Author Notes: I would first like to thank all of you who have reviewed my story. You all have made me happy! =) Just like I promised you all get to hug Reborn, but watch out for Bianchi because I hear she is somewhere nearby and will kill you with her poison cooking if she catches you hugging Reborn. =o Also, I'm sorry for updating this late but I had a writers block. Anyway, I just want to point before you all head into the story is that some of the characters will have different appearances in this story, but will not be OOC or different at all. I might change some of their personalities, but nothing too major. Let's get started!
Chapter 2 : The Visitors From The Grand Line
"Ciaossu!" Tsuna just gaped at the Reborn as he sat on his kitchen table, with both shocked and disbelief shown in his eyes. Reborn stared back with a small smile on his face, as he slowly approached him. Yamamoto blinked as he watched Reborn walked forward toward Tsuna while on the table. Reborn jumped off the table and onto the floor and continued walking toward Tsuna until he was at his feet. Tsuna looked down at him, still in disbelief, and watched as Reborn's smile widened. "What's with that look!?" Reborn stated as he grabbed Tsuna's arm and grappled him to the floor, twisting his arm in one swift motion.
"Owowowowowowowowow!!" Tsuna repeatably shrieked in pain as Reborn tightened the grip on Tsuna's arm, twisting it more. Yamamoto blinked at first before laughed at the site, while Nana just smiled even though her son was in pain.
"Suge Tsuna! You sure get along with kids!" Tsuna just gaped at him at Yamamoto's density as Reborn finally let go of Tsuna's arm, to his relief. "Ite!!! Why did you do that!?" Tsuna asked as Reborn turned to him.
"Because!" Reborn replied as Tsuna's jaw dropped.
'What kind of reason is that!?' Reborn just smiled as he watched Tsuna stand up from the ground and wiped the dirt off of his pants. Tsuna sighed and looked down at Reborn, who looked back up at him with a smile still on his face. "So, who are you!?"
"My name is Reborn and I'm your pirate tutor." Reborn answered as Tsuna made a noise in surprise.
"But your just a baby!" Tsuna shouted as Reborn lowered his head. He then reached for the chameleon named Leon and everyone watched as the chameleon turned itself into a gun. Reborn then pointed it at Tsuna who shrieked in fear. "W-Wait a minute!" Tsuna waved his hands in front of him, hoping he wouldn't fire. Reborn however pulled the trigger causing Tsuna to cover himself, but to his surprise he felt something cold and wet hitting him. He opened his eyes and jaw dropped when the gun Reborn had was a squirt gun. "A squirt gun!"
"For now it's a squirt gun." Reborn told him as Tsuna sighed in relief. "Now,let's all go sit down and talk." Reborn told them as he jumped on a chair and then jumped up to the table. He walked toward his cup and sat in front of it and watched as the three all took their seats. "Now then, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Reborn and I was chosen by the Vongola the 9th before he died to be Tsuna's pirate tutor." Reborn explained.
"But why me!?" Tsuna asked as Reborn took a sip of his tea.
"Because you were chosen by him and your father to be the 10th Captain of the Vongola Pirates." Reborn explained, earning a surprised shout from Tsuna.
"M-My dad!" Reborn nodded.
"Yes! However, the 9th planned on training you to be the next Captain himself, but no one expected his sudden death." Tsuna's eyes widened as Yamamoto and Nana just blinked, not really sure what was going on. "Also, because of this I'm afraid we don't have much time."
"What do you mean?" Tsuna asked.
"It means we would have to set sail immediately." Tsuna's eyes widened as he stood up from his chair.
"What!?" Reborn just looked up at him with a frown as Yamamoto noticed Tsuna's hands shaking on the table.
"I know it's sudden, but we have no choice. The first thing we need to do is-"
"Shut up!" Tsuna suddenly shouted, causing Yamamoto and Nana to jump slightly from his sudden outburst. Reborn just hid his eyes under his fedora cap.
"Tsuna..." Yamamoto whispered looking at Tsuna with a frown.
"Why do I have to be the 10th Captain!? Besides, I don't want to be pirate!" Tsuna shouted as he waited for a response from Reborn.
"To tell you the truth..." Reborn began. "When I first saw you, I knew you didn't want to be a pirate. Not only that but I though why the 9th chose you. You look like a good for nothing failure who can't do anything to save his life. They seem to also call you 'No good' Tsuna." Tsuna's jaw dropped at Reborn's analysis and Yamamoto laughed.
"Wow Tsuna, he's really good!" Yamamoto told him as Tsuna looked at Reborn in disbelief and became depressed at Reborn's deduction.
"However..." Reborn suddenly said as Tsuna raised his head. "...I can tell that you are really care about your nakama, which is definitely a trait a captain should have. Not only that, but you also never give up when you want to do something." Tsuna just gaped at him in surprise as his deduction seemed to be right. "I also believe the 9th chose you because you seem to resemble a lot like the 1st Captain of the Vongola Pirates."
Tsuna's eyes widened as well as Yamamoto's and Nana's eyes did. Reborn then smiled. "The 9th has total trust that you can become the 10th Captain and with my help I will make you a even greater Captain than him." Tsuna just sat back down and took in everything Reborn told him and lowered his head until his forehead touched the wooden table. He closed his eyes as everyone frowned at Tsuna.
"Do I have a choice?" Tsuna asked as he waited for Reborn's response.
"No." Reborn answered after a long silence. That was not the answer Tsuna wanted, but he knew nothing he said would do anything. He then lifted his head from the table.
"So, what do we do first?" Tsuna asked as Reborn smiled along with Yamamoto and Nana as they were proud of his response.
"First we need to gather your crew." Reborn told him as Tsuna's eyes widened.
"Wait I thought I there already was a Vongola Pirate crew!" Tsuna said as Reborn nodded.
"Yes that is true, but they are the 9th's crew." Reborn answered. "Now they are just a division of the Vongola Pirates that you have in command. There are many other divisions of the Vongola Pirates, each with a captain to control them. However, you are the Captain of every division which gives you a really strong responsibility." Tsuna gulped and was worried on how huge his responsibility would be. "Back to finding your crew." Reborn took out a box from his hat, surprising everyone that the box actually fit inside. He then opened the box. "We would search using these."
"What are those?" Tsuna asked as everyone looked down at seven rings that were inside it. Two of them however were glowing.
"These are known as the Vongola Rings." Reborn answered. "These rings are given to the Captain of the Vongola Pirates and to his six guardians or you can call them your six strongest crew mates." Reborn explained.
"But why are two of them glowing?" Yamamoto asked as Reborn smiled.
"When they glow like that, it means that there is a guardian nearby. The one in the middle indicates that it's Tsuna's ring, the Ring of the Sky." Reborn answered, looking at Tsuna.
"Then the other one belongs to..." Tsuna whispered as he turned toward Yamamoto, who looked back at Tsuna.
"Aa, the other one belongs to you Yamamoto. The Ring of Rain has chosen you Yamamoto." Yamamoto just blinked as he looked at Reborn.
"Yamamoto?" Tsuna called for him after he didn't answer for a while. Yamamoto suddenly smiled.
"If that means I get to play this pirate game, that I'm all for it." Yamamoto replied with a grin as he gave a thumb up to Tsuna. Reborn smiled.
"Are you sure Yamamoto?" Tsuna tried to make him reconsider, but Yamamoto's smile didn't fade.
"Of course, it would be fun right?" He said as Tsuna sighed, but smiled afterwards knowing that at least one of his friends would be with him. He then turned to Reborn.
"So, what about the others?" Tsuna asked.
"The other guardians are somewhere on this island." Reborn answered as Tsuna blinked at him.
"How do you know?" Tsuna asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Because before I came here I went around the island and saw that all of the rings glowed at some towns on this island. Our first step is to travel around the island in search for the other guardians. We need to find the guardians of the sun, cloud, mist and thunder." Reborn told them, but Yamamoto noticed that he only mentioned four of the remaining five. However, Yamamoto beat him with his own question.
"Why are the rings named after weather climates?" Reborn looked at him.
"The 1st Vongola Captain named them because he thought of the sky as freedom. Each of the climates shown on the rings shows each guardians respective roles to protect the Vongola Pirates and more importantly their Captain. However, it's up to the guardians to know what these roles are." Yamamoto made an 'o' with his mouth as he understood somewhat of what Reborn said. Then Tsuna asked his question.
"Why did you only say four when there are five we have to look for?" Tsuna asked as Reborn's smile widened.
"That's because the guardian of the Ring of Storm should arrive in 3...2...1..." Then there was a knock on the door and the Ring of Storm began to glow.
"I wonder who that is." Nana said while she stood from her seat and made her way toward the door. When she arrived at the door and opened it, she saw a pink haired women at the door and she was holding another boy by his shirt, who was in agonizing pain.
"Hello, we are friends of Reborn." The pink haired girl named Bianchi told Nana as she smiled sweetly at her.
"So, your friends of Reborn-kun. Then please come in." Nana told her as she nodded her head and thanked her as she walked in while dragging the agonizing teen right behind her.
"Tsuna, Yamamoto, I want you to meet Bianchi and the guardian of the Ring of Storm, Gokudera." Reborn announced as Tsuna and Yamamoto watched as Bianchi and the ailing Gokudera entered the kitchen. Once Bianchi entered the room, she immediately blushed and rushed over to Reborn and began to snuggle him.
"Reborn, I was so worried when we got separated." Bianchi told him affectionately as Yamamoto and Tsuna watched with sweat drops. They then heard a hand slamming on the table and watched as the ailing Gokudera lifted himself to get a look at Tsuna.
"It's an honor t-to m-meet you, 10th. Although I feel ashamed as your first mate to meet me like this." He told Tsuna as he nervously smiled at him. Gokudera then took a look at his sister's face and immediately went to his ailing stomach as he collapsed to the floor. The next thing everyone heard was the sound of his stomach making noises.
"Huh, what is wrong with him?" Tsuna asked, looking toward Reborn.
"It seems that whenever he sees his sister he gets sick. I believe it's because of all the time he ate some of his sister's poison cooking." Reborn explained, raising both Yamamoto's and Tsuna's eyebrow.
"Poison cooking?" Yamamoto asked as Bianchi suddenly took out some purple food that actually smelled awful.
"Gah! What is that stuff?" Tsuna asked covering his nose from the smell, as Yamamoto did the same.
"T-That is h-her....poison cooking 10th. Don't eat it if you value your l-life." Gokudera explained from the pain he was in as they both looked at her cooking again and began backing off.
"Have some of my cake, 10th." Bianchi said as she walked forward. Tsuna began to wave his free hand in front of him as he continued to back away from her.
"No, thanks." Tsuna replied through his closed nose.
"Alright, if you don't want to." Bianchi said, walking back toward Reborn and picking him into her arms. Tsuna and Yamamoto sighed in relief as Bianchi took away her poison cooking.
"Tsuna!" Reborn called him as Tsuna looked at him. "We have to leave immediately to find the other guardians. We don't have much time so we have to hurry."
"Huh? So soon!" Tsuna's jaw dropped as Reborn nodded. He then motioned Bianchi to head toward the door.
"Follow me Tsuna, Yamamoto. We would start looking at the nearest city to the west of here. That is where the Ring of the Sun glowed and that is where we would find our first guardian." Reborn told them as he disappeared from the kitchen.
"Wait a minute!" Tsuna called but it was too late as he heard the door close. He then sighed as Yamamoto grinned and put an arm around Tsuna's shoulder.
"Yosh! Let's go Tsuna!" Yamamoto grinned as Tsuna looked at him and grinned back.
"Hey, what do you think your doing putting your hands on the 10th?" Gokudera shouted as he recovered from his stomach problem.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Yamamoto asked blinking at Gokudera.
"What do you think?! No one is allowed to touch the 10th like that accept for his first mate and that's me!" Gokudera finished pointing towards him.
"What are you saying? We're all friends! I mean we are going to be crew mates after all!" Yamamoto grinned as Gokudera growled at him.
"I know that, but just to make one thing clear, I'm going to be the 10th first mate!" Gokudera stated as he pointed a finger at Yamamoto.
"Gokudera, hurry up!" Bianchi told him as she popped out from the wall. Gokudera turned around to look at her and immediately he went to his stomach as he was in pain once again. "Your in pain again. I told you to stop hurting yourself in your training."
'Your the one who's causing him pain!' Tsuna thought loudly as his jaw dropped.
"Maybe you should put on these goggles, Bianchi." Reborn told her as he held out goggles toward her, which she gladly accepted.
"Anything you say, Reborn!" She happily took the goggles and put them on. Gokudera then looked at his sisters as she now wore the goggles and the stomach pain suddenly stopped.
"W-What, it doesn't hurt anymore." Gokudera stated as he stood up, pain free.
"I wonder why." Yamamoto asked.
"I guess whenever I see aniki's face, my stomach gets upset." Gokudera told him as he understood.
"Anyway, we should get going." Reborn told them as he left the house followed by Bianchi. Gokudera then looked at Tsuna.
"Yosh, let's go 10th!" Gokudera shouted as Tsuna sighed before following out the door, along with Yamamoto and Gokudera.
"See you soon, Tsu-kun!" Nana waved as she watched Tsuna and the other members of the crew waved back before walking toward the west, to look for the owner of the Sun Ring.
