It's been so long since I last uploaded something here. It's mostly procrastinating and reviewing on my part. I have a gazillion of KHR fanfics, three-quarter of which will never be published but be assured that I will be uploading another chaptered one when I've completed writing it. I hope you enjoy this though be warned there might be crack-ish moments or plain OOC-ness.

Sunday, 11th March | 16:54:10 | Vongola Mansion, Italy

Tsuna dragged his feet, wishing that he would never have to reach the hell that was his office. When a bullet ricocheted off the wall next to him and flew towards him with impossible speed, the boy screeched and dashed towards his office because his life depended on it.

"Damn you Reborn! I'm going already!"

In the shadows, the now-adult Reborn smirked.

The brunet opened the door and slammed it close behind him, jumping forward just as the bullet flew through his door and crashed out of the window. He groaned as the glass shattered and the sawdust from the door hole in the door slowly settled on him. Reluctantly, he took a look at his desk.

Ah, there it was. The bane of his life (apart from Reborn).

Paperwork.

Even thinking about the word made him cringe.

The sheets of paper towered above him in their position on his table, and more stacks were placed around the room, as if mocking him.

"JYUUDAIME!"

He rolled over to narrowly avoid being trampled by his right-hand man as the door broke off its hinges. One would think that a few years of being in the mafia business would make Gokudera a little more mature. The boy grunted as the door fell on him.

The silveret scanned the room for his boss and his emerald eyes widened when he saw the broken window. He paled and ran over, looking out of the now open (broken) window.

"JYUUDAIME! I'LL SAVE YOU!"

Before Tsuna could react, Yamamoto came in, casually swinging his Shigure Kintoki over his shoulder and grinning all the while. His smile only grew wider when he saw his friend lying on the floor with an expression of disbelief.

"Hahaha, what are you doing on the floor, Tsuna? And why are you hiding under the door?"

The Storm Guardian whipped his head around, mouth dropping open almost comically as he observed his boss' position on the floor.

"You! What did you do to Jyuudaime?" Gokudera growled, scowling at Yamamoto.

"Ha-Hayato. Before that, do you mind getting me out of here?"

"Of course Jyuudaime!"

Tsuna heaved a sigh of relief when his friends got him out of the mess and he surveyed the damage done. He took a look at the paper surrounding his room and his eye twitched.

More paperwork.

More paperwork.

More freaking paperwork.

All the damages meant more paperwork.

The Rain Guardian took a step back when Tsuna began to reek of danger.

The two watched as Tsuna stormed out of the room.

"YOU WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN, DIDN'T YOU, REBORN? I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, I SWEAR."

Needless to say, they weren't surprised when Tsuna came back with less vigour, half-collapsing and covered with bruises.

(Because even Gokudera knew the Decimo's limits.)

The two began to help Tsuna tidy up his room and they left to find people to help repair the window and the door (after Gokudera finally stopped beating himself up for breaking the latter).

With a tired sigh, the seventeen-year-old sat on his chair only to yelp and jump in surprise. Cautiously, he picked up the box, which suspiciously resembled a Vongola box. He squinted, trying to read the long note stuck to it.

Dare Box ; To be used with caution

The aforementioned Dare Box you are looking at right now is a harmless device meant to get you to relax, lose some stress and to have fun. The maximum number of players for this game are three. The winner, at the end of the game, will receive a free ticket to Japan and spend a luxurious month of vacation at the seaside.

If you think you're ready, read on!

Tsuna looked up. A free ticket to Japan? As suspicious as it sounded, heck, he'd do anything, anything to escape from his paperwork. Nodding his head determinedly, he turned back to read the note.

Instructions : You need three players for this game. However, it is required that one of the three has to be of the opposite gender of the other two. As for the remaining two, they must be acquaintances, nothing more, nothing less.

Roll the box in turn and a dare will be thrown at the player. Each dare has a certain number of points which will be awarded when accomplished. Of course, the player has to reveal what his/her dare is to the other two. This will continue over a course of five days after which, as mentioned, the one with the most number of points will be the winner and receive a free ticket to Japan. The maximum number of points is 35.

There is only one rule (and please feel free to make your own, if necessary) : Dares cannot be performed on any of the players, meaning one another.

Enjoy!

Tsuna frowned. Everything so far hinted at something shady. It might as well have been a practical joke someone was playing on him.

Nevertheless, he decided, he would try it.

He began to write a list of people who lived in the Vongola mansion (no thanks to Reborn, he had been shipped to Italy after a forced inauguration as the Decimo) and then crossed out those who would be sent out of the vicinity for missions within the week.

Hayato X

Takeshi X

Onii-san X

Lambo

Chrome

Mukuro X

Hibari-san

He blinked as he stared at the list.

Chrome was the only female among the Guardians, so she was definitely in. Kyoko and Haru had been left in Japan to complete their education, much to their protests. That left….

Lambo and Hibari.

Lambo and Hibari.

Lambo and Hibari.

The Hibari Kyouya.

He cursed his luck. He had put his Cloud Guardian on probation for two weeks for being too destructive.

You wish, the traitorous part of his mind screamed.

Well, technically speaking, he had bribed the Cloud Guardian with the promise of having a fight with Reborn. And (without his consent) Mukuro.

The only person in the list, apart from Mukuro who seemed to fit the "acquaintances, nothing more, nothing less" was the Asian man.

While Chrome was more likely to agree, his Cloud Guardian…

Tsuna groaned.

Desperate times called for desperate measures.

Chrome opened the door to her room and peered out, face softening as she took in the figure of her boss.

"Bossu, is something the matter?"

Tsuna rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, releasing a strained laugh. "If you don't mind coming to my office first, Chrome."

The Mist Guardian gave him a curious look before nodding and exiting her room, closing the door behind her.

Tsuna was sweating at an unbelievable rate by the time they reached his office and Chrome was beginning to get worried. Had something serious happened to Bossu? Or maybe Mukuro-sama?

"Chrome," Tsuna began, looking extremely serious. The girl's eyes widened in anticipation.

"I," he took her hands gently. "I need you to play a game with me."

Chrome nearly fell over. Bossu wanted to play a game with her?

"Please," he begged, looking like a kid who desperately wanted a toy.

Feeling sorry for her boss and knowing how much he suffered everyday, she nodded. If it was a way to repay all he had done for her, accepting her into the family, she would.

"I will, Bossu."

Tsuna smiled brightly and Chrome blushed. Her Bossu looked so angelic when he smiled (not that she would be telling him anytime soon).

"Okay, just wait here Chrome. I need to go and get another person, then we can start playing."

Tsuna was almost tiptoeing as he approached the training room. He opened the door and "Hiiee"d, moving swiftly and instinctively to the left as a man flew out, crashing into the wall.

Hibari was at it again. Beating up the subordinates because they had annoyed him in his sleep.

"Omnivore, omnivore-" a little yellow bird chirped, circling around Tsuna's head before landing and nestling itself in his hair.

Tsuna smiled, patting the bird. "Hello, Hibird."

Somewhere along the way, the bird had come to accept it's master's boss.

"Hn, what are you doing here omnivore?"

"W-Well you see, Kyouya, I need you to do a little something for me."

Hibari raised an eyebrow. When Sawada Tsunayoshi said "a little something", it was highly suspicious.

"Scratch that. Take it as a replacement for your probation."

Hibari scowled. He was not on probation.

"Omnivore," he growled threateningly, walking over a fallen man and brandishing his tonfas.

"Hiiieee! Kyouya, wait! I mean, you don't want to waste the rest of your week fighting these people right?" Tsuna gestured desperately.

Hibari stopped and narrowed his eyes. "What?"

"Well, if you just follow me to my office, I'll explain the situation to you."

With a grunt, Hibari followed the man, Hibird chirping and circling around him.

Tsuna cringed when he felt the murderous intent flowing behind him, aimed right at his head and he hastened his pace.

"We're here," Tsuna gasped as he opened the door.

Chrome's mouth dropped open. The Cloud man was going to be involved in the game?

Hibari glanced at the female Mist user in the room and glared at Tsuna a little more.

"Explain."

"Well you see, Kyouya, I need you and Chrome to play a game with me."

Absolute silence.

"You what?" Hibari snarled, eye twitching. "I'll bite you to death, omnivore!"

"Wait! If you win the game," Tsuna shrieked, edging away from his enraged Cloud Guardian. "YOU CAN GO TO NAMIMORI! IT'S A FREE TICKET TO JAPAN!" (Because even though the instructions said a free ticket to Japan in a place by the seaside, Hibari would simply make his way to Namimori)

Chrome suddenly understood the situation. No one would be able to miss the stacks of paperwork spread around the room.

Hibari stopped as suddenly as he had begun to attack, eyeing the omnivore with a hint of barely noticeable suspicion and disbelief.

Hn. Namimori. Perhaps this herbivorous game would prove useful.

"So? What is this game of yours?"

Tsuna thanked the gods.

"Well you see, I found this on my seat earlier."

By the time he had finished explaining, Chrome looked a little dubious and the annoyance in Hibari's expression seemed to have increased tenfold.

"W-well. We can start this from tomorrow morning so the game will end next Monday. We'll meet in my office around eight all right?"

Chrome nodded while Tsuna watched, wincing as Hibari stalked out of the room.

So what do you guys think? After I post the next chapter, you will have the privilege of suggesting dares so look forward to it :") Reviews are appreciated!

Byakuran-san will give you marshmallows. It's a promise!
