Tsuna was currently fighting a vicious battle. He had fought it since the ceremony that had made him officially the Vongola Decimo. It seemed to grow each day, no matter how hard he fought. To him, it was known as the dark pit of despair. To others, it was known as paperwork. He was more than relieved when a tapping at the window excused him from his fight with the beast.

Opening the window to the Vongola mansion, Byakuran flew in. Tsuna took a minute to look out at the Italian world around him. Only 15 and the head of a mafia family. Tsuna turned his attention back to his guest. "Tsu-chan! How long has it been?"

"Um, less than a week, I think."

"Want some marshmallows?" asked Byakuran, pulling 10 huge bags of marshmallows out of nowhere (probably the same place Hibari kept his tophnas.)

"Thanks Byakuran." Tsuna grabbed a bag of sugary puffballs. "So what brings you here Byakuran?"

"Ah, Tsu-chan, you're always so sharp! It's about one of your parallel selves!"

"What about him?" asked Tsuna, not quite sure where this was going.

"You should see for yourself." Sky flames erupted from Byakuran, filling the room. Tsuna began to take his out, but Byakuran's were choking him, making his mind fuzzy and his body numb, until the world dissappeared.

When Tsuna came to, his mind was blank. Who was he again? Where was he? What had he just been doing? Luckily, it flooded back in a second. Unluckily, it made no sense. In some memories, he was 15 years old and the boss of the largest mafia family, yet in others, he was three years younger and had a twin named Ieyasu who tortured him. Looking around at his house that he hadn't been in since he had become the 10th Vongola, the second set of memories must have been real. That is, until he saw the bag of marshmallows.

On top of the bag of puffy white pieces of heaven was a note.

Hey Tsu-chan! This is the parallel world I was just talking about! You seemed so wimpy I couldn't help but intervene. Have fun!

~Byakuran

Tsuna gave a groan. Some *cough*most*cough* times, Byakuran genius ideas did more bad then good. Of course, he should be thanking his lucky stars that Byakuran did batter bringing him here than he did bringing Ghost to their world.

A loud blaring shook Tsuna back to the real world. The old alarm clack he used to use until Reborn came sat innocently on his desk, making a not so innocent blaring noise. Shutting it off, Tsuna got dressed and headed down to breakfast in the new yet familiar world.

Tsuna twin greeted him with a punch to the face. "You're late, Dame-Tsuna." Ieyasu looked a bit more like their dad then Tsuna did and was perfect at practically every think, including being a jerk. Tsuna began to cower, memories of everything Ieyasu had done to the Tsuna of this world filling his head. Then the memories of the mafia came, and Tsuna stood back up.

"Put a little more shoulder into it Ieyasu, that was weak." Said Tsuna with a smile and sat down at the table, grabbing a piece of toast and trying not to laugh at the look of surprise on Ieyasu's face. This may end up being fun.

When Tsuna arrived at school, he didn't know what to do. He could easily take out all of the bullies, he could get A's in every subject if he tried, yet he didn't want people to notice how much he changed. So in the end, he got beat up 3 times, got F's on all the test and assignments, and sucked in P.E. (A/N sorry if you wanted more about his first day in school, I couldn't come up with enough interesting things though.)

Tsuna had been working very hard on his math problems (making sure to get everything wrong) when the doorbell rang. Looking at the calendar, Tsuna knew exactly who it was. He opened the door and looked down ward, meeting the gaze of a baby in a suit.

Reborn rang the door bell and waited for the door to open. To his surprise, the person who opened the door immediately looked down at him, a small smile playing at the boy's lips. This must be Sawada Ieyasu, thought Reborn, and aimed a kick at the boy's head. To his surprise, the boy dodged his attack and plucked him out of the air as he flew by, placing him on his shoulder. Ieyasu is even better that I thought he would be, thought Reborn, but was surprised at what the boy said.

"You must be Ieyasu's new tutor. I'm his twin brother, Tsuna. Ieyasu is in his room right now. I'll show you where it is." This surprised Reborn, and Reborn was not easy to surprise. From what he'd heard, Sawada Tsunayoshi was a below average boy who couldn't do anything right, yet he'd just dodged his kick. Reborn threw the thought to the back of his head as they reached Ieyasu's room.

"Dame-Tsuna, what have I told you about entering my room without my permission!" yelled Ieyasu as they entered. The room looked like a storm guardian had just been in it. Tsuna gave a bow, yet he gave off a feeling that he wasn't sorry at all.

"S-sorry Ieyasu, b-but the tutor h-had arrived." Tsuna placed Reborn on the floor and left the room.

"You've got to be kidding me. I thought mom was kidding when she said she would get me a tutor! And why are you a baby?!" yelled Ieyasu at Reborn, receiving a bullet that grazed his cheek, leaving a thin trail of red. Reborn was disappointed that Ieyasu's reflexes weren't as good or better than Tsuna's.

"Baka-Ieyasu, don't judge on appearences."

"You have a gun! What normal tutor carries a gun?!" yelled Ieyasu, pointing a shaking finger at Reborn.

"I am no normal tutor. I am Reborn, the world's best hitman. I am here to train you to be the next boss of the largest mafia, the Vongola."

"A boss?" said Ieyasu, perking at this. "With unlimited people who obey?" another near hit from a bullet.

"It's not an easy job, in fact, three of the candidates have already died." Reborn was pleased to see the smug look wiped off his face. "I'm here to train so that you can stand a chance." The door to the bedroom opened, revealing Tsuna holding a cup of expresso.

"H-how's the tutoring, Ieyasu?" Tsuna stuttered.

"Why are you back?" growled Ieyasu.

"I thought Reborn would enjoy a cup of expresso." said Tsuna, holding out the cup to the infant.

"Thank you." Reborn grabbed the cup and took a sip, surprised that it tasted just like his special brew. He would have thanked Tsuna, but the boy was already gone. It wouldn't be until that night that Reborn noticed he never told the boy his name.

The next days were kind of a blur. Ieyasu got hit by a dying will bullet and asked Kyoko to go out with him. Kyoko actually said yes. (Tsuna cried that night). Things were boring. That is, until a certain Italian came.

It was another day of boring school when he came. "This is our new foreign exchange student, Gokudera Hayato. Would you like to tell the class something about yourself?"

"No."

"Ah, o-okay. You're seat is over- where are you going?" Gokudera had walked over to Ieyasu and flipped over his desk before going to the only empty desk, which just so happened to be next to Tsuna.

"Hi, I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi." said Tsuna with a grin, thinking about the Gokudera of his world. "I hope we can become friends." Tsuna didn't flinch at the glare the Italian shot at him, just glad that something familiar was here.

As expected, that day after school, Gokudera cornered Ieyasu. Ieyasu got the whole 'I'm gonna kill you and become the Decimo' chat, things going exactly as they had when this had happened to Tsuna. That is, until the dying will part.

"Reborn! I will defeat Gokudera with my dying will!" yelled Ieyasu and began defusing the bombs, but when Gokudera messed up with the triple bombs, Ieyasu did not jump to defuse the ones near Gokudera. He was focused in defeating Gokudera, and that meant he would let him be blown up. Tsuna had been sitting behind a bush watching this. A hood covered his face in case he was spotted. Reborn probably knew there was someone watching, but hopefully he didn't know it was him. Not thinking, Tsuna jumped out of his hiding place and tackled Gokudera, his own back taking the brunt of the damage. Smoke filled the air, aiding him in his escape.

Tsuna had rushed home (where he was supposed to be) and examined the damage done to his back. It was burnt, and had bloody, but nothing life threatening. Tsuna lit a sun flame on one of the rings on his fingers and started working on healing the wounds, thinking about when he had received the ring.

*FLASHBACK*

It was Tsuna's 15th birthday. Just the other day, they had found out he had each of the flames. Some were weaker than others, and so far he couldn't achieve HDWM with any other than the sky flame, but they were all there.

Mukuro and Chrome's present was a trident and a mist ring, Hibari's was a pair of tonphas and a cloud ring, Ryohei's boxing gloves and a sun ring, Gokudera's present was a years supply of dynamite and a storm ring, Lambo's was an old pair of his horns, a piece of grape candy he'd pulled from his hair, and a lightning ring, and Yamamoto's was a baseball bat that turned into a sword and a rain ring.

For most of the rings, he could hardly produce a flame, and he didn't know when he'd use all of the weapons, but he accepted them anyways. And, because of all the new weapons, Reborn insisted *cough*ordered*cough* that Tsuna learn how to use each of them with their respected flame.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

A/N: Hi! How was it? I hope you liked it. If you don't, then I guess it wasn't for you. *sigh* I know the beginning kind of sucked, but I just wanted to dive straight into the story.
