This is a real long chapter today. Not counting this part, 2134 words... Phew, so tired... Ok, now, take a look at the review questions...Huh, oh, just saying, Catacombe dei Cappuccini is not the name of the family, it is a real tourist attraction in Northern Palermo, use to store mummified 400 years old bodies, very nice place to visit at night. The name of the family will be revealed later and there's a story behind the family and Vongola. Kumiko-chan's trying her best to make the characters and the story line as good as possible, but since I have limited English abilities and I am not so pro at writing fictions, please forgive me if I made the story kinda weird! Gomei!

Ah! Also, I guess not a lot of you guys like Nakamura Kai. Great, that's the point. I am trying to make everyone fell for Tsuna. But why is this Nakamura kinda weird? I will talk about that in the chapters coming up soon~~

Chapter 9

"Jyuudaime, why didn't you use your attack? The attack that defeated that strong enemy in the future? What's his name again?" Gokudera said as he stood up after being healed by Reborn. "Even though that X X Burner thing was quite strong, I think Jyuudaime's attack will at least minimise the X X Burner and make his flame backfires." Even though in his head, Gokudera was still trying to recover from just seeing a sky attribute flame of such high purity. He hid it well though.

"Yeah, Kai," Yamamoto said with a totally amazed face, "Don't be kind to Tsunayoshi-san, he's quite strong you know, he defeated Hibari barehanded. And you see, he's also a sky attribute wielder. He's got some great flames as well." Which explains that he is a heir of Vongola Primo. Yamamoto thought. Even after so many generations, the awesome flames are still the same. But he didn't know Tsuna earned those flames by himself through many life danger situations.

"Weaklings," Hibari said as he exited the room, "Herbivore used that nameless attack, he just missed Sawada Tsunayoshi. That was all." Then he was gone. As the strongest of all guardians, Hibari was barely hurt, he was just extremely shocked by the amount of flames Sawada Tsunayoshi released in such a short time. It was quite amazing for him to see. Also he was pissed because Sawada Tsunayoshi 'disgraced his dignity'.

"Yeah, dame-Kai missed Tsunayoshi-san by one inch or something. Plus Tsunayoshi-san noticed the attack and moved to the right by three metres, it was a failure for dame-Kai." Reborn added as he kicked Nakamura who was staring at the ceiling emotionlessly. The sword was still in his hands, and there were still the dying will fire on the top of his head meaning he was still in Hyper mode, but he said nothing as everyone was discussing the short battle.

It was the first time that he ever missed somebody with that signature attack, he was famous for it. But it had been nearly six years since he 'finished' that technique but he still hadn't given it a name. It was made by him during the battle with Xanxus, it was that attack which gave the situation a whole turnover. Whenever his guardians asked about it, he just said he didn't want to give it a lousy name that was made by him. But the true reason is just beyond imagining for everyone else: the technique wasn't actually finished. The the power source for the attack can break down anytime during the attack. Meaning every time he fired that attack, he was gambling with his life.

This time was the first time that his power source and in addition, the aiming system failed during a true battle or training session with somebody other than Reborn and his guardians.

The battle coming up would be a battle to the extreme. That rival family had been thirsting for Vongola ever since he was officially made Vongola Decimo. No, maybe not that time. They were thirty for his... It started two years after he was made Vongola Decimo. After some 'incident' which was kept secret even to his guardians. Their boss was famous for its power to wield all seven flames professionally, but his main attribute was the attribute of cloud. His eight underbosses are rumoured to be even stronger than the boss himself when they cooperate with each other. Since the battle place is familiar to the rival family on the first hand, the Vongola family needed to be stronger to fill this gap. Meaning in five days, he had to fix the problem that can cost him his life.

As Nakamura was thinking about the problems he had, Tsuna went inside the office of Vongola Decimo out of pure habit. It was only after he sat on the chair and started to look at the documents he realised that this office no longer belongs to him. Sighing a little, he took a look at the seven giant piles of documents waiting for Nakamura to sign. This was an extremely nostalgic view. Tsuna always spend twelve or more hours a day looking through the documents, meaning plus the time he had to meet with other bosses, the time he needs to eat his meal, and the time to do trainings, etc, he usually has only four hours to sleep. He sometimes squeeze out two extra hours on weekends and short vacations, but the documents just can't let him rest.

Maybe I will help him today, Tsuna thought as he picked up the familiar-looking fountain pen with 'Vongola Decimo' carved on it. Taking a few documents from the first pile, Tsuna put on his reading glasses and started to read them over carefully while making notes on the side like suggestions for changes or more ideas for the reform. There was sounds of murmuring at first, a while later, only the sound of pen flying on documents and the sound of flipping papers was heard. Maybe a short cough every ten or fifteen minutes.

Five hours already passed since the training ended. Nakamura was left alone in the training room to think about ways to 'improve' his techniques as he told Reborn and his guardians. It was already dinner time. Reborn sent Hibari to grab Nakamura so Nakamura had no chance to refuse. As everyone was on the table eating their dinner, Vongola Nono noticed that somebody was missing.

"Where's Tsunayoshi-kun?" Vongola Nono asked, "I thought he was with you guys."

"He left after he pawned them kids." Reborn said as he ate another plate of Ricotta. "I guess he's either in his room sleeping right now or he's heading downstairs. He's definitely tired after the training. I told him to use his strongest technique. But he didn't use maximum power though. I can send his dinner to his room after this if you want to, Nono."

"That will be a great idea." Vongola Nono nodded as he put the business about Tsuna to the back of his head when he saw his new plate of spaghetti.

Thus after dinner, Reborn sent a waiter to Tsuna's room. The waiter knocked on the door. But since nobody responded, he imagined Tsuna as being asleep or taking a shower, so he slip a note under the door and left the dinner on the door mat outside the door.

What they didn't know was that Tsuna was in the Vongola Decimo office looking over piles of documents carefully while signing his name on the bottom, forgetting about time. Well, not his name, but 'Vongola Decimo'. The true name of the tenth boss of Vongola was always a secret to the outside world since his age was quite young in both worlds. Two and three quarters piles of documents was already dealt with in these six hours, but Tsuna got no realisation of time when he was signing documents, he would always continue until all the documents in front of his face was gone.

The next morning, when Reborn and all the guardians was already at the dinning hall with Nono and Tsuna's father, they still didn't see the existence of Tsuna. When Reborn and all the guardians went to check Tsuna's room after waiting for Tsuna for twenty minutes, they saw the untouched dinner on the outside of the room. Reborn licked his lips. This is real bad. He thought. Without making much sound, he ordered Gokudera to kick open the door. If he couldn't kick open the door, he can just use of dynamites.

So they kinda bombed open Tsuna's room, scaring away all the servants on the level.

When the dusts was gone, they found nobody inside. There was no trace of Tsuna coming back to the room after the training. The bed was well made, the table was tidy, and the washroom was dry and clean. The windows was shut, and the door was lock from the outside after Tsuna left the room.

So, now, the servants were seeing Reborn and all the Guardians, including their Decimo-sama running around the whole Vongola Headquarters shouting one extremely unfamiliar name. Well, maybe not Hibari, he just went around breaking into any locked door he saw and takes a look inside every room he passed.

Then Nakamura's shaking voice came from their bluetooth earphones. Shaking from both surprise and a little fear.

"I found him." Nakamura's voice whispered. "Come here right now! My office! And onii-san, can you please hurry! Like, really hurry, please!"

As all the Vongola Guardians entered the Decimo office, they saw Sasagawa, Reborn and Nakamura leaning over a motionless body lying on the carpet, just thirty centimetres away from the door. Nakamura was holding a wet towel inside his hand, Sasagawa was trying to figure out what was wrong with this person, while Reborn was staring over the body and looking at the newly organised file box on the table. Reborn whispered something into Nakamura's and Sasagawa's ear and went towards the table.

As Sasagawa carried Tsuna over his back and headed towards the Nurse's office, Reborn jumped onto the table. Looking at the four new files boxes Tsuna found from the cabinet, Reborn looked over the tags on the file boxes: Rivals, Allies, Vongola Class A, Vongola Class B. Class A and B was used to mark the importance of the documents. Flipping over the documents inside each file box, Reborn took a few out by random. Licking his lips, he gazed at the documents.

On the side of each documents, there were many small words written in clear handwritings about suggestions and improvement to each reform or information. If it was a notice, there were always warnings and things to follow if it was a mission. At the signature box, the formal signing format of Vongola was used. The bosses of Vongola all use the same style, only changing the end into for example 'Nono' for the ninth, or 'secondo' for the second. But there was always a personal feature to distinguish between fake signature and real signature. The feature assigned to Decimo by Nono was a curl at the beginning of 'D' and a dot at the end of 'o'. In Tsuna's signatures, these features were all there, like Tsuna had been practising the signature for many years.

Looking over some of these advises, Reborn's eyes widened in amazement. These were some damn good suggestions. Reborn thought. How did Tsunayoshi got them in his head?

Shaking his head for a little, Reborn headed out for the Nurse's room. When he entered the room before Sasagawa, he saw Tsuna lying face down on the carpet with a trace of blood on the side of his mouth. Nakamura was touching the back of his neck for temperature. And it was around 39 degrees Celsius, a fairly high fever thanks to the window which was opened throughout the night. Sasagawa couldn't fix these problems so Tsuna had to be send to the Nurse's room.

Well, Reborn thought bitterly as he saw Tsuna lying on a white bed with the guardians staring at him blankly, What should I do now after losing the only tutor of the guardians. The fight is in four days now. The guardians are totally dead if they are still like this four days later.

"Cough..." Tsuna woke up as he felt the sunlight on his face, opening his red eyes from not sleeping, he looked around and saw the expression on the guardians' face. As his eyes fixed on Reborn, he realised that the power of Sky Arcobaleno he has had unsealed by itself but didn't cause any damage to his body. Now he knew what Reborn was thinking in his head clearly.

"Cough, huh, Reborn?" Tsuna said weakly, "It's alright. I am ready to go anytime you want." Then he passed out on the bed again.

"Huh?" Yamamoto looked at Reborn, "What did he mean by that, Reborn-san?"

But Yamamoto was unable to see Reborn's expression. After a long silence, he heard Reborn said slowly but loudly .

"That damn smart 駄目綱吉 (dame-Tsunayoshi)."

No matter you like it or not, you always belong to Vongola, you stupid Tsuna.
