The following days went by as normal though Tsuna noticed he did not get picked on at all, minus the friendly jabs Karma usually took at him. In fact it seemed everybody was keeping their distance from him and Tsuna didn't know how to feel about that. Of course he'd been isolated from his peers for many years in his childhood but he never had as many friends as he did now.
By the time first block rolled around Monday Tsuna was having a crappy day. He woke up late, he had no breakfast, it was raining and his umbrella flew away soaking him instantly with still a ways away from school, not to mention the muddy mountain he had to practically parkour up. When he arrived in class muddy soaking and depressed the class looked on in shock and pity, it didn't help the fact that the only person that could get him dry and clean in a matter of seconds wasn't even there yet.
As soon as the bell rang Korosensei flew through the door with his ever present smile, somehow that smile seemed to dim when his gaze fell upon the shaking brown mop in a chair. Korosensei was going to ask Tsuna what happened but was cut off by the door slamming open showing a silver haired delinquent and tall black haired swordsman.
"Tsuna!" The silver haired delinquent yelled making everybody snap their heads to Tsuna and Tsuna snap his up. He smiled seeing his two best friends standing there smiling but their smiles quickly faded when they saw what condition he was in.
"Tsuna?" Yamamoto questioned, his smile straining so hard Tsuna wanted to look away.
"Oh what did they do to you tenth!? I shall blow them up in your honor!" Some eyebrows raised at his exclamation and fear after realizing he could do just that when he pulled dynamite out of who-knows-where.
"Ah Gokudera you really don't need to do that it's fine. Just a bit of bad luck but it just got better." Tsunas radiant smile stopped Gokudera in his tracks, along with everyone else present never seeing Tsuna smile so full of happiness and warmth. Gokudera rushed forward and wrapped his arms around his boss not even thinking about the cold seeping into his bones. They were both scooped up in the arms of a cheerful Yamamoto.
"Don't touch me you baseball idiot!" Gokudera was quick to voice his protest but Tsuna just sighed, already used to and expecting this.
"Ma ma don't be like that Hayato it's just a group hug. We haven't seen Tsuna in two months I'm sure he doesn't mind. Beside, the other guardians told us to give him a hug, well most of them." Yamamoto put the pair down and as soon as Gokudera let go, much to a cold Tsuna's chagrin Tsuna sneezed.
Both guardians looked at their friend and killing intent swirled around the room instantly drawing the attention of everyone present, including a newly arrived Karasuma and Bitch-sensei. Korosensei looked on in interest never expecting such an aura from teenagers, and if Tsuna really was their boss Korosensei wouldn't be surprised if Tsuna could create a much more intimidating aura. "I see you have been neglecting Tsuna. That's a big mistake." Yamamoto turned serious as he started to pull his sword out of his sheath much to everyone's surprise.
"I will not let this stand any longer. Tenth is sick now because of you all so you must pay." Gokudera was quick to pull his dynamite but they were both stopped by a shivering Tsuna placing his hand on their backs and sending harmonization Flames through the contact.
"Guys stop. It's not their fault, I woke up late and my umbrella flew away. Really I'm fine I just need to dry off." Needing no more inventive Korosensei was quick to go to his student only to be stopped by a sword coated in blue flames at his neck.
"Get any closer to Tsuna and I'll kill you." Yamamoto's attitude took a 180 and everybody held their breath never seeing anything like it before. Their teacher was being held back from helping one of his students and his face turned red showing he was angry.
"Stop it Yamamoto. If you move the slightest inch you'll cut me and I know you don't wanna do that." Tsuna put himself in front of Yamamoto's sword replacing his teacher knowing Yamamoto would never even think about hurting him but would have no qualms about doing it to an alien octopus who could hurt his friend.
Yamamoto slowly lowered his sword putting it back in the sheath on his back looking upset, a stark difference to what he looked like when he first arrived. Korosensei took that as his cue to change and dry his student off so he didn't get sicker than he was already. When he was finished Tsuna went to his shocked friends and said. "We have a lot to discuss. Where did Reborn put you?"
"Beside you." Gokudera responded. Korosensei raised an eyebrow at hearing Reborn's name again much less coming from a bunch of middle school students. Though, he guessed, if these kids were associated with the Mafia they would know about Rebron. He hadn't known that Reborn had taken on another student after the clutz Dino was. Korosensei knew from then on that he would have to keep a close eye on his student, especially if he was trained by Reborn then Korosensei had no doubt that this student could eventually kill him.
