Author Notes: I'm sorry for updating so god dam late. I just had a huge writer's block and sort of lost the will to continue writing. But luckily I found the will to write again and I'll try updating more often. Also, to all who reviewed, you now get all free cookies and since I am so late in updating I will give you milk as well. Enjoy! Anyway, he is the next chapter.
Chapter 5: The Guardian of Lightning
"Yosh! Let's get extreme!!!" Ryohei shouted to the sky as he ran ahead of the others, shouting the word 'extreme' over and over again.
"Onii-chan!" Kyoko shouted after her brother, embarrassed by his behavior.
"That idiot!" Gokudera cursed under his breath. "Doesn't he know that the captain should always be in front?!"
"It's alright Gokudera-kun, I don't mind." Tsuna tried to settle Gokudera down.
"Are you sure 10th?" The white haired boy asked as Tsuna nodded.
"Of course. I mean, this must be his first time leaving the town, so of course he would get excited." Tsuna replied as Gokudera understood and sighed to calm himself down.
"Ok 10th, if you say so." Gokudera responded, placing his hands in his pockets.
"Hahahaha, your brother sure is interesting." Yamamoto told Kyoko, who looked away in embarrassment, still feeling uncomfortable around the new people she was with. Yamamoto noticed this and smiled in understanding as Reborn jumped from Bianchi's arms and onto Tsuna's shoulder, surprising him.
"Baka-Tsuna, before we go find the next guardian, it would be best to leave Kyoko at your house." Tsuna jumped in surprise.
"Huh!? M-my house!?" Tsuna repeated in shock and embarrassment. Reborn nodded.
"Aa, your mom should be able to take care of her. Plus, your mom might give her some clean clothes to wear." Reborn told Tsuna, who sighed and had no choice but to comply with Reborn's suggestion.
"Hahahaha, Lambo-san is so fast. You won't be able to catch the great Lambo-san!" A small afro, cow clothes wearing infant yelled as he ran as fast as he could from his chaser.
"Matte, Lambo." Another small infant shouted at Lambo as she chased after him.
"Hahahaha, you will never catch Lambo-san!" Lambo shouted again as he turned his head to look back at his chaser. When Lambo turned his head back to his front, he was suddenly met with a face full of Ryohei's knee. The force he hit Ryohei's knee caused Lambo to roll backwards, tears falling down his red, swollen face.
"Gotta…stay…calm…" Lambo muttered as he tried to raise himself up from the ground, tears falling down his face.
"Lambo, are you ok?" The Chinese infant named I-pin asked him, helping him up.
"Oi, are you ok?" Ryohei asked Lambo as he kneeled down in front of Lambo and I-pin. "Sorry, about that. But you should be more careful, kozo."
"Lambo-san is always careful! It was you who hit Lambo-san!" Lambo shouted at Ryohei as I-pin hit him over the head.
"That's enough, Lambo." She scolded him as Ryohei blinked at the two infants. Soon, Tsuna and the others arrived and immediately noticed the two infants on the ground.
"Are? Who are they?" Tsuna asked, referring the question to Ryohei.
"I don't know, but this afro baby bumped into my knee during my run." Ryohei explained pointing down to the afro infant.
"Isn't that a cow?" Yamamoto suddenly asked as Tsuna turned to him with an expression of disbelief.
"No, you sword freak! That's obviously a…" Gokudera paused when he looked back at the infant. "…maybe it is a cow?"
'Why are we even discussing this?' Tsuna thought in disbelief.
"Awww, what a couple of cute babies?" Kyoko cooed over I-pin and Lambo as she knelt down in front of them. Tsuna smiled at Kyoko and made a comment about her being cute before his thoughts were interrupted by Reborn's movement on his shoulder.
"What are you doing, Reborn?" Tsuna asked his tutor as Bianchi walked toward him.
"Are you okay, Reborn?" Bianchi asked with a worried expression before Reborn finally pulled out what he was looking for, the box that held the Vongola Rings.
"What are you doing with the Vongola Rings?" Tsuna asked as he watched Reborn open it. Reborn then smiled.
"Just what I thought, one of those babies is the Guardian of the Lightning Ring." Tsuna's jaw dropped and eyes turned white in surprise.
"Eeeehhhh!!! You mean one of those babies is a guardian!!!???" Tsuna exclaimed pointing at Lambo and I-pin who now turned their attention to them, as well as did everyone else, after they heard Tsuna's scream of surprise.
"Ooohhh! What is that shiny thing? Is it for Lambo-san!?" Lambo asked happily as he ran toward Tsuna. Reborn took the Lightning Ring from the Vongola box and jumped down to the ground as he walked over to Lambo and pointed the ring toward Lambo, who looked at it in amazement. The flame on the ring grew bigger when Lambo reached for it and to everyone's surprise, the ring belonged to Lambo.
"It looks like we found another guardian!" Reborn smiled as Tsuna and Gokudera immediately went to protest.
"Hold on a minute, Reborn! He is just a baby!" Tsuna yelled.
"I agree with the 10th, Reborn-san! How is that cow baby thing a Guardian!?" Reborn looked up to the both of them and shrugged.
"I don't know. The ring chooses its guardian." Reborn replied as Tsuna and Gokudera just kept their looks of disbelief. Yamamoto then laughed.
"Hahahaha, we already found another one. We sure are quick!" Ryohei nodded his head in agreement with Yamamoto.
"Aa, that's because we are EXTREME!!!" He shouted the last word.
'Guardians?' Kyoko thought, confused.
"Hahaha, this ring is now Lambo-sans!!!!" Lambo cheered, holding the ring in the air with his hand.
Tsuna sighed. He knew a pirate ship was no place for a baby, but he had no choice. "I guess there is no other way. By the way, where did you two come from?" Tsuna asked realizing it just now.
"We came from the orphanage down the hill." I-pin replied pointing up toward the big hill as Lambo continued to cheer with his new ring.
"O-orphanage?" Tsuna muttered quietly.
"Ee, both me and Lambo live there now because my master is gone and Lambo was just left there by a group of pirates." I-pin explained as Kyoko frowned.
"That's horrible…" I-pin shook her head.
"Not really, me and Lambo have a lot of fun with the others so it isn't that boring." I-pin explained before she frowned.
"What's wrong?" Kyoko asked.
"Are you going to take Lambo?" She asked looking at Tsuna with a frown as Tsuna couldn't help but to reconsider taking Lambo with them. Reborn however beat him to it.
"Aa, if the Lightning Ring picked him to be the guardian then we have to take him." Tsuna couldn't believe what Reborn just said.
"Reborn!" He shouted as Reborn looked up at him.
"Nani?! We don't have much time left! The ring has chosen him and if we don't take him then the voyage will be nothing but a waste." Reborn told Tsuna, who became speechless.
"But…" Tsuna frowned before looking over at I-pin.
"If you feel that badly, then maybe we should just take her with us." Reborn suggested.
"Huh!?" Tsuna shouted as I-pin raised her head, surprised as well.
"You don't want to separate them, right?" Reborn asked Tsuna, who looked from the cheering Lambo to the surprised I-pin. He closed his eyes before nodding. Reborn smiled.
"Then it's settled. We have found the Guardian of Lightning." Yamamoto smiled at the idea and Ryohei shouted the word 'extreme' to the sky as I-pin put on a smile. Gokudera looked at the two infants with a scowl before accepting the fact that these two kids were going to be part of the crew. Bianchi just stood and smiled as Kyoko laughed as she watched I-pin and Lambo jump around a cheer together.
Tsuna opened his eyes to look at the two and sighed. 'Well, I guess we don't have a choice.'
"By the way Tsuna…" Reborn gained Tsuna's attention. "Don't forget to pay for their adoption papers."
"Huh!?!?!? Why me!?!?!?" Tsuna shouted, hands clutching his head.
"Why? Because you're the captain, of course!" Reborn smiled.
