Gokudera's constant growling had always kind of amused him, and he admitted that every now and then he sort of poked Gokudera just to get him going. Like playing with a cat; a few scratches were fair trade for getting to watch it flail at you. Actually, Gokudera reminded him a lot of a cat, sometimes, a feral cat that would only let one person pet him without biting, and that person was Tsuna. Even when they'd just met it had made Takeshi wonder a little how often Gokudera must have gotten kicked, to be that way, and now he was wondering more seriously.

hello~ *snugs*

Well, we haven't met him yet. Sanada mentions him as one of the people who can do this altered-state thingie, and most people are working on the assumption that he is the best player in Kyuushuu who is mentioned when we first meet Tachibana. The one Tachibana was second to.

*glompsback*

i see. hmm... frankly, i don't think tachibana has really shown us the stuff that made him kyushu's number two. certainly, his move to fudomine proved that he can be a leader, and a darn fine one at that. but leadership and being the second best player in kyushu are two different matters altogether.

then again, we don't really know what being the best/ second-best in kyushu entails. i mean, rikkai's suppose to be *the* team to beat... so, how do the best players in rikkai rank?

could this be the reverse of tezuka's situation in his second year, where he won his match, but seigaku lost to hyoutei, simply because they couldn't scrape up enough good players to win as a team? hmmm.... questions questions questions...
