Ryu- OMG. There's flour everywhere.

White Dragon- A-ah (Ryu- No!) Achoo! (Flour blows everywhere.)

Ryu- No! Now it is everywhere.

Black Dragon- If you're wondering why there's flour everywhere, it has to do with her project. She's using flour as a model.

Ryu- Oh great, now there's flour on the keyboard as well.

A Challenge

It was another school day, but this, was going to be like no other. Though Tsuna did not know it, it was going to decide the future of his pack.

Today, instead of going home right after school, all the packs were given a project. They had to create a symbol for themselves.

So that is why Tsuna's pack was in the reception room, with a glaring Hibari.

"Come on Hibari-san, it's for school." Tsuna said as he held Hibari's hand. This seemed to make Hibari a little better. "Fine." Hibari said as he embraced Tsuna.

"Hey, stop doing perverted things to the tenth!" Gokudera shouted. "I will do as I like." Hibari said. This got Gokudera really angry, so he was about to take out his dynamites when Yamamoto suddenly embraced him.

"Gah! What are you doing baseball freak!" Gokudera shouted. "Well, doesn't this feel nice." Yamamoto said. "Well yes, but- hey, don't change the subject." Gokudera said as he tried to break free.

"Kufufu. How interesting." Mukuro said. "Why do we have to do this?" Ken said. "Because Vongola gave us a rank." Chikusa said. "Keh, fine." Ken said.

So the pack was going to start on their symbol when Tsuna's ears suddenly perked up. Hibari noticed this.

"What's wrong?" Hibari said. "I can hear something." Tsuna said, and as if on cue, something crashed through the window. Glass shattered everywhere, but a couple of the people were shielded.

Hibari shielded Tsuna, Yamamoto shielded Gokudera, Mukuro shielded Chrome, Kyoko and Haru shielded the children, while they were shielded by the rest of the pack. When the glass had settled, a voice spoke.

"Shishishi. What a group of peasants."

Tsuna looked around Hibari and saw two people. One had blond hair, which covered his eyes, a crown on his head, and seemed to have mink ears, the other was small looking person. Tsuna couldn't see much because this figure was wearing clothes that covered most of the face and body. All Tsuna could see was some sort of lizard tail.

"Does everyone like to destroy my windows?" Hibari mumbled to himself, which Tsuna heard.

"Prepare to have a new alpha." The small on said. It was then something inside Tsuna clicked, and he pushed Hibari out of the way as something collided into the spot they just were.

When the dust settled, Tsuna saw a savage looking wolf with violent flames coming from the head, tail, and feet.

"Huh? This runt is the alpha. How pathetic." The wolf said as it snarled.

This angered Hibari, because his Tsuna was being insulted. If some insults his Tsuna, they're insulting him. So he was about to charge, but was stopped.

"Tsuna is the one being challenged, not you Hibari." When everyone looked, they saw Reborn.

"What do you mean?" Tsuna said. "Because of what happened before, Xanxus thinks he is fit to be alpha." Reborn said.

"That's right. You wouldn't last one minute against Estraneo." Xanxus said as he charged again. This time, Tsuna changed into his wolf form, but not the very large one, and met Xanxus head on, only to be clawed away.

"Shishishi. The alpha can't even fight." The mink boy said. "Hey, that is unfair." Gokudera said as he took out his dynamite only to be tackled by the mink.

"We can't let you interfere, can we." This caused him to be thrown into the hallway. Gokudera followed after.

Yamamoto went after Gokudera and was about to follow, but stopped when a katana flew his way.

"Vooooiiii! Your fight is with me." Yamamoto just stared.

"Are you some kind of fish?" Yamamoto said. "I'm a shark you idiot." The shark said as he slashed again.

Back in the reception room, Kyoko and Haru had moved the kids to another room for safety as more people showed up.

Chrome had been injured quite severely, so Mukuro had Ken and Chikusa move her to a safer place as he fought the small one. Ryohei was in a even match with a bright peacock, much to his glee. Hibari didn't care about who Xanxus was challenging, so he went to help Tsuna, but was stopped by a person.

"I will not let you fight master." He said. "Then you shall be bitten." Hibari said as he changed into his wolf form.

Mostly everyone was doing well, except Tsuna, who couldn't even get a hit in. All he could do was dodge, but even that was failing him as Xanxus was figuring out his pattern.

'Ah, what do I do? My size isn't enough, and I can't think of anything right now." Tsuna thought.

The fight was now outside as Tsuna had been thrown out of the window. Luckily, Tsuna went through a tree and was able to catch some of the branches to lessen his fall.

Suddenly Xanxus rammed into his side and Tsuna went flying into the building. Smoke was everywhere as Tsuna was beginning to lose consciousness.

Time seemed to move slowly as Xanxus made his way toward Tsuna.

'Is this how it's going to end. Am I just going to die? There's nothing I can do.' Tsuna thought.

'Yes you can.' A voice suddenly said.

'What?' Tsuna said as suddenly his surroundings became a field of flowers. Tsuna looked around as the wind blew. Then Tsuna noticed something, his ears weren't catching the wind like they always do, so Tsuna put a hand on his head, only to feel nothing.

Then he put a hand on the side of his head and felt something.

"A human ear?" Tsuna said.

"Yes, it's a human ear." This caused Tsuna to turn around an see someone who looked almost like him, except with lighter hair. Also, this person did not have any animal traits.

"Who are you?" Tsuna said. "Let's just say I'm your ancestor." The person said.

"Then, what are you doing here?" Tsuna said. "I here to show you something." The figure said.

It was then the field of flowers disappeared to be replaced by a plain of snow in the middle of a blizzard.

"Where are we." Tsuna said with confusion. It was snowing harshly, but he wasn't cold. "Come here." The person said.

Tsuna obeyed, and soon a cave came into view. They both went inside and Tsuna was hit by a blast of cold air, yet, Tsuna could see fire, well, what looked like fire. The fire suddenly shifted and formed in the shape of a wolf, a large, sleeping wolf.

"What, what is that?" Tsuna asked. "That is your inner wolf." The person said. "Why is it sleeping?" Tsuna said.

"Because you haven't given it what it needs." The person said. "What does it need?" Tsuna said. "Life." The person said.

"Life?" Tsuna said, the person nodded. "How am I supposed to do that?" Tsuna said. "Do what Dragon did before." At that, the person disappeared before Tsuna could utter a word.

So Tsuna thought to what happened before. He could vaguely remember it because he had been hit so hard. First, Dragon's hands were empty, then a flame appeared.

After, she threw the flame at him and afterwards, it entered him. Then he could feel immense heat inside himself.

"Maybe, maybe I need to give it some warmth." Tsuna said as he knelt down next to the wolf and began to pet it. The action gave him some results, but not enough. The wolf was still a sleep.

"What do I do now. That's all I can think of, wait, what other way can I give warmth?" Tsuna said.

So Tsuna began to think, but then remembered something. "When Hibari-san always hugs me, I feel very warm." Tsuna said.

So Tsuna turned to the wolf again. "Well, here's hoping it will work." Tsuna said as he hugged the wolf.

Back to reality, Xanxus was nearly there when he was suddenly rammed into. He flew ten feet away. When he recovered, there was no longer a smaller wolf, but a large wolf.

"To keep the pack warm and safe." Tsuna said as he charged. On the roof of the school, Dragon smiled.

"That's right, you have to nurture power before you can use it. Your wolf side is alive." Dragon said.
