CHAPTER 6: UNFORTUNATE CHILD

/

"Here, enjoy the dinner, Reborn-kun," said Nana, setting the table. Reborn eat silently and sometimes glanced at Yoshiro who eat at the same table. He looked like he doesn't have the appetite.

As if sensing someone staring at him, Yoshiro looked up and locked eyes with Reborn. Reborn looked deep into those brown eyes and he was surprised to see Yoshiro's eyes were similar with a teen's eyes that give him apple this morning.

But, the stare didn't last for too long when Reborn heard door opening and closing. He wondered who come in the house this moment. According to Nono and Iemitsu's report, there were only Nana and Yoshiro in this house. He turned to look at Nana who has different expression on her face.

"Who is it just coming in, Mama?" asked Reborn curiously.

"Hahaha! It's no one, Reborn-kun," giggled Nana awkwardly. Yoshiro glanced to his mother before sighed and placed his chopstick on the table.

"I'm done," said Yoshiro, standing up and go upstairs. Reborn looked at unfinished dish belong to Yoshiro. Strangely, Yoshiro split the food into half. That means he only eat half of the dinner's portion. He wondered why Yoshiro did that.

"Tsuna, you come home early today. Did you eat dinner yet? If not, I already keep half of my dinner for you. Make sure you eat it okay?" said Yoshiro. He is standing outside the room. It is more like talking to the door. Hearing no response from Tsuna, he sighed and said goodnight and headed to his room.

"Arigatou, nii-san," whispered Tsuna slowly.

Reborn on his way to go to the toilet when he saw the kitchen's light is still on. Mama hasn't slept yet? That is impossible because he didn't hear Mama's bedroom door opened or closed. He peeked to see what inside and was shocked to see the boy who gives him apple this early morning, eating at the dining table.

As if feeling another presence in the kitchen, Tsuna looked and was surprised to see the kid this morning was in the house.

"You're the kid from this morning," said Tsuna in surprise.

"Ciaossu, I'm Reborn. The world greatest hitman," Reborn introduced himself to Tsuna. He really hate when people called him kid. He hopped on the table and saw Tsuna was eating the unfinished dish of Yoshiro left earlier.

"I'm Tsunayoshi. You can call me Tsuna," said Tsuna. He noticed that Reborn looked at his dinner.

"You want some?" asked Tsuna. Reborn shake his head in denial.

"Didn't Mama cooked anything for you?" asked Reborn, looked at Tsuna's eyes. Somehow, the calm and dull eyes has hurt reflected on it.

"She never cooked anything for me. It is all thanks to Yoshiro-san that I'm able to have dinner every day," said Tsuna, brought the empty dish to the sink and washed it.

"And what're you doing here, Reborn-san?" asked Tsuna.

"I'm a home tutor. Come here to teach Yoshiro to be a good leader because he will be the successor of Vongola," said Reborn. He wondered why he easily answered this boy's question. Maybe it is because the reason that this boy reminded him to Luce, the Sky Arcobaleno.

"Well, good luck then. It's nice meeting you, Reborn-san and thanks for accompany me eating dinner," said Tsuna, go upstairs and entered his room.

"Oi, Yoshiro, wake up," said Reborn, waking Yoshiro up.

"What do you want, Reborn? It's not morning yet," said Yoshiro, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Who is that Tsunayoshi?" asked Reborn.

"You meet him? Where?"

"In the kitchen,"

"Did he eat his dinner?"

"Yes, he ate it. Now, answer my question," demanded Reborn, couldn't wait any longer.

"Please don't freak out. He is my brother, my twin," said Yoshiro. Reborn's eyes widen in shock. He told Yoshiro to tell him everything about Tsuna. And Yoshiro told him what he tells Yamamoto the other day.

Reborn clicked his tongue in annoyance. He couldn't believe parents like Nana and Iemitsu still existed in this world. Reborn, who always feel unfortunate for his past, think Tsuna is the most unfortunate one. Why he said that? That is because even though Tsuna's parent still alive they never treasured him. Meanwhile for Reborn himself, even though he was an orphan, he knew that his parent died protecting him when he was a child. Leon quickly transferred into a mobile phone and Reborn quickly dialled a number.

"Ciao, Gokudera. I need you to come to Japan immediately," said Reborn, ending the call immediately.
