Chapter 5: Meeting Tsuna's Home Tutor
When Tsuna woke up in a own bed with Reborn and Sora looking down at him. He tried to hold down a 'Hieee' (Which failed horribly). "Hieee! Re-Reborn, So-Sora-san. Where am I, what happen, where's Kaa-san?"
Reborn simply waited for Tsuna to finished his rambling (0-0 impossible!) to answer all of his questions. He replied with a slight chuckle, "You're in your house, you fainted at the market, and mama found a kind ossan who carried you home. She is currently making dinner for all of us and the kind ossan. It should be done soon. Oh yeah, she brought back a friend of yours home also."
Tsuna looked a-little confused to say the least. He didn't have any friends besides Sora-san, and he was pretty sure that was only because they were related. Tsuna slowly got out of the bed to see if he knew this ossan and/or his 'friend'. Once he got down the stairs ( by tripping of course.) he looked towards the kitchen and saw the man that opened the door at the cake shop sitting at the table stiffly ( at the boss's house after being slightly rude when meeting her and being a minor character usually means horrible things).
Tsuna ( after getting up) started walking towards the living room where he saw Kano past out on the couch Tsuna just stood there for a second and realized that Kano-san's hair was the same as Sora-san's. The only difference was that Sora's was as messy as his. He then screamed, "Hieee! Kaa-san why i-is Kano-san here? What happen?"
Nana walked in the room with her smile being unfazed by her son's sudden scream, calmly answered, "After you and Kano-san met up, you turned and walked into this kind ossan. With him just coming from his part time job as a butcher he was covered in blood, causing you and Kano to faint at the sight. He apologized saying he would change and help carry you two and some baggage." Tsuna knew she was covering up what they really did so he just accepted it as it was so he wouldn't blow their cover.
"Uhh." Tsuna was surprised when he heard Kano started stirring. Tsuna hadn't really pay attention to Kano earlier until now, so he notice that his hair was a mix of blonde and red, pale skin, and a lean muscle figure. He looked more like an American than anything. When Kano sat up Tsuna saw that his eyes were normal but had a very intense glare in them (like Hibari's if you want an example.) and his eyes, which were a reddish green, was now glaring at Tsuna.
After a minute of the intense glaring Tsuna spoke up saying, "Ka-Kaa-san brought us here after we fainted. I don't know why you were brought here but you are free to have dinner with us or leave any time you wish."
"How many people are here?" Kano demanded more than asking. Tsuna blinked not really expecting a question. He just thought he would leave. Tsuna then began counting all of the people he knew was here. There was him, Kano-san, Reborn-kun, Kaa-san, ossan, and Sora-san that he knew of.
"Si-six, including you I believe." Tsuna said stuttered slightly making him seem even more Dame than already proven. Kano face turned even more sour than already shown.
"I hate large groups." Kano said while getting off the couch he was laid on. Once he got off the couch he grabbed his shoes preparing leave. He stop to add, "Tell the leader I thanked her for her kindness."
Tsuna just nodded his head watching Kano leave afterwards. He then heard his Kaa-san asking, "Tsu~kun what was that?"
Tsuna walked to the kitchen seeing everyone at the table ready for dinner. "It was Kano-san. He said he hates large groups so he got up and left. He also said thank you for your kindness," Tsuna replied sitting down at his seat. Dinner was pretty normal, Reborn stealing food from Sora, Tsuna watching in amazement, Nana giggling and the ossan watching stiffly from his seat. The ossan then thanked for the food and tried to leave, but Nana with a dark look on her face said she would see him out. The ossan's face paled, to most of the people in the room's confusion.
Once Nana was left the room, Reborn turned to Tsuna with a sadistic eyes. Tsuna stood up about to excuse himself when Reborn announced, "Dame-Tsuna. I got a friend of mine coming here to help tutor you." Is what Reborn finally said after having a mini-stare contest with Tsuna.
"Wh-what!? Why?" Tsuna whined not happy with having a tutor after seeing how his brother's tutor does things.
"Part of a thank you gift to mama, and the other part is that I have to to spend a lot of time with this baka." Reborn said smacking Sora's head. He then added, "Don't worry, she's second only to me when it comes to tutoring her students."
"Her? My tutor's a female? What's she like?" Tsuna asked now curious.
Reborn smirked, "Dame-Tsuna's a hentai, (AN: hentai=pervert) who knew?" Tsuna face glowed a red color with rage and embarrassment. When he was about to yell at Reborn, he started again with, "To your questions, yes it's a female, she's been trained in the military so she hates people can't follow orders, and she's in denial that she's in-love with a kora-bastard named Colonello," after saying that Reborn smirked and glanced out of the window.
Sora saw that Reborn was teasing Tsuna, which made him angry but as he was worn out from Reborn's hellish tutoring did nothing. He did notice that Reborn eyes had more of a pleased look while tormenting Tsuna than they did when he was tormenting him, which made him wonder whether or not that was a good thing.
Tsuna looked confused while asking, "What do you mean she's in denial that she in-love with a ko- I mean, a guy named Colonello, and what is her name?"
"Her name is Lal Mirch and it means exactly what it sounds like. She won't admit her feelings for her former student and she's so hopelessly stubborn that she herself haven't realized it." Reborn explained flawlessly. Once Reborn finished his smirk widen slightly and his eyes narrowed slightly. He then jumped onto Tsuna's head and mumbled, "She's here."
Tsuna was barely able to mutter out a "Wha-," before his intuition started going insane telling him to 'GET DOWN NOW'. Tsuna not wasting anytime followed it's order. The second before his knees hit the ground, a bullet flew through the window that was in-front of him and passed through his hair. Tsuna would have thought he was seeing things if the window glass didn't shattered in a way to form letters saying 'that was a test, we meet tomorrow'
Reborn looked down at Tsuna and said, "Don't mind that, it's her way of seeing how well her student already are and how much she expects from them." Reborn then jumped off of Tsuna's head and picked up the plastic bullet that broke the window. "It doesn't looks like shes expects much from you considering you only got one shot. With Colonello, she used all of the guns she had with her; that's the total of a small military base if you didn't know." Reborn looked at Tsuna and saw that he was thinking 'Is that a good thing or a bad thing?' he replied with, "Which ever way you take it."
"Reborn can read minds." Sora announced not even looking up to see his brother's face. He was then kicked out of his chair by Reborn who looked annoyed.
"That was my line Sorbaka." was Reborn words of reason. Tsuna not wanting to stay much longer excused himself for him to sleep.
Once Tsuna left Nana came back in with a smile of satisfaction instead of her usual smile. She looked around not seeing Tsuna and seeing Sora and Reborn fighting and her window broken. Which ticked her off considering the window was new. She then put on a face of concern and ran to the glass and asked, "Oh my! What happen to the window? Where's Tsuna?"
Reborn saw that Nana was concerned but didn't look like real worry. What shocked him was how well she hid it. Deciding it would be best to kept quiet for now and to answer her questions. "Mama, Tsuna went to bed and someone threw this at the window," showing Nana the plastic bullet that Lal fired. Reborn then saw Nana's face show true worry for a second before going back to the original fake concern she had. Reborn then said, "Don't worry Mama, I'll get the guy who did this."
Nana's face then went to show real relief while saying, "Thank you Reborn. I know you will protect my boys with all you got." Reborn smirked at the words while thinking 'Well maybe not all I got but those who mess with my student will face my wrath.'
The Next Day
Tsuna got up late for the first time in a week. He was on the ground with a head-ache and red face. When he looked up he saw Reborn with a smile looking down at him. Tsuna saw that Reborn was holding what looked liked a hammer but he blinked and it was Leon (Reborn's lizard). Reborn then said, "Ciaossu Dame-Tsuna. I was in fact holding a hammer and you don't want to be late for school do you? If not then hurry up and get dressed."
Tsuna blinked before he look at his clock to see he only had ten minutes to do everything that he needed to do before he had to leave so that wouldn't be late for school. Tsuna in those ten minutes was able to change his clothes, brush his teeth, eat some toast, and grab his tic-tacs container* (in-case of sudden bad breath right? Wrong). Even though he didn't need one; he always took one before school. It helped him prepare for the worse.
By the time he got to the school he had only two minutes before the bell rang. He was about to enter the doors of the school when the bell decided to ring early. The second the bell rang Tsuna dashed inside and hurried to get to his classroom before the crowd devour him and make him late. He arrived at his classroom two minutes before the bell rang again and then sat at his seat with a sigh of relief.
He then grabbed his tic-tac container and popped some into his palm. When he felt more weight in his palm, but he thought that it was just a few more tic-tacs then his usual. Without a second thought he swallowed the tic-tacs. It was then that he realized that it was only one big pill type thing. He quickly looked at the container in his hand and saw the label say 'Chill Pill, will work for 12 hours straight! Contact Vongola pharmacist for any questions.'
Tsuna sat up and would have freaked out, but he suddenly felt all of his anxiety and nerves be washed away. His big eyes narrowed slightly and his mouth let out a small sigh before becoming a somewhat bored expression. (Imagine him in HDW mode without the flame on his head and his eyes are still brown.) He decided to stare out of the window to pass the time. It was at that time when the school bell to rang again.
The teacher walked in with a bored look and said, "Class we got a new student. Please come in and introduce yourself." A teen with silver almost white hair enter with a scowl entered. The teen let out a 'tch' before glaring at Sora with a look that scared the men and made the women fawn over him. "Uh, ok. His name is Gokudera Hayato. He just moved here from Italy so take care of him. Gokudera-kun, please sit behind Tsunayoshi-kun please. Tsunayoshi-kun please stand up."
Tsuna simply put his hand on his desk pushing himself up with a, "Yes Sensei," in a voice that was slightly deeper then his normal. His uniform was slightly un-tucked and messed up from the running he did before class. He then focused his eyes on Gokudera's. His focus eyes almost seem dead as he stared into Gokudera's eyes. Some people were so shocked to see Dame-Tsuna looking, well, like that. Tsuna and Gokudera didn't hear some girls saying stuff like, "Is that really Dame-Tsuna?" "He looks...good." "He almost looks as good as Gokudera." etc.
Sora almost fell out of his chair (which was beside Tsuna's) when he saw his Onii-chan look like a male model. What freaked him out more was that he was almost glaring at a someone who looked dangerous. If he had to guess, Reborn was probably behind it.
Gokudera was glaring at the kid with all his might when he saw him. What got him mad though was that he was just looking right back him as if he wasn't even there. He 'tch'ed and started down to the chair behind him, but he stop at Sora's desk and kicked him over. He then growled out so only Sora could hear, "If you're the next Vongola boss then it's future is dark. Meet me behind the gym after school."
Sora was getting scared when he heard the Vongola being mention. If the guy knew about them then he must have ties to the mafia. The thing is, even though the guys looked dangerous, he felt like he was more of a puppy without an owner then anything.
Tsuna was about to do something but before he could his intuition was screaming to, "HIDE BEHIND SOMETHING NOW!" So he got under his desk that was next to the window and stayed there for five seconds. That was when he heard three things hit the floor. His intuition calmed down and he sat in his seat. The teacher was about to say something but the two windows by Tsuna's desk broke in a way so the words 'meet me on the roof after school' appeared.
Everyone besides Gokudera and Tsuna (Because of the chill pill) freaked out. The teacher had told the disciplinary committee about the shattering and they said they would deal with the person who did it. Tsuna was quiet about the three plastic bullets he found on the ground after the window broke, but he felt Hibari's eyes on him watching. So he bowed to him and went back into the classroom. Hibari couldn't help but think, 'interesting herbivore.'
After that the day went on without a hitch. Well for Tsuna and everyone else besides Sora. Gokudera was glaring holes into the back of his head making hard for him to focused. Tsuna however couldn't get more focus. He could think clearly and was sure of himself. So when the day ended he went rooftop without a second thought. When he got there he saw a baby with blue hair, goggles, what looked like scar on it's right cheek, a cape, and some combat gear.
"So you're my new student huh?" The baby began, "I'm Lal Mirch and, according to Reborn you're horrible in both sports, studies and you have barely any friends. He also said you seem to have good potential for becoming something. I haven't really seen it but you have been able to show some potential by being able to avoid the bullets that I fired. I will now test your ability to fight."
Tsuna did not like were this was going at all. First his tutor turns out to be an infant like reborn and now he will have to fight her with nothing except his fist. He didn't like fighting period, but he knows that he won't be able to avoid one with her. So he stood there waiting for her first strike.
Lal's hand started moving slightly and his intuition screamed, "RUN RIGHT (the direction) NOW!" and he followed its advice. As soon as he started running Lal starting firing shoots at him like a pro, even while running Tsuna got hit on his arms and a few times on his legs. About a minute into the fight explosions started to shake the building, catching both Tsuna and Lal by surprise and threw them off guard. Tsuna recovered first and saw an opening to get close to Lal and he took it.
Lal had a small smirk when she saw the teen come running at her. She grabbed her pistol that she hid under her cape and fired it directly at Tsuna's chest. It hit dead center of Tsuna's chest making him stubble backwards. He tripped, his knees in the air and he's trying push up into a sitting position. Lal then jumped on his knees pointing her pistol at Tsuna's face. She smirked saying, "Checkmate Dame-Tsuna."
Tsuna grinned and replied with, "Not yet." Lal was confused and lowered her guard slightly. When she did, Tsuna kicked his legs out making Lal lose any stable position she might have had previously, Tsuna then grabbed her arms and rolled so he was on top. His smirk then grew into a small smile and said, "Now it is."
Lal with her own small smirk then said, "I guess I underestimated you Dame-Tsuna, I guess I can get serious know." With that said Tsuna put more force on Lal's arms so she couldn't use them. She smirked and raised one of her legs and kicked Tsuna's left wrist making him let go and making him drop to his left side. With her right arm now free, Lal grabbed Tsuna's right wrist and rolled from below Tsuna. She was still holding onto his wrist and jumped onto Tsuna's back forcing his arm upwards to force him onto the ground. With her free hand she grabbed her rifle and pointed it directly at Tsuna's head. "It looks like I won," she said with a smirk. The explosions that were happening in the background seemed to have had died down after she said that.
Reborn sighed a sigh of relief when Sorbaka actually accepted Gokudera as a friend. He thought he would have to kill him for a second. He then picked up his cellphone and called Lal. It ringed once and she picked it up saying, "What the hell do you want Reborn?"
He smiled and in his innocent voice sounding sad said, "I just wanted to see how well Dame-Tsuna for your first meeting? You don't have to be so mean Lal." Reborn could tell that she was getting mad. He just loved messing with her.
"The brat did pretty well. He was able to pin me down when I was using 10% of my power. I have to say, he does show good potential, it looks like I might stay a little longer than I expected." Lal replied a little angry, but turned into slight happiness by the end.
"That good huh?" Reborn asked a-little excited. He doesn't know why, but he has expecting good things from the kid.
"Yeah, either way I'll talk to you back at the house, alright?" Lal asked somewhat serious. She couldn't help but wonder if her student's brother had high potential as him.
"Yeah, and he doesn't, close but not as high." Reborn answered reading her mind over the phone.
"Dammit Reborn stop reading my mind!" Lal screamed into the phone. Hopefully destroying his eardrum.
"No, and it still intact thank you." Reborn answered the statement while reading Lal's mind again. Before she could reply though he said, "Meet you at the house." and ended the call. He then looked down to see Sora explaining to Gokudera that he only wants a friend not a right-hand man. Reborn decided to cut into Sora's pointless argument with, "Oi Sorbaka, Gokudera, let's go home. I have a friend coming over and it's a good time to introduce Gokudera to mama and Dame-Tsuna."
Gokudera nodded his head vigorously while Sora only nodded his head while sighing. Reborn smiled, not only did he his student get a loyal right-hand man but he also got Lal to tortu-tutor Dame-Tsuna. Four people to keep him entertained. Reborn couldn't help but think something like, 'I'm really glad I did this mission.'
