Chapter 2
Arrival
Tsuna was still packing his stuff until three in the morning. He had a tough time deciding whether to bring his game system or his books. In the end, the books won out since Tsuna figured he should focus on studying and what not anyway for next year. By the time he was finally finished, Tsuna was dead tired. The sun had already rose and he knew he wasn't going to get much sleep. Anticipation and amenity coursed through his veins. This was the first time Tsuna ever left home for more than a week. There were some fear for the unknown but with a sense of adventure as well.
At around six o'clock, Tsuna dragged his luggage down the hall and said good-bye to his room.
"Have a nice trip mom!" He waved his bubbly and obviously excited parents off in their taxi, where they would head to the harbour for their cruise.
"Thanks Tsu-kun!" Nana waved back as their taxi drove away. "You take care of yourself!"
"Don't worry! I will!"
"See you son." Iemetsu waved from the other side.
"Have fun Dad."
"Maybe we'll come back with a new little brother for you!" His dad let a loud laugh. Nana slapped her husband's arm teasingly saying something like you shouldn't joke like that. Tsuna personally didn't find it very funny.
He watched their vehicle disappear out of sight. It was still early in the morning so the streets were quiet. Nana promised that she would write and call, but Tsuna knew the chances that his mom would actually remember to do so was slim. She tend to be forgetful when she's having fun. He wouldn't blame her for forgetting because he knew Nana deserved this trip and this holiday. Tsuna looked at the house that was his home for twenty-one years one last time before biding his final farewell. Inside, he felt lonely and sad; like he didn't belong anywhere anymore. His mom and his house were the only thing that marked Tsuna's existence. Pushing his doubts aside, Tsuna lifted his head high and walked straighter.
"I'm an independent man now." He told himself.
It took approximately three hours of riding the bus and train before Tsuna reached his destination. When he stepped outside into the fresh air again, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. They were in the part of the city where it was like a rural countryside. There were still many houses but there were hardly any buildings that were higher than 4 stories high. Only when he looked behind him and saw the distant shapes of the skyscrapers reminded him that he was in fact, still in the same city. Once again, he dragged his luggage behind him and picked a random street. He didn't have a clue where he was heading, the only choice he had was to ask some someone on the street.
One quick look and he saw his chance. The door to the shop to his right opened and out came a dark-haired man dressed in some sort of dark blue overalls. The guy had a bright smile on his face as he strolled out. From his outfit, Tsuna assumed he was some sort of mechanic or plumber. Almost distracted from his objective, Tsuna walked to the guy before he walked off.
"Um… Excuse me…" Tsuna said in a small-voice, a small blush crept slowly to his cheeks. He wasn't expecting this to happen. From afar, he couldn't see clearly the boyish looks that this stranger possessed. He wasn't sure why but Tsuna found it hard to talk when he is looking straight at his face. Dark spiky hair and hazel eyes that seem in sparkle in the sun. There was a vertical scar on his chin that made Tsuna wondered how it got there.
Yup, definitely good-looking.
"Are you talking to me?" The stranger asked, pointing at himself. He smiled a toothy grin. "Silly me! I guess you must be since I'm the only out here." The guy laughed aloud again, seemingly to be enjoying himself.
"So what can I do for you?" He asked. "Are you here to drop off a request?"
"No?" Tsuna wasn't sure what the guy was talking about with requests and such. "I wanted to ask someone for directions. I'm looking for…" Tsuna stopped his sentence midway to dig up the card from his pocket. "… Vongola Workshop is what I'm looking for."
"Vongola Workshop!" The guy laughed again.
"What's so funny?" Tsuna asked.
"Well, if you're looking for Vongola Workshop, you're here already!" He pointed upwards. Tsuna followed where his finger was pointing at the sign on the building.
It was impossible to miss. At least that's what Tsuna thought after he saw the sign. The sign was a brightly coloured board with "Vongola Workshop" written on it. Underneath the name in smaller writing read "Call us to fulfill your needs!"
"How did I miss it?" Tsuna said to himself. "The colours, the words, everything! You could see the sign even if you stood seventeen blocks away."
"Haha, I seriously don't know." Tsuna laughed in union with the stranger that he just met. "Are you new here? I haven't seen your face around in this part."
"Yea, I just moved." Tsuna gesturing to his suitcase and bag. "I used to live on the other side of town. Even though I just got here, I am liking it already."
"It's a pretty nice part of town." The guy admitted. "Oh, I'm sorry for not introducing myself. I'm Yamamoto Takeshi." He extended his hands for a handshake.
"I'm Tsunayoshi Sawada, but people usually just call me Tsuna since Tsunayoshi is so long."
"Well Tsuna, you can call me Yamamoto then!" Yamamoto smiled. Tsuna was sure his heart jumped or it could just be his nerves. "Did you have some business with the shop? Or are you looking for someone?"
"Sort of… I think… Yea…" Tsuna started slowly. "What I wanted to know…"
What is Tsuna going to ask Yamamoto?
a) Are you Reborn?
b) I'm looking for Reborn, would you happen to know him?
c) Do you happen to be single?
d) Are the girls around here as hot as you are?

It's a short chapter, but most of the them probably will be like this if you want lots of choice. For now and most of the time I'm going to go with majority votes but I might mix it up once in a blue moon with random number or first reviewer. Any review is much appreciated. By the way, I can't really start writing until you guys vote for the outcome so you gotta hurry!
See you soon!!
