A/N: I would just like to say that the little love triangle I made in the last chapter will probably not come up again. Whether this makes you happy or angry, I don't know, but that's how it is.

"Hey Hibari, what do you want?" Tsuna didn't even bother with a stutter. He'd lost two, maybe three guardians to Ieyasu. If Ieyasu got a hold of Hibari, even slightly… Tsuna didn't want to think about.

"The bell rang herbivore; if you don't get inside I will bite you to death." Hibari brought out his tonfas. Tsuna simply smiled.

"Make me." Hibari ran at him and tried to hit Tsuna, but Tsuna simply ducked slightly out of the way. They continued on like this for some time. Tsuna grinned the entire time, swiftly dodging. He had Reborn to thank for this. In his world, he had been trained to be fast enough to dodge bullets. Hibari kept getting more and more aggressive, until finally he stopped and put his tonfas away. Tsuna kept in a ready stance for a second, incase this was simply a pause. Hibari's eyes were gleaming.

"Get to class, omnivore. We'll settle this later." Tsuna grinned.

"Okay Hibari-san!" Tsuna happily ran inside, ignoring the looks he got as he returned to his seat. So far, it looked to be that Tsuna wouldn't be completely alone.

"Okay, so, try doing a hundred push-ups." Tsuna instructed Reru. Reru got onto the ground and was able to manage five or so very sad push-ups before his arms gave out. Tsuna gave a sigh and shook his head. How could this have been him? As a matter of fact, how did Reborn even manage to get him to where he was now?

"Hey, Reru?"

"Yes Tsuna-nii?"

"How do you get food and stuff here? I mean, you have a whole lot of just random foods."

"Ah, I j-just think of them, a-and they appear." Tsuna nodded, deep in thought. Closing his eyes, and thinking, he thought of what he needed. Around them, a large ledge broke out of the earth, causing Reru to jump back. Unfazed, Tsuna continued his thoughts, a gun appearing in his hands.

"Reru, go climb that ledge." Tsuna ordered. Reru did so, at least, he tried, but fell. When he did Tsuna lifted the gun in his hand and shot Reru in the forehead. For a moment the boy fell back eyes wide, before getting back up, a flame burning on his head.

"I will climb the ledge like it is my Dying Will!" Tsuna sat back and gave a chuckle. He could see why Reborn liked to do next day Tsuna skipped school, instead going into the forest and exercising. He hadn't done so it a while, and the feeling of really using his muscles was bliss. When he got home, however, he found a certain Chinese hitwoman running around his house, Ieyasu running from her. Smiling, Tsuna simply bent down and picked up the little girl.

"Hi there, what's your name? What are you doing with my twin?" Tsuna placed the girl on his shoulder.

"Ipin!" She answered in broken Japanese that only Tsuna and Reborn were able to decipher. She then pointed at Ieyasu. "Target!", one from the pit of his soul

Tsuna gave a laugh, one from the pit of his soul, the type that he hadn't given since he'd come here.

"I'm sorry for laughing, but my brother isn't important enough to be a target of any type." Tsuna ignored the look he was given from Ieyasu and walked over to where his mom kept her glasses. They had worked last time, hopefully the worked again. "You probably have bad eyesight or something, try these on."

Ipin held the glasses to her face and looked at Ieyasu, shocked.

"Not target!" Ipin cried in surprise. Tsuna gave a chuckle.

"No, he's not. But you could stay with us if you want before you continue that hitman game of yours." Tsuna offered, feeling another piece of the Vongola fitting into the puzzle. Ipin nodded. "And just wait until you meet Lambo…"

Tsuna came home from school one day to find men in black suits standing outside. Tsuna didn't pay them much mind, feeling comfortable to be back around mafia. Walking into his house, Tsuna went to the kitchen and poured himself some milk, starting up a conversation with Reru. A little while ago, they had found that Reru was able to talk to Tsuna in his head.

Reru, how do you feel being surrounded by men in black suits?

"I f-feel like they c-could k-kill me any s-second!"

Good, because they can. That's what they're trained to do. Welcome to you first breath of the mafia world.

Tsuna drunk the milk as he went up the stairs, going into Ieyasu's room, not bothering to knock. Inside he saw Reborn and Ieyasu sitting in front of Dino, who was smiling like usual.

"Ah, who's this?" Tsuna asked as he entered the room. Immediately Reborn and Dino looked at him, while Ieyasu simply grabbed a shoe and threw it at him. Instinctively, Dino got out his whip and used it to catch the shoe before it even hit Tsuna. The room froze for a second as Dino sat there, holding the shoe, looking from Tsuna, to Reborn, to his men outside, and then back to Tsuna. After a second, though, the thing that finally got rid of the awkwardness in the air was Enzio, who crept out of Dino's jacket and went over to Tsuna.

"Wow, that was cool, but I still don't have your name." Tsuna picked up Enzio and placed him on his head.

"Heh, sorry! My name is Dino Cavallone and I'm the boss of the Cavallone famiglia." Dino put out his hand to shake and Tsuna took it, making sure to hold it firmly as he had done many times when meeting with other bosses, showing that he was strong, serious, and knew exactly what he was doing. Of course, what he did next contradicted that.

"You must be playing that mafia game with Ieyasu and Yamamoto!" Tsuna gave a carefree grin, but his eyes still held the seriousness that his hand shake had had. Dino looked at him, confused, but then seemed to shake it off.

"Tsuna." Ieyasu glared at him. "Go. Now." Tsuna did he best to look hurt and turned to leave, Enzio jumping off his head. But not before Dino called after him.

"We'll talk later!"

Tsuna was in his room. It had been a few hours since what had happened, but finally his door opened and Dino came in, looking serious.

"Wow, I was surprised you were able to use you whip when you weren't around your men." Tsuna spoke, confidence in his voice. He knew that Dino knew (though he didn't show it) that he was worthless without his men around.

"I don't know. You felt like, like another mafia, like another man I have to protect with my life." Dino pulled the chair from the desk and sat down, facing him.

Dino's Pov

The kid was obviously more than he seemed, and the last comment proved it.

"How much do you know about the mafia? And don't the 'it's just a game' card again." Tsuna smiled at him.

"I can't tell you how I know, and what I do tell you, you can't tell anyone else." Dino nodded and Tsuna smiled. "I know that Reborn is working to make Ieyasu the Decimo of the Vongola, the strongest mafia family. Like you said, you are also a mafia boss of a family and your family is a close ally to the Vongola. Reborn is a famous hitman and one of the seven Arcobaleno, the others being Verde, Skull, Colonello, Mammon who is also called Viper, Fong, and Aria who has a child named Yuni. There are also seven Dying Will flames; red storm, orange sky, yellow sun, green lightning, blue rain, indigo mist, and purple cloud." Tsuna paused. "I can go on if you want."

"No, it's fine you've convinced me, but why do you hide all this?" Dino asked. He was a bit shocked at all Tsuna knew, but it just made him like the kid more, which was good since he didn't particularly like Ieyasu. Tsuna sighed at his question.

"I have my reasons. I can't reveal them yet, but when I do, I'll leave soon after."

*one week later (Tsuna POV)

Tsuna ran behind the bushes, looking for the ball that he had 'accidently' kicked out of play. Looking, he saw it drifting a few inches above the ground. Next to it stood a boy, a far off look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, the ball dropped back to the ground and the boy took out a large book and began writing down things. Tsuna smiled as he recognized Fuuta, he missed the kid.

"Hey, can you pass me that ball?" Tsuna called, walking up to Fuuta. Fuuta looked up and smiled.

"You must be Tsuna-nii!" Fuuta grinned and ran over to him, hugging his giant book to his chest. "I'm Fuuta! I've been calling you Tsuna-nii, can I keep calling you that? I've been really interested in you lately. I mean, you have two different records!" Before Fuuta could go on though, two men in suits appeared from around the corner.

"There he is!" One shouted and pointed at Fuuta. Fuuta began to shake and grabbed onto Tsuna's arm.

"One of your new ranks says you're really strong! Please help me!" Fuuta begged. Tsuna smiled. When the two men got close enough, Tsuna quickly dispatched them, hitting one in the stomach and the other in the face. Kicking the ball back into the field, Tsuna lifted Fuuta so he was piggy-back on him and ran home, leaving school early.

When they got home, Tsuna finally slowed down and snuck into his room, making sure not to alert his mom. Only when he got into his room did Tsuna finally put Fuuta down, who looked at him with wide eyes, a grin stretched across his face.

"Wow, Tsuna-nii, you can run really fast!" Tsuna smiled back at the kid.

"Yeah. I guess I need to explain why I have two records though…" Tsuna trailed off and looked at Fuuta, who just shook his head.

"No, it's okay. Your rank of most trustworthy mafia boss." Fuuta opened his book and showed Tsuna the page.

"I know that you're constantly moving around as you rank things and so that you don't get caught, but would you like to stay with us for a while?" Fuuta looked up happily.

"Yes, thank you!" Fuuta hugged Tsuna. Ieyasu may be the official heir to the mafia, but Tsuna had Fuuta and Dino on his side.

A/N: It's a bit longer than usual, so I hope your happy! Sorry Fuuta's part is so short, but I really wanted to post this! Reviews make the world go 'round! Please tell me if I've improved from the beginning of the story and if I should rewrite the first few chapters.
