Summary: Semi-AU. Tsuna is not Vongola Decimo, but Vongola Primo says otherwise. He and the rest of the first generation train Tsuna to take his rightful place as Vongola Decimo, and to help find Tsuna's guardians.
"Talking"
Flashback/Thoughts
"Italian"
"Well then", a glint shone in his eyes, "shall we begin?" two charged.
Tsuna easily dodged both incoming attacks. He then stopped each sword with his hands, pausing the fight. "Well, with these swords, since you don't have much of a chance beating me, why don't you use real swords, and I'll use a bamboo sword? To make it even." he offered, smirking inwardly. Hiro and Mochida glanced at each other. Is Dame-Tsuna serious? Was what went through their minds. Mochida sneered. "Well well, looks like Dame-Tsuna has some backbone. Well, since he suggested it... "Mitoshi!" he called out to one of his club member. "Bring two katanas from the shed."
Kyoko worriedly looked at Tsuna. Be careful Tsuna-kun...
Tsuna, as if he read Kyoko's mind, turned and flashed her a reassuring smile. Kyoko visibly relaxed. Hana huffed. "Hpmh. Seriously, why are you worrying for that monkey? He looks like he can handle this." Hana reassured in the best way she could without insulting Tsuna. Kyoko smiled, understanding what her friend was trying to do. "Un!" she nodded, her attention returning to the fight.
Mitoshi came running back, carefully managing the katanas, so he wouldn't injure himself. Tsuna groaned. "Finally! Man, I was bored out of my mind! So, let's start?" he immediately received a jab, which he immediately dodged. Pfft. That was barely impressionable. It wasn't even correct. Tsuna continuously dodged with ease, starting to get bored at each jab. Tsuna sighed. If I end the fight, it won't even last a minute, with amateurs like these.
Tsuna decided to end the battle, as it was boring him. He dashes towards the two challengers, easily knocking their katanas out of their grasp. He then hit both of them on the head, hard. Hiro and Mochida collapsed like rag dolls. Tsuna dropped his now broken in half bamboo sword. He sighed. "Well, that was a bore." when he realized everyone was staring at him, he quickly grabbed his things and strode out of the gym.
When Tsuna exited the gym, a dark figure smirked. "What an interesting herbivore."
Next Day
Tsuna calmly walked to his class, successfully ignoring the curious stares directed at him. Giotto materialized besides him. "Do you regret doing that?" Tsuna looked at him for a split second and sighed.
"I don't regret helping Kyoko-chan, I just wish I could've done it without exposing myself. Reborn was most likely watching!"
Giotto smiled. "Well then, it's high time he sees potential in you, and you become Vongola Decimo." Tsuna sighed then smiled wearily.
"Yeah... I guess so."
Reborn
Reborn carefully spied on Hiro. He was happy with his athletic results, but his attitude? Wow. Now there's something he's going to need to work with. From his past observations, Hiro explodes at everything that angers or annoys him. Reborn saw no Sky attributes there. On his spare time, he spied on Tsuna. Well, more like glance then hide. That boy was too perspective. What if that boy has the Hyper Inutition? Is he somehow related to Iemitsu?
Reborn made a mental note to confront Iemitsu about this later. For now, he needs to make some plans...
Back to Tsuna
Tsuna sighed on his way back home. "Tsunayoshi, what's wrong?" Tsuna looked at Asari, "This day was just so tiring! Ugh! I just wanna sleep! Who cares about homework, I'm going to sleep the minute I get home. After dinner, of course." Asari chuckled.
"Such a lively boy- by the way, I saw that you barely even used your sword techniques on those boys, I wonder why?" Tsuna snorted. "I'll be serious when I see a talented swordsman, maybe your descendant." Tsuna smiled. Asari smiled too. "I look forward to that day." Tsuna chuckles as he continued on his way home.
"Tadaima Kaa-san!" Nana's head popped out of the kitchen. "Ah! Tsu-kun! Welcome home! Are? Where's Gokudera-kun?" Tsuna sweat dropped. "He...errr went to buy some things! So, he couldn't cone today." Nana clicked her tongue. "That's a shame. Well, make sure he cones by next time, okay?" "Hai Kaa-san."
Better not tell her that Gokudera-kun went to restock dynamite.
Tsuna went up the stairs, his Hyper Intuition flaring warning bells. As he opened the door, he dodged to the ground, and as he did, a handcuff slid across the hallway. "Hn. At least your guard is up." Alaude commented, as he went to sit on Tsuna's bed. A tick mark appeared on Tsuna's head.
"Wow, Alaude! You really are similar to your descendant! You might as well be father and son." Tsuna mocked, moving to sit on his chair.
"Hn, not possible. Such a child cannot be like me." Tsuna sweat dropped at the conceited retort.
"Hn, at least you guys don't meet. It would always be Hibari trying to make you fight him, and you refusing." Tsuna commented. He spun his chair to face his desk. He opened his laptop and turned it on, idling around until it was fully on. He went on the internet to find some current news on the mafia. He snorted at the mafia newspaper. Alaude came up to him.
"What's so ridiculous?" Tsuna rolled his eyes. "They actually put the headlines, 'Vongola's Tenth Boss is Finally Chosen!' on the front newspaper. They must be idiots." Alaude nodded.
"Tsunayoshi!~" Tsuna cringed, turning around in a painful manner. Tsuna felt irritation build up as he saw his great-great-great-great grandfather sitting on his bed, casually reading a book. Tsuna got out of his chair, and smacked his grandfather's head. Hard.
"Ow! Why would you do that?" Giotto soothingly rubbed his head, where a bump was. Tsuna clenched his fist in irritation.
"Obviously because of what you made Vongola like! They're even announcing to the whole mafia world that they found a successor! And they put who it is!" Tsuna sighed, collapsing into his seat, piching the bridge of his nose.
"I'm not surprised," Alaude smoothly cut in,"I guess Vongola bosses will always have Giotto's idiocy, no matter how far from the family tree they are from each other." Tsuna snorted in agreement.
Nana popped her head in. "Tsu-kun! It's time to eat!" Tsuna popped udp from his seat. "I'll be right there!" Nana giggled, going back downstairs. Tsuna followed not to soon.
Tsuna's mouth watered at the scene before him. Rice and miso soup, little rolls of omelets, boiled eggs that looked like chicks, salad, and sashimi. He immediately sat down, muttering a quick 'Ittadakimasu' and dug in.
His face brightened in delight as he chewed his food. His eyebrow rose when he ate the sashimi. "Is this from Takesushi?" Nana giggled. "Yep! But," she started, face dropping, "the son of Tsuyoshi looked sad when he delivered the food to me, I wonder what's wrong..." she had a dazed look.
Tsuna quickly finished his food, putting it away, and quickly going back upstairs, his Hyper Intuition sending warning bells. As Tsuna pounced on his bed, he couldn't help but worry...
Hey! So here was the ninth chapter! As I mentioned in my last author's note, I will most likely be updating late. One more thing, do you guys want Tsuna to have already met the Varia and are on good terms? Do you also want Tsuna to have flames of wrath? Also, the name Mitoshi is just a name that popped into my mind, I have no idea if that name exists, or if it's a girl's or a boy's. If you know, please tell. Constructive criticism is accepted! :)
Until next time,
Ciao!
