False Accusations

"Good morning, Reborn" Tsuna muttered sleepily to himself as he came into the kitchen and yawned immediately afterwards with one hand at his mouth.

Tsuna's last days consisted of nothing more than eating, exercising with Reborn and a little sleep, but it began to pay off. Still, that did not change his current desire to lay down in his bed and sleep for a few more hours. But he also knew - and much to his regret - that Reborn would shoot him rather than let Tsuna go back to sleep. Stupid Reborn!

So Tsuna tried to make the best of his situation. He took the milk out of the refrigerator, a spoon and a bowl and began to set up a tasty cereal for breakfast.

Food such as bread or omelets were stolen by Reborn to his heart's desire, but that was with cereal a bit more difficult. Anyway, Tsuna got to breakfast.

Lambo was most of the time away and busy with whatever he was doing.

He sat down opposite Reborn, who was reading a letter and totally ignored Tsuna. Normally, Tsuna would not care – more like, be happy about it – but he was somehow curious as to who writes Reborn, the insect whisperer, a letter.

"Hey Reborn, say, from whom is the letter?" Tsuna asked Reborn, while he eats two bites of his cereals.

Reborn looked up from the apparently very interesting piece of paper and looked at him. "He's from … a friend" Reborn replied.

Tsuna looked at him in amazement. "You have friends?"

Of course, this comment brought him a whack on the head. Only stupid that Tsuna had just put some of his cereal into his mouth. Due to the hit, he spat it out ... and it goes directly to Reborn, who looked pretty pissed off now.

Tsuna laughed nervously and moved slowly to the back of the chair. "He he he, I swear this was an accident."

A pistol appeared in Reborn's hand. "Prepare to die, Dame Tsuna."

"HIIIIIE!" A scream that could be heard throughout the city this morning.

After Reborn had cleaned himself with a towel, he began to tell Tsuna of the letter: "Vendicare was attacked last night and destroyed to good part. But despite everything, only two occupants managed to escape successfully. A boy and a girl. It is believed that the two have planned this attack with the help of outsiders for weeks. Take three guesses who our mysterious attacker are."

Tsuna, who was surprised by the news a bit, finally replied, "You surely not mean the?"

"But I do. The mysterious organization, Adriana had been trying to hunt down."

Tsuna only now realized how powerful this organization must be when they can even put the Vendicare prison almost in ruins. He wanted answers about the disappearance of Adriana. But could he really compete with such an enemy?

Tsuna shook his head. Moreover, he shouldn't think of that. He looked at the clock. Hayato and Takeshi would show up here any second to accompany him to school. That should provide some distraction.

His estimate was true. Takeshi and Hayato were both accurate to the second outside his door. In recent days they have learned to get along without something exploding right in front of them.

Tsuna greeted them both and they went toward school. Takeshi told of his problems in math and Hayato tried to explain it to him in his most complicated way - easy to say, that did not work and dynamite was in the air.

They were near the school when an explosion a few blocks away could be heard and dust was whirled into the air. His friends looked a little uncertain in the direction, but Tsuna ran. He still heard as Takeshi called after him, but he was too far away to even understand it.

Tsuna went through, while running, potential hazards and protocols for behavior that Adriana had drummed into him when he was younger.

Quickly, because he had reached the place of the explosion and hid behind a vice flown table of a café. Even the dust had passed for the most part.

He could make out four figures. Two had strange hats and long cloaks on, chains flew around them – Vindice. The other two were a girl and a boy with even stranger hair styles. Tsuna remembered his conversation with Reborn.

"Vendicare was attacked last night and destroyed to a good part. But despite everything, only two occupants managed to escape successfully. A boy and a girl."

Therefore that had to be the refugees. But they did not look so threatening at all. Rather exhausted and tired. But Tsuna knew better than to judge someone by its cover. So watching it was for now.

"You will bitter regret your attack on Vendicare." Grumbled one of the Vindice and attacked with a chain. In the hands of the boy appeared s trident and suddenly a wall of flames shot out of the ground and blocked the attack.

An illusion!

Shortly after that the fire dried up and the boy would be toppled to the ground when the girl had not supported him. Tsuna felt sorry for them.

"Kufufufu. I assure you that we had nothing to do with that."

And Tsuna knew that he spoke the truth. It was just a feeling. He had to help them, but how? His gaze fell on the shop next to the cafe. A mask shop. Perfect.

"Resist only makes it worse." The second Vindice made himself ready to attack, knowing that the boy could not create another illusion. But before it happened, he had to stumble back. A bullet struck a few inches away from him into the ground.

"And what if he's telling the truth?" Asked a boy with a gun in his hand. His face was hidden by an orange mask with a grinning face.

Without hesitation or asking who he was, the Vindice attacked him. Shoot first, then ask.

Tsuna jumped on top of the chains and ran along them, while they pursued him further and they came dangerously close, before he jump over the Vindice. In the jump, he turned around, took aim and fired. The bullets were surrounded by a orange fire and cut the chains like butter.

This technique he had worked on for days with Reborn. The Vindice, who had not expected to encounter real resistance, had to retreat and was therefore completely open to Tsuna. Unfortunately, the second Vindice attacked from behind.

Crap! I had completely forgotten. Such a rookie mistake.

Tsuna still tried to dodge, but it was too late. But instead to be drilled with a chain, Tsuna heard a muffled clink.

Behind him, back to back, Takeshi stood with a sword in his hand, with which he deflected the chains. And also wore mask. Tsuna felt just a little overwhelmed.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-yes, I am." Tsuna stuttered. "But the sword?"

"I ... we have trained. Whatever happens, we will not let you down."

Tsuna fired at the first Vindice. "But ...?"

"Accept it better, because we don't go!" Cried another voice, which belonged without question to Hayato. Immediately dynamite exploded in several places and in the protection of the mist the three masked heroes built themselves up before the refugees.

"You'll regret that!" Threatened the Vindice before they disappeared.

"Why did you help us?" Asked a quiet voice. Tsuna turned to the two. The girl had spoken.

"Because I believe you. You told the truth. You're persecuted unjustly, under accusation of misrepresentation."

Tsuna leaned against a wall in the hallway next to the dresser.

The boy and the girl had introduced themselves, after a stunned moment, as Mukuro and Chrome. Takeshi had offered to take care of them for a while.

As Tsuna got home – at school was not to think – he saw a suitcase in the hallway – Reborn's suitcase.

Tsuna felt like being on a journey into the past. Now he waited here.

Reborn arrived a few minutes later. "You really want to go without saying goodbye?" Tsuna asked, almost stripped of all emotions.

"Of course not. But I have my reasons."

"I am sick and tired of your reasons and excuses!" Reborn didn't say anything to Tsuna, so Tsuna decided to take the lead.

"Why didn't you mention anything about it at breakfast?" Tsuna felt a lump forming in his chest. "Do you want to leave me alone again? Want to leave like Adriana?" Tsuna was almost yelling now.

Suddenly, two arms were around him and pulled him into an embrace. "I'll never leave you, Tsuna. You're my little brother. I will always be there for you. I promise."

"Big brother", Tsuna sniffed, but calmed down immediately. "I know that you'll never leave me. And you know how I know? Because I'll never leave you, that is." Tsuna pulled a backpack out from behind the dresser. "I'll come with you."

"What?!"
