Disclaimer: I do not own KHR.
Hey! I'm back with a new chapter! Thanks for all the reviews, follows, and favorites and it's only been 2 chapters. I would have never thought I would get so many to be honest. But nonetheless enjoy this long chapter.
The next morning came and Tsuna woke up with a start as he heard a crash coming from the kitchen.
"What's going on...? Giotto?!"
The brunet was now fully awake, seeing that the kitchen was a mess and Giotto was in an apron. He must be still dreaming.
"Sorry Tsuna, I was trying to make breakfast and it seems like my skills have dulled. I haven't cooked for a long time."
"G-Giotto, please refrain from cooking ever again. Please."
The blond pouted, "But, I want to do something for you. You cooked for us yesterday."
Tsuna sighed he wasn't going to win was he? "You can help me alright?"
The brunet swore that Giotto's eyes were sparkling at Tsuna's reply. He complied and helped out with little harmless chores. Tsuna didn't want the blond to get hurt after all. The guardians would probably kill him.
"Tsuna I know I said this once, but your food tastes great!"
"Thanks, would you like it if I prepared a bento for you too? It's just because I don't mind preparing two since I need lunch myself."
"Really? I don't want to trouble you too much but if you are sure then I'm fine with it. I would love to eat more of your dishes."
Tsuna had to admit, he thought Giotto was more of the reserved type but being roommates with him for the past day had crushed his image of the blond. He was more childlike then he had imagined.
"It is fine, I'll go prepare then."
While Tsuna was making their bentos, Giotto had received an urgent call from the Student Council office. He tried to delay it but to his dismay he couldn't.
"Tsuna, I have to go early, could you drop the lunch at my office if possible?"
The brunet was still in amidst of making the lunches so he mindlessly agreed to whatever Giotto had just said.
"Thanks again, I'll see you later then Tsuna!"
Giotto bolted out of the room while muttering something about how he wanted a break and wanted some more time to talk to Tsuna.
Awhile later, Tsuna was finally finished with them, and looked at the clock. It was 8:00am, and school was in 10 minutes or so. In other words, he was screwed as he hadn't even changed his clothes yet.
'I lost track of time again, Reborn-sensei is going to kill me.' Tsuna looked around, it seemed like Giotto had left. He somewhat recalled that Giotto said he had to be somewhere so Tsuna would have to bring his lunch to the blond personally.
'I just hope I don't meet any of his guardians any time soon.' Tsuna sighed, and panicked again when looking at the clock again. He clumsy wore his uniform and ran to class.
'I'm only five minutes late, normally teachers would give him a break.' He slowly opened the door and crept into class. But before he could breathe, a bullet shot 3mm away from his face.
"Hieeee!" Tsuna screamed, standing upright while the rest of the class laughed at him.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, also known as, Dame-Tsuna. You're late." Reborn grinned manically.
"I'm sorry?" Tsuna whimpered, his day could just not be any worse.
"I'll be talking to you after class, if you don't come, be prepared for...unfortunate events."
Tsuna gulped, nodding furiously, it was one thing after another. He slowly walked to his seat but the brunet felt an intense stare on him. Taking a wild guess he looked to the black-haired boy, and if a stare could kill Tsuna would have been dead by now.
"Hibari, you can go kill Sawada later, or bite him to death. Do whatever but focus on the lesson."
'So his name was Hibari, I'm definitely going to avoid him at all costs.'
"Tsuna-sama, don't worry about that stupid skylark. He does that to everyone, I'll be here to protect you." Gokudera tells him after the lesson. But for some reason Tsuna had a feeling Hibari is not a regular being.
"Is Hibari-san of Demonic descent too Gokudera?"
"Yeah most of us aren't humans. This class is mostly composed of demon, and of course magic users like you. I'm of demonic descent, and so is Hibari."
"So, why are you guys here? I don't really listen to class much now. But if it's too much trouble I can just find out myself."
"No no! It's an honour to be of help to you, Tsuna-sama. Let's see, we demons need energy, these are the so called dying will flames to survive. Usually we can just take minimum amounts from the surroundings and environment. But some of us like to contract a magic user because their flame load is unusually high this makes it easy because we can help each other out. For example, I can do whatever you would like me to do of my utmost ability in return for your supply of flames. However, if either of us deems the other no longer worthy of the contract we can cancel it."
"I see, thanks for explaining all this. I really should be listening to the lessons more closely." Tsuna was embarrassed of his lack of knowledge. He never knew that he would need to know this.
"No need to thank me. Also, there are higher level contracts. The one we did was a special one by the way." Gokudera quickly added.
"Huh?! What was special about it? I don't remember doing anything different from class."
"It's partially my fault, remember—" Gokudera paused a bit, red tinting his cheeks, "I kind of kissed your hand."
Tsuna's eyes widen in other contracts he had seen made, there was nothing like that. It was just words, the normal incantation."
"The contract deems that we can never cancel it. So, Tsuna-sama I'll be with you till your death since if we cancel it we'll suffer horrible consequences!" Gokudera happily informed him with a smile on his face as if he did something honourable.
"Ehhh?!" Tsuna wasn't expecting that, but a friend that would be with him for decades to come didn't sound that bad.
"Are you angry...at me?" Tsuna swore Gokudera had dog ears, and they drooped.
"No! I was just surprised. A friend that lasts me till death sounds nice. I never had a real friend before. Thank you."
Gokudera's cheeks reddened, "Tsuna-sama! I'm glad I made a contract with you. You're the best master I could ever ask for."
"No. I'm not your master. You are my friend." Tsuna spoke in a colder tone, making Gokudera flinch.
The silver-haired boy nodded in understanding, knowing that Tsuna would never change his mind about the matter and he respected that.
"Hey Tsuna!" Yamamoto jumped into the conversation happily, "It seems like Gokudera likes you a lot. Mind if I be one of your friends too? If you are friends with Gokudera you must be a great person."
Yamamoto chuckled all so slightly, with Gokudera yelling at how he's disrespecting his friend/master.
"It's okay, I would love to be friends with you too Yamamoto-san."
"Same here!" Yamamoto laughed and smiled like usual but Tsuna frowned at the motion. He was faking it again, but the brunet kept his mouth shut for now.
Tsuna was then reminded that he had to go to Reborn's office. Unconsciously he had been putting it off, but if he was late Reborn-sensei would kill him. He had no doubt about it.
Gokudera offered to escort him but Tsuna refused saying that he might get in trouble too.
Tsuna hesitantly pushed open the faculty staff room, peering inside. 'Reborn isn't in there...does that mean I can avoid a lecture from-.'
The brunet felt a strong weight on his shoulders, he was about to scream bloody murder but a hand covered his mouth.
"Scream and I'll make your life miserable." A voice hissed into his ear.
The brunet was scared for his life, but he kept his composure surprisingly. "So, am I going to get a lecture again?"
"No, none of that, you'll never learn that way. I have gotten a request from the head of Vongola High to... personally look after you. In my means, that would be tutoring."
Tsuna tilted his head in confusion, "What does the chairman of Vongola want with me? Who is he?"
"I can't answer that, it's a secret. It does have something to do with your flames...and your other self."
"Natsu?!"
"So he is called that, well that's useful information. Mind letting me talk to him for a bit?"
"Right now, he might beat you up so I don't think I should."
"I think I can handle it, Dame-Tsuna. I'm the number one magic user remember?" Reborn smirked.
The air chilled at the comment the man made. Reborn, in a matter of seconds was shoved against the wall.
"I dare you say that again."
"And I guess you are Natsu." Reborn pulled out his gun and aimed at the other's chest. "Now, you don't want your beloved Tsunayoshi to be killed because of your antics right?"
Orange-tinted eyes narrowed, fuming, he lowered his grip releasing the man.
"What do you want from us?"
"What flames do you wield? I have heard from the doctor that Tsuna used a pure sun flame spell to speed up his recovery. And I'm sure Tsunayoshi possesses sky flames and not the latter."
"That's none of your business." The smaller male spat out.
"I advise you not to anger me, demon who resides in Tsuna. Know your place; do you know who you are talking to here?" Reborn's expression still remained neutral but his tone and turned in a more demanding manner.
"I do know who you are, current Demon king but I don't give a shit. Though, I never knew you would swoop so low to owe the Vongola's a favour though." Natsu smirked, refraining from laughing.
"It interests me, Tsunayoshi's existence that is. He seems useless at first look, but I know he's more than that. One of the reasons I am even considering to take him under my wing."
"Oh...you made Tsuna happy. This is good." The brunet smiled sincerely. "For that I will tell you the information you seek. I wield all five of the dying will flames at a high standing. In other words, I suggest you not to get on our bad side, Demon king or not."
"Then, you don't mind if I tutor Tsuna, it will benefit the both of you in the end." Reborn probed attempting to compromise.
"For now, you may. But, we both know that you are not telling us the full truth."
With that Tsuna was switched back, and regained conscious. Reborn noticing that, smacked Tsuna on the head.
The brunet winced at the pain. "D-don't worry, I have Natsu under control. He deserved that anyways."
"Guess that means I can act freely around you then."
Tsuna shivered, but it couldn't be that bad. Reborn didn't seem too bad of a person. "Please go easy on me, sensei."
"Of course, now 50 laps around the school will be the first assignment. You have absolutely no stamina, low grades overall, horrible at magic. The list goes on."
With that Reborn shot his gun signalling that Tsuna had better run. "Hieee! Okay okay, I'll go!"
Meanwhile, Natsu was trembling with anger, but he knew he had to keep it all in for Tsuna's growth.
'I'll kill him after this. Mark my words shitty king.'
Giving up on trying to calm Natsu down, Tsuna ran his fifty laps, during his last lap someone called out to him.
Tsuna looked over his shoulder to see Yamamoto running to him. Catching his breath, he nodded towards the taller boy.
Tsuna slowly came to a stop and faced Yamamoto, "Hey, Yamamoto-san right? What are you doing here?"
"Yup, I was practicing my spells, but it wasn't going too well. There's this one spell I want to master but I can't cast it no matter what I do. Do you have any advice for me?"
The brunet honestly didn't know what to say. Just a day ago, he couldn't even summon up a flame so why would he be advising someone on how to cast a high tier spell. "E-eh, I think you should just keep practicing, y-you know don't give up."
"That's exactly what I was thinking! Thanks." Yamamoto greeted him with another of those fake smiles which made Tsuna cringe.
"A-ah yeah, glad I could help."
They both then said their goodbyes and went their own ways. Finally, Tsuna completed his last lap, so he went to the roof to take a break...or not.
"Herbivore I found you." A chilling voice spoke, drowning Tsuna in fear.
Tsuna squeaked, instincts telling him to flee but he couldn't. "Hibari-san..."
"You have broken many rules of this school."
Tsuna backed away sensing the other's murderous intentions. "I'm not sure what you're talking about, Hibari-san."
"You were late for the morning assembly, and class. You were engaged in a battle with V. Giotto and his guardians without permission."
"Ah...that." Without warning, Hibari charged in with his tonfas.
"Hibari-san!?" Tsuna dodged one attack after another. If there was one thing Tsuna was good at, it was running away.
"Plea—"
Tsuna felt his body was on fire. Natsu was trying to break out, to protect him but Tsuna wouldn't let it happen. He didn't want Hibari to get hurt because of him. It was his fault in the end for breaking the rules.
The brunet looked around his surroundings trying to see if there was some way out of this problem without hurting Hibari or getting hurt. He quickly made up his mind. His entire body denied his idea but this was the only way.
Edging to the cliff of the roof, it seemed he was getting cornered.
"Herbivore, do you want to die? Fight back."
Tsuna just gave him the biggest smile he could give to a person and fell off. In a slight state of surprise, Hibari reached out to grab the small boy but Tsuna purposely avoided him and closed his eyes.
You are crazy Tsuna.
'I see you've come back to your senses, Natsu. Now help please.' Tsuna hoped this plan worked but he had confidence in Natsu.
Orange-tinted eyes opened wide. Bright sky flames were then shooting out of his hands, keeping them afloat.
Then control came back to Tsuna. "Eh?! Natsu, I'm not on the ground yet, what are you doing?!"
Panic came over Tsuna, he didn't know how to control these flames yet.
'Focus on your flames, think of your resolve. Mine was to protect you. What is yours?'
'My resolve...? To not let Hibari-san get hurt... to not let my friends get hurt? I'm not sure if Hibari-san is a friend yet. I think he considers me to be a nuisance.' Tsuna started to sulk, which made his flames go down.
'I'm sure it'll work out. You found your resolve, now focus on that. Never forget it.'
Tsuna focused on his thoughts of wanting to protect Gokudera, and Hibari from Natsu. It wasn't a strong resolve but enough to keep his flames on.
'A weak resolve for now, but don't worry Tsuna. You'll strengthen your bonds...even with that Skylark.'
'So that's why your flames were flaring so strongly. You really wanted to shield me from harm...' Tsuna thought while Natsu remained silent.
'You know what?' Tsuna continued, 'I want to become stronger, so you don't have to worry about me so much.'
Tsuna's flames responded to his will and grew a little brighter and stronger.
I do what I want, but becoming stronger is a good thing so do what you like.
Tsuna then landed on the ground. He looked up to see Hibari on the roof glaring at him. He waved before running off. His heart still was beating relentlessly from that reckless act.
Upon walking back to class, he realized that it was already lunch. And there was only ten minutes left before it ends...
'Lunch...lunch?! Giotto! I forgot to give him his bento!' Tsuna screeched inwardly, he hoped that Giotto had gotten another lunch from someone else and wasn't waiting for him. The brunet had completely forgotten with all the craziness that happened today.
Trudging to the Student Council office he arrived at the door. 'Giotto would be disappointed. He was looking forward to the bento too. I really am Dame-Tsuna.'
He reached for the door, when it slammed open in his face.
"You're late, Giotto was waiting for you the whole time." G yelled at him without restraint.
Shrinking back, he felt a stabbing pain near his chest. He couldn't even do such a simple thing without messing up. "He was still waiting?"
"Yes, now get your ass in here and give him that stupid bento." G then muttered something under his breath.
Tsuna stepped inside and looked over to the desk. It was overwhelmed by stacks of paper but he then saw the puffy hair spikes of the blond.
"Tsuna! You're finally here. I was waiting for so long! Did you run into any problems?"
"A couple but I'm okay. Sorry for being late, I kind of got caught up in my thoughts and issues." This includes various assaults from Hibari. But the brunet knew if he mentioned that he'll just get a headache.
Within those moments Giotto already had cleaned up the bento shocking Tsuna. "Your food really is the best!"
"If you want... I can make one for you every day." Tsuna sheepishly added in.
It made Tsuna happy that someone had liked his food. He usually only cooked for himself and never had a chance to do so for others so it was surprising.
"Thank you Tsuna, I'll be looking forward to it then. Is there anything I can do in return for you?"
"No, it's fine. I enjoy cooking anyways. Do you have any foods you like?"
"I would like anything you cook, it'll be a surprise." Giotto answered him earnestly. Honestly he would eat anything Tsuna would cook for him, it was that good.
"Alright, then I'll be going now. I don't want to be late for class." Tsuna walked towards the door ready to leave. He wasn't risking it he already had to deal with muscle pain from running 50 laps.
"We can go together if you like. I'm almost finished with the paperwork." Giotto added in hastily.
The brunet looked to the blond there was a glint of happiness in his eyes. No one had ever asked him that before. Tsuna looked down, not knowing how to answer.
"If you don't want to wait that—" 'It might have been too fast, we aren't even friends yet.' Giotto reminded himself.
"No! I don't mean that. It's just are you sure you want to... be seen with me?" Tsuna paused, "I'm the most useless magic user in this school. Dame-Tsuna." His bangs shadowed his expression as Tsuna casted his glance down.
"Don't call yourself that. You are not Dame-Tsuna you are just Tsunayoshi. From what I've seen you are a kind, and selfless person. Aren't we already friends, Tsuna?"
The brunet was speechless. He tried forming a reply but no words came out.
"Let's go, the paperwork can wait till after school. You can give me your reply later. Though, I would really like to be friends with you." Giotto grabbed Tsuna's wrist and pulled him out of the room.
"Thank you..." Tsuna whispered softly.
Giotto whipped his head towards Tsuna and patted his head. "Friends then?"
"Yeah, that would be nice." Tsuna smiled in response.
When they got to class, everyone stared at them. Some of the females glared at Tsuna which made him back away.
"Well well, you two sure are brave. Especially you Tsunayoshi, late two times in a row. " Reborn stated tonelessly causing the other two to shiver in fear.
Tsuna then looked down, his expression concealed. Giotto panicked a little and leaned towards Tsuna to make sure he was alright.
"Don't get close with Tsuna." Natsu sneered in a quiet but hostile tone.
Giotto quickly backed away but before anything else happened, Tsuna had returned.
A shot had fired between their faces shocking them both. "If you two don't shut up right now I'll shoot you." Reborn cut them off before they could converse any longer.
"You already fired though." Tsuna mumbled.
"Oh did you have something to add Tsuna?"
Both of them rushed to their seats, no one wanted to suffer the wrath of Reborn.
"Sorry, Natsu was a little mad for some reason." Tsuna whispered to Giotto before they separated.
Giotto grinned and said it wasn't a big deal. He was getting used to it after all.
The class went on with the teachings and the relations between the Underworld and Earth. Tsuna for once paid a little more attention to class than before. Tsuna noticed that Yamamoto wasn't in class. The brunet had a bad feeling about it but didn't know what to do. So he tried to keep his focus on the lesson.
"As you all know this class is special. There are talented contractors and demons that reside here. You are all to find suitable partners to work with and form a contract. After, you will be entered into training to fight against the Unknown. The Unknown are ones that plague the Earth they are known to kill innocent human beings for their flames. They are different from demons as they don't have a conscious mind. All they want are flames.
If you all had paid attention in class, only the ones contracted with a demon can see and defeat them. You both share powers where the contractor shares flames with demons and you can gain more power in return. Flames are the essence of magic within an individual and are used to activate spells. Nonetheless, there are dangers as demons can trick you and just eat you for flames. But that's a hassle since we would have to fight against you. Anyways, it's fun fighting against the Unknown, those stupid pests."
'I really should have paid attention to class. Wait... don't I already have a contract with Gokudera?! That means I have to fight against the Unknown?! Hieeee!'
But before the lecture could go on any longer someone slammed the doors open. "Yamamoto's on the edge of the roof. He's trying to jump off, please help!" The student yelled, sending everyone into a panic.
Tsuna ran out of the class faster than anyone else. Was it because of what he said to work harder to him? Did something happen?
When he was on the roof he found the boy standing on the edge. "Yamamoto-san..."
Yamamoto turned around with a wry smile. "Hey...Dame-Tsuna, you know, when you told me to work harder. I did and I ended up practicing a high tier spell... but that ended up backfiring. Now I can't feel my magic anymore, I can't summon up flames. I'm worthless now. But what can you understand? You're just Dame-Tsuna."
Yamamoto inched close to the edge. Tsuna closed his eyes, "Ne, I don't understand, I'm Dame-Tsuna like you said. But you know what, you aren't worthless not one bit. You are amazing...not worthless at all." Tsuna stepped forward.
"Look around you. There are so many people here for you. They are worried. Think about your important ones you must have some. I'm not like you I'm worst. I didn't even have a person who I could call a friend until recently. But things are changing, they get better. It might take some time but I'm here with you, so are your friends like Gokudera. Now get down there. I have an idea to help you. Call it an instinct but anything's worth a try. Believe in me."
Tsuna took another step forward and reached out with his hand. "Let's go."
The taller boy went to grab his hand but he stumbled backwards. And before Tsuna or anyone else could catch him he fell.
The brunet's eyes widen and without hesitation he jumped forth to catch Yamamoto.
'You can save him yourself right?'
Tsuna summoned up his sky flames and caught Yamamoto in a bridal hold. He slowly hovered towards ground and landed safety.
"Are you okay?" Yamamoto felt that Tsuna's aura was quite different now, much calmer and mature. He could merely nod in reply.
"Alright would you like to hear my plan? To be honest, your flames haven't faded. It's small and about to fade away but it's there. We only have to rekindle it. Though, that might be easier than said."
"It's still there?" Yamamoto gasped in disbelief. A small warmth of hope began to spread inside him.
"Yes, and from what I've learned in classes this should work. Would you like to make a contract with me?"
"Eh?"
"I can share my flames with you. Or well we don't have to, there is another way. But I felt like I needed to ask you."
"Let me thi—"
"No it's okay I didn't mean to push you to make a decision. We'll do the other way then."
Tsuna then leaned forward and pressed his forehead to Yamamoto's. Both were being enveloped by Tsuna's flames. The pure orange flames began to seep into Yamamoto. He felt warm and full of energy. It then started to calm down to the taller boy's original element, rain.
'Tsuna...I want to protect him. I feel like he's the only one for me. And I may lose him if I don't act now.'
Yamamoto grasped Tsuna's hand, and lightly kissed it. "Tsuna, if your offer is still open. I would like to take it."
"Huh?!" Tsuna was busy blushing, he would never get used to it.
But the other boy just ignored him and grinned.
"I invoke the guardian contract to be tied with Sawada Tsunayoshi for as long as he lives. My name is Yamamoto Takeshi, for I am aligned with the rain. Sawada Tsunayoshi, wielder of the sky flames, will you accept me and lend me your flames in exchange for my power?"
This was just too much for him in a day. But nonetheless Tsuna couldn't help but smile and give in.
"The bearer of the sky flames, Sawada Tsunayoshi will accept you as my rain guardian. Yamamoto Takeshi, may you prosper with the sky."
A sapphire ring appeared forth which was given to Yamamoto and a gem of the same color was embedded in Tsuna's gloves.
Tsuna slumped down to the ground. He was too tired. "So are your flames back?"
"Yeah I feel more power than I have ever in my life. You really are amazing."
"Nah, I'm just Dame-Tsuna. That's all."
"You should really stop calling yourself that... You should be Amazing-Tsuna or something."
"Eh...that sounds lame."
"Really? I think it sounds cool."
Tsuna sighed not wanting to waste energy in arguing. He soon drifted off while hearing a distant cry who he thought to be Gokudera fretting over him again.
"Tsuna-sama! How dare you hurt him you idiot? You should be thankful Tsuna-sama saved you."
"Yup I am, but try to refrain from being loud. Tsuna's sleeping and you wouldn't want to wake him right?"
"I'm sorry Tsuna-sama. I'm of low calibre, for some reason I can't even sense you when you're in danger. This is weird." Gokudera lowered his voice considerably.
"That's unusual. Maybe we should ask Reborn-sensei?"
"Yeah we'll do that later. Let's bring Tsuna-sama to the doctor's office first."
Giotto came running up to them. "Is Tsuna safe?" He was out of breath. Everyone was questioning him about what had just happened so he couldn't get to Tsuna's side quick enough.
"He's fine. We're about to head to the nurses." Gokudera was impatient he wanted to let the brunet rest already. Now that he was this close to him, the silver haired boy could sense that Tsuna had lost a lot of flames.
"I'll come with you two."
They arrived and the doctor sighed. "Sawada Tsunayoshi? He's been coming to here much too often. What is this boy doing?"
Gokudera and Yamamoto flinched, guilty. They had hurt their precious friend and sky.
"He had just lost a lot of flames. He just needs to rest. Does anyone know the teleport spell? We can let him rest in his own room."
"I'm his roommate I can take him." Giotto offered. "You two should go back to class and explain to Reborn. He's already furious that everyone had left class."
Both the rain and storm knew that Giotto was more than capable but they still felt a sense of uneasiness.
"I can't leave his side!"
"I'm stronger than you two. I'll be enough, now go to class." The aura around the blond became stiff.
The two gave in since it didn't look like Giotto would change his mind. They had to ask Reborn about Tsuna anyways.
"I'll be going now. I'll see you two later." Giotto initiated the incantation and within a second he was gone with only a trail of sky flames left behind.
The blond had safely landed in the middle of their room. He gently tucked Tsuna into his own bed and sat in a chair next to him.
He ran his hand through his hair, sighing. "Tsunayoshi..."
"What about him?"
Giotto fell back on his chair, spluttering incoherent words. "Natsu?!"
"Tsuna's sleeping so I came out. So, what do you want with him?"
"Nothing I was just worried. I have a question for you though. One I've been meaning to ask for awhile."
Natsu knew what Giotto wanted to ask him already but he wasn't ready to blurt out his whole life to this person he met a day ago. "What...?"
"You... are a demon right? You aren't a normal one either. I sense two distinct presences so you can't be a split personality of Tsuna's."
"Perhaps, what if I am? What are you going to do?" Natsu hissed at the blond.
"Nothing, you aren't doing any harm to Tsuna. I was just curious." Giotto replied. He just had to make sure that Natsu wasn't taking advantage of Tsuna.
"Heh, is that so? Let me ask you a question now. Why would the head of Vongola Academy ask for Reborn to come here?"
"I-I don't know what you are talking about." Giotto stuttered. He was not prepared for this.
"Why are you here then? I know you have been keeping tabs on Tsuna before."
"Why do you assume I'm the head of Vongola?"
"Because of your guardians, who else has the power to hold six high tier demons? By the way you should really hide that ring better." Natsu lifted his finger and muttered a short spell causing Giotto's necklace to float. The Vongola sky ring sparkled in the light, with a chain that sealed its power.
"You saw through Daemon's illusions." Giotto stated, not surprised.
"There was an illusion? It must have been a weak spell." Natsu chuckled. "Anyways, I just wanted to make sure. I won't do anything yet because you aren't causing Tsuna harm. But don't you dare drag Tsuna into your affairs."
"It's his decision in the end. You can't stop him."
Natsu glared at the blond he really didn't like him. "I don't care; if it's for his sake I would do anything."
"Natsu..." Giotto was conflicted but he couldn't tell the brunet the truth right now. It would have to wait. "Just know that I'm not trying to harm Tsuna."
"Fine, either way you'll tell me eventually." Natsu fell back to the bed. "I'll let Tsuna rest now, don't wake him up."
"I won't, thanks Natsu for protecting Tsuna all this time."
"...Tsuna was the one who saved me. Of course I would protect him." Natsu muttered under his breath.
"What did you say?" Giotto was already at the door.
"Nothing, now get out." Natsu growled.
Meanwhile Gokudera and Yamamoto were back in class with a narrow death from a spray of bullets that welcomed them.
"—Reborn?! I actually have a slip that says we are pardoned from being late." Gokudera tried to reason with him.
"Oh you do? I didn't hear you, sorry."
"Probably because of the gunfire..." Gokudera mumbled in annoyance. Yamamoto just cheerfully laughed like nothing had just dangerously endangered his life.
The class continued like usual and ended peacefully without any other interference.
"Reborn-sensei, we have something to discuss with you in regards to Tsuna-sama." The silver-haired boy needed to find out what was happening with Tsuna.
"What happened?"
"When Tsuna-sama was in danger, I could not sense or summon myself to him. Would you perhaps know why?"
"It's most likely Natsu. Tsuna's other self he probably put a seal that only Tsuna could summon you guys."
"The one I fought with during the duel..."
They were all deep in thought, everything was just messed up. In the end, Reborn had told them to just keep an eye on Tsuna and make sure he kept out of trouble. And the matter was left unfinished for now. Reborn had to get more information on Tsunayoshi's current state. Just what exactly was Natsu? All he knew was he was a high ranking demon. To be able to wield five flames is no simple accomplishment.
'Could he be... who I was searching for?'
