"Say what?"
Reborn jumped up and gave him a spinning kick across his cheek "Don't make me repeat myself, Dame-Tsuna" "Reborn!" Tsuna shouted in an exasperated tone. He wasn't even surprised that he got kicked anymore. "Jyuudaime! Are you alright?" his all faithful right hand man rushed to his side."I'll only repeat this once. Listen properly" Reborn spoke, ignoring Gokudera "I want you to find out everything about Yamamoto Himeka. Everything."
"How am I supposed to do that?" Tsuna groaned. Reborn was always giving him the hardest and most impossible tasks to handle. "Ahaha, that'll be hard! Even I don't much about Himeka!" Yamamoto laughed. Reborn smirked "I know. That's why I've asked someone to help you." Tsuna blinked in surprise "Help?"
Right then, his bedroom door opened slightly. Fuuta peeked his head in with a smile "Tsuna-nii?" "Fuuta?" Tsuna exclaimed in disbelief. "Reborn! How is Fuuta supposed to help us find out about Himeka-san?" Reborn smirked again "I'll give hint. What is Fuuta's specialty?" "Huh? Specialty? How am I supposed to-" he paused before his eyes widened "Ranking?"
"That's right" Reborn said. "Please! Fuuta, please help us rank Himeka-san!" Tsuna begged as he pressed his palms together and bowed slightly in a pleading way. "Oh, ranking huh? Sounds interesting" Yamamoto laughed. "Jyuudaime! Oi, you! How could you make Jyuudaime beg you?" Gokudera glared at Fuuta. "W-wait, Gokudera, calm down!" Tsuna shouted. Fuuta smiled "Its alright, Tsuna-nii, I'll help you." "Really? Thank you!" Tsuna smiled in relief. Fuuta nodded with a smile as he entered the room.
"Ah, but, do have a photo of Himeka-nee? I need to look in to the eyes of someone in order to make an accurate ranking. If she isn't here, then at least I need a photo..." Fuuta asked in his childlike voice. "I have it!" Yamamoto grinned as he took out his wallet a slipped out a small photo of him and her. "Eh, is this Himeka-san and Yamamoto?" Tsuna questioned as he glanced at the photo. Yamamoto stood next in there grinning while Himeka simply seemed bored. "Yeah! Dad made us take it the day before. Sort of like to celebrate her return!" Yamamoto laughed.
"Can I see it?" Fuuta asked as he stretched his hands out for the photo. Tsuna nodded as he handed it to him. Fuuta scanned the photo for a while before nodding with a smile "This should work." "Then hurry up! Don't make Jyuudaime wait! Ranking kid!" Gokudera demanded. Tsuna sweatdropped. Fuuta nodded.
"I can hear you, Ranking Star" Fuuta whispered as his eyes became distant. Tsuna sweatdropped lightly as his stuff began floating. Oh yeah.. I forgot this woud happen... Fuuta glanced down once more at the photo before he looked up and began reciting out "Himeka-nee ranks No. 1 among the other freelance assassins in the 'Assasins that actually stand a chance to defeat Reborn, the strongest Hitman' ranking." Tsuna's eyes went wide as he recaled the time they fought against Reborn in the Arcobaleno's trial "S-s-seriously?" "I guess she's not as simple as she looks" Reborn spoke with a contemplating look as he narrowed his eyes. She doesn't even look simple!
"S-she's that strong?" Gokudera fell back in shock. Yamamoto stared at Reborn in surprise "Strong enough to win the kid? Uah.. Himeka sure is amazing.." Fuuta nodded before continuing "Himeka-san also ranks No. 1 in the 'Strongest ever Sword Empresses" ranking." "Wha? She's a sword Empress? Does that mean she's the same as Varia's Squalo?" Tsuna cried in disbelief. This was getting from shocking to even more shocking. "Yeah. I did a little of my own research too. Turns out that she defeated the last Sword Empress 2 years ago, when she was 12 in Italy" Reborn stated.
"E-eh? At 12? She's amazing!" Tsuna shouted. "Wait!" Tsuna turned to face his rain guardian "Himeka-san knows how to use a sword?" Yamamoto nodded with a smile "Yeah! Unlike me who actually gets a choice to decide whether I want to learn it or not, Himeka has been taught the Shigure Soen Ryu since she was young. Since I'm adopted." "Eh? Does that mean that Yamamoto , you didn't choose to learn it when you were young?" Tsuna questioned. Yamamoto grinned "Yeah! Because at that time I was still learning how to play baseball. If I took up the Shigure Soen Ryu, I wouldn't have enough time to practice"
"I-I see.." Tsuna said. "Oi Yamamoto" Reborn called. "What? Kid?" Yamamot asked with a grin. "If Himeka knew the Shigure Soen Ryu, she must have a ninth form in which she developed herself, right?" Yamamoto blinked before laughing "Ahaha! I guess so."
"But.. Himeka-nee is also rank No. 2 among all the 607 swordsman in the "Most Stubborn Swordsman that hates using swords to fight to the very core" ranking" Fuuta stated. "Eh? Is that so?" Tsuna questioned. Yamamoto nodded with a sad smile "Yeah. Right before Himeka left for Italy, she threw her own Shigure Kintoki that she had been given since birth into the trash bin."
Tsuna's eyes went wide "She did that?" "Yeah.. Of course, I picked it up immediately after that and sent it to her apartment in Italy . Though I'm not sure if she still has it right now..." Yamamoto spoke with the same spiritless smile. "Hmm.." Reborn said as he pushed he fedora down "Anyway, let Fuuta continue!"
"Y-yeah, please, Fuuta" Tsuna said. Fuuta nodded slowly before continuing "Himeka-nee's chains is ranked no.5 in the 'Strongest weapons that can withstand and prevent Deathperation flames" Come to think.. the last time at the Sushi shop...
~~**Flashback**~~
Himeka held the chains with a firm grip in her left fist as she smirked at Mammon "You annoy me. Would you like to die?"
Mist flames lit up around the chains as quick as it flickered and disappeared away. Himeka's smirk remained in place as she stared at the illusionist currently under her grasp "Don't bother trying. My chains are special. Your mist flames won't work. Right now, you are nothing but a useless baby"
~~**Flashback**~~
She did say that... Tsuna thought.
"What else? Fuuta" Reborn asked. Fuuta nodded lightly and began once again "Himeka-nee ranks no.1 among all the females in the world in the "Most Cute and Angel-like Girl when smiling" ranking" "Heh? Really? I kinda wanna see it now.." Yamamoto laughed. Tsuna's jaw fell "Yamamoto! Don't tell me you've never seen her smile?" Yamamoto blinked before laughing "Oops! Look like I've been found out. Hahaha! Well, Himeka rarely shows any emotions besides her smirks. I don't think that my old man has seen it before either!"
Seriously?
Fuuta nodded "Himeka-nee also ranks no.4 in the "Top Most Impossible people to smile oftenly" ranking." "Its the least expected of an hitman" Reborn nodded. She's not even a hitman! She's an assassin! "Himeka-nee also ranks as no. 1 in the "Most suitable to be Tsuna-nii's Hail Guardian" ranking" Fuuta stated.
Reborn smirked "Look like we weren't wrong to choose her." We? You made that decision completely by yourself! "I can't! You're the only one who can be my Hail Guardian!" Reborn recited with a smirk as though reading his thoughts "Who was the one who said that?" Tsuna sweatdropped, having nothing to say.
"Himeka-nee's favourite food ranking no.1 is Strawberry flavoured Pocky" Fuuta said. Yamamoto blinked "Is that so? I gave her some when we were young but she threw it away..." Fuuta nodded "Himeka-nee's "Top People whom she would accept pocky from" is... Hibari Kyouya"
Tsuna froze. "H-hibari-san?" he shouted in disbelief.
"Looks like we need to research into Himeka and Hibari's relationship" Reborn stated. N-no way! Why Hibari-san? That cold and scary Hibari-san?
"How rude.. I would prefer if you didn't stick your nose in my privacy that easily" a familiar voice broke through his thoughts. Tsuna spun around, eyes widening at the sight of Himeka standing in front of his bedroom door "W-why are you here?"
Himake sighed as she stretched her hand out towards him, the Hail Vongola Ring in it "I came to return this. I can't believe it slipped my mind for two full days." "That's yours. Even if you return it, Tsuna won't accept it" Reborn stated. "I don't care. I'll make you take it back even if it means having to force you to swallow it" Himeka glared at Tsuna. "H-HIEEE?" Tsuna shrieked in fear. She's scary!
"But, if you hold on to that, you'll get to fight the Varia" Reborn stated. Wait, WHAT? "What do you mean by that? Reborn!" Tsuna shouted. Reborn smirked "I received a call from the Ninth this morning. In a few days, three members of the Varia would be chosen to fight against your Hail Guardian candidate. If she wins, she'll officially become your Guardian."
So that's what he meant by 'proving her worth' in the letter..
"W-wait! That means the Varia are really coming?" Tsuna exclaimed. Reborn smacked him on the head "Stop shrieking like a girl. You are the Vongola Decimo" "Answer my question!" Tsuna demanded only to be smacked again "Don't order me around! Dame-Tsuna"
"The Varia are already here. They were ordered to fly to Japan the moment the letter was sent to you" Reborn stated. No way.. So thats Mammon was at the Sushi shop that day!
Himeka eyed the ring in her hand for a while before raising her eyebrows at Reborn "Does that mean I get to kill that stupid illusionist from that day?" Reborn nodded "There is a possibility of Mamon being chosen to be your opponent." Himeka smirked "Interesting.."
"Vongola Decimo" she called. "H-hai?" Tsuna asked. Himeka smirked at him "The Hail Ring.. I'll keep it for the time being.."
With that, she left.
Tsuna sweatdropped. She's just like Hibari-san!
Hoshizora : I was watching KHR's 6th opening when I realised Tsuna looks SOOO cool in the first part of the song! He was wearing a suit! And in his Hyper Dying WIll mode! The sight of it made my heart go : pound! pound! pound! at the speed of light!
