An hour passes and the groups were playing with cards and board games or excitedly conversing about the trip they were taking. A bit of movement catches Nagisa's eye, and he turns to see Tsunayoshi rubbing at his eyes. The brunette, with confused and bleary eyes, casts his view around the train, slowly remembering where he was.
He mumbles softly, "Oh, yeah... the trip."
He yawns, bringing a hand to his mouth to cover it, and stretches, slightly resembling a cat lethargically arising from a long snooze. Apparently, Nagisa wasn't the only one who thought so, as Kayano quickly comments, giggling, "Tsuna-kun, you look just like a cat."
Tsuna jumps, not expecting to hear someone's voice, and once he realizes what Kayano had said, a small blush erupts on his cheeks. "U-um..." He weakly shrugs, not knowing what to say.
"You made him embarrassed," Karma snickers, looking down at hiscards. "And over a simple comment at that. You so easy to mess with, Tsuna-kun."
Tsuna becomes sheepish, humorlessly huffing a laugh and running a hand through disheveled locks.
Sugino leans forward, so he could see Tsuna from his spot by the window, and asks, "Hey, you wanna play? We can deal you in."
He waves the box that the cards came in around in the air, showing the other male what they were playing. In big yellow letters, the box read "UNO."
"I've never played," Tsuna admits.
"I'm sure we could teach you, Tsuna-kun," Kanzaki smiles.
Kayano nods enthusiastically, "Yeah! It's not too hard of a game to understand!"
"Okay..." Tsuna moves to the seat closer to the table so he could reach easier. He takes the hand of cards that were dealt out for him, taking in the numbers and colors. Kayano and Sugino quickly explain how to play, Nagisa and Kanzaki cutting in at different points when their words got jumbled and confusing. After Tsuna mostly understands all of the rules, the game is continued.*
Karma places down a yellow four on top of another yellow card, leaving him with two cards now as Nagisa takes his turn. He plays a yellow card of his own, and Sugino does the same with a three. Okuda changes the color to a blue with another three. Karma jumps in with a smug "Uno," playing a blue three of his own with a smirk, while Kayano groans and looks down at her cards.
"Does anyone have anything to keep him from winning?"
Nagisa shakes his head as he puts down a blue five, "I don't have anything. This hand isn't exactly the best..."
"We could stack, if..." Sugino looks up at the girls and to Tsuna, hesitantly fingering the edge of a card.
"I have a plus-two, but..." Okuda comments shyly, "we don't know his card."
Kayano whines, "She's right! Knowing Karma-kun, he'd always have a plan to win!"
Karma chuckles, "I'm right here, y'know."
"Maybe we could keep him from playing, wi-with a reverse?" Tsuna supplies softly, not completely sure of the game yet.
"Do you have one you can play, Tsuna-kun? If not, I do," Kanzaki asks, to which Tsuna nods.
Kayano cheers, eyes shining, "Nice idea, Tsuna-kun!"
Sugino plays a normal card, and the process repeats until it is Tsuna's turn. He pulls blue reverse out of his fanned cards and puts it on the stack of played cards.
"Okay, we should probably change the color now. What color do you think he has?"
"I'm not sure. He had to draw a few when it was green."
"You're all conspiring against me," Karma presses a hand to his chest, faking a hurt tone. "Is this even allowed?"
"Shush, Karma-kun!" Kayano quiets the red-head, grinning. "We're trying to win."
"This is definitely not allowed."
Each student plays a card from his or her hand, all until Nagisa.
"I have a wild but what color...?"
Sugino hesitantly suggests, "Green?"
"He might've gotten a green card at some point," Kayano points out, glaring at Karma's single card.
Karma chuckles, "The potential turning point."
"May-maybe we should try yellow again?" Okuda shyly explains, "He easily went with the last color change..."
"It seems that he either had two yellow cards or two blue cards when he had three," Kanzaki ponders aloud. "Perhaps we should go with red or green?"
"I'd go with green," Tsuna abruptly cuts it before cowering under his classmates' gaze. "Re-red is kinda his ca-calling card, if-if that makes sense!"
Sugino hums, "Hm, that does kinda make sense. Red's just his color-his hair and everything."
Nagisa places the wild card on the stack of played cards, "Then, I guess, I say green."
Everyone looks at the quiet devil anxiously, seconds going by in suspense. Then, Karma starts chuckling.
"It seems I've been figured out."
Sighs of relief escape mouths.
Sugino laughs, starting a chant, "Draw cards!"
Kayano joins in excitedly, seeming to be bouncing in her seat, while Okuda quiet chants.
"Good going, Tsuna-kun," Nagisa smiles at Tsuna, to which the brunette reciprocates
"I'm just glad I was right."

Notes:
* So I'm basing this off how my older brother, his girlfriend, my younger brother, and I play. It's probably a bit different than how you may play, but I'd say it's just as fun. Sorry if anything I put bothers you; I just wanted a small bit for Tsuna to bond with the others. The order, going right, is Karma, Nagisa, Sugino, Okuda, Kayano, Kanzaki, and Tsuna.
Happy Valentines Day! I hope you have a great Valentine's Day, and if you don't have a significant other, have a happy Single's Awareness Day (15th)!
On to the questions!
From AO3:
Do Tsuna and Ieyasu get along?
As shown in the prologue, Ieyasu has shown that he cares for Tsuna, and so does Tsuna. It's just that Tsuna was really hurt when he overheard the others so he was sightly angry at Ieyasu (he doesn't know that Ieyasu didn't mean to "take" his guardians; he's become distrustful of anyone beside Reborn and most of the characters from AssClass.
Are G, Asari, and Giotto's other guardians around?
Gonna be honest, I'm terrible at planning and I just do without thinking. As of now, as I'm answering this, I do not plan having Giotto's guardians around.
Will Tsuna ever learn how to swim?
I imagine that he will (somewhat at least) during the pool scene, around "Terasaka's Time".
How will Reborn take Tsuna's rope burns around his wrists?
You will have to find out in the next chapter!
How will Tsuna's old guardians react to meeting Tsuna's new guardians?
While I have thought about this, I have no definitive answer. I'm honestly terrible at writing fanfiction because I don't plan out the important parts; I just write and hope for the best (rip). I imagine that they will feel regretful, as they do in the interludes, but will understand that it was due to their behavior and how they treated him.
From :
Who are going to be the new guardians of Tsuna?
I have pondered over this question, and I have a list of potential characters to use, but I don't have a set answer.
Will he recover his Vongola ring? Will he make his own organization to protect the civilians like Giotto? Will he finally use his Hyper mode at will?
So, as I said, I haven't planned this out as good as I should have. So the only answer I have for you is "We'll see!" Sorry if you're disappointed.
Will Tsuna recover completely his resolution?
Yes, as he grows in the story (hopefully I can portray his growth well in the story), he will realize what he fights to protect.
Are we going to see Tsuna bonds with the students from Class E grow?
If portrayed properly, you should.
Will there be romance for Tsuna?
There will not be a full-on relationship in the story, only hints.
Are all of Tsuna's guardians going to be coming out of Class E or are some going to be making appearances from KHR as well?
I can tell you that not all Tsuna's guardians are going to come from Class E but not all are going to come from KHR either. I have a plan, and it'd be pretty obvious if I posted a certain interlude, but that will have to wait to be discovered.
Why does this story take a long time to update?
I apologize for my slow updating, I'm just a terrible writer who can properly schedule out when to write. I just write until I finish a chapter and I try to make it monthly. Please be patient with me!
Will Class E find out about Tsuna's mafia connections? If so, then when and will anyone be joining his Family? Who will be his guardians?
Class E will most likely find out about Tsuna's connections, I just haven't decided when exactly. As I said earlier, I do not know who will be his new guardians, but I'm sure some will be coming from AssClass.
What flame types does Class E have?
Hmmm, that's a good question! I'm not gonna do a list (mostly because I'm short on time-it's 11:38 pm at the moment, I have school tomorrow, and I have homework to do aaaaahhh, I'm sorry!), but it's certainly something to think about, especially because of the whole future guardians things.
From Wattpad:
Will Tsuna use his flames in the future?
Most likely.
Will Karma discover Tsuna's history?
Most likely.
What is keeping Reborn busy?
You'll see ;). Joking-I have planned to keep Reborn busy with Vongola and persuade why Tsuna needs new guardians.
Why would Reborn make Lambo be Tsuna's friend when it meant that he had to put up with him?
He was genuinely attempting to get powerful guardians for Tsuna, but there has to be a strong bond among a Family. Lambo is, in fact, still a child, so he takes things for granted (which you will be introduced more when I write and post his interlude). By the time he realized there wasn't a connection, Lambo was already implemented into the Sawada household.
Will Reborn ever show up to the school one day and follow Tsuna around?
For sure, I have two potential chapters/episodes of when, I just need to decide.
Will there be romance between Reborn and Tsuna?
No, as I said before, I only want the relationship between the two characters to be one of father and child.
Will this be rewritten or is it being abandoned?
Lol, do I not post enough to make this seem abandoned? There will most likely be chapters that I want to rewrite, but I'm not sure that I will rewrite the whole fanfic. I do not plan on abandoning this fanfic as of now.
What does Reborn think of Tsuna?
We had a little insight of what Reborn thinks of Tsuna during his apology, but to go into more detail, he sees Tsuna as a light in the dark world known as the mafia. He believes that there will be changes, good or bad, within mafia due to this, and will continue to be by his side to advise him. He sees Tsuna like a son almost, as he helps his grow as a person and as a mafia boss.
Will Tsuna develop romantic feelings/relationships with any of the characters?
As I said before, there will be no obvious relationship between Tsuna and another character, only hints. It seems none of you asked the right question: who will Tsuna end up with lol. I'll give you all a freebie.
Due to popular demand, in A New Change, there will be hints of Kar27/Karma X Tsuna within. It will be an interesting relationship (mostly a friendship) to go into, especially with the different personalities.
Is there ever a chance for a rewrite of this story?
Yes, of course.
What are Tsuna's guardian and co. doing?
Hmmm, I wonder...
How will the AssClass characters act when they find out Tsuna's history?
The will probably act pretty surprised and maybe a little scared at first. I mean, look at Tsuna; how could he be the head of the strongest mafia syndicate? We all know that you can never judge a person by their appearance. In the end, they will most likely accept Tsuna, because they all have their own faults that they can't help.
How will Tsuna act when the AssClass characters find out about his history?
Tsuna will probably act protective and reluctant to explain. He doesn't want people, civilians in particular, to be caught up in a dark world that they can never truly escape from.
Will any assassins/hitmen attempt to kill Tsuna?
I didn't really think about that lol. We'll see!
How will the Asano Gakuho react if he finds out?
He would probably attempt to blackmail him (maybe), I'm not sure lol.
Is there going to be a situation where Tsuna will have to team up wit his former family to save the AC or vice versa?
I've thought about the former guardians coming into the story again, and they most likely will. I've thought about them coming into play around the end, when Korosensei is stuck at the old school building and stuff. We'll see!
Is Tsuna really going to forgive his former guardians for what they've done?
I believe that Tsuna is pretty understanding and accepting. However, if you were hurt by those who you considered to be close friends, you wouldn't be quick to forgive them. Tsuna will most likely understand that they didn't truly want to be his friends, but it will take time and effort for him to forgive them, and even then, he wouldn't forget.
Will Tsuna tell Class E what happened?
It will most likely come up in the future.
Will Sawada Nana visit Tsuna?
I do not believe she will.
Does Tsuna want to see his twin again?
At the moment, Tsuna probably doesn't want to see anyone from Namimori, including his brother.
What is my (author) favorite food?
So kind to think of me! My favorite food is spaghetti, thank you for asking!
For the big question:
Is Tsuna still the Decimo candidate? If so, why is it not the "better" twin?
Tsuna is indeed still the Decimo candidate. Unlike a lot of the other twin fics, I decided to go with a sacrificial twist of some sort. In my fic, Iemitsu didn't want the twin, Ieyasu, to be involved with the mafia (probably why he had Timoteo seal Tsuna and why he stayed away from his family most of the time and only visited them a few times in total in the series), so he selfishly pushed the suggestion of Tsuna being the main candidate while Ieyasu is a fall-back in case Tsuna perishes.
Iemitsu didn't want Ieyasu to have a ruined chance of having a great life because of how smart, handsome, amazing, blah, blah, blah he is, while Tsuna, in his eyes, is useless, dumb, blah, blah, blah and doesn't have that same chance as Ieyasu.
This is why Ieyasu isn't the main candidate. Hopefully it makes sense, and if it doesn't, feel free to ask questions!
Anyway, don't be surprised if there isn't another update this month; I've been busy with school and I have some choir stuff coming up. I'm so sorry if that's the case! Have a great day!
