When The Scheme Come Real

Meet Sawada Ric, Lazy Cow, Grumpy Octopus

Gaku and Yamato get an offer to become models to the newest winter clothing from a very famous life-style magazine. Of course at first Gaku refused after what happened between the entertainment industry of his father and his father's rival, Takanashi production, but thanks to persuasion from Ryuu, Gaku accepted the offer as well as want to clear the awkwardness between the two leaders of the group. And here they are, in a photo studio that also belongs to the life-style magazine. Both of them waited for the arrival of their other partner.

Yups, and there will be a female model as their partner from the leading life-style magazine itself, which they themselves aren't told who their partner is. While waiting, Yamato, who couldn't stand the atmosphere of those oh-so-awkward situation, decided to speak up "Do you know who our partner is?"

Which was answered with shrug from the silver headed beside him "I don't know. Kuso-oyaji{damn old man} doesn't said anything to me."

The answer that made Yamato sweatdrop when he heard the nickname Gaku used to his father. Well, even though Yamato understood the silver headed's feelings.

And when Gaku wanted to ask something to Yamato, a young man in black suit with a shirt that looks like a cow pattern, white pants and a black necklace or is it a choker(?) approaching them. The young man has black afro hair and there is a small tattoo under his left eye. His expression looked very lazy and bored, his walk also looked very reluctant with his right hand in his pants pocket.

The young man ask "Are you two Yaotome and Nikaidou?", Gaku and Yamato nodded, still processing who the young man in front of them was until Yamato asked "And you are?"

The young man answered reluctantly "Yare-yare..my name is Lambo. I want to tell you that neechan{older sister} will be late because there is a slight problem."

Of course the young man who turned out to be Lambo made Gaku and Yamato frown. Gaku ask, still frowning like he didn't understand "Neechan? You mean our partner in this photo shoot?", who got a nod from Lambo as a respond.

Yamato asked "Sorry, but who do you mean by neechan?", that made Lambo stare at them as if to say -are-you-seriously-ask-that?-, and finally asked back "You don't know who your partner is?"

Which of course gets a small nod make Lambo face palm while sighing and muttering that sounds vague to Gaku and Yamato "I think Haru-nee's{short version to big sister} subordinates forgot to tell them who will be the female model."

Yamato ask to be sure "Sorry, what are you saying?", Lambo shook his head lightly "It's not that important. Your partner name is Sawada Ric, Tsuna-nii's{short version for 'niichan' or 'niisan' which mean big brother} little sister. And I hope you treat neechan well, if you don't want to be hospitalized or worse to lying in the coffin."

Both Gaku and Yamato looked at each other for a moment when they heard their partner's first name with eyes that enlarged, a sign that they were surprised and then turned to Lambo, staring at him like a stray alien. But Gaku and Yamato know that the threat of young man said in front of them isn't just empty words, and that makes them wonder who Sawada Ric is, who is this young man named Lambo, and what the threat was to be exactly.

Both of them who were deep in thought came to their senses when they heard a cellphone ring that turned out to belong to Lambo. Lambo immediately picked up the call "Lambo's here."

And from across from there was a feminine voice that was faintly caught by Gaku and Yamato's ears "Lambo-kun{used by people of senior status addressing or referring to those of junior status}, I'll be there in half an hour. Please apologize to my partners and tell them that I'll be late."

Lambo replied "I already met and told them. Tsuna-nii has asked me to tell them about the delay."

A relieved sigh came from there "Thank God. Oh and Lambo-kun. Kuro-niisama{short version for 'oniisama' which mean older brother that used for elite or noble people} asks you to return to the mansion immediately."
