'Ugh.. my head.. hurts.. but..'
The corner of his eyes twitched to the soft surface on the side of his head.
'But.. what is this that I'm laying on to..?'
As he fluttered his eyes open, he blinks to your smiling face.
"Good morning, Tsuna." You smiled.
He raised his eyebrows, then flinched when he realized he was leaning on your shoulder, and his left hand was on your right at that.
"HIIIIIII!!! RIE-RIEKKA???"
"Ah, good morning, Juudaime!"
He turned to Gokudera. "E-eh?? Gokudera-kun?"
"Yo. Tsuna."
He averted to Yamamoto. "Y-Yamamoto??"
"Gehehehe! I can see a lot of cars from here!"
"Lambo! Be quiet!"
"L-Lambo and I-pin too?"
He turned, and turned, looking at every corner of the seats in the bus. Starting from your back are Ceres and Giotto, followed by G and Ugetsu, Knuckle and Lampo, and at the last seat at the back was Daemon alone.
"Eh? Where is.."
"Ah, Alaude is within your cloud guardians' ring."
"I insisted him to come, which he gave out a negative respond at first, but thanks to Riekka.." Ceres giggled. "Her moe technique is really handy when it comes to this kind of matter."
"M-Moe.."
You smiled shyly. "Ehehe.."
'=////= Ah.. she is soo adorable..'
"T-then Hibari-san must have come along too. But.." Tsuna peek to the seat beside the driver's, which only seated by Giannini and Fuuta. "Where could he be?"
Yamamoto points upwards. "Up there ^^."
"HEEEHHH?? WH-WHA- ON THE BUS??"
"Very persistent, huh? He is just like Alaude." Tsuna sweat dropped as Knuckle chuckled like there is no care in the world about Hibari sleeping on top of the freaking bus.
When he realized it, at the back of his head is still painful. "Ouch.. it still hurts.."
"Sensei hit you so hard last night. Even if it's just a pillow.." You turned to your tutor and glared at him, looking back towards Tsuna again as you earned a smirk--more like a grin from Reborn.
"Well that's the only way to make that no-good boyfriend of yours to sleep."
"Sensei..!!"
"He kept on blushing and day dreaming pervy thoughts about you, so, in order to make it stop, I have no other choice to smack him on the head."
You pout. "He wont do that, Sensei!!"
Tsuna sweat dropped. 'It's true though.. but not perverted stuff..!!' He was just excited to go on a trip with you, so he couldn't help himself.
"My, my, Reborn-san. You better hold yourself from teasing there, because our Riekka is not happy about it." Ceres giggled as she pats on your shoulder. "Then..!" She clapped her hands together. "Where is our first destination would be?"
"Oho." Reborn clears his throat and grabbed the microphone at the same second. "We will go all over Japan in two days."
"What? All over Japan?? We wont be able to relax!"
"Okay, the first stop will be Nagoya!" Reborn points to his right. "Now, everyone, at your right is the Nagoya Castle."
"H-huh? Nagoya castle? It is more like a Vongola castle to me!"
You face palm to the shells all over the castle. "Giotto-sama.. that castle is..?"
"Ah, yes, indeed. It has vongolas decorated around the castle."
"No.. that is not what I meant ==.."
You twitched to the golden Leon on the top of the castle, and glared at Reborn's back. 'This is none other than your work, huh?'
"Alright!" Reborn hops down from the bus. "We will climb up and take picture on the roof, next to the Golden Leon."
"Uhn! Riekka-chan! Let's go and take the elevator!"
"Okay." You smiled as Kyoko and Haru grabbed your hands.
"But.. how about the guys?"
"Don't worry. They will take a special route to go up there."
Your eyes changed into slits. "Somehow.. I have a bad feeling about this.."
***
Giotto rests on his palm. "This really reminds me of my training in the mountains. Right, G?"
"Ah, the one that you left the mansion for a week and had made Ceres worried until she got a fever? Yes."
"Hahaha. Don't say that, G. Look, our Ceres is pale now." Knuckle pinched on Ceres's cheeks.
"Uh.. Knuckle-sama QAQ.."
"Yes, that too." Giotto pulls Ceres into a hug.
"Giotto-sama?"
"I'm sorry I've made you worried during that time, Aria."
"Oh great. They has started again." G rolls his eyes.
"It's alright.. as long as you were satisfied with your training, that's all that matters."
"I did it because I wanted to become strong for you, Aria."
"Hey."
"Aww.. Giotto-sama."
"Hey.."
"You are really adorable, Aria."
"I SAID HEY!"
Giotto and Ceres paused from their lovey dovey moments as G points to your pale face.
"Oh.. yes." Ceres giggled to the struggling Tsuna who hold onto the rope down below the castle's body.
"Juudaime! Just a little bit more!!"
"You can do it, Tsuna!"
"Do it to the extreme, Sawada!!"
Tsuna groaned to the cramping pain around his hands. "Ugh.. everyone.."
"If you fail we will barrel you to the sea, Tsuna."
"W-what??"
Reborn smirked as he put his hands on his hips. "You've finally get to travel with Riekka and do you really want to show her your weakness?"
"Tsuna-kun! Do your best!"
"Tsuna-san! You can do it!!"
"..." You start to shiver. "Tsuna.." You breathe in. "Tsuna..! Hang in there!"
He gulped to your rigid face and shaky voice. "Uh oh.. she's about to cry.. I must do this fast..!" Tsuna forced himself to move upwards, but when he was in the middle of the rope, he faced with 'You Miss' pink note.
"Hu-Huh? 'You Miss' what is thi-..GUAH!!!"
Then a boxing glove appeared out of nowhere and punched him directly on his face, sending him flying into the nearby pool.
Silent scream escaped your throat and you fainted in instant with an epic animated soul that fly out from your mouth.
"Wargh!! Ri-Riekka!!!"
Ceres quickly catch you before you fall. "Riekka!!"
"Hyaaa!! Riekka-chan!!"
---------------------------
"I'm sorry.. I should've rescue you instead of doing a dramatic faint scene there.."
"Ahahaha.. it's alright. I'm the one who should apologize.."
"Now, now, this cute couple, we have arrived at the second destination, Osaka."
"Oh. There's a Takoyaki over there." Lampo walks idly towards the Takoyaki shop.
"Thanks to Ceres's new power, we can be seen in the public."
"Yup. You are right." Knuckle snickered and pats on Ugetsu's shoulder. "Hey. Look over there." He points to the girls that were hovering around G.
"He is really famous, like last time."
"Indeed, he is..!"
"Psst. THAT, too." He points to Giotto, who was surrounded by girls, and Ceres, who was surrounded by men.
"Just like our time, huh?"
"Hmph." Alaude glared to the girls. "This is really annoying."
"My, it haven't change at all. It is like during our time in the past, Giotto-sama."
"Of course it wont change, Aria. Because you are beautiful and adorable, that is why all of the men couldn't help but to stare at you, which also, I'm included together with them."
"Aww.. Giotto-sama."
"But.."
You glances to Tsuna who was doing his 'part-time job' in the kitchen. Reborn told the guys to work on their own to earn money to eat. Where you couldn't bare to see his tired face.
"Sensei..! Stop bullying them already!"
"You can say this is another method of surviving if you are stranded in an island."
"This and that is different! Besides, this has nothing to do with stranded in an island or anything QAQ!!"
***
"Uhm.."
You sighed to the zombified Tsuna, Yamamoto, Ryohei, and Gokudera. Poor them. They did, earn their money, but your hitman tutor didn't give them a chance to even take a single bite of food at all. Ah, screw the rules of Vongola style trip. What's with 'Move the Corresponding Timetable' rules anyway? They are human beings, not a robot!!
"What should we do about them? Tsuna-kun and the others haven't eat anything at all."
"Not only that, Dino-san's turtle transformed into a big monster and stomped on them, and if it's not because of Riekka-chan that plead Reborn-chan to let Tsuna to come inside the bus, he would faint the whole journey!"
"It took a lot of method to plead Reborn-san to it.. really, how pity of Decimo-sama to be tied outside the bus in order for us to go all the way to Fukuoka." Ceres giggled to Giotto. "This is just like another previous training of yours, right?"
"Yes. In order for me to improve my stability of my dying will, I helped to carry a large vehicle like Decimo did." He chuckled.
"Woah..! It's like a Superman!"
He blinked to Haru. "Super.. man?"
"It's a hero from a comic! You should wear his costume next time...!" She beamed happily.
"It is better if you save him when that time comes." You nudged to Ceres.
"Ahahahaha ^^''.. Oh, and.. Riekka?"
"Hm?"
"I have a brilliant idea to reduce his fatigue..!"
"W-what is it?"
She glances to Tsuna and the others as she scoot closer and pulls the other girls next to her; whispering,
"Here, we will do like this.."
-------------------------
Tsuna tilt his head. "Vongola Hotel with Hot Spring?"
"Eee yup." Reborn lands on Yamamoto's shoulder. "We will stop here."
"O-okay.." Tsuna slides the door open, "Hi, we would like to stop here for tonight."
"Welcome. How nice of you to come here."
Tsuna blinks to the familiar voice, and jolted slightly as the person lifts up her head.
"I am the mistress of this Hotel. Bianchi."
"B-Bianchi??"
"Gahhh!! S-sister!!" Gokudera fainted in instant as he looked directly to Bianchi's face (Without her glasses of course).
"Uwah! Gokudera-kun! Bianchi! What are you doing here??"
Kyoko, Haru and I-pin lifted up their head in unison. "Welcome!"
"K-Kyoko-chan! Haru..! I-I-pin too?"
You pursed your lips, and immediately put the best smile on your face as you stepped out, "Welcome, Tsuna."
"Eh-" He gasped, blushing abruptly to your attire. "Riekka..? T-that yukata robe-"
Giotto parted his lips when Ceres stepped out next to you. "Welcome, everyone. Both of us are the head chefs for this hotel." She smiled, "How do I look, Giotto-sama?"
He pulled her hand. "You are amazingly beautiful, Aria."
"Oh, Giotto-sama..!"
G groaned. "...Oi."
"Uhm.. that's.." You pull up your sleeves. "This is actually Ceres's idea.. t-this is like a surprise to reduce your tiredness.."
"I-I see.."
"But.."
"Huh..?"
"I've always wanted to try this chef's yukata robe..! Isn't it nice?" You twirl around.
Little did you know, he was blushing like a cherry deep inside. 'Uwah.. Riekka is so cute..! I'm glad that I came..!'
"Uh.. uhn.. y-you are very cu-cute, Riekka."
"E-eh O///O??"
"Re-really.. You- are.." He gulped. "Cute."
"O/////O.."
"O/////O.."
"Noob coup-"
Ceres cupped Reborn's mouth. "You guys are probably tired, so you can take a bath while we prepare the dinner first..!"
"Have a nice bath, Tsuna."
He gulped again. 'Ahhh.. so cute..!'
***-Hot Spring time-***
"Uohh!! This is very nice to the extreme!!"
"Hm?" Yamamoto looks around when he realized something is missing. "Where are all the first guardians?"
"Oh, they are in the kitchen, together with Riekka and the others."
"Ahaha. I bet they can't wait to eat Riekka's delicious cooking, huh?"
"Yeah.. ahaha.." He scratched his cheeks, somehow he was proud to have someone that is really good in cooking as his wife--there goes his fantasy world again.
"But first, let us enjoy this hot, relaxing bath!"
"Yeah.. that's true. All of the tiredness this morning has gone in instant. Uh.." Tsuna sweat dropped to Gokudera. "Ahaha.. Gokudera-kun did not recover yet."
Tsuna automatically turned to his front as he heard splashing sound.
"Huh? There is a man with a long hair-"
"VOIIII! That's a good bath!!"
"H-Huh?? That's-..! SQUALO!!"
