OH YEAH, also my writing style's changed from the first 2 chapters. Just the clarify italics are thoughts from that persons view. If there's any doubling up on character thoughts, please point them out to me. Thank you!

Last night.

"Yes…yes… that's correct…yes. Well then, I'll be seeing you tomorrow Hayato." Click.

Tsuna sat in his room listening to Reborn's phone conversation .Hayato? As in smoking bomb Hayato? I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow.

"Omg there's another transfer student! And he's from Italy!"

"I think I saw him at the front office. He's a total hottie!"

"Did we do something good? Kami-sama keeps giving us all these delicious boys"

OMG… fangirls… again. Don't they ever stop gossiping? Wait, Italy? Could it be smoking bomb?

"ahhh! Tsuna!"

Yamamoto came running down the hallway to catch up to him.

"Uwoh! Tsuna you sure walk fast. Hehehe come on! Class starts in a minute." He grabbed Tsuna's hand and led him the rest of the way to class.

"Takeshi… it feels just like the old times. But I can't involve you into my business. Never again… Not after all of that." Tsuna couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. It was his fault and he knew it. He could only hope that Yamamoto may be able to truly love someone again. They made it to class on time, giving them a full 45 seconds before the teacher came in.

"Students settle down now. We have another transfer student today as well. He came all the way from Italy so please treat him well. Introduce yourself." The teacher announced.

Just as Tsuna had thought; in the flesh was smoking bomb Hayato with his trademark scowl on his face. In the mafia world, hit men range from all ages; him being no exception. He was known as the human bomb, hiding a ridiculous amount of dynamite underneath his clothes. Just what is Reborn up to?

"KYAHHH! HE'S BETTER THEN WE EXPECTED!"

"Wow… just wow. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world just to have him in my class."

"Look at that body! He's so slender yet toned!"

"The names Gokudera Hayato. Moved here by myself due to my parent's job."

"Okay, please take a seat in any of the empty chairs."

"Woah, this guy means business."

"Yeah if looks could kill, I think we'd be dead."

I better be wary of this one, he might get even more fangirls than me. I know! I'll be his friend and then we'll be the top bachelors of the school. Then Kyoko will finally recognise me! Natsume smirked.

Have I done something wrong? Gokudera keeps eyeing me like I'm a piece of meat. I mean seriously what could reborn have sai-…. You're kidding me. Don't tell me that he's mistaken me for Natsume. Great, just great. Just when I thought 1 hit man was enough, now I have this guy on my tail too, but why does he look so threatening? It looks as if he wants to fight me. Ah this almost sucks as much as my first assignment I ever got.

Time skip all the way to lunch. Yamamoto had been sent home after showing outstanding symptoms of the common cold.

Tsuna packed up his things as quickly as he could in attempt to flee before Gokudera could 'have a word' with him. Why can't he just realise he has the wrong guy? Go stare at Natsume, not me. Geez, why does Takeshi have to go home today of all days?" He was already at the front of the room, literally metres away from the safety of the hallways, or at least the time it would bring. Just a little more and I'll be out the door.

"Oi sawada. You, me outside. Now." Gokudera demanded.

"What's going on?" Students around started whispering.

"Are they having a fight outside?"

"Hey maybe we should follow them just in case."

What the hell is happening now? He was about to leave to have lunch with his friends.

"Oi sawada. You, me outside. Now." Is he talking to me? He look over to the direction of the voice and realised he was talking to Tsuna. Well he can get himself out of this situation. Not gonna bail him out this time.

Gokudera shot all the students a vicious glare.

Nope too late. I could either run or fight him… RUNNING! Tsuna broke into an all-out dash out of the room startling everyone. Gokudera was the first to react and sprinted to catch up to him.

Tsuna sprinted down the hallway in an attempt to outrun the boy at his heels. Why does he have to run fast? For Tsuna this was really just jogging because seriously, you would hope that eight years of training built up his stamina. But because he is one of the best hit men and also the fastest of them all, his fastest running was way past the speed of a normal boy, thus rendering him running at 'normal human speed'.

Geez running around all these students is so tedious. I just wanna go full speed and sit on the roof or something. More students were bypassed in their high-speed chase, running out of their way so they wouldn't get trampled on. Just as lady luck was on Tsuna's side, Hibari had just turned the corner heading straight towards him. THE FIRST LUCKY THING THAT'S HAPPENED TODAY! Judging from his memory and stories from other students, he's sure that Hibari will stop him for running down the hallway. He'll just have to dodge Hibari's attack when he passed him, leaving Gokudera all the rage to deal with. Tsuna sped up his running ever so slightly, anticipating when Hibari would strike. 1,2,3… DUCK AND DASH. He had successfully dodged Hibari and Gokudera ran straight into him. But poor Tsuna was so fixated on freedom he hadn't realised the hallway ended and ran directly into a window that was conveniently placed on the end of every hallway, smashed it and fell from the second storey to the ground in a loud thud. Oops.

"Tsk, new herbivores think they can run in my hallway?" Hibari had just turned the corner to see both new students running down the hallway. He lashed out his tonfa, genuinely surprised when the first boy dodged it and continued running. The second boy was not as agile and crashed right onto him. Shatter. He looked up to find that the supposed smart one planned on smashing through the window or had failed to realise that the hallway ended and seemingly ran into the window. Either way it was stupid.

He was surprised, honestly. Tsuna if he remembered correctly by the colour and style of his hair.

"What the hell!? You wanna fight?"

The source of the voice came from the second boy. Gokudera Hayato as it said on his application form. He pulled out some dynamite and threw it at Hibari.

"Bringing weapons to school is against the policies. I am the only exception."

He swiftly dodged the dynamite and struck Gokudera right in the temple. Gokudera stumbled back and felt the blow of a kick to his abdomen. Fallen on the floor and clutching his stomach in evident pain, Hibari closed in for the finishing move. WHAM, there it was. Gokudera was knocked out cold by the second strike of the tonfa to the head. He really should've been out cold by the first hit but Hibari paid no mind to that he his thoughts lingered on the brunet.

Alright so I did get out of that situation, but what do I do when I get back to class? Tsuna brushed himself off and stood up off the ground. The fall was not painful for him at all, having been numbed to average pain by this point in time. But now the problem was getting back to class without looking suspicious and avoiding Gokudera… NO SCREW THAT. HE JUST GOT BACK UP AND HEADED OUT OF SCHOOL.

"Haven't had ice-cream in a while"

Hidden within one of the many elaborate passages of the school, Reborn saw Tsuna walking towards the school gate even though school hadn't ended yet. No skipping school on my watch. Stepping on many branches, he easily made his way down to Tsuna.

"And where do you think you're going Tsuna? I may be tutoring your brother but that doesn't mean that I can't keep an eye out for you too."

"Hieee" Tsuna sarcastically said. Jeez, do you know how much trouble I went through because of you? Tsuna really did NOT want to see Reborn right now.

"I was just… just… just on my way home!"

"Why?"

"Because I'm feeling a little bit dizzy."

"Shouldn't you have gone to the office first to validate early departure?"

"…"

"I'm sure your mother would be disappointed if you skipped school like this Tsuna."

Ahh jeez… why'd you have to mention mum? Tsuna cringed as an image of his mother popped into his mind. I can't leave and I can't go back. What do I do now?

"You know a man never runs from his fears" the look in his eyes lead tsuna to believe that there was more to what he was saying.

"…"

Reborn turned around and started walking back to his elaborate hiding maze.

"Also, you run pretty fast tsuna. Maybe try out for the track team?" With that he leapt back into the darkness.

Something was off about the way he said that, so terribly off. He couldn't know already… could he?

Next chapter we have the fight!

Thank you again for reading and have a wonderful night! (or day XD Depends on the kind of person you are)
