Chapter One:A New Hitman Adventure Begins
It was exactly 7 hours and 40 minutes when an infant dressing a black mini suit and a black fedora with orange ribbon, was trying to wake up a boy, whose hair was brown and completely disheveled. It could be a common thing if the one trying to wake the boy up wasn't a mafioso in an infant form. The poor petit, whose smirk was getting wider every second, was already on his fourth attempt to wake that boy in deep sleep, when he finally had an answer from the brunet. But what happened the next second only caused to his patience wears thin over Tsuna.
"Oi! Wake up!" his incredibly childish voice echoed through the room, "Wake up now or you'll regret later!"
"Just five more minutes, mom!" The boy pleaded with a sleepy voice, turning to the other side of the bed, completely ignoring the dark aura that spread around his bedroom. Little he knew he was about to face hell in earth.
That was it. An evil smirk spread across the infant's face and he tilted his fedora hat. The infant, Reborn, that's how he is called, jumped on the boy and a gun magically appeared in his hand. Leon had been transformed from his chameleon form to a gun.
"Well, I warned you..." He pulled the trigger and soon after a gunshot was heard.
"REEBOOOOOORN!"
When Tsunayoshi Sawada, but called by many as Tsuna for short—a sixteen-years-old boy and a Namimori's High school student, went to the kitchen, he came upon a scene more than normal to him after three years living with his beloved, no, sadistic tutor known as Reborn who came to be his mafia tutor. I-pin, a little Chinese girl, and Lambo were arguing about something trivial. Maybe Lambo was trying to steal that little hitman's food. Again.
"Hm..." Murmured a young mother with a friendly smile on her face. "What was that noise earlier, Tsu-kun?" His mother asked with a calm voice.
"It was nothing, mom." Tsuna answered with a bored expression and his eyes landed on the infant beside him. Reborn doesn't give him a rest every single day, only to make his student's life like a living hell. Maybe he should think of him as a mere and the main source of entertainment, as a toy. Well, exactly as a toy.
Remembering about that, he let out a long sigh.
"Tsuna!"
And speaking of the devil, Tsuna thinks, preparing himself for what would come next.
"Yes, Reborn..." Tsuna said in a discouraged tone, looking at the baby who had jumped in the chair he always sat when he was at the table.
"Do you know what time is it?" he challenged nonchalantly.
The boy tilted his head, with eyebrows furrowed. That question was rather curious. If he remembered well, not even before Reborn asked him such question when he could easily obtain the answer. So, it was quite intriguing.
"Huh? Hours?" he sounded clueless and looked at his watch. He understood at the same moment why Reborn asked him the hours. And before he could give an answer to the arconaleno, he let out his famous squeak.
His eyes widened in a second and in a quick movement, he grabbed a plate of toast.
"I'm late!" And he went out of the house, running really fast. "I'm off!"
An unnoticeable smirk appeared on Reborn's face. He knew it; he really couldn't stop using Tsuna as his toy. How could he? It was so easy put the boy in an uncomfortable situation and was amusing watch his reactions.
"Damn, that Reborn. He could have at least told me I was this late!" he sighed. The young boss walked with a hand pressing his belly, doing a pained expression. "I was so rushed and didn't have time to appropriately ate my breakfast."
He was caught in surprise when his stomach rumbled, making his face turn a deep red.
"Argh, perfect!" he stopped walking and caught a deep breath. "And now my tummy is rumbling!"
Before looking up, he heard footsteps coming closer.
"Yo, Tsuna!"
"Juudaime!"
Tsuna spun on his heel and saw that Yamamoto and Gokudera were walking toward him.
"G-Gokudera-kun! Yamamoto!" Tsuna greeted, smiling to his friends. "Good morning!"
"Good morning, Juudaime!" Gokudera said respectfully to Tsuna, as usual. Then he looked to the raven-haired boy next to him, Yamamoto, and frowned. "Tch! And why the hell did you have to come along too, you baseball freak?"
It didn't offend the raven-haired boy at all, and he just smiled widely.
"Maa, maa! Isn't it best when you walk to school with your friends? As they say: the more, the merrier!" Said the Rain Guardian calmly while they resumed their walk to school.
As expected of Yamamoto, calm as ever, Tsuna thought before hearing his own belly complaining about the lack of food again. He quickly raised his right hand and pressed it, and he immediately got embarrassed.
"I-I'm sorry." He said blushing.
"There is no reason to apologize, Juudaime!" Gokudera assured, although he himself was also with his cheeks in a bright color of red.
Yamamoto gave his usual laugh making Tsuna laugh as well.
It has been three years since he has been making this same walk to the school with his friends, who were his guardians as well. And it has been three years since he was introduced to the mafia world, and thinking about such things made him sigh; certainly, time had passed too quickly. Though he is always saying he don't want to be a mafia boss, Reborn never listen to what he say and Tsuna always has to do what the tutor ask him to.
Since the hard battle in the future and the confusion with the Simon family, Tsuna and his guardians were having problems, one after another. Rivals families coming to assassinate the soon-to-be Tenth Vongola had turned more than routine, even the brunette hated to admit it, but this whole situation had become ridiculous.
He definitely couldn't be the new head of the Vongola. This situation was too frightening. He didn't want it; especially after hearing the last words spoken by Daemon Spade in his battle when the Simon family was deceived.
"Ah!" he sighed again.
Being an exaggerated person as he was, Gokudera stopped walking immediately and run at his boss' side.
"Did something happen, Juudaime?" he, the self-proclaimed right-hand man of the Tenth Vongola, asked in concern.
Tsuna cursed himself for showing his concerns.
"Hmm… Not really, I was only thinking about the battle against Daemon," he said, feeling a shiver go through his spine as he remembered once again what happened at the time, "And what he told me before he could finally rest in peace next to his beloved Elena."
"There's nothing to worry about, Tsuna!" Yamamoto assured him, giving him one of his best smiles to cheer his friend.
"Damn you..." Gokudera growled at Yamamoto. "I was about to say it! But, although it pains me to say it, baseball freak is right, Juudaime! That fucking bastard D. Spade has already been defeated and he can no longer do anything to warm you."
This isn't what I was concerned about Gokudera-kun, Tsuna thought discouraged. What really concerned him was the real possibility of Daemon really doing something if Tsuna mess up the Vongola. B-But wait… Why am I thinking about it? It's as if I willing to be the boss and I won't be! Never!
He shook his head, definitely pushing away this idea out of his mind.
"Yes, you guys are right." He said giving a small laugh.
The bell rang announcing the end of one more period, but this one was much more expected by the brown-haired boy which hair was able to defy the laws of gravity. He stood up from his desk, stretched himself and took his bento from under the desk.
"I was about to die any minute… I really hate math." He said to himself, laughing after. "Reborn would probably kick me if he heard it."
"I'm glad you guessed it, dame-Tsuna." Said a childish voice and before Tsuna could turn around to face who spoke, he was thrown to the floor by a direct kick in the chest.
"Ouch! What the… Reborn! It hurts!" Tsuna shouted, both surprised and angry at the same time. He massaged the affected area in the chest in an attempt to make the pain go away.
"Juudaime! Tsuna!" Gokudera and Yamamoto were heading toward to their boss who was lying on the ground and offered help stretching out their hands.
"T-Thank you, guys." Said the brown-haired boy taking their hands and then looked at the baby hitman who was now on his desk. "Hey, Reborn! Why did you do that for?"
"Reborn-san!" Gokudera acknowledged looking at the baby mafioso.
"Ciaossu!" Reborn said in his customary greeting.
"Yo, kiddo!" Yamamoto grinned. "It's always funny to see how you always salutes Tsuna, haha!"
"You baseball bastard!" Gokudera grunted to Yamamoto. "In what way it's funny to see Juudaime like that? You can't be serious! No offence, Reborn-san," he quickly added. "It isn't one bit funny!"
"Gokudera-kun, please don't fight Yamamoto, ne?" Tsuna pleaded.
"If you're asking me Juudaime, then I won't." Gokudera said retreating, but clearly unhappy.
"Haha!" Yamamoto laughed again.
H-He really has no idea of the situation!, Tsuna sweatdropped.
"Reborn!" Tsuna turned his attention to the sadistic home-tutor. "What are you doing here anyway?"
Reborn smiled sadistically before answering. Somewhat, it made a bad impression on Tsuna.
"I need to make an announcement and for that I'll need all the guardians here. Well, everyone but that stupid cow, of course." He said with an expression of amusement clearly stamped on his small face. "Tsuna!" He called out in an imperial tone.
"Y-Yes?" Tsuna was already fearing what he would hear next.
Reborn smirked as he pictured the next reaction of his stupid student.
"Go find Hibari and bring him along with you, we'll be on the roof."
It was as he expected. Tsuna was a little slow when it comes to thinking, but when he understood what he had just asked him to do, his eyes went wide as if someone was trying to gouge them out of his skull.
"EEH? NO WAY!" he shouted, shaking his head .
That was one of last things he wanted to do. Kyoya Hibari wasn't someone you could just order around, if you wanted to live and see the sun rise the next day, that is.
Reborn smirked evilly, "Yes way. So go!"
After about ten minutes trying to persuade Kyoya Hibari, Vongola's Cloud Guardian, Tsuna finally spoke the keyword to make him, who was already with his tonfas prepared to bite to death, follow him to the place agreed by Reborn. But in the end, Tsuna felt like he had lost some years of his life as Hibari and him walked up the stairs to the roof.
Though Hibari was already formed in high school, he remained in the Student Committee as the Prefect—just like he did in middle school. Perhaps no one was able to hold that title with so pride as much as Kyoya, or perhaps no one was able to just by fearing of having to confront the man and being bitten to death. And not even the Principal seemed like it bored him. No one dared to say no to the scary guardian.
"Dame-Tsuna, why did you take so long?" Asked the tutor when his student and the cloud guardian entered the roof.
"I-I was trying to bring Hibari-san." And everyone could clearly see in what deplorable state he was; he was with already dark red bruises formed in his arms and his right cheek was swollen. "Hibari-san didn't want to hear me at first."
Reborn sighed and shook his head.
"What a pathetic sign, you don't even know how to control his own subordinates."
He says that because he doesn't know what I've been through, Tsuna thought tiredly.
"Juudaime!" Gokudera called out. "Are you all right?" He pointed to the numerous bruises in Tsuna's arms. "That Hibari bastard! How dare him do this to Juudaime! I'll go beat the crap outta him!" He shouted, already getting in hands his dynamites and lit them with his cigarette.
"G-Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna exclaimed nervously, stopping him before he could get hurt, or worse, blowing up the whole school and then surely making the cloud guardian angry. An angry Hibari was never good. "You don't have to, Hibari-san is already here. See?"
Gokudera looked at Hibari, who was ignoring them, and bit his bottom lip.
"If Juudaime says so…" And he put his dynamites back inside of his clothes. "Well, why you called us here, Reborn-san?"
"Before I explain," Reborn said tilting his fedora hat a little forward. "Would you like to come out of hiding, Mist Guardian, Dokuro Chrome?"
"C-Chrome?" Tsuna asked looking surprised towards to a fragile-looking girl coming to him.
"Boss." She said shyly. "Mukuro-sama couldn't come, then I came in his place."
"I see." Tsuna said feeling a bit relaxed, he still felt pretty uncomfortable with Mukuro's presence.
"Now we're very reunited to the EXTREME!" Ryohei Sasagawa shouted making everyone close their ears with their hands, especially Tsuna who was next to his senior.
"Haha, senpai, always excited." Yamamoto laughed of his senior's antics.
"Tch. Sports freaks."
Reborn cleared his throat.
"Now that everyone is here." Reborn began, jumping to Tsuna's shoulder and pulling out from inside his black hat a letter, which was sealed with a red seal and then showed to everyone.
That red seal...! It can't be! Tsuna thought, starting to get alarmed.
"R-Reborn, don't tell me…" He said to the petite in his shoulder, trying to find the right words. "The Ninth…"
"That's right, dame-Tsuna." Reborn said with a smile. "Just like at that time, I still think it's early, but it seems that the Ninth believe this time you'll be ready."
"What's it, Reborn-san?" Gokudera asked looking at the letter to the hitman with furrowed brows.
"Read the letter to them, Tsuna." Reborn ordered.
"B-But I can't read Italian, Reborn! Don't say such ridiculous things!" he argued trying to sound convincing to his tutor to stop to ask the impossible.
"Once dame-Tsuna, always dame-Tsuna." Reborn sighed, "Well, it can't be helped. Here, Gokudera." He opened the sealed letter and handed it to Hayato Gokudera.
Gokudera, Vongola's Storm Guardian and self-proclaimed Tsuna's right-hand man, read it with an increasingly surprise in his eyes. Then, he looked from the letter to Tsuna with surprise and happiness all over his face.
"T-This…" he spoke practically with no voice.
"Gokudera?" Yamamoto asked worried. "What happened? What does it say in the letter?"
"Spit it out, octopus head!" Ryohei shouted. "What EXTREMELY says in this letter?"
"Juudaime!" Gokudera said going toward to his boss with tears in his eyes, like happiness in person. "I'm very happy for you, Juudaime! This time everything will be alright!"
"I knew it…" Tsuna said disoriented. "Argh! Why me? How many times I have to say?" And he messed up his hair in a desperate act. "I DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF THE MAFIA!"
"Kiddo… What's going on?" Yamamoto asked again, looking at the desperate Tsuna who was crouched on the floor crying about his bad luck. "What says in this letter?"
"Basically: in two weeks from now dame-Tsuna will officially receive the title of "Tenth Vongola" at the Vongola's inheritance ceremony, and you guardians as well."
"WOW!" Ryohei and Yamamoto exclaimed at the same time.
"Congratulations, Tsuna! Haha!" Said Yamamoto laughing.
"Oh, Sawada, I don't quite understand it but, EXTREME!" Ryohei punched the air and he slapped 'mildly' Tsuna's shoulder, who almost feel by the boxer's force.
"O-Onii-san… You too?" Tsuna said discouraged.
"Boss, congratulations." Chrome said shyly but she gave him a comfortable smile.
"…" Hibari.
They can only be kidding me; about I becoming a mafia boss… It isn't one bit funny thinking about! Tsuna thought and gave a weary sigh before returning to his state of despair from moments ago.
"WHY!" It was what the entire school heard.
Reborn smirked as watched in amusement the despair of his useless student while he thought how Tsuna wasn't being honest with himself. The hitman knew that the brown haired boy had already agreed to be their boss long ago, somewhere deep inside him, but he won't admit it.
Why you still refuse then? he thought as if he wanted the boy to read his thoughts right now. Why do you keep on denying it?
And then he heard Tsuna calling him, surely wanting to scold him for sure.
"Why Reborn? Why do you have to do this to me?" And that question made him smile a true smile.
Because it's fun, dame-Tsuna, he thought, smirking.
