Tsuna hummed softly as he walked down the streets, ignoring the whispers; he tugged his fedora down slightly.

He stopped at the edge of a forest--he was told that someone would help guide him through the mountain range.

The brunet watched a blue butterfly flutter by; it landed on the tip of his fedora, causing him to chuckle softly.

"Tsuna-nii!  There's a butterfly in your hair!"

"Heh~?  Honto deska, Yuni-chan?"

Sunset-orange eyes grew distant at the memory; the butterfly drifted away.

Tsuna then heard a cough at the side and found a tall, ravenet standing there.

The brunet blinked in slight surprise since the man looked...familiar?

'He almost looks like Lancia-san--with no tattoos...'

Onyx eyes studied Tsuna closely.

"You're Sawada Tsunayoshi?"

The brunet smiled brightly.

"Hai~!"

The ravenet's face was still stoic as he extended a hand out to Tsuna.

"My name is Karasuma Tadaomi."

Tsuna grinned and returned the handshake.

"It's nice to meet you."

~~

Karasuma sighed as he glanced back briefly at Tsuna.

There was something...special about the brunet.

Karasuma brought his gaze back to the front and frowned internally.

'The reports on him are wrong....' His mind went through the folder he received before the brunet's arrival. '....The way he speaks and stands...it's the total opposite of the reports.'

The ravenet sighed once more as the continued to walk up the mountain; Tsuna raised an eyebrow.

"Daijobu deska, Karasuma-san?" (Are you alright, Karasuma-san?)

The man simply waved a hand in the air.

"It's nothing..."

Tsuna tilted his head slightly in curiosity.

Suddenly, he felt something alert his senses; the brunet glanced up, but he continued to walk.

...Was that...a yellow...octopus...?

Tsuna nearly ran into a tree when he saw the alien(?) dart across the sky.

'It's traveling at the speed of sound!'

Luckily, Reborn had trained the brunet to adjust his eyes to such fast projectiles.

Tsuna ran a hand over his eyes as he continued to walk behind Karasuma.

'Madness never stops to leave me alone...' The brunet smiled to himself as he dropped his hand to his side. '...But I suppose that's what makes life interesting...'

~~

Tsuna instinctively sniffed the air; the familiar smell of gunpowder assaulted his senses.

Sunset-orange eyes narrowed slightly as he followed Karasuma through the grassy field in front of a small, school-like building.

He felt eyes on him and turned his head to see a row of windows.

There was a group of high schoolers studying him; it caused Tsuna to narrow his eyes ever-so-slightly.

'Those eyes...aren't one of an innocent child's...'

Tsuna shrugged mentally--like he was one to judge.

~~

"Ah?  A new teacher?"

Tsuna blinked in slight surprise at the sight of a blonde woman in front of him.

Her baby-blue eyes studied him closely.

Tsuna took his fedora off and grinned brightly to the other.

"Chaos."

This caused Karasuma and the blonde to blink in surprise.

'Who greets people like that?'

The blonde shook off her stupor before huffing; she placed a hand onto her chest and a hand on her hip.

"Well, my name is Jelavić Irina.  And you are...?"

Tsuna smiled.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi.  It's nice to meet you..." 'She looks like those type of people, so I'll call her...' "...Jelavić-onee-sama?"

Silence...

Irina bowed her head and started to shake; Karasuma was looking at Tsuna with disbelief.

Tsuna sweated slightly.

"Ah.  Gomenasai, I thought that you would've liked to be called tha--"

Glomp!

The brunet blinked in surprise as Irina suddenly hugged him; she squealed.

"Oh~you're a keeper, Tsuna-kun!  You can just call me Onee-san by the way!"

She smiled seductively.

"Shall I give you a kiss~?"

Smooch!

Karasuma blinked in surprise when Tsuna...blocked the kiss with his hands; Tsuna sweatdropped and laughed nervously at Irina's disgruntled expression.

"M-Maa...there's no need to go that far..."

Karasuma sighed softly.

'At least I know now that this kid's not the type to lust on women....'

Luckily, Karasuma came to Tsuna's rescue and pulled Irina off of the brunet; the blonde grumbled and crossed her arms.

"You're no fun~"

Tsuna sighed softly before perking up; he heard gun shots.

He inclined his head slightly.

"...Do you have an air-rifle club?"

Karasuma sighed, kneading his forehead.

"Not exactly...."

Tsuna hummed softly glancing around the teachers' lounging room before spotting something on the ground; he crouched down and picked it up.

"Is this...a BB gun pellet?"

Karasuma blinked in slight surprise.

'He's surprisingly...perceptive.'

The ravenet narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes..."

Tsuna examined the pellet and saw that it wasn't an ordinary one; the smell and feel of it didn't remind the brunet of any type of BB gun pellet he had ever seen before.

~~

"Here's the classroom..." Tsuna sweatdropped when he heard more gunshots; Karasuma sighed. "Wait here."

The ravenet slide the door open and shut it behind him; Irina decided to latch onto Tsuna's arm.

There was some brief shouting, whispers, and...a scream of pain?

It sounded like 'ngyuuoooh'.

Tsuna sweatdropped once more.

The door slid open once more, revealing an irritated Karasuma.

"You can come in and introduce yourself now."

Tsuna smiled as he tugged his fedora down slightly as he walked into the classroom; Karasuma ripped Irina away from the brunet.

The brunet stopped at the front of the class and saw those familiar eyes...of a hitman; he smiled brightly, tipping his fedora up.

"Chaos.  My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, and you can call me Sawada-Sensei or Tsuna-Sensei.  It's nice to meet you."
