In his defense, he hadn't expected the Tenth to ask for individual reports.

Xanxus takes the power struggle between him and Tsuna to a different level, but it doesn't work out the way either of them expects it to.

In the suppression of one sense, the others sometimes become sharper.

This is what you want, and he gives it to you.

Xanxus figures it's probably better not to ask too many questions, just in case he doesn't like the answers.

There is a philosophical difference between herds and packs, though Hibari might beg to differ.

Yamamoto wears the rumpled look surprisingly well.

Tsuna considers the various ways in which he relates to his Guardians.

Hibari's taxonomy of the carnivorous fauna of the mafia.

There are some things that Hibari knows for sure.

What could be more important than baseball?

Yamamoto attempts to make Gokudera's lunch. Gokudera is not entirely impressed.

You get one shot. You'd better make it count.

Gokudera prefers it when Yamamoto isn't serious.

A predator belongs only to himself.

There comes a point when a person has to say, "Enough." And Tsuna just reached his.

Haru's trained herself for this moment.

In which Yamamoto is a flirt and Gokudera reminds him of just what that gets him.

If this is what Gokudera wants, Yamamoto is willing to oblige him. For the time being, anyway.

Sometimes Hibari's pride takes precedence over his taste for what is traditional.

After things get back to normal, Hibari has some explaining to do.

Give Yamamoto an inch, and he'll try to take a mile. Hibari's not entirely sure he approves of that.

In which Yamamoto and Gokudera attempt to communicate with each other and mostly make a mess of it, but get there eventually.

Sometimes it takes a little bit of doing to get Gokudera's attention.

In which Lance is easily distracted, and Keith is quick to exploit that. So the thing Lance has learned about Keith is that he has a long, long memory. It's selective as hell, but if Keith cares enough about something to notice it in the first place, he'll never forget it. And because it's Keith, he'll usually remember whatever it is at the worst possible time.

Keith thinks he's about to get rickrolled. Keith is mistaken. When he opens the email, all it says is Saw this and thought of you, happy birthday buddy, followed by a link to a video hosted on a Google drive. Keith gives it a long look, weighing suspicion against curiosity, the fact that he knows the sender of the email against the fact that he knows the sender, and then shrugs suspicion aside. He's probably about to get rickrolled, but whatever. He clicks the link. It's not a rickroll.

They say no plan survives contact with the enemy; Shiro probably needs to keep that one in mind. Lance pushes everything, like he can't help himself. In retrospect, Shiro has no idea why he expected anything else from him in bed.

In which Yamamoto shows Squalo a new trick for dealing with Xanxus.

So they've got a little time on their hands to dispose of.

Everyone seems to think he's lost his mind, but Yamamoto has never felt so sane.

Rule number one: Never take your eyes off the Mist. The Tenth is the only reason it works, and that's because Tsuna doesn't know how to give up on anything. Or anyone. And when it's the Tenth asking, somehow everyone just seems to end up going along with it one way or another in the end.

Flames can be good for more than just fighting.

Gokudera can't bring himself to compromise on some issues, even when he'd really like to. Having a sense of responsibility can be a real nightmare that way.

Delayed gratification has its good points.

Haru is a morning person; Gokudera isn't. But he manages to cope with that.

There are a lot of things Hana doesn't know; she's okay with that.

This time, the McManus brothers might have set their sights on the wrong mafia family.

In which Tsuna is careless, briefly, when he shouldn't ought to be.

In which Gokudera receives a lesson in sushi-making.

Gokudera told them so.

Yamamoto talks a lot to everybody but Hibari.

Yamamoto has some trouble adjusting to life after they get back from the future. Weirdly enough, Hibari helps.

This is a dangerous game that they're playing.

It's time to get a few things straight.

In which Tsuna doesn't understand what the rest of the world is watching him for.

Yamamoto is really rather zen about life and death in pursuit of his duty. Gokudera, not so much.

Dino's shirt looks much better on Bianchi than it ever has on him.

It's a long drive home, but there are plenty of ways to pass the time.

Haru knows how to take care of herself.

This is a dark Alternate History arc that follows what might happen if Mukuro had decided to make Xanxus his tool of conquest instead of Tsuna.
