A/N: I got more feedback for this story than I thought I would. I'm happy. Thank you :3

Remember to ask me questions madararui if you have any. :) More plot is revealed in this chapter and even more in the next and even more in the next...

Story thus far: Tsuna has been thrust into the madararui world after learning he is a Returners to Ancestry from Yamamoto, but monkeys have the natural instinct to ignore things they don't understand and shut out madararui talk, so he's writing it all off as insanity. Ryohei used a special heavy-seed move called blinding so that Tsuna can't freely see another's Soul's Appearance anymore. But to protect Ryohei from Hibari's wrath, they covered Tsuna with the smell of a heavy-seed snake. Ever since, Yamamoto and Ryohei have been getting closer to Tsuna, trying to teach him of their world… Meanwhile, three Italians have arrived in Namimori, seemingly with each having reasons of his own.

"So if a madararui gets mad, sleepy, surprised, or excited, then their Soul's Appearance will easily come out." Yamamoto said. "You can't see mine right now, can you?"

Tsuna shook his head then pointed to Ryohei. "But I think I can see onii-chan's a bit. He's a honey bear, right?"

Yamamoto laughed. "Yeah, that's 'cause Ryohei's pretty much always losing some control of his Soul's Appearance, which isn't really good since seeing another person's Soul's Appearance is similar to seeing them naked."

Tsuna blushed and tried covering himself. "Can you see my souls's shape?" He asked, flustered.

Without hesitating, Ryohei and Yamamoto answered, "Yeah."

"Damn." Tsuna said under his breath.

Yamamoto ruffled the smaller boy's hair. "Haha, it's okay! We'll work on that later, I guess, but for now you still need to learn more."

"Let's go back to talking about how the shape of your soul and the shape of your physical body can switch." Ryohei said, twisting his arms as though displaying the situation.

Yamamoto's eyelids drooped and his face became dark. "Stop." He commanded. The other two stopped and Ryohei feared what Yamamoto was going to ask next. "It might be kind of hard, Ryohei," Yamamoto started. "But switch your soul and your body to show Tsuna."

Ryohei blushed. "F-Fine… since we extremely need to teach him!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! It was a bear! It was a real bear! I'm scared! I'm scared!" Tsuna screeched as he sprinted his way to school.

"Tsuna!" Ryohei and Yamamoto called out after him. "Tsuna! Wait!"

"Waah! I'm scared! I'm—" In the middle of his mad dash, Tsuna tripped head first. As he fell, he prepared for pain to slam into his face with unyielding mercy. He shut his eyes and held his breath, but no pain came. "Huh?" He murmured, slowly opening his eyes back up. He looked up to see a curly-haired boy and a slim silver-haired student looking down on him. The silver-haired kid had Tsuna in his arms, stopping the boy in the middle of his fall.

"Goddamn," Gokudera mumbled. "Aren't you supposed to be part cat? Land on your feet. On your feet."

"Goodness," Lambo said, running a hand through his mess of hair. "Leave'im alone. We've got things to do."

Reluctantly, Gokudera let Tsuna go and walked off with Lambo. "Tch. Whatever."

When Ryohei and Yamamoto caught up with Tsuna, the two others had already gone. "You can go pretty fast when you're scared!" Yamamoto laughed, which hurt since he was a little out of breath.

"You don't need to be afraid to the extreme!" Ryohei shouted. The two stared at Tsuna who was clearly dumbfounded.

"Tsuna, what's wrong?" Yamamoto asked.

Tsuna shook. "Th-that guy just now…"

"Hm, who?" Ryohei asked.

"He's gone now, but…" Tsuna put his hands to his throat. "I think he wanted to kill me."

"Raising kids can be tough." The man said to Dino. "Especially when presented with such an important meaning to their life at such a young age."

"Maybe they can relate to each other and become friends then." Dino said while sliding on a shirt.

"Going somewhere?" The man asked while picking up a turtle from its tank.

"Just for a walk until school's out and we go see him." Dino replied. "I'm very excited about this meeting. What did you say his name was again?"

"Tsunayoshi Sawada." The man answered. "Tsuna for short."

"Hopefully him and Lambo can become friends."

"You already said that."

"I know, I just have really high hopes. I also wish that he's okay."

"Which one?"

"Both, but I just need Tsunayoshi to still be available."

"You're really set on this aren't you?" The man whispered while dangling the turtle by its tail.

"Hey!" Dino called out. "Don't do that to Enzo, you'll hurt him!"

"Who was the one who got you this stupid thing in the first place?" The man chuckled.

Dino huffed. "It doesn't mean you can do what you want with him, Reborn. Put him back."

Reborn shrugged and tossed the turtle into the tank. Dino felt a vein pulse on his forehead. "How cruel! You shouldn't treat your fellow reptiles that way!"

Reborn smirked and let out another chuckle. "Well, what can I say? Us crocodiles tend to be cold."

Tsuna plopped into his seat, feeling more worn out than ever which was all because of this madararui thing. He was so tired because all before even homeroom started, he'd seen a bear, felt an intense murderous intent from a stranger, and even worse, Hibari, the dangerous leader of the prefects had been eying him! Ryohei and Yamamoto said that lots of heavy-seeds would want to mate with him. Tsuna was very distressed when he found out that Hibari just so happens to be a heavy-seed (How could two guys mate anyway? He wondered). Yamamoto and Ryohei also let him know what they were. Ryohei was a heavy-seed Sun (or Honey) bear and Yamamoto was a middle-seed Akita dog. He looked around the room, studying the faces of each student. Now that he knew about madararui, he could only speculate how many of his classmates were a part of this world…

"Tsuna-kun," Kyoko called out, placing her hands on Tsuna's desk making him jump. "Aren't you excited? We're getting transfer students today!"

"We are?" Tsuna said absent-mindedly, he was remembering once seeing Kyoko's Soul's Appearance. She was a bear, but not one like his senpai. "Why now?"

"Who knows?" Kyoko said. "I hope we can make friends with them, don't you, Tsuna-kun?"

Tsuna nodded. "Yeah…" Ah, he was so angry with himself. Despite his crush being right in front of him trying to make conversation, but his mind is totally distracted by this madararui situation. Totally unfair!

"Go to your seats, everyone!" Their homeroom teacher called out. Quickly, students scampered to their chairs. "Now, I am happy to announce that we have two new students to add to our class today! Why don't you come in, Gokudera-kun and Lambo-kun?" Whispers erupted, so the teacher whapped their ruler onto their podium to quiet everyone down. There was a pause before the door slid open just a bit. A silver cat ear poked in, then retreated. The madararui in the classroom giggled. Tsuna wondered why then remembered two things: Ape-men can't see Soul's Appearances and seeing one's Soul's Appearance is like seeing one naked. So, seeing the cat ear of the transfer student was probably most similar to seeing someone in only their underwear.

"Go in!" Lambo hissed.

"No way!" Gokudera whined. "You pissed me off and now my ears and tail are showing! How humiliating!"

"Man," Lambo said with a long whistle. "You're tail is ugly."

"Shuddup!" Gokudera said, looking at his butt to see his stubbly tail. "It's not my fault I'm a Japanese bobtail!"

"It's your mother's."

"Didn't I tell you to shut up!"

"Come in here, you two!" The teacher roared.

Gokudera pushed Lambo in, then whispered, "Stall! Give me time to calm down."

Lambo nodded and waved to the class. "Hey."

All the girls immediately swooned, especially Kurokawa Hana.

"He's cute!"

"He's sexy!"

"He's beautiful!"

Some the guys scoffed and rolled their eyes in response to the girls' reactions.

"Well," The teacher said. "Introduce yourself!"

Lambo scratched his cheek. "Goodness, um… I'm an Inujinnin," This statement went right over the monkeys' heads and made Yamamoto's eyebrow raise. "My favorite food is grapes. I'm from Italy and I hope to be friends with all of you guys." He looked out the door to see Gokudera's face was flushed, but he had calmed down now and his ears and tail were out of sight. "And this next guy is a total idiot."

The classroom broke out into giggles which made Gokudera storm in and silence them all. His look was intense and he had a cigarette in his mouth.

"Hey!" The teacher said. "Put that out this minute!"

Gokudera scoffed and tossed the cigarette to the floor, then stomped it out.

Tsuna shivered in his seat, tears on the verge of coming out. That guy… he thought, is the one who wanted to kill me!

"My name," Gokudera began. "is Hayato Gokudera. I hate being called by nicknames and being underestimated. I came here for a specific reason, so don't go bothering me, 'cause I only care about my mission, got it?"

If he were a heavy-seed, the class would've been intimidated, but by smell they could tell he was nothing more than a light-seed Nekomata. People leaned over to each other to gossip.

"Who does he think he's scaring?"

"What a cute kitty."

"Hmm~ He's kind of hot. I might want to spend a night with him."

Yamamoto couldn't take his eyes off the silver-haired boy as the teacher directed the new students to their seats.

"Lambo-kun, you can take the seat in the back at the left, which means you'll be sitting behind Rie-san. Gokudera-kun you'll sit in back, towards the middle, behind Tsunayoshi-kun." The teacher said before getting started with the rest of the class meeting.

On Gokudera's way to his seat, he stopped next Tsuna while the teacher's head was down and kicked the boy and his desk over. Their classmates gasped and laughed.

"Ow…" Tsuna groaned, rubbing his head and fixing his desk.

Lambo glowered at Gokudera who huffed and sat at his seat like nothing happened.

"Tsuna, are you okay?" Yamamoto asked.

"Yeah, fine…" Tsuna muttered, trying to ignore the murderous intent that was burning into his back.

It was lunch time, so the class was scattered. Lambo took this chance to pull Gokudera aside to talk. He brought the boy outside, next to the school building.

"What do you think you're doing?" Lambo snarled.

"You don't get what that guy has done to me!" Gokudera said, kicking at the ground.

"It doesn't matter! You shouldn't be touching him!" Lambo said.

"Why?"

"He's the reason Dino is here!"

"I knew it!"

"I should've listened to him." Lambo told himself. "I didn't know you came here to harass Dino's target."

"I won't be the only one!" Gokudera said. "That other guy will probably make his move too."

"Yeah, Dino was planning on protecting Tsunayoshi from him or at least until Dino got what he wanted."

"What a selfish guy."

"With the burden he's carrying, I'd say he's the exact opposite."

"Being that last of anything doesn't give you an excuse to be a brat! I mean, how hard can it be?"

Lambo bristled at this comment. "Stop talking like you know everything!" He yelled.

Gokudera was taken aback. "What's with you?" He pat Lambo's head. "You've been so jittery lately."

Lambo looked to the floor. "It's just…"

"Hey, it's you!" Yamamoto called out, jogging up to the boys. "Glad I found you." He said to Gokudera.

Gokudera could feel the hairs on the back of his neck rise. "Ew!" He retorted. "Go away! Gross! I hate dogs and now I'm surrounded by them!"

"That's cold." Yamamoto laughed. "But…" His eyes focused on Lambo. "There's only one true dog here, isn't there?"

Lambo flinched. "Wh-What are you talking about?" He growled.

"Ha ha, just joking!" Yamamoto said. He put a hand on Gokudera's head. "You know, what you did to my buddy back there wasn't very cool." He smiled. "If you do something like that again, I'll get pretty angry. Do you really want to try a light-seed like yourself against me, the second heaviest of middle-seed Inujinnin?"

Gokudera glared up at Yamamoto and swatted the other boy's hand away. "Don't even think about laying a hand on me! Lambo and I have very powerful connections that you don't want to mess with!"

"Gokudera!" Lambo shouted. Gokudera scowled and backed away from Yamamoto, standing next to Lambo, both appearing very defensive.

Yamamoto smirked. "Lookit, you guys are afraid of me. You don't have to be so scared. I won't hurt you unless you give me good enough reason." He waved at them as he strode away. "So don't pick on my friends again, okay?"

"Err… that cocky bastard." Gokudera mumbled. "All bark and no bite!"

"Bite?" A voice from above sounded. Gokudera and Lambo looked up to see Hibari sticking his head out the window with his lips curled into a sly grin. "If you're looking get bitten, cute kitty, then come to my office anytime."

"What did you say to me?" Gokudera screamed. "You bastard! Come say that to my face!"

Hibari merely turned away and closed the window.

"Damn these assholes." Gokudera cursed. "Everyone here sucks."

Lambo covered his face as though hoping that no one would remember that he was associated with Gokudera."You idiot. Do you realize what you just said to a heavy-seed? On top of threatening a middle-seed! You must've lost your mind… then again, you've always been like this."

"What! It's not my fault that I have reasonable motives for hating this! That dog is a douchebag, that big cat is a pervert, and that so-called super rare 'retrograde' is nothing more than an ignorant fool who is completely unaware of the lives he's ruining!" Gokudera sneered. "I wouldn't have wanted to transfer here if I'd known that on top of dealing with the jerk whose ass I came to kick, I'd also have to put up with a school filled with weirdoes!"

Gokudera then marched off in a huff making Lambo drag his feet after the boy.

Hanging out on the roof for lunch, Ryohei's face was a bright red as he laid his head on Tsuna's lap. Tsuna sipped on some juice whilst staring down at Ryohei's happy face. "I don't get it." Tsuna said. "What's so great about laying on another guy's lap?"

Ryohei rubbed his cheek against Tsuna's thigh. "As a retrograde you have an extremely nice scent! Even though it's covered up with the stench of a snake, when I'm this close, I can smell it…"

Tsuna blushed unknowingly. "Hey, I thought you did something to make perverts go away, onii-san! Don't tell me you're becoming strange too!"

Ryohei sat up then brought his face so that it was only inches from Tsuna's. Tsuna could feel his heart beating faster and squirmed uncomfortably. "You know," Ryohei said, his voice sounding deeper, huskier, and more lust-filled. "I've blinded you so that my pheromones are the only ones you'll be attracted to." He gently touched Tsuna's face. "No one will touch you and only I can, retrograde."

Tsuna trembled, his whole body heating up. What is this? He asked himself. I'm getting turned on by a guy.

"Hey," Ryohei said. "Let's…" Ryohei leaned his face in closer.

At this moment, despite becoming very hot and bothered, Tsuna's only thought was 'No way is my first kiss going to be with a guy!' And it certainly wasn't. Not with Ryohei at least. For at the last second, Tsuna's soul's appearance switched with his physical body and at the same time, Yamamoto showed up, kicking Ryohei in the head.

"Senpai," Yamamoto said smiling with a visibly pulsing vein on his temples. "We agreed that we'd remain neutral to the retrograde and only help him as friends, remember?"

Ryohei clutched onto the injured spot on his head. "That extremely doesn't matter now! Look!" He pointed to the shivering mixture of a cat and monkey before them. Yamamoto picked it up. "Ah, Tsuna's soul shape came out into a physical manifestation."

"A monkey-cat mix…" Ryohei noted.

"It looks like a lemur with a mane."

"The cat in his family must've been a lion!"

"What? No way!"

Poof! And there Tsuna was, a blubbering mess in Yamamoto's arms.

"You guys," He sniffled. "I'm creeped out. What just happened?"

And, boy, were those two bad at explanations.

On his way home with Ryohei and Yamamoto at his sides (Ryohei walking a few paces back because of a demand by Tsuna), Tsuna sobbed about his earlier experience. "How embarrassing…" he said. "I can't believe I got aroused by a guy."

Yamamoto snickered at this. "Not only that, but to the point where you changed into your Soul's Appearnace!"

"Don't make it worse!" Tsuna roared.

"I extremely apologize again, Tsuna!" Ryohei shouted.

"Don't talk to me, pervert!" Tsuna yelled before running off. "You're all crazy!"

Yamamoto sighed and gave Ryohei a slightly evil look. "See what you did! That's why we said we'd be nothing more than his friends!"

"It's his smell!" Ryohei said. "It's too good to the extreme! Besides having blinded him…"

"That's the problem then! Cancel the blinding!" Yamamoto commanded.

"So that he can freely see everyone's Soul's Appearance again? Never! Not until he's gotten some training!"

"Ergh, we suck at training him! What are we supposed to do?" Yamamoto said with a hopeless tone.

An adult chuckle came from behind the two. They turned their heads to see a tall, slim brunette man who was donned in a suave black suit with a matching black hat that had a orange rim. With that man was a cool-looking blond guy with a confident expression and lengthy tattoo on his arm.

"Children shouldn't worry about training children." The brunette, Reborn, said.

The blond, Dino, ruffled Yamamoto's hair. "Leave that to us."

Ryohei and Yamamoto stood frozen in place by the strangers' overwhelming aura. Such power… they both thought.

"Wh-who… who are you guys?" Yamamoto stuttered.

"Hm? Me?" Reborn asked, putting a hand on his hip. "I'm the retrograde's to-be tutor. He has a lot he must learn."

Dino pointed at himself and beamed happily. "And me? Well, I'm planning on being the retrograde's husband!"

Ryohei and Yamamoto's face went blank. After that, all they could muster out their mouths was, "EH?"

Lol, Rie-chan, what I've named a friend of Lambo's in another of my fics, has a cameo xD Review please~
