Namimori Sports Day (part one)

Title: Namimori Sports Day
From: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Timeline: Present day

Part one: EEEEE!!!! Do I really have to do it????

"I'm seriously serious!!! I HAVE been seeing him always, but heck!!! I'm not dating him!!!!" Iratella sounded really upset.

"Oh, come on, Yukino~~ how can the both of you not be dating?? He's always so....not violent around you, don't you notice that???? We saw it with our own eyes!!!!!!" one of their classmates, Erika, was trying to persuade Iratella to spill the truth.

"Who in their right mind would actually date Hibari-senpai?? He's just extra concerned about Yuki-chan when she sprained her leg the other day~~ " Hanatsu tried her level best to protect the reputation of her precious lightning guardian.

Gokudera, Yamamoto and Tsuna came over to the DeVa's table to check out what was all the commotion about.

"Yo, minna, what's kickin' here?" Yamamoto said with his usual cheerful tone as he came over and gave a pat on Iratella's shoulder.

"Who should be kicked, you mean?" Michiru gave a cold stare at Yamamoto. But instead of feeling afraid, Yamamoto just gave a laugh.

"Hahahahh!!!!!! I don't play soccer~" Yamamoto gave an answer that was completely unconnected with his first question. The rest of 'em just looked at him with a drop of cold sweat.

"Erika thinks that Yuki-chan and Hibari-senpai are dating just because the other day they saw how Hibari-senpai helped Yuki-chan when she sprained her leg." Hanatsu explained with her ultimately convincing voice, hoping that they would back up for Iratella.

"Ah....Erika, we all know how Hibari-senpai hates to mix with people, right? He's just really concerned about Yukino-san~~" Tsuna knew very well on how Hibari treats people as he is, unfortunately, the most experienced one in knowing how scary Hibari can be.

"That's because we are part of the maf- ouch!!!!" Gokudera screamed.

"Hey, not here, not now, remember?" Iratella pinched Gokudera's hand.

"Ah, sorry....got a lil carried away....>w<" Gokudera tried to act innocent.

"Huh?? What was that all about??" Erika was confused about the conversation between Gokudera and Iratella.

"Do you really have to ask that?? Seriously, you're annoying...." Kaede who was busy indulging herself into her fantasy novel world finally cracked because she couldn't concentrate properly with Erika's countless questions for Iratella since the beginning of the day.

" *sigh* I'll really have to ask my parents to bring me back to Italy now......." Iratella just sighed.

"Hey, guys!!! We have some news for you from the office!!!!" Kyoko came back into the classroom looking extra excited along with Hana, who looked neutral, but you can tell that she's happy as well.

" The date for our school's annual sports day has been decided!!! It's gonna be...."

Hana and Kyoko annouced together, "17 April!!!!"

"WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!" The whole class exclaimed with exciment.

"Oh, noes...that's like only two months away~~~~" Tsuna began to worry. Sports isn't always his thing, as we all know.

Then, suddenly their mathematics teacher walked in.

"Yes, class, it will be on the 17 April. I can see that you are all excited." Mr. Honda was happy to see that they were all pumped up for the school's sports day.

"Not me!!!!" Tsuna said to himself in monologue.

"Oh, yay!!! I have been waiting for this day every year!!!" Iratella was excited for sports day.

"Easy for you to say!! You are our class's best sprinter!!" Tsuna quickly turned at Iratella with an extremely devastated face.

Iratella wasn't exactly sure whether she agrees with that statement, but she is actually very good in sprint. But, she isn't really active in sports as in school, she joins the dance club, choir club and the student council.

"Oh, one more thing...what are the four of you doing in here? Aren't you high school students??" the teacher asked.

"Uhh...we are...uhh...doing...a....survey~ yeah, a survey~ for our school project~ " Iratella tried to explain.

:Oh, really..? Well...that's a new type of project...very well...you can stay in here~ now, open your text books~~" the teacher just carried on teaching.

The four of them sighed with relief.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

After school, Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Iratella, Hanatsu, Kaede and Michiru stayed back for a little while to discuss on the school sports day. Tsuna was seriously freaking out now.

"What am I supposed to do??? This year, everyone is required to join the event!!!! You know how bad am I in sports, right???" Tsuna was walking in circles restlessly.

"Relax, juudaime!!!! I'm sure with your strong will as a boss, you can do anything!!! Besides, you're the 10th boss of Vongola, you can do anything!!!" Gokudera tried to cheer Tsuna up with a smile and gave Tsuna a pat on his shoulder. He sounded convincing, but that didn't help to calm Tsuna down.

"Oh, noes....what am I supposed to do....what am I supposed to do????" Tsuna began to freak out. He pulled his hair, showing his devastated facial expression.

"Don't worry, Tsuna. It will be very easy!!!!! You got the easiest event of all!!!!" Yamamoto gave a very convincing smile to Tsuna, but it still didn't managed to calm him down. Instead, he became even more worried.

"Ah....it WILL be easy for you guys~~you know how I suck it sports......I suck at it so much....I JUST CAN'T COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY KNOWING THAT I'LL EMBARESS MYSELF IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE SCHOOL!!! In front of Kyoko, especially....." Tsuna's voice trailed off softly and stares at the ground. He can imagine himself being embarressed in front of the whole school by falling flat on his face while he was running. He could even imagine how KYOKO would be laughing at him when he falls. "AHHH!!!!! It's just...TOO HARD for me to even think that I could actually take part in this year's sports day!!!!!!" Tsuna rubbed his messy hair even more.

"Come on, it's not gonna be that bad......or is it???" Hanatsu looked at Tsuna for one second, and turned to Yamamoto at the next.

"Oh, you wouldn't wanna know what happened during my elementary school years......hey, do you know tha-" Tsuna tried to shift their attention.

"Obviously, he's just running away from his sad, sad past~~" Michiru smirked at Tsuna.

"EEEEEE!!!!!!!!" The way Michiru glared at him just freaked him out the way Hibari does. No wonder they're assumed as siblings, he thought to himself.

Iratella couldn't stand any longer with the way they are trying to persuade Tsuna to participate in the sports day. "Oh, you guys are just plain useless......don't worry, Tsuna. We WILL  help you in your training, okay? And this time, EVERYONE will help you out." Iratella turned around at the rest of them as she finished her sentence. Sensing how serious Iratella was when she stated what's in her mind, they all kept quiet and pretended as if nothing happened. Kaede just sighed and continued to read her book that she started earlier during the day.

"Really??" Tsuna had sparkles in his eyes when he said that, proving that Iratella was just THAT convincing.

"It's really so nice to know that Iratella has the power to calm people's heart and convince them easily. Maybe that's how she always manages to talk with Xanxus and Hibari-senpai, without ever having to worry that she will be beaten up." Tsuna said to himself. He really feels so comfortable around her. But, in reality, he knows how much he still loves Kyoko and how much Dino and Iratella loves each other.

"So, you guys will definitely help to train Tsuna, right?" Iratella was hoping that everyone would help out.

"This sounds interesting! I think I should help out too!!" A familiar baby voice appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh, finally! Just when I was hoping for you to save me from this mess~" Iratella sighed with relief.

"Ciaossu!!" Reborn jumped into the window, clad in a blue sweater and sweatpants. Around his neck was a green whistle (Leon).

"R-Reborn!!! You were listening all this while?? And why are you dressed like some Olympic trainer???" Tsuna was definitely shocked (again) to see Reborn appearing out of nowhere, again.

"After hearing your little debate and Iratella's hard attempt to convince you guys-"

"Hey!!! How come you're supporting her?? Gokudera felt intimidated by Reborn's preferences to support Iratella rather than supporting Gokudera.

And without noticing, Gokudera's head recieved a big fan hit from Reborn.

"I decided to carry out a full training programme for Tsuna and all of you to prepare everyone for the upcoming sports day. Since it's your last year in junior high, you all should do your level best. And also, it's Tsuna's last year to leave a good impression in everyone, and also to erase his bad experience from everyone's memory." Reborn sounded very sacarstic. His words stabbed Tsuna right through his heart.

"Hmm....I seriously wonder what happened in his elementary school years......" Hanatsu began to wonders. "I bet you should know, right, Tella-chan? You can read people's mind ~" Hanatsu clings onto Iratella's hand.

"Uhh......I don't know....." Iratella tried to avoid Hanatsu so she doesn't have to tell the truth.

"So, it's set then! Training begins tomorow, everyday at 3pm til 7pm!! Location, school field!! Clear?" Reborn announced with no mercy.

"Fine with me, I'm kinda boring these days. But can I cut training if it clashes with my dance practice?" Iratella asks ever so normally.

"Since you have no problem in sports, I can allow you." Reborn agreed to Iratella's wish.

"But as for the rest of you, you are required to attend the training without any complaints." Reborn seriously sounded serious yet sacarstic.

"What???? How can you give an exception for only her????" Gokudera really snapped this time.

"Because Iratella has already gone through a series of training with me before back in Italy. Didn't you remember, Gokudera? She was training like hell, but she never uttered a single complaint. She finished her training with ease. And you guys just have to complain WAY before the training even started." Reborn threw a duster at Gokudera and Tsuna's head.

"Ouch!!!!" Tsuna was hit right in the head by the duster.

"So, get a good night rest tonight. We shall start our training tomorrow. Ciao ciao~~ " then Reborn jumped out and disappeared from sight.

"Guess we have no choice, eh?" Yamamoto chuckled with delight.

"Shee-ah-dap, you baseball idiot...." Gokudera was pissed off.

"Nee, Iratella-san....how was Reborn's training back when you are young...?" Tsuna was eager to know because he was, well, as usual, afraid on how Reborn's training would be.

"Well...it's not far different from your training for your fight against Xanxus last time. I'm kinda used to those type of training, actually." Iratella then finished her sentence with a smile.

"Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! You mean I have to go through those type of training again????" Tsuna snapped.

"Maybe not as terrible as that.....but maybe no less that our training for preparations against Byakuran...." Iratella tried to recall the past.

"That's even terrible!!!!!" Tsuna really started to freak out.

"You know what, let's juts go home now and get some rest. Reborn's gonna torture all of us from tomorrow onwards. And heck, it's a two-month training period." Gokudera decided to leave early so that he can take his mind off the whole training thing.

"Hayato's right. We should all go home and rest first. We'll never know how Reborn would train us tomorrow." Hanatsu agreed.

"Whatever. Can I not involve myself in this?" Michiru decided to leave early.

"Whatever suits you best then. No one's forcing you." Iratella just looked at Michiru.

"So....what the heck am I supposed to do now?????" Tsuna cried out loud as he walked out of the classroom along with everyone else.
