A/N: Why hello there.

Reviews: Thank you so much! I've never gotten this many in a night, it really means a lot since this is a new story that I posted recently.

saruko: Thanks for your long review, again. I'm thinking that you meant to type out "specific", if not, please correct me. Not quite sure what you meant by it-still assuming that you're telling me to add more details into my story(?) I hit 'enter' a lot because I type on Microsoft Word; which has a different font/size/format than f a n f i c t i o n (.) c o m. Sorry if it caused any confusion to you or any other readers. Although I have to say you have quite the imagination, I'm not giving out future chapter information. (fufu~) On another note, I'll make a note to add in 5927 fluff.

EK12: And you shall have more of 'this'. c:

Akahama Nera: Still on a different computer? LOL Tried a combination of 'I am your father.'

Taira-keimei: No problem! Thanks for the review. He does know his father, and it's revealed in this chapter. c:

Thanks to all who favorite me, H E R O, or story alerted!

Warnings: Short chapter. Omertas. Shounen-ai in later chapters. OOC-ness. AU universe. Forgive me if I have spelling and/or grammar.

Pairings: Mild pairings.

Disclaimer: Don't own. Never will. Or else 1827 would be screwing like rabbits. This plot is completely mine; as I said.

I, :penname: DarkestEnd, did not STEAL this plot from anyone. If it sounds familiar, then I shall say: Great minds think alike.

CHAPTER III: My Dad is a Superhero


"Sawada Iemitsu is a powerful hero. He's also the assistant to the most powerful man in the Underworld—the Ninth."

"The Ninth?"

"In every generation, there is always the strongest person. The one who can control his or her powers completely and use it to his advantage. Like I said before, I want to become the strongest so I want to become the 'Tenth' of this generation and join Vongola!"

"O-oh, but my father…"

"Right, he's also known as the X.A. or the X's Apprentice. It's funny really, that the Ninth was the former tutor of your father, so 'apprentice' is fitting.

A tutor is assigned to a student when they're studying to become a hero."

"I-I see, but…does this mean you know what my father's powers are."

"Yes…and no. There's a rule Tsuna—and Omertà. I'm not allowed to speak of private matters concerning the Ninth and his companions, otherwise I'll be killed."

"W-what? You'll be killed? Don't say it!"

"Haha, don't worry Tsuna," Yamamoto lightly ruffled the brunettes hair, "oh, it's pretty soft."

"W-what?"

"Nothing, nothing. Anyway, I think I know what his powers are, but I'm not allowed to say it. You see, no one really knows what it actually is because no one besides the Ninth's companions are allowed to speak about the topic. People can think about it and put different information and hints together, but rarely is anyone ever correct."

"Umm…so basically. You think you know what it is, but you aren't actually sure?"

"Haha, yup!"

"Oh, so in the end. I won't be able to know what my powers are?"

"Sadly, no, but you could do what I did, sign up for a tutor before school starts, you should do it quickly too! The best tutors get chosen first."

"Thanks, Yamamoto, you really helped me out the whole day. It's just so confusing to know all this."

"Don't worry, Tsu, I was like that too!"

"Yamamoto-san! Tsuna. It's Tsuna." Tsunayoshi's face once bloomed into a full blush.

"Yeah, yeah. Oyasumi, Tsuna. Pops is going to be mad if I don't get home soon."

"A-ah. All right, Yamamoto-san. Oyasumi."

"I'll meet you at the school gates tomorrow at eight in the morning to sign up for your tutor," Yamamoto wrote down something on a piece of paper on Tsuna's table, "here's my number, call if you need anything."

"Mm."

"I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow!"

Before Tsunayoshi could reply Yamamoto already rushed downstairs and ran out of his house.

That was fast. Well, I should sleep early so I can wake up on time.


Sorry if this chapter was too short for you; to make it up, I'm going to upload the fourth chapter in an hour or so. Because I love you guys.

And your reviews. No author hates reviews. Some dislike criticism, but I don't. As long as you're not bashing on me:

(ie. OHHMMMYYYGAWDDDDD. THAT WAS HORRRIBBBLE. YOU NEED BETTER CHARACTERS. MOAR HIBARI.)

^Le example that I do not appreciate.
