"Hey girl, wanna go grab some coffee for tea after this?" Ryuuichi felt like puking. He couldn't believe it. Shamal is actually hitting on him. Maybe because the erted doctor could feel the inner female- Nope. No. Stop. That's disgusting. He currently had his back facing Shamal. Apparently, he had became the school's doctor, and had cured Tsuna from his skull disease. Ryuuichi was getting some bandages from the empty infirmary. 

He had accidentally hit himself on the left elbow at a door, and it was bleeding, so he wanted to wrap it up to avoid getting infection. Shamal, who probably went out to hit on someone, suddenly came in. He was busy fumbling with the bandages with one hand and didn't noticed the erted doctor until his arms were grabbed. He almost elbowed him in the gut out of reflexes if not for his injury. 

Seriously, is the doctor blinded? Can't he see him in a male's uniform? Ok. From now on, he will(Secretly) call Shamal erted Blind Doctor. He turned around and gave the doctor a good shock, having a deadpanned face on. "Shamal-san. Please get your eyes checked"

He watched the doctor in glee as Shamal shuddered in disgust at the fact he had touched a male. "Ryuuichi?" He turned towards the other side and saw Reborn standing by the door before jumping up on a table. "You're injured?" 

"Accidentally hit the edge of a door" Ryuuichi paid no mind at the two and continued to fumble with the bandages. Shamal, who couldn't stand watching him like struggle, let out an exaggerated sigh. He went and offered help, much to his own dismay. He wondered what was wrong with him, to help a male student. A male!!

The teen raised an eyebrow at him. "Wow. It's not everyday you see the womanizer who claimed that he doesn't help guys slash hitman helping a guy" Shamal was thrown away. He turned towards Reborn in shock, eyes wide. "He knew?!" Reborn nodded. He couldn't believe that his guy who looked like a girl(Seriously, Shamal. Get your eyes checked) knew about the mafias stuff and all.

Ryuuichi smirked. "I knew a lot more than you could ever think of, Shamal-san" He moved his arms slightly when Shamal's done, and nodded, satisfied. He stood up and walked away. "Thanks"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dino couldn't believe it. He wanted to shout out loud at Reborn and cuss him. 'Why the hell did he get Ryuuichi involved in this?!??!' He, Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto had when to the Mountain of Death, forced by Reborn, apparently who was training his little(self proclaimed) brother.

He and Reborn was sitting by a kotatsu that emerged out of nowhere, eating mandarin oranges while watching Tsuna's so called training, who was tied up on a rock, under a water fall. Ryuuichi than suddenly popped out, claiming that Reborn was the one who called him. He didn't have a problem with that at first, but when a large Enzo came into the picture, well, let's just say everything went down hill from there. 

They ended up getting lost in the forest after trying to run away from the giant turtle. And Dino was panicking when Ryuuichi got injured. For some reason, after their meeting the first time and a few more afterwards, Dino had a sense of protectiveness over the teen. Ryuuichi gave him a feeling of someone who needed to be protected, yet he did not. His mixed feelings got the best of him and he was beyond frustrated. At first he thought that the cause is because of the secret and promise he had not said, but overtime(Even though it's only like two to four meetings with him), he realized that it wasn't because of it.

Ryuuichi watched the Cavallone boss, who was so deep in his thoughts and was pulling on his hair, with a raised eyebrow. He wondered why the hell Dino was acting like that. Not to mention he was quite clinging every time they met. Once he bumped into him on the streets while Ryuuichi was buying something, alone, and he had stuck to him the whole day til he goes home.

He was about to tap the taller male's shoulder because he wasn't listening to him when pain shot through his body. His left arm collided with a tree when all of them fall down from the bridge, probably swollen right now. Not to mention he just had his left elbow injured recently. Fortunately, he still can move them, meaning it wasn't broken. He sighed in relief, but jolted when Dino suddenly grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong?" 

He shot him a glare and tugged back his arm, cradling it. "It's nothing" Reborn, who was sitting on a tree's branch intervened. "It's not 'Nothing', right? You're injured. Not to mention you just got your elbow injured recently" Ryuuichi cluck his tongue. Everyone immediately gathered near him, asking whether he's alright.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You guys are too near!!"

At that, they all backed up a little, not wanting to discomfort the teen further. Ryuuichi experimentally rolled his shoulders and rotated his arm slightly. The pain subsided a little afterwards. He sighed when Reborn suddenly suggested that they would stay for a night in the forest, seeing that they do not know the way back and it's getting dark. Bull . Reborn clearly knows the way back. He just wanted to mess with them.

Along the way, they reached a cave, and guess who popped out? Bianchi. Gokudera who saw his sister immediately fell, stomach churning. Apparently she was collecting poisonous mushroom and got lost, though she denied it. 

Ryuuichi sighed, tired of all these commotions. "Kyoko-san, Haru-san, I-pin, Lambo" He simply called out, and the four of them popped out from the cave. He simply just knew it. Silently, he wondered why were they always involved. 

Dino, who immediately fell into boss mode, ordered everyone to collect branches, saying to make a fire as a SOS signal and to ward of animals. When he saw Ryuuichi who was going to help, bent down and grab the few branches and twigs on the ground, he immediately stopped him. "Ryuuichi. It's ok! You can just rest by the side"

The teen raised an eyebrow "Dude. I'm injured. Not crippled" He simply gathered them anyway, ignoring the blonde. After they gathered a whole bunch of stuffs that could be burn, Gokudera immediately offered to light it up with his dynamites. Curse Bianchi for suddenly making him turn to her. He accidentally threw the dynamites and ended up with a forest fire. Lambo, who panicked, threw his grenades everywhere, making their only exit through the cave sealed up. Tsuna to the rescue!!

For the nth times, he sighed. He simply stood near the cave and watched everyone panicked. Tsuna ended up digging up a water vein, resulting a small rain over them and they, soaked. Fortunately, the fire was put out. Unfortunately, a giant sized Enzo appeared!! Probably because of the water.

Conclusion, Tsuna getting squashed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryuuichi had brought two bouquets of sunflowers and was in the hospital. No, he wasn't injured or anything. He was visiting Tsuna. That brunette ended up in the hospital after he was flatten by the turtle in the Mountain of Death. Sometimes Ryuuichi wondered why did he put up with their antics. Oh wait. It's because he needed answer. But that still doesn't mean that he has to follow them.

He first visited Tsuna and was very amused. Apparently he came at the right time where the brunette changed to a private room. All because of Dino. Who else? 

"Here. Hope you have a quick recovery" He gave one of the bouquets he had brought to the brunette, with a soft smile. Tsuna thanked him, and question why did he had another one. He simply smirked at him. "Oh you'll know a little later" His amusement piked up when he could see Tsuna shuddering a little because of his smirk. He chuckled and left. "See you a little later, Tsunayoshi"

Ryuuichi went to the waiting room, and put on his headphone, silencing whatever commotion would happen later. He took out his phone and played with it a little. He simply spent his time on his phone while listening to random songs as loud explosions and shouts resonated through the whole hospital. Decided that it's time, he pushed down his headphone and let it rest on his shoulders, stood up from the sofa in the waiting room and walked to a certain prefect's hospital room.

Really, his timing was really great. He managed to appear exactly the same time Tsuna was 'bitten to death' by Hibari. He leaned on the door frame. "Hibari, that's enough" He gave a loop sided smile for the raven head teen when he finally stopped. "Yo" 

Hibari raised an eyebrow. It wasn't everyday you could see Ryuuichi when it's not a school day. He saw a bouquet on his hand and asked. "What is that?" 

Ryuuichi chuckled. He simply walked into the room, and place the flowers on the table beside Hibari's bed. A few nurses immediately came in and took Tsuna away. He silently sympathized the poor brunette, a little worried too. "It's a gift for you." He walked towards a plastic chair, dragged it near Hibari's bed and sat down. "You're still recovering aren't you?" He didn't gave the prefect a chance to retort and patted the bed. 

"Come on." A tonfa was about to hit him on the head, luckily he dodged. "I don't take orders from anyone" He sighed, already knew that the prefect would say that. "I don't order people. I merely request" It's quite true. Ryuuichi never liked to be ordered, or ordering as the matter of fact. So every time he told someone to do something, it was always as a request. He would never force them to follow it, unless it's necessary, of course.

Hibari smirked. "Is that so?" Surprisingly, he obediently went to bed, except, he had pulled Ryuuichi onto it too. "I'm going to sleep now. I'll bite you to death if you dare to move away" His smirk only got larger when the teen protested, saying something about him needing to go home. He slowly drifted to sleep, ignoring the struggling teen and kept a vice grip on him. He vaguely heard his body pillow said that he'll go home in the evening no matter what, promptly had given up.

For once, Hibari didn't mind physical contact, if you're called Shiroki Ryuuichi of course. If not, you'll be bitten to death.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuuichi was debating whether to skip school or not. Why did this day exist? 14th February. Valentine's Day. The day where he had to run away from squealing girls and all. The fact that he is a basketball star didn't help either, not that he wanted to brag. His twin brother weren't having it better. Ryuuichi was one of the people who couldn't say no to anyone. Even if he did, people would bring out the big guns. Puppy eyes. It was a way to make him succumb, and it always sucessful.

Suddenly, Yuuichii felt better. At least he could say no and can tolerate the puppy eyes.

In the end, they went to school anyway. Ryuuichi had insisted on going. He wasn't going to skip classes just to avoid this blasted day. It shouldn't be bad, right?

Wrong!

Just as the twins changed into their indoor shoes, chocolates fell out of it. Basically quite full(A teacher who was passing by, somehow had predicted it and gave them two plastic bags) Once they had all of it filled in the bags, they went to class. When they got into it, girls suddenly surrounded them, asking them to accept their chocolates. The bags ended up full by the time their teacher came into the class.

The twins waited for the first half of classes to pass and right when the recess bell rang, the two immediately ran out of classroom, bags in tow and begun their hide and seek with the girls, only, there's a lot of seekers. They were only running for like 2 minutes and girls were already hot on their tails. On the way, they saw Yamamoto, Gokudera and Tsuna, whom the taller two were surrounded by girls too. They exchanged look before Ryuuichi said. "You grab Yamamoto. I'll grab Gokudera and Tsunayoshi"

They zoomed pass them, and dragged the trio along, resulting more girls chasing them.

Seeing that they couldn't outrun the girls, Ryuuichi lead them to a certain place, where no girls would dare to come. The reception room. Hibari should be in there and he can keep the girls away from them. 

"HIBARI!!! HELP!!!" Ryuuichi slammed open the door and pushed Yuuichi and Tsuna and his guardian inside the room and slammed the door close one he was inside, locking the door. He and Yuuichi immediately fell onto the ground, exhausted. Gokudera and Yamamoto thanked them, while Tsuna wondered why was he dragged too.

"Small animal.... What is the meaning of this" There you go, Hibari in all his glory, fighting stance on and tonfa ready to strike anyone. Ryuuichi sheepishly scratched the back of his head "Let us hide here before the bell rings? Please?"

The two had a staring contest for a while, before Hibari huffed, when back to his paper works. "Do as you please." The others were shocked, wondering how did the teen managed to tame the wild beast "But if you're noisy...." A glare was shot to them "I'll bite you all to death"

Well, let's just hope that they could get home unscathed.(Probably not)

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

"Shiroki Ryuuichi. Strength ranked 297. Intelligent ranked 19. Mental strength ranked 10." Ryuuichi blinked. Right in front of him sat Fuuta De La Stella. The nine years old kid suddenly ranked him when he walked into Tsuna's room. He turned towards Reborn in questioning. "Did you told him to rank me?"

He could see the amusement twinkling in Reborn's eyes. "Oh? You know about Fuuta?" Well, he didn't mind anyway. He was a bit curious anyway. He waited for Fuuta to finish writing in his book before patting him on the head. "Hello, kiddo" He smiled warmly at him. He didn't realized that he had a soft spot for the little boy until he personally meet him. 

Fuuta felt the warm hand on his head and felt a familiar feeling bubbling in him. He unconsciously leaned in to the hand and smiled brightly at him. Haru then suddenly waltzed in and asked him to rank her, and Reborn next. Tsuna sat beside Ryuuichi who was laughing, with a disbelieved look at his rankings.

Ryuuichi really had a great laugh. Fuuta's Ranking on Reborn's is so out of the world that he couldn't help but die internally. And then Gokudera suddenly popped out along with Yamamoto and got ranked. It was all so hilarious that he thought his stomach was going to explode. He looked out the window and saw rain drops falling. And Bianchi's appearance didn't helped either. His mother hen mode immediately went off when Fuuta felt terrible. He immediately place him on Tsuna's bed and covered him with the blanket. 

"There's a theory that Fuuta's communication with the ranking planet will be interrupted when it rains. So his ranking will be a bunch of nonsensical stuff"

Ryuuichi chuckled at Tsuna's face. Seriously, a lot of them seems to like messing around with Tsuna no matter how you see it. 'Fuuta will get captured...' "Reborn. Do you have a bow and arrow? I need to borrow it" 

Reborn raised an eyebrow. Why did the teen wanted to borrow something like that? Nonetheless, took out what Ryuuichi needed and gave it to him. Please don't ask him where did he got such thing out of nowhere. Just, don't.

Gokudera, Yamamoto and Tsuna exchanged a weird-out look, wondering why he needed them. Haru, well, was just being Haru, but she was the one who spotted a loads of men in black, holding umbrellas outside Tsuna's house. Gokudera went into action and spied them. "They're from the Todd Family"

Tsuna couldn't help but get a little angry. Why must a kid like Fuuta get involved in such a dangerous world like mafia? It's not just Fuuta, Lambo and I-pin too. He and the others discussed about how to help Fuuta and didn't notice that Ryuuichi and Bianchi had walked off. Bianchi went out of the front, and walked away without a word while Ryuuichi, who was behind her walked towards the direction of the park, where Fuuta and Tsuna will be later on. He glared at the men, who shivered. "I'll personally skin anyone of you alive if you dare to even think about him after this" He said in Italian. The men didn't managed to shoot back at him, he already disappeared, the bow and arrow he borrowed in tow.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryuuichi sighed. 'Why did I hid up on this tree again...?' He was slowly questioning his sanity. Ever since he got closer to the others, he had been doing tonnes of stuff that he thought he would never do. For example, waltzing into the mountain of death like no ones' business, and promptly almost killed himself in the process. Luckily he only injured his left arm, which elbow's already injured before. And then, when he visited Tsuna at the hospital, he was forced to stay the whole day with Hibari for some reason he doesn't understand. 

Even though he knew what would happen, why did he had to participate is something he himself don't know.

His thoughts were cut off when he saw Fuuta and Tsuna, cornered by three men. He stayed in the trees quietly, and watched what would happen. A bullet, which he presumed is the Dying Will bullet was shot from a pole not far away. He watched Tsuna who Reborn-ed beating them up. When he finished and walked away with Fuuta, He went down. He crouched down in front of the one who supposedly to be the boss, and warned them in Italian. "If any of you step into Namimori once more, I would tell the demon of Namimori to hunt you down. If not, I'll personally let you see hell" 

Right at the same time, a teen with white beanie and spectacles appeared. '. I forgotten about him...' Looks like he would have to put some use on his current bow and arrows after all... Or not..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N = Well, This is the end of the first arc. Second arc beginning on the next chapter. The timeline is a bit weird so here's a little explanation.

On the previous chapter, Yuuichi was mentioned that he's in Tokyo for Interhigh, school-based basketball competition(I think). And in this chapter, he was back on Valentine's day.

Let's just say, Yuuichi's team won the district level and was back for a break. In the next chapter, he would be gone for another week, to participate for whole japan level this time. Something like that...?

Anyway I didn't really know what to write for this chapter, so I kindda like wrote weird stuffs in? Especially the Valentine's part. That part wasn't exactly based on the story's episode but it's true that Yamamoto and Gokudera are famous and Tsuna's the opposite, no offense. Hibari was untouched even though he was famous too. Basically most of his fans were scared to give him their chocolates and no one dares to get close to him even by a meter that day.

Fun fact. I actually injured my elbow two days ago. It wasn't anything major tho. 

Another fun fact. Hibari basically had forced Ryuuichi to spar with him on Valentine's because Ryuuichi didn't give him any(Please, it's not like Ryuuichi had given chocolates to anyone), with Ryuuichi ended up running away from him too.
