24 - Utau's Language Codes

[Do It Later from Pandora Hearts - Utau's Wacky Shenanigans]

"So, as I was saying..." Hayato rambled on excited as he showed his friends an article that he had seen online, "I'm sure that UMAs definitely exist! See, look at this article! One of NASA's space robots have actually found and captured images of a strange figure they dubbed as 'The Dark Lady' on Mars! There's no way in hell this isn't true!"

It was just another normal day in the Hibari Household, with Kasumi screeching about bugs as she ran past the front garden earlier on as they came by to do their work. Utau had invited them over after Kyoya had finally relented and allowed her friends to come over to their home... albeit if they do not enter his room. Kasumi, Anastasia, Utau, Hayato and Tsuna were sitting in the living room, with the former four finishing their work a long time ago while the poor tunafish still continued to struggle with his work. Somehow, as they tried helping Tsuna with his homework, the topic spiralled towards Unidentified Mysterious Animals, and Hayato, being a huge fan of the extraterrestrial, began to yammer all about what he knew about said subject.

"A-Ahahaha, really? That's really cool, Gokudera-kun!" Kasumi giggled lightly, though anyone could tell that she was just faking her enthusiasm since everyone in the room, except Hayato himself, seemed to realise the nature of that picture...

Tsuna nodded with a crooked smile before muttering the last part. "Y-Yeah! Though I still do need help with this question..."

"It doesn't seem real..." Anastasia sweat-dropped. "I mean, if UMAs do exist, they would have long obliterated us from the face of Earth..."

He shook his head and wagged a finger at the gradient-haired girl. "That's where you're wrong -- there's been speculations that like the fact that we keep on a look out for them, the UMAs have long known about our existence and have been observing us from their own planet!"

Utau suddenly paused mid sentence while explaining the working to Tsuna, and reached a finger straight up towards Hayato, interrupting his train of thoughts. Surprised, the silver-haired man turned towards her and queried, "What?"

The black-haired rebel placed her finger back down before she pulled the neckline of her shirt above her nose to cover it, and whipped out an air freshener can from her pocket, stunning everyone else. She then proceeded to spray it in the air for a brief moment before she capped the aerosol can and placed it back in her pocket. The four friends could only blink.

Kasumi cocked her head to the side in a cute fashion as she asked, confused, "Eh, Utau-chan? Does something smell bad...?"

Anastasia, however, had a different question. "... More importantly, why do you even carry an air freshener can with you...?"

Kyoya, who happened to be nearby to watch them, continued to stare at the confused group of friends before he finally explained and translated to them, "... It's her way of saying 'I smell bullshit'."

There was pin-drop silence before Tsuna let out a loud and flat, "... What."

A lightbulb appeared above Kasumi's head as she lifted up a finger in realization. "Ohh... you have your own body language and codes, is that it, Utau-chan?"
