This whole chapter is in Japanese, so bold will be the people on the other side of the phone.

Thank so much to my lovely reviewers!

Natsuyuuki: I have something special planned for the 10th Gen. You only need to wait for it. :D
Beasttamer99: Thats the point of it. In the future, where the advancement of stuff overshadows that of the past, the mafia has adapted a more sneaky style due to having to bypass those advancements.
Guest - Lumelabidas: Thank you! Its great that you like it so far. As for Tsuna, he doesn't know it but he is making up those childhood years he never had with friends. Sadly for the 1st Gen., since he has a mind of an older teen his playfulness turned a bit more mischievous than he would have as a normal kid that age. Plus, he has had Mukuro and Reborn in his life for a few years now. No one would expect to stay innocent with those two.

Chapter 6: The other two, not so little, Ripples

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT STUNT FOR, REBORN!?" Tsuna's yelling took Alaude off guard, stopping him in his tracks. Lal simply laughed, it having been a while since she last saw Tsuna so pissed off. The way he crouches as he groaned, messing up his semi-dry hair more than it naturally was, she and Colonnelo couldn't wait to start his tor-training.

"I won't be able to do much in this body of mine, even if I have my gear. What do you expect from me?!" Tsuna whined, throwing his hands up in exasperation. Subsequently, that earned him a smack from a ten-ton Leon Hammer. As he starts whining in pain now, he was picked up by Lal who frowns slightly at his weight. it was something to be concerned about. Reborn noticed her frown and lifts a brow in question. Lal sighs and motions to Tsuna, who had gone silent in deep though. She sets the brunette down, not bothered by Alaude snatching Tsuna up as she turns to the hitman. What she said next made Reborn rethink of sending Tsuna into the battles ahead of time.

"Tsuna is so underweight for the body of his size. Do you think we'll be able to afford sending him in like this?" She was right. It wouldn't have a positive outcome, nor was Tsuna going to have a chance to succeed. Besides, from the looks of it he'll need to deal with the first generation first before thinking of the battles. Their conversation had caught Giotto off guard. Since he didn't know their reasons, he thought they were being rash. He was slightly relieved that Alaude was moving closer to him with Tsuna. The French man had also finally realized their plans for Tsuna. Said brunette was mentally thanking Lal for bringing up that issue again. He really wanted to know why he was 7 again if he was meant to fight. Though, it seems he will have to wait for that answer as Reborn retracted into his mind to think. His thoughts were swiftly changed Giotto held him close, almost crushing him as he let out a meep of surprise. His eyes widened at not only Giotto's overprotective actions, but also his guardians crept closer around them as if to stop anyone from taking him. Reborn looks up and studied them with causal eyes, not at all bothered by the first generation's hostile implication. Though he smirks slightly as an idea came to mind.

"Dame-Tsuna. Do you think the other two would be in the same predicament as you?" Reborn asked Tsuna, amused when the brunette's eyes filled with worry. This was something he was sure the younger didn't want to hear from him. After all, if those two couldn't behave while mostly mature, what are the chance of them behaving as children?!

"Who are you guys are talking about?" Giotto asked softly going into boss mode as he felt he needed to be prepared for what was to come. Tsuna sighs softly, leaning into Giotto's hold and startling the blond. How was he to explain this to him? It seems he didn't need to think of it for the moment as Reborn's phone rang. The hitman quickly answered it once the device was out of his chest pocket and immediately began yelling at someone, no doubt it was Skull. Tsuna was proven right when he heard the squawk of the stuntman, but sighed soon after when Skull said the Cloud and Mist were fighting. He just held out his hand with another tired sigh, making for the phone. This made Giotto blink in curiosity, wondering who they were talking about. Reborn just grins and told Skull to put it on speaker near the fighting duo before passing the phone over to Tsuna. Tsuna places the phone near his ear, he didn't want to go deaf, and began biting on his nails. He could clearly hear the clashing of two weapons and some insults being thrown around.

"Pineapple, I'll bite you to death."

"Kufufuf, Skylark. I'll bury you six feet deep with sakura trees blooming over your grave."

"Uncle Pineapple."

"Baby Chick."

The arguing brought Giotto some unexpected amusement as he looked at his Cloud and Mist. Alaude had blinked and glanced at a flabbergasted Daemon. They definitely hadn't expected to hear something similar to their normal exchanges. In fact, they could only think of the other as the only ones to do that. Tsuna, however, had silently face-palmed. Of course it had to be those two! Tsuna sighed for the millionth time as he listened to the insults going back and forth for a little longer. Once he finally had enough, he intervened.

"Kyoya, Rokudo, mind telling me how you got to this era?" That instantly halted the fighting, allowing silence to reign over them. Giotto drew in closer, wanting to hear what the two on the other side will respond with. He wondered how Tsuna managed to stop their fighting, as the two seemed to be so into trying to kill each other. Tsuna had only called them by what he assumes to be their names. True enough, when Tsuna needed them to listen to him seriously and focus on his words he would call them by name, surname for Mukuro since he was already on first name basis with his male Mist. He only called them by those names on rare occasions, mostly to get their attention so that he could finally start those damned meetings with alliances. Tsuna, knowing how they usually responded to him calling them, began to count down. Giotto, for an uncountable time, wonders why he was mouthing out the numbers. He was completely confused about this, like most things concerning Tsuna tend to do, as Reborn simply makes his own espresso. He was humming to himself, knowing they would be able to hear the next words form the duo on the other side of the phone.

"Omnivore, where are you so I can bite you."

"Sawada Tsunayoshi. Kufufufu~ So you're in this time as well? Seems I will still be able to posses you."

"He's my prey, Pineapple."

"No, he's mine to posses, Little Bird."

"Mine or I'll bite you to death."

"Let's see if you could do that, Skylark!"

"Will you guys stop fighting and tell me how you got here first before you two continue to try and kill each other?" Tsuna snapped at them, making them go silent again. Reborn let out a dark snicker, enjoying Giotto's face that could only be described as pure denial and shock. Who wouldn't be like the blond when two men were arguing about who his son, even though they weren't really related by blood, belonged to? Lal sighed at the two's bickering while Colonnello grinned in amusement. Tsuna patiently waited for their answers, knowing the two were glaring at each other to see who spoke first. It was a common enough thing that Tsuna wasn't all that bothered by their silence. Though he was bothered by the staring first generation. They were most likely thinking about the dangers of his two guardians fighting without supervision. True enough, as much as Giotto's guardians were planning to punish Tsuna for pulling the hiding stunt on them, they were un-surprisingly worried about the two that Tsuna was talking to. If Daemon and Alaude were any indications, this could end in a very bad way.

Tsuna sighed, again, knowing he needed his own guardians that were stuck in this time with him under his watch. If not only to stop their fighting, he could actually plan easier with them since they were good strategists and attackers. He sometimes even lets them take over the battlefront together when their wishes are actually the same. They could surprisingly work extremely well with each other when they wanted to. But he needed to get them here first before he could let them loose on the planning. Mukuro was the first to start talking.

"Ah, that.. Ku-fufufufu. Well, Hibari and I bumped into each other earlier today and started going at each other in the middle of the shopping district.-"

"WHAT?"

"-Lambo came running with Gokudera after him, who had his dynamites ignited. Lambo brought out his bazooka, tripped, and the bazooka landing on us both. Oya, the Bazooka was also malfunctioning."

"Hnn. (That's about it. Now can we get back to fighting, herbivore?)"

"One thing."

"Hnn?(Yes?)"

"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO ME?! MAKING ME GO SIX FEET UNDER WITH PULLING STUNTS LIKE THAT IN PUBLIC? You're so going to do the paperwork that resulted from the fighting, both of you! And get your assess over here. Ask Skull since he knows where to go."

"Kufufu~ You're actually telling me to do those minions of hell?"

"Omnivore, you grew claws just now, but even that won't make me do the white abominations."

"Kyoya, Rokudo, you better be here soon or else." Tsuna said, merrily on his way to being livid with his own Mist and Cloud. Giotto, as surprise as he was with Tsuna's yelling, was more shocked that the brunette was doing paperwork at such a young age. Well, he still didn't know that Tsuna only looks younger than he really is. Reborn was chuckling, waving good bey to Lal as she began to leave to help out poor Skull with the two. The two had began to lightly protest against Tsuna, trying to distract him as they were wary of their Sky's anger. As rare as it was, Tsuna did get angry. It was very, very, rare. In fact, they were blessed with the fact that Tsuna was so full of kindness. If not, well, Hell sounded like paradise. Tsuna, fortunately, was very close to losing all patience when they finally gave in and managed to curve his attention the slightest bit. Tsuna was thankful, but still smiled darkly as his tone dripped with venom that indicated nothing good if they don't listen.

"If either of you are goofing around with this issue, I will personally come down there bring you back myself with Reborn on my side this time. You both know I don't take kindly when we are not within our own area. Hibari, Mukuro, I hope to see you soon!" Tsuna ended sweetly, shutting the phone hard enough that he nearly shattered it. Reborn snatched the phone back as Giotto frowned. He stood, holding Tsuna close to him as he gazed around at everyone. He suddenly felt tired and figured that they all needed a good night's rest.

"That's enough for today. You two can stay here for a night. We'll continue to discuss this after breakfast tomorrow. I don't know what exactly is going on around Tsuna, but let's put away our questions for now and get some rest. Maybe that'll help us get over this... Sudden turn of event." Giotto said to everyone. Tsuna yawns at the mention of sleep and, with bleary-eyes, nods. Reborn could tell how fast Tsuna was getting tired out and smirks dangerously. He was going to have fun with training him again.

"Night, night, dear little leone!~" Reborn drawled in a sadistic tone. Tsuna shivered at the nickname. The only times Reborn calls him that, a foreboding event usually happened right after. Damn, Tsuna was already busy trying to think up the answers for possible questions. Now he had to deal with Reborn as well. Kami-sama. Why are you torturing me?!

XxXxX

Meanwhile, with Hibari and Mukuro.

Both Cloud and Mist, who were in their mid-teens bodies, had shivers went down their spines. They knew that they had to behave to keep their boss happy for now. Tsuna wasn't the kind to snap like he did, but he was also right. They couldn't afford to do anything rashly in this era yet until they knew exactly what they were in.

"Let's get going or he'll hand us our ass."

"Hnn. (Lets go.)"
