Enzo the amazing turtle destroys the bathtub! And so, here we are, all the boys, headed to the public bath nearby. Including me.
There was mayhem, definitely. With Lambo scurrying around screaming and laughing and making a mess of the entire world and Reborn pummeling him one-sidedly so he'd cry...
Let's just say Rei-chan is exhausted.
So when I finally managed to get Lambo to stay in the hot water and sink into the pool myself, I let out a tired, tired, sigh.
"Sorry for making you take care of Lambo, Rei-san." Tsuna spoke up. He and Dino had gotten in minutes before me, and now he was looking really guilty. Well, he probably knew he wasn't gonna be much help.
I chuckled, waving him off. "No problem, no problem!" I assured him, "I'm kinda used to it, anyways."
When I was younger, Sae was just as rowdy. Sui was more calm, but her endless curiosity on how humans can't breathe underwater was very, very alarming.
"Gyahaha!" Lambo laughed, actually freaking swimming in the hot water, "Look at Lambo-san!"
I smiled at the cow child and turned back to everyone else. Reborn was being nice and calm and relaxed at the side, which made me feel relieved. No crying Lambo to soothe. Great.
But then, Lambo latched onto my right arm and decided to stay there, saying something about being tired of swimming.
Finally, I turned to Dino.
"I don't think we've been introduced." I mention, bringing a curl to my lips. "I'm Rei." I say, and because my right hand had Lambo on it, I raised my left hand for a handshake.
Dino smiled back at me. "I'm Dino!" he said, taking my hand and accepting the friendly gesture, "Nice to meet you!"
"Eh?" Tsuna spoke up suddenly, "Rei-san, what's that on your left hand?" he asked.
I raised my left hand from the handshake, looking at Tsuna inquiringly. "What?"
Tsuna approached me and pointed at the wrist, right where the white birthmark was- "Oh, it's a birthmark?" he said.
I chuckled. "Yeah, it's a birthmark." I grin. "Ain't it cool?"
"It's like a bracelet." Dino joked. "I've never seen such a complete birthmark."
"I have one on my leg, too." I say. I gestured into the water, at my right foot, and trailed the birthmark at the ankle. "They're both like bracelets."
"They're just marks." Reborn spoke up, "What's so interesting about that?"
"Well..." Dino had to chuckle awkwardly at that, "Just childish things I guess." he suggested, unable to think up of a proper reason to Reborn's rhetorical question.
