[A/N: The hiatus isn't over yet. Just put this out to quench your drooling mouths. Until the hiatus is over, I'll just casually publish chapters, there will be at least one or two per week until then. Sorry, it's just that I'm really not in the mood to write fanfics right now as my college is about to start, and my original work is finally taking shape (the latter has got me pretty excited, not gonna lie, my own shounen is about to come to life mwahahaha).]
Kyoko quickly arrived downstairs and walked into the kitchen where Nana was, before she could notice, she had been lifted out of the ground and was being held by the fifteen-year-old girl as if she weighed nothing!
"W-what's going on!?" She exclaimed in surprise, in her confusion she didn't even notice that it was Kyoko until she spoke.
"Aunty, what you said earlier is unforgivable. I'll ask you to retract it, no matter what." Kyoko punched a wall making cracks cover it from the ceiling to the ground. "I'm mad because you labeled him like that without any consideration."
"Hieeek!!" She couldn't understand what was she talking about, and struggled to escape from her iron tight grip.
At that moment both Reborn and Tsuna entered the kitchen.
"Reborn! Tell me you have a way to undo this!" Tsuna pleaded as his mind worked in a possible solution.
Reborn smiled hearing his question and said. "Of course I have, Reverse 1 ton!"
From a suitcase, a big hammer made of some unknown material appeared. Reborn took it from the case and walked while dragging it on the ground. Tsuna had wondered what he meant by 1 ton, but seeing the damage to the floor as he dragged it towards Kyoko he finally understood.
"What the hell! This can't possibly weigh 1 ton for real! Wait, what are you planning on doing-" Tsuna walked towards him as he spoke, but before he could finish his words, Reborn had already acted.
*PAAAH!* The sound of the hammer hitting an incomparably hard surface reached his ears as both Kyoko and Nana seemingly fell asleep even though only Kyoko was hit by the hammer!
"This is!" Tsuna observed in surprise as the bullet came out from her head and fell on the ground as the Dying Will Flames disappeared from Kyoko's head.
"Reverse 1 ton can reverse the dying will bullet, but I'm the only one that can do it. Now they'll both think that it was a dream."
Tsuna fell on his knees as he sighed with his body shaking, what a close one!
* * *
"Hm..." Kyoko slowly opened her eyes, only to realize that she was sleeping in Tsuna's bed. Stunned by this, she squeaked in a burst of fear, shame, and embarrassment. What happened? She asked herself as her eyes swept the room and her hands confirmed that she was still wearing her clothes.
Despite the sun having already disappeared, Tsuna was doing Push-Ups on the ground with his eyes closed.
She observed him quietly for some time.
After five minutes of endlessly doing that, he suddenly stopped and changed to doing squats.
This... Kyoko watched in surprise as Tsuna's sweat made his muscles visible through his shirt.
To think that Tsuna would be so dedicated to his training! He doesn't rest even at home, and this passion to become stronger... She was reminded of the day when Tsuna was training by himself during the PE class, she had followed Hana because she was acting suspiciously, and ended up discovering what he was doing.
A smile naturally bloomed on her face as she watched him, wasn't this just like her brother? They would probably be good friends if they knew each other.
She stood up from the bed, and at that moment, Tsuna was jolted awake by the sounds of her footsteps.
"Kyoko?" Tsuna turned and saw her surprised face.
"Sorry... I didn't want to interrupt you."
"It's okay, are you feeling well? You suddenly fell asleep, so I didn't know what to do, I thought that maybe you were tired..." Tsuna lied with a straight face, his acting so convincing that jurors of the Oscar would have glints in their eyes.
"Is that so..." Kyoko tried to remember the situation, but everything was fuzzy. "Maybe that was really the case..."
"You must be in hurry to go back, my mother has already gone to sleep so I won't ask you to stay for dinner, but at least, let me take you back to your home."
"Ah? You don't have to worry about this, I don't fear the streets at night." Kyoko waved her hands and shook her head, but she was happy inside that he offered to escort her back.
Tsuna, however, laughed hearing her words.
Seeing this she asked. "W-what is it?"
"Who said anything about you having fear?" Tsuna smiled as he took out his shirt and cleaned his upper body from the sweat using a towel that was drenched in cold water beforehand.
"Hm?" Kyoko blushed slightly with the scene but kept looking, she was starting to get used to seeing him like that for some reason.
Tsuna wore a brand new t-shirt and then answered the question that lingered in her mind. "I'm the one who fears that something might happen to you. Now, can we go? Or do you wish to do something before going?"
Hearing his words, Kyoko felt like her heart was beating faster than usual. When I'm not worried about myself, he is the one that is... Ahh, why my heart is beating like that? Kyoko shook her head and nodded. "Alright."
Reborn who had been sleeping peacefully in his hammock smiled as they left the room. "Good job, no-good Tsuna."
At that moment a lady appeared within Tsuna's room, she was wearing the same attire as the girl who was working on the street cafe stall. "Reborn."
"Hm. You'll get your payment tomorrow, good work."
She nodded with a smile and left. Another successful job of the Vongola family.
Under the blanket of the night, Tsuna and Kyoko lazily walked through the streets while admiring the beautiful starry sky of this night without clouds.
"I had a lot of fun today. Thanks, Tsuna." Kyoko suddenly spoke.
"Is that so?" Tsuna nodded and looked at her face that shone under the moonlight, meanwhile, countless thoughts were running through his mind.
While she had fun, Tsuna had learned a lot today, and most of it, made him question what he knew about this world, and consider the possibility that maybe he had been seeing Chakra wrongly in this world.
It was a mistake that he hadn't taken notice of before, but it made sense, even though you don't see magicians conjuring flame balls on the street. Concepts such as Chakra, Ki, Chi, mana, prana, cosmos, and other such magical energies are very popular here, while they were not something considered factual...
People had lots of interpretations for this kind of thing, and sometimes they are considered to be the same, in a way of another, he had been fooled by his System using the word Chakra, he should have noticed earlier from the way this energy he had been gathering and using behaved, one way or another, he had to make further test to fully evaluate what that is, and if it can truly be used like chakra, otherwise, he might find himself biting more than he can chew.
Tsuna's thoughtful expression surprised Kyoko. This is it, one of Tsuna's facets. The calm and collected King of Namimori Middle School, the one who singlehandedly dominated over the upper grades by putting fear into the hearts of their senpais.
It was at this moment that Kyoko finally noticed that Tsuna was much more complex than he looked on the surface.
Just like Hana said, he was a mix of good and evil, warm and cold. Tsuna could be fun, could be gentle and kind, and he could also be cold, cruel, and somewhat calculative as well, overall, that only meant that he was a multifaceted person, but that was fine as well.
Kyoko believed that even if he was like that, this only meant that he had the qualities of a leader, because a true leader had to be able to adapt to many situations, and Tsuna had all the necessary traits to deal with anything, no matter if he was facing the dark or the light, they were all part of him. And that was her belief.
Eventually, they stopped in front of a house with a sign that said, 'Sasagawa residence'.
"Thanks again, Tsuna... also... eh, sorry for sleeping in your bed." Kyoko scratched her cheeks as she flushed, just the thought made her feel like hiding her head in a hole, it was so embarrassing! Sleeping in a boy's bed, thankfully no one knew, they would think that she had done something indecent while in his house.
She did though, it's just that it wasn't her fault and she couldn't remember.
"Haha! Don't worry, you can sleep in my bed whenever you feel like it, it would be good to spend time with such a beautiful girl. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow at school, goodnight Kyoko."
They both waved their hands and Tsuna left.
While Kyoko watched his back disappearing in the night, with a feeling that he looked like an immeasurable mountain. A boy on the second floor of Kyoko's house watched with a raised eyebrow as Tsuna left.
"That guy with my sister... why do I feel like I had seen him before?"
