Totally different writing format, now its more like a script. Italics is for thoughts. And thanks for all the follows so far, enjoy.

5am a lone teen is preparing himself a simple breakfast. Switching on the family's newest appliance, reheating some day old rice in the microwave and lighting the stove under a frying pan. Hearing a click Tsuna turned to the espresso machine only to feel a sudden presence behind him, doing his best to hide his shock that someone could get so close without him being aware he turned again. Only to see Reborn sitting atop the counter sipping a steaming cup of espresso, as if that was his natural state of being.

Tsuna: "Good morning Reborn, I didn't expect to see you up so early. Actually I expected to wake up to a screaming baby."

Reborn raised his drink to his face to take a sip while at the same time he raised his other arm suddenly holding a green hockey stick which he brought down on Tsuna's head hard enough to make his eyes water.

Reborn: "For future reference, your face is an easy read for someone of my skill level. As for why I'm up so early..."

He took another sip.

Reborn: "I never miss an opportunity for espresso."

Tsuna nodded picking himself up from the floor he filed both pieces of new information away and went back to preparing breakfast this time for two.

Reborn: "Two more things Lazy-Tsuna: One I like my eggs sunny side up; and two you've got a new student coming to your class today, you should bring him into your family."

Kyoko walked into the reception room and handed Tsuna a thin file before taking a seat next to him on the couch.

Kyoko: "That's all the information we have on the new student."

All the information being: a photo, name, date of birth, address and the name of his previous school.

Tsuna: "Not much, and we don't even have enough time to look into this former school of his. I guess I'm walking in blind."

And with that he got up and walked to class, Kyoko at his side.

Teacher: "Now then class we have a new student starting today, please welcome Gokudera Hayato."

The door to the classroom slide open revealing a white haired teen with a seemingly permanent scowl on his face, wearing skull designed silver rings and chains. The girls squealed in joy and the boys groaned at another handsome guy to compete with. Gokudera ignored all of this as well as the teacher attempting to to him where his seat was as he made a B-line right for the only student wearing a black uniform. Kicking the student's desk over and looking down his scowl deepened.

Gokudera: "To think someone as weak looking as you would be selected for..."

Tsuna: "Enough! I've had this conversation before, follow me at lunch and I'll show you why I was selected."

Whispers erupted around the class. While the teacher tried to get control back one girl was a bit louder than the rest.

Random Girl: "Oh no, he's going to ruin Gokudera's face. And on his first day too."

Classes continued as normal save for Gokudera trying to develop heat vision and fry the back of Tsuna's head. Until the bell rang for lunch and Tsuna got and walked out Gokudera close on his heels, walking down the halls it was only a matter of time before they came across another student in a black uniform.

Tsuna: "I've got a challenger, no spectators."

Tsuna gestured over his shoulder to the gaggle of people behind them, trying to look as if they hadn't been following them. The student nodded and his face became stern as he formed a one man wall behind them which was enough to cause the crowd to disperse.

The two squared off in a secluded spot behind the school, the distance from the school's wall to the fence was only about five meters but it would be enough for a regular fist fight.

Reborn: "But this won't be a regular fist fight."

From an unknown location the baby in black jumped to land atop the fence at the halfway point between the two teens dressed as a referee, he was even holding a green whistle.

Reborn: "This is Gokudera Hayato, a hitman I called over from Italy. His specialty is explosives."

Gokudera: "You're Reborn? We've never had the chance to meet, thank for this opportunity."

He bowed his head in respect and recognition to Reborn.

Gokudera: "Is it true, if I eliminate him do I really get to be the next boss of Vongola?"

Reborn: "That's right, whoever wins this fight gets to be Vongola Tenth."

Tsuna: "If that's the way this works wouldn't whoever killed the Ninth's kids be eligible?"

Instead of a reply Reborn blew his whistle.

Reborn: "Begin!"

Gokudera immediately reached into his jacket with one hand pulling out four sticks of dynamite which then seemed to light themselves and threw them directly at Tsuna. Who in turn grabbed two out of the air, extinguishing the wicks with his fingers and letting the other two fly past to explode harmlessly behind him. Gritting his teeth in frustration Gokudera reaching into his jacket with both hands pulling out eight sticks of dynamite before repeating his maneuver. Tsuna did the same this time grabbing four sticks of dynamite adding them to those already in his hand. This was enough to set off Gokudera as he pulled out 16 sticks of dynamite.

Gokudera: "Try to dodge all these, DOUBLE BOMBS!"

He threw all 16 in a wide arc some knocking into each other in midair so that they landed in a good spread that would have surely scorched Tsuna, if he hadn't simply run right at Gokudera and socked him in the jaw throwing him back to land on his butt a few feet away. Despite his shock at the sudden blow Gokudera jumped to his feet and leaped back to put more distance between the them.

Gokudera: "Bastard! You might be pretty good but you won't survive this attack."

Gokudera's hands moved so fast Tsuna couldn't tell where the dynamite was coming from, never the less Gokudera soon had 24 sticks of dynamite that lit themselves in the usual fashion.

Gokudera : "TRIPLE BOMBS!"

Gokudera unleashed his best attack and at the same time Tsuna threw the sticks he'd been collecting so that the explosives from both sides collided in midair falling in a loose pile a few feet from Gokudera. And though he tried to jump away he still got caught in the explosion launching him back several meters where he landed in the dirt. His ears ringing and body smoking it was all he could do to raise his head as he watched with blurred vision as a figure walked towards him until his vision turned black entirely.

Gokudera awoke feeling the comfort of a mattress beneath him, opening his eyes he saw stark white walls, ceiling and curtains denoting that he was in fact in a nurse's office. Sitting up and pulling the curtains aside brought him the sight of the person who'd necessitated such treatment. Tsuna was sitting in a chair beside the bed, reading through a small stack of papers. He began speaking without looking up.

Tsuna: "You've been out for some of the afternoon classes, I'll talk to the teachers about getting you the homework you missed. Sorry I knocked you out by the way, I had to keep up appearances. And speaking of appearances."

He reached down and picked up a package which he then handed to Gokudera. Gokudera opened it to find a black uniform and a cellphone. He raised his head to look Tsuna in the eye.

Tsuna: "Reborn explained the meaning of our little scrap, and I'll accept you as my family member."

Gokudera's eyes lit up like a stick of dynamite and he scrambled to get on his knees before bowing his head low to Tsuna, much to Tsuna's confusion.

Gokudera: Thank you Tenth! I will do my best to prove myself as your right-hand man!"

Tsuna: "Great."

Eye roll.

Tsuna: "But we'll need to do something about your fighting style, since you nearly killed yourself today. I've got something in mind but I'll need a few days. So for the rest of the day you rest up here. You'll receive a message on that phone when and where to arrive tomorrow, and I'll assign you one of our veterans to show you the ropes."

He got up and walked to the door, pausing he looked back at Gokudera.

Tsuna: "And welcome to the Disciplinary Committee."

What do you guys think, format good or bad? I'll try to update a little faster next time. Pretty proud of the fight, looking forward to writing the first encounter with Squalo, but its SO FAR AWAY. Anyways if you're wondering about the triple bombs, Tsuna and Gokudera are in their last year of middle school and I figure 15 year old Gokudera has bigger hands than 13 year old Gokudera so he ought to be able to pull off this technique, assuming someone doesn't mess it up for him.

Goodnight everyone.
