Hayato sat away from Takeshi as far as he could. Truthfully, he wanted to leave the room but his guardian told him to stay, and so, he was given some cookies to eat while he waited for them to finish talking.

He shivered as he recalled what had happened back in the garden:

Flashback:

After 10 minutes of wondering around the garden, Hayato sat on a big rock. He wanted to start training but he had forgotten to ask the Ninth for permission to use one of the Vongola's training room.

'So boring' he thought, spacing out.

"Boo!"

Tsuna watched together with Takeshi as Hayato jumped up in the air. "Wah~ that's pretty high!" Takeshi commented making Tsuna sweat drop.

When Hayato landed on the ground, he immediately turned around and glared at them,
"What the hell was that for, you stupid idiots!!!" he yelled, not that Takeshi could understand him.

"Sorry, we have been calling you for a while now but you weren't responding" Tsuna apologized.

Hayato huffed, "Who the hell are you two anyway?!"

Tsuna smiled, "I'm Tsuna, and this is Takeshi, what's your name?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"You ask for ours" Tsuna replied simply.

"Fine. My name is Hayato"

Tsuna nodded and translated everything they talked about to Takeshi, including his name. Hayato raised a brow, "He doesn't speak Italian like you?", Tsuna shook his head, "No, though, he's working on it" he replied before returning his attention to Takeshi.

Hayato observed Tsuna, 'He looks strong, I wonder if he can fight' he thought. Then, an idea hit him, since his guardian was busy talking to the Ninth and he didn't get a chance to train yet, maybe he could fight him. He couldn't use his dynamites since this is Vongola's property but he was confident he could beat him in hand to hand combat.

Oh, only if he knew......

"Hey, can you fight?" Hayato asked.

Tsuna turned his head to look at him, "Why ask so suddenly?"

"Just answer my question"

Tsuna tilted his head before nodding, "I guess...."

Hayato grinned, "Fight me"

Takeshi who has been feeling a little left out finally decided to speak, "Hey, Tsuna, what are you two talking about?"

Tsuna smiled sheepishly, "He wants me to fight him"

Takeshi blinked, "So, Haya-chan's like Kyoya-senpai?"

Tsuna chuckled at Takeshi's nickname for Hayato, "Whatever you believe, Takeshi.".

He paused.

A smirk crept up his face, "And he said that if he loses, he will play baseball with us~!" he added. Takeshi's eyes widened before grinning, "Alright!! I'll cheer for you, Tsuna!!" he exclaimed.

Hayato didn't know why but somehow, he felt uneasy just by looking at the brunette's face, "Hey!! Are you going to fight me or not!!"

Tsuna smiled and stepped forward while Takeshi stepped backwards, "You can do it, Tsuna!!!" he cheered.

Hayato smirked, "Finally!!"

Hayato charged at the smiling brunette. His hands were on his back, as if he wasn't planning to move.

"Take this!!!" Hayato yelled as he sent a punch on Tsuna's face.

Time seemed to slow down, Tsuna took out his hand from his back, revealing a very familiar green hammer. Hayato's eyes widen as Tsuna raised it and brought it down.

*BAM!!*

Hayato cried out as he was sent to the ground with a large bump decorating his head. "The hell was that?!!" he yelled at Tsuna who shrugged, "You never said I couldn't use something" he stated before turning to Takeshi.

"Takeshi!! He said he lost and will play baseball now!!"

Takeshi beamed as he ran beside Tsuna and in front of Hayato. Tsuna pulled out a box filled with.....baseball balls....from nowhere and gave it to Takeshi.

"What do you plan to do with that?" Hayato asked warily.

"What did he say, Tsuna?" Takeshi asked excitedly, taking the offered box.

Tsuna smiled, "He asked if you could be the pitcher, I the batter and him, the catcher" he lied smoothly.

Takeshi grinned, "No problem!!" he exclaimed.

Tsuna turned his back on Takeshi to hide his mischievous smile, Hayato who saw it since he was in front of the brunette, shivered. The first thing he thought was run.

He stood up and ran, only to fall flat on his face. He turned to look at what prevented him from running, paling when he saw a rope tied to his ankle. 'When did he...'

"Get Ready, Hayato!!!" A yell interrupted his thoughts.

Hayato turned around and barely dodged the ball that was about to hit him right on his face, 'WTF!!',

Takeshi threw another ball at Tsuna in a deadly speed, Tsuna being Tsuna hit it using a green baseball bat, sending it to Hayato whose color left his face when he saw another ball going his way, he scrambled out of the way as the ball flew past him.

It continued for 20 minutes, Takeshi throwing the balls with deadly speed with Tsuna laughing as he hit them one by one, sending them flying to Hayato with the same speed.

And Hayato?

Said boy thought he was going to die any minute now.

Having balls continuously sent at him gave him no time in freeing nor defending himself. 'THEY ARE NOT NORMAL!!!' He screamed mentally, dodging another ball.

He couldn't be any happier when the rope that was tied to his ankle finally snapped. The first thing he did was run, run like his life depended on it...... which it kinda does.

Takeshi and Tsuna stopped 'playing' when their playmate ran away.

"Where's he going, Tsuna?" Takeshi asked curiously, "Did the game end already?" he added.

Tsuna walked beside him, "Maybe he wanted to play Hide and Seek now?" he offered.

"Oh, that makes sense!! Let's go find Haya-chan, Tsuna!!"

"Un! Lead the way, Takeshi!!"

End Flashback.

Hayato snapped out of his thoughts when a baby wearing a fedora arrived. He knew it was none of his business so he went back to eating his cookies.

"Ah, Reborn!! Welcome!!" Timoteo greeted.

Reborn tilted his fedora in return, he looked at Tsuna, He must admit, for the boy to notice his presence when he hid it was impressive.

"So, Reborn, care to share what happened in the garden, the kid said you were there" Shamal said.

Reborn looked at Shamal, "Hmm....playing."

Timoteo and Shamal sighed, knowing this was the best they could get out of Reborn. They decided to leave it at that.

Schnitten looked at the baby hitman and noticed something, "Reborn, you didn't bring Leon with you? That's kinda....surprising"

Reborn smirked, "You know I never go anywhere without my partner, Schnitten. Leon jumped off of my fedora earlier and ran off. It seems like he took a liking on a certain someone, isn't that right?" He said, looking at Tsuna. Charcoal black clashed with glowing sunset orbs, Tsuna smiled but said nothing.

Leon jumped off of Tsuna's hair and went back to Reborn.

"Now kid, let's get to know each other"
