Flying Punching Bag

Jack returns home and sees both sitting around the dinner table sighing when he says, "It seems you made some interesting friends in school."

"Interesting you say. We were almost shot by a fucking toddler," says Nesiara remembering what happened in the gym.

"You mean Acrobaleno. There are seven of them well let's say nine if we go unofficial. Like the flames, I showed you before. They all represent one flame each other. You met with the Hitman Reborn. He represents the Sun Acrobaleno," says Jack explaining to them who Reborn was.

"There are eight other toddlers like him," says John after hearing that.

"That's right. You will meet them sooner or later. Now did you make some friends?" asks Jack as he began to cock something for them.

"It's hard to make friends if you look like a delinquent. Only Ryohei has seen behind my hair and eyes and accepted me but he has too much energy if you ask me," says John who was resting his head against the table like Nesiara.

"I made friends with three people. Two boys and a girl. Tsuna and Takeshi are good friends it seems or at least it looks like that. Kyoko is a nice person. It's nice that she lives near us. So I can study with her," says Nesiara as she sighs when suddenly food was planted in front of both of them.

They smell the food and they began to drool and John says, "I didn't know you could cook grandpa."

"Who do you think was cooking when neither Kara nor Felicia had time to cook. And after living for more than 30 cycles it's normal to know how to cook like a master chef," says Jack as he sits down and says, "You both should learn how to cook or both will eat only dry meat as I did in the military. That was the only luxury I really had back then."

They begin to eat and after eating both began to do their homework before training for a little while before going to bed.

The next day they went to school with Ryohei and Kyoko. They meet with Takeshi and Tsuna at the gate when suddenly a bar of dynamite flies straight towards them.

Nesiara protected Kyoko while John just picked it up and pressed his fingers against the fuse to stop it from exploding before saying looking at the direction from where the dynamite came from, "This is no toy. You could have injured people with this."

John then throws the dynamite back at the boy with almost the same hair color and but the same eyes as himself. John then enters the school making Reborn who was watching everything smile.

'Both seem trained. If what the man said is true, they only need experience like the others. He is quite calm even in danger as well as the girl. They would be good guardians for Tsuna to bad that they will leave sooner or later. But as temporary guardian they could be useful for Tsuna,' thinks Reborn seeing the scene unfold in front of him.

"Are you two alright, Kyoko and Nesiara?" asks Tsuna as he sees Nesiara was trying to protect Kyoko.

"We are fine," says Kyoko a little shy as Tsuna helps her up while Takeshi helps Nesiara up. Then Takeshi looks at the silver-haired boy angrily.

"You shouldn't attack people just because you can do so," says Nesiara as she pats her uniform to get the dust out of it and continues saying, "Be happy it was John who caught your bar of dynamite or you would have a still a lute burning bar in your hand."

Then she turns to the school and enters it like the others. The little group then found out that the silver-haired boy was a transfer student from Italy. His name was Hayato Gokudera. He sat right beside Tsuna and said something to intimidate him or at least that's what Nesiara concluded from seeing Tsuna shiver when Gokudera sat down beside him.

The day passed with Gokudera trying to make Tsuna miserable. Nesiara wanted to do something but Reborn appeared beside here and says, "Tsuna has to deal with this alone."

"Isn't that bullying him?" asks Nesiara.

"It is but he needs to overcome his fear and deal with Gokudera," says Reborn as he follows Tsuna when he left school.

Nesiara then leaves school with Kyoko as they go back home. John, on the other hand, was on his way to the boxing club with Ryohei when they get stopped by a black-haired boy that was wearing his uniform on his shoulder.

"You why is your hair like this. That goes against school norms," says the boy as he stares at John.

"I can't do much about it since I was born with this hair," says John as he wasn't scared by the stare of the boy surprising the boy who takes his tonfas out.

"Interesting," says the boy holding his tonfas as he was ready to attack.

"Hibari stop he just joined yesterday school. He is from America. So it's normal for him having this hair-color," says Ryohei as he stands in front of John.

"Is that true?" asks Hibari as he looks to his subordinate.

"Yes, he and his cousin joined yesterday. She has crimson hair and eyes while he has platinum blond hair and green eyes. Both are American and born with this hair color," says Kusakabe as he reads from the list he had in hand.

"Fine then," says Hibari as he then puts the tonfas away and walks past the two not even apologizing as he does. Kusakabe gave John a small bow as apologies for Hibari's rudeness as he passes them.

"Who was that?" asks John confused.

"Kyoya Hibari, he is the Leader of the Namimori Middle School Discipline Committee. The one by his side is the second-in-command Tetsuya Kusakabe. It seems he has some interest in you," says Ryohei as they continue on their way to the boxing club.

"I hope not," says John worried that he would have to fight with Hibari from now on everyday.

"Don't worry, with me around he wouldn't dare to fight you," says Ryohei as they arrive at the boxing club and find some people training in it.

Ryohei goes to the changing room with John and says, "Since you are new just train without a shirt. We have some short laying around for newcomers that want to try. Most quit after the first week because it is too hard."

John changes and they begin with jumping the rope then sit-ups and push-ups before going for the punching bag. John was holding the bag at first and Ryohei was hitting it. The punching bag almost didn't move today making someone of the people around says, "You alright Ryohei. Normally the bag would be flying."

"Everything is fine," says Ryohei as he was feeling excited for having John hold the bag for him instead of another person making him go serious making the punching bag only tremble. After fifteen minutes they change and Ryohei was now holding the bag for John.

He hit the bag with enough force to make it tremble when Ryohei says, "You can hit it harder if you want John. I know you are holding back."

"You sure?" asks John when Ryohei nods and John says, "Alright but don't cry later on."

John takes a swing that sent the bag flying because Ryohei lets it go to not fly with the bag. The suddenly lands against the wall and Ryohei was excited and says, "You must join the boxing club. With you and me we will always win the best of three series against the other schools."

"Sorry but I'm not going to join I think," says John fearing that he would kill someone by accident.

He then dresses into his uniform and leaves while saying, "See you tomorrow, Ryohei."

"Who was that Ryohei?" asks one of the boxing members.

"That was John the transfer student that joined yesterday," says Ryohei as he walks over to the bag and sees that sand was leaking of it.

"We must recruit him no matter what," says Ryohei as his eyes began to sparkle from excitement.

John returns home and Nesiara asks, "Why so late today. Did you find a girlfriend on your second day?"

"That would be nice but no. I was in the boxing club because Ryohei wanted me to try it and I think I overdid it," says John as he sits down and doesn't see Jack and asks, "And where is the old man?"

"He went out to buy stuff saying that he needed to integrate to not be suspicious," says Nesiara as she finished her homework and says, "You remember the boy from this morning?"

"Yes, why?" asks John as he opens the refrigerator and finds his food on a table that was ready to be heated.

"He is in my class. He was making trouble for poor Tsuna or at least it looked like that," says Nesiara as John looks at her surprised and puts his hand in her forehead as she puts the hand down and asks angry, "What are you doing?"

"Just looking if you are sick. You didn't even worry about me when the old man almost killed me to test my regeneration ability," says John as he looks serious at Nesiara and says, "Don't tell me you like him."

"Of course not, you fool," says Nesiara angry as she hits John in the rips and continues, "He is a normal human not like us two. That's why I'm worried about him being harassed."

"Why didn't you help then?" asks John as he sits down holding his rips waiting for his food to heat up.

"That toddler told me not to interfere and let Tsuna deal with it," says Nesiara as she calms down and Jack enters the house with three bags full of food.

"Why buy so much food?" asks John as he sees Jack carrying it.

"You might not know but you eat more than me and Nesiara together. So I need to buy more food just for you," says Jack as he puts the food in the refrigerator and the snacks in the regal beside it while saying, "I will leave for two days tomorrow. The food will be in the fridge when you return from school. Also, train a bit after school you never know when danger jumps out of the bush."

"Where are you going?" asks Nesiara confused.

"I'm going to meet Logan. I need to ask him something about in which direction I should train John. After all, he will be his successor while you are mine. Didn't you think I was favoritism you more than him while training," says Jack as both realize that it was true Jack was always around Nesiara giving her tips on everything while leaving John deal with it himself.

"Don't worry I will be back before you know it," says Jack as Nesiara leaves the kitchen to go to her room while John finished his food and went to his room.

"Those two will have it hard in the long run if they don't take training seriously," says Jack to himself as he was preparing a stew for them to eat for when he is gone.
