Opening statement, my thanks to whoever left the last comment. You actually addressed something that's been holding back my writing besides procrastination and my hatred for a specific character, I also hate script format especially with characters who have fucking 8 letters in their names. So yeah that's gone, anyways here's another one.
From the sky an international flight touches down in the land of the rising sun and two particular individuals depart the aircraft. One a beautiful young woman with pink hair, the other a young curly haired boy wearing a cowprint onesie. With similar goals in mind the two separately make their way out of the airport and into the town of Namimori proper.
Early morning and again Tsuna kept a solo vigil at Nami Middle's gate, it was times like this when he thought that perhaps all this mafia nonsense was nothing but an extended daydream and Reborn a figment of his imagination. The peace and quiet afforded to him now was certainly a welcome respite from Reborn yet Tsuna had to admit the changes that his tutor created weren't all bad. He had a girlfriend and his first real friends two things he never knew he wanted until now. At first he'd thought of Kyoko merely as convenient, someone of intelligence to manage his schedule. Yet she'd become someone who could brighten his whole day with naught but her presence, not to mention that kissing was a LOT of fun. And unlike Hibari who was more of a mentor or the other members of the DC who were acquaintances at best, Gokudera and Yamamoto were simply fun to be around either by their own volition or the hilarious arguments they got in. For some time Tsuna had thought of such companions as more trouble than they were worth, yet he had to admit at least when these three were concerned he'd been wrong.
After sometime a stranger approached on a bicycle but Tsuna had learned his lesson, and had an eye on the newcomer before they'd come within a block of the school. He figured she'd go right by, yet the rider came to a halt before him. Removing her helmet and shaded goggles she revealed pink hair and a face that matched her body, an easy 8/10. Reaching into the basket at the from of her bicycle she pulled out an off-brand popcan which she then tossed to Tsuna who caught it one-handed. "You can have that if you'd like." She said before replacing her gear and taking off on her bike. Tsuna could only stare at the woman's back as she rode away, utterly bewildered at her odd behaviour.
In the end he simply shrugged, pondering the weird people was a waste of brain power this early in the morning. Popping the tab he brought the can halfway to his mouth before he spotted purple vapour escape the can and he caught a whiff of pure, concentrated wrong. Immediately he threw the can to the ground and brought a sleeve up to his mouth and nose, and watched the contents leak out onto the ground and into a nearby drain, a passing crow wasn't so fortunate and fell from the sky dead before it hit the ground. In a burst of proactivity Tsuna set about making the area safe again, washing the remaining slurry into the drain with a hose from the school and placing both the can and crow into a nearby trashcan. That woman was dangerous. "Hopefully Reborn will know who she is or how to handle the situation."
Hours later and the male students of class 3-A were gathered in loose groups in their classroom eagerly awaiting the arrival of the girls who if rumour could be believed were going to share the snacks they'd made in home-ed with them. "So Tsuna, what did you think of that anime I lent you?" Yamamoto asked.
"I haven't watched all of it but I think it's pretty good. The main characters are well rounded they show baseball in a way I actually find interesting and the animation quality is quite high too. Something I'm curious about though is if you guys are gonna be okay." Tsuna said lightheartedly to his two companions. "The two of you are easily the most popular guys in class I imagine you'll both get plenty of offers. Too much food can mess you up you know." Gokudera and Yamamoto were spared having to reply as the classroom door opened and the girls entered the room to the joyous cheers of the boys. Tsuna quickly found himself separated from his friends when crowds of girls swarmed Yamamoto and Gokudera, but he barely acknowledged this because he finally caught sight of who he'd been waiting for.
His eyes met Kyoko's and she began making her way to him when he noticed the woman from before appear seemingly unnoticed by anyone else, a blur of motion and she's replaced Kyoko's rice balls with a her own set. Kyoko apparently didn't notice the change and once she reached him raised up the platter. "Would you like to eat them?" Tsuna returned her smile but didn't take one.
"Kyoko, nothing would make me happier than eating something you cooked but are you sure those are yours?" Confusion replaced her smile.
"Yes, why?" She asked.
"Because they're purple and appear to be growing fungus." Hearing Tsuna's reply Kyoko's eyes fell to what were supposed to be her handmade rice balls. Her eyes widened at seeing that Tsuna had spoken true, confusion and fear rose in her briefly before a worm popped out the top of one and her composure broke.
She screamed and at the same time threw the plate up in the air, the toxic rice balls sailed high, all three landed on the other side of the room where they burst leaving behind a noxious aroma and a big mess for the unfortunate custodian. The smell spread quickly, soon becoming too much to handle and the students all vacated the classroom.
Hours pass and the school day comes to an end, Tsuna leaves alone after the usual after-school paperwork and sets out on patrol. An hour or so passed when Reborn appeared beside Tsuna. "Haven't seen you all day Reborn, I wanted to tell you some ineffectual assassin has been targeting me all day."
"So you too then?" Suddenly A young afro headed boy jumped out from a trashcan on one side of the street a pink grenade in hand, at the same time the woman from before appeared from behind a bush, armed with a steaming pie that looked like it would set off a Geiger counter.
"DIE STUPID REBORN!" POISON BERRY SURPRISE!" The two shouted simultaneously, launching their respective attacks. Though Tsuna merely ducked his head to avoid the pie while the grenade sailed well over Reborn's head. The pie colliding with the boy's face either the force or ingredients causing him to fall back into the trashcan. At the same time the grenade blew up in front of the woman blasting her back into the wall behind her where she crumpled to the ground. Tsuna stopped to survey the damage, noting the thin trail of smoke rising from the woman. Next he walked over to the trashcan where the strange boy had fallen, picking him up out of the receptacle and wiping the majority of the toxic pastry from his face.
Reborn chose this time to hop onto Tsuna's shoulder after preforming his own check on the woman. "This kid's pretty tough to survive a hit like that."
"Really?" Tsuna asked incredulously. "That's what you find interesting about this situation and not the fact that two people just tried to kill us." Reborn merely hopped to the ground and shrugged his tiny shoulders.
"Well I am pretty popular in the underworld, the kid probably just wants to try and impress me with his skills, you don't need to worry about them. Leave them here and I'm sure they'll wake up soon enough."
"And the woman?" Tsuna waited for a reply but heard no response, circumventing around he saw the reason. Reborn had fallen asleep a huge snot bubble coming from his nose, placing the boy on the ground Tsuna slowly reached out a hand. However upon contact Reborn began deflating and as the last of the air escaped the Reborn balloon Tsuna could only raise his hands to his head griping his hair he let out a single cry of vexation. "HOW!?"
Removing all thoughts of the would-be assassins' from his mind, Tsuna continued on with his patrol venting his frustration on the first rule-breakers he came upon. It was the most convincing argument against littering those three particular highschool students had ever been presented with.
By the time Tsuna got back home having finished his patrol the sky had already grown dark, the light shining from the windows and thoughts of a hot meal raised his spirits as he stepped across the threshold and into the front hall. Only to hear the sounds of consumption and the coos of his sister and mother from the kitchen. But instead of Reborn, it was the young boy from earlier, stuffing his face with cookies as fast as he could while Tsuna's female relatives fawned over him. "Like a farm animal at the trough isn't he." Squeaked Reborn as he passed by Tsuna, seemingly on his way to the living room.
But this was enough to gain the attention of the kitchen's occupants, as Nana and Mika Sawada looked up from the cow-child to see the third member of the family. "Hey Tsuna! Meet Lambo, isn't he the cutest!" Mike lifted Lambo up for Tsuna to see though the boy remained largely intent on the cookies.
"He's apparently a friend of Reborn's, so I let him in to visit." Piped in Nana., Tsuna had to face-palm.
"God. Damn. It." Suddenly the doorbell rang. "Goddamn it!" Tsuna exclaimed turning from the kitchen and marching to the front door. When he opened the door it was to a now familiar figure, her face barely hidden by the rim of her baseball cap.
"Vongola pizza delivery." She lifted the box lid setting free a cloud of the same purple vapour from before and pulled her arm back to loose the toxic cheese disk at him. But as her arm came forward Tsuna simply closed the door in her face, hearing the splat as it hit the door Tsuna immediately opened it back up and kicked the woman hard in the midsection. As he did so he heard the sound of the Lambo wailing, and soon the boy sailed through the air over Tsuna's shoulder to land near the female assassin.
The woman got to her feet first, she stood there by the front gate defiantly. "You win today but I swear on my heart I will get Reborn back from you soon." She spat out the words before vaulting over the fence and taking off at a run with Tsuna watching her go the same way he had earlier that day.
His torpor broke when the young boy began incessantly tugging on his pants leg with tears in his eyes, "Lambo promises he'll be good if he can come back inside."
Tsuna didn't get a chance to reply as Mika appeared and scooped Lambo into her arms. "You don't need to cry Lambo of course you can come back in." The three of them entered the house and went back to the kitchen where Nana Sawada was waiting to cuddle Lambo more.
After dinner Tsuna and Reborn retired to Tsuna's room and Mika took Lambo to her room to play. "The girl mentioned she knew you Reborn, wanna tell me who she is now?" Tsuna leaned against the wall staring at Reborn who simply took a seat on his desk, petting his chameleon.
"Her name is Bianchi the Poison Scorpion, she's known for using her Poison Cooking technique to take out her targets. And, she's my current lover."
"Current?" Tsuna raised a single eyebrow.
Reborn raised his hand showing four fingers, "My fourth."
"Surprisingly high number of cradle-robbers in the mafia."
"She doesn't understand the importance of me raising you to be a good mafia boss."
"Pretty sure that's paedophilia."
"The conversation has moved forward."
"At what point do you decide to pursue a relationship with an infant?"
"Tsuna..."
"I mean, what the hell would her parents say about that?"
Leon the chameleon began glowing and changed into a green pistol which Reborn immediately grabbed and pointed at Tsuna, he didn't get the chance to fire though as the bedroom door banged open admitting Lambo holding a loaded crossbow.
"Element of surprise!" Shouted Lambo ruining what remainder of surprise anyone might have had, spotting Reborn he brought his weapon up to bear. But without looking Reborn simply fired the Leon gun striking the front of the flight track, destroying the loaded bolt and snapping the limb in two with both pieces springing back and hitting Lambo in the face hard enough for Tsuna to wince.
His face cut and bruised Lambo let out an earsplitting scream his eye ducts becoming metaphorical fountains. Right away Tsuna started forwards to comfort him but Lambo already started pulling something large and purple from his hairdo, a feat that spat in the face of Tsuna's knowledge of physics. Eventually the item was free, a purple bazooka that somehow fit in a seven year old's afro. But rather than aim the new weapon at Reborn he instead aimed the barrel at himself and with the help of a string pulled the trigger engulfing the immediate area in pink smoke.
From the cloud came a fairly deep, calm almost tired voice. "Give me a break, seems my younger self used the 10yr bazooka." As the smoke dissipated a young man was revealed, looking suave in beige pants a black jacket and a familiar cow print undershirt. He looked a year or two older than Tsuna and kept one eye closed for no apparent reason. Looking around, the newcomer quickly spied the room's other two occupants a small smile forming on his face.
"Ah, Young Vongola, good to see you. Thanks for watching out for my younger self." Teen Lambo raised two fingers to his head in salute.
Tsuna narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, flabbergasted. "...What? How does that work?!"
Mika chose this moment to peek her head in the room earning looks from all its occupants including the newly arrived Teen Lambo who raised a hand and shone a beaming smile in greeting. Her cheeks reddened slightly at the sight of him and before he could say anything she stammered out. "I have a boyfriend!" Before taking off at speed for her room.
Turning back around Lambo addressed Tsuna's question. "Its the ten year bazooka, whoever gets hit by it swaps places with themselves from ten years in the future for five minutes." Turning his head to Reborn he continued. "Pretty impressive right? That's the technology of the Bovino family." Except Reborn had again fallen asleep where he stood, he and Leon blowing identical snot bubbles. This was enough to push Lambo over the edge and he began stomping over to Reborn, not noticing the trip-line rigged with explosives Reborn had set up at some point during the conversation without being seen. The explosion was enough to shake the house and as the smoke cleared Tsuna could see Lambo quivering while repeatedly mumbling something, suddenly.
"I CAN'T! Teen Lambo jumped to his feet and ran screaming out the room and down the stairs. "MAMMMMAAAAAAA!"
Tsuna stood in his room watching the dust settle upon his possessions, somehow nothing had been damaged by the explosion. Listening to the sobbing coming from downstairs he had but one thought. "He's never going home is he?"
Closing statement leave a review now and then. They make me more motivated to write and lets me know what about the story you liked or disliked. Personally I'm especially worried about the characters acting like real people and not collection of tropes with names and descriptions as well as making sure you as the readers can follow what I'm writing. So is something isn't making sense let me know. Goodnight.
PS. Lets assume for Lambo's last screams, Mika had headphones on and Nana was diligently watching TV.
