Okay I know my grammar and stuff sucks so feel free to complain but know that I probably wont change it much. I mean not unless I get a beta or something. So sorry if it annoys you but that's just sort of how I am.

Reborn somehow made a bunch of flyers appear out of nowhere and told Tsuna to put them up around the school. They were yellow and said this:

Band auditions this Friday 4:00 PM!

Open to all - Must be able to play

Then it had Tsuna's address, and Reborn's cell phone number under it. Tsuna sighed and hoped Hibari didn't bite him to death over this. So along with the help of Yamamoto he got all the flyers posted and handed out by the end of the day. After that Yamamoto had baseball practice and Tsuna had cleaning duty.

With Gokudera:

The other teen was angry about it and even considered leaving but he was afraid the school would call Bianchi or something. So he stayed. Much to the discomfort of Tsuna. They spent the whole first twenty minutes in silence until the absence of noise must have gotten to the silver haired teen.

He began to hum. Tsuna didn't complain he was kind of surprised when all of a sudden Gokudera started to hum when they had been so silent. And as he listened Tsuna realized he knew the song Gokudera was humming along to. The laugh that left his lips brought the humming to a halt as the other teen glared at him.

"No I'm sorry I wasn't laughing at you!"

He said hurriedly. Afraid Gokudera would get angry at him.

"It's just I know the band who made that song."

The words spilled out of his mouth before he could filter it. The shocked and disbelieving look he got from Gokudera wasn't all that unexpected to him.

"Don't lie. There's no way a nobody like you would know the people from Bucking Bronco."

Reborn picked this horrible moment to pop out of nowhere once again and butt into the conversation he had just walked in on.

"He should Dino spent more time at his house practicing then he did sleeping at home."

Gokudera glared at him.

"I wasn't talking to you."

He said defensively. Not liking the air around the tall man. This Reborn person gave off a dangerous feeling, one that made Gokudera's skin crawl.

"Tsuna I'm heading home. I'll call for some ramen so you're on your own for dinner again."

Reborn chose to ignore the teen altogether, instead he focused on a shocked Tsuna.

"Al-alright. I'll see you at home then."

Tsuna said quickly as he prayed Reborn would leave quickly. He could practically feel Gokudera trying not to say anything more either. And from what Tsuna could see the other teen was close to blowing up.

"Yeah."

Reborn turned and left. Leaving the two of them alone once again. When Reborn was fully out of sight and hearing range Gokudera dropped the broom he had been using and stormed off into the hallway.

Screw his sister telling his father where he was. This school sucked just like he thought it would. As he walked briskly down the hallway his sudden burst of anger got the best of him. And just as a student wearing all black walked into sight, Gokudera punch a dent into the wall next to him.

"That's damaging school property herbivore."

Hibari said angrily. Swiftly closing in on the angry teen. Tsuna had poked his head out the classroom door when he heard the impact of the punch and nearly hit the ceiling in fear when he saw Hibari.

"What are you going to do about it?"

Gokudera bit back at him. Hibari didn't answer with words but moved to strike him. The silver haired teen just barely dodged it. And didn't even have time to react as another tonfa came down on his shoulder. Forcing him to his knees from the pain of the impact. Gokudera had been in more than his share of fights but that had hurt more than he thought it would.

"Hibari! Wait!"

Tsuna shouted from where he was in the doorway. Hibari glared at him and was about to hit Gokudera over the head when Tsuna ran down the hall and stood in front of him. Hibari stopped short of beating the younger teen with centimeters to spare.

"Move herbivore."

He said. Anger obvious in his voice.

"Um…Well…but…I mean-"

Hibari growled and pulled the weapon back to get ready for another attack.

"Speak."

He said annoyed.

"Gokudera's new he doesn't know about the rules yet."

He said it in one breath and stared wide eyed at the serious face of Hibari.

"Then I should pound it into this weaklings skull."

Hibari said flatly. Not even blinking as he started to bring the tonfas down to strike Tsuna out of the way. Tsuna half expected this and put his hands up so that the weapons hit then instead of his head.

Hibari paused after hitting Tsuna in the hands and looked puzzled for a moment. Earlier that morning Tsuna hadn't even tried to block or cover himself. Yet now he even managed to predict where the attack was headed.

"Ow!"

Tsuna said pathetically.

"What are you-"

Gokudera started but the panicked look Tsuna gave him over his shoulder made him stopped. No one had ever stood up for him. Gokudera was used to being on his own. He was used to being beat up and no one caring. So why was this kid, shorter than him standing up to this scary ass dude for him? Especially after he was so fucking rude to the guy.

"What do you think you are doing weakling?"

Hibari asked coldly. The anger bleeding out of him was starting to give Tsuna chills.

"I'll teach him the rules so you don't have to…um…waste your time on it!"

Tsuna was so proud of himself for thinking of that on the spot. He hadn't even planned it the words just sort of spewed out of him. Sadly the words seemed to be a non stop flow with his nervousness.

"You have to patrol the school, and Mukuro is walking around somewhere, and then there's the other perfects I wonder what they are doing? Reborn wanted you to see him too, and school is already over, don't you have paperwork? I just really-"

"Stop."

Hibari said evenly. He couldn't stand so much useless words coming out of the younger teens mouth. To emphasizes his point Hibari lightly tapped Tsuna with his tonfa. Well he thought it was a tap. Tsuna fell over on his side and looked up at the head perfect.

"Fine. But next time he does something I'll bite you to death for it instead."

Tsuna nodded repeatedly and Hibari turned leaving them behind in the hallway. As an after thought Hibari paused and looked at Tsuna from over his shoulder.

"I am only letting you off easy because I don't like being in debt to weak herbivores like you."

Tsuna blinked in confusion but nodded anyway.

"Thank you Hibari."

Hibari said nothing as he walked away from the two of them. Tsuna slumped down onto the floor further than he already was, and sighed. He lifted his aching hands up and saw they were red and kind of swollen but definitely not broken. That didn't mean they didn't hurt like hell but he figured he had gotten worse from Reborn before.

"Why would you do that? If I was you I would have let me get the shit kicked out of me."

Tsuna smiled nervously at Gokudera.

"Hibari can be harsh sometimes. Especially when it comes to the school, and he hasn't been in a good mood since yesterday so it wouldn't have been fair to you."

Gokudera was somehow awed and moved by this. He looked at Tsuna's hands and wondered what his head would have looked like had a hit like that landed.

"Thank you."

Gokudera said bowing his head deeply.

"I promise something like this will never happen again if I'm around. Please take me in as your underling."

He looked up at Tsuna with pleading eyes. Gokudera felt like a jerk and wanted to protect the first person to ever be nice to him. Someone who no matter what h had said to him, or done, or even the way he had looked, was still kind. In the world he had grown up in Gokudera didn't even get kindness from his own father. Tsuna was someone to be respected, and followed. He shouldn't have even wasted his time on someone as worthless as himself.

Tsuna was just stunned, and kind of confused at this. Gokudera had seemed scary, but now he was asking to be his underling. Tsuna thought about it for a few minutes, and then started to laugh. Causing Gokudera to look at him with slight fear in his eyes. What if he said no? Was all the sliver haired teen could think.

"Why don't we just be friends?"

Tsuna offered. Smiling widely to the other teen. Gokudera was blown away by this.

"You would have me as a friend?"

Tsuna nodded, smile still firmly in place.

Gokudera had no idea how to respond to something like this. No one in his entire life had ever asked to be friends. He tried one time to ask Shamal if they were friends but the older man had quickly said no.

"Alright."

Gokudera said eventually. He grinned from nearly ear to ear with happiness. Then pulled himself up, and offered a hand down to Tsuna who took it gratefully. But when Gokudera gripped his hand and pulled him up Tsuna winced. He had forgotten for a moment that Hibari had down a number on his hands.

"Sorry."

Gokudera said letting go instantly, afraid of injuring his new friend further.

"It's okay. I'm used to things like this."

Gokudera wanted to ask how someone could be used to such painful looking injuries but thought better of it.

"Lets start over."

Tsuna said happily, then held his hand out once more. Gokudera took it again, but this time was more cautious of how tightly he gripped the hand.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi. Tsuna for short."

Gokudera smiled full heartedly and shook the hand he held.

"Gokudera Hayato."

They stopped shaking hands and began to laugh. And Tsuna was starting to think things were looking up for him.
