Hello again! If you're reading this then you read the first two chapters, and I'm EXTREMELY grateful...or happy. Wow, I just used 'extreme' without thinking of Ryohei! That's so weird!

Thank you dolphinherovamp5, angel lal milch, and Ordile for reviewing!

dolphinherovamp5: No, he's not the Rain Guardian, no matter how much he seems like Yamamoto...

Disclaimer: I do not own Reborn. Although I wish I did.

Review as always! Thanks!

Oh, I forgot to add:

"I'll bite you to death." -Normal

'I'll bite you to death.' - Thinking/Flashback

-ha-ji-ma-ru-

Previously in chapter 2...

I'M not helping him. YOU are," the baby informed Enro, and pointed a green gun at the boy's head.

Enro fell off the cliff as at the bullet entered his forehead.

Takashi stared down in horror as the shorter boy plunged past him to his death and without a second thought, let go and fell headfirst after him. Up in the cliff, Reborn held his smoking gun and smirked as a faint yell came from below. "I'LL SAVE KINTOKITA-KUN WITH MY DYING WILL!"

-End flashback-

Enro was shocked that 1) he had ONCE AGAIN been shot and killed by a baby in a fedora, and 2) he was now falling off a cliff to his death.

But as the blonde fell, he regretted not saving Takashi before dying, and the light enveloped his head once more.

The orange flame blazed on his forehead, and his clothes ripped off his body as he yelled, "RE-BORN!"

Forcefully changing the direction his body was falling, Enro yelled, "I'LL SAVE KINTOKITA-KUN WITH MY DYING WILL!"

His body now facing upwards, the blonde reached out and grasped the side of cliff, stopping his descent.

"OHHHH! CLIMB WITH MY DYING WILL!"

Enro began climbing the cliff with incredible speed. He looked up and saw a black blur falling towards him. "KINTOKITA! I'LL SAVE YOU!" Reaching out, Enro grabbed Takashi just as he fell past him. The motion nearly choked the black-haired boy, but they were alive.

"E-Enro!" Takashi choked out in surprise.

"I'LL BACK UP THE CLIFF WITH MY DYING WILL!"

The blonde took Takashi on his back (much to his surprise) and began climbing the cliff once again.

-it's dying will time-

Panting, Enro tried to pull himself up onto solid ground, but it was kinda hard with Takashi clinging to his back.

"Here, Enro, let me down, and I'll boost you up," the black-haired boy offered, climbing off the blonde's back and onto the cliff beside him.

"Thanks, Kintokita-kun," Enro said in relief as he FINALLY climbed onto the ground beside where Reborn stood.

"Took you long enough," the baby remarked as Takashi climbed up as well. "Reborn! Why'd you have to shoot me off the cliff? ! What is that bullet anyway?" Enro asked wearily.

"This," Reborn said, holding up a red bullet, "is a Dying Will bullet. If a person with regrets is shot by it, then they are reborn with the Dying Will to accomplish that regret. Like you did, just now. When you were shot, didn't feel some regret?"

'Now that he mentions it, yeah, I DID think something like that,' Enro thought.

"The Dying Will Bullet turns all of the person's safety switches off, and in exchange for risking their life, they are able to harness great strength. Through regret, the person shot gains overwhelming strength, power and invulnerability. The effect only lasts for five minutes, though," the baby added.

"Oh, I see...Wait, what happens if someone without regrets is shot by it?" The blonde asked.

"Then they die," Reborn said flatly. 'How unmerciful!' Enro thought. "Don't show mercy, you're a mafia boss. Well, you're supposed to be one, anyway," The baby said. "Wha? ! How did you know what I said?" The blonde exclaimed. "Your face says it all," Reborn replied, holding up a green magnifying glass.

'What the heck...? !'

-aoi yume-

"Sigh...yesterday's events were too hectic...Kintokita-kun's now in my "family"...and I almost died yesterday. Reborn is really too Spartan..." Enro sighed as he walked to his class.

"Hey Enro!"

The said blonde looked up at his name, and spotted Takashi waving to him. Instantly people looked at him and started talking to each other.

"Why is Kintokita with Niizuma?"

"Kintokita should hang out with people that suit him..."

"It must be a fluke. Or something..."

'Oh god, somebody help...' Enro thought desperately.

"Hey Enro. Why are you standing there?" Takashi's voice interrupted Enro's thoughts.

'Not you, moron!'

"Let's go - there someone I want you to see." The taller boy grabbed the blonde's arm and dragged him over to a girl sitting at her desk.

"Hey, Taiyou! This is the guy I was telling you about," Takashi said cheerfully. The girl sitting at the desk looked up, and suddenly Enro found himself in the presence of the Disciplinary Commitee's Vice-President.

"Hm? Oh, it's the kid in the boxers," was the first thing that came out of the long-haired girl's mouth, and Enro instantly blushed. "Hahaha, You'll have to excuse her. Taiyou can be a meanie sometimes," Takashi laughed. Taiyou smacked him on the head. "At least I'm not an idiot like you!" She said, eyebrow twitching.

While Takashi was holding his head in pain, Taiyou and Enro were having a...semi-staring contest. Suddenly, the long-haired girl's mouth twitched, and she burst out laughing. Enro leaned back a little, afraid that he had done something wrong, but Taiyou just shook her head.

"N-no, it's not you...*pft* I just don't have the ability to stare at a person's face without laughing. I-it just d-doesn't work, hahahaha!"

'Well, it certainly seems like you're laughing at me. Is there something on my face?' Enro looked to Takashi for support but the taller boy simply shrugged and grinned.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself," Taiyou's voice dragged Enro's attention back to her. "My name is Shiromane Taiyou, pleased to meet you," she said, bowing slightly.

"Niizuma Enro. P-pleased to meet you," the blonde replied, also bowing, and Taiyou smiled. 'Shiromane-san is different from what I imagined her as,' Enro thought, smiling to himself. "Well, now that we're all nicely acquainted, why don't we start discussing the project soon? It's due in a couple of weeks," Taiyou said, catching his attention once again.

"Good idea. It's always important to get a head start on projects so you don't have to worry about them later," a new voice spoke up. The three jumped and looked at the baby hitman, who was currently dressed in a graduation gown.

"R-Reborn! What's with the outfit? !"

"What are you talking about? I am the great scholar Boren (1) sensei. I am here to educate you three on your project," the baby stated.

"We got ourselves our own personal advisor! That's AWESOME!" Takashi's smile seemed to stretch wider, if that was even possible, and he pumped his fist into the air.

Enro winced at the volume of the taller boy's voice, and Taiyou sighed and face palmed.

-boys & girls-

A group of students crowded around the courtyard of the school.

"W-what's happening?" Enro asked a bit fearfully as he, Takashi, and Taiyou pushed their way through the crowd.

"Excuse me, please move. Ah, excuse me…" Taiyou said, frustrated, as she attempted to get through. Angry, she yelled, "WOULD YOU ALL JUST MOVE IT? !" …Which resulted in everybody making a direct pathway to the front. Sighing at their incompetence, Taiyou stalked up to the center of the attention, to be greeted by the sight of two boys, one with orange hair and a bow and arrows, and the other with brown hair and a pair of tonfas.

"Come on, don't do this. I dislike fighting other people, especially if they haven't done anything wrong," the brown haired boy said, almost pleadingly.

"So you leave your vice-president to do all the dirty work then?" The orange haired boy smirked.

At this, the other frowned. "No," he replied quietly. "I do my share of the work; it wouldn't be fair to leave everything to her, but what I'm trying to say is that we try to enforce our rules with words, and only use force when absolutely needed."

"Naïve idiot," Taiyou muttered, then cleared her throat loudly, catching the other two's attention.

"And what," she said irritably, "Do you think you're doing…Captain of the Archery club, Amano Ichiro?"

"Great, why is it always me that gets in trouble?" Ichiro complained.

"'Cause you're the one who starts it, moron!" Taiyou snapped back. "And you!" She turned on the brown haired student. "Why in God's name, did you go along with this?"

"Ahaha...sorry," he chuckled sheepishly. "But Ichiro-kun wouldn't take no for an answer..."

Taiyou looked like she wanted to bang her head on a brick wall, and sighed. "Well, whatever you're planning on doing, stop it. It doesn't exactly set a good example for the students," she said, gesturing towards the other students. Ichiro looked like he wanted to protest.

"But I-" And so he did.

"No."

-afternoon time is fun time-

Enro yawned and stretched as the bell rang. "Hah! School's finally over."

"Got that right," Taiyou said appreciatively, coming over to the blonde's desk with Takashi in tow. "Do you want to work on the project today? We could go somewhere..."

"How about coming to our house?"

The three looked around for the sudden voice, when a weight landed on Enro's head. "Ciaossu." (A/N: Cue Reborn's theme song: Cosplay Reborn)

"Hey, you're that kid from last time!" Takashi exclaimed randomly. Reborn turned to him and said, "Kintokita Takashi. I forgot to say this, but congratulations on entering the family."

"Family? What family?" Taiyou said in confusion, tilting her head.

"Average-Enro's family, of course. For the mafia," the baby replied, smirking. "Why don't you join as well, Shiromane Taiyou?"

"R-Reborn! Stop trying to recruit them into your weird mafia thing!" Enro said frantically.

"Mafia? Heh, sounds interesting. Can I join, then?" The blonde looked at Taiyou in horror at her reply. "Sh-Shiromane-san? Wh-why?"

"Why not? It sounds fun," the girl said, smiling.

'Nooo! Reborn's turning all of my friends into mafioso! Wait, did I just call them my friends? ...Yeah, they are, aren't they? Wow, I have friends!' Enro thought to himself, grinning.

"...What wrong with Enro?" Taiyou asked, frowning. "Don't mind him. He's having a moment," Reborn smirked, his eyes shadowed by his fedora. "So you want to join?"

"Huh? Oh, yes!" Taiyou snapped her attention back to the baby.

"Good. Now we have one more person, huh..." Reborn muttered. "You two, come over to Enro's house. There's someone I want you to meet."

-su-zu-ku-

(1) Is that how it's spelled? I was too lazy to check, so...

Wao, I actually finished this! Ha, sorry it's so late...I really suck at getting stories updated. But I know how it feels when you're waiting for a new chapter and it NEVER get put up. Then you're like, FFFFFFFFFFFFF- /flips table

Ok, it's an anger thing. By the way...since I only got one answer last time, I'll let you all guess again: Which Guardians do you think Takashi and Taiyou are? You get cookies (and possibly an OC character in the story) if you guess them right! But I'm only accepting one answer for each person.

Now, what do you think? Is it good? Is it horrible? Does it make you want to puke rainbows of joy? Then tell me in a review! Thanks for reading!
