Picture is Rin (who will come up during Kunudon's speeches).

Whilst I was stuck on this chapter with writers block, I started to edit my earlier chapters. I came across this one joke I used in Karma Time when Takeshi joined. It's was 'Tsuna banged the table (like that one scene from Code: Geass)'. I look back at it and think 'So only I found it funny?? I have a horrible sense of humor after all.' That's all I wanted to say. Bai •3•

"Thank you for the help children, I really appreciate it," Korosensei said as he and two others were taking some lab equipment to the classroom.

"You may have more hands than the rest of us, but it'll still be a stretch to take this all by yourself." The girl, revealing to be Kataoka, replied picking up a box of equipment.

"Exactly. Now it's a one trip job." Was her answer from the octopus as he grabbed more test tubes. "No wonder you were both elected as class officers. So reliable."

"Thanks." The boy, now revealed to be Isogai, said. "But you really could've done this on your own without us. A couple of trips back and forth."

"I suppose I could've, yes. But the more the merrier, aye?" Korosensei retaliated, not giving them room for arguments.

"I have a question, sir." Isogai started. "Are you starting to feel at home? Like with all of us?"

"Wow. I can't believe you're really asking him that." Kataoka was surprised. She didn't expect him to ask a creature about to destroy the Earth, something like that.

"Put in those terms, I'd say I feel incredibly at home- as your teacher." He quickly added, trying not mix up any emotions.

"That's strange." Was the only reply from Kataoka.

"Really?"

"Well, yeah. A creature like you taking an interest in students like us isn't something you see every day." Before Kataoka could speak, Isogai replied instead.

"I mean you actually teach us. That's borderline cool. Just takes some getting used to." The other said as they entered the

"Yeah. No kidding." Isogai agreed with her statement. Then they opened the doors to see the following.

• Karma teasing Tsuna, AGAIN
• Everyone chatting
• Takeshi was taking pictures
• Maehara, Okajima and Mimura attempting another assassination

"Then there's the whole assassination thing." He added as they watched Korosensei dodge all three and take the equipment and set it up. During this process, his eyes landed on Tsuna, who suddenly froze and his eyes widened. Curious, he went up to Tsuna, everyone else's eyes followed, a tapped in on his shoulder. Karma waved a hand in front of his face, knocking Tsuna out of his trance.

"Takeshi. Demon." Takeshi's eyes widened. He was here. Somehow. But the real question is... Why? Is it to end Tsuna? Or to beg for his forgiveness? Knowing him, it's impossible to tell unless you look, dead in his eyes. 5 seconds Tsuna said those words, the door slammed open, revealing a boy with black hair, standing.

"Nyoogh!" Korosensei yelped as he finished setting the equipment; Tsuna collapsed on the floor with Karma holding him (for some reason *ahem*totallynotfortheship*ahem*) and Takeshi frozen. Then Karasuma and Irina came.

"What's wrong?" Irina asked, then she looked at the boy. "S-Skylark?" That ticked him off.

"Shut up, Bitch-Herbivore." Everyone was shaken. Who was this guy? And if Irina knows him, is he another assassin, assigned to kill Korosensei?

"Why are you here? After what you did to Tsuna?" She coldly asked, narrowing her eyes.

"I'm doing something I should've done ages ago..." He mumbled, walking up to Tsuna.

"K-Kyoya..." Takashi whispered but it was apparently heard by everyone.

"Kyoya?!"

He got down on all fours and formally bowed to Tsuna, who was just looking at him, his head reaching the floor.

"I was wrong. I should never have betrayed you. You are my Sky and nothing can change that. I was supposed to be the Aloof cloud, protecting the Sky from an independent standpoint. But I got too cocky and left the Sky altogether." Tsuna was still in shock. It was silent for a minute. Then he hugged him.

"I forgive you, Kyoya." Karma's eye twitched in annoyance. "You came here, threw away your pride and begged for my forgiveness in front of people you don't even know, even going to the lengths of spying on Professor Karasuma and Korosensei. For that, I'm grateful." The boy, now known as Kyoya, closed his eyes in acceptance. Karma was still a bit annoyed though.

When it all settled down, Karasuma finally realized the raven-haired boy.

"Oh. You're the new transfer." Kyoya nodded his head. Said boy got up and stood at the front of the class. "Students. This is Hibari Kyoya. Any questions?"

"How do you know Tsuna?" Kyoya looked at Maehara for a while.

"He slapped me with a slipper and I almost killed him a few times."

...

"KILL?!?!"

"Who are you exactly?" Of course, the most level headed and somewhat normal person out of them, Karma, asked. A smirk graced his lips as he looked at the boy with calculating eyes.

"Head of the disciplinary committee. In both Namimori and as of now, this school. Also Tsunayoshi's strongest guardian, the cloud." Not a single drop of doubt laced it. Instead, it was pride. Everyone visibly froze when they heard that. Disciplinary committee? "Also a useless child from the Hibari Family. Almost abandoned for that." His voice was ever so slightly shaky as he admitted that. Tsuna's eyes softened when he heard his guardian say that. Normally, Kyoya would get try to ignore the fact. But here he was, telling that to the entire class. People he didn't even know. "The only reason I admit this is because I can see that Tsunayoshi trusts you with his life. And I trust my Sky." 'At least I do now...' He kept those words to himself. "Anymore?" A single hand rose. It belonged to Nagisa Shiota.

"Are you here to assassinate Korosensei?" Kyoya looked at the octopus, who just now realized he could be another assassin/hitman sent to eliminate him.

"No. I am simply here to beg for my Sky's forgiveness. I was meant to be the Aloof Cloud who protects. But I stopped protecting and left his side." Everyone froze. Tsuna said that. "I am simply asking for forgiveness. Even if I do not deserve it, I will continue to beg for it, as it is the only thing I want right now. I'd give up my life for it."

"Shut up. Now." They looked at Tsuna who looked pretty pissed. "Do not even dare think about giving your life just for my forgiveness. You know that I'll never be able to hate you. So shut up." It took him a while to recover but, Kyoya smirked at his sky.

"Right, Tsunayoshi!"

Time Skip

After all the commotion, they finally got on with class. It's towards the end.

"And that is how you take away the colour." Then he took of everyone's (but Tsuna's) sweets. Not Tsuna because Tsuna had almost stabbed his hand when he tried to take the pokky off of him. Okuda looked at her teacher in worry. Will her plan work? How will she present it?

"Don't even think about taking my sweets." Tsuna's dark look made the class snicker but Korosensei, Takeshi and Kyoya shiver. The bloodlust was immense. Okuda finally gathered the courage and walked up to Korosensei, who had just put the sweets in the teachers lounge.

"Yes, Okuda?" She blushed in embarrassment as she shifted her position slightly. "Come on. Speak up." Tsuna looked at the bottles in her hands and seeing that she was about to tear up, he lent a hand. Standing up, the attention centred on him as he walked towards Okuda.

"Go on. It's fine. No one will laugh. After all, we haven't thought of it yet." They were very confused until she brought out three tubes of liquid and shoved it in front of Korosensei.

"Poison, sir! Would you drink it please?!" Everyone sweatdropped. Meahara commented on her bluntness as Isogai elbowed him in the side. "I'm sorry. Is this weird?" On one side, Korosensei said it was straightforward. On the other side, Tsuna said it was unique. "You see, the thing is sir, I'm not good at being sly or sneaky. Everyone else is so good at this stuff. However, I am only good at chemistry. And I put my blood, sweat and tears (BTS Army!! Unite!!) and my heart and soul into this mixture."

"Okuda? Umm... points for throwing in, but no one's that stu--" Sugino's words were cut off by a baseball, thrown by Takeshi. He looked at him. Takeshi was holding up a finger against his lips, shushing Sugino. The girls swooned. Kyoya glared.

"Shut up. Or I'll bite you to death." Takeshi sweatdropped at that old catchphrase.

"Your heart and soul?" Korosensei lifted the vials up to eyesight. "Don't mind if I do!" He poured the first poison into his mouth. (Author is gonna be a bit dirty minded) As soon as the liquid entered his throat, he gagged. He groaned as he spoke, his voice strained. "This is...! This is too.....!"

"Is it really gonna work?"

"No way this might be it!"

"No." They looked at Tsuna. "Intuition." As soon as he said that, Korosensei's face turned blue and morphed into an animal that looked strangely like Sonic the Hedgehog. Tsuna's rolled his eyes as Korosensei continued to drink, being even more dramatic each time he drank one.

The second one made his go lime green with a hint of blue. His face formed wings which made him look quite fancy.

The final poison actually seemed like he was going to die. Purple and black aura mixed together as he struggled to gain his breath. Everyone was thinking 'Is this it? Is he going to die?'. But Tsuna, Kyoya and Takeshi rolled their eyes. Nope. His face turned completely white, his former grin turning into a small line. Emotionless. Just like Tsuna. Korosensei spoke, his voice low and raspy, no longer having the same joyful kick to it.

"Even if you hate me, please don't hate assassination."

"WHAT BROUGHT THAT ON?!" Korosensei looked at the slightly depressed Okuda, yellow returning to his face as his grin grew back.

"I can't overlook a student making poison unsupervised. It's not safe." Okuda apologized to him, her voice lowering slightly. But then, Korosensei proposed something.

"If you have time later, why don't we work together on a poison to kill me?" She couldn't mask the excitement more shock in her voice as she took him up on the offer.

"Y-Yes please!" Kayano and Nagusa deadpanned.

"Making a poison with the target?" She said, sweat dropping down her face at the sight of the two.

"I'll ask her about the details later." Nagisa said as Tsuna closed his eyes, snacking on his pokky whilst making his way next to Karma. ^~^ (The ship is real!!)

——

Karasuma watched as his students played Assassination Badminton. He looked at the new student, Hibari Kyoya, and then turned to Yamamoto Takeshi. The two were strange and definitely hiding something. Not once has Takeshi joined PE. And the catchphrase Kyoya used was very unique and threatening. Takeshi looked like he was going to run when Kyoya said 'I'll bite you to death' when he was annoyed. Finally, he looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was dodging Karma's hugs. This one was a mystery. More so than Takeshi and Kyoya. It seemed they were trying to find something out about Tsuna. His thoughts were cut off when Irina called out to him.

"Karasuma!" He turned to look at the assassin. "It's sweltering here, don't you think?" She messed around his with her blazer as she walked to her coworker. "Don't you agree, Karasuma?" Irina took his arm and hugged the man as she leaned towards him, blushing.

"If you're hot, then don't get so close." The blush disappeared from her cheeks at the blunt statement. "I'm not your target, so stop messing around." She glared at Karasuma and backed off.

"What a killjoy!"

"If you hope to remain here as a teacher, I suggest you pull yourself together." Irina scoffed as she fanned herself with her hand, her gaze going outside.

"It's so sticky and humid here. It's disgusting. Why doesn't this campus have air conditioning?" She complained, continuing to look at the joyful students. Karasuma replies stating that he already asked but they refused. Clearly confused, Irina could only say one thing. "Huh?" The two teachers watched as the students continued to play.

"That's... just the kind of place this is."

"Damn right." They both jump and turn around to see Tsuna carried by Karma.

"Put me down." Karma ignored him and continued to speak.

"Even I couldn't believe it. Especially when I asked Tuna-fish." Seeing the confused states by both of them, Tsuna continued on for Karma, ignoring the embarrassing nickname.

"Karma asked me about how we survive with the heat. And I replied normally." Karma shook his head a let Tsuna go, placing a hand on his head and resting his chin. Somehow, Takeshi saw this and took out a camera, taking a picture of the cute ship.

"He said 'It's actually quite cool'."

——

Meanwhile, Korosensei watched over Okuda as they started to create the poison.

"Now, let's add the ethanol. Oh, be careful not to inhale the fumes." Korosensei warmed as Okuda did as told. Okuda looked at him as he spoke again. "Your grades in science class are superb, but..." He trailed on as Okuda placed down a bottle and smiled dimly.

"But everything else just goes over my head. It's only natural that I'd end up in E-Class." He stared at the young girl seemingly neutral, but you can see the sadness in his silence and eternal grin. "Language arts, especially. I never know which way is the right way to say things or how to express my feelings as a person." Korosensei hummed in understanding as Okuda continued to speak. "But I'm okay with that." Okuda said, her smile brightening slightly. "Because equations and formulas always have the right answer." She looked peacefully at the bottle in front of her. "They're free of fussy word games and complicated emotions."

"That's true..." Korosensei agreed, looking at his student. "In that case,..." he reached in his inside pocket and brought a piece of paper. "I have a homework assignment for you." Okuda looked at the teacher in confusion. "Handle it with utmost care." As Okuda received the assignment, a figure smirked slightly behind the door. The two looked at the door as it shut with a soft bang. A slip of paper was on the floor. Okuda opened it and smiled. Her voice was soft as she read it mentally, Korosensei deciding not to mess with her business (it will be revealed at the end of this half).

"Thank you."

——

The bell rang as homeroom began but Korosensei was not there yet. Kayano looked at Okuda in slight worry.

"So, he told you to bring that poison into class?" Okuda smiled as she held a glass containing red liquid. It fizzed as she spoke.

"Yes! He said it should theoretically work the best." Nagisa sweatdropped reading her assignment.

"He even made a manga out of how to store poison correctly." Sugino also read the paper as Nagisa continued to speak. "He's always ready to lend a hand." Looking at the short manga, Sugino spoke, wary of his intentions.

"A poison that'll kill him? What's he thinking?" Okuda smiled at the two friends.

"I think it's his way of encouraging me. I think he wants me to hone my strengths, even if I'm not good with words." When she said that, the door opened and Korosensei walked in, telling everyone to quiet down for homeroom.

"He's here! Go give it to him!" Doing as she was told, Okuda walked up to Korosensei, presenting the poison. He congratulated her and took the poison in his own hands.

"Then, I'll drink it at once!" The sound of a lid popping and the sound of gulping. Everyone watched in anxiety as he drank the poison. Takeshi, Kyoya and Tsuna brought out their knives and guns, Karma following suit after seeing their actions. For some reason, their intuition was really good.

Korosensei's black eyes flowed red as his body tensed. Villainous laughter filled the air as Okuda watched with wide eyes. Their teacher dodged as two bullets from Karma and Takeshi hit where he was. Kyoya and Tsuna, calculating where he'd dodge to, threw their knives but once again, he dodged. He thanked Okuda as he stared in shock, only able to voice her confusion with 'huh?'.

"Thanks to your concoction, I can advance to a new level." Despair filled her eyes as Korosensei continued to dodge bullet and knives.

"What... do you mean...?" Tsuna narrowly missed Korosensei before he and the other three boys were tossed aside due to wind pressure. Everyone shield their faces as Tsuna caught Karma in time and Takeshi caught Kyoya, unable to take a photo of the Kar27 scene. What happened next shocked them all.

"Phew..." Korosensei let out a sigh whilst settling on his desk in a liquid form. Still shocked, Tsuna forgot to let go so Takeshi took the chance and snapped a shot. Light flashed in his eyes, making Tsuna snap back to reality. He let go of Karma whilst the class freaked out.

"HE MELTED?!" Korosensei somehow lifted his head slightly as he spoke. His hat somehow shrunk with him and his clothes were nowhere to be found.

"I actually had you make a tonic that would stimulate my cells and increase my fluidity." Tsuna raised an eyebrow and Takeshi shot at the blob, causing him to dodge and quickly make his way to Kataoka's desk. She gasped at the silvery blob. He peaked out of her desk. "As a liquid, I can now fit into the tightest of places."

"Ugh, why are you in there?" At her question, he sped out and bounced around the class, the class too bewildered to shoot or stab at their teacher.

"What's more... is that I'm still speedy as ever!" He began to taunt the class as Kyoya's eye twitched in annoyance. This Carnivore was taunting him. He shot Korosensei whilst he was in midair, catching him but his body simply formed a hole for the bullet to pass through. He wished he could use his cuffs but there was the omertà. Okuda yelled at her teacher.

"You tricked me, Korosensei!" He stopped at a corner of the classroom, grinning at Okuda.

"Having the verbal aptitude to deceive others is a vital part in assassination, Okuda." Okuda gasped in confusion. Nagisa simply asked.

"Verbal aptitude?"

"Even the most potent of poisons is wasted if you offer it in such a naïve way, that your target can take advantage of you." Korosensei answered, morphing back into a octopus. Somehow, his clothes returned and his hat grew. "Takeshi, how you try to poison me?" Takeshi rubbed the back of his head but answered professionally.

"If it was up to me, I'd either put it in something you like and offer it as a gift," Nagisa nod his head, thinking amongst the same lines, "or slip it into your meals whilst you weren't paying attention or distracted. Maybe even start a friendly conversation and then force you to drink it. If you were a woman, I'd slip it in your mouth whilst I kissed you." Everyone but Karma, Rio, Korosensei, Tsuna and Kyoya blushed when Takeshi finished up. Korosensei chuckled.

"Yes. To deceive someone, you must understand their feelings and communicate with them creatively. Language is the key to an effective poisoning." Okuda finally realized what Korosensei was trying to say. "Your scientific talent will someday be useful to everyone. So, to explain things to as many people as possible,..." he raised a finger and continued to speak, "... I hope you develop you're language skills to poison someone." At this, Okuda smile brightly and agreed.

"Yes!" Everyone sweatdropped as they smiled. They turned to Karma who chuckled next to Tsuna.

"Yup. Assassination in the least of everyone's worries right now." As Nagisa began to monologue in his head, Okuda caught sight of the person who spied on her yesterday. He held a hand to her chest as she smiled to herself. The slip of paper entered her mind as she repeated her words.

'Good luck, baby-omnivore.'

"Thank you." [[Who's up for some 18Oku?? I'm kind of interested... -^-]]

——

The sound of birds singing and water rushing filled the area. Twigs snapped as students walked down the mountain.

"Hurry!" The Ikeman yelled at his classmates. "If we're late, who knows what they'll do to us this time!" Hinata agreed as she remembered what happened last time. Her voice was downward than usual as Maehara followed them behind.

"Oh, yeah. Last time we had to clean out the main campus' flowerbeds." Maehara has his hands behind his head as he walked.

"Man, that was rough. Their flowerbeds are way too huge." Isogai turned around to face his best friend (and crush. Maybe. Depends on what my viewers think •3•).

"You slacked off the entire time!" He scolded as Hinata stopped with clenched fists.

"Oh, really?" Maehara said. Her body shook as she yelled.

"Ugh! Why are we the only students who have to put up with this crap?!"

—

Tell us, Kunudon!

"Hey Everyone! It's me, Kunudon!" An acorn appears, waving his hand at my viewers. Rin-san (me. I like the name Rin) also appears, hand in pockets, glaring at the annoying mascot.

"Where's Jack Frost, Teddie or Morgana when you need them?" She whispers under her breath. Ignoring the author, Kunudon twirled around to a map and pointed at a mountain.

"To keep its underachievers from affecting the rest of the student body, E-Class has its own special building far away from the main campus." Rin deadpanned at the acorn.

"Because apparently that's a healthy life-style for these characters in the original anime/manga and my fanfiction. Fun." The audience replied in an excited and childish voice.

"Eh? That's amazing!" Kunudon continued to speak.

"Normally, E-Class aren't allowed to step foot on the main campus. The only exception is when they come down the mountain for school assemblies. All on their lunch break, of course!" Rin smirked and held in a laugh at the acorn.

"Tell that to Tsuna, Karma and Kyoya." The screen zooms in on a place on the map with one broken bridge and one fixed, indicating that one breaks upon impact.

—

Chiba and two others walked up. Okajima and Mimura yelled as the bridge broke underneath them, Chiba staying calm like Rinka and Tsuna.

"T-The bridge!" Mimura yelled.

"A-Alright! Who told us this was a shortcut?!" Okajima yelled.

"Tsuna and Karma." Chiba answered nonchalantly. A few seconds later, Mimura held out a hand towards Okajima as Chiba laid on the ground soaking.

"Okajima!"

——

"To maintain discipline," Kunudon appeared again as Rin held a bat in her hand, tempted to hit the acorn and split it open. "the scumbag members of E-Class are required to line up in the gymnasium before all the other classes." Rin swung her bag, almost hitting the acorn but he dodged just in time, feeling the killing intent. Despite just trying to kill the acorn, Rin smiles innocently and holds the bat on her shoulder.

"Whoops. Silly me." The next words caused Kunudon to shiver. "I missed."

The screen zooms in where Hara, Yada and Fuwa are, surrounded by snakes as they scream.

——

"Kyaa!" As they scream and dodge the snakes, Okajima suddenly appears. "Okajima-kun!" His arms and neck were wrapped with snakes as he struggled to get up, covered in dirt and somehow not soaking wet.

——

Kunudon now wore a scowl on his face and purple sunglasses, a baton pointing to the main school campus, aka, the finish line.

"Get yer scrummy asses in g—!" Before he could finish, Rin had him pinned on the floor, a bat in his mouth to silence him.

"Shut up and watch."

——

The idiot trio and Hazama yelled as boulders rolled down, Okajima nearing them.

"Boulders!" They yell and they dodge. Despite the warning, Okajima continued to run and found another reason to do so. His life. "O-Okajima!"

Sugino, Nagisa, Kanzaki, Sugaya and Okuda screamed as bees attacked them. Okajima continued to run, a blinder chasing him.

"Who prodded that beehive?!" Boulder now Home but snakes still there, Okajima ran in the way, accidentally acting as decoy. "O-Okajima!" Sugino sweatdropped as they watched Okajima run.

"H-He's sure gone through a lot. I hope he'll be okay." Nagisa agreed with his best friends statement.

"Y-Yeah."

——

As the six collapse, they spoke about how Okajima took the brunt for most of the 'attacks'. Karasuma came up to them, not a single piece of dirt on his clothes or a single bead of sweat. He told them not to rush.

"At the pace we're at, we'll have plenty of time." As Karasuma said that, a voice echoed throughout the forest.

"Hold on...!" Irina made her way down the mountain in lightning speed as she yelled, gaining attention from every student but the three who stayed behind. Karma, Tsuna and Kyoya. "... you brats!" Katano realized the yelling and spoke.

"Oh! Bitch-sensei!" Irina panted as she placed her hands and her knees on the floor, tied from the running. Well deserved actually. That would've taken a lot of fire power. And people actually don't like Irina. I like her. She's good. Anyway.

"No one told me about a class trip during lunch." She said through her pants. Sugino sighed.

"Wow. You're a real mess, Bitch-sensei." At that, she snapped and looked at the baseball lover.

"You try running through nature in heels!" Nagisa looked at Karasuma and asked him the question he had in mind, seeing the two teachers.

"Karasuma-sensei." He looked at the blue haired boy. "Where's Korosensei?" Karasuma answered without hesitation.

"We can't afford to have the other students see him, so Hibari is keeping him guarded at the main campus."

——

Kyoya stared at the Carnivore. His face changed again into the same white with no expression, his voice low and raspy.

"I'm an outcast, all alone... Shunned sensei." Kyoya 'hned' at that. He was there too. So was Karma and Tsu—. He found that his Sky was sleeping next to Karma who had hugged him in his sleep. Feeling the warmth, Tsuna snuggled in, wrapping his arm around Karma's shoulder as Korosensei's face turned a light pink. He took the job of the Rain and set up a video recorder with the flash off (pic of my drawing. Sorry if u can't see it for some reason because it's super cute. Not very good but super cute)

Takeshi didn't come in today. Job from Vongola Undecimo apparently. Kyoya could hear the disgust and feel the glare as Takeshi mailed him that. Their Sky was Tsuna once more. Not her. Not again.

——

As they finally made it to the main campus, everyone collapsed and laid on the floor though Okajima had the worst of it. Soon enough, Isogai and Maehara stood up and told everyone to hurry up.

——

(From now on in this chapter, this will be telling the story of Kyoya, Tsuna and Karma~)

Whilst E-Class was facing discrimination, Tsuna and Karma were sleeping as Kyoya watched over the octopus. Soon, Kyoya had escorted Korosensei inside and they stayed in the teachers lounge, leaving Tsuna and Karma alone. Eyes twitching, Tsuna tried to stretch but realized his position. Seeing as he was alone, he dropped his mask and his face was painted red. Karma was hugging him to his chest and Tsuna was hugging Karma in return. Normally, Tsuna wouldn't like this at all but... he couldn't explain it. He's only felt this way once. With him.

No. It wasn't like that. With him he could feel that it was only him fooling around and Tsuna taking it seriously.

But this time it felt much warmer. It felt like it was much more... receivable. More... safe. Then he saw it. Tears pricked at the corner of Tsuna's eyes. At the very sight.

Calm flames danced around Karma's heart. Rare flames. Another element. One far away but closer than the rest. Like a cloud... but much closer.

It watched over the Sky always closer than the Sun yet further than the rest. The confident one who deals with the enemy before it could attack the Sky yet some may slip past its blind spot.

The moon.

Despite contrary belief, the moon was the closest to the Sky. Yet so hard to find. Hidden in pain sight. Maybe that's why Tsuna and Kyoko never worked. That's why Tsuna and Reborn never worked. Because there was someone else perfect.

Looking at the sleeping figure, Tsuna's heart skipped a beat. His head automatically reached up at Karma's cheek. His mask was put back on as he whispered to Karma.

"I love— No. I don't love you. I love many people. I'm in love with you." Tsuna settled back down in the hold, snuggling in further and wrapping his arms around Karma, unaware of the recording camera. At the slow rises of Tsuna's chest and soft yawns, Karma's eyes fluttered open, a blush spreading across his face as he resisted the urge to touch his cheek.

"I'm in love with you too, Tsuna."

——

"They finally did it! Young love~!" Rin smiled as she cupped her blushing cheeks, whilst sitting on the acorn. Kunudon raised his hand.

"Technically they didn't. Tsuna thought Karma was asleep and he didn't hear Karma's wor— Blegh!" He was cut off by a bat. A sadistic smirk took form on Rin's face as she placed the bat on her shoulder. He black hair was now tied up and she wore a purple leather jacket over a black top with 'MCR' written on it. She had a purple and black skirt that ended just below thighs and black studded boots.

"Shut up, brat!"

——

After Kyoya let Korosensei go after he got tired of listening to him moan, he walked out and saw Tsuna stretching and Karma listening to music as he lay down on the grass.

What did he miss?
