Tsuna POV

Nezu-sensei, and I use that title lightly, was passing out grades for his science class. My fingers twitched as he drew closer to my desk with an arrogant smirk on his face. The desire to knock him down a few pegs (or the whole ladder) was almost overwhelming. He stopped at my desk.

"This is just hypothetical," he says smugly, "but let's say there is a sole student that scored within the 20 point range and painfully lowered the class average."

"Keep on talking there Nezu. You're just digging your own grave."

"According to me, who's been through an elite course," he continued, "that kind of person would just be baggage and a burden on the education-conscious society."

With that he let the paper he had been holding in to be shown to the entire class. It was my paper with a 26 marked on it in red. The class bursted out laughing.

Unluckily for Nezu-sensei that was the moment Gokudera walked in, who, after hearing an insult to his precious tenth, started threatening him with dynamite.

Nezu screamed like a girl then fled to the principals office. Not long after we were called there as well.

"YOU ARE EXPELLED!" Nezu yelled the moment we stepped in. "Sawada and company should be expelled immediately!"

"If I recall correctly I did nothing but sit in a chair," I thought sweetly.

No ones POV

For some strange reason Nezu had a chill go down his spine but he ignored the feeling and continued on with his rant.

"To expel them right now would be hasty," the principal interupted, probably as sick of Nezu's voice as we were.

"So giving them a probation period would be fine," Nezu said trying to be sly. "Principal if I recall there was a 15 year old time capsule in the playground that we could not find. You were going to have it professionally dug up."

"Yes, what about it?"

"Let's have them do it. If they can find the time capsule by today then all of the issues will be forgiven, but if they don't then they will be expelled immediately," Nezu concluded.

Tsuna POV

With that we were sent off the search Gokudera running of immediately in his haste, but I stuck around a little longer and followed Nezu to the teacher lounge. He began tell another teacher about what happened.

"Man you're messed up Nezu-sensei, telling them to find a capsule that was never buried," the other teacher said.

"No it's the principle that's messed up, he forgot that 15 years ago there happened to not be a time capsule buried," Nezu laughed with a slimy grin on his face.

"Just as I thought," A grin found its way onto my face. "It's too bad you forgot that there was another time capsule buried in the park Nezu-sensei~."

I walked to the park and my intuition helped me find the spot I was looking for. Conveniently that was when Gokudera showed up with Reborn riding on his head.

"Gokudera-san," I called out to him. "Try your dynamite over here."

"Yes tenth!" He hollered as dynamite appeared in his hands. I stepped out of the blast rang and watched as the bombs went sailing through the air. Sadly as he was throwing the the bombs the rocks he had been standing on shifted causing the bombs to fall short and a piece of derby flew back and hit his head.

I sighed. That was impressive in a way. It takes some extraordinarily bad luck to pull off that stunt. Reborn looked at him then shook his head.

"He'll be fine," he told me then raised up a green gun. "Now, search with your dying will."

I suppressed a smile as he pulled the trigger. I was beginning to like those bullets. The flames inside me roared to life burning away as much of the binding shackles as it could while rising to the surface.

"FIND THAT CAPSULE AND HUG CONAN WITH MY DYING WILL!" I screamed then turned toward where I knew the capsule was.

I walked to it then crouched down and put one hand down to stabilize me. Lifting my other hand I formed a fist and felt as the beautiful orange flame coated it. I punched down as hard as I could and just as my fist hit the ground a small layer of purple flames mingled with the orange amplifying my strength, and a layer of indigo hid the existence of the purple flame.

The ground cracked open and a hum of satisfaction filled the back of my mind. The hum grew stronger as I opened the capsule and saw its contents.

"Perfect," I purred in my head. I turned around picked up Gokudera (who was starting to wake up), allowed Reborn to jump onto my head, then ran towards the school.

By the time we reached the school the dying will flames started to fisle out and I let out a small growl as my soul was sealed away once more. There were cracks on the seal, though, and those cracks are widening slowly but surely.

I dropped Gokudera to the ground and waited till he was fully awake before continuing. Not long after we found the principal and Nezu in the courtyard. There were a few teachers and students watching.

"We found the time capsule Principal-san," I said in a cheerful voice.

"Impossible!" Nezu yelled, his face twisting into an ugly snarle.

"Why?" I asked tilting my head to the side. "You make it sound like there wasn't a time capsule to find, but that couldn't be true. You're an elite after all, an elite wouldn't lie just to expel two students, would they?"

Nezu started to sweat. He swallowed hard before saying, "You're right an elite wouldn't do that."

I smiled sweetly. Playing dumb is so much easier when people think you aren't smart enough to beat them.

Motioned for Gokudera to show the time capsule. Nezu started to pale.

"We opened the capsule just to make sure it was the right one, and we found something interesting," I pulled out a few papers and Nezu went white as a ghost.

"You really shouldn't have picked on me for so long Nezu," I grinned evilly inside my head but kept my expression clueless.

"There was a few papers in there with the name Douhachiro Nezu on them. It must have been a different Nezu, right? Because our Nezu-sensei is an elite and couldn't possibly get grades this low," I innocently said looking at the red 2, 6, and 0 on the three papers. "After all just this morning when handing back my test Nezu-sensei himself said that anyone who gets into the 20 point range and below was baggage and a burden, no? There is no way this could be the same person, right?"

With each word I said Nezu grew paler (if that was even possible) until he started to look more green than white. He was drenched in sweat by the time I finished and trembled each time my gaze slid to his.

The principal took the papers and let us go to our class since we held up to our end of the bargain. Later we found out that Nezu was fired because of his fraudulent educational background. He had actually graduated as an F ranked student in college.

Shinichi had long since looked up up each of the teachers in my school and gave me blackmail material if they ever went too far. Nezu has been the only teacher that I have had to use the material for. It was worth the wait.
