UNIVERSAL BONDS.


"Sawada! Wake up!"

The brown haired teenager jolted out with shock from the shout of his teacher. Saliva came out from his mouth, eyes half opened, with a confused and panic expression. Tsunayoshi Sawada rubbed his brown eyes with a shade of sepia.

A ruler—a metal one made solid contact with the brunette's head, causing the boy to flinch in pain; "Ow!" Tsuna yelped.

The teacher's eyes glared down at him, growling. "That's what you get for falling asleep in my class!" He snapped. "Pay attention, or else." He added. "You already have the worstgrades in this grade, I won't tolerate any student under my guidance to drop out!"

Rubbing where the ruler hit his poor head, Tsuna nodded as he sighed. "I understand.."

"Answer this question, Sawada." The teacher raised his head in a mocking manner.

While Tsuna was looking at the blackboard, contemplating on his answer, he failed to realize that Gokudera Hayato—his self proclaimed right hand man was giving him signals about the answer to the question. Of course, Gokudera was trying to help his boss.

To tell you the truth, both Tsuna and Gokudera are in the mafia. Tsuna as the Vongola Decimo, for as one day he got a tutor who is apparently a baby yet a hitman as well. The baby—Reborn asked (read: forced) Tsuna to be the Vongola Tenth, because Tsuna's the Ninth's remaining candidate for Vongola Tenth. After that day, Tsuna's normal life was not normal indeed. As the boss, he has Sky flame—the rarest flames of them all.

Gokudera Hayato, now Tsuna's self proclaimed right hand man, was known as the Hurricane Bomb, because he carries many bombs. He went to Japan to test is Tsuna is capable of being the Vongola Tenth, in the end, Gokudera got his life saved by the brunette, causing Gokudera to approve and respect Tsuna. He has the Storm flame, making him the Storm Guardian, but he also has the Rain, Lighting, Sun, and Cloud flames due to System C. A. I.

"Um.. Six?" Tsuna guessed, later receiving a whack from the teacher again.

The teacher clicked his tongue, glancing at Yamamoto who was grinning. "Then, Yamamoto. You answer this."

Yamamoto broke off his grin. Yamamoto is also one of Tsuna's closest friends, he respects and cares about the brunette. When he felt his baseball abilities getting down, he trained and trained resulting his arm to break. Feeling that there was nothing left, Yamamoto had decided to jump from the roof to end his life. Tsuna, however, stopped him from doing so. Tsuna had saved him from ending his life, after that they became great friends. He has the Rain flame, making him a Rain Guardian.

The black haired boy laughed, "Uh, five?"

"... Correct." The teacher growled.

Tsuna looked at his friend, smiling. Yamamoto does have a good guessing ability.. I'm envious. Tsuna sighed.

"Well, Yamamoto is a born hitman after all." Said a squeaky familiar voice which Tsuna immediately paled and looked to the source.

"Reborn!" Tsuna whispered, in a state of shock.

"Ciaossu." Reborn greeted. This baby is Tsuna's tutor—the hitman. The sadistic, world's strongest hitman. He was once one of the Arcobaleno, but because of Tsuna, the curse was lifted. So he can grow like a normal person would.

"Where did you come from?!"

In response, Reborn merely smirked. "Don't underestimate me, of course I have my hiding places. Now, Tsuna. The bell is going to ring later, Ciao!"

The brunette looked at the space where his tutor was in, and sighed deeply. "Damn that Reborn.."

The bell rang.


"Tsuna, let's go home together!" Yamamoto put his hand on the brunette's shoulder. Grinning, he added. "It's been a while since we walked together to home!"

Tsuna glanced at Gokudera, "Sure!" He agreed. "Gokudera-kun, are you coming?"

"OF COURSE!" an immediate response from the bomber. "As the Tenth's right hand man.. I will accompany you everywhere!" Gokudera energetically yelled.

"So.. Let's go home!"

"Wait for a minute, Sawada!" An upperclassmen called with his loud voice. "I have something to tell you, to the EXTREME!" Ryohei Sasagawa, the bearer of the Sun Vongola Ring. Nothing special about his bond with Tsuna, only Ryohei respecting Tsuna and asking frequently for Tsuna to join the boxing team as he acknowledged his strength.

Gokudera glared at him, "What do you want, lawn head?!"

"What did you say, octopus head?!" Ryohei yelled back.

Yamamoto sweatdroped, calming them down. "Maa ma, both of you, calm down.. Senpai, what do you want to talk about?" He asked.

".. Oh that! Yeah.."

"Don't tell me you forgot!" The silverette shouted.

"I did not! Sawada, here!" Ryohei pulled out a jacket, white and orange with '27' on the pocket. "Kyoko told me to give you this! She can't come to school today because she's sick!"

Tsuna accepted the jacket as he blushed. "T-thank you, Onii-San.. Tell Kyoko-chan my regards, and I hope she gets well soon."

"Sure!"

"Herbivores... Why are you causing such ruckus when school time is over?" A jet black haired teenage boy leaned on the door. His steel grey eyes glaring at them, hands reaching for his tonfa.

Hibari Kyoya is the Disclipinary Committe of the school, he loves his school more than anything. He considers everyone besides him, except for people who he respects/acknowledges as a herbivore. Hibari dislikes crowds, and doesn't like it when people damages the school. He has the Cloud flame, making him as a Cloud guardian of Tsuna's family.

Tsuna shrieked in fear, he never can get the fear of Hibari. "H-Hibari-San!"

"I'll bite you to death, herbivores."

As on cue, Reborn appeared. "Ciaossu, Hibari."

Hibari smirked. "Infant, fight with me."

Reborn smirked. "Another time, maybe. Dame-Tsuna, let's leave."

"Y-yes!"

There are times when Tsuna is glad when Reborn is his tutor.


The trio were chatting happily—Yamamoto with his side argument with Gokudera, Tsuna calming Gokudera down..

"Boss." Chrome greeted shyly in front of him. "Good evening." She bowed her head. "Storm-san, Rain-san too."

Chrome Dokuro is the Mist guardian of the family. Her organs were made from illusions because she had an accident, and her parents neglected her by saying she's worthless. Mukuro had saved her, and introduced her to the mafia. Speaking of Mukuro..

"Kufufu, why isn't this a pleasant surprise? Meeting the Vongola when we're shopping.. Quite inconvenient indeed." Mukuro chuckled, twitching his eyes.

Mukuro is the Mist guardian of the family as well. He was experimented by the Estraneo Family, causing him to have the Six Paths of Hell on his eye. Because of that, he hated the mafia ever since. Chikusa and Ken were the same as him—both of them are Mukuro's loyal lackeys.

"Why you pineapple bastard!" Gokudera retorted.

"It would be wise if you do not insult me, Gokudera Hayato.." Mukuro threatened.

Yamamoto laughed, "Shopping, huh? That's nice!" He grinned. "Oh! It's this late already, I have to go now, bye Tsuna!"

Tsuna blinked, and nodded. "Y-yeah.. See you tomorrow, Yamamoto."

"Then, we'll take our leave here. Come, my dear Chrome."

Chrome nodded. "Bye.. Boss."

Tsuna smiled warmly. "Make sure you eat properly. Bye Chrome, you too, Mukuro."


As Tsuna finally arrived at his home, Gokudera said his goodbyes and went to his own home. "I'm home." He said while putting his shoes at the shelves.

"Tsu-kun, welcome home! Dinner is ready!" His mother, Nana Sawada cheerfully informed.

Tsuna went to his room, saying that he'll eat dinner later. He collapsed to his bed sooner or later, groaning. Stretching his arms, he sighed. "For some reason.. I really have a bad feeling." He mumbled.

"Oh well." His eyes closed, falling into a deep slumber.


"—otto!"

"—iotto! "

"GIOTTO!"

Tsuna fluttered his eyes to open, waking up from the shouts of the people beside him. Tired.. what happened? He thought. Oh yeah.. I was at my bed and slept.. AH! What about mom?! School?! What time is it now?! Panicking, he sat up, flinching. What..

"Thank goodness you're awake.." A man with red—almost pink hair said with relief. "Damn it, you made me worried sick!"

I-Italian? Tsuna twitched.

"Don't move too much, you're still injured, Giotto." Then, a man with black hair, dressed in Japanese clothing said.

Tsuna hold his stomach, flinching. Ow..! I don't remember being shoot..

"Herbivore, you're quiet." A man with platinum blonde hair said, blinking as he leaned on the wall.

Wait.. Tsuna knew who are these people!

Don't tell me... The brunette paled, seeing his reflection. W-why do I look like Giotto-san? Sure that I do have some resemblances to him but.. I DON'T HAVE BLONDE HAIR AND SKY BLUE EYES! Then he glanced to the people in front of him, looking at him with concerned eyes.

THEY ARE VONGOLA PRIMO'S GUARDIANS!

..

..

..

Tsuna screamed.

"HIIIEEE!"

Seconds later, he passed out.
