Bab 14: I-pin and Rescue
Asuka: 5 years old
Tsuna: 8 years old
Ieyatsu: 13 years old
Ieyatsu's Tuna Detector had been screaming at him ever since he went to school. Usually, if it went off like it was right now, he would have gone straight to Tsuna. He wouldn't have let him out of his sight till his detector stopped, but this time he couldn't; he had school and Tsuna always got annoyed with him if he missed school for him, and Reborn was with Tsuna.
He couldn't concentrate though in class and his act, as if everything was okay, worked for everyone except Hayato, Takeshi, and Asuka who kept looking at him every few minutes. It wouldn't be till lunch, on the roof, that they would confront him. Takeshi was the first one to speak when the three sat down on the roof.
"What's wrong, Ieyatsu?"
"Hey!! You Smiling-Stupid-Face!! Be respectful to Jyuudaime!" yelled Hayato.
"It's fine Hayato, it's just... my Tuna Detector keeps saying that Tuna is in danger," said Ieyatsu looking so worried.
"I can skip the next class and check on Tsuna," said Hayato with a puppy tail and ears.
"No, it's fine Hayato; Tuna is with Reborn so he will be fine," Ieyatsu said before Hayato could get up and go.
"If the Jyuudaime says so," Hayato said looking like a dejected puppy.
"I keep telling you Hayato, you don't need to call me Jyuudaime you can call me Yatsu or Ieyatsu," Ieyatsu said.
Asuka: 'Aniki, give up, that would never happen.'
"No, I can't possibly disrespecting you, Jyuudaime" was all Ieyatsu got but the way Hayato said it made him drop the subject and made him realize he will never get Hayato to call him by name.
Asuka: "Reborn is with onii-chan, aniki you are overthinking." 'Aniki sensor for Tsuna nii normally would not be wrong that means either Tsuna's doing a mission again or an accident happened.'
"Maa~ Maa~, why do you keep calling Ieyatsu Jyuudaime?" asked Takeshi.
"Because the Jyuudaime deserves respect from his right-hand man!" exclaimed Hayato.
"Sounds fun, I want to join and be Ieyatsu's right-hand man," Takeshi laughed.
"This isn't a game, You Airhead! The right-hand man of Jyuudaime will have to take care of the Vongola Famiglia and make sure everything is running smoothly, there's no way an idiot like you can be Jyuudaime right-hand man!" said Hayato.
"Ieyatsu, I want to join. And is Tuna Fish a part of this?" Asked Takeshi.
"No, he isn't and I don't think you want to play; it takes time and you have been really busy with baseball," Ieyatsu said trying to not get Takeshi in his family; he would rather someone be with Tsuna in the dark about what was going on. (Did you get what I mean? Ieyatsu wants Takeshi and Tuna-fish still be clueless as long as possible)
Asuka: 'Aniki, Tsuna nii knows more than you.'
"No, I want to join and be Ieyatsu's right-hand man," said Takeshi looking a little hurt because his best friend since elementary wanted someone they have only known for a little while to be his right-hand man. The conversation lasted a little longer with dynamite going off, swearing, yelling and explaining mafia was real, but in the end, Takeshi became part of Ieyatsu's family and he still thought it was a game.
After everyone settled down they noticed a kid the age of Lambo was looking at them. A little while later, he rushed at Ieyatsu yelling "I-pin's target!"
Asuka: 'Finally I-pin is here, the daily day arc would be over. That means Haru... that the problem indeed, looks like even Reborn is not omniscience or omniscient. Look like I don't need to interface with anything and the first cure on the two diseases from Dr. Shamal would be coming.'
Ieyatsu yelped in surprise as the little boy jump kicked in has direction, narrowly making it out of the way in time. The little boy landed harshly behind them shocking the group.
Ieyatsu gasped and moved back dragging his friends with him, as his senses were telling him to move away for his own safety.
"I-pin target must die!" the boy now known as I-pin, exclaimed harshly, before pulling out a small garlic bun.
Ieyatsu paled when he saw the odd green colors that seemed to stream off the food. The little boy brought the Gyoza dumplings to his mouth and took a large bite before blowing the tainted air in their direction. Ieyatsu quickly moved out of the way but forgot his friends and the two got caught in the odd mist. Asuka immediately dodges it.
He could only watch in shock as the two passed out, falling limply to the ground. Ieyatsu nibbled on his lip. He really had to stop this kid, clearly, he wasn't there to play, but he didn't want to hurt him either. Making up his mind, Ieyatsu hurried to rush at the kid before he could get another bite of the dumpling and trapped the boy's arms to his body with his other arm.
Ieyatsu sighed when he saw that the kid would no longer be able to fight, despite his struggles to get free. Kneeling down Ieyatsu collected the kid onto his lap and sighed, what was he going to do now?
"Why are you trying to kill me?" he asked the boy kindly, the boy was still a kid after all.
"I-pin master tell I-pin to kill target!" I-pin said harshly between struggles.
"Why me?" Ieyatsu yelped.
"You bad man, a man that kill many people!" I-pin snapped back.
"I never killed anyone; show me proof if you believe otherwise!" he bit back harshly. I-pin struggled before he reached into his pocket and pulled out a photograph.
"This I-pin's target, your target!" Ieyatsu moved the flimsy picture and looked down gaping at the mistake; there was no way he was this fat ugly man!
Asuka almost laughs and look at I-pin and thought, 'To I-pin my aniki cannot be compared to a fat ugly man I know that I-pin is near-sighted but this is too much.'
"I think you have the wrong person," he whispered.
"No! You have to be him!" he cried out.
"I'm not that fat!" Ieyatsu denied.
"No, no you him!" he argued leaving Ieyatsu confused, how could this kid see him in this ugly mug!
It made him have a sense of déjà vu for when he found out Tsuna needed glasses to see things close up and... glasses!! This kid needed glasses!
Shuffling into his coat pocket he ruffled around looking for his Tuna's extra pair of glasses he always carried around since Tsuna either misplaced/lost his. Giving a sound of triumph, he pulled them out and sat them on I-pin's nose. The child looked surprised before looking down at the photo, then looking up at Ieyatsu. (Tsuna doesn't need glasses.)
"See, I'm not your target!" he explained proudly. I-pin gasped before his eyes began to water.
Setting the child on the ground he gasped, when a small foot made contact with the back of his head forcing his face to the ground. Groaning in pain he glared at Reborn when he landed by his side.
"Reborn..." he groaned.
"Hm, good job Dame-Yatsu, you figured out I-pin couldn't see and didn't die in the process." Reborn glanced back at the child who was beginning to turn red; he smirked when he saw the number counting down on her forehead.
"Though you may not be alive much longer looks like she's going to explode, so why don't you die now?" Reborn brought a Leon gun up to Ieyatsu's head, happily before pulling the trigger.
In slow motion, Ieyatsu fell back before his clothes melted off and he rose up with a flame on his forehead, "REBORN!! LIVE TO SEE MY TUNA-FISH, ANOTHER DAY!!!"
Ieyatsu ran forward picking I-pin up before throwing her into the air, where she exploded before falling into Ieyatsu's arms safely, just as the bullet wore off. Cradling the child in his arms Ieyatsu turned to look at Reborn frowning, he felt like he was missing something right now... The wait wasn't reborn with Tsuna?
Asuka: 'Look like I was right.'
Reborn: "Ciaossu, why didn't help Ieyatsu?"
Asuka: "Aniki can defeat I-pin and I know that it's part of your test Reborn-san."
Reborn: 'Now I am more curious where is the information is from.'
Tsuna was alone, and something was wrong... Ieyatsu quickly set I-pin down and ran for his backpack. He pulled on clothes he now kept with him for this kind of occasion, before throwing the rest of his water bottle on his friends' faces to wake them up and dragging them along. He would follow his ingrained Tuna detector until he found Tsuna.

When TYL Lambo saw through the cloud of pink smoke he knew exactly what was going on. Most of the time, he didn't but this time he knew.
And the first thing he did was jump off the bridge while screaming "MAMA!" that had Haru shocked and his Mama falling towards the river below.
Lambo had Tsuna in his arms. He knew that the small brunet was unconscious but when he got them back to land, he couldn't help but shake Tsuna to try to wake him up and call 'Mama.'
Even though he knew about how Tsuna would collapse if overstressed, even in the future, this always happened. (For acting weak purpose only.)
He also noticed that Tsuna looked smaller. So small compared to him. When he had one of his collapses, Lambo can't help but worry. He still couldn't believe how small he looked in his arms, how sickly paled his Mama skins are, as he held him protectively while waiting for Ieyatsu. Lambo could feel Ieyatsu's flames coming towards him, at the speed that he could only achieve when running towards Tsuna.
When Ieyatsu finally got to the river bank, he ran straight at Lambo and Tsuna. Seeing that Tsuna was unconscious and paler than usual, he immediately put two and two together, but he didn't know who the black haired guy was, who was as drenched as Tsuna was.
"Who are you?" Ieyatsu demanded as he took his brother from the man's arms.
"Dame-Yatsu, this is ten years later Lambo. Lambo was shot with a Ten Year Bazooka allowing his Ten years later self and him to switch for five minutes," Reborn explained as he popped out from nowhere.
As soon as Reborn stopped talking, Ieyatsu took off to the hospital with his two friends after saying 'Thanks!' To TYL Lambo.
Takeshi and Hayato woke up on the way to the hospital but Tsuna is still out.
"Well if it isn't ten years younger Reborn you definitely look different with the curse in place," Lambo commented. Asuka was shocked for a second then recovered.
Asuka: 'What is that idiot white-headed is doing?'
That got Reborn's attention but before he could ask what he meant the five minutes were up and a five-year-old Lambo eating grape candy was in front of him.
Asuka: 'Look like TYL Lambo is from an alternate timeline from this one. Should this be a good or bad occasion?'
"Idiot-Reborn where is Mama?" demanded Lambo, as soon as he realized he was where he and Mama were.
"Mama is in the hospital with everyone else," Reborn replied as Lambo started running with Asuka to the hospital not even waiting to hear anything else.
Reborn just stood on the river bank trying to figure out what TYL Lambo meant.
Reborn: 'Asuka scene to know something when TYL Lambo appears she wasn't surprised at all as if she knows it's already. Also, only when TYL Lambo talks about the curse that when Asuka was distributed for a second. Does that means she knows about Arcobaleno curse then?'
