Read and Review!

Mistakes are mine, this is unbetaed... if you see one don't hesistate to inform me! :D

Unfortunately, I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. If I did, I would elaborate on Reborn's past more... but that's just me I guess.

A Day in the Life

Chapter One

...

..

.

Tsuna groaned loudly, slumping in his chair.

"I've already said this a thousand times, Reborn. I absolutely refuse to be the next boss!" he protested.

Said infant proceeded to respond with a roundhouse kick to the poor teenager's head. Tsuna fell to the floor, clutching his head and whining about his home tutor's sadism. Reborn flawlessly landed on his desk before commencing the usual lecture.

"And how many times have I told you, Dame-Tsuna, that you don't really have a choice? There's no one else. The Ninth's sons were all killed and Xanxus doesn't have Vongola blood." the Arcobaleno said matter-of-factly. Reborn paused for a moment before speaking once again. "Now, you and your guardians are going to Italy to see the Ninth and that's final. Understand?"

Tsuna, realizing the lack of options, nodded miserably. He picked himself up from the floor and brushed off the nonexistent dust from his clothing.

"Alright then, let's go to Italy."

A while later, Tsuna and most of his guardians had gathered at the airport. It was a good thing Reborn had decided not to go.

He'd hoped that his guardians would be too busy like his tutor or just didn't want to go. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

When he'd called Yamamoto, the swordsman had laughed cheerfully and said it sounded like fun. Gokudera had of course yelled enthusiastically into the phone that it was an honor and he wouldn't miss it for the world. Ryohei only agreed to go because he'd heard of a new form of (EXTREME!) boxing in Italy. Lambo had demanded to tag along although Tsuna originally hadn't planned to bring him, and as for Hibari and Mukuro, both had refused to travel with him and left for Italy by themselves. Chrome, of course, had gone with Mukuro and his gang.

Tsuna sighed heavily and rubbed his temple in an effort to soothe the beginnings of a headache. It seemed he was getting a lot of these lately. Right now, they were all in line waiting to get their bags checked.

"Sir I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to come with me," the security guard said sharply to Gokudera.

The ill-tempered bomber scowled and decided to comply with the officer's wishes just this once. He turned back to look at Tsuna and waved. "Don't worry about me Tenth! Nothing can keep us apart for very long!" the silver haired teen shouted jovially.

Tsuna slapped a hand to his forehead and groaned. Gokudera had forgotten to remove all the explosives from his body! Great. This was certainly helping his headache.

"Haha! Don't worry Tsuna!" Yamamoto said slapping a hand to the brunette's back. "The guard probably thought Gokudera's toys were real! I don't blame him, they look really lifelike!"

"Tsuna! Lambo-san wants candy!" the five year old shrieked from across the room. Thankfully, Lambo and Ryohei had managed to check-in without any problems.

Tsuna took several deep breaths to calm himself. It wouldn't do for the future Vongola Tenth to die from stress would it? He would forever go down in history as Dame-Tsuna!

"Everyone calm down," he said in an eerily quiet voice. "This is what we're going to do. First, we will finish checking in. After that we will calmly wait for the plane. We will give these nice people no more problems alright?"

All his guardians momentarily stopped their roughhousing to gape at the normally timid male and nod in fear. Even Yamamoto raised an eyebrow in surprise. Their boss sure could be scary sometimes.

While they were waiting to board, Yamamoto looked around curiously.

"Hey Tsuna, where's Gokudera? Did he ever get back?" he questioned.

Tsuna shrugged as he tried to steer a very hyper Lambo away from the vending machines. It'd been a terrible idea to give in to the cow's requests and buy him candy, they soon found out. Tsuna peered past the rows of empty seats and trashcans to see if the bomber was there, but to no avail. Gokudera was nowhere to be found.

"We are now ready to board flight 27 bound to Sicily." the announcer's voice rang out. "Those with children may now board first."

At the mention of children, Lambo laughed maniacally and raced toward the counter.

"I knew I'd go first! Lambo-san is the king!" he cheered. Crowds of people grumbled as the immature mafioso weaved his way past a labyrinth of bodies.

"Lambo, wait to the extreme!" Ryohei shouted as he gave chase to the child. Tsuna gave yet another deep sigh and followed the two towards the front of the line, ignoring the disgruntled murmurs from the families who were supposed to be first.

The woman at the counter looked a little startled at the odd group but tried to hide it as she ran the usual routine. "May I please see your tickets?" she questioned.

Tsuna handed her the tickets and to his surprise, they managed to get into the plane and take their seats without any further mayhem.

He leaned back into the seat and relaxed. "Maybe the rest of this trip won't be so bad," he said hopefully. Beside him, Yamamoto laughed and replied amiably, "A little quiet every now and then is nice too!"

The newfound peace wouldn't last long, however. As the plane's doors closed and the rest of the passengers got settled, the pilot's voice was heard through the plane's speakers.

"What did I tell you Tenth? Nothing can keep us apart!" Gokudera said cheerfully. The other passengers looked around confused. That didn't sound like a pilot!

Tsuna slumped onto his seat and covered his face with his hands. Of all the things that could've happened why this? Did someone up there hate him this much?

His self-proclaimed right hand man's voice echoed from the speakers once again. "Okay! Everyone who isn't with Tenth, get the hell out!" he yelled. "You heard me! If you aren't Vongola, scram!"

The passengers, mistaking this as a kidnapping and hijacking attempt, quickly panicked. Inside the plane, utter chaos reigned. Mothers screamed for help, fathers hatched escape plans, and children surveyed the disorder with excitement. The rest of Tsuna's guardians however, sat there calmly. Well, for the most part.

Lambo bounced up and down on the worn seat and began complaining again. "Why does Stupidera get to drive? Lambo-san could do it much better!" At this, Ryohei picked him up and told him to be extremely patient.

Soon enough, the in-flight stewardesses came out of the cockpit and struggled to find a way through. Once every stewardess was at all of the possible exits, they proceeded to open them. The unruly crowd quickly quieted and waited for them to speak.

One of the women looked around nervously before managing to stutter a few words. "Could all civilian passengers please calmly make your way to the nearest exit? We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience. It appears we have some... important guests that need to borrow the plane."

As soon as she finished talking, all hell seemed to break loose once again. The passengers, sensing something potentially dangerous to them was happening, flocked out of the aircraft by the dozens. They hurriedly took their baggage and scrambled back to the airport. When the plane had emptied and all the exits were shut again, Tsuna shut his eyes tightly and sighed for the millionth time that day. There went the peace and his sanity.

"Wow Octopus-head! You managed to get us a private plane! Extremely impressive!" Ryohei exclaimed as he ran up and down the aisle.

Yamamoto looked around the deserted plane and chuckled. "This is great and all Gokudera, but do you actually know how to fly one of these things?" The rain attribute peered down at the runways through the windows. Nobody had come out to yell at them yet. For the most part, the airport and its runways were unoccupied.

The door to the pilot's cabin suddenly burst open at Yamamoto's question and Gokudera emerged, looking pissed off as usual. He stomped over to where Tsuna and Yamamoto were sitting before scowling and jabbing a finger at the clueless rain guardian's chest. "Of course I know, you stupid idiot! As the Tenth's right hand man, I am required to know these things!"

The dark-haired boy smiled in response and replied, "If you say so!"

Tsuna fiddled with his thumbs for a moment and cleared his throat. "Gokudera-kun, are you sure this is legal? Are you actually licensed to pilot a plane?" he asked nervously. If they were to get in trouble here, the Vongola would probably hear about it and so would Reborn. That only meant even more torturous training and abuse for him!

The bomber flashed a grin at his precious boss and gave him a thumbs-up. "There's no need to worry! I already told them we were from the Vongola family! Plus, you don't really need a license to drive these things anyway." Without waiting for a reply, he turned around and began walking back to the pilot cabin to start their flight.

Tsuna frowned and bit his lip anxiously. If Gokudera said he knew how to fly a plane, it was okay right? If so, then why did he have this feeling that something bad was going to happen?

"Gokudera-kun!" he called out, "Where exactly did you learn to fly a plane?" The sound of his voice could barely be heard over his family's chatter and the sound of the engine turning on. Thankfully, Gokudera managed to hear him and answered the query as the plane took off.

"Leave it to me Tenth! I've played just about every piloting game there is for the Nintendo! I've got lots of experience! Plus, I've also gotten pretty good if I do say so myself!" he said through the speakers.

For the rest of the flight, all that could be heard was the roar of the plane and the faint sound of Tsuna's screaming.

After three horrendous hours full of loop de loops and barrel rolls, the borrowed plane finally landed at the airport where a limo and several bodyguards were waiting for their arrival.

"Here comes the Decimo," one of the guards announced. "Has a secure perimeter been set up around the area?"

The other guards nodded and prepared themselves for their future leader's entrance as the stairs were taken to the exits. When the door opened, they all stiffened and tried to look as professional as possible. But to their surprise, Tsuna stumbled out of the plane, practically fell down the stairs, collapsed on the ground, and began kissing it fervently.

"Land! How I missed you!" the boy cried out in sheer joy. His guardians gathered around him, a few of them looking quite pale and shaken up. Lambo looked the worst. The unfortunate cow's normally fluffy afro had almost doubled in size and was frizzy while snot and something that looked like barf stained his clothing.

"Decimo, are you alright?" the guards asked as they rushed over to the group. "What happened?"

Tsuna gave them a strained smile and waved off their concern. "It's fine really. We had a little turbulence on the way here is all."

"Tenth! Tenth! How was my piloting?" Gokudera asked eagerly as he ran over to join them. The rest of the Decimo family looked away from the dynamite user and coughed awkwardly.

Tsuna gulped and gave his friends a pleading look. When it became apparent that no one was going to help him this time, the teenager sighed and flashed the eager storm an obviously fake grin. "Th-thank you for the ride Gokudera-kun! It was great!" he stammered.

Said person's face immediately brightened at the words of praise coming from his boss. You could practically see his tail wagging in happiness.

"Excuse me Decimo, we really should head back to the mansion now. I believe you and the boss have important matters to discuss," one of the guards interjected.

"Of course! I nearly forgot! Okay guys, let's go!" Tsuna said as he followed their escorts to the limousine that would take them to the infamous Vongola HQ.

Well? What do you think? I'd like to know whether you loved it, liked it, or hated it so please drop me a review if you have the time!

For those of you who want to know, there won't be a lot of OCs in this story. However, I may invent a few character's backstories for the plot's sake...

Hope you enjoyed!
