So, in replacement of the story "Vongola" or whatever it was, I decided to make this one. Kinda... you know... lol. interesting? Imma go MIA in a few days... hope I can upload the next chapter or so.

The plot's timeline is after the Shimon arc, and the guardians are college age right now. The guardians are mostly all sophomores in college; Hibari is a sophomore as well, seeing as he should be a senior with Ryohei, but... he loves his school too much. This is probably... say, 5-6 years after the Shimon arc. Tsuna stepped forward to become the mafia boss, and they all gained some level of maturity, the most noticeable is Lambo, who is the only one in high school. Ryohei does pursue boxing to some extent, and Yamamoto follows his baseball dream in college too.

"What?" I shouted, leaping out of my seat behind my desk in my dorm room, turning towards the suit-clad man at the door. "The Vongola did WHAT?"

The messenger breathed deeply, preparing for the worst. "The Vongola disbanded. Permanently. It became official an hour ago," he said, flicking a piece of dust from his coat collar.

"Crap, I muttered, feeling my knees buckle out from underneath me. "Dammit... DAMMIT!" I roared. Gritting my teeth, I pounded my fist onto the hardwood desk. "Why... kosou." I locked eyes with the messenger, and told him to go. "You... I expect that Tsuna went into hiding after this... Hmph. Find that man, and tell him that the Tellino family boss wants to see him as soon as possible." Like a wraith, the man disappeared, fading into the shadows.

As for me, I was going to speak to the guardians myself.

(flashback to high school.)

I remember when I first me Tsunayoshi Sawada, back in high school. He was scrawny and short, with a giant head of spiky brown hair. The aura he exuded was simply described: No-good; loser. Sometimes, he wore that wierd dual ring thing on his finger; other days he would wear a simpler ring, fashioned akin to a class ring. Funny, I always thought, from the first moment that I saw him in my precal class, that I'd always thought he was a loser, so how did he get a class ring? We never spoke to each other until the teacher assigned a partner project. I was sick that day, Tsuna was... um... "out" that day, so I didn't have a choice, and I was partnered up with him the next day. (more like stuck)

"So... do you know how to do this?" I asked, gesturing to the trigonometry problems.

"Um...," he said softly. "Maybe?"

Sighing heavily, I confronted him sternly. "Look, either you know it or you don't. There isn't any maybe in this. Do you know the material?"

"Um... N-no..."

"What do you have in this class?" I asked, flicking my eyes upwards to his face. The cheeks were tinged slightly pink, and were turning redder. He said nothing.

"Are you passing?"

Still nothing.

-ding, ding, ding, ding- Crap. The bell... already?

"Well, stupid Tsuna, since we efficiently wasted all our time in class today, looks like I'm going to your place to finish it up. It's due tomorrow, so, we have to get serious and do the work. See you after school, kay?" With that, I was out the classroom door, leaving a spluttering Tsuna to figure out what I just said.

5:00 p.m., and I was still looking for his house. Man... so stupid. I was so stupid. I didn't even ask for his address, and I told him that I was going to his house. "Well," I sighed resignedly. "He's got to live somewhere around here..."

"Eeeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaaaah!" A sharp shriek pierced the air, and a kid in a cow suit flew out the window of a nearby house. "Lambo!" a voice cried; a figure appeared at the window, staring in shock as the child turned into a twinkle in the sky.

"Tsuna...?" I breathed.

"Well," a voice said from behind the figure in the window. "If you love that stupid cow so much, the go after him." THWACK! Tsuna was sent flying out the window, like the person behind him booted him out. He flew like a bird for a few seconds, but gravity caught up with him. Plummeting to the earth, he crashed into something that obstructed his descent to the ground... me.

"Yeeeowch! Watch it!" I yelped, rubbing my now tender backside. "Geez, Tsuna, does this happen every day at your house?"

"Hiiiiiiiie! I fell on Tatsuki? Sorry! Gomenasai!" the teen bowed in front of me, so much so that he broke the skin on his forehead with the rough pavement.

"You really are No-good Tsuna."

"What?" A baby appeared, smacking Tsuna's face back to the road when he looked up. There was just no explaining it, I guess. Tsuna was... wierd... almost as wierd as the baby in a suit that made him taste asphalt just now.

"Who are you?" I asked the baby, still slightly shocked that this toddler could talk, not to mention that he could pack a hefty punch.

"I'm Reborn, No-good Tsuna's hitman tutor." A cartoon chameleon leapt from the brim of his fedora, transforming into a gun. The infant, smirking, then pointed the gun at my forehead. "This isn't a toy," he said, perfectly calm with what he was doing.

I sat, butt still on the pavement. Judging by the circumstances, if I tried to run, the baby would kill me. If I said nothing, it probably would piss him off, and he would kill me. If it were fun for him, he would kill me. So, I did what I could. I blinked. "Okay. Cool." (not really. I was scared like you won't believe.)

The smirk on Reborn's face grew to a smile. "I like you. Want to join the mafia?"

"Reborn! You can't just make my classmates join the mafia like that!" Tsuna shouted, only to be hit in the face by a chameleon-slipper. As he recoiled from the blow, his class ring... thing rolled to a stop in front of me. "Um... sure, Reborn. Sounds fun, I guess," I said hesitantly, then picked up the ring. I was about to hand it back to the brown-haired teen, but he made no attempt to take it back from me; instead, he stared at it in my hand, mouth agape. "No... is that even possible, Reborn?"

"I don't know, Tsuna. Maybe... it could be possible. Your ring is a sky ring, after all, so the fact that she has a sky flame could only mean one thing..." His voice trailed off, as he stared at my hand as well, or more precisely, the ring that I was holding.

What was sos weird? I turned my eyes to what they were looking at, and saw a small orange flame flickering out of the jewel on the ring. Reflexively, I dropped it on the ground, and the tiny tongue of fire died as soon as it left my hand. Fire. On a ring. In my hand. Wait... it didn't hurt me... I think I need to check my sanity.

"Just what is this?" I asked, picking the ring up with my thumb and forefinger. Was it really a class ring? Probably not, because it said "Vongola" on it, but that wasn't the name of the school we went to... in fact, I had never heard of that school before. "Vongola," I said, looking at Tsuna, "What school is that?"

"It's the mafia that No-good Tsuna is part of," Reborn replied, jumping onto my shoulder. "Since you have sky flames, like Tsuna, you're fit to be boss of your own family."

"Mafia boss? Oh... sweet!" Sounded even better than the deal that he gave me earlier. I thought that I was just going to be a lackey or something. But being a boss of my own family... even better!

Reborn smiled, patting my head. "Okay. What do you want to name your family? Actually," He said, staring thoughtfully into the distance. "Your family could be the Tellino family."

"Tellino? Meaning...?"

"Little brother. You're going to be allied with the Vongola, and since your family is... new, you're a little brother to them. Tsuna here," he gestured to the teen, "is going to take you under his wing. He's the tenth boss of the family, one of the most powerful mafias in the world. The blood of the Vongola runs through him, and he is going to be the ally thats going to put you at the top of the mafia food chain."

This kid... this loser... was a mafia boss? Wow... looks can be decieving. "Mafia... as in?"

"Technically, he uses the mafia to protect his family."

"Reborn! You weren't supposed to tell her any of that!" Tsuna stood bolt upright, sweating slightly.

"Stupid Tsuna. She's your ally now. You have to get family rings made for her, as well as the guardians she chooses. As Vongola mafia boss, that is your current assignment."

Assignment. Snap. "Tsuna! Our partner project! It's due tomorrow!"

He glanced at the sky, seeing the setting sun. "Hiiiiie! Its getting dark already!" I had never heard a boy make that noise, much less a man.

"Juudaime!" One of two (or three) far away figures called, waving as they approached. "Hey, boss! Whatcha doin?"

Oh... buddha. I could tell that voice anywhere, much to my dismay. That raspy, throaty voice belonged to the super loud, super obnoxious, silver-haired, emo-looking teen in my history class. Ugh... Gokudera Hayato.

"Gokudera!" Tsuna shouted back, waving. I mentally blanched. Why was he calling him, of all people, over? "Yamamoto!" he said, grinning as Gokudera came forward with a tall, athletic looking teen; this black haired kid wore a grin, plastered wide on his face. A blonde baby was perched on his shoulder, wearing army cameo, a blue pacifier hanging from his neck.

"Tatsuki," Reborn said, gesturing to the other baby, "this is Colonello. He's going to be your hitman tutor. Yamamoto here, our rain guardian, is your go to guy if you have any questions, in case Tsuna is busy. I assume that you know who Hayato is?" Reborn looked at me, smirking. "Welcome to the mafia world."

Now that I thought it over, 4 years ago wasn't that far back in the past. I was a sophomore in college now, with most of my family members in college too.

Shinji- A year or so older. Rain guardian. Cynical, sarcastic, and kinda mean to me... He's comes off as brash, but is nice when you get to know him... sometimes. Uses a sword... sheathed, to hit me.

Isabella- Transferred to Japan from somewhere else in Asia... Cloud guardian. My age... actually a couple months younger. Ahaha... one of my closest friends. She's cool. :D Kusarigama, whatever those are.

Theresa- transferred to Japan from America. Storm guardian. Practically my sister. Just give her a blade, and she's set. (Don't give her a blade unless you want something to die. :3 )

Kanade- My own little sister. Thunder guardian. Chooses to have no weapon... because she doesn't know how to use one.

A.J.- Mist guardian. Asian, and taller than me. Tennis rackets are deadly. :) Kawaii.

Sam- super energetic sun guardian! Hangs out with Shinji alot. She likes to hit me more than Shinji does. In her hands, probably anything is a weapon...

I had stayed in touch with them, even though we went our separate ways after high school. I stayed in touch with Yamamoto and Colonello too, but for some reason, I lost contact with Yamamoto, much to my dismay. I wanted to find him, and I knew I probably could, but Colonello thought it was a bad idea.

"You shouldn't, kora. Reborn or Tsuna may have sent him off on a mission, so its dangerous to attempt to contact him, kora."

That was a week after I couldn't contact him. It had been several months since then, and now, I was seriously worried. He usually asked me what was going on with the Tellino family every couple or days or so, but now, there was nothing. Nobody could get a hold of any of the guardians.

"Augh... Stupid Tsuna!" I growled. "Why?"

Why split up the Vongola family?

UUUUUURRRRGHHHHH! I'm going MIA for a month, but I'll keep writing!

This idea came up when Tsuna shouted out to Giotto that he would -probably- split up the Vongola under certain conditions, so there IS a possibility that he would, okay?

Reviews= motivation= updates!
