Chapter 2.

Reborn had been watching his charge, Sawada Shigeru, from his secret hiding spot. Shigeru was everything Iemitsu said he was – athletic, popular and confident. On the other hand, Sawada Tsunayoshi… what a spineless kid. How could a pair of twins be so different?

Reborn bristled as he recalled that morning's incident. While he was talking to the girl (Kyoko was it?) Shigeru had completely ignored him, he didn't even acknowledge me, that brat. Even last night, Shigeru had merely brushed him off, and then went straight to bed. Even threats and kicks didn't work, and the kid slept like a dead person, nothing Reborn did would wake him. Off course, Reborn hadn't tried to shoot him...yet.

Reborn turned his eyes to the scene in front of him. It was p.e lesson, and sure enough, Shigeru's capabilities were evident. Every other player on his team looked to him for direction, and his team was leading way ahead of the opposing team. It didn't help that the sport they were learning was soccer, apparently his most skilled sport.

On the other end of the field, Tsunayoshi was falling face first into the grass. The girls were learning Frisbee, and the twin was missing every single shot that came her way.

Obviously Shigeru would be the right person to be Vongola's tenth boss. He had the physique and the charisma, but his attitude needed fixing. He had to take Reborn seriously, otherwise he might die, or more importantly, he would lead the Vongola down the wrong path.

I hate p.e. Tsuna shook flecks of grass out of her hair. Her bushy brown hair was getting long again, she needed a haircut. Soon. She didn't know why Shigeru didn't face this problem, but whenever her hair got too long, it lost its ability to defy gravity and would start to flop down. Even if she didn't care for looks all that much, she didn't want to look like a bushy palm tree or something.

Maybe she should just go home already, she wouldn't even be in school if not for the Baby. Which reminds me, didn't he want to tell me something?

"Oi Sawada! Shouldn't you be in the sports hall?"

She started, were those seniors talking to her? Why were they running towards her? Crap, did she do anything to offend them recently? Tsuna took a few apprehensive steps back.

"You idiot, that's not Sawada! That's his twin or something!"

"He has a twin?!"

And with a woosh, they ran past her.

Tsuna exhaled a huge sigh of relief. They weren't looking for her. They were looking for Shigeru. Isn't it break now? What's Shigeru doing in the sports hall?

Curious, Tsuna turned around and walked to the sports hall.

"You little twerp! Be prepared!"

Reborn looked at the little scene before him. It was school drama at its best. He wondered if Namimori students had nothing better to do. At least, Shigeru seemed to be holding his own in this fight. It was supposed to be a kendo fight, but Shigeru, knowing nothing about Kendo, was just flinging the wooden sword like a baseball bat. The result was a fairly one-sided match, with Mochida with the upper hand.

At this rate, Shigeru would lose. Even with all his athletic capabilities, he could not win against a trained person. But would Shigeru realize this? Or will he have to use the Dying will bullet?

Reborn looked at his familiar, Leon didn't seem keen to change into a gun just yet. In fact, Leon didn't even seem interested in the battle, the chameleon was just reclining under a spot of sunlight.

"The prize would be Sasagawa Kyoko!" Tsuna heard, as she approached the sports hall. So that was the reason for this ridiculous scene. Some senpai was fighting her brother for Sasagawa Kyoko, maybe it was a good thing she didn't skip school after all, this she wouldn't want to miss.

But did the hot-blooded creatures have to choose a real duel? Fighting is never a good thing, someone could get hurt. She hoped Shigeru would be fine. It's not as though Shigeru knew even a speck of Kendo, Tsuna worried.

The duel didn't look like it was going well, her brother was just defending as much as he could from Mochida-senpai's fury of strikes. At this rate, Shigeru's going to lose! And he'll lose Sasagawa Kyoko, Tsuna bit her lip and started to wring her wrists. But what could she do? She was dame-Tsuna, the useless-Tsuna who couldn't do anything right. Could she even help Shigeru?

Wham! Tiny stars were dancing in front of her. Tsuna held her head, what had hit her? She tried to blink away the darkness. A soccer ball? Where did that come from? She must have been hit hard, for a moment she thought the ball had eyes in it, staring at her. She shook her head, nah, what am I saying? This is why I don't like balls, they hurt!

But Shigeru was amazing with a soccer ball, that's why he was the captain even though they were still freshmen. Maybe that's it! Tsuna gingerly picked up the soccer ball. Luckily she was standing outside the sports hall. Wanting to avoid the crowd, she had decided to watch from the window instead. It was the perfect spot. No one would see her.

Leon? What is he doing?

"Mom you should have seen it! I was awesome!"

"I totally kicked his ass!"

"Oi Tsuna! Didja see me? Didja see me?"

Tsuna couldn't help but return her twin's million-watt smile and nodded. Shigeru did a mini dance in his seat and Mom just laughed at his antics.

"Mom! One day I'll introduce Kyoko-chan to you! She's gonna be my girlfriend!"

"Ara, I look forward to that! Isn't our Shi-kun such a brilliant boy, Tsu-chan?" Tsuna just smiled and nodded. She did this. Even though she was dame-Tsuna, she protected her little happy family. It sure felt good to be useful, even for a brief moment, and even if nobody knew what she did.

"To celebrate, let's have some gelato ice-cream! Good thing I bought some last week. Reborn-chan, what flavour do you want?"

"Vanilla please, Maman."

"Geh-!" Shigeru spit out the remaining rice in his mouth. "Kiddo, why are you still here?"

"Brat, you only won because of the football, you could have lost." Tsuna tensed up.

"So what? If a ball falls right in front of me, I kick it! It just shows how even the heavens wanted me to kick Mochida's ass! Why else would a football end up in the sports hall? Footballs are only allowed in the field. Right, Tsuna?" Shigeru slammed his palm on the table.

Tsuna gave him a weak smile and nodded.

"Shi-kun, don't slam the table please." Mom called from the kitchen where she was serving the ice-cream.

Shigeru yelled an apology, but Tsuna wasn't listening. She didn't notice as her twin got up from the dining table and headed to the kitchen. She didn't notice anything, except how the baby decked in a suit was looking at her, and she knew. She knew that Reborn had seen her.
