Irregular Pieces (KHR fanfiction)

To Open Suspicious Doors

After so long, I'm finally back on track. Here's the edited chapter. Honestly, not much of a change...

. . .

Age 10

"Hinata-sama," the brunette called gently. "It is time for you to wake up."

"Shut up, Dame-Tsuna! I'm trying to sleep!" Hinata growled. In contrast to her retort, she slowly climbed off her bed. She pushed her long, golden hair aside and gave a sharp glare to the other.

"My sincerest apologies, however, I doubt you'd like your reputation tainted," Tsuna said monotonously.

"Of course!" Hinata scoffed. "At least you aren't completely stupid." She turned and went to do her morning routine. When she finished, she immediately barked an order. "Dame-Tsuna! Make me breakfast!"

"Breakfast has already been prepared," the other replied.

"Good. Now, I have a task for you before I go to school," she remarked with a smirk, eyeing the black limo that waited outside.

Ah, her parents were such mindless fools.

Tsuna nodded obediently. "I want you to go to that door Papa says not to open and investigate whatever may be hidden there. Should there be gold, you bring it to me, as always. Should there be jewelry, you bring it to me. Should there be anything valuable, you are never to keep, but to give to me. Understand?"

"Yes, Hinata-sama."

"Also, prepare your own school uniform after you're done. Get a boy's one. I don't want people recognizing you outside of school. Mama insists you at least have a 'proper education' like me. I don't get her. Why waste her time and effort with someone dame like you?" She shook her head before giving Tsuna a final glance. "Remember my orders and do not tell Mama or Papa that I told you to do this." Hinata quickly grabbed her bag and skipped to the limo. Sending a smug grin to her sister. In a cloud of smoke that shouldn't have been there, she disappeared.

. . .

Tsuna tucked her hair behind her ear nervously. Her other hand rested on the doorknob.

"Iemitsu-sama said never to open this..." she murmured to herself. She took a deep breath before finally accessing the door. She instinctively backed away as the door creaked. The room practically screamed DANGER. She then inched toward the door and was immediately welcomed with the prominent stench of air freshener.

Caramel eyes narrowing, she stalked inside.

Tsuna proceeded to inspect every corner of the room for anything of value, as per orders. So far, the only things she found were decapitated heads and dismembered limbs. Disgusting. Probably the reason for the air freshener.

She found a door that had been suspiciously locked. Not caring about getting in trouble, she viciously kicked the lock of the door and slammed the door open.

"Nufufufu...You were right, Giotto. Someone actually opened the door!" she saw a melon say to a golden bush of hair. Tsuna deadpanned.

And then, with strength that didn't seem possible for someone so small, she slammed the door shut, grabbing chains that seemingly appeared out of thin air to seal it again.

'Seriously....' "...a talking melon?!"

What the hell?!'

. . .

Yay! I'm back! And the chapter is basically the same! And I still don't have confidence in anything I do, so nothing's changed at all. Uh, well, thank you for reading!
