudera and Yamamoto came into his room while I was lying on Tsuna-nii's bed, Shiro and Kuri lying on my stomach. Reborn was sitting on his- how on earth did he get that?- armchair.
"Ciaossu!" I greeted, copying Reborn.
"Eh~ So this is Tsuna's room," Yamamoto commented.
"Well, make yourselves at home," Reborn said.
"Then we won't hold back," Yamamoto said and with Gokudera and sat down.
"But this is Tsuna-nii's room," I said, getting off the bed while Shiro and Kuri laid on Tsuna-nii's bed still.
'Like you're the one to talk!' Tsuna-nii thought, sweat-dropping.
And so we took out our school materials and started to solve the questions.
"This is helping a lot," Tsuna-nii commented,"You're really smart, Gokudera-kun."
"Surprisingly," Yamamoto added.
"Lawl~" I said, snickering a bit.
"Shut up," Gokudera retorted.
"If it's to train Juudiame to become a great Mafia boss, I, Gokudera Hayato, will do anything!" Gokudera declared, rather loudly.
"You're too loud!" Tsuna-nii said.
"My ears are ringing~" I said, because I was sitting right next to Gokudera and I have to say, his voice ain't soft.
"Ignoring the ringing in my ears, these questions," I said, pointing at them,"are just too easy."
"Eh? But you slept through the test!" Tsuna-nii said.
"Because it was too easy. I've been doing exercises in my brother's worksheets a long time ago."
"Why were you doing them?"
"I was bored," I deadpanned as if it's the most obvious answer in the world.
"Sugoi!" Tsuna-nii complimented as he watched Yamamoto solved those questions at a brisk pace.
"Ahaha! Once I read the textbook, I found out it was pretty easy," Yamamoto said.
"Hn," Gokudera grunted and took Yamamoto's worksheet to check.
"I-It's right," he said reluctantly.
'Well, his grades are only bad because he's busy with baseball. But he can understand when he feels like it.'
"I didn't get question seven though," Yamamoto said.
"Question seven?" I looked at question seven.
"You're still a Baka, Yamamoto. Ne, Juudiame?" Gokudera said only to 'Geh!' when he looked at Tsuna-nii's expression.
"I don't care about question seven, I still don't get half of all this," Tsuna-nii yelled, dejectedly.
"Juudiame! You can show your power by solving question seven in no time!"
I took the question sheet and read the question out.
"If you had a stack of hundred sheets of eleven point five centimeter squared papers, that are dropped together from a height of three meters, prove that when they fall to the ground, the stack will not fall apart."
One second...
Two second...
Three-
"I have no idea!" Tsuna-nii shouted. Heck! It wasn't even three seconds!
"Juudiame!" Gokudera tried to comfort Tsuna-nii. Well, tried.
Then, the door opened and in came...
"Here's some food!" Haru said, carrying a tray of drinks and cookies.
"Geh! It's that obsessive stalker!" I muttered.
"H-Huh! Why are you here?" Tsuna-nii asked.
"I'm here to make sure that there are no bad influences around Reborn-chan and Akemi-chan!" Haru declared.
"Oh heck no! I'm fine with you being obsessed with Reborn but with me? Hel- I mean heck to the fuc- I mean fudge NO!" I shouted and ran to hide behind Yamamoto. He IS the tallest out of all of us here...
"Akemi-chan! Daijoubu! I will get you out of here!" Haru said.
"What!? Are you deaf or something?" I mumbled, clutching onto Yamamoto's shirt.
"Mah, mah, Akemi," Yamamoto tried to calm me down. Well, if your definition of being calmed down is hyper-ventilation!
I was having a horrible time thinking of what she's going to do to me...
Anyways, skipping my imagination, Haru put down the cookies and drinks and glared intently at Tsuna-nii.
Yamamoto drank his drink and said,"I didn't know you knew someone from Midori Middle School, Tsuna."
"Huh? Isn't Midori Middle School that super-hard-to-get-into, prestigious girl's school?" Tsuna-nii said.
"That's their uniform, right?" Yamamoto asked Haru to comfirm.
"Un." Haru nodded.
"She could probably solved this problem!" Yamamoto stated.
"Ah!" Tsuna-nii realized and nodded, then he and Yamamoto looked at Haru for her help.
"I understand. Then, if I'm able to solve the problem, you will never get involved with Reborn-chan ever again," Haru said.
"Then solve all you want~ I'm not going to give a damn about Reborn being taken away," I said and was about to leave the room.
"Oh, and you will also never be involved with Akemi-chan too."
If I was drinking something, I'm sure I would have spit it ALL out.
"What the actual fu-" Thankfully, Yamamoto restrained me and covered my mouth before I could shout out anymore profanities.
"Mah, mah, Akemi. Calm down!" I managed to escape Yamamoto's grip.
"How can I calm down!? I'm so not going to spend the rest of my life with her, okay!?" I pointed at Haru, face red due to shouting.
"But that's for Reborn and Akemi to decide," Tsuna-nii said.
"Heh, sounds interesting. If you think you can solve it then go ahead!" Gokudera said smugly and shoved the question sheet to Haru.
"What the heck, Gokudera!? Why the hell are you letting her solve the goddamn question!? Your future is not the one at stake here!" I shouted and once again, Yamamoto restrained me before I could bludgeoned Gokudera with a textbook.
"G-Gokudera-kun! A-Akemi!" Tsuna-nii said in an attempt to stop us.
"I've seen this problem before," Haru said. I knocked my head against the table.
"That's it. My life is officially fucked as always," I mumbled, a gloomy aura surrounded me.
A few minutes passed~
Everyone, please take note of the time which is currently about 2 in the afternoon.
Haru stared at the question and thought hard. And when I say hard I mean hard. No wonder she goes to Midori Middle School, glad she's not going to Namimori Middle School. I shivered. I fear for that future.
We all, except Reborn who was polishing his gun, stared at Haru, seeing whether she could solved the question.
"Just a little longer," Haru spoke after a while of thinking.
A few minutes passed again~
"Almost there."
The time now is 2.05 in the afternoon.
We all, except again Reborn who was now playing with Leon, still stared at Haru.
And did I mention I was sleeping my ass off along with Shiro and Kuri? Don't ask me how I know what's going on.
A few hours passed~
6 in the evening is now the current time.
I woke up and saw the guys still staring while Reborn now was doing a magic trick. He placed Leon into his fedora and when he showed the hat, Leon was not there. Leon then appeared in Reborn's hair. I clapped.
"Bravo!" I complimented.
'Shouldn't you be more worried about Haru solving the question?'
'Oh yeah!' I started to panic.
'Sometimes I forgot you're forgetful.'
'Can't you just tell me the plot? You know, right?'
'That doesn't mean I can fucking tell you! If I did, there might be a chance where we messed up the whole plot.'
'... Doesn't my presence already messed up the plot?'
'...'
'Akemi: 2 Ichigo: Still at 0!'
'You're still counting from that VERY long time ago?'(A/N: Chapter 5: Arashi's similarities)
'Ignoring that... Please say she doesn't know, please say she doesn't know, please say she doesn't-'
"I can see it!" Haru exclaimed.
"Son of a bit-" I shouted but changed my word halfway,"biscuit. I said (shouted actually) biscuit! Totally didn't say a female dog in another word!"
'Oh, who are you kidding?'
I could somehow see Ichigo doing a classic face-palm.
A few hours passed~ How many times must I type this...
I looked at the clock. It read 8, it's night time already!? She had been staring at this question for like freaking 6 hours!?
"Gomenasai!" she shouted, "I couldn't do it!"
"YES!" I yelled and did a victory dance in my head.
"What was that 'I can solve it!' you lying girl!?" Gokudera shouted.
"I never said I could solve it," Haru retaliated,"I said I could see it! And you're calling me a liar..."
Tears started to well up in her eyes.
"You shouldn't make her cry," Yamamoto said, looking disapprovingly at Gokudera.
"That's right, Gokudera-kun," Tsuna-nii agreed.
"A true Mafia member treats a woman with respect," Reborn chirped in.
"But women's emotions are like a roller-coaster so you never know if she's going to squeal like crazy the next minute," I said.
They all gave me the 'WTF?' face.
"What? I thought we were talking about random facts to do with women."
"You do realize you just insulted yourself in a way?" Gokudera said, raising a brow.
"Hey! I ain't a woman, bro! I'm just an innocent girl who knows how to swear!"
'Technically, I doubt innocent and swear should belong in the same sentence,' thought Tsuna-nii.
"Now back to business, Gokudera apologized to Haru, Haru forgives and then we can end this drama and go to sleep!"
"A-Ano, my bad," Gokudera apologized to Haru, however reluctantly.
The sound of the window opening was heard and a cow tail could be seen.
'OMFG! This is the worst possible time Lambo could appear!'
"Who are you? I'm Lambo. Who am I? You're Lambo. I'm Lambo~" Lambo sang and entered the room, only to be greeted by the sight of Gokudera being pissed and wanting to smash the living crap out of Lambo.
'Read the atmosphere, Lambo! It might help you survive for a few more... hours! At the very least.'
"I only... um... happened to be passing by," Lambo said and was about to walk out of the room when he saw cookies on the table and stopped in his tracks.
Lambo jumped on the table and started to eat the cookies.
"When I eat cookies, I get hyper! After I get hyper, I get sleepy," Lambo said while stuffing his mouth with cookies.
And I swear Gokudera had half a mind to bomb Lambo up and the other half wanting Lambo to choke himself with cookies.
"I can't control myself anymore," Gokudera mumbled. See? I was right... I think.
"Kyaaaa! We meet again! I'm so happy!" Haru squealed and hugged Lambo.
And was that sparkles around her?
"See? Wasn't I right? Just now she was crying and now she is squealing!" They just stared at me in disbelief.
"I don't get it," Gokudera said and scratched his head. I patted his back.
"Don't worry, Gokudera. You're not the only man who doesn't understand a woman's emotions."
After Lambo ate all the cookies~
Phew! Managed to convince him to sleep! It was kinda annoying hearing him scream 'Pika-nee! Pika-nee!' all the time.
"Oh yeah! Since it's a middle school question, an adult should be able to figure it out," Haru suggested.
"Oh!" we all awed in realization.
"Why didn't we think of that?" I muttered, realizing I'm a Baka.
"But it can't just be anyone," Tsuna-nii said.
I heard some footsteps coming up the stairs.
"I have someone in mind," Haru replied,"We were just in the kitchen together."
"The kitchen?" Tsuna-nii and I said in unison.
Footsteps stopped outside the door.
"She's called Bianchi-san," Haru said and smiled.
One second-
"Bianchi!?"
"Aneki!?" Tsuna-nii and Gokudera exclaimed in less than a second.
"Here's a midnight snack," Bianchi's voice was heard and the door was opened.
"Gokudera! Block the frigging door!" I yelled and blocked the door together with Gokudera.
"Let me in," Bianchi said and obviously we didn't.
"Hey!" Yamamoto greeted her.
"Don't just go along and greet her!" Gokudera yelled.
"Yeah! Especially since our stomachs might get melted!" I added.
"Hayato, you're taking the gender of your older sister too much into consideration," Bianchi stated.
"N-No, I'm not!" Gokudera protested.
"If it helps, it's actually your face- not that it is ugly or anything, it's pretty," I said.
Gokudera and I pushed with all our might and managed to close the door.
"You guys seem to get along so well," Yamamoto commented.
"No, we don't!" A tick mark was visible on Gokudera's forehead.
"If your definition of getting along well is pushing a person out of a room with all your might, then you're right! They get along pretty well," I spoke.
I placed my ear next to the door.
"It seems it can't be helped," I heard Bianchi said. I heard some movements and I paled considerably when I heard what she said.
"Dissolving Sakura-mochi!"
I heard the door knob melting slowly and I backed away from the door and ran to Tsuna-nii's bed- where Shiro and Kuri were- and I hugged Shiro tightly.
"Look, she's-" Gokudera tried to explain to Yamamoto but was cut off when he felt something hot at his hand. He let go of the door knob completely.
"Hot!" he exclaimed as the he touched melted door knob.
Well shit. The door opened.
"So, how do you like my poison cooking? My powerful Dissolving Sakura-mochi," she asked.
"You can do that with poison cooking too?" Tsuna-nii mumbled, disbelief written all over his face.
Gokudera's stomach started to make weird noises and he fell to the ground, clutching his stomach.
Oh yeah! He had a See-Bianchi-And-Get-Stomachaches sickness. A.k.a SBAGS sickness.
"It's dangerous!" Haru finally spoke. I can't believe she realized that now! I mean she should have realized it when Reborn pointed a gun at her!?
After getting poor Gokudera onto the bed along with Lambo, Shiro and Kuri, Bianchi looked at the question and stared at it in silence.
Reborn was just changing into his pajamas.
"Since I'm the one who recommended Bianchi-san, if she solves it then I win," Haru stated.
WTF!? OMFG!?
"Don't just make up rules!" Tsuna-nii said.
"Yeah! Listen to him!" I shouted, clutching my hair and pulling it.
"Hn," Bianchi snorted.
Yamamoto and Haru 'Oh!'-ed, thinking Bianchi had solved it.
"Oh hell no..." I mumbled, covering my face with my hands.
"That's right. I don't care about this!" Bianchi then proceeded to tear up Tsuna-nii's question sheet.
"Ahhhhh!" Tsuna-nii screamed and clutched his head in horror.
Tsuna-nii wanted to stop Bianchi from going further but Yamamoto restrained him.
"Mah, mah, Tsuna," Yamamoto said, sweat-dropping.
"Now you know how I feel, Tsuna-nii," I said with a serious and solemn look.
"It has no love," Bianchi deadpanned as if that's a good excuse for tearing a question sheet.
"And that's going on my 'Good Excuse Not To Do Homework' List," I said, nodding my head.
"You have such a list?" Yamamoto asked.
"No, of course not! Is my sarcasm really that bad?"
"It has nothing to do with me anyway," Bianchi stated and left the room.
Yamamoto finally let go of Tsuna-nii and the latter immediately went to his torn up question sheet- it didn't even look like one anymore.
"My question sheet!" Tsuna-nii exclaimed and panicked.
"Don't worry. I have a question sheet too. I can let you copy mine," Yamamoto said in an attempt to cheer up Tsuna-nii.
Haru stared at the question and she spoke up after a while.
"Oh right! This question was from a book my dad was reading!"
"Eh?" We all looked at her with the 'Really?' look. Well, Reborn was just sleeping not giving an ass about what's happening.
After Haru's father came~
Haru's father looked at the question and decided to dance to the Pokemon theme song- Actually he just looked at it.
"This is my dad," Haru introduced.
'No shit Sherlock, who else would it be?'
'Ichigo! Play nice!'
'Don't make it sound like I'm Shiro!'
'Is it just me or does that sound like you're whining?'
"He's a university maths professor," Haru continued.
"You could have called him in the first place," Tsuna-nii said. Haru's father looked up from the sheet.
"There's no problem with you not being able to solve this question," Haru's father said,"This is a hard university-level question."
"High university level?" Tsuna-nii and I said together.
"You cannot prove this because it cannot happen," he said.
"Really?" Yamamoto said.
"Yes, even as a university professor, I cannot prove it."
'Wait, if even he can't prove it, that means that Haru would somehow take Reborn and me one way or another...'
'HELL TO THE FUCK NO IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN ON MY WATCH!'
I slammed my hands on the table.
"No way it can't be proven!" I declared and grabbed the question sheet from Haru's father's grip.
"B-But he said it can't be proven-" Tsuna-nii said but was cut off.
"And I say it CAN be! I'm so going to solve this question with MY DYING WILL!" I shouted back at him.
"Akemi is really energetic about this, isn't she?" Yamamoto stated.
"I think it's only because her future is at stake," Tsuna-nii mumbled.
"Yeah! What he says!" I yelled and looked at the question again.
'If you had a stack of hundred sheets of eleven point five centimeter squared papers, that are dropped together from a height of three meters, prove that when they fall to the ground, the stack will not fall apart.'
"Okay, keywords here are stack will not fall apart. Since evena university maths professor can't solve it, I can safely assume this must be a think-outside-but-pressed-way-up-against-the-box question," I explained. Everyone stared at me, some sweat-dropping.
"Stack will not fall apart..." I muttered as I placed my hand on my chin in a thinking position.
'Dang it! Think outside the box, Akemi! Think!'
'Perhaps I should help you, seeing as you're in trouble...' Who was that voice?
'Who are you?'
'Introductions will come later, right now let's solve this question.'
'Alright, fine. But I have no freaking idea or clue!'
'It's actually pretty easy.'
'Then why don't you tell me?'
'Because you said and I quote " I'm so going to solve this question with MY DYING WILL!" that's why.'
'Son of a gun...'
'Come on, think.'
'I am! Give me a hint or something, please!'
'Okay, if you have two pieces of paper, what would you do to prevent them from being separated?'
'I would use a clip and clip them together?'
'Precisely. Now what about a huge stack of papers? What would you do then?'
'... Oh my freaking gosh! You're a genius! Arigatou!'
'You're welcome.'
"I freaking solved it!" I shouted, jumping about.
"Eh!? Really?" Tsuna-nii said, eyes sparkling with hope.
"Yeah!" I said, nodding,"What if the stack of paper had glue on them at first? Then when the stack fell, the glue would keep the papers together and it would not fall apart!"
"Oh! I wouldn't have thought..." Haru's father awed.
"Oh!" the others awed too in realization.
"Or was that just wit?" Tsuna-nii mumbled.
"Correct, Akemi. Well done, as expected of my student," Reborn said.
"Arigatou- Wait! Since when am I your student!?"
"Since I set foot onto this house."
"That long ago, eh?" I faced-palm.
"Those sideburns..." Haru's father spoke all of the sudden after seeing Reborn woke up,"Y-You must be..."
"Dad, you know Reborn-chan?" Haru asked.
"Reborn? That isn't his name. His name is... Boreen!"
"Boreen?" I said, tilting my head,"Isn't that just read as 'Reborn' backwards?"
"He makes rare appearances in the scientific community. He never fails to solve problems that were deemed impossible! The genius mathematician, Professor Boreen!"
"Well, except for the name part, that does sounds like Reborn..." I said, crossing my arm.
"Seriously!?" Tsuna-nii questioned. But all he got was the sight of Reborn sleeping with a bubble coming out of his nose.
"H-He's sleeping..." Tsuna-nii stated.
"He was just talking in his sleep," Yamamoto said,"He's still just a baby."
"I guess so but this 'baby' can kill a person with just one finger... I think," I mumbled.
"Okay then, Reborn-chan and Akemi-chan, you can come live in my house," Haru said.
"Hey! Wait a sec-" Tsuna-nii and I called out. The bubble from Reborn's nose burst and he woke.
"Akemi is the one who ended up solving it. This match is a tie," Reborn stated. Haru then became depressed and pouted.
"YES! Thank Kami-sama!" 'And the mysterious voice too!'
"I'll just tell you, until I make Tsuna a great tenth generation Mafia boss, I cannot depart this house."
"... I'm starting to see why Haru misunderstood Tsuna-nii."
"Mafia? Juudiame?" And Reborn went back to sleeping.
Seriously, even I can't wake up that fast and sleep that fast! Though I wish I could...
The next day~ On the way to school~
"Yawn~ So tired..." I mumbled, rubbing my eyes.
"Yesterday was full of troubles," Tsuna-nii said and yawned together with me.
We walked along the street until we could hear heavy- VERY heavy- footsteps behind us.
"Are? I'm so tired, my ears are buzzing," Tsuna-nii said.
"Tsuna-nii," I pulled onto his shirt to get his attention,"It's not buzzing. There is something behind us."
We turned around slowly and saw a person- at least I hope it's a person- dressed in an armor and wearing a helmet and is holding a hockey stick.
"HIEEEEEEEE!" we screamed in unison and did the natural thing to do- run.
We ran as fast as we could, took a turn and continued running but the person did not give up on pursuing us.
"Ehhhhh!? How long are you going to follow us?" Tsuna-nii yelled at the person.
"That's right! This is breaking the Namimori rule- Wait! We are not even on school grounds!"
"I don't even think there's even a rule for this!"
We continued running and we took a turn to cross the bridge at the riverbank but our clumsiness just had to act up at that moment and we both tripped and our faces landed onto the pavement of the bridge.
"Ite te te..." we both groaned in pain and stood up. Though because of that, the person caught up with us.
"Hah... hah... hah..." the person panted.
"T-Tsuna-san... Akemi-chan..." the person- who I discovered was actually the obsessive stalk- I mean Haru- said,"Ohayo gozaimasu."
"W-Who are you?" Tsuna-nii asked. I faced-palm, obviously the voice gave it away! Haru then took off her helmet and revealed her face to us.
"It's Haru, who was thinking too much last night and wasn't able to sleep."
"Eh? You dress like that when you don't get enough sleep?" Tsuna-nii questioned.
"I pity you when it's summer time," I added.
"Of course not. If that was true, I'd be a Baka," Haru said, bags under her eyes.
"Then why?" Tsuna-nii asked.
"If Reborn-chan is really a hitman and you're going to be a tenth generation Mafia boss, then you must be really strong," Haru stated.
"What!?" Tsuna-nii exclaimed.
'Actually no. This guy here is scared of freaking CHIHUAHUAS.' Have to agree with Ichigo on that one.
Haru put back on her helmet again. How does she not get baked or fried in there!?
"If you win, then I'll accept everything. I won't even complain about Reborn-chan and Akemi-chan's way of living! I ask you to fight!"
"What-!?" Haru charged at Tsuna-nii and raised her hockey stick to hit him. But, she did not managed to as the hockey stick was too heavy for her.
"Oh no no no no..." she said as she struggled with the stick.
"Are you okay?" Tsuna-nii asked in concern.
"I'm fine!" she replied and finally managed to swing down the stick but due to it's slowness, Tsuna-nii managed to avoid the blow.
"Hahi!" She lifted her stick and got into a battle position. She glared at Tsuna-nii. Actually, I don't really know if she was since she's wearing her helmet.
"W-W-Wait!" Tsuna-nii tried to persuade her into not battling.
"Arguing is useless! Hold it!" she shouted as Tsuna-nii ran off to the other side of the bridge.
"Don't chase me!" Tsuna-nii yelled and ran to the opposite side.
"Hold it!" Tsuna-nii ran to the other side again. Me? I'm in the middle of the bridge just taking pictures with my phone of what's happening, just for the heck of it. Plus, I'm sure Tsuna-nii will survive.
"I'm not going to become a Mafia boss!"
"Ah, Tsuna-nii, you probably shouldn't have said that..." I tried to warn. But alas, when have my warnings ever been heeded?
"So you really are just toying with Reborn-chan!" Yep! Wasn't I right?
"No, I'm not-" But he was cut off when Haru swung her hockey stick at his head and he had to duck.
"Please stop dodging it!" Haru said as she spun around due to the force of her swing.
"And let you beat the crap out of him? I doubt he's going to do that anytime soon," I answered for Tsuna-nii, still taking pictures.
"Juudiame!" Tsuna-nii and I turned our heads. Ah, another obsessive stalk- I mean Gokudera came! Along with Yamamoto! Who's not a stalker.
"Please get out of the way!" Gokudera shouted.
"Huh?" Tsuna-nii and I looked up and saw a bunch of lit dynamites.
"What the heck!? I thought I confiscated them all!" I shouted, pulling my hair.
"No wonder a huge supply of my dynamites are missing! It was you!" Gokudera glared and pointed at me.
"Up there!" Tsuna-nii warned Haru and pointed to the dynamites.
"Hmph. You think I'm that naive? I won't be fooled by tricks like that!"
'I can now understand what people means when they say "your naive-ness will kill you one day".'
Tsuna-nii and I ran away from the dynamites. As for Haru, she only noticed the dynamites when they were near her so you know, she got caught in the explosion.
"Hahiiiii!" she screamed.
"I can't see shit!" I cursed as smoke met my view. How is Haru? No matter how much of a stalker she is, she's still... a friend I suppose.
The smoke cleared after a second but all we could see was her helmet and hockey stick. We looked around but we can't see her so we decided to look at the river.
"Is everything alright?" Yamamoto asked as he and Gokudera caught up with us.
"You're okay, right?" Gokudera questioned, concerned for his beloved Juudiame.
"No. Everything is not alright," Tsuna-nii replied and pointed at the river- where Haru was.
"Why do you have those- Wahhh! Help me!" Haru shouted, flailing her arms about in the water in an attempt to stay afloat.
"This is bad and I can't swim," Tsuna-nii stated.
"We all know it's bad!" I said,"Screw this!" I jumped into the river.
Splash! The cold water enveloped my body. I swam as fast as I could towards Haru and tried to keep her afloat but to no avail.
"I-It's no use! The armor is too heavy!" I yelled as I focused on keeping Haru afloat.
'Shit! This is bad! At this rate, I'm going to drown with her!' I thought as I chocked on the water.
"Hieee! The armor is too heavy and I can't swim!" Tsuna-nii panicked,"Ne, one of you two has to save them!"
"You're gonna save them." That voice belonged to Reborn! Why no appear sooner!?
BANG! Reborn shot Tsuna-nii with the dying will bullet. A wave of water covered me and I was officially IN the water with Haru.
Fuck no am I going to let go of her and let her drown!
I heard a faint 'REBORN! I'll save Haru and Akemi with my dying will!' and... I'm slowly losing my consciousness. Well, shit happens a lot. Especially to me.
After a while, I felt someone entered the water- if the huge force of water hitting me was of any indication. Then immediately, I saw Tsuna-nii- who was half-naked- swimming at an incredible speed towards us and he carried Haru bridal style out of the water.
Thanks to Tsuna-nii carrying Haru, I was able to swim to the surface as there was no weight pulling me down.
"Argh! Remind me that being a life-saver is out of my career list," I said, exhausted. I swam to where Tsuna-nii and the others were- at the side of the riverbank.
After Haru and Akemi dried themselves~ (I forgot to fucking save after here... I nearly fucking gave up writing this chapter.)
"I hope you've learned your lesson not to bother Juudiame," Gokudera said, glaring at her- scratch that. He glares at everyone except Tsuna-nii.
"A girl shouldn't swing something like that around," Yamamoto said.
"Yamamoto... I feel insulted," I said, drying my hair with a towel.
"Kuh!" I heard Haru laughed.
"Hold onto me! RAHHHHH! I'll save Haru with my dying will!" Haru recited what Tsuna-nii had shouted earlier.
Me? I was just doubling over in laughter.
"I thought only people on TV says cheesy things like that," Haru said, having this dreamy expression on her face.
'Technically, this was suppose to be an anime show... so I think that counts?'
"S-She's not sorry at all," Tsuna-nii said.
"Tsuna-kun." Ah! It's Kyoko!
"Eh? Kyoko-chan!" I feel bad for Tsuna-nii since he's wearing black boxers with pink hearts on it.
Realizing that just made laughed harder than ever.
"What's going on here?" Hana asked, but she's mainly looking at me laughing while on the floor.
"Swimming in the morning? Aren't you cold?" Kyoko questioned. Ah, Kyoko~ The second most oblivious person in the world. First is Maman of course.
"Well... no... err... that's... it... there's a reason for this," Tsuna-nii fumbled over his words.
"I'll save Haru with my dying will!" Haru shouted and Tsuna-nii tried to quiet her down but to no avail.
"If you don't wear something, you'll catch a cold," Kyoko stated.
"U-Un..."
"Tsuna-san. You were... wonderful. Juu~Dia~Me~ It seems I now have a crush on you!" Haru confessed.
If I die, this will definitely be written on my tombstone-
Here lies Akemi...
Who died from laughing...
Even till the end...
She was taking pictures with her phone.
Ain't that a nice poem? Except that it doesn't rhyme. Don't ask me how my phone survived. Call it ANIME LOGIC~! (A/N: The internet was faulty and it didn't fucking saved here. I was so fucking pissed off!)
"W-What are you talking about!?" Tsuna-nii said.
"I feel like being tightly embraced by you!" Haru said. I patted Tsuna-nii on his back.
"Now you know how I feel when I'm glomped by her. Good luck," I said and ran off to hide behind Yamamoto for safety precaution.
And so the game of cat and mouse bagan! Tsuna-nii as the mouse and Haru as the cat. Tsuna-nii ran off trying to avoid Haru but Haru was hot on his tail.
"Yappari, Baka ne," Hana commented, after seeing what had happened.
"Hn." I heard someone grunted and looked up. Turned out it was Hibari.
"That crowd is such an eyesore," Hibari commented. That was so Hibari-ish.
"C-Chotto, can you please calm down?" Tsuna-nii tried to persuade Haru into not glomping him, to the extent that he had to climb up the wall.
"Sure! Just call me Haru! Juudiame~"
I ended up rolling on the floor laughing my fucking ass off while taking a picture of the scene.
"Why do I have to put up with this!?" Tsuna-nii shouted in exasparation.
"W-Who asked y-you to be s-so awesome in d-dying will m-mode!" I managed to say while laughing in between, wiping away my tears too.
We observed the scene from a distance, smiling. While for Reborn, he was sitting on the stairs connected to the bridge.
Was it just me or did he gave a slight smile? Oh well. All well that ends well I suppose~
"Achooo!" I sneezed.

I hope that was someone talking about me, not because I caught a cold- Oh fuck! We fucking forgot about school!
A/N (More like Author's Drabbles): Ciaossu, people! First of all, I'm so fucking sorry for updating 2 fucking weeks late. I know you are probably pissed (No, I don't really know) and would probably want to throw rotten tunas at me (Again, no I don't.) Second of all, my lame, pathetic piece of excuse is that school work is piling on me (Even though fucking exams are over, there's more school work to do. I mean like WTF!? Where's the fucking logic in that!?) The first week is because I was involved in a project to raise funds for the less fortunate people in my school. It lasted the whole week and it was really meaningful. The second week is because I was on a school trip to Malaysia and it was hell lot of fun! I came back only on Thursday and Friday is because my group and I fucking forgot to do a social studies project and we had to rush through it. Saturday is because I was lazy and now here I am with chapter 11 done. Hope you enjoyed reading this. Please leave a review or a favorite or a follow if you like it. Stay awesome people and don't be a lazy bitch like me. (No offence.) Ciao ciao~
Next update: Tomorrow is a holiday but just to be safe, I will probably update on 9/11/2013
