AN: Hello! Sorry for the late update! I had finals! Thank you to those who read and reviewed the first chapter. It made me feel happy, :).

Firstly, most of the character's ages will be off slightly. Tsuna will be 14 instead of 13 as will Takeshi. They will still be first years like within the Canon. Hibari will be 15 going on 16.

One of the recurring questions in the reviews was "Where's Tsuna's mom?" Well… you'll find out in this chapter! Maybe… :'D. Please enjoy!~

'This is the character's thoughts.'

Reborn left the coffee shop with a grim expression. His investigation finally had a lead; however it was a two way street that lead to more questions and troubles. Nana Sawada hadn't been seen in Namimori for more than two years. Two whole fucking years. 'How the hell did that idiot not see that? That bastard is always squealing on about his family and how cute they are. How could he have not talked to her in two years?' Releasing a sigh, the world's greatest Hitman flipped open his notebook, and checked where his next appointment would be. 'TakeSushi… Well at least lunch is included with this meeting.' He flipped the book closed and tucked it into his pockets. As he walked towards his destination, Reborn couldn't help but think that this lead would be the one to lead him to where he needed to be.


Tsuna yawned as she pulled herself out of bed. She had a long night, what with the mission and dinner with Takeshi's pops. She stretched her arms above her head, and released a content sigh when her joints cracked back into place. She glanced at her clock, and her eyes widened. "Oh crap, I'm late!" She quickly scrambled around her room and threw on the boy's uniform. Once she was dressed, she ran downstairs, slipped on her shoes and bolted out the door. 'Please don't let Hibari-san be there!' She mentally repeated her mantra as she ran to school. Once she was at a close distance to Namimori middle school, she ran slower and sloppier. Tsuna pathetically wheezed as she stumbled towards the gate. She had a reputation as 'No good Tsuna' to uphold after all.

A dark shadow loomed above her.

"Herbivore…" It growled viciously.

With a gulp, Tsuna glanced fearfully up and screeched as a flash of silver attacked her. She clumsily dodged. "H-Hibari-san!" she paled, "I can expla- HEIII!" She tripped over her feet.

He stood above the trembling Herbivore, and smirked viciously. "For being half an hour late to class, and failing to wear the proper uniform…" He readied his tonfas; "I'll bite you to death!" He swung into her body.

Tsuna pathetically whimpered. 'M-mother…' The steel harbinger of death collided with her stomach. She choked as saliva came rushing out of her mouth from the impact. Her stomach retching from the hit. With a groan she collapsed onto her knees. 'I managed to suck in most of my stomach in time before his weapon hit, but good lord it hurts!' She gasped for air.

Hibari growled and slammed his precious tonfa down onto her head. An expression of disgust appeared on his face at the sound caught between a dying dog and cat, which the girl released. He swung his other tonfa down onto the law breaking tardy Herbivore. He continued this until she was a mess on the floor.

As Hibari continues to pummel the living daylights out of her, Tsuna tuned out the pain and dove into her thoughts. 'He certainly lives up to his expectation as 'The Demon of Namimori'… I wonder what he went through as a child to behave like this… Meh… Whatever. I wonder if lollipop boy has any new missions or info for me. It's been a while since I fought against Dr. Dracken… No… It'd be even better if he had any information on…' Tears blurred her vision, and they weren't from the pain of the beating she was receiving.

Hibari noticed that the girl had stopped whimpering and was now sniveling quietly. Crying most likely. He'd figured she'd had enough. His eyes momentarily softened, but half a second later they were hard once again. He sighed. "Herbivore… Get up, and get to class." He swung his tonfas to the right, to purge any blood on them.

Tsuna whimpered. 'As harsh as always… Even though I'm a girl, he never goes easy…' She groaned and weakly pushed herself off the ground. She gained her footing and immediately clutched her side in pain. She grunted. 'I really hope he didn't break or bruise my ribs… I need to be in good condition for any future missions… Oh great… my uniform's bloody again… I just washed it too!' With an irritated sigh, she grumbled sarcastically, "Yes sir."

Hibari's brow rose in slight surprise. 'Is this Herbivore getting cheeky with me? No…' His eyes narrowed. 'Sarcasm. Perhaps there's more to this Herbivore than meets the eye…' He smirked. "Hnn… What was that Herbivore?" He brandished his tonfas.

'Oh shit! I spoke with sarcasm.' She gulped and paled. "I-I said yes sir!" She quickly scampered away from the Demon of Namimori and limped to her class, trying her best to ignore the lingering gaze on her.

"Hn…" He smirked. "Interesting Herbivore." He walked away from the gate, the wind picking up in his jacket.

Tsuna stood in front of her classroom, and inhaled. 'Here goes… Oh boy… Takeshi is going to be so pissed!' She gulped as she gently slid open the door, and tried not to squeak in fear as the whole classroom turned their attention onto her. Even the teacher, Nezu had stopped lecturing. "S-sorry I'm late Nezu-sensei… I woke up late, and I got bitten to death by Hibari-san." She mentally sighed as her classmates laughed and pointed at her.

"Hypothetically… let's say there's a student who's test scores bring down the class average, and is always late…" He adjusted his glasses, "and as a result makes her fellow classmates look bad…" He sighed and "accidentally" let her math test grade sip from his hands, so that the whole class saw her score.

"Hah! A zero! Just like No Good Tsuna!"

A girl snickered, "How embarrassing!"

Tsuna turned red, and bit her cheek. 'Damn it… I did worse than I wanted to… I didn't have time to properly study to get a low score on purpose because of a mission I had that day!'

"QUIET!" Nezu yelled, red faced from the lack of respect. He turned to Tsuna in a rage. "AND YOU! STOP BEING A PAIN SAWADA! SIT DOWN!" He thrust the math test into Tsuna's hands quickly, as if he feared touching her would pass on some form of stupidity.

She grit her teeth and clenched the paper in her hands. "Y-yes sir!" She stumbled to her seat, and plopped down into her chair. She rested her head on her desk; oblivious to the worried glances cast in her direction. 'I'm so tired…' She blacked out.


Reborn sat at the bar of TakeSushi. He drummed his little fingers across the wooden surface.

Yamamoto calmly cut up the tuna, his back facing his new customer. He was well aware of just WHO said customer was. With a sigh he gave a firm chop to the tuna. "Why are you here Reborn?"

The infant smirked. "So you still remember me Tsuyoshi?"

Yamamoto gave a hard chop to the fish. "Unfortunately. I'll ask again Reborn. Why are you here Reborn? I'm retired, I quit the life." His hand tightened around the blade's handle.

Reborn quickly reassured him. "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you. I'm gathering information."

He relaxed. "Oh? Is that so?" He handed Reborn some green tea and tuna sushi. "For you to have come to me, you must be desperate for this information you seek." He turned his back towards Reborn and began polishing his knife set.

Reborn sipped at the green tea. "The World's Greatest Hitman does not do desperate. I figured you'd have some good info, as you know this land well."

The ex Mafioso sighed. "What information do you need?"

Reborn stroked Leon. "I'm looking for the whereabouts of Sawada and her-"

Yamamoto slammed the knife he was polishing into the marble counter.

Reborn's fedora shadowed his face. "I take it you know something. Something very important Yamamoto Tsuyoshi."

The sushi chef shuddered slightly at Reborn's tone. He was serious. Calmly, the chef turned around and placed both of his hands on the wooden counter in front of Reborn. He started directly into Reborn's eyes. "And just why does the Vongola family want this information regarding Nana?"

Reborn tensed. 'For Tsuyoshi to know her first name… He must know her directly, or must be very close to her… I'll have to tread cautiously if I want answers. He's not known to give up information regarding those he cares for so easily.' He calmly took another sip of his tea. "It's a private famiglia matter Tsuyoshi. If I tell you…" His eyes glinted dangerously, "I might have to kill you."

He tightened his grip on the counter. "Bullshit Reborn! You brought this into my town and into my shop. It's no longer private."

"Your sushi restaurant in a town protected by the Vongola famiglia. It is private." Leon climbed onto his finger and shifted into a green pistol. "Tell me the information."

Yamamoto didn't flinch. An overprotective gleam appeared in his eyes. A gleam Reborn recognized from the old days. "Vongola protection or not. I have a right to know what information you seek before I give it out. I will not give out information that will be used to harm the Sawadas in anyway!"

Reborn sighed. A familiar grin spread across his face, which made the elder Yamamoto relax. Leon shifted into a chameleon. "You haven't changed at all Tsuyoshi."

He snorted.

With a chuckle Reborn locked eyes with him. "I seek their location. Don't worry it's not what you're thinking. I'm not here on an assassination mission."

At this Yamamoto released his grip on his counter. He winced. He had made an indent in the wood. "I'm afraid I can't tell you until I have a little more detail Reborn. Tsunayoshi is like a daughter to me, and her mother is a dear friend."

Reborn sighed in relief. "So Sawada Tsunayoshi is here… Wait." Reborn's eyes widened momentarily. 'A girl? Sawada Tsunayoshi is female?' He growled. "That stupid Iemitsu! How could he have left out such an important fact?"

Yamamoto's eyes narrowed and he growled. "Iemitsu? The head of the CEDEF? Why would he care about?" His eyes widened as realization flooded him like a broken dam. He sat down on a stool his body slumped tiredly. He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Tsunayoshi's his daughter isn't she?"

Reborn nodded. "I've been sent by the ninth…"

His had snapped up, and he stared in shock at Reborn. His eyes widened. "Surely you don't mean…"

Reborn pulled his fedora over his face. "I'm afraid so."

Yamamoto ran his fingers through his hair tiredly. He felt like he just aged ten years. 'Nana was married to the External Advisor of the most powerful mafia family in history? And Tsuna's their daughter…' Worry spread across his face. 'Takeshi and Tsuna can't escape this world… I can't stop it.' He knew his son. Takeshi would follow Tsuna to the ends of the earth and back again. He knew he couldn't protect them any longer…

Reborn ate a piece of his sushi. "I know what you're feeling. I can sense it rolling off you in waves. I know this is hard, as you're obviously close to the Sawadas, but I need their location Tsuyoshi. They are vulnerable now. I need to protect them. That idiot not only failed to tell me that he had a daughter and not a son, but he gave me an address to an empty lot."

He sighed. "I understand." Tiredly he stood up, and pulled out a folded piece of paper from his pockets. He quietly slid it to Reborn.

Reborn picked it up and slipped it into his own pocket. He placed money down on the table. "Thank you old friend." He stood up to leave.

"Reborn, wait."

The hitman halted and turned back around to look at the older man. "Yes?"

Yamamoto stared directly into Reborn's eyes. "Promise me you'll take care of Tsuna and my boy."

"Your boy?"

He nodded. "My boy. He's Tsunayoshi's best friend, and would rather die than to leave her alone to suffer." He smiled fondly.

Reborn nodded. "I will Tsuyoshi. You have my word as the World's Greatest Hitman." Reborn walked out of the sushi restaurant.

Yamamoto sighed and fell to his knees. Things were going to be different from now on.


Morning classes passed by quickly and it was soon the beginning of lunch.

Tsuna had awoken to the bell, and quickly got up to try and escape to the infirmary. Her classroom was relatively empty save for herself and… Her face paled. 'Takeshi… Yup, I'm screwed…' She quickly tried to get out of the classroom; however, she soon found herself cornered by Takeshi. She gulped. "Takeshi! Now's not the time for this! What if someone sees us?"

Takeshi boxed her in against her own desk. "Tsuna, do I honestly look like I give a crap if we're seen?" His eyes turned into blazing amber, filled to the brim with rage.

She gulped. "N-no?"

"Good." He growled, "Let's go." He grabbed her arm roughly, and pulled her out of the classroom. Every student seemed to be in the cafeteria. He loosened his grip ever so slightly when he felt Tsuna flinch. Upon arrival to the infirmary, he pushed her through the door and locked it. He looked around for the nurse and clicked his tongue in frustration when he realized she was out to lunch. Spotting the first aid kit on the desk, he grabbed it and opened it. "Sit." He ordered.

Tsuna sat quietly and bit her lip. She knew not to argue when Takeshi got this way.

Calmly he raked through the kit and pulled out the necessary supplies. He gently grabbed her arm and began disinfecting the wounds present.

She hissed, and Takeshi lightly dabbed the alcohol on them.

He quickly got the band-aids and bandages and applied them to her arm. He began work on her other. He knew she would treat the ones underneath her uniform when she got home. He inhaled and exhaled, letting some of his rage subside. "What happened Tsu?"

Tsuna sighed. "I woke up late," she ignored his snarky remark of "no shit", "and Hibari-san was guarding the gates… Need I say more?"

Takeshi gently grabbed her face and turned it towards him. He dabbed a cotton ball full of alcohol on each wound and ignored her flinching from the pain. "Yes. Yes you do." He sighed and applied a bandage to her face. "You could have dodged his attacks! You took a beating from Gemini last night, and don't you dare say I'm wrong. I'm not stupid Tsu! I know you were injured from that!"

She bit her lip as he applied another bandage.

"You could have attacked! Self defense! You don't have to keep getting hurt like this! I know when we're on missions you don't really have a choice, as injuries will happen, but Tsu! This is home! You don't have to be hurt here! Drop the charade! Bullying would stop! We wouldn't have to hide our friendship! You could make other friends! You can be yourself! Your mom would-"

Her body tensed and she sprung up like a snake. "TAKESHI!" She growled. Her once doe brown eyes turning a brilliant fiery shade of orange.

Takeshi recoiled, but he would not back down. Not this time. He threw the first aid kit down on the bed. "Damn it!" Tsuna's eyes communicated the unspoken reason as to why she could not. "Tch…" A frustrated expression crossed his face, and he stood up. "I won't stop Tsu! Not until you see reason! Until you stop being so reckless I refuse to go on any more missions with you or to talk to you!"

Tsuna flinched back, her orange eyes widening in shock. "You don't mean that…"

He started walking out of the room. "Yes I do Tsu!" He stormed out of the infirmary and slammed the door shut.

Tsuna sat there stunned. Her eyes reverted back to her normal brown. She buried her face into her hands. Her form quivering. 'What do I do now?'
