Hey, this is something I wrote whilst I had some writers block for my other stories. I remember Yoruko Rhapsodos once telling me in a review that there weren't any Dfem27 fics so I though that there should be!

The events here are kind of a prelude to the actual fic.

Tsuna hovered in the air above the forest behind Namimori. He was using his Dying Will Flames to keep himself up. His head swept from left to right as he scanned the area. To his annoyance he saw no one. The sound of gun shots and fleeing bird echoed through the forest but he couldn't locate the source. He cursed to himself and went slightly lower in the hopes of see through the trees.

"Reborn!" Tsuna called out, but got no answer. On the ground Reborn cursed the fact he had not told Tsuna anything about the enemy. He couldn't call out and give away his position, but if he didn't do anything Tsuna would be killed.

Taking out another gun he loaded a brightly coloured bullet into it and scanned the sky, through the trees, for Tsuna. He easily spotted him since he had fire surrounding his hands.

"There!" One of the enemies yelled. Reborn turned to see if they had spotted him, but he saw no one. He quickly realised they must have been talking about Tsuna. Raising his gun again he pointed it at Tsuna and pulled the trigger.

To his surprise two gunshots rang out, and a red burst from Tsuna whilst his flames flicked slightly before going out. From where he was standing Reborn couldn't tell who had hit him, but he presumed the other gunshot had been from the enemy firing at Tsuna.

In the air Tsuna could feel himself falling fast. The bullet hole in his shoulder seared with pain, and he couldn't figure out why he couldn't light his flames anymore. Suddenly his back exploded with pain and trees rushed past him. Pain filled his back and head as he stopped falling. Some part of his mind realised he must have hit the ground before blackness spotted his vision.

For some reason he was finding it harder and harder to breath. Rather than fear, regret filled him. Why hadn't he listened to his intuition when he realised something was wrong? Why hadn't he forced Reborn to tell him what was going on?

He had stood at the top of the stairs in his house when his first warning sign had come. A few minutes ago Reborn had gotten a phone call from someone and ended their study session together. Usually Tsuna wouldn't have cared, in fact he should have been delighted, but the look on Reborn's face when the person on the other line had started speaking worried him.

"...family... stupid...attack...never heard..." Tsuna couldn't hear him properly from his position. Just as he was about to edge forwards a bullet whizzed in front of him and embedded itself in the ceiling.

"Heeiiii." He yelped as he scrambled backwards.

"Go back to your room Dame-Tsuna." Reborn said in a cold voice. Tsuna rushed back to his room in fear.

At the bottom of the stairs Reborn sighed and went back to his conversation on the phone. On the other end Iemitsu was telling him about a rival family that had tried to kill the Ninth. Obviously they had failed, and been wiped out, but according to one of their intelligence network a few of the survivors had made it to Japan. Their most likely plan of action would be to kill Tsuna, which was why Reborn was being informed.

"There's no need to worry Tsuna but make sure to keep your eyes open." Iemitsu finished with.

"I never have them closed." Reborn replied before flipping his phone shut and ending the call. He then hopped back upstairs to where Tsuna was. "Let's get back to those questions." He said when they were in Tsuna's room.

"Reborn! What were you talking on the phone about?" Tsuna said, trying to avoid studying.

"Nothing for you to worry about." He said as he turned Leon into a hammer. Tsuna squeaked and scooted away from him.

"Wait! Don't hit me!" He cried.

"Dame as ever." Reborn said sighing. After that Tsuna didn't press Reborn for any more details. As he lay on the ground bleed he felt so stupid for not asking more. The rest of the day had past normally: Reborn tried to kill him and stole all his food.

He really should have realised something was strange when Dino turned up.

Tsuna had woken up the next day with a tired groan Tsuna pulled himself out of his bed. His covers fell to the floor as he yawned and looked over at his clock. Groggily he stared at it for a moment as he tried to figure out what the number meant. When his brain finally began to work he let out a small 'Heii' and began he usual morning routine that always involved being late.

He pulled on his school clothes and stopped down the stairs. As he ran into the Kitchen he was met with another sight that made him 'Heii'. Dino sat at his kitchen table.

"Oh Tsu-chan! Your friend came over early this morning to see you." His mother exclaimed upon the sight of him.

"I can see that. Dino-san why are you here?" Tsuna asked.

"I just thought I'd come visit." Dino said with a laugh. He was really here because he had heard about what had happened to the Ninth and that Tsuna was likely to be their next target. As the big brother in their relationship it was his responsibility to make sure Tsuna was safe.

"I see." Tsuna said absentmindedly as he sat down to eat his breakfast. Looking down he saw that his plate was empty, apart from one piece of toast that Reborn quickly took. "Reborn! You took all my food." Tsuna cried in frustration. Dino looked up from his food to see the distraught and hungry Tsuna. He knew how cruel Reborn could be so he picked up a piece of bacon in his chopsticks and leaned across the table.

"Open your mouth lil' bro," he said. Tsuna turned to look at him, his mouth still open from yelling at Reborn. Dino quickly shoved the bacon into Tsuna's mouth, making him choke slightly. "I don't mind sharing my breakfast with you." He said with a large grin. Dino's kind gesture made Tsuna feel a little embarrassed, but very happy. After some chewing he quickly swallowed and thanked Dino. He just smiled in response.

"Tsu-chan, aren't you going to be late?" Tsuna's mother, Nana, asked him as she stared at the clock. Tsuna turned to looked at the clock and let out a loud 'Heii' before dashing from the table and out the house.

When Tsuna was gone Dino leaned back in his chair and looked at Reborn out of the side of his eye.

"Is he going to be okay?" He asked Reborn.

"He can fend for himself. If you're so worried why don't you follow him?" Reborn said. Nana looked at them quizzically but didn't ask anything. Dino made a humming sound before replying.

"I think I will."

Going to school had set his hyper intuition on fire. Tsuna had stared at the board in complete boredom. He had been late this morning like usual and like usual he had no idea what the teacher was talking about. Some things never seem to change. Despite this a nagging feeling in Tsuna's stomach made him feel a sickly worry. He wanted nothing more than to hug his friends and tell them all how much he cared for them. The only reason he didn't do this when the lunch bell went was because his friends would become worried at his strange behaviour.

Outside Dino leaned against the school wall. The only danger he could find was when Hibari noticed him and gave him a warning glare. He didn't possess Tsuna's Hyper Intuition so it seemed like a normal, peaceful day to him. When the lunch bell went he decided that Tsuna was fine and left one of his subordinated to keep watch. He went back to hotel to take care of some of the paperwork he had bought with him.

At the end of school Tsuna's nagging feeling had grown so strong that he stopped Yamamoto and Gokudera from leaving and convinced them to help him look for Reborn. They split up and the Namimori's halls were filled with yells of "Rebooooorn'. They didn't find Reborn but they did attract that attention of the head prefect, Hibari Kyoya. He decided to take care of the loudest of them, Gokudera, first. This was one of the many mistakes made that day. If he had gone to find Tsuna first the tragedy that came that day might have been avoided.

Tsuna thought he was lucky because he had managed to avoid Hibari and find Reborn, who had been deliberately hiding from them. Yamamoto had offered to take Gokudera to the hospital and, despite Tsuna insisting that he should go with them, he took him alone.

Walking home from school with Reborn beside him Tsuna let out a deep sigh. Today had been a complete failure and he wanted nothing more than to curl up on his bed and sleep, but Reborn would never allow that.

Whilst thinking about Reborn he glances over to him. He was walking on the wall beside him. Tsuna noticed that he looked a little preoccupied, like something was on his mind.

"Reborn?" He said in a questioning voice.

"Stay here." Reborn replied without looking at him. Before Tsuna could respond Reborn jumped of the wall and disappeared. Tsuna stood there unsure of what to do.

After a few minutes of doing nothing he heard something that sounded like a gunshot. He presumed it was Reborn's doing. Against all logic and better judgement he began to feel worried to Reborn's safety. The day someone managed to hurt Reborn was the day pigs learned to fly but it was in Tsuna's nature to worry about those he cared about and as much as he didn't want to admit it he cared about Reborn.

He set off towards where he thought the shots had come from, but when he heard another few shots he realised he was going in the wrong direction. This time he headed towards the forest. When he arrived the beginning of the forest he saw no one. From further in he could more gunshots.

Fishing in his back pockets for his gloves and pills he pulled them out and quickly swallowed one of the pills. He then lit his flames and propelled himself into the air which led to him being shot. Now he was lying on the ground bleeding out.

Hope you enjoyed it. Like any writer I love reviews :D

I know my idea isn't that original but there is going to be twist in it.
