Chapter : The sun's love confession

Truth to be told, Hana never consider Ryouhei as one of the 'monkeys'. Why? First, he was actually older than her, making him age based, more of an adult than her. Second, his strong resolve whenever something involving his little sister, namely her best friend too, amaze her (sometimes) because that makes her see him as someone reliable. In other words, looked adult.

But if she was asked whether or not she have romantic feelings for him, than her answer will be no. Why is that? Because his loudness is always covering that adult trait of him.

And for the past few weeks, after the mysterious sudden change that she saw in Sawada's group, she found the Boxing captain keep stealing glance at her whenever she's around him. One time they passed each other in the school corridor, he actually went stiff and walking with both his right arm and leg moving together like a robot or something. Another time she went to the Sasagawa house to do homework with Kyoko, the older Sasagawa suddenly scream at seeing her there and then running to his room, never show his face anymore until she went home that night. Even REAL monkey could see that something is definitely strange.

"Ne Hana-chan, what do you think about my brother?"

Hana looking at her best friend who walk beside her with odd look. "Why did you suddenly ask that?"

Kyoko just shook her head as she smiling sweetly as she always do, "I don't know. He seems to be very cautious around you lately. I think he likes you!"

Hana snorted at the thought of the white haired boxer like her. "Yeah, like that ever happened. We never even really talk to each other for as long as I know."

"But I think you both will make a good couple!" Kyoko chirped with happy face.

Hana sighed as she turn to the orange haired girl. "Kyoko, you know my type of man. He have to be an adult to be considered my type," Hana said.

Kyoko blinked as if it was obvious, "But Onii-chan is an adult. He took responsibility at everything he does, and when he said he's going to protect me, he actually do." She actually wanted to say more about what happened all this time, but she promised Tsuna not to let those story slip to just anyone. So even though she didn't considered Hana just 'anyone', she still keep her promise.

"Hmm…" Hana just hummed as she taking it into consideration. "Well, maybe he's ALMOST an adult."

Just as she thinking that, a loud shout was heard from behind them, making them stop in their step.

"KUROKAWA HANA!"

Both Kyoko and Hana turn their heads, and give out different reaction as they see Ryouhei stood not too far from them, panting in his breath. It was as if he's chasing away something.

"Onii-chan?" Kyoko ask with slightly confused face. While Hana just staring in confused face. Why is her name the one being shout at? Not his sister?

But Ryouhei didn't seem like he even notice Kyoko is there. Instead, his eyes locking to her best friend, with both his hand clenched tightly in his both sides. If Hana didn't see it wrong, she could swear she saw his eyes looking like a swirl of pool right now. Not even looked focus on anything in front of him.

"Onii-chan..?" Kyoko asked again. This time she started to look worried.

"KUROKAWA HANA!" he shouts again, making them both flinched. "EXTREMELY BE MY GIRLFRIEND!"

There was this awkward silence between the three of them, as both the girl give out different reaction. Kyoko blushing a little with both her hands covered her mouth. Beside her, Hana seems to be stupefied by the sudden confession, and thanking God that the street they are standing right now is empty from anyone else.

No one make any noise for almost a minute, until Ryouhei snapped out again. "KUROKAWA HANA! EXTREMELY BE MY…UAGH!"

Kyoko could only watch with dumbfounded expression as Hana's bag that previously in her hand now hit her brother right in the nose, and knocking him to the ground.

"DON'T REPEAT THAT! YOU'RE RUINING THE ATMOSPHERE YOU BLOCKHEAD!"

Looked confused himself, Ryouhei stood up from while holding his almost broken nose, "WHAT?! WHAT ATMOSPHERE?!"

This time, Hana throw Kyoko's bag right to his forehead, with Kyoko couldn't react fast enough before her bag is already flew away. She shook her head with desperate looks and then turn to her best friend, "Sorry about your bag, but I take back my words. He's not 'almost' an adult. He's a complete blockhead that didn't have the consciousness as an adult."

She sighed as she turn again to Ryouhei who have just snapped out again from the ground with his head starting to bleed, and mumble to herself.

"I can't believe I almost spit out a 'yes' for a second there."
