Ciaossu minna-san!

A/N: A HUGE thanks to Daaaw (a guest) and Luna D. Trinity for reviewing! I had so much sparkles that I died of the happiness, then came back to life to make this story! Seriously though! Your reviews make my day! So THANK YOU! To Luna-chan, thank you for that suggestion. It was only when your review pointed out that I had huge walls of text that I realized that I did single line spaces! I fixed it! So if you couldn't read it before, you can read it now! Yay! I don't know much about this, but I like to do my first author's note BEFORE I actually do the story. Last time was the first time I tried to do it AFTER I did the story. But I think I'll stick woth doing my first author's note BEFORE the story. Keep in mind, I had NO IDEA what I was going to do with this oneshot. I was really bored, I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANY HOMEWORK TO DO! THE WORLD IS ENDING! So...this one might not be very good... But next time, I'll come up something! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (And anything else you might recognize) Is not mine, has never been mine, and will never be mine... TT-TT, But then again, thats probably for the better!

Memories: The UNFORGETTABLE Climb

Vongola Decimo, was a man who was known for his forgiving nature, kind eyes, and his fearsome strength when he fought for something he thought was right. Inside his head now, and when he's not on a mission, he wants to tear his hair out for all the trouble and PAPERWORK his guardians cause. The stress level of when he finds 200 stacks of paperwork in the mornings, are off the chart, and into the sun. Thats. Not. Fun. His sadistic, spartan home tutor, Reborn, gets a kick out of it. To him, it's just like cheering him up when his mood's down.

"Juudaime? May I come in?" A husky (A/N: Get it? Since Hayato reminds us of a dog, he has a HUSKY voice? No? Ok... just ignore this..) voice politely asked.

"Yes you may." A deep, silky voice resounded from the room.

Hayato walked into the room with a pile of paperwork in his clutches. Boom. The sound of paper hitting a desk echoed throughout the hallway. That little action made Tsuna lose it. He rised from his chair only to walk toward the wall until he repeatedly started to bang his head against the wall. The first hit created a crater on the wall, as well as blood which dripped off his forehead. Each hit was two times harder than the last, soon, there was nothing for Tsuna to hit his head on.

Because the wall that was previously there disappeared into dust because of a certain Vongola Decimo.

Somewhere unknown to to anyone but himself, a ten year old wearing a black blazer with a yellow dress shirt and black long pants, and a black fedora with a silky yellow stripe running through the middle with a green shape shifting chameleon sitting on the one of the round corners, laughed his heart out. "Dame- Tsuna," Reborn whispered to himself, "that's going to cause you a ton of paperwork tomorrow." Reborn chuckled darkly and slipped into the shadows before you could say "Arcobaleno".

"J-J-Juudaime... Are you ok-k-kay?" Gokudera stuttered.

Tsuna didn't say anything. All he did was give an icy cold glare to the poor and unfortunate tree in front of him.

"Juudaime, I have a proposition..." Gokudera started.

"Go on, I'm listening." His eyes were so cold, that even the great prefect Namimori Middle School loving otaku, also known as, Hibari Kyouya, would shiver from just a mere glance.

"I say, you have too much stress on you ever since you took the position as Decimo. I propose that you take the week off, as us guardians finish the paperwork for the week." Gokudera insisted.

Tsuna's eyes and expression turned soft again. He smiled. "Thank you Hayato. Maybe this will teach them to behave." Tsuna wondered out loud as he left his office.

Whenever he wanted to relax, he loved to go to the garden. Before his parents died (1) when he was 17, his mom and dad always smelled like flowers. The garden made him relax and remember to remember to forgive. Today, he wanted to reminisce once upon a time when his sadistic spartan infant tutor made him climb up a mountain of all his physical fears chasing after him.

"Reborn... Why do I have to do this?" Tsuna whined.

"Becasue, Dame-Tsuna," Insert a kick to the head from the infant sent from hell and Tsuna withering in pain, "You have to learn to dive into your fears head-first. If you don't you'll die." Reborn stated calmly.

"I'm pretty sure that's not how it-" Tsuna was interrupted by an uppercut that left him with a broken jaw and halfway up the mountain with snakes, clowns, lions, 'the Crooked Man', spiders the size of Jirou, and clones of.. REBORN chasing after him. Reborn was in a full out laughing fit when he saw clones of himself dig themselves out from the ground. He couldn't scream because of the broken jaw. He was pretty sure Reborn intended to break his jaw to make him silent when he would, characteristically, scream until his throat was raw and bleeding. Comical tears escaped comically from his comical eyes and comical face.

"Dame-Tsuna! You have to remember to climb the mountain! Or else you'll be sent off to sea with nothing but rags and a small fishing boat!" Reborn shouted trough a microphone ten times louder than Squalo and Ryohei's loudest screams COMBINED. Tsuna clamped his ears shut so they wouldn't bleed.

In a cave on the mountain, zombies, from the walking dead, emerged from the dark cave. As he hesitated to run as he PAINFULLY screamed, a poisonous snake bit the back of his calf. Tsuna screamed once again and excruciatingly ripped the snake off the back of his calf. Blood trickled from the two holes that were now ripped all the way down to his ankle.

He tried to ignore the screaming pain as he ran away from the other threats to his life. If he was going to survive this, and be able to go back to his friends and family, he would have to start to climb up the mountain.

He started to find natural hand and footholes in the solid and unstable rock. He could feel an icy cold hand with rotting flesh and dead skin rolling off the hand grab the tears in Tsuna's calf and ripped out the whole back of his calf. He started having uncontrolled twitching muscle movements, but managed to get to the nearest safe small rock ledge. So he can have a breather from the fears he had feared for most of his life. He felt the blood drip of the ledge and saw the coners of his vision fade.

He thought of his family.

His friends.

The people who would be devastated and disappointed that he would have died from mere training. There were no more big ledges. So the mountain was being merciful to him by not making him run anymore. After a trail of blood leading to the top, Reborn decided to intervene and take him to Ryohei because he wasn't much of a healer himself even though he had sun flames.

"Juudime!"

"Tsuna!"

"Tsuna-kun!"

"Tsuna-san!

"Tsu-kun!"

"Tsunayoshi-kun!"

"Omnivore."

"Bossu!"

"Tsuna-nii!"

"Gyahaha! Did you fall Dame-Tsuna?"

Tsuna's Guardians and friends fretted when they saw Tsuna in a Leon stretcher.

"Ryohei, heal the back of Tsuna's right calf. It's completely ripped out." Reborn ordered.

Ryohei lifted up the Leon blanket that covered Tsuna's right calf just enough so only he could see it. "Reborn-san. It's already infected, and he's losing blood TOO fast. What did he do?" Ryohei worriedly searched the Arcobaleno's eyes for any answers.

"That's not important right now! He'll tell you when he wakes up! Get to work on him!" Reborn shouted.

"Yes, sir." Ryohei immediately got to work. Reborn smiled when his guardians sat in a circle facing outward to protect any threats coming to their boss, no, beloved, and treasured friend. You attracted some mighty fine guardians, Tsuna.

Tsuna sighed that was, what? Eight years ago? Long time, and it felt like yesterday. That day, for once, he read Reborn's mind on the edge of losing consiousness, and he was right. He did have guardians that are to be treasured.

A/N: That turned out less humorous and better than I expected! Sorry if you didn't like my horrible description, and/or bad explaining skills, and/or horrible grammar. But PLEASE REVIEW! Idc if it's criticism, or positive! So please drop a review, ne?

(1)- I decided to let Tsuna's parents be dead for this specific oneshot. They will be alive in future oneshots unless specified otherwise.

Ciao!
