HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
I'm up with the third chapter! ^^
I'm really happy I could finish it today! School started again and because of some other things I didn't really have time to write. But I won! Me: 1 School: 0 :D
Thank you for all the reviews! They helped me a lot! I will answer them now at the end of the chapter. ^^
I hope the characters are not too OOC... If yes, then I'm sorry!
I think that's all so: Enjoy!
Disclaimer: KHR and it's characters are not mine.
By the time Chrome arrived to the reunion she really started to think that this wasn't her day. Firstly, she had to cut her hair so it didn't look like Mukuro-sama's anymore. But the Millefiores were searching for a women with pineapple-hair AND an eye-patch. So, for the time being she had to cut it down so it wouldn't give her away.
Secondly, she had to go through Namimori while trying to avoid Byakuran's man. And it wasn't easy. She was nearly caught a few times. Thank God she could use illusions!
And lastly, just when she was about to arrive, Kyoko and Hana showed up and took her to Kyoko's house. There they gave her one of Kyoko's dresses and helped her with her make up. During all this Chrome didn't utter a word. They didn't tell Kyoko and Hana a thing about Boss's death. Of course, Kyoko and Hana knew about the Millefiore, but they never tell them how serious situation they were in now. All the Guardians agreed that the less they knew is the better for the girls. But it still hurt to lie them.
Chrome personally, thought that Kyoko and Hana wasn't that dumb to believe in their lie, and the two knew that something was wrong. Still, thew knew that even if they asked, the Guardians wouldn't answer. Normally Chrome would have told Kyoko and Hana everything, but with Boss's death everything changed, and now it was out of question.
So she stayed quiet instead.
And she still wasn't fully used to the girls' kindness towards her, either. She wasn't as shy as she was ten years ago. But with Boss's death she averted back to her very shy self. Somehow, when Boss died the courage she gathered since their first meeting, died too. A small smile appeared on her face as Chrome remembered the first time she met her Boss, during the Mist-Ring battle. To tell the truth, she wasn't really impressed. But Mukuro-sama warned her not to judge him by first glance. So she waited and was able to see the real Boss, who would even risk dying for them.
And he did just that. Boss died for them. For her. For Mukuro-sama. For the Guardians. Everyone he cared for.
Chrome sighed. She really hoped Gokudera or Yamamoto (or both) would be at the reunion. So, when she and the girls stepped in the classroom and spotted Yamamoto in his old chair Chrome was so happy! And now that she was staring at the man at the door, Chrome couldn't believe her eye.
Gokudera Hayato became more manlier and calm during the years. His silver coloured hair grew a little and it spiked out on the edges in a really cool way. His green eyes were slightly narrower then ten years ago. Under his eyes were barely visible dark shadows, as if he didn't slept much lately. On Gokudera's face was his usual hostile scowl. He was wearing a black tuxedo suit with a red shirt underneath it. He looked like a professional business man.
Or, in Nezu's point of view, a Mafia man. But no, it couldn't be. Even Gokudera wouldn't sink that low. And to tell the truth, Nezu was a little frightened because of Gokudera's presence in the classroom. He didn't know if it was because of the Mafia-looking clothes, or because of the mere fact that the used-to-be-delinquent was here. Who would come next?! Hibari?! he hoped not. Even No-good Tsuna or Longchamp would be better than that.
"Sorry for being late" muttered Gokudera than, before anyone could say a thing, he went to his old chair and sat down. Nezu (and almost everyone in the room) couldn't help but gape at Gokudera. Was this really Gokudera Hayato? Because they started to doubt that! Not even in their wildest dreams could they imagine him saying 'sorry' to anybody. Aside from Tsuna, of course. They still didn't understand why Gokudera was so loyal to Tsuna.
Speaking of which, if Gokudera was here, than Tsuna should be here at the reunion too, right? But no. The few that realised this fact started looking around, searching for him, but Tsuna wasn't here. Most of them shrugged it off, but not Nezu. It was really strange for him. But Nezu still didn't voice out his thoughts. It wasn't his business after all.
"Alright!" said Nezu, gaining everyone's attention. "So, as I wanted to say it before" he shot a slightly reprimanding look at Gokudera, but he wasn't even looking at Nezu. "it's time to know more about each other's ten years. So everyone, gather into a groups of three and discover the changes in the school!"
Everybody was about to stand up when Nezu spoke again.
"Sasagawa-san and Kuroda-san! You two stay here, please."
"Yes, sensei!" said Kyoko.
"Alright." yawned Kuroda.
Chrome, Yamamoto and Gokudera formed their group right away, before anyone could ask them to join their group. It may have sounded rude, but Chrome and Yamamoto wouldn't let this chance slip away from them. It was a miracle that Gokudera was here at the reunion!
The three Guardians stood outside of the classroom, waiting for the others. Nezu sent them out to wait until the remaining persons in the room gather into groups. Just as Gokudera expected Yamamoto and Chrome immediately bombarded him with questions. And even if ten years have passed away already, and Gokudera became calmer he still wasn't that patient.
"Will you two stop with those stupid questions?" growled Gokudera, successfully silencing the Rain and Mist Guardians.
"Haha... Sorry Gokudera!" answered Yamamoto, smiling sheepishly. He couldn't help but act as his younger self when he was around his friends. "But you really came! I thought you wouldn't come. But...why were you late?"
"Che." Gokudera took out his cigarettes and was about to light one, but he put it back into one of his pockets instead. "My flight was cancelled. And because of those bastards the private jet didn't arrive in time."
Yamamoto narrowed his eyes. Chrome's smile faltered a little. They immediately recognised the code Gokudera used. It was the emergency code that only the eight Guardians knew. Each one of them had a different signal to show that they will use the code. Gokudera's was his usual 'Che' and that, he took out his cigarettes before putting it back into his pocket. Every Guardian knew that Gokudera never put back a cigarette. If he didn't want to have one, then he never had one, if he wanted one, than he definitely lighted one.
"Well, at least you're here!" smiled Yamamoto, but in his mind he was decoding everything Gokudera said.
The 'flight was cancelled' meant that he was detained by someone. And 'because of those bastards the private jet didn't arrive in time'. The 'jet' meant letter in their code, and the private... The private... It meant important! And he 'didn't arrive in time' could be decoded as 'isn't a secret anymore'. But... 'those bastards'? As Tsuna and Reborn wouldn't approve of cursing, words like that weren't part of the code. So, who are those bastards?
Yamamoto looked at Chrome, who seemed to be thinking about the same thing too. He was about to ask Gokudera, but the classroom's door slammed open just when he was about to speak. The others came out of the room. Yamamoto shrugged. It looked like he has to ask Gokudera later.
Nezu announced that they could now go and discover the school. The groups of men and women departed. Gokudera's, Chrome's and Yamamoto's group first wanted to go to the rooftop, as there they would be able to ask questions about the coded sentences.
They were walking through the corridors of the third floor when they heard a scream a floor beneath them.
" I was detained. And because of those bastards that important letter isn't a secret anymore."
And here it is, the end of the third chapter! I'm already writing the next chapter, so I hope I will finish it sooner than this.
And I finished the chapter like the previous again! XD The last line is the decoded version of what Gokudera said. I think it's better if I wrote down for the ones who are too lazy (like me) to decode it for themselves. XD
So, it's time to answer the reviews! ^^
Jester. Princess: It really is a little different from the other reunion fan-fictions... And it's kind of strange for me too, that Tsun's not in the fic (well... personally). I don't think they are complete...yet... :D
Reborn-Story-Reader: Well, I think it's a good sign if you cry because of it and you still reading it! :)
SoiSoi: Haha! I don't think I will bash the students... so much XD
Fi Suki Saki: Noo, Aho-Nezu won't mock Tsuna! I won't let him! (or I will be the one to kill him ^^ ) And Naito's death came all of a sudden, and because we don't know what happened to him...
FallenxLinkin: I wonder too XD I don't really know yet.
PetiteSkylark: He WILL dye... someday...
KatoKimeka-chan: Thank you for the tomatoe! ^^ The cake helped more, but the tomatoe was helpful too! I think this update was soon enough so... pleeeeaaase don't kill me with tomatoes! *begs*
The NSIGirl: Here is the continuation! So you won't strangle me...right? o.o I think it's a little longer chapter than the previous. And I hope the next one will be even longer! ^^
Angry Corn People: First I wanted Gokudera to arrive sooner too, but than I changed my mind. I think it's better this way. Nope, they won't tell them that Tsuna is in the hospital ( but it's not a bad idea... ). But I can't tell you what will happen :D (Because I'm evil. Muhahahaha! XD)
Long live marshmallows: Someone has to write such an angsty reunion fic too! XD
KagamineRin81: Ehehe! ^^" I forgot to mention that Kyoko and the others didn't know about Tsuna's death. Well at least it's in the new chapter! Thank you for (unintentionally) reminding me! ^^
La Pianissima: Don't worry the next chapter won't be that angsty! Just a little. :)
Guest, Alice and AnimLover1234: Aaand it's updated! Thank you!
Thank you for all those reviews! *-*
I think I'll go and write the next chapter! Bye-bii~!
