Author's Note: Minako is finally fed up with Tsuna cutting in every time she tries to do her job…
Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
I start to run towards area of the most recent dojo that was attacked by the dojo-breakers and find Kyoko and Haru apologizing to two kids. "Kyoko-chan, Haru-chan, can you tell me which way the dojo-breakers went?" I say. You see, Onii-san has been making me chase down the people disturbing the peace recently. I can tell you this- Tsuna got all of them. I should just let him do everything from now on.
"I'm ashamed," says Haru.
"They went that way," says Kyoko. "I can't forgive them."
I look further down in the direction that that Kyoko said they went towards. "It seems that they're no longer around," I reply. I cross my arms and I almost scowl.
"Leave it to me," says the baby, appearing out of nowhere.
Kyoko shouts, "Reborn-kun!"
"Hm, it's you," I say. "I sure hope this will be intriguing."
I walk towards the classroom and place my hand on the door, but then I stop. "There seem to be dojo-breakers appearing in Namimori!" exclaims Sasagawa from inside the classroom.
"Dojo-breakers?" asks Tsuna, also from inside.
I open the door. "Sasagawa-senpai, I must ask that you lower your voice or return to your classroom," I demand.
I get ignored completely. "In that case, I'm counting on you," says Sasagawa as he places his hand on Tsuna's shoulder.
"W-Why me?" asks Tsuna.
Sasagawa's voice raises again as he exclaims, "Because you are a member of the boxing club!"
"No, I'm not!" exclaims Tsuna
Sasagawa turns around and declares, "Think about it, Sawada. The duty of protecting the peace in the region lands upon all men." Yeah sure, "men" protect the peace. I don't see any around right now.
"T-That's correct theoretically, but…" mutters Tsuna.
"And you will realize the greatness of boxing when your raise your fist for the sake of justice!" continues Sasagawa.
"So, it's all about boxing…" mutters Tsuna.
"We'll accept that!" says the baby's voice. He appears on the chalk board and I raise my right eyebrow. I wonder how he managed to do that without Onii-san catching him.
"Reborn! Don't I always tell you no to come to school?" asks Tsuna.
The baby ignores Tsuna and replies to Sasagawa, "Tsuna's going to beat up the dojo-breakers, so don't worry."
"Yeah!" agrees Sasagawa.
"Don't decide without me!" exclaims Tsuna
The baby replies, "It's the mafia's duty to protect the safety of the residents of this area," explains the baby.
"I told you! I'm not a mafioso! Jeez!" exclaims Tsuna. I continue to listen in as Tsuna starts to slowly sort of agree.
"Tsuna-kun, if I'm asking too much, feel free to say so," says Kyoko.
"That's not it at all!" replies Tsuna, waving his hands around frantically.
Sasagawa says happily, "So, you will accept!"
"Well…" Tsuna starts to protest.
"Way to go, Tenth!" exclaims Gokudera.
"Huh?"
"Do your best, Tsuna!" says Yamamoto.
"Huh?!" exclaims Tsuna.
I cross my arms and say, "Since the baby is involved, I won't waste my time trying. I'll leave it to you then, Tsuna-kun. If you don't succeed, then I'll jump in."
He exclaims, "Huh?! Minako-chan too?!"
"So, we'll start your training afterschool, in the park," says the baby.
"What? Training again?!" shouts Tsuna.
The baby turns to me. "Minako, could you wait for Tsuna to just take care of them?"
"Oh?" I ask. "What will I tell Onii-san though? He won't be pleased."
The baby smiles. "Don't worry, just tell him that…"
As I give Onii-san dinner, he asks, "Minako, did you take care of the dojo-breakers yet?"
I shake my head. "I'm sorry, Onii-san, but the baby asked that I wait patiently as Tsuna-kun takes care of it. I don't quite understand why, but he said that if Tsuna-kun fails, then he'll fight you."
"Oh? Then, allow it to continue this way," he replies.
I nod. "Understood."
I hold onto my naginata a bit too tightly as I stand away from the crowd. "Why I'm I here?" I ask.
"An example. If you'd like, Minako, you can go alone," says the baby. I nod. "Unless you come at me with all your might, I can't guarantee your lives," he warns.
"Here I go, Reborn-san!" exclaims Gokudera as he, Yamamoto, and Sasagawa as they prepare to attack the baby.
"Here I go," says the baby. I watch the baby carefully as he prepares to attack them. I visible fighting spirit appears around the baby.
"What a fierce fighting spirit!" exclaims Sasagawa.
"Are you serious?" asks Yamamoto.
"Now's your chance to surrender!" says the baby.
"This is…" mutters Gokudera.
The baby smirks. "Zettai-Maken!" exclaims the baby. A mammoth appears.
"I-I don't believe it!"
"You've got to be kidding!"
They all end up on the floor. "W-We give in!" declares Gokudera.
"Wow! Those three couldn't even lift a finger!" exclaims Tsuna. The baby chuckles in response. "What happens next?" asks Tsuna.
"What?" asks the baby.
Tsuna continues, "That was amazing and all, but you have some sort of technique to defeat the enemy, right?"
"That was it."
"Huh?"
"Zettai-Maken is a style that, using your tremendous fighting spirit, forces your opponent to admit defeat before the fight. Zettai-Maken will never loose," replies the baby.
"Is that a pun?!" exclaim Tsuna.
"In other words, it's a bluff?" asks Gokudera.
"Don't be stupid, winning without fighting is a great tactic," replies the baby.
"Then, what do you do if your opponent doesn't get scared?" asks Tsuna.
The baby replies bluntly, "Who knows?"
"'Who knows'?!" exclaims Tsuna.
"Don't babble. Just do it," replies the baby. "Your opponents are here after a "Opponents?" asks Tsuna.
Right on cue, a male's voice shouts, "Sawada, Tsunayoshi! Where are you?!" Three muscular males appear on the staircase.
Tsuna turns around and exclaims, "W-Why?"
"Are you Sawada?" asks the male is the center. Tsuna shakes his head frantically.
"That's right. He's Tsuna," says the baby.
Tsuna shouts in protest, "R-Reborn!"
The dojo-breaker pulls out a slip of paper and says, "A challenge? You've got guts."
Tsuna looks pretty lost as he asks, "A challenge?"
"So, it did arrive," comments the baby. Wow, so this was his plan. Can Tsuna really beat these guys though?
"This is your doing?!" exclaims Tsuna. Then he asks, "What do I do?"
"Hey, brat! How dare you insult us!" exclaims the male in the center.
Another one declares, "We're going to beat you to a pulp!"
Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Sasagawa walk closer to Tsuna. "Um… well…." Tsuna starts to tremble.
"Tsuna-kun!" exclaims Kyoko as she and another large group of people run over. My right eye starts to twitch a little and I shift further away.
"Kyoko-chan, why?" asks Tsuna.
The baby replies, "If we're going to do it, I thought it'd be more exciting with an audience.
"You!" shouts Tsuna.
The male with a chain around his neck cracks his knuckles as he says, "Now, let's get it started."
"Do your best, Tsuna-kun!" shouts Kyoko.
"Fight!" exclaims Haru.
One of the younger boys in the group shouts, "Do your best, Onii-chan!"
"Beat up those dojo-breakers!" exclaims the other.
"T-That's…" starts Tsuna.
The baby says encouragingly, "Don't be afraid now. You have Zettai-Maken."
"B-But…" Tsuna replies.
"It's all in your spirit! Clash against them while convincing yourself that you won't lose!" Then the baby kicks Tsuna closer to the dojo-breakers. The dojo-breakers look amused as they hold their fists up.
Suddenly, a visible fighting spirit starts to surround Tsuna. The dojo-breakers look a bit hesitant now. "A strong guy… A strong guy…The person I think is the strongest in the world is…" mutters Tsuna. Suddenly, the fighting spirit gets larger and Tsuna shouts, "Zettai-Maken!"
"What?!" the dojo-breakers exclaim. I pathetic looking thing of smoke that looks like the baby hits the dojo-breaker and, evidently, does no damage at all.
"What was that?" asks one of the dojo-breakers.
The dojo-breakers seem even more irritated now. "What do you think you're doing?!"
"We won't be tricked by that!"
"Tenth!" exclaims Gokudera.
"Did he fail?" asks Yamamoto.
I pull out my cell phone and ask, "Should I prepare an ambulance for him?"
"Zettai-Maken doesn't work if you believe you might lose, even if it's just a little," explains the baby after jumping onto Yamamoto's shoulder.
"We won't go easy on you!" shout the dojo-breakers as they charge at Tsuna.
Gokudera and Yamamoto pull out their weapons. "Now we'll just have to-" starts Gokudera, but he pauses as Kyoko and Haru step in front of Tsuna.
"We won't lose!" declares Kyoko.
"We'll do it too!" exclaims Haru.
Tsuna replies, "You can't!"
Then one of the kids that live with Tsuna exclaims happily, "It seems like fun!"
Kyoko shouts, "Lambo-kun! It's dangerous!"
The kid lands on one of the dojo-breakers and says, "Let me in, too! Let me in!"
The dojo-breaker looks a bit uncomfortable. "What's with this kid?" Then the kid farts in his face.
"There it goes!" exclaims the kid.
"Stay out of this, you stupid brat!" shouts the dojo-breaker as he throws the kid. A purple bazooka is fired and suddenly, the kids are replaced by an older looking male and an older looking female.
"My, my, I was in the middle of cleaning the toilet," says the older looking male.
The female doesn't look up and continues to study. "The equation to find the volume of a sphere is…"
"Adult Lambo! Adult I-Pin!" exclaims Tsuna.
"That's…" starts Sasagawa.
"Those useless guys popped out again," comments Gokudera.
I look at them blankly. "What happened?"
The male that randomly appeared steps in front of Tsuna and says, "Young Vongola, it seems that you need some help."
"Well…" starts Tsuna.
The male replies, "Leave it to me."
The dojo-breakers seem to be confused as well. "Who the hell are you?"
The male puts on a set of cow horns. "There's no need to name myself. When these horns twinkle again, your lives are-" The dojo-breaker knocks him out with a punch.
"Shut up!" exclaims the dojo-breaker.
"He's way too weak…" mutters Tsuna.
One of the dojo-breakers walks up the female that appeared randomly. "Hey, there's a hot little girlie here." He reaches for her, but she blocks without even paying attention.
She continues to study. "The area of a triangle is…" She starts to beat him up while shouting, "Base times height, divided by two!"
"Way to go Adult I-Pin!" exclaims Tsuna.
"Amazing!" exclaims Kyoko.
I smile a little. "I wouldn't mind fighting this person."
The remaining dojo-breakers charge at her and shout, "What was that?!"
She dodges easily. "The Earth orbits around the sun in roughly 365 days!" She knocks out yet another dojo-breaker and jumps up. Then she grabs the remaining dojo-breaker's head and turns it almost 180 degrees. "This is called a revolution!" The dojo-breaker collapses.
"That forehead girl is good!" exclaims Sasagawa.
She lets out a sigh. "This is so hard."
"Thank you, Adult I-Pin!" exclaims Tsuna.
"Oh! Sawada-san! Where am I?" she asks.
"She didn't notice?" asks Tsuna.
"I need to go home and study for my exams!" she exclaims. Then she runs off.
"Who was that?" asks Kyoko.
Haru replies, "You have to admire her strength." I look around blankly. So… does that count as Tsuna's win?
Onii-san looks at me with a strange look as I pass him the steak. "Hm? Is something wrong, Onii-san?" I ask.
"What are you trying to hide?" he asks. Shoot, busted…
"Well…I was unable to do anything again, since Tsuna-kun took care of everything…again. So, you don't get to fight the baby," I reply
"Hn…" he says, looking slightly annoyed. He takes a bite of the steak. "Just go make some more steak. Tomorrow, I'll take over again," he says.
I smile. "Okay." Ahh, finally… It's actually kind of depressing watching Tsuna do everything.
