Tsuna hummed softly as he looked up at the blue sky.
"Tell me about yourself, Colonello-kun."
The said blonde blinked in surprise at his position on Tsuna's shoulder; Lal was on his other shoulder, and Reborn was on his head.  Tsuna chuckled mentally.
'Have I become the personal seat for Arcobaleno?'
Colonello grinned.
"Well~I'm the Rain Arcobaleno--that much is obvious, kora!  And I'm better than that arrogant hitman, Reborn, kora!"
Click.
Reborn glared at Colonello as he held his Leon-gun.
"What was that, Baka-Nello?"
Tsuna sweatdropped at the killer intent that Colonello and Reborn were aiming at each other; Lal sighed at his shoulder.
"Tch.  Men."
Tsuna pouted childishly.
"But I'm a guy too, Lal-chan."
The bluenette huffed before smiling slightly.
"You're an exception."
Tsuna chuckled when Colonello gave an indignant whine while Reborn simply huffed and tugged his fedora down slightly.
Hito, Hayato, and Takeshi followed from behind, watching the four with curiosity.
~~
"I'm going to test your combat skills, kora!  And I want your Storm to help you!"
Hito blinked in surprise before putting a serious expression on; he gave a small nod as he glanced at Hayato, signaling for the other to follow him down the hill.
Tsuna sat on the top of the rocky cliff, watching the three down below closely.
The brunet felt a small pain in his chest, causing himself to grimace slightly.
This, of course, didn't go unnoticed by the eyes of the number one hitman.
"Tsuna?  What's wrong?"
The brunet merely smiled and waved the other off.
"Nothing." Tsuna ignored the pain throbbing within his chest. "It's nothing..."
Reborn narrowed his gaze, but he slowly relented; the hitman would look into it after the battle.
~~
"Arigatou, Hayato-kun...for stalling for me."
Colonello widened his eyes as he whipped his head around to see Hito charging up an X-Burner; Hayato smirked from his place on the ground.
Colonello clicked his tongue as he powered up his rifle.
"MAXIMUM BURST!"
Hito took a deep breath as he opened his eyes, revealing an 'x' in each of them.
"X-BURNER: AIR!"
BOOOOOM!
The two attacks clashed.
When the dust cleared, it revealed a panting Hito--he was out of HDW mode--and a stunned Colonello; the blonde baby's rifle was destroyed.
After a few seconds of silence, Colonello grinned.
"You pass, kora!  Get over here; I'll give you my seal, kora!"
Hito slowly made his way over to Colonello and lifted his Sky ring; a small beam of blue light was emitted from the Rain Arcobaleno's pacifier, directed at the Decimo's ring.
Smack!
Hito sweatdropped when he saw Colonello get drop-kicked by Lal; the bluenette started to slap the blonde baby.
"You idiot!  You lost to the boy so easily!  You still need more training!"
Colonello's spirit was nearly flying away; Hito panicked.
"L-Lal-san!  Colonello-san's already unconscious!  Please stop!"
Reborn smirked as he pet Leon on the head; he was sitting on Tsuna's head.
"Oh no.  Please continue, Lal."
Hito frowned.
"Reborn!"
Tsuna chuckled softly.
'Some things never seem to change...' The brunet looked at the group and smiled fondly. 'And I would like to keep it that way...'
