Chapter 4 of Step by Step

My Childhood Friend...?

Tsuna's dull brown eyes quickly fluttered open as she heard her alarm clock go off, she sighed while rolling over to her side to shut her annoying alarm clock off. She forced her strained body to sit up on her bed. She sighed and ran a hand through her messy uncapped creamy chocolate colored hair. Her eyes roamed over to the door beside her desk making her eyes slightly sad. But she reluctantly looked away from the door and went over to the bathroom to bathe

She sighed as she opened the faucet, she sat on the floor, watching the water flow down the faucet and into the bathtub. A yawn escaped her

Someone's sleepy

Shut up Inner, I'm in no mood to deal with a sarcastic you

Well sorry! sheesh, I just wanted to cheer you up from yesterday's incident.

Tsuna banged her head on the wall beside her head, she sighed. Yamamoto had already known about her secret and she had practically beggedhim to keep it a secret. And he, being a great friend, agreed but it didn't stop from Tsuna being careful. She couldn't trust too many people so fast, she didn't want to be tricked again.

She began to strip her clothes once the tub was full. She closed the faucet and a sigh escaped her lips as she sat in the tub, the hot water relaxing her stressed body. For the past week, she has been hit with the news of becoming a mafia boss and she already had two subordinates, Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi, Gokudera continued to call her Juudaime. While Yamamoto insisted that she calls him Takeshi like when they were younger.

She began to clean her body while talking to her Inner

"Ne Inner, I'm sorry for being rude a while ago" she apologized and could practically hear her Inner laugh at her

Don't worry about it, anyway, do you still remember the guy with teething problems yesterday?

The guy suddenly popped into her mind and she suddenly realized that he was wearing the Namimori Boys Uniform but it was slightly altered, there was no necktie and he wore tight black leather pants.

She shuddered when she remembered those cold eyes of the guy yet a small laugh escaped her

"Yeah, I remember him . . . He was weird, he carried tonfas and he kept calling me herbivore"

Sure he's weird but he's still hot, and what's your problem anyway? Why don't you like the guy?

Tsuna thought of many reasons why she didn't like him that much but she picked one and replied

"He kept calling me herbivore, it annoyed me, I'm not completely a vegetarian, I also eat meat so I'd rather he called me omnivore"

That's it?!

She heard her Inner laugh at her, slightly annoying which made her pout. She got out of the tub, grabbing a towel to cover her petite body. She ignored her Inner's continuos pestering about that guy, sure he was handsome but she wanted to get to know him if he was completely handsome, inside and out.

She checked her calendar, it was saturday and she had plans, she let a smile grace her face as she saw what was written below it and began to dress up.

Once she was done, she was wearing a white sphagetti strap camisole with a dark blue denim vest ,that was red on the inside, on top of the camisole. She wore denim shorts that reached her mid-thigh. A red belt to hold it in place.

She nodded her head once she realized she was already okay to go. But she quickly brushed her hair and just let it flow down until it reached her waist. She grabbed her hat, which was the usual 1800's hat for little boys.

She grabbed her bag and a pair of sunglasses to atleast conceal a part of her face. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror and went out of her room, locking it. She held onto her shades as she slowly and oh so carefully walked down the stairs.

She realized it was only Ten o'clock and thought it would be alright to atleast eat a small meal before going. She headed over to the kitchen to be met with three pairs of eyes.

One pair was confused, another was delightful while the last one was impassive.

Tsuna smiled at her mother's delighted face.

"Good Morning Mom" she greeted. Nana smiled back at her and suddenly her mother's eyes snapped open and ask her

"Is today the day?" Nana asked. Tsuna smiled and nodded "Yeah but I'm gonna have a snack before I go"

Tsuna said this while seating beside Reborn who was confused at her. His chameleon looked at her with an impassive face but stayed focus on the girl's bag. Tsuna noticing Leon's eyes looking at her bag, giggled and unhooked the keychain attached to her bag.

The keychain looked exactly looked Leon and was the same size. Leon looked happy when Tsuna gave him the keychain

"Here, you can have it" she smiled as she gave the keychain to him. Leon made a small happy sound as he cuddled with the keychain. Reborn seemed iritatted that his pet was all lovey-dovey with the unmovable thing

Tsuna smiled but quickly grabbed toast and placed a sunny side up egg on it. She placed another toast on top of it and began to eat her sunny side up sandwich. Reborn looked at her weirdly.

"Yum~" Tsuna purred as she finished her snack. She stood up and slinged over her sling bag. She gave her mother a kiss on the cheek and told Reborn

"Now Reborn, don't do anything evil today . . . I'm begging you!"

Reborn just smirked, he won't do anything evil today, well, whatever he was going to do today was bad but not evil.

"I'm going!" Tsuna announced as she slipped on her red ankle high converse.

"Ne Maman, where's Baka-Tsuki going?" Reborn curiously asked the girl's mother yet maintained an impassive face. Nana giggled at her daughter's nickname and replied

"Oh, she's gonna hang out with her sister"

Tsuna walked around the Town Plaza, getting several odd looks from people because of her hat and sunglasses. She lightly smiled. It felt good to dress up in the correct gender instead of dressing up like a crossdresser. In fact, she felt completely uncomfortable in boy's clothes, but she's been doing it for years! It's odd and she knows it.

She checked from store to store, searching for something or someone. And suddenly she stopped in front of a cake store. She softly laughed once she saw a familiar brunette inside of the store. She entered the shop, hearing a soft chime from the bell. She walked over to a table that consisted of two seats, one was occupied while the other was not.

She placed her hand on the table, surprising the person sitting on the table. Dark brown orbs stared into her lighter colored ones. She smiled kindly while removing her shades

"Waiting for someone Haru-chan?"

Tsuna sat with her friend, Miura Haru. The two girls began to chat about their life and on what the other missed when they weren't there.

"Eh?! Your a mafia Boss?!" Haru exclaimed making Tsuna sadly nod her head. The lighter haired brunette played with the spoon of her parfait.

Haru believed everything Tsuna said because the mafia boss had nothing to lie about. And it was obvious Tsuna was quite worried because her eyes were looking very dull. Haru sighed, she had been friends with this girl since the two were born and were accidentaly mistaken as sisters because the two always stuck together.

So, she believed everything she said, the part where Tsuna met Reborn to having subordinates.

"Anyway Haru-chan, I heard your in one of the elite schools of Japan, Midori Middle School, I presume?" Tsuna smiled as she saw Haru's face brighted once again when she mentioned her friend's school. She knew that Haru liked her school and can see that Haru's ego grew.

"Of course Tsuna-chan, I always succeed in what I want!" Haru exclaimed

"Oh yeah? what about the time when you wanted to become a police?" Tsuna joked

"That was one time! I swear! that man had it coming once I grabbed his gun!" Haru exclaimed as heat rose to her cheeks once she remembered that embarassing moment and suddenly a memory flashed in her mind

"Hey, remember the time when you tried to be a driver?"

Tsuna tried to search for that memory in her mind and this time,it was her cheeks to turn red this time

Tsuna-chan!"a six year old Haru called over to a five year old Tsuna. Six year old Haru looked the same but younger and more smaller. While five year old Tsuna had her long hair down.

Tsuna ran over to Haru and tripped on air. She fell on the grassy plain with a thud. Haru lauged as she ran over to her friend to help her up.

"You okay Tsuna-chan?" she asked. Tsuna wiped the tears that began to form in her eyes and slowly nodded her head. Haru smiled and helped Tsuna walk over to a shiny red object

Tsuna's doe brown orbs sparkled with delight.

"A-A car!" she exclaimed making Haru grin

"Yup, my Dad gave it to me as a gift for entering this Math school" Haru exclaimed as she patted the child car that was fit for four kids. Tsuna grinned as she opened the door and sat in the driver's seat.

"I'll drive Haru-chan!" Tsuna exclaimed, tiny hands on the stirring wheel. Haru also grinned and sat on the passenger's seat beside her.

"Yay!" Haru yelled out as Tsuna quickly hit the gas. The child car zoomed in the fields as Tsuna made a turn. The girls laughed maniacly as they enjoyed the wind that hit their faces.

Suddenly, Tsuna grew fearful

"Ne Haru-chan . . . I might hit a donkey" Tsuna said. Haru shook her head

"We're not gonna hit any donkeys! we're just gonna hit some bullies once you've mastered driving!"

But unfornunately, Tsuna was correct and had hit a donkey with the car. The car was repairable but not her shoe. Her shoe was eaten by the stupid donkey

Tsuna pointed at Haru

"That was one time and I'll never drive again!" she said, heat rushing to her cheeks. Tsuna glared at Haru as Haru did viceversa. As the two glared at each other, the two had blinked and laughed at each other

"HaHaHa!" The two laughed. The two wiped the tears that began to form at the corners of their eyes.

"Ha . . . Those were some good memories" Tsuna sighed as she finally ate her parfait. The sweet and fruity flavor immediately bursted in her mouth

"Remember Akise-kun?" Haru asked. Tsuna choked. Tsuna began to cough ,she quickly grabbed the glass of water and gulped down the cold yet refreshing water. Once she had calmed down, she had placed on an impassive look

". . . Of course . . . he . . . was always there for me when I needed him" Tsuna said, smiling a bit when she remembered her other childhood friend but she had immediately frowned

"Can we just skip the topic about him?" she pleaded. Haru just sighed as she had placed down the fork she had in her hand on her now empty plate.

"Fine" Haru muttered, disappointment taking over her eyes and mind. Tsuna also sighed and said

"Ne Haru-chan, Let's go to the park, I don't like this awkward silence anymore" Tsuna smiled. Haru just giggled at her friend's bluntness and nodded "Yeah" she replied

Tsuna and Haru stood up, Tsuna placed her shades down to cover her eyes as Haru fixed her own bonnet.

Haru stared at her friend, Tsuna, who was looking at the birds. Haru could see that Tsuna was listening to music making the darker haired brunette softly smile. She couldn't help but remember the time when she had first met Tsuna . . . and her other friend, Akise.

She couldn't help but feel jealous about the relationship those two had. They hadn't met when they were born but until they were two years old but Tsuna had met Akise when she was only one. Haru sighed, lightly shaking her head. She didn't like Akise, he was rude. He never talked and always stayed emotionless . . . it made her feel uneasy

But whenever Tsuna was around, the boy seem to change. His eyes weren't emotionless and full emotion. And he would smile at Tsuna . . . but to Haru, he would frown and snarl as if she had done something bad to him.

She shivered, those eyes of his. They haunted her nightmares for two weeks. But she relaxed and her brown eyes grew sad. Tsuna was the most brightest person she had ever met . . . Tsuna was never bullied back then . . . she was friends with everyone. But everything came crashing down in both Tsuna and Haru after what happened . . . after that incident

She was brought back to her thoughts once she saw two boys staring at Tsuna. One had silver hair and emerald eyes, a curious and iritatted look on his face. The other one had spiky black hair and yellow orbs. He tried his best to block the silver haired boy's view of Tsuna. No wonder the one with silver hair was iritatted.

She suddenly remembered what Tsuna had said about her friends. And she looked at the two teenage boys. They had awfully matched her description.

"Ha-hi! it's Gokudera and Yamamoto!" she whispered-yelled. She looked over at Tsuna and sighed. Of course, they wouldn't recognize her because of the cap and shades. She wiped the sweat off of her forehead. She walked over to Tsuna, trying her best not to gain notice from the two boys.

Once she had walked over to Tsuna, she had met a very panicked Tsuna. She sighed again and calmed her friend. And sweatdropped at the ideas her friend was coming up with

"Haru-chan! what if Gokudera-kun recognizes me?!" Tsuna exclaimed, flailing her hands in the air "He might bomb me to another dimension!" she said. Haru sweatdropped and placed her hands on her friend's shoulders and shook it, roughly. "Tsuna! snap out of it! He would do no such thing to you!" she said, snapping her fingers in front of Tsuna's face.

Tsuna shook her head and began to calm down. Haru was right, she wouldn't be recognized if she had her disguise on. She looked over at Haru with a small smile and thanked her for calming her down. Haru just gave her a smile as her reply.

Tsuna gently grabbed Haru's wrist and walked past Gokudera and Yamamoto. Gokudera noticed the two and looked at the lighter haired brunette with intense curiousity, he felt like he knew that girl but immediately shook his head, he didn't know that girl and have never seen her in his entire life. Yamamoto was also staring at Tsuna, he knew that the girl wearing shades was Tsuna. He was amazed at what Tsuna looked like in girl clothes. Heat crept up to his face as he looked away.

Haru giggled as she looked at the boys behind them, still staring Tsuna. She poked Tsuna at the side, gaining the lighter haired brunette's attention. She pointed behind her. Tsuna looked behind her and a blush formed on her cheeks before she quickly looked away. Haru stared at her friend for a while before giggling to herself, earning her a glare from the lighter haired brunette

Both of them walked around, pointing at several dessert stands. They both sat down on a grassy area under a cherryblossom tree. They stared at the sun that was about to set in a few more minutes. Haru checked her watch, it was close to 6 already.

"Ne Tsuna-chan" Haru said. When she recieved no reply, she looked to her right to see Tsuna intently looking at her

"Ne Haru-chan, how long has it been since we've been seperated?" Tsuna asked. Haru suddenly remembered, this was the first time they had seen or talk to each other in 7 years becaue of Haru's school. She had recently transfered back to Namimori once she had passed the transfer test, which took a whole year.

"Seven years" she replied. Tsuna sighed.

"Seven and a half actually"

Crying

Crying was all Tsuna could heard once the sun had disappeared. In it's place was a crescent moon and it looked beautiful. Surrounding the moon were twinkling stars that sparkled. Tsuna couldn't help but compare the sky to an ocean. It somehow resembled one another.

She looked over at Haru, and it looked like her darker haired friend could also hear it. The crying sounded very close so Tsuna peeked behind the tree to see an elderly woman. holding a very small bundle in her arms. Tsuna stood up from her seat and walked over to the elderly woman. She poked the woman's shoulder, startling the old. The woman stared at Tsuna with an apologetic smile.

"Gomenasai* my grandson is having a hard time sleeping since his mother isn't home yet" The grandmother said, her tone matching her smile. Tsuna could see the bags under her eyes which meant that the woman was also tired and was stressed. Tsuna pitied the older woman but she suddenly remembered something. She looked into her bag and pulled out something.

A small wooden baby pink box. Nothing unordinary from it except the pearl in the middle of the box. Tsuna pressed the pearl and out come a small hidden knob from the side. She began to twist the knob and once she stopped twisting, soft music came out of it.

The Music wasn't loud or quiet at all. It was soft yet anyone could hear it inside a 3 kilometer range.

The baby in the grandmother's arms began to calm down and make some sniffing noises, probably from his crying. The baby looked at the small music box and reached out his tiny hand, wanting to touch it.

But when the music stopped, everything was quiet, even the people who heard the music were silent. Tsuna made a sigh of relief, thinking the the baby was asleep, but unfornunately, the child wasn't even sleeping, his wide black eyes open and teary.

Then the baby began to cry again.

The Grandmother looked at her grandchild in worry. She knew of the child didn't sleep tonight,the child will have even more trouble sleeping once he ages.

Tsuna sighed and extended her arms she looked at the old lady and asked

"May I hold him?"

The old lady looked at her, she had to decide. To give her grandson to this stranger, who looked very suspicious in that cap and shades, the stranger might as well be a child-napper!

Tsuna sensing the woman's thoughts, took of her shades and hat, but looked around first, just to make sure that no one she knew was there. The old lady this time complied to her wishes and gave the baby to Tsuna, but she still kept an eye on the teenager.

Tsuna smiled and thanked the lady. She winded her music box again and cleared her throat. She began to remember the time when her parents left her alone with her younger sister in the house.

Her younger sister was still no more that a year old and hasn't learned to walk or talk yet. Tsuna listened to the starting music, cradling the child in her arms. And once the tune she was waiting for was there, she opened her mouth and sang

"Haru ni saku hana
Natsu hirogaru sora yo
Kokoro no naka ni
Kizamarete kirameku"

As she sang, people began to find the source of where the singing came from.

"Asa ni furu ame
Mado o tozasu hi ni mo
Mune ni afureru hikari wa
Kumo no ue

Yorokobi kanashimi
Subete idaite aruite iru
Watashi no te to
Kimi no te o
Tsuyoku tsunagu mono

Aki wa mizube ni
Fuyu kozue ni hisomu
Sekai no oku no
Kagirinai yasashisa

Yoru ga kuru tabi
Inori o sasageyou

Hohoemu you ni
Utau you ni
Hibiku kaze no oto

Yorokobi kanashimi
Subete idaite aruite iru
Watashi no te to
Kimi no te o
Tsuyoku tsunagu mono"

Tsuna made a silent yet deep breath once she had finished her singing. She looked over at the baby in her arms, who was already asleep. She smiled over to the grandmother and gavethe old lady a kind smile. She too got a kind smile as the woman waved at her while walking away with her grandchild.

Clap

Clap Clap

Clap Clap Clap

Tsuna immediately snapped her head towards the source of where the clapping came from. She snapped her head to look at a girl . . . a girl with very beautiful violet colored hair which intrigued Tsuna. The girl made a small smile, which brightened her abnormal purple eyes, before saying

"I . . . I like your singing" she murmured. Tsuna blinked but before she could say anything else. The girl had bowed and ran away.

"Hey! Wait!" Tsuna exclaimed, putting on her hat and shades before starting the chase. But before Tsuna could run after the strange girl. A hand had grabbed her arm. She looked behind her to stare Haru.

Haru had a piece of paper in her hand and a smile on her face

"It's late, we need to head home now" Haru said. Tsuna reluctantly nodded and walked away with Haru, staring at the piece of paper in Haru's hand.

Tsuna had already arrived home, waving at Haru who said that they would meet on Monday when they're going to school or going home. She had a small smile on her face and stared at the piece of paper that Haru had given her

"Nagi Wasagawa" she had pronounced the foreign name quite easily. She had remembered the strange girl in the park and thought that, that girl was Nagi Wasagawa. She hid the paper in her short pocket and entered the house

"I'm home!" she announced and kicked off her shoes and neatly placed them where there supposed to be placed. She removed the cap and shades before heading to the kitchen to say 'Hi' to her mother.

Nana looked cheery and asked if anything happened when she met Haru. Tsuna just shook her head and gave the small brown envelope in her bag to her mother. Nana opened the envelope and a smile plastered her face once she has seen the pictures that Haru had taken and developed on the way home.

She began to admire the pictures when Tsuna had managed to sneak out of the kitchen. This time, she had walked up to her room and slammed the door rather roughly and loudly. She tossed her hat to the side and placed her sunglasses on the nightstand. She placed her bag on the center table on her room and collapsed on the bed, tired from the day

"Ciaossu!" oh yeah, she forgot about Reborn. She looked up to look at Reborn and stared at him.

"Hi" she replied and placed her head back on the bed, completely aware that Reborn was walking over to her bed. She relaxed her body once Reborn sat down beside her head, a book in his arm

"I have a gift for you"

Holy Shit! Reborn has a gift! and it's for us! it's the end of the world!

Tsuna sweatdropped at her Inner and raised her eyebrow at Reborn

"O . . . kay, but what is it?" she questioned. Reborn smirked as he watched Tsuna sit up and lean against the headboard of the bed. He dropped the book on the bed

"This book" he simoly answered. Tsuna slowly and cautiously , I mean who wouldn't be cautious?, took the book and read the tittle

"'How to be a Mafia Boss?' Book: a book to teach newly mafia bosses" she said and looked at how many pages the book had

That's one fucking thick book

She heard her Inner say and guessed that the book was atleast 500 pages. She sighed an looked over at Reborn

"Finish this book in less than a week" he said and got off the bed. Before he was about to exit the room, Tsuna had said to him

"Goodnight Reborn! thanks for the . . . er . . . present?"

Reborn made a small smile and exited the room

Once Tsuna couldn't hear anymore footsteps, she locked the door, book in hand and headed towards the bathroom. Might as well read it while taking nice bubble bath no? she thouught
