Chapter 11: Didn't Expect This

Tsuna was staring at his reflection making sure that the buttons were in their correct placed and positioning the tie of his suit. His hair was intact and not on the ground ready for donation. Instead it was in a low ponytail making the length seem longer than before.

"Kyoko-chan, is scary when she gets angry," he shuddered at the event a minute before.

~Flashback~

Reborn was inches away from snipping his head off when Kyoko came between them and smacked him in the face with a book she grabbed nearby. The fedora flew up, landing on its owners face after falling backwards with dull eyes and a rectangular red mark across his face. Tsuna glanced up at the girl, clearly an angry aura surrounded her despite the smile on her face.

"Reborn-kun, if you do that you will look more like a pervert than a person trying to help."

"K-Kyoko-chan?" Tsuna called out to her wondering if that what he just saw truly happen. Shouichi and Spanner were almost at the corner hugging each other; waterworks of fear fell from their faces until her anger dissipated.

"You should just tie it back Tsu-kun," she said bringing out some clothes, placing them on an empty table, "You guys better get changed within two minutes and meet us at the dining room." Everyone nodded except for the hitman lying on the floor. Kyoko gave a smile of acknowledgment before grabbing the back of the tutor's suit and drag him out of the door.

"Scary," Everyone said at once.

~End Flashback~

Tsuna was the last to leave the development room. Both of the engineers had somehow dressed and left quietly without him knowing. He arrived at the double doors, which was fixed quickly since his last visit an hour, or two, ago. His knees were shaking, however, he inhaling deeply ignoring the delicious scent behind them and pushed the doors open.

"Surprise!" confetti poppers popped in front of the startled young boss and littering his head with pieces and strings of paper. Alost everyone he knew was in the room and behind them was a banner saying, 'Thank you for your hard work Tsuna'. Without any warning they pulled the young boy and started the party.

It was a crazy event as it was in the past. Lussuria was talking away with Dino's subordinates, flirting with a few of them of course. Dino was trying to calm Hibari down as the prefect glared dangerously at Mukuro and Chrome's direction. Ken was chowing down on a mountain of food, with Chikusa silently eating next to him. Ryohei, liking the spirit Ken was producing, decided to join in and start a contest on who can chow down the most food. Xanxus was sitting on his chair and fanned by Lavi throughout the event. Haru, Kyoko, and Bianchi (wearing her goggles) dragged Chrome away from Mukuro's side. They were trying to get her to eat a little of each of the cakes on the dessert area. Gokudera was being annoyed by Belphegor and Yamamoto, which resulted in him pulling out his dynamite. Viper was trying to talk to Fran for some odd reason. Reborn, Colonnello, and Lal were talking and were soon joined in by Fon. Skull joined in as well but was completely ignored. Lambo and I-Pin were together with Fuuta eating together. Giannini, Spanner, and Irie were looking at blueprints snacking on the food on large plates next to them. Basil was chatting with Iemitsu and Nana, surprising Tsuna in her knowledge on the mafia's works. Lancia was just quiet in the corner and the drunken Shamal was hitting on the girls throwing unnecessary comments around.

It seemed like party would never end as Tsuna chatted with everyone. However, it finally stopped when Reborn patted the boy on the back breaking everyone's attention towards them.

"It's almost time for you to go, Dame-Tsuna," his tutor said pointing at the clock behind him. Only five minutes left was left before he goes back home to the past. Everyone heard the words and started to gather around him, excluding the rebelling few.

"Good luck in the past, Tsuna!"

"Tell myself to train harder, Jyuudaime!"

"Say the same to myself too, Sawada!"

"Keep giving me grape candy even when I come over and visit okay!"

"Good luck, Tsuna-san!"

"Don't overwork yourself, Tsu-kun!"

"Boss, will do fine,"

"Don't make your mother worry either, right Nana?"

"Hai,"

"Keep my brother from being reckless and perverted like his tutor here,"

"Tsuna-nii, don't worry about anything else okay!"

"I will look forward to see you again in the past, Sawada-san, even when I'm delivering Ramen."

"Give my younger self some more data on those contacts of yours, young Vongola."

"Visit my younger self as well, Tsunayoshi-kun."

"Remember your big brother will help you out whenever you need help, Tsuna."

"Please support my inexperienced self as well Vongola. I will try to upgrade other things as well."

"Please be in great health, Sawada-dono."

Many others gave their regards until lastly Reborn. The adult looked down at his young student as the clock kept counting down to his departure to the past. Tsuna's head was bowed down as his body shook under the gaze of his tutor wondering what thoughts are running in the Sun Arcobaleno's head. The tick-tock was becoming more definite as the promised time. Then within the minute limit the large hands rested on the top of his messy brunette hair. He brought his head up immediately meeting his eyes, wide in surprise, with the warm onyx eyes and smile.

"Reborn…" His voice was stunned and couldn't say anymore due to the unfamiliar face his tutor was making towards him.

The tutor smiled little wider, eyes half open showing sincerity as he spoke words that the student thought he would never hear in his life from Reborn, "You'll become someone great Tsuna, so don't falter and keep going towards the path you think is right."

Tsuna blinked a few times as the countdown in his mind started.

Ten… Nine…

He smiled and nodded.

Eight… Seven…

Everyone began to talk again saying their goodbyes.

Six… Five…

"Oi, Dame-Tsuna," Reborn yelled over the many clamors from everyone talking at once. Tsuna looked back at his older tutor once more, "Thanks for changing our future."

Four… three…

"No," Tsuna broke into a warmer and bigger smile with tears of joy gently streaming down his face, "I should thank you for changing my life, Reborn."

Two…

Reborn smiled once more before bringing down his fedora to cover his eyes. The grin could still be seen. Everyone waved a goodbye one last time to the young Tsuna.

One…

"Ja-ne, I'll see you in the future!" And with that the explosion and pink smoke immersed everyone, taking the child of the past back to his time.

Almost done! I know that some of you are wondering why it took me so long, but that is because I had little time to work on my fanfic projects due to school. Well hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Ciao-Ciao
