Chapter 1: 50 Days Left

A lonesome black car was driving alongside the Italian coast as the sun slowly disappeared below the horizon. The smell of sea salt and cool air was a refreshing change to the narrow and steaming cities, which were currently populated with sweating tourist and Italians.

The only thing that could be heard was the gently rolling of the car alongside the road and the music in the background from the car radio. This was a truly idyllic view of a perfect road trip.

Well it would be idyllic if it weren't for the slight manic muttering of one of the two companions in the car.

"Oh. My. God. He is going to kill me. I'm so dead. What was I thinking about? Yeah this was my life, goodbye cruel world, it was nice living-"

"Tsuna" The girl, the other companion, stopped as she was trying to comprehend what he was talking about the last ten minutes. "What are you talking about?"

"Reborn! Gianna, Reborn is what is wrong!"

"What?" The girl, Gianna, furrowed her brows but didn't let her eyes leave the road. She saw from the corner of her eyes that Tsuna dragged his hands down his face and sighed loudly, like she was too stupid to understand when she didn't react as badly as he did.

"What do you think is going to happened if, no not if, when Reborn catches me?"

Gianna winced, she rather not think about that, she had seen him "tutoring" him. Tsuna, picking up a few traits from Reborn, read her expression and agreed.

"Exactly!"

"Come on Tsu-"

"-and I mean this is his car!" Tsuna waved his hands around to make a point, he started to sound slightly hysterical she thought and cringed.

"Calm down now Tsuna, we took out all the transmitters from the car, the navigator is off and he couldn't possible anticipates this trip, when we ourselves didn't even know about it! So tell me how could he possible track us?" She turned over to Tsuna to meet his gaze for just a few seconds.

"He is Reborn." he stated

"…"

"Oh my god, you really need this trip"

He sighed, but he guessed she was right about that one. From this day it's exactly fifty days until Tsuna would inherit the Vongola title and officially become the ruler of the biggest mafia family in the world.

Feeling nervous and stressed over the last few days he didn't argue that much against Ginna when she suggested this trip and of course it all seemed so great in the moment, when the adrenaline was rushing through the blood and not thinking about the consequences!

But as soon as the adrenaline disappeared and he realized what he had done, let just say he was slightly terrified of what it is to come when Reborn catches him.

But it was too late to turn back, he knew that. It was unnecessary to stress over some things, when he knew that Reborn would torture him until the day he died when he caught them, he just had to accept it

"You done?" Gianna glanced suspiciously over to Tsuna who had calmed down drastically over just a few seconds.

He laughed and looked out over the sunset "Yeah, I'm fine" as he thought: Aah life gets so much easier when you accept your death.

She smiled and said: "We'll let get this road trip started then."
