Chapter Three


Five minutes has passed. The guardians assembled at the roof terrace.
Tsuna and Reborn stood at the side near the door to prevent getting involved in the upcoming mayhem.

Gokudera took out one of his boxes that contained a belt of boxes and opened it. After that, he opened another one of the boxes which has his Sistema C.A.I.

“Okay I’m ready.” Aki said after doing a little stretching.

“Where are your weapons?” Gokudera asked.

“Might not need them.” she replied.

“Then don’t regret.” Gokudera said and fired a blow towards Aki.

“Flame Arrow!”

Aki quickly sidestepped towards the right, almost stumbling over.

“Woah, this is dangerous.” She commented while trying to regain her balance.

“Good you know. I’m gonna get you packing and running back to Italy.” Gokudera replied and fired another Flame Arrow.

Aki quickly took out one of her guns and fired one shot towards the arrow, planning to freeze it. However, it was only stopped for a split second and the ice soon cracked. The arrow continued to travel towards her.

“Oops.”

Aki said and thought of another alternative to escape, which is to duck.

After ducking and barely missing it, she fired a few shots consecutively at Gokudera. The shots missed him.

“Haha, where’re you aimi—“ Before he could complete his sentence, he was encased in ice.

“Those shots was meant to be missed on purpose.” Aki explained while keeping the gun.

“Is that enough?” She asked Tsuna.

“Midori tanabiku, Namimori no~” A bird sang while landing on the ice.

Suddenly, the sound of someone’s yawn came from near the water tanks. That yawn scared the daylights out of Tsuna. (I can imagine Hibari’s theme playing in the background.)

“Uh-oh..” He thought.

“What are you herbivores doing?” Hibari asked, clearly pissed as someone disturbed his sleep.

“Uhhhh… Hi…. Hibari-san!” Tsuna said nervously and got petrified.

Hibari turned to the fence, which was damaged by Gokudera’s Flame Arrow.

“Which herbivore did this? I will bite him or her to death.” Hibari said while taking out his tonfas.

“Oh. Hi~ Nice to meet you.” Aki said to Hibari.

Hibari’s attention shifted to Aki. “Who are you?”

“Transfer student.” Aki said while extending her hand for a handshake.

“What is that.” Hibari asked, pointing to the gun that she just kept.

Not again. “Guns.” Aki replied.

“I’m the only one who can bring weapons to school. I will have you hand it over. Co-operate or I’ll bite you to death.” Hibari said menacingly.

“Hey hey.. I didn’t heard anything about that yeah? Plus, it’s not yours. You can’t have it.” Aki protested.

“Oh really? Then I guess I have to teach you guys the rules.” Hibari replied and made a feint strike when he was near her. Thinking it was real, she dodged it. Seizing the opportunity, Hibari quickly did a few foot works and got behind Aki.

Alarmed, she quickly turned around and tried to fire at him, but it missed. Hibari started swinging blow after blow at her, hence Aki had no choice but to defend while holding both guns in reverse.

“A herbivore after all.” Hibari commented after Aki backed away till she hit a wall.

“Oh really?” Aki said and tried to fire again.

Hibari dodged the blow and used that opportunity to land a hit on Aki. One of the tonfas hit the top of her head.

“Owwwww!!!!~” Aki said while covering her head with her hands and dropping her guns.

Hmm? I thought I had either cracked her skull or cause injury. She wasn’t even scratched? Hibari thought to himself.

“Fine you win! But you’re gonna get it next time!!” She said and kept her weapons.

“Not gonna continue?” Hibari asked.

“I have lessons. The Chairman of the Discipline Committee doesn’t want the students to be late for lessons, does he?” Aki said and stormed off with Ganta behind her. Reborn just smirked and Tsuna was still petrified.

“Heh. Interesting..” Hibari thought.

-----------------------------------------------------

Aki closed the door leading to the rooftop behind her.

“Here.” Ganta said and passed a bottle of water to her.

“Thanks.”

Aki screwed the bottle cap open and gulped down the water while walking to the classroom.

“Uhhh….Nee-chan, I need to use the toilet first. You can go back to the class before me.” Ganta said as they were nearing the classroom.

“Be quick. Lesson’s starting.” She replied.

Ganta quickly turned a corner and went to one of the toilets.

Just as she was about the to reach the classroom, she felt a sudden giddiness. She quickly put a hand on the walls for support. However, it didn’t get better. She no longer had the strength to support herself. As she fell to the ground, the bottle of water that Ganta passed to her fell to the ground.

Just as she faded out of consciousness, she saw someone run towards her.

“Ganta?”
