:O chapter 10! Well, from now on it's going to be tough, I admit. I have college entrance exams to be worrying about so I might not update as much D8 sorry guys. I swear though I'll finish this.

BTW I read the new chapter and... DX don't want to spoil anyone but I kinda lost my hatred for Deamon, sure I think he's still a prick worth annoying but I don't seriously hate him now the poor dear :(

G had said before they might fall of a cliff, which is bad, because he might have had actually jinxed them.

And jinx them he did.

They would have fallen off a cliff if Tsuna hadn't gone into hyper mode and saved them. Now, he was stuck in the body of a ten year-old, he was one and he felt like one. The weight was simply too much but thank goodness his gloves had backward thrusters otherwise they would have been screwed. Apparently, Mitchel had fallen asleep and only when did he wake up was when there was a loud thud of the carriage being dropped and movement behind his head.

"Er...Mitchel? Why don't we stay at a local inn for tonight?" Tsuna said as he was standing on top of the carriage.

"Aye," Mitchel answered as he looked towards at the now setting sun. "It's been a tiring for the horses and I still need to tend to tack... nice mittens you have there young master." Mitchel tipped his hat with a grin on his face.

Tsuna momentarily forgot he was still wearing his gloves. Scratching the back off his head he smiled and plopped down beside Mitchel.

"You don't mind if I sit here?"

"Don't mind if I do, awfully lonely here..." then he started in a rather long talk about horses and daily work at the mansion. Tsuna listened to his every word while all the time keeping an eye on him; can't afford to fall off another cliff can they?

Arriving at a small town, Tsuna and the others stopped by an inn. Alone. Mitchel had refused to leave the carriage, lest someone had decided to steal it, so he insisted on staying at the stables.

And here they were, standing in front of the inn. It sounded easy just to walk in but sadly, they were in the forms of children. So what did they do?

"This feels so weird." Tsuna said as he looked at his hands. "Are you sure the illusion is working?"

"My Tsunayoshi, are you doubting Chrome's abilities?" Mukuro asked. Chrome blushed a little.

"No! It's just... I'm not used to this that's all!" Tsuna's reply was.

"Enough." Hibari growled menacingly, silencing Tsuna. Hibari did not like illusions, in fact, he hated them. Especially if it was being used on himself. It's fine if it's being used against enemies but having it on himself just left him impatient and grouchy. Tsuna could already see the annoyed waves emitting from his cloud guardian and hastily went in.

Right now, all of them were covered in an illusion that Chrome had made (Mukuro refused to do it, he said it was making fun of his skills and that he would rather sleep out in the wilderness). The illusion was simply just their normal forms. It felt like wearing some kind of thin material, silky like satin, elastic, covering them from head to toe.

No time for complaining though, once he had asked for the rooms and that their meals would be brought up, they went straight up.

As soon as they stepped into their rooms, the illusion wore off and he was on the bed with Gokudera and Yamamoto. Chrome, Mukuro and Hibari had their own rooms while Ryohei and Lambo shared one.

They ate and shortly after that, they went straight off to bed.

...

Tsuna could feel the hairs standing on his neck and woke up with a start. It was still dark but Tsuna's hyper intuition was screaming at him to get up. There was danger, and it was close. He sat up and shook his friends awake.

"Gokudera-kun." Tsuna whispered as he shook his shoulder gently.

"Big sis... no...no... not the cookies... anything but the cookies!" Gokudera groaned in his sleep.

"Gokudera-kun!"

"Wha- Jyuddaime!" he exclaimed, startled.

"Gokudera-kun, please wake the others up, we can't stay here, we need to go!" Tsuna said, his voice urgent as he was dressing himself. Pulling his cloak on he went out to the stables, leaving Gokudera in a daze as his half-asleep mind registered his boss' request.

When it finally sunk in he jumped to his feet and grabbed his pillow and threw it at Yamamoto. "Wake up baseball-nut!"

"Huh? What?" Yamamoto said as he sat up, wiping his drool away.

"I said wake up! Jyuddaime said to get up... we need to go!" Gokudera said as he went to the other rooms to wake the others.

When they had gathered outside, the carriage stopped in front of them. Tsuna stepped out,

"Get in! I don't have time to explain right now but hurry!" he said. They did as they were told. Clambering beside Mitchel, who was apparently calm compared to a normal person would have been frightened, Tsuna gave him the signal and off they went. Looking back, Tsuna could feel the hostile presence pursuing them. Letting the moonlight be his only source of light, he could faintly see the figures of three men in horseback. Mitchel cursed.

"Grandad wouldn't like to hear this." Mitchel muttered to himself and pulled on the reins. The carriage lurched forward suddenly as the horses went galloping. Tsuna grabbed on tightly.

"They're still coming!" he shouted.

"Lead them off for a while! We're close to the road!" Mtichel said as he whipped the horses onward.

"Leave it to me tenth!" Gokudera said as he plopped open a hatch and threw a bomb at their enemy's way while Mitchel swerved into a dark and lonesome dirt road. A large explosion occurred, frightening the horses but it was effective, the enemy had not seen this coming.

Mitchel let out a howl of delight. Praising Gokudera while driving. Gokudera sat there, smug. Tsuna continued to stay at watch though, it was faint but he can still sense hostile. Even if they were to after them it would have been useless, the dirt road they had entered led into a dark and lonesome wood. It would have been hard to find them in this godforsaken place as it is. The road was wild, tree branches scratched against the carriage eerily, and the worst thing, it felt like the whole place came straight from a horror movie. Now that the danger had passed, Tsuna shrunk on his seat, his eyes darting here and there whenever he heard sounds. Mitchel didn't seem affected much but he looked a bit pale. With only light from the oil lamp, the road before them was dim so they saw very little.

Tsuna yelped when he heard something from above. He heard a soft hoot and looked closely. Oh, an owl. Silly him, it was just an owl! When he looked back at it, the owl had it's back turned. When it turned, it's head was morphed hideously to look like some fleshless eagle's head. Tsuna choked back a scream and fainted.

"How's Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked Mitchel. Mitchel looked at Tsuna, slumped on his seat, not moving.

"Fallen asleep he did." he said. Yamamoto smiled and sat back down to his seat.

"Oi, pineapple head! What are you snickering about?" Gokudera demanded.

"Nothing. Nothing at all." Mukuro replied, but his eyes were dancing in amusement. That was for waking them in the middle of the night, Mukuro thought.

From the outside, the owl blinked, not even bothered by the illusion cast upon it and flew away and into the night.

The next day, Tsuna was riding in the carriage. How he got there, he didn't know but in his place sat Ryohei, chattering with Mitchel. The sun had already risen and his stomach grumbled.

"Want some Tsuna?" Yamamoto offered a fresh bun.

"Thanks." Tsuna said as he took the bun gratefully. "So what was all that about young Vongola? Last night?" Lambo asked.

"Stupid cow! Can't you read the situation?"

"Lambo-san knows!"

"Then why are you asking?"

"Lambo-san meant why we were attacked!"

"A good question..." Mukuro said thoughtfully.

Tsuna chewed slowly and swallowed. "I don't know Lambo... no enemy famiglia haven't found out about us yet." He looked at Hibari who wordlessly stared at him. Tsuna sighed. "They could be bandits for all I know." he bit into his bun again.

"So where did you guys get the food?"

"Murdered the baker." Mukuro answered. Tsuna choked.

"I swear we didn't Jyuddaime!" Gokudera glared at Mukuro. "He stole it!"

That was even worse! Tsuna thought as Yamamoto thumped him on the back. "Why would you steal it?" Tsuna asked.

Mukuro shrugged. "I didn't steal it, the baker gave it to me for free." he said. Tsuna groaned inwardly and sighed, if they were branded fugitives then that was the least of their worries...

Time passed but they were still traveling in the forest. They swapped places with each other to keep an eye on Mitchel. Other than that they did nothing but talk, threaten to kill each other and talk. As if the young Vongola boss had enough on his plate without going insane. Just a little more... Tsuna prayed to himself as Gokudera threatened to tie Lambo at the back of the carriage ang have him dragged by the horses.

Giotto paced around his office, holding a cup of tea in hand with a worried expression on his face. Never did he feel so worried to point of needing tea. Of all things! He should have went with them personally! Or better yet, should not have let them go because this crawling feeling in his stomach did not suite him well. No, he was a boss and a boss should be cool and composed at all times but right now, with his hair bad as bed hair, his lips pursed in a tight line and brows furrowed, he didn't look so much as a boss but more like a troubled twenty-four year old!

A soft knock made him composed himself quickly, "Come in." he said.

Deamon walked in with some papers in hand. Giotto mentally groaned at the sight.

"I'll be honest with you Primo, you look like crap." he said as he eyed his blonde boss. Giotto sighed wearily. "I know Deamon, it's just that-"

"You're worried for those brats." Deamon stated. Giotto nodded. As much as those brats irritated him (to the point of thinking of murdering them in their beds), especially the brunette, they weren't really that bad. Scratch that, he hated Alaude's little look-alike and G's annoying brat.

"I for one think you should have sent them to the orphanage since they got here," Giotto was about to open his mouth when Deamon then said, "but as long as they don't interfere with the Vongola then I don't care what you do." Dropping the papers on the desk, he then left, leaving an astonished Giotto who watched him as he leaved.

Well that was something... Deamon had finally approved of them. Glancing on his watch, he placed his cup down. Eleven thirty! He hardly even noticed it was night already! He should get to bed before G drags him or something.

Yawning, he snuffed out the candles in his office and went to bed.

Deamon watched as Primo went inside his room and sighed. The man was absolutely attached with the child! How can Primo get any more softer? He had given his permission because of the way the guardians were, even Lampo and the proud Alaude were affected. Alaude would never admit it though. He disliked the brats, but they were no harm... for now.

Turning on his heel, he went to his room, his face white against the moonlight streaming down from the windows, making him look like a ghost in haunting.

It was already the third day Tsuna was playing with Natsu on his lap, scratching his stomach. Rewarded with purring, Tsuna chuckled and continued to scratch him. Mukuro was reading (with his earplugs on ), while ignoring the existence of his companions. Ryohei and Yamamoto were asking Tsuna about Natsu, noticing the lion cub had grown a bit. Chrome was watching the exchange between Gokudera and Lambo. Obviously Gokudera was in his boiling point;

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No." Gokudera said through gritted teeth. If the tenth weren't here beside him he would have blown the stupid cow to smithereens .

Lambo sighed. His eyes flickered back to Gokudera and smirked a little.

"Are we there now?" he asked, making the 'now' longer that it sounded like a whine. A sound like steel breaking in half was heard. Gokudera's patience has snapped in half. He stood up, glowering over Lambo's figure that took shelter behind Chrome. Mukuro took her by the arm wordlessly and pulled her away, leaving Lambo cowering under Gokudera's murderous gaze.

"Stupid cow… understand this…" he said, his voice sounding strained as he tried to muster all his will to refrain from shouting. "We…" he was grinding his teeth. "Are not there yet!" he growled lowly.

Lambo nodded and Gokudera plumped back into his seat, letting out a heavy sigh of frustration. Tsuna patted him on the shoulder and smiled. Gokudera smiled back, it was worth not throwing the stupid cow out of the carriage after all.

Tsuna couldn't blame Lambo though, all of them were bored too. God knows it was a miracle that they haven't killed each other yet, especially with Gokudera's temper, Hibari's thirst for blood and Mukuro's presence here. Tsuna knew that it wouldn't last long though. They were at their witt's end.

Lambo sighed.

"Are we there yet?" he said before stopping himself. Gokudera was about yell when Chrome pointed out, "Look!"

They leaned against the window, pushing each other to get a good look with their noses pressed against the glass.

"Whoa..." Tsuna breathed as he took in what he saw.

Trees, bigger than Tsuna have ever seen were arched like a huge gateway as they went in deeper. Faces of high rock circled around as far as Tsuna could see and he wondered, how big was this academy exactly? His question was later answered as they exited the forest and into something that Tsuna thought was just... epic? That was the first impression as they found themselved looking at a castle, it wasn't grand like some, it was close to almost what Vongola HQ was... except it had four towers looking towards the horizon and past the high rocks. The closer they came towards the gate, they noticed that they were attracting the attention of curious students on horseback. Tsuna gulped and pulled back as their eyes narrowed suspiciously at them.

"Don't worry," Mitchel said. "They don't bite but be careful on whose territory you're on!" he warned.

"What do you mean by that?" Gokudera asked as they neared to a stop.

"Here we are! Welcome to Enollavac Academy!" Mitchel said as he opened the door. They stepped out, Tsuna first and Hibari being the last. They looked around and felt like this was some Aristocrat's property but that didn't happen to be the case because the headmaster... well... you'll see him for yourself.

And that's what exactly happened as soon as Tsuna took one step, a man out of nowhere, had engulfed him in a rib cracking emrace. He had familair blonde hair, which was long and tied, and Tsuna almost blurted out Dino's name if it weren't for the ember eyes that he saw but, the face was the same and he really didn't have time to talk... he was suffocating so much his eyes were bugging out.

"Looks exactly like Vongola Primo! What a darling boy!" Tsuna struggled with the help of his friends as they tried to pry away their boss but to only get sucked in a group hug. Mukuro, Chrome and Hibari stood far away as if the man had an incureable disease, prefferably cancer.

"I love new students!" the man said and this time, Gokudera wasn't holding back and began swearing in both Italian and Japanese. The man pulled back (to their relief, thank god!) and gasped. "Such language for a child!" he shook his head sorrowfully. "G will never change." he sighed. Irritated, Gokudera's face kept twitching in annoyance. This person was extremely annoying, worse than the turf-top and stupid cow... actually, this man was a natural born idiot!

Gokudera looked up at the name of the school again and gawked. "Jyuddaime..." he whispered.

"What is it Gokudera-kun?"

"If you read Enovallac Academy backwards... it reads Cavallone." Gokudera whispered. Indeed it was and the others, now realizing it, had turned to the strange blonde man that looked so similar to their comrade. He beamed at them and bowed.

"Welcome to my humble school, I am the headmaster, Flavio, boss of the Cavallone Family."

Yeah, so I added a weird character. Forgive me but I was just wondering that it would have been wonderful to have some old friends around so I made Flavio. Don't worry, he can get serious and I only made sure that in this fic, it's only Flavio whose weird so Dino is spared from Flavio's genes XD

This chapter isn't really my best but I did what I could, school is just... ARGGHHHH! I'll make them better next time! I swear on Tsuna's underpants that I will!

Oh, and another thing, if you guys want to suggest your own characters as extras to my story, that would be great because in this world in my head, there is never enough people to be people. XD
