LunarFallenStar: Hey guys! New chapter! I'm so tired 'cause there's a banquet at my school and since my mom and one of my friend's mom is in charge, so basically my friend and I are the students in charge of all of the student volunteers. We do a lot of the hard work and I'm working at school during my study halls and some of my electives and also after school gets out until dinnertime then right back to working. But it's still fun though. Just yesterday, I peeled 200 lbs. of carrots, cleaned up the milkshake machine, scooped cocktail sauce into serving cups, scooped butter, washed dishes, made shishkabobs(?), cut cantelope, cut pineapple, swept the floor, washed strawberries, chopped some greens, cut up strawberries, chopped onions, set and decorated the tables, cut roses, helped with electricity, and finally polished the silverware... all of it... Don't even get me started on today. And now, I'm SO tired. Well, anyhow, I loved reading your guys reviews!
SunshineAndMoonlight: I agree with you, 'wow' is right :)
Phantom Hitman 1412: I'm glad you like what I write! And you're right about Byakuran, he knows like everything with his dimension hopping. And with the sequel with Primo thing, I've actually been considering it. I would finish this story first, but I like the idea. Ed is a cool teacher, I would love having him as a teacher. I've always liked the image of Ed cooking, so I just put it in the story. And, yes, Equivalent Exchange *fangirl squeal as well*. And with your theory about the unsolvable problem, it's your second guess. I honestly am surprised you got that :) Yep, Ed always has to be doing something! He'll tell them he's from a different world eventually. It'll probably be around one of the time's they get close to Byakuran in choice in everything else. I'm glad you like Ed's back story and read on!
Traffic9991: I'm glad you're waiting for my updates so here's the next chapter!
archsage328: Yeah, the arcobaleno trials was the only time Shamal was really given any screen time. And I love Ed's temper tantrums as well. Yep, that's how Ed got sent back to when Vongola was founded and he probably met the Shimon family. And incorporating the brotherhood cast is a good idea. I might do something like that. Oh and don't worry about your tangent, I do it quite often. And it is interesting to see how to incorporate Ed into the Reborn universe opens up all different paths.
Fall into the Void: Thanks for the review and I'm glad you love it!
~Previously~
"...wow..." Tsuna broke the silence.
Ed leaned back in his chair, looking at all the surprised faces. He rubbed the bridge of his nose. If they were reacting like this when they found out about the time traveling, what happened, and his real age, he couldn't imagine what there faces would be like if they found out he was from a different world. He chuckled slightly, causing everybody to raise an eyebrow.
"What's so funny?" Reborn asked.
"Oh, nothing, nothing," Ed said, waving his hand in a dismissive manner, "Don't worry about it."
"Well, since we're here, we might as well go ahead and sort out our plan," Reborn said.
Giannini nodded and held up a remote, aiming at the large screen before clicking a button. On cue, the face of Spanner appeared on the screen.
"Considering the size of the playing field, we'll need a transportation system that can get them to the area they need to be swiftly and effectively," Reborn said, "The battle of the mechanics has come."
Ed watched as Giannini glared at Spanner and vice versa. Sweat dropping at the sparks which appeared, he looked over at Tsuna and saw his pupil freaking out about how Spanner and Giannini were fighting. Ed sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
The next day, Edward was in the kitchen with the girls, helping and teaching them a new recipe.
"Wow, Edward-sensei," Kyoko said, "You're good at cooking!"
"Well, I've had a lot of practice," Edward said, "I've actually lived on my own for a while."
"Hahi!" Haru said, "You can't be older than 18 or 19 even! How could you possibly have been living alone for a while?"
"Well, when I was little, I was called a 'child prodigy' and went to college at a young age. My brother was intelligent as well, but I was the one considered the prodigy," Edward said, modifying the story a bit, "My mom died when I was young and my dad left my brother and I. A few years after my mom died, I made a mistake that hurt my brother horribly. Al, my brother, and my father Hohenheim both died recently...because of me..."
The two girls gasped, "What?"
Edward smiled at them, "I'm fine now though. I know I'll see them again."
Haru got teary-eyed, "What a touching story and what faith in how you'll see them again, truly beautiful!"
Edward stared at her in disbelief. Another Armstrong look a like. One (i.e: Ryohei) was enough, but now two? Ed chuckled, "Yeah, yeah. Get back to chopping."
The girls nodded enthusiastically and continued chopping. Ed looked over when he heard a hiss of pain coming from Haru.
"You alright?" Edward asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I positioned my hands wrong and the blade nicked it," Haru replied, "It's no big deal though."
Ed pointed to the chair, "Sit down," he went over to the sink and grabbed a rag, running said rag under some water before going back to where Haru was seated.
He sat down on his knees and took the hand with the cut, looking at it closely, "Hmmm, you nicked it pretty well. This looks like a vein, but you got a little to close to an artery. I'll need to heal it up for you that way you don't accidentally hit the artery."
Ed held up the rag and wiped away some of the blood that ran along the long cut on her knuckles. He soon got a clear view of the gash. He stood up once more and went over to his long coat (which he still carried with him) and reached into an inside pocket, pulling out a small case.
"What's that?" Kyoko asked.
"A first aid kit," Ed replied, sitting down again in front of Haru, opening up the small case. He looked at the contents for a while before pulling out some bandages and a small vile of something. Unscrewing the small, flat bottle's lid, he took the small baster (which was the lid) and sucked up some of the contents into the tube. Taking Haru's hand once more, he located the cut easily.
"This may sting a little," Ed said before spreading the mysterious substance over the gash earning a hiss of pain from Haru.
Haru closed her eyes, but opened them when she heard Kyoko gasp in surprise. She followed Kyoko's trail of sight and saw her once cut hand now healed.
"What?"
Ed pulled out the bandage and began wrapping her hand, "My brother was interested in herbs and created a solution that can quickly heal something," He left out the part where Alphonse had figured out how to mix sun flames into the solution somehow. Alphonse may not have been directly affiliated with the mafia, but that didn't mean he wouldn't help his brother.
Ed stood up and Haru was still gaping at her now bandaged hand, "Let's get back to cooking."
She nodded and stood up, returning to her cooking station. Ed put the bandage and the vile back into the case which he put back into his coat. He placed the rag back in the sink and returned to cooking.
Ed followed Tsuna and the others down into one of the larger training rooms and looked at the two mechanics who would be showing there inventions. Ed absentmindedly leaned against the wall and listened from afar to the inventors.
He watched in amusement as every invention failed.
He gained interest however when Giannini lead the group out of the room. He followed along and they soon reached a room which Giannini disappeared saying about it being the boss's collection. Ed looked as Giannini came back out with a tape-measurer, kneeling down in front of Tsuna before measuring Tsuna's leg.
"As I thought, you're legs are short."
Ed looked over at a blushing Tsuna and patted Tsuna's shoulder, "You'll get used to it eventually," Ed said.
Tsuna looked at Ed incredulously, 'is that supposed to make me feel better?'
They all walked into the room and saw Giannini riding what appeared to be a motorcycle with no wheels.
"What's that?" Ed asked.
"An air-bike," Giannini said, "It's powered by high-energy deathperation flames. The covers of it work as mammon chains so it doesn't get picked up by the enemy's radar. The flames power the thrusters which release air and let the bike hover and move around in midair."
Ed nodded.
"This will help Dame-Tsuna," Reborn said, "A way to get around without the enemy noticing. Clever."
"Clever indeed," Ed agreed.
Ed sighed as he watched his pupils. Gokudera got it relatively easily as did Basil who was helping them train. Yamamoto got the gist of it, but still had difficulties. Ryohei couldn't turn. Finally, Tsuna was being, well, Tsuna.
Ed walked over as Tsuna fell off once more, helping the young boy up, "Don't rush too much or you'll make careless mistakes. It's better to go slow and follow the flow of it than going way to fast and messing it up. Clear your mind and think about it. You'll get it eventually."
Tsuna nodded and got back up on the bike.
Ed watched a little longer before silently leaving.
Back in his room, Ed opened his travelogue once more. Picking up a pencil, Ed began to write down another entry. He had been writing for a few minutes before his door slid open and in walked Reborn.
"Wouldn't you normally want to watch Dame-Tsuna," Reborn said, "You don't seem like the kind of person to just leave him there."
Ed looked back down and kept writing, "I've said all I can, there's nothing I can do for him now. He needs to learn how to overcome a trial without someone holding his hand."
Reborn nodded and hopped onto the desk, looking at the book. Ed wasn't worried since he had coded all of what he was writing. He coded it so well, even Alphonse couldn't decode it.
All Reborn saw in the notebook what appeared to be a travelogue.
"What's this?" Reborn asked with mild interest.
"Oh, it's my research notes from over the years..." Ed replied, "I coded them that way people couldn't read what was written. Not even my brother, who was probably one of the people closest to me, was able to decode it."
Reborn hummed in response, "I'll take it you'll won't be watching much of the training?"
"Correct. By the way Reborn, is there an empty training room I could use?"
"I'll ask Giannini or Fuuta," Reborn responded, "Don't you need a way to get around without being detected?"
"I already figured out that since my flames are different, machines can't really sense them at all. Giannini couldn't pick up my flame signature."
Reborn nodded before leaving.
Ed turned back to his notes. He leaned back in his chair and reached down to one of the drawers and pulled it open, grabbing a book from it. He opened the leather book and read its contents. On the cover, one could tell it was a book on box weapons.
He read about how they were created and how they were made. A small smirk crept onto his face. Silently, he left his room.
Giannini walked into the lab and was surprised to see none other than Edward Elric over one of the tables.
"E-E-Elric-san?"
Ed looked up, "Oh Giannini-san, I didn't notice you there."
"What are you doing in here?"
"Oh, I'm just working on something. Can't fall behind," Edward said, "Oh did Reborn ask you about a spare training room yet?"
"Oh, he did," Giannini said, "There's one available. I'll just leave the map over here."
"Oh, thank you Giannini-san," Edward said before looking back down at his work.
"I'll be leaving then, I wouldn't want to disturb you."
With that, Giannini left.
Ed looked at the small object on the table in front of him with a smirk on his face. Almost there, he was almost done. His smirk widened before he continued to work on the small object.
Ed walked down the halls heading to the training room he was going to use. He turned around when he heard someone calling his name.
"Edward-sensei!" Tsuna yelled running up to the blond male.
"Tsunayoshi-kun?"
"I was able to ride it, the air bike!" Tsuna said proudly, "I still have to practice though..."
Ed patted Tsuna's head, "Good job!"
Tsuna smiled, "Reborn just called us to a meeting. Are you going to come?"
"Why not?" Edward replied. He could always go to the training room later.
They walked down the hall and reached the meeting room. The door slid open and they walked in, seeing their other friends seated in the room as well. Tsuna and Ed walked over to their seats and sat down, waiting for Reborn to speak.
"Now that everyone more or less has the idea of how to ride the air bikes," Reborn said, "We will move onto the second stage."
"Second stage?" Tsuna asked.
"You mean!" Gokudera began excitedly.
Reborn smirked, pulling out the Vongola boxes and placing them on the table, "Time to open these up."
Everyone became relatively excited to see what kind of animal would be inside, "But, not today. You will all continue to rest up today."
"What?" Gokudera asked, "Why can't we open them today?"
"You all need to rest more," Edward said, "If you have more energy saved up, that means you can train with them longer."
"That and preparations need to be made," Reborn added, "You are dismissed."
"Wow that was quick," Ed muttered leaving the room to head to the training room he was using.
Edward stood in the middle of the training room, wearing a loose black tank-top leaving his automail arm exposed. He also was wearing a baggy pair of jeans, shoes and socks discarded leaving his automail leg exposed as well. His braid was coming undone and most of his hair was already hanging loose, the rest barely forming a braid.
In front of him and all around him as well, was a bunch of different alchemic creations he had made using his flames. Breathing heavily, he created more obstacles and continued to practice flipping over them again and again. He also practiced destroying them as well.
After a few minutes, he walked over to his discarded jacket reaching inside it, quickly finding the secret pocket. Pulling out his research notes, he sat on the ground. He opened the book to the inside cover. Pealing back some of the thick leather, he pulled out a small ring. Smirking lightly, he put the ring on his left, flesh hand.
He smiled softly as he looked at the ring, the memories flowing back to him. Giotto had given him this ring when he had officially become his guard. It was the only ring that used his flame attribute. It was like a Vongola ring in a way, just not part of the trinesette.
Ed reached into his pocket and pulled out two grey boxes. He had worked on them all day. After he read the research notes of Verde, which were a pain to decode, he figured out how to create them relatively easily. If a normal person had read the book on box weapons, they would've thought it was just the basic information, but Ed wasn't a normal person. He was a genius.
Closing his eyes, Ed lit up the flame on his ring and injected the flames into the boxes. Opening his eyes once more, Ed saw a burst of flames shoot out of the boxes and onto the floor in front of him. As the light faded, in its place stood a large suit of armor and a small panda. He smirked lightly, his theory worked. He was able to create box weapons for his attribute.
Ed felt nostalgia tugging at his senses as he looked at the suit of armor. Even after 400 years, he still remembered exactly how Al's suit of armor looked like. He looked at the small panda before him as well, dwarfed even more compared to the giant suit of armor beside it. The panda was very puny (A/N: She looks like Xiao Mei from Brotherhood) and actually quite adorable.
Ed thought to himself for a while, but eventually decided on a name, "I'll call you Xiao Mei."
The suit of armor, the deathperation flames on the spikes of the armor as well as in the eyes. The panda had deathperation flames on its paws.
Ed looked at the panda once more, "By the way I made you, if I do this," Ed said to himself as he launched some of his flames at the panda, "You should..."
Ed trailed off as he watched a vizor cover the top of the panda's head, flames streamlining the edges of its small body. Ed smirked at the panda and the armor. With the armor, he just had to inject some of his flames into it and it could operate like an ally.
Ed looked as the small panda hopped onto his shoulder. He looked back to the suit of armor, "Time to train."
He charged the suit of armor and flipped over its head, slamming his foot into its back as he descended onto the floor. The armor flipped in the air and landed on its feet, now facing the blond.
"Xiao Mei!" Ed yelled. The small panda nodded, jumping into the sky, using the flames to keep it afloat. When she was directly above the suit of armor, her mouth opened and out shot a highly concentrated blast of flames.
The armor collapsed to the ground when the energy hit it, but it stood up once more.
It charged forward, grabbing Ed's fist when he threw a punch. It kicked Ed's feet out from under him, sending the blond into a spiral.
As Ed flew in the air, the suit of armor brought down its fists, slamming it down into Ed's stomach. Ed flew into the ground, grabbing onto its fists. With a grunt, Ed used the armor's arms to flip it, using the momentum to stand up.
Ed was about to charge once more, but halted when a huge explosion shook the room. Edward sent the two box weapons back into their boxes and quickly ran out of the training room, heading for the source of the explosion, completely forgetting about his shoes, socks and jacket. Heck, he even forgot to put his hair back in a braid.
He soon reached Tsuna's room much to his surprise and saw the others along with Basil standing outside it as well. He saw their gaping faces and ran up to them. Following their line of sight, he saw Tsuna held in the air by a giant monster of sky flames.
"What's that?" Ed asked.
The others turned around, their eyes widening even more, "That Tsuna's box weapon, but Ed-sensei," Yamamoto said.
"But what?"
"What's up with your hair, Elric?" Gokudera responded.
Ed blinked a few times before lifting his hand up to touch his hair, now fully realizing that it wasn't in a braid any longer, "Oh, I guess I forgot to put it back into a braid..."
"I see you also forgot to put on your jacket and shoes," Gokudera said, "What if Kyoko and Haru walked by?"
Ed blinked again and looked down, seeing once more seeing he was wearing only a tank-top and no shoes or socks, leaving his automail fully exposed, "Shit!"
Basil gaped at him, "Y-y-your arm and leg is gone?"
Edward stared at the boy before mentally face-palming himself. He forgot Basil hadn't known about his arm and leg being gone.
"Yep, I thought it wouldn't be too much of a surprise considering I'm immortal..."
They all returned their attention to Tsuna, "We need to calm it down."
Basil nodded before calling on his box weapon, Alfin.
Ed watched as the box weapon attempted to calm down the raging torrent of fury that was Tsuna's box weapon. Edward smirked when Yamamoto helped Basil by releasing his sparrow.
Soon, the box weapon calmed and returned back to its box. The group ran forward to Tsuna who was slumped against the wall, soaking wet because of the rain flames.
"Juudaime!" Gokudera yelled, "What happened?"
"I thought I just injected flames, but that happened instead," Tsuna replied.
"I bet Irie gave you a messed up box!" Gokudera yelled, "I'm gonna go string up that glasses freak!"
"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna yelled, "It wasn't Irie-san's fault!"
"You're right," A voice said, "It was Tsuna's fault."
They all turned around, "Dino-san!"
In through the gaping hole in the wall rode Dino Cavallone on a horse.
"What are you doing here?" Tsuna asked.
"I'm just wondering how nobody is surprised about the freaking horse he's riding on..." Ed muttered.
"You opened your box wrong," Dino said, "If you keep opening it like that, you'll definitely break it."
"It's about time you got here."
Dino looked over and there stood Reborn, "Reborn, I never expected to see you again, my tutor."
"What took you so long? Did you get lost on your way here?"
"After all these years you still treat me like a kid," Dino chuckled slightly before falling off the horse.
'Don't tell me,' Tsuna thought to himself.
Dino rubbed the back of his head in head pain, "Man, I've been falling a lot lately."
'So he did get lost,' Reborn thought.
"Well anyway, let's through a welcoming party for Dino," Reborn said.
"Another party?" Tsuna asked.
Ed sighed, "Guess I'll have to go help make the food."
"Don't forget to put your shoes and jacket back on," Gokudera said, "Don't freak them out. Also, don't forget to put your hair up, you look like a girl."
"What was that you stupid squid?" Ed asked threateningly, kicking Gokudera into a wall, "Do you want to repeat that?"
"Oh, nothing nothing," Gokudera said, voice muffled by the rubble, "Forget I said anything."
"That's better," Ed left the room, heading back to where he had left his stuff.
Ed had put his hair back into a braid and now had his jacket and shoes on once more. He walked into the large dining hall where the others were currently decorating.
"Oh, you guys are busy I see," Ed said, looking at all the decorations, "The girls are as well. Just to let you know, I'll be training so I won't be attending dinner."
"What?" Tsuna asked, but he wasn't given an answer as Ed walked out of the room.
"Hmmph, ignoring Juudaime like that, who does he think he is?" Gokudera said angrily picking up another decoration.
~A few hours later~
Tsuna walked through the halls. They had just solved the whole fiasco with Dino's box weapon, the sky turtle, running wild. Dino was now announcing the training for everyone's box weapons. He just wanted to find Ed to tell him. After all, they hadn't seen the blonde since he left the dining hall. He had probably been training through the whole thing.
Tsuna soon reached the training room that Ed was supposed to be in. He walked inside and was confronted with Edward fighting what appeared to be a suit of armor. When Ed noticed his presence, however, the armor disappeared.
"Tsunayoshi-kun," Ed said walking up to Tsuna.
Tsuna now notice that Ed wasn't wearing a shirt. Tsuna's eyes trailed over all the scars that marred the immortal's skin. He flinched at a particularly large scar that appeared to be a dent in Ed's chest.
"What's that?" Tsuna asked quietly, still staring at the large scar.
"Oh, this?" Ed said pointing to the scar Tsuna was looking at, "Just a normal scar."
Ed walked over to his shirt, jacket, shoes, and socks and put them on quickly.
"What'd you need?"
"Oh, well Dino-san was going to give us our training schedules and I was wondering if you would like to come."
Ed nodded, "I'll go."
Ed watched as Dino gave the training for the box weapons to the teens. Everything was soon wrapped up with everyone leaving silently. A presence pricked at the back of Ed's mind, causing him to stop. He waited till everyone left and the lights went out and sure enough, his waiting was rewarded as someone made their presence known.
"They're gone," A feminine voice whispered.
"We really did it."
Ed watched as a sheet fell from the wall, revealing none other than Kyoko and Haru.
"Wonder what Byakuran, Millefiore and Vongola is?" Kyoko asked in wonder.
"Maybe it has something to do with the mafia Tsuna-san and the others belong to," Haru guessed.
"Mafia?"
"You two really shouldn't go sticking your noses into some things."
The two girls looked up in surprise as they saw Ed approaching them in the darkness.
"Ed-san?" Haru gasped in surprise.
"How'd you notice us?" Kyoko asked.
"You're four hundred years to early to be able to sneak up on me," Edward said, "Back to my other point, you may not realize what you're causing by wanting to know this."
"How do you know?" Haru accused, "Wouldn't you naturally want to know what was going on? Why the people you love were getting hurt?"
Ed sighed, "I'm speaking from experience. I've been left out of the loop countless times, got involved countless times, and hurt people countless times because of it. All I'm saying is that you should be careful."
Ed walked away, leaving the two girls staring at him in wonder as the door closed behind him.
Ed looked at his young students who were currently discussing their training. Ed's eyes narrowed however when he noticed Haru and Kyoko along with Bianchi approaching the group.
Ed kept his blank face as he watched the girls demand to know what was going on and Tsuna and the other boys trying to cover it all up. Ed sighed to himself when he watched the girls declare strike and Bianchi, Chrome, I-pin, Reborn, Giannini, and Fuuta side with them.
The guys freaked out as the girls walked away.
"What are we going to do?" Tsuna panicked.
"Ed-sensei," Yamamoto said, "Didn't you say you were able to do housework?"
"Yes I'm able to do housework, but I'll only cook meals and clean occasionally," Edward replied.
The others' looked down for a few minutes, but recovered quickly. At least they would sometimes get food.
Ed watched as his pupils walked away to resume their training.
Ed stood in front of the stove, stirring the contents of the pan in front of him. He turned slightly when he heard the door open. In walked his young pupils, looking completely exhausted. They had to juggle chores and training all day.
Ed smiled softly and turned off the stove, putting the food onto plates and placing them in front of the exhausted boys.
"Eat up!"
"Edward-sensei," Tsuna said, looking up at his teacher, "What would you do in this situation?"
"Well, before I was immortal, I had a really close friend. I was always getting into danger and doing reckless things, causing her to constantly worry for my brother's and I's safety. I never really told her what was going on, thinking she would get dragged into my battles. One day, I was severely injured, almost killed even, and was hospitalized along with my brother. I still refused to tell her even though she saw me in that state. That all changed however, when I saw her cry. I didn't tell her everything, but I still told her some of it. Sure, she didn't like hearing it, but I didn't regret telling her."
Tsuna looked at Ed for a while before turning back to his food.
Ed looked at the opening hatch and saw Tsuna walking in, Kyoko beside him. From what Ed could hear, apparently Tsuna had told her everything. Tsuna continued to walk down the hall and soon disappeared into the kitchen, most likely going to tell Haru.
After a few minutes, Tsuna emerged once more and Ed smiled at him, "You made the right decision, Tsunayoshi-kun."
"Oh, Edward-sensei," Tsuna looked surprised for a moment, "I didn't notice you there."
Tsuna and Edward walked through the hall, soon arriving at the meeting hall. They walked inside to see Dino.
"Tsuna," Dino said in greeting.
"Dino-san," Tsuna replied.
"I was just evaluating how the training was going."
Ed smiled at Gokudera's rant about how Ryohei and Lambo wouldn't listen to him. Yamamoto was still upset about not being able to train. Chrome's training was making progress quite nicely. Hibari was doing fine. Tsuna apparently got a hint on how to open his box.
They all looked up in surprise when a bunch of pac-man like things appeared on the screen. Ed got really annoyed when a cartoon Byakuran popped out. He was so close to punching the screen. He got even more annoyed when the real Byakuran appeared on the screen eating a huge sundae.
Byakuran informed them about where and when they will be meeting. When it quieted down a little bit, Ed finally spoke up.
"I'm surprised you're not fat yet with the way you eat, marshmallow addict," Ed sneered.
"Oh, that wasn't very nice Fullmetal-kun," Byakuran said.
Ed's eyes widened as he heard that name, the name he hadn't been called for over 400 years, "How would you know I'm here? You never open your eyes long enough to see everything."
"Now, aren't you mean Fullmetal-kun," Byakuran said, a fake pout adorning his cheeks, "Is that how you treat a friend?"
Ed's and everyone else's eyes widened, "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, you really don't remember," Byakuran said, "Guess 400 years isn't to kind on the memory. Bye-bye Vongola."
And just like that, Byakuran blinked off the screen and everyone turned to face Edward, "What was that 'friend' thing about?"
"I don't know! I don't know when I met him or how he knows I'm immortal," Ed replied, "I just don't know."
"We will have to bring everyone to choice it looks like," Reborn said, "In hindsight, Dame-Tsuna was right to tell them everything."
The guardians looked at Tsuna in shock. Ed flinched when Ryohei punched the wall in anger, leaving a huge dent in the wall.
"I'm still wondering how he got through our security system," Giannini said with worry as he typed away on his computer.
"Your security isn't shit," A voice said from the door, causing Reborn to smirk.
"It's about time you got here, Squalo," Dino said, taking the tuna offered to him by Squalo, "Your student has been waiting for a while."
Everyone looked back at Yamamoto who was apparently Squalo's student. Without missing a beat, Squalo headed towards Yamamoto and beat him to a pulp until he was collapsed on the floor. Wordlessly, Squalo picked up the swordsman and walked away for training.
Then, things got even more crazy. Ed couldn't react fast enough and Ryohei ended up punching Tsuna square in the face, sending the smaller boy crashing to the floor.
"I can't just forgive you for telling Kyoko, but I'm a man, one punch and I can move on," Ryohei said, fist frozen in place.
Edward sighed and bent down next to Tsuna, pulling his first aid kit out of his coat. He opened up the case and pulled out another vile of something, along with bandages. He poured some of the vile's contents and put a bandaid on the bridge of Tsuna's nose.
"Geez, you say one punch and it's over," Edward said, helping Tsuna up, "But in actuality that was the most immature thing you could've done. You can't shelter everyone from this. They're already dragged into it. Right now, for you to still think you can shelter them from the knowledge of what's happening is foolish. "
With that, Ed left the room silently.
"Ok, everyone, resume your training," Dino said.
Reborn and Dino watched everyone leave and soon they were the only ones left.
"Edward is getting more and more suspicious," Reborn said.
"You already told me about his immortality, which is strange in itself," Dino added, "But now the whole 'friend' thing with Byakuran... he's rather suspicious."
"Indeed. Tsuna told me about a scar that appears to be a dent in his chest, as if he was impaled by something," Reborn said, "The more we know about him, the more suspicious he becomes..."
Dino only nodded silently in response.
LunarFallenStar: Finally done! I'm still exhausted... R&R everyone, bye!
