AUTHOR NOTE: Well, I'm back from my trip, thank all things pocky, and this is the next chapter! The last one was kind of lame, so I hope to make it up with this chapter! XD

"Kyou-chan, can you please come watch all the matches?" Tsuna whined, crossing his arms and pouting. The rest of his guardians, including Lambo, were also in the Reception Room and were watching the current proceedings.
Hibari twitched, "Hn."
Tsuna's face threatened to split with his smile as he glomped his lover, "Thank you, Kyou-chan!" Hibari just grumbled his fingers automatically tapping against his thigh. There was a tiny blush on the cold prefect's cheeks, but only Tsuna noticed. Hibari knew this because Tsuna was grinning up at him evilly and poking his cheek.
Ryohei pumped his fist in the air, face confused, "You extremely understood Hibari's extreme answer, boss!"
Yamamoto laughed, "Tsuna has known Kyoya since preschool!" Gokudera rolled his eyes, slipping his hand into his lover's.
"If we don't leave now, we're going to be late for the battle," the storm guardian pointed out. Tsuna grinned and got off his boyfriend, taking Hibari's hand before jumping out the window. Hibari and Gokudera unknowingly rolled their eyes at the same time. Yamamoto grinned and followed his boss, jumping out the window, dragging his protesting lover behind. Ryohei shrugged and followed suit, hugging Lambo to his chest.
Lambo grinned and held his arms up excitedly. Chrome and Mukuro followed after the sun and thunder guardian. They landed and gathered together. Tsuna frowned, tugging on his hair, "I don't like Nami-chuu when it's quiet."
Yamamoto's smiled never faded his fingers twitching, "I've got to agree on that one, Tsuna."
"Where are they?" Gokudera questioned, beginning to grumble irritably. No one bothered trying to understand what the Italian was saying.
"They're already standing by," one of the Crevello's announced from on top of one of the buildings. Tsuna top lip twitched in irritation and Ryohei cracked his neck. "Upon a strict conference, the battle cards for the scramble have been decided for tonight. The first battle is between the Sun Guardians."
Ryohei smiled dangerously and cracked his knuckles, "Bring it to the extreme!"
The Varia and the Crevello jumped down in front of the group and the other Crevello spoke, "Thank you for gathering."
The first Crevello continued, "Now, we shall begin the scramble battle for the successor's seat." She then pointed at a cage/arena thing, "Please look over there."
Both Hibari and Tsuna growled and snapped, "It had better be gone by tomorrow, bitch/herbivore!"
"It's a special arena that we've prepared for the match between the guardians of the sun," the first Crevello started.
"This time we put the traits of the guardian of the sun into consideration and prepared the arena, although the different matches will be located in different places," the other Crevello finished.
Belphegor grinned, "They're using a lot of money. But the result of this match is obvious so it's a waste."
Yamamoto grinned very sharply, "I think this is the perfect place for Ryohei."
Ryohei smirked, holding a fist up, "This is a ring that's extremely mine!"
Lussuria pouted, "Oh? Where's boss? It's finally my turn to show myself!"
Belphegor smirked, "He seems to be absent."
Squalo sneered, placing a hand on his hip, "There's no way boss would have interest in other people's battles." He then placed his hand near his mouth, scowling; "Besides he shouldn't have accepted this lame battle and just let me kill them. I would've annihilated those brats in 5 seconds." He then whipped his head at Levi, grinning sharply, "AND, VOIIIII! WHEN ARE YOU GONNA QUIT THAT GLARE!"
The blonde prince's Cheshire Cat worthy grin came back full force as he leaned over slightly towards Mammon, "It seems like there's someone eyeing you, Mammon."
Mammon's face stayed the same, "I know. He's not even a guardian, either…I feel like charging him some observation fee."
Over at the Vongola side of the area, a more interesting conversation was happening.
Tsuna clung to his boyfriend, "But, Kyou-chan~! You can't leave yet; we haven't even started yet!"
Hibari crossed his arms and stared down at his boyfriend, "Hn."
Ryohei pumped his fists up and down, "EXTREME BATTLE! EXTREME BATTLE! EXTREME BATT—"
"Shut up, lawn head!" Gokudera shouted, punching the boxer in the back of the head and successfully cutting him off.
Yamamoto laughed, tugging his boyfriend to his side, "Maa, maa, Hayato, don't damage him before the battle!"
"Stop touching my ass, Takeshi!" Gokudera shouted, blushing bright red as he began to mumble again. Yamamoto just laughed and continued.
Mukuro laughed his weird yet sexy laugh, "What an interesting conversation the rain and storm have, right, Chrome-chan?"
Chrome blushed bright red and stuttered, "Mukuro, I don't think you should be watching them and listening to their conversation! It's-it's…ah…s-stop, M-Mukuro!" Mukuro laughed his laugh again and continued kissing his lover's neck.
Lambo scratched the back of his head, "Why is my familigia so weird?"
The first Crevello twitched slightly, why did she put up with this? She sighed and announced, "Well then, could the guardians of the sun please come to the middle of the arena?"
"I'll go play now," Lussuria sung, smiling sneakily.
"I'll enjoy this, Lussuria," Mammon commented.
Squalo frowned, "Hurry up and kill him."
As if hearing Squalo's comment, all members of Tsuna's familigia turned as one and glared at him. The Italian's eyes widened and he mentally whimpered. Ryohei then turned back around and exclaimed, "This is going to be EXTREME fun!" He then headed towards the arena.
Before he got any further, Yamamoto laughed and asked his boss, "Hey, Tsuna, we're not going to form a group circle?"
Tsuna blinked, turning to stare at the tall boy with wide eyes, "Eh?"
Gokudera gaped, also turning to stare at Yamamoto with wide eyes, "Huh?" Hibari groaned, placing his face in his hands. Mukuro's eye twitched and Chrome snorted softly, before blinking and covering her mouth in shock. Lambo gaped, seriously, what was wrong with his familigia?
Ryohei's form froze before he grinned widely and spun around hands in the air in a grabbing motion, "THAT SOUNDS EXTREMELY PASSIONATE! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THAT AT LEAST ONCE!"
Tsuna made a small whimper, "Eh?"
Gokudera scowled and roared, "You moron! Why would we do such a lame thing!"
Yamamoto laughed and grabbed Gokudera, who unintentionally grabbed Mukuro, who grabbed Chrome who dragged Lambo. Ryohei grabbed Tsuna who squeaked and grabbed Hibari, who twitched and cursed the laughing idiot who started it all. Reluctantly, well except Yamamoto, Lambo and Ryohei, they created a circle. Together, the three non-reluctant members shouted, "RYOHEI! FIGHT!"
The rest of the group reluctantly let out a semi-loud, "OH!"
Ryohei broke the circle and once again headed to the arena, "ALRIGHT, MY EXTREMELY ULTIMATE POWER IS EMERGING NOW!"
Gokudera's shoulders slumped and he dejectedly thought, sporty guys are always like this…and I'm dating one…
Tsuna clutched to his boyfriend face pale, "I actually did it, I actually did it…" Hibari patted Tsuna on the head, though his thoughts were much the same, just more bloodily.
Lussuria stared at the group and turned to his own family, "Can we—"
"No."
"Damn."

The Crevello held the ring in her hand and announced, "There's no mistake."
The other Crevello finished, "We approve of this being the true halves of the Vongola Sun ring." The Crevello continued as Ryohei took his jacket off, revealing his torso. "As a rule, we will have you hang the ring around your neck. And upon defeating your opponent and taking the ring, that person will be declared the winner."
When she finished Lussuria clasped his hands together and smiled, lifting his leg up, "OH! Oh dear!"
Ryohei blinked, panicking slightly, "What? What?" Was there something extreme on his face?
Lussuria blushed, sparkles appearing behind him, "FROM UP-CLOSE YOUR BODY LOOKS MIGHTY FINE! YOU'RE LIKE SOOOO MY TYPE!"
Ryohei's eye twitched, "What to the extreme hell?"
Tsuna cupped his hands around his mouth and called, "He's already taken! And she won't take very well with a threesome!"
Ryohei smirked and fell into his normal boxing stance. "My boss is extremely right." He smirked sharply, "Hana really wouldn't like a threesome."
"That's too bad," Lussuria commented, taking his coat off and tossing it to the side. He looked at Ryohei's position and smirked, "Oh my~! Is that a pose for boxing? Now, isn't that pathetic?" Lussuria got into his standard fighting pose. "I, Lussuria, shall go ahead and play with you with the ultimate standing martial art, Muay Thai."
Ryohei raised an eyebrow. Reborn smiled slightly, "So, Varia's guardian of the sun was a fighter too, just as I thought. Looking at the previous family members, the guardian of the sun all had a strong fist or foot. Destroying the misfortune that attacks the family with their own body, they become the sun that shines brightly upon an area. That's the purpose of the sun guardian."
Tsuna smirked, "Ryohei took heed of my order."
"The wielders of the ring of the sun, Lussuria vs. Sasagawa Ryohei. BEGIN THE BATTLE!"
(AUTHOR NOTE: I was tempted to end it here…)
The lights in the arena suddenly exploded into light. Ryohei squinted slightly and waited for his eyes to adjust to the bright light. When they adjusted he started to bounce forward and back, face serious. Despite it being an extremely important battle, he was going to treat it like a spar, considering it was Lussuria who was a friend in a weird sort of way. Of course, this didn't mean he would go easy on the guy.
Lussuria gazed at him and Ryohei nodded unnoticeably, receiving one in return. Then they rushed at each other. Ryohei blocked the kick with his left arm and punched his right arm, towards Lussuria's stomach. The multi-colored haired man leapt back in time and fell back into his stance again. Ryohei bounced back a couple steps and Lussuria took that opportunity to rush the silver haired teen.
Lussuria slammed his metal knee into Ryohei's stomach. He flew back and smashed into the surrounding cage. Hot electricity screamed through his body and he yelled out in pain. He fell forward and shivered, his entire body shaking from the aftershock. He shook his head and stood slowly, eyes closed. He was breathing heavily and you could see the burns and bruises on his body.
Ryohei shook his whole body and grinned at Lussuria, "Let's continue to the extreme!"
Lussuria smirked, "As you wish."
"TAKEN ALREADY!" Tsuna shouted.
Lussuria rolled his eyes and Ryohei punched him in the stomach. He flew up and much to the surprise of almost everyone there Ryohei's leg shot out and slammed into the gay guy's chest. Lussuria crashed into the lights above and shattered glass rained down. Ryohei watched as Lussuria fell to the floor. Before the multi-colored haired adult could reach the bottom, Ryohei kicked him again, but into the surrounding cage.
The burning electricity rushed through his body and his metal knee acted as a conductor. He screamed and collapsed to the floor. He shakily got up and suddenly Ryohei was in front of him. His right fist was glowing yellow and slammed into his metal knee, shattering it. Lussuria's eyes widened and the pain didn't seem to process. Then all at once it did and he fell to the floor, writhing.
It suddenly hit the Varia member that if he didn't get up, he was going to be killed. Ryohei walked over and crouched down. He mumbled without his lips moving, "I'm taking the ring and I'll get boss to pay the hospital expenses to get your knee fixed." He reached out and tore Lussuria's half off the chain. He clicked the two halves together and the Crevello appeared in the ring.
"Sasagawa Ryohei has taken the ring and therefore wins today's scramble battle," the first Crevello announced. Lussuria slowly got up, panting harshly. All the Vongola member's eyes flashed and their weapons were suddenly in hand. However, they were not needed as Ryohei tackled Lussuria away from the sudden attack. The bullets exploded against the fence and all glares were set on the Varia.
Tsuna's eyes glowed as his fangs peeked over his lip and his pupils contracted into slits. He narrowed his eyes at the Varia, "And what the hell do you think you are trying to do to Luss-chan?"
Gokudera paled and waved his hands around madly, "Calm down, Tuna-chan!"
All the Varia froze. Squalo faced Tsuna, mouth opened. His mouth opened and closed like he was trying to say something but couldn't. Finally he managed to choke out, "VOIII! Y-you're T-tuna!"
Tsuna sneered, eyes flashing dangerously, "What of it, jackass?"
Squalo gaped, eyes bugging. "You aren't part of the Varia, Lussuria," Mammon stated blankly. Lussuria's eyes dimmed and his shoulders slumped.
Tsuna scoffed, "He is still under my order, so he's still part of the familigia, asshole." Lussuria looked at him gratefully.
"This is the end of tonight's match," the first Crevello announced. "But from now on, we shall announce the next battle's participants." Nobody said anything. "Tomorrow evening's battles will be the match between the thunder guardians." The Crevello pressed a button and the arena collapsed. "We will meet tomorrow evening."
Ryohei helped Lussuria up and the two slowly made their way over to the Vongola Familigia. Tsuna sighed and lead them all to his house. Lambo sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "Meh, I don't want to fight tomorrow, so troublesome."
"Oh hush, Lambo," Tsuna retorted.
"Hai, hai, Tsuna-nii," Lambo responded rolling his eyes.

"Luss-chan this is my Maman, Nana," Tsuna introduced. "Maman, this is my friend Lussuria. Could you help bandaging him up?"
Nana smiled, easily taking over carrying Lussuria. "Sure, Tsu-kun!" she responded brightly. Tsuna smiled and left Lussuria in the tender care of his mother. He then turned to Lambo.
"Lambo, we need to talk tomorrow." Tsuna glared at the eight year old sternly, "And there is no escaping it."
Lambo sighed, "Alright, alright, Tsuna-nii."
