'Why am I stuck with this insane sadist?!'

Currently, our protagonist, Tsunayoshi Sawada, could be seen sprinting down the road as fast as his scrawny legs would carry him.

Why? Because Reborn (unsurprisingly) decided that shooting bullets would motivate him into "jogging" to Fasma, would be a fun way to pass the time.

Tsuna couldn't decided what was worse. Death by exhaustion or death by a bullet. Ideally, he'd prefer it'd be exhaustion. But something in the back of his mind told him that Reborn's method be drawn out and painful.

Luckily for young Tsunayoshi, Fasma Village was now within in sights and no longer had to worry about his untimely demise (for now). Now, if he can make it to the town's entrance Reborn would (hopefully) stop his onslaught of bright bullets.

Fasma Village was the smallest of the few municipalities that were outside of Vongola's main territory. It's primary source of income came from harvesting the plasma from Tierre's layers and compacting it in power sources. They were long lasting and held much more energy than those created using thunder based magic and the likes.

Ideally, they were used for large machines, but you could also find smaller ones made for smaller devices. Much like a volcano, the plasma could only be obtained through vents, which were not easily accessible.

The drawback: the amounts of ectoplasm that were produced in the process drew in spirits making it a -literal- ghost town. Necromancers often passed through in attempts to make contracts with some of the spirits. Necromancers were usually... an interesting bunch to have around.

"We're finally here" walking into the busy streets, Reborn looked around at the hustle and bustle of the active streets.

Barely keeping up with the taller man, Tsuna's legs had all but crumbled underneath him.

"What exactly are we even doing here?" the brunet shakily replied.

"Adranus, the Empyrean of fire is sealed away in Mount Etna"

"Isn't that where they collect the plasma?"

"Yes."

The thought was a strange one. A fire god seal away in a place where Terrians constantly ventured. How has no one noticed?

"Adranus is concealed deeper within the vent with different sets of spells to keep him hidden"

You looked up at Reborn, bewildered by his mind reading. It couldn't be possible, mist users were the only ones who had any chance at such a skill.

"I'm not a mist user."

"Get out of my head!" he dramatically yelled. No one seemed to pay him much attention.

Reborn smirked in amusement, oh how he loved messing with people.

"For now do as you please, before we head out I have business to attend to" With that Reborn walked off and disappeared into the crowd.

With nothing better to do Tsuna decided he would find a quiet place to sit down and relax. He managed to find a quiet clearing in a park a bit of a ways off from where he entered the town. Letting out a sigh he grabbed a pen and scribbled some simple runes to help ease the tension out of his legs, once he was done he slowly started massaging them to increase the effect.

Once he was done he leaned back and closed his eyes quietly taking in the sounds of his surroundings. It was a nice day outside, the buzzing of bugs and the rustle of the leaves was something that he'd grown accustomed to hearing. In the distance you could hear the chirp of a bird, the flap and it's wings, and it sounded like it was getting closer...?

BAM

The small body of a swallow collided with Tsuna's cheek. The dazed bird wobbled about next to him. Tsuna rubbed his throbbing cheek with one hand. Using the other, he gently stopped the bird from wobbling and held it in place while it regained it's senses. Upon closer inspection, the swallow had blue flames coming from the tips of its tail and from both sides of its head. It took a moment to realize that this wasn't a regular bird but a familiar.

Tsuna slowly picked up the bird, checking to see if it had any injuries. The bird seemed used to being handled so didn't put up much resistance. After expanding its wings and applying small amounts of pressure around the swallow's body Tsuna determined that the white and blue bird was unharmed.

"Kojirou! Where'd you fly off to? Are we playing hide and seek now? Haha!"

Kojirou squawked excitedly and flew off towards his master once he was in view.

"There you are, Kojirou!" A fairly tall man with short spiky hair appeared from behind you. Next to him, huffing at the bird happily, was a medium sized dog with blue flames dancing around their ears. Rain familiars.

"Maa, I see you made a friend Kojirou. I'm Yamamoto Takeshi and this is Jirou and Kojirou, nice to meet you!"

Getting up onto your feet you offer your hand to Yamamoto "Hello, my name's Sawada Tsunayoshi, you can just call me Tsuna, the pleasure is mine Yamamoto-san".

Yamamoto shakes your hand and flashed you a smile.

Finally I have made progress! Jesus it only took forever. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope you had a wonderful day

The winning results of the poll were tied between Yamamoto staying and him making a short appearance so I'll see how I decided this goes, depending on what I chose to do I might make a "what if" one shot.

Second place in the poll was literally everything else tied.

Should I introduce Natsu as Tsuna's familiar? Please let me know in the reviews
