I finally, finally got this chapter up. After comparing the original to this one, I decided to rewrite Gokudera completely. I just couldn't work around the original one, but I hope you guys like it anyways. Drop a line or two on what you think of this chapter.
*I promise to have the fifth chapter out a least before the end of the year.*

Rainbow: Rewritten Chapter 4 Fireworks
Lately Namimori have been on edge. There have been a lot of explosions, but there were a lot of mix stories as well. Some people believe it's fireworks, like the police have been telling the residents, but other firmly believe that it's explosions, like Tsuna, Yamamoto, and his mother believe. Tsuna, told his mother to stay inside so she wouldn't get caught in the crossfire, but even he knew it was futile considering how infrequent the explosions were and that they didn't always happen in the same place. Sometimes, the explosions would occur all the way in the Kokuyo area, and sometimes it would be close to the market area. It was a really frightening thing, so a curfew for everybody in the Namimori area was enforced until the catch the terrorist as some people called that person.
It was another self-study class period as the teachers have been in one meeting after the next. The students were all nervous since an explosion occurred right in the middle of town, luckily nobody was hurt, but the damages were pretty bad, even Yamamoto dad sushi shop was clipped in the explosion, lucky it was just superficial burns.
"My dad is beyond furious, I never seen him like that," Yamamoto said as he was writing the answered one of the many math problems his teacher assigned to his class. With the teachers in and out of class, they'll never know if they could get through a lesson so they had no choice, but to give them busy work.
Tsuna grunted, "Not surprised, your dad shop could've gotten burned badly and who knows if his insurance could've paid for it or not. Plus you guys had customers too, young ones at that, it's understandable to be furious. Whoever is setting off these explosions isn't taking the people around him into consideration."
Yamamoto perked up at that, "You don't think they're doing this on purpose?"
"I wouldn't go as far as to say that, I mean it's not an accident either, but I don't think that person is trying to hurt the people in the area, but I can be wrong, we're talking somebody who have explosions and if they want to hurt somebody they can." Yamamoto eyes narrowed. Whoever that person was, was crazy no doubt about it.
"So what are you going to do about it," a squeaky voice asked. Reborn was sitting on top of Tsuna's head as usual and Tsuna ignored him, which left Yamamoto to answer.
"We're not going to do anything about it, if we get directly involved in it, then we'll deal with it, but I'm not all that keen to go looking for trouble." He said shaking his head. Nope, he's not going to go looking for the bastard, but he didn't want to wait for another disaster to occur either.
"What about you Tsuna," Tsuna shrugged.
"Like Yamamoto said, I'm not going to looking for the person, whose doing this, for the matter, I really don't care, so long as nobody I know gets hurt, I don't care, but if I do see him, I'm going to teach them a lesson they won't soon to forget." That was an absolute promise.

After school activities were cancelled indefinitely somewhat. It didn't matter to Tsuna or Yamamoto considering, Tsuna was never in a club, and Yamamoto quit last month after he had his cast removed. As soon as he came to school without his cast, everybody swamped him about finally being able to participate on the team again. Apparently, they didn't believe him when he said he was going to bench himself for the rest of the seasons. His team and fans were angry and said that if he didn't come back, then he was off the team. Yamamoto walked leaving everybody feeling stupid.
"Yamamto, do you regret leaving the baseball team?" Tsuna asked.
"I don't miss being used."
"So you miss baseball period."
"Yeah, I think about joining another baseball team," Yamamoto sounded excited. "I went to watch a neighborhood baseball team play and it looks like the coach values team work and actually cares about what happens to his players." Yamamoto smiled. "I'm going to watch a few more of their practices before deciding if I want to join."
Tsuna nodded in understanding then he turned his head towards an alley where he heard a bunch of people yelling, but he couldn't quite see them. Suddenly Tsuna doubled over when he heard a loud ringing sound in his ears. Yamamoto was shouting at him, but Tsuna was in so much pain and the need to flee was so great. Yamamoto picked him up bridal style and took off for the hospital until there was a blast that came out of the alley they were nearby and fell. The blast knock him off his feet and he could hear screaming as the debris from the alley came flying out hitting a few innocent bystanders.
Yamamoto got on his knees not quite trusting himself to move and was more scared of another pending explosion. He jumped when he felt something grab him. He look down to see Tsuna looking up at him and shook his head.
"Are you okay?"
"No, I'm not," Tsuna hissed, his eyes cutting towards the alleyway. "Actually I'm very pissed." The smoke from the alleyway cleared up mostly and Tsuna caught sight of a pale skin and silver hair person. It had to be a boy, but Tsuna wasn't a hundred percent sure.
"Tsuna," Yamamoto spoke softly as if to not incur Tsuna's wrath.

Yamamoto knew something was bugging Tsuna. Hell, it was something was bothering him too. He could've sworn he saw somebody standing at the end of the alleyway of death that he and Tsuna barely just avoided. However, at the moment he was more concern about Tsuna's sudden headache. He tried getting Tsuna's attention more than once about it, but he was merely brushed off as he and Tsuna went to his house.
They made it to the Sawada residence and Tsuna just kicked his shoes off and went straight to the kitchen. And slammed his hands on the table in front of Reborn and said, "You're involved in this aren't you?" Yamamoto rushed to stop Tsuna from strangling the weird kid. He still couldn't wrap his mind that one-two year kid is articulate and has the ability to pop in and out of places like magic.
"Alright let's not fight, especially not you Tsuna, you gave me quite a scare earlier." Reborn put his coffee down. "I still think you need to go to the-," Tsuna shook him off.
"I'm fine."
"What happened," Reborn asked, Yamamoto just laughed nervously as the big beady eyes stared him down.
"Tsuna had a massive headache earlier when we were walking passed the alley earlier," Yamamoto said ignoring the traitor look that he was receiving from Tsuna. "He nearly passed out when I picked him up and I was about to take him to the hospital then the explosion occurred and Tsuna refuse to go to the hospital."
"That's because I saw a foreigner in the alleyway and knew you had something to with it Reborn." Reborn gave a fake pout. "Don't give me that, there is absolutely no reason what so ever for a foreigner to even step foot on these grounds, except either they know who you are or there was a breach in security about who I am and I going with the first choice."
Reborn just smirked and Tsuna sighed. Yamamoto knew that Reborn was a devious child, but he couldn't help but be a little angry at the chaos that was spreading across town, that and the headache.
"Are you sure you're okay Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked ignoring the exasperate sigh Tsuna let out.
"Yes, it went away after the explosion went off." Yamamoto frowned, 'After the explosion?' There was a gleam in Reborn's eyes; no doubt he probably figured something out.
"Your hyper intuition is getting stronger," Reborn said almost smugly. Tsuna huffed and Yamamoto stayed confused.

Tsuna played with the ice cream cone he had in his hands. He decided to skip the rest of school after being interrogated by the police about the incident. Apparently a student from his school pointed out that Yamamoto and he were the closest to the incident. Tsuna told Yamamoto not to say too much about the incident, he wanted to catch the boy himself. Seriously, what was that kid deal? Coming into somebody else's town and blowing up properties like it was nobody's business, it was annoying. And let's just say Tsuna was less than please when he almost caught in the blast. Yamamoto and he barely escaped with their lives.
Tsuna threw away the ice cream cone and fingered the dagger he had strapped to his belt. It wasn't anything special, it was some old, rusty dagger that he found in some antique shop ran buy some creepy guy that was just staring and smiling. Come to think of it, the man gave it to him for free. Tsuna shrugged to himself. It didn't matter, he had a feeling that he wasn't going to need the dagger, but it was much more reassuring to have it regardless.
Tsuna saw a flash of silver from the corner of his eyes and stood up to follow the figure. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it was the culprit that has been blowing up Namimori. When Tsuna saw the culprit, he wasn't all that surprised though slightly disappointed. The culprit was simply a boy his age, lanky like he hasn't had a good meal in a while, very thuggish and angry looking, but he was a looker. Can't imagine why the boy would be so distructive, but Reborn promised him that if he was able to successfuly capture the boy Reborn will tell him everything about troublemaker. Tsuna knew that Reborn wasn't going to tell him everything, but any information that Tsuna could hold against the boy was good enough.
Tsuna hurried up to catch up with the boy, but he needed a subtle approach to get the boy to come with him. Without a moment to spare, Tsuna did the first thing that came to mind. "Hey you," The hair boy turn towards him and Tsuna delivered a harsh right hook at the boys face successfully knocking him out. Tsuna winced as that wasn't quite what he had in mind, but he had no time to waste. He hoists the boy over his shoulders and ran as fast as he could to his home, he couldn't risk his captive waking up.
