Another Sky

chapter three

There was incredulous silence.Reborn was debating whether he should shoot this crazy kid or through an actual grenade at him.The only reason he let the wacko stay alive was because his imaginative story was getting some hilarious reactions from his student and his storm.

Gokudera Hayato had always been hot-headed.His baka student had managed to control the volatile storm to some extent but this was unfortunately(or fortunately) not a situation reborn had taught either of them to expect.

Hayato's face was incredulous for the first half of the crazy's 'life story' however,it progressively darkened till his skin resembled his flames and as soon as mr.crazy started talking about the Simon famiglia the storm had had enough.

Tsuna was slammed to the wall.Held up by his collar,he was faced with Gokudera's trademark anger that he had not faced since the day Reborn had pit them against each other in a deathmatch to be the vongola decimo when he didn't even want to be one.

"Who do you think you are fooling scum Hayato hissed,which famiglia are you from?Answer now or DIE.I am the decimo's right arm and if you think I won't kill you right fucking now to protect him-

"Hayato-kun!" Rei's hand on his shoulder was the only reason why Gokudera didn't blow up the wannabe decimo 'and who does he think he is? The decimo from another world? What kind of an idiot would believe something like that?'

"I believe you" Rei's response was deadpan as always,well,usually but his eyes were almost completely orange-an obvious effect of his sky flames.

"Yo-you do?"

"BUT JUUDAIME-

"Hayato-kun" Rei locked his-now orange-eyes to Gokudera's jade and as if by a silent signal,Gokudera stepped away from Tsuna.

Now he was looking at-no analysing-Tsuna as if sizing him up and after 2 beats Tsuna was told to continue.

Tsuna had seen what he'd like to think as the worst already and his weird situations bar was admittedly already pretty high but this was hands down the weirdest,most awkward and uncomfortable situation he had ever been in.

Reborn was reacting predictably or,well as predictable as he could be.There were only a few piercing looks and only one twitch of the right pinky finger which did make Tsuna flinch-and even that didn't go unnoticed.The most unnerving,however,was the decimo of this world(?)/alternate reality(?).

Rei Nakamura was proving to be difficult to read.He was impassive most of the time but some of his reactions,specifically when he was hurt,were over the top,that is to say he was like how Tsuna used to be and to an extent still was.There was also the interaction between him and Gokudera-kun of this world.Tsuna knew Gokudera-kun had always been extremely loyal to him but he had never had so much control over any of his guardians.

He thought with a sinking feeling 'this is the ideal decimo.' He had never been either controlled or cool like this guy is.He was always the bullied kid who had no self-confidence.Over the last 9 months he had improved exponentially thanks to reborn but his maximum was most people's average and he couldn't really help his naturally bashful nature.

After the confrontation,he somehow managed to stutter through his experiences and breathed a sigh of relief. 'At least it's done now...what they do to me now is their choice'

"Tsuna-san you say that you are the decimo in your alternate reality and that there is a friend who you won't name who is knowledgable about alternate realities and dimension and time travel"

"Hai Rei-san.I would tell you his name but in some worlds he is not in the mafia.I don't want any civilian involved if it's possible."

"So how may we help you?"

"Baka-Rei it's obvious,the hitman jumped down from his perch on the boy's shoulder,Tsuna is the decimo in the other world so he will continue his training with you."

"T-training!?" A black blur moved towards his head and on instinct Tsuna ducked to avoid it.

Reborn's eyes glinted dangerously as he landed next to Tsuna "you think just because you've come to some other reality you can slack off? If you really are my student you will train till you become the best decimo any world has seen"

"Hieeee"
