Second victim: Lampo
The young green-haired man sat in bed eating candy. He didn't quite feel like getting up at the moment knowing that breakfast wasn't for another two hours. Now, don't get him wrong, it's not every time he wakes up that he eats candy. No, he occasionally eats candy if he's having a sweet tooth or he's anxious. And right now, he's a bit anxious and nervous.
Lampo had just finished his fifth piece of candy when there was a bang at his door. He lazily looked at it curiously when another bang was made. He sighed and got off his bed. He cleared his way through the candy wrappers that he knew G would start nagging him about cleaning up after himself.
Upon standing in front of the door, he began to open it.
"What is it y-" he was cut off by a punch to his stomach. He slammed into the the wall and slid onto his bed. In the doorway was a kangaroo, Ryohei's Vongola Animal, Kangaryuu or Garyuu for short. Tsuna, Lambo, Takeshi, Ryohei, and Hayato all gathered into the green head's room. Tsuna looked at the limp heap on the bed in worry before he let out a relieved sigh when he saw Lampo slowly get up in pain; clutching his stomach.
"You failed, Lampo."
The First Gen. Lightning Guardian looked up at them in wonder and pain.
"Ugh... What do you mean?" he gasped out. Damn that kangaroo packs a mean punch.
"This was a test and you failed." Gokudera explained. Lambo smirked.
"Ha! Guess you're not as good as they say you are." Lambo mocked.
"You are not permitted to have breakfast today. Or sweets." Tsuna nodded to Hayato and Takeshi to gather all the sweets in the room. The two did as was told and checked EVERY possible hiding space for the diabetic foods.
"What? Wait! Did Giotto say you could do that?" Lampo argued.
Tsuna gave him a sharp look. "This test is for all of your friends. If you cannot pass this little surprise attack, then you will not fight in the battle to come. So it doesn't matter if Giotto gives me permission or not to give you all training. You are to go by what I do to you to help you get stronger. Am I understood." Tsuna's voice hardened. Lampo was shocked into silence by the hard tone the seemingly caring man spoke into him with. Tsuna's friends looked at him with surprised and curious gazes. But once they understood the meaning of his harshness, their expressions became one if sadness and knowing.
The brunette sighed. "Gomen. It's just that I don't want anyone to die when we fight. I just wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something did happen. Well, see you later, Lampo-kun." he smiled and left the room with the rest of them, except Lampo himself.
The room was quiet. Deathly quiet.
'I will become stronger. If it means protecting my friends and keeping the Vongola alive, then I will become stronger.'
