Hello, guys! I'm sorry for not updating. I was feeling lazy seeing as the final exams are over and all. Ok, there's something I need to tell you guys. I've changed the format of the story. So, you might be confused seeing as it is different than the recent chapters. So, here you go.

So, enjoy the story! And of course, I love reviews :)
Chapter 5 ~ Reunion
"Don't just smile there! Help me think of something!" Tsuna snapped at the smiling man.
Think of what? Giotto asked innocently, cocking his head.
Tsuna silently cursed and growled, "You should at least warn me before switching places. Now, I have to deal with Reborn's suspicions and my guardians are probably thinking I have a personality switch or something which was in a sense half-true."
Giotto listened to his successor's ranting in amusement. To think that he was once a naïve young boy, who wouldn't dare talk back to him or utter a cuss word.
"Giotto!" Tsuna's voice brought him back to reality.
What?
Tsuna sighed and asked, "So how are we going to solve this?"
Hmm… I honestly can't think of anything. Put on your contacts first. You don't want anyone to find out about your eyes, do you? Giotto commanded the fuming brunette.
"Easy for you to say!" Tsuna yelled, finally losing his patience. With all his strength, he punched the mirror, shattering it into tiny bits. It was only a second later when he sensed someone behind him. He looked behind and saw Gokudera and Yamamoto gaping at him, wide-mouthed as if he had gone nuts or something.
He abruptly realized (with a shock) that he had forgotten to put in his contact lenses, which meant that what Gokudera and Yamamoto were seeing now, was their boss with blue eyes.
"Jy-Jyuudaime….?" Gokudera asked in a small voice. "A-are you alright?"
"Huh?" Tsuna lifted his hand and saw that it was bleeding. He paused and looked up at Gokudera for a moment. He then looked at his hand again, this time with wider eyes.
"OWWWWWWWW!" He screamed loudly.
"Tsuna!" Yamamoto yelled.
"Jyuudaime! Are you okay?" Gokudera yelled over Tsuna's screams of pain.
Reborn stepped in and asked curtly, "What's with the ruckus? If you don't quiet down, Hibari's gonna bite you to death."
'Shit! Reborn's here! Contacts! Where are they?' Tsuna yelled inwardly as he scrambled for his contacts.
Hurry, Tsunayoshi! It's at the sink over there! Giotto urged the panicking Decimo.
'Thanks, Giotto!' Tsuna thought gratefully as he reached out for his contacts into his eyes. He turned around cautiously and lifted his uninjured hand and said, "Yo, Reborn!"
"Eeh? Tsuna, wasn't your eyes blue just now?" Yamamoto said, laughing.
Tsuna laughed nervously, wincing slightly at the pain. He carefully made sure not to meet anyone's eyes and said, "It must be your imagination! My eyes are brown!"
"Yeah! Everything the Jyuudaime says is true! So stop bugging him, you baseball nut!" Gokudera snapped at Yamamoto. Tsuna sweatdropped at how easy was it to convince them.
'Suspicious' Reborn thought, narrowing his eyes slightly. 'His eyes were blue? Hmm…He might have been taking off his contacts to sleep last night. It's the most logical thing.'
Tsuna mentally sighed.
Looks like that arcobaleno's suspicions has grown to the third level. Giotto said, chuckling slightly.
'And whose fault do you think it was?' Tsuna snapped back, biting his lower lip to stop himself from shouting out loud.
"Jyuudaime! Your hand's sill bleeding!" Gokudera broke into Tsuna's mental conversation with Giotto.
"Oh, shit! I forgot all about it!" Tsuna cursed himself for his stupidity and he rushed to the infirmary to treat his wounded hand. Luckily, the doctor (Doctor Shamal) was not there. (I think you know what'll happen) He quickly cleansed the wound, applied the ointment and bandaged it.
As the three of them headed back to class, people kept staring and pointing at them. With the addition of Tsuna, they were most likely the most popular trio now. Not used to it, Tsuna felt awkward and started to fidget.
To get rid of the awkward feeling, he turned towards his guardians and asked, "Where's Nii-san?"
Gokudera let out a small 'Oh!' and replied, "Well, you see….."
-Flashback-
"WHERE THE EXTREME IS SAWADAA? HE'S LATE TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei yelled, punching his fist into the air.
"What do you mean he's late? He just went out 5 minutes ago, turftop!" Gokudera shouted back at Ryohei who was still punching his fist into the air and yelling 'Extreme!'
"SHUT UP, OCTOPUS HEAD!" Ryohei yelled. "I'M GONNA FIND SAWADA TO THE EXTREME!"
With that, he flung the door open and ran down the steps.
-Present-
"…and that's what happened." Gokudera said, shrugging his shoulders.
Yamamoto then laughed and said, "But he never did came back! So we came to find you instead!"
-Meanwhile-
Ryohei looked around and examined his surroundings. "THIS IS STRANGE TO THE EXTREME! I WAS AT SCHOOL EARLIER! BUT WHERE THE EXTREME IS THIS PLACE?"
Beside him, a sheep went "Baaa~~"
The sounds of yelling echoed through the evening.
-After school-
"I'VE FINALLY COME BACK TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei yelled in front of the school, causing passerbys to jump in terror.
"Onii-chan?" A soft voice called out to the yelling guardian.
Ryohei turned towards the voice and said, "Kyoko! What's wrong?"
Kyoko smiled, tucking her orange hair behind the ear. After one year, her hair had grown longer.
"I'm going to Tsuna-kun's house. Coming? Chrome is coming as well."
"ALRIGHT TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei shouted. Suddenly he stopped in his tracks as he realized something.
"What's wrong, onii-chan?" Kyoko asked, noticing her brother's action.
Ryohei suddenly clutched his head with his hands and yelled again, "I FORGOT TO THE EXTREME! I WAS SUPPOSED TO FIND SAWADA!"
"Eeh?" Kyoko exclaimed, shocked by the sudden news. "He came back already?"
"Yeah." Ryohei answered, slightly calmer. "But he looks very different though."
Kyoko then grabbed her brother's hand and started running. "Let's hurry, then! He might be back already!"
Ryohei protested as they sped through the streets of Namimori, not showing any signs of tiring and not even noticing a certain trio who were strolling leisurely while chatting animatedly.
When the siblings reached their destination, they were greeted by the sight of Chrome and the two boys who were right behind her.
"Chrome-chan!" You're early today!" Kyoko gushed, letting go of her brother's hand and clasping Chrome's hands in hers.
Chrome gave a tiny nod, smiling shyly when suddenly, they were greeted by some bickering between two familiar people. Behind them, smiling in amusement, was a young man none of them saw before except Ryohei.
Ryohei noticed the trio and gave a wave, before addressing Tsuna, "SAWADAAAA! WHERE THE EXTREME WERE YOU?"
Tsuna replied, "I was at the bathroom. You must have turned into the wrong direction. I was worried. Where in the world did you run off to?"
Ryohei laughed nervously and replied, "Somewhere…."
Tsuna's eyes then landed on Kyoko and Chrome who were both staring at him cautiously. He smiled reassuringly, "Konnichiwa, Kyoko-chan, Chrome. Long time no see."
"Tsuna-kun!" "Boss.." Both of them said happily, finally reunited with the brunette.
"Hahi? Tsuna-san?" Another familiar voice rang through the neighborhood.
Tsuna turned stiffly and greeted Haru, "Konnichiwa, Haru."
Haru then attempted to jump and hug the now taller brunette but had obviously and epically failed. Tsuna had sidestepped at the last moment and allowed the girl to embrace the cement road lovingly with her face. He mumbled a silent apology.
Ken guffawed with laughter at Haru's misfortune while Chikusa half-heartedly reprimanded him.
"I'll change first." Tsuna told his guardians hastily before he quickly turned and half-ran into the house, shouting "I'm back!"
As he stepped into his room, a voice dripped with venom suddenly said, "Don't forget your promise to fight, Sawada Tsunayoshi."
"I never break a promise." Tsuna sincerely said. "It's just that, now's not the right time. There will be a feast tonight, it seems."
"Hn. Now shut up or I'll bite you to death." Hibari replied.
"Alright, alright. But, would you please come down from the roof?" Tsuna cried, peeping out from the window, trying to take a glimpse of Hibari.
No reply came. It looked like he had fallen asleep on the roof.
'Giotto?' Tsuna called for the blonde man mentally.
What? Is something the matter, Tsunayoshi?
'I can't help feeling something bad is going to happen.'
Me too. Let's just hope whatever is coming is avoidable.
'Just go on with the flow, eh? Doesn't sound bad.'
You got my point, so do it. Questions?
'None' Tsuna thought as he slowly descended the stairs and slowly walked into the kitchen. His head was silent once more. After confiding to Giotto, he felt slightly relieved but he still couldn't help feeling a little worried. A feast greeted Tsuna with plenty of food spreaded on the table. Nana hummed as she carried loads more of food onto the table.
Everyone greeted their boss as they saw him coming down, changed into a white shirt and dark pants.
"Okay, guys! Dig in!" Nana said cheerfully. The children yelled with delight.
"Itadakimasu!" Everyone chorused in unison. They started eating. It was a night full of happiness and joy. To Tsuna's shock, everyone decided to sleep over in his house since there was no school on the next day.
Half-way through the celebration, Tsuna noticed Reborn sneaking out of the house. Hibari, of course had returned to goodness where (maybe he really does live on the school's roof!)
When it was midnight, everyone had already fallen asleep. The guys all bunked down in the living room. Tsuna had retreated into his sanctuary for the night. He couldn't help yawning after hearing Giotto snore in his head. The girls were shown into the guest room. Reborn nor Iemitsu had not returned.
No one did notice two figures sneaking into the Sawada residence as they stealthily and quietly climbed up the stairs and into Tsuna's room.
Two shadows loomed over Tsuna's sleeping figure. One took out his phone and reported to their boss that the mission was successful.
Their master wore a cruel smirk as he hung up from the call with his subordinate. "I've got you now, Vongola Decimo. Even your hyper intuition won't save you this time."
Maniacal laughs filled the dark room as a dart struck a picture of Tsuna on the wall.
How was it? This chapter was way longer than the others. Special thanks to xXDarkangelx for the toilet scene. Enjoy and cheers :)
