Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. If I did, Tsuna would have been boss by now.

This story is set right before the Inheritance Ceremony arc, and right after they got back from the Future.

It came as a surprise to class 2-A when Nezu-sensei strolled in during homeroom right in the middle of the class representative's tirade. After all, it's not every day that the stingy teacher would come in so early in the morning with the Principal in tow. The yawning students suddenly snapped to attention, and those who were half asleep were prodded into consciousness, everyone sensing that something important is going to happen.

"Settle down, you lot, the Principal is here. He has an important announcement to make, so make sure to listen carefully!" growled out Nezu-sensei, waking up the last of the sleeping students.

"Our school received a generous offer from a friend of Boreen-sensei, and this class has been chosen to participate in this wonderful opportunity," the Principal stated, being purposely vague, knowing that the students are now hanging onto his every word. Tsuna, on the other hand, immediately grew suspicious when one of his tutor's pseudonyms was mentioned.

"This class will not go with the other classes on their field trip..." began the Principal. Before the students of 2-A could express their disappointment, however, Reborn seemingly appeared out of nowhere in his Boreen-sensei costume and announced "...instead, you will be going to an all-expense paid field trip to Italy."

Tsuna paled at this announcement. After all, they're going to Italy, the capital of all things mafia. And with Reborn pulling the strings, bodily harm is the least of your possible problems.

After a few seconds of dumbfounded silence, the class broke out of their reverie and cheered. This year's supposedly boring educational trip is now shaping up to be an exciting out-of-the-country affair.

When the class finally settled-down after their mini-celebration, Reborn, still in his Boreen-sensei getup, continued and said, "Since this field trip is out-of-the-country, you'll need to sign a waiver in case you get killed— I mean, injured during the trip."

This waiver, and Reborn's not-quite slip-of-the-tongue turned Tsuna's suspicion into full-blown paranoia. His hyperactive imagination started going into overdrive, running through an infinite number of horrific things that may happen during the trip.

"We will be leaving for Italy on Friday evening, so make sure to have it signed by your parents before then. The class representative will pass out the waivers, along with the things you need to bring later." He then got down from the desk and left, bringing the Principal and Nezu-sensei along with him.

Conversation immediately started up the moment the three teachers left the classroom, and the class representative had to threaten everyone that she won't give them waivers in order for them to settle down. Grumbling, the students resumed their seats, not the least bit happy that their discussions got cut short.

"Boreen-sensei has left a couple of instructions for the trip, so settle down while I get down to doing them, okay?" asked the class representative. The class murmured their agreement, surprisingly compliant. They want to learn more about the trip; after all, the more information to gloat about to their other schoolmates, the better.

"According to my instructions, I'm supposed to hand out your waivers and your— wait, that can't be right..." the class rep trailed out, checking for a box beside the table that was innocuously left behind by the enigmatic Boreen-sensei.

"Eeeh?" she blurted out, rather dumbfounded by the contents of the box. Kaneda, no longer able to hold in his anticipation, strolled to the front of the classroom and grabbed the box to see what its contents were.

"Huh? Aren't these passports? Why do you have them here, Iinchou?" he asked the class rep who was slumped on the floor rather ungracefully.

Recovering from her shock, she dusted off her skirt and answered, "Those passports are apparently ours, and I'm supposed to distribute them together with the waivers and the list of things we need to bring. Apparently since only a few of us have gone outside of Japan before, he took it upon himself to have them made for us. And get back to your seat, Kaneda-kun."

"Made them for— can you even do that?" asked Suzuki, to which the class rep replied, "Apparently, since we do have passports in this box. How he got the necessary information to apply passports for all of us, I'll never know. Anyway, I'm just going to distribute this like he says, so come up here when I call your name."

The first student came up immediately to the front when his name was called, and he resumed his seat immediately afterwards. Those sitting near him immediately huddled, quite eager to see what he got, disregarding the fact that they would also be receiving the same things when they get their turn. Leafing through his newly-acquired passport, he could not help but gasp in surprise at what he found.

"Eeeh? Where did they get this photo, I don't even remember having this taken... And the address is accurate too, not to mention it has my signature! How on earth did they get all this? Is Boreen-sensei's friend a stalker or something?" he exclaimed, surprising everyone.

'Why am I not surprised? After going through all the trouble of arranging this trip, making passports for everyone is probably a piece of cake,' Tsuna mused.

The noise died down for a while as each student rifled through their own passport. The next big outrage came in the form of Gokudera, who was making a scene about his passport being in the box.

"Gokudera-kun, what's wrong?" asked Tsuna.

"Damn! That friend of Boreen-sensei is a very suspicious person. From what I remember, I left my passport at my apartment, and there's no way a normal person would have gotten through all the protections I left there! Is he from a rival mafia?" Gokudera practically shouted, his mind already going through a list of possible enemies.

"Maa, maa, Gokudera, isn't it great that you got your passport back?" Yamamoto stated, trying to calm down the silver-haired teen in his usual, relaxed manner.

"Shut up, Baseball-idiot! I didn't ask for your opinion!" Gokudera retorted.

Gokudera and Yamamoto went on in that vein for quite a while, with the rest of the class ignoring them. It was hardly the first time that it happened, and just when Gokudera was about to whip out his dynamites, Tsuna was called to the front.

"Huh? Why do I have two passports?" Tsuna wondered, immediately attracting the attention of the entire class.

"What are you saying, Dame-Tsuna? Japan doesn't allow dual citizenships! Don't make things up!" shouted Kaneda.

"But they both have my name on them, and the nationality says both Italian and Japanese. What does that mean?"

"As expected of the 10th! To think you'd become an Honorary Italian citizen at such a young age! They must have heard of the 10th's greatness!"

"I don't think that's the reason, Gokudera-kun." Tsuna sweatdropped.

"Ehhhh? Honorary citizen? What did Dame-Tsuna do to get such an honor? From what I've seen, only people like the Pope and Dalai Lama ever get those. Did you really get one?" Kurihara asked.

"You bastard! How dare you doubt the 10th!" Gokudera had his dynamites out by now, and proceeded to terrorize their poor classmate.

'That Reborn, I knew he'd do something like this! I haven't even thought of using my nationality to avoid being the 10th boss, and he already prevented it!' thought Tsuna forlornly.

As soon as Tsuna got home, he immediately set out to confront Reborn. He found the arcobaleno sitting on his armchair atop the desk in his room, drinking his usual cup of espresso.

"Reborn! What was that all about?" Tsuna exclaimed, as he slammed the door open, no longer able to hold his frustration in. He spent the entire day stressed about the field trip, what little concentration he had for his classes disappeared for the rest of the day.

"What are you talking about, Tsuna?" replied Reborn, his face a complete picture of innocence, just like all the other times when he's up to no good.

Seeing Reborn's expression, Tsuna got even more riled up, "Don't mess with me! I'm talking about the trip to Italy of course, that field trip!"

Putting down his cup of coffee, Reborn stood up and said, "A Boss must know about his territory and his subordinates. It'll be good training for you."

"Why did you have to bring the entire class to Italy too? Also, I never said i'd be a mafia boss! And stop turning every conversation into a lesson!" Tsuna shouted hysterically. At this, Reborn kicked Tsuna's face, sending him sprawling to the ground.

"Nono is sponsoring the entire trip, it'd be pointless if you don't go." Reborn replied, ignoring Tsuna's I'm-not-gonna-be-a-mafia-boss tirade as usual. "Besides, if you go on this trip, I'll make sure you're seatmates with Kyoko on the way to Italy. After all, the flight is 11 hours long."

Tsuna stopped at this, considering Reborn's last few words. "If Jii-chan already prepared so much, then it can't be helped. And besides, Kyoko-chan is coming too. It shouldn't be that bad."

Famous last words.

A/N:

I've been wondering why nobody makes these types of fanfics in Reborn!, so I figured I might as well do it myself. It's my first time writing a fic though, so if you don't find it very good, there you have it!

As for the thing about avoiding being a boss, blood is extremely important in Sicilian mafia. You can't join the mafia if you're not born into it, which makes Primo and Tsuna's choice of guardians even more controversial. According to Italian citizenship laws, as long as your ancestor is Italian, as far as they're concerned, you're Italian as well, which makes Tsuna (technically) have dual citizenship. Dual citizenships are okay, but this is not the case for Japan. Japan forces one to choose between your citizenships at the age of 22. I figured Iemitsu must have renounced his Japanese ancestry instead of his Italian one, seeing that he is still in the mafia. Renouncing his Italian ancestry would have made Tsuna completely Japanese, and unable to become boss. Also Iemitsu wouldn't have been able to continue working for Vongola. Since Tsuna is practically Vongola's last hope, I figured Reborn would make sure he has no way out, hence the Honorary citizenship thing. Anyway this is just conjecture, but since it works for this fic, then hurrah!
