Chapter 7: The Torture, Revealing, and More Torture

It has only been twenty minutes since Tsuna was dragged into the paperwork of doom and he was already sick of this. His hands were hurting from the many signings, including notes for his counterpart later to read, and his brain was going overload with all the information. Even though he's injured there was no way he was going to try and escape Reborn's gaze. It meant that he will end up going through something worse than this… And he has a feeling it would involve the Mist and Cloud Guardians.

"I think I understand why my older self dislikes this more than Reborn's training," Tsuna thought as he read the paper again in his hand as Gokudera and the others came in with more, "It's never ending!"

"Reborn, can we rest a bit?" He said when he noticed that Lambo was now sprawled out across the sofa in front of him. Reborn looked up from the papers he was holding towards the Thunder Guardian.

"Alright, but only for ten minutes," he said demandingly.

Tsuna smiled up at his tutor and walked towards Lambo, "Come on Lambo let's get something to eat." The teen practically did a victory dance when he ran after his brother figure. The others followed after placing the paperwork inside the room. Reborn smirked under his fedora happy in the progressive speed Tsuna was now learning.

"You certainly got a lot of things done," Reborn looked at the stack of paper left on the table, "Considering the many changes from your time and now, Dame-Tsuna," At that a scary smirk rounded his lips as a devious thought went through his mind.

"God, I thought I was going to die under all of that!" Tsuna exclaimed as he stretched out his arms.

"You did great Jyuudaime," Gokudera said kindly walking next to him.

"You did an extreme job Sawada!" Ryohei yelled.

"Yeah Tsuna," Yamamoto agreed which started another two-sided argument, and negotiator, between them.

"Come on Young Vongola," Lambo started, "If we don't get away soon, Bakadera and that scary boxer will start their fight and won't stop before Reborn's time limit."

Tsuna agreed and ran down the hall, glancing behind him for a few seconds, to the kitchen. And, just as Lambo said it would, the sound of bombs exploding and yelling of 'Extreme' began. They both entered the room to see Haru, Kyoko, Bianchi, I-Pin, and Chrome busily cooking the food. Kyoko turned to put the pot on the cart and smiled when she spotted Tsuna.

"Tsu-kun, Lambo-kun…! Are you finished with the paperwork?" she asked making the others turn to acknowledge his presence.

"Yeah," they both said, but at the same time their stomachs growled.

"Ha-hi, Tsuna-san and Lambo-chan should sit down, we will get a snack for you soon," Haru said as she brought out plates.

"Alright," Tsuna answered as he walked towards the table at the side of the kitchen and sit down. Lambo followed suit and grinned happily since he gets to hang out with his big brother alone on the table. However, his eyes wondered towards the girl with the two pigtails. Tsuna took a glance at Lambo and then tracked it towards I-Pin, making him smile in realization in what the stare was.

"W-what…?" Lambo flustered when he saw the big grin on Tsuna's face.

"Oh, nothing," Tsuna said teasingly, remembering the phrase that boys pick on girls because they like them, "I am just happy to see that you are finally showing your feelings about I-Pin and not teasing her like you always do."

Lambo's face turned to a neon shade of red at the mention of the Chinese Hitman's name. Tsuna kept grinning as the girls brought the food. "Wow, you guys are still amazing with your cooking skills," he said as he started to munch on the food, peaking out of the corner of his eyes to see I-Pin's full blush as she handed the red Lambo his food.

"Of course they would, Tsuna," what Bianchi said next brought the little boss to start choking on his food, "Because your future wives wouldn't want to lose to your mother."

"Bianchi-san, you're not supposed to say that!" Both Haru and Kyoko yelled together with full on blushes. Chrome and Bianchi started to giggle.

"I didn't learn to cook to beat Tsu-kun's mom at-" = "If Gokudera-kun finds out that you said that he would-" Kyoko and Haru started and cut off at the same time, clamping their mouths shut at what they said. Tsuna came out of his coughing fit and looked at the both of them in surprise on what information he just heard.

However, before he could say anymore the door slammed open to reveal an angry Reborn. He paled immediately and looked at his watch.

"Crap, I forgot about the time limit."

In swift movements, Reborn grabbed the crying Tsuna and the eating Lambo, by their collars, out of the kitchen and back down the hallway. They passed Ryohei, Gokudera, and Yamamoto with large bumps on their heads in where Reborn had hit them. All three of them were fixing the damaged hallway during their fight. They passed the double doors and headed down another hallway until they met a metal one that opened automatically to let them in.

Reborn straightened them up and made them face the open area in front of him. They became petrified when they saw the two figures standing in the middle and facing away from each other.

"I would like you two to train with these two," Reborn said lowering his head between them, looking ahead. The two figures instantly turned their heads towards the trio at the entrance. Both of them smiled when their eyes landed on one.

Lambo noticing this started to move away from him, "Gomen-ne, Young Vongola," in an instant he ran off leaving Tsuna, Reborn, and the two figures in the middle.

"Kufufufu, I knew we would meet again young Sawada Tsunayoshi," Mukuro smiled as his triton staff appeared.

"I wonder if you have gotten stronger, Herbivore," Hibari whipped out his tonfas.

Reborn patted Tsuna on the shoulders making his head mechanically turn, "Good luck Dame-Tsuna."

"Eh…"

At that the two figures rushed towards him.

"USOOOO~!"

(Younger Tsuna: one hour and ten minutes)
