Chapter 11: Trouble approaches

Reborn casually walked through the corridors of the Vongola Mansion as if he owned the place. Once or twice he'd hide or fade into a shadow whenever a maid or butler passed. He huffed in annoyance, the interior layout was obviously different 400 years ago. He kept running into corners he never knew existed. Reborn sighed as he came face to face with another wall.

He knew that Tsuna and his guardians were most likely in one of the guest rooms but he couldn't be too sure. Growling in frustration, he opened a random door slowly hoping that it would be Tsuna, but was faced with another empty room

Taking his fedora off, he ran his fingers through his hair. He stopped all of a sudden and leaned against a wall and glanced around the corner of it.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. Reborn saw two men running towards him. He stilled himself completely when they paused to catch their breath just a few paces from where he was hiding. "They said the intruder went this way," The first one murmured to his partner. "Well he's obviously not here," the second one sarcastically retorted, carrying his Uzi (a gun) in both hands.

"Oi the boss said we're not allowed to kill him,"

The second one gave a side glance to his partner before smirking. "He never said anything about injuring him," The first one glanced at the gun once more before shrugging. "What did they say he looked like?" The second one raised an eyebrow at this. "Tall, black suit, yellow collared shirt, has a fedora and possibly armed," he listed. "Shouldn't be too hard to spot him,"

Reborn didn't know whether to feel complimented that they were searching for him or insulted that they had sent lackeys after him. He mused on what he should do next before giving a feral grin. Silently he stepped out and faced the two men whose backs were turned against him. Big Mistake.

"Chaos,"

Tsuna glanced at his guardians. "Who do you think it is?" Gokudera mumbled softly but loud enough for the others to hear him. Tsuna wondered among those lines too. A few minutes ago the guardians were arguing when Mukuro suddenly shushed them, while pressing his ear against the door.

The rest puzzled by his actions followed suit. They listened intently to the guards placed outside (minus Hibari…..he didn't give a damn), earlier Gokudera had tried to escape but had found their room heavily guarded. Sure with a few tricks up their sleeves they could easily escape but Tsuna decided against it. There was a high risk of getting caught, plus they barely knew the layout of the mansion. While listening Mukuro managed to piece together the confused yells as "Intruder has infiltrated the mansion,"

Tsuna wasn't bothered at first by this, why would he? He himself had assassins and spies always breaking into his mansion back in the future. Though back home they'd barely make it to the entrance gate before they'd be surrounded.

But something about this piece of news was different. His hyper intuition kept nagging him about something. It was like red lights were flashing in his head. He knew better that to ignore it, thus relayed the information to his guardians.

"Well why don't we check it out," Surprisingly it was Chrome who suggested the idea.

"Khu Fu Fu Fu I agree with Nagi,"

"YOSH I'M BORED, LET'S DO IT TO THE EXTREME,"

"Hn,"

"Ma ma beats sitting around here,"

"WAIT," Gokudera yelled at them. The guardians paused and stared at him expectantly. "YOU IDIOTS WE DON'T GO WITHOUT JUDAIME'S PERMESSION," Tsuna inwardly sulked at being forgotten. "I wonder who the boss really is." A voice in his head muttered. He mentally shrugged at this.

"Sorry Tsuna," Yamamoto grinned at him not really looking sorry at all. Gokudera looked ready to explode at this but was thankfully interrupted. "Come on Tsuna-nii, admit it your bored too," Lambo childishly commented.

"I would be lying if I said no…," he murmured quietly. The guardians (most of them) inwardly cheered at this. "But if we really are going to get out of here, we're going to have to do a few things…"

Giotto eyes twitched at the sight before him. In front of him were two men, bound at both their hands and feet. They were gagged and flat out unconscious. That wasn't the part that irritated Giotto. It was the note pinned on one of their jackets.

Nice try Primo, but you're going to have to try harder than that to catch me. –Reborn

Beside him G whistled. "Is this guy trying to pick a fight with the Vongola?" he questioned sounding slightly amused.

Giotto crumpled the note and stuffed it in his pocket. "If he wants a fight, he'll get one," he answered, eyes flashing a dangerous orange.

Reborn was getting impatient at the moment. He was on a tight schedule and didn't want to waste the limited time he had. He stared at the ticking watch that Verde had given him. He momentarily glared at the floor at the memories it brought.

"Just you wait bastard," he murmured to himself. His thoughts shifted from killing Verde in the most painful ways possible to finding his no-good student. He swore under his breath as he almost turned a corner swarming with more lackeys of Vongola Primo.

He slowly glanced around the corner, skillfully hiding his presence. 6 guards surrounding one room. Each one of them armed and likely having their guard up since his arrival. Reborn paused his thought process. "Why have so many guards for one room?" he mused. Either the room contained something highly valuable…

Reborn frowned. He knew for certain Primo wouldn't be that careless as to leave something valuable to the hands of those below him. Unless…The image a spikey haired brunette and his friends flashed in his mind. "Bingo,"

He found his no-good student.

If you asked Tsuna why he was so calm sneaking around the 400 year old Vongola mansion, he'd probably laugh at you and say that you're assumption was off the charts. He was everything but calm at the moment, but he didn't let it show. He was Vongola Decimo, Boss of the world's largest familigia.

That was what he looked like outside. Inside he was a terrified and mentally tearing his hair out. The fear he was feeling might come from the childish side that he currently gained being stuck in the past.

…Did he mention that he was sneaking around Vongola Primo's mansion?

Tsuna sighed at the migraine he could feel coming. Gokudera glanced at him as if asking if he was alright. Tsuna just sent him a reassuring smile. That seemed to convince Gokudera as he faced the front again, eyes scanning for any sign of danger.

Tsuna internally frowned. His thoughts revolving around how all this happened. And how it would affect the future. Tsuna bit his lip in worry. There was a high chance that the 1ST generation might connect the dots. He internally groaned at the reactions he would expect if they found out he was Decimo.

Though a part of him wondered what Primo a.k.a Giotto would think. Would he accept him as Decimo or regret passing on his will. Tsuna shook his head. "It shouldn't come to that," he muttered to himself. Though a part of him feared what would happen if it ever did come to that.

Reborn gripped leon tightly. Said reptile responded by transforming from a gun back into a chameleon and resting on Reborn's fedora. However he barely took notice of the reptile crawling up his arm. His dark eyes were scanning the room. The 6 bodies of the men he had just taken out were lying unconsciousness on the floor of the corridor behind him. But he barely took notice of them. His eyes were ablaze with fury. The room was empty.

….Actually it wasn't. The images of Tsuna and his guardian's forms stood before him. But Reborn wasn't fooled. The minute he set his eyes on Tsuna he knew that it wasn't him. In fact it was a mere illusion. He moved his hand through Tsuna's body. Watching as the image swayed and disappeared. He knew for a fact that this was either Chrome's or Mukuro's handiwork.

"So they escaped," he mused once again to himself. He huffed annoyed at the fact that he missed them. He was even more annoyed that he would have to hunt them again. He was positive that Tsuna wouldn't leave the mansion. His no-good student wasn't careless enough to let his guardians wander around the streets, in the mansion they had allies.

…Not exactly allies at the moment though.

"Ah well got to keep moving," Reborn thought to himself. He wouldn't admit it but he was impressed that Tsuna escaped, at least now he knows that his training hadn't gone to waste. Though playing cat and mouse was getting irritating. He watched as the rest of the images of Tsuna's guardians disappeared. "You're not going anywhere," an authoritive voice behind him commanded. Reborn turned to face his opponent.

Coal black eyes met sunset orange

Something was up. Tsuna could practically feel it in the air, his hyper intuition was buzzing. "Guys something's wrong," he softly muttered. He knew they had heard him from the way they paused for a second before pretending they hadn't heard him. But alert and ready on a whole new level.

They slowly changed positions. Hibari, Mukuro and Chrome were trailing behind Tsuna, Lambo was on his right with Ryohei on the left. Meanwhile Gokudera and Yamamoto changed their pace and were walking right in front of him. He realized they were waiting for some kind of attack from any direction and were in formation to protect their boss.

A part of him felt the familiar guilt and regret that they'd always have to protect him as guardians of the Tenth. Yet another part of him was happy that his friends were willing to stay by his side no matter what.

…Besides no one would ever hurt his family, Tsuna would make sure of that.

Clenching his fist in determination he mentally nodded to himself. A voice in his head agreed with his decision readily. Tsuna let his eyes trail among the portraits of the 1st Vongola family. His eyes stopped at a clock he stared at it for a while before stopping dead in his tracks.

His guardians paused staring at him curiously. Before following his example. "Juudaime what's wrong," Gokudera asked, staring quizzically at his boss. Tsuna eyes hardened as he continued to stare at the ancient clock ticking away.

"Hayato what's the time?" Tsuna asked voice monotone and serious. Gokudera was caught off guard by the question, plus Tsuna only used the guardians first names if something serious was about to go down. (Tsuna wouldn't admit it but he was too used to calling his guardians by their second name)

"4 o'clock," Gokudera replied after glancing at the clock. Hibari impatiently stared at Tsuna but knew better than to interrupt his boss when he was in that state. Mukuro pretended to be uninterested at the sudden change of events but kept glancing around the room. Chrome however looked thoughtfully at her boss before looking at the time, eyebrows knitted in slight confusion.

"Look closely Nagi, it's very well done after all," Chrome glanced at Mukuro in confusion, all too used to his voice in her head before looking at the time. Her eyes widened as realization struck her. She opened her mouth to warn Tsuna but was stopped by Mukuro's voice ringing in her consciousness.

"Don't bother telling Vongola, he's just playing along,"

Chrome pursed her lips in understanding. Lambo and Ryohei were glancing around in confusion at what was going on, but were keeping it well hidden.

"Come on out, I know you're there," Tsuna's voice rang out in the empty corridors. Most of the guardians were confused at this but kept their guard up waiting for whoever was about to appear.

"Nu Fu Fu Fu," a chuckle echoed in the empty halls. Suddenly the picture changed. They were no longer standing in the same corridor. "We've been going around in circles haven't we," Tsuna said staring blankly at the figure in front of him.

"Quite perceptive aren't you," Daemon smirked at Tsuna. However he didn't respond to this. "Do tell how you figured it out?" Daemon questioned the same smirk still plastered on his face. The guardians tensed at this while some getting slightly creeped out.

"The clock," Tsuna answered. "Oh?" Daemon quirked an eyebrow at this.

"It was 4:30 when we were taken to our…um rooms, but while we were walking I noticed that the time had gone backwards," Tsuna elaborated "Plus Mukuro told me," The last part was a complete lie. Mukuro hadn't informed him of the illusion placed in the corridor, but Tsuna wasn't about to explain to Daemon about his hyper intuition.

"Interesting," Daemon muttered. The smirk was still there. "Bastard what do you want?" Gokudera bluntly asked annoyed that he hadn't seen the illusion.

"The question really should be…." Daemon trailed off taking a step forward, the playful tone was no longer there.

"Just what are you doing here?" he questioned giving them a hard look.

Done! Yasssssss finally finished. WOOOOO HOOOO!
