Chapter 9: Short Lunch, Challenge and History
Everything happened so fast… I never had the chance to show them… I'm not strong… strong enough to protect them. It's my entire fault...The students got involved. Even my strongest guardian was on his knees… I'm on the verge of death as well, I received many bullets on my arms and a leg…The man in front of me was pointing a gun at me. I simply closed my eyes to receive it. I heard a click. "… Tsuna..!" I can hear my guardian call out to me. "Tsuna..!" I can hear him come closer… but why does it sound so distortional… Am I gonna die?
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
"OI TSUNA!"
The brunet shot his eyes open. "Nani? What happened? Is there an enemy?!" he looked around with panic. "Did someone get hurt?" He asked with a worried look.
"Tsuna, you need to calm down first…" The raven haired man reassured. "You looked like you were having a nightmare…" he flashed a gentle smile. "Are you sure you want to teach them, Tsuna? I mean, you look kind of pale and you deserve some rest."
Tsuna was staring at raven haired man and replied. 'So that was only a dream…' He thought. "I'm alright, really… I just want to eat a normal lunch… and that's all there is to it… Ahahaha…" He chuckled as he looked at the other side. "Maybe a little rest as well after eating my lunch…" He picked up his bento and started eating.
"Tenth…" his right hand man called out. Tsuna looked at his direction while chewing on his rice. "How will you explain that you're really Vongola Decimo?"
He choked on his food. "Tsuna DRINK THIS!" Yamamoto threw his water container to the brunet. He caught it drank it all in one go. "Arigatou Takeshi." He then wiped the excess water on his mouth with the back of his hand. He turned to Gokudera "I don't know if they'll believe me or not. I guess I should enter in hyper dying will mode?" He said the supposed to be answer in question form.
While eating their lunch in the secret room somewhere in Namimori Middle, they noticed a sudden flash. Quickly, they evaded whatever was coming. As it came, they noticed it was a bullet with a paper inserted in it.
Tsuna picked it up and read the contents
"Vongola Decimo,
I will hold everyone hostage if you won't go by my words. My assassination squad has made their way inside the campus. And they may be closer to you than you
expect them to be…
If don't want to cause harm in this innocent people, come and fight me.
P.S
If you choose not to fight, I will come to you instead
-Estraneo Boss, Monatno Estraneo… …That's what it said…" He finished the letter.
"Should I go or not?" The brunet questioned.
"Estraneo family… Where did I hear that again?" Yamamoto lightly scratched his cheek. "Estraneo… Estraneo… Estraneo… I'm sure I heard it somewhere…"
"It's the pineapple's previous family, BAKA!" Gokudera yelled with a tick mark appearing on his temple. "YES! That one!" the rain grinned as he pointed at the storm. "Ne, Tsuna isn't that family the one that you turned down five times? You know the alliance?"
"Yes, you're right Takeshi… and I can't believe they're fighting us because of this…" The brunet sighed. "Well there goes our lunch…" He looked at the barely touched bento. He glanced at the wall clock, it was 1:25. He paled; he was supposed to take over Hibari's History period. He was five minutes late and to top it off, Hibari hated tardiness… especially in classes. "HIIIEEEE! I SLEPT THROUGH THE WHOLE LUNCH AND YOU NEVER BOTHERED TO WAKE ME?! AND I'M LATE!" He shouted in panic at the two with eyes slightly widened.
"You wouldn't wake up and you looked like you needed one…" the baseball player reasoned out.
"But tenth what about the –
"Justlethimcometome, I'MLATE, BYE!" He ran out of the room leaving two men sweat dropping.
As he dashed out of the room, the brunet went to his class room. And as he reached his destination, he could hear someone writing on the board and students somehow silent like their lives depended on it. He looked at the window and saw a prefect writing on the board. 'Shouldn't I be the one teaching?'
"Herbivore."
The students flinched together with Tsuna. "Are you not gonna enter or do I need you to be dragged inside." The prefect gave two options, not looking at the supposed direction and was still writing.
"I'm entering." The brunet replied in a low and calm voice.
As the door opened, another surprising thing appeared. A brunet with a white pinstriped suit with a cloak appeared. He had sunset orange colored eyes and a flame on his forehead. Then he spoke "Kyoya, you said I'll be taking over. What's the meaning of this?"
"I don't accept tardiness in my class." The Skylark replied without looking at his boss.
The class was once again astonished. Never in their life have they seen a person calling the scariest person by his first name and they were talking so casually! Was Hibari working for that man over there? Wait, the brunet over there looks familiar… They just can't put a finger on it.
"I had some business to take care of."
"Go back to your seat."
"There will be more pests coming; they might come in a few while."
Hibari stopped writing and looked at the brunet, there was interest hidden in the man's eyes. He looked at Tsuna saying to continue.
"The Estraneo will be coming. Take care of the small fries, I'm sure they will be crowding. Leave the boss to me." He looked directly into the prefect's eyes.
"Hm, sounds interesting…" Hibari smirked. "I will be patrolling the area. I shall leave the class in your care Sawada Tsunayoshi." And with that said Hibari went off to carry the order. The class though was left flabbergasted. First they see a cute and innocent Tsuna, second they discovered Tsuna's good acting skills, third they thought Tsuna was a bipolar and now Tsuna ordering around Namimori's devil?! Okay what next? Tsuna is the Vongola Decimo?!
'Why must clouds be so capricious?' the brunet thought.
Tsuna, who was still in hyper dying will mode, entered the classroom. "I am Sawada Tsunayoshi, Vongola Decimo and your substitute for History period." He said in a calm manner... okay… so they stand corrected. Then the flame on his forehead decreased until he was back to normal Tsuna. "I may not be experienced much about teaching but please do take care of me." The brunet then gave a little bow.
As he raised his head, he flinched a little. He saw his classmates giving him suspicious gazes. Their eyes clearly say that 'You dirty little liar'. Tsuna can't help but sigh; it is the expected after all. Lucky for Enma, he just had to show his proof of being the heir. For Tsuna… it maybe… a little – no… a LOT of explanation is needed.
"Do you think we'll fall for your trick, Dame-Tsuna?" Osamu broke the silence. Tsuna just looked at his direction with confidence in his eyes. But he was thinking 'didn't he pass out from Bianchi's food poison?' This caused him to raise his suspicions.
"What trick?" he asked
"You being the Decimo is far by IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Why do you say that?" The brunet's voice suddenly became deeper.
"HEH! You don't have good grades, you don't have a good physical build, you have lack of coordination, and I'm sure that no one will follow your orders!"
"What if I prove you wrong? Will you acknowledge me as Vongola Decimo?" Tsuna titled his head to the side with a creepy smile on his face
"You don't need to prove yourself! EVERYTHING I SAID IS A FACT!" Osamu retorted.
"But what if everything you know about me is a lie? A façade? Or maybe false impression? And if you forgot already, the ordering part happened just awhile ago… you know… the order between me and Kyoya?" Tsuna looked at Osamu sickeningly.
Osamu felt fear in Tsuna's look and words. He was taken aback when the brunet mentioned Kyoya taking his orders. "That was just a set-up!"
Tsuna raised brow "Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure he won't go with such a thing…". He saw Osamu shut up and thought he couldn't give a reply.
"I-I- I'm pretty sure that you still don't have the coordination, build, strength and knowledge." Osamu stuttered as his voice betrayed him.
"Heh… Alright then… Let me lecture you people about the history of Vongola. I'm pretty sure THAT will prove you the knowledge part first. And let's start by its dark past and maybe if you people get lucky, you just might learn its dark secret." He then went into HDWM and started lecturing. If you ask why he was in his HDWM, he does that so people listen to him seriously like when in meetings.
"First of all, in the creation of Vongola, it wasn't Primo who made the company but someone else…" He glanced at the other student who were either listening attentively or zoning out. He asked a question to alert the class. "Question: Who is the real founder of Vongola?" he pointed at a person who was zoning out. "You, Tenshi, answer"
Suddenly, she snapped out of her trance and started panicking. Tsuna didn't want to wait and started to count down. "Tenshi, you have 5…4…3…2…"
The said girl closed her eyes tight and gave her answer. "Simon Cozart!" realizing what she just said; she shut her mouth close with her two hands.
Tsuna's eyes widened, what he asked what a classified question. The only people who know this are the mafia. The way Tenshi answered the question and the way she acted after answering the question made the brunet raise his suspicion toward the girl. 'Is she part of the Mafia? Don't tell me she's one of the enemies.' He acted quickly and asked "How did you know it is Simon Cozart?"
"I-I-I I don't know… Lucky guess?" The girl stammered.
"Liar." That one word made Tenshi's eyes widen and fear appeared in her eyes. "Follow me outside." Tsuna demanded. The girl could only follow the directions because of the fear paralyzing her thoughts.
As they went outside Tenshi was trembling in fear while Tsuna was giving a cold glare. "How did you know it was Simon Cozart?" Tenshi looked up with eyes trembling in fear. "I-I don't know." Her answer just made Tsuna angrier "LIAR!" Tenshi could only move back "Only people from the underworld know this information and I can see right through you. Now tell me the truth, HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT IT WAS SIMON COZART!"
"I-I- I said I don't know!"
"STOP LYING TO ME!"
The people in class started to quiver in fear as well, hearing the shouts coming from outside made the atmosphere tense.
"If you don't tell me the truth…" the brunet showed his glove. "I will…" then he emitted huge amounts of flames just a few inches away from her face.
"I GET IT! I GET IT! I'LL TELL THE TRUTH!" Tenshi raised her arms defensively. "I am Tenshi Nakamura, one of the Estraneo Family's assassins!" She closed her eyes hoping that a punch will be received… 'No punches?' She slowly opened her eyes and she saw Decimo… smiling?
"I only needed your answer. I have no intention of hurting you whatsoever. I just wanted to confirm something… but I'm sorry for what I'm about to do…"
'Vongola Decimo is a nice person… why is boss trying to eliminate him? I think we should be the one who's sorry…' Tenshi thought to herself as she completely surrendered to the boss of Vongola. "There is no need to be sorry Decimo. It's my loss and my defeat."
After that statement, she received a well-known chop at the back of her neck and became unconscious. Tsuna carried her on the back and used his gloves and emitted flames to thrust him to the infirmary faster.
After a few moments of silence, he returned back to the class as if nothing happened and continued his lessons. Nobody dared to ask him what happened because they thought they may end up the same with Tenshi's fate.
"Let me continue the past of Vongola. It's as Tenshi says, it was Simon Cozart and not Primo who created the Vongola Company you all knew today." He wrote down the important details. "It is said that the Vongola has brotherly bonds with the Simon Company… And that it was said that according to some rumors, Vongola abandoned Simon." The class gasped. "But now it has been fixed after ten generations."
Knock
Knock
"Enter."
As the door opened, it showed a man in suit. The brunette remained unfazed. And the man in suit announced the challenge. "Sawada Tsunayoshi, Vongola Decimo; you are hereby challenged the Estraneo family. You are to be anticipated in the gym at 2 o'clock!" And with one swift move, he disappeared.
The brunette then turned to his class. "As to what you hear, I will be at the gym by 2… and I believe that your gym class is on 2:20." He went to his table. "I guess that will be my test to prove my coordination, build and strength. Right, Osamu-kun?"
Osamu could only flinch and nervously gulped.
"Now let's continue our lesson shall we?"
'IS THIS REALLY DAME-TSUNA?!'

OMAKE
OSAMU KANEDA
He was somehow carried to the infirmary. He had no idea who or what brought him there. He woke up and met silence. When he tried to stand up, he just felt nauseous and lied down again. Nobody was there. It was so silent that you were sure that someone is bound to show up. He decided to let his guard up.
Every sound made him jerk. He even got startled even though it was just the fluttering curtains. His eyes narrowed a bit when he spotted a blur of black. Thinking that it was just his imagination, he didn't mind it anymore.
What he didn't expect was it closed him bit by bit.
When he was caught an injection was met by his poor neck. Osamu became unconscious but the injection gradually became filled with his blood. The injection was the injected into the intruder's veins. The blood was transferred to him. Slowly, the intruder's face became an Osamu copy.
The fake Osamu taped the real one and hid him behind the closet. He left and went to the supposed Osamu Kaneda's classroom… and pretended to be him…
