A/N: First of all, I would like to apologize for not updating soon enough, school is only starting to get rough so I would be pretty busy, but I'll still try and find time to do this. Second, thank you for loving this story. As for those who wants to know who Tsuna will end up with, it's actually… A secret for now.
But I'll most probably be doing a poll to figure who you want Tsuna to end up with. Happy reading guys!
It was a beautiful spring day in Namimori Japan. The breeze of the air was warm; sakura trees are starting to bloom which was always the best view in Japan; the soft chirping of the birds and everything else. It was such a perfect day…
At least, for the inhabitants in Namimori except one.
"Wake up Dame-Tsuna! You still have classes to go to today!" Reborn hollered above the loud music blaring inside Tsuna's room that he was playing.
"What the heck Reborn! Could you at least wake me up in a gentler way and not causing me to be deaf? I hope you haven't forgotten that I still am a girl and you're a guy and that I'll be needing my hearing to be the Mafia boss you want me to be. And you once even said that you're a complete gentleman. I'm starting to doubt it right now." Tsuna said as she was rubbing her hurt side.
'Oh I'm a complete gentleman alright. If not, I would have already taken you here a long time ago.' Reborn thought, but what he said was different from what he thought.
"Don't be a baby Dame-Tsuna. And Vongola could easily have a replacement for you to hear again if ever you did lose your hearing abilities. And don't cuss. It's unlikely for a lady to cuss." He said as if it was nothing, while Tsuna was completely oblivious of what Reborn's real train of thought is.
Tsuna only stared at her tutor's older form blankly. After the "Battle of the Arcobaleno," the bodies of the ex-Arcobaleno started changing back to their older form a month after the battle, and nearly a year after the first signs of changing, they finally took their adult form.
Reborn noticed Tsuna looking at him, which he didn't really mind, without her moving at all and only staying at the same place for the past minute now.
"You do know that you still have classes right? You'll be late if you keep staring at me like that." Reborn 'reminded' Tsuna. 'Even though, I wouldn't mind you staring at me for the whole day.' He continued in his thoughts.
When Tsuna looked at her alarm clock, she noticed that she only have less than half an hour left before school starts. She immediately stood up and went to shower while mumbling something about 'demon ex-baby tutors' to 'school life is a second hell to my life next to Mafia.'
Reborn chuckled at his students actions. She was just simple adorable that way.
Tsuna was running through the streets of Namimori to her school quite ghastly. She only has five minutes left, more or less, before school starts and before Hibari Kyoya close the gates of the school. But it seems she has a little luck on her side today. She reached school a minute before the bell rang.
"Omnivore." Hibari greeted Tsuna as she passed by the school gates.
"Good morning, Hibari-san. Here's some bento for you. Good thing oka-san cooked extra, she might've expected me to wake a little later today." She greeted–a little shyly though–back, as she was him handing a bento.
This would have been a weird scene for the students of Namimori if it happened a year ago (which actually was a weird scene when they first saw it, but got used to it after nearly three months anyway). The school's strongest person or a 'Carnivore' – as he calls himself – talking to a mere 'Herbivore' yet calling her 'Omnivore.'
Hello! The person that Hibari Kyoya, the most ruthless person in Namimori is calling Dame-Tsuna 'Omnivore.' Has the world come to its ending?
That's what every persons initial thought was, but even when they got used to it, they would sometimes look at them (mostly at Tsuna though) whenever Hibari treats her gently, and I meant really gently. Anyways, on to the story!
As usual, Hibari accepted the bento that the girl was offering him, but he did something different today. He pulled the girl towards him and bent down, making it look like he was going to kiss the younger girl. But instead, he whispered something that only she would be able to hear.
"I still like your cooking better." And with his words, Tsuna blushed a shade of red making the onlookers wonder what it was that Hibari said.
But unknown to them, a jealous look was focused on the two of them from some quite a distant. Heterochromatic eyes looked at the two figures with jealousy in his eyes and without his usual smirk plastered on his face.
The man decided to look away and start walking at the opposite direction of the school, where he obviously saw the scene the two had made.
Anyways, as Tsuna blushed a shade of red, she decided to pull away from Hibari a little to regain more of her privacy space. He stuttered a soft and quiet thank you to Hibari before running to the direction of her homeroom.
When she entered the room, she still has that blush, probably both because of Hibari and her running straight to her classroom. Then she noticed the look her classmates were giving her.
"What?" Tsuna asked ever so innocent.
Instead of answering her question, they turned to look away from the female and proceeded with their companions' conversation, like nothing happened, the threat that Hibari gave the student body echoed in their ears.
'If any of you dared question Sawada Tsunayuki about her relationship with me or vice versa, I shall make sure that you are thoroughly bitten to death. No one should also dare disrespect or touch her in any inappropriate way, or you will receive a worse punishment than death, may you be male or female.' The words echoed in their mind which made them shiver from fear, simultaneously.
Anyways, Tsuna's friends came up to her having different expressions. Kyoko and Hana were sporting a grin that said You-better-tell-us-what's-between-you-two-or-else (which was very terrifying, especially to a sweet girl like Kyoko). Then, there was also Yamamoto who was, as usual, sporting a huge smile with his hands behind his neck.
And to say that Gokudera looked pissed was sort of an understatement, but he immediately exploded once he reached his boss.
"Good morning Tsuna." Greeted Yamamoto.
"Tsuna-kun." The two said girls greeted with such evil glints.
"What did he do to you, Juhime? He didn't said anything inappropriate to you, didn't he? Or did he? Tell me Juhime, and I'll immediately blow him up." Gokudera said and more (but is too inappropriate, and lacks words to continue on) as a greeting to her.
"Don't worry about it Hayato-kun. He didn't say anything inappropriate, but I was a little flustered because he complimented me, and you know me when it comes to compliments." Tsuna said trying to calm her Storm guardian/right-hand man.
She looked at her two other friends accidentally, which she immediately regretted because the both of them were sporting a look that said "Is-that-really-all?-Or-is-there-another-reason-that-we-don't-know?"
In truth, there was something that she wasn't telling any of them. Like the feelings that she feels most of the time whenever she sees those two people. She wasn't sure what it was but, she wasn't ready to call it like or – Kami forbid – love. Especially for two persons.
"Anyway, has any of you seen or heard from Mukuro yet?" Tsuna asked, trying to get the subject out of the scene at the school gates between her and Hibari.
"Sorry Tsuna, but neither Gokudera nor I have. But Chrome did assure us that they're fine, you don't have to worry." Answered Yamamoto.
Tsuna only nodded, a littler relief that they're fine, but she'll feel more relived if she saw them, all of them, well and alright.
And with that, Tsuna let her mind drift onto the unknown, wondering about her Mist guardians and about those feelings that she feels.
Time flew by Tsuna without her even noticing so. She only realized that it was already lunch when Gokudera tapped her shoulders to get her attention.
"It's already lunch Juhime, and you've been spacing out for the last five class and nearly six minutes since lunch started." He said.
Tsuna felt her cheeks flare with what her Storm guardian said and only did she noticed the concerned looks Yamamoto and Gokudera were sending her. And before they can ask her what's wrong, she already spoke.
"I'm fine. Just wondering some things. Come on, let eat." She said with her usual warm and reassuring smile present in her face.
Yamamoto and Gokudera immediately smiled back. If Tsuna said that she was fine, then she is. But if they really think that there was something that was really bothering their Sky, they won't let go of the topic until they (including the other guardians) are assured that she really was fine.
And so, they went to the school's rooftop and ate their lunch with Hibari entering the said place a few minutes after they came. But Tsuna's previous thoughts were still wondering around her mind, seeking for answers.
And Tsuna's day continued that way until school ended, but not enough to alert her guardians any worry.
"Why don't you all go ahead? I'll be heading to Kokuyo first before going home. I want to see for my own that all of them are really fine. It's really worrying me this past few days." Tsuna said as they were all walking to the schools gate.
"Are you sure Juhime? I could escort you there and back." Gokudera said a little worriedly, but a lot less than he would have a year ago, a sure sign that he has matured.
"Ma, ma Hayato. Let Tsuna be. She's a big girl now, no need to worry. And I'm sure that Mukuro and Chrome can perfectly protect her, ever the need arises." Yamamoto said as he wrapped his arms around Gokudera's shoulder. He really has sure grown mature over the year after they broke the curse of the Arcobaleno.
"I know that idiot. I just can't stop worrying alright? And don't call me Hayato so casually." Gokudera said while he was shaking Yamamoto's arms off his shoulder.
Tsuna smiled at her friend's bantering, even though they have mature over the years, some things just really stay the same.
"Alright then. I'll see you both tomorrow." Tsuna said as she was waving, walking to the opposite side and on the way to Kokuyo Land.
"See you Tsuna!" Yamamoto said and waved for the both of them.
"Ack! I could perfectly say goodbye to Juhime. And let me go. You'll be the death of me." Gokudera said, still shaking off Yamamoto's arms.
Tsuna really just shook her head at the two and walked off to Kokuyo land, with her previous thoughts once again wondering inside her mind.
'Seriously, what is this that I'm feeling whenever both or one of them are around? I don't think this is really like or, Kami forbid, love. I mean, loving two person at the same time romantically?" Tsuna thought as she was walking.
'But if this really was love, who do I love more? It really can't be I love them both at the same time." Her thoughts continue.
And because Tsuna was busy thinking over her thoughts, and her hyper intuition wasn't warning her of any danger, she didn't feel the presence of Mukuro besides her until he spoke.
"What has you ignoring my presence Vongola?" Mukuro asked Tsuna with a hint of worry in his voice.
Tsuna was startled when she heard the question but she didn't jump from her place, but the surprise was obvious in her face.
"Mukuro! You scared me. Anyway, just some thoughts that has been wondering around my mind for the past days, most especially today." Tsuna answered.
Mukuro didn't question her any further but nodded and they continued their walk, as if Tsuna was never startled, to Kokuyo land. Their walk was filled with silence except for the wind and their feet as they walk through the street. None of them dared speak, enjoying the silence covering them. But it didn't last long as Mukuro asked Tsuna a question as they were walking past a park.
"Have you ever fell in love Tsunayuki?"
Tsuna looked at him curiously at why the sudden question.
"I don't think so. No. Is there a reason why you asked such a question from me, Mukuro?" Tsuna asked, still wondering why he asked her that.
Mukuro only shrugged and said, "Nothing, really. I was only curious."
Though Tsuna was a little hesitant to accept his reason, she still nodded and continued on to Kokuyo, where Tsuna spent some time with Chrome, Ken and Chikusa (whom she has gotten closer to after their return to the future). Tsuna even cooked dinner for the five of them and was escorted home by Mukuro.
"Thank you, Mukuro-kun. Though, you really didn't have to escort me home. I could've taken care of myself." Tsuna said as they arrived in front of her house.
"Nonsense Tsunayuki. First, what kind of a man will I be if I didn't? And I am also your guardian." Mukuro answered, which made Tsuna sigh.
"Alright then. Good night. And be careful on your way home." Tsuna said as she was turning away from Mukuro.
But Mukuro caught her wrist and spun her around then kissed her on her cheeks, which immediately turned pink.
"Good night Tsunayuki. Sweet dreams." He said, and with that, vanished into the mist.
Unknown to them, a pair of obsidian eyes were looking at them from Tsuna's window with a fire of jealousy burning in his eyes.
A/N: Okay, the ending sucked a little, so those the whole chapter. But I hope you will still all support my story.
