"Reborn, just the person I want to see." Tsuna said while walking towards the Fedora-wearing-man in front of him with a smile.
"Well I don't want to see a wimp, coming to beg to get you out of seeing the Ninth."Tsuna drops his knees to the ground and lifted up his head to see Reborn. "PleaseReborn, anytime gramps comes to see me it's 'cause one of my Guardians have gone crazy again. Just this once can you tell him in not to come?" Tsuna pleaded, but of course- there's no way that Reborn just give him a 'Yes' for an answer. This is Rebornwe're talking about.
"No, and he's coming here for a different reason." Reborn flicks him on the forehead- causing Tsuna to flinch and rubbed his forehead. Tsuna fling back on this back, he twitched at the pain but it's not as bad as it used be.
Tsuna is 19 years old and on his way on becoming Decimo of the Vongola Family Boss. His guardians have grown as well. Gokudera has married Haru and having a baby on the way. Yamamoto is kind as always. He has become a master of the sword, and baseball... Ryohei is loud as ever and has a girlfriend of his own. Lambo still cries buthe's mature to be around now.
Hibari has his own police force but not with the police... He is a strange one, always near Tsuna to help but far enough not to be seen. Chrome and Mukuro are like brother and sister. However, inreseparable. Tsuna had grown the most. His love for Kyoko is in the past, they are good friends now, even though Tsuna live, is Italy now- they still talksoften. Tsuna is a well known for his devil boy like looks and his smile carved from heaven.
"But since we are on the topic of your Guardians," Reborn continued, "They have messed up tonight's ball. They have eaten all the food for 100 people and messed up your costume tonight" A little sigh of relief appeared on Tsuna's face. He hated maskedballs; the costume he had to wear was so ugly even he had Lambo ruin it.
"Guess we are going to cancel this ball, isn't it?" A smirk appears on Reborn's face,"Too bad, the show must go on." Tsuna face sunk as Reborn said that, the smiles and hopes (?) he had a few moments ago has dissappeared. A faint knock at the double mahogany door can be heard, "Enter." Reborn said.
A young girl opened the door slightly and entered the room. After she bowed in respect- she told them that the Ninth was waiting. "Thank you, send him in." Reborn said.
"When did you get a new secretary? I don't even have one..."
"I didn't get a new one, I have four." As Tsuna's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief,the door opened fully. The Ninth entered with a single bodyguard on his side, "It's been a while, hasn't it," He looked around the room with a curiousity on his eyes, "I think we should have a talk, Tsuna." He smiled. No one spoked as Nono sat down on a red comfy couch in front of Tsuna's desk.
"There's no need to be nervous, relax." Said Ninth.
But, it didn't help Tsuna at all. He was still flidgeting on his own seats as Ninth look down on him. Ninth seems to be amused by Tsuna's actions, he let out a soft laughs. Tsuna felt his cheeks flushed red and raised his head to face the Ninth.
"Reborn had informed me that this wasn't about my Guardians, may I ask what is it about?" A deadly silence fell in the room, seconds fells like minutes in there.
"Tsuna, are you aware of the masquerade ball tonight?" Tsuna gave a nod, "Your position as the Vongola Decimo- you are required at some point to have a romantic partner before you can officially inherited the title to be the Tenth Boss of Vongola."
"W-What... I'm only 19 now, how can I have a fiancee? I haven't properly have a girlfiend yet- because of our bussiness, you know that as well Grandpa..." Tsuna's face looked soo sympathetic, "This is ridicilous... Reborn, tell him..."
"I have to agree with Nono, he's right." Tsuna shots his head around, "It's only going to be in name, by doing this you can bring a great rivals together as one. You can also bring peace between our enemies." Tsuna dropped his head in thought, he brought his hand to his chin and rubbed it softly.
"It would make it easier for you when you're the leader, instead of individually brings the families together. You have enough power to bring peace in the Mafia world." Tsuna crossed his arms and kept it close to his chest.
"I will leave you to think about it." The Ninth Boss of Vongola sat up and wals towards the door and open it- followed by his bodyguard behind. Before he leave the room, he look back to see Tsuna, " –Also, I've forgot to mention that every single girls coming to this ball is a candidate." And with that he left with a soft evil smile in his face.
Reborn shared a moment to think- after at least 30 minutes of silence, Tsuna huffed that makes Reborn's surprised. Tsuna said nothing and left from that room- leaving the smirking Reborn.
...
"A Fiancee! Fiancee! What is Reborn and Grandpa's thinking?! And in one night this is ridicilous." Tsuna said to himself as he walked down the corridor. Tsuna was soo confused and focused- even he didn't see what he had bumped into.
"HEY, it's bad for your head to think that hard to the extreme!" Roared Ryohei directly to Tsuna, after realized who had he bumped into- Tsuna brought his head up to see the person.
"What's wrong? You look pale."
"I'm... in a fix," Tsuna looked at Ryohei in the eye, "Can you get everyone? I want to ask your and the others' opinion on something- ah! Not Lambo, he's too young." Tsuna looked up at Ryohei with a puppy dog eyes, "Please..."
"ONLY IF YOU PRACTICE BOXING WITH ME!" Tsuna stepped back from the volume of his Sun Guardian's voice. Tsuna sighed and nodded. "TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei turned around and started air punching while walking. A smile slipped onto his face. It quickly disappeared as soon as he walked away.
