SkyGem: Hey all! Thanks so much for your reviews on the previous chapter! Anyways, I know some of you are disappointed that this is only a two-shot, since it does indeed seem like it could be a multi-chapter, so here's what I'll do. Since I can't continue this, I'll put the summary in my plot dump on my blog (the link is in profile). Whoever wants to adopt the summary can. Okay? Anyways, here's the next chapter of this fanfic. I hope you like it.
Tsuna is on his way to school, Reborn sitting on his head, when it happens.
The brunet suddenly feels something shaped suspiciously like Reborn's foot on the back of his head, pushing him forward a few feet, knocking him to the ground, and a second later, there's a small explosion where he had been standing previously, kicking up dust everywhere.
Bringing his hand up to cover his mouth as he coughs, the brunet looks up at his attacker, and is shocked when he sees a very familiar teen with messy silver hair and angry, sea green eyes.
"I can't accept it," growls the boy, "I can't accept that someone as small and weak-looking as you is going to be the Vongola Juudaime!"
And without another word, the boy takes out a dynamite and is about to light it using his cigarette, when Tsuna interrupts him, shouting, "W-wait, Hayato! Y-you're Hayato, aren't you?"
These words stop Hayato in his tracks, his eyes wide as he stares at the person in front of him. For the first time, he takes a good look at the brunet's face, and reels back in shock at what he sees there.
"T-Tsuna?" asks Hayato, his voice disbelieving, and Tsuna suddenly feels as if he'll explode from the joy that's rushing through him.
Quickly getting to his feet, the brunet throws his arms around his friend, and says, "I can't believe it's really you, Hayato!"
"T-Tsuna's…the Vongola Juudaime?" asks Hayato in a shocked voice, his expression dazed. Then, after a moment of silence, "…I apologize for my rudeness!" shouts the silveret, getting on his knees and bowing to Tsuna several times, knocking his forehead on the floor each time.
And by the time Tsuna can get him to stop, the skin on his forehead is scraped and bleeding slightly.
Once Hayato has gotten up off the floor, he's fussing over Tsuna.
"Are you okay, Juudaime?" he asks in a worried voice. "Did I injure you? Are you bleeding anywhere? Are there any broken bones? I don't deserve to be your subordinate!"
"Hayato!" shouts Tsuna suddenly, cutting off his friend's panicked words and causing him to look at him through tearful eyes. "I'm fine. And of course I don't consider you my subordinate."
When he says this, Hayato's eyes widen, and he looks absolutely devastated.
"I don't consider you my subordinate because you're my friend, Hayato. We're both equals, okay?"
Hayato stares at him in awe when he says this, and the boy's eyes suddenly start tearing up again.
"I don't deserve your kindness, Juudaime!"
When Takeshi bursts into the classroom, breathless, the teacher is in the middle of introducing a new student to the class.
Upon his interruption, everyone except the new student turns to stare at Takeshi, and before the teacher even has time to ask why he's late, Takeshi is already apologizing.
"I'm sorry, sensei! I was absent yesterday because I went with my dad to visit my mom's grave, and we were up really late last night for personal reasons, so I kind of overslept, which is why I'm late!"
After he says this, Takeshi lets out a little laugh, and suddenly, the transfer student's head whips around to look at him, and he realizes that he recognizes the boy.
"H-Hayato?" stutters out Takeshi, shocked, "W-what are you doing here?"
The boy, Hayato, just stares at him dumbly for a moment before raising his hand and pointing to one of the students and says, "I'm here for Juudaime."
Takeshi looks in the direction he's pointing, and sees a shocked Tsuna staring back at him.
After a few moments more of staring, Tsuna's mouth stretches into a smile and he waves hello, saying, "Good to see you, Takeshi-kun!"
"W-when did you get here?" asks Takeshi, feeling a kind of fierce joy bubbling up inside of him.
"I transferred here yesterday," answers Tsuna.
Before the two can continue their conversation, the teacher interrupts, and Takeshi is forced to go to his seat and wait until lunch time to get an explanation from his friends.
Classes seem to drag on forever until finally, the bell rings and Takeshi and Hayato both jump out of their seats and make their way to where Tsuna is.
And the first thing Takeshi does when he gets there is throw his arms around Tsuna in a bone-crushing hug.
"I can't believe it's you guys!" he says as he lets go of Tsuna, and is about to tackle Hayato as well, but seems to think better of it when the silveret sends him a fierce glare. "What are you doing here?" he asks again.
"I transferred here yesterday because of my father's job," explains Tsuna matter-of-factly.
"And I'm here because I'm a part of the mafia Family that Tsuna-sama is now the Juudaime of."
"No way! That's so cool! Can I be part of Tsuna's family too?"
The three are on their way home when the sound of fighting catches their attention.
Catching his friends' confused looks, Takeshi smiles and says, "That's our disciplinary committee leader, Hibari Kyoya-sempai. He's probably beating up some delinquents."
Tsuna perks up when he hears this and asks, "Kyoya?"
Takeshi just shrugs in answer, saying, "When I first heard of him last year, I thought it may be him, but no matter what I do, I can never get close enough to him to find out. He's always "biting people to death". And when he's fighting, he's moving too fast for me to see his face so…"
Making a quick second decision, Tsuna grabs his friends' hands and pulls them in the direction of the fighting, saying, "Let's just take a quick look."
By the time the three first years arrive at the scene of the fighting, all noise has come to a stop, and there are five delinquents lying on the ground, unconscious.
In the midst of those delinquents, one sempai is standing, completely unruffled, showing no signs of being involved in the fight, except for the tonfas he is holding in each hand, both spattered in blood.
The older male is facing the other way, but it doesn't take long for him to notice them, and when he does, he turns and rushes at the three of them, ready to beat them to bloody pulps.
When he sees just who is standing there, though, Hibari Kyoya freezes where he is, his eyes widening a fraction.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Kyoya!" shouts Tsuna suddenly, breaking the stalemate as he throws himself at the still frozen skylark. "It really is you!" he says, still hugging the older male. "First Hayato, then Takeshi, and now you too? This is the BEST. DAY. EVER!"
"Hey! I want a hug too!" shouts Takeshi, running over to tackle both boys to the floor where he proceeds to cuddle the still-in-shock Kyoya and the uber hyper Tsunayoshi.
Hayato walks over cautiously but doesn't join the three on the floor until Tsuna and Takeshi both take hold of one of his hands and pulls him down to join them.
Try as he might, the silveret is unable to get himself free of his two friends, and in the end gives up.
For all of three minutes, the only sounds to break the silence are the pained groans of the beat-up delinquents.
When Kyoya finally comes out of his shock, he growls, "If you do not want to be bitten to death, you are going to get off of me in three…two…one…"
SkyGem: Lolol, well, there's the first three guardians, and since this was starting to get a bit long, I decided to break this chapter into two parts…lol, I really should stop letting my ideas get the better of me…from one-shot to two-shot to three-shot…I just hope this doesn't become an all-out multi-chap fic…Anyways, please do leave a review and I'll have the last chapter up shortly! Ciao!
