Chapter : It's gotta be me!

"Listen here you people!" Gokudera slam his hand to the table and glaring at the people sitting around the table. "I'm Jyuudaime's right hand man! So it's obvious that the spot is for me!"

From his left, Yamamoto laughing at the storm guardian's with his usual carefree face, "Maa…maa…calm down Hayato. But don't forget that he call me his 'best friend'. So isn't that make me the one suited for the job?"

Gokudera turn to the swordsman and glaring death at him, "No one decide that!"

"Yare yare…" to their surprise Lambo stand from his seat and cross his arm in front of his chest. "I'm Tsuna-nii's brother, so of course it's got to be me."

"Um….Lambo, I'm his brother too you know," Fuuta say from the seat beside him.

Lambo rolled his eyes at him, "Well, we could take turn?"

"Like hell that could be done you stupid cow!"

"Oooii! He's my brother too! And I'm older! Then it's EXTREMELY going to be me!" Ryouhei suddenly shouted with excited face.

"NO YOU'RE NOT YOU STUPID BOXER!"

"WHAT'S THAT?! DON'T CALL ME THAT YOU TAKO-HEAD!"

Yamamoto was about to stand and calm the two loud guardians before they started fighting physically, but a pair of tonfa beat him to it. The rest of them turn to the other side of the table and staring at the cloud guardian that have stood up before throwing his weapons.

"You're too loud," Hibari say while glaring coldly at them.

"Ahahahaha…I was about to told them that," Yamamoto say with cold sweat.

Hibari turn to Gokudera and Ryouhei who have stood up again while rubbing their nose. "None of you is qualified for the job. I'll be the one to do it."

All of them staring widely at the cloud's words, with him not even flinch about it.

"WHAT?! YOU TOO?!" shout Gokudera.

Hibari twitched at Gokudera's loud voice, and about to punish him again when Mukuro open his mouth.

"Oya oya…I don't think so Kyoya-kun."

Mukuro looking at Hibari from the corner of his eyes, and saw him glaring back at him. Definitely not happy.

"Do you forgot I have beaten you once? Then I'm stronger than you for the job."

"You cheated. That didn't count," Hibari say with cold voice.

"Kufufufu…say whatever you want Skylark-kun. That still the fact."

"If it's about strength, then it should be me right?"

All of them turn to the source of the new voice, and found the former sun arcobaleno sipping his coffee calmly without none of them even saw him coming.

"Re-Reborn-san! You too?!" Gokudera looked shock at the new coming competitor.

"Hahahaha, this is troubling…" Yamamoto rubbing the back of his head with nervous face.

Lambo sit back in his seat and could only pouted at Reborn. Not dare to say anything anymore.

Reborn smiling smugly at them as he put his cup in the table and saw their defeated face, "No more complain right?"

"…baby…" Hibari could only glaring at him. He wanted to retort, but he have to acknowledge that even after all this year he haven't been able to beat the now almost teen hitman.

"Bu-but Reborn-san!"

"Kid, can't you just pass on this one?"

"Yare yare….I want to be the one…"

"This is extremely confusing!"

"Hah…can't we just decide this fairly?"

"Kufufufu…seems like no one willing to give this up."

They have just started arguing around for the second time when the door suddenly burst open, and a new figure walking in with his usual smiling face.

"Oi! What the hell are you doing here!?" Gokudera shout at the new person.

Byakuran just smiling at the Vongola people in front of him, but a hint of mischievousness could be seen in his eyes. "I just want to say that the spot is for me~!"

All of them stood up from his proclamation and started bombarding him with complain. But Byakuran just stood there calmly as he watch them shouting at him.

"Calm down there~ If you guys have any complain, I'll spread this around~"

Byakuran pulling out a stack of photos, and all of them feel dread in their neck without the need to see every pictures that the Gesso boss have in his hand. They all already have the knowledge of what the pictures gonna be.

"YOU'RE STILL DOING THAT?!"

"Oh, and yours is included Reborn-chan~"

And that did it. All hell break loose at the war declaration, and chaos exploded in the Decimo's room.

Outside the 'war', Tsuna have been seated in his seat in the far end of the room all along, with Kyoko standing behind him. They have been there to watch the scene unfold, and now Tsuna face palming himself at the scene in front of him while Kyoko just laughing at them.

"Can't they just decide who's gonna be my best man by janken like how the girls decide yours?"
