Sigh. Yes, this story is a few days late. Please don't remind me. I seem to be overwhelmed by the amount my mind needs to process, so even if I have all the ideas for the next chapter in my head, I still need to get them back in order.

So the first part of this chapter will be informational and then the story will continue after that.

Please tell me what you think of this chapter!

Information

So it has come to my attention (thank you tazdevil!) that I haven't been very descriptive of Tsuna and I realized that more than one person may be curious. So I've decided to put in a small section at the beginning of this chapter to not only describe Tsuna, but Vongola Academy's uniform as well!

First of all, the uniform:

It's actually quite simple! Formal Attire. The boys are basically wearing suits but instead of a jacket, they wear a vest. The girl's uniform is basically the same, but they wear skirts instead of dress pants. Vests are optional. Students are allowed to personalize their uniforms with small accessories, not including ties which should match the uniform. But if the adornments go overboard in quantity, are too flash, or become provocative, they will be confiscated (this is a wealthy and classy school, so they do have standards). Girls are also allowed to wear heels as long as they do not exceed three inches. All shoes must be black in color. Girls are also allowed to wear shorts underneath their skirt, as long as they don't show. Boys can choose a shoe color of either black or brown.

During the Fall and Winter seasons, students are allowed to wear sweaters (remember the dark blue one Yamamoto wore in the anime? Same color). The uniform color for this season is a black suit. Spring and Summer uniforms are gray, ties included.

Students are allowed to wear whatever they want after school hours. Special events also require formal wear, but the students don't have to wear their uniforms. Boys must wear black or brown socks. Girls are restricted to either stockings or knee length socks.

Gym attire consists of simple black shorts (slightly above mid-thigh for the girls), a white t-shirt, and mostly white shoes (mostly because students are allowed to choose their own workout shoes). Both are specially ordered for the school and are originally made for professional athletes (for the sarcastic minded, this is a good time to question the school's choice of using their budget; Tsuna certainly has). Under armor in either black or white is allowed during cold weather.

Now for Tsuna!

Tsuna has long brown hair, the length reaching about mid-back, hardly ever tied up. Her bangs, for a lack of a better visual description, can be compared to Bel's; they completely cover her eyes as of this moment. If Tsuna chooses to take care of her hair after taking her morning shower (which usually doesn't happen), then she'll have smooth, glossy hair. On the mornings she doesn't, then her hair frizzes up badly, to the point that the top of her head is a fuzz ball (bangs do not apply; they are never frizzy oddly enough). She is of average height, but seems shorter since she chooses not to wear heels like most of the other girls. She has big eyes, just like the cannon Tsuna. Tsuna doesn't have any visible trinkets, other than a chain sporting a couple of rings that are usually hidden under her shirt. She does have curves, but she wears her shirt slightly untucked so that they are not clearly defined. She tends to wear knee length socks, since she wears shorts underneath her skirt (her reasoning is for another time).

On a side note: if Tsuna's hair is cut to about chin length, then it will start to defy gravity and she will look like the cannon Tsuna, which is the main reason that she grows it out so long.

I should also remind everyone that Tsuna transferred into the school in the last few months of sixth grade (the last year of primary school), and is now a few months into her first year in middle school. That means that she is 14!

Now this is important! Tsuna's appearance will be changing a little in the near future! When that time comes, then I'll try to make sure that I give you a proper description in the story itself. If there is anything else that anyone would like me to give a clearer description of, then let me know and I'll put it at the beginning of the next chapter, unless I think that it would be better to do it in the story or if it will be coming up in a later chapter.

Story!

Chapter 7 A Demonic Night Out

It was dark outside and the two teenagers now forced to live together had just finished a rather pleasant dinner, including of only a few insults and several death threats from both sides. Now getting close to bedtime, Reborn and Tsuna were faced with their first real major problem of the day.

It wasn't clothing. Reborn planned to break into Tsuna's room via her window the next morning, and she was perfectly fine with using one of his numerous dress shirts as her temporary pajama with only a small sarcastic, 'honestly Reborn, have you ever heard of casual clothes?'.

No, the problem lay in their sleeping arrangements.

While Tsuna was vehemently arguing that she was merely a guest and should not take up any more of Reborn's hospitality (no matter how forced), Reborn was arguing that it was because she was female and a guest that she should be the one to use the bed, though his kindness was slighted by his insults of how unattractive and plain Tsuna was compared to the other girls in the school.

Apparently, the penthouse like dorm didn't come with a guest bedroom.

Go figure.

"Just shut up, you asshole! I said I would sleep on the god damned couch!" Tsuna shouted.

"Shut up, Dame-Tsuna. I'm done arguing this with you," Reborn growled as he grabbed the girl and hoisted her, kicking and screaming, over his shoulder and carried her to the bedroom. He tossed her onto the bed and was about to walk away but the brunette caught his wrist, preventing him from leaving.

The brunette tightened her hold on the boy, and catching him off guard, she pulled him down onto the bed as well. She twisted around swiftly so that she was straddling the boy with her hands on his chest. "I don't need you charity," the girl growled.

Reborn threw the brunette off and switched their positions so that now he was straddling her waist, his hands pinning her wrist down beside her head. "Who said this was charity. Maybe I just want you to be in my debt."

"That's even worse!" Tsuna spat as she struggled to push the male off of her. "Will you get off me!"

Reborn tightened his hold, but made also made sure that he wouldn't hurt the small girl. "Depends, will you stop arguing and just take the bed already?"

"No! It's your room, so you take it!" Tsuna huffed and stopped struggling. Reborn was way stronger than she could ever hope to be and this position didn't offer her any leverage. She glared at the boy on top of her.

"I don't need the bed," Reborn said evenly. He finally got off Tsuna.

Tsuna pushed herself up and frowned at the boy. "How about we compromise?"

Reborn raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"Well, why don't we both sleep on the bed?" Tsuna clarified.

It took a great deal of the raven haired boy's self-control to keep his blush hidden away. Was this girl really that innocent? Did she not understand the implications of her words?

"I used to share a bed with Giotto when we slept over at each other's houses," Tsuna continued, like she hadn't said anything wrong. "We stopped when Giotto started going to middle school though. He said it was because the bed was too small to share by that time."

'Oho? The stupid blond seems to like this strange girl more than I originally speculated.' Reborn smirked. He had initially thought that the blond bore a strong brotherly love toward the brunette, but if what she said was true, then Reborn just got his hands on some valuable blackmail.

"So will that be alright with you?" Tsuna finished off, breaking Reborn out of his plans of how to mess with the idiot president.

Reborn stared at the girl. She didn't seem uncomfortable with the idea, despite all of her misgivings of the boy, so perhaps it would be alright. It's not like he was attracted to her anyways…Right?

"Fine. Scoot over." Reborn climbed onto the bed and pulled over the sheets.

Tsuna crawled over to the other side of the bed and pulled the sheets up to her neck. The two of them were the farthest away from each other as possible. "Night, Reborn."

The other answered with a soft snore.

It was in the middle of the night when Reborn suddenly awoke. He was a light sleeper, a defense mechanism he taught himself at an early age (don't ask why, he just did). He looks down at the source that had awoken him.

'I should have known that she was the snuggling type,' he thought wearily. At some point during the night, both he and Tsuna had ended up in the middle of the bed. He could have just flipped the girl off the bed, but he was warm and comfortable (not to mention that the brunette had a rather tight grip and he wasn't willing to admit that it would take a little work to pry her off), so he'd let it go for now. With that, Reborn drifted back to sleep.

The next morning when Tsuna opened her eyes, the first thing that registered in her mind was that Reborn's face was about an inch from her own.

'Huh, whatever. It's just Reborn.' With that thought Tsuna let go of the boy and rolled over.

…

'Holy Shit! Reborn!' Tsuna mentally shouted as she bolted out of the bed with a "Hiiiiie!" (As was normal). She did so with enough force to send her tumbling off the side. Before she could sit up though, a pillow whacked her in the face.

"Shut up, Dame-Tsuna. Don't scream at the sight of my face." Reborn twisted his neck a little till it gave a satisfactory pop.

"Well sorry~. I wasn't expecting to see the devil first thing in the morning, so pardon my near death heart attack," Tsuna grumbled.

The rest of the morning was rather uneventful. While Reborn broke into her room (Tsuna cursing under her breath the entire time, vowing to install a new lock later), the brunette girl whipped up a nice breakfast. Reborn made it back just as she finished, to Tsuna's utter horror as she was hoping to eat at least a few of her meals separately. Once again a few threats and insults were thrown back in forth, before their dishes were placed in the dishwasher while Tsuna went to change into her uniform. Luce came over in time to escort Tsuna to her classroom, waving with a cheery goodbye and a promise that they would meet in the Arcobaleno's meeting room for lunch before Tsuna opened the door and entered the classroom. The rest of the day went on as it normally did for the brunette…

Not.

During her last class before lunch break, Tsuna's intuition suddenly flared. Faster than the naked eye could follow, the brunette gathered all of her possessions and opened the window next to her, hopping up onto the edge.

"Sawada! What do you think you're doing?" The teacher demanded.

"Sorry, Sensei," Tsuna said apologetically as she looked over her shoulder. "But I have to leave right now."

"Wha-" The teacher was interrupted by the classroom door opening.

"Sorry for interrupting, but I need- Tsuna!" G called out as his sight landed on the girl.

"Not good." Tsuna jumped, ignoring the shouts of alarm behind her. She could understand their shock, since it was unlikely for a normal to come out unscathed after jumping out of a second floor window. But then again, she wasn't normal.

Tsuna landed gracefully and took off running, making a beeline for the forest so that she could hide amongst the trees. But even with her head start, the others were on her trail and were gaining fast.

She put on a burst of speed and ran over to the office building, running through a side door and sprinting up the stairs. She then proceeded to burst through a set of double doors, dodging a bottle while she was at it.

"Yo, Xanxus. Everyone. Talk to you in a minute," Tsuna said quickly as she swung herself up and into a special hidden vent that was built just for her to hide in, thanks to the Varia.

Everyone, figuring that the girl was running away from someone, continued as they were and only looked up when the door burst open again.

"Crap! I was sure that she ran in here," G muttered.

"Shows how much you know, idiot pinkie," Gokudera grumbled.

"Kufufufu," Mukuro chuckled, though it was apparent that he was not amused. "You're all rather useless."

"Guys, I don't think this is a good place to argue," Giotto said uneasily.

"Tsuna-nee! Lambo-san demands you play with him!" The small cow child yelled.

"What are you doing here scum," Xanxus demanded, having enough of being ignored.

Giotto laughed a little nervously, Xanxus must be pretty mad to revert back to scum. "Hey there cousin. Have you seen Tsuna-chan pass through here by any chance?"

"Ushishishi, the prince has not seen la principessa for too long," Bel chuckled.

"I think I saw Tsu-Tsu running outside a little while ago," Lusseria told the group. "She looked quite desperate! What have you been doing to our poor Tsu-Tsu?"

"Tch. This is none of your concern," Gokudera growled.

Yamamoto just laughed. "Now, now Gokudera. They're just curious is all!"

"Shut up, Yakyū-Baka!" Gokudera yelled.

"VOOOI! Will you pieces of trash get out!" Squalo yelled while waving his sword around.

"It's obvious that Tsuna doesn't want to see any of you right now, so you should just leave," Mammon said uncaringly as he walked into the room.

"Wow. You must be really annoying perverted stalkers since Fuzzball-san is running away," Fran said unemotionally. "You must be even worse than the fake prince and the stupid mustache."

"Shishishi. I'm not a fake prince." Bel threw several knives at the teal haired boy.

Fran sucked in a little air. "Bel-senpai, stop throwing your stupid knives at me, or Tsuna-san is going to get mad at you."

"Kufufufu. Well if it isn't little Fran." Mukuro chuckled again.

"VOOOII! You know these brats, Fran!" Squalo shouted.

The young boy ignored the other in favor of his old acquaintance. "Ah! What is the perverted pineapple master doing here?" Despite his words, Fran still looked emotionless.

A vein popped on Mukuro's temple. "Insolent little brat. It looks like you need more training from your master."

"Nufufufu. Calm down little brother," Daemon interjected. "We have more pressing matters at hand."

"Oh no~! The idiotic melon big brother is here too," Fran said in mock horror, yet still in his usual monotone.

A vein popped on Daemon's temple this time. "Hmmm~ Sounds like the little froggy hasn't learned to keep his mouth shut. Shall I help teach this lesson?"

"Guys, take care of this later! We have to find Tsuna," Giotto interrupted, glancing back repeatedly at the Varia's leader, whose temper was visibly rising.

"Giotto's right," G agreed. "Let's get going."

"But I'm so tired," Lampo complained. "Can't we wait for her back at her room?"

"Oh! Does anyone know where Alaude and Kyoya-kun went?" Asari asked suddenly.

"Extremely not good!" Ryohei shouted.

"Don't worry," Knuckles said soothingly. "Those two are more than capable of taking care of themselves."

"They'll probably find Tsuna first at this rate, so let's go," Giotto urged.

A shot fired and the group looked around to see a bullet imbedded into the doorframe, smoking a little, and turning back they were met with the sight of a very pissed Xanxus.

"Get lost scum, before I kill you all." The crimson eyed boy glared menacingly at the group.

"How dare you threaten Primo/Pres!" Gokudera and G shouted at the same time.

"Not now!" Giotto hissed. "Sorry for bothering you, Cousin. We're going now."

The blond Student Council President, Asari, and Knuckles all ushered the rest of the group out of the room before they could anger the Varia leader and captain any further.

The leader of the Varia waited for a second before calling out to the hidden brunette. "Oi, Sawada. They're gone."

"Oh thank god," came out muffled before the door slid open and the brunette came out. "I thought those idiots would never leave. Thanks Xanxus-san, Everyone. I guess I owe you for this one. I'll try to pay you back soon, but right now I've got to find another hiding place before Hibari-san and Alaude-san come in here to investigate. Later."

Xanxus merely nodded in acknowledgment and returned to his previous action of studying the crimson liquid in his wine glass, watching the brunette leave from his peripheral vision.

Tsuna immediately blended into the shadows of the forest the moment she made it outside, but her intuition flared again and she was barely 20 feet from the office building. She just knew that it was the two people she wanted to meet the least, as there was zero to none of a chance that she could evade them.

'Crap! How am I going to make it out of this one? There's only so many places that I can hide!' The rest of Tsuna's thoughts were cut short when she was suddenly yanked into the air and a hand clamped down over her mouth, muting her shout.

"Be quiet, Dame-Tsuna. Or they'll find you."

'Why is it, that my life has now come down to me needing a demon to save me?' Tsuna mentally sobbed. 'And how did he even find me! I was sure that I hid my presence!'

"There's no way that someone as pathetic as you could hide your presence from me, Baka-Tsuna," Reborn muttered into her ear.

'Enough with the adding of insults to my name!' Tsuna shouted in her head, fully aware that Reborn knew what she was thinking.

And as if to prove her point, Reborn smirked. "Not even in your dreams, Dame-Tsuna."

Yeah.

This was going to be a long day.

Don't worry, there is more to come! I'm sure you're all still curious about what Luce used to sway Tsuna's decision of spending the week with Reborn, and I promise that it will appear in the next chapter! After all, her day is far from over! ;)

I hope all of you enjoyed this chapter! Reviews are lovely and motivational!
