Chapter 11: Welcome to Italy
Tsuna was sitting on his suitcase while trying to zip the overstuffed bag; his petite body wasn't helping one bit. He pushed down with all his wieght, and successfully managed to glide the zipper along the rest of the suitcase. He cursed Reborn for making him bring unnesessary things such as a trigoloy to 'a dummies guide to controlling flames/flame spells/flame weapons(and more!),' along with Reborn's items. Tsuna never knew a person was allowed to carry so much weapons, where did Reborn get all of this stuff anyways?
"Done packing, Dame-Tsuna?" Reborn was sitting on his nightstand, eating his as well as Tsuna's breakfast.
Tsuna noticed a black mini-suitcase next to Reborn. "Why am I carrying your stuff if you have a suitcase there?" he demanded.
"The things in this suitcase are my essential items. The things in your suitcase are useless unloaded fake guns." Reborn informed.
"Why...did you make me cram them into my suitcase then, Reborn?" A vein throbbed on Tsuna's temple.
Reborn finished the last bites of his toast. "It's fun to watch."
"You...devil." Tsuna couldn't even put his tutor's evilness in words. He walked out of his room and descended downstairs hoping he could at least his breakfast in peace. "Kaa-san, is breakfast ready yet?" he called. Lambo and I-pin were already up, eating.
"It should be on the table, Tsu-kun!"
Tsuna looked where he normally sat; instead of a plate, Reborn sat licking his stubby fingers. "Reborn, where is my breakfast?" And how did you get downstairs so fast?
"Where do you think it went?"The corners of Reborn's lips curled into a cute kitty-smile as Tsuna gave a sigh of defeat. The doorbell rang and He jumped on Tsuna's shoulder, already knowing who it was. "Answer the door, Baka."
Tsuna obediently walked to the door, thinking it was probably one of his guardians. Surpisingly it was (Adult) Colonello and Ryohei. "Hey guys?" He was about to gesture them in, but they were already in, not waiting for approval. Well.
"HEY SAWADA." Ryohei was more jumpier than usual, if even possible.
"Here you go Reborn, Verde finished it last night." Colonello handed a small black case to Reborn.
"Not to be rude, but why are you here?" Tsuna asked, trying not to sound annoyed.
Reborn opened the black case and revealed cylinder vials that were filled with a green subtance and were placed in velvet; held down by straps. A small plague labeled the contents as 'aging potion, effects depend on the amount taken. Warning: Do not take more than one vial at a time.' "Did you bring my ferrari, Colonello?"
Colonello paled. "Maybe you should let me drive, hey."
Reborn frowned. "Nosense. It's my car." He slipped one of the vials out of the straps, and popped off the cork.
Tsuna watched as Reborn took a sip of the suspious liquid, maybe Tsuna had imagined it; but a flicker of revulsion flashed in Reborn's eyes for a split second. The next thing he knew, something heavy fell on him; making him yelp in surprise. He tried to sit back up, but it felt like Reborn had pinned him down with the 1-ton Leon hammer; he could literally feel his spine snapping. (maybe Reborn shouldn't have been on Tsuna's shoulder when he drank the aging potion) He turned his head around as far it could go, and saw a rather...seductive man sitting on his back looking down on him also, his lips curled into an amused smirk.
Ryohei had stopped shouting loud 'extremes' to gawk at the man sitting on his boss, while Colonello rolled his eyes, mumuring 'show off.'
"W-Who the hell are you? Get off me!" Tsuna tried to hide the blood rushing to his cheeks but failed miserably. The man sitting on him could've been the devil himself, he was drop-dead gorgeous. To make matters worse, he was staring at Tsuna like he was watching one of his favorite T.V shows.
"Geez, Dame-Tsuna I thought I taught you not to freak out like this." The man slowly got off Tsuna, brushing himself off and readjusting his fedora. "Verde could've at least improved the taste of the potion."
Tsuna's widened in desbelief and caught sight of the yellow pacifer secured arond his neck. "Reborn..."
"Is that one of your friends, Sawada?" Ryohei had snapped out of his gaze as well.
"Let's get going; grab that stupid cow on your way out. We're going to the airport." Reborn ignored the two and took the keys Colonello held out, walking outside to the ferrari parked in the front of the house. It was a glossy black, outlined with orange paint and neon lights. Colonello and Ryohei followed him, trying not to drool all over themselves.
Tsuna had gone inside to say bye to his mom and get Lambo, who was still stuffing his face with food. His stomach growled at the sight of it and he silently cursed Reborn for taking his breakfast. He walked into the kitchen where Nana was starting to clean up breakfast plates, humming. "Kaa-san, Rebo- my friend...is going to drive me and Lambo to the airport."
She turned around and gave him a soft concerned motherly smile. "I'm so proud of you Tsu-kun; you've become a man. You remind me of your father..." A her eyes glazed over for a few seconds, with a romantic look in them. Tsuna really wanted to tell his mother he didn't care for the bastard, but the way she'd always perk up when his name was heard, it made his heart feel good. Reborn had told him the night before that Iemitsu had a very long, painful story on why he killed Enma's parents, but wiether he believed that or not, it was up to him. Tsuna blushed as she embraced him, but then hugged her back, knowing he wouldn't be able to do this for a long time. "Love you, Tsu-kun."
"I love you too, Kaa-san." He whispered.
"Oh my, you're voice has gotten deeper!" She giggled, making him blush again.
"Kaa-san..." Once she let go of her embrace she waved as Tsuna walked into the other room, to inform Lambo, who burped while rubbing his satisfied tummy.
"Say excuse me when you burp!" I-pin scolded.
"Excuse you." Lambo stuck out his tounge.
"Lambo, it's time to go." Tsuna came up behind the two.
"Yay! Lambo-san gets to go on the big white flying thingy!" Lambo jumped into Tsuna's arms happily, but Tsuna sighed and explained they'd have to drive to the airport first. Of course Lambo didn't hear, he was too busy taunting I-pin.
"Be safe Lambo." I-pin blushed softly as she kissed Lambo's cheek.
"Eww Lambo-san has cooties!" Lambo blushed also, not knowing how to respond. Tsuna ruffled I-pin's braid and waved his farewell, heading out to the black and orange ferrari. He blushed as Reborn motioned him to sit in the front. He handed the whinning Lambo to Adult Colonello who was strangely quiet. Tsuna was puzzled by the way the ferrari's doors opened, instead of opening out they opened upwards; he sat in the passenger's seat and buckled his seatbelt, scooting as far away from Reborn as possible.
In the back seat, Colonello was nervously looking over at the sun guardian, who seemed unfazed by the while situation and was rolling down his window. If you ever wanted to hitchhike, never take a ride from Reborn, no matter how tempting it was. The Vongola boss, the thunder and sun guardian were about to find out why.
Reborn put the keys in the ignition and turned them, swtiching the car in reverse as he backed out of the driveway. He then switched the gear to drive and the car's tires screeched as Reborn sped down the road. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Tsuna grip the corners of his seat nervously, he looked in the rear view mirror and saw Ryohei had opened the window shouting a few 'Extremes' at passing by cars while Colonello was gripping onto Lambo nervously. Maybe I should drive more often, he thought as he ran a zoomed past a red light.
"Reborn you just ran a red light." Tsuna noted.
"And?" Reborn was texting on a green phone, not paying the slightest attention to the road.
You'll kill us all! Tsuna sweatdropped.
Reborn sent the message, and looked up swerving suddenly to the right, then to the left. "What the-" He was suddenly cut off by a silver corvette, who had not even bothered to turn the his turn signal on. The nerve of some people. A vien throbbed on his forehead as he rolled down his window.
"Watch it, ASSHOLE!" He snarled, loud enough for the person in the car in front of him to hear him. Surprisingly the person in front of them rolled down thier window all the way, and gave him the birdy. Reborn seethed, his aura was so powerful it enshrouded the whole car. "Hope you like visiting hell, bastard."
"What the-" The person in the corvette cried bullet holes cracked his back window, he squealed as he heard his tires blow and his car spun out of control. Lucky for the corvette driver, unluckily for Reborn, a cop behind the two had seen the road rage; he grabbed his radio and switched it to 'talk.'
"Sir, pull over immediately!" He called over the intercom, advancing towards the vehicle.
Reborn ignored the lower-class cop, going back to texting on the phone Leon had tranformed into.
Reborn, you're late. The plane will take off in twenty-five minutes.
I know. And stop writing everything out; u sound like an old person who doesn't know how to txt.
I am an old person who can't text, my subordinates are texting for me right now.
I'm on my way, Nono. And how do you know when the plane will take off? You're in Italy.
Hyper Intuition. It also tells me Tsunayoshi is having a fun time while you're driving.
I prefer calling your hyper intuition 'stalking.'
"Reborn watch out, Kora!" Colonello warned. Reborn looked up just in time to swerve out of the way of an oncoming truck. "Dumbass can't even tell on what side of the road to drive on."
"You're the one driving on the wrong side of the road!" Tsuna snapped. "And you have like three cops chasing us."
"Pretty lights..." Lambo stared out the back window at the sirens on top of the cop's cars.
"I've never been in a car chase! THIS IS EXTREME!" Ryohei yelled.
"My stomach." Colonello put his hand over his mouth.
"Try it and you'll be cleaning the vomit up with your headband." Reborn threatened.
"This is your last warning!" An intercom threatened. "Pull over your vehicle now!" Another one added.
"So. They think they can catch the world's greatest hitman?" Reborn's fedora shadowed his eyes.
"Reborn, please just pull over." Tsuna begged.
"Then we would miss or plane." Reborn noted, flooring the gas.
Gokudera was pacing impatiently back and forth, trying his best to ignore Yamamoto's babbling, Hibari and Mukuro fighting while Dino was tryinig to break the two up(failing miserably since his men were not present at the moment) and Chrome's sighs. Dino had his men drive them to the private Vongola airport, and it had been like this the whole trip. Gokudera was waiting for his boss, just wanting to get on the damned thing already. His eyes were pools that reflected dysphoria; before he had came here, he had visited his mother's grave and put brand new white roses on the tombstone. How it hurt so much to see her death marker, he always thought death was something parents told kids to scare them, something artifical. Since he didn't want his mother to think he had forgotten about her while he was gone, he had asked Shamal to replace the flowers every month or so. His thoughts were interupted by a ferrari that screeched, stopping inches away from the group.
"J-Juudiame? !" Gokudera gasped as people scrabbled drunkly out of the car like it was on fire, all holding thier stomachs and covering thier mouths.
"Wimps." A handsome man wearing a fedora climbed calmly out of the front seat. Gokudera knew the man looked familiar but just couldn't put his finger on it.
Everyone's eyes widened as the man's masucline features shifted into rather cute ones, and he slowly shrunk until he was his 'normal' infant acrobaleno self. "Looks like a sip only lasts thirty minutes." Reborn made a mental note to himself.
"A magic trick!" Ryohei exclaimed.
"Lets go, we're already late." Dino had finally broken up Hibari and Mukuro, who were feinting at one another, seeing if they could make the other flinch. The others agreed, letting the flight attendents take thier bags and they climbed up the jet bridge to thier flight. They were escorted into first class seats and thier luggage was piled on selves above the seats. Hibari sat near a window in the back isolated from the rest of the group growling at Dino who attempted to approach him, while Colonello sat next to Reborn, Yamamoto managed to convince Gokudera to convince him(Don't ask how..), Chrome and Mukuro sat all the way in the front, while Ryohei sat with Lambo in the middle; Dino sat two seats away from Hibari, which was the closest he was ever going to get to him without getten bitten to death. Tsuna also sat next to a window, not really wanting to be near anyone at the moment.
"Is this all?" A flight attendant asked.
"One more." Reborn said, making everyone turn thier heads in question.
"S-Sorry I'm late..." A tedious voice made everyone looked to the door of the first class seat, a small teen with long choppy layered vermilion colored hair, droopy scarlet pupils, and a timid face that was mostly covered in bandages was holding a bright red suitcase, panting. "Adelheid wouldn't s-stop bothering me about my toothbrush."
"Enma?" Tsuna didn't really want to be rude and ask but-
"Why's he here, Kora?" questioned Colonello.
"To teach Tsuna everything he knows about the 'sin.'" Reborn explained.
"Isn't that your job?" Tsuna was snide about Reborn not knowing about a subject for once, unconsciously outlining the edge of his collar as he spoke.
Reborn transformed Leon in to a gun, examining it threateningly as he spoke. "Dame-Tsuna. If I taught you how to control it you'd be too sore at the end of the session to try anything."
"Please fasten your seatbelts; we are about to take off. The bathroom is down the hall three doors to the left; any time you want food just ring the nearest bell located to you. This flight will last about twelve to thirteen hours. Any questions?" The flight attendant finished.
Enma sat next to Tsuna, who gave him a friendly smile. "D-Did Reborn teach you Italian?" Tsuna nodded, telling him he had only taught him the basics, the converstion dragged on along with the hours that passed by, time dimmed the sky slowly. The plane took off the runway, it's course set for Italy; the conversation was ended as Enma noticed Tsuna nodding off while he was talking, Tsuna's eyes drooped and he fell on Enma's shoulder, mummbling how good Italian food tasted; Enma smiled.
Tsuna was soon snoring softly, fast asleep on Enma's shoulder; Enma rested his head on Tsuna's, falling into unconsciousness along with him.
Reborn rolled his eyes at the sight of Enma and Tsuna who had been cuddling ever since they had gotten on the plane, they had woken up for dinner last night, but that was about it. They would be landing in about an hour; though they weren't the only ones sleeping, Chrome had rested on Mukuro, Dino was secertly filming Hibari while he was sleeping, annoucing he would use it to prove Hibari was not all evil, Yamamoto using the restroom, Lambo would not stop bugging the flight attendants to give him more grape juice, turned out Colonello(who was also back to his infant form) has motion sickness and is trying not to throw up outside the bathroom, waiting for Yamamoto to get out(who was taking a bit too long) and Ryohei, well, he's just being his normal self.
They'd be escorted to a Vongola mansion once they reached the airport, which would be around 10:00am, where they would eat and get ready for school, which started at noon. Reborn tiled the fedora over his eyes, shadowing them so he could sleep another hour before dealing with his student and guardians.
Darkness surrounded a small redhead; the only other color he saw besides black was red; and alot of it. It stained the walls, floors, and worse; the bodies of his loved ones. Only the boy's younger sister was alive, though just barley. She screamed his name over and over again, tears mixed with blood ran down her cheeks, her breathing jagged, she mouthed words that would change the boy's life forever. He stared at her in disbelief and fear, hyperventilating he crawled away from her, cold sweat trickling down his face. The thought of death scared him out of his mind; but here he was staring at the half-dead body of his only sibbling left.
"B-Brother En-Enma-" She rasped out one more time before collasping on the floor.
"M-Mami!" He screamed into the darkness, that only mocked him by echoing him. "MAMI!"
Enma bolted awake with ragged breathing, everyone around him was peacefully sleeping. "J-Just a dream." He assured himself, wiping the cold sweat off his forhead breaking the silence.
"Yea..."
Enma jumped, forgeting Tsuna had been sleeping right next to him. Luckily, he was just sleep-talking about Italian biscuits. His best friend's face looked so peaceful Enma couldn't help but feel a slight twinge if jealousy and for some reason, he felt anger creep into his chest. Enma glanced up as he saw someone enter the room, but it was only a flight attendant. "Y-Yes?"
"Oh thank God someone's awake, didn't want to disturb any of you.." The flight attendant bowed.
"What is it?" Enma asked, looking around to see if anyone had woken up yet, they hadn't.
"The plane has already began descending, we will land in about ten minutes. Please inform your friends." She formally bowed again, though Enma showed no sign of it, he felt slightly annoyed for getting treated so formally. She exited, leaving Enma alone with the sleeping Vongola family. (Along with Dino and Colonello) He looked back over at Tsuna who was still mumbling, Enma pulled down Tsuna's coat collar slightly, revealing his choker-like 'seal.' He had an urge to call out a command Reborn told him about, but then again Tsuna had told him how evil his spartan tutor was, so why give it a try when he didn't even know what would happen? Enma noticed small letters engraved on it, pressing his fingers against it he could feel the embossed marks. Curious, he leaned closer to get a better look, but as he did, Tsuna's eyes fluttered open.
"Enma?" He called out sleepily.
"O-Oh sorry Tsuna-kun!" Enma pulled back awkwardly. "T-The flight attendant t-told me to- um... wake e-everyone up." He blushed, hoping Tsuna wouldn't think he was trying to make out with him while he had been sleeping.
"Oh..then I guess we better wake everyone up then." Tsuna streched, and his body creaked in response.
"Well are we allowed to just walk around the plane w-waking everyone up? I mean it could stop and w-we'd fly forwards..." Enma trailed off, thinking of all different kinds of things that could happen.
Tsuna laughed. "This isn't a car, Enma-kun. It's not like we'll go crashing through the windows if the plane lands, and it can't nessarily just stop either."
Enma smiled sheepishly at his friend's wholehearted laugh. "Oh, didn't think of that."
They woke up everyone except for Reborn and Hibari, urging one another to do it.
"Damnit, turf-top you do it." Gokudera urged.
"No way!" Ryohei protested.
"Hm.. they are a bit grumpy when they are woken up." Yamamoto agreed.
"W-What are you maggots so scared of? D-Do it." Colonello insisted.
"If you're so tough, you do it." Dino snorted.
"I'll do it..." Chrome started to walk in the two's direction but was blocked by Mukuro's arm.
"Nonsense, my dear Nagi; you don't need to touch that damned skylark or acrobaleno." Mukuro argued protectively. That's my job. He added metally.
"I'll make sure Reborn sleeps for good!" Lambo reached into his fro, but was held back by Tsuna hissing that was the last thing the plane needed, a dead cow.
"We are now landing. Please secure your seatbelts, I repeat, please fasten your seatbelts." A voice came from over the intercom. Everyone fasten thier seatbelts, and the plane glided across the runway, slowing down gradually until finally it reached a complete stop. Luckily Reborn and Hibari woke up as the intercom said the jet bridge would be put down, and the group grabbed thier luggage, climbing down the huge jet ladder onto part of the runway where a glossy black limo awaited them.
"WOAH! SO THIS IS THE VOGOLA MANSION? EXTREME!" Ryohei climbed out of the limo, examining the breaktaking mansion. It had at least four stories, behind them a fountain with Vongola statues in the center rested, the hedges had been cut into various shapes, stained glass windows of the Vongola crest were printed on the front door, the mansion itself stuck out radiantly, showing off class. No one was really sure what to think.
"Sawada-dono!" A boy with shoulder-length chestnut colored hair followed by another small boy no older than 11 (once again since its been two years) with light brown hair ran up to the group. "We're so elated you could make it! Forgive thee for asking but...what took so long? We expected you by ten o' clock."
Tsuna rubbed his sore body. "Well, Hibari-san bit most of us to death (mostly individuals) for not waking him up on time. I don't even think he was sleeping...Nice seeing you again though, Basil-kun, Futta."
"Tsuna-nii! Reborn-san!" Fuuta gave the group an innocent smile, eyeing Mukuro carefully remembering he had once been possesed by the guardian.
"Ciaossu." Reborn greeted hoping onto Basil's shoulder. "Would you mind showing them thier rooms?"
"Thou'st would be pleased to." Basil signaled the awed group into the mansion; he noticed there were two mist guardians present, but did not want to question the Vongola boss, so ignored it.
"I'm going to have a room next to the Tenth, right?" Gokudera demanded.
"I'm not sleeping next to these herbivores." Hibari announced.
"Well everyone's room is on the third floor." Basil led the group to an elevator and pressed the up arrow. "There is one for each guardians." The group walked into the abnorally large elevator space as Basil explained the rooms would be on the same floor, one person per room, (with the exception of Mukuro and Chrome being together) also noting school would start in an hour. They walked out of the elevator, and Basil smiled as he held out his hand in the direction of the rooms, staying in the elevator. "If you have any problems, please don't be ashamed to ask the bulters for anything, Vongola-dono, Master-Dino, Acrobaleno-Dono. Fuuta and thy-self will be on the second floor if you need anything." He bowed, and Fuuta waved with one hand, putting the other hand over his ranking book defensively, just as the elevator closed.
"You guys should get ready for school since we are a bit off schedule." Dino handed everyone uniforms that had a *Ettore Scola logo with small crown printed on the left top corner of the tan shirt and black jean-like pants to complete it.
Hibari rolled his eyes but stormed off to a room that had a symbol of a cloud above the Vonogla crest engraved on the front.
"Too big!" Lambo protested, holding up his uniform to his miniture body.
"Are we going to give him some aging potion or just drop the brat off at the daycare?" Dino whispered to Reborn who was sitting on his shoulder.
"It's up to Dame-Tsuna." Reborn replied, looking at Tsuna who was breaking up Yamamoto and Gokudera. "I'll ask him after he gets dressed."
"Whatever you say, Reborn." Dino shrugged. Why not just ask him now? "Hurry up, guys!" He urged; reluctanly the rest of the guardians went to thier rooms to go change, except for Lambo, who was still complaining that the uniform was too big.
The uniform was slightly loose around Tsuna but other than that, it didn't look as bad as he thought it would. He pulled up the collar to his uniform up slightly, concealing his the choker-like seal. Reborn had warned him to make sure no one found out he had the 'sin.' He then tightened his low ponytail, staring at his reflection in the mirror, he leaned closed to see that there were tiny specks of red that marred his pupils. At least I can only see it up close, He thought.
A cold feeling ran up his spine; and as he stared harder, his reflection smirked back at him, but yet his own lips hadn't moved. "What the..." He rubbed his eyes and when he looked again, his normal puzzled reflection was staring back at him. Must been my imagination, he assured himself.
"I wonder what the new school will be like." He mused to himself, trying to push the reflection thought to the back of his mind. He then glanced over at his clock that read:
11:27.
"Man I'm tired.. Reborn kept me up all night reading that damned 'controling flames for dummies' book." His King sized bed covered in velvet sheets and flossy pillows filled with feathers sure looked comforting.
"Maybe you should've read faster."
"Yea well-" Tsuna cut himself off, recognizing the voice. "REBORN?"
"Must you overreact whenever I show up?" Reborn raised an eyebrow.
"Overre- you almost gave me a heart attack!" Tsuna retorted.
"Never mind that, baka. I have a question about your lightning guardian."
Next chapter you'll get to read about the mafia school..yay :D. I bet you thought I'd be this one, but sorry its not like they can magically teleport to Italy. Also I needed to put in some details about where they're living. To me (maybe its just because I re-read it so many times) it sounds slightly rushed, sorry 'bout that ^.^ I need your opinion on whether I'm rushing or not because it feels like I am but I'm not sure. Xd Tell me what you think and you'll get to read about the mafia school sooner~
1. Also, for Lambo...should Tsuna decide to give Lambo the aging potion so he can go to school with them, OR should we put him in a daycare? Can't decide... need yur help XD.
2. Should Enma stay at home also just to train Tsuna or Go with them? (I'll probably make him go with them anyways unless theres alot of readers who disagree with this)
*Ettore Scola- is just a Italian screenwriter and film director, also the name of thier new school :3
