Two Hearts {Hibari x Oc/ Dino x Oc}

Chapter 12

Kazuko, Kyoko, Tsuna, Gokudera, and Reborn had made their way to the Home Ec Room inside the school building. Kyoko, Kazuko, and Tsuna were sitting at a large lab counter closest to the door. Reborn was standing on a desk in front of a board that had a taped picture of a Venn diagram on it, while Gokudera sat in the middle of the class on a stool.

"The three basic attributes of fighting are speed, stamina, and power," Reborn said, explaining the diagram behind him. Kazuko leaned on the table with her elbows on the table and her face in her hand. This at least seemed normal and easier than what they were doing outside. Which, of course, was still going on. Reborn turned his attention to the window when a loud explosion was heard and a large cloud of smoke appeared by the window, "Yamamoto is training all three at the same time."

Gokudera stood with both fist in the air, "Then I'll also-".

"But every person has his own appropriate way to train," Reborn interrupted, "It's useless to do the same thing as him."

Gokudera sighed, defeated. Kazuko pursed her lips. She really felt bad for him. He looked tough and had a bad attitude about him but she could tell he had a kind heart.

"We'll start with speed," Reborn began, "Whether attacking or defending, speed is critical."

Kazuko didn't know when she started listening to Reborn but she had been. And for some reason, she was taking everything he was saying into account.

"Should I take notes?" Kyoko asked as she turned to Tsuna.

"You don't need to," Tsuna answered quietly, "But I'm glad this turned out to be a normal lesson." Kazuko nodded in agreement. She didn't think she could go another round with tank lessons.

"Do you know what you should do?" Reborn asked Gokudera, who had a serious look on his face. Gokudera thought to himself with a slight hum before he answered uncertainly.

"Practice sprinting?" Gokudera asked, his head bowed a bit.

"That's why you're so weak," Reborn said abruptly, " The key here is air resistance."

"Air Resistance?," Tsuna and Kyoko answered in unison and they both seemed confused and honestly so was Kazuko.

"Well, just watch," Reborn said. Kazuko sighed heavily when she saw Reborn had transformed himself into what appeared to be a hair stylist. Reborn then proceeded to cut and style Gokudera's hair. After tons of snipping and combing, Reborn finished.

"Hmm, not bad."

Gokudera's hair was shaped like a torpedo, covering Gokudera's entire face except for a small hole in the front.

"What's this?" Tsuna asked turning to Reborn.

"The ultimate hairstyle developed by the Vongola Family," Reborn answered, "It's called Zero Air Resistance."

"Not much of a name," Tsuna heckled, "And he can't see anything around him..."

"No, I can see through the slits," Gokudera defended. Tsuna looked uneasy as he watched his friend.

"You like it?" Tsuna asked, surprised. However, Gokudera didn't answer.

"This style takes time and isn't suited for combat," Reborn said, "it's a bad example, so don't try this."

The only person who hadn't fallen out of their chair was Kyoko. Once everyone recollected themselves Reborn changed his clothes and began his lecture again.

"We'll work on power enhancement next." Reborn was immediately interrupted by Tsuna.

"What about speed?" But Tsuna was even interrupted by Gokudera.

"Reborn!," Gokudera shouted, taking the baby's attention away from Tsuna.

"What is it?" Reborn asked the somewhat flustered boy.

"Isn't there a quicker way to train?" he asked. Reborn thought to himself for a second before he answered.

"It's not that there isn't," Reborn explained, "Humans only use 30% of their brains. But if you awaken the remaining 70%, you'll be powered-up into a superman. To accomplish that, you must be able to control your own brain."

It was just then a familiar presence entered the room. I-Pin hopped onto the table with a rather large white bowl. Gokudera turned his attention to the baby, surprised.

"Ramen?"

"How are you?" The cute little baby said gleefully.

"Gokudera needs to finish this bowl of ramen while enduring I-Pin's Gyoza Kempo."

Now Kazuko was lost. She had no idea what Reborn was talking about. Gyoza Kempo? What was that?

"What will that do?" Tsuna asked and Kazuko was glad. At least she wasn't the only one confused.

"The Gyoza Kempo directly affects the brain, causing muscles to move involuntarily. If he can eat ramen without succumbing to the Gyoza Kempo, he'll have mastered control of his brain," Kazuko wasn't convinced by this.

"Seriously?," Tsuna obviously wasn't either but Gokudera was.

"Boss, just watch me!," he raved, "I'll be sure to meet your expectations!"

"Uh, I'm not really expecting anything..." Tsuna said doubtfully.

"It's on!," Gokudera shouted as he grabbed a pair of chopsticks and breaking them apart.

"Understood," Kazuko was mystified as she watched I-Pin. She used some sort of organized hand motions and then released some sort of energy. Gokudera was just about to lift some of the ramen into his mouth before his hand began moving in a painful jerking motion. He said visibly strained, sweat was beginning to form on his face as he fought whatever I-Pin had done to him. He had failed. Gokudera straightened and readied himself again, "One more try!"

"I applaud your fighting spirit!," I-Pin encouraged as she repeated the hand motions and sent some form of energy toward Gokudera again. And again he succumbed to her...power? This time, however, Gokudera's face ended up in his bowl of ramen.

"Ow! That's hot!" Gokudera cried out re-emerging from his bowl.

"Gokudera! Are you okay?!" Tsuna shouted his concern loudly. While Gokudera waved his pain off.

"Tha-that was on purpose," he said nervously, "I-Pin, keep 'em coming!"

"I-I think you might want to-," Kazuko began but the boy looked at her and glared.

"Shut up!" Gokudera shouted as he focused on I-Pin.

Just as I-Pin was going to continue a loud thud was heard. Kazuko looked up in the direction it came from and saw the baby from earlier, squished against the window. Then she heard him mutter something with his lips pressed against the window.

"Let's play together," he said creepily. I-Pin, taken aback, let out a shrill cry.

"No! No!," I-Pin yelled as she released random bouts of energy everywhere. Kazuko swiftly dodged it by throwing herself onto the ground. Tsuna and Gokudera weren't so lucky. Tsuna's body, evidently, threw itself onto the table face up. Gokudera, under the same control, grabbed his ramen and dumped the bowl onto Tsuna's face. Tsuna struggled as he shouted.

"Tsuna, are you okay?"

"Water! Water! Water!," Tsuna yelled. And his cries rang through the entire school.
