Part two: Let the Training Begins!!!!

Iratella was online on her laptop in bed doing her assignments and chatting with her cousins in Italy. It was a really long time since she met them, and the last time that she met them was three years ago when she and her whole family went back to Italy for a special meeting held by the 9th Vongola Sky Boss. Anime theme songs were playing from the speakers of her laptop at a moderate volume. She didn't want to disturb her brother who was busy studying for his upcoming exams.

When she navigated back to her Skype page, she recieved a video call from Dino. With a extremely happy smile, she responded to the call.

When she clicked the tab, the video call session began, and Dino's face popped onto the screen.

"Hi there, my princess, it's been a while~" Dino gave a smile to her.

"Hey, haha, sorry for not being able to contact you for quite a while. So much homeworks were thrown at me that I couldn't actually find the time to call you. But at least I dropped by a few text messages." Iratella just smiled back shyly at Dino. Truth to be told, she misses him a lot. They've met just a few weeks ago, but she's missing him already.

"I recieved them. Thanks a lot. It really eased some of my desire to see you again." Dino gave her the playful smile.

"Really? It's good then." Iratella sighed with relief.

"So, how's school life lately? Besides the hectic schedule part. We all know that, don't we?" Dino laughed. Iratella laughed along.

"Well....yeah, besides the hectic-with-studies part, we also recieved the news that our school sports day is in two months time. Everyone was so excited about it!!" Iratella clapped her hands in delight.

"I see...so I guess that the only one who isn't so happy about it is Tsuna, right? I can tell without even you having to tell me." Dino said with a completely relaxed tone.

"Yup. He was totally freaking out over it. So...the best part - Reborn actually started a special training programme for all of us to prepare ourselves for the sports day. And guess what, it's gonna begin tomorrow~ I personally think it's adding up to my schedule." Iratella rubbed her hair until it was a little messy.

"Oh, don't take it too hard. I guess he could let you off since you trained with him before when you were younger, right? So he knows that you know how will the training be and assumes that you have no problem. You are always doing your best no matter what, and that's all that counts. Dang, if only I can touch you now...and yet we are thousands of miles apart." Dino sighed. He really misses her as well.

"Haha, it's okay...we'll see each other again soon, okay?" Iratella smiled and tilted her head slightly to the right, indicating that everything will be okay.

"Okay, dear...I'll see you soon...maybe I'll take the day off to come for your school's sports day. I wanna give support to you, to Tsuna and to all the Vongola kids. How does that sound?" Dino suggested.

"Ara? Didn't you said before that you are going to come to see my parents the week after next week?" Iratella nudged him with that reminder.

"Oh, yeah...I forgot that for a little while there...okay then~it may be morning here in Italy, but it's at night there now in Japan, so...buona notte, my princess." Dino smiled.

"Buona notte, il mio tesoro." Iratella gave her signature smile to him before cutting off the line of their call. She leaned back on her chair and sighed long. "It's gonna be a really long day tomorrow..and the days ahead....I don't know whether all of us can do this...not to mention Tsuna...and me...after staying up late for so many nights to finish up my homeworks AND paperworks from the Catena and DeVastella headquarters...I can see myself skipping literally the whole training session..." with a heavy sigh, she closed her laptop and placed it on her desk before snuggling herself in bed with a bolster in her arms. She hugged the bolster tight and sighed again. "Being a full time student and a life time destined mafia is never easy..." she stared at the ceiling until she slowly drifted off to sleep....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meantime in Tsuna's house, Tsuna was still worried sick although the sports day was still two months away. He tried to sleep, but he can't. He stared into the blank space for a very long time. He then turned to see Reborn who was sleeping soundly with a bubble expanding and contracting from his nose.

"He said that as if it was nothing...how can he say those words boldly without even thinking how I would feel about this whole training programme?? Truth to be told, he IS a baby...a REALLY tough baby to be handled...I wonder who was his mother....." Tsuna began to freak out as he spoke to himself. He was thinking of all the possible activities that is to be carried out by Reborn for the training programme.

"AHHH!!!! I can't think of any other possibilities on what is he going to do to torture me even more!!!! All I know is that he's gonna make me suffer more than I did during all our previous trainings...gyahhh!!!! Reborn...how could you be sleeping at a time like this...I really need your help and advice...oh wait, you're the one who's gonna carry out the training programme, right? So why the heck should I be asking you?? I should ask someone else instead...dammit, why should it be at night when I needed Iratella's help the most..." he scruffled his hair until it was very messy. He turned to look at his alarm clock. The time indicated was 11pm. He lay back down on bed feeling very uneasy.

"Should I call her then...? She could be sleeping now...I've seen how tired she was lately...she even brought her family's work stuff to school to complete them...she is really a very busy mafia student..." Tsuna flashed back on how Iratella was during school time on that day. "Ah well...I'd still be meeting her again tomorrow anyway...so what's the rush...better get a good night rest before we get beaten up by Reborn tomorrow." Tsuna laid back down on his pillow and drifted off to sleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next morning in school, Hanatsu, Iratella, Kaede and Michiru walked into the school together.

"You know, I think I'm kinda excited to train with Reborn! I've never been trained by him before....this is kinda like a lucky opportunity for me to be trained under the best hitman in history!!!!" Hanatsu clapped her hands delightly as she looked at Iratella, Kaede and Michiru.

"I don't know...training or not training under Reborn, we're still gonna have to do training for sports day. It doesn't make any difference, does it?" Kaede looked at her excited Sky Boss.

"Of course it does!!! Reborn, as I said, is the best hitman in history!! There's no other experienced marksmen who can kill as accurately as him!!!! And he's also one of the historical Arcobalenos!! How could one not be excited to be trained by him??" Hanatsu clinged onto Iratella's right arm.

"Well...his training was okay...it wasn't all that intense too...it was...okay...and of course really worth the time..."Iratella just continued to walk as she dragged her clingy Sky Boss along with her.

"Ahh, come on...his training should have been more intense than how you are describing, right? After how we've seen him train Tsuna for the fight against Xanxus~" Hanatsu was seriously dying to know the truth on Reborn's way of training.

"I don't give a damn on how his training differs from normal training programmes. All I know is that it's worthless and a complete waste of my time." Michiru smirked.

"Eeeee!!!!!" Hanatsu clinged onto Iratella even tighter.

"U-uh...h-hello..???? S-s-s-stop hanging...onto...m-m-m-my neck.......I'm..choking...!!!!!" Iratella was choking for air as Hanatsu was still clinging onto Iratella's neck. "Lemme go now!!!!"

"Oh, gomen gomen gomen!!!!" Hanatsu quickly released her grasp of her hands. Iratella fell OTL on the ground, gasping for air.

"Hmph...childish as ever...." Michiru stopped and stared at Hanatsu.

"Eeeee!!!!!!!" Hanatsu wanted to cling onto Kaede, but Kaede pushed Hanatsu away before she could even cling onto her. "Heyy!!! Now who should cover me???"

"What are you doing early in the morning? Creating a lot of commotion over such a useless thing." A familiar, cold voice appeared out of no where.

"H-Hibari-senpai!!! Eeeee!!! Now there's double the scariness!!!!" Hanatsu had no where to run to, so she just froze at her position. The students around them ran away quickly when they saw Hibari approaching. His Hibird fluttered down and landed on his right shoulder. Kusakabe followed behind him.

"Oh great..I'm involving myself in a disciplinary problem which I never done...." Kaede facepalmed after she realized what was the situation.

"Creating a commotion in the school ground is strictly prohibited. Are you challenging the rules? Coz if you are, I shall bite you all to death." Hibari gave his death stare. Hanatsu froze ice-cold stiff with that stare. She didn't move an inch at all.

"K-Kyoya...it's nothing....we're just....*cough* discussing something...important...*coughs*" Iratella was still trying to get her breathing right as she spoke. She gently punched her chest a few times as she spoke to Hibari.

"What happened to you?" Hibari came closer to Iratella, but he didn't touch her, helped her or inspected her, but his tone was a softer than when he was talking to Hanatsu, meaning that he was concerned of her condition.

"I-I'm fine....just a little *cough* minor accident.....just now.....*cough cough*" Iratella got back up to her feet.

"Hmm....make sure you don't get yourself strangled by your boss again, and make sure she controls her behavior in public next time." Hibari gave a pat on Iratella's shoulder. She replied to him by giving him a smile. He then walked away from the spot. Iratella then gave a slight bow to Kusakabe before he left. He also gave a bow to her before catching up with Hibari.

"Oh. My. Goshhhh............THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR LIVES!!!!!" Hanatsu wanted to cling onto Iratella again. "How do you always manage to talk to him with ease???"

"Hey, no more clinging onto my neck  again!!! I'm going to get a neckache and asthma soon if you cling onto me again! And heck, I don't have asthma~" Iratella said with her serious look but playful tone.

"G-gomen na, Ira-chan.....it's just because you're easier to cling onto rather than the other two....blekk..." Hanatsu showed her tongue to Kaede and Michiru.

"Heck yea, you're childish. Can I say to everyone that I have never known you for the rest of my life?" Kaede began to walk away.

"Whatever. This atmosphere is too childish for me to be in." Michiru also began to walk away.

"You know, Hana, sometimes I wonder to myself whether they are working for DeVastella or not." Iratella walked together with Hanatsu.

"Yes, I begin to wonder that as well...." both of them walked into class together.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In class, Tsuna was discussing with Yamamoto and Gokudera on Reborn's training programme.

"So...what do you guys think? Are both of you gonna follow this training programme?" Tsuna asked.

"Of course, juudaime!!! I've always wanted to carry out training programmes with you!!!" Gokudera stood straight up tall and stated his mind with confidence.

"Hahahah~~since it has been a while since I last played baseball, so I think this is the best way to keep myself fit." Yamamoto said in his cheerful tone.

"Why can't I be a little more optimistic like you......" Tsuna sighed heavily.

"Good morning, Tsuna-kun." Kyoko came to his place with her sweet smile. That smile made Tsuna blushed.

"K-Kyoko-chan....good morning to you too~" Tsuna looked at Kyoko with a shy smile.

"I heard that you were going to have a training programme with Reborn-chan, right?" Kyoko smiled as she said.

"Y-yes...we're starting today..." Tsuna was still blushing. Man, it was an awkward moment for him.

"I see...good luck then!!! Good luck to all of you!!!" Kyoko gave a pat on his shoulder.

"Y-yes!!!! We'll do our very best!!!!" Tsuna said with full confidence. Then Kyoko smiled and went back to her seat to continue her conversation with Hana.

“Someone’s feeling happy today~” Hanatsu walked into the class room with Iratella, Kaede and Michiru. They were all quite early today to discuss on Reborn’s training programme.


“Ah, good morning, guys.” Tsuna smiled weakly.

“You mean, girls?” Michiru gave him her death glare that made him froze with fear.

“Y-yes……” Tsuna was OTL-ing in his mind. It was pretty scary to know that there’s another vicious person in his life besides Hibari, Mukuro and Xanxus.

“Why are you girls constantly coming over to our school? Don’t you guys have class?” Gokudera was annoyed.

“We’re on holiday, you dweeb, to celebrate our school’s anniversary.” Kaede shot back at him.

“Hey guys~” Iratella came over to their seats as well and stood beside Tsuna.

“I-Iratella-san, what happened to you? You look very pale.” Tsuna was surprised to see Iratella’s face to be that pale. Usually she would appear in school with full of energy.

“Good that you noticed. It was caused by my work load which you know since a few days ago. It was also caused by someone just now who nearly made me arrange my own funeral in the school’s front compound. What delight, eh?” Iratella smirked sarcastically.

“Hey, you know it wasn’t my fault, okay? Who asked those two to be really scary??” Hanatsu shows her pitiful face.

“Okay, I seriously need the fastest ticket to go back to Italy like, now…” Iratella face palmed. She was really exhausted until she had no mood to even talk properly.

“Come one, peeps. You all saw how she was working lately. She had tons of work thrown in from Vongola, DeVastella, Catena and sometimes Chiavorone and Varia. She could’ve died last night.” Kaede patted Iratella’s shoulders as she said that. She can be very nice and a good counselor at times and this was one of the rare times that she is super nice.

“Darn those people who doesn’t know how to do their own work.” Michiru just smirked.

“It’s totally okay, guys. I’m used to it. They’re just paperwork, not missions. Besides, I rarely have missions nowadays so it doesn’t really make me ‘die’ YET.” Iratella said with a weak smile.

“Don’t say that now, Iratella. After this, we’ll be officially starting the training programme. A HARSH training programme by Reborn!! By then, you will be so worn out, you won’t even know it.” Tsuna gave the advice in hoping that Iratella would skip the training programme so she doesn’t have to tire herself out with workload, training and studies.

“Yeah. We’ll talk to Reborn about this. Besides, didn’t you say that you’ve trained under him before? So I think it won’t be much of a problem if you skip this training. You are arranging your funeral if you are to follow this training programme.” Surprisingly, Gokudera was giving wonderful advice which didn’t include hitting someone with a book. And also, obviously he was doing that to show off in front of Kaede, showing her that he can be a really good advisor at times like this. He’s just having a really big crush on her.

“Thank you, guys. But seriously….” Iratella tried to convince them to let her join the training programme.

“But if you don’t want to, then it’s fine with me. You have been doing a lot of work lately.” The familiar baby voice came out of no where.

“R-Reborn!! What are you doing here during the school hours??” Tsuna tried to grab Reborn, and when he did, Reborn gave him a kick in the abdomen. “Owww!!!! That hurts….” Tsuna landed OTL on the ground.

“It is still quite early and there are not so much people in school, so I decided to come to check on you guys before the training.” Reborn came out of his hiding place – disguised as the Olympic coach.

“Reborn! There is like, 8 hours before our training begins!!! Can you not torture us mentally before we could even begin our first day of our training?” Tsuna begged on his knees.

“No can do because you do not have much works to do as compared to Iratella. She has been helping out a lot lately and she have received paper works from the main headquarters of Vongola, DeVastella, Catena, Chiavorone, Varia and lots more of the other families in Italy.” Reborn explained.

“But…why is all the paper works sent to her? Don’t they have people to do it?” Tsuna was confused on how things were going nowadays.

“The Catena family is an important key link to every mafia family in this world as her family is under the special protection of Vongola. Being a special family to Vongola, they knew many about the mafia world, so they know exactly what to do with the paper works and stuff. But since now is the spring season, many activities have come in action so we have lots of work to deal with. Indeed you have seen Iratella working a lot, but not only her. Even her parents were doing work as well. But no fret, everyone is doing their work back in Italy, it’s just that work load had increased a lot in the past two weeks.” Reborn explained again.

“And as I said, you don’t have to worry about me over this stuff, okay? I will be fine. This is one of the trials that I have to face if I were to really become the next Sky Boss of my family.” Iratella gave a relaxed smile just to take some pressure of her mind.

“Wow…what great words….”Hanatsu sniffed.

“You have nothing to worry about since you are already a Sky Ace!!!” Kaede stared at Hanatsu.

“Okay…..maybe not the best thing to say right now…” Hanatsu just slowly looked away.

“So I shall see you this evening. Ciao ciao~” Reborn then ran off to disappear.

“So……what are we gonna do now?” Gokudera sat back down on his chair and sighed.

“Guess we’ll just have to go with it….” Tsuna finally made up his mind. His final decision was playing in his head and giving him the needed support to make him feel more confident to go through the training programme.

Namimori Sports Day (part one)

Title: Namimori Sports Day
From: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Timeline: Present day

Part one: EEEEE!!!! Do I really have to do it????

"I'm seriously serious!!! I HAVE been seeing him always, but heck!!! I'm not dating him!!!!" Iratella sounded really upset.

"Oh, come on, Yukino~~ how can the both of you not be dating?? He's always so....not violent around you, don't you notice that???? We saw it with our own eyes!!!!!!" one of their classmates, Erika, was trying to persuade Iratella to spill the truth.

"Who in their right mind would actually date Hibari-senpai?? He's just extra concerned about Yuki-chan when she sprained her leg the other day~~ " Hanatsu tried her level best to protect the reputation of her precious lightning guardian.

Gokudera, Yamamoto and Tsuna came over to the DeVa's table to check out what was all the commotion about.

"Yo, minna, what's kickin' here?" Yamamoto said with his usual cheerful tone as he came over and gave a pat on Iratella's shoulder.

"Who should be kicked, you mean?" Michiru gave a cold stare at Yamamoto. But instead of feeling afraid, Yamamoto just gave a laugh.

"Hahahahh!!!!!! I don't play soccer~" Yamamoto gave an answer that was completely unconnected with his first question. The rest of 'em just looked at him with a drop of cold sweat.

"Erika thinks that Yuki-chan and Hibari-senpai are dating just because the other day they saw how Hibari-senpai helped Yuki-chan when she sprained her leg." Hanatsu explained with her ultimately convincing voice, hoping that they would back up for Iratella.

"Ah....Erika, we all know how Hibari-senpai hates to mix with people, right? He's just really concerned about Yukino-san~~" Tsuna knew very well on how Hibari treats people as he is, unfortunately, the most experienced one in knowing how scary Hibari can be.

"That's because we are part of the maf- ouch!!!!" Gokudera screamed.

"Hey, not here, not now, remember?" Iratella pinched Gokudera's hand.

"Ah, sorry....got a lil carried away....>w<" Gokudera tried to act innocent.

"Huh?? What was that all about??" Erika was confused about the conversation between Gokudera and Iratella.

"Do you really have to ask that?? Seriously, you're annoying...." Kaede who was busy indulging herself into her fantasy novel world finally cracked because she couldn't concentrate properly with Erika's countless questions for Iratella since the beginning of the day.

" *sigh* I'll really have to ask my parents to bring me back to Italy now......." Iratella just sighed.

"Hey, guys!!! We have some news for you from the office!!!!" Kyoko came back into the classroom looking extra excited along with Hana, who looked neutral, but you can tell that she's happy as well.

" The date for our school's annual sports day has been decided!!! It's gonna be...."

Hana and Kyoko annouced together, "17 April!!!!"

"WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!" The whole class exclaimed with exciment.

"Oh, noes...that's like only two months away~~~~" Tsuna began to worry. Sports isn't always his thing, as we all know.

Then, suddenly their mathematics teacher walked in.

"Yes, class, it will be on the 17 April. I can see that you are all excited." Mr. Honda was happy to see that they were all pumped up for the school's sports day.

"Not me!!!!" Tsuna said to himself in monologue.

"Oh, yay!!! I have been waiting for this day every year!!!" Iratella was excited for sports day.

"Easy for you to say!! You are our class's best sprinter!!" Tsuna quickly turned at Iratella with an extremely devastated face.

Iratella wasn't exactly sure whether she agrees with that statement, but she is actually very good in sprint. But, she isn't really active in sports as in school, she joins the dance club, choir club and the student council.

"Oh, one more thing...what are the four of you doing in here? Aren't you high school students??" the teacher asked.

"Uhh...we are...uhh...doing...a....survey~ yeah, a survey~ for our school project~ " Iratella tried to explain.

:Oh, really..? Well...that's a new type of project...very well...you can stay in here~ now, open your text books~~" the teacher just carried on teaching.

The four of them sighed with relief.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

After school, Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Iratella, Hanatsu, Kaede and Michiru stayed back for a little while to discuss on the school sports day. Tsuna was seriously freaking out now.

"What am I supposed to do??? This year, everyone is required to join the event!!!! You know how bad am I in sports, right???" Tsuna was walking in circles restlessly.

"Relax, juudaime!!!! I'm sure with your strong will as a boss, you can do anything!!! Besides, you're the 10th boss of Vongola, you can do anything!!!" Gokudera tried to cheer Tsuna up with a smile and gave Tsuna a pat on his shoulder. He sounded convincing, but that didn't help to calm Tsuna down.

"Oh, noes....what am I supposed to do....what am I supposed to do????" Tsuna began to freak out. He pulled his hair, showing his devastated facial expression.

"Don't worry, Tsuna. It will be very easy!!!!! You got the easiest event of all!!!!" Yamamoto gave a very convincing smile to Tsuna, but it still didn't managed to calm him down. Instead, he became even more worried.

"Ah....it WILL be easy for you guys~~you know how I suck it sports......I suck at it so much....I JUST CAN'T COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY KNOWING THAT I'LL EMBARESS MYSELF IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE SCHOOL!!! In front of Kyoko, especially....." Tsuna's voice trailed off softly and stares at the ground. He can imagine himself being embarressed in front of the whole school by falling flat on his face while he was running. He could even imagine how KYOKO would be laughing at him when he falls. "AHHH!!!!! It's just...TOO HARD for me to even think that I could actually take part in this year's sports day!!!!!!" Tsuna rubbed his messy hair even more.

"Come on, it's not gonna be that bad......or is it???" Hanatsu looked at Tsuna for one second, and turned to Yamamoto at the next.

"Oh, you wouldn't wanna know what happened during my elementary school years......hey, do you know tha-" Tsuna tried to shift their attention.

"Obviously, he's just running away from his sad, sad past~~" Michiru smirked at Tsuna.

"EEEEEE!!!!!!!!" The way Michiru glared at him just freaked him out the way Hibari does. No wonder they're assumed as siblings, he thought to himself.

Iratella couldn't stand any longer with the way they are trying to persuade Tsuna to participate in the sports day. "Oh, you guys are just plain useless......don't worry, Tsuna. We WILL  help you in your training, okay? And this time, EVERYONE will help you out." Iratella turned around at the rest of them as she finished her sentence. Sensing how serious Iratella was when she stated what's in her mind, they all kept quiet and pretended as if nothing happened. Kaede just sighed and continued to read her book that she started earlier during the day.

"Really??" Tsuna had sparkles in his eyes when he said that, proving that Iratella was just THAT convincing.

"It's really so nice to know that Iratella has the power to calm people's heart and convince them easily. Maybe that's how she always manages to talk with Xanxus and Hibari-senpai, without ever having to worry that she will be beaten up." Tsuna said to himself. He really feels so comfortable around her. But, in reality, he knows how much he still loves Kyoko and how much Dino and Iratella loves each other.

"So, you guys will definitely help to train Tsuna, right?" Iratella was hoping that everyone would help out.

"This sounds interesting! I think I should help out too!!" A familiar baby voice appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh, finally! Just when I was hoping for you to save me from this mess~" Iratella sighed with relief.

"Ciaossu!!" Reborn jumped into the window, clad in a blue sweater and sweatpants. Around his neck was a green whistle (Leon).

"R-Reborn!!! You were listening all this while?? And why are you dressed like some Olympic trainer???" Tsuna was definitely shocked (again) to see Reborn appearing out of nowhere, again.

"After hearing your little debate and Iratella's hard attempt to convince you guys-"

"Hey!!! How come you're supporting her?? Gokudera felt intimidated by Reborn's preferences to support Iratella rather than supporting Gokudera.

And without noticing, Gokudera's head recieved a big fan hit from Reborn.

"I decided to carry out a full training programme for Tsuna and all of you to prepare everyone for the upcoming sports day. Since it's your last year in junior high, you all should do your level best. And also, it's Tsuna's last year to leave a good impression in everyone, and also to erase his bad experience from everyone's memory." Reborn sounded very sacarstic. His words stabbed Tsuna right through his heart.

"Hmm....I seriously wonder what happened in his elementary school years......" Hanatsu began to wonders. "I bet you should know, right, Tella-chan? You can read people's mind ~" Hanatsu clings onto Iratella's hand.

"Uhh......I don't know....." Iratella tried to avoid Hanatsu so she doesn't have to tell the truth.

"So, it's set then! Training begins tomorow, everyday at 3pm til 7pm!! Location, school field!! Clear?" Reborn announced with no mercy.

"Fine with me, I'm kinda boring these days. But can I cut training if it clashes with my dance practice?" Iratella asks ever so normally.

"Since you have no problem in sports, I can allow you." Reborn agreed to Iratella's wish.

"But as for the rest of you, you are required to attend the training without any complaints." Reborn seriously sounded serious yet sacarstic.

"What???? How can you give an exception for only her????" Gokudera really snapped this time.

"Because Iratella has already gone through a series of training with me before back in Italy. Didn't you remember, Gokudera? She was training like hell, but she never uttered a single complaint. She finished her training with ease. And you guys just have to complain WAY before the training even started." Reborn threw a duster at Gokudera and Tsuna's head.

"Ouch!!!!" Tsuna was hit right in the head by the duster.

"So, get a good night rest tonight. We shall start our training tomorrow. Ciao ciao~~ " then Reborn jumped out and disappeared from sight.

"Guess we have no choice, eh?" Yamamoto chuckled with delight.

"Shee-ah-dap, you baseball idiot...." Gokudera was pissed off.

"Nee, Iratella-san....how was Reborn's training back when you are young...?" Tsuna was eager to know because he was, well, as usual, afraid on how Reborn's training would be.

"Well...it's not far different from your training for your fight against Xanxus last time. I'm kinda used to those type of training, actually." Iratella then finished her sentence with a smile.

"Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! You mean I have to go through those type of training again????" Tsuna snapped.

"Maybe not as terrible as that.....but maybe no less that our training for preparations against Byakuran...." Iratella tried to recall the past.

"That's even terrible!!!!!" Tsuna really started to freak out.

"You know what, let's juts go home now and get some rest. Reborn's gonna torture all of us from tomorrow onwards. And heck, it's a two-month training period." Gokudera decided to leave early so that he can take his mind off the whole training thing.

"Hayato's right. We should all go home and rest first. We'll never know how Reborn would train us tomorrow." Hanatsu agreed.

"Whatever. Can I not involve myself in this?" Michiru decided to leave early.

"Whatever suits you best then. No one's forcing you." Iratella just looked at Michiru.

"So....what the heck am I supposed to do now?????" Tsuna cried out loud as he walked out of the classroom along with everyone else.

END OF PART ONE~

The Sky Knows No Boundaries

Title: The Sky Knows No Boundaries
From: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Timeline: Ten years later~

The Japan Airlines Boeing-737 plane from Tokyo to Milan landed on the runways of the Malpensa Airport at exactly 11.38 a.m., 12 minutes ahead of the scheduled landing time. Japanese tourists and Italian locals got off board the plane and enters the airport to go through immigration checkings and claiming their luggages.

Iratella walks out from the arrival gate, pulling her luggage bag along. A priceless Louis Vuitton bag hung over her right shoulder. On her was a bright orange sundress paired with a white trench coat, a pair of Gucci crystal shades and a pair of platform wedges. Her wavy dark brown hair was left undone. Her looks could pass as a popular Hollywood artist.

The 24-year-old mafia princess immediately caught the eyes of a hot blonde guy leaning against his red Ferrari car. Dino, clad in a full black tux with his tie loosen up a little and a pair of leather shoes, walked up to Iratella and greeted her with his oh-so-charming smile.

"Took you a while to get here, eh?" he said as he took Iratella's luggage and held her by her hand which was holding her luggage just a moment ago.

Iratella chuckled. "It's a flight from Tokyo to Milan. How fast do you want the plane to go?"

"Well, I was hoping it to be as fast as lightning."

"My gosh, Dino, just because I'm a lightning guardian, doesn't mean I can make it move like lightning," Iratella exclaimed.

Dino laughed kindly and hung his hand over her shoulders as they walk towards his car. "You see those bunch of girls over there? They asked me to spend the night with them."

"What?? Are you serious??" Iratella felt like screaming but she couldn't.

"Yes, I'm serious~ it was a totally straightforward question, and heck, they freak me out coz they were like, trying to molest me. Ughh....."

"Because you are driving a Ferarri car, darn it." Iratella blurted out her statement with a hint of jealousy. She lightly slammed close the boot of the Ferrari car after Dino placed her luggage in there.

"Come on. You ditched your Russian mission just to come back here to prepare for our wedding. So, I'd rather spend the night with you than with a bunch of other girls," and with his cute, playful smile, he walked over to Iratella and gave her a warm kiss on her forehead. Her flame of jealousy died down immediately. She turned around to see the faces of the girls who flirted with Dino earlier, just to see them leaving the spot with disappoinment.

"See? You're just too irresistable to be challenged," he opened the car door for Iratella. Iratella just gave him her sweet smile and got in the car. Dino adjusted his suit before getting in the car. With the loud rumbling sound of the Ferrari engine, Dino sped off from the airport.

In the car, Dino switched the radio on. The song "Catena Amore" played on the radio.

"So, where do you wanna go first? Straight to the Vongola manor? Or straight to your family's manor?" he concentrates on his driving as he asks Iratella the question.

"Hmm....." Iratella touches her tummy. "Kinda hungry....I didn't eat much during the flight just now. I was sleeping the whole time coz I was too tired."

"Okays then. I shall bring you to my favourite restaurant. You'll never regret it." Dino gave her a convincing smile.

"Sure then! I'm hungry that I could just eat whatever I can now." Iratella tried to hide from Dino on how hungry she was. She barely ate anything during her flight.

And Dino zoomed through the roads of Milan.
----------------------------------------------------------

" Wow, this restaurant? It's been ages since I last came here!!!! No wonder you said that I won't regret it~" Iratella was awed by the features of the restaurant that stayed the same as the past 5 years since she last came there for a meal.

"Yup," Dino took hold of her right hand. They looked like the perfect couple. They took a seat at a table by the window, with a view overlooking the Milan ocean.

"The view is still the same. Still the same old beautiful view that I last saw five years ago." Iratella was so indulged by the beauty of the scenery, without noticing that Dino was looking at her with a smile so sincere.

"So, shall we order now? Check out anything that you like on the-"

Dino's sentence was interrupted by the ring tone of Iratella's mobile phone. She pulled out her mobile phone from her trench coat pocket.

"Bianchi...?" Iratella was surprised to see the name of the caller.

"Bianchi? I thought she's in Japan now." Dino was also surprised to know.

"This might not be a good sign...hello...?" Iratella spoke through the phone with a soft voice.

After talking for a while~

"Oh...m-m-my....g-g-g---" Iratella dropped her mobile phone on the table with a loud "thud" sound that echoed around the restaurant. The guests in the restaurant turned their heads to Dino and Iratella's direction to see what's the sound about.

"Why...? What's wrong??? What happened????" Dino quickly comforted Iratella.

"Dino...you have to bring me to my manor now.......bring me there now!!!!!! Mom, dad and Iratellio are all there waiting for me!!!!!"

"Come on, let's waste no more time." Dino grabbed her hands and ran with her to the car. He then drove the car to the Catena manor in an extremely fast speed. Iratella, who was usually afraid of really high speed, felt nothing at that moment as she was too panicky to think about other stuff.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They reached the manor in a mere 15 minutes.

As they reached there, they were greeted with complete silence across the manor. There was no one walking in and out of the manor. It was a bright sunny day, but the silence just makes the day more gloomy. Without second thoughts, Iratella walked into her manor to check out what happened.

Dino trailed behind Iratella as they walk through the passages in the manor. The lights in the hallways and rooms were lit, but there was no sign of any slight movements at all. The silence was too stressful for the young owner of the manor. She continued to walk through the passages as she held hands with Dino. They walked together silently in case there was still enemies in her manor.

"My box weapons are all in my luggage...do you have yours with you...?" Iratella was insecure to know that the manor was too quiet to be safe. There must be someone or something out there still.

"Yes, don't worry." Dino held her hand tighter. The grasp made Iratella blushed. A lot.

As they tip-toed across the hallway heading towards the grand ball room, they suddenly heard multiple footsteps. Iratella was shocked to hear the sound that she couldn't move.

"Iratella!!! Come, we have to hide!!!!!" Dino kept pulling her hand, but she didn't respond. Running out of time as the sound of the footsteps draw closer, he just pushed Iratella into a dark hidden corner to hide themselves. Both of them fell on the ground. Dino placed his hand over her head so it is protected during their fall. Iratella landed first, with her back on the ground, and Dino, on her.

"Hey!! Watch i-" before she could finish her sentence, Dino covered her mouth with his palm. He gave her a silent sign to calm her down. Iratella was shocked with the position their in - although they have been an item for five years, their bodies have never come in contact this close to each other. Iratella obviously blushed to the max. Her shyness just automatically made her quiet. Barely a sound came out from her mouth.

They waited patiently for the people making the sound of the footsteps to go away. As the sound came really close, she started panicking again. Dino then calmed her down again by giving a slight hush to her ears as he bend his head down over her shoulders to protect her. Iratella was startled by the hush sound made by Dino. But she was even more startled by how he laid his head over her shoulders to protect her from sight in case the enemies saw them. She couldn't move at all then. She was frozen by the intimate position they were in now.

"Check this room!!! There might be more people here!!" A voice from outside at the hallway shouted across.

"We've checked it!!! No one was there!!!!" Another voice shouted across.

" Captain!!!!! The mission to execute the Sky Boss is completed!! He is now dead!!!" A voice rang across the hallway and into Iratella's ears. She, as the daughter of the Sky Boss of the Catena family, was more than dead-stricken to hear those words right out from the enemies' mouth.

Dino noticed that Iratella had started to panic again, so he tried, again, to calm her down by laying his forehead on hers, staring straight into her eyes. Iratella, with the ability to read people's minds, recieved the message given by Dino, telling her to calm down and everything's alright. She was trembling over two things now - her parents and Dino.

"Great job!!! Byakuran-sama will be more than delighted to know that the whole Catena family has been wiped out. Now, let's get out from here before we get caught!! The Vongolas has begun to send their men to this manor!!!" the sterned-voice one shouted.

"Roger!" the rest of 'em shouted. Then the heavy and noisy footsteps echoed the hallway once again before disappearing into the air.

"They're gone now." Dino whispered softly into Iratella's ears as he slowly let go of his hand that was covering her mouth. Iratella stared at his eyes for a while with a sad and confused look. The sound of her breath can be heard throughout the corner they're at. She was trying to get back to her senses slowly after sweetly indulging into that intimate moment earlier. Dino gently carressed her cheeks to help her regain her senses. He knows that Iratella is easily calmed by these actions, but never did he actually really did these to her before this.

"Ae you okay now?" Dino asks her with a voice that melted to her heart.

"W-w-we...have to go find m-m-my parents..now...." Iratella came back to her senses upon realizing what were they really here for.

"Where are they? Do you know?" and he just had to ask her that so she can calm down and think of the possible places that her parents might be.

"The bedroom....every day, during this time of the week, they are in the bed room together...discussing family stuffs....come one~" she ran off first, leaving Dino behind to catch up after her at the back.

To get to her parents' room, they had to go through the grand ball room. There, they saw. Dead bodies lying everywhere. A great massacre had occured there. Everyone in the Catena family was mercilessly killed by the cold Millefiore clan.

Iratella stood frozen at the centre for a moment, then continued her race towards her parents' bedroom.

As she raced to the doors of her parents' bedroom, she keeps telling to herself: "It's all gonna be alright...no one can kill my mom and dad easily...."

Hesitatingly, she bursted the doors open, carrying her wish along with her. But it was no use at all. There on the floor, laid the half-dead bodies of Iratella's parents.

"MOM!!! DAD!!" Iratella ran towards them. Her knees fell onto the blood-stained carpeted floor and hugged both her parents tight. Dino came running in the room along with her.

"I'm sorry......I couldn't come in time to save all of you......if only I had decided to come by earlier....." Iratella was crying really hard now. Despite being covered with blood, she still held them in her arms.

"I failed you as your daughter.......I couldn't even protect you from being attacked by Millefiore....I'm a useless kid....A USELESS KID!!!!!!! I'M A FAILED DAUGHTER TO YOU!!!!!!!!!" Iratella screamed into the vast empty air. She could not stand her emotions any longer.

A hand touched her arm lightly. Iratella opened her eyes to see what it was. Her father was still breathing, but it doesn't seem to be able to last any longer.

"M-my...dear.....Ira-te-l-l-la......you are.....not....never a....failed daughter......" he tried to speak at his normal speed, but the wound that he recieved limited his speaking ability. "You have.....been....our sweetest........most nicest da-daught---er....that any parent.....would have........"


Dad......"

"I'm....really....sorry.....coz I can't....attend....y-y-your.....wedding c-cerem-m-ony.......but I promise......I'll give you a present..........."

"No, dad.....please.....no.....stop talking.....you're gonna be fine....you are gonna come to my wedding ceremony. Dino hopes so, everyone hopes so. I hope so........please....dad......" Iratella's eyes were filled with tears.

"Your mom.....*coughs coughs* she.....said that......she can't make it..........so she'll j-just.....give you.....a present.......here........" her dad handed over a beautiful bronze pocket watch to her.

"Pocket......watch....?" Iratella stared at the embedded Vongola crest on the surface of the pocket watch.

"This is......our.........wedding present......for....you.........I hope you like it........." her dad forced himself to give her a smile.

"Yes.....I like it a lot........." she held the pocket watch close to her chest and hugged it tightly.

"I'm glad.....you liked it............with it..........please............don't forget us............"

"No, dad....no, please.don't.don't go.............." Iratella began to cry much more worse than before.

"Your mom..........loves you........a-a-a lot........and so do I..............I love...............you always..........Iratella..........we'll always........love you............"

"No....no, no, no, no, please.no.....no.......NO!!!!!!!" Iratella began to cry more.

And with a final breath and a relieved smile, Iratella's father, Itelanthrio Catena, the 9th Sky Boss of the Catena family, found a place in heaven.

At the same time in Japan, Tsuna was "killed".

The two-day killing spree by Millefiore caused the historical minor downfall to the Vongola family.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last words uttered by her father still rang in her brain.

She sat down beside her parents' grave and placed a bunch of flowers on their graves.

"I'm so sorry about what happened to your parents." Dino stood beside Iratella.

"It's okay....it wasn't your fault.....it was mine....."

"No one is to be blamed in this case, Tella..." Dino hugged Iratella into his arms.

Iratella felt all warm and snuggy. She hugged Dino even more tighter to hold in the tears that she was about to cry.

"I miss 'em......I miss 'em so much........everyone's gone......everyone's no longer with me........" Iratella said with a very emo tone.

"Hey, don't think of it that way. Your DeVastella still needs you. That's the most important thing now. We have to fight back against Millefiore now........so don't be sad, okay...? Believe that your parents are always with you......" Dino gave a kiss on her forehead.

Iratella took out the pocket watch that her dad had given her before his death. She looked at it intensely. Then suddenly, it glowed with the lightning flame. After a while, it became the sky flame.

"We have to go back to Japan. Vongola needs us now more than ever." Iratella looked into Dino's eyes as she said it.

"Looks like our wedding is gonna have to wait til this war ends," Dino said with a playful smile.

"Seems like it. Come, let's go now. We're running late."

"Okay then. Come on."

When they reahed Dino's car, Dino opened the car door for Iratella. When she got into the car, Dino bent in over her.That position made Iratella blush.

"Wh-wh-what is it...?" Iratella muttered.

"A little encouragement present from me...." as he completed his sentence, he held her chin gently to lift her head up a little....and gave her a kiss.....an official kiss............

Iratella was shocked. Mortified. Speechless. But she didn't say no. As he let go of their kiss slowly, he whispered into her ears, "The Sky Knows No Boundaries. It is endless. Everything is endless, including our love."

The words gave both of them a smile. Without another second to waste, Dino drove his car headed towards the Malpensa Airport.

The Air Italy Boeing-737 flight from Milan to Tokyo departed at 12.30 p.m..

At the same time, Tsuna from ten years ago was shot by the Ten-year Bazooka and came to the future to remove Millefiore as the reigning family of the future and claiming back the royal rights of Vongola as the top mafia family forever.
