04 – Dying will mode & New student

"The dying will bullet releases your hidden potential from within. There will be a flame on your forehead when you go into the dying will mode and that is the proof that you have the blood of the Vongola running through your veins." Reborn stated seriously.

"You mean this?" Tsuna's brown orbs changed to flame-lit amber, it adorned her face beautifully and a burst of flame appeared on her head.

"How and where did you learn to do that?" Reborn's voice was hard.

The flame disappeared and her original eye color returned, but the caramel orbs were downcast.

"Actually, I have no idea; it just came to me when I was kidnapped, that's why I managed to escape." Her face was suddenly expressionless; the usual warm brown orbs became glassy.

"They had done horrible things to us and… I just broke, my vision had been filled with orange and this power just came to me… as if I had been using it for a long time. That was the time I escaped, I thought this was a damned power that came from th—" Tsuna's voice slowly faded and she stared in to nothingness.

Reborn's lips turned into a thin line, it was good that she was able to use the hyper dying will mode, but the fact that she had learnt to access the power through pure defense was worrying. And what was that incident that filled her with so much dread and sadness?

He glanced from below his fedora, noticing the conflict in her eyes as she stared into space.

Reborn was going to press further, but is seemed that there would not be any respond from the girl; the incident obviously left the girl a huge scar, both physically and mentally.

Even if the physical wound had healed through time, there would always be a gaping wound in her mind, tormenting her every time she thought of it.

He left the room, wanting to give Tsuna some time alone, knowing her emotions would be in chaos.

Tsuna was glad for Reborn's understanding, she lay on the bed and curled up in a ball, trying to force the memories away and lock them up at the back of her mind.

A look of complete hopelessness stained her face, as the memories dominated her mind, her skin burned and her head ached. She tried to wipe her eyes but the tears came anyway, flowing silently from the corner of her eyes and onto the plush pillow.

She snapped her eyes shut, willing herself to sleep.

*WACK*

"HHIIIEEEEE!" A sharp blow to her head had woken Tsuna. She glared daggers at the baby that stood by the bottom of her bed innocently.

"Oh, you finally woke up; I thought you'll need another few hits to the head to get you conscious."

"Reborn! There are many other sane methods to wake me up!" Tsuna yelled at him exhaustingly, rubbing at the bump that had form on her head.

"And a few more hits, I'll be much more unconscious than I was, not anywhere near conscious!"

"Hmph." Reborn tossed her a book. "Read this."

Tsuna raised an eyebrow at the title: How to be a Mafia boss. Heck, are there even any types of books like this?

Before Tsuna could question Reborn, she was pointed at with a gun.

"Fine, fine. I'll read."

"The mafia boss, a leader who controls a criminal organization, able to move a number of trusted men with one hand, whom is willing to risk even their life for their family. Surrounded by the admiration and respect of all, and also been seen as a hero by the children of the slums."

"Oh, really?" Reborn asks.

Tsuna's eyebrow twitched. "Reborn, you are the one making me read this. What does this have to do with your tutoring? And shouldn't a tutor teach student right things like moral values etcetera, instead of teaching them to control a criminal organization!"

Tsuna shook her head as Reborn ignored her question again, this was happening very often…

"Read that every morning." Reborn instructed. "After all you will be the 10th generation boss of the Vongola, so it is important for you to know what your duties are."

Tsuna slumped on to her bed; her annoyed level had hit the max.

"I told you that I might accept the position, I never said that I will!"

The hitman clacked his gun in a very threatening way. "I'll take care of it in my own way to make sure you do. Don't worry," Reborn assured her.

"I am totally not assured! I am very, very worried!" The teen sweat dropped, glancing at the assortment of weaponry that lay near her bedroom floor, courtesy of Reborn.

"Don't worry," Reborn declared, "As your honorable home tutor, I'll stick with you everywhere you go so you're trained well as the Vongola Decimo."

'That's exactly what I'm worried about the most… First a hitman as tutor next being a stalker… Don Nono, what did I do to offend you that you had to send this devil here?'

Remembering what the teacher in class mentioned the day before, she threw the question to Reborn.

"Ne, Reborn… there's is a transfer student that is coming; since he is from Italy as well, do you know who he is? The name is Gokudera Hayato."

"No, I don't know him." A soft click of the door informed Tsuna that the baby hitman left the room. Although hearing him say that, the glint that passed through his eyes said otherwise, it did not go unnoticed by Tsuna.

'So it was something that he had planned', she sighed

Tsuna opened a black bag that was by her bed and retrieved her laptop from within. She switched on the appliance and dropped herself comfortably on the beanbag that was placed at corner of her room. The location where she sat was perfect, as the screen is only visible to her.

She opened a couple of windows containing her school work; not wanting the sadist baby to suspect what she was doing if he came back to her room again.

Scanning through the names under the Gokudera Famiglia, Tsuna finally found what she was looking for. She looked through the information as quickly as possible, not wanting to be late for school.

As soon as she was done, Tsuna changed into her uniform, headed down to the kitchen, greeted Nana, and left for school with a piece of toast.

As Tsuna pondered about the new student that was coming to school today, a tall, gray haired, boy with similar colored eyes wearing Namimori Middle School's standard boys uniform and bandages on the bridge of his nose and wrapped around his hands came running up to her yelling

"SAWADA! YESTERDAY WAS EXTREME! JOIN THE BOXING CLUB!"

Tsuna turned to see Sasagawa Ryohei running towards her with his sister, Kyoko, walking close behind, she swallowed her food before answering "No thank you, I am not joining any club activities, and I am a girl you know."

"Genders do not matter at all! You should EXTREMELY join the boxing club! I can train you to be more EXTREME!" The teen screamed, pouring out his feelings.

"Onii-san! Stop bothering Tsuna-chan!" Kyoko reprimanded her brother, before turning to Tsuna. "Tsuna-chan thank you so much for yesterday, and just ignore my brother, he is always like this towards boxing."

"No problem."

The three chatted for the remainder of the walk to school, as they reached the school gate Tsuna excused herself from both Sasagawas, feeling a sharp glare at her back.
