A/N: Guys, thank you so much for supporting me! No worries, the story isn't finishing, but I cannot express my gratitude for your guys' support. I FREAKING PASSED 1K FOLLOWERS! That was one thing I was not expecting. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter as much as I do! Also, I'd like to point out this is semi-AU so not everything will be according to the manga. .

"Talking"
Flashback/Thoughts
"Italian"
Warning: OOC-ness I apologize for that.
Tsuna groaned as he woke up to the unsightly noise, also known as an alarm clock. Something was going to go wrong today. He just knew it. He could feel it.
"Damn Hyper Intuition." Tsuna muttered as he got read for the day.
Tsuna was confused. A big crowd was in front of the school and a murmur was heard.
"What's that say?"
"Man, Hibari-san's going to kill this person."
"I can't believe they would graffiti the school wall."
"What's the message say?" "I don't know, it's in some weird language."
Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto finally managed to pass the crowd. "Man what's the big de-" Tsuna's voice trailed off as his bag dropped to the ground. "You've gotta be kidding me."
Ti stiamo aspettando, Vongola.
Was painted in big, fat, black graffiti paint.
"Crap! It's Hibari! Run!" the trio stood still as Hibari thundered towards the group, a dark expression etched on his face.
"Omnivore, explain. Now." Tsuna continued to gape. A hit to the head by Hibari's tonfa brought him out of his stupor.
"I-I don't, I mean, what the- what is this-!" Tsuna spluttered. "How do they know what school I attend?" Hibari scoffed. "It's obvious, it's because they know where you live. It's not that hard, omnivore." Hibari grunted as he walked away.
"Haha, Tsuna?"
"Hm? Yes Yamamoto?"
"What's that say?"
"… sorry Yamamoto, I kinda forgot you couldn't read Italian."
"Haha! It's alright!"
"It, uh, means that they'rewaitingforus." Tsuna mumbled.
"Hm? What was that Tsuna?" Tsuna groaned.
"It means that they're waiting for us!"
"Who?" Tsuna sighed. "Never mind Yamamoto, I'll tell you later, right now, we have to attend class."
The entire day, the whole school was in a buzz, even the teachers. Outside the school, stood a small figure in a tree. This is bad, the Varia are already here, Baka-Hiro isn't ready. Reborn tilted his fedora down in worry. "I guess I'll just have to speed things up." He muttered.
The entire day, Tsuna was anxious and troubled. Do they remember me? Did the Cradle affair change Xanxus and the Varia?
Gokudera and Yamamoto kept shooting worried and curious glances at Tsuna, who was fidgeting the entire time.
Tsuna, along with Gokudera and Yamamoto, were on their way to Tsuna's house when he saw a crowd at the entrance. Curious, he and his friends approached closer, wondering what was holding up the school this time. Tsuna froze as he saw two blond heads. His friends stared at him, worried.
It can't be… Tsuna's thoughts quickly turned into anger. "What is he doing here?" he growled quietly. Giotto appeared next to Tsuna, "Tsuna, I know you're stronger than this, please, be careful." Tsuna snorted, "Of course I will be." He turned to Yamamoto and Gokudera, "Sorry, about that Yamamoto, I have a sour relationship with one of the men there." Already knowing the situation, Gokudera took out some dynamite, "Would you like me to blow him up, Jyuudaime?" Tsuna shook his head, "No, I know you won't be able to, but thanks for cheering me up Hayato. I'll explain why later at my house, first, let's just try to pass unnoticed."
"Omnivore, is everything alright?" Tsuna smiled at Hibari's hidden concern. Having been friends with Hibari the longest, Hibari already knew about Tsuna's feelings about that man, he also knew about the Varia, which had pissed him off, since he could've fought with them, but Tsuna hadn't called. He owed Hibari three spars a day for that.
Tsuna nodded, his smile still in place, "Yeah, it's going to be okay, thanks Kyoya." He turned to the other two.
"Okay, are you guys ready? As invisible as possible." They nodded. Silently, but swiftly, the three started to maneuver around the crowd, and they were almost there, when-
"Tsunayoshi! Is that you?!" the blond man broke away from the crowd and started following them.
"Sh*t." Tsuna cursed, he started picking up his pace. Unfazed, Yamamoto and Gokudera started to match his pace as well.
"Tsunayoshi! Wait! Where are you going?!" Damn it! That man won't stop following me! Crap! I can't go home with him following me! What'll I do about Kaa-san? Sh*t, that mean I have to talk to him. *Sigh*, might as well get this over with. He turned to Yamamoto and Gokudera, "I need you guys to go to my house without me, I have to stay, or else that man will follow me home. I can't have that. Please?" he quickly added. They nodded.
"Omnivore, I will see you soon."
"Haha! Sure Tsuna!"
"Hai! Of course Jyuudaime!" Tsuna sighed, "Thank you. Go now!"
Tsuna watched his friends go and felt anger and dread swirling in his gut as the steps grew closer and closer until…
"Tsunayoshi! I can't believe that it's you! How are you?" Tsuna turned and was met face to face with the very man he hated to the bone.
His ex-father, Sawada Iemitsu.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" he asked. Iemitsu froze. "W-what are you talking about, Tsunayoshi? It's me, Papa!"
Tsuna hit his palm with his fist, in mock realization, "Ah, you mean that man who barely came home, and the last time he did, it was to break Kaa-san's heart? I remember!" Iemitsu flinched, but Tsuna continued, "Why are you here? I'm surprised you even bothered remembering me! Did you forget my mother though?" Tsuna pursed his lips, "It's too bad, for you," he added, "I can't let you near Kaa-san, don't want you to break her heart again…" he trailed off. He bowed stiffly.
"If that's all, I'll be on my way now. Don't follow me." Tsuna turned on his heel and walked off, leaving Iemitsu gobsmacked. Iemitsu shook his head.
"Wait!" he grabbed Tsuna's shoulder. Tsuna growled, "Get your hands off me bastard." He shrugged Iemitsu's hand from his shoulder. "Leave." When Iemitsu made no movement of doing so, Tsuna sighed and dashed home, leaving Iemitsu behind.
"Oho~? Iemitsu has another son? My my, I wonder if Nono knows…"
Tsuna sighed, drained as he entered his home. "Tadaima." He called out tiredly. "Okaeri, Tsu-kun!" Nana looked at him worriedly, "Tsu-kun? What's wrong?" Tsuna winced slightly, "Nothing Kaa-san, just had a tiring day." Tsuna smiled at his mother, who nodded and went back into the kitchen.
He went up the stairs.
"You bastard! How dare you ruin Jyuudaime's room!" Tsuna heard a crash.
"Haha! That's not very nice you know?" he heard another crash.
"VOOII! IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS! WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU GUYS ANYWAYS?!" Tsuna froze.
It can't be…
"Hmph, trash don't belong here."
"Maa, that's kinda rude you know, we're Tsuna's friends!"
"Prepare to die, trash." Tsuna burst into the room.
Familiar red and silver eyes stared into his brown ones.
"Xanxus…" "VOOI! I'M HERE TOO!" Tsuna gave a watery chuckle, "Of course Squalo, can't forget your 'I don't have an inside voice'."
"Trash, don't cry. Unbefitting for a rival." Tsuna quickly wiped his eyes and snorted, "Maybe, but this rival's gonna kick your ass." Xanxus smirked.
"I see you haven't lost your sass." Tsuna smiled, "Of course not."
"Well then trash, we came here-"
"I met Iemitsu." The room froze.
A/N: and that covers this chapter! Sorry, it would have gone longer, but I didn't want to make you guys wait for so long, and I was anxious to update soon and I have an exam tomorrow, so I'm stopping here for this chapter, and who knows when my next chapter will be out (like always, *sigh*). Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed it, and please, give me ideas for Hiro's guardians!
Thank you guys so much for this support!
