Disclaimer: I don't own KHR, sadly
Chapter 1
Life begins
"Ne, Tsuki, you don't have to skip school with me, you know," My twin brother, Sawada Tsunayoshi said dejectedly, practically dragging his feets home. As usual, he had been bullied to clean the gym, and after seeing his life-long crush going out with that creep Mochida-senpai, he'd lost all will to continue school.
For that day that is.
As his equally useless, if not worse, baby sister; if my brother wasn't in school with me, everything was kind of pointless wasn't it.
"Mahh, what are you saying." I laughed, "School is boring without you, plus it's not like I'm learning anything. I don't understand a word all sensei are saying!"
"Tsuki, that's not something to be proud of." Tsuna deadpanned, but patted my head anyway. No matter what, we're still siblings, we only have each other. That's how it has always been since growing up.
"But Tsuki," Tsuna started, interrupting my humming, "Don't you have detention today?"
Oh crap.
I froze instantly, out of immense fear. You see, in Namimori middle school, resided a monstrous devil-reincarnation that went by the name 'Hibari Kyoya'. He was infamous for his hatred for herbivores and rule breakers, and sadly, I fall under the category for both.
"I'll, I'll see you later at home kay Tsuna-nii, if I don't come back home, you can have everything I own and tell Momma I love her!" I rushed out, not sparing an extra moment to dash back to school. While Tsuna had been known as Dame-Tsuna for being no good at everything, I've been known as Aho-Tsuki, the girl that had been too stupid for anything.
Such as pointing out to the home economics teacher that she had put on weight, playing with the math teacher's wig, accusing the English teacher that what he taught wasn't a real language but was actually out to fail us...
And a few others, but it's enough to send me to the disciplinary committee to get my fair share of detentions. In my defence, it's... erm, not my fault?
Anyway, that's not the point. The point was how unreasonable Hibari Kyoya was. Sure, he's known for his violent nature, but one would think that he'll go easy on a female right?
No.
Not in a thousand years, no.
The first time I stepped into the disciplinary committee room, all I saw was a flash of silver before I was in a cast for three months.
Three whole figgin' months.
What's strange was that Momma didn't even find the whole situation suspicious, only giggling away, telling me to be more careful when going down the stairs.
Hibari Kyoya was a filthy liar too.
One would think I have learned my lesson since that day, but sadly, my mouth lack filters, and thus, begun that start of my middle school nightmare (seeing how without knowing, I've accumulated 5 years of detention, how does that work anyway?). Well, by now, it had become more of a routine really, being sent to the disciplinary committee, getting more detentions, being attacked by those blasted tonfas, then being hospitalized.
On the upside, I can now last at least 2 minutes without dying when facing the Namimori demon?
"You're late, herbivore."
Ah, that spine-chilling voice that will send any grown man to tears.
"I'm very, very sorry, your carnivorous highness, what shall I, your humble servant, do to earn your forgiveness?" I bowed mockingly, knowing this act never failed to irritate Hibari. Hey, I'm Aho-Tsuki, it's no surprise if I have a death wish.
"So, what am I doing today? Prepare your red meat? Brush your mane? Lick your sho- gak!" Before I can finish, he's already standing next to me, a tonfa hitting my face.
Stupid ninja.
"God damn it Hibari! Haven't anyone told you never to hit a lady's face?!" I roared, rubbing my sore nose that's surprisingly not broken. I know my words meant nothing, since Hibari had broken my nose 6 times, given me a black eye 19 times, and bruised and swollen cheeks more times than I can count. Sometimes, I swear, he aimed my face deliberately.
"I see no lady," He smirked, "Finish them by today." He mumbled before leaving the room with Kusakabe, who gave me a quick, meek smile. Though the scary appearance, he has more humanity compared to that devil.
"Hai hai," I sighed, "today it is, douchbag." I was mumbling to no one in particular, with me alone in the disciplinary committee room. By now, I already have my own desk at the far end of the room. With my never-ending detentions, Hibari decided to make use of me than beating me senseless every day. Apparently, I lack the challenge according to him.
Was this going to be my life forever?
I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
"I'm homeeee," I groaned, feeling my strain on my wrist. It had been dark by the time I finish, there's just So. Many. Paperwork! "Ne Tsuna-nii, do you still have some of the medical crea- ara, who are you?"
Stepping into my brother's room, I saw a baby sitting on Tsuna's bed, the boy himself sprawled on the ground, unconscious.
"Ciaossu," The baby spoke. "I'm Reborn, I'll be the home tutor for Dame-Tsuna and you from now on."
I blinked.
The baby spoke.
"So, you're Tsuki, Dame-Tsuna's younger twin sister."
I nodded dumbly, not knowing what to make out of a talking baby. I walked towards him before settling myself on the ground, right next to Tsuna. I may be stupid, but being around Hibari for so long, I know danger when I sense them.
"Hm, it seems like you have more potential than that Dame-Tsuna over there, you stepped over all my traps."
Traps?
I instantly looked back at the short path I've taken with wide eyes, that short path that only consisted of 4 steps. How many traps can there be?! Was that why Tsuna-nii fainted? Secretly, I thanked whatever higher powers for that sheer dumb luck I possess.
"I'm going to make this quick," The baby started, "I'm Reborn, the home tutor for you and Tsuna from now on. I'm to train Tsuna to be the next mafia boss, and as his sister, you are to assist him in becoming the strongest boss, protecting and supporting him in any way possible. You will be the eyes for the 10th, am I clear?"
I gulped, before nodded my head slowly. Truth to be told, I don't even know half the shit he had just sprouted. I just know not to defy him. Ever.
"Good, now go to sleep. Tsuna has a big day tomorrow."
"Roger." I said quickly, scampering out in a second, careful not to set off any trap, not that I know where they are. Actually, I do. There's one beneath the third floorboard from the door. How do I know that? Cause the moment I had stepped on it, something that felt suspiciously like a ton of bricks fall onto me, effectively knocking me out.
Ah darkness, how I welcome you.
"So, it's not a dream?" I sobbed, slugging my way to our class with my brother, him as enthusiastic as I am.
"N-No," Tsuna replied, shuddering a little. He'd told me what had happened when I was absent during our way to school. Apparently, he had confessed to Kyoko in his underwear under the influence of some... bullet? So, was this the 'big day' the baby had told me about?
My condolences big brother, my deepest condolences.
"What should I do if Sasagaw Kyoko and I see each other..." Tsuna mumbled worriedly, his hand hovering over the door.
"Well, this is Kyoko we are talking about, so the worst she can do is cry and scream how she hate you and never want to see you again. It's not the end of the world." I half joked, trying to cheer my brother up, only to have him staring at me with tear-filled eyes.
"HIEE! How is that not the end of the world?!" He cried. Sure, he's my brother and all, but sometimes I worry about him.
"Come on," I laughed it off, slapping his hand away and opened the door, ''it's not going to be that bad-"
"Confession of Love!"
"Hentai!"
"Here comes the pantsman!"
"Woooo! We all heard it!"
"They say you were rejected vehemently!"
There was a huge uproar the moment the door was slide open, everyone were at our face in split second. Tsuna's face were ghastly pale, horrified by the fact that everyone now knew.
"HEY! Leave my brother alone!" I shouted, stepping in front of him. Tsuna is a kind-hearted person, and had always been too nice to retaliate. That's what I am for, momma always asked me to take care of Tsuna, and that's what I'll be doing.
"This doesn't concern you Aho-Tsuki," Some random guy in Kendo uniform said, pushing me away easily.
Tsuna was about to reach out for me when the said random dude blocked his way, along with other guys in the same uniform. "Whoa, you can't go yet, Captain Mochida is waiting for you in the Dojo," He said to Tsuna, and in a blink of an eye, they have Tsuna lifted up.
"Off to the dojo!"
They were gone before I realize it, along with the rest of the class, all off to watch the avenging match by Mochida-senpai, even Kyoko was gone. Geez, no need to bother about me, it's not like I had accidentally sprained my knee when I fell-
Oh wait, I did.
"Damn jocks," I grumbled. I was struggling to get up when a hand held my arm, easily hauled me up to my feet.
"Haha Tsuki-chan, you okay?"
Who else, the forever Mr Nice guy, Yamamoto Takeshi. He can never leave anyone who's in distress, especially a girl. He's those kind of guys that never gets mad or upset, and people just flock over him voluntarily, attracted by his bright smile.
It's just a tad dazzling for me though.
"Other than that throbbing pain, and the fact that my brother has just been carried off to get himself beat up, perfect really!" I gave him a shit-eating grin and a thumbs-up, only to elicit more laughter from him.
"Hahaha, you're as funny as always, Tsuki-chan," He said, putting my arm around his shoulder, helping me up.
"Of course Yamamoto, of course," I grinned. You see, Yamamoto and I sort of have an understanding, both of us knew there's more to our happy-go-lucky act, and we both accepted each other about that.
Yamamoto kindly took me to the infirmary to have my knee checked before helping me to the gym, me hobbling beside him with my bandaged ankle. As we made our way to the gym, I swear I saw the baby appear at the side of the corridor, smirked at me before disappearing. Either that or my mind is finally going crazy.
The first thing I did after taking in the scene in the gym, was to facepalm.
My brother, appearing almost-naked with only his boxes, ripping Mochida-senpai's hair off. As in, he did not frggin' stop until he went bald.
What. The. Frick?!
A defending cheer erupted the moment he was declared winner, and all of them began to surround him, leaving me with my jaw hung open, and Yamamoto laughing heartedly next to me. Even for me, this is way too weird.
"Oh look, Sasagawa-san is talking to your brother, isn't that good?" Yamamoto pointed out, and he was right. Well, at least there's a good ending despite all these craziness?
"Herbivore."
I practically jumped upon hearing this voice, and with whatever little courage, or suicidal resolution I have, I slowly turned my head back, still leaning against Yamamoto. Well, I actually have shifted slightly behind Yamamoto, hoping he can be my meat shield for a while.
"Y-Yes, Hibari?"
"Your brother has caused a disruption, I'll bite you to death." He growled, glaring eyes in slit. He already had his tonfas out, in his fighting stance. There's only one solution...
"RUN YAMAMOTO! RUN!"
Ever since Tsuna defeated Mochida-senpai, not many people called him Dame-Tsuna anymore, and he had been walking on cloud ninth. Though I think Kyoko finally acknowledged him was the main reason why.
Throughout these few days, Reborn had been training us in the most unconventional ways ever. True to my words, Reborn was a scary baby, mercilessly kicking us on the face or having us at gun point whenever he wishes. I was so scary I'm pretty sure I can recite the working of dying will bullets, and what my duties are for being the 10th Vongola boss' advisor.
Yeah, you heard me.
Me, Aho-Tsuki, the advisor.
Because fuck logic, right?
"Ne, Hibari-sama, can I please go and watch the volleyball tournament?" I asked again from my paperwork, serving my daily detention. Earlier this morning, some random student came up and asked Tsuna to help sub a player, even called him a hero. Being the gullible boy he was, he agreed. It's very rare to see Tsuna having some confidence in himself, and being his twin, of course I want to be there to support him!
I stared at Hibari hopefully, willing my puppy dog eyes to appeal to his humanistic side. Both Tsuna and I shared Momma's huge, innocent eyes, and unlike Tsuna, I like to milk the benefits of it. One would think any sane human being would understand this sibling love, but Hibari clearly was an exception.
"No."
"... ... Of course, what else am I expecting from the demon," I grumbled, only to have a huge ass stapler chucked towards me, hitting my head.
"Finish sorting out all the papers before I bite you to death."
"Geez, fetish much?" I mumbled again, only to be hit with a paper weight this time.
"You have something else to say, herbivore?" Hibari glared, his tonfas peeking through his sleeves.
"Nothing! Not a single word! Paperwork! Right away!" I yelped, making a huge show in sorting the papers out.
"Good."
God, I'm pathetic.
"Okay everyone; this is our new transfer student. He just returned from studying in Italy. Gokudera Hayato."
My ears perked up at the word 'Italy', for that's where Reborn was from. I know that caught Tsuna's interest too, seeing how Reborn pretty much tormented us every single second. The transfer student, without a doubt...
Is a pimp.
White hair, evil eyes, messy uniform and various accessories that screamed delinquency...
PIMP!
"Hey...isn't he like, super hot?"
"And he studied abroad!"
I studied the guy some more, him walking towards us despite the sensei trying to get his attention. If my eyes were not deceiving me, was he glaring at Tsuna?
My suspicions was confirmed when he stopped right in between us, and kicked Tsuna's table.
"What the hell punk! What's your bleeping problem?!" I instantly got up, giving that douche my own glare. No one mess with the Sawadas!
"It's none of your business, bitch!" He spat, his hands still deep in his pocket.
"Not my problem?!" I flared, grabbing his collar, "That's my brother's table you just kicked! Not my problem my ass! You want a piece of me huh, you bleeping bleep? I'll -"
"SAWADA TSUKI! LANGUAGE! GO REPORT TO THE DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW!"
... Crap.
"EEEEEK! I swear! It wasn't my fault! That new transfer student started it!" I screamed, barely dodging an upcoming attack.
"Irrelevant."Hibari stated, never once stopping. Today was one of those days where he's not feeling as nice benevolent, deciding to bite to death than giving me manual labour work like the slave he like to think all Namimori students were.
"H-How is that, -eep!- Irreleve- GAK!"
Ouch, a blow right at the stomach. Such a gentleman that Hibari was.
"Get up, Herbivore."
"Oh come on Hibari, you and I both know how this is going to end, why bother?" I moaned, wiping some blood away from my chin. Seriously, this whole dodging and eventually getting hit thing had been going on for 20 minutes, 20 longest minutes of my life. I actually missed the times when I would just black out from one blow. Now, with my increasing tolerance towards pain, it's getting harder to faint.
Not cool.
"No matter," He said coldly, and just as his tonfa was about to strike down, there was a loud explosion right outside, the whole school shaking a little, distracting the demon. I secretly thank whoever that caused the commotion, so thankful that I think I'm going to marry whoever caused it.
"Hn," Was all Hibari said before leaving the room, and it was all what he needs to say. Wouldn't want him to waste his precious breath right?
"Now, chance," I said to myself before running out, bumping onto Yamamoto on my way. "Oh Yamamoto! I'm looking for my brother, do you know where he is?"
"Ah, come to think of it, I think he's at the backyard with that new transfer student," Yamamoto muttered, "Want to go look for him?"
Tsuna... with that newly transferred punk?
"Lead the way!"
We pretty much ran there and as always, we only caught the ending, and that's when Tsuna again, practically naked with only his boxes while running around extinguishing... dynamites?
Wait, was Gokudera my hero?
I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT!
"I'm sorry! I was wrong about you! Tenth! I'll follow you to the ends of the earth! Ask whatever you want of me!" The transferred student suddenly exclaimed, kneeling in front of Tsuna.
"Huh? What's that about?" I asked.
"It's the rule that the loser serves the winner's family." Reborn explained, smirking.
"Rule?" Tsuna asked, still confused, not for me though.
"H-He's joining the family?!" I cried in disbelief, "No way! No way I'm accepting this punk! A million, trillion times n-" Before I can finish, Reborn had kicked me in the face, sending me flying away.
"HIIII! Tsuki!"
"As the tenth's advisor, you will accept the Gokudera into the family." Reborn stated, it wasn't even a suggestion.
"Of course Reborn-kami, anything for the family." I forced a smile, though brows twitching, not before shooting Yamamoto a grateful smile for helping me up.
"Good," Reborn smirked, "From today onward, Hurricane bomb will be part of the fa-"
"Hurricane bomb? Ha!" I snorted, "What a stupid na-!"
"Never interrupt me."
"Tsuki!" Tsuna screamed when he saw Reborn delivered another kick towards his sister, effectively knocking her out. Thank god that Yamamoto was there to catch her in time, but strangely, the baseball athletic was acting like his sister being kicked by a baby was all normal?!
"You're really such a funny guy, let me into the group too!" Yamamoto suddenly pipped up, "Tsuna, you're the boss right? Do I have to ask for Tsuki-chan's permission too?"
Not him too!
It's official, his life was definitely a mess.
