Haha good morning. Thanks for the sweet wake up to hits. So sweet. Though I guess it's not morning anymore… I started writing this as soon as I woke up but I sleep a lot and am a super slow typist. I should work on that, actually.

27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27 27

"Tsu-kun, you're going to be late!" Nana yelled from the kitchen, knowing full well he had a good half hour before he needed to set off. He normally wake up earlier though, so she was worried.

Tsuna jolted up from his bed in a cold sweat. His breathing soon calmed down and he wondered what he had just dreamed about. One thing he was certain of though, was that he knew this Mukuro the two from yesterday were talking about. It was unnerving because he also knew he didn't know him. It was weird for his intuition to clash like it was, but in some way…it felt like it wasn't clashing.

He sighed, deciding to think more on it later. He put on his uniform and quickly got ready so that he could eat breakfast before he went. As he headed down the stairs his head throbbed, and he almost fell. Skillfully, he caught himself and he wondered what the hell was going on with him today.

"Tsu-kun, are you all right?" Nana stepped out of the kitchen to check up on him. He brushed off his hands before waving it off. Nana huffed a little, heading back into the kitchen, "You really should be more careful. Breakfast is ready."

Tsuna smiled a little and followed her. She started washing her dishes and the dishes she cooked with.

Tsuna began to eat his eggs and toast when a thought occurred to him. Setting down his chopsticks for a moment, he turned to his mother, kind of excited, "Actually, there was a transfer student at my school yesterday. He was pretty interesting."

Nana turned her head halfway to show she was listening, "Really? That sounds fun! Maybe you should get to know him. He's probably all alone since he just moved to a new school and all."

"Hmmm…" Tsuna thought back to the smirking toddler, "Nah, but he does sit in front of me."

"Even more reason! You really should make some friends, this house feels so empty at times. Ah!" She put a hand to her mouth before turning to him with a bright smile, "But it's never lonely for Mama when Mama's with you, Tsu-kun!"

Tsuna laughed a bit, grabbing another bite of toast. "I don't know though, he seems like he'd be hard to talk to, and he looks like a toddler! Even his name's weird, 'Reborn' or whatever. He didn't even show us the kanji! He just wrote it in—"

There was a crash and Tsuna turned to see a soapy plate scattered on the floor, his mom hunching over. He got up and rushed to her to see what was wrong, "Kaa-chan?" She wasn't responding to him and there was some blood on her finger, "Okaa-chan, you're bleeding!" He started to stand up to get some first aid supplies but Nana grabbed his hand, stopping him.

"No, Tsu-kun don't go!" She was crying now, Tsuna furrowed his eyebrows. What was wrong with her? What did he do? Say? It's not like he was going far, just to the bathroom.

He shook off her hand, "I need to get some bandages, Kaa-chan, you're hurt." He went upstairs to the bathroom. He opened the cupboards and found some rubbing alcohol, a red hand towel, and band aids. He grabbed them in a hurry and ran down the stairs. His mom hadn't moved. Tsuna gently guided her to sit in a chair at the table and wiped away the blood. Nana was silent as he tended to her wound. He cleaned up the broken plate and rinsed the soapy floor before drying it.

Once he was done, he looked worriedly at the kitchen clock. He really didn't want to get bitten to death by a certain prefect, "I'm late for school, will you be okay by yourself?"

Nana looked up fiercely, "You can't." She shook her head, pleading, "Please Tsu-kun, you can't go to school today." She hiccupped, "Not now."

He frowned, "But I thought…" Tsuna sighed, knowing that whatever his mother's reasoning was it must have been important, to her if not anyone else. And if it was important to her, then it was important to him. "It's okay, I'm not going. I'll stay."

She smiled back before pushing up her sleeves, probably hoping to encourage herself, or him, "Well I should go call you in sick—are you going to finish your breakfast?"

Tsuna spent most of his day training and checking up on his mom. Whenever he did, she seemed fine and kept telling him not to worry. He expected to go to school the next day, only his mom asked him kindly to stay again. So he did. He spent the whole day training in the hope that it would cheer his mom up. This happened a couple more days until she told him she was going to be transferring him to a different school. He wanted to argue because new schools wouldn't have Kyoko in them, but instead he stayed silent.

Reborn glared at the transfer papers of one Sawada, Tsunayoshi. He tucked them away, leaving the only papers left in his hand make up work for the very same Sawada, Tsunayoshi. Perhaps the reason Dame-Tsuna didn't react to being teased before was actually because he knew he wouldn't be there any longer anyway. That brat was more pathetic than he had previously thought. Running away never solves anything. If worst came to worst then he could just forge some papers making it seem like someone more worthy was related to the Vongola. He wouldn't really mind but he had a feeling the Ninth would be pissed.

Something simpler would be to persuade the Sawadas to stay at his current school. Forging those papers could be a cinch as well. He and Smokin' Bomb had already infiltrated his school, if they followed him to the next one it would be incredibly suspicious. Not that he was really going for subtle, but still. And it wasn't like the boy even knew that Smokin' Bomb transferred to his school either because he'd been hiding away in his house like a pathetic little Dame-Tsuna.

He knocked on the door to his charge's house. There was movement towards the door and he noticed a pause when the person reached it. They were probably checking through the peep-hole. The door opened a small crack to reveal a fairly young looking woman with brown hair. Reborn recognized her from the pictures Iemitsu showed him. She was as cute as he said, kind of like his Dame-son. They were definitely related, anyway.

"Ara? And who might you be?" She opened the door a tiny bit, but it still wasn't open enough for Reborn to see inside. She was a cautious one.

Reborn smirked, "Reborn, and you must be Maman."

She smiled a bit, feigning obliviousness, "Are you one of Tsuna's old classmates?"

"Yeah, can I see him? He has some make up work to do."

She frowned, putting a hand to her chin, "But he doesn't go there anymore…One minute, I'll check with him first."

"Sure."

She shut the door and Reborn heard the distinct sound of a lock and a chain lock. 'Very cautious indeed, Maman.' He mused, impressed.

She came back after a bit, and opened the door slightly, "I'm sorry but he doesn't want to see anyone right now. I could take him the papers for you though, if you'd like."

Reborn shook his head, "The teacher wanted me to explain them as well."

"Well then, he doesn't need them." She frowned, "Because that's never happened before, and he really is changing schools."

Reborn stayed unfazed, "That's because there will be a project based on some of these handouts later. It's not like they'll teach different things at his new school, the curriculum will be the same."

"But not the projects." A huff could be heard from the door.

He tried to play the guilt card and his face fell, "I just want to make sure he was doing okay."

"I don't think you do." She frowned, "Please don't bother us anymore, Reborn-kun." She slammed the door shut and locked it. Reborn placed the make-up sheets at the door before turning around, 'She knows something.' He growled lightly to himself as he made deliberate steps away from the door, 'Damn Iemitsu, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind when I get my hands on him.'

As he passed, he looked up at the window on the second floor, thoughtful.

After some time Nana took the papers and brought them up to Tsuna. She felt bad for lying to Reborn but she couldn't stand to see this happening. She knocked once before entering his room. He was laying down, sweating. He must have worked himself pretty hard today. "Tsu-kun?"

He turned to her, "Ah, Kaa-chan. Who was at the door?"

She hesitated before handing him the papers, "It was Reborn-kun, he came to deliver these."

"Really?" He blinked, wondering why someone other than Kyoko or Hana took the time to deliver them. "I should have gone and thanked him…"

She shook her head, "It's fine Tsu-kun, I'm sure he just wanted to do something for his classmate. No thanks required." She smiled. Tsuna sat up, curious at her behavior. Normally in a situation like this, she would practically force him to go thank them. He shook it off though, chalking it up to his one of his mom's moments.

Well not many interactions in this chapter, just over protective and mood swinging Nana. This will be explained one day; however, that day is not today. Sorry.

Poor Tsuna, he doesn't want to go to a new school, even if he is treated bad at his current one.

So is this chapter length okay? Is it still too short? I don't know.

I was trying to incorporate the plot more before I had Tsuna interact with his guardians but I think I might change that up a bit, we'll see how it goes. Thanks for the support! See ya.
