Ciaossu! Sorry for the wait, I had exams and was studying the whole month. Alright not an excuse for a trio of month's I missed out on updating.

Anyways have to say that I didn't really know what to do with this chapter. I had to rewrite the whole chapter when I realized it was so bad. I had no fun in doing the rewriting at all.

Well enjoy the chapter! Ciao, Ciao!

Chapter 13: Skylark Anyone?

"How did I end up in this situation… again?" Tsuna mentally asked cried as he stared blankly, sitting on a wooden chair with high backrest, tied… cuffed tightly to it with no way of escaping with two pairs of steely gray eyes glaring at him, "Oh that's right, I just decided to be stupid and follow a passing by chibi-skylark from the baseball field… Dammit, Dame-Tsuna, next time you tail somebody always pay attention to where you are going, because now you are in a realm of where your Carnivorous Cloud Guardian was trained and raised! Didn't Reborn always tell you that?"

He paused, letting his words sink in until he found the connection about the hitman saying something similar to that in his past making him pale in both realization and fright, "Reborn has been recording everything that I have done since I have been here! That's why he has been harshly training me since I was young! It's because of 'me' arriving in this timeframe! Did I piss off some god to assign him as my devil guardian since birth?"

He really wanted to cry now but with the parents of his Cloud Guardian, it was not going to happen; head drooped, though it didn't help avoid the stabbing gazes of the two in front of him. "Are you listening young man?" the woman wearing a kimono said tapping her feet bringing him back up to her and her husband's gaze, "Tell us how you got our son in this condition?"

"Unless you want to die I suggest you tell us the truth," the man, wearing a formal suit, said coldly looking exactly like the Older Hibari… or Kyoya.

"At least his father seemed friendlier than the son."

"Umm… well-" however he was cut off when something metallic stabbed firmly into the wood next to his head with a soft ring. It wasn't long for the perspiration to form as he saw the kunai. The mother apparently was holding several of those sharp objects in her kimono threw a few more with some of them landing around his head with impatience in her eyes, "HEEIII!"

"Hazumi, scaring him with blades will not work," the man said as he smiled towards Tsuna who paled at the one object that he hated the most in the world in the man's hand and raised it towards his head, "A bullet is more than efficient to make someone squeal."

"I TAKE THAT BACK! THIS MAN IS EXACTLY LIKE HIBARI… NO KYOYA! Kami-sama, can't you give me a break from my life and death mission for at least a few days?" the brunette cried inwardly, recollecting himself and maintain an outwardly calmness, as the safety hatch lifted from the metallic object. "All I wanted was to talk to him since he is protecting Namimori," Tsuna replied looking at them coolly, the man's eyes narrowed, making him quickly added a story in order for it to be believable, though it was sort of the truth if it was in his 'own' time, "a-and thank him for protecting some of my friends."

"Hmmm~" they started a staring contest but were interrupted.

"Fuu~ I was wondering why you didn't open the door Erie. You were entertaining a guest," a familiar voice echoed through the brunettes ere. He twirled around to see the familiar figure of the Storm Arcobaleno.

"Fon, what are you doing here?" Tsuna thought at the same time that the father, Erie, said it. The brunette blinked, remembering that he was in the past, and looked back and forth from the Storm Arcobaleno to the man.

"Is that any way to treat your older brother, Erie? I came to stop by and see how my dear little brother's family is doing that's all," he smiled as the other just scowled even further, creeping out the bound teen even more, but it sank to the under layer of the dumbfounded expression on his face as the comment processed through his brain.

"Th-they are brothers…? Then they are related, making… KYOYA AS FON'S NEPHEW?" he yelled mentally still staring like an idiot. Fon looked down at the brunette annalistically, "Sure I saw the similarities in how they looked, but still! Kyoya didn't tell me anything when we un-cursed the Arcobaleno's! Actually…" he thought through the events, "he was never around when Fon is presence at all. Now everything makes sense. It also explains the increasing annoyance-level whenever he comes by my office for a mission before he comes."

He blinked when he finally felt the Martial artist staring at him causing sirens to go off in his head and beads of sweat going down his face. "D-Did he hear everything?" Tsuna thought frantically in hopes of it being not true. Unfortunately for him, his praying was shot down as a smirk of amusement was tugging at the martial artists face, "Yes he did. Dammit."

"So Erie, what is this kid charged for, for you to brandish your weapon," he asked looking at his brother letting Tsuna relax from the gaze.

"He has been following Kyoya and trespassing on our property," Erie simply said holding the loaded weapon to the forehead.

"This kid didn't harm him did he?"

"No."

"Then he can go," with that he was already behind Tsuna and un-cuffing him with the keys he got from his brother's possession. The brother's expression went sour but he didn't retort as he lowered the gun, putting it in safety-mode, and back in its hoister.

Tsuna rubbed his wrists to relieve the soreness from being chained down. "Thanks F… uhh s-sir," catching his mistake of almost calling the future Storm Arcobaleno's name.

"Fon is fine, Tsuna-kun," he chuckled when his eyes widened at the response, "I saw Reborn on the way here; hidden on the rooftop I must add. I was just behind him when I saw you going into the house and him scribbling into his notebook. I only caught a glimpse of your name with a photo on the page before he noticed me."

"I knew it," no longer holding back the tears as he mentally depicted on what the Sun Arcobaleno had written that was (or will be) on his training list.

"This boy knows Reborn-san?" Hazumi said, with the kunai's hidden completely from view, standing tall and formally from the spot, "That's a first I've heard of him being interested in a prey."

"Okaa-san," a child's voice called out from the entrance to the garden area. Everyone looked over to a small Kyoya looking slightly more innocent than his teen and adult self… however there was some fierceness that was beginning to glow underneath it as he stared back at Tsuna which made him flinch. Fon smirked and looked over to his brother who only nodded in response to their silent conversation unknown to the young boss.

"What's wrong Kyo-chan?" Hazumi said in a motherly fashion, dropping all of the fierceness that was there earlier, with a smile on her face as she stood next to him.

Little Kyoya looked up at his mother, "Can we do our sparing yet?"

"Not y-"

"Of course you can!" Erie said cutting into Hazumi's sentence as he patted the surprised Tsuna on the shoulder, "And this young man has volunteered to be your sparring partner."

"EHH!" the said sparring partner swung around to look at the father of the carnivorous skylark, "Y-your joking right? I-I can't do that!"

"Oh and why not?" he asked back with a devious grin mirroring the brother with Chinese clothing.

"He-he's just a kid… I can't fight a kid…" Tsuna was faltering and he knew it, stepping back, "Yeah, a kid that will become a carnivorous Guardian and bite-me-to-death at every moment I try to relax. And I have a feeling that if I spare with him now it will never be the end of it."

"You just said that he protected your friends, so you know that he is strong. I doubt you have no fighting experiences if you could follow his movements that easily."

"Well… yeah but… (That's because of the experiences in the 'future'.)"

"Then there is no problem," he said not listing to the sentence as he turned towards his son, "Go all out on him son."

"What! Wait a-" Tsuna didn't even finish as his body ducked just in time for a tonfa to pass over his head. Wide brown eyes met the familiar narrowing steely ones on the little boy holding the same tonfas his older-self had. Without another second Kyoya lunged forward with such speed that Tsuna couldn't dodge. Instead he blocked it with his hands instantly feeling the hard impact of the steel hitting his ungloved hands. Though it hurt he couldn't exactly stop and think of the pain as a barrage of attacks started aiming at every vital point on his body.

"And because of his size he has an advantage in speed. However…" he again dodged eying the heavy breathing that the boy was taking on every landing and the attacks were becoming slower.

Finally, after ten minutes of continuous onslaughts of attacking Tsuna and not getting a single hit in the boy stood on wobbling legs glaring mercilessly breathless with perspiration going down his face.

Though the knelt-down was a win for him it was empty. After all he was going against an inexperienced kid. Maybe he was just too used to the fact that the one person who seemed to have brought a fulltime military artillery behind his hits and rumored to have been trained since he started walking… okay maybe that was true… but for him to be this weak to be on his knees in a mere few minutes? That was just not like the Hibari Kyoya he knew.

The difference in strength and stamina between the child and his older self (in which Tsuna had battled many times, and most were due to breaking up a death match between the male half of his Mist and bloodthirsty Cloud Guardian) was easily noticeable.

"Fight me for real, you herbivore!" the said child skylark yelled as he charged again only for it to be dodged and him landing facing away from the adults. At first Tsuna thought he was going to finally give up, until the killing intent intensified from the small form.

"Hmm~ it seems like the final knot was untied," Erie commented from the sidelines.

"Fuu~ the kid's good to be able to anger Kyoya like this," a ghost of a smile appeared on Fon's face.

"Wish you well kid," Erie smiled at Tsuna who was looking back and forth in disbelief.

"Hopefully the reconstruction bills will not be as heavy as last time," Hazumi sighed pulling out an abacus.

The brunette uneasily gazed at the growing dark aura emitting from Kyoya and he gulped remembering one important factor on why he didn't want to fight him. His ring and gloves were left at home.

"If you don't fight seriously old man," Tsuna's eyebrow twitched, "I'm going to bite you to death for being worthless," and the boy charged forward not realizing what he had done.

~A few blocks down~

Reborn whistled long and low on what he saw next. His writing hand moving fast across the quickly filling pages of his notebook and the other holding up the Leon-binoculars watching on what happens next. The 'old man' comment had pulled the pin off of the grenade, namely Tsuna, and had quickly moved hands at blinding speed on the kid's tonfas then relentlessly threw him to the other side of the room with a hard thud.

The parents smirk could be seen as they hovered over their child who was unmoving.

"That Tsuna-boy really is strong," a familiar voice erupted from the unsurprised hitman.

"Well he is the future student of mine. But to get angry because of such a stupid thing…" Reborn sighed dropping his binocular arm and looked over towards the red-clad martial artist as he closed the notebook, "Anyways satisfied in seeing your nephew lose?"

"It was a necessary thing for him. Both Erie and Hazumi knew if Kyoya didn't lose at least once, he won't become stronger in the future," Fon sat next to him smiling similarly to the two parents, "It would be unbecoming of a descendent of Primo's Cloud Guardian to see such weakness if one doesn't know the meaning of losing once in a while. This will teach him that training will do no good if he had no goals."

Reborn chuckled at the ploy of the Martial Artist before going back to sightseeing the household. Even from far away, they could see the apologizing Tsuna rushing out of the area and Kyoya, still stunned on his back looking up at the ceiling with the two parents sighed, leaving him there. It didn't even take a minute before emotion went back into the child's face.

"Well I'll be taking my leave," the hitman said brushing off the dust from his suit, "I still have a few more hours before I go back to Italy."

"Why the sudden rush?" Fon asked curiously.

"Have some business to take care of before the meeting of the Arcobaleno. I just feel like something isn't going to be good after it so I'm just being prepared."

"Being precautious are you," the other chuckled in an understanding way, "You have a point though. I'll follow your example." He looked over towards the Hibari household, "I also feel something ominous is going to occur."

"Chaos is what you mean, and something that I know the best of."

The martial artist nodded, "Well, I will see you at the meeting." And he disappeared in a flash, letting Reborn to go off towards the direction Tsuna was heading towards.
