Chapter 3: This has to be a Nightmare
Tsuna roused as he got up from his slumber and got up from his bed, hands covering his face. “What a horrible nightmare.”
First, he was in the center of the hot spring battlefield with his friends and the Varia. Then, he found himself in the center of a limo with his future friend with only a towel around his waist. Lastly, Reborn was in adult form, with a more sinister grin than what he was used to, and a gun pointing at him.
Calming down from his imagination saying with a nervous laugh, “It was all a dream. I mean Reborn in adult form is impossible,” He let down his hands and looked up expecting to see his younger friends sleeping around him at an inn. Instead, he screamed silently in his head when unfamiliar surroundings replaced his earlier vision.
What should have been a tatami mat room was replaced with a western style bedroom. A door, to what seems like a wardrobe room, was in the corner with a full body mirror that could be seen inside. Expensive paintings covered the walls while picture frames sat on top of the fireplace across from him. The carpet floor looked cleaner than white and soft to the touch. A chandelier hanged from the middle of the room as a floor to ceiling window was on his right as he sat in a king size bed and the curtains up to show the starry night sky.
“W-Where am I!” He yelled hands now were rubbing his head franticly trying to think of an explanation. Upon raising his hands he noticed the oversized dress-shirt and rolled up pants.
“Who changed my clothes while I was asleep!?” another shout escaped his lips, “Did someone kidnap me while I was asleep!?” Immediately after that a lady came in. Her simple red dress was sleeveless and knee length, but was beyond amazing since it sculpted with her body. Her hair was bundled up and had pearled flowers around it matched with her pearl necklace and earrings.
She blinked when she noticed the small figure in the oversized bed and smiled making Tsuna realize who she was. “Ah, Tsu-kun you’re awake,” Kyoko blushed seeing that he was intently looking at her in amazement.
“K-Kyoko-chan…” He managed to say when footsteps could be heard from the opened door.
“What happened, Jyuudaime!?” a person with silver, shoulder-length, hair came in running hands ready to reach for his boxes around his waist. Three others were behind him: One had messy short black hair with a scar under his chin; another with white messy hair; and a teen with cow patterned shirt.
Tsuna immediately recognized all of them as his friends in future form. “G-Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto, Onii-san, Lambo…” he said still in a daze. When it finally sank in he held his head in more frustration, “Argh that wasn’t a dream after all!”
The four men eased up realizing it was only the yells of confusion from their young boss.
“Ma-ma calm down Tsuna,” Yamamoto laughed like his past self.
“That’s right Jyuudaime,” Gokudera started staring over the frantic Tsuna, “what happened? If you were fired by the ten year bazooka then you should have went back to your time 15 minutes ago.”
“Eh! What do you mean 15 minutes ago!?” Tsuna said panicking again. His memories flew to the hot springs and remembering a purple tube zapping and wet. “Lambo… got that bazooka wet again…..”
“If that’s so Sawada, you won’t be going back in another…” Ryohei stopped to calculate, “another 2 hours and 30 minutes.”
“Huh? How do you know that for sure?” the young boss came out of his panic session.
“Giannini had the bazooka tested out many times to see its effects,” Lambo walked closer, “of course that was an order from your older self, young Vongola.”
“I see…” Tsuna trailed off when his stomach gave off a growl. Everyone busted out laughing making his face turn red in both embarrassment and frustration, “This is because I haven’t eaten dinner!” No one was listening as they continued to laugh, “Stop laughing you guys!” Even though he meant to say it in anger he started to laugh as well.
“It seems like you guys are having fun,” A voice behind them said making everyone stop in their tracks. Everyone, especially Tsuna, knows who this voice belonged to regardless of change. All heads turned towards the door where a man in black suit, tie, pants, and fedora was leaning on. It wasn’t a real fright for everyone when they saw the smirk, however for Tsuna that was another story. Not only has his torturing tutor become an adult, god-knows-how, he was grinning the same way when he has something devious in mind.
“I really wish this was a dream!” Tsuna thought sweating profusely.
“Reborn-san, didn’t you have a call?” Gokudera asked curious as to why the man was here.
Reborn’s grin curved up a little more making Tsuna shiver, “I just finished it a while back. But to think that we had to skip out on the party.”
“Party…!” Tsuna exclaimed, “Then the reason you guys are dressed up… I’m sorry guys!”
“It’s okay Tsuna,” Yamamoto laughed, “There was no way that you would have known what would happen. Anyways we should get you to eat.”
“Oh I forgot,” He said with a blush and another growl began. Laughing as he was, he was surprised to see the many faces in surprise when he looked up.
Everyone sighed in agreement, “That’s just like you…”
This brought about another confused expression upon Tsuna’s face. “Did I miss something?”
“No Jyuudaime,” Gokudera smiled awkwardly bringing out his hand to help the boss out of the humongous bed. Tsuna gladly obliged as he wrestled with the clothing he was swimming in.
“Then is there a reason that you guys are saying that?” he said finally on his feet and following everyone out of the room.
“Well Tsu-kun,” Kyoko said with a small smile as she walked next to him, “You sometimes forget to eat because of work or something happening, so…”
“Eh work?” Tsuna said again clueless and afraid in where this was heading, “As in what kind?”
Reborn turned his head in a wide grin, “What else could it be?”
Immediately he stopped in his tracks, shock clearly on his face, “NANI (What)!!!!!!!!?”
Lambo patted his back and pushed him forward, “There’s no helping it young Vongola. You inherited everything because of some mishap with another Family. You had to work with it regardless.”
“What do you mean?” but he couldn’t get anything else out of them when he saw himself in front of double doors with the Vongola crest. “You’ve got to be kidding me! This mansion is mine! I thought this was a luxuries Hotel!” Without warning they opened revealing the long table with utensils and food already on the table.
“Boss you’re here,” a woman in a purple ruffle dress and eye patch walked up behind Tsuna. The color brought out both the revealing eye and hair braided with tiny purple flowers.
“Ha-hi, Tsuna-san you’re awake,” another lady came up behind the other, with a pot of soup at hand. Her brown dress was hidden behind the apron but he could tell that it was the a little shorter from what Kyoko was wearing. Because of the short hair she only had it crimped and a hairpin for her bangs.
“Haru, Chrome…” Tsuna smiled in memory of the time that the girls helped out on the chores from the past during the battles with Byakuran.
“Ah, Sawada san, you were just in time for dinner,” another girl in a Chinese red dress came around the corner with four baskets of what smelled like meat buns.
“I-Pin, let me help,” Lambo ran up to get two and got them to the table.
Everyone followed to sit down and started eating. Tsuna did the same and enjoyed the conversation he was having. It just felt like he was back at home with the younger version of his friends. Lambo was picking a fight with Gokudera making Yamamoto try to calm them down, but Ryohei started the conversation about sports making the baseball fanatic stop his interference and let them do as they want. This made Tsuna try to calm them instead. The girls were talking with each other. Reborn sat calmly in his seat but had an eager aura around him as if waiting for something.
The dinner continued on for 25 minutes and Tsuna enjoyed every moment. Everything was cleared off of the table and was sent to be cleaned by some maids. As soon as they left another came in with hurried steps towards
Tsuna, who began to fluster in what to do.
“Sawada-sama unexpected guesses are here,” she said quickly with worry in her eyes.
“Who… is it?” he said uncertain if the maid noticed the change in his appearance of ten years.
“That’s…” she didn’t get to finish when the door slammed open. The guardians were ready on their feet expecting enemies as.
“VOOOOIII! WHERE IS THAT BRAT?!” yelled a familiar long haired swordsman walking in annoyance looking around, “MAKING US COME HERE AFTER CANCELLING THE PARTY!”
“Stop that Squalo it’s not beautiful at all,” said his comrade with sunglasses.
“Ushishishi, just let him be Lussuria,” the other commented wearing a crown on his matted tan hair.
“Squalo is hot tempered either way, like Bell-sempai,” a frog hat on the person started getting stabbed by a sword and multiple daggers.
“Leave them alone Flan, or you will be at your deathbed by tomorrow,” said a man next to the frog with an indigo pacifier hanging on his neck and face hidden by the hood of his coat.
“Well said Viper,” a spikey haired man came up from behind them, “The boss is not too happy anyways.”
“You trash either be quiet or die,” said their boss with a visible scar on the left of his face.
Tsuna almost screamed in fright when the glare of Xanxus’s landed on him. Gokudera, Ryohei, and Yamamoto were still standing unsure of the reason of their visit. Then Reborn stood up making Tsuna look at him in hysteria as he saw the gleam in his eyes.
“He didn’t…. no of course he did! This was his reason for smirking from the beginning!”
Reborn smiled again and gathered the non-fighters towards a door behind Tsuna. Lambo, Chrome, and I-Pin followed suite not wanting anything to do with it.
“What are you guys doing here?” Gokudera yelled with bombs at ready.
“Huh, don’t give me that Hurricane bomber! That brat called us here!” Squalo pointed his sword towards Tsuna.
“I-I-I didn’t call anyone!” he yelled back, “B-be-besides I don’t even know how I can reach you considering I-“
He stopped short when Xanxus pulled out his guns and turning the barrel towards him. Tsuna quickly ducked down as a blast incinerated the top of the chair he was sitting in.
“X-Xanxus what do you think-” He couldn’t finish the rest of the sentence when another blast came at him making him dodge to the side.
“Jyuudaime! Why you…” Gokudera lit his ring with dying will and put them in the many boxes around his waist, “System CAI!”
Yamamoto did the same with his ring and put it in one of the boxes. It expelled its contents and revealed to be his sword. “It looks like there’s no way around it now.”
“OH I WAS WAITING FOR AN EXTREAM CHANCE LIKE THIS AGAIN!” Ryohei said excitedly fists at ready.
“Ushishishi, this is going to be fun,” Belphegor snickered as everyone started battling.
Tsuna watched in horror as the battle started to unfold. He was about to go and hide when he felt a cold stare behind him making his head turn to meet the pissed off Xanxus, guns at ready to fire. Without another second he ran towards the door that Reborn used, tripping occasionally because of the oversized clothes on him, and down the many hallways. He looked behind him once and ran faster as Xanxus started running towards him. The expression on the Varia boss was no mistake as he ran faster. However, because he was too occupied about the person behind him, he didn’t realize the oncoming figure appearing around the corner before bumping into him.
“Itai (ouch)!” he yelled in pain as he landed on his butt and looked up. Immediately he paled realizing the person with long blue pineapple styled hair. “No way… Why is Mukuro here?!”
“Oya, if it isn’t the young Tsunayoshi-kun. It seems like you went and started a fight,” smirked the odd eyed Mukuro, “You don’t mind if I have a piece of the fun would you?” and without warning his spear appeared and swiped at Tsuna.
“Hiii! No way I’m going to do anything fun with you!” He yelled and scrambled to run. Now instead of one pissed off Varia boss he was also being chased by his mist guardian. Just when he thought it was the end he saw a door and quickly slipped. The footsteps of the two people ran past the door making him sigh in relief. “Hahaha, I got away, now I don’t have to worry,” he laughed triumphantly.
That was short lived when another cold stare behind him made him shiver.
“Hibari… Hibari…” a yellow bird tweeted as it flew around him.
Tsuna flushed to another shade of pale and sweated as he turned his head slowly. Behind him was a bedroom, and in the bed was the most powerful guardian in his Family; Hibari Kyoya with tonfas in hand, and in a really pissed off mood. Reason: because someone rudely woke him up while he was sleeping.
“If this is a nightmare, THEN I WANT TO WAKE UP!”
Within moments the mansion was filled with screams of the young boss.
