Thump! "Eep!"

Tsuna chuckled as he crouched down next to his newest student.

"Would you like to take a break?"

Kyoko rubbed her back, nodding sheepishly.

Tsuna chuckled once more as he looked over his shoulder.

"Haru-chan! You can stop for now."

Haru wiped her brow before getting out of her one-legged stance.

The brunette smiled brightly before walking over to the two.

Tsuna gave a water bottle to each of them.

::(Flashback)::

"What I am teaching you...will hurt someone."

Tsuna studied Kyoko and Haru closely.

They flinched, causing Tsuna to smile softly at them.

"But I am not teaching you to kill."

The girls relaxed noticeably.

Tsuna held a hand up.

"Firstly," He held his index finger up. "I am teaching you self-defense. Secondly," He raised his middle finger. "You must not be guilty of hurting another." Tsuna grinned. "You need to know that you're doing this to protect your friends and family."

Kyoko and Haru hesitantly nodded, gaining some confidence.

Tsuna smiled brightly.

"Let's start with balancing exercises, stretches, and some light jogging, neh?"

::(Flashback End)::

Tsuna went over to the corner of the room and tapped the wall; a compartment opened up, presenting a box of senbon and tessen.

(O.D.D.- To those of you who don't know what those are: they're needles and metal fans. (*^_^*))

The brunet took them out and walked back over to them.

Tsuna handed the needles to Kyoko, and the fans to Haru.

The brunet waved his hand to the objects.

"These will be your weapons." He chuckled as they looked at them with curiosity. "You may not know how to use them now, but you'll learn how to expertly wield them without a single problem."

Kyoko and Haru turned to look at him with a determined gaze; Tsuna smiled.

"Shall we begin?"

~~

Tsuna gazed silently at the stars in the night sky.

"You know that those aren't real, Omnivore."

The brunet chuckled and rubbed the towel in his hands over his hair; he recently took a shower.

"Maa, you spoiled the fun, Kyoya-kun."

The adult ravenet watched Tsuna walk across the holographic room; the machine producing the fake, night sky turned off.

Kyoya 'hn'ed and stepped out of Tsuna's way.

"The marshmallow-omnivore will hack into the base soon."

"And Chrome?"

"She has already provided herself with her own illusion-organs."

Tsuna nodded, placing his towel onto his shoulders; he was currently wearing a black t-shirt with navy-blue jeans.
