Tsukune led Tsuna to the Newspaper Club room, opening the door he was instantly met by Kurumu who lunged at him and embraced him tightly.
"Tsukune!" she exclaimed, "You're late! Where were you?"
Tsukune's reply was muffled from under Kurumu's chest and a pan suddenly hit Kurumu on the head, causing her to release Tsukune.
"You're suffocating him again!" Yukari scolded, "Maybe you could try and control yourself sometimes!"
"Oh please," Kurumu retorted, "you're just jealous because you're too flat."
"Am not!" Yukari replied angrily.
"Come on guys," Tsukune said as he tried to get into the room, "enough with the arguing." Once he had gotten in he felt Moka's arms around his neck in a hug. It was nice at first until he felt her fangs on his neck.
It didn't take long for the other two to notice this as they tried to fight her off.
Tsuna was shocked at the things he saw here, he couldn't believe people actually acted like this. Tsuna suddenly got a cold chill down his spine. He turned and saw a girl with purple hair staring at him. Tsuna shouted in surprise, catching everyone's attention.
"Hey, Tsukune," Mizore said, "Who's the new guy?"
Before Tsuna could respond he found Kurumu's face up close to his as she inspected him. "Yeah, he is new isn't he? You're one of the guys that transferred here today."
Tsuna really wasn't sure what to say, he was afraid he might set any one of them off and who knows what they'd do to him then.
Tsukune got everyone inside and closed the door before he started explaining, just in case there were any prying ears.
"Ok," Tsukune said, "the reason I brought Tsuna here is because he and his friends are all humans."
"I knew I recognized that scared expression before," Kurumu said with a smile, "He's just like Tsukune when he first got here."
Moka giggled, "It's kinda funny," she said, "Now that Tsukune has someone to have seniority over, kinda like he's taken charge."
"You really think that, Moka?" Tsukune asked.
"Uh…" Tsuna said, "So what club was this again?"
"The Newspaper Club," Mizore responded, she made Tsuna nervous, always so quiet, and it was easy to not notice her.
"It is our duty to report the happenings around the school," Yukari piped in.
"Yeah, that is when our lazy editor decides to get off his ass and do some work," Kurumu said.
At that moment the door flew open and a tall guy with dark hair came in, "Everyone!" he said, "Battles have broken out all over the school!"
Everyone responded with a "WHAT!"
"It seems like people are picking fights with the new students that transferred here," Gin explained.
"Those are my friends!" Tsuna said standing up quickly, he began to rush out the door. To his surprise the others were not far behind. "You guys are coming too?" He asked.
"Of course," Gin said, "We have to report on this."
"Not to mention we want to make sure your friends are all right," Tsukune added.
Tsuna decided to head to the baseball diamond first; no doubt that was where Yamamoto was at. But before they could get anywhere a wall of black flame seemed to appear in front of them, stopping them in their tracks.
"Tsunayoshi Sawada," A voice called. Tsuna and the others turned to see someone standing on the roof of the building. Like everyone else he wore the school's uniform and had medium length black hair worn in a part. He smiled and dropped down to the ground. "It's about time we met face to face."
"What do you want with Tsuna?" Tsukune asked.
"Why don't you ask him yourself," The guy said.
They all turned to Tsuna. "I really don't know what he's talking about," he said.
"Really?" He said, "Well allow me to introduce myself," he took a quick bow, "Orrin Innotivo, Seventh head of the Innotivo family."
That explained it, this guy was mafia.
"I guess I really don't have a choice," Tsuna said. "Technically, I'm the next head of the mafia family Vongola. I'm sorry for not telling you all, I keep saying I don't want that kind of life, but trouble like this keeps following me. I'd understand if you didn't want to stick by me anymore."
All was silent for a moment then Tsukune turned back to Orrin and placed himself between him and Tsuna. "So what," he said to Tsuna, "Though we just met, you and I are friends. Even if you are a Mafioso, you're not the type to just abandon what you care for."
Tsuna was happy to see that Tsukune was willing to stick by him.
"If Tsukune is willing to fight for him," Kurumu said as she sprouted wings and a tail, her fingernails extending into claws, "Then it's good enough for me!"
Yukari brandished her wand as Ice formed around Mizore's hands to form claws. Gin even changed into his werewolf form and stood between Orrin and Tsuna.
Tsuna was a bit touched, "You guys," he said, "really don't have to do this."
"Fine," Orrin said as he cracked his knuckles, "I'll take a warm up."
They all charged him, but just as they were about to attack, Orrin disappeared, counterattacking with strong punches and kicks. He took out the four of them as if they were nothing, and he still had not revealed his monster form.
Tsukune was getting nervous when he noticed Moka's Rosario in his hand, "When did…" he started but was interrupted by Moka's transformation.
Tsuna was amazed to see the timid girl with pink hair transform into a very tough looking girl with white hair.
"Ah," Orrin said, "The almighty vampire, the most powerful of monsters. That is, only after you consider that my kind had supposedly gone extinct in the Middle Ages, therefore taking us off of the chart. But seeing as I do exist, that only makes you second best."
"You really like to hear yourself talk don't you?" Moka asked as she winded up for a kick, "Why don't you just shut up and learn your place!" She swung with a high kick to Orrin's head; everyone was surprised to see Orrin block it.
"It's rude to interrupt people you know," he said as he pushed Moka away. "While I doubt I would need to fully transform to beat you, but you did go as far as to show me yours, the least I could do is show you a fraction of the power of the Black Dragon." As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he sprouted black wings and a tail, horns growing from his forehead and claws appearing at his fingertips. Orrin smirked and put his hands together; pulling them apart he summoned a long black katana. "I suppose it's a bit overkill but I never get the chance to use it."
"Use whatever toys you like," Moka said, "they won't help you."
"Let's see then," Orrin said as he spread his wings and flew forward, attacking Moka with his sword. Moka managed to doge a few attacks, raising her arm for a block. Even Orrin was surprised to see his blade clash with Moka's arm as if hitting stone or metal. "A neat trick," Orrin said, "concentrating your demonic aura to your limbs, allowing them to withstand my blade. I guess there is a reason everyone regards you so highly." Orrin kicked her in the stomach then quickly flew behind her and stabbed her low in the shoulder. "Of course this only works on your arms and legs," He said as he pushed her off of his blade. He smiled and raised his sword above his head, "And to think they think your kind as the best there is."
Before Orrin could bring his sword down, Tsuna quickly took one of the Hyper Dying Will pills that Basil had given him and rushed out to the battlefield, catching Orrin's sword.
"It's about damn time," Orrin said.
"I didn't ask for your help," Moka said, her pride obviously hurt.
"It's me he's after," Tsuna said to her, "I don't want you guys involved any more into this."
"Now," Orrin said, "Let's see what the Vongola Tenth has to offer!"
