~.~ Chapter 3: Songs and Memories~.~

Tears flowed down rapidly on Tsuna`s cheeks as she ran down the hallway from embarrassment.

"I can`t believe the whole school saw that! Wah….I even declined Takeshi-kun`s kind offer!"

When Tsunako stopped running around aimlessly, she found herself in front of the rooftop door. Without hesitation, she twisted the metal knob, stepped out, and was greeted by the warm and welcoming rays of the sun and the gentle spring breeze.

"Maybe I should just stay here for a while and relieve some stress."She thought to herself as she slid her back against the door and sat down. After a few minutes of staring at the view, she got up and walked to a spot where the sun hit the most, laid her jacket that she used to wipe her tears on the floor, and sat down. Within a matter of minutes, she fell asleep quite peacefully while listening to the distant sounds of people talking on the ground below.

~.~

"What the hell was that about?" the silverette yelled as he and his friends walked down the always, his words were drowned out by the lousy fan girls and even some boy`s murmers and squels that echoed throughout the hallway.

But even midst the chaos, Yamamoto heard it and answered, "What do you mean?"

"You perfectly know what I mean. Who`s was that girl?" Gokudera asked with a now calmed voice.

"haha, you mean Tsuna? Well she was getting bullied so I just stood up for what was right." Yamamoto happily answered back.

Now the rest of the boys were a bit interested in this 'Tsuna'. Yamamoto was kindhearted and friendly but do to popularity reasons, he never really stood up for bullying unless it got real physical. Plus, he was one first term with names with her. Just who was she?

"Oya oya, the school ace got himself a girlfriend?" Mukuro asked cautiously, trying his best to hide his curiosity.

"Haha, not really, Tsuna is just a friend, but she is cute!" Yamamoto answered back nervously but used his laugh to cover it up.

Gokudera and Mukuro shrugged at this but in the back, Hibari raised an eyebrow, thinking.

'Herbivore found something interesting. '

In a matter of time, the bell rang and the teens hastily scurried into their classrooms, but the Vongola Gang leisurely walked to their class.

When they entered the class, the classroom burst into squeals and whispers of praise or envy while the teacher cowered in the front of their presence.

"Go on with your lesson." Hibari stated coldly at the teacher, making him nod in fear and start writing on the chalk board.

Hibari, although a delinquent and playboy, cared quite about the school and often 'bit people to death' for disrupting peace in Nami-gou and not learning or teaching, with an exception for his crew.

The Vongola gang was something he actually cared for although he didn't really socialize with he group as much as the others did.

Hibari looked out the window, staring at the Sakura tree that blossomed quite well this spring. Gokudera was sleeping, probably dreaming about meeting a UMA. Yamamoto was doodling pictures of who-knows-what in his notebook. Mukuro was undressing the girls in front of him while managing to look normal and decent. The teacher was teaching in fear with his quivering voice while everybody else was either staring at the four boys in awe or jealously. Yup, it was a normal day in class 2-B in Nami-gou.

~.~

It was by the late bell when Tsuna awoke from her blissful nap.

"Ah.. Where am I?" She questioned herself as she recalled memories of the past hour.

"Eh..Eh…EHHH! HIEEE! I`m late! Wah!" She ran inside without bothering to pick up her jacket and ran as fast as she could to her classroom. When she saw it, she slid open the door with full force, causing the door to slam open with a "BANG" and startling the class inside.

It wasn`t until Tsuna caught her breathe until she saw what was in front of her. She started to turn a completely different shade of red that would put Rudolph`s nose to shame when she saw it wasn't her classroom.

"Eh?" Tsunako cutely, (according to hormonal teens minds" catching the total attention of the teacher who was still cowering in fear from Hibari`s scary gaze.

"St-student? What are you doing here? Are you in this class?" the teacher asked suspiciously.

Tsuna then realized what happened. She was still a bit drowsy from her nap and had walked into class 2-B instead of 2-D .

"HIEEE! I`m so sorry sensei! I-I ran into the wrong cl-classroom!" Tsuna apologized wholeheartedly as she bowed down awkwardly to the teacher.

"Who`s that?"

"I dunno, she is an idiot? Who barges into another classroom like that."

"Wait, isn't that Dame-Tsuna?"

"ya, ya! That the infamous Dame-Tsuna!"

"Wasn't she the one who made the ruckus at lunch?"

The class murmured as the Vongola Gang registered what was happening.

'That's the herbivore?'

'Oya,Oya… what a fragile looking doll.'

'Zzzz…'

'Isn`t that Tsuna?'

"Hey! Yo Tsuna!" Yamamoto, realizing who saw was, yelled out from the back of the room.

"Eh! Ah, Yama-I-I mean, T-t-Takeshi-kun! Your h-here?" Tsuna glanced up quite quickly, causing her to stagger backwards, making the class snicker at her clumsiness.

"What`s up! What are you her for?" he asked back curiously, unknowingly hoping she was actually looking for him.

"Eto….ah! Gomenasai sensei! Sorry for intruding!" she quickly yelled out, running out of the wrong destination, leaving a quite curious Yamamoto hanging.

"That girl just ignored Yamamoto-kun!"

"What a lousy girl! Calling our Yamamoto-kun by his first name!"

The girls of Yamamoto`s fan club bickered at Tsuna's impression on them.

'Kufufufu…That little bunny left Takeshi hanging…What a first.'

'….Herbviore…I`ll bite to death for disrupting later...'

'The fuck was that.'

Yamamoto was quite surprised at Tsuna for leaving him hanging like that but soon got over it with a heartwarming laugh.

'Oh well, I`ll just talk to her later when I see her…'

But altogether, the other Vongola members thought, 'why didn't she notice us as well?'

The boys weren't being vain or anything, they were just surprised at how Tsuna was the first to enter their class without an excuse but to see the Vongola Gang. Plus Tsuna, except for Yamamoto who started the conversation with her, didn't notice the most wanted idols in the school were in the class.

~.~

Hibari decided to skip 7th period which was P.E and made his way to his favorite napping place-the rooftop. The reception and student council room was always packed with other students soo the rooftop was his actual only haven. When he wasn't with his gang, fighting, or making out with girls who threw themselves at him, he could be found napping at the rooftop.

When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was a school jacket in the middle of the gray flooring.

'What is this? He thought as he kicked it up in the air and caught it in his hands without any effort. He was about to give detention to the herbiviore who left its stupid jacket on his favorite spot to nap when he caught sight of the name tag,

'Sawada Tsunayoshi- Class 2-D'

"Wao…The herbivore has the courage to leave its jacket on my rooftop…I`ll deal with her." Hibari spoke like it was the most natural thing to say in this situation. But deep, deep, like really deep in his heart, he thought it`d be a good excuse to get a good look at what this herbivore was like.

As Tsuna ran in P.E, the last in the whole class, she suddenly sneezed…really hard.

Tsunako awoke to her buzzing alarm clock, which she for the 5th time this month, smashed onto the floor.

"HIEEEEEE! My alarm clock…" She picked up the now broken clanking metal, looking at the time, only to start freaking out.

"GAH! I`m late again!" She screamed before she pushed down her covers and jumped off the bed, only to land straight on her face.

In record time she took a shower, brushed her teeth, and put on her uniform. Her uniform consisted of a white dress shirt which a dark blue sweater vest covered. In front of the neck and attached to the dress shirt was a red loose ribbon which Tsunako wore quite modestly, not loosening it to reveal her cleavage.

The skirt was in a plaid design – black, red, and white, which came up to her knees, but it was usually covered by a light blue blazer that she tied around her waist.

She wore knee length white socks with black loafers and to top the uniform was an emblem, the shape of a diamond with an 'N' in bold red pinned to the vest near her left shoulder. She then stood in front of the mirror, what she did every morning, and stared at her waist length light brown hair.

"Just a bit longer," she whispered before she started to braid her hair into two long pigtail, trying the ends with 2 worn out orange scrunchies. She then tried to smooth down her bangs and the top of her hair, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop it from defying gravity.

When she was done, she ignored her hunger, grabbed her bag, and ran to the living room, stopping in front of 2 pictures of a handsome man and beautiful women.

"Mama, Papa…I`m going to school! …I`ll be back so stay well!"she whispered while she smiled in pain.

She then looked at her clock.

'8:20'

"Hieeee! School starts in 10 minutes!," and with that, she ran out of her apartment and arrived at the school, exactly at 8:30. But she was still late because on her way to class, she dropped her books in the hallways and nobody bothered to help her.

~.~

"Tsk, tsk, poor, poor Dame-Tsuna.~"Mariko mocked as she cornered Tsuna into the corner of the 3rd floor girl`s bathroom. "Making a fool of me at lunch yesterday, didn't think you would get away with that, right?"

Tsuna shivered in fear, her intuition screaming 'Danger, exreme Danger!'. She had been avoiding Mariok the whole day, being conscious of wherever or whoever she went or talked to. But she too had to go bathroom, so purposely she came to the 3rd floor girl`s bathroom, usually deserted during lunch. But because of bad luck, karma, or whatever it was, she had met the one and only person she didn`t want to meet.

"I`m r-really s-sorry about yes-yesterday." Tsunako managed to whisper out, her voice strained with fear. "J-just let me g-go this t-time, please."

The clique that always followed Mariko around wasn't there but was replaced by Mochida`s younger sister, Sumi, her most trusted follower.

"Mariko, why don`t we teach our Dame-Tsuna here a lesson for disrespecting the greatest person in Nami-gou." Sumi suggested, glaring intensely at Tsuna, who was staring at her shoes as if it would miraculously save her from the situation.

"What a good idea...grab her Sumi." Mariko commanded. Sumi immediately grabbed Tsuna`s hands from behind her and kneed the back of Tsuna`s knees, making her kneel down before Mariko.

Mariko then grabbed one of Tsunako`s waist length pig-tailed braids. "Hmm..Why is your hair so long? It`s time for a haircut!" Mariko then grabbed her swiss army knife that was unfortunately for Stuna, residing in her purse. The then pulled Tsuna`s pig tail and slashed it at the neck, making her silk soft hair become loose at the nape of her neck.

Tsuna's eyes widened in horror. "My…hair."

Mariko and Sumi laughed at this and snickered. Before Mariko could get hold of Tsuna's other pig-tail, she stood her quickly, surprising Sumi, resulting her to let go of Tsuna's arms.

Then without further ado, Tsuna pushed Mariko out of the way and ran out of the bathroom and into the hallways, but she didn't stop there. She kept running aimlessly to anywhere, somewhere far aaway from Mariko.

While running, Tsuna`s vision became blurry with tears of sadness and frustration. "Why can`t I stand up for myself!'

She quickly wiped them off with the back of her hand and soon came soon came to a halt for she was tired and breathing hard from the sudden exert of energy.

After sniffling and wiping off her tears, she looked around to see where she was. Once again, she was in front of the rooftop door but this time she entered without hesitation. She ran outside, the breezy air clashing against her tear stained cheeks.

Tsuna grabbed onto the rail and looked unto the horizon. 'I wish I could get rid of the pain.." She then gently touched her right side of the neck, where now was bare and the short hair tickled her hands. Grabbing her other full pig tail, she thought about her promise with her Onii-chan.

Flashback

"Giotto-nii! Please! D-Don`t go!" the ten year old pleaded, with her wide eyes, now filled with tears threatening to fall.

"Gomen ne, Tsuna….But i`ll be back soon," Giotto, the mysterious teen with radiant golden eye sreplied back with a caring and a bit strained voice.

"Onegai! Don`t g-go to that a-academy! Go to school with me!" She now yelled out desperately while grabbing onto his shirt.

Giotto knelt down and was knelt down to eye level with the small brunette.

"It`s only for a few years Tsuna, now I`ll be back, I promise." He replied, now with a bit strict voice but with the same caring eyes.

"Yaksoku? Honto ni? …Then Pinky Promise with me!" she replied now stopping her tears and held out her pinky. "But how long will I have to wait?"

"Hm…How about this…I`ll pinky promise I`ll be back by the time your hair grows longer." He replied and complied, chuckling at the brunette`s antics.

"How long? Like to my butt? That's realllly long!" Tsuna pondered and made a hand motion, stretching her arm horizontally to show the length.

"Yes…I`ll be back, so Tsuna, be good and wait."And that Tsuna looked at Giotto`s broad back, walking further and further away from her and her house.

Flashback ends

"…..Giotto-nii…." Tsuna then did what she hadn`t done in years…or ever since Giotto left. She started to sing.

Nothing I say comes out right, I can`t love without a fight, No one ever knows my name, when I pray for sun it rains.

Tsunako was quiet the first few words but then got the confidence to sing a bit louder and bolder, with determination.

I`m so sick of wasting time, but nothings moving in my mind, inspiration can`t be found, I get up and fall but, I`m Alive, I`m Alive, oh yeah

She remembered when Giotto-nii would always cheer her up after she came home after being bullied. He would always treat her to her favorite vanilla ice cream and would always tell her "But Tsuna, don`t give up because your alive…Your not died so you can always change."

That catchphrase would always get her hyped up and saying 'yep! I`m alive, Giotto-nii! And I will live my life."

Between the good and bad is where you`ll find me, reaching for heaven. I will fight, and I will sleep when I die, I live, my life, I`m Alive.

"Giotto-nii! Maybe we should make a song about being alive! You know, like what you always do with G-nii and uh… Apari? or something nii and everyone!" Tsuna suggested out of the blue during their ice-cream time.

"Haha...That's a good idea Tsuna, how should we do it?"

Every lover breaks my heart, and I know it from the start, still I end up in a mess, every time I second guess.

All my friends just run away, I`m having a bad day I would rather stay in bed, but I know there`s a reason.

"Ah! How about, 'I will fight, and I`ll sleep when I die!', that sounds rhymey-ish!"Tsuna yelled out while Giotto jolted down the notes. Giotto wondered where came up with these lyrics when she couldn`t even write properly.

"Nice."

Giotto and Tsuna had sleepovers, and ever time, they would stay up writing lyrics that didn`t apply to their own lives but had a fun time every time.

I`m alive, I`m alive~ oh yeah, between the good and bads where you`ll find me, reaching for heaven.

I will fight, and I`ll sleep when I die.

I live my life, I`m Alive!

Tsuna now, thinking and reflecting on her memories of this song, decided to sing louder and more confidently. 'I`m alive so it`s alright! So what if my hair is cut! I can always grow it out again… Besides, I have the other side…So there`s a 50% chance Giotto-nii might still comeback!

When I`m bored to death at home, and he won`t pick up the phone.

When I`m stuck in second place, those regrets I can`t erase.

Only I can change the end, of movie in my head.

There`s no time for misery, I won`t feel sorry for me.

I`m alive! I`m alive!~ oh yeah. Between the good and bad`s where you`ll find me, reaching for heaven.

I will fight, and I`ll sleep when I die, I live! My life! I`m Alive! I`m Alive! Oh yeah~

Between the good and bad`s where you`ll find me, reaching for heaven.

I will fight and I`ll sleep when I die.

I live my life~

I live my life~

I live my life~~

Tsuna then held the 'life' note in a high E-surprising even herself and then ended the song in a grand and loud voice that could want any music producer to get her to sing their songs.

I`m ALIVE!

Tsuna now breathe was slightly off and tired from the excess work out of her voice and vocal chords.

As she tried to get a hold of her breathe, she tried to listen to the winds and birds to calm down, but instead of the rustling of trees and the chirping of birds-she heard 4 comments from 4 different people.

"Oya, Oya"

"Haha! Bravo!"

"Che…brats good."

"Wao…"

Tsuna then turned around slowly in horror and when she saw 4 handsome boys, 1 that she knew and 3 strangers, she paled and turn ghostly.

Then she did what was completely normal for Tsuna to do in his situation…She fainted.

~.~
