"HIIIIIIEEEEE!"

Many of Namimori's students flinched from the shrill scream that erupted and nearly ruptured a fair number of the populations eardrums, turning and then laughing or insulting the familiar sight of the messy mop of brown hair being thrown around like a ragdoll.

Again...

"Dame-Tsuna" came the high-pitched voice of the Sun Arcobaleno, Worlds Greatest Hitman; Reborn, who was approaching the accused.

Tsuna grunted from his position, not the most comfortable by anybody's terms since his posture was thrown heavily askew; arse over eyes with his back to the wall and his head to the earth with his legs dangling overhead.

Reborn narrowed his eyes a fraction when he heard his students meagre reply of a pained groan. He shook his head, this was not how a boss should act at all!

"Just die" were the child's words as he transformed his pet chameleon Leon into a gun to start unloading rounds in the brunette's direction.

"Reborn!" Tsuna shouted as he hastily vaulted to his feet, nimbly dodging the rounds with a less than graceful air due to the lack of reaction time he was given. That said, any other student at this school despite perhaps Hibari Kyouya and a number of his other guardians on a good day wouldn't have been able to dodge the ballistics sent in his direction.

Reborn cracked his usual smirk as he walked over to his shaken charge, holding back the growth of said smirk as his student tried to back away as much as he could to put as much distance between the two as wholly possible. At least, until his back met the cold of the wall and his retreat was brought to a halt, "R-Reborn..." he squeaked as the baby continued his approach.

"Dame-Tsu-"

"JUUDAIME!"

Gokudera stopped his hurried rush through the corridors before his sight befell the worst possible scenario. He clutched a hand to his chest as the murderous intent of the Sky Arcobaleno was turned on him over having interrupted him. Tsuna cringed at the horrified expression that adorned the face of his self-acclaimed right-hand, he knew more than anybody that you do not interrupt the Spartan tutor that was Reborn.

"A-ah, Reborn-san..." he uttered shakily, laughing nervously as he stroked a hand through his silver mane, "I-I apologise greatly f-for the interruption!" he bowed deeply, his face expressing the horror that he contained in himself at what he had instinctively done whilst his eyes retained their gaze upon the tiled floor of the corridors; anything to give him another moment not to look up and forcibly accept whatever fate the Arcobaleno may bestow upon his poor soul for his unintended insolence.

"Herbivore"

Gokudera blinked. Then again. Again.

...

...

Once more before finally looking up to see the murderous carnivore of a prefect; Hibari Kyouya with fangs bared, the silver of his tonfa glinting in the lighting of the school corridors, deathly silent and notably emptied from the carnivore's predacious aura. Gokudera grit his teeth, those damn students wouldn't know courage if it came up to them and kicked them right in the bollocks...

Or there if it was a girl he supposed...

The bomber shook his head clear of the nonsensical tangent he seemed to have diverted on to focus on the matter at hand; his genius brain piecing the happenings together before coming upon a conclusion that was less than satisfactory...

Tsuna and Reborn had vanished which was undoubtedly the baby's doing and the silver-haired delinquent had been left alone - most likely on the whim of the Arcobaleno he noted. This could only mean that the baby had left him at the mercy of the king of the school, and apparently he was violating one of the many rules of the school that had been set up by the very same skylark he was faced with. Which would be...?

"Herbivore, class has started and yet here you are; I shall bite you to death for truancy and loitering"

Ah, truancy and loitering...

The fuck...?! Maybe this was Reborn's punishment but the storm-user wasn't going to lay back and accept such a ridiculous excuse for his being 'bitten to death'

The bomber pulled out a handful of dynamite, enough to fill the gap between every finger, "You think I'll just lay back and let you beat me bloody?!" he shook his head and lit the fuses with the undeniably red flame of the storm attribute, "Like fuck I will!" he shouted before throwing them towards the prefect.

Hibari smirked as the rocket bomb function of the dynamite went on to send the explosives in his immediate direction, nimbly jumping through the gap left at the centre of the explosives before they blew up in his wake, only serving to propel him forward at a greater speed whilst Gokudera went for his next barrage.

Hibari held his right tonfa overhead as he darted right for the storm guardian, flipping forward to increase his speed to Gokudera's increasing fear - if the weakening expression he held was any implication.

Hibari was fast-approaching, "Vandalism too..." he narrowed his eyes at but a metre away from the bomber, "You will be bitten to death" He brought his arm down until-

CLINK

Hibari's eyes widened but a fraction of a centimetre as he was forcibly halted in his 'feeding', pushing down on his striking arm to push himself away from the offender a good distance, though his eyes clearly widened this time around when his sight befell the calm and collecting amber eyes of Tsunayoshi Sawada. Hibari looked him up and down, amber eyes yet no flame above his head. Curious...

Tsuna hummed as he looked over at the skylark, throwing down the pipe he had used to deflect the attack that was aimed for his storm guardian. Gokudera was smiling thankfully and admiringly at his one and only boss. Just like him to put himself in front of such an attack when he didn't even seem to be here but a moment prior.

Tsuna kept his gaze on the sharp eyes of his cloud guardian, a silent battle going on between the two as they stared the other down; though both knew the other would never retreat, Hibari because it was his nature to beat the accused bloody and Tsuna because he would never leave his guardian in the path of danger if he could do something about it.

Hibari loosened a deep grunt from the depths of his throat, "Omnivore" he greeted with nothing more to follow, keeping Tsunayoshi's gaze the whole time.

Tsuna nodded back, "Kyouya" he returned, and to the immense surprise of his right-hand; Hibari did nought to correct the sky.

Tsuna closed his eyes and sighed, looking up a moment later to reveal his usual chocolate brown orbs, "Kyouya, why are you attacking Hayato? You guys shouldn't fight like this; we're all on the same side" he supplied, ever playing the part of peacekeeper for immense mess of a family, his eyes holding their usual inexplicable warmth.

Kyouya narrowed his eyes and grunted, "The bomber herbivore has broken Namimori rules and thus he is to be bitten to death" the skylark returned, tightening the grip on his tonfa's as Tsuna sighed and took a step towards him

"Can't you just leave him alone? He has no intention of upsetting the balance here, you know him enough to be well aware that that isn't something that he would do" he defended, Gokudera grinning like an idiot as he was unconsciously praised by his boss, the tail that people still questioned whether he had waving about in spirit to follow the loyal puppy-dog character he retained in respect of his boss.

The raven-haired prefect narrowed his eyes and looked the sky up and down, weighing the question in his head against just going against his boss - no, Tsunayoshi Sawada and biting the bomber to death.

To the surprise of the storm the skylark lowered his weapons, "It is not to happen again" he ordered as he retracted his tonfa to wherever it was he stashed them and turned to leave, managing a few steps before craning his head to locate the Decimo's gaze once more, "You owe me a spar Omnivore" he informed, narrowing his gaze to peter out any excuses the sky was going to speak against his demands, "A spar; later today" he started to walk away, "Late and you owe me another the following day, then repeat and again" he spared a glance as he turned a corner, "Etcetera" he finished before he finally left their sight.

Tsuna exhaled heavily, releasing a breath he didn't know he was holding, he had definitely gotten better at handling the prefect but he never properly got over the way he used to quake at the knees at just the mentioning of the skylark's name.

"Juudaime?" Tsuna offered a smile to his storm at the mention of his title, one that he still struggled to get the bomber to discard in favour of the name that he had more than earned the right to speak, "How come you helped me back there? I-I know you don't like seeing people fight; i-it's one of the reasons you're the Sky of the Vongola, it's just..." he trailed off, to which the brunette cocked his head to the side

"Just...?" he inclined, to which the storm turned his gaze to the wall to scratch the back of his neck

"Just..." he looked back to Tsuna, "I-I thought you didn't want people to see that you could fight; you even went halfway into Hyper Dying Will Mode for a moment there" he chuckled sheepishly

"..."

Gokudera stopped chuckling at the silence, "J-Juudaime...?" still no answer, that could only mean...! "Juudaime..." Gokudera muttered fearfully, only a fraction of the horror that adorned the face of his sky evident in his voice.

"Shi-!" Tsuna shook his head wildly, hands on his temples as he did, "I-I mean damn it!" he corrected with a shout, horrified but still aware of his manners enough not to swear. At least not in public view...

Gokudera flinched from the outburst as he looked about cautiously, eyes widening in realisation when he saw the students and teachers frozen in the classrooms on either side as well as the people who had halted in the corridor to their front and rear, "No..." he muttered

Tsuna put an arm to the wall on his right for support, breathing in technique to stop himself from hyperventilating. After a moment, he managed to look his Storm guardian right in the eyes, correcting his posture and eyes firm, "Yes" he corrected, calmly walking over to his right-hand to the increasing surprise of all who watched before stopping to the guardians immediate left, not leaning in but instead speaking quietly from the close proximity, "I may or may not have been seen Hayato" he noted, to which Gokudera nearly sputtered, again checking the many gazes that were undoubtedly set on his boss.

"Yep, maybe..." he noted weakly, struggling to hold himself upright at his legs weakening from his bosses unfolding concerns.

Tsuna cleared his throat quietly, not a single student peeling their eyes away as he spoke yet not a one hearing a word, despite the fact that the hall was deathly silent with even the teachers stopping their lectures to watch the duo. Tsuna exhaled lightly, "I need you to listen closely here Hayato..." he said sternly, his boss switch undoubtedly flipped.

Gokudera's eyes glinted with loyalty and he nodded to his boss with the utmost determination in his emerald irises, "Of course Juudaime" he spoke calmly, the first words loud enough for anybody to hear.

Tsuna nodded and exhaled once more, "I need you to find Reborn..." he started, a hand on his right-hand man's shoulder to halt him as he went to leave at just that, "...listen Hayato!" he ordered, to which the bomber halted to nod again out of undying respect. Tsuna turned to face his Storm, speaking loud enough for the students to hear at this point, "I need you to find Reborn..." Gokudera nodded, "...tell him that I'll be in the infirmary..." another nod, "...and that he should bring a body bag" he finished, to which the loyal right-hand arched a brow in confusion

"But why wou-?"

"Because I'm going to hang my-"

Any more of Tsuna's sudden breakdown was unheard as he was sent soaring out of the second storey of the school, only to crash into the window of the building parallel, rolling back into a stance with his school shirt shredded by the glass; revealing bits and pieces of his torso to the suddenly blushing girls around the classroom he found himself in.

"REBORN!" Tsuna shouted , forgetting himself as he glared at the Spartan tutor who had very nearly taken his life just now.

Reborn smirked from in front of the speechless storm of the Vongola, watching as the occupants of the classroom Tsuna now found himself in just collectively gasped at the sight of Tsuna smashing into their room and coolly bringing it to a halt only to shout in a voice that was undoubtedly deeper than that of his usual self. Surprisingly enough - not for the ever-anticipating Reborn however - the students were more enthralled by the unanticipated arrival of Boss-Mode Tsuna than the fact that a human being had just been sent soaring out of a window and into theirs..

"What is it idiot student?" he called, clearly finding humour as he chuckled lightly from behind a hand if not only to frustrate the brunette moreso.

Tsuna grit his teeth and walked forward until he had a foot up on the splintered wood surrounding the window frame he had just barrelled through, "What are you doing?" he asked coolly, refusing to allow his anger to seep into his voice even an ounce. Tsuna however, was unaware of the effect that his boss-mode voice had on the female's within earshot, also being unaware of the reactions that he would undeniably have to bear with when their jaws returned from their unanticipated evacuation to the floor...

Reborn flicked the left side of his fedora up, correcting the slight slant it held prior, "Training of course" he smirked, holding back a grin as his student gripped his fingers to his palms, "Your reactions are still too slow" he informed, eyes locating every single student that watched all of this unfold, Gokudera standing back to watch how his Vongola would react to the crowds that now seeped into the corridors and grounds beneath them from the commotion.

Tsuna's eyes turned amber as his hyper-intuition kicked in, nearly imploding his brain from the migraine that came with the 'DANGER' buzzing so irately in his head from the obvious consequences of such a confrontation, "Doesn't take the blood of the Vongola to know that..." he muttered under his breath.

Tsuna sighed, "And why are you being so open about this Reborn?" he humoured. He was intelligent enough at this point to know that if Reborn was playing open-field like this then something was undoubtedly brewing in that sadistic little head of his.

Reborn chuckled as his reply and turned to Gokudera, "Tell Dame-Tsuna that his fight Hibari will be on the field of Namimori" he tilted his fedora down and sent chills down the spine of the Storm, "Seven; later today" he said inarguably before he walked past him, "I believe Hibari has warned you both of what will happen if he's late" he said before inexplicably disappearing.

Gokudera turned to see Tsuna in the identical hole of the building parallel to himself. What worried the bomber was the future bosses current predicament, the tuna-fish looking about the room with his usual chocolate-eyes to nearly jump out of his skin at the expressions of awe sent his way.

"Juudaime!" Gokudera shouted to his boss, leaning out of the hole of his building in an attempt to get to him despite clearly failing.

The students began to murmur as their consciousness returned to the lot of them

"Did you see-?"

"Dame-Tsuna just crashed through-"

"-and then he -"

"-landed it and then his voice-!"

"Wait!"

All muttering stopped as one girl stood up, knocking her chair over from the lightning-quick reaction and all eyes finding the destination in which her finger directed them to

"Look at his abs!" she shouted in disbelief, to which the class exploded into conversation and Tsuna very nearly considered jumping out of the window

"C-can...?"

A few approached him slowly

"C-can we touch...?"

Tsuna blinked and Gokudera nearly collapsed across the way.

...

...

"HIIIIIIEEEEE?!"

Aight, first chapter of a story relating to Tsuna's awesome rise to becoming a boss. Prepare for an overload of Tsuna awesome for those who stay tuned!

So, first question here will be; is this a story that people will want to see? Tsuna's still fourteen but I plan on having him advance through the years and become more and more experienced until he finally accepts the mantle of the Decimo of Vongola.

His other guardians and many other characters will show up throughout so you won't need to worry about that. I'm also considering a potential pairing maybe? Likely not happening now but maybe later on potentially; I do like Tsuna's association with the fairer sex :P

Anyway, please follow and favourite if you enjoyed my little starter here and PLEASE review if you can spare the time; they are the lifeblood of writers, I don't know what to change and what to improve or what to simply stick with if you don't tell me so please leave a review for anything you feel you need to mention

I'll crack another chapter out if it appears to be well-received, okay?

Au Revoir for now Readers! ^^
