Let the Training Begin

Tsuna let his head fall on the table. He was so tired that he almost fell asleep during math. A few others did the same -namely Takeshi - but of course just he got caught.

Last night, Tsuna sat for quite a while with Reborn in the living room. He had enjoyed the moment to have him so close; to have a part of his family back.

Just before the sun came up, the two decided that they would prefer to go to bed. As Tsuna then had to go to school, he tried to be as quiet as possible so as not to wake up Reborn, but his older brother was no longer there.

What does Reborn actually do all day long?

Takeshi and Hayato picked Tsuna up again this morning. Second attempt at a first joint meeting. But this time with less explosions, but with more screaming. Everything considered together, they seemed to get along. Well, let's see how long the peace lasts.

Now it was lunchtime and Tsuna sat with Kyoko, Takeshi and Hayato. Before them on the roof of the school, did they put the food. Hana was not in school today, she was sick. Poor Hana.

All taken together, the day was pretty normal until now. Takeshi laughed, Hayato screamed at him, Kyoko laughed and Tsuna tried to prevent Hayato from taking out his dynamite. Normality was something reassuring in itself.

Suddenly they heard a rumble in the stairwell. Something incredibly fast came running toward them. Hayato and Takeshi built themselves protectively up in front of Kyoko and Tsuna.

The door was flung open and Hayato wanted to throw dynamite at the intruder, but Tsuna responded quickly and held his arm.

"SAWADA! KYOKO! YAMAOTO! OCTUPUSHEAD! An extremely nice lunch!"

The intruder was Sasagawa Ryohei, Kyoko's older brother.

"Konichiwa, Onii-san."

"Onii-san."

"Hey, Senpai. Ha, ha, ha "

"What did you call me?," Yelled Gokudera, and would try to throw dynamite at him, would Tsuna not still hold his arm.

"Do you want to eat with us, Onii-san?" Asked Tsuna. Sometimes Tsuna had called Reborn Onii-san, but the older disliked this name apparently. Tsuna never understood why. But after an experience in a very emotional phase of his young life, Ryohei allowed him to call him Onii-san.

The glass of the picture broke when it was thrown to the ground. Two hands sought in the shattered glass for an picture. The glass cuts through the skin, so that small streams of blood were dripping from his hands.

Three people could be seen. In the picture. A woman and two children. They looked smiling at the camera. Yes, back when we were still happy.

Tears ran down Tsuna's cheeks. Why? Why had they left him alone?

More and more tears ran down his cheeks, but at the same time a huge pressure built itself up inside him. He so desperately wanted to destroy something – aside from the photo.

Tsuna took a deep breath. And another time And another ti ... Oh that brings nothing. Tsuna grabbed his jacket and went outside. A little – or maybe a large walk – would help.

Thought and done. A short time later, Tsuna stomped aimlessly through the streets of Namimori. Quickly, he no longer knew where he was. So Tsuna stopped and looked around. He stood in front of an alley, in which two older guys were beating up a younger boy. But the boy knew how to defend himself, although he had apparently not a lot of energy left. Finally, he collapsed.

Now both Tsuna, who noticed that he just stood there the whole time, and one of the attackers, too, who made his buddy draw attention to Tsuna.

"You got a problem, buddy?" Tsuna looked at him with cold, analyzing eyes. Whatever he would say would not change a thing. The guy apparently tried to start a fight.

But Tsuna had now neither the nerve nor the patience for that. He turned around and was about to leave when someone – Tsuna called the two Dumb and Dumber - grabbed him by the shoulder and turned him around.

"I asked, do you have a problem?" The ailing boy moaned on the ground. Would it be the best to just go away? Oh, who was he kidding. That was exactly the kind of situation for which he had hoped.

His hair covered his eyes, as Reborn made it with his hat. "No, but you." Tsuna whispered with an aggressive undertone and hit the guy, who still had his hand on Tsuna shoulder, with the right fist with all his strength into the stomach.

The guy didn't get any air and he staggered back. Tsuna crackled his wrists. That will be fun.

A few minutes later, several passers saw two battered boys running through the streets, screaming about a demon.

Tsuna let his breath out. He had not even a scratch. It has done well. He had kept his aggression too long in there.

"Hey. That really was an extreme fight." The boy picked himself up slowly and walked towards Tsuna. "What is your name?"

"Sawada Ts ..."

"Tsuna! Onii-san "

"Kyoko," the boy and Tsuna cried out simultaneously. Kyoko breathed as if she'd just run a marathon. She looked at the boy.

"What happened, Onii-san?" Kyoko demanded.

"A couple of guys have been waiting for me and surprised me extremely, but then Sawada has emerged here and has fought an extreme battle!," Declared "Onii-san" the situation.

Well, the girl turned to Tsuna. "Thank you for saving my brother, Tsuna-kun. That was ... Tsuna your hands!" Tsuna looked at his hands. They were still bloody from the incident with the photo. They probably thought that this was the aftereffect of the fight.

Tsuna wanted to explain where the injury actually came from when he realized how Kyoko bandaged his hands with a cloth.

"I am, by the way, Sasagawa Ryohei. But you can call me Onii-san, because you're my extreme little brother from now on."

Tsuna was speechless. Kyoko and Ryohei smiled at him so happy that he just couldn't say no. Tsuna smiled also, simply happy to have found people who would accept him into their family. Tears flowed again.

"Then I have only one request, Sawada. Join the boxing club!"

"I would like to, Sawada" Said Ryohei and sat down.

"Hey Tsuna, why don't we all go out after school?" Asked Takeshi.

But Tsuna shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I do something afterwards with Reborn"

"Oh, ha, ha, ha, too bad. Then we just do it another time."

"One more time!," Shouted Reborn as Tsuna dodged the hail of bullets and rolled over on the floor. At the same time, he took out his own gun and took aim at the targets that were built a bit away from here.

In one fluid motion, he fired. One bullet missed its target. "Not good enough. One more time!"

They already did this for hours now. But Tsuna knew that this was necessary if he wanted to have a chance to defend himself. In addition, he was, he admitted, a little bit rusty.

Sighing, he got up and went back to his starting position.

What Tsuna did not notice were their audience, hiding in the surrounding forest. Takeshi's eyes took on a serious tone, as he turned to Ryohei. "Tsuna is training so hard. I don't know why, but I'm quite sure that I won't leave him alone. I will also train. What about you, Senpai?"

Ryohei closed his eyes and nodded. "I will also train to the extreme."

"Do not forget about me!" Announced Gokudera, who was standing next to Takeshi. "I'll train harder than you both together."

"Ha, ha, ha. That sounds good." Takeshi glanced at the person behind him, who leaned slightly away at a tree. "And you, Hibari?"

Hibari stared at Takeshi and then turned around. "Weak herbivores will be bitten to death." Then he was gone.

Takeshi grinned. "Well, yes, we can all agree with that then," he muttered as he watched Tsuna train.
