chibi-no-baka:

Not that I don't like it, but thought it would've been nice if Tsuri was oblivious of the mafia like Nana, which would've been funny to watch Tsuna try to hide it from her. Anyways, interesting story so far. Amazing stuff.

I thank you for your opinion! It would've been a great idea if I did that... My mind doesn't process at the fullest but I'm glad you still think it's interesting (:

Edited: 1/14/23

Chapter 3: Hothead

Morning. Again. The same routine, only different. Days of their life changing alteration caused by a baby; self claiming home tutor AND hitman. His purpose of coming was, according to his orders, to train the oldest Sawada twin, Tsuna , to be a mafioso boss, and his sister was being pulled down with him with a mysterious position known as a Mezza.

Thankfully their mother was a little naïve to know the actual reason why their new 'tutor' was here. Or maybe Reborn DID tell her and she just brushed it off thinking it was a joke. The siblings didn't question it. Nana was persistent about their dwindling grades despite being so carefree. So getting rid of Reborn was not ever going to be an option.

After the Mochida incident, the next couple of days in school reverted back to the way they used to be. Except for the one fact that Tsuri had two new people to greet in the morning, and her baka brother had more chances to also greet Kyoko and make a fool of himself. Tsuna was looked at a little better once they saw how he had shattered his challenger's pride and a hairline that would take forever to repair.

Class was starting normally as usual; the teacher making announcements, selecting the representatives to talk, the tasks needed to be done, tests and etc. Booooring.

Tsuna yawned, busy 'trying' to pay attention in class while Tsuri only stared out the window beside him. She drowned out all the voices around for the time being.

Reborn coming... Was that really just a coincidence? Who actually sent him? Did he know her dad? Did he contain more information about him? Did he know where he was? Many questions popped in her head like a racing car. No no. She stepped on the brake. She didn't need to hang onto those details. She couldn't just ask him and expose her awareness yet. But it pissed her off.

How could he just get up and git and disappear for over two years? That wasn't right. Tsuna and her always avoided talking about the subject on their dad and in reality she tried not to care too much about it. When he came back (if he was still living), he better be buttering his kids up with affection because if it weren't for her mother present, she would be so kind enough to crack him into the next day.

Tsuna tried to grab her attention with a small pat on her desk. It didn't do anything other than earn him a "Hm?" and a wave. He gave up after two minutes and sighed. Students were awe-ing and oohing the minute they set their eyes in the front of the classroom. Huh. Tsuri could somewhat make out squealing and quick breathing whispers. Maybe the fangirls were being triggered by the presence of something. Tsuri hated that area of school life. Fan girls were insane.

"I'll introduce the transfer student." The middle-aged teacher announced loudly. "He was studying abroad in Italy until now, his name is… Gokudera Hayato."

Silver white hair, olive green eyes, girls couldn't stop fawning over it. His uniform was quite messy, surprising many on how he'd escape the most scariest person in Nami Chuu who cared about the appearance of students the most. Tsuna cocked his head to the side as more basic words were being said. He could tell he didn't look very nice with that scowl implanted on his face. His head went right back in its place with a snap, jumping in his seat when the green hit him as if their misson was to murder him with them.

"Wow, he's so hot!" A random girl squealed in delight. "On top of that he's moved from another country!"

'Don't tell me that Kyoko-chan is captivated too!' Tsuna whined as he caught the idol smiling as she saw the silver head.

Thought bubbles popped when she heard her brother's voice. Tsuri hummed. There was an unknown person in the room Ah, the source of the squeals. She crossed her arms over her chest and began to examine him. He was foreign, and though obviously dwelling striking features, he had a somewhat assuming permanent scowl on his lips. 'Something in my gut tells me that this guy is a hothead...'

New student Gokudera walked forward. He knew his glare was working because it was obvious that the smaller boy was being completely affected by it. Stopping in front of the target, the foreign boy then placed his feet on Tsuna's desk, and gave it a kick. Tsuna tumbled down with it, shocked at the unexpected action. There were some snickers being supressed around the room. Tsuri took her hand off her chin and her distant eyes, full of disinterest and exhaustion, dissipated and came back to the classroom. She stared at the figure and then felt anger well up inside her system. Tsuna gazed upwards, shaken.

"Who the hell are you and what in Nami's name do you think you're doing!" Tsuri stood up from her desk, slamming her hands. Everyone else in the room looked away from the scene. The fan girls tied their eyes to them as Tsuna raised himself and the desk. He angled his gaze towards his sister.

'Sit.' The one worded order made her veins freeze in place. The look in his eyes were stern and unmoving. She had no option but to listen.

Tsuri motioned her body to sit right back down before Tsuna's glare got worse. She rolled her eyes, bit her tongue and stuck her chin out toward where she couldn't catch a glimpse of the transfer, but Gokudera caught her line of sight just before they changed direction. Green and caramel eyes struck lightning with each other and Tsuna swore he heard the loud crackle zap him on his back.

"Gokudera-kun! Your seat is… Gokudera-kun!" The teacher attempted to control the foreign student, but failed in the end as he paid the man no mind and walked to the back of the classroom.

"You know him, Tsuna?" A boy that sat next to him asked.

"O-Of course not..."

"You should be careful, he's definitely no good."

"That's his good part!" Girl 1 chirped up.

"His scary-ness makes me go numb!" Girl 2 added. "We're totally making a fan club!"

'Here they go. How the hell is someone so bitter looking attractive?' Tsuri scoffed. First impression of the transfer: a total asshole thug. 'I'd rather swallow contaminated water than admit it.'

'Tsuri, I thought I asked you to back down a long time ago ' Tsuna said in his thoughts. She took in the sharp tone and huffed loudly. She could now feel that glare at the back of their heads and she wished she could turn around and give him a piece of her mind.

'That hotheaded jerk was about to rip you to shreds with his face. You've got to stop with this no help rule Tsuna' His sister snapped. 'You're welcome by the way.'

Tsuna sensed some disappointment and pouting. 'Ah, I-I just didn't want you to cause a commotion in class. I'm sorry. Thank you.' There was a pause. Then an audible sigh.

'Don't apologize. I'm really trying Tsuna,—'

'You didn't have to so stop trying. The fan girls are watching you closely now and you know how crazy they get—'

'I had to. It just came out! And he was being a jerk!'

'Just don't talk to me at school okay? It's better this way.'

There was a deeper much slower sigh. 'I'll talk to you as much as I want. But I'll look the other way if you want me to, unfortunately. If you buy me pocky.'

Tsuna glanced behind him in slight annoyance and groaned. He hated when Tsuri made him agree to compromises just to get snacks out of him. And the tactic never worked because she never listened to him. 'Agh, fine. Deal. But you have to hide them from Reborn. Somehow I have a feeling he knows where you stash your snacks.'

'Go figure. Now this tutor is not only making our life impossible. He's stealing my snacks and trying to make me starve.' Tsuri turned to the window where a PE class was running some laps on the school field.

'Ne Tsuna. Kyoko told me our class has a volleyball tournament coming up and Yamamoto signed you up to play. Are you doing it?'

There were waves of desperation and tension beginning to run down like a river behind the other teen's slouched back. 'I didn't even know.'

'You better make up your mind. I can see him looking at you too.'

Class resumed. The whole duration of it Tsuri could tell Tsuna was on edge because of the kid in the back. And so when the bell hit, Yamamoto Takeshi, the baseball star and some other guys surrounded him, telling him of the volleyball game. Just another event to add to Tsuna's stressed mind.

"Did Tsuri-Chan tell you, Tsuna-kun?"

"M-More or less," he scratched his head shyly.

"We're counting on you today. Use some of that last ditch effort to win," Yamamoto said.

"People stopped calling you Dame-Tsuna after that," Hana pointed out the the past match. Tsuri doubted that was true but she did notice a decrease in his bullying for some days now.

"You were really cool then! I'll cheer you on, Tsuna-kun!" Kyoko praised with a smile that made him blush, and his pride rise. Tsuri stifled a laugh.

'There's your motivation. Are you going to take it?' Tsuna turned to Tsuri in silence while the rest of the group were confused at the way they were just staring at each other head on.

'Well I could manage if Reborn shoots me with the deathsperation bullet.'

'You WANT to get shot? Are you kidding? That's insane!'

'It's the only way I won't disappoint everyone! I can't do it on my own.'

Tsuri sighed aloud, confusing everyone more. Nothing had been said yet.

'… You really like being naked in front of her then, don't you?'

"N-No I don't!" Tsuna bursted out with a shout. He apologized soon after seeing everyone's puzzled expressions. "A-Ah I mean sure. I'll do it."

Behind a vent Reborn sneezed, sensing he had just been talked about.

-Later that day-

While the other classmates were getting ready for the volleyball match in the gym, Tsuri exited the locker room. Though it was a match for their class, everyone still had to change into their PE clothes. She made a right turned and stopped walking.

The transfer had his back to the wall near the gym door, scowl extending on his features. He had something lit on one of his fingers, and white smoke coming out from his nostrils and slithering around the air. He was a smoker. God, this couldn't get any worse. The stench and building stereotype against the middle school boy were getting progressively worse.

'This guy's going to get wrinkles fast for frowning a lot...' She scrunched her nose and coughed.

The silver head heard the noise coming from the right and turned. The copy. Female replica of his target. And she was eyeing him with those judgey eyes the teachers had given him earlier. Che.

"...You're blocking the door. Can you move?" Tsuri put her hands to her hips, unaware that some attitude was slipping in her tone.

"Tch." The silver head just backed away from the door slightly and ignored her.

Tsuri felt a stress mark appear on her untamable looking head. 'Did he just click his tongue at me?'

"Hmph. Cranky old man. I hope you choke on your smoke," Tsuri muttered and opened the door to the gym. It took a few moments for the silver haired smoker follow behind and go towards the net to meet the other players, tick marks adorning his forehead for being called a cranky old man. He wasn't going to let this go. His sight followed the female copy. He could make out distinctively how different and alike these twins were.

For one, both were small and petite looking. The male had more of a broader build and cowering expression, while the female was less of that and more aggressive.

Huh. An aggressive twin. Talk about similar and polar opposites. He could booth an aggressive woman. It wouldn't be the first time he'd beat someone up.

She caught him staring again but unlike her wuss of a brother she didn't look away or break it. Taking it more of a challenge, Gokudera didn't break eye contact. And neither did she. Within those seconds he got taken aback when all of a sudden she lifted her hand slowly, stretched her palm and fingers, and was slowly closing one by one until she struck him with the middle-

His whole vision was going red. It would be his first time hitting a woman and though a taboo he was not going to let her get away with it.

Tsuri snickered at the reaction she gained. It was petty revenge, flipping him off but she was not going to let that morning show stunt he pulled, slide. She searched for a spot where she could watch the incoming game. She randomly caught sight of the prefect of Namimori Chuu around the left corner and her previous bravery dissipated in vapor. 'Hibari Kyoya-san. I should avoid his area or I'll get it for sure.'

The gym was growing, filling with students from Class 1-A who were rooting for the players of their own class, mainly Tsuna which must've been the result from the match with Mochida. Tsuna seemed not so confident he could pull it off without a dying will bullet. He saw Reborn from the upper level, eyes in fear that he could get shot and not at the same time.

Tsuri threw a little wave and when she did she winced at the loud panicking 'HIEEEE' he was throwing.

'OW! What the hell was that for?!'

'I can't do this!' Tsuna began. 'Why don't you take over! M-My head hurts I think I'm going to be sick—' he shrunk when some purplish waves earned him a headache.

'Are you crazy? This is a boy's match! Though we look alike I'm pretty sure they're going to tell the difference with the hair and the chest!'

'D-Don't say it like that! It was just a thought!'

' And a dumb one! I thought you asked to be shot!'

'I did! But Reborn said I could die because I'm not regretting anything right now!'

"We will now begin the match against Year 1's Class A and C." The instructor yelled, blowing the whistle.

And so the game started. A boy from the other class did the starting serve and it came towards Tsuna. He ran forward and jumped to hit the ball but he didn't reach it. Instead, the ball had hit his face. The cheers died out. Some began muttering about beginner's luck and 'a loser will always be a loser.'

It made Tsuri sad. She was so sure her brother had more potential than he led on. His previous misfits and clumsiness were obviously something they both inherited from one side of the family, ahem, their father, but it didn't mean it had to define them for a lifetime.

Tsuri wished Tsuna could talk to her more about this pressing issue. But it seemed that he would never do it because he thought he was a walking plague that could ruin her life. And it was stupid because Tsuna had painted a stupid image of her thinking she wasn't as dame as him when in fact it came close in bits.

She hated studying so she got failing grades, she barely understood anything concerning their English class, much less math. The only class that she messed up and actually could improve from was home ec and that was thanks to their mother. She was only athletic because of her good endurance but she was the worst when it came to getting hurt. She had a long record from the hospital that looked like a crazy shopping spree receipt.

So why couldn't he understand that side of her and just let her defend him ways she knew she could? Wasn't that what siblings did for each other?

The match went on for few more minutes and as it ticked away, Tsuna's team continued losing points with failed hits and errors.

'Im failing everyone. I knew I couldn't do it.'

Tsuri big her lip as Tsuna's team began reprimanding him. The other, Yamamoto Takeshi, as she guessed, thought he'd join in and give up on Tsuna. But instead he brushed off the others, kept calm and gave her brother another shot with a smile. Tsuri blushed a little by it. Refreshing. It was like she'd been given a cold glass of water to cool her down. She grinned. That was exactly what Tsuna's mind needed. A little water splash.

Tsuri, Kyoko, the class and Sasagawa Ryohei noticed the change in the brunet. Determation filled his system and his body and suddenly it was game start again. Tsuri spotted Reborn upstairs, thinking she should go thank him for helping Tsuna realize that he could have done this on his own, as manly as it was. But, her face began losing color at seeing the chameleon turn into a long distance shooting rifle than a fan. She gulped, thinking he was going to get shot and die; but instead he fired somewhere else.

The hitman shot Tsuna's legs that had given him a boost of stamina and jumping reflexes. Tsuri could hear herself gasping several times from his close calls on falling off the net. But, the ball was being caught and they were gaining points. Class A was winning. At the last tally everyone was in celebration thinking this one was it and prepared the Class 1-A team stances up to stop the ball from crossing the net., Tsuna was closer as he was in the front so when he jumped, his force was too high and it landed in the middle of his groin with a SMACK.

It was a slow motion minute Tsuri did not want to process with everyone else. The silence was so loud that the smack reverberated the gym and it wasn't until Tsuna fell down on the floor crying in pain that everyone snapped back into reality and cheered louder than other times before.

'Put your mind barrier up, put your barrier up put it up dammit' Tsuri ranted in her head over and over trying not to pay in mind to her brother's curses.

"He blocks it with his organ!" Their other senior and Kyoko's older brother Sasagawa Ryohei exclaimed in shock. "I can't believe that he would sacrifice a man's most valuable part just to block the ball!"

"I won't ever understand men..." Tsuri laughed nervously and shook her head. Kyoko laughed similarly at her reaction, knowing her older brother wasn't helping to erase the image they just saw.

'If I didn't jump so high...' thought Tsuna as he clutched but he earned amazing smiles among his teammates. The cheering died down when they won slowly, students went back to change and the disciplinary committee had gone back to their tasks. Tsuri and some students remained and she tittered her way to her brother who was sweating from head to toe and laughing.

"Are you okay? That sounded like it hurt," Tsuri said with a blue face.

"It did… sorry I didn't mean to start saying all that stuff earlier" Tsuna scratched the back of his head apologetically.

Tsuna wearing a smile was always the best sight to see. "We won! You did so well."

"Hehe, thanks Tsuri."

"Tsuna was doing awesome right!" Yamamoto had heard their conversation and strided over, hanging his arm over Tsuna's shoulder, wide toothy grin stretched out. "You believed in Tsuna too, didn't you Sawada-chan?"

"Of course I did! He's my brother!" She said it proudly, causing the male twin to blush. "Others may not see it but he's awesome!" She patted him on the head. "I saw what you did earlier Yamamoto-san. Thanks for believing in him too."

"No problem! I knew Tsuna would come through for us!"

"I can't accept that."

"Huh?" Both twins turned to the silver headed player from the back. Yamamoto had gone somewhere else to congratulate another teammate so it was just them. Tsuri's annoyance returned once she saw his glare.

'What the hell is he glaring at? I'll give him a reason to glare , this piece of —'

"W-What do you mean Gokudera-s-san?" Tsuna cut her off before her thoughts could turn for the worse. He squeaked at the evolving glare.

"Tch!" Gokudera quickly broke the eye contact. "I'm the one who's worthy to become the tenth!"

'Tenth? Wait, he knows?!'

"Meet me at the back of school after this."

Gokudera vowed to not accept this unworthy filth succeed the Vongola Family. And he was going to make sure the middle finger flipping idiot would see it too.

And yet, that's how Tsuna and Tsuri found themselves talking to Gokudera Hayato by the back of the gym, and the atmosphere was so suffocatingly tense Tsuri even considered just dragging Tsuna out of there even if it meant looking like cowards.

"U-Um, so what did you want to talk about Gokudera-kun?" Tsuna asked the transfer, hoping he wasn't going to get strangled.

"If some trash like you becomes the 10th, the Vongola Family is done for," the silver head straightforwardly said. "I don't accept you. I refuse."

"Who you calling trash you little-" the copy started.

"H-How do you know about the family?" Tsuna cut her voice off again while shaking in his boots.

"This was faster than I expected," Reborn suddenly showed up himself from tree's bark.

"Reborn!"

Tsuri felt her eye twitch when she saw him step out from a tree's lower base. It was a hidden elevator his size. 'What in Nami's name?'

"This is one of many hiding spots I have." Reborn casually jumped and landed on Tsuna's shoulder.

'He has one inside the vent outside our class too.'

'When did he get these installed?!'

The tutor paid no mind to his students' mental conversation and turned to the grey haired teenager.

"Gokudera Hayato."

"You know him?" Tsuna said surprised.

"Yes, he's part of the Vongola. I called him over from Italy. This is the first time we're meeting."

"Gokudera-kun is a part of the mafia too?!"

Gokudera looked at the baby and nodded. "So you're the hitman that the Ninth trusts the most. Reborn. I've heard rumors about you."

Tsuri swallowed her anxiety. So Reborn was the real deal. If he was popular to have rumors that meant her family was super screwed now.

"Is it true if I eliminate these two, then I'll be next in line to become the Tenth boss of the Vongola family?"

Both twins turned white and took a step back. "W-What?!"

"It's true." The baby in the suit confirmed nonchalantly.

"I-I'd like to s-see you try!" Tsuri blurted out, mouthy twitching. The mafia was now here in front of her and there was absolutely no way she was going to let herself get bested again. She was going to just dash and run but an explosion landed in front of her. She quickly jumped back, anxiety increasing. "What the hell!"

"Tsuri!" Tsuna shouted and ran to check on her. She had inhaled some smoke and was coughing hard.

"We can't fight someone from mafia!" Tsuna yelled to Reborn.

"You're not going to run away!" Gokudera revealed some dynamites between his hands and had been already activated.

"He just lit it without any matches?!"

"You know, even though we're in a risky position I have to admit that's impressive…"Tsuri hummed in thoughts. Tsuna had to shake her shoulders to snap out of it and get out of the way before they were blown to bits.

Both twins shrieked as they went left and right trying to get away from death. Both were running out of breath when they found themselves encircled with dynamite around them. And they looked seconds to blowing.

'We need to turn them off!'

'The faucets and hose are out of range!' Tsuri looked towards the outer garden they had just feet away.

'I'll have to try with my hands!'

"No Tsuna don't! You can get burned!"

"Fight with your dying will."

Tsuri covered her ears and closed her eyes to brace herself for the exploding impact. Instead, her brother was in his deathsperation form once again, and half naked too.

"REEEEEBBOOOORRRRNNNNN! Extinguish the dynamite with my dying will!"

"Double the bombs!"

"Extinguish! Extinguish! Extinguish! Extinguish! Extinguish!" Tsuna was moving faster than the speed of a racecar. Tsuri gaped watching him turn off the bombs like lit candles. Tsuri swallowed down her freezing instincts and helped by kicking some away towards the fields so none of the buildings or windows could be destroyed in the impact.

Gokudera was panicking so he decided to carry more than he could handle. "T-Triple the bombs!"

The twins were in stance to take more but watched as their opponent struggle and drop some of his own weapon below his feet. Tsuri didn't want to help him. He didn't seem like a good person and he wanted to kill them for a dangerous position none of them wanted. But he was a kid like them. And letting someone young die like this was not morally right.

"This is my end," the bomber gave up. He expected the force to send him to die. Instead he heard an

"Extinguish! Extinguish! Extinguish!" and a "You'll owe me for this favor you ass!"

The dynamited had been turned off by the half naked male twin and the dirty stained female. It wasn't until they made sure they turned it off that Gokudera's legs gave out and collapsed to the ground. Tsuri shook her hurting fingers from the burns she earned and then threw daggers to the culprit.

Tsuna's energy was back to normal and he sighed in relief. "That was dangerous!"

"You're telling me!" Tsuri sat on the ground as well. "Hey, if you're killing us don't take yourself down either KONO BAKA! That defeats your purpose entirely!"

Gokudera immediately bowed in front of the twin.

"I did not realize it!"

The two looked at each other in confusion.

"You are more of a suitable fit to become boss than I! You were amazing, Juudaime! Please let me serve you!"

…

…

"HAH?!"

After he tried to kill them?! This was not how introductions worked! Not at all!

But who was she to tell Tsuna what to do? He did what he pleased. He was much more kindhearted than her to be honest. She would've loved to just kick him in the face and tell him to go back to Italy.

Tsuna now had a loyal puppy that would take no for an answer. But that meant more protection for him so, did Tsuri want to complain about it? Maybe just a little bit. Reborn was pleased by the way he had a smirk on his lips. Oh she wished she could just erase her memory and be allowed to play dumb.

"Oh I forgot to add," Reborn interrupted the teens after the bomber was done blowing some third year bullies who had dropped by to tease his beloved 'Juudaime.'

"Gokudera, say hello to your second boss, Tsuri."

The silver head paled naturally. "Juudaime's copy is... Also Juudaime?!"

Reborn smirked, amused at the boy's reaction.

Tsuri snorted. The boy had already seen her true aggressive nature. There was no point in holding back if he was going to be around. "I never accepted the job! Stop announcing it so casually! And as for you Gokudera, you can respect and play puppy for Tsuna but don't even bother trying to suck up to me! You tried to chew my brother apart and for that I will never respect you!" She noticed that the bombers aura was filled with enough purple to call a Barney figure.

"Like hell I would respect you stupid woman! I have no respect for a middle finger flipping wench like you! You're just a copy of Juudaime and nothing more! You're inferior to him! You're not as strong as him!"

"Are you calling me weak?! Come here, I'll show you weakness you idiotic bastard—!

"Tch. Juudaime, can you give me permission to destroy your copy?" Gokudera raised two sticks of unlit dynamite on his left hand.

"P-Permission not granted Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna tried to have him shove his weapons away in his pockets and turned to his sister. "You flipped him off? Why would you do that?!"

"He kicked your desk! I told you I wasn't going to stand by and let him get away with it!"

Tsuna audibly sighed.

"I hate you new transfer student," Tsuri mumbled angrily and turned her shoes heel to head back to class.

"I hate you too Juudaime's copy!" he yelled with equal fervor.

"I have a NAME! It's TSURI!"

Tsuna had a feeling that with Gokudera Hayato's addition to Reborn's successful scheme, Tsuri was going to get more agitating than usual and clash with him. He prayed he could find the way to handle the both of them because these type of people who clashed often would be causes of ulcers in some people.

Some people being him.

Extra

On the way home, Tsuri couldn't help but clench her teeth in rage as she saw who was walking with them. How was it possible that her brother wasnt annoyed even the slightest bit of his presence? He had a fake looking smile plastered on his face. She clicked her tongue.

How could he go in pretending he didn't try killing her and her brother just a few hours ago?

"So how old is Juudaime?"

"E-Erm thirteen. How about you Gokudera-kun?"

"Thirteen as well! How surprising!"

Tsuri snorted loudly, earning a piercing glare from him. "What the hell is your problem copy!"

"You're getting annoying. Who should be surprised at someone's age? It's not that fascinating at all."

"I want to see how old you are!"

Tsuri's grip on her bag loosened and stared at Gokudera in disbelief. "I'm Tsuna's twin sister! How old do you think the hell I am?!"

"Probably a five year old since you act like a stinkin loud mouth brat!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

"T-Tsuri, Gokudera-kun pleae calm down. We don't want unwanted attention do we?"

Gokudera bit his lip and backed away from Tsuri's face. "I-If Juudaime says so..."

Tsuna sweat dropped at his sisters childish behavior with their new 'companion'. "Now apologize to each other."

The two stared at the Vongola 10th candidate in shock.

"B-But!"

"You've got to be joking!"

The male twin stopped in his tracks and sighed, clearly agitated. "I won't get you pocky sticks if you don't, Ri-nee."

Tsuri blushed and her eyebrows twitched the second her brother called her that. It was her other nickname. The one her older brother used to call her when they were kids. Tsuri liked it, don't get her wrong, but her brother was cunning with it. He used it against her because he knew just how much she got embarrassed by it when he said it in public.

"Will you apologize, Ri-nee?"

Tsuri's eyebrow twitched. She bit her tongue hard and found her voice to speak. "I didn't do anything wrong b-but," she stared at wide green eyes. "S-Sorry, Gokudera."

Gokudera stared at the copy.

The slightly guilty look. Instead of the cat-like glares she had been sharing since he saw her they were now doe-eyed. Heat tainted his cheeks. Why the hell were there sparkles around her? They were just like the ones he had seen when he admired his savior and admitted defeat. But these were 5x more intense. What the hell?

'S-so this is what Juudaime would look like as a girl...' He turned his head away from his allegedly second boss, cleared his throat to restore his composure and shut his eyes. He put his arms against his chest as if to protect his self considered invaded bubble. "I-I'm sorry too, Tsuri."

It was the latter's turn to blush a little. This was the first time she heard it coming out of his mouth. And since he wasn't as aggressive like in the morning, the way his voice uttered her name came with a gentle ring to it.

'This guy is so weird... He really is a hothead.' She nodded her head, accepting the stupid apology. Tsuna sighed in relief. A little bit of silence followed the trio.

"...So Juudaime, am I eligible to become your right hand man?"

"EH? What are you saying Gokudera-kun! We just talked about this earlier! I don't need a right hand man!"

"Ne Tsuna. You owe me a second box of Pocky sticks for dragging me into your little showdown. Don't make me double it more since we're walking with said disaster here."

"EHHHH?!" the brother whined as he knew his allowance was cut short. There was only one person to blame.

"REBORN!"

Yamamoto's chapter was put as the next one. Onto my editing! ONWARDS! 2015 and 2023 me would still appreciate reviews~! Honestly is greatly expected!
