"Tsu-kun~ could you go check the mail for me?" Nana called out to her son through the kitchen.

"Okay, Kaa-san." Tsuna replied as he came down the stairs. The young brunette made his way to the door, put on his sandals and walked out the door. He proceeded to the front of the house to the mail box and opened it. He pulled out the contents of the mail box and took one last look in the mail box to make sure that he didn't miss anything. Looking closely he saw that there was one last letter in there. So, he reached in and grabbed the remaining letter. He was surprised to find that the letter was addressed to him. Curiosity swept over him, as he saw that there was no return address on it.

"I wonder what this is." He thought to himself, "It couldn't be a letter from the high schools I applied to. I guess I'll just find out what it is."

Tsuna started to open the letter and then immediately after ran inside to find the source of the problem that started this mess.

"Reborn! What is the meaning of this letter!"

The letter read:

Dear Sawada Tsunayoshi,

Congratulations! You are accepted as a first year student in secondary grade school in the Vongola Academy. We hope you enjoy your time in school and gain much knowledge in both the regular and mafia curriculum we have to offer you in the school. Classes start on the 15th of September.

Sincerely,

Principal and Staff

Reborn continued to look out the window as he replied, "The Vongola started a school so I applied in your name for the school and since you are going to be the Vongola Jyuudaime they accepted you right away. Plus, I'm going to be teaching there, you are far from ready to be losing me yet."

Tsuna gave out a frustrated sigh it was already getting close to the time for the high schools in Japan to start. What was he going to do while his friends went to school while he waited for the Vongola school to start? And didn't this mean that he was going to be by himself? Tsuna had to figure out a way to get out of this. He had enough of this crazy mafia business.

"Look Reborn, I know that you have to still train me and all. It's just I don't want to go all the way to Italy by myself. Who knows what could happen there. And also I'm sick and tired of all this mafia business. I just want to be a normal high school student for once."
"Okay," replied Reborn.

Tsuna gave a sigh of relief. He was proud of himself for telling Reborn what was on his mind.

"But you'll either get killed or forcefully dragged there. And I never said that you were going alone. Yamamoto and Gokudera are going with you, as well as the rest of your guardians and a couple of other people you know."

"Eh!" "So much for getting out of this," Tsuna thought to himself, "at least I'm not going to be there by myself."

Then again just the thought of going to a mafia school made him sick to his stomach, but there's no way out of this one. Maybe he'll enjoy it… Yeah right. It's a mafia school. Why would he enjoy going to a mafia school? Anything that had to do with the mafia meant a lot of trouble.

The rest of the day Tsuna was a total mess. He couldn't stop thinking of worse case scenarios that could happen to him. It was just so horrible, the thought of going to a mafia school.

"Jyuudaime~!"

Suddenly, Gokudera came running up the stairs and went into Tsuna's room where Tsuna was sitting on his bed looking lifeless from thinking up worst case scenarios.

"Jyuudaime did you hear about the awesome news~?" Gokudera happily chimed to his lifeless boss, "We get to go to the Vongola Academy! It's the best mafia school in Italy or so the pamphlet I got said."

Tsuna just looked at his happy storm guardian, "Ah, I heard. Reborn told me. This isn't good, it's a total nightmare! What if something bad happens?" he replied while putting his hands through his hair like he usually did when he was frustrated.

"Don't worry Jyuudaime I'll protect you." Gokudera replied, "If anybody wants to hurt you they'll have to go through me."
"Ha ha, thanks Gokudera-kun."

"Don't worry Tsuna, I'm sure it'll be okay," Yamamoto said coming into the room, "The kid wouldn't put you through something that was dangerous."

"Oh Yamamoto, I guess you're right."

"Yakyuu-baka! What are you doing here!"

"Ha-ha Oyaji had a lot of leftover sushi, so I thought I'd bring it over and share~ I hear that the Vongola school has a baseball team, that won me over."

"Che, a simpleton as always."

"Ha-ha, well how about we just relax for now and eat some sushi?"

"Ah, I'll go get some drinks." Tsuna said as he went out the door.

He got the drinks and then came bounding back up the stairs. Putting out the food and the drinks the three boys said a quick itadakimasu before they dug in to their food. Tsuna was trying really hard not be a party pooper and start thinking about how scary going to a mafia school was going to be. He couldn't help it, the unpleasant thoughts kept on swirling through his head over and over again. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He lay down on the floor as he started to bawl.

"Eh? What's wrong Tsuna?"

"Jyuudaime! Did the stupid baseball idiot's sushi poison you or something!"

"No that's not it Gokudera-kun." Tsuna said as he got up and started to wipe his tears, "it's just that I can't help but think about going to the Vongola Academy."

"Huh, then why are you crying then Tsuna?" Yamamoto bluntly stated, "Isn't it going to be a fun experience?"

Tsuna just sighed Yamamoto really is extremely carefree, "Well, I don't really think it will be like that Yamamoto."

Yamamoto and Gokudera just sat there looking at Tsuna wondering why their boss wasn't as happy as them to be going to such an awesome school like the Vongola Academy.

"The thing is, it'll be really scary!" Tsuna continued, "Just think it's a mafia school! There's bound to be a lot of scary guys that'll try to kill us!" Or I'll get picked on, even worse than if I went to a school here."

Yamamoto just looked at his boss then smiled. Patting Tsuna on the back, Yamamoto replied, "Don't worry Tsuna. If anybody tries to hurt you, I'll take care of them for you." So don't worry you're not alone. You have us to watch out for you and protect you."

"Ya-yamamoto…" Tsuna looked at his rain guardian with admiration.

"Che, Yakyuu baka trying to act all cool."

"Stop being so pessimistic Dame-Tsuna. If you're so worried, how about we go to Italy and take a look at the school. Ryohei is already there at the school."

"Eh? Onii-san is!"

"Ah. So tomorrow we'll fly to Italy and go check out the school and see how Ryohei is doing."

"Ah." Everyone replied in unison.

*the next day*

Tsuna and Reborn were standing in the airport waiting for the others to come. Tsuna took a glance at his watch and the time read 9:30. The flight was at 10:30, Tsuna looked around trying to see if he could see anybody.

"I hope Gokudera-kun and Yamamoto make it on time." Tsuna said half to himself and half out loud.

"Gokudera and Yamamoto aren't the only one's coming." Reborn replied.

"Eh? Who else is coming?"

"Chrome, I-pin, Fuuta and unfortunately the idiot cow."

"Eh? Even Chrome? Wow I didn't even think she would come."

"Jyuudaime~ sorry I'm late I had to pick up a few last things before I came."

"Ah, Gokudera-kun it's fine. Have you seen Yamamoto or anybody else yet?"

"No, not yet. Even if they don't show up we can enjoy this trip by ourselves~"

"Then there would be no point to this trip," stated Reborn from atop of Tsuna's head.

"Che."

"Gyahahahahaha~!"

Tsuna and Gokudera turned, only to see Lambo in Yamamoto's arms, I-pin in Chrome's arms and Fuuta standing next to Yamamoto. Tsuna looked down at his watch the time read 9:45. He sighed in relief. At least they made it in time.

"Sorry we're late Tsuna. Lambo wouldn't let go of your Mom for the longest time."

"It's okay at least you made it."

" Tch Ahou Ushi making the boss worry."

"Tsuna-nii~ Shouldn't we go find where our flight is?"

"Ah, Fuuta is right. Let's get going everyone."

When the time came everyone gathered onto the plane and off they went to Italy. Everyone went to sleep right away on the plane. The only one that was up was Tsuna who couldn't help but wonder what the Vongola Academy was going to like. It is a mafia school so it's definitely going to be different than any school he has ever been to before. As he imagined every possible thing it could be. He noticed that it was soon going to be morning. Tsuna looked out the window and just sighed to himself. It's been three hours since he was on the plane and he hasn't gotten a wink of sleep.

"I wonder if the school is going to be huge with a bunch of scary looking people as the guards. And the place is going to bust up with a lot of graffiti and other unpleasant stuff on it. I wonder if it'll have a decent bathroom to use. I guess I better make sure that I use the bathroom before I go anywhere." Tsuna sighed to himself again. These thoughts swirled through his mind weren't making anything easier for him to bear. "Well I guess I'll just have to see when we get there." He finally concluded.

"Everyone please get ready and buckle your seatbelts we are preparing to land." The captain said over the radio.

Tsuna looked out the window again and saw flush green land. From what he could see everything looked so beautiful it was like he was entering a dream land.

"So what do you think of Italy, Tsuna?"

"Eh? Oh Reborn you're awake. It's beautiful from what I can see through the window."

"Ah. She is beautiful indeed."

"Feels good to be back huh Reborn?"

"Ah, it sure does."

With a loud screech and a bang they landed safely in Italy. The gang soon came bounding out of the plane. They grabbed their bags and were heading for the door, when something occurred to Tsuna. How the heck are they going to get around? Wait a second. This is Reborn they're talking about. There's probably like a huge bunch of people waiting for the arrival of the Decimo and his guardians, if Reborn had anything to do with it. They went to the gate and Tsuna was surprised to see that there was no huge group of people. There was just a girl standing there holding up a sign and when she spotted them she ran up to them.

"Rebo-chan bentornati~ it's so good to see you," she picked up Reborn and kissed both of his cheeks.

Getting a closer look Tsuna could see that she was very beautiful. She had long brown hair and really pretty blue eyes. By her clothes you could tell that she either belonged to a professional business or the mafia. She wore a dress shirt with a black tie and coat and on the bottom she wore a black skirt and black boots.

"Benvenuti decimo," she said while turning to Tsuna.

"This is De Lucha Yuuhi." Reborn stated, "She works for the Kyuudaime as well as the Varia.

"Everyone is very busy today, so I was asked to greet everyone and bring you to the HQ." Yuuhi said with a smile. "Well, let's get going. I bet you guys are tired and hungry."

"Um De Lucha-san….when are we going to visit the school?"

"Oh, we'll be visiting it tomorrow and please call me Yuuhi, Tsu-chan."

"Eh? Ah, Yuuhi-san."

After chasing down Lambo for about ten minutes they all went into the limo and were on their way to the Vongola HQ. Tsuna looked out the window and took in the breath taking scenery. Italy definitely was a place for romance. It certainly is beautiful. If only he could bring Kyoko-chan here he thought to himself. Finally, they made it to the HQ.

"Tsu-chan welcome to the Vongola HQ."

From the outside the building looked huge. With windows on every floor, the place looked at least three or four stories high. There were green vines growing around. On the inside it definitely confirmed that the place was huge. In the entrance there was a grand staircase that looked like something from a castle from a fairy tale book. Hanging from the ceiling was a sign that said Bentornati Decimo on it. Suddenly, they heard a scream; they turned, only to see a young maid looking really surprised. Soon she started to yell out "Decimo `e qui!" Soon a whole bunch of people came from all over and started to crowd Tsuna and all started hugging him and kissing him. Then they migrated to the guardians and Reborn. Tsuna just stared in a daze. He never thought people could be so affectionate to somebody they never met before.

"That's how Italians are Tsu-chan. We're very passionate and affectionate people."

"Don't worry you'll get used to it."

Tsuna just nodded and looked towards his friends. Chrome was very scared and startled by all the commotion. Gokudera looked like he didn't care as well as Lambo, Fuuta and Yamamoto. Yuuhi looked and saw Chrome's distress. She walked over to them spoke something in Italian then pulled Chrome out of the monstrous crowd.

"T-thank you…" Chrome said to Yuuhi.

She just smiled then wandered off.

"Eh? Where is Yuuhi-san going to?"

"Probably to get the Kyuudaime. He should of just have finished a meeting."

"Oh, I see."

After a couple of minutes of waiting Yuuhi came back helping the Kyuudaime down the stairs.

"Tsunayoshi-kun, it's so good to see you again. My, how you've grown."

"Ojii-chan, it's nice to see you again. How have you been?"

"I'm holding up fine."

"That's good to hear."

"You guys must be tired and hungry. We'll get you guys cleaned up while dinner is still being prepared. Yuuhi, could you please show our guests to their rooms and where they can get cleaned up."

"Of course, this way everyone."

As they were walking everyone was admiring the beautiful furnishing and paintings that were all over the place. The Vongola were definitely a family with great power and influence throughout the mafia world. Tsuna just couldn't take it all in at once. He wasn't from a poor family but a middle class family and for him to see such expensive things all over a mansion was something that was going to take a long time to get use to that's for sure.

"Well through this door on the right is where you boys will be sleeping and the door on the left is where the girls will be sleeping," said Yuuhi as they stopped in the middle of a long hallway with many doors. Each door had a sign on it with different pictures on it. The one that the boys were going to sleep in had a picture of a sea shell and the one that the girls were going to sleep in was a picture gun.

"Well I'll be taking my leave. If you need anything, feel free to press the third button on the panel that's inside of your room. Also there are three bathrooms in each room so feel free to use them."

And with that Yuuhi walked off. The four teenagers and the four kids looked at each other and gave a shrug. Then they decided they would go check them out. They nodded to each other then opened the door to their rooms. Inside Chrome and I-pin's room there were at least three beds once they entered the room. Each bed had a table stand with a light. The bedding were matching on all three beds. It was a golden yellow with daisies and sunflowers on it. All in all it was definitely a room made for girls. As they walked farther into the room they saw that the next part of the room was like an entertainment room. It had a beautiful sofa with matching pillows and two love seats at each end of the sofa. On the end of the room there was a flat screen plasma TV, complete with PS3, blu-ray player, and a Wii. On the left side of the room there was an opening that led to three different bathrooms. Each complete with a toilet, sink and bathtub/shower.

"Wow this is a really big room."

"Ah."

The boys entered their room it was pretty much the same as the girl, but of course the bedding and furnishing was made more for boys. Also there was one more bed then the girls.

"Wow this is a really huge room it's as big as Oyaji's restaurant," stated Yamamoto.

"Ah, it's really huge."

"Che, it's pretty big I guess. It's a little bit bigger than the room I had at my father's house."

"According to my ranking, the Vongola family is number one in having nice guest rooms."

"Wow the Vongola really is amazing. Everyone let's get cleaned up and then head to dinner."

"Ah."

After getting cleaned up they went straight to dinner. The dinner of course was really good and everyone was completely satisfied. Now it was time for bed. Tsuna once again could not sleep. What was the Vongola Academy going to be like? This was a question that haunted through his mind even as he drifted off to sleep.

Finally, it was time. The four teenagers and the four kids stood in front of the gate to the school. You couldn't see anything since there was a huge brick wall that surrounded the school. Even the gate was closed off with beautiful white wooden doors that had a sea shell in the middle. The top of the gate said Vongola Academy on top of it. Tsuna and the rest gulped (well except for Reborn of course) and Tsuna pushed opened the gate. Everyone stepped inside this unknown world called the Vongola Academy.

Italian words that were used:

Bentornati: welcome back

Benventui: welcome

Decimo e` qui: the tenth is here (sorry if my translation is wrong)
