Rin: Here's chapter 4~~ Man, I'm obsessed with writing stories…

Reborn: And I'm pretty sure you'll update daily right?

Rin: Most probably… I wonder what's wrong with me…=. =

Tsuna: You're both crazy! TT^TT

Rin/Reborn: We're ignoring you…

"So…How do we get back?" Tsuna asked Reborn with a curious, yet worried face. "Beats me…But I think we can ask Verde about it…" Reborn replied, adjusting his fedora. "Ehh? Verde? No way! He almost killed us in the Arcobaleno trails and during the first generation inheritance! How can we still trust him?" Tsuna shrieked in terror.

Reborn can't help but to face palm himself. "Dame-Tsuna, use your brains a little…We're in a parallel world now…Everyone is different here…They're not as violent as you think they are anymore…Well, maybe except a few…" And you're one of them… Tsuna thought shuddering to himself, forgetting the fact that Reborn was a mind reader. "Hmm? What was that you said?" The Arcobaleno gave him a deep, dark stare that cause the poor brunette to jolt up in fear.

"HIEEE! I didn't mean it! I'm sorry!" Tsuna shook his head and hands in protest. "But, wait…. Reborn, does your parallel self know Verde?"

The hitman sighed. Reborn then took out a small card from his pocket and gave it to Tsuna. "It seems like we're business partners in this world…" He sighed once again. Scary… Reborn and Verde being business partners? Just scary… Tsuna thought shuddering again as he looked at the card.

"Oh my! It seems that you two are having a great time together!" Nana suddenly opened the door, smiling cheerfully, and carrying some snacks on a tray. "K-Kaa-san! You're here with the snacks! Thanks! I was just getting a little hungry!" The brown hair teen exclaimed, surprised by his mother's sudden intrusion.

"Well, then I shall not disturb the both of you…Call me if you need anything!" Nana said, after laying the snacks on the table, then left the room.

That was close…Can't afford to let kaa-san know what Reborn and I are discussing about… Tsuna gave a loud sigh. After finishing the snacks, Reborn was the first to speak up. "Since we're done here, let's go and find Verde…" The hitman then stood up, preparing to leave the room. "HIEEE? Now?" Tsuna exclaimed in surprise.

"We can't afford to waste any time here already, Dame-Tsuna…" Reborn replied back calmly.

Tsuna then realised that Reborn had a point. He wanted to go back. He really did. Even though he had the Reborn he knew by his side, but that wasn't enough… It just wasn't.

"Ok….Let's go…" Both of them then made their way quietly and carefully trying not to get caught, but they still could not escape Nana's sharp eyes. "Oh? Tsu-kun, you're going out with Reborn-sensei?" Tsuna smiled back at his mother nervously. "Err…Yeah…We were going to the library to get some reference books…" Reborn just merely smiled at the lady.

"I see…Be back early!" Nana said to her son as they left the house. Kids nowadays…I hope they don't push themselves too hard… Nana thought smiling, before returning to wash her dishes.

"So where's Verde?" Tsuna asked his tutor. "Well, according to my research so far…He should be in the library…" Tsuna sweat drop. Library….How 'predictable'… Soon, they arrived at the Namimori Library. It was not very crowded so they could easily spot Verde concentrating on a book from a distance.

Just as they were going to approach Verde, a sweet and caring voice called out to them.

"Sawada-san! It's so surprising to see you here!" Tsuna turned around, shocked. "Kyo- I mean Sasagawa-chan, I-It's surprising to see you here too…" It seems that Kyoko was studying with Hana in the library today. "Well, isn't it surprising to see Dame-Tsuna in the library…And you're with….Who is this?" Hana asked, glancing up at the man with the fedora. "Pleasure to meet you…My name is Reborn, I'm Tsuna's home tutor."

Hana smirked a little. "Looks like your mother has finally hired a tutor for you…Hope that your results will 'somehow' go up…" This made Tsuna twitched. "Hana! Let's go! Well, see you tomorrow Sawada-san!" Kyoko glared at her friend, before smiling at Tsuna, and dragging her friend out of the library.

That was a close call…I almost called her Kyoko-chan… Tsuna let out a sigh of relief. As Reborn read Tsuna thoughts, the smile on his face got wider…wait…or was it a grin?

"Now let's get back to our main problem…" Reborn continued, dragging Tsuna with him towards Verde's seat. "W-Wait a minute!" Tsuna squealed. As soon as Verde heard Tsuna's voice, he looked up, surprised. "R-Reborn…What are you doing here? I thought that you were supposed to be in Italy right now…"

"I had an errand to run back here, so that's why I came back…By the way, I need your help…" The brunette watch in shock as Reborn and Verde talked like they were old friends, and knew each other really well.

Tsuna sweat drop once again.

The scientist seems to have taken interest to what Reborn had told him, and agreed to help them to solve their current problem. "So which means…You aren't the Reborn I know in the world…You're from another parallel universe…" Reborn simply nodded as Verde began to take down notes. "Interesting…" Verde murmured to himself silently.

So in the end, Verde told the both of them to wait for his call as he was going to research on what are 'parallel worlds' and how to get from one to another. "All we can do now is wait…" Reborn told Tsuna as they make their way back to the Sawada residence.

"Ah, welcome back!" Nana welcome Reborn and Tsuna back with a smile on her face.

"We're home!" Both of them too smiled, replying back…
