As they sat eating Reborn started to talk about his work. And Tsuna wanted to knock himself out five minutes into the conversation. But is started out as something like this.

"So Mr. Reborn what is it you do for a living?"

Kyoko had asked innocently. Little did she know Reborn had been looking for an opening to get started talking about his favorite subject. Himself.

"I'm a band manager. The last one I just did was Bucking Bronco."

Kyoko looked shocked then smiled widely.

"I have all of their CD's."

She exclaimed excitedly. Ryohei tilted his head in confusion and swallowed the mouth full of food he was chewing.

"I forgot who they are to the extreme."

He said. Tsuna knew this was going just the way Reborn had wanted it to.

"Their lead singer Dino is from Italy big brother. I showed you some of their songs a few weeks ago."

Ryohei looked truly thoughtful then shook his head no.

"I don't remember at all."

Kyoko laughed and offered Reborn seconds. He accepted while smiling, then turned back to Ryohei.

"So you play the drums really well. How long have you been playing?"

He asked, and Tsuna hoped he wasn't the only one who saw the evil, scheming glint in his eyes.

"Since grade school."

Ryohei replied seriously for once. Reborn smiled like it was Christmas morning.

"Ever thought of joining a band?"

"Never! I want to be a boxer to the extreme!"

He screamed out as a reply. Ryohei got so worked up he was on his feet, hands clenched into fist that he had pumped into the air.

"Big brother please calm down."

Kyoko asked meekly. Ryohei snapped out of whatever riled up reaction he had gone into and sat back down, scratching the back of his head nervously.

"Sorry Kyoko."

Reborn was quiet as he thought over a new sort of approach. He hadn't expected for Ryohei to react to passionately over being a boxer. But on another level Reborn admired the teen for his enthusiasm. That kind of drive wasn't found easily.

And Reborn wanted it. So he would make sure he got it.

"What do you think Kyoko?"

Reborn asked with the young girl. Kyoko looked a bit shocked then melted into a smile as she glanced over to her older brother.

"It would be safer for big brother to play the drums instead of always fighting."

It was Ryohei's turn to look shocked at what his sister said.

"Do you really think that Kyoko?"

He asked in the lowest voice Tsuna had heard him speak since meeting the older teen. Kyoko seemed embarrassed to be put under the spotlight like this. Her cheeks were flushed and she avoided looking Ryohei in the eyes. The whole table was silent for a few beats. Until Reborn decided he had put Ryohei under enough heat to give it another try.

"Well if you change your mind."

Reborn stood up and pulled a business card out of his inner blazer pocket. Handing it over to Ryohei who surprisingly took it quietly. Nodding his head numbly.

"Tsuna we should get going."

Tsuna stood up and bowed to Kyoko and Ryohei.

"Thank you for the food it was great," he said.

Reborn nodded his head to Kyoko and sent a serious gaze to Ryohei. He knew he had left the teen with a lot to think about. And he was hoping it worked to his favor. If not he would just have to keep trying. Kyoko showed them the way out and waved to them as the two walked down the street. Once they rounded the corner Tsuna began the questioning he had been dying to ask since he knew what Reborn was planning.

"So you want Ryohei to join your new band?"

Tsuna asked. Cringing in anticipation of the hit for asking a stupid question. After a few seconds of nothing he peeked his eyes open and looked up at Reborn. The older man had an amused smirk on his face at Tsuna's reaction.

"At least you knew that was a stupid question."

He chuckled slightly.

"But yes I want Ryohei to join. I don't think we're going to find a better drummer in this town then him. If only he wanted it as badly as he did boxing."

Reborn was quiet for a few seconds and then smirked that 'I pulled a prank on you' smirk that Tsuna knew to avoid when directed at him.

"Well as long as his sister wants it for him then Ryohei Sasagawa will want it."

Tsuna shook his head. He should have known Reborn asking Kyoko that question wasn't just to be polite. It was to get into Ryohei's head.

"Your evil."

He said to the taller man. Reborn grinned at him.

"Thank you."

"Not a compliment."

Tsuna muttered, but Reborn heard it and this time smacked him upside the head for the remark.

"Ow! Reborn how do you expect me to pass anything with all this brain damage you're giving me?"

Tsuna whined, making Reborn snort.

"Yeah brain damage is the reason you failed that last test you took."

"How do you know about that?"

Tsuna asked appalled. They went back and forth arguing half heartedly like this all the way home. Once they got back Reborn forced Tsuna to his Spartan 'training', and then homework. Which Tsuna would never admit was harder than the training before. It wasn't until around eleven that Tsuna final went to sleep. And at that he considered it passing out. It was just too much stuff in one day to handle for him.

Reborn walked up the stairs after his many attempts of waking Tsuna by yelling for him to come down. The teen was just a deep sleeper and there was nothing Reborn could do but use drastic measures to awaken him. If it meant hauling an ice cold bucket of water up twelve stairs then so be it. He opened the door to what Tsuna called a room, and looked around the disaster sight. It made Reborn wonder if all teens were messy or if Tsuna was just a special Ed exception to cleaning. Sighing in disappointment Reborn decided to give his godson one last chance to get up.

"Tsuna time to get ready for school."

He whispered. The teen mumbled something that sounded like 'five more minutes' and Reborn shrugged. He had given him a chance. If Tsuna chose to ignore it, well then he was just going to have to pay the ultimate price.

Reborn hefted the bucket up and threw the contents all over Tsuna and his bed.

"Ah!"

Tsuna screamed as he was rudely awoken. Sitting up in his wet bed, and clothes Tsuna shivered and glared at the tall man.

"Re-r-reborn! What-tttt wa-s-s that ffffffff-or?"

He stuttered while shivering.

"Your going to be late for school."

Reborn said as he turned around and walked out of the room. Bucket swinging in his hand over his shoulder.

"Don't forget to get Hibari to come over after school!"

He yelled back to the teen who was now rushing to get ready.

"What? Why?"

Tsuna asked with a large amount of fear in his voice. He was buttoning up his shirt and following Reborn down the stairs. Having jumped out of his pajamas and into his dry uniform.

"I need him and his parents to sign the contract I drew up yesterday."

Tsuna slipped a bit on his pant leg he was still adjusting and smashed his face into Reborn's back.

"Ow."

He muttered as he straightened himself before Reborn could complain or drop him down the rest of the stairs.

"Alright."

Tsuna said while rubbing his nose.

"Good. See you later."

Reborn said as Tsuna finished his mad dash to get ready by throwing on his shoes and throwing the door open. The teen didn't even close it behind him as he took off down the street. In his haste he almost passed up Gokudera.

"Oh Tsuna!"

Gokudera exclaimed when the shorter teen blurred past him. Then Tsuna skidded to a stop and grinned back at Gokudera.

"Running late already Gokudera. We have to hurry or risk dealing with Hibari."

"Right!"

Gokudera agreed and both of them started to run to school.

A few blocks later Yamamoto was calmly walking to school when he spotted the two of them. Both of them were running, but it seemed Gokudera was just keeping pace with Tsuna. Yamamoto smiled and fell into step with them as they passed him.

"Good morning Tsuna, Gokudera."

He said cheerfully. Gokudera glared at him, and Tsuna returned the smile with one of his own.

"Morning."

Was his out of breath reply.

Now Tsuna ran and the other two kept in step with him. Both of them fully capable of running much faster, but neither really wanting to leave the shorter teen behind. They passed up Ryohei though. Who had been jogging for once instead of his full out run like usual. Kyoko was worried he was over working himself so he promised to take it a bit easy. That was until he was passed by three people on the way to school. Then he recognized one of them as Tsunayoshi Sawada. The one who had gone to dinner at his house the day before.

He hadn't known the younger teen was such an active person. Grinning to himself Ryohei sped up and easily caught up to the three other teens.

"Training to the extreme!"

He yelled out loudly. Receiving a shocked look from Tsuna, a glare from Gokudera, and a laugh from Yamamoto.

"Morning senpai!"

Yamamoto greeted him first. After a few seconds Tsuna found his brain again and smiled to the older teen.

"Good morning."

He said getting a huge grin from the older teen. Then he got a serious look on his face.

"Now to kick it up a notch and run to the extreme. Come one Sawada!"

He grabbed the smaller teen by the wrist and took off at full speed. Tsuna barely had time to let his feet touch the ground, and the other two were so shocked they sped up instinctively.

"Wait you Turf top!"

Gokudera yelled out. Concerned for the safety of his new friend. Yamamoto laughed again and kept up with Gokudera.

That was the first time Tsuna didn't have to worry about being bitten to death by Hibari in the morning. Cause he was not only on time to school. Tsuna and the other three teens were two minutes early.
