.::Blow me away::. -Gokudera Hayato- 2 {The day Tsuna Saved me...}

~Still Gokudera's P.O.V~

I saw the gates of the cemetery approaching, on of the gates was slightly opened.

"Please be here Shiriko…" racing to her parents grave, I didn't see anyone there. "Shiriko! Shiriko where are you?!" from the corner of my eye I saw a flash of white, it was one of the flowers she laid out for them, I walked over to it and picked it up, it was next to a recently dug up grave for someone. I peered down into the grave, it looked like it went on forever, but a flash of lightning made my eyes widen, in the grave… was Shiriko.

(Me: …………….)

"Shiriko!" the rain made the sides of the grave slippery, even if I got down there, how the hell was I supposed to get her out?! I looked around for a tool shed and ran to it, the door was locked, I cursed under my breath, my dynamite wont light in the rain so I settled with a rock and started pounding on the lock, after the 6th hit it wouldn't budged.

"Come…ON!" with the last hit it finally broke I squinted and spotted a latter hung up on the wall, I took it along with a flashlight, and ran back to Shiriko. Thankfully the ladder was long enough to reach the bottom, I lifted her up into a sitting position.

"Shiriko, Shiriko, can hear me?" she groaned but didn't open her eyes. "Shiriko, I need you to get on my back, can you do that?" she nodded pain shooting across her face. I helped her onto my back and I felt her head go limp on my shoulder. I started to climb up the ladder slowly, making sure she wouldn't fall off, when we reached the top I set her down, the wind was roaring so loud I could barely hear myself think, I reached into my pocket and shined the light onto her face, on the right side of her forehead, was a wide gash.

"Crap…"I put the flashlight back inside my pocket and picked her up bridal-style out of the cemetery, the boss's house was too far away for this, but lucky her house was right up ahead. He mom saw me coming from the window and yanked the door open.

"Shiriko!" she cried with tears in her eyes.

"She's bleeding, we need to get her to a hospital!"

"That won't be necessary, I'll take it from here." Dr. Shamal said with a serious look on his face he took her out of my arms and placed her on the couch.

"Her friend are up in her room, you should tell them she's found." I nodded and slipped off my muddy shoes.

"Sorry about the mess." Her mother smiled.

"It's okay…" she started choking back tears. "I'm just so glad you found her Hayato, I don't know what we would do if we lost her!" I looked towards Shiriko's unconscious body while Shamal examined her

"I'll go tell the others…" as I walked up the stairs, I stared at her until the wall blocked my vision. I could hear voices coming from her room and that all stopped when I opened the door.

"Gokudera…" the 10th said in a shock, "Did you find Shiriko?" he said snapping out of it.

"She's downstairs in the living room isn't she?" Reborn said petting Leon.

"What?!" everyone stood up and ran past me, downstairs to see her except Yamamoto, he smiled and patted my shoulder.

"Good job Gokudera," he said before joining the others.

"Something else happened didn't it?" Reborn said, I couldn't look him in the eye. He started to walk towards me then stopped. "You should talk to her when she wakes up." That was all he said before he left to go with the others. I stared at the ground, he was right, but for now…

There was a knock at the door I turned to see the boss's crush Kyoko,

"Shiriko woke up, and she wants to see you." She said in a soft voice, I nodded and followed her downstairs, the first thing I saw was Shiriko sitting up with bandages wrapped around her head, and she was smiling. She looked at me and her smile grew bigger.

"Gokudera!" she waved her hand over to an empty seat next to her. "Come over here, I can't walk >_< ."

~Shiriko's P.O.V~

"Thank you Gokudera for saving me back there, mom told me you found me in that grave." I shuddered. "Of all places why a friggen grave? -____-" she rubbed her head. "Do these bandages make my head look big?" the room was silent until everyone started laughing…The nerve! "It's not funny!" the only one who wasn't laughing was Gokudera, he looked at me with a funny look in his eyes.

"So Shiriko you really can't remember what happened before you fell in?" Haru asked.

"No, I guess the fall did that, thanks for the medicine doctor."

"Anytime for such a cutie, how about a kiss?!" he said puckering up.

"I'm thankful, but I ain't that thankful!"

"Oh come on-"

"Hell no! >:O" this started up the laughter again, then I soon joined in.

"So if Shiriko doesn't remember, how about you Gokudera?" Yamamoto asked.

"We can discuss that later! Right now I want some pudding."

"Is that your new obsession?" Tsuna asked laughing.

"Never! Flan forever!" I yelled.

"Shiriko I'm so glad you're okay…!" My mom said with tears in her eyes.

"It'll take more than that to get rid of me!"

A rumbling could be felt as I sweat dropped. "Oh boy…"

"SHIRIKOOOOOOOO!!!! WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!" my dad said busting down the door, he spotted me (Torpedo style) and ran over to me, almost knocking over everyone who was standing. "Are you okay?! Where does it hurt?! Should we go to the hospital?!" he started bombarding me with questions.

"Dad…"

"Where did it happen?! How?! Can you stand?! What about-"

"DAD!" he stopped mid sentence and stared at me,

"Yes Shiriko?"

"I'm fine, all I have is a bump on the head, that's all."

"Oh thank goodness!" he said waterfalls coming out of his eyes.

"You're being so overly dramatic dad… -_-"

"Shiriko can I talk to you?" Gokudera asked me.

"Aren't you talking to me right now? O.o"

"I mean alone."

"Okay…" I slowly stood up, getting a slight head rush.

"Where are you two going?" Tsuna asked.

"Tsuna-San! Isn't it obvious?" Haru said giggling.

"T_T You're perverted Haru…I'm so proud! ^_^"

He helped me upstairs in my room I sat on my bed while he sat at the computer desk.

"So what is it that you want to talk about?" I asked bouncing Kou-Chan on my lap.

"You honestly don't remember what happened before you fell?" he finally said looking at me dead in the eye. I looked up in thought.

"Nope, every time I try to remember it gets all fuzzy, but that rock frickken hurt! When I woke up my head was throbbing! The doctor numbed it but it will only last so long TT_TT." He ran a hand through his hair.

"If that's the case…" I scooted over to the front of the bed closer to him.

"Did something happen?" he sighed.

"If I tell you, you'll hate me." I waved my hand.

"Pshh, please, it'll take a lot for me to hate anybody…mostly >.>."

"…Fine…"

While he was told me what happened, he wouldn't look me in the eye. How could I forget all this from a little bump on the head? When he finished, we were silent.

"That's all, from beginning to end." I looked at my lap, my bangs hiding my eyes, I stood up and strode over to him, I lifter my hand and smacked him. "I deserved that…" I grinned.

"Now we're even!" he looked totally shocked, priceless! XD

"But-I-you-"

"Gokudera I'm a girl, of course you didn't mean to but it still hurt, but now that I think about it running away was pretty stupid, I mean I could've been hit by a car or something!"

"How could you let something go so easily?!" he yelled, not really angered.

"Do you want me to hate you then?"

"Well, no but-"

"Then stop complaining, I forgive you, but if you do it again it'll be more than a smack to your face for payback >: /." His eyes widened but then he smiled and leaned his forehead onto mine.

"Thank you…"

"You're welcome, wait why are you thanking me?"

"See~? I told you~!" Haru squealed behind a crack in the door. Gokudera pulled away from my face with a little bit of pink in his cheeks.

"Haruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! What the hell!?" I yelled tearing the door open, she laughed nervously.

"Well, Shiriko-you see…um, well…"

"Yesssssssssssss? I asked my eyes gleaming evilly with flames in the background, a shadow covering my face.

"Eeep!" she squeaked. "It'sjustthatyouweretakingsolongthatIjustwantedtocheckuponyoutwo!" she said in one breath.

"Okay then~" I said evilly sweetly "Now that you see we're okay, do you mind~?" she nodded and ran back down the stairs. "Thank you~! ^_^" I looked back into my room to see Gokudera with a scared look on his face. "What? ^-^."

"N-nothing, let's just go back downstairs." I shrugged and went downstairs where the others were all sitting on either the floor or the couch.

"We should totally have a sleep over one day," I said stretching onto the soft carpet.

"Maybe we should do it this weekend!" Haru said.

"What perfect timing!" My mother said popping up from nowhere, making everybody jump.

"W-what do you mean by that mom?" I asked her while holding my heart.

"Well, it's just that your father and I have to go to a preparation class for the baby, and we're going to be gone the whole day."

"Plus we do need someone to watch you," my dad piped in.

"Watch!? I don't need a babysitter!" I complained.

"But now you'll have 10!" Yamamoto said grinning. I glared at him

"Not helping…"

"We have extra rooms, but I'm not sure about the beds." My mom said placing a hand on her cheek. I sighed.

"Fine…the girls will bunk with me and the guys can have the spare room, how's that sound?"

"As long as it's not my house for once it's fine by me!" Tsuna yelled a little too enthusiastically, I sweat dropped.

"Hey, the rain died down!" Kojima said looking out the window. Kumiko yawned.

"Maybe you all should go home, it's getting late and we have school tomorrow." I said sitting up.

"Will you be okay on your own Shiriko?" Kyoko asked me, I made a thumbs up and grinned.

"I'll be fine! Expect me at school tomorrow too!"

"Right!" they all said, one by one they filed out through the door, Gokudera being the last.

"Feel better soon, okay?"

"You bet!" after they all left I let out another sigh.

"What great friends…"

"Shiriko are you sure about tomorrow?" dad asked me.

"Yeah, the doc gave me some extra medicine for the pain, only a few stitches, plus, if I do feel any pain, I'll just take it out on the teachers >:3."

"Now Shiriko, you know that's wrong." Mom said wagging her finger.

"Oops, did I say that out loud? ^-^;;"

"Yes you did." They both said, I yawned.

"Well I should be getting to bed no, bye!" I said running up to my room before they could say anything else. "That was close…" Apologies
