Peace and Quiet

Tsuna was feeling great since he finally was able to read all ten volumes of his favorite manga series. There haven't been interruptions of any sort either. This has been a great a peaceful day.

Wait! Peaceful? Why has it been so peaceful? Let's see… Reborn is on a short out of town mission for the Ninth. Bianchi is using this time to get some rare ingredients from Brazil. Haru is at a regional academic competition and Kyoko went with her. Yet none of that really explains why the house is so scarily quiet. Tsuna wasn't sure if he wanted to leave his room, ever. Or at least until someone came to get him.

Then Tsuna began to hear some cheering. Curious and certain he might die, Tsuna left his room.

Tsuna checked the kitchen out first. The room was empty with just a letter on the table. The letter said that Tsuna's mom and I-Pin had gone shopping and would be back before dinner time.

After Tsuna had finished reading the letter, he heard some shouted cheering coming from the front room. From the sounds and phrasing of the cheering, Tsuna deduced that Yamamoto, Gokudera, Ryohei-nii-san, and Lambo (gaki Lambo, not the TYL Lambo either) were all in the front room. Somehow they weren't fighting either as Tsuna couldn't hear any cursing, any explosions, fighting, or arguments of any kind happening in there. This is scary to an extreme degree. Ah! Now Tsuna's thinking in extremes. Why is it so hard to think of any other adjective that have similar meanings?

After a few minutes of being too scared to go into the front room, the curiosity of what could keep such normally argumentative personalities to get along won out over Tsuna's fear. Tsuna carefully and silently crept into the front room. In the front room Tsuna found that Ryohei-nii-san, Yamamoto, Gokudera, and Lambo were all watching T.V.

"What are you guys watching?" Tsuna asked.

"Oh, Jyudaime," Gokudera said.

"There's a marathon of anime that Akira Toriyama-sensei had been a part of. I can't remember why they are honoring him like this today, but right now Dragon Ball Z is on," Yamamoto said.

"It's an extremely good show," Ryohei said.

"Um, okay" Tsuna said before sitting on the couch next to Lambo. Tsuna was curious as to what kind of show could keep such harmony among his usually excitable guardians.

After watching the show for an hour, Tsuna wondered why a show about people fighting could keep his friends from fighting. A few more minutes passed and Tsuna began to wonder what is so great about the show. Not much went on in an episode. None of the fights were resolved within one episode. Really that kind of thing really couldn't happen either. Who takes three hours to fight a five minute battle? Hibari-san wouldn't even need three minutes to bite people to death.

"Why do all of the characters wait for their opponent to reach their full power before they start attacking again?" Tsuna finally found that he had to ask.

"It's about proving you're the best. If you fight someone while they are weak and not at their most powerful, you won't ever know if you really were stronger than your opponent," Ryohei said.

"Oh," Tsuna said. He still didn't understand the concept, oh well.

After that day, Tsuna went out and bought a box set of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Not because Tsuna liked any of them, watching them once was more than enough for him. No, the reason that Tsuna bought them was for the peace and quiet the shows would afford him. Now that he has found a way of keeping his friends from fighting each other, Tsuna is going to use it to his fullest advantage until it no longer works.
