The Challenge

I ran through the empty hallways, zooming past every classroom on the way.I didn't mean to blow Hayato up with his own dynamite staves, but he was asking for it.

"Still… I need to apologize to that bad tempered kid."

I'm not a challenge to the leader of the Disciplinary Committee right now. It would be foolish on my part if I challenged him. The only option I have, is to get stronger in a short amount of time.

"And I know just the guy to turn to!" I smirked widely as I hit the brakes, reaching my destination.

Third POV:

"So this is the boxing club." Alice said, her hands placed on her hips. Her lips curled into a mischievous grin. "With his training, I'm bound to get stronger! I'll beat the crap out of that kid!" She spat out with pride. Alice walked up to the sliding door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge.

"Stupid thing."

She frowned as she kept pulling on the door. But still, it wouldn't budge. "Argh! Stupid door!" Alice groaned, feeling frustrated. "You can't stop me from reaching my goal!" She pointed at the inanimate object that stood in her way. Alice rolled up her sleeves, determined to solve this with violence.

"You'll be sorry, stupid door." Alice took a step back, planning on charging her fist through the object. It's not that thick, so it's gotta work. The sliding door unbolts and crashed open as the dust settled in on the frightened pupils, their eyes focused on the destruction before them. A few pupils stepped up to the scene, wanting to know who had the guts to barge in like that, not to mention destroying the door along the way. Boxing gloves made solid thuds that echo throughout the training area. Alice walked in, her eyes scanning the dojo, searching for the white-haired Captain of the boxing club.

"What's the big deal?" One of the guys confronted Alice. "You'd better pay for that door!" Another one complained. "Where's Sasagawa Ryohei?" Alice questioned them, ignoring their murderous glares. "He's in th-" Alice didn't bother listening to his answer and walked in, her shoulder brushing against the guy as she walked past him.

"O-oi... This isn't a place for girls." The guy stuttered as he held onto her upper arm. Alice turned her head a little, glaring him down as she growled softly, bearing her teeth. The guy released his grip on her. There's no doubt that she would bite him if he didn't let go of her. Again, she looked around, trying to spot the Captain anywhere. Growing impatient, she took a deep breath, only to release it in a loud shout.

"SASAGAWA RYOHEI! SHOW YOURSELF!"

The training area fell silent. Someone tapped Alice on her shoulder, accompanied with a loud cough. She turned around swiftly, only to come face to face with the person she was looking for. "Ryohei." She whispered under her breath while squinting her eyes at him. Ryohei removed his earpieces, leading for Alice to understand why he didn't hear the commotion earlier.

Ryohei crossed his arms over his chest, a smirk gracing his lips. He was wearing a grey sweatshirt and shorts. Drops of sweat was trailing down from his temples to the crook of his neck. His grey eyes lit up as soon as he recognized Alice from before.

"YOU MADE IT!" He beamed happily.

Ryohei's pupils sweat-dropped at the sight of seeing their Captain's reaction. "S-so... You know her?" They asked. "They must be pretty close." Another one commented. "Not really. I just met her today." Ryohei explained with a cheeky grin. His grin faded away as he put on his thinking face. "Or was it yesterday?"

"It was today!" Alice grew impatient.

Ryohei dismissed her outburst and placed his right hand on her shoulder. "Are you ready to join the boxing club?" "W-what? You can't be serious Captain!" His pupils spat out in disbelief. "N-no... I came here for a di-" "There's no need to be modest! I know you want to join!" Ryohei interrupted her. "But Captain! You can't possibly be serious about making her join the boxing club!"

"WHY NOT?" Ryohei defended Alice. The girl just arched her brow, not really expecting for him to defend her, against his own pupil, no less.

"Captain... The average man is stronger than the average woman. It would be unfair to her." "You're right…" Ryohei's enthusiasm seemed to drop rapidly, the spark in his eyes diminishing as he realized this was useless. Upon seeing Ryohei lose faith in himself, Alice knew she was to blame for that.

"H-hey… Cheer up. I'm sure we can work things out." She pat him on the back, but Ryohei's mood didn't change as much. "Even though I don't really want to join in the first place…" She muttered under her breath. "I guess there's no helping it. Why won't you guys test me out or sumthin'. Just to see how strong I really am." Alice suggested as she cracked her knuckles, facing the members of the boxing club. The pupils backed up in fear.

"N-no… We can't do that. O-only cowards pick f-fights with girls." One of them complained, his face showing signs of fear and distress. Must be a newbie. Alice rolled her eyes. "Come on. I'll be gentle." She winked briefly as she flashed a smile in their direction. "That's not what I meant at all!" He cried out.

"Geez… It's not like I'm innocent or anything. I've beaten up plenty of people on my turf back in America." Alice explained, feeling proud about it. "On your turf? What are you, some kind of delinquent? And that's not something to be proud of, you idiot!" "Whatever… Just come at me, okay? I can handle it." She continued to say. Ryohei placed his hand onto her shoulder, about to tell her that this wasn't necessary until Alice's reflexes kicked in. As she turned around swiftly, Ryohei had to deal with a powerful blow, her fist making solid contact with his jaw, sending him flying against the wall.

It fell silent.

Alice felt like crawling under a rock.

"Oh crap!" She began to say, realizing her mistake. "I just hit my future boxing coach!" She cried out as she pulled on her twin-tails in frustration. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" Alice kneeled down beside him as she studied Ryohei's face. His eyes fluttered open, leaving for Alice to sigh in relief. The other club members gathered around by now.

"WHAT A PUNCH! YOU MUST LIVE TO THE EXTREME IF YOU PUNCH PEOPLE RANDOMLY!" Ryohei beamed, a big smile gracing his lips. Alice exhaled softly, relieved to see that he's alright. "Of course." Her crystal blue orbs were scanning his happy go lucky expression. "The letter E in Alice stands for extreme, you know." Alice chuckled out.

"I doubt the C stands for cultured…" The boys commented with a laugh to follow. "Shut up." Alice grumbled.

Ryohei got up on his feet as he laughed along with them. He was back to his usual cheerful self. "Well… You passed the test. I'll train you." "You will?" Alice beamed happily. Ryohei turned to his pupils who seemed to glare at Alice. "You guys can go ahead and resume your training. I'll take care of her." He told them. Their warning glares turned into death glares as soon as the Captain faced Alice.

"First thing first… You gotta change your outfit. It'll be hard for you to train in those." Ryohei pointed out. Alice glanced down at her school uniform as she dusted off her skirt. Her lips formed into a cheeky grin once she faced the Captain again. "Do you have something in mind?" She grinned. "You're American, right?" "Well, yeah. But I do-"

"THEN I HAVE JUST THE OUTFIT FOR YOU TO WEAR TO THE EXTREME!"

Tsuna's POV:

"Are you sure you're alright, Gokudera-kun?" I asked him as we were walking down the hallway, along with Yamamoto on my left side, since Gokudera-kun wanted to walk on my right side… He really wants to be my right-hand man so badly. It freaks me out sometimes. "I'm fine! No need to worry about me, Tenth! I'm in good shape!" He beamed with his thumbs up.

"But it sure was funny to see you get blown up by your own toys. Where'd you get those anyway?" Yamamoto commented as he stuck his hands in his pockets. "This isn't a game, you slacker!" Gokudera-kun spat out as he shook his fist in Yamamoto's direction. "Grow up already!"

"Tsuna-kun!"

Kyoko-chan's voice could be heard as I saw her running in our direction. "Kyoko-chan? Is there a problem?" I asked her, trying my best not to sound too excited. She's coming to me for help! Surely that must mean something! "Onii-chan needs your help with something. He specifically asked me to get you." I blanked out immediately. "Onii-san? I see… So… Everything's fine." I tried to hide my disappointment, but it didn't work. Kyoko-chan didn't seem to notice this, much to my relief.

"What the hell does that boxing freak want this time? He's so annoying." Gokudera-kun piped in bluntly. I know he means well, but Kyoko-chan can hear him! "A new member joined the boxing club! Onii-chan wants for you to be there. Since you beat him last time, he figured you could give the new member a few tips in boxing! Isn't that great, Tsuna-kun?" Kyoko-chan beamed with pride.

I can't let her down. Besides, this is easy. I just have to give the new guy some tips, then I'm out of there. "Okay, I guess. No problem." I grinned. "Come on! They already started with the training!" Kyoko-chan held onto my hand, making my heart skip a beat. This is so worth getting punched in the face for.

"Onii-chan! We made it!"

Kyoko-chan walked into the gym with me behind her. Yamamoto and Gokudera-kun didn't have anything better to do, so they also came. "Oh Kyoko! Thanks for bringing Sawada all the way to the gym!" Onii-san walked up to me. He still looked intimidating!

"You ready Sawada? You're gonna love our new member! We can't let her compete in a real competition, though. It's a real shame. She's really good!" I nodded my head, feeling happy for him. "I see. I'm happy to hear that. You seemed a little depressed lately. But I'm glad that's done and over with." I replied with a grin to follow. W-wait a minute…. He said it's a she… It's a…

"OI ALICE! GET OVER HERE WILL YOU!"

"Alice? As in Alice Pierce?" Yamamoto commented with a raised brow. "Idiot…" Gokudera-kun muttered out with a sigh to follow. "PIERCE-SAN?" I cried out as the American exchange student ran up to us, her lips formed into a wide grin.

"What a surprise! Did you guys come and see me practice my punches?" She said as she stood next to Onii-san, still grinning like crazy. She was wearing a pair of boxing shorts with the printing of the American flag on it, a shirt with no sleeves covering her upper body and her hands were equipped with a pair of blue boxing gloves. I'm too afraid to say something about her get-up...

"What the hell is up with that getup?" Gokudera-kun spat out, reading my thoughts, it seemed.

"Huh? I thought I looked nice in these." Pierce-san commented as she whirled around. I still found it hard to believe that she's the person that got involved with Onii-san's boxing club! "That's not the point, you American idiot!" Gokudera-kun yelled at her while she blinked her eyes a few times. "Why are you here!" "To practice, of course. What kind of question is that. Isn't it obvious?" She retorted with ease. Gokudera-kun's face turned bright red in irritation. "It looks cute, doesn't it?" She turned to Kyoko-chan who nodded in agreement. "It suits you! Onii-chan made the right choice!" She beamed happily. I sweat-dropped. He picked it out for her? What was he thinking?

"You guys know each other?" Onii-san commented as he glanced over at me. "Y-yeah. She's our classmate. She just arrived here in Japan, and she's already making a mess out of everything." I whispered the last part under my breath. "I see! No wonder she's so good! You already trained her, Sawada!" Onii-san grinned, jumping to his own conclusions again. "This is ridiculous! Boxing is for guys! Go play with dolls back at your place!" Gokudera-kun scolded her.

"Relax Hayato. I'm not entering any tournament or something like that. I came here to prepare myself." Pierce-san explained. "Prepare yourself for what?" I asked, wanting to know the answer desperately.

"Of course, defeating the Disciplinary Committee." She explained as she turned to me with a bright smile. "Don't do it! You're going to get killed!" I yelled as I held onto her shoulders, shaking her in a violent way. "You'll be dead before your body touches the ground!" I finished off, crying my eyes out while I was at it. "Come to think of it, I don't even know the leader's name." She pondered, dismissing my warning instantly. "But that doesn't matter. I'm going to beat him with the Captain's training!" Pierce-san yelled out as a flame surrounded her entire being, her arm pumped up in the air.

"CAPTAIN! LET'S RESUME TRAINING!" She faced her coach, her face showing signs of excitement. "LET'S CONTINUE THE TRAINING TO THE EXTREME!" Onii-san was excited about this as well, it seemed. "W-wait..." I was too tired to argue anymore as the two of them resumed their training. Pierce-san jumped over the ropes of the ring, only to fall flat on her face after her right foot got tangled in the ropes. I winced upon seeing that.

"There's no way she'll survive the training, let alone defeat Hibari-san in a fight!" I cried hysterically. "That might be true, but she's still trying really hard." Yamamoto smiled faintly, her eyes glued on Pierce-san's form, jabbing away upon command onto Onii-san's right glove which was used to cushion the blow. "Her courage is something we should admire." Kyoko-chan commented with a small nod. "But courage has nothing to do with this." Gokudera-kun crossed his arms over his chest, also looking at Pierce-san.

"I disagree. Courage has a lot to do with this." Yamamoto grinned, causing for Gokudera-kun to glare in his direction. "Courage isn't always about not running away from a challenge, or to stand up and speak your mind. Her courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, I'll try again tomorrow." Yamamoto explained. I nodded, agreeing with him. "I'm sure Onii-chan noticed that too." Kyoko-chan retorted.

"I'm going to cheer her on from up close." She said as she ran up to the ring without hesitation. She's really supportive of Pierce-san. I guess they already share a bond with each other.

"That's all good and well, but I still fear the outcome of her fight with Hibari-san." I whined. "Don't worry about it Tenth. She's got a hard head. She'll survive for sure." Gokudera-kun commented, surprising me while he was at it. He was never supportive of Pierce-san. Come to think of it, they act like a cat and dog. They fight constantly whenever they see each other...

"And when she doesn't survive, we'll throw a party anyway!" Gokudera-kun finished off as I sweat-dropped. Yep... Like cat and dog. "Maybe, if she beats Hibari, she might be able to join our little Mafia game. I'm looking forward to it!" Yamamoto commented, making my jaw drop a few centimeters from the ground. "No way! That can't happen!"

"It can and will happen. PAO-N!" I heard a familiar voice say, making me jump up at the sound of it. "Y-you jerk! Don't come here all dressed up like that!" I spat at Reborn. He was wearing that stupid elephant hat on his head, shorts and a pair of boxing gloves. He jumped up and managed to punch me straight in the eye as I held my face in pain.

"Y-you okay Tenth?" Gokudera-kun asked me. Seriously! It hurts too much for me to handle! Reborn did a somersault in the air and landed on Yamamoto's right shoulder. "What a strange little man. No' one punches the Tenth like that while I'm around!" Gokudera-kun growled as he took out his dynamite sticks, about to light it up.

"How naïve. Thinking you can beat me with that. You have much to learn." Reborn retorted as he jumped in the air, releasing a salvo of jabs in Gokudera-kun's face. He fell over, losing his grip on the dynamite sticks and letting them roll beside him. You could clearly see the prints of Reborn's fists left behind on Gokudera-kun's face.

"How amusing! Maybe this little kid wants to join the boxing club as well!" Yamamoto laughed again. It's nothing like that! That's Reborn! Gokudera-kun got back on his feet. Reborn sat back on Yamamoto's shoulder with a smirk to follow.

"Seems like I've discovered another valuable member for the family." Reborn uttered the words I feared the most. I don't want for Pierce-san to get involved with all the guns and explosions! She won't handle it!

"Actually... She might be the only one who will fit in perfectly." I admitted. "That settles it. Alice Pierce will be added to your growing Family-" "Don't decide it on your own! And stop ignoring me!" Reborn responded by landing a massive upper-cut with deadly precision against my lower chin, followed by me, crashing into a random wall.

As the dust settled in, Gokudera-kun and Yamamoto ran up to me, already prepared to pick up my body parts after Reborn's harsh display of affection. This day can't possibly get any worse...

Third POV:

A week has passed since Alice started her training. Right after school was over, she would head straight to the boxing club. And now... Since a week has passed already, she feels strong enough to take on the danger that is Hibari Kyoya.

"I'm leaving!" She yelled out for Ami to hear. "Okay darling! Have fun!" Came Ami's reply. Closing the door behind her, she turned to the sky, a wide grin evident on her face. "Today is the day." Alice grinned from ear to ear. Her head was filled with evil torture methods, awful enough to make Hibari cry...

In her thoughts. God forbid if Hibari really does end up crying!

"I'll wipe that smirk off his face and make him pay for breaking my PSP." She cackled evilly as a dark aura surrounded her entire being. "You sure are brave. I'm interested to see your abilities in action, Alice Pierce." Alice arched her brow in confusion as she stared into the blue sky.

"God? Is that you?" She said in pure stupidity as the unknown person stepped into broad daylight. Dressed up in a black suit with a matching hat, the person jumped up and whacked Alice against the head with his trademark hammer. Alice didn't expect this at all and ended up crashing into her own front door, destroying it completely.

"God has nothing to do with it." The Arcobaleno commented with a sly smirk. The green hammer transformed back into its original form. The green chameleon returned to his owners hat, not planning on moving any time soon. Alice coughed a few times as she dusted herself off. "What the hell was that for? There was no reason whatsoever to hit me like-" She ranted, until her eyes fell upon the baby standing before her.

"Ciaossu."

Alice was shocked beyond words. A baby, dressed up in a suit, managed to overpower her in both strength and speed. This little baby was the cause of her crashing into the door and destroying it along the way. Plus, Alice just knew she saw the baby once before.

"What is it? Cat got your tongue?" Reborn stepped forward as he dusted off his shoulder. Leon merely yawned, not finding this interesting in the least. "N-not really." Alice stammered out in disbelief. "Let's get down to business."

"Business?"

Reborn sighed deeply as he held onto his hat, lowering it to cover his eyes. "The name's Reborn. I have wandered here to help you." Reborn began to say, causing for Alice to sweat drop. "Helping me after you wandered here? You're the one in desperate need of help, kiddo." Alice whispered the last part under her breath, not wanting to receive another blow to the head. A faint clicking sound filled Alice's ears.

"What was that?" Reborn asked her as he held onto his well known gun, aiming straight at Alice. Instead of panicking like any other normal person, she stared at the muffler of the little gun in amazement. "That's a pretty cool water gun. It practically looks like the real thing!" She laughed, not realizing the dangerous position she's in. Reborn smirked at her response.

"As I was saying..."

Reborn aimed his gun at a stray can and shoot it down in a swift motion. Smoke was emitting from the gun as Alice turned pale."I came to help." Reborn finished off, his gun taking on the form of Leon, the chameleon. "Do you have anything against me helping you out?" "N-no... It's okay! You can help!" Alice answered at the speed of light.

"I knew we would come to an agreement." Reborn replied with a cocky attitude.

"Your main goal is to make Hibari Kyoya pay, correct?" He asked, just to be sure. Alice nodded her head vigorously, dismissing the thought of Reborn seeming to know everything that there is to know about her. "In that case, I know just the way for you to get back at him..." Reborn smirked, his big beady eyes sparkling mischievously.

Third POV:

The ringing of the school bell echoed throughout the school building. Several students filled the once empty hallways as they made their way out of their classrooms. The crowd dispersed, making room for a rather pissed off lookin' Gokudera.

"That's right! Make room for the Tenth! Know your place, ya maggots!" Gokudera spat out, throwing random death-glares at the students. "Haha! I feel like a king with the way Gokudera chases off people like that!" Yamamoto laughed.

"Shut it Yamamoto! The only one who's worthy of being called a king is the Tenth, and no'one else!" Gokudera yelled at Yamamoto, making it clear to him that he's worth nothing. Tsuna sweat-dropped, accompanied with a nervous grin. "I don't want such an extravagant title, Gokudera-kun. I'd rather want for us to be treated equally." Tsuna replied with a hint of modesty in his words.

Gokudera bursted out in tears upon hearing what Tsuna had to say. "As expected from you, Tenth. Your words... they fill my heart to the brim with joy and pride." Gokudera spoke as the tears still made their way down his cheeks. Tsuna chuckled nervously, not knowing what else to do in this situation.

As the three of them kept on walking, Yamamoto was the first to notice something peculiar about today's lecture-filled classes. "Ne... Don't you guys think that today's lessons were rather boring? No damage was done all day." Tsuna put on his thinking face. "You have a point there, Yamamoto. Sensei was rather happy today too. I mean...He only took one glance in the classroom, and his depressed mood was out the window, along with our paperwork." Tsuna replied, finding his teachers' behavior rather strange indeed.

"Babyface's absence is probably the main reason why he was all happy, prancing around like a freakin' deer... Makes me sick to my stomach to see him like that." Gokudera piped in, sliding his hands in his empty pockets. "That stupid American doesn't even realize how much people worry when she doesn't show up. The nerve of that kid..." Gokudera finished off, earning odd looks from both Tsuna and Yamamoto. As much as Gokudera meant to trash-talk Alice down, his tone of voice and absent expression proved the exact opposite of what he was doing, which was worrying for Alice's well being. The bomb fanatic noticed the odd looks his classmates were giving him, showing his flustered side.

"W-what? Why are the two of you eyeing me like that!" He blurted in his embarrassment. "I'm not worried about her! It's a good thing she didn't show up!" "We get it Gokudera. No need to get all upset about it." Yamamoto reassured him, his grin getting bigger by the minute. Tsuna's facial expression softened at the sight of seeing Gokudera glare at Yamamoto for no apparent reason whatsoever.

Gokudera-kun doesn't show it, but he cares about Pierce-san as much as everyone else does. He just worries about her in his own way. Tsuna thought. Just then, a whole stampede of students ran in their direction. Gokudera and Yamamoto managed to step aside just in time. Unfortunately, Tsuna's reflexes were as slow as ever.

Tsuna's trademark squeals were drowned out by the passing stampede of shocked students. "She's nuts!"A girl yelled out as she held onto her briefcase in cheer horror. "We'd better leave the building while we can, or else Hibari will clobber us along with that crazy chick!" A male panicked, his eyes dilated as his face turned pale just thinking about it.

As soon as they turned the corner, Yamamoto and Gokudera placed their eyes on a beaten down Tsuna. Footprints decorated his backside as he lay there on his stomach. "Tenth! You okay?" Gokudera shot into action and helped Tsuna up while Yamamoto dusted off his shirt, wanting to help out as well. "I'm f-fine..." Tsuna replied.

"The nerve of those people..." Gokudera glared daggers in the hallway, even though they were already gone. Gokudera needed something to venture his anger on, so he couldn't help it."What's the rush anyway?" Yamamoto muttered out. "Did a bear wander in here or what?" He finished off with a laugh to follow, finding it rather amusing if it were true. "Man, that would be so cool."

"Better a bear than Reborn being behind this mess!" Tsuna exclaimed in horror. "I see. That makes sense. So this is the kid's doing, huh?" Yamamoto laughed. "We gotta do something!" Tsuna broke into a dash, determined to find out what Reborn was up to. Yamamoto and Gokudera followed close behind him. Soon enough, they reached their destination. Tsuna hit the brakes, allowing for his eyes to take in the chaos that was displayed before him. The spraying of a paint can could be heard, along with a faint humming to the loud rock music that blared out of her stereo headset.

Yamamoto, Gokudera and Tsuna were shocked to see just how much destruction was caused here. A few windows was left in shambles, the shards decorating the floor. The hallway walls were filled with graffiti drawings and random scribbles, along with the occasional silly messages such as 'Disemboweling takes guts' or 'Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way', and finally 'If at first you don't succeed, cheat!'

The boys didn't know what to say. They just stood there, expecting for all this to be a mere dream. Hell, they were probably waiting for her to turn around, telling them that this was all a joke and she would clean it all up. No doubt hell would break loose once Hibari finds out about this.

Alice continued to hum, bobbing her head to the beat of the music as she continued with her destruction. "I'm outta here..." Gokudera face-palmed himself as he walked away. Yamamoto held onto Gokudera's arm, stopping him from fleeing with his tail between his legs. All the while, Yamamoto still had that surprised expression on his face as he kept his gaze on Alice.

"She's a dead woman anyway! I don't want to get involved with her funeral!" Gokudera hissed as he tried to pry himself out of Yamamoto's grasp. Tsuna gathered his courage and walked over to Alice, tapping her on the shoulder briefly. Alice removed her headset, paused her music and turned around, only to come face to face with a pale looking Tsuna. "Ah! Tsunami! How's it hangin'?" She exclaimed happily. "T-tsunami?" Tsuna stuttered out in confusion. "Dude, you're the leader. The leader is a wave pushed ahead by the ship. Everyone knows that." She explained. "It's just a nickname, so chill out man." She finished off as she turned back to her masterpiece.

"L-leader? Who have you been talking to?" Tsuna spat out in disbelief. She couldn't possibly know about the whole mafia thing, right? Right! Tsuna panicked in his mind. As soon as Alice continued spraying, Gokudera walked up to her and smacked her hard on the head. In fact, he smacked her so hard that her headset crashed down to the floor.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, stupid American!" Gokudera yelled out as a vein popped up on his forehead. "Gokudera-kun... That's a little too much." Tsuna commented with a sweat-drop to follow. "Owww... That really hurts." Alice rubbed the sore spot on her head, tears forming at the corners of her eyes.

"It's okay Tenth! This is the only way to get through to her." Gokudera reassured him with a thumbs up. "By using violence?" Tsuna retorted sharply. "Oh my God. What am I doing?" Alice piped up, causing for Tsuna to sweatdrop. "See? I know how to handle a-" "I was spraying over my cute little panda bear." Alice pouted, reffering to the weird bear like creature she sprayed on the wall.

"That's it! She's dead!" Gokudera rolled up his sleeves, about to give her a sound trashing when Tsuna managed to hold him back. "Let me at her! Let me at her!" Gokudera yelled out at the top of his lungs. "Calm down Gokudera-kun! It's not worth it!" "At any rate, we should clean up the place a little. Before Hibari finds out about it." Yamamoto spoke.

"No way I'm gonna help her out..." Gokudera mumbled under his breath as he calmed down. "We have to. Pierce-san is new, remember? She doesn't know any better." Tsuna commented. "What are you guys talking about? No' one is going to do anything." Alice turned to them with an arched brow. "You really don't get it! If Hibari-san finds out, he'll explode!"

"That's exactly why I did this." Alice replied as if it meant nothing. "You did this on purpose!" Both Gokudera and Tsuna yelled out at the same time. "Of course. The school is Kyoya's weak spot. Why else would I wreck the hallway like this?" "You stupid Babyface! Why would you do a thing like this! If the Tenth gets in trouble because of this, you won't get away with it!" Gokudera barked at the American exchange student. "I thought I told you not to call me that! And I know what I'm doing... I just want my revenge, is all."

"You don't understand! Hibari-san's gonna beat you to a pulp! We gotta clean this mess up!" Tsuna squealed, trying his best to persuade Alice. No such luck. "No can do, Tsunami. I'm going through with this." She replied, holding her foot down. "Well... Have a nice funeral." Again, Gokudera tried to walk away. Yamamoto held onto his collar, keeping him in place as Gokudera kept on pulling forward.

"Let go of me, you baseball retard!" The crunching of glass shards could be heard as the temperature dropped to a freezing point."You're going to pay for this mess." A bored voice replied as the person stepped menacingly in their direction. His predator eyes glaring a hole in Alice's skull as he spotted the spray can in her hand.

"You'll pay… With your souls."

"Too late..." Tsuna squealed.

Alice grinned widely as she faced Hibari, walking up to him in her excitement. She casually tossed the can spray over her shoulder, followed by a loud crash as she destroyed yet another window. This seemed to piss Hibari off even more. His eyes were flashing dangerously at the sight of seeing Alice before him, smirking for the hell of it.

"Took you long enough..." She said as she prepared herself for a western duel, even though she didn't have any guns at hand.

"We're screwed."

End
