AO3

Last Time:

Walking towards a box filled with the wooden swords, ignoring when the Kendo club members offered her one, she continued, "You challenged me saying that the winner gets to have Sasagawa Kyoko, haven't you," she didn't even glance at armor, something in her just screamed 'No', and while this feeling rarely appeared, she still learned not to ignore it, "And I agreed saying that I will ensure you won't get close to Kyoko again, that I won't allow you to do so," Picking a shinai, she tested her grip, and swung the sword a few times, not even looking at Moshida, "So Moshida-senpai," after deciding that the one she picked is the best suited for her, she headed towards the kendo captain, "I won't allow a bastard like you, who treats girls like toys, to lay your hands on my friend," her eyes shone sunset orange for a split second, and the sight of blazing golden eyes just made the upperclassman want to cower in fear, "So you better be ready," she glanced at Kyoko, who was clutching her hand to her chest, looking nervous, but once she looked into Tsuna's eyes, she felt herself relax, then at Hana, who was smirking proudly, turning her gaze back to the male, "Because I'll make sure that you'll think more than once when you decide to play with a woman."

[Chapter Three.]

At this, the whole gym fell into silence, all females staring at the brunette in awe, while some makes stared at her with respect.

This silence was broken when her classmates started cheering, "You can do it Sawada!"

But silence fell upon once more when the door of the gym was opened, and Hibari walked in, Kusakabe trailing after him.

Almost all of the students stare at the prefect in shock, Why is he here?! They all thought.

Kusakabe felt like sweat-dropping, they're all quite the expressive bunch, but he kept his face straight, "To make sure that there won't be any favoritism in the match, I will be playing the part of the judge."

Moshida felt his soul leave his body, there is no chance that he will win anymore, first the Sawada Brat didn't use the tampered equipment, and now the judge, who was a kendo member on his captain side, will not be able to aid him.

Kyouya smirked at this, while Kusakabe went and took his position.

"Start."

And let's just say that Moshida never thought of treating any girls like toys.

Not when someone like Sawada Tsunahime existed.

Especially when Sawada Tsunahime existed.

And let's not forget the amusing and priceless expressions almost all the student body wore when they found out the second strongest person in their school was in fact a female.

At this very moment, Kurokawa Hana, Hibari Kyouya, even Kusakabe Tetsuya and Sasagawa Kyoko were more than satisfied by this result.

Reborn, who watched the whole scene, Tsuna's speech, Kyouya's entrance, and finally, Tsuna wiping the floor with that Moshida person.

He couldn't help but feel pride blooming in him; he didn't even start tutoring the female yet too!

Then he glanced at the person beside him, who was also watching the whole thing too.

"What do you think?" Reborn asked.

The other person just made a 'Tch' sound and turned away, "I'll do what you asked of me, Reborn-san," then they added before leaving, "But don't expect me to approve of the heir," leaving a smirking Reborn.

"I'll be waiting then," turning his attention back to his student, who was being hugged by Sasagawa Kyoko while Kurokawa Hana patted her back, Kyoko having a bright smile with shinning eyes, even Hana having a small soft smile, eyes gazing gently at the two girls, whiles Tsuna, who was in the grasp of the blonde, was blushing madly, stuttering and patting Kyoko's back awkwardly, gazing at Hana, face desperate for help while Hana just shook her head and mouthed to her: "You're on your own." He never saw a betrayed expression on the brunette face before, but then, he still had all the time before he was able to see every face the brunette could make.

His gaze met hers for a moment, she stilled for a moment, before smiling in his direct and mouthing: "I won, Reborn," then she returned her attention to her friends, this time with a mild blush, and a smile.

He continued smirking, 'Yes, yes you did.'

And he didn't even have to shoot her with a dying will bullet, 'I guess I have to wait until tomorrow to use the bullet,' he thought, which was completely fine with him.

"We have a new transfer student, who was studying overseas in Italy," The homeroom teacher introduced, "His name is Gokudera Hayato."

The new student, is a silver haired teen with emerald green eyes, was scowling. The male was wearing chains around his neck and various silver rings on his fingers. His school shirt was left open and untucked, showing a green shirt he was wearing underneath. In whole, the male's aura screamed 'Delinquent!'.

Tsuna hummed at the sight of the teenager, 'Italy huh...' she thought, glancing around the classroom, watching how some girls were giggling and gushing about his looks between themselves, 'Reborn's homeland...'

"Kyouya won't like him," she mumbled to herself, watching how Hana glared at the new student while Kyoko just sat quietly, smiling, she's probably daydreaming about something....

Returning her gaze back to the transfer student, who in turn caught her gaze and his scowl appeared to become deeper, making the girl sweat-dropped, 'Did I do anything wrong?'

She glanced back at Hana, who caught the male staring at her friend, who turned to her and raised an eyebrow, "You know him?" She whispered.

"No," she whispered back and went back to staring at the boy, "But I feel like Reborn does..." She thought out loud.

"Reborn? As in your so called tutor?" Hana asked, startling the brunette.

"A-ah!" Tsuna's eyes widened, then she chuckled nervous, "D-did I say Reborn?! You must have misheard me," she rambled, glancing at the silver head, making sure he hasn't done anything yet while the teacher was conversing with him.

Hana stared blankly at the future mafia boss, not that she knew that yet, "Listen here Tsuna, I'm not dumb, there is no way a baby is your tutor."

Tsuna sweat-dropped, "But Reborn is really my tutor, my...father hired him," she said.

"Then your father is crazy," Hana grunted.

'You have no idea how right you are,' Tsuna thought.

Before Hana could add anything else, their attention went back to the transfer, who started stalking towards her, ignoring the confused gazes of the students and the calls of their homeroom teacher, once he reached her desk, he kicked it with enough force to make the seated girl fall.

This was met by silence, as everyone was shocked by his action, when Hana and Kyoko broke out of their state, Kyoko rushed to the brunette on the ground, while Hana stood in front of Tsuna, shouting, "What's your deal!?"

Tsuna, still shocked, stared dumbfounded at the silver haired teen, who just glared at Hana, then once more turned his glare to Tsuna before walking to his seat.

(Inside her, she felt her heart twist at the anger and hatred he has towards her, which didn't make sense in her opinion, she never met this guy before, so why did his feelings towards her have this impact on her?)

At lunch, Tsuna excused herself from Hana and Kyoko, saying that she needed to check with Kyouya regarding something.

Kyoko giggled, thinking that the brunette just wanted to spend time with her 'Boyfriend', while Hana thought that the girl was going to ask the prefect regarding the new student, which technically she was right.

However that didn't happen, since on the way to the disciplinary office, she caught sight of Gokudera Hayato smoking in the courtyard.

At this, Tsuna stalked towards the male, telling herself that she will visit her childhood friend after this.

Reaching the male, who has leaning on a wall; gaze up on the sky, while in his hand laid a cigarette in between his thumb and index finger.

Frowning at this sight, she called out for the teen, "Gokudera Hayato, smoking is forbidden in our school."

The said teen didn't even flinch, he just turned to her and made a 'Tsk' sound while grumbling, "How annoying."

She felt her eyebrows twitch in annoyance, "So I'm the annoying one now?" She asked, surprising the smoking teen slightly, him not expecting her to talk back to him, "How about telling what exactly did I do that annoys you?"

Gokudera glared at the brunette, who in return just raised an eyebrow, "So?" She asked.

"Your existence is annoying," he replied, "If a person like you becomes the tenth generation boss, the Vongola famiglia will be finished."

Tsuna narrowed her eyes at this, "So you're in the Mafia, I take it?"

Ignoring her question, the male continued, "I refuse to accept it! I'm the one who's fit to be the tenth!!"

Tsuna felt her eyes widen a bit, 'But how is that even possible? Isn't it about blood relations?'

"I've watched your kendo match, it's a waste of time to further evaluate someone like you," Tsuna sweat-dropped while the silver head male continued with his dialogue, the male put his hands into his pocket, taking out something slowly, making Tsuna unable to distinguish the object, "You're a nuisance... Die right here!"

And before Tsuna even knew it, the male took out the objects, which turned out to be dynamites and lit them, then threw them at the female.

Tsuna's eyes widened once more when she saw the dynamites headed towards her (How the hell did he sneak dynamites into the school??? If Kyouya found out about this, Gokudera-san will be bitten to death.) but before they exploded, a gunshot was heard, and the next thing shown were the dynamites on the ground, diffused.

Both Tsuna and Gokudera snapped their heads towards the direction the bullet came from.

There sat Reborn, on a tree branch, a gun in hand, smoking coming from it, while Leon was on the fedora.

Reborn sat, smirking at the pair, "Ciaossu!"

""Reborn!"" Both the teens exclaimed, making Gokudera glanced in annoyance at the female.

The female brunette narrowed her eyes, "Reborn," she called out, "Did you call him over here or something?"

Reborn tilted his fedora to cover his eyes, to hide the mischievous glint in his eyes, while the smirk didn't even twitch, still sat there perfectly on his small. (How a smirk on a baby face looked perfect, Tsuna didn't know, so she just let it go, thinking it's just a Reborn thing.), "How smart of you, Baka-Tsuna," he said, making Tsuna sweat drop once more, "Yes, I hired him from Italy."

Glancing at the silver haired boy, who was also look at her in annoyance, she then asked, "And you two know each other....?"

Gokudera just tsked, turning his head away from her while mumbling under his breath about 'Annoying Bitches who can't keep their noses out of his business' making Tsuna just sigh at his reaction, then turned to Reborn, waiting for an answer.

"His older sister is my lover."

'Wait what?'

Tsuna did not expect this coming at all.

'How does a baby-...' her gaze fell on the yellow pacifier that Reborn is wearing, 'Oh yeah... He's an Arcobaleno...'

After the new information was registered into her mind, she nodded solemnly, smiling sympathetically when she saw the Italian teen shiver at the mention of his sister.

"It must have been hard on you, Gokudera-kun, I bet any lover that Reborn has is as much as crazy as him," she said, making Gokudera's lips twitch a bit in amusement, before he caught himself and scowled again, "None of your business Brat," he grunted, biting into the end of his cigarette.

Tsuna raised an eyebrow at the 'Brat', 'At least it went up from nuisance and bitch to brat... Probably because of my comment regarding his sister.' Tsuna had no idea how right she was.

Reborn watched their interaction in interest, before glancing to the roof top of the school, where a certain Skylark was, leaning on the fence while watching the scene.

"Reborn," Tsuna said, "You said you... 'hired' him... What did you hire him for?"

'Baka-Tsuna is quite sharp, isn't she?'

"I'm sure you will figure that out soon, Baka-Tsuna," Reborn replied innocently, making Tsuna shiver at his tone of voice, 'Creepy...'

Reborn narrowed his eyes at her for a second, as if he heard her thought, before turning his attention to Gokudera, "Well? Aren't you going to do your job?"

Tsuna tensed up when she saw how Gokudera's expression became dark, "Of course, Reborn-san."

Turning towards the Vongola heir, in a moment he took out a handful of dynamites and lit then using the cigarette.

Tsuna jumped back when the explosive objects were thrown at her. Watching the explosion destroying the ground where she stood previous.

"That's a lot of explosives," Tsuna remarked.

Reborn grinned from his place, "Gokudera Hayato, also known has Smoking Bomb Hayato, he's said to be a human explosive device that conceals dynamites all over his body."

"How is that even possible?" She grumbled to herself.

The said silver haired male ignored the conversation as he got even more dynamites, "Die!" And then threw them on the brunette once more.

Turning around and escaping, Tsuna can hear the explosions happening behind her. She clinched her jaw as she saw a wall blocking her escape.

Glancing behind her, she saw the transfer student standing there, "This is it," he said.

Clinching her fists, Tsuna glanced around, then at the dynamites headed towards her, 'Is this really it?' she glanced at the eyes of her 'opponent', the anger in his eyes, anger at her, anger at the situation, anger at himself, anger at the world.

'How unfortunate...' she thought, 'He could grow into something more, and... I might not even see that happen,' she could feel her heart twist in sadness for the boy, but then felt a pair of eyes on her, glancing at where they were, she saw her cloud on the roof, 'Oh...' her eyes softened, 'I wonder, how Kyouya would take it if I die,' she flashed her love interest a small, gentle smile, she saw a flash of fear and she could see him leaning forward, about to jump and interfere when Reborn spoke, "Fight with your dying will."

Bang.

One moment Tsuna was cornered, the other moment you can see her defusing the dynamites in her undergarments (A pair of boxers and a sports bra).

Gokudera stared, shocked as the female darted from a place to another, defusing the dynamites that he threw.

The sight annoyed him, he started sweating from frustration, gritting his teeth, he got out even more dynamites, "Double Bomb!"

Tsuna just jumped and continued the defusing.

Getting ticked off and starting to panic, Gokudera filled his arms with lit explosives and threw them, before noticing one falling which made him hesitate, leading to all the other dynamites to fall.

He watched the scene with wide eyes, before it came to him, "Shit!" He tried defusing the bombs but they were too much for him, closing his eyes, feeling a swell of anger and regret grown in him, 'The end of me...'

When a yell of “Defuse!” was heard.

He opened his eyes, watching the figure of the brunette defusing the dynamites near him, and by turn, saving his life.

He stared in shock, as the Decima candidate snapped out of whatever state she was in.

He watched as she glanced around her surroundings. He watched as she looked at all his defused weapons. He watched as she slightly shivered before she looked down at herself and seeing her face flush at the state she was in. He watched as she glared at Reborn in frustration and annoyance. He watched as she glanced at the rooftop, where apparently another person was. He watched as she turned towards him with a worried expression on her face, calling out for his name, "Gokudera-kun? Are you alright?'

And that's when he snapped out of his shocked state.

And in less than a second, he got on his knees and hands, exclaimed out loudly, "I was mistaken!!! You're the one who is fit to be the boss!!!" Before looking up at Tsuna, "Jyuudaime! I will follow you to the end of the world!"

'Jyuudaime' stared blankly at the sight of the previously angry male, then turned towards her tutor, "What going on?"

The hit-man grinned, "The loser serves as a subordinate, that's a rule in the mafia."

Without even any hesitation, Tsuna replied, "No," making Gokudera freeze, and feel his heart twist, "W-why?" He asked.

Turning back to the male, she crouched down and offered a hand, "Well, first of all, I don't want you to bow to me."

Gokudera stared at her hand, and when she saw he hasn't moved yet, she sighed, "Gokudera-kun, please sit up, I would love to talk to you on equal grounds," at this, the male's mind came back from any thoughts he was having, and took her hand hesitantly, making her smile softly at him, helping him sit up.

"See, it wasn't hard, now I can talk to you as equals," she said, making Gokudera smile a small smile back at her.

"Now," she began, "My second reason is because, I don't want subordinates, I don't want to be a mafia boss either."

Gokudera stared at the female incredulously, "What?"

"I... I actually don't want to be a boss, I want to live a peaceful life..." Tsuna said, sheepishly.

"The-then! I'll be your follower! Even if you don't want to be a boss, I'll still follow you!" Gokudera insisted.

"But I don't want you to follow me," Tsuna frowned, before brightening up a bit, "How about you become my friend instead?"

"Frie-friend?!" He spluttered.

"Yeah!" The female nodded.

"Then... I'll be your best friend, Jyuudaime!" Gokudera exclaimed.

"Don't call me Jyuudaime," Tsuna said, "Friends call each other by their names, call me Tsuna or Tsunahime.

"B-but I can't! That's disrespectful!" Gokudera replied, eyes filled with disbelief.

"Please, Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna said, clasping her hands together with Gokudera's hand in between.

This gesture made the silver head flush in embarrassment, not used to this kind of contact, "I-I-I'll call you Hime-sama!" He exclaimed, making Tsuna brighter up, before he added hesitantly, "If... You call me Hayato..."

Smiling brightly, Tsuna said, "Of course, Hayato-kun! But you can drop the 'Sama', we are friends, there is no need for honorifics!"

"Absolutely not!" Hayato said, "If I am not to call you 'Jyuudaime' then Hime-sama it is!" Making Tsuna sweat-drop and agree in defeat.

Reborn hummed in satisfaction at the interaction of his student and her newly made friend.

'The outcome is better than I expected.' the number one hit-man thought, before turning his attention to Hibari, who dropped from the rooftop, and stalked towards the pair of first years.

He watches as the cloud dropped his jacket of his half naked student.

Gokudera looked up from his friend to the older teen who dropped his jacket on his 'Hime-sama'.

Then he glanced at the roof to see no one was there anymore, 'He's probably the one who was watching the fight.' "Who are you?" He scowled.

The Raven just looked at him blankly before turning to Tsuna and said, "Your herbivore companions are probably searching for you," before turning away and left.

Leaving back and fuming Hayato, who started cursing until his breath, but stopped when he felt a hand lay on his shoulder, "Please calm down, Kyouya doesn't mean anything bad, he just doesn't... Socialize with people." He heard Tsuna say.

"Who is he, Hime-sama?" Hayato asked, "He was also watching the fight from the rooftop, and just now he mention 'Herbivore companions'..."

"Hibari was probably talking about us," a feminine voice said.

Both Tsuna and Hayato turned to the source of the voice, seeing Hana and Kyoko.

Hana raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you say that you were gonna talk to Hibari and then come back to us?" Hayato matched her voice to the person who just spoke.

"Ah," Tsuna spoke, face palming, "Something came up and I got sidetracked..."

"And this is related to you being half naked?" Hana asked, amused, before glancing at the transfer student, "And since when did he become your friend?"

Hayato stared blankly at the dark haired girl, and the blonde one behind the taller girl, watching the scene quietly with worry in her eyes, before connecting them to the girls who were with his Hime-sama in the morning, "You're the two who were helping Hime-sama this morning!" He brightened up.

Hana stared blankly before sighing and turning her attention at the brunette, who was wrapping herself in the black jacket that Hana saw the prefect wearing before, "Well?"

Tsuna glanced at the girls, both worried for their friend, before smiling sheepishly, "Someone was throwing explosives, one was thrown at Hayato-kun and I saved him which caused my clothes to get damaged..." She trailed off, 'And this all true,' the brunette thought, not even having to lie, but just not telling the whole story.

"And Hibari didn't do anything?" Hana questioned, not entirely believing everything said.

Tsuna shook her head, "He knew I could handle it, so he didn't interfere."

Hana sighed, "Ok, fine, whatever," giving up on the topic, "I'll just have to start accepting everything happening around you," this made Tsuna smile sheepishly, while Kyoko giggled lightly.

Speaking of Kyoko, the moment Hana gave up, she rushed to Tsuna, hugging the brunette, "You weren't hurt from the explosion, right?"

This made Hayato snap to Tsuna, checking for any injuries, "Hime-sama! Shall I take you to the hospital?!"

Tsuna shook her head briskly, "No, no, I'm completely fine, no injuries and no hospital!" She said, patting Kyoko's back and one of Hayato's arms gently in reassurance.

At the reassurance, Kyoko and Hayato relaxed, while Hana watched the scene, making sure that the transfer student isn't going to harm her friends, but by the look on the emerald eyed male, he wasn't planning on hurting them.

"Gokudera Hayato," Hana called out, having the attention of all the three teens, "Since you're new here you wouldn't know everything yet, and normally I wouldn't bother with informing the new students, but since you became friends with Tsuna, I'll inform you."

The silver haired boy nodded, "What is there to know?"

"This school has a leader, Hibari Kyouya, Tsuna's childhood friend, this is a known fact, and Hibari is known for beating up whoever disturbs the peace of not only our school but the peace of whole of Namimori, so it is best to avoid getting into fights with anyone and doing anything considered illegal."

Hayato scowled at that, "Is he strong?"

"He is the strongest in Namimori and everyone is afraid of him, and by everyone, it's literally everyone in Namimori. Many avoid going against him and the moment he is nearby, they shut up and avoid crowding," Hana replied.

Rolling his eyes at this, Hayato muttered, "Sounds like an asshole," making Hana smirk, Kyoko giggle, and Tsuna chuckle softly, all in amusement.

"There is actually a rumor of some sort going on, as it hasn't been confirmed yet whether it is true or not," Hana added, making Hayato listen once more, "As I have told you, Hibari Kyouya is Tsuna's childhood friend, but there has been some rumors about them dating."

This made Hayato gape and snap his head towards his 'Hime-sama', and Kyoko and Hana gaze questioningly at the brunette, who in turn blushed a bright red, "Is this true, Hime-sama?"

"W-well..." Tsuna whispered, staring down, avoiding the gazes of the other three, "I-I-I guess you can say we are dating..." She tensed up, expecting negative replies.

Silence...

Followed by the squealing of a certain blond female.

Kyoko started gushing and squeezed Tsuna while muttering about 'how cute and perfect Tsuna-chan and Hibari-senpai are for each other!' making Hana chuckle at her best friends antics and send a reassuring smile towards Tsuna, but then she smirked, the expression screaming 'Need Details Later!', while the last person, Hayato, started blankly at Tsuna, before registering the words and then blushed slightly, muttering to himself "Need to know this guy... At least he seems strong enough so then he can protect Hime-sama..."

At the reaction (Quite the positive ones may I add), Tsuna felt herself relax, sending a small smile at the other three, who in return all smiled back at her- a shy smile in Hayato's case-, making herself feel at ease.

"Oh yeah!" Kyoko started, turning to Hayato, "Gokudera-kun! I'm sorry, we forgot to introduce ourselves! My name is Sasagawa Kyoko," the blond said, smiling softly at the Italian, the gestured to the standing dark haired female, "And that is Kurokawa Hana. We are Tsuna-chan's friends!"

Hayato nodded in return, being respectful towards his Hime-sama's friends, "I see, thank you Sasagawa-san, for being by Hime-sama's side this morning."

"Hime-sama?" Kyoko asked, tilting her head slightly in confusion.

The silver haired boy nodded, face serious, "Yes, Hime-sama. If I'm not to call her Jyuudaime, then Hime-sama it is!"

Kyoko nodded hesitantly, gazing slightly at Tsuna, who sighed and gave her blond friend a reassuring smile, which made Kyoko relax and turn back to Hayato, "Alright then! To be honest, I feel like Hime fits Tsuna-chan! She's like a princess, isn't she?" Kyoko said.

Hayato's eyes sparkled at that, "Yes! I totally agree! Hime-sama is as beautiful and kind as a princess! No! Even better than a princess! Hime-sama is the best!" He gushed loudly, making Kyoko giggle, and reply back to him with as much enthusiasm.

While those two were in their own world, filled with Tsuna as their object of admiration, Hana went towards the brunette, "What did the silver monkey mean by 'Jyuudaime'?"

Tsuna snapped her head towards Hana, surprised at the question, before she chuckled sheepishly, "Ahaha... It's nothing really..."

Hana raised an eyebrow with a 'Are you serious?' deadpan look, before sighing and leaving the topic, "Fine, Anyways get up, let's get you dressed, lunch is already finished. Kyoko and I actually came to inform you that because you missed it, and we're already late to our class."

Tsuna blinked in surprise, before shrieking lightly, gaining the attention of the other two, "We're late to class!"

This made the other three crack grins at Tsuna.

"Come on you guys!!! We need to get going!!!"

"Hai," the rest chorused, exchanging laughs while watching Tsuna rushing inside the building, clutching Kyouya's jacket around her.

Reborn smirked in amusement at sight of his student with her friends.

After Kurokawa and Sasagawa came, he hid his presence, in order to make his student forget about him, he needed himself to be completely hidden, and he was right, Tsuna has completely forgotten that he was present there.

He heard Kurokawa explaining to the Smoking Bomb about the prefect, his relations to Tsuna, the school and the whole town. He heard the question of the rumor going on between Tsuna and Hibari, and the confirmation that the said rumor was true. However he noticed how Tsuna tensed, as if she expected negative responses to what she revealed.

It seems like that even with her friendship with the demon prefect, she still has a low self-esteem... I need to fix that.

He felt satisfied when he saw Gokudera get along with Sasagawa, even if it was due to then fantasizing about Tsunahime.

Then he turned his attention to Kurokawa, that girl is sharp, and she could be of value to Tsuna in regards to the mafia, but knowing his kind hearted student she wouldn't want that, she would want to keep her newly made friends out of the darker side of the world.

And he had a feeling that if he did involve them, then any trust she had in him, would be broken, and that's not what he's aiming for.

But then why should he care?

He frowned at this.

He shouldn't care if the girl trusted him or not.

The only reason he is here is to turn her into a mafia boss.

It isn't to make her to trust him.

It isn't to make her happy either.

He needs to keep focus on his actual objective.

And avoid getting attached too...

After school, in the school courtyard, more specifically, in one of the sports field, stood a teen with short, spikey dark brown hair, almost black if not for the sunlight hitting it, showing that yes, indeed, it is brown, and a pair of brown narrow eyes, sweating and panting, a big frown adored their face.

The teen gazed the field, catching their breath, before bending and clutching the handle of their bat tightly, while gritting their teeth in frustration.

They could feel the ache in their arms, but paid it no attention, as they walked towards the Pitching Machine and loading in more baseballs and starting the machine.

They jogged back into their place and got into position, swing the bat a few time, adjusting their grip, then started swinging, hitting the small white balls being thrust in their direction, trying to hit the balls as far as they can, but none of the balls are going to where they're aiming.

The process continued until all the balls in the machine were pitched, leaving the teen a panting mess once more.

Taking in a deep breath, they lifted the bat when they winced, dropping the bat from a surge of pain shooting through their arm, as they clutched it to their chest.

Biting their tongue in order to not utter any sound, any noise, to hold in the urges to shout, to yell, to scream, from the pain, from the frustration, from how tired they are, from how weak they're getting...

They need to get better...

That was their aim, their objective, but no matter how hard they're trying, no matter how much they spend training, it seems to only be getting worse, and, and, they just didn't know what to do anymore.

Sighing from frustration, they let of their arm, and once more picked their bat when someone interrupted.

"Yamamoto-kun?"

Snapping and forcing a big smile, whirling around, 'Yamamoto' saw one of their classmates, Sawada Tsunahime, standing there, with the new transfer student behind her, glaring at them.

"Ah! Sawada!" The now known teen, spoke, voice deep, indicating that he was a male, "What are ya doin’ here?"

Tsunahime gazed at him, worry flashing in her eyes for a second, making her eyes flash golden before returning to the honey brown eyes they were, causing him to take an intake of breath from the sight, from the emotion her eyes showed for the split second, before letting out the breath.

"Nothing," She finally answered, assessing his condition, how he winced when clutching his bat, his forced smile, then stared around the field, noticing the multiple baseballs around the field, then returning her gaze to the tired player, "Please do take some rest Yamamoto-kun, you seem to need it. Every hard worker needs a break..." Then she turned around, leaving with Gokudera trailing after.

Yamamoto stood shocked, before snapping out of the shock, and letting the smile slip of his face, before narrowing his eyes.

'A hard worker... A hard worker is known to achieve their objectives. I'm no hard worker...

Not with how bad I'm getting...'
