UNIVERSAL BONDS.

"What the hell?" The blond immediately reacted after looking at the mirror. Brown hair, brown eyes. He couldn't believe this. What just happened? Surely, he didn't hit his head or something. He clearly remembered that he was on a battle field with the Calesse Family, and then got shot.. and he had blonde hair and blue sky eyes.

This is.. a dream! Yes, a dream! Giotto thought, calming himself down.

"—Tsuna? Oi, Tsuna?"

I'll just wake up soon.. then..

"Tenth?"

... Giotto froze. Tenth. ".. I'm sorry, what did you say?"

The silver haired teenager raised his eyebrow at him, "What do you mean, Tenth?"

Tenth.

Tenth.

Giotto didn't understand it.

When he was thinking, ignoring the calls from the two teenagers, he suddenly received a blow on his head. His head stung out of pain. Blue eyes looked at the culprit, preparing for a blow if he need to. But what shocked him the most was the figure of the culprit.

A baby.

Another 'what the hell' situation.

"Dame-Tsuna." The baby said. Giotto twitched, and looked confusedly at the baby wearing fedora.

Wait. Is that a gun on his hand?!

Moreover.. when that baby hit him, he felt pain.

Meaning, this is not a dream.

"—Are you even listening to me?" Giotto snapped back to reality, barely dodging the kick from the baby. He didn't know who is this baby, or who are those two teenagers, but what all matter now is for him to play along, than causing a ruckus.

Giotto played along, "S-sorry, I didn't.." He squeaked. Maybe this is good enough? "Care to repeat it again?" He just hope that this doesn't rise the baby's anger.

The baby scoffed. "Helpless, it can't be helped." He sighed, tapping his hat. "Because you've had enough holiday for now.. " The smirk from the baby caused Giotto to twitch, and had his suspicion. "I'm afraid your skills gotten numb. So we're going to train at Italy, Vongola HQ."

His blue eyes widened. "Vongola... HQ?"

"That's a great idea, Reborn-san!" The silver haired teenager said. "I agree with it!"

"Ahaha! I'll just go along with it, it seems fun!" The other teenager said.

Giotto was beyond confused right now, his Hyper Intuition says that it's not good.

Meanwhile, the baby-Reborn nodded. "Good, Yamamoto and Gokudera agreed to it. So, pack up your things. We're going to depart tomorrow."

"What do .. you mean by that?" Giotto asked.

"Why, Tenth! Of course, Reborn-san is concerned if your skills had gotten numb! This is a chance for us to train to be stronger as well, to be your guardians. "

Guardians?! Giotto voiced his thought.

His emerald eyes blinked. "Tenth, are you still against by you being the tenth boss of the Vongola?"

.. WHAT-

"Stop slacking around, Dame-Tsuna." Giotto got kicked by the head once again.

27~

Tsuna can't comprehend how he feel currently. He was confused, shocked, panicked, stressed, tense. All the feelings came out together, and he had passed out.

When he finally woke up again, those feelings came again.

"Giotto, are you really okay? You passed out.." The priest—whom Tsuna recognized as Knuckle said concernedly.

"Nufufu, Giotto, are you that weak already?" Daemon Spade—one of Tsuna's feared person (because of past experiences with the Shimon Family.)

"Oi, Giotto! Respond to us!" G shouted, but Tsuna could hear the concern in his voice.

Asari patted Tsuna's – or Giotto's ? – back lightly. "Giotto. We were worried, so can you respond to us? How do you feel?"

"Giotto.." Lampo cried. "Don't make me worry more, please."

"Herbivore." Alaude snapped. His ice blue eyes narrowed at the blonde, clearly irritated. "Speak something."

He knows what are they saying, even though it's Italian.

Well, Reborn taught him the language.. with the help of Gokudera.

Tsuna shivered, remembering the countless tortures Reborn gave him.

But Tsuna still cannot believe this. Why is he in Primo's body?

It seems that the guardians didn't know either, should he tell the truth?

What was he thinking? Telling them the truth, thinking it would go well? Like; "Oh, hello there! I'm not Giotto, but the Vongola Decimo from the future—about 400 years later! My name is Tsunayoshi Sawada!" And everyone would accept that fact, then help him go back to the future?

...

Hell no.

Either they would prison him, or torture him and interrogate him. For the torture part, he'd guessed it would be Alaude or Daemon who would do that.

NO!

He had enough of Hibari's countless sparring and Mukuro's harassment.

The only option left to him (which he thinks as the safe method) is to play along, act like Giotto. He would figure out how to go back to the future. It passed 5 minutes already, and besides. He did not recall being hit by the bazooka. Shoichi, Giannini, and Spanner didn't built a bazooka to make him to go the past 400 years ago too.

He need to calm down, and think about it. The past didn't have that kind of weapon yet.

"Giotto!" G's voice snapped him from his thinking. "Can you speak?"

Tsuna blinked his eyes—Giotto's eyes. "... Of course I can." Smiling, he apologized. "I'm sorry for worrying all of you." That should do.

G sighed in relief. "God damn it, you made us worried!" He hit Tsuna's (Giotto's) head lightly. "But you still have to rest here. Don't you dare move an inch."

Asari chuckled, smiling. "It's good that you finally speak."

"Nufufu, after us calling you many times, and you only responded when G asked 'can you speak?' and the first word was 'of course I can'. " Daemon snickered. "Primo, you're one in a kind."

"Giotto, stop making us worried like that! Now, rest. May God be with you! Amen." He made a cross sign. As a priest, Knuckle believes in God.

Lampo slumped his shoulders. "Sleepy.." Tsuna sweat dropped as Knuckle carried him to his bed.

"Hn." Because of his dislike of crowds, and because his boss is awake, Alaude left the room and continued working alone in his office. Daemon also left.

"Giotto, tell us if you need something." G and Asari said on the same time. "We'll be in the next room."

Tsuna nodded, saying his thanks.

If I'm in Primo's body.. then would he be in my body?

He grimaced. "I need to go back soon..!" He would know the future!

Uh-huh, the question is; How, Tsuna?

~G

He just wanted to die.

This situation is confusing him. Why does the Gokudera boy keeps calling him Tenth? And that Reborn baby said he's a hitman, an Arcobaleno, and his tutor to become a great mafia boss. He's already a mafia boss, but wait, he's not in his body.

Who's body?

They keep saying that he's the next Vongola Decimo.

Which means the Tenth Vongola Boss.

And they keep calling him as 'Tsuna'

So let's just say that this 'Tsuna' is the next upcoming boss.

Giotto twitched. Does that mean I'm in the future? He shook his head. No, no, that's not possible.

"Tenth?" Gokudera addressed him again.

"Yes? Gokudera-kun." It's great that he didn't raise any suspicion.. but, what if he does something wrong?

Gokudera frowned. "Are you really okay, Tenth?"

Giotto nodded. "Yes, I'm completely alright. Don't worry about me."

Thank God for Asari for teaching him Japanese.

"Yamamoto-kun." Giotto called. "What are you bringing?"

The black haired teenager grinned childlishly, "What are you talking, Tsuna?" He said. "Of course, it's my sword!" Yamamoto replied. Giotto sweat dropped, a bat is a sword?

"I see.."

Yamamoto hardened his gaze at Giotto, narrowing his eyes. "By the way, Tsuna. What do you mean by.. 'Yamamoto-kun'?" Empathizing the word, -kun, Yamamoto continued, but with a completely different tone that before. "You usually don't call me that, just Yamamoto!"

Giotto froze. He already made a mistake!

"Er.." He contemplated. One mistake, and he'll die! He didn't know how this 'Tsuna' act, and how he fight. "Sorry."

"..." Yamamoto was silent at first, but finally decided to shrug it off to Giotto's relief. "Maybe you're just tired!"

Giotto nodded. "Maybe it is." As Yamamoto laughed lightly, Giotto chuckled.

However, Reborn who watched the scene, furrowed his eyebrows. "Suspicious.." He mumbled.

The next day, the day when they would depart for Italy.

They rode a taxi to go to the airport.

"Oi, Dame-Tsuna. "He called. "The plane is departing soon."

Ah yes, if I recall.. they said they'll go to Italy for training.

"We should hurry." Giotto said calmly.

That just raised the hitman's suspicion more.

After sitting on the plane, they sat there calmly. Talking with each other, Gokudera asked Reborn. "Reborn-san, are the others coming too?"

"Yes. Look, they are already in this plane." Reborn smirked. "This is the Vongola's private jet after all."

Jet? Plane? Giotto asked mentally.

"EXTREME!" A shout from behind shocked them all, except for Reborn who smirked devilishly.

"Hn." A bored voice said.

"Kufufu~" A weird laughter, which Giotto immediately thought of his mist guardian, Daemon.

".. Italy." A feminine voice said—with a shy quite tone.

"Lambo-san is.. sick."

"Look, they're here." Reborn said.

Giotto looked behind, widening his eyes.

A youth with short silver—almost grey hair and grey eyes, the one who shouted just now, had a bandage on his nose. Knuckle?!

Then, a boy with short black hair, with a fringe that joins at the center of his face, and parts to the sides, leaving a short of, "M," shape. He has sharp, grey eyes. Alaude?

A teenager boy with blue hair in a so-called pineapple style. His left eye is blue and his right eye is red, with the kanji 6. Daemon?

The girl, as Giotto saw.. the only girl in the group, has a sweet and cute like face. Her hairstyle is like the Daemon-like boy, pineapple. Her right eye is patched with a black patch with skull, as her left eye shows the color of her eye—violet.

.. A child. A child with a black afro hair and green eyes, dressed in a cow suit. For some reason, Giotto sweat dropped and thought of Lampo, his lightning guardian.

Wait..

Gokudera, resembles G.

Yamamoto resembles Asari.

.. Come to think of it, he saw it on the mirror, this 'Tsuna' person also resembles him.

He groaned in frustration, more confused than ever. Maybe the possibility of him being in the future might be true.
