"Wah~?" Takeshi wondered, looking outside the Chemistry lab. Tugging his two friends who was Gokudera and Ieyatsu to look as well. "It's raining outside!"

"So?" Gokudera pulled his arm away from the depressed swordsman.

"What do you mean? It clearly states that there would be no baseball practice today!" Yamamoto sulks, putting his face on the metal table.

"It's alright Yamamoto." Ieyatsu comforted his rain guardian. "Maybe it'll go away."

"..." Yamamoto didn't reply back, but just showed a forced smile. When the two seemed contented with the false smile, Yamamoto just looked away, sorrow brewing inside him.

"Is everyone here?" A man asked accompanied with a female assistant. Both looked Russian judging from their attire and attributes. The thing that made the students interested to pay attention to them was the solution they were holding on to. It emitted a soft blue color and had white smoke coming out it.

"H-Here..." A brunette said as he entered the room, he was limping on one leg and was holding his right arm. Bowing down to his teachers, he gave the excuse slip for his tardiness. "I-I tripped along the way so I-I was sent to the n-nurse office.."

"Very well..." The man spoke with a Russian accent, taking the excuse slip from the boy swiftly and pointed on a free seat which was between Hana and Belphegor. "You may take your seat."

"Tsuna...kun?" Kyoko wondered, watching as Tsuna moved slowly towards his seat. Wincing once in a while due to unnecessary movement the classmates did to him like poking and paper throwing.

"I'm fine." Tsuna mouthed to her and gave out a quick smile of reassurance to her. Tsuna then started looking around again like before, watching whether they have the confident air on them to continue on as a Cielo candidate. Tsuna wasn't shock when he saw the albino absent. Knowing that guy, he practically knows what will happen next just like the Sky Acrobaleno and him, the trained 'assassin'. Does Tsuna have a choice here? Of course not, fate loves him so much that's why.

"Today, you will receive instructions on how to create the sub-zero solution." The woman explained, everyone stared at his or her paper on the table. "This will need extreme precision and accuracy on the amount of the ingredients therefore everyone must cooperate with one another to be able to accomplish this potion within the end of the class."

'Oh?' Tsuna somewhat smiled as he watched the others looking at the formula's ingredients in curiosity. 'What a sight! The famous Russian mafia group called the grave diggers is going to be my Chemistry teachers. This will be very interesting indeed.'

Tsuna looks at the instruction manual and memorized it once his two partners started arguing on who will do the first and second task which was the most important step inside the manual. 'The trial of Tolerance and Leadership...'

"Now let's pair ourselves in the groups of two." With those words said, Tsuna was immediately crushed by the incoming students, all wanting to be the partners of his two smart seatmates. When all noise died out, Tsuna was left there with lots of footstep marks on his back and legs, looking extremely dirty.

Instead of feeling pain and misery for being rejected/trampled on by his classmates, the first thing Tsuna murmured was a soft groan within the lines of, 'Hibari-san's so going to kill me...'

"I guess I'll be your partner then." Tsuna faced the person talking to him just to see an easy-going baseball player, Yamamoto Takeshi. Takeshi was holding his hand out as a sign of friendship, a very awkward thing to do to a person you have never hang out with.

"Sei triste?" Tsuna blurted out, grabbing the offering hand for support. Takeshi, however, felt a pang of loneliness rush inside him once more when he heard Tsuna say this. Once they were both in their respective seats, Yamamoto couldn't take it anymore, he needed to know what Tsuna said that made his heart ache.

"Ne...Tsuna?"

"Huh?" Tsuna removed his concentration off the instruction papers and onto his Chemistry partner.

"What did you say?" Takeshi requested, somehow his voice sounded more like a plead than a request. Not noticing that he's actually setting out his blue flames towards the disguised assassin, making Tsuna move his chair away from him by a few millimeters without detection.

"..." Tsuna's mouth was open, but no words came out. Eye brows now furrowed, Tsuna remembered that he couldn't lie, no matter who the person is. Tsuna then tried to look away as not to mind his partner, but his left wrist was held tightly by the-said person, eyes filled with melancholy.

"Tsuna?" Yamamoto's voice echoed in Tsuna's mind as if asking for help.

"I'm asking you if you're okay." Both of them went silent when the teachers announced some minor stuff and precaution then on their signal, everyone began doing their task in creating the special potion. Tsuna secretly knew the entire potion by heart, but reconsidered, pushing Yamamoto to do it instead.

"Wow Tsuna!" Yamamoto's voice made Tsuna twitch, remembering the other strangers do the same towards him. "You seem to be really good at instructing me."

"T-That's nothing..." Tsuna kept his voice at a minimum, not wanting to attract attention with others. Yamamoto saw this action and thought that it was just another game they were playing together. "Slowly mix the formula Yamamoto. We still need to put another ingredient in it after all."

"That isn't what the instruction says." Yamamoto muttered, but did as he was ordered to. Tsuna shrugged at the question and grabbed the paper away from Yamamoto's grasp.

"Too much speed could cause an explo-" Tsuna couldn't finish his sentence as one table exploded, leaving two students shivering as if they went through a blizzard. "You see?"

"Oh~ Okay then." Yamamoto continued mixing as Tsuna poured the last substance with ease. "Are you some kind of professor or something? You don't seem so nervous about this."

"Someone taught me..." Tsuna said in a very low voice, a small smile plastered on his face. 'After I learned the basics, I graduated and became Professor Na-oshi for a couple of weeks. It was very irritating on how I accidentally chose a handsome disguise, leaving tons of women after my stuff and let's not forget about the random camera clicking...So horrible!'

"Tsuna?" Yamamoto watched with amusement as the boy inwardly cringed with disgust, Yamamoto dismissed this action and started walking to the teacher's table. "I'm passing it then."

At th same time, when Yamamoto passed the solution, the teachers finally told them to stop because of the bell ring, that's when Tsuna dragged Yamamoto outside forcibly, taking him all the way to the boy's CR.

The first thing Tsuna did was evade all the security systems put on the school plus the unwanted attention of some certain supervisors *CoughAcrobalenocough* roaming around the school. When all that was done, Tsuna found the most convenient room and entered there. Locking the door for safety and privacy, he then faced the baseball player with a worried look.

"What's wrong with Nii-san?"

"Heh?" Yamamoto didn't understand what Tsuna meant. Tilting his head slightly, he came closer to his friend's brother, he seemed very stressed out and panicked. "What do you mean?"

"Don't lie to me." Tsuna whispered coldly, urging the other occupant to move away slowly even when Yamamoto knows that Tsuna won't hurt him....Something was off.

"Nii-san wasn't always like this...Right?" Tsuna's voice cracked and decided to look down while waiting for the expected statement of the rain guardian.

"Come to think of it. Yatsu is acting quite strange nowadays..." Yamamoto remembered the sneers and insults his friend Yatsu spoke out to them about Tsuna, being worthless and buoyant about his departure away from family. 'Tsuna ain't that bad...Right?'

"Oh..." Tsuna then pulled Yamamoto once again by the arm, running all the way back to their respective classroom. 'I need more information concerning this then. Like my uncle always says; A day with ten problems is a happy world.'

Meanwhile, Yamamoto was beginning to analyze his leader's movements from these past few days and concluded that this wasn't natural....As if he was being controlled.

"Ne...Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked, finally using his feet to run with the brunette. It didn't really go in his mind how Tsuna was able to run with his heavy weight.

"Hmm?" Tsuna said, closing his eyes to sense foreign flames about to go near them if he takes a path. Deciding that they go left, Tsuna leads his friend to the right, narrowly avoiding a small blonde spartan baby, Colonnello.

"You think the rain will go away?" Yamamoto didn't know why he asked that, but he felt like Tsuna knew...Like it was the brunette's specialty.

"Yes..." Tsuna uttered, jumping down the stairs with his friend. Yamamoto grimaced, not wanting to look at the brunette anymore now that he knows that he's just like the rest.

When they arrived at their destination, Tsuna went past him and softly said four words that made Yamamoto nearly fall down with surprise.

"After classes that is..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------

History Class

"Yamamoto!" The baseball player looked at that direction with slow pace, still trying to comprehend the boy's words before he went away.

"Listen to Juudaime you baseball freak!" Once again, pulling out his trademark smiles at his best friends, Yamamoto raced towards his seat to chat with his people. He didn't know that the brunette he was with awhile ago was staring at him with curious eyes.

'Yamamoto Takeshi, the son of one of the wielders of the Shigure Soen Ryu sword style; Yamamoto Tsuyoshi.' Tsuna chanted to himself, turning his attention away from the man as depression consume him. 'I can not interfere....They are part of Nii-san's property, not mine.'

Tsuna yawned, scanning around the whole area to sense the next teacher he will face. When he finally found the incoming personal, Tsuna was surprised why he wasn't able to determine what the person's flame was, in fact, Tsuna guessed that this person didn't even own a flame, but that only meant one thing....And Tsuna knew who this person was. 'Signore Sorridi!' Tsuna pulled his bag out with haste. 'You think I didn't come unprepared Uncle?' Scavenging inside his bag until he found a sole iron clover necklace. 'Guess again~' Pulling it out, Tsuna wore it on his neck.

'Let's see how you like me now, Checker team?'

"Hello everyone~!" A very creepy tone of cheeriness was heard, letting Tsuna smile at the person along with the other students. At first glance, you would think that the man in front of you was formal, wearing a suit with checkered gloves, tie and hat in addition that his black hair was gelled to look sleek. If only you didn't see the really cheeky grin on his face, you could've given him full respect. "Supposedly, Checkerface-sama would be here, but because of some difficulties...I will take his place instead. I am your substitute for your substitute teacher, Tsunomichi."

"Wait! Why would he substitute for the substitute anyways?"

"Yeah! He could just substitute the main one instead of mentioning the other one."

"Guys...I think he's just fooling us."

"Who's Checkerface?"

"..." Tsuna averted his gaze towards the sideways of the classroom, not surprised to see the shocked expressions of the Acrobalenos (Emphasizing Reborn's wide Onyx eyes). Tsuna then unconsciously held the small tattoo he got on his chest, pleading for forgiveness in his mind towards the babies. 'I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier but don't worry, I now have a plan to save your lives...I just need to wait for that someone to come.'

"Ho ho ho~!" The man covered his mouth, laughing as if he heard a funny joke. "Now~ What was I suppose to teach you again~?"

Tsuna's left eye twitch very minimally and sunk down on his chair. 'He'll pull his right checker glove off his hand and then he would start looking at the notes he wrote there which he could've made in the morning...'

Unfortunately, the brunette was right. Tsunomichi did the exact thing Tsuna mentioned earlier and started reading, muttering in the lines of : "Give the P test...What the willy-nilly do I do with a P anyway? Hm..."

Tsuna didn't want to look smart, he didn't want to break his hard-earned title just yet, but it felt so tempting....He was surrounded by a bunch of happy-go-lucky people so why can't he at least bang his head on the wall for a number of times? He won't die from it, just a little concussion will form on his head.

"Oh!" Tsunomichi laughed it off. Putting his gloves back on, he proudly announces the great news he discovered written on his whole hand. "We'll have an open forum for today, discussing about each other's problems~!"

"Yes!!"

"Finally! No studying session!!"

"Lady Luck came to us at last!!"

While everyone was cheering in success, there was just one boy who didn't agree with them....Hidden in the crowd, this person was Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"Oh god no..." Tsuna let out, (due to the noise no one can hear his comment) wishing that what he heard from the teacher's mouth is proven false. 'Using my unapparent ability to not lie to your advantages, you know me too well, Uncle.'

"So off we go~!" Everyone stood up, excitement already in the air. "Form the cir-cle and let's have a friendly chat~!"

"Ain't this exciting?" Tsuna heard Kyoko say to his brother currently blushing from the mere sight of his crush. "We finally get the time to know each other better!"

"Juudaime already has enough friends. Right Juudaime?"

If Tsuna could make his imagination come true, the albino would probably have puppy ears on his head.

"Uhmm...Yeah..."

Tsuna pulled his armchair towards the sides, however, he was still listening in on what his brother and his group are saying to each other.

"Is there a problem Ieyatsu?"

Tsuna didn't know why Yamamoto was asking that question since he, himself, have enough problems to hold on to. 'Reckless Yamamoto...Just like your dad too.'

"Before we begin, I have one itsy-bitsy-small question to ask you..." Everyone faced at their teacher who looked around with a puzzled expression. "Have you seen Checkerface-sama's child? I heard that he was running away from a mob of fan girls here."

"How does he look like?"

"He must be hot~!"

"Or cute!"

"Why are you asking?" Tsuna was doodling when he heard his brother's voice, not really minding them so he won't gain useless attention.

"Checkerface-sama is really worried of him since he still can't master everything like hitting and all that." Tsuna huffed, annoyed that his past friend is actually revealing things that no one should know.

"What's his name?!"

"Yeah! Tell us his name!"

"Hmmm...." Tsuna, without moving his head, looked up at 'Tsunomichi'. Waiting for him to answer. "Yoshi I think..."

'I can't seem to remove that memory, but at least I can let him forget for now...' Tsuna once again held his pencil out and continued with his doodle, a 3D-version of his family that is (Nana, Iemitsu, Ieyatsu and of course, him)

"You start first Vongola."

"Why are you calling me Vongola?! I'm Ieyatsu. Ie-ya-tsu!"

"Okey-dokey Von-go-la~!"

"Arghh!!"

"Juudaime! I'll take care of him for you!"

"Noo! Gokudera-kun! Don't!"

"Ma~ ma~ Gokudera! You can't pull your toys in class now can you?"

"Let go! Baseball freak!"

'How many minutes do I have left before P.E.?' Tsuna checks using his unique watch hidden on his sleeves. 'Ten minutes left before my murder....Fantastic!'

Tsuna kept his watch skillfully as he looked over the window, featuring the dark clouds and piercing rain drops crashing on the glass. Oddly, Tsuna heard himself singing a very cheesy song he learned from his mother on his second birthday.

"Rain rain..Go away~ Come back on some~" Tsuna didn't know why he thought of that, but it felt so nostalgic and...Ironic. 'Would the rain really hear your pleas? And if it did, would the rain stop just for your happiness?'

"Other..Days.." The last words were spoken off-key as if the brunette was afraid...Afraid to halt the rain from pouring down on earth.

"Dame-Tsuna!!"

Tsuna, off guard, fell down on his seat. Looking around at the class in full-alert mode.

"He's my-no-our problem!" The boy started, getting support from his friends and allies. "Always ruining our standards in class since childhood. He must've come back for vengeance!" He then pointed at the primary suspect of his pain, which didn't seem to hear him, removing the dirt of his pants.

'It's just Kaneda Osamu...Not some rabid mafioso.' As Tsuna dusted his pants, he didn't notice the Osamu look at him with a glare, wanting him to talk back so he could insult him more and prove his point.

"Sawada-san~?" Tsunomichi said, getting the brunette's attention. "Do you have anything to say?"

"..." Tsuna looked passive, shaking his head like a mute and went back to his seat. 'The necklace can conceal my familiar features to the person, but not my voice...I'll have to work on that.'

"Well well well! Since you won't chirp, It's your turn Sawada-san." Tsuna covered his face using his hands while shaking his head. Others might think that Tsuna's just embarrassed, but in reality, he's doing some voice exercise for his vocal to change.

"Why did you call my brother with a Sawada then? He's also part Von-uf!" His brother was interrupted, when out of nowhere, one piece of chalk hit him straight on the jaw.

"Dame-Yatsu..." A soft squeaky voice murmured after that. The teacher didn't notice this and continued taunting the shy child.

"Please don't be a party pooper Sawada-san~!"

Removing his hands, Tsuna stood up and opened his mouth yet not a sound was heard.

"Just tell us your problem so that everyone can understand you~"

Tsuna, knowing that he can't speak, brain stormed at once on what to say. 'I can't think of anything!!'

"Sawada-san~? Did the cat got your tongue?"

"I love Kyoko-chan!" Tsuna declared, eyes widening on what he just confessed. 'Wait...Huh?!'

"WHHAATT?!!!" Everyone except Tsunomichi, the girl herself and the spies outside screamed, shocked as to hear their stupid classmate admit his feelings to the president.

"That..was...Interesting.." Tsunomichi said though not really impressed. "How is it related to your performance at school lover boy?"

"S-She's the nicest girl I met..." Tsuna couldn't stop his mouth from talking. 'Is this really true? In that case...I have to start running for my life after this.'

Already sensing the danger around him by seeing all the girl's suitors look at him evilly including his brother, Tsuna still continued to speak, wishing the bell to stop him from saying anything more. "I-I can't f-focus on my-"

*DING DINg DIng Ding*

"Bye bye~!" Tsunomichi waved, rushing outside as fast as his feet can carry him before the babies ambush him. Tsuna too ran outside with great speed, narrowly dodging the supposed-hit for him by his 'beloved' classmates.

Having one thing in mind, Tsuna went forward, tripping along the way by some expected pebbles on the corridors.

'To the grave-I-mean Gym!!'

CHAPTER END

(EXTRA SCENES...)

A word of knowledge from Professor Borin...

Borin: Ciaossu~

Tsuna: What are you doing Reborn?

Borin: I will now tell you the meaning of what Dame-Tsuna said to Yamamoto.

Tsuna: Reborn?

Borin: Sei triste is an Italian question...

Tsuna: Why are you even doing this? They can just search online for a translatio-

(Tsuna gets pawned by Professor Borin through the use of a green hammer)

Tsuna: .... (x_x)

Borin: As I was saying, the question Sei triste? means Are you sad? in English. Now that that's over... (Professor Borin drags Tsuna by the foot) Ciao ciao~!
