Author's Note: Just thought I'd mention that the Rosario+Vampire characters are more based off of the anime incarnations than the manga, though elements from both will be showing up in this fanfic. This also takes place somewhere within season 1 of Rosario + Vampire, after episode 13.

Tsuna gazed out the window as the bus rolled along, trying to think about anything else, trying to keep his mind out of whatever impending doom awaited him.

"Tsuna," Kyoko's voice brought him back to reality, "Are you ok? You don't look well."

Tsuna couldn't help but smile at her, "Me? Yeah, I'm fine, really," he lied to her, he's been doing that a lot since he got involved in the Mafia, a place he didn't want to be involved into in the first place. "Just thinking of the new place we'll be going to is all."

"I think it's exciting," Kyoko said, "Who knows what this new school will be like. I wonder what the people there will be like."

"Yeah…" Tsuna said, "Me too." Tsuna was too busy with Kyoko to notice the bus going into a tunnel, and that the tunnel was much longer than it should be. Before they knew it, they had arrived.

"Alright kids," The bus driver said as the bus came to a stop, "Last stop."

Tsuna looked up and was surprised they were already there, he expected the trip to be much longer, judging from the time it took, they shouldn't be far outside of Namimori. The group all got their bags together and exited the bus. Instantly the sea air assaulted them. The ocean? Tsuna thought. Namimori isn't that close to the coast. Sure enough, Tsuna saw that they stood on a Cliffside, overlooking a beach, the ocean waves crashing below them.

"Why is the ocean red?" Tsuna asked.

"I didn't think we were so close to the Red Sea," Yamamoto said as he looked down at the ocean.

"The Red Sea is in Africa!" Tsuna tried to correct him.

"We're in Africa?" Yamamoto responded, "Did the bus fly? I don't think I ever remember it doing so."

Tsuna sighed, he knew there was nothing he could do to fix Yamamoto's way of thinking, his eyes then turned to the path they had to walk to get to the school and he panicked. This place was so freaky! Why were all of the trees dead and creepy? Why did it give him the chills just thinking of whatever could be lurking in them?

He was about to join the others when he heard a voice come from his bag.

"Lambo! Stop squirming, I-pin cannot breathe!"

"But Lambo has to Pee! Really bad!"

You have got to be kidding me. Tsuna thought as he dug into his bag and found both Lambo and I-pin stowed away in his bag.

"What are you guys doing here?" Tsuna asked.

"Lambo-san wanted to come with!" Lambo shouted.

"I-pin couldn't get Lambo to stay, so I-pin came with to make sure he stay out of trouble," I-pin explained.

Tsuna sighed, "Come on, let's get you two on the bus home," he said.

"NO!" Lambo said as he squirmed, "Lambo-san wants to stay here!"

Tsuna was surprised to find the bus already gone.

"Ha! Take that No Good Tsuna!" Lambo said, "No bus means Lambo-san stays here!"

Tsuna sighed, "Lambo, this can be really dangerous, especially for you."

"But Lambo-san wants to stay!" Lambo responded.

Before Tsuna could argue more he was interrupted by Haru, "Oh, these two came to?" she asked, taking Lambo and I-pin from Tsuna, Lambo sticking his tongue out at Tsuna. "Come on Tsuna or we'll be late."

Tsuna sighed, "Yeah I'm coming."

The walk to the school was awful on Tsuna's nerves, the trees around here were so dense, and anything could be hiding here waiting to ambush him. Tsuna was looking all over the place making sure nothing was going to attack them. He was a little more relieved when he saw the school, there were some people around and to Tsuna's surprise they looked just like that, people!

"Reborn," Tsuna said, "I thought you said this was a school for monsters, all these students look like normal people."

"Do you really think monsters would just walk around in their true forms?" Reborn asked, "If they did, places like this wouldn't be so secret now would it?"

Tsuna was wary of those around him as Reborn led them to their respective classes, of course they all wouldn't be in the same class, luckily he had the same class as Gokudera and Yamamoto, and so he wasn't totally alone.

Tsuna couldn't calm his nerves as the three of them stood before the class as the Teacher presented them. She seemed incredibly too perky for a normal person. "Please welcome our new students with open arms!" She exclaimed to the class before turning to them, "Why don't you tell us your names and something about you?"

"Uh…" Tsuna said, "I-I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, and there's nothing really special about me." Tsuna said, he hoped this would help him keep himself under the radar.

"My name is Yamamoto Takeshi," Yamamoto said happily, "And I love baseball."

"Gokudera Hayato," Gokudera started, much more enthusiastically as usual, "And I hope to get to know each and every one of you!"

Why wasn't Tsuna surprised, as much as an occult nut as Gokudera was, this place must be a haven for him.

The three of them took their seats as the students mumbled to each other about them, he heard several of the girls talking about Yamamoto and Gokudera, wich was expected as it happened in Namimori. Thankfully he heard nothing about him.

Tsuna took a seat in the back, as he sat down he saw a guy a few rows ahead of him glance at him. This made Tsuna extremely nervous; he had brown hair, which seemed tossled around and seemed rather plain. But it was the possibility of what was under that face, the secret monster that was there that terrified him. What was he planning? Did he want to kill him, torture him? The thoughts tore at Tsuna's nerves the whole class. That guy didn't say anything to him the whole day, no one did, wich made Tsuna relax a little. When the final class bell rang he ducked out and looked for a safe place to hide, wich was harder than expected as he settled for a quiet spot behind the school. Tsuna sat on a bench there and caught his breath. Ok, he made it through the first day, nothing bad happened. Tsuna let himself relax and didn't notice anyone approaching him.

"Hey," a voice said.

Tsuna looked to see that it was that guy from earlier; Tsuna shouted in surprise and cowered.

"Relax," the guy said, "you're a human, aren't you?"

"Huh? Me?" Tsuna said, trying to come up with a lie, "N-no way! I'm uh… a super scary monster! I'm uh… a Kaiju! I grow super big and I breathe fire!"

The guy chuckled, he obviously didn't believe it, "It's ok," he said, "I'm a human too."

Tsuna gave him a quizzical look, "Really?" he said.

"Yeah," the guy said as he sat down on the bench next to Tsuna, "My name is Tsukune Aono."

"If you're a human, what are you doing here?" Tsuna asked.

"I could ask the same of you," Tsukune said, "It was more of a misunderstanding, my dad found an application on the street, and since I failed all of my other high school entrance exams, he pushed it on me since this school doesn't need one."

That's when it hit him, this was a high school! Tsuna was still in middle school! And he was terrible at that, how was he supposed to do any better here? He'd have to talk to Reborn about it later, since the bus was gone, there was no way he was going back now.

"So what about you?" Tsukune asked.

"Well," Tsuna said, should he tell this guy about the mafia? Would he even believe him? "My home tutor thought it would be a good learning experience for me."

"That tutor of yours must be brutal then," Tsukune said with a laugh, "Most people don't even know this place exists."

"You have no idea," Tsuna said.

Tsukune laughed, "I was in the same position as you when I first got here," he said, "I've got some good friends that help me keep my spirits up. You're welcome to meet them if you like."

"Sure," Tsuna said, things were already looking up, if Tsukune could make it here, then maybe Tsuna could too.

Orrin watched from the rooftop as the new kid, Tsunayoshi, met with Tsukune. The guy that defeated the head of the Public Safety Commission. Orrin had heard of Tsuna's battle against Xanxus and had wanted to see the young Vongola boss' skills compared to his own. No one was more surprised than Orrin was when he saw the same Tsunayoshi in front of class today. Now it seemed that him and Tsukune were going to be all buddy-buddy. This was perfect, Orrin knew Tsukune's secret and he intended to defeat him and show everyone the truth, now that Tsuna was here as well he can also test the Vongola's skills. Orrin smirked to himself as he imagined the glorious battle that would ensue, the young Vongola's guardians against his own. But the time for that would come, now he had some arranging to do.
