*BEEP* *BEEP* *BE-

*CRASH*

"Ugh! Why do I even waste money on alarms anymore?" I groan as I get out of bed.

I take a quick shower, put my hair in a high ponytail, put on my uniform, and decide to make a 'full' breakfast. I eat pancakes, bacon, and eggs and then grab my bento. I was kinda smart and set my alarm for 7 rather than 6 to give me extra time to sleep, although the alarm gets destroyed either way. Grabbing my bag and bento and slipping on my shoes, I walk out of my little house and walk to school.

A few days ago, I explained some things to Tsuna and co. and told them what True Flames are. True Flames are very powerful flames that combine all of the sky flames, earth flames, and special flames into one flame. It's even more rare than the sky flames and much more powerful. I have these flames and have trained them ever since I could walk.

Unlike the first day of school, I actually arrived on time and headed to class. The hallways were filled with whispers when I walked through which made me a bit annoyed, if I wasn't already. Some boy stood in front of me with obvious blush on his face and a group of guys started laughing.

'Jeez, can't they grow up! And what does this kid want?!'

"Do you need something kid?" I ask.

"Ummm.. Well you see..."

"Why are you crowding Herbivores? Kamikorosu!"

Hibari randomly appears and hits the poor boy with his tonfa's. Everyone goes pale and I laugh, making Hibari growl.

"Hey Kyoya, what's up?" I ask normally.

He simply goes 'hnn' and walks passed me. I snicker and continue walking to class. When I walk in, people stare again so I take my seat and pop in my ear buds. Today, I plan to just avoid Reborn, if possible, and finish all of the dumb work the teacher gives us. I tried a few more things like pushing Kyoko into Tsuna and having them be partners in class but nothing works. Tsuna just blushes like a tomato and daydreams instead of actually talking to her.

The bell rings, signaling the beginning of class and the door opens. Instead of an actual teacher walking in, Reborn pops in saying he's the teacher for today. Tsuna sweat drops, Takeshi laughs, Gokudera ignores him, and my eyebrow twitches.

'So much for avoiding him. How do they even allow a baby to teach anyway? Dumb school district.'

"Today, we are going to work on your cooperation skills and endurance. You will be put into teams of two and will go against the other teams in the class. The winners get to relax the rest of the day while the losers have to do as they say and will have extra lessons." Reborn says with his signature smirk.

Everyone starts trying to pick their partners and a few boys already asked me but I just ignored them. I already know that he's going to pick the teams, but he'd better not put me with who I think he's going to put me with!

"But first, we have a test!" He states.

Passing out what I presume to be the test, I investigate it to check if it's normal. It wasn't. It had questions about the Vongola and flames. I sigh and start answering the questions. The only reason that I'm cooperating at this point is because he probably gave the guardians and Tsuna the same 'test' so depending on their score, I can see how much they really know.

After a few minutes, Reborn collects all of the tests and tally's up the scores. Calling us up and saying our scores aloud, Gokudera and I both received 100%, Yamamoto got 60%, and Tsuna got an astonishing 2%. I took a quick peek at his paper and my assumption was correct. Reborn gave only us ones about the Mafia.

'He's the future Vongola Decimo!!! How could he fail a test about something he's about to take over?!?!'

"I will be choosing the teams now. The teams will be Takeshi and Gokudera, Kyoko and Hana, Tsuna and Toni..."

I put my head on my desk and curse Reborn. Cooperation and endurance... Tsuna might be cooperative depending on what it is but he's pretty weak so he can't endure much.

We go change into our P.E. clothes and meet outside. The first part is a tag team race around the school. One person starts out and runs around the school and then the other person runs around the school. After that, we go to the baseball field and have to hit a home run. Then we go to the benches and wait for further instructions.

"Uh, I'm not good at running." Tsuna says.

"Yeah, I know. I'll start us off to get us a head start and then you go second. And you better run the entire way or you'll look bad on front of Kyoko. No special bullets either."

He nods in agreement and finally calms down. Reborn holds up Leon, which is currently a starting gun, and shoots. As soon as it goes off, I start running and gain an immediate lead. Turning around the school, Takeshi catches up for a bit and laughs.

"Ha-ha! You're pretty fast Toni!" He says.

"You too! Wanna race to the finish!?" I propose.

His eyes get serious as we start racing each other. I win and reach the front of the school again. Pushing Tsuna forward, I watch as he stumbles but starts running. A few moments later, Takeshi tags Gokudera and he races off. Takeshi and I talk for a bit while we wait for our partners to finish and I learn that he plays baseball. We make a little wager on who can make the most home runs before Gokudera comes back.

After a few more minutes, a heavy breathing Tsuna finally comes back so I drag him to the baseball field. Takeshi and Gokudera are already finished so I make a home run and show Tsuna how to. He somehow managed to get hit by the ball in the face without being able to hit the ball once so I sigh. He really isn't good at anything other than making a fool of himself.

I drag him to the infirmary and find Dr. Shamal sitting in the chair with a perverted smile.

"Oh, hello Toni. Does someone need a check-"

I punch him before he can finish and throw Tsuna on the bed. After punching him again and literally kicking him out of the room, I place an ice pack on Tsuna's head and take a seat. Someone knocks on the door and it opens to reveal a concerned Kyoko so I come up with an idea.

"Hey Toni. Is Tsuna okay? I heard he got hit with the baseball." She asks.

"Yeah, he just needs to rest right now. Actually, could you stay with him for a bit, I'll be right back." I walk out of the room before she could reply and smirk.

'Another trial in effect. Tsuna, you better not mess this up.'

≈ Tsuna's POV ≈

"Ngh! What happened?" I groan as I try to sit up.

'All I remember is Toni trying to show me how to hit a baseball and then... oh. That's right. I missed and it hit me. But then where am I?'

"Oh, are you okay Tsuna?" I hear voice ask.

Turning to the voice, I see Kyoko and feel my cheeks get warm. My heart starts racing and I come at a loss for words.

'Was she worried about me. She looks so cute. Wait... What happened to Toni?'

"Tsuna! Tsuna!!" Kyoko says waving her hands in front of me.

"Oh, sor-sorry Kyoko." I stutter.

"It's okay. Are you sick, your face is red." She says.

At that, I can feel my face get warmer so I know that I'm a dark shade of red. I avoid eye contact with Kyoko but it's too late to hide it.

'What do I do? What do I do?! Toni, HELP ME!!!'

Suddenly, the bell rings and Kyoko says that she has to leave. When she does, I sigh in relief and curse myself. Just when I was about to lie back down on the bed, I feel a sharp pain on my head.

"STUPID SAWADA!!! YOU HAD SOME ALONE TIME WITH HER AND HAD HER WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER AND THAT'S ALL YOU DO!? SIT THERE, BLUSHING LIKE A CHERRY AND STUTTER!?!?" I hear Toni shout.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" I shout in pain.

'Her punches hurt as much as Reborn's kicks, if not, maybe more! I never thought that could be possible! At least she doesn't slap me like Lal Mirch.'

≈ Reader's POV ≈

"Either way, I have a plan! We don't have school for a few days right?" I ask to confirm.

Tsuna weakly nods and I smirk. The plan should work, the only broken chain is Sawada but with 'his' help, it should work.

♦ Time Skip to after school at Tsuna's house ♦

I already told Reborn the plan and we agreed on it. Tsuna looked like he'd been run over by an 18 wheeler when he saw that Reborn and I were actually cooperating and more so when we told him we're going somewhere tomorrow. The guardians, Kyoko, Haru, Tsuna, and I are all at Tsuna's house and Nana is really nice. She even brought us some snacks and seemed like a fun mom.

Gokudera and I already finished our homework so we're pretty much just arguing from time to time. He was so stupid as to try to bring his dynamite out so I began to burn his hair. Ryohei said something about to extreme and everyone else tried to calm us down.

"Dame-Tsuna!"

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

"Are you okay jyudaime?!"

"Hahahaha..."

"Study to the EXTREME!!!"

"Hahaha! Lambo is the greatest hitman alive! Hahaha!"

"Lambo, NO!!!"

That's the usual conversation that's going on. Tsuna getting the answer wrong and being hit by Reborn, Gokudera freaking out, Yamamoto laughing, Ryohei trying to encourage everyone, Haru also cheering Tsuna on, and Kyoko trying to keep everything happy. Tsuna gets distracted and blushes so Reborn hits him again. I'm actually starting to feel bad for him, he's a stupid love sick puppy. Other then that, Lambo keeps shouting and demanding candy while I-pin chases him around the room. If Reborn hadn't made me a guardian, I would have killed someone or left by now. Probably both...

"Tsuna, do number 10." Reborn instructs.

Tsuna tries to do it and gets it wrong. Getting tired of seeing him get hit at this point, I decided to step in and actually help the poor boss.

"Ugh, x= 25 so the answer is 175. You keep on forgetting the formula so write it down a few times so it'll come naturally." I tell him while flopping myself on the ground.

"How did you do it so quickly Toni?" Tsuna questions.

"I come from a different world Tsuna. Either way, Kyoko, Haru, I-pin, can I ask you something in the hallway?"

"Hai!" They all reply in unison.

Reborn smirks and tilts his hat. He's going to tell the guys about the 'hiking trip' while I tell the girls. When we get to the hallway, I close the door and turn to them with a serious face.

"Have you guys ever gone hiking before?" I ask.

"Yeah! Tsuna had to train so we helped!" Haru replies.

"Did you want to go hiking Toni?" Kyoko asks.

"Yeah, Reborn and I found a villa that we could go to for a few days! It looked really cool with a full size kitchen, multiple rooms, and even a small hot springs. You have to hike to get there but it looks like it's totally worth it." I propose.

They all look at each other and cheer. I tell them that we'll leave tomorrow so to meet here by lunch and they agree. I-pin says that her master said hiking is good training so she's good with it too. I already talked to Nana, Fuuta, and Bianchi and they agreed as well.

'My ends a go so it's your turn Reborn.'

≈ Reborn's POV ≈

"Tsuna, do number 10." I instruct.

Tsuna tries to do it and gets it wrong again. Completely wrong!!! I was about to hit him with a mallet before Toni spoke up.

"Ugh, x= 25 so the answer is 175. You keep on forgetting the formula so write it down a few times so it'll come naturally." Toni advises.

"How did you do it so quickly Toni?" Tsuna questions.

"I come from a different world Tsuna. Either way, Kyoko, Haru, Ipin, can I ask you both something in the hallway?" She asks.

"Hai!" They all go out into the hallway and close the door behind them.

'She actually helped him for once. She usually just rolls over or starts a conversation with someone but she stepped in. This will be an interesting mission.'

"BAKA ONNA! Thinking she knows everything." Gokudera mumbles.

"Listen up! For the next few days, we're going to be training in the mountains. Don't ask questions and just meet here tomorrow by lunch time. If you don't..."

I pull my fedora over my eyes and smirk. They all agree and decide it's better to not know. Tsuna panics and starts asking alot of questions so I kick him in the head. Lambo then pulls out a grenade and throws it at me. I turn Leon into a baseball glove and catch it, throwing it right back at him. He falls out of the window when it explodes and starts crying.

'He never learns.'

The girls come back in and Toni nods at me. I in turn smirk and think about tomorrow.

'Everyone will be training and Toni will be helping. This'll be the perfect time to put my mission into effect.'

≈ Tsuna's POV ≈

When the girls come back in, Toni and Reborn nod so I have a really bad feeling about this. This training is probably code for some impossible mission to torture us.

"Tsuna, are you excited for tomorrow?" Kyoko asks.

"Wha-what do you me-mean Kyoko?" I ask nervously.

"We're all going to a villa on the mountains! Won't it be fun?!"

'How could you guys?! What does this training include!?!? And why'd you include Kyoko?!?!'

"Well, everyone be sure to pack up and get enough sleep tonight! You'll need it~." Toni says with a smile.

Everyone nods, turning away and then she flashes a smirk. I have a really bad feeling about this, but since they dragged Kyoko into this, I'll go too. Not like I have a choice with Toni or Reborn. Let this be a nice vacation... please.
