Chapter 5: A Meeting and Evil Plotting

"Don't think you can get away from me Sawada Tsunayoshi," Hibari said as he swiped one of his tonfas, but missed as Tsuna ducked.

"Give me a break will you!" He yelled back as he jetted backwards. Just when he thought he was safe, a blast of flames from Xanxus's flames came at him from behind. Quickly he avoided it, but regretted it when he saw the sizable hole on the inn's wall. "That's great, another bill for my younger self to pay," he said in annoyance.

When another set of attacks started, his anger level started to rise as more of the inn's interior was damaged. When it finally reached its peak, he had enough. In only a few seconds he grabbed the two, flying towards a window outside the inn, and slammed them across the grass floor.

"I finally knocked them out,"Tsuna panted as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead. Both Xanxus and Hibari were on the grass unable to move with exhaustion because of their relentless attacks. They both clearly felt the different level of power that the future Tsuna possessed compared to the present and admitted they lost… only to themselves of course.

"Jyuudaime, that was great!" Gokudera said totally enthralled by the victory of his boss.

"A win for Tsuna," Yamamoto laughed as he squatted down over the Prefect who glared evilly at the baseball ace.

"AN EXTREME WIN SAWADA, NOW FIGHT ME!" Ryohei screamed pulling punches in the air with excitement of the battle. This brought another bicker between him and Gokudera. Yamamoto, again, was trying to get them to stop.

Tsuna waved his hand in disagreement and went inside the inn towards his room, leaving the three alone with their argument. All the workers nervously watched him pass by, not sure if what they saw were something of a dream or a nightmare. He ignored them, knowing he can't talk his way out of it. "Even though this is the Vongola's Property, the people working here are still from normal families that are not involved in the mafia."

Once he entered his room he closed the door behind him. He looked down at his attire, he noticed the battered yukata and sighed, "I'm going to take a dip to relax." He grabbed another yukata, and headed towards the hot springs area. Tsuna ignored the many whispers of the people passing by and walked faster. Because he was concentrating on relaxing in the hot springs he didn't notice the incoming person ahead of him.

"Kya!" a girl with amber hair slammed into him and almost fell over. Tsuna caught her just in time before she hit the floor and brought her back onto her feet.

"Are you alright?" he asked, his hands still on her shoulders. However, when she looked up he immediately let her go. The person he was holding was none other than Kyoko. "K-Kyoko, I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going!"

She blinked, confused in how the person, wearing a beaten yukata, in front of her knew her name. Tsuna stared back noting the confused expression on her face. "I guess she doesn't recognize me. It's no wonder since I am ten years older."

"Kyoko-chan, what's wrong?" another girl ran towards them with two others following.

"Crap, Bianchi, Haru, and I-Pin are here too? Better get out of here while I still can," He thought quickly as he bowed an apology then ran the other direction towards the showers.

"Who was that just now?" Bianchi asked as she, and the others, walked up beside Kyoko. She wasn't paying any attention; too preoccupied figuring out who that man was.

"He looked familiar somehow," Kyoko said staring towards the direction he left her. All the girls looked at her curiously then at each other, not sure what to say. Kyoko thought of the man's face and compared it with the people she knew. When an image of Tsuna popped up she covered her mouth to suppress her surprise. As if her legs had a mind of their own she ran towards his direction leaving the others surprised on the spot.

Tsuna's run staggered until it reached to a walk, "To see Kyoko at that age again," he paused as an image of her crossed his mind, "Ah, what to do? I don't know what to say to her considering the events I faced in my time."

"What events, Tsuna-kun?"

Tsuna froze at the sudden voice behind him. Stiffly he turned his head to see Kyoko behind him looking at him with full acknowledgement on 'who' he was. He relaxed and smiled back, "Nothing," he quickly thought of something to change the subject about their future relationship, "I'm just surprised that you figured out who I am."

"Not right away. It took me a while to compare you from your younger self," she said remembering the explanation of the Ten-Year bazooka during their Ten-Years into the future adventure. Tsuna mentally did a victory on the change of topic. "So how did you get here, Tsuna-kun?"

"Ah, that…." he looked down in embarrassment when he remembering how messy he looked, "has to wait until I shower."

"Oh, that's true," she said with a laugh, "I'll wait for you in the lobby then."

"Alright," he said as she turned away and he headed for the showers.

Unknowingly to the both of them, Reborn came up from a hidden floor riser with an evil smirk, ready for the fun to begin.

(Time left is one hour and fifty minutes.)

Author's note

Sorry if this one seems rushed and not as great as the other chapter. I just couldn't think of anything great or epic for this chapter.
