Title: Espresso Culture Shock

Character: Reborn, Tsunayoshi Sawada

Summary: Reborn will never look at a cup of espresso the same way ever again. Period...or maybe he'll get over it, since he is the great Hitman Reborn. All Tsuna is sure for now, is that somehow he managed to outsmart the witty man and is still alive to tell the tale... besides, after all he did built a shrine.

Genre: Humor (?)

Warning: May not be humor-ish enough but I did my best. Excuse the errors as there are some, I am lazy.

Disclaimer: KHR is not mine, this is a fanfiction for obvious reasons.

Enjoy!


Target 03: Espresso Culture Shock.

There are two things Reborn had learned to love doing during ungodly hours of an early morning. First on the list, weighing his options on how to wake his Dame-student, Vongola style. Sometimes, he'll simply poke Tsuna with a stick until the boy gets irritated and wake up. Other times he'll be strapping time bombs and or shooting him with bullets. What method haven't he tried yet? Pull his covers and pour a bucket of ice-cold water? Done. Play the sound of a hundred screaming banshee? Done. Play the sound of Ryohei and Squalo's voices? Actually works better than the banshee. Electrocute? Done. Flip his student's bed and let his student get squashed? Done.

What else haven't he done yet? Ah, drag his student towards the window and hang him upside down! Sounds like a brilliant idea. Maybe he could even shake his student violently awake up until he pukes out whatever was left from dinner last night then he'll have his student clean up all the mess. Ah, genius.

Yep. He's a sadist. Live with it.

The next he loved doing the most? Enjoying a cup of his freshly brewed espresso, sitting in his Leon turned chair and watching the sun rise towards the beauty of the horizon and let his self feel the warmth and radiance that seems to overflow on the sun's rays. What? He did love the sun and there is nothing you can do about it... and the cup of espresso on his hands just simply make his mornings oh so perfect.

Since when did he start his love for the bitter-tasting coffee anyway? Even the Hitman himself really can't remember, all he knew is that it had started even way before the Arcobaleno was cursed.

Well, now's not the time to reminisce the past. Looking at his now empty cup and into the grandfather clock, he's just in time to settle his cup into the sink and then go watch his student sleep without a care in the world, not knowing that he, the boy's tutor is now planning his chosen wake-up call for the day. Reborn grinned deviously, maybe it's the perfect time to try his new wake-up method? Yep, key word: his... most of the methods are not Vongola traditions to begin with. He came up with most and or tweaked the other existing methods to his own taste... just for his own sick ( and sometimes twisted) entertainment.

"Oh, almighty lord espresso coffee beans "

'Oh, almighty lord espresso' Did he heard right? And that sounded much like his Dame-student.

"You, by far his great weakness"

"You're the one who can save me! Save me from a sadist that is Reborn!"

What? His student seeking help from coffee beans? His student has some serious mental issues. Now that wouldn't have been nice, is it?

He reached for the door knob and quickly pried it open...

..only to see his student, wearing a Yukata while holding a couple of incense...and kneeling down in front of an altar?

"Dame-Tsuna what are you doing?"

...Silence...

Did his student just dared ignore him? How dare he do it.

Too pre-occupied with his student's strange antics, it had been a half-second to late before he realized that he had stepped into a danger zone. "What kind of childish deed have you done?" Yes, his stup- well his bad lu- okay, for some sort of strange circumstances, his left foot got caught in a trap made of ropes. As if he'll ever admit that he had been reckless.

"Why Reborn,I'm only applying what I've learned from you" Tsuna feigned his innocence as he placed the incense on a provided small vase conveniently placed on the altar. Reborn had only realized by then what was placed on the altar, or for better sense of explanation,what stars on it.

...a bowl full of fresh,ungrounded coffee beans.

Too add some effect, it's surrounded by flower petals and a few scented candles and of course, the incense which Tsuna had held earlier.

"Better not try moving Reborn, unless you want your precious coffee beans to meet a not so happy doom"

"I can't recall ever teaching you into playing pranks on me, Dame-Tsuna"

"Pranks? Pfft! Reborn, I am merely showing you a way of using ones weakness against themselves. I am simply applying your teachings" The young mafia boss pondered "Although I never thought that it would work. I mean, the coffee beans on you"

"If I manage to get out of here..." Reborn threatened.

"Well then I guess I have a bit of peace before that happens. The sky looks peaceful! Bye Reborn!" Tsuna twirled, yes actually twirled out of his room.

Reborn remained standing where he was, a little reluctant to move as his actions might cause for the coffee beans to pour out of its sack and into the muddy pool that had appeared during last nights rain. He had even seen that cow brat pee on it before going to sleep. No way he'll let the beans go to waste.

He could hear Tsuna's chuckles in the background.

As much as he's proud that his student had gotten bits of his sadism,he's still not amused.

Damn you, Dame-Tsuna!


Hope this is at least humor-ish enough for your taste... cause I don't know as tastes do vary.

Tell me what you guys think for this chapter?
