Well when you follow the original story its much easier to write, and it takes much less time to do so. I made every effort to keep to the spirit of the manga and to slowly introduce more of Mortimor's perks and past. Enjoy :-)

Desclaimer (my hands are tied): I don't own KHR, nor do i own anything that is owned by another person or compeny that will show up in this story, i do own Mort .

I reamined you whenever "this" show up its Mortimor's thoughts. (I'll stop reminding somewhere along the way...)

Memories of Egypt:

Tsuna's morning was normal. Normal in his newly acquired standards at least. It started when Lambo tried to kill Reborn with a grenade. This tutor blocked the grenade that landed by Tsuna's bed and exploded those waking him up. Of course this happened at 5 am. Lambo then made many more attempts against Reborn each ending with Tsuna being hit rendering him unable to go back to sleep.

To his demise the day wasn't getting better, during breakfast after Lambo ate his own meal he made yet another attempt. This attempt ended with the crying Lambo using the ten year bazooka, summoning his older self; the letter nonchalantly ate Tsuna's meal before failing miserably in his own attempt at Reborn's life.

With such a morning it was not hared to understand why Tsuna was currently rubbing his eyes as he walked into the gates of 'Namimori junior high'. "Yaw~~n, I'm so sleepy..." Tsuna rubbed his eyes again, nearly crashing into a light pole because of his hand in front of his eyes.

"Yo, Tsuna, wait for me!" Yamamoto ran up to catch up with him. The baseball player was his usual self. That is after Tsuna had to convince him not to take his life and then save him when he fell by mistake.

"Oh! Yamamoto! Good morning!". The tired Tsuna was pulled by Yamamoto out of the way of an incoming bicycle rider. The later shouted mild courses at the sleep walking Tsuna.

Tsuna woke up as Yamamoto rested his elbow on his shoulder. "You look tired Tsuna. Are you staying up really late at night? You've got some really dark circles under your eyes."

"Err…Ah…some stuff has been happening lately." Tsuna said with a mild look and sighed, he then dozed of thinking about the cause of his distress.' I want to stay as normal friends with Yamamoto…I can't possibly say that a hitman from another mafia family came to assassinate the hitman that is torturing me and living in my home and keeps making the attacking hitman cry. Lets not mention that the attacking hitman chose to attack as the saying says 'as dawn'.'

"Well, as long as you're not sleep deprived from studying all night long, than that's good. Otherwise I'd lose my failure buddy, right? Then the teacher would pick on me more often because I didn't study." Yamamoto smiled and noticing his friend was sleeping again elbowed Tsuna's arm.

"Augh! He struck the Juudaime! That is unforgivable!" Gukodara was watching the exchange from the second story stairs in front of the school's front entrance. If there was something about the baseball idiot ,as he called Yamamoto, was his disrespect to Tsuna. 'Damn that baseball bastard!' He crushed the pack of cigarettes in his hand, one cigaret started to climb out trying to imitate Popay's spinach and fly in his mouth direction,' He's being so clingy to the Juudaime! If it was my decision he was long gone' Gukodara looked at Reborn. the hitman was standing on the stairs next to him. "Reborn-San, are you really planning to let that guy into the family?"

"I'm not planning. He's already in it. I've decided." Even if it was the truth, the look on Gukodara's face was so priceless that Reborn started making plans to retrieve the school's security tape just to see it again.

"Wha!..." the poor boy was looking for words. Meanwhile Tsuna fell asleep once again which made Yamamoto wake him up. "Augh! He hit him again! Damn him~~!" Gukodara had enough the baseball idiot was disrespectful to his boss. What more he couldn't believe such a carefree person would make a good mafioso.

The silver haired Italian turned to his boss's tutor and said "Please rethink about it Reborn-San! I object someone so rude like him entering" his change blindness (the effect when your brain sees what you expected and only then recognize the truth) wearing off he saw that a big bubble was now coming out of Reborn's nose meaning the hitman was probably sleeping through the last part of his talk.

Tsuna was surprised it was as though the Gods had made it their work to prove this day can only get worse. Reborn was swimming in the school pool with a round wheel shaped buoy. No one was allowed to use the pool without permission and Tsuna just knew it can either go bad, Reborn latest plan will go into motion or worse Hibari will see the baby swimming and will beat Tsuna for his actions.

Reborn was so laid back, so relaxed he was even eating a Popsicle while swimming.
"I hope you'll suffer for not waiting 30 minutes" thought the brown haired student. Reborn took a bit of his lemon flavored Popsicle and said "So to put Gukodara's concerns at ease, I have decided to hold the 'Family Entrance Test'."

Tsuna gawked, this was so wrong. Yamamoto was a dear friend, just this morning he tried to hide the mafia stuff from him. Why did Reborn had to mess with his life on every step of the way (He of course forgot that it was also due to Reborn that he was a friend with Yamamoto and that the later was even alive), "What about me? I am not satisfied!" Tsuna tried not to shout, the fear of Hibari was strong enough even during his concerned state.

"Why are you deciding things on your own!" his tone started to rise. Watching the uncaring Reborn, Tsuna remembered what he feared most "And don't you go swimming in the pool without permission!" "Hibari will kill me..."Tsuna made a last ditch effort to persuade the capricious baby "Yamamoto is my classmate! He's my friend. And he's busy with baseball! Don't go dragging him into your world!" His tutor didn't flinch.

The hitman then dove backwards to hide his evil smirk as he said "I had Gukodara call Yamamoto, and the other participant should already be on his way." Tsuna lost him somewhere after Gukodara. He started running to prevent Yamamoto from getting hurt, must likely by his self proclaimed right hand "I just saved the guy; and Reborn tries to kill him."

In the courtyard a one sided stare contest was happening. The stoic Gukodara the right hand of the Vongola's tenth boss was trying to find, why the baseball moron was chosen for the family. He walked around the carefree black haired teen, a stern look on his face. "Hey, Hey Gukodara...What's up with calling me out and doing a silent stair down?"

Gukodara couldn't accept it "What a nasty dude" he thought to himself. The baseball idiot as the silver haired boy liked to call him started looking in his beg. Yamamoto took out a carton of milk and said "You should drink some milk. Frustration is usually caused by the lack of calcium." Gukodara turned his back to Yamamoto and started caressing a dynamite stick all the time whispering "That's my limit" he started to imagine what he was about to do next when he heard a familiar shout.

"Hey!" Tsuna's voice echoed along the deserted school grounds. "Why did I shout please make it so Hibari won't find out." Gukodara's eyes brightened at the very moment he heard his boss's voice.
"Juudaime!" he said smiling. "Yo" Yamamoto said he smiled at his newly acquired friend. Panting Tsuna smiled inwardly happy that nothing of drastic measures happened "I might just be able to stop this" he thought. Yamamoto's gaze traveled behind Tsuna and he asked "Who's that, your little brother?"

A familiar voice that came behind Tsuna said "Caiossu" turning around Tsuna was amazed but not surprised to see Reborn standing behind him. The surprise came from the fact that, Reborn was on a skateboard he didn't see before and held a rope which was attached to Tsuna.

"Reborn," he said his voice full of both surprise and anger, "No wonder it felt heavy." Tsuna shook his head in disbelief the hitman was ten times more devious than ever. It was really as if someone was up to get him today.

"I'm not his little brother" said the 'antichrist' (AN: a word play on his nickname Devil's child) answering Yamamoto's question before Tsuna got to tell a lie "I'm Reborn the Vongola family hitman." Tsuna's concern sky rocketed, Reborn spilled the bins he just lost any chance to be friends with him.

The baseball player bent down to face Reborn and said "I see. Well, I apologize." Tsuna sweat dropped Yamamoto actually didn't care..."It must be troublesome to be a hitman at such a young age." The black haired teen continued.

"Not really" Reborn stated "You're going to join the Vongola family too" Tsuna was surprised at how calm were the two. It was as though they didn't have a single care in the world.

"Eh... Reborn" he tried to stop Yamamoto from saying something he'll be sorry. The guy was dense sometimes Tsuna knew that but he didn't believe he was that dense. Yamamoto just smiled at him, for some reason his eyes were dead serious when he said "Come on he's only a kid. Didn't you do it when you were young too?" Tsuna didn't know where Yamamoto was going but he had a really bad felling "Playing cops and heroes that is?" Tsuna almost fainted from shock Yamamoto really was dense he thought the all thing was a 'mafia game'!

Yamamoto lifted Reborn and put him on his shoulder; to the surprise of the ever tormented Tsuna the act didn't end with the usual result. Reborn acted like a good mannered boy, instead of his usual demonic disposition. The hitman began with an explanation "The head of the family is Tsuna. I'm his tutor for everything related to mafia."

Yamamoto looked at Tsuna and said "Oh, now that's a good choice of person." Tsuna was surprised by these words, only a few other people ever said good things about him. Yamamoto eyes turned cold as he said "OK, sure. Then let me in this Vongola family" Reborn smirked, he could fell Yamamoto was trying to fool Tsuna. "He cares for his friend's emotions and hides the truth, they are so similar sometimes" From the school's direction he saw a figure coming.

"O... and here comes the other participating member in our test" Said the infant the form of Mortimor was quickly reveled to the three teens. The auburn boy joined the group in a timely manner and waved at Reborn. "Hey, Reborn-San sorry for the holdup, took some time to convince the English teacher that someone from America doesn't need to be in all the lessons."

Tsuna and Gukodara traded looks. "Juudaime is that...?" asked the silver haired boy. "Yea that's the guy from yesterday" answered Tsuna. Reborn jumped from Yamamoto's shoulder to Mortimor's head. "Everyone, I would like to introduce you to Mortimor Rigor from class A-2. The two of us met a couple of time and after I heard that he saved Tsuna twice, I had to invite him to join the family."

"Plus you wanted to keep a close eye on me" Mort thought to himself. Gukodara smiled at Mortimor. "Hello Rigor-San. I am Gukodara Hyahto; any man who helps out the Juudaime is a friend of mine.""I wonder what happened to those bullies" he thought to himself. Said bullies woke up yesterday locked in the janitor's cabin with a note plastered to the door. The note said "If you won't clean this place I'll 'beat you to death' signed: Hibari" the four men cleaned the cabin all night long and were still sleeping there at this very moment.

The ever cheerful Yamamoto was glad to meet any friend of Tsuna "Yo, Rigor-Senpai I am Yamamoto Takashi" he waved at Mort with his uninjured arm.
Mortimor smiled at his quick acceptance by the two younger teens. "Reborn-San please my friends call me Mort" Bowing just enough so to not drop Reborn he said to the rest "Nice to meet you everyone. I hope you'll accept me to the family." "That's the only good thing that can happen to me in this freaky world." He lifted his head and gave them a shinning smile.

Tsuna looked at Mortimor and said "Thank you, Rigor-Senpai for your help those two times, but really you shouldn't do this." Looking at Reborn he said "Reborn! Don't go dragging random people into the mafia." Reborn smiled answer prepared beforehand his student was so predictable some times. He was cut by Mort "Sorry no can do, this boy over here" Mort pointed to his head, "promised to help me pay my rent. I already quit my after-non job based on it." Reborn laughed to himself; Tsuna couldn't counter that.

Tsuna was dazzled this older boy just accepted Reborn offer without questioning it."Why? Why would you want to join the mafia?" asked the brown haired boy. Mortimor smiled to himself he asked this question a few hundred times before coming here today and he now had an answer "Because it sounds interesting" Tsuna was slack jawed. "That's why I helped you those two times you looked interesting a riddle just like this baby and I want to figure both of you out." "Truth be told, even when I know the Manga this two still have a weird and interesting charm I want to figure out."

"Scary" Tsuna thought to himself. Reborn smiled, his student was quiet and the others showed no objections. Gukodara accepted Mort with ease, they shared common inters, and Yamamoto was his cheerful self. With this he could move on to the test. "So let's move on to the test." He hoped down from Mort's head and stood in front of him and Yamamoto.

"Wow a test you're pretty legitimate." Said Yamamoto as Reborn fumbled in his 'pocket space' pockets (An: what... that's the name for these things). Reborn kept on searching while he said "If you fail the test you won't enter the family." False sense of comfort snuck its way to Tsuna's heart. There was a chance the two would fail and be saved from the mafia. "That is, because you'll be dead." Continued the baby as he drew out to semi-machine guns; Tsuna didn't question where he drew them from he learned it the hard way (he passed his hand around his neck in response to the memory). "The test is easy just dodge the attacks" completed the baby.

Finely the full scale of Reborn's words downed on Tsuna, and he was about to stop Reborn when the letter said "First knives." Knives were drown out of his pockets and thrown at Yamamoto and Mort. The two dodged them Yamamoto with the reflexes he honed with baseball, and Mortimor well we'll get to that in a moment. As the knives flew past them, Tsuna jumped in front of the two and said "W-—Wait Reborn! Are you seriously trying to kill them?" Gukodara who still didn't accept Yamamoto chanted inwardly "kill him, kill him..."

The carefree Yamamoto rested his hand on Tsuna's shoulder and said "Wait up Tsuna." The later was surprised by his friend's behavior making a small "Eh?" sound. "When we were kids we played with wooden swords right? It's all right I'll stick around" the brown haired boy was about to scream at Yamamoto's density.

"Plus," Mortimor said "If these were real" "and I know they are" I am sure we could handle them" "especially after my dear beloved fat her started Sanding me head first into every trap infested corridor. I honed my reflex to their peak, after his never ending 'Archeological' escapades."

Flashback

Mortimor and his father stood at the entrance to yet another Egyptian catacomb. The twelve years old Mortimor looked at his father with a questioning glance. "Father...Are you sure all the traps are disabled" Mortimor flinched in memories of the last catacomb they investigated. He still couldn't rid himself from the green ooze's smell.

His father looked up. His face hidden by the sun and said "I am sure" his voice was reassuring "If you do the owner" "I have a bad feeling about this". Neglecting his better judgment, Mortimor stepped in. Taking his third step he felt the tile under his lag, sink down. He jumped forward dodging the incoming arrow. From behind him he heard his father shout "Sorry, Mort I made a bet to pay my debt please don't die...""Gambling I can survive again. I should really find a way to stop him from going to pubs" (later that year he learned how to mix or prepare every kind of alcoholic drink).

End Flashback.

Tsuna sweat dropped the two were enjoying themselves. Reborn looked at him and said "As their boss you should show an example" Tsuna was about to protest Mortimor and Yamamoto, had inhuman instincts but he was normal, how was he going to survive? "It's a race, to see who's going to pass the test" shouted Yamamoto. The sportsman started running away shouting "come on lets run" Mortimor following behind him.

"What? No way... Wait up" Tsuna shouted as he started running behind the two 'contestant'. Reborn smirked wickedly drawing forth two handfuls of knives. The knives were thrown at them one by one dodged by both Mortimor and Yamamoto. Tsuna narrowly escaped being hit by falling on a stone in his way. A stone that wasn't there a second ago, "He shouts and scores", Mortimor said to himself he kicked the stone when he noticed the knife coming at his new boss. The act of generosity had a price he himself suffered a nasty cut on his forearm.

Reborn smiled to himself and said "As the saying goes, 'No good deed goes unpunished'. This two are highly talented Yamamoto got his reflex from baseball" "really..." Gukodara grimly "and Mort seems to be trained in Martial arts" Reborn opened a secret passage and started walking inside. This passage was about to take him right in front of the three teens.

"But, recent toys seem so real. Those looked like real knives." The statement got Tsuna surprised he was still a bit dirty and hurting from his fall so he didn't started shouting again. Mort didn't want to alert the sportsman to his wound so he slowed down to run behind the pack. After a several moments that no knives were thrown Tsuna felt relief coming over him. He was sure Reborn was over, that was until said baby showed up in the middle of their way holding a bow-gun, stated by him as he said "Next weapon is a bow-gun."

"Ghahaha..." came a shout from above Lambo, peered from his leveraged point over the group "Found you Reborn." Yamamoto was surprised just as much as Tsuna was and asked "Now what?" They could all clearly see the cow like baby. "No...No way" Tsuna mumbled, it was enough Reborn was trying to kill them, if Lambo started to join the 'party' they'll surely die. Lambo stood up, full of self importance and a steam. Seeing the group of unfamiliar people he started to introduce himself. "I am Lambo of the Bovino Family!" The cow baby shouted "I'm Lambo who came to junior high school even when he's 5 years old."

"I don't remember the chapter word for word; but I do remember he showed up." "The Bovino, never heard of them" Gukodara said to Reborn "What do you want to do Reborn-San?" Reborn ignored the annoying cow, making a note to have a talk with the head of the Bovino family about the stupid kid. He then smirked as an evil plan hatched in his brain and said "Continue." "Why do I have the nagging feeling this is going to hurt..." Mortimor mused to himself, as Reborn started shooting harpoons at the three boys who thought the 'game' was over.

The ignored cry baby, tried to hold back the tears. He encouraged himself saying "To-ler-ate." Looking at the scene bellow him he remembered his new weapon. "Oh! Yeah!" he shouted "The boss from Italy sent Lambo who's working hard a new weapon." The small boy fumbled in his larger Afro (he could fit himself inside. "Ta-Da!" He shouted as he revealed his new weapon "Missile Launcher."
The 5 years old shouted "Die Reborn" before shouting six missiles at the hitman.

"Wha...!" Tsuna shouted he was the first to look backwards and see the incoming missiles, Mortimor in response looked back and started running faster "O, that's why." The missiles exploded as they hit the ground pushing the group of three teens forward. "Darn lacked 10 more meters" Lambo murmured. Yamamoto looked back and exhaled making a "Phew!" sound before saying "Looks like if I take it easy I won't be able to pass" if not for his eyes Reborn would have believed the charade. Tsuna was flustered saying "Reborn! Let's stop this test! You saw that right?

Lambo started to shot was dangerous before now it was a death sentence from the heavens; there was no way they could survive this. Reborn put the bow gun in his pocket, Tsuna started to have a hint of faith in his tutor maybe he was human after all. Reborn smiled it was too easy. He took out a sub machine gun and said "Next weapon is a sub-machine gun." "Really you didn't see that one coming, the kid's the devil you should have just run away the moment he smiled" The hitman pointed the weapon at Tsuna forcing the later to run away for dear life.

If the bullets zooming around were not enough of a danger, Lambo just shot another barrage of missiles. Those weren't even close to Reborn and started flying towards the three. Reborn wasn't satisfied, (they were yet to be hurt well all but Mort who sacrificed himself for Tsuna), "Gukodara you can go loose too." He said to the watching silver haired teen. Feeling the boy was in conflict Reborn said "Think about killing Yamamoto, and do it."

The boy smiled as the wicked thought found home in his angry mind. "Oh...! That's too bad then. Since Reborn-San did suggest it..." he justified himself pulling out his dynamites. "Juudaime" he shouted. Tsuna turned around to see Gukodara wink at him "dodge this... please" the silver haired mobster wished in his head. On the railing Lambo drew out the ten years Bazooka and shouting "Damn you Reborn" traded places with his future self.

The older Lambo lifted the missile launcher and took aim. Ready he shouted "Thunder set," and lightning were summoned from the skies. Reborn switched the machine gun for a rocket missile and redid the shot "Next level's a Rocket Missile", while the bloodthirsty Gukodara (only for Yamamoto's) ignited six dynamite sticks and muttered "Die" at Yamamoto's direction.

All three released their attacks simultaneously, missiles, rockets and dynamites were headed at the three boys. "EHEEEEEEE" shouted Tsuna he could see his life coming to their bitter end, fitting to the bitter life he lead. "What the..." Yamamoto was worried even he couldn't dodge the full force of the upcoming explosion. "yup this is so going to hurt and bad..." "Yamamoto" shouted Mortimor as he caught one of Tsuna's hand, the black haired teen did the same and the two pulled the shocked boy away from the center of the explosion.

Seeing the explosion, Gukodara cursed himself "shit I over did it". He looked at the cloud of dust and started shouting "Juudaime...Are you all right Juudaime?" Reborn that stood right beside him pointed at a citrine point in the cloud and said "They are there" and indeed as the cloud vanished the three boys showed up. Tsuna was supported by the other two. "Phew...that was close." Yamamoto exclaimed "couldn't say it better."

Tsuna from who, for some weird reason raised a small stream of smoke, said "Only because you two saved me." Yamamoto and Mort put the exhausted Tsuna on the ground. Reborn swiftly arrived to face the two boys and said "Congratulations you passed the test. You're now an office part of the family." "Thanks" Yamamoto and Mort said almost in stereo. Gukodara joined them, and abruptly without warning caught Yamamoto by the collar of his shirt. The baseball player was worried he was about to hurt him. The silver haired boy then surprisingly smiled at Yamamoto and said "Good job," after he let go, Gukodara went on and said "You helped, protecting the Juudaime, so I have no choice to admit you into the family." He paused still a bit wary with adding the sportsman to the family "But, the right arm of the Juudaime is me. You're the shoulder blade."

Mortimor stopped listening when they started having a quarrel over who's more important. His ears were ringing and the cut is suffered started bleeding again as he set down and started treating himself "good thing I remembered to bring the first aid kit." Tsuna looked at him and saw what he was doing. "You're hurt" he squeaked. Mortimor laughed it took the brown haired teen, 15 minutes to notice this simple fact. Reborn interfered and said "He sacrificed his body to save you. He made you fall so a knife will miss your head." "Figures he noticed. "Tsuna was amazed here was a man he only met a few days ago but was willing to be hurt in order to save him.

"Really Reborn-San it's not like I did it because it was him. I would probably do it for any random stranger. I can't see people get hurt or suffer it's an impulse I have. I just help whenever I can." "It's a 'Karma' thing, good things happen to good people" "plus you said he was the boss it would have been a problem if he died" "who'll pay my rent. "Tsuna was surprised this man was so nice, putting all that happened aside, he was actually happy Reborn called him over.

"Well I am going to club practice" said Yamamoto his bag held over his shoulder. He looked at Reborn and said "See ya shorty" "the guy has a death wish..." Reborn smiled and simply said "OK" surprising the people who knew his true nature. Yamamoto started walking away and without turning back said "But those bombs and toys these days seem so real-" Reborn was about to burst into laughter as he saw the look on his students face. Mortimor just shook his head "Same old Yamamoto ".

"Should I give Tsuna a scare? Mm... I really hate doing this but it looks to be so much fun." "Well now that they are gone what do you say about me being your right hand man?" Mortimor asked Tsuna. The poor boy almost entered catatonic state hearing those words from, Mort that up till now acted like the only other Sane person around him. "Wha..." he started to say.

Mort burst out with laughter and said "Made my day. Sorry for the scare but you were so serious that I had to do it." Reborn nodded his head in agreement. "Well I should be off too until I get my money" Mort gave Reborn a stern look "I need to work at odd jobs to pay the rent."

Walking away he could hear Tsuna say "Rigor-Senpai that was not fair." "Yup, it's definitely a day maker." He ran away as he laughed full heatedly. Reborn who looked at the scene was amused by the older boy. Although he wasn't prepared to trust the boy with all his heart, the way he acted and cared for Tsuna told him he wasn't a threat for now. He will need more proof before he'll drop his guard around him. The hitman then kicked his stupid student and forced him to drag him on his skateboard all the way home.

A few days later:

Mortimor was at his newest job. He was packing grocery bags in the supermarket. As he was nearing the end of his shift (five minutes to go) a familiar figure stepped into the line at which he worked. "Tsuna-San, what's up?" Tsuna, who was currently staring at a blank spot in the ceiling, jumped hearing his name. The surprised boy searched the source of the call and saw Mort stuffing his buyouts into a bag. Noticing the cashier was over with his groceries he paid her with his mother's money and went over to Mortimor.

"Rigor-Senpai, what are you...doing?" the older boy held a finger marking Tsuna to be quiet as he looked at his watch. Counting with his fingers down from five he said "and...Done." he took down the store apron and said "Well to your question until a few seconds ago I was working here. So how is my boss doing?" he lifted a few of Tsuna's bags and walked outside.

Tsuna grabbed the remaining bags and followed. "Rigor-Senpai, please don't call me like that. I don't want to be a mafia boss. And to your question I am OK I just don't like the heat" "No one likes it this country is so moist that I sweat like a perverted old man, in a bikini fashion show." "Tsuna-San I already told you my friends call me Mort; Although Mort-Senpai has a nice ring to it." Mortimor waited for Tsuna to lead the way. Tsuna did so and the two were on their way to Tsuna home.

Half way there the two saw a bicycle rider riding to their direction. "A mummy bicycle and goggles?" asked Tsuna, Mort flinched at the mention of his greatest fear. Looking at Tsuna he said with a shaking tone "Tsuna-San please never mention mommies ever again." The usually brave teen was swathing more then before and was breathing in a very heavy manner.

Tsuna was about to ask way when the rider stopped by the two teens and took off her helmet. The face under it was beautiful. Tsuna thought she looked European but had some Japanese treats probably a mix of the two. The rider looked at Tsuna and pulled out a can of coke. "Please have it, if you like it." she said before throwing the can at him and moving on.

Before he even reached for to catch it, Mortimor snatched it and gulped most of the can in one go. He throw the can to the side passing his hand over his mouth saying "ha...Much better." A hissing voice came from the discarded can. Tsuna looked as a cloud of purple smoke climbed from the can; a crow who inhaled the smoke collapsed and fell to the ground.

Making one for one, a feat even the mathematical failure Tsuna could accomplish he shouted "Mort-San we need to take you to the hospital that drink was poisoned." He was in panic, Mort was forced to join his family by Reborn; and now he was about to die because of it.

"O fuck that was probably Bianchi... and I drank from the can...wait I survived?"Mort looked at the can and the diseased crow and said "Must have been a weak one. Last time I was poisoned, I was in a worse shape then that crow" "Yea that Mayan poisoned dart was a real bitch, my father might be a gambler who uses betting on his son's skills (durability and speed) to get money, but he knows all about poisons and antidotes." He crossed his arm over his head and marched forward the begs of grocery dangling from his hand. When he passed over the turn to Tsuna's house the later remembered his friend didn't know where to go and shouted "Mort-San it's over here."

Mort turned around and punched himself in the end while putting out his tongue in an idiotic manner. The act made Tsuna start laughing and the two quickly arrived to his house. After, they left the begs in the kitchen and helped Nana, Tsuna's mom put things at their appropriate place, the two entered Tsuna's room.

The scene that welcomed them was not pretty. Reborn's face was filled with Hercules Beatles. "Ngyaaaa." Tsuna shouted in surprise, Mortimor just entered the room with a straight face "i have seen worse...no not going there bad memories." The astonished Tsuna asked his tutor "Do you emit tree sap?"

The hitman turned to Tsuna and said "These guys are my summer minions. They collect information." "again I have seen worse...still not going there." The bugs started to scatter as Reborn moved his head towards Tsuna.

"Dose that mean you can talk bug language!" asked a surprised Tsuna, yet another mystery about Reborn. Number 46 by his count (the first ten are mostly related to his form). One would think that living with Reborn at the same house would prepare you to everything but Tsuna was a lost cause.

Reborn looked at his gawking student. Mortimor just set there calm as a calm (AN: couldn't resist). Reborn made a mantle note to learn the boys history. Usually the minion gig would leave people at the same state as Tsuna."With that I was able to grab hold of information that Bianchi is in town."

"Bianchi...? Who's that?" Tsuna asked. Mortimor laughed inwardly at the up and coming events.

"A former fellow hitman" Reborn answered with a snide smile. Tsuna began to fear and shouted "What?" Images of babies like Reborn, Strong armed men, and suited Italians ran in Tsuna's brain as he tried to imagine this 'Bianchi' fellow. While consumed in his thoughts the door bell rang. "Italian Pizza delivery" said a muffled female voice. Mortimor followed Tsuna down stairs as his 'boss' went to open the door.

Going down the stairs Tsuna said "Pizza? Wasn't mom home?" as he reached for he door the beautiful figure of the foreign women he saw earlier today greeted him. The women discarded her helmet and was holding a tray of pizza with the painting of a purple scorpion."Thanks for waiting. A delivery of calm pizza."

Tsuna seemed to be unable to keep his moth closed today gawking once more as he said "You-You're the girl from earlier!" Mort arrived to see Bianchi put a gas mask on her face and open the pizza tray, while saying "Enjoy". Purple fumes spread from the pizza inside. Slowly engulfing Tsuna and Bianchi.

Mort hoped he was immune as he believed. He stepped forward throw the purple smoke and took the tray from Bianchi closing it before saying "thank you" "Thank you. O... unholy, abusive, father for years of healing me from poisoning you caused." He took the try and went to the leaving room where he set to the table and started devouring the pizza "this thing's delicious, if you live after tasting it". Tsuna, Reborn and Bianchi who discarded her mask looked at him as he ate the poisoned beverage.

"That's just wrong." said Tsuna, the other two nodded. As they were as you'd say 'back to buissness' Reborn said "Caiossu Bianchi" his face directed at the pizza girl as Tsuna called her. "Reborn" Bianchi whispered a slight blush showing on her chick. "EH? This girl is Bianchi? More like why am I on the verge of being murdered-?"

Bianchi stood in a very shy posture her face fully red by now "I'm here to bring you back, let's do another big job together Reborn." Tsuna was stroke by the statement why would anyone want Reborn back in his life. "A peaceful place does not suit you Reborn," Bianchi continued," The place where you belong is the dark world where it is the most dangerous and thrilling." The sound of chocking was heard from the leaving room and they saw Mortimor punching his chest. The boy stopped and turned to them smiling and saying "Took a big bait and didn't chew,"the group sweat dropped "By the way Bianchi-San, grate pizza." he gave her the thumbs up and went back to devouring the questionable pizza.

The group looked at each other and shook their heads as if saying leave him alone. "I told you Bianchi I have a job to raise Tsuna, so I can't." Bianchi acted as though she was convinced. Her face fell down and her body language made her look defeated. "Poor Reborn" she murmured. Her face suddenly brightened up as she said "unless the tenth dies due to an accident or something Reborn won't be free again."

"Wha!" Tsuna tried to talk as he understood the assassin's motives "is that why she tried to kill me ? The way you think is weird!" The female assassin turned to the door and looking back said "I'll go home for now. When the tenth is murd..." "whops your tongue slipped""when the tenth is dead, I'll come back to bring you back again..."

Tsuna was amazed from the women and shouted "What the heck are you saying?" the women left without answering and closed the door. Reborn and Tsuna joined Mort in the living room where he was laying back on the chair. As they set down he burped a small purple cloud.

"What's up with this women?" Tsuna shouted Mort leaned forward to hear the explanation. Reborn was happy to explain "She's a freelance hitman called 'Poison Scorpion'. Her special skill is to feed people her poison cooking."

"Another weird one is here! whats wrong with your world!" they both looked at Mort as he burped another purple cloud with stoic gazes. The auburn teen felt the tension and said "What it was good." Tsuna mind froze as he understood what Mort just ate. "In all my years of knowing Bianchi you are off the three selected few who can survive her cooking. Her and myself are the others and that's because of our bond what's your story."

"Well I would ask me if I were in his position""Well my father was an archeologist and I had the bad luck to be poisoned every other time. After a few times I survived some deadly poison with his help I developed a mild immunity to must poisons. " "That father sounds as spartan as Reborn" thought Tsuna. Reborn was thinking in similar lines "maybe I should ask him what his father did, and call Bianchi to feed Tsuna until he's immune."

"And if you want to know, after what I went through on our joined trips Its really hard to surprise me. and I'll probably believe everything." added Mort. He erased all memory of his father's antidote, he knew what Reborn was probably thinking.

Satisfied Tsuna thought back at the events and said "By the why...Bianchi-San (An:i think you''ll respect anyone after your life...unless you are Reborn then you don't need too) seems to favor you a lot." he pointed a blaming finger at the baby.

"Bianchi loves me." Reborn stated"Stalker love you" "We want out at some point too." "I just have to see that" Tsuna was surprised by the unbelievable statement. This baby who looked no younger then two years old; dated a gorgeous lady like Bianchi. He then remembered Reborn said he was older then he looks so maybe it wasn't that unbelievable.

Blushing Tsuna asked "W...Went out ?" he tried to cope with the idea, imagining several scenes "So she was your girlfriend?" No use it was just unbelievable. Mort was in a desperate fight, Tsuna's reaction was so funny he wanted to laugh but he just didn't have it in him.

"I'm popular with the women." Reborn stated his face stoic as ever. He lifted for fingers and said "Bianchi was my fourth lover." Tsuna wasn't able to cope anymore the idea was preposterous. "Do you even know what's the meaning of this words you just said?" He shouted at Reborn. Mortimor just couldn't help it anymore it was too damn hilarious he fell back from his chair and rolled on the floor luaghing.
