Welp... here is the new chapter, hope you like it and tell me what you think. :D


Chapter 25

~Sawada Tsunayoshi~

"Why do I have to go to school today of all days? I've been missing school until yesterday after all…" Tsuna sighed, pulling on his shoes, ready to go to school.

"A junior high school student is expected to go to school, you know" Reborn scoffed. He was perched on top of the shoe shelves and I-Pin was right next to him.

Tsuna clicked his tongue and muttered, "Like you can talk…"

"Have a good day!" Nana waved from the doorway.

"I'm off…" Tsuna called back, already jogging to make it to school on time.

"Hn?" Nana gasped in surprise.

"Whats wrong, maman?" Bianchi asked.

"Don't you think… he's starting to resemble his dad?"

"Papan…? How so…?"

"Not at all…" Fuuta added.

*"… ni wei shen me lian hong de?" I-Pin asked …


"That's right… Reborn… where's Sky?" Tsuna asked.

Reborn was walking alongside the wall and glanced at Tsuna before raising an eyebrow, "You mean you haven't seen her since last night?"

"Should I have?"

"Saa…"

Tsuna and Reborn walked the rest of the way in silence. When they got closer to the school, Tsuna jumped in surprise, "Why is the campus all… fixed?"

"It's an illusion… look outside the fence," Reborn pointed to a man, leaning on the fence, reading a newspaper, "He's one of the cervello's illusionists. They create an illusion over the parts of the school that they couldn't fix in time."

"That's…"

"OHO! It's the useless good for nothing no good Tsuna~"

"Have you been playing hooky for the whole week?" the raven haired one slapped Tsuna on the back.

"While we had to live through our cruel school life and all." the bald chubby one slung an arm around Tsuna.

"You're lucky~ you have such an easy life~" the raven chimed.

"Sorry, excuse me for a bit" Tsuna grimaced and ran away.

"What's up with him?" the raven asked.

""He hasn't grown up a single bit…" the bald one shrugged cheerfully and sighed.


~Tsutsumiya Sky~

I jumped down from the tree I was hiding in when Tsuna ran away, taking Reborn with him. I have got to stop hiding in trees!

"Oi Baldy, Ugly, making trouble for a friend of mine?" I called out.

The two idiots turned around, leering at each other before turning a flirtatious (?) smile on me; obviously they are not bringing sexy back.

"What's a pretty girl like you playing friends with useless good for nothing no good Tsuna?" the raven slurred.

"Nickname are supposed to be shorter than the actual name… with that you might as well set the record for the dumbest people in Namimori." I rolled my eyes.

"What did you say?!" Both of them bristled and puffed up like cats… angry, angry cats… but I like cats so let's make them… raccoons, or maybe skunks…

One, two… kiss my shoe…

"Let's teach that girl a lesson…"

Three, four… you're knocking on death's door…

"Show her just who she's dealing with!"

Five, six… Lend me a stick…

"Oriyahh!"

Seven, eight… you're definitely overweight…

Nine, ten… this is the end…

I smirked and I'm pretty sure… all hell came a calling.


~Sawada Tsunayoshi~

Tsuna stood at the rooftop, just gazing past the fence, thinking of what happened just the night before…

Nono… that time, it seemed like he passed something to me… and Sky… what's she doing now?

"Good Morning, Tsuna-kun!" a cheery voice shouted from behind him.

Tsuna started and turned around, only to smile, "Kyoko-chan! Good morning."

"…Ah, Reborn – kun said you were here."

"That guy did?"

Kyoko stared at Tsuna for a bit longer before bursting into giggles, "It's true! Just like what Reborn – kun said. Tsuna – kun's face today looks like a bullet train!"

"EEEHHH!? BULLET TRAIN!?" Tsuna squealed, already cheered up quite a bit.

"Ah, before I forget," Kyoko mused and reached into her pocket and pulled out a blue charm with a guppy fish on it, "This is for you…"

"A charm?" A moment passed before the thought actually sunk in and Tsuna immediately screeched out loud, "Wait- EHHHH!? This is for me!?"

"Yup," Kyoko nodded nonchalantly, "Lately, lots of people are getting injured at the sumo tournament, right? So, this is for safety and protection! And, for victory too!"

Ahaha~ Tsuna sweat dropped, Kyoko – chan still thinks it's a sumo tournament…!

"Thank you!" Tsuna muttered, turning red but managed to keep from stuttering. "For the next fight… there's no way I'm going to lose." And Tsuna smiled in a confident sort of way that managed to stun Kyoko for a few moments.

"Eh… Ah… Erm…"kyoko murmured trying to figure out just what she was going to say next. "Ah! That's right! I have one each for Gokudera-kun and Yamamoto-kun too." Kyoko smiled, oblivious to Tsuna's deadpan.

"What, it's not just for me-!?"

Tsuna sobered when he heard a slight tinkling of laughter from above the rooftop door. He couldn't help but feel that someone was there… but he wasn't getting any bad feelings so maybe it was Reborn… but Reborn wouldn't giggle… would he?

"Furthermore, these charms were made by all of us." Kyoko added.

"Eh? All of you…?"

Thundering footsteps sounded as a bubbly, cheery girl bounded from the rooftop door.

"Tsuna-san!"

"Haru!?" Tsuna sweat dropped, "Why are you here!?" And why are you wearing Namimori's school uniform?!

"Since today is a half day at my school, I decided to sneak in to help distribute the charms!" Haru stated, proudly, like this was the start of her life as a teenage spy.

"… what, s-sneak in?! That's Nami High's uniform!" Tsuna sweat dropped.

"Hehehe~" Haru giggled, almost embarrassedly, "Bianchi-san made it for me."

"Eh?"

"That's nothing compared to killing people." Bianchi walked through the rooftop door… also wearing Nami High's uniform, with I-Pin on her shoulders… also wearing Nami High's uniform and Fuuta walking next to her… also wearing Nami High's uniform…

"Tsuna-nii!"

"You guys too~~~!" Tsuna's eyeballs jumped out of their sockets. "What's going to happen if you're found out!?"

"We'll deal with it when it happens," Bianchi said nonchalantly.

"What are you saying~ This is troublesome!" Tsuna shouted, "In the first place, Bianchi looks nothing like a Junior High student!"

"Exactly what do you mean by that?" Bianchi glared.

"HIIEE~"

"You're dead meat"

"WAHH~!"


A little of to the side, Reborn sat there, watching Tsuna and the other girls. Smirking and tugging his sunhat a bit over his eyes he spoke, "You sure you don't want to join them, you've been following Tsuna for a while unless this is just a new hobby."

Next to Reborn, another figure stepped out from the shadows and scoffed, "Please… if I wanted to start stalking, I'd start with someone more interesting and boast worthy, like that Bieber kid in America. Do you know how much I'll get paid just to embarrass him in public?"

"Can't be a lot… if it was Marmon would have done the job by now," Reborn smirked.

"Who says he hasn't?" Sky raised an eyebrow and stared pointedly at Reborn, "Throwing up on stage, getting hit by a water bottle, walking right into a door when there should be none… sounds like Marmon's thing to me."

Reborn tugged his sunhat further over his eyes and smirked, "So why are you here?"

Sky shrugged nonchalantly but Reborn could tell that it bothered her, "Didn't know if I should actually see him after everything that happened last night…"

Reborn stopped smirking, "What are you going to do?"

Shrugging, Sky replied, "What can I do?"

"What do you want to do?"

"What I want to do?"

"Don't answer my questions with a question."

"Then don't answer mine with one… but, it's pretty nice."

"Hn?"

"The world Tsuna created for himself. I would have never pictured that Ranking Prince Fuuta would be living a pursuit free life or that the Poison Scorpion would blend in so naturally with normal junior high girls. Tsuna has to win this battle… since this is what he has to come back to…" Sky mumbled, watching that group with a longing expression in her eyes. Whipping her hair around, she turned and was about to jump off of the roof when Reborn asked,

"Where are you going?

"The hospital Dino set up," Sky replied vaguely. It wasn't until Reborn raised an eyebrow that she elaborated, "I feel sleepy and I don't want to go back to my place and I have a feeling that it'll be more amusing if I bother Dino instead of worrying about what might or might not happen."

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small bag, "Give that to Tsuna later."

"What is it?"

"…Charm," Sky raised an eyebrow and smirked, "It'll give him a shock, when he's down for the count, to get him moving again."

With that, she jumped off of the railing and landed on the ground with a catlike grace. After she finished stretching her limbs, Sky proceeded to walk out through the front gate… after giving Hibari a glare and a curt nod but while nothing noteworthy and worthwhile happened, the glares they exchanged spoke volumes about what would happen if they got on each other's nerves.


"He regained consciousness once around noon and was annoying as ever, apparently. But he still needs some peace and quiet," Reborn told Tsuna.

"That's great… Lambo" Tsuna smiled wearily at Lambo's sleeping figure on the hospital bed. "Erm… about the ninth boss…"

"He's not here," Reborn stated.

"Then, he… must be…" Tsuna paled.

"No dame Tsuna, he's not dead yet. Dino has moved him to a place with the best facilities – that's our last hope."

"…"

"Anyway, a new weapon is ready for you," Reborn said, he hopped off of the stool and gestured to the metal suitcase that was on the other side of the room.

"N-new weapon?" Tsuna gulped, already images were filling his head. Images of a bazooka that'll blow Xanxus up in one hit, or maybe even a magical charm that'll turn back time and turn this all into a wonderful and scary nightmare. Maybe this was all just a dream, meeting Sky was a dream, Xanxus never tried to kill him… maybe Reborn was just a dream too… but if Reborn is just a figment of his imagination then are all of his friends illusions as well…

"Stop thinking too much," a feminine voice called from above him. Tsuna slowly turned his head upwards and was beyond confused when he saw nothing. "Stand back."

Alarmed, Tsuna took a few steps backwards, definitely not liking the smirk on Reborn's face. With a loud clang, a pane of the ceiling fell and Sky came jumping in with a battered looking Dino dragged behind her.

"Yo," she nodded to Tsuna, "Reborn…"

"Reborn! Help me!" Dino rasped, the neckline of his shirt was digging into his neck, cutting off his air supply.

"What happened?" Reborn asked.

"She's being crazy! She's going to kill me!" Dino screamed, clawing at the ground.

Sky scoffed, "Please~ I'm only trying to get him to take me to where Nono's at. He tried to run away and somehow things turned out like this," Sky glared at Dino.

"Thought you were tired and wanted to sleep?" Reborn asked.

"I did… but I wanted to see if Nono's fine first and the results are… no sleep, no sight of Nono and very soon there is going to be a very dead Dino," Sky growled.

"Then, see you later," Reborn called out.

Sky glanced at Dino and shrugged, "Maybe." At that point, Dino was doing everything he could to get out of her grasp… but it was all a futile effort.

Sighing, "Come on, let's go find your patient." Sky kept a death grip on Dino's neck and dragged him out of the room, "Tsuna and Reborn have much more important things to worry about than whether or not you'll live through my fury."

Watching Dino being dragged away and ignoring his crying pleas, Tsuna assumed his deadpan expression and Reborn had on the same blank poker face that showed no interest whatsoever.

"You sure we shouldn't help him…" Tsuna asked quietly, almost afraid that if Dino heard… he would have gotten his hopes up for nothing.

"You don't have to worry, Sky won't kill him… probably," Reborn shrugged.

"Probably?!" Tsuna shrieked.

"Anyway, it's a battle mafia suit," Reborn continued, as if Sky and Dino hadn't even dropped in for a visit.

"Eh?"

"It's specially woven using fibers that are spun inside of Leon's body. It can even withstand the heat of the dying will flame," Reborn informed.

"Wait, if it's a mafia suit… then won't I look like the MAFIA?!" Tsuna panicked, opening the suitcase.

"Don't worry; it looks the same as your Nami High uniform. My suit is made of the same material, as well," Reborn assured.

"Ah," Tsuna sighed a breath of relief.

"Look. Leon is completely exhausted from making this for you." Reborn pointed to Leon's still body on his sunhat.

"Th-thank you, Leon" Tsuna grinned slightly.

"He made you a bonus, too."

"Bonus…?"

"Oh yeah, Sky told you to wear this…" Reborn handed over a small bag.

"What's this?" Tsuna turned over the bag and a small mandarin orange stone, already attached to a thin chain, fell out.

"Sky says she'll give that to you."

"What… is it?"

"Don't know… but she always gave us one when we went on missions…" Reborn trailed off.

"Us?"

"It'll help you in some way or another…"

"Eh?"

"Well, once you've put these on, we'll have to get going to the final battle of the Ring contest."

"Yeah…" Tsuna muttered.


My gosh... Tsuna's epic battle will be next and I cant wait to write it! Maybe... it's hard describing their fighting scenes but I'll do my best!
