CHAPTER 16:

School festival: Vongola Style-Part 2

"Mukuro…"

"Shhh…let me take care this" Mukuro whispers before licking her earlobe gently.

"Ahh…Muku…mmmhh" Mukuro presses his lips against her. She could feel his tongue trying to enter her mouth, but couldn't as she clams her mouth shut.

Mukuro smiles at her. "That isn't nice, Tsunami-chan shutting me out like that."

Tsunami blushes before looks another way.

"Kufufu…how cute" He said before proceed to her neck, which was smooth and untouched. He nipped at her neck before sucking the place gently.

The feeling of her skin getting sucks made Tsunami moans. Mukuro took this as an opportunity and stick his tongue in.

She felt his tongue roamed around the moist cavern of her. She moans as he continued to play with her tongue.

They break apart from the lack of oxygen, leaving a trail of saliva in between their lips. Tsunami's eyes were half-lidded and dazed at the illusionist. It feels so good! She couldn't take it anymore.

"Mukuro…*Pant*…I want…*Pant*…" Mukuro put his finger on her lips.

"Not yet…I want to tease you more…" Mukuro grins mischievously. He grabs her breasts and fondles them playfully. She didn't even notice that her bra was gone.

"Ahh…Muku…ro…ah…" Mukuro continues his assault on the brunette. He planted a trail of butterfly kisses down to her navel, which he flickers with his tongue.

"…no…*Pant*…not my…ahhh…" She moans and arched her back. Mukuro smirks and looks at her.

"Looks like I found your sensitive spot…Kufufu…"He playfully licks around her navel. She closes her eyes and bit on her lips, fighting back the moan that tried to come out from her mouth.

"Tsunami-chan is so sensitive." Mukuro chuckled before staring at Tsunami, whose face was flushing red, her mouth was open and panting.

"Do you want more?" He asked.

Being control by lust and pleasure, she nodded blindly.

"Good girl"

Tsunami moans softly as the illusionist's touch tingled her sensitive skin, trailing down from her breasts to her panties, then he stops.

She looks at her mist guardian with those teary eyes, begging him to continue. He smiles at her before sliding his hand into her panties.

"GWAHHHHH!" Tsunami's eyes snap open and bolted upright. She gasps for air and felt her heart was pounding hard in her chest. She looks around and signs in relief when she realized she was in her room.

"Having nightmares, Dame-Tsunami?" Reborn asked from his hammock. It appears that he was awakened by her scream. Who knows what will the sadistic tutor of her do if he know about the dream she was having.

"Um no, just having some weird dream about marshmallow..." She could felt Reborn's intense stare on her, wanting her to tell the truth. But she couldn't.

"I better go wash up and get ready for school." She hastily left the room, not even waits for the Arcobaleno to question her.

Tsunami sighs as she let the water rains down on her. Her mind wandered back to the dream she had with Mukuro. But is it really a dream?

It seems real to her. She never expect to dream about Mukuro and her getting so intimate together. And that kissing and touching…is it supposed to feel good?

Tsunami covers her blushing cheeks and whines. She did not just think that way! About sex!

She turns the shower off and walks past the mirror but stop in her track. There was a bruise on her neck. She was puzzled. Why was there a bruise on her neck? She had not done anything that might cause the bruise expects for…

Tsunami's eyes widen. That bruise is in the exact spot in her dream, which mean that it was a hickey! She put her hand on her neck and rubs it, hoping it will just go away. Unfortunately, it doesn't. If Reborn or anyone find out about the hickey, she will be very, very dead!

She reaches out to her school uniform but realize she had left them outside. Sighing at her carelessness, she was about to grab a towel and wraps around her body when the door was suddenly opens by…Xanxus.

Xanxus froze and drops his towel as he stares at Tsunami. She stares at him back. They stared at each other until Xanxus backs away and closed the door, not even bother to pick up his towel.

The sound of the door closing made Tsunami come back to her sense.

"HIIEE!" She squeals and wraps her body with the towel. But she knows it's already too late. Xanxus had seen her naked! They basically live in the same house and rooms across one another! And the lacy underwear thingy…imagines the embarrassment…

The door opens. Tsunami looks up and her eyes widen. It was Xanxus with her uniform in his hands.

"Take your clothes, trash." He throws her uniform to her.

Tsunami blinks at her clothes and looked up at him. "Eh?"

"Are you going to put on some clothes or keep staring at me?"

She smiles. "Um…thank for the help."

"Tch, I just want to use the bathroom." He said with a blush, which was unnoticed by Tsunami. "Hurry up, trash!"

"But I want to thank you again for bringing my–" Xanxus closed the door before Tsunami could finish her sentence.

Well…at least he didn't yell at me this time. Tsunami thought.

Wearing her favorite orange hoodie along with her uniform, she grabs her bag and rushes down the stair, hoping to get to the door before being discovered.

"Tsu-chan?" She froze. She slowly turns to Nana.

"Where are you going, Tsu-chan?"

"I'm going to school."

"This early? At least have your breakfast before you go." Nana said. Tsunami took a glimpse at the kitchen and shivers when she felt Reborn was staring at her with those sharp, piercing eyes of his. She is not letting Reborn finding out.

"I can't, Mom. I've to help my class prepare for the school festival." Nana sighs.

"All right, but at least take this when you get hungry." She hands Tsunami her bento.

"Thank Mom." Tsunami gives her mother a hug before leaving the house.

Reborn watches Tsunami leave the house. He was sure that no-good student of his was hiding something from him. He noticed a bruise on her neck when she left in a hurry.

Could it be a hickey?! Reborn growls as he snaps the chopsticks in half.

"That was a close one." Tsunami mumbled as she walks to her class. She feels kind of bad leaving Yamamoto and Gokudera behind, but it was either that or spending time in the kitchen with Reborn watching her every move.

She sighs before sliding opens the door.

"Ohayou, Tsunami-chan!"

"Ohayou, Kyoko-chan!" Tsunami greets. She looks at Kyoko weirdly.

"Kyoko-chan, what are you wearing?"

She replies. "A maid costume!"

"Why are you wearing a maid costume?"

"Because we're doing a maid café." Tsunami turns to Hana, who was wearing one as well.

"EH!?"

"The class president says this best way to show our support for you in the coming pageant." Hana sighs before looking at her.

"Why are you wearing a hoodie?"

"Um…because I feel like it?" Hana narrowed her eyes in suspicion but did not press further. Instead, she looks at the clock and realizes it was time to do it.

"Sorry about this, Tsunami…" Hana snaps her finger. The girls suddenly appear out of nowhere, surround the brunette.

"What? What is going on?" Tsunami had a terrified look on her face.

One of the girls takes out a set of maid attire, smiling creepily while getting closer and closer. "Don't worry, Tsunami-chan. We'll be gentle."

"HIIEEE!" Tsunami screams as her clothes were being thrown out of the window.

"Tch, why am I always ending up walking to school with you?" Gokudera questions the baseball idol. They bump into each other at the school entrance while looking for Tsunami.

"Haha…this is a small neighborhood, Gokudera." Yamamoto answers. The bomber pays no attention to him and was focus on getting to school to see Tsunami. He suddenly heard a thud behind him. He turns around and saw a maid was lying on top of the rain guardian.

Must be from the baseball idiot fan-club! He mentally sighs.

"Oi, Baseball idiot! Quit wasting time and get rid of the stupid –"Gokudera froze as he saw the face of the maid.

"Princess?"

30 minutes ago…

"This looks good on you, Tsunami-chan!" Tsunami looks at herself in the mirror; her maid uniform consists of a low v-cut neck black dress that pretty much reveal her cleavage, a white frilly waist apron with tiny black crystals attached to it. Thigh high white stockings fit nicely on her long slender legs with the addition of a pair of high heels. And finally, a white maid headband rested on her head as well as a pair of long, fluffy rabbit ears.

"You look so cute, Tsunami-chan!"

"Um…what am I wearing?"

"A maid costume." One of the girls answered.

"Eh! But…why is mine different from the rest of your? And it's too revealing!" Tsunami looks at her costume and the rest of the class. It looks really different.

"This is a maid costume that is specially made just for you, Tsunami-chan. It's our hard work." The class president, Saya, explained.

"But this is against the school rule." Tsunami was hoping the idea of violating the school rule would change her mind. Unfortunately, the class president had a trump card on her hand. She pulls out a piece of paper and shows it to the brunette.

"This is an acknowledge letter from the school, it clearly states that they allow your maid attire to be shown during the school festival."

Which pervert acknowledge this? Tsunami grabs the letter from Saya and studies it, firstly at the name of the staff. Saya smirks behind her glasses when Tsunami's eyes widen at the name.

"Dr. Shamal?! He is the one acknowledge this?" Tsunami said in mild surprise. "But he is just the school doctor!" She cried out.

"Technically the school doctor is considered as a teaching staff of the school. Plus he is the one that come up with the design of your maid costume." Saya spoke, not knowing that comment have made the brunette goes numb.

"WHAT!" Hana clenches her fists. "It was that pervert doctor's idea? I thought you say about spending days and nights, designing Tsunami's costume until you faint from hunger!"

"Well, all of that is true, expect for the designing part. Fortunately, Shamal-sensei came by and helps me…" Saya patiently explains her reason but Hana wouldn't listen. She stated about letting a pervert doctor getting involved in their class's affairs.

Tsunami gulped as she watches the argument between Saya and Hana. Girls are scarier than boys.

Then her hyper intuition was telling her something. She frowns, not knowing why her hyper intuition is acting this way. She took a glimpse at the window to see where her clothes were before realizing what it means.

Escape! Escape! Her intuition was telling her to escape. With Kyoko and the rest were focusing on calming the heated argument down, Tsunami find the perfect time to make her move. Without a moment of hesitation, she run and leaps through the window and landed on a tree branch. From there, she made her way down to the ground carefully as she was wearing high heels.

She mentally cheers when her feet touches the ground. She looks up at her classroom, which was three storeys up from where she was standing.

Guess all that training with Reborn did help after all. She chuckles at the thought, but she won't say it out loud. Reborn would be conducting more of his training if he hears her saying that.

"Now to find my clothes before anyone does." She said to herself but bad luck tends to follow the Vongola heiress.

"Tsunami-chan, where are you going?" It appears that she had been discovers. Doing the most common thing when being spotted, she run as fast as she could. However, running in high heels were proven to be difficult as she struggle to maintain her balance throughout her running.

Shutter! Shutter!

While turning her head to look for the source of the noise; she loses her balance and fell to the ground. All of the sudden, a pair of arms grabs her shoulders and she felt she landed on something warm. She looks up and found herself staring at her rain guardian, Yamamoto.

Jump back to the present…

"Get your hands off her, baseball idiot!" Gokudera yelled, rushes in to Tsunami's side and help her up.

"Are you alright, Princess?" Tsunami nods as she turns to Yamamoto, asking him if he was alright.

"Haha…I'm fine, Tsunami. I'm just glad you were okay."

Tsunami blushes and Yamamoto chuckles at her reaction. Gokudera was furious that Yamamoto was getting all the attention from Tsunami. He was about to shout at him when he suddenly remembers what Tsunami was wearing.

"Princess, what are you wearing?" The bomber asks. Tsunami felt her cheeks redden as she felt both of them staring at her.

"Well…you see…" Tsunami pauses and suddenly grabs both of their hands and dragged them into the nearest bushes.

"Princess, what is going–"

"Shhh!" Tsunami places her finger on her lips. Both of the boys flush at the sight of their boss.

She looks so cute and sexy! They thought as they continued to look at her. She let out a small sigh of relief as she sits in between her guardians. She notices her guardians were staring at her.

"I look weird, don't I?"

"Of course not, Princess! You look really cute in that!"

"Really? Um…thank." She blushes before giving him a smile. Gokudera was mentally thanking whoever was the one that make that dress. She looks so fragile and cute in it. His love for her has reached to a higher level.

"It makes me want to eat you up." Yamamoto said. Tsunami's face reddens. Gokudera growls at the baseball idol for making such inappropriate comments and blames himself as well for not saying it.

"Found you, Tsunami-chan!" Tsunami flinches. She slowly turns her head around and found Saya was smiling at her.

"HIEEE!"

Saya smirks as she pushed her glasses up a little. "Thank god of those long rabbit ears of yours, I'm able to find you."

Tsunami was confused at first; not knowing what does the class president mean until she touch the long fluffy groans thing on her head. She groans as a question came into her mind. Why didn't she take it off when she was escaping?

The boys were equally surprise that they didn't notice the existence of the ears until now. Not that they were complaining, it just made her even cuter than before.

"Don't be shy, Tsunami-chan. Come on." Saya said as several girls appeared and grabs the Vongola heiress. Gokudera immediately enter protective mode, he demands Tsunami to be free but was denied by Saya.

"Oi, Woman. What the hell you think you are doing to the Princess!"

The glasses girl simply answers. "She is the star of our maid café."

"Maid café?" Yamamoto scratches his head.

"Our class is doing maid café as our class theme, and Tsunami-chan is the main attention." Saya continued. "And the boys will be in charge of giving out the flyers."

Gokudera erupted in anger. "WHAT!"

Tsunami working in the maid café…alone, serving and address them as masters. Obeying and getting touch by those she had called master, which will involve to…

"THERE IS NO WAY I WILL ALLOW THAT!" The bomber exclaimed.

"Sorry, weren't asking–" Saya pauses for a while. She smiles at them as she has think of a brilliant idea.

"I think I've a proposition for you guys, interested?"

Tsunami fidgets as she looks down at the floor. She had been attracting a lot of attention ever since she was dragged back into class. Mostly came from the boys and they look pretty excited for some reason. She would occasionally look up and some of the boys would blush and turn away from her. There were also some mutterings going around the boys. She knows that it was about her but she didn't know whether was good or bad.

She had thought of using the window to escape again but somehow she doesn't have the courage to do it a second time. Guess that have to do with her hyper intuition.

"Tsunami-chan, are you alright?" Tsunami looks up at Kyoko and smile at her.

"I'm fine."

"Don't worry about it, Tsunami. We're here to help you." Hana smiles and place her hand on her shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"Arigatou, Hana." Hana suddenly notice that the boys were staring at them.

"Now if you'll excuse me…"

"Eh?" Tsunami watches in confusion as Hana turns to the boys and shouted. "Stop staring at Tsunami, will ya?"

The boys immediately disperse away, went to do their works for the café before the opening. Hana smirks in satisfaction and looks at Tsunami, who can only smile back.

Tsunami was shocked when Saya announced that both Gokudera and Yamamoto will be helping out in the café, as butlers. The rest of the boys were envy and jealous at them as they were being assigned to distribute flyers throughout the festival period. The girls on the other hand were ecstatic enough when they learn Gokudera and Yamamoto would be coming to help, they even shriek when they see them in their butler attire, much to the bomber's annoyance.

The school bell rang, indicating the start of the school festival. Tsunami and the girls were standing at front of the entrance while Gokudera and Yamamoto were standing at the side despite the fact that the bomber wanting to stand beside his boss.

Saya opens the door and a strong of customers enters the café. As on cue, Tsunami and the girls bowed.

"Welcome home, Master!"

It was going well in the maid café, maybe a little too well. Tsunami had gotten her hands full in just only a few hours since their opening. She have been greeting, taking down orders and serving non-stop. She had never work so hard in her life…maybe that was before meeting Reborn.

In addition, she has no idea that she was so popular that even students and visitors from other towns have come as well. And what she heard from Hana, a long queue has been formed and almost all of them request her, the princess. She frowns at the title but before she could questions Hana, she was sent out to greet another customer.

"Please have a nice day, Master." Tsunami bowed as the customer left the café. After clearing the table, she went to the counter to give the money.

"Hana, here is the payment for table five."

"It seem that you're really popular, Tsunami" Hana commented.

Tsunami shook her head. "You've no idea."

"This is the reason why I refer to be the one that collect the money rather than getting harassed by those monkeys."

Monkeys? She sweat dropped at her answer.

"How is Kyoko-chan doing?" Tsunami decides to change the subject.

"Well actually she is doing quite well." Tsunami follows Hana's gaze. Kyoko was serving to a family of four and it look like she was having fun with the kids.

"But that is until her brother find out about it." Tsunami's smile disappears. The thought of Ryohei going into a rampage in school suddenly came into mind. If it really happens, Hibari will bite both of them to death.

Tsunami shivers at the thought as she mentally swore to keep it a secret from her sun guardian.

"I'm glad." She continues.

"At least she is doing a lot better than those two monkeys over there." Hana stated, pointing her finger at the two.

Tsunami looked at Yamamoto first. He was currently serving cakes to a couple of girls, who seems to squeal in delight when he smiles at them. He was about to leave when one of the girls tug his sleeve and muttering something to him.

Tsunami was dumbfounded when one of the girls spoon-fed him. She knows that it was part of their job to serve the customers, but for the customer to serve them instead? This is totally unheard of! Given Yamamoto's personality, he would just treat this as part of the job, but for her…wait, why is she feeling so frustrated about?

Trying to get rid of her strange feeling, she turns her attention to Gokudera. He was giving an omelette to a girl. The girl then shows him a red bottle which make her guess that the girl was asking Gokudera to decorate her omelette. The bomber looks annoyed by her request and glares at her before walking away. If only it was that simple…

The girl squeals and clings onto his arm. Tsunami felt her eyebrows twitching as the girl was still clinging onto Gokudera while he angrily demands her to let go. She didn't know why she felt this way, but she just doesn't like it.

"Tsunami-chan!" Tsunami felt a hand of her shoulders. It was Saya.

"Tsunami-chan, our VIP is coming. I need you to stand beside me and greet him when he arrives."

"Um…ok?"

Tsunami grabs her tray and turns to Hana. "Duty call…again"

Hana chuckled. "Well, good luck with that, Tsunami."

"Thank!"

Tsunami quickly stands beside Saya and waits for the special guest. Moments later, the bell rang.

"Welcome home, Master." Saya bows. Tsunami follows but her eyes widen when she realize who the special guest was.

"Dr. Shamal!" Tsunami exclaimed. "You're the VIP?"

"WHAT IS THAT PERVERT BASTARD DOING HERE!?" Gokudera screamed angrily. He hasn't forgotten the time when he grope Tsunami's breast and almost kiss her.

"GET OUT!" He ordered.

"You don't have the right to ask him to get out, Gokudera." Saya said. "Tsunami-chan, take our VIP to his table."

"WAIT! Why is Princess taking him to his table? Go ask the other maids."

"Shamal-sensei had already request Tsunami-chan as his maid." Saya explained calmly. "We've to respect our customer's decision."

"THAT'S CRAP! I won't allow Princess to serve that man." Gokudera stated firmly.

Tsunami looked around the café. It has created quite a commotion. Everyone's gaze was on them. Hana mutters about "Monkey" and "Stupid pervert" while some children ask their parents what does "Pervert" or "Bastard" mean. She will have to teach Gokudera about minding his language in the public but that will have to wait.

"Dr. Shamal!" All eyes were on the brunette. She bowed. "Shall I take you to your table?"

"Oh certainly, Tsunami-chan~" Shamal grins happily.

"Princess, what are you doing?" Gokudera asks. Tsunami just gives him a reassuring smile and takes the doctor to his table.

Seeing the commotion was settled, everyone resume their work.

"Gokudera, if you show any form of disrespect to our guest, I'll have you distributing flyers for the remaining days." Saya reminded. Gokudera shrugs.

"And away from Tsunami-chan." Gokudera froze. "Do you understand?"

Clenching his fists, he reluctantly nodded his head in agreement. Saya smirks and told him to get back to work.

"Maa maa, Gokudera." Yamamoto gives a pat in the back. "Tsunami will be fine. I'm sure he won't do anything to her in public, we just need to keep an eye of him."

"I hope you're right, baseball idiot."

"Dr. Shamal. Here is your cake." Tsunami presents the cake. It was a double layer chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting and the chocolate curls on top of it. "It is our café signature cake. Enjoy."

Shamal shook his head. "Is that how you address your master, Tsunami-chan?"

Tsunami tried again. "M-master! Here is your cake. Please enjoy it" She turns around and leaves, but was stopped by Shamal.

"Wait, Tsunami-chan, aren't you going to feed me?"

"But…uh…"

"Isn't a maid supposed to obey her master?"

Tsunami looks at Shamal and then looks at the cake. She sighs before picking up the cake.

"M-master, Say ahhh~"

"Ahhh!" Shamal opened his mouth and consume the cake.

"You look so cute when you say that." The doctor was in tears of joy as he swallowed the desert.

"Thank you, Master!" Tsunami smiles uncomfortably. Just get this over with, Pervert!

"That pervert bastard!" Gokudera muttered as he watches the scene near the counter. The look of Shamal's face really annoyed him. How dare he order Tsunami like that? He doesn't deserve it!

"I forget to give our VIP his cup of coffee!" Hana make a comment, causing Gokudera to look at her. "I wonder who can help me…" She glares at the bomber at the last sentence. Gokudera smirks in understanding as he rises up his hand.

"Let me help you with that!"

"Ahhh!" Shamal ate the last piece of the cake. Tsunami was glad. With the cake gone, all she had to do is to wipe Shamal's mouth and her job is done.

Tsunami grabs a piece of tissue and gently wipes any chocolate strain off Shamal's mouth. She bowed and thanks him for his time.

"Tsunami-chan!" Shamal said as he grabs her hands. "For your great service, I decided to give you a reward."

"Sorry, Master. We can't accept any form of reward from our customers." Tsunami was getting really uncomfortable with Shamal grabbing her hands like that. She know what he want, and he is not getting it.

"If that's the case, maybe you can give me a kiss instead!"

"We also don't provide that kind of service"

Shamal pouts and was about to make another comment, Tsunami heard a thud behind her. She turns and saw Gokudera on the ground. Shamal was seen yelling in pain as he places his hand on his groin. He ran out of the café even before she realized.

Saya was furious. She demanded an explanation from Gokudera, who stated he tripped and spill the coffee onto Shamal by accident. The class president didn't believe at first, but with Tsunami and the others support his claim. She has no choice but to accept it.

It was lunch time. Tsunami finds herself alone with Yamamoto on the roof.

The reason? Saya has tasked Gokudera to serve 2 more customers as punishment. While he protests in the beginning, he quickly submitted, much to Tsunami's surprise. Although he promises to catch up with her once he finishes, Tsunami doubt her storm guardian will be joining them for lunch, given by his popularity with the majority of the girls.

Kyoko was searching for Ryohei as the boxer was excited about the festival that he literally forgot about bringing his bento along. Hana follows and states they will be back after giving the bento.

Tsunami opens the lid of her bento box and was preparing to take small bites while waiting for Kyoko and Hana. She felt Yamamoto's gaze on her.

"Tsunami, what is that on your neck?" He asks.

Tsunami's mind was in the state of panic when she heard Yamamoto saying that. She averts her eyes, trying to think of an answer.

"That is a…mosquito bite!" She answers.

"That's shaped like a pineapple?"

"Haha…weird, right?" She said, hoping her rain guardian would believe it. And to her relief, he did.

"That looks serious. Hopefully, it will be gone in a few days."

"Yeah" She suddenly notices something.

"Yamamoto, where is your bento?"

The baseball idol laughed lightly and rubs the back of his neck. "I forget to bring it today."

"I can share mine if you want." Tsunami offered. Yamamoto blinks.

"Really?" Tsunami nods her head as she place the bento in between their laps. She takes her chopsticks and takes a piece of chicken from the bento.

"Yamamoto…" She said shyly.

Yamamoto grins. "Itadakimasu!" He opens his mouth and let her guide the chicken into his mouth. Tsunami giggles while watching Yamamoto continues to gobble down the piece of meat in his mouth.

Yamamoto notice the brunette stared at him. He laughs in embarrassment. "Sorry, I must be too hungry."

Tsunami laughs. Yamamoto laughs with her. They continued like this until Tsunami asks him a question.

"Yamamoto, have you ever like another girl?"

Yamamoto nearly chokes when he heard that coming out of Tsunami.

"Wait, what?" He managed to say out. Silence follows.

"The only person I like and love is you, Tsunami."

"Oh…" Seeing Tsunami's reaction, Yamamoto was wondering what was going on. He thinks and thinks. His eyes widen as the pieces of the puzzle were finally coming together in his mind.

"Are you jealous?"

Tsunami blinks and shifts her gaze to her rain guardian, who was smiling.

"Huh?"

"Are you jealous, Tsunami?" He continued. "I only treat those girls as customers, guests."

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous?" Tsunami exclaimed as she puffed out her cheeks, looking annoyed. Inwardly, she groans. Ever since that erotic dream with Mukuro, she was beginning to feel something for her guardians, something beyond the boundary of friendship. Perhaps is love?

"Haha…Tsunami looks so cute when she is jealous." Yamamoto gently ruffled her hair, causing her rabbit ears to wave along. Tints of red appear on her cheeks.

"Tsunami" She lifts her head up upon hearing her name. Her eyes widen in realisation, as she felt something moist and warm pressing against her lips. Yamamoto Takeshi was kissing her!

After a few seconds, Yamamoto pulls away from the kiss. Tsunami touches her lips lightly before staring at him with surprise, shock and confusion in her eyes.

"Sorry about taking your first kiss…I just..." The baseball idol was trying to find words to explain his action. "I couldn't control my feelings for you."

Tsunami felt her heart racing. Yamamoto had just kissed her. Now she had heard his confession, she did not know what to say. Shyly lifting up her head, she could see her rain guardian staring at her with those amber eyes of his.

He was waiting for an answer.

"It's okay, Yamamoto!" Tsunami said the first thing that came into her mind, trying to ignore the fluffy feeling in her heart. The baseball idol gives the biggest smile that she had ever seen.

"Tsunami…" Tsunami felt her face glowed bright red as he leans closer. "Can I kiss you again?"

Tsunami did not respond as Yamamoto presses his lips against her. A jolt of electricity tingles at the back of her mind. She gasps at the sudden feeling but relaxes when he put his hand at the back of her head, deepened the kiss. They break apart when Tsunami was gasping for air.

"You taste like honey." Yamamoto comments. Tsunami lets out a small squeak in response and punches her rain guardian playfully in the chest.

Yamamoto chuckled at the sight and descended toward Tsunami for the third time. Their lips were about to touch…

"Princess!" Both Tsunami and Yamamoto jumped away at the voice of the bomber, quickly scrambled back to their positions.

Gokudera, who was unaware of the situation between the two earlier, much to their relief, greets Tsunami politely.

He then notices how red Tsunami's face was. So was Yamamoto. His mind instantly made a connection between the two. He snaps.

"What did you do to her, baseball idiot?!"

"Uh…" Yamamoto laughs nervously as he rubs the back of his neck. Tsunami remains bright red; her eyes were lock onto the ground.

Gokudera was about to question the baseball idol again when Ryohei came bursting through the door, along with Kyoko and Hana.

"EXTREMELY HUNGRY!" Ryohei yelled before looking at Tsunami.

"TSUNAMI, YOU LOOK EXTREMELY CUTE!"

"Don't yell so loudly to the Princess when she is right beside you." Gokudera glares at the boxer, forgetting about the confrontation earlier.

"What did you say, octopus head?"

"You hear what I say, lawn head!"

Yamamoto immediately acts as mediator among the two. Tsunami sighs while Hana crosses her arms.

"Boys will be boys."

"Hibari-san, where are we going?"

"The restroom."

Hibari have her dragged out of the café in the midst of serving a customer. Gokudera was enrage by the prefect's action but was hold back by Yamamoto when they left.

"Why are we going to the restroom?" Tsunami's face was going red.

There was silence for a few seconds before Hibari open his mouth. "You're late for your Discipline committee's duty."

"Discipline committee? I don't recall signing up!"

Hibari glances at her before replying. "You did"

Reborn! Tsunami groans. She remains in silence as Hibari continue to pull her along. Tsunami notices the looks of the students when they passed by them. It must be surprising that the head of the Discipline committee would actually hold hands with a girl wearing a very revealing maid attire.

Hibari suddenly stop, causing Tsunami to bump into him.

"Hibari-san?" She asks when she realise they had reach their destination. Kusakabe was standing in front of them, who smile at her but quickly turn his face neutral when he sense Hibari's glare at him.

"Tsunami, change into this." Hibari said calmly. Kusakabe walks up to her and give her a set of the school uniform, along with the committee's armband.

"Wearing inappropriate attire is a violation to the Discipline committee, that attire you're wearing is an example."

Tsunami looks down at her attire and laughs, earning stares from the prefect and his vice-chair. She mumbles an apology before entering the restroom.

While waiting for Tsunami to change, they have earns themselves a few curious stares from the students that were passing by, wondering why is the discipline committee guarding the female restroom.

Hibari occasionally glares at the students, making them shivers while trying their best to walk away from him as far as possible. Kusakabe would chew on the long blade of grass in his mouth; keeping a lookout for students that may break the school rule.

Girls sure took a long time to change. The vice-chair sighs at the thought, which causes Hibari to shoot a glare at him. Kusakabe immediately bows and apologise for his action.

After what seem to be a long wait, Tsunami emerges from the restroom, along with the dress in her hands.

"Sorry, I've a bit of trouble with the stockings."

"Vice-chair, return those to class 2-A." Hibari ordered. "And I want you to assign patrol duties to the rest immediately once you are done."

"Hai!" Kusakabe nods as he takes the dress from Tsunami, bowed at them and walks away.

Tsunami squeaks as Hibari held her hand and started to pull her along.

"H-Hibari-san?"

"We are patrolling the school."

Tsunami follows her cloud guardian quietly, conducting checks in every classroom, stalls and personals they come across ensure discipline was enforced.

Tsunami notices a familiar red-haired teen nearby. She pulled free from the prefect's grip and, run toward to the teen.

"Shoichi-kun!"

"Tsunami-chan!" Shoichi blushes at the sight of Tsunami. Was she always this cute?

"It's a surprise to see you here"

"I just come to say hello." She looks down at his flyers and asks.

"What are you guys doing for your class?"

"Haunted house"

"Really?"

Shoichi nods. "Enough about me, Tsunami-chan. What about you? I heard your class is doing a maid café."

"Yeah but right now, I'm helping out the Discipline committee."

"So you join the Discipline committee?" Tsunami nods and mutters a word.

"Reborn." Shoichi laughs nervously at the mention of the baby. Only he was capable of something like that.

"It's his fault." She grumbles. "Because of him, I'm doing patrolling with Hibari-san."

Shoichi suddenly shivers as he felt Hibari's glare, with the intent to bite him to death. He nervously smiles at him.

"Hello!"

"Hmph." Hibari walks up to Tsunami and grabs her hand. "We're going."

Tsunami called a quick goodbye to Shoichi before he disappears into the crowd from her sight. They went on to the school yard where the food stalls were located. Her heart skips a beat when she saw the cotton candy stall. It had been years since she has eaten any cotton candy. The last time was with her father, when she was six.

She sighs at the memory. She looks at the cotton candy stall for the last time and wonders what her father is doing now.

CEDEF Headquarter, Italy

"AH-CHOOO!"

"Master, did you catch a cold?" Basil asks, gazing at Iemitsu.

"Nah…It must Nana or my baby girl thinking about me." He leans back into his chair, smiling sweetly.

"Master is blessed to have such a loving family." Oregano commented.

"You really think so? I must the luckiest man on earth."

"The luckiest man is about to have Xanxus marries into the family." Lal Mirch said. Iemitsu rose up from his chair and yells.

"I won't let that beast marry to my Kawaii baby girl! NEVER!"

"Your Kawaii baby girl Tsunami might have already forgotten about you." She added. "The father that was never there."

Iemitsu went to a corner and kneeled, whining about he had failed to stop the marriage and failed as a father to Tsunami.

"M-master…" Basil went to comfort him while Oregano looks at Lal. She shrugs.

"I'm merely stating the facts."

She wasn't sure what Hibari was doing or where he was going. He left her in an empty spot near the festival ground, telling her not to wander around. She waited obediently by the side of the tree, watching the crowd enjoying themselves from a distant.

Tsunami suddenly felt long, slender fingers sliding through her hair. She turns her head around but saw no one. She had a feeling of knowing who it was but stays quiet. Hoping he will get the message and leave.

Apparently, he didn't get the message when Tsunami felt her skirt was being lifted up. She squeaks and jerks away.

"Mukuro, this isn't funny!" She cried.

"Kufufufu…" Tsunami suddenly found herself pins to the ground by Mukuro. She looks at the surroundings. They were no longer in school. They were in her room. Her bed.

"I thought doing in your room will make you feel more comfortable."

"What?"

Mukuro stroke her neck, making her shivers with his touch.

"Look like the hickey I make is still there."

"Hickey?" Tsunami froze. Her mind was processing Mukuro's words.

"HIIIEEE! That dream I have is your doing? This mean that you and I…" Tsunami tried to move but was pins under Mukuro's weight.

"Dreams are also illusions, Tsunami-chan. Always remember that" Mukuro smiled. His hands wander to her shirt, which surprise Tsunami that her vest mysteriously disappears.

"Beside," He grins. "You look like you enjoy that little fun we had earlier."

Tsunami blushes.

"Mukuro!"

"Relax! I will help you relive that pleasure," He whispers, warm breath tickles her ears. "Maybe ten times better…"

Before Tsunami could say anything, Mukuro leaped out from her view, which was replaces by a tonfa swinging and a blurry of something pink. She blinks. It was Hibari.

"What are you doing here?" Hibari growled. The surroundings were reverts back to their original state.

"That's supposed to be my line." Mukuro said. "You've interrupted my time with Tsunami-chan."

"I'll bite you to death." Hibari raises his tonfas, but blinks when he notices one of the tonfas in his hands was change into cotton candy.

"Kufufu…do you intend to bite me to death with cotton candy, Hibari Kyoya?" Mukuro laughs.

Hibari charged forward, with his only tonfa in his hand. Mukuro smirks and bring out his trident, blocking his attacks.

"The results will be the same no matter how many times you try; unless you throw that piece of candy."

"I'll bite you to death." It was the prefect's only reply as he swings his tonfa at the illusionist.

"Hibari-san?! Mukuro?!" Tsunami shouts. She pulls her hair in frustration.

"What do I should?"

"The answer is pretty easy."

Tsunami looks up. "Reborn?"

Without warning, Reborn appears and kicks Tsunami in the back of her head. She stumbles and land in between the two fighters.

Both Hibari and Mukuro immediately stop their fight and withdrew their weapons just in time before hitting the brunette.

"Reborn! Are you trying to kill me?" Tsunami clutches her head, glaring at the Arcobaleno.

"Consider it as an honor! I rarely help my student at all."

"Am I supposed to be grateful?"

"You better get going. The Pageant starts in less than an hour." Reborn said. "And remember to take care of that mosquito bite."

Tsunami's eyes widen and was about to reply when Hibari grabs her wrist.

"Infant, I'll take her there."

"All right"

"Hibari-san, what are you–" An oval, fluffy of pinkish sugar appears in front of her eyes.

"Eat it!" He said as he took and held her hand. Tsunami takes the cotton candy and follows her cloud guardian, still have no idea what was he up to.

Reborn pointed his gun at Mukuro. "Where do you think you are going?"

"To the Pageant, of course. Can't wait to see sweet Tsunami-chan performs."

"Let me give you a piece of advice, Mukuro. If you ever dare to do something to Tsunami against her will again, no matter where you run, I will personally hunt you down. You got that?"

Mukuro looks surprise. "Oya, oya…is that a death threat?"

"…" Reborn remain silence.

"Kufufu…no need to be so serious, Arcobaleno. I won't do anything to her unless she says otherwise."

Seeing Reborn clenches his fists, Mukuro smirks.

"Well now, is there something else you want to talk about, or I can go?"

Reborn lowers his gun. "You can go."

Mukuro smirks and walks away coolly.

Reborn growls as he watches the illusionist go. He looks at his hands. Those guardians of her have no idea how fortunate they are, to have her, to touch her, to kiss her…

Lucky bastards.

Hibari lead Tsunami to the back stage and into an unoccupied room. Tsunami had a feeling that Hibari was going to bite her to death.

"When did you get that mark from him?"

"Um…Hibari-san?"

"Sawada Tsunami, I'll not repeat myself." Hibari growled, slowly approaching her. "When did you get it?"

Hibari was pissed. Very pissed. Tsunami find herself unable to speak under the tense gaze the prefect was giving…until he pulls out his tonfas.

"M-Mukuro did this in my dream…I-I think and I've no idea about it until this morning! It's the truth!"

Hibari stay silence for a while before coming to a decision.

"So it was that herbivore's doing?" Tsunami mentally let out a sigh of relief. "However, failure to stop it results in your punishment. You'll be bitten."

Hibari pulls her closer to him. He gently shifts her head to the side, exposing her slender neck. He frowns at the mark that Mukuro give to her. It was getting on his nerves.

Hibari presses his lips onto her neck, on the very spot where Mukuro's mark was. He begins his assaults.

"Hibari...mmhhh…" Tsunami bites her lips as she felt Hibari sucking her skin into his mouth. She felt her skin was getting wet by his saliva. She shivers when she felt his tongue roams over her neck.

"It tickles."

This continues for several minutes. Hibari would suck and licks her neck. Tsunami couldn't help but to moan. Hibari finally let go of her neck and smirks. She felt her leg giving in and fell to the ground.

"Now I've disinfected that herbivore's mark with mine." He continued. "Your punishment is over."

Tsunami touches her neck and sighs. If one hickey was bad enough already, what make two of them? And the fact that one was overlapping with the other?

If that is not the worst thing, imagine bumping into your friends when coming out of a room with a man while looking flushed on the face.

That is what Tsunami encounters.

"Tsunami-chan! Hibari-senpai!" Kyoko greets. Hibari nod in acknowledgement. He turns to Tsunami.

"You better win this, Tsunami. Or else you'll be bitten." He said as he walks away, continue his patrol elsewhere.

After Hibari left, Tsunami was being teased by Hana. Asking about what she did with Hibari in the room. She told her there were nothing going on but her blushing cheeks betrayed her. Hana continued to tease her. At least Kyoko was there to stop her.

"Good luck, Tsunami-chan. See you on stage." Kyoko said, hugging her. Hana just give her a pat in the back for luck. Tsunami smiles and hugs back, thanking them for their support.

There were girls from various classes. Some were applying make-up and some were trying out different dresses that were provided. There was a woman holding a clipboard who seems to be the person-in-charge. Tsunami slowly approaches.

"Um…I'm here for the Pageant. My name is Sawada Tsunami, class of 2-A."

The woman looks at her before pointed to the door on the other side of the room. "Your personal stylist is waiting for you, Sawada-san."

Personal stylist? Tsunami tilted her head a little as she made her way to the door. She opens the door and was surprise by the person.

"Lussuria nee-san!"

"Vongola-chan!"

"You are my personal stylist?" Tsunami asks. Lussuria nods.

"Yup…" He looks at his watch. "Oh no! Look at the time, I better get you all prepare!" He pulls Tsunami into a chair and start doing her hair.

After a long silence, Lussuria spoke.

"Vongola-chan, what is that on your neck?"

"Mosquito bite?" She answers.

"Those are hickeys, right?" Lussuria asks. "Am I right?"

Tsunami nods shyly. The Muay Thai expert suddenly squeals in delight.

"Who give it to you? Oh…wait, don't tell me?" He pondered for a while. " Oh, oh! Is it from the boss? When did he do this to you? Did he do it gently or roughly?"

"It's not from Xanxus!"

Lussuria stops and looks at her. "T-they…are from my guardians."

"Oh…Well, let continued doing your make-up, shall we?"

Lussuria looked kind of disappointed when he heard the hickeys were not coming from Xanxus. Why did he think that? It was impossible between her and Xanxus! He hates her so much that he wouldn't wait to kill her! Although Xanxus was treating her better…but that doesn't mean he like her, right?

"Hurry up! Lawn head! Baseball idiot!" Gokudera yelled.

They had just finished their duty at the maid café. Damn that class president! She insists them doing more serving before they can leave. Gokudera initially protests but she uses Tsunami to threaten him. So he and Yamamoto had to stay for another hour to serve those stupid, annoying and noisy women. And when Ryohei came barging in, asking where Tsunami was, they had to work for another hour, include Ryohei, for the damages caused by him. And now, they were late.

"Wait up, octopus head!" Gokudera stopped in his track and turns to Ryohei.

"Shut up! If it weren't for you, we would be there by now."

Ryohei scratches the back of his neck. "I already say I was sorry…"

"Gokudera…" Yamamoto said. Gokudera growled.

"What!"

Yamamoto pointed at a figure from far distance. "Isn't that guy from the Varia?"

The bomber turns his head. His eyes widen.

"That knife-bastard! What the hell is he doing here?" He mutters before starting to follow him.

"Gokudera, where are you going? The Pageant is that way." Yamamoto said.

"You guys can go ahead, I'm following that bastard."

"Maa maa, Gokudera. Maybe he is just enjoying the festival." Yamamoto said. Ryohei nodded his head in agreement.

"You're extremely overreacting, octopus head."

"Use that pea-sized brain of your to think, that guy is too suspicious to be out here just to enjoy the festival. It must have to do with the Princess!"

Gokudera didn't notices the two suddenly have a stern look on their faces when he left them.

"Gokudera, wait up." Yamamoto and Ryohei catches up to him.

"What do you want?"

"We would want to join you, octopus head."

"Three persons are better than one, right?" Yamamoto smiles.

"Tch…All right, but you guys must be quiet, understand?"

"All right!" Yamamoto grins.

"Extremely quiet!"

"What did I say about being quiet?" Gokudera grumbles.

They follow Belphegor through the school yard. It was kind of hard, navigating through the crowd. They even lost sight of him for a while. Fortunately, Yamamoto was able to find him and the trio continued to follow him until he walks into an alley.

"Wonder what is he doing here?" Gokudera mutters to himself as they hide behind the bushes.

"Haha…maybe he waiting for someone?" Yamamoto said.

They wait and wait till they were about to give up when Mammon appears.

"I know it! He is waiting for someone."

Gokudera almost wanted to throw his dynamite at the baseball idol when both of the Varia members turn their head at the bushes. Directly at them!

He mentally let out a breath of relief when they resume their business. He glares at Yamamoto, who silently apologizes.

They raise their eyebrow curiously when Belphegor gives Mammon a gold credit card. The mist Arcobaleno passes him an envelope in return. He then disappears into the mist.

They continued to watch Belphegor open the envelope and put his hand into it. They were shocked when he takes out an underwear from the envelope. Not just any underwear…a woman underwear! He grins at his prize, bringing it close to his face and sniffed it.

Gokudera and Ryohei growled in disgust and looked away while Yamamoto had a feeling that he had seen that underwear before. Who know that the so-called 'Prince' of Varia have this kind of fetish?

Their eyes drifted back when Belphegor took out a bunch of photo. He looks at them before putting them back into the envelope, dropping one on the ground in the process. He turns his head around before putting the envelope into his jacket and walks away. The trio waited for a while before coming out.

"That sick bastard!" Gokudera yelled, clenching his fists.

"Extremely pervert!" The boxer commented. Yamamoto smiles nervously, unsure of what to say after witnessing Belphegor's unique 'hobby'.

"Hmm…" Ryohei looks down as he felt he had stepped on something. It was a photo that Belphegor dropped.

"Did you find something, Senpai?" Yamamoto rushes to his side.

"I think so."

"Then pick it up already." Gokudera growls from the side. Ryohei picks up the photo and looks at it. So do Gokudera and Yamamoto. Their eyes widen in surprise as Gokudera opens his mouth.

"T-this is…"

Tsunami was getting nervous as she peeks behind the curtain. The auditorium was filling with visitors that were looking forward to see the Pageant. There were also two big screens being installed on both side of the stage for the viewers in the back to see. Nana and the kids were sitting in the first row. Kyoko, Hana and the rest of the class were there, sitting in the middle, rooting for her. It was strange that Gokudera and Yamamoto weren't there to support her.

The rest of the Varia was there as well. Xanxus was sitting at the far side of the auditorium, with Squalo and Levi. The whole section of the seats that the Varia was sitting on was empty. Guess that the people were smart enough not to sit near the assassin group.

The lights suddenly dim.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the first Namimori Pageant."

Tsunami blinks. She knows that voice…

"My name is Miura Haru and I'll be your host for today." She bowed.

Haru! What is she doing here?

"Before inviting the contestants to the stage, let introduce the judges." Haru pointed to the three mysterious figures sitting in the front of the stage. She read her cue card.

"First up, we have the chairman of the Chiavarone Family corporation and the man who is ranked as one of the top 20 handsome men in the Mafia-style TV magazine last year." The spotlight shines on Dino. "Let welcome Dino-san!"

Dino-san! Tsunami was sure that it was Reborn's idea to drag Dino into this.

"Hello, my name is Dino. It's an honor to be here." He smiles and waved. There were squeals and cheers coming from the crowd. Most of them were girls.

"Next, the woman who has the world-class of cooking and beauty. She is also Haru's friend and mentor. The master of love, Bianchi-san!"

"The key of winning is love!" Bianchi said, swaying her hair to the side coolly.

Even Bianchi was invited; this isn't going to be well…

"Poison Scorpion, why are you here?" Dino asks from the side.

Bianchi glares at him, taking out her poison cooking. "Do I need a reason to be here?"

"That isn't what I mean…"

Tsunami sweat dropped, worry that a fight is about to break.

"Hahi! That looks dangerous!" Haru said.

"VOOOOOI!" Squalo rose from his seat and yells. "STOP BEHAVING LIKE KIDS!"

Bianchi put down her poison cooking, knowing that she wouldn't want to deal with the sword emperor. His yelling was irritating. Dino mentally thanks him for saving his life.

Hahi! What a turn of events! Haru thought but was interruption by a second scream, which was from Squalo. Levi was pouring wine for Xanxus, who seemed a bit annoyed the swordsman's yelling.

"GIRL! GET ON WITH IT!"

"H-Hai!" Haru look down at her cue card. "There is an update regarding the third judge. Due to personal reason, Dr. Shamal is unable to attend. The judge's role will be given to Mr. Bornset, the top leading fashion designer in Italy."

"Ciaossu! I'm the fashion designer, Mr. Bornset." Reborn introduced himself as the spotlights were directed at him.

"You're so cute in any attire, Reborn!" Bianchi said, dazed. Both Tsunami and Dino have the same startled expression on their faces, especially Tsunami. Well…let just say that she does not care anymore.

"Without further ado, let start the first round which is the talent competition…"

Tsunami was resting in her chair. The first round was pure torture. She had no idea that the first round was for them to perform their best act. She was used to know as Dame-Tsuna in the past. She had no talent at all…expect for cooking and flying in the air in her hyper dying will mode. But she can't possible to cook in front of them or either can she fly around. It will freak them out! Fortunately, Lussuria was able to give her an idea of using Ottavo's fighting techniques, with a couple of long cloth, to dance. And so, she 'dances' her way through into the second round. Out of the fifteen contestants, only five made it, including her.

"Vongola-chan!"

"Coming!" Tsunami stood up and went to Lussuria. She looks at the piece of clothing that the Muay Thai fighter had given her.

"I can't wear this!"

"Why not?"

"This is too revealing!"

Lussuria chuckled. "You didn't go to the beach often?"

Silence was her answer.

"There is always a first time, Vongola-chan." He finishes and pushes the reluctant Decimo into the dressing room. After a while, Tsunami comes out.

"Oh~, you look wonderful, but…" Lussuria frowns, rubbing his chin.

"Ah, I got it!"

Lussuria goes to his purse and bring out a flower.

"I know this will come in handy!" He said as he plucks the flower from its stem. He attached it to the side of her hair.

"There…Perfect! You look beautiful." Lussuria purred as he was satisfied of his work.

"What flower is this?" Tsunami asks. She gently touches the petals.

"It's the flower that will help you win."

"Er…"

"Come on, Vongola-chan. The second event is about to start."

"Now it is time for our second round, which is the swimsuit competition–" The crowd cheers and clapped loudly before Haru would finish her sentence.

"…Well, let's call our contestants right up." Haru said as the lights focus on the stage. One by one, the girls walks out in their swimsuits (or Bikini if you want). Lussuria give a thumb up. Tsunami takes in a deep breath before walking out of the curtains.

To everyone's surprise, Tsunami was wearing a black bikini top and a Hawaiian-style sarong on her waist. She also wore an absolute white hibiscus on the side of her hair. She smiles as she walks around the stage.

Nana squeals and mumbles to herself that her sweet daughter was growing up, bringing out her video camera to film it. Both Fuuta and I-pin was dazzle by her appearance that they were left speechless. Lambo…he was sleeping in his seat.

Xanxus dropped his wine glass as his eyes were glue to the stunning beauty. He never thought that brat would look so sexy in that Hawaii-style outfit. Must be Lussuria's taste. He would have to thank him later.

He glances at Levi, who has a blush on his face and was drooling. Feeling annoyed and disgust, he punches Levi right in the face. He flew and crash in the wall, where he will be spending the entire day there. At least Squalo is normal…he thinks so.

Dino chokes and spits out his drink as he looks at his little sister. Bianchi smiles and nods to herself that Tsunami was getting mature. Reborn stay silent and continued to watch the no-good student of his walks around the stage and stood at the side, along with the rest.

Haru came into view. "That is a wonderful show given by our contestants. Don't you guys agree?"

A loud cheer from the audience answered back.

"Haru think so too…although Haru would like to wear one as well…" Haru suddenly realizes she was hosting. She quickly straightens herself and gives a smile to the audience.

"… We'll now have our third and final round…the final question."

"Each contestant will pick a piece of paper from this bowl and the paper will state the name of our judges." Haru points to the bowl that was placed in the middle. "The judge that you have chosen will ask you your final question that may determine your win or loss."

"And don't forget that you have only thirty seconds to answer." Haru added. "May our contestants go pick up the piece of paper?"

Tsunami was cursing her luck. Of the papers inside the bowl, she had to pick the one that has Reborn's name on it. She stood and watches the other four contestants were being question by Dino and Bianchi. Why was she the only one being question by that sadistic baby!

"And finally, Tsunami-chan from class 2-A!" Haru announced, smiling happily. Tsunami walks to the front of the stage, where Reborn was sitting.

"Mr. Bornset, your question?" Haru asks before winks at Tsunami, wishing her luck.

"If you had to choose between your family and friends, whom will you, choose? And why?" Reborn asks.

Tsunami frowns and glares at the sun Arcobaleno in disguise. What kind of question was that? How could Reborn asks her to choose between family and friends? She can't choose! There was only one answer.

"I won't choose because both are important to me. My family and my friends. They are all my family." She was tempted to exclude her father but changes her mind.

She added. "In times of pain, suffering, the fun and joys…they were always there for me. What I've become today, it was all thank to them. So I 'm proud to say that they are my family!"

The crowd cheers and claps as she bows and walks back to her position. Even the other contestants clap as well. Reborn smirks in his seat.

"Hahi! That's a quite an answer from Tsunami-chan! Now is the…" Haru peeks at her cue card and continues, "Time for the judges to decide who the winner is. Have the judges make a decision yet?"

Dino nods and stands up from his seat, with the envelope in his hands. Out of the sudden, he slips and falls, hitting the table with his face. The audience gasps at the scene. Squalo snickers at Dino's clumsiness.

"Are you alright, Dino-san?" Haru asks, looked down from the stage. Dino slowly stand up on his feet.

"Sorry...I tripped over my foot." The crowd laughs, thinking this as a joke from the judges. But in reality, is not.

Dino gives Haru the envelope and started to head back to his seat. Once again, his clumsiness had taken over. He tripped on his foot and falls the moment he turns his back.

The auditorium was filled with laughter. Dino, who had already, went back to his seat, laughed awkwardly with the crowd to cover his embarrassment.

Tsunami sighs as Dino was useless without his subordinates around. Reborn made a mental note of training him, together with Tsunami. It will be fun to train his loser students!

Both Tsunami and Dino shivers, not knowing why.

"Who do you guys think will be the winner?" Various names came out. Most of them were rooting for Tsunami.

"Haru is getting nervous…" Haru opened the sealed envelope and read it. "The winner of the Namimori Pageant goes to…"

"Ushishishi…Princess, are you here? The prince is here for a chat!" Belphegor said as he scanned through the dressing room. The room was empty.

"Look like she is not here." He mutters. He turns his head as he hears footsteps approaches.

"There you are! knife-bastard!" Gokudera scowled.

"Why are you peasants doing here? Do you know where can I find the Princess?"

"Don't you ever dare talk about her! You bastard!"

"The prince has no idea what you peasants are talking about!"

"Don't you lie!" Gokudera took out a photo from his pocket. It was a photo of Tsunami in her black lace bra and panties, shyly looking at herself in the mirror with her hands behind her back. The photo was taken in a certain angle that highlighted her womanly curves.

"Oh…so will you peasants mind return it to me that is one of the prince favorite picture."

"YOU BASTARD! How dare you stalks and take pictures of Princess!" Gokudera ignored his question.

"That's extremely wrong!" Ryohei said.

"It's wrong to take these kinds of picture and bring them to school." Yamamoto said seriously.

"Ushishishi…so what do you peasants want to do about it? Revolting against the prince?"

"Kufufu…" The four flinched at the creepy laugh.

"It seems that someone is after my sweet Tsunami-chan." Mukuro appears in between them.

"What are you doing here?" Gokudera asks.

"I come to see Tsunami-chan's performance. She is mine after all."

"You! Did you do something to Princess?" Gokudera glare at the illusionist. Yamamoto asks.

"Does it have to do with the mosquito bite?" They look at Yamamoto. "The one on Tsunami's neck…"

"Kufufu…that is correct. That wasn't a mosquito bite, it was a–"

"You! You give Princess a hickey?! HOW DARE YOU!" The bomber clenches his fists in anger.

"So the pineapple peasant had made a move on my Princess..." Belphegor slides his hands into his pocket.

Gokudera reaches for his dynamite. Ryohei clenches his fists and was in his boxing stance. Yamamoto realizes he did not bring his sword; he looks around and grabs a broom from the side.

"Let end this, right here right now!" Gokudera said.

"I would like to see you try." Mukuro chuckled as he gripped his trident into a fighting stance.

"…Sawada Tsunami!"

Cheers and applauses filled the auditorium. Tsunami was stunned. She didn't expect to win at all.

"Your answer really reflects your determination and your belief. It seem like you are ready to take over and lead the Vongola family." Reborn said.

"I'm not taking over–" A tremble shook the stage.

"Hahi! What was that?" Haru asks. Before anyone could say anything, the wall behind Tsunami suddenly explodes. Dust and smoke filled the whole stage.

"HIIEEE! What is going on?" Tsunami saw five figures emerged from the smoke. Three on her left, one on the right and one in the middle. And when the smoke is settled, her eyes widen in shock.

"Yamamoto, Gokudera-kun and Onii-chan?!" She looks at the other side. "Mukuro and Belphegor?!"

"Princess, stay back!" Gokudera lights up his dynamite and throw them out. The dynamite ignited and propels toward Belphegor and Mukuro.

Mukuro smirks as he transforms into mist, making the rocket bombs useless as they passes through him. Belphegor throw his knifes to counter the rocket bombs but he misses one.

"VOOOI!' The dynamite was sliced off into two. Squalo appears in front of Belphegor, his sword points to Gokudera.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing? Attacking one of the Varia!"

"None of your business!" Gokudera said, taking out his dynamite.

"Then prepare to die, trash!" Squalo lunged to Gokudera, but was blocked by Yamamoto.

"Maa maa, calm down, Squalo. We just want to settle something with him, that all."

Squalo respond by swing his sword at him, Yamamoto tried to block but his broomstick get split into two.

"Not good!" Yamamoto said as he looked at the broken broomstick.

"MAXIMUM CANNON!"

Ryohei releases his punch, effectively made Squalo jumps out from his path.

"Thank a lot, Senpai." Yamamoto said.

"Oi! Where is your sword, baseball idiot?"

"Haha…I forget to bring it!"

"Baseball idiot…" The bomber curses under his breath.

"Hahi, it's so dangerous." Haru speak through the microphone as she watches from the judges table. Haru felt a tug on her dress and she looks down.

"Mr. Bornset! Is this for me?" Haru said as a new set of cue cards were in her hand. She took a glimpse at it and smile. "I understand!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please do not be alarm by this sudden event." Haru announced as the fight was still going on behind her. "This is an after-show event for you audience to enjoy. Warning: Those who are sixty and above or those who had heart problems are not advisable to watch the ongoing program. Thank you!"

The audience was getting pumped up as they were engaged into it. First the Pageant, and now this!

"Go, Yamamoto!" The girls scream. "Go, Gokudera!"

"That long-hair is so badass!" A boy said.

They all thought was a play. Tsunami thought as she watches from the sideline.

"Squalo, are you hurt?" Lussuria said, suddenly appears out of nowhere.

"VOOOI! Where the hell have you been?"

"I come to help Vongola-chan for the Pageant" He answers.

"Whatever! If they want to fight, we will give..." Squalo was being cut-off as a shoe was thrown and hit him on the head.

"Bastard!" He curses at the person, who was none another than Xanxus.

"Shut up!" Xanxus said as he walks to the front of the stage. Lussuria was holding Squalo back.

"The boss is pissed." Belphegor snickers.

"You scum are being too noisy!" Xanxus pulls out his pistols. The four immediately surrounds Tsunami to protect her.

"Listen, we are only working together to protect the Princess. I will settle with you later!" Gokudera said.

"Kufufu…I agree, consider this as a truce."

"What is with this ruckus?" Hibari appeared from the hole in the wall. "I was just patrolling this area when I notice this hole on the wall," He points his thumb at the hole behind him. "And I find you guys here."

Hibari caught Tsunami's eyes and smirks at her. Gokudera shield her from his view, growling at him.

"Now…" He brings out his tonfas and glance at both sides. "…who should I bite first?"

"Perhaps..." Hibari shifted his attention to Mukuro. "...you?"

"Kufufu...maybe we should finish our fight?"

Dino sense the situation was getting out of control, rushes up to the stage. "Kyoya, calm down!"

"It's a surprise to see you here, Bucking Horse. Maybe I should bite you to death first."

"Wait a minute, Kyoya...no choice then. If my student wants a fight, as the tutor I can't refuse." Dino take out his whip.

"Why is everyone gearing up to fight?!" Tsunami whines. Dino uses his whip to attack but Belphegor got hit instead and his envelope got ripped in the process. Dozens of photo were being scatter on the stage.

"What is this?" Squalo pick up the photo. So does the rest. Squalo's face was as red as a tomato. Xanxus had his eyes glued at the photo. Mukuro blinks a few times before looking at Tsunami and then the photo. Hibari had a light blush on his face. Gokudera, Yamamoto and Ryohei have the same expression on their faces.

"Oh my!" Lussuria gasps.

"What is everyone looking at?"

Feeling curious, Tsunami pick up the photo that is next to her and looks at it. She blinks and blinks. She shrieks. It was a photo of her taking a bath this morning.

"What is this?" Tsunami looks at the rest of the photos. They were all picture of her spending her life daily.

"Look like you have a stalker, Dame-Tsunami." Reborn suddenly appears beside her.

"Reborn!" She cried out.

"Don't worry; they will take care of the rest." Reborn pointed out. Tsunami looks onto the stage.

Xanxus had his fingers on the trigger. Squalo sharpen his blade. Hibari grips on his tonfas tightly. Mukuro chuckled evilly, mist flame surround his right eyes. Ryohei punches the wall. Yamamoto shot a deadly glare. Gokudera pulls out as many dynamite as his hands can take.

Their hearts are as one!

Feeling everyone want him dead, Belphegor put his hand in the air and move back slowly, step by step. Then suddenly, a piece of cloth dropped from his jacket.

"I-Is that my underwear?" Tsunami said, her trembling finger pointed.

That was the last straw! Gokudera lights up his dynamite. He will start the first attack.

"Explode! You pervert…" Gokudera was about to throw his dynamite at the pervert when he heard her voice.

"Tsunami! Are you alright?"

"I'm alright, Bianchi!" Gokudera slowly turns his head.

"Aneki! Where were you hiding all this time?" Gokudera turn pale and collapses. The already ignited dynamite was on the floor.

She was here this whole time! Tsunami sighs at the scene before she notices the dynamite that the bomber had dropped.

"HIIEE! Someone help us!" Tsunami shouted, hoping someone would help. Apparently, her wish was granted.

"Lambo-san will help, too!" Lambo said in his sleep as he unknowingly throws his grenades toward the stage.

"Lambo, you idiot!" That was Tsunami's last words as screams, explosions and applauses were heard from the auditorium.
