ARC I - Her Arrival in Class E

Target Period 08 His Prayer Time

Tsuna let out his uncounted sighed since his daughter leaves the mansion. He is really worried to her and Reborn's report doesn't helping at all. She might be enjoying being those classmates of hers, being with that Octopus Teacher, being with that government agent and that honeypot assassin but his heart keeps telling him to go and visit her.

But how he will do that?

He doesn't even know how he will face her after making such a decision.

Yet Tsuna cannot find himself to regret it.

Sending her to Kunigigaoka Middle School, letting her Hyper Intuition to lead her to Class E is according to the plan that he and Reborn orchestrated. Hoping that "teacher" could help his daughter to have all necessary thing to become a better person, to become a better boss.

Thankfully, "Korosensei's" help seems working.

Tsuna sighs and leaned his back on his chair.

"What are you talking about?!" Tsuna's father burst out in anger to him. "Why didn't you want Ieyasu as your heir?! He is your own son for fucking sake Sawada Tsunayoshi!" Tsuna and Reborn just stares at him. "I'm the one who train him! You see how he grows! So why you still want that bastard daughter of yours to be your heir?!"

"That's the reason why I chose her to be my heir instead of Ieyasu..."

"You're being unfair Tsuna!"

"You ARE the one who being unfair Tou-san! She still my daughter and yet you hurt her! Treating her like trash! You even sold her to other family to make her their guinea pig!"

"It's just your reason, Tsuna? Then fine! I will stop punishi—"

"Punishing? Are you insane?! What Satsuki did to you, to anyone to be punish?!"

"You actually asking?! Since that child came here—"

"Iemitsu!" Reborn finally enter the stage.

"Why Reborn? Are you, by any chance, regretting bringing that kid here?"

"No, I never regret bringing her to Tsuna. More of it, aren't you the one who brings Ieyasu's pain?"

"I am not~ am not. I just—"

"That's enough!" Tsuna burst again. "Alright! If you don't like my decision as much as I don't like yours then let's settle this with a Ring Battle!"

"Ring battle, huh? Alright I agree! Ieyasu will be my representative while yours is that bastard daughter of yours. But please don't forget that I'm the one who chose you."

"I never forget that, but I will never let anyone to bring the Vongola Primo's Will into grave again."

Tsuna once again let out a sighed.

He is worried that his father might send an assassin to kill his daughter.

"Please, Shinigami-san protect my daughter from anyone, I beg you!" Tsuna plead as he buried his face on his hands. "Only you and Reborn could protect her." He bit his lower lip and continue "Please be safe Satsuki. My Moon please protect our daughter!"

The time has come, the end semester's exam, and this is only mean one thing: time to review all the lesson that has been covered within the start of semester.

Yet Satsuki has no plan to do it at all, as she believes that it's fine to relied on luck when it comes to these things, that it's fine to flunk sometimes, at the very least one subject could score her one tentacle.

There are really times when you want nothing to do with anything in the world.

Yet everything changes, one day, in class.

Nagisa, Isogai, Nakamura, Kanzaki, Okuda and Kayano have gone to study at school library but they unlikely met the four of Big Five and in the end a challenge has occurred.

Whoever side lose will obey one thing the winner wishes.

Satsuki doesn't like the sound of it, and so she decided to study, even the lessons that was cover before she came, she reviews those, but there's a problem.

"Math? You? Not good in Math? You're kidding!"

"I hope I am."

"But your entrance exam..." Nagisa asked, confused.

"Oh, that's just a mere luck."

"Then you don't have to study, just rely on luck."

"Seriously? Karma I'm aware that you're a genius but come on~ even geniuses are studying too. Besides, I don't like the idea to lose against those Biggie Five; they might try to uncover Korosensei's real identity." Nagisa thinks and Karma hums

"How can you say that they might be interested in our octopus?" Karma asked.

"Saa~ maybe because of that Principal's son? Look! You say it yourself, that the E class just gained self-confidence since Korosensei's arrival, right? They might want to know the source of that confidence." He hums again...

"Alright!" Karma finally agreed.

"What about Nagisa?"

Nagisa nodded, "Of course, I'm in. But where will have our study session?"

"What about my place?" they both agreed.

Sunday, a fine peaceful day, Karma and Nagisa enters, and Satsuki welcomes them.

"You're living alone?" Nagisa asked while changing into indoor shoes that Satsuki provided; he immediately noticed how the house is giving off silence atmosphere.

"Aa... technically yes. But sometimes my uncle would come and make a ruckus around—ah... I mean, he visits to check on me." She answered with a smile.

The duo entered the living room while Satsuki has gone to the kitchen to get snacks and drinks.

The curiosity strikes both Karma and Nagisa when their sights lands at the picture frames that were display on counters and the picture in the middle catches their attention the most.

It is a picture of a mid-age woman with black short hair with purple-colored eyes; another person in the picture is a mid-age brunet with caramel-colored eyes.

There are many features of them that could be seen at their friend's, aside to the red eyes, they could be Satsuki's parents. Thinking about it now, Nagisa realizes that she never talk about her parents even once.

Looking at the pictures Karma finds something odd; he hums in curiosity.

"Isn't strange Nagisa-kun. Satsuki doesn't have a single shot." He pointed out.

"It's because I never take a picture before." Nagisa jolted in surprise when Satsuki talked suddenly from the door carrying her promise snacks "Sorry for surprising you guys." She apologizes with a smile as she put down the snacks on the table.

"Why is that?" Karma asked.

They sit on the carpeted floor "Well... right after I was born conflicts started on our family."

"And?"

"And... it was really complicated and very confidential."

Both teens wonder what that would be, enough for her parents not able to have even a single picture of their daughter.

Seeing Satsuki won't give more details they put their curiosity aside and started to study.

Karma is just teaching Satsuki math while she helps Nagisa in English, and Karma on the other hand ain't study for himself. Satsuki warns him about his laziness.

Amidst their study session Karma excused himself.

"Ne Nagisa~" Satsuki calls; Nagisa failed to notice how her tongue roll, "You're in love with Karma, aren't you~" blood rushes to his face.

'WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?!'
