Tsuna stared at the note on his desk. He had come back from lunch. It read,
'Come to the garden near the end of the North Corridor and South Hall. If you do not come, I swear I will bomb your house.'
Tsuna shivered at the last part, 'Jesus, this person's serious.' He considered the options, 'I could go and see what is up. Maybe this isn't a fight. But if it is, I might be badly beaten. Then again, if I don't go . . .'
He glanced at the last sentence and gulped. Tsuna thought, 'Well, maybe he's bluffing. But if he isn't . . . my mother could be seriously injured . . . I think it's best that I take the blow instead. I have a greater chance of surviving at least.'
...
Reborn said, "Looks like Tsuna got a note from someone."
Colonnello asked, "A love letter already?"
Reborn replied, "I doubt it. Let's follow him to see what's going on."
...
Tsuna walked outside, his X-Gloves on and a bottle of Hyper Dying Will pills he received from Basil. Basil was the subordinate of Tsuna's father, Iemitsu, who enjoyed messing around with Tsuna much to Tsuna's dismay.
Tsuna had believed his father to be an oil field worker when in fact, Tsuna's father was the 'Outside Advisor' of the Vongola family, the second highest position next to the Vongola Boss. Tsuna never learned this until 8th grade when his father appeared with the Ninth Boss to meet Tsuna. Need less to say, Tsuna was shock. And that was merely an understatement. However, Tsuna accepted that fact and the dislike he harbored to his father for being away so often lessened and even became something that slightly resembled respect.
Tsuna thought, 'Alright, it's around 3:30 . . . Where's the person who sent me the note?'
As if on cue, Tsuna saw someone coming into view. Tsuna blinked. It was the silvered hair teen.
Tsuna asked, "Er, are you the person who sent the note . . . um . . . what's your name?"
The person's eye twitched as he said, "Hayato Gokudera and yes, I am the one who sent the note. Isn't that obvious? Tch, and I thought you were smart or at least capable of human intelligence."
Tsuna said, "Ah . . . There's no reason to not make sure . . ."
Inner Tsuna: (cries) No need for such harsh words.
Gokudera growled, "I have been watching you during the entire day and especially during P.E."
Tsuna thought back to P.E., 'Ah yeah . . . I kinda did really badly there . . . Even if I have improved since middle school, I'm still far from good.' He painfully remembered the volley ball that hit his head.
Gokudera snarled, "I can't believe a weakling like you is going to become the 10th Boss of the renowned Vongola family."
Tsuna was caught of guard, "EH? H-How do you know about that?"
Gokudera light a cigarette, "It doesn't matter how I found it. What matters is the fact that you will lead the Vongola family to ruins!" He took out many dynamites and lit them with his cigarette, "Die!" He threw the bombs at Tsuna, "Double bombs!"
Tsuna screamed, "AIYAH!" He ran away from the oncoming bombs. Where he once stood was now a huge, gaping crater.
Tsuna panted, his heart beating irregularly fast, 'Dear Lord, if that had hit me . .! No, I don't wanna think about it!'
Gokudera appeared. He said, "Coward! Stop running and face me like a man!" He light more dynamites.
Tsuna blinked. Was it just his imagination or were the dynamites glowing with blue, red, purple, yellow, and green flames (a/n. I don't think you can actually do that in Reborn without rings, but my fanfiction, my rules. Hee-hee-hee . . .)? But he had no time to think about that, as the dynamites flew at him. He ran away from the dynamites again and hid behind a building.
The dynamites surrounded by the red and purple flames created the largest holes. Tsuna thought, 'I don't know what's going on but I should watch out for those flames.' Tsuna took out his pills and swallowed one.
Gokudera looked around, 'Where did that runt go?'
He then saw the shadow of someone behind a building, 'There!' He light some more dynamites using Storm Flames. He then threw them at the shadow. Gokudera caught sight of the brown haired teen turning around before the dynamites hit him. A explosion was heard and smoke covered the area Gokudera thought, 'Bulls eye. He's a goner.'
However, once the smoke cleared, Gokudera couldn't believe his eyes. There was a shield composed of orange Sky Flames surrounding an area. The flames then died out and Tsuna appeared.
However, he had an orange colored flame on his forehead and the mittens Tsuna was wearing changed into fingerless gloves with an X on them. His demeanor also changed from panicked to frighteningly calm.
Gokudera knew that Tsuna was much stronger than now. He growled, 'It doesn't matter. I won't lose! I just need to get serious!' He took out his mini bombs and threw them Tsuna. Then, he pulled out his larger bombs and lit them with Sun Flames. He tossed them at Tsuna, "Triple Bombs!" He grinned, 'This way, the mini bombs will be perceived by Sawada to be the same distance as the other bombs and he will be caught.'
However, Tsuna dodged the mini bombs easily and created a shield to protect him from the larger bombs.
Gokudera's eyes widened, 'How did he see through that?'
Tsuna said, as if able to read Gokudera's mind, "I saw you throwing the mini bombs at me earlier and was able to dodge them in time."
Gokudera got over his shock and said, "Is that so? You are sharper than you appear. But that won't be enough!"
He lit more bombs and charged at Tsuna. However, Gokudera stumbled and dropped the dynamites. His eyes widened, 'Oh shit!' Time slowed down. He thought miserably, 'I guess this is the end for me. I . . . can't believe it's going to end like this . . .'
Tsuna's eyes widened as he saw the bombs reaching the ground around Gokudera. Tsuna quickly ran to the bombs and defused them at an inhumanely fast speed. Once the bombs were safe, Tsuna let out a sigh. He then remembered Gokudera and became alert again.
But it seemed that Gokudera had no intent of fighting at the moment. Gokudera asked, "Why did you do that?"
Tsuna blinked, "Do what?"
Gokudera clarified, "Why did you save my life? Even when I tried to kill you . . ."
Tsuna said, "Oh. Well, it is because even if you did try to kill me, it doesn't mean I had any intent of harming you." He smiled, "Besides, anyone with morals would have done that."
Gokudera blushed at the innocent and calm smile on Tsuna's face. He bowed down, "I am sorry for my words and action earlier! You are worthy of being the Tenth Boss of the Vongola! In fact, you are more than qualified!"
Tsuna became flustered at the compliments, "N-no, you don't have to praise me . . ."
Gokudera shook his head, "It's not praise! It is facts! I would be honored if you allowed me to serve as your right hand man!"
Tsuna blinked, "E-eh?"
"Accepted." Reborn popped out of nowhere along with Colonnello.
Tsuna exclaimed, surprised, "R-Reborn! And Colonnello, too! What are you guys doing here?"
Reborn said, "Didn't I tell you I was going to be observing you?"
Colonnello said, "I just came here by chance, kora."
Tsuna protested, "But a thing like right hand man is too extreme! Can't we just be good friends or something?"
Gokudera said with a deadly and scarily serious face, "Absolutely not! I must be your right hand man!"
Tsuna let out a small 'meep.' He thought, 'I'm can't refuse when he says it so seriously . . .'
Reborn said, "Good job, Tsuna. You have acquired your first family member."
Tsuna blinked, "What?"
Before Reborn could say anything, a voice rang out, "What have you herbivores done to the school?"
The group turned their heads to see a boy with raven black hair and apathetic gray eyes appear.
Gokudera swore, "Crap! It's Hibari!"
Tsuna stared into the boy's gray eyes, drawn in by their intensity.
He snapped out of his daze when the boy said with a deadly serious face, "I shall bite you all to death for destroying school property."
Tsuna said, "W-what?"
The raven haired boy whipped out a pair of tonfa and charged at them. Need less to say, Gokudera jumped in front of Tsuna, "I'll protect you, Tenth!" He lit a few bombs and threw them at the teen.
However, the boy easily deflected them. He landed a blow to Gokudera's head, drawing blood and leaving Gokudera unconscious. He flicked the blood off his tonfa and turned his murderous gaze at Tsuna.
Tsuna, now scared to death, let out a 'meep.' He turned to Reborn and Colonnello, "R-Reborn! Colonnello! Do something!"
Reborn replied nonchalantly, "You're on your own, No Good Tsuna." With that, he and Colonnello jumped on Colonnello's hawk and flew away.
Inner Tsuna: (tears of fear and anger) Damn you, Reborn, Colonnello!
Tsuna took out his pills, 'I need these again.' He looked up and was shocked to see the gray eyed boy charging at him.
Quickly, Tsuna swallowed a pill and dodged the attack aimed at him by the black haired boy. Dust flew from the ground where the tonfa hit.
Once the dust cleared, Tsuna was in Hyper Dying Will Mode.
The raven haired boy raised an eyebrow, 'The aura of this herbivore has changed drastically. But no matter.' He raised his tonfa and attacked Tsuna.
Tsuna managed to block one but the other one hit him right on the side of his head and sent him hurtling towards the ground. Tsuna winced as he felt blood flow but got up. He had no intention of fighting, but if the teen in front of him was to persist, Tsuna would have to disable him and then make his escape.
He readied himself for combat.
The boy said, "How amusing. No one has been able to block one of my tonfa before. You may be interesting, but you are not on the level that excites me." With that, he charged at Tsuna.
He pulled his arm back for a side blow with his tonfa. However, before he was able to attack, Tsuna disappeared and reappeared behind him in a flash.
The boy thought, alarmed, 'He's quick!'
Tsuna raised his elbow and brought it down on the boy's back. He had hit the nerve that caused paralysis.
The boy's eyes widened as his body went numb. He was about to hit the ground but Tsuna caught him. Tsuna then set him near the school building to lean against. Tsuna said, "You should be fine after a few hours." With that, he picked up Gokudera and made his exit.
The boy growled, a murderous aura emitting from him, 'I cannot believe I lost to that herbivore!' He thought, 'But still, that herbivore is on a level that excites me . . .' He smirked, 'Looks like I found a new toy.'
...
Gokudera woke up groggily. He said, "Nnh, where am I?" He saw Tsuna and the two infants in front of him. He remembered what happened and bolted up.
Tsuna had jumped a little at Gokudera's action. He asked, "Gokudera, are you alright?"
Gokudera began to apologize profusely, "I'm sorry Tenth! I can't believe I lost to that bastard! I'll do better next time!" Gokudera then noticed the bandage on Tsuna's head. He asked, concerned, "Are you alright?"
Tsuna smiled, "Yeah, it's just a scratch. Don't worry." He asked, "By the way, who was that person?"
Gokudera gritted his teeth, "That was Hibari Kyoya, second year in Class A, the head of the Discipline Committee or the Prefects. He is a blood thirsty bastard, but he's also ranked the strongest in our school. He absolutely loves Katekyo to death and hates anyone 'desecrating' it."
Tsuna said, "Is that so . . ?" He frowned, "I hope I don't cross paths with him again."
Gokudera said, "Even if you do, I will protect you! So don't worry, Tenth!"
Tsuna smiled and laughed softly, "Alright, thank you, Gokudera."
Gokudera blushed and averted Tsuna's eyes.
Tsuna smiled, 'Maybe this won't be so bad.'
