I got up the next chapter, thanks to all of your wonderful reviews! XD Anyways, I kinda forgot to answer a question in the last update... PLEASEFORGIVEMEEEEFISUKISAKI ! Cough, cough, and it will help the other readers to know more about the gun I introduced... Yup the five-year gun.

Five-year Gun: A gun that adds five years to your current age; as shown in the previous chapter. It can be shot multiple times to add up the numbers. Like the ten-year bazooka, it has a time limit, no not the five minute rule... I extended it to a week.

So yeah... I hope that cleared things up... Anyways here is the ne— Ah before that, I want you readers to send me reviews on what type of dresses Kana would use in the upcoming ball. Yeah, I was too lazy to even think up one, but I was also pressured on time... So yeah, it'd be a big help if you could describe the dress Kana should wear, thanks! XD

Now finally to the next chapter! I sadly don't own KHR...


Chapter 7: Dilemmas...

"..." Kana stared blankly at Reborn. Then spoke up. "Come again. I think I misheard you..."

"The suit has to go for the ball." He repeated.

Kana mulled that one statement over. Her thoughts churning at what it meant. Her result? She pouted. "Na-uh! I don't want to take off the suit! I'm not putting on one of those crude dresses!"

The air became murderous, the room inhabitant's nearly suffocated. Even G, who wasn't even near the room... yet, had a shiver run down his spine. All except Kana were affected. Kana's been exposed to too many murderous glares in her lifetime, and had adjusted a long time ago. But what she couldn't suppress was the huge pit in her stomach, a sign that never failed to mention that something wrong is going to happen. Yet Kana still held out. Reborn smirked. "Then I will tell Maman that you don't need her cheesecake for a year."

Kana's face contorted into horror. "NOOOO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!"

"Then the suit has to go." Reborn brought up his proposal (more like his demand...). Kana started sulking.

When she sighed she answered. "Fine. I'll wear one of those dresses..."

The rest of the guys in the room, all gaped. The same thought running through their heads: Kana actually agreed on wearing a dress!?

Kana seemed to notice their invisible thoughts. Cause she turned on them and growled. "Don't get it wrong. It's for the cheesecake. THE CHEESECAKE!"

She then turned and began sulking in the corner. Tsuna turned to his spartan tutor. "Reborn was it really necessary for her to wear a dress?"

"Absolutely." Was his single word answer. Almost all of the Tenth generation knew how Kana practically despised wearing a dress in front of men. And a lot of the most innocent ones had massive nosebleeds... and had to be rushed to the hospital quickly. Reborn turned to, the still shocked, Giotto (at the doorway). "Could you get a dress selection ready, Primo?"

"Huh? Uh... oh yeah! Alright, I'll tell the maids to pick them out." Giotto was still dumbfounded at how quickly Kana had agreed to wearing one of those dresses. It was the cheesecake, he would do the same if his strawberry ice cream cake was on the line.

He left, with G trailing behind him. Leaving the Tenth generation to cheer Kana up. A little while later they somehow got Kana out of her sulking position, and on the couch. They soon began talking with themselves.

"But how are we going to get back home?" Tsuna questioned, sitting beside his twin, who was really quiet at the moment. The dress situation must have gotten to her...

"We don't know how long we'll be here, or how long it'll take for Spanner and Shouchi to make a portal to return." Reborn tipped his fedora down to shadow his eyes. But it never hid his smirk on his face. "So until we can go back, we'll participate in what comes up in this era. And don't even think that your off the hook on your training."

"Alright." Tsuna put his head in his hands, muffling his voice slightly. But he couldn't suppress a shiver.

"I EXTREMELY HAVE NO CLUE ON WHAT'S GOING ON!?" Ryohei yelled in thought, whilst crossing his arms across his chest and slightly shaking his head.

"Shut up Lawn-head! Can't you see Jyuudaime is thinking?!" Gokudera yelled at the Tenth Generation Sun Guardian.

"WHAT WAS THAT TAKO-HEAD?!" Ryohei turned to glare at the self-proclaimed right hand man.

"Maa, maa. No need to fight now," Yamamoto held back a fuming Gokudera, smiling while he was at it... the usual.

"You guys..." Tsuna sweatdropped at his friends antics. Lambo practically lazed around. Apparently, using the ten-year bazooka in the past can elongate its time limit. So Lambo was still 15, despite the fact that five minutes had already run out. And thus leading him to look bored at the arguing trio, with his infamous closed eye. Yup, I'm totally exaggerating... ANYWAY, lets get back to how Kana is doing...

Said girl looked up with a new determination glint in her eyes. Reborn felt this and turned to her with a raised brow. She took that as a sign to speak. "Is there makeup involved?"

Everybody in the (even those who were arguing) stopped when they heard Kana speak up. It had been approximately close to an hour for Kana to be silent. Yet it was a healthy sign that she was in no withdrawal symptoms. Believe me, there were more longer records than an hour... Reborn broke the minute of silence to answer the said girl's question. "Yes there is, problem?"

But Kana had no objections. Why? She had passed out due to the fact that makeup was involved. For a girl, there was a lot of dilemmas in her life. Not to mention the time Reborn hid her cheesecake for a month (it wasn't pretty), all because of her horrible grades in science. A 22 was scored on her chemistry unit test, an 11 in biology, and finally a 1 on her physics. Poor girl. Life can be so cruel sometimes...

Tsuna began fussing over Kana ever since she passed out. Foam beginning to collect at her mouth. That was never a good sign... "KANA!? KANA-CHAN!? REBORN! HELP ME HERE! KANA-CHAN IS DYING!"

Reborn being Reborn, just sat there in his spot. Not caring. As per usual, his fedora shadowed his eyes. Gokudera, being the smarty he is, gave advice. "She needs a shock to go through her body! Everything seemed to have stopped functioning!"

Ah, how the mafia have their weird times... it beats the normal life a human should have...

"HIIIEE! HOW ARE WE GOING TO SHOCK HER?!" Tsuna began panicking. The tuna-way!

"Dame-Tsuna, use your head." Reborn smacked Tsuna on his head, with the butt side of his Leon-gun. And gave the answer when he was satisfied in beating up his student. "Use your Lightning Guardian to shock Kana."

After a hassle (with Reborn watching amused), and bringing back Kana from a near death situation. Said girl was lying unconscious. The rest of the generation settled back down. Silence filled the room to some extent, until a small tapping nose could be heard throughout the room. Everyone turned to see who it was. Of course it was Giotto. "Uh... um, the dresses are laid out if she wants to pick now."

"Ah, alright. We'll tell her when she wakes up." Tsuna smiled as he glanced over his still unconscious sister. His face softening at the sight of her peaceful face, it then turned serious when the current matters seemed to come back full force. His gaze turned to the ground. Giotto and Reborn noticed this, but didn't question it.


A little while later, with Primo's Guardians, things had come to an end. No, not the end of the world, the end of the pile of invitations they wrote and sent... No I lied again, less than a quarter of the invitations needed to be done by tomorrow noon. And there was still the whole decorating needed to be done.

Giotto was now in his office. At his desk, his eye twitched at his sworn nemesis. His arch nemesis: paperwork. He groaned and massaged his temples, then he faced them with determination. It wasn't even an hour when a knock sounded from the door. Without looking up, said man answered it. "Come in."

Tsuna poked his head in the room. "Sorry for interrupting. I couldn't sleep."

He looked down in embarrassment. Giotto smiled at the boy. To think that he was the one who called him Papa, not too long ago... "It's alright. You can stay here."

"Thanks." Tsuna mumbled, his head still bent. He made his way to the couch on the other side of the room and made himself comfortable.

It wasn't even a minute of silence when Giotto spoke up. "You care for her."

"... Yeah I do... She's important to... me." Tsuna replied sleepily, before drifting off to sleep. Giotto turned back to his paperwork, but when he got halfway through he yawned.

Looking at the rest of his paperwork, he mumbled to himself. "I'll get it done tomorrow."

With that, he got up did a little stretch and went to find a blanket. He later returned to his study and wrapped it around himself and Tsuna on the couch. Sleep hit him as soon as he closed his eyes.
