A/N: Hello lovely readers~ AdT here for another story~ But this one's already finished so there won't be any delays with the update. And this one's supposed to be a one-shot but I had to cut it in half because it's too long.

Btw... I got the plot from my prinmgt class... My prof actually wanted us to interview people from the top 500 (or was it 100?) companies in our country. And somethings that Nezu said here is what my prof told us.

Anyway, I won't (or may not) update the others until the issue with ffnet is resolved...Though I'm not sure if it will be resolved though. But, I'm still hoping!

Warning: BAD WORDS. OOC-TSUNA. Slight-AU. Probably some wrong grammars here and there. No YAOI.

Homeroom class is, as usual, the same. With the incessant chatters, flying paper planes, and uncontrollable giggles. So there's nothing out of place.

Tsuna sighed as he watched the usual scene before him. It looks peaceful but he still can't shake the feeling of danger.

Now at the age of 17, he learned to always trust his hyper intuition because it saved him many times from danger. And now that he's the official Decimo, he needs to be extra careful.

Yes, he's now officially the Vongola Decimo, though he just inherited the position a week ago. So, he still can't help but feel a little paranoid as to what may happen next that may endanger his or his friends and family's lives. And what Reborn said to him that day doesn't make him feel any better.

"This is just the beginning Dame-Tsuna, just because you're the Decimo now doesn't mean that all's well. People will be watching your every move and there would be lots of trials that you and your guardians must overcome to prove your worth and gain their loyalty."

Tsuna sighed again as he felt an incoming headache. And this time he earned worried looks from his two best friends.

"Juudaime, are you alright? Should I call an ambulance?"

"Oi, Tsuna what's wrong?"

"Guys, I'm alright its just that I remembered what Reborn said last week."

Both Yamamoto and Gokudera had an understanding look.

"Don't worry Juudaime! As your right-hand man I will definitely protect you!"

"Maa, maa. Gokudera's right! Besides, you already improved a lot to show them that you're capable to be a good boss, ne?"

Well it's true that Tsuna, after years of Spartan tutor sessions with Reborn, finally improved his grades from a 0 to at least an 80, with the occasional 100. And secretly, Reborn is proud of his student. Tsuna also managed to gain a bit of respect from his peers because of the sudden change, but that still doesn't stop the others from making fun of him. And though, Tsuna improved his grades and got a bit of respect from his classmates, he's still clumsy.

'Guess I'll never get rid of my Dame-ness.' Tsuna thought bitterly. "Well I suppose you're right, but I'm still clumsy and I'm sure that they don't want a clumsy leader."

"I'm sure it'll work out Juudaime!"

"We have to think positive thoughts!"

"Thanks guys." Tsuna smiled at his best friends who smiled back.

That peaceful moment didn't last when their homeroom teacher, Nezu-sensei, barged in. Yes, Nezu Dohachiro, he actually wanted to keep an eye on Tsuna's group so he followed their batch. Tsuna and the others didn't care what his motives are but it annoyed them though.

"Alright, get back to your seats. I have an announcement to make." Nezu waited for the students to return to their places before continuing, "Now, as we all know, there's going to be a competition throughout the whole sections of Year 2." (note: they're in High school)

The class erupted into competitive cheers.

"Quiet down and let me finish, this is mainly for your economics class. You are to find someone; a relative, family friend, whatsoever with a high position in one of the top 500 companies in the world."

A student raised a hand.

"Yes?"

"But sensei, wouldn't that be difficult? I mean, you said 'in the world', so what if their headquarters are not here?"

"Ahh…well you either find another or interview the one with the higher position in their Japanese branch. Obviously, some of the companies would have different branches all over the world. And remember, the higher the position and the higher the rank of the company, you'll win. But remember that the rank of the company is your priority. So even if the position is not much, but the company's rank is higher than the other sections, you also win. Also, your economics teacher said, that a manager position, no offense, is not enough. So is a secretary of a Vice President/President/CEO."

Another hand shot up, "Does that mean, we should at least interview the Vice President?"

Nezu smirked, "Of course."

Murmurs resonated in the room.

"Quiet, this will be a great experience for you. Now when you enter the building for the interview, expect the people to look down on you. Even the security guard would assess you. This will give you a huge insight on what the real world is. It will be a completely different environment."

The class shivered in fear, well most of them anyway except for a few people.

"Now, I'll leave the rest up to the class representative."

When the class representative began asking for their connections, Tsuna zoned her out.

'Dammit, Reborn! Is this what you meant by trials?' Tsuna thought, exasperated. 'Does he really want me to participate and vote for my Dad? Or worse, me? So that I have to start acting like a boss." Tsuna shook his head. 'I won't fall for it, Reborn. Besides, the chances of someone in my class having a connection to that company is close to zero.' Tsuna mentally patted himself when he thought of that. But the next words he heard almost made him pee in his pants.

"My mom's the President of the Vongola Fashion Inc.'s branch here in Japan!" Osamu boasted.

Tsuna paled, 'OH NO, NO, NO, NO!'

Yamamoto and Gokudera looked at the pale Tsuna. And seeing his soul leaving his body, Gokudera reacted immediately.

"Juudaime! Please pull yourself together!" Gokudera cried as he tried to put Tsuna's mourning soul back.

"Oi, Tsuna! Wake up!" Yamamoto shook Tsuna's pale body.

Sensing the noise, Osamu jeered; "What Dame-Tsuna? Shocked that I have such great connections? Ha! You'll never reach my level!"

"Teme! I'll have you know that Juudaime's connections-"

"Gokudera-kun, please stop." Tsuna said as he rubbed his aching head.

"Are you alright now Tsuna?"

"Yes Yamamoto-kun." Tsuna then turned to Osamu, " Well, I'm sure it's great that you have such great connections."

This boosted Osamu's ego more, "Of course, my family's great after all." He then said to the class representative, "So we're going to interview my mom right?"

The class representative nodded, "Yes, of course, that company is one of the top 10 after all."

Osamu cheered, "Now that that's settled, I'll go and inform my mom." And then he left the classroom.

"Tch. If only he knew the truth."

"Maa, maa. Hey, you don't think this is one of the trials that the kid said last time, don't you?"

"Yes, I think this is one of them." Tsuna confirmed.

"Juudaime! Then doesn't that mean that you should've volunteered?"

"I refuse to drag them into this this. Their lives may be endangered!"

~At home inside Tsuna's room~

"Reborn!" Tsuna barged in to find the hitman drinking espresso while petting Leon.

"Yes?"

"Don't 'yes?' me. What is the meaning of this?"

"Meaning of what, Dame-Tsuna?"

"You know, the 2nd years interviewing important people! And you knew that one of my classmates has a connection to the Vongola!"

"Ahh…well I did say last week that there would be trials. And besides they're not connected to the mafia, just the company. Also, there's a reason for that trial."

Tsuna's confused, "What reason?"

"Well it seems that someone's been committing offenses and the Ninth wants you to do something about it."

"Why me?"

"You're the boss now, so it's your job."

Tsuna groaned as he proceeded to take a bath to relieve his stress.

"Oh Dame-Tsuna?"

"Yes?"

"Just remember since last week, be informed that everyone within the Vongola and its allies, mafia or not, knows that you, Sawada Tsunayoshi, is the Decimo. Although most of them don't know your face."

Tsuna didn't really know what Reborn meant with that so he shrugged it off. "Okay."

Reborn sighed; really his student can be dense.

~A few weeks later~

The whole class of 2-A now stood in front of the luxurious doors; many were looking nervously at the intimidating guard. The class representative finally stepped up to the guard who raised an eyebrow.

"Excuse me, we came here to interview to Kaneda-san."

The guard looked skeptical at first then led them in, to the front desk.

"Hey, these kids say that they have an interview."

The woman looked at them with disinterest, and then began to dial on the phone. "I'm sorry to disturb you but there are people here that said they have an appointment with Kaneda-sama?" There was a murmur from the other side. "Oh right! My apologies, I will direct them to your office then." She then turned to the class and said, "Well, please follow me."

The students began to form two lines and followed the woman. They surveyed the building, many people were bustling in and out of rooms, and some were talking on two phones. But there's one thing about all of them, they looked at the students with mild curiosity before continuing with what they're doing.

After getting off the elevator, the woman turned them over to the secretary before going back to her station. The secretary smiled at them before motioning to follow her. They stopped in front of another luxurious door called Gioconda Shine, the door's made of ecological leather and is decorated with some 31,000 Swarovski crystals. Many students gaped at the sight, as Osamu smiled smugly at them.

The office inside is much more luxurious, there's a Persian carpet that covered the whole floor, Barrister bookcases, a giant chandelier, a Parnian Custom Desk, and, a Yalos Diamond LCD TV which is studded with 160 genuine diamonds worth 20 carats. The students wondered if this is still called an office, what with the too expensive things inside. In the middle of the room, typing on a Zeus Platinum PC while talking on a diamond-studded GoldVish Le Millino Phone is Osamu's mother. Obviously she loves to show off her status, if her pearl necklace and earrings, the Hermes handbag, and Gucci dress are any indications.

Gokudera almost snorted in disgust, these types people annoy (irritate) him. It's such a good thing that his tenth is not one of those people, though in the future he'll be forced to wear such things to maintain his image.

He then turned to his boss to say something when the woman squealed; "Ah! My darling Osamu! You came!" and proceeded to hug her son to death.

Sensing that she's not needed anymore the secretary left the room, leaving the rest of the 2-A in an awkward situation. Now how do they start the interview?

Good thing Osamu pleaded his mom to stop embarrassing him.

"Now, mom, can we please proceed with the interview?"

"Of course. Now what would you like to ask?"

A girl with thick glasses asked first; "Well, Kaneda-san, How do you manage to handle such a great company?"

"Well, it's pretty hard do this because, one; I have a family to attend to. Two; because the Vongola has many competitors so we have to keep up with the trends or we'll lose the customers. And three; Our boss is always away because he's always needed in Italy, so I have no choice but to take over."

Another guy asked, "So how do you describe your boss?"

"Well specify first. The boss of the entire Vongola, or the boss of the Second Vongola, which is my boss?" (note: Second Vongola is the CEDEF)

"Both please."

Mrs. Kaneda sighed, "Well that's troublesome, since the Decimo was only announced a week ago."

Osamu gaped, "A week ago? So he's new then? And what does Decimo mean?"

"Yes, and if I'm correct he's about your age. I've never met him and, from what I've heard from the rumors, they say that he's a no-good kid. He's violent, brutal and kills anyone that disobeys him. His so-called guardians are also the same! Oh and Decimo means Tenth in Italian. Honestly, I can't believe that the Vongola chose a barbarian for the Decimo. It's such a good thing that my dear Osamu is a good kid." Mrs. Kaneda said dramatically as she hugged her son again.

Gokudera seethed, how dare they spread such false lies about his boss! He doesn't care if they trash his name but to tarnish his Juudaime's would be unforgivable! When this is over he'll kill the one responsible for spreading those fabricated rumors. Yamamoto on the other hand, had a sharp look on his face; he's not really pleased with those defamations about his friends.

They're about to defend their boss when Tsuna held both their wrists to say a silent stop. They looked at the brunet to see pain reflected in those orbs, but with determination. Seeing the look in those eyes, they reluctantly stopped.

"What about your boss?" Kamiyama asked.

"Him?" Mrs. Kaneda said with a poorly hidden disgusted look, which made Tsuna twitch. "Well I really don't understand why he's the boss, I mean all he does is fawn over how cute his son and how beautiful his wife are! Whenever we have meetings, it won't start or end without him showing a 50-slide PowerPoint presentation about his son, and a 100-slide PowerPoint about his wife! What an idiot, I'm obviously more beautiful than his wife. I mean, that young face of hers is nothing compared to my mature look! I heard that she's an airhead too, what's to like about stupid people? And my son is way cuter and smarter than his son."

Tsuna growled, that's out of the line. She may insult him, but she should never insult his friends and family. She viewed him as a ruthless man, then ruthless shall she get.

"You've got guts, woman." Tsuna seethed.
