"What do you think you are doing to Tsunayoshi?" Kanda finally asked, breaking the silence between him and Reborn.
Reborn shrugged casually and smirked.
"I'm training him to become a great leader, to make him stronger."
Kanda narrowed his eyes and glared suspiciously at the older man in front of him. He knew that even if he continues to question the tutor, Reborn would not tell him the truth.
Suit yourself.
"You are secretive, we don't even know you." The swordsman stated curtly before he decided to leave the room. Kanda knew that Reborn was right. The suspicious man was indeed training Tsuna to become more powerful, Kanda had to admit.
It was not a bad thing…judging that the Black Order needed more hands and power.
Reborn just stared coldly at Kanda's retreating back. As much as the tutor felt like shooting him (Kanda), he held himself back.
If only Kanda knew what Tsuna was training for…?
"Wow, you are looking…err…" Lavi stuttered as he stared at Tsuna's tired face. She looked as if she did not sleep for the entire night.
Tsuna smiled helplessly. "I look very bad I bet. I couldn't get a wink of sleep at all." The female exorcist had stayed awake all night pondering on whether she was doing the right thing.
"Hey, do you know that Mukuro is coming back to the HQ soon?" Lavi continued, trying to change the subject.
Tsuna's eyes widened. Mukuro was arriving? The Vongola heir was really looking forward to meeting the illusionist again.
As Allen and Lenalee arrived and the group walked towards the canteen, Tsuna leaned slightly towards Reborn. The brown-haired girl wanted to ask her tutor for more advice.
"Reborn. Are you sure I'm doing the right thing; I mean gathering my guardians and destroying Black Order? It feels quite wrong." Tsuna whispered. She wanted to talk about how she felt uneasy, as if someone was expecting her to take revenge on the Black Order from the beginning.
Should I tell Reborn?
Reborn frowned inwardly when he heard his student's words. Tsuna had finally begun doubting the Earl's words, which was bad for the Earl (not that he bothered). The Earl would not be pleased though
"If you think what you are doing is right, go ahead. However, I want to warn you, don't make the wrong choice that would cause you to be regretful." Reborn warned before staring straight into Tsuna's brown eyes before walking away.
Lavi glanced warily at Tsuna to see if she was alright when he saw Reborn whispering something into the female exorcist's ear before walking away.
He felt something strange in his stomach which he could not recognize.
The red-haired teen was curious about what Reborn had told Tsuna after he noticed Tsuna's troubled expression.
_canteen_
Tsuna sighed into her black coffee for the tenth time ever since she sat down with Allen, Lenalee, Lavi and Reborn. She was so irritated. What had Reborn meant by 'wrong choice'? Why did he say that? The Mago was really clueless.
Tsuna suddenly froze when she felt something stirred inside her. Something was going to happen, she was sure.
Crash!
All heads in the canteen turned towards the direction of the loud sound.
"Good morning, Tsuna!" Yamamoto called out cheerfully. Somehow, his smile was quite strained.
"Yamamoto, what's wrong?" Tsuna asked in concerned. She noticed how her rain guardian looked all tensed up.
"Ha, Hibari and Kanda…" Yamamoto laughed before he sidestepped some random cup that flew towards him.
"I'm sure Bakanda and Hibari are fighting!" Allen exclaimed before continuing to munch on his breakfast. The white-haired exorcist found it amusing.
Lenalee just groaned and made a move to stop Kanda and Hibari from further destroying the canteen.
Reborn gently held onto Lenalee's hand and shook his head, smiling.
"Tsuna's already on it." The tutor smirked.
"Hibari-san, Kanda, please come with me." Tsuna commanded, her voice trembling slightly in anger. She had her hands on her hips and was fuming. Her eyes were slightly tilted red.
The whole canteen was silent, waiting Kanda and Hibari to make their move. Some expected them to beat up Tsuna, some waited for them to ignore Tsuna and walk off.
They were all wrong.
"Whoa, they actually listened to Tsuna!" Lavi commented in awe, his eyebrows rose. Lenalee, Allen and Yamamoto nodded in agreement whereas Reborn just sipped his drink in response. Tsuna can really be scary sometimes.
"So tell me, what's going on with you two?" Tsuna crossed her arms and glared at the two male exorcists in front of her. They were at the corridor, not far away from the canteen.
"Nothing's wrong." Both the raven-haired and blue-haired teen answered at the same time, looking away from each other.
"Both of you freaking fight early in the morning!" Tsuna yelled. She had finally lost her cool. She was already very troubled. Now Hibari and Kanda were giving her more problems!
Kanda did not like the look Tsuna was giving him. It was as if he was the one at fault. The swordsman che-ed and looked away.
Hibari's eyes narrowed into silts at Tsuna's angry glare. The herbivore before him was slowly changing into a carnivore, minute by minute. He really would enjoy a fight with him (Tsuna).
The bounty hunter stepped forward and suddenly touched Tsuna's left cheek, causing before Tsuna and Kanda to stiffen. Hibari himself was quite shocked at his own actions. He had acted on impulse.
What is this feeling?
"I'll bite you to death next time." The hunter said quietly before he made his way back to the canteen, ignoring Kanda's death glare.
Tsuna was confused as she slowly touched her cheek. What did Hibari just do?
The brown-haired exorcist crawled on her hair and shook her head hard.
'I don't get it at all!' Tsuna cried silently before she quickly chased after Hibari, not giving Kanda a backward glance at all.
…
Back at the canteen
It was when she felt the strange feeling again. Her instincts told her to dodge, which she did by rolling onto the ground when the air above her exploded.
"Akuma alert!" someone cried out, not far away from Tsuna.
Tsuna frowned. How could there be Akuma attack at this time of the day? How did they get in?
"Tsuna watch out!" Yamamoto warned, snapping the girl out of her thoughts. She ducked several Akuma bullets and hid behind a pillar along with Yamamoto.
The smoke cleared and Tsuna gasped in surprise when she saw a teenager near her age standing in the middle of the Akuma crowd.
"Is he a Noah?" Allen asked, panting as he stood beside Tsuna, his innocence activated. He was fighting Akuma when he spotted Tsuna and Yamamoto and went to join them.
Tsuna was about to reply was the unknown teenager suddenly smirked.
"Die!" the silver-haired teen snickered before he threw several bombs at the exorcists.
"Open box!"
"X-stream!"
"Crown clown!"
The ground exploded.
_l_H_L_
Lavi, Hibari and Lenalee were at the other side of the canteen when they witnessed a strange boy throwing bombs at Tsuna, Yamamoto and Allen.
Oh no…
Where were Kanda and Reborn when they needed them?
"All this happened too fast!" Allen complained as he coughed a few times. He managed to block the attack at the last minute.
"Ha, we were lucky!" Yamamoto chuckled as he lowered his sword. The swordsman had sliced two bombs before they reached him.
"Those were dying will flames…" Tsuna said dreamily, causing both boys to look at her in surprise.
"You mean…" Yamamoto trailed off. He realized that Tsuna was going to have another guardian soon. That meant that the enemy they were facing was a Vongola guardian.
"What's dying will flame?" Allen asked innocently. He had heard the term somewhere…
"No, Allen, you heard wrongly! I said that he was no a Noah." Tsuna confirmed and pointed to the teenager that threw the explosives. I can't let him know...
The three of them glanced at the enemy when he started speaking.
_extra_
"Err...Lenalee, can I ask you something?" Tsuna asked nervously, her head lowered. They were both walking towards their rooms, after Tsuna escaped from the training room.
"Sure, what is it?" Lenalee inquired, tilting her head curiously.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Tsuna blurted out.
Huh? Lenalee blinked abd shook her head quickly, rejecting the idea immediately.
"You are a boy, Tsuna!" Tsuna scratched her head, slightly embarrassed.
Oh, that was right. Lenalee did not know about her real gender.
"Yeah, you are right."
