Chapter 6: The Mountain of….

"That hurts, Reborn!" Tsuna yelled as his adult-form tutor applied another bandage to another wound on his arm, caused by the multiple attacks of Hibari.

"You should be getting used to this by now, Dame-Tsuna;" Reborn said as another was applied, "Considering all the things that you have been going through in your stories."

Tsuna immediately removed himself from Reborn's grip. His demon-of-a-teacher had graciously saved him from hell, but he was pestered in spilling his entire journey towards defeating Byakuran. Because of that, the unpleasant memories of losing Yuni and Gamma during his fight with Byakuran resurfaced. However, he could only get through them because of the miracle after their sacrifice.

Reborn slapped on the wound he bounded causing the depressed Tsuna to start cursing at the pain. "What the heck was that for Reborn?" he managed to say as he continued to curse.

"That depressed look doesn't suit you, so quit it," he said avoiding a thrown bandage roll. However, he didn't notice the other roll after it when it smacked into his face. This caused Tsuna to jump in joy in being able to hit his tutor after the many things that he did to him. His joy didn't last long when he saw gentle smile on the man's face. He whimpered in fear as Reborn walked towards him.

"Since you feel fine, why don't we go somewhere your older counterpart fears the most besides my training, Dame-Tsuna?"

"R-Reborn, d-don't be like that n-now," he stuttered when he heard those words. His strides began to close up the distance between them, "C-can't you handle a single hit like that?"

Reborn's hand quickly grabbed his wrist dragging the crying boy with him towards the door out of the room. Tsuna's friends scattered when the door burst open revealing the scene before them. Tsuna cried out for them to help, but none could, or wanted, to get near the angered hitman. However, they did follow them towards the room that they all knew to be a hell hole for Tsuna of this time.

"Gomen-ne, Jyuudaime," Gokudera said on the way at the tearing Tsuna, "But we can't do anything with Reborn like that."

"Yeah, Tsuna," Yamamoto agreed along with the nods of his other friends behind him.

"You guys!" He yelled as the others continued to apologize for not being able to help.

When they arrived at the double doors, which Tsuna was afraid to be a torture room of training or something worse, his tears had stopped. Even though he wanted to be released from Reborn's grip it was impossible. So he sucked up his courage and followed…. Though, he was screaming in fear inside his mind.

Reborn's head turned towards the boy in his grip which was starting to frighten him further. "Alright, Tsuna, since your older self isn't here you will have to do."

"Eh, w-what do you m-mean?" Tsuna said shaking in his shoes at the statement. He looked at his friends, which were smiling painfully at him knowing fully well what was behind the doors. The brunette glanced back at the hitman and almost wanted to scream when he saw the dangerous aura surrounding him. Reborn used his free hand to open one of the double doors making Tsuna close his eyes in fear.

When he didn't hear anything mechanical or barking's of Chihuahuas he slowly opened his eyes. He soon regretted it when he saw the many piles of paper on a long wooden desk with the Vongola's symbol. "No, don't tell me that I'm going to-"

"That's right Dame-Tsuna," Reborn answered when he read his student's mind, "Your future self has been left with all this paperwork since he was in his suspended sleep a few weeks ago."

Tsuna turned his head up at the hitman slowly, knowing fully well on what was going on in the man's head. Bullets of sweat started to pour down his face waiting for the judgment.

"So you will be working on it as punishment," Reborn said still smiling. Everyone closed up their ears knowing what was coming next.

"SONNA!"

(Younger Tsuna: an hour and forty minutes left)

Short but funny… I'm sorry Tsuna for putting you up with this, but it's your everyday life.

Hope you like it.

(Sonna: means "This can't be happening"…. I think…..)
