Chrome turned to look at her boss and fellow guardians questioningly. Tsuna indicated for her to go first with the rest of the girls. Kyoko, Hana and Haru were waiting for her at the door. Kyoko smiled at Tsuna reassuringly before leaving. She knew Tsuna would be rather worried at the situation. Tsuna smiled back thankfully.
The newcomers looked from the boys to the girls, unsure of whom to follow. They may not recognize the girls but for them to be so close to the mist guardian, they must be somehow related to the Vongola. They vaguely remembered that some of the Guardians and the Decimo had girlfriends.
Yamamoto stood and stretched lazily before reaching for his bamboo sword. He always carried it with him nowadays since he does not know when he will need it. Gokudera reached into his bag for the notebook that the guardians have been using to take notes for important things. It was like a log book. There was a drawing of the different weathers they represent on the cover of the book.
Tsuna was thanking heavens that Kyito sensei had not called him at all today, putting off the revelation about his identity a bit longer. He looked up to see the duo standing right next to him, one on each side. They were ignoring him, with their backs to him, essentially trapping him in his seat. Gokudera noticed and was about to start taking out is dynamites when Tsuna looked him in the eyes and shook his head. Relunctantly, Gokudera obeyed rather reluctantly but added another thing to the list to scold them for.
"The two of you better be on your way to the hall." Yamamoto said.
"We are going to escort you Rain guardian sama and Storm guardians sama."
"Maa maa, we do not need escorts. You better get there before Hibari is angry at you for being late."
The duo paled upon hearing that. The cloud guardian was not one to mess with, especially when one of them had already pissed him off. They bowed in greeting and immediately ran out of the class, towards the hall.
Tsuna turned to Yamamoto with a grin. "Thanks. I had been trying to think of a way to get them away."
"Lets go then." Yamamoto indicated to his boss.
Tsuna sighed and braced himself for what was to come.
They stopped short at the entrance of the hall. There seemed to be about thirty or forty people there.
Hiabri was glaring at them from the stage. Their friends were already on the stage. Mukuro, Ryohei, Ken and Chickusa were also there. (All transferred to be in the same school.)
"You are late."
Tsuna grinned sheepishly. Every head had turned in his direction. They knew who he was immediately since he was flanked by a silverette and a black head holding a sword. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the duo staring at him in shock, they had after all glared at him.
"Sorry. We took the longer and more discrete route to keep the rest off our tails." He said as he and his two best friends walked towards the stage. He could feel every pair of eyes following him as he walked over and joined the rest on stage. Gokudera immediately sat down, opened the notebook and put on his glasses, ready to take down notes.
'The silence is so scary.' Tsuna thought.
Finally noticing that everyone was waiting for him to say something, "well, what is going on here?"
Suddenly, his Hyper Intuition told him something was coming his way and told him to duck. He immediately ducked, narrowly missing a bullet which hit the floor. His guardians spun towards the direction the bullet came from and moved in front of him, ready to face the threat. However, they relaxed the minute they saw Reborn.
The crowd on the ground stared. This whole scenario barely lasted a few seconds. It was a blink and you miss situation. These people were really fast. They were in the presence of the best Hitman and ex-arcobaleno as well.
Reborn had grown rapidly the past few years and was already in his adult form now. Nine years old Lambo, dressed similary to his fifteen years old self was behind him.
"Reborn!" Tsuna yelled. "And what are you doing here Lambo instead of being in school?"
"The great Lambo does not have lessons today. The school is closed. Reborn said he was coming to visit you so I come along for free candy."
Tsuna absentmindedly handed his Lightning guardian some candy which he kept in his pocket for this purpose and turned to glare at Reborn.
The ex-arcobaleno simply smirked. "I just wanted them to see a little of what their boss is capable of."
"Just what are you planning again?"
"I have nothing to do with this. Their parents simply heard where you guys were studying and sent them here to serve you. Isn't it great? You have more subordinates to order around now."
"Their presence will disturb the peace of Namimori." Hibari glared at Reborn.
"They are part of the mafia so you can choose to attack them any way you want to. If they cannot even protect their own lives, they are not worthy of being part of Vongola."
Hibari nodded, statisfied with the arrangement.
Tsuna however was not. He had counted on his cloud guardian to be more adamant about not having (more) mafia in the school.
"Reborn, there might be more problems as a result."
"And you will solve them as the Decimo of Vongola. I am sure they will listen to you. Am I right?" He turned to look at the crowd.
"Hai!" Everyone immediately shouted, eager to please.
"Kufufu… Not bad Tsunayoshi-kun. Having people who follow you will give me an easier time when I take over your body."
"You are extremely lucky to have so many people who want to follow you. Maybe some of them will extremely join the boxing club." Hana sighed at her boyfriend. He is always looking for new members for the boxing club.
"Congrats Tsuna."
"Congrats Bossu~"
Haru smiled at him from where she was sitting, leaning on Gokudera. "Haru is happy for you desu. Hayato-kun must be really happy to have so many people that recognize your greatness."
"Shut up woman." Though he had a slight blush on his face.
Yamamoto patted Tsuna's shoulder. "It is great to have so many people who will listen to you."
Even Ken and Chickusa gave him a grin and a thumbs-up. They knew Mukuro had come to see Tsuna as his boss even though he would rather go back into Vindice than admit it. They still regarded Mukuro as their boss but had since learned to view Tsuna as the Bigger Boss in a way and listened to him when necessary.
Kyoko moved to Tsuna's side. "I am sure everything will be alright Tsu-kun."
Tsuna looked at her thankfully. "Well, I guess…"
"I have already had it all planned out for you Dame-Tsuna." He handed Gokudera a piece of paper with instructions on it.
Gokudera read it and stood to address the crowd.
"I assume you already know who we are so no introductions will be given. If you still do not know, better go get your facts right and your eyes checked before coming back. Do not disclose any more about the Vongola than you already have to the people in this school.
"Do not seek out Decimo while you are here. He wants to keep his identity a secret from the rest of the school. Do not reveal who he is until he indicates it is okay to do so." Gokudera said all these without looking at Tsuna but Tsuna could see every head immediately turning to look at him.
"Act like normal students and remove the Vongola tag immediately. I do not see the purpose of indicating that you are part of Vongola. If there is anything you would like to report, report it to the Discipline committee. It would reach us. All weapons brought to school are to be declared."
"Failure to obey that order will result in dire consequences." Hibari held up his tonfas and added,"All of you are to obey Namimori High's school rules or you will face me."
"He will be unlikely to hold back in your case so I would advise you to heed this warning carefully. Now just queue up and write down the rank, name, and weapons of choice then you are allowed to leave for your break."
Hibari seemed pleased with the arrangement for he had simply walked over to kiss Chrome lightly on her cheek, causing her to blush and Mukuro to frown, before leaving to seek those two idiots who transferred into 2A. Mukuro protected Chrome like a little sister.
The group quickly obeyed instructions but lingered to watch the people on the stage. Tsuna noticed and smiled at them, misunderstanding that they were nervous to be at a new school.
"We could be here for a while. Go have your break; there are lots of friendly people in the school. Make some friends and enjoy yourselves. No need to stay in this stuffy hall."
Their eyes immediately sparkled, much like Gokudera when he receives attention from Tsuna in the past. Their boss had just addressed them, directly. He was so benevolent as well to be so caring and thinking about their welfare.
"Hai! Decimo-san!" Everyone then rushed and struggled to be the first out of the door, eager to start acting like 'normal students' and impress their boss.
Tsuna frowned at this. "What did I say?"
Reborn smirked at is student. "Not bad a start, you have already convinced them that you are a great boss. They respect you now and will do as you say."
Tsuna sighed, maybe he should have just kept his mouth shut.
"Well, I have to leave for Italy for a mission. I shall leave that stupid cow with you. Mama and I-pin are out buying groceries and running errands so will likely not be home before you do." With that he left.
Tsuna looked at the nine year old boy who was arguing with Gokudera about something and sighed. This was going to be a long day.
