"Who are you? I'm Lambo. Who am I? You're Lambo. Lambo, the nice bomber-head calf."
"What the hell are you doing here?" Gokudera asked in annoyance to Lambo who was walking on top of the stone hedge while following Tsuna and his friends to school.
"What do you mean? I was just passing by." Lambo stated.
"Is that what someone looks like when they just 'pass by'?" Tsuna asked while staring at the sniper gun and bazooka gun he was carrying.
"Those are some pretty amazing toys." Yamamoto said with a laugh.
'Somehow I'm not surprise he thinks they're just toys.' Kiyomi thought with a giggle.
"The guys in the Bovino Family in Italy sent this because I'm working so hard!" Lambo stated as he looked around the area while still walking. "Reborn, where are you?"
"Did you call me?" A voice called out, causing everyone to stop dead in their tracks. Everyone looked down at the ground to see a piece of cloth fluttered down to reveal Reborn.
"What the hell?!" Tsuna exclaimed.
The cloth changed into Leon before jumping back in its place on Reborn's hat. "That's the Shadow technique. The trick is to show no sign of your presence."
"Hmm. Impressive." Kiyomi commented.
"Reborn! Brace yourself!" Lambo cried out. But before he could do anything, Reborn pulled out a piece of cake from who knows where and held it up.
"Tsuna's mama made this cake." Reborn threw the cake towards Lambo who caught it in his mouth and ate it in one bite.
"I love shortcake!"
"It has a bomb in it, though." Reborn said before pulling out something from his pocket.
"A grenade's pin?"
Everyone turned their attention towards Lambo who stuck out his tongue to reveal a grenade before it flashed and blew Lambo away leaving behind a big puff of smoke and into the sky.
"There he goes." Kiyomi muttered.
"He has no mercy." Tsuna stated.
"It's fine. He's just annoying." Gokdera said.
"Toys these days are so well made." Yamamoto added.
"I sure hope he landed somewhere safe." Kiyomi said.
"Don't worry your pretty little head about him, Kiyomi." Reborn said.
Suddenly, Tsuna let out a scream which grabbed everyone's attention.
"W-What is it, 10th?" Gokudera asked.
"I forgot I had a promise with Kyoko-chan!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"What kind of a promise?" Kiyomi asked.
"Well, yesterday, Kyoko-chan, Hana and I were talking about what to do with our Social Studies independent research project since we're in a group. So we agreed to come to school early and discuss about it. I told her I would be there on time. That's what I promised her. What do I do? No matter how fast I go, I'll definitely be late." Tsuna cried out.
"You never know unless you try." Reborn said before Leon transformed into his signature gun and aim it at Tsuna. "Get to school with your dying will."
"Wait a sec!"
Tsuna's pleas were left unheard as Reborn shot the dying will bullet at Tsuna's forehead, causing his body to fall forward and hit the ground.
"It's dying will time!" Reborn announced as the flame appeared on Tsuna's head.
"Reborn!" Tsuna's body shot up from the ground as his clothes disappeared. "I'll go to school with my dying will!" Tsuna declared before running off, leaving his friends behind in the dust.
"When he's wearing only underwear, he's pretty awesome." Yamamoto stated before he and the others looked down at the ground to see Tsuna's school bag.
"The 10th forgot his bag." Gokudera stated.
"It can't be helped." Kiyomi said as she picked up the bag. "We better catch up to him and deliver this."
"But can you hit him with the dying will bullet for that?" Gokudera asked Reborn.
"You'll understand soon."
Kiyomi looked down at Reborn with a smile and asked, "You got something planned out again, don't you?" Her reply was Reborn's signature smile. "You little sneak." Kiyomi said with a giggle.
Tsuna found himself standing in front of the door for the Boxing Club. If you're confused why he's in front of the Boxing Club room, here's what happened. He accidently pulled Ryohei, the captain of the Boxing Club and the older brother of Kyoko, with him to school while he was in the dying will mode. Apparently, Ryohei was instantly inspired by Tsuna's spirit and urged him to join the boxing club. Believe me, he wanted to say no…but he couldn't say it since Kyoko was with them at the time.
"I can't do this. There's no way I can box. But how do I refuse?" Tsuna thought out loud before the door slide open to reveal Ryohei Sasagawa. If you had both Kyoko and Ryohei standing in front of you, you would see a noticeably difference between the two. Ryohei has tanned skin, gray eyes and white hair with a scar on his left temple. His most defining traits are his adhesive bandage on his nose and the sports tape around his arms.
"I've been waiting for you, Sawada!" Ryohei exclaimed as he dragged Tsuna inside the room.
Tsuna quickly got out of Ryohei's grip and said, "Hey, um, it's just that I can't-" He was cut off by a whistle. He looked to the side to see Kiyomi and Yamamoto with Biachi, Lambo, I-Pin and Haru waiting for him.
"We've been waiting, Tsuna." Kiyomi announced.
"Everyone's here!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"I wanted to see Tsuna-san win, so I came here at mach speed after school!" Haru stated.
"I-Pin is here too!" I-Pin announced from her spot in Kiyomi's arms.
"Lambo-san, five years old, is here too." Lambo announced from his spot in Kiyomi's arms as well.
"How did you find out?" Tsuna asked.
"Reborn told us." Bianchi answered.
"So it's his fault!"
"Gokudera was here too, but he suddenly felt sick." Yamamoto stated.
Tsuna turned towards Bianchi and he could guess the reason why Gokudera couldn't be here.
Ryohei began to laugh and said, "Sawada! You're so popular that even an elder of Thai Boxing came all the way from Thai to see you."
"Huh? An elder from Thai?" Everyone look up at the boxing ring to see Reborn dressed up as an elder boxer with an elephant like hat.
"This is Elder PaoPao." Ryohei introduced.
"Pao!"
"Reborn!"
"Knew it." Kiyomi muttered.
"I want to see the crazy fight between the new club member and the leader of this club." Reborn requested.
"What the hell are you saying? Are you trying to force me to fight?" Tsuna questioned Reborn's way of thinking.
"Go to the Madison Square Garden star and make Kyoko happy."
"Just like the elder says. The sparring we're gonna do will be a good way to measure your true power." Ryohei agreed full heartily.
"What, you too? Wait a second." Tsuna was pulled away by Bianchi who helped him in his boxing gear.
"We're ready."
Everyone was standing off to the side while Tsuna, Ryohei and Haru were standing in the middle of the ring.
"Let's go, Sawada! I won't go easy on you!" Ryohei declared.
"P-Please go easy on me." Tsuna pleaded.
"The match will begin." Reborn announced before ringing the bell.
"Fight!" Haru shouted.
Ryohei began to charge at Tsuna at a fast pace, causing Tsuna to scream in fear. "Don't hold back, Sawada!" Ryohei got a few jabs on Tsuna's face which caused him to fall down.
"Tsuna-san! That was a slip! That was just a slip!" Haru exclaimed.
"What's with you? Don't just play around. Fight for real!" Ryohei shouted.
"Wow. He's as passionate as my sister is when it comes to sports." Kiyomi stated.
"No, no. You're mistaken. This is my real strength." Tsuna stated.
"Stand up, Tsuna. Kyoko's watching." Reborn announced, grabbing Tsuna's attention. He looked to the side to see if she really was watching them. However, he only saw Reborn wearing a Kyoko mask. "Tsuna-kun."
"It's just a fake!"
"That's just mean." Kiyomi said with a laugh.
"Come on, Sawada!" Ryohei charged towards Tsuna again with his boxing glove landing a hit in Tsuna's gut, causing him to back away in pain.
"This doesn't look so good for Tsuna." Kiyomi commented.
Ryohei dropped his stance and stared at Tsuna with an intense stare. "You haven't accepted me yet."
"Eh?"
"You're just playing around because you haven't accepted me as worthy."
"Eh? Eh?" Tsuna backed away as Ryohei screamed out in rage. "He's intense when he's upset, too."
"Fight with your dying will." Reborn suggested as Leon transformed into the signature gun.
"Huh? Wait. If I suddenly had the dying will…" Tsuna trailed off as he began to think about his options before he shouted, "No way! No, no, no! Don't shoot!"
"Then how about this…" Reborn fired his gun…however the dying will bullet hit Ryohei in the forehead instead of Tsuna as usual; catching both Tsuna and Kiyomi off guard.
"What? You hit him with the dying will bullet?" Tsuna was confused at what just happened as he looked down at Ryohei who fell on his back. A flame appeared on Ryohei's forehead as he got up on his feet. "No way! You hit Kyoko's crazy big brother with the dying will bullet!"
"Huh. I guess it works with just about anyone it hits." Kiyomi stated in amazement.
"This is no time to be amazed by this!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"Sorry." Kiyomi said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"What is it, Sawada? Let's continue." Ryohei said as if nothing happened to him.
"Huh? He didn't change at all?" Tsuna wondered.
"Let's go! Now come!" Ryohei was ready to go as he got into a fighting stance.
"How bizarre. He didn't change at all when he got hit by the bullet like Tsuna does." Kiyomi pondered until a thought crossed her mind. "Unless…if you hit a person that already has a dying will, the bullet doesn't work."
"Ryohei Sasagawa is an amazing guy." Reborn commented.
"To have a dying will from the start, he really is an extreme guy." Tsuna added with his eyes widen in amazement.
"You're next, Tsuna. If you both get hit, you're equal." Reborn stated.
"Eh?" As soon as Tsuna turned around, Reborn fire his gun once more before the bullet hit Tsuna in the forehead.
"Here we go again." Kiyomi said with a sigh as she watches Tsuna jumping back on his feet and faced Ryohei.
"I'll refuse to join the boxing club with my dying will!" Tsuna declared.
"Tsuna."
"Yeah! Both of you, die!" Lambo shouted.
"Hush you!" Kiyomi told Lambo while hitting his head gently with her hand.
"Go and get K.O." I-Pin said.
"I won't ask you any small questions! That's because I believe we can talk as men through our fists!" Ryohei began to charge towards Tsuna once more. "Join our club, Sawada!"
"No!" Tsuna shouted as he dodged Ryohei's punch.
"Yeah, that's the movement! Extreme right straight!" Tsuna dodged Ryohei's fist once more, which excited Ryohei even more. "You dodged my extreme right straight! I'm really impressed with you now! Join our club, Sawada!"
"I refuse!"
Ryohei continued to throw his punches at Tsuna who dodged every one of them while everyone else was watching the fight at a fast speed.
"Tsuna is amazing for able to dodge so much. But that rush isn't something you see everyday." Yamamoto said.
"He has the makings of a hitman." Bianchi added.
"I refuse!" Tsuna declared before he landed a punch on Ryohei's face, knocking him out of the ring and down on his back.
"Tsuna-san is amazing as usual!" Haru cheered with hearts filling her eyes.
Once both Tsuna's and Ryohei's flames died out, Tsuna realized what he just did. He started to panic that if he killed Ryohei, Kyoko wouldn't speak to him ever again.
"I really like you now, Sawada!" Tsuna snapped his eyes open to see Ryohei alive and well as everyone stood in front of him. "Your boxing sense is platinum!"
"He's totally fine!" Tsuna exclaimed in relief.
"Let's finish this!"
Before anything else could happen, the door slammed open to reveal Hana running in and shouted, "Something horrible has happened!"
Everyone turned towards Hana as Yamamoto asked, "What is it?"
"The karate club took Kyoko."
"What?"
"Kyoko-chan?"
"What is it? Did something happen?" Kyoko asked as she stepped inside the room, completely fine and out of harm's way. Everyone was now confused. Didn't her friend just say she was kidnapped?
"She's right here." Tsuna stated.
Suddenly, a loud laugh filled the room as a group of boys came running inside with a couple of boys holding a sign that says Namimori High School Visitors.
"Get ready, Ryohei Sasagawa!" One of the boys, who Kiyomi assumes is the leader, shouted.
"Ooyama!"
"You know them?" Kiyomi wondered.
A taller and older boy placed a hand on top of Ooyama's shoulder and gently pushed him aside before stepping forward. Upon closer expectations, anyone could tell right away they were brothers because they looked similar.
"So you're Ryohei Sasagawa? From what my little brother says, you're pretty tough."
"Huh? By little brother you mean…"
"Namimori High School karate club leader, Daigorou Ooyama! Come and face me now!"
"They're brothers?" Tsuna asked.
Kiyomi held a bored expression on her face as she said, "He really called his older brother to fight his battle for him. That's just sad."
"Sasagawa! If we win this, your sister and Kiyomi-chan are part of the karate club!" Ushio Ooyama stated.
"What did he say?!" Both Tsuna and Kiyomi shouted.
"Yeah. They keep saying that they want Kyoko and Kiyomi to be their managers." Hana explained.
Both of the Ooyama brothers hugged one another as Daigorou said, "Even back when I was here, the karate club has just been fully of sweaty guys. How long do you think we've wanted not one, but two flower-like female managers?" Daigorou released his brother and added, "This is for my little brother, so I won't make this easy!"
Ushio grabbed Kyoko by her arm which caused her to scream.
"Hey, you can't force them to do that!" Tsuna exclaimed.
A grunt was heard causing everyone to look over to the side and see Gokudera, though still slightly weak, knocked out of the karate club members and stood in front of the opened door.
"Gokudera!"
"Hayato."
"If it's for the 10th, I won't care if my sister is here!" Gokudera declared.
"What do we do, Reborn?" Bianchi asked.
"Well, just fight them as you wish." Reborn answered.
"Let's go, Poison Cooking!"
"Go!"
Every one of the karate club began to charge towards the group in high speed.
"Extreme Rush!" Ryohei knocked out a few of the karate club members with a set of fast jabs of his fist.
"Gyoza Fist!" I-Pin jumped out of Kiyomi's arms before launching a wave of garlic scent at two boys who were coming after Kiyomi. The boys immediately began to gag from the smell.
"Thanks for the help, I-Pin." Kiyomi said with I-Pin giving her a nod.
"Poison Cooking!" Bianchi threw some of her cooking to a few of the boys who were knocked out instantly after receiving a mouthful of it.
"We got you now!" A couple of boys jumped towards Kiyomi with her back turned.
"If you're going to do a sneak attack…" Kiyomi placed Lambo on the floor before performing a backwards spin kick on the boys, knocking them down on the floor. "You should do it for quietly."
"Take this!" Gokudera pulled out some lit dynamite sticks before quickly placing one in each person's uniform and jumped away in a safe distance. "Pick-Pocket Bomb!" As soon as he said that, the dynamite sticks went off on the boys.
"Everyone's so strong!" Haru commented with glee.
"Lambo-san is a lot stronger!" Lambo said with a laugh.
Daigorou was attempting to land a kick on Ryohei, but Ryohei kept dodging he shouted, "Extreme corkscrew punch!" He landed a punch on Daigorou's face, knocking him unconscious.
Frighten by his brother's defeat, Ushio grabbed Kyoko by the arm and began to run away. If he couldn't have both of the girls, he would be okay with one.
"Kyoko-chan!" Tsuna quickly got out of the ring and ran towards Ushio and Kyoko.
"Tsuna-kun!" Kyoko cried out, causing Ushio to stop in his tracks and push her to side.
"I won't let you get in the way!" Ushio declared as he launched his fist towards Tsuna who closed his eyes in fear.
"Counter it, Tsuna." Reborn ordered.
By a short of luck or a miracle, Tsuna launched his fist at the same time as Ushio and somehow dodged Ushio's attack before landing one on Ushio's face; knocking him out and down on the ground.
"All right! He did it!" Kiyomi cheered.
"As expected from the 10th!" Gokudera added.
"Tsuna-san, you're amazing! A super dangerous punch filled with love for Haru!" Haru cheered.
"Don't make it so meaningful!" Tsuna shouted before he turned his attention back at the unconscious Ushio. "I did that?"
"Yup. Without the help of the dying will bullet." Reborn replied.
After making sure every one of the karate club members have been taken care of, everyone was either sitting or standing in relief.
"The unity of the Family became stronger." Reborn stated.
"Family? What's that family thing?" Ryohei asked.
Reborn briefly looked up at Ryohei before turning back towards Tsuna and said, "A passionate guy like him is needed, too."
"Eh?"
After every one of the karate club members were awaken and able to move, one of the members was supporting Ushio back to their club room.
"We'll never give up! Someday we'll get ourselves a hot girl!" Ushio declared with tears running down his face.
"Yeah!"
"What are you doing there?" A familiar voice was heard. The boys looked up to see Hibari was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Hiba…ri…san."
"If you're crowding, I'll kill you." Hibari declared with a harden glare.
"Excuse us!" Despite the injuries they had sustained, everyone quickly ran away as fast as they could from Hibari.
"Hmph…" Hibari watched them run away with their tails between their legs as he looked off to the side to the door that hid a certain girl from his view. 'As if she could be your manager…'
