I is for Insomnia

Another sigh escaped his lips. He couldn't stop thinking—worrying about tomorrow night's battle. He still couldn't understand what was so important about the Vongola Rings; not even after Reborn told him a number of times.

He turned over onto his back, yawning none too quietly, rubbing his tired eyes. If he kept going on without sleep he was bound to die or worse be defeated when it was his turn to face Xanxus.

A tremor of fear ran down his spine and with a start he bolted up to a sitting position when something banged against his window. He slowly stood up and crept over to the window of his room to find nothing different or anyone there.

"I-I must be hallucinating," He mumbled to himself; going back to sit down on his bed.

Five nights passed with absolutely no sleep; the only rest he got was when Basil knocked him out during training.

He didn't want his friends to get hurt or worse fighting for him; he couldn't stand it. It was completely insane that Lambo was expected to fight in less than twenty hours. He was only five for Heaven's sake! Without any training!

Even if the cow-suit clad boy was annoying as Hell, he didn't want to see him in any pain whatsoever. Lambo was like the younger brother he never had.

"Ahlalala~! Dame Tsuna, baka Tsuna; Lambo-san is strong. Gyahaha~!"

The tired teen looked down over to the sleep-talking child, who was fast asleep on the floor. A small smile formed on the teen's face. If anything he was going to have faith in Lambo, and if worse comes to worst he would interfere with the battle to save him!

With that he got back under his covers, closing his eyes; hoping for the much needed sleep to reach him.
