Chapter 5: Another day...

Yuki walked down the streets with her friends, pinching the bridge of her nose as she listened to their rather chaotic recount or their encounter with a baby stalker/self-proclaimed protector.

"...and then she confessed to me!", her dear Tuna-fish finished, waving his arms around in panic before slumping in surrender, dark, gloomy lines hovering above him. Yuki's eyes twitched as Yamamoto laughed while Gokudera fussed over his Jyuudaime.

"So basically, you met a baby obsessed herbivore, got slapped by her because of chibi, she stalked you, teamed up with Bianchi who convinced her what chibi and you are saying was true, she ended up stressing over it and decided to get dressed liked some wannabe stuntman thug, got challenged by her, barely could dodge her hits, got saved by Gokudera who thought she was a disposable hitman from some famiglia and saved her from drowning before she misinterpreted your actions and fell in love for you and is now stalking us as we go to school?", she asked/stated. Tsuna nods frantically in agreement, opening his mouth to say something before she cut him off, " in other words, you were tricked by a baby, of sort, made friends/stalkers with an obsessive weirdo and failed your mid terms all while I was away for a job? Not to mention now you're going to summer school...you really are Dame-Tsuna."

She raised an eyebrow as imaginary arrows strike through him at each jibe, the last one in the form of a large boulder, causing him to collapse face first into the pavement and sulk in a dark corner, muttering things under his breath like 'it's not my fault school is hard... Why do I always make the abnormal friends?!...life's not fair...'. (Her thoughts briefly flickered to a certain bullet the Tomaso's had developed.)

"How dare you say that to Jyuudaime, ice-freak!", Gokudera growled. Yuki looked at him blankly, although Yamamoto could've sworn he saw something, aside from amusement, in her eyes...

"My name means 'Snow' not 'Ice', and I thought you were a 'prodigy', Baka-dera.", she said monotonously, smirking slightly as she practically saw the blood rushing up to his head. However, she barely concealed the nostalgia from creeping into her voice, forcing the monotone and smirk to hide the swirling emotions.

"Don't call me that ice frea-", Yamamoto cuts him off, just as he pulled out his dynamites, saying something that's been bugging him for a while...

"Ne... Nee-chan what do you mean by 'is now stalking us as we go to school?..", he asked aloud, causing Gokudera to freeze, along with Tsuna before they snapped their heads towards the raven haired girl. She shrugged, simply walking past them.

"I'm pretty sure bushes don't move without wind...nor do branches have legs.", she calmly said as she walked ahead, behind them, Haru froze from her place a few meters behind them, two branches in either hand, "oh and Tuna, I'll stop by tonight, although I might be late...I have some business to take care of."

Tsuna nods idly, already used to her dropping by at random times, right now his mind was occupied, there was just something that she had said earlier that didn't sit right with him..

'Must be nothing..', he hesitantly dismissed, continuing his walk to school while trying to stop the silver haired bomber from blowing up the black haired baseball player..

~* School *~

Tsuna slams his head on the hard wooden desk with his book upright in his limp hands as the layer outstretched above his head. Beside him Yamamoto slept, his arms cradling his head as a book covered him from view. In front of them the teacher droned on and on, his words long since incoherent and meaningless to the boys in the summer heat and nearly empty classroom, which composed only of the two and one other male.
