Chapter 5

The moment that there was peace, it was deadly, Reborn pause from drinking his most favorite drink. He watches the twins from the other side. They were glowering at him, but said nothing. He only gave the silent hitman look that he can bestow. He smiles at his personal joke…Cowards. Reborn sip the beverage, it was satisfying for the moment until Tsuna come back from school. Today, he decided to raise the hell training a notch and the twins were not too happy about that. Reborn really wanted to laugh now. It was site to see for a rainy day. But enough about that, he look back at the clock finally noticing the time. Tsuna was late. Where the hell could that boy be? Of all days Reborn ignore the fact of keeping tabs on the boy.

Never mind that, he had to figure out how he is going to collect new members for the twins' family he debated as the kids play chase. Both Takano and Saya were busy at the moment figuring out the answer to the question he placed on the bomb. Reborn was still upset that the twins have lost both Hayato and Takeshi to their brother especially that natural born hitman, with proper training and if he loses that cheerful daze personality, Yamamoto Takeshi, would be a foe worthy to fight given if he wasn't the greatest hitman. Hayato, on the other hand still needing to grow up but once that is done. He smirks. He was beginning to act like the certain perfect that seem very promising. And the school idol's brother was another. He hops from his brown leather chair and exit the room, he locks the door before the banging began. Moment later he smirk as inner room explode. How he love to mess with his student. He opens the door and tightens his lip from laughing at their faces. Oh god…. the picture was too much, the twins' clothes was ruining from the bomb, hair burn crisp and going from all direction. Black smug from the face spook nothing but ridiculous. Reborn turn away from them and head downstairs to see Bianchi and her poison cooking according to the recent attacks, it hit a new stage and she wanted for further her creation. Perfect, for the next session of training.

Saya clearly she wanted revenge but knowing the infant and where she is now. It would be suicide to even try that path yet. She stays quiet. Saya knows that she is smart girl and prove from time to time that if she waits for the right moment everything will fall into her favor. She looks at Takano and with a silent nod in their language they move into the next phase. It was time for the little scumbag to acknowledge his place. Oh how that little whore would pay.

They found him; they always have a knack in torture, playing with him, teasing his mind. Thinking one moment that he was safe, only to find himself running again to escapes their clutches. Praying would do nothing against them, it never did because it was no point he was only going making it worst. Yet Tsuna could not help but to run. They caught him pulling him in the dark deserted alley. His arms reached where he could see the light of the street yet nothing stops. A part of him was already readying accepting its fate but another spoke wave of a new sensation it was the same of that time with the perfect skylark. Not going anywhere without a fight…Out of nowhere, his limbs move; he pulled hair, shirts punching kicking anything that would get him free from the beating.

"Hold still you little bitch," The ring leader spoke as lift his second arm up.

Black spot appear as everything spun. The first hit the side of his head as two from the group held him up for the upcoming round. Tsuna try to move from upcoming attack instead of hitting his face, his stomach took the blow, he gasps and cough up blood, but that didn't stop, the hits continue to come, his cries were fuel to their entertainment. That's right he was their toy. The expressions of amusement plaster on their faces as they took great pleasure into reminding him, beating him, breaking him into pieces. So that he can never get up. He remembers well every time this happen the laughter ringing around his ears as people joke, pointing fingers him, calling him, but not his name. No it was insults. He was laughing stock.

Emotionless eyes stare back as the pain made a pause for him to catch his breath, but it was enough he bend over as the kick repeatedly went toward his gut. He begged to stop, but fell deaf to all. He screams as one of them stomps down hard on his arm, tears coated burning through but the tears did not fall yet. The horrible sound of the bone snapping under the pressure made the fear grow tenfold.

'That's right little shit, cry. Show more fear. " The leader reaches and host him up where Tsuna lay, the smirk was still there as Tsuna blearily blink as his vision went in and out. Tsuna wheeze horrible as the air became thinner and hard to intake. Suddenly hands found their way around his neck, Tsuna wince as he choke , his unbroken arm flails around as his grip try to loosen the hold , feet dangle just above the ground. The others laugh at his pathetic self—

"HEY!"

A voice spoke breaking the concentration, Tsuna croak to give whoever was there a sign that he was in trouble. Bad move. Tsuna convulse under the sudden pressure place on his neck. He can feel the darkness closing in. He fell on the trash, distinctly hearing the goons running away from him before his eyes closed and he was left with nothing.

"Is he going to okay?"

A voice…? Tsuna could swear he heard a voice from the darkness. The warm feeling was back.

"Damn it I should have been there…"

Who was that? Tsuna was fill nothing but questions and want to find out; however, his body refuses to listen.

"What's done is done get over it. Now you know…"

Tsuna…sleep…rest and prepare…That was all he heard before once again his mind shut down.

Tsuna woke up again this time for good. Reborn was there as he sat up; currently he was now by the window facing the window with his back turn, Tsuna's body hurt all over and by the look of things. He was not out of the woods yet.

"Welcome to the living, Dame-Tsuna."

Tsuna shiver that voice…The infant turn to face him. Tsuna flinch….His face…!

"Baka," Tsuna cried out as he felt the small hand smack him. Tsuna could help to ask the stupid question, "W-why?" He croaks only to grab a hold on his neck. It hurt. But that wasn't all.

If that unwavering expression could get more murderous, Tsuna felt he had enter in the seventh circle of hell. He mentally cries for his idiotic behavior that is getting him in trouble.

"You…!" Reborn gave him another smack, this one much harder and painfully than the last one. Tsuna rub the offending spot where the egg size knot was forming. Tsuna gave an expression of, "Why are you angry about?" He could only understand so much but for Reborn he was just wasting his time for what seems just a typically everyday recurrent, so he gotten beaten. Many this a little far but it still was the same. It's not like you're my tutor… Tsuna thought. Unknown to Tsuna moment of crisis, as if he could read the boy's mind Reborn heard the last statement and smirk,

"Oh I wouldn't count on it."

Tsuna grew pale by the seconds. The steel color eyes glare coldly at him although it the same expression the person would always give to the people surrounding him but for some reason, Tsuna got the feeling that the expression given to him was not the regular kind. "H-Hibari-san." His voice cracks.

"Herbivore…Shut up." Tsuna flinch violently, why? Why Reborn invited him here?! Tsuna cried to himself. Tsuna sat on the hospital bed wishing that he was in hole where no one will find him.

"Tsuna-sama!"

"Tsuna!"

Two voices broke from the entrance of the room. Tsuna mentally smile in relief he was save. "Yo, Hibari," Takeshi said to the annoy boy far from the room.

Tsuna glance at the older boys as them came in. Though they weren't alone, "Mama-Tsuna!" Tsuna was bomb by a fast object. He winces as his cast arm gave sharp pang that it was disturbed by something or a person for this matter. He glances down and saw the children. He smile at them and held them close instantly warming up from their body heat. Tsuna watch the children babble anything and everything only to listen what he could catch from the conversation too fast for him to understand. Once again his attention was stolen by the silver hair boy kneeling on the floor clearly ready to have a heart attack.

"I have failed you, Tsuna-sama!" Hayato cried out to his "boss." Tsuna frantically wave his hand in front of the boy dismiss on the statement.

"Why, Tsuna-sama, the baseball idiot we could have protected you!"

It was quiet. Tsuna shrank back to his usual self. Sure, he felt guilty of not sharing this information and the fact the Tsuna have always dealt with the bullies by allowing them to do as they please , plus Tsuna was not used to having friends. Hibari-san, who was just in the sidelines minding the situation with the infant hitman observing the scene, stood up.

"Herbivore," Tsuna, flinch at the tone present at the older boy, "This is over."

Hibari took his leave with a BANG as the door slam shut.

The room got quiet again. Tsuna didn't know what hurts more the wounds on him or the unnerving shame plague on his mind. How was he supposed to show them that he didn't want them involve in his problems.

"Tsuna-sama, we're friends, right?"

Tsuna want to say yes, but the bandages and the pain made it harder for him to scream out his opinions. But then again it was his guilt was making him stay quiet. He nodded.

"Then share your burden, Tsuna." Takeshi spoke as he laid a hand on the thin should. Tsuna felt smaller than what he was. The uneasy feeling came back but it was similar to the warmth of Primo.

"That's because they are your family…" the deep voice spoke in his head. "And soon you will have more…"

Tsuna reach to grab the hand rest on his shoulder, "Gomen…"he croak.

The shock look filter in their eyes place more guilt on his mind. Up until now Tsuna never really had anyone to talk too though beside Primo but there are days where primo was not there and he just kept to himself. Now that it was different because he had all these people who genuinely care for him.

"Mama-Tsuna," The little arms tighten around his stomach, "Us too! We'll protect you!"

After staying in the hospital for a few more days, Tsuna was at the discharge area getting everything ready to leave. Though on the bright side he was glad to leave this white confinement the bad part is that he was still in trouble with Reborn and now Hibari-san. And what they have planned for the boy is something that Tsuna will not forget anytime soon. Tsuna gather the paperwork and his belongings that in the plastic bag. As he walks away from the desk he saw Hayato and Takeshi waving their arms wildly in the lobby. Tsuna sweatdrop as they were gaining glance from everyone mostly from the girls presented. When he got to them he could feel the glare at the back of his neck. Girls are scary! He felt his left arm empty, as he'd glance to see Hayato grabbing the plastic bag, "Allow me, Tsuna-sama, you shouldn't be overdoing it"

They headed back to the Sawada residence, Tsuna brought everyone crepes before getting him a cookie n' cream ice cream topped with strawberry cover slight drizzle of chocolate well balance with one hand. After many times getting injury, Tsuna learn to deal with most injuries that most would stop a person from keep moving forward. God, he was starving, he forgotten how hospital food was disgusting and the fact he never really ate much. This wonderful snack made everything better. And from the look of the other faces' they thought the same. They enjoy the treat as they walk perfect fine with each other presence.

"Tsuna," Takeshi voice spoke at last as they were walking the last block. Tsuna gave him his full attention.

"I think your mom forgot to tell us about having guest."

The small boy frowns but true enough, there out of the Sawada household, there were a group of men in black suits waiting. They are scary…Tsuna thought as they got closer to their destination.

Hayato took his place on the right of his boss keeping a look out on the men as they walk.

"Hey, only member of the Sawada—"

The ring leader started to yell out but stop as Takeshi laugh, "Tsuna lives here."

Tsuna didn't say anything; he was too scared to make eye contact with the male above. He could feel the icy glare on the top of his head.

"Oi, don't glare at Tsuna-sama!" Hayato took a hold the smaller boy shoulder and began to pull forward.

The men still keep their gaze the group as they walk in. Tsuna enter the house after being push by an overprotective puppy. Takeshi laughter was heard in the background. Bianchi step out of kitchen when she notices Tsuna. She broke into a smile, "Welcome back, we've miss you."

He nods, "How's everyone," he didn't get an answer because his mother step out as well and she was full on blushing as if she some high school girl dealing with a crush, "Saya and Taka-kun have such a handsome quest."

Tilting his head Tsuna couldn't help that this was Reborn's fault.

"Dino is like an older brother for you." Reborn explain as Tsuna decide to head for the source of information. Tsuna sigh weary, but bow at the man seating in the brown leather chair in center of the Twin room. Saya and Takano were already inside and nod at Tsuna when he show up. Dino just smile but his eye narrow as they move up and down. Then moments pass before he let out Humph! Tsuna flinch at the sound. He ignores the looks he got from Takeshi and Hayato before. He glances back at the guy sitting. Moments pass before the male broke into laughter, "I never thought I have a cute little brother."

EH?

Tsuna tilt his head in confusion. Reborn just let the famous smirk slip on. Apparently Dino was here for the twins, hoping that his presence can shed some light of what is like to be boss of an important mafia family. The Chiavarona Famiglia is close ties to the Vongola as Reborn explain to him early. The older male suddenly nowhere he clung him. Tsuna was squish; he could smell fresh yet settle scent of cologne from the shirt in front. Dino nuzzled his face into the super soft hair, "Call me big brother!"

Tsuna struggle to escape; to his rescue, Takeshi and Hayato decide to make their presences known. They manage to pull him away from the older boy. Their eyes clearly spoke that they were not happy, but that wasn't the only thing that made Tsuna sweatdrop Reborn had his hand on his famous Leon-gun. Tsuna strain a smile

"Mou, should we get start on school work?" Tsuna said to the boys.

He had a feeling that if he didn't intervene right now, something bad was going to happen. Both boys look at the boy in between and reluctant agree knowing that they didn't upset the stressed teen anymore.

They settle in Tsuna's room where their work were lay out as well as snacks that Tsuna brought up. The boys spend the rest of the afternoon like this exchanging methods into solving the work that was mess, in most case was Tsuna, who by the end of the last packet of work was up to speed and felt accomplish that the fact he actually learn something without Reborn help. Tsuna stretch and yawn. Before suddenly GRRRR….Tsuna blush as the pair of eyes just met his shifting ones. Takeshi laugh.

"It not funny." Tsuna pouted but he smile nonetheless, "Come I think my mom made some dinner."

When Tsuna first saw Dino, he honestly thought he's a good guy. Nice, sweet, and funny, but...Tsuna sweatdrop as he watched the man drop his food for the fifteenth time. His area was messy and blobs of food were everywhere, but his mouth. Tsuna stifle his giggle as Dino continue though he'll complain about how he was not used to chopstick. Says and Takano were however very nice to everyone. For once Saya had offered to prepare dinner Nana had gush out during dinner. Tsuna let his mouth turn upwards with change of air in the room. It wasn't like other dinner before Reborn. Tsuna would hide in his room for dinner and waited until everyone else would finish their dinner. Sometimes when Tsuna would come down there little or no food at all left. But now everything seems happy.

Tsuna finish putting the last dish on the rack before heading up to bed. The house was quiet since everyone fell asleep tired from the nuisance of Dino's stupid pet, Enzo. Who knew that a small slow creature could be so much trouble. Tsuna gave a big sigh. And now he had to worry about working. Going in his room Tsuna found the kids already sleeping in their spots that they both took the liberty of deciding. Tsuna place his Pj's before sliding into the bed. The bed help escape the tension from his back and legs. His body relaxes then closed his eyes for the night.

He was floating….

Floating...He opens his eyes and saw water. It was so lonely…there was no feeling just fierce feeling of longing. Longing to be free. Where he was its dark. He was alone. No… he wanted out. Where's everyone? The bubbles cover his vision. He's choking. He could feel the chain restrain his movement.

Eyes snap open. The light streaming in through the curtains. Tsuna groggily look around only to find everyone gone. He looks at the clock by his bed. Few moments, Tsuna screech

"I'M LATE!"

Tsuna jump and began to place his clothes on then running downstairs and accomplish something he wish the most, not tripping down the stairs. Grabbing piece of the toast bread and haste morning acknowledge to the people on the table. He rushes out the door. Totally not seeing Takeshi and Hayato following very close by. Tsuna look at his watch and sweat two minutes and twenty-seven seconds before the bell rings and Hibari-san begins to bite people to death. Just a few more blocks…

"You're not going to make it...Demico-kun." an amuse voice said.

Tsuna grumble around his bread, "Shut up."

But of course his beloved father had to jinx. Hibari-san was leaning against the wall without care in the world. Tsuna pants and sat down the ground. Well he try, he will always be Dame-Tsuna after all.

"Herbivore."

"Y-Yes?" Tsuna stutters

"You're late."

"I-I know."

Tsuna shudder he picture that smirk Hibari-san right now as he was looking at him. Hibari-san look up and spoke, "You two may head to class now." there was mute threat said Tsuna turn a bit and shock to see Takeshi and Hayato there right behind him. He didn't notice that they were right there the whole time.

"Like hell we will-"

"Maa, Hayato, Hibari-san, knows what he's doing…" Takeshi said placing his arm on Hayato shoulder, but he kept steady gaze at the skylark. "He won't hurt Tsuna."

They left the other boy there. Tsuna shift his gaze avoiding Hibari, the last time he saw him was at the hospital and he still remember of the meeting. Hibari didn't say anything but incline his head to follow him as he turns away from the small boy. With no options Tsuna follow him where he was lead to a classroom. Tsuna stare around the room in awe it was not every day you see a room furnished with furniture. Hibari went towards the desk and grab the paper which he brought towards the boy without a word. Tsuna glance the paper. It was address to his teachers that he'll be excuse for the afternoons every day. Tsuna confuse spoke

"W-What is-?"

"Your training.' Hibari said not sparing his view in favor of the paper he currently started on.

"But what about-"

He stop he grew paler by the seconds. Hibari was not Reborn that's for sure but he in his own way scared Tsuna and the littlest smirk place on his face did not help his heart at all.

Sneak Peak

The week was hard. Hibari-san was strict teacher rival next Reborn. From 100 lap around the track to sparing of the west rooftop. Tsuna could only cry. This was not something he wanted but. The way I-pin and Lambo would said how strong their Mama-Tsuna is made him push on. Tsuna also felt that he had to train there something big that was coming.

Something was coming

He wasn't whether it was good or bad

But it was coming.

What do you think I should?:0 (^_^) PLEASE REVIEWS!
