"Chrome, do you have the official declaration of Fiore?" asked the Vongola Decimo as a purple-haired girl entered through the hardwood doors. Chrome nodded as she approached her boss' desk.

Chrome handed Tsuna a rolled up paper. The paper was tied with a mauve ribbon with a needle sticking through it. It was known in the Costra Nostra that this was the symbol of the Fiore Famiglia. Tsuna took the paper from Chrome's hand and started reading it.

After a few moment of silence, Chrome spoke about a totally different subject. Unrelated to the war that was brewing between two famiglias.

"I think she's getting suspicious, bossu," Chrome told the brunet*.

They were in Tsuna's office. Tsuna was sitting behind his desk which was in front of a window that stretched to the ceiling. Beautiful silk curtains adorned the majestic window which has a view of the Vongola's beautiful garden.

Light was shining through the windows, illuminating the room. Chrome watched Tsuna's face grow increasingly problematic as he read the declaration of war.

"Who are you talking about Chrome?" Tsuna asked, not taking his eyes off the paper.

"Zuki," Chrome muttered. "She knows something is going on, and it looks like she won't stop until she finds out."

"She won't find out anything," said Tsuna.

He was unfocused. Chrome just knows it. He would've freaked out completely if a person suspects anything regarding his identity. Chrome wasn't quite sure why her boss didn't want his identity to be revealed. They're just his classmates, after all. Just innocent civilians. And Chrome was pretty sure that the Vongola has some way to convince his classmates to keep quiet.

Chrome decided that she would just do her best to calm her boss's mind, even though it was technically Takeshi's job. Chrome knew from watching Tsuna work that being a mafia boss was no easy work. It was stressful for the most part. Problems would just randomly pop up from different places, and Tsuna was responsible for fixing those problems.

Now a mafia family is declaring war against the Vongola. That's more stress on Tsuna's part. War between two mafia families is never a good thing. No matter what happens, there will be casualties in bothe parties. Tsuna must play his cards right if he wants to avoid bloodshed. Even though Vongola was far stronger than the Fiore Famiglia, if Tsuna makes even one slip-up, even one mistake, there will be suffering.

It would be the first famiglia war that Tsuna will be experiencing as the Vongola Decimo. If he messes this up, who knows what will happen.

After lunch, class 3-A was lead into a large empty room (Well, the room was almost empty except from a machine that looks like some sort of human containing device in the middle of the said room) by a man who introduced himself as Leonardo.. Leonardo was one of the mansion's many servants. He took care of guests mostly. When everyone was in the room, Leonardo shut the door.

"Uh, Leonardo-san, why are we here?" asked a male student. Leonardo looked at him in mild surprise.

"Don't you know? You're here to learn!" said Leonardo in Japanese. His Japanese was flawless, but he had a heavy Italian accent.

"What exactly are we going to learn?" said Hana.

Just as Leonardo opened his mouth to speak, the wall exploded right before the students' eyes. A few people screamed in surprise. A few just coughed because of the dust that escaped from the destroyed walls.

'Great,' Tsuna thought. ' More paperwork.'

"What was that?" said a boy.

Tsuna facepalmed. He knew exactly who caused this destruction.

"Idiot," came Gokudera's voice behind all the dust. "Why the hell did you break down the wall?!"

"CAUSE I CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR TO THE EXTREME!" said Ryohei.

"Shut up or I'll bite you to death."

"Kufufufu~ The skylark is annoyed already?"

"Lambo-sama wants candy! Give me candy Bakadera!"

"Why you little brat!" Gokudera lunged for the little lightning guardian. And that's when chaos ensued.

Hibari started to spar with Mukuro. Ryohei was watching them spar and kept shouting extreme things. Lambo was searching Gokudera's pockets for candy. Gokudera was trying to get Lambo off of him while shouting a lot of colorful words. Chrome was on the back of the group. She was looking at the ground, her expression unreadable.

The students watched the people in front of them with mixed emotions. Some were scared, a few were amused (*cough*Hana*cough*), some didn't even notice what was happening, but most were just confused.

Yamamoto was watching the scene with a grin. He scratched his head. He didn't know when his friends were going to realize that there were a lot of people watching them.

As for Tsuna, he was slapping his forehead repeatedly for the antics of his guardians. He had specifically told them to act normal.

Well, this is what his guardians normally do so he couldn't blame them.

They would probably explode if they behave properly.

"WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP AND BEHAVE!" shouted Chrome. Everyone was shocked. Yes, even the rest of the guardians. Chrome was usually a shy gentle girl. She never gets angry and she was nice to everyone. And now she was showing a complete opposite image of what people knew. Now she was red from fury and annoyance. Everyone in the room froze at her words.

Chrome was very annoyed. She was so stressed. The Fiore famiglia sure did annoy her a lot with their war declaration. She lacked sleep and nutrition with all the work she had to do. And yes, it was also that time of the month. With the guardians misbehaving, she just exploded.

Everyone was in shock. The students knew Chrome because she had been their classmate in their middle school days and everyone knew that she's always been a nice and calm person. It was a shock to see her red with anger.

Hana raised her eyebrow. "Congratulations, stupid monkeys. You have achieved the impossible and made Chrome angry," Hana said. Chrome heard her and managed a light smile.

"I'm okay, Hana-chan," Chrome assured, feeling embarrassed of her little outburst.

Before Hana can reply, Leonardo cleared his throat, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. "Umm…. Shall we proceed?" he said. He looked at Tsuna for confirmation. The brunet nodded slightly, signaling Leonardo to proceed. A few students noticed the silent exchange, but they did not think much about it.

Leonardo cleared his throat. "All right then!" he clapped his hand, gaining the full attention of the students. "As I was saying, you are here to learn! You will be classified into 6 groups. Special instructors will serve as your subject teachers so you'll continue your studies while here in Italy."

Murmurs of excitement and curiosity were heard at the mention of special instructors. Tsuna, on the other hand, started feeling like he's going to puke. Now he finally understands how Shoichi feels.

Leonardo pulled a piece of paper seemingly from thin air and started speaking once more. "Now, when I call your name, enter this machine," he pointed at the machine in the middle of the room, "so that it may tell you what your classification is. All of the same classifications are to be grouped together."

At the mention of this, Tsuna's eyes widened.

'Hopefully what I think they're doing is not what they're actually doing,' Tsuna internally hoped.

But of course, with his luck, it would be exactly what he thought they were doing. Even his hyper intuition suggested that it was true, but the young brunet still hoped for the best.

Leonardo started calling names, starting from the class representative. "Takiyama, Zuki!" he called. The class representative of class 3-A approached the machine, both knowingness and curiosity visible in her eyes. The machine took a few seconds before flashing the color yellow.

"Takiyama-san will be part of the Sun Group!" Leonardo announced. Tsuna paled dramatically. I was exactly what he thought it was. Zuki stepped away and another student went in as Leonardo announced another name.

The students one by one entered the machine and were grouped into a specific flame type. As Tsuna watched his classmates get classified, he couldn't help wondering who the hell came up with this plan, and why was it approved. One would think that now that Tsuna is the boss, he should be in-charge of everything. Well, it doesn't really work that way. Not at the moment, that is.

Since Tsuna is still in school, he couldn't fulfill his duties as the Vongola Decimo from Japan, so even though Timoteo wanted to run from the wretched paperwork, he takes care of the Vongola while Tsuna is studying. They made an agreement though, when Tsuna arrives at Italy, the responsibility of the boss is immediately passed to him.

It's a complicated set-up, really. But what as to be done must be done. Duties are duties, even if you're still 18 years old.

Tsuna came up with the conclusion that Reborn thought of the idea and Timoteo approved it. Why Reborn would bring a bunch of innocent teenagers into the dark depths of the mafia was still a mystery to him.

Eventually, the classification ended. 6 people were in the sun group, 8 were in the storm group, 2 in the mist group, 5 in the lightning group, 6 were in the rain group, and 4 in the cloud group. Unsurprisingly, nobody was in the sky group.

The groups were:

Yuri Matsumoto

Raito Yamazaki

Miyuki Hashimoto

Fumiko Mori

Takeru Chiba

Ryuta Arai

Sun:

Zuki Takiyama

Kyoko Sasagawa

Hiro Sasaki

Rie Akiyama

"Alright!" Leonardo said after scribbling some things on his paper. "That's all for the classification! If you would excuse me, I must be elsewhere. Somebody else will brief you about why you were grouped like that." He folded the paper he was holding and started to exit the room when Yuri Matsumoto raised her hand.

"Umm Leonardo-san, why aren't they-" she pointed at Tsuna's group, "-classified into groups like us?"

Leonardo smiled at the girl. "Well, like I told you. You will be briefed about your groupings afterwards," he said. Then he left the room hurriedly.

The students looked at each other in confusion, while Tsuna's guardians remained unfazed about it. Well, except for Tsuna who was face palming and swearing curses in his mind.

'Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck,' was all that Tsuna thought.

He could only hope that the person Leonardo was talking about was one of the tamer of the Vongola. But something told him (probably his Hyper Intuition) that things won't work that well.

Just a second after Leonardo left the room, another figure, albeit smaller, entered the room. The room was still and silent. Nobody said a word. Tsuna visibly paled at the small figure in front of him.

'I should've known,' he thought to himself.

"Ciaossu," the figure stepped into the light, revealing Reborn in all his glory. Yes, he was still awesome, even as a child. "I'm Reborn, and I will be briefing you about your classifications," he said with his childish voice.

The students started to whisper among themselves. A five year old kid briefing them about their groupings? Definitely does not sound or look normal. Most of the students were confused.

'Is this a joke?' they whispered among themselves.

Meanwhile, Tsuna's group, save Tsuna who was bashing his head with his palm repeatedly, looked completely unperturbed. Yamamoto even shouted out a greeting to the kid.

"Yo Reborn!" he greeted the child, flashing a grin.

*before anyone asks, brunet is used for males and brunette is used for females. Like blond is for males and blonde for females. Well, that's what I know personally but yeah….
