Chapter 3
Gokudera's PoV
That idiot Hibari! And just as Juudaime told him not to act conspicuous!
I turned to look at Juudaime who's in the stupid pineapple-hair girl's body. He looked pale… or it's probably because the stupid girl is naturally pale, "Juudaime, do you want me to find that bastard for you?"
"Mukuro…"
I looked at Juudaime in confusion as I undoubtedly heard him mention pineapple head, "What about the pineapple head?" I looked around in caution. If that bastard is around then it's obvious he's looking for trouble! And Juudaime has a lot on his plate already!
"He's in my head."
I twist my own head so fast I thought my brain rattled… rather… the turf-top's brain.
…if he has a brain…
"W-what?! What do you mean—"
"Oniichan, what do you think happened here?" I felt a tug on my arm and turned to my side to look at Kyoko. Tch. I forgot they're still here. I immediately tried to think of an answer. I couldn't tell her that Juudaime did this. Especially that it really wasn't Juudaime but that idiot, Hibari.
"It seems like Sawada did this." The stupid woman-Kurokawa—explained. I saw Juudaime stiffen.
"What? No way! Tsuna-kun isn't the type to get in trouble like this!" I huffed in approval. At least not all women are stupid.
"That's not what that guy told me." Kurokawa tilted her head to the student she just asked.
I felt a slight annoyance at hearing that. I couldn't let this stupid woman ruin Juudaime's reputation!
"OI! JUU-GAH!" The jab on my side interrupted me and I glared at turf-top, who was the obvious culprit. And just seeing the baseball freak's face instead irritated me even more.
"TEME! What do you think are you doing?!" I whispered before facing him to keep the others from hearing.
"Don't worry octopus head." Now I'm freaking worried, "I got this."
"Wait! You idiot-"
"Maaaa… maaaa… Sawa-Tsuna is an EX- a strong MAN! He is E-EX-totally capable of this!" And I watched as turf top finished this with a pathetic thumbs-up.
Everyone was silent and this time I couldn't control myself anymore.
"YOU IDIOT!" I whacked him in the head just to show my annoyance.
"OI! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" Of course came the usual stupid response of turf-top.
Before I could even answer I felt someone immediately hold me back, "Oniichan! You can't hit Yamamoto-kun like that!"
"You guys are really acting strange. Did all of you hit your head or something?" I want to tell Kurokawa to keep her mouth shut. This girl never stops sticking her nose in other people's businesses.
"S-shut up!"
We quickly turned to Juudaime and honestly… I was surprised. But then again…
…as expected of Juudaime!
"C-Chrome-chan!" Kyoko exclaimed looking at Juudaime in disapproval. I wanted to defend Juudaime but I know he could handle himself.
"E-eh? I'm-I'm so sorry! I-I wasn't talking to Kuro-Hana-chan!"Juudaime's face quickly turned red and Iwanted to yell at them for embarrassing Juudaime! "I-it was…-"
And then suddenly, Juudaime paused almost as if he was listening to someone. And before I knew it his face grew redder and he suddenly bursts out, "UWAAH! SHUT UP ALREADY!" And ran off.
"Juudaime-!" That was an accidental slip. I'm sorry Juudaime.
Fortunately, none of the idiots heard what I said since they were too shock at what just happened.
"C-Chrome-chan sure is lively today." Sasagawa's sister commented. Behind her I could see Chrome look at the direction Juudaime left with a mysterious stare. I just shook my head in exasperation before finally deciding to run after Juudaime.
"A-arre? Oniichan?"
"What the? Is there something between those two?
"O-OI! O-Octo- I mean- GWAAH! THIS IS CONFUSING!"
I ignored them and kept running after Juudaime, "Juudaime! Wait!" He must've heard me as he slowed to a stop. I was immediately on his side and quickly accomplished my duty as his right hand man.
"Just say the word Juudaime and I'll make sure they'll never say a thing."
"W-what? No Onii- Gokudera-kun! That's-" Juudaime paused again just like before. I frowned in confusion before realization struck me.
"OI! MUKURO!" I really wanna kill him, "YOU BASTARD!"
Juudaime squeaked in surprise as I unintentionally screamed at his face, "AH! Juudaime I'm so sorry for yelling at you!" I bowed to show how apologetic I was. Though the fact that Mukuro was bothering Juudaime irritated me and Juudaime must've have seen it in my face because he muttered something about how I didn't really look sorry.
Crap…
"G-Gokudera-kun… it's fine! Please stop hitting your head on the ground!"
As expected of Juudaime! Always so kind!
"Juudaime I'm very sorry for yelling at you and causing you so much trouble!"
"It's fine! Now please stand up! People are staring."
Tch. Like I care what those people think. But Juudaime's orders are absolute so I did what I was told. I frowned as I watched Juudaime's- well, the stupid girl's face- contort into an uncomfortable look. I didn't have to guess who the sole reason was, "Juudaime, is that bastard bothering you?!"
"Ah…" Juudaime confirmed while rubbing his head, "But don't worry about it. He's not doing anything harmful."
"Even so…" I can't help but feel frustrated for not being able to be of use to Juudaime. Damn that connection between those two. And just as I was about to suggest a special visit to the Vindice's prison, I heard someone calling for the turftop.
"Sasagawa-sempai!"
I wanted to ignore whoever the idiot was. Seriously seeking out for an idiot like turf-top must be twice as stupid as the baseball freak.
Tch. Muscle heads.
"Gokudera-kun…" I heard Juudaime say between pressed lips.
Reluctantly I turned around, "What is it? Hurry up, you're wasting my time!"
"Goku-I mean Sasagawa-san!" I heard Juudaime say in warning.
Oh yeah.
"Extreme."
The student, probably in the same year as me, was looking at me with wide eyes, "Are you okay, sempai? You're acting a little grouchy."
And just as I thought of a snappy comeback to make the student disappear for good, I felt Juudaime grab me by the arm and whisper, "Gokudera-kun, please we have to stick to our roles. You might ruin oniisan's reputation if you keep acting like that, so please!"
Kuso. Juudaime you don't have to beg. I understand.
"HAHA!" I grinned as stupidly as possible, knowing that this is what the turf-top is good at, "I'm fine… extreme! What do you need…extreme?"
"Uhm…" The kid looked like he didn't want to continue the conversation anymore. Good, the sooner I get to talk to Juudaime again, "It's about the club practice today-"
"Club practice is canceled for today..." I grumbled, before immediately trying to grin, "…extreme."
"Ehh?! No way! Sempai you're too EXTREME to cancel practice, remember?" The shock of cancelling a stupid practice seemed to have awakened something in that kid. Damn, I'm going nowhere!
"Could it be… you also forgot… the EXTREME plan as well?"
"W…what extreme plan?"
"Not extreme… it's EXTREME!"
The hell!? There's no difference at all!
"Come on Sempai, we still need to continue the EXTREME morning practice!" The annoying kid started dragging me off and I turned to Juudaime, "Juudaime! I'll be back soon!"
"A..ah…"
"Juudaime?" The kid spoke up, "Why are you talking like that octopus head, sempai?"
Damn that turf-top! Just what is he sharing to these brats?
Finally we reached the turf-top's clubroom and headed inside. I raised my eyebrow, feeling a little impressed as I watch the boxing team train…extremely.
"Ah Captain!" One of the sweaty teammate came down the ring and grin at me… he was as tall as the baseball freak, "You must've been doing some EXTREME training to be this EXTREMELY late."
"Ah…" Even these idiots gained the turf-top's language.
"Of course, it's fine. You're the captain after all!" He laughed before turning at the kid beside me, "Ren must've dragged you here again, huh? Probably want to ask more EXTREME advices."
I watched the kid turn red, "Don't underestimate me!"
"I wasn't though." The older one said before leaning at me, "Even for a kid with a small body who obviously can't withstand boxing, he has that EXTREME spirit, huh?"
Just as I was about to give my own comment (which wasn't good), the kid bursts, "SHUT UP! I know I can do it to the EXTREME! After all, that guy, Sawada Tsunayoshi, right? He's no good-"
"OI-!"
"-but he managed to box with Sasagawa-sempai and impress him!" The kid looked at me with those hopeful eyes, "If Dame-Tsuna can do it… then so can I!"
I blinked for a moment before putting a hand on the kid's head… and clutched it painfully, "Teme… don't call Juudaime that."
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Let go-"
"Juu-Sawada is…" I tried to think what that turftop would say.
"…an EXTREME guy. We know already." The taller guy said with an exasperated smile, "You already told us that a couple of times. You don't see anything in him, but that's why he's so EXTREME."
Leave it to turf-top to make an insult sound like a comment. Tch.
"I want sempai to see me that way as well! Someday! I'll impress you sempai- and become even better than Dame-Tsuna!"
"Teme…" All this for just boxing? That turf-top influences the wrong things… but…
"So how's the EXTREME plan going?" The tall guy asked, "The plan where you're trying to recruit Sawada in the boxing club?"
…but, I respect the idiot. For his EXTREMEness and for using Juudaime to inspire more muscle heads like him. His resolve is no different like mine. And I guess, that idiot can actually use his brain once in awhile.
"It's… it's EXTREMELY doing well… but I don't think his right-hand man would approve." I smirked.
"Right hand man?" He said with a raised brow, "Oh! You mean that octopus head?"
I take back what I said. An idiot will always be an idiot.
"Well anyway, about today's EXTREME training menu-"
"I have to EXTREMELY leave to take care of an EXTREMELY important business right now." I said as I turned away from the idiots. Screw turf-top's reputation. I can't stand being in the same roof as them. And to think I respected them for a second there… well I-
"What… the?" I stopped by the exit of the club room and stare at the some trees from afar. I quickly ran off, ignoring the calls of the muscle heads. For a moment there, I thought I saw something black hiding behind those bushes.
'Maybe it's Reborn-san…'
I cautiously scanned the trees and bushes and found nothing. Reborn-san wouldn't hide from us though. Or maybe I was imagining things.
But… I can't seem to shake this uncomfortable feeling.
I need to find Juudaime.
Just as I was about to leave to look for him, I noticed a piece of paper lying on the ground nearby. It was ripped and crumpled and I knelt down to pick it up.
"This is…?" I tried to smooth it out, and immediately my eyes grew wide as I saw the Mafia mark on the top and the Italian words that was written messily below.
Take out the Tenth.
"Juudaime…" I looked up the school building, "Juudaime's in danger!"
