Summary – Takeo is the younger twin. He is sporty, popular and intelligent. As far as anyone can tell he is perfect, but behind closed doors, he constantly torments and abuses his older brother, punishing him for any slight: real or imagined. But when the famous hit man, Reborn comes into the picture, secrets and truth come to light as the training of the Vongola Decimo progresses.

Disclaimer –The voices told me I owned Katekyo Hitman Reborn and I was so excited, but then reality kicked in.

At five a.m. the next morning, Tsuna could be found in the kitchen preparing two bento boxes, while his toast cooked. He tried his best to be quiet, but it didn't take long for his mother to hear noise from the kitchen, and come out.

"Tsu-kun?" She blinked sleepily, "What are you doing up this early?"

"Tsuna got invited to join the kendo club after he beat the captain in a duel," Tsuna jumped as Reborn's voice came from the stairs, "He has practice every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at six a.m."

"Oh, Tsu-kun, I'm so proud of you," Nana's smile lit up her face as she pulled her eldest into a hug. "Do you want anything special for dinner tonight? We must have a celebration."

His eyes lit up at the mention of a celebration and he sent a beseeching look towards his mother, who laughed softly at the silent plea.

"I'm guessing you want the usual then," she said and his face lit up with a smile as his toast popped. He quickly buttered it when he looked up at the clock and saw he had to leave, before putting the bentos in his bag, grabbing it and pecking his mother on the cheek to say goodbye, as he waved to Reborn on his way out the door.

By the time Takeo was woken up an hour later, Tsuna had already run many laps around the gym, done more push ups and sit ups than he cared to count and had started learning the beginner's kendo forms. He was ready to collapse. He hadn't thought kendo would be so difficult. He could barely even stand and he still had the rest of the day to get through.

"Not too bad for a beginner, but you'll get better with practice. I want you to start working on your stamina, at the moment you don't have any, but that's easy enough to fix. You are going to go for a run every day, each one a bit longer, okay?" he grinned at the dazed and exhausted expression on the smaller boy's face, "Don't worry it gets better, the first time's always the worst. Go have a shower," Mochida said as he pushed Tsuna towards the change room.

As Tsuna walked towards the shower the vice captain turned towards Mochida, "He's not suited for kendo, keeping him on the team will only damage our chances in competitions, why did you let him join?"

"To protect him from his brother. I know he isn't suited for kendo, but he doesn't have to compete. I plan to have him listed as reserve, and I have an idea for someone who might be able to teach him hand-to-hand. I just have to convince him to help." He responded, before turning to walk away.

After his shower, Tsuna's legs were jelly as he handed Mochida his bento box in thanks, before dragging himself to his classroom just before the bell rang and collapsing into his seat with his head falling on his desk. It was going to be long day.
