Tsuna really wondered how he got himself into this situation. This day was supposed to be normal. But as fate has it, the day normal certainly wasn't.

Right now, he was in his, Natsuki's and Naruto's shared bedroom, sitting on the bed while Natsuki lay there, sleeping. Of course, the brunet wasn't there alone; there were three teens and two boys, one of them being Naruto.

The atmosphere was so thick that you could cut it with a knife.

They all had different expressions on their faces.

The teen with fedora looked murderous.

The white haired one was smiling like always.

The boy with red compass-like eyes looked bored, but he was far from it, just like Byakuran.

The last teen had his always-present calculating gaze directed at Tsuna.

Naruto was nervous like he had never been in his short life, his hand holding Tsuna's, and the brunet... well, he hoped that he will see the lights of the following day.

"So…" started Reborn, which caused the brunet to snap from his thoughts and look at the hitman, flinching a bit when he noticed the look the raven was giving him.

"Y-yes?" he asked weakly, unconsciously gripping Naruto's hand tightly. Naruto winced a bit at the strong grip, but still let Tsuna hold his hand; he knew very well how the brunet was afraid.

Reborn stared at the brunet with his death glare. "Explain everything." he ordered, still glaring.

Tsuna shivered, but spoke after a while of silence. "U-um…" what was he going to say? I ran away and then got sucked by some kind of technique, ending here. Right, who would believe that?

"I'm waiting, dame-Tsuna."

"… well, after I… left the letter there, I went to find a place to stay and then, I found Natsuki," he looked at the only girl in the room, "She was in some abandoned hotel not so far from Namimori, but that's not where I found her… rather she found me but…" he paused, furrowing his eyebrows as he tried to remember everything, "Natsuki practically dragged me away from there, because police appeared there – they were searching for a murder of two parents and a kidnapper of their child…"

"And?" this time, it was Enma who spoke. Tsuna looked at him and saw his expressionless face, then he turned to look at Naruto, wondering if the blond will say anything.

Naruto noticed the look Tsuna was giving him and, albeit hesitantly, started speaking. "Ano…" everyone in the room stared at him. The blond gulped and continued, "It was me who brought them here…" he said, trembling at their intense gazes, squeezing Tsuna's hand for at least a little bit of comfort. The brunet squeezed back, as if trying to say that everything will be okay.

"How?" asked Verde. He was interested how a little kid like the blond could bring two people to different dimension, because it was not normal.

Naruto shrugged, "I don't know, I just found this willow that had scroll with some kind of seal on it and I was curious so I used it."

After his explanation, there was silence for quite a while; everyone just stared at each other.

Well, that was before a certain person decided to interrupt it.

"That was the first part of what you have to explain."

Tsuna looked at the hitman, who spoke, with quizzical expression, "What do you mean?" he asked.

Reborn stared at the brunet without any emotion before lifting a certain letter that Tsuna wrote. At this, the teenager-turned-boy paled.

'Shit!' he cursed in his mind, 'I hoped that he wouldn't ask about that!' and so, the brunet feigned innocence. "What is this, Reborn?"

The raven glared at him, making him flinch, and then spoke, "You know exactly what this is, Tsuna, so don't mess with me and just answer my question; what the hell is the meaning of this?"

For some reason, the line 'Reborn, I regret not saying my feelings for you, but I will write it now. I love you Reborn, for very long time.' seemed to be bolder that the others to the brunet. He blushed and kept quiet, silently noting what the others said.

"Hmm~ I would never think that Tsunayoshi-kun likes his tutor~" said Byakuran in his ever present sing-song tone.

Verde only smirked and lifted his glasses a bit, giving them the well-known eerie shine.

Enma blushed and stuttered silently, "T-T-Tsuna-kun… and Reborn…"

Naruto blushed too, but then he looked at the blushing brunet beside him, "Why didn't you tell me that you loved someone?" he was only curious, he wasn't even mad, because he knew that if he loved someone like Tsuna did, he couldn't speak about it normally like you speak about weather.

Tsuna looked at Naruto with guilty expression and muttered "Sorry." But before he could say anything else, he got interrupted by Reborn.

"Spill it already, dame-Tsuna." he growled, still sending the brunet his death-glare.

Tsuna gulped audibly and stuttered, "U-um… t-that…" he blushed even more and averted his gaze to look at Natsuki.

"Well?" prompted Reborn.

"I-it's just l-like the letter s-states…" Tsuna took deep breath and then looked at Reborn, "I… I l-love you, Reborn." With that being said, he blushed redder than tomato could ever be.

The two were in their own world and didn't even notice when the others went out of the room to leave them alone.

There was the silence again, but this one was not tense as the ones before.

They stood like that for a while, in Tsuna's case sitting, before Reborn moved to the boy and gave him light kiss on his soft pink lips.

The kiss didn't last long; it was just a light peck on lips, but held lots of emotions in it.

When he leaned back and looked at the brunet, Reborn saw his shocked expression; the boy clearly didn't expect this to happen.

"R-Reborn…" he stuttered, still blushing more than Enma's hair will ever be, with his eyes so wide that they could fall from their sockets.

Tsuna blushed even more as he thought about the kiss. He looked at the hitman shyly and then smiled.

"Thank you for returning my feelings, Reborn." as he said this, he smiled even brighter than before.

Reborn gave the boy small smile and when he was about to say something, the door to the room burst open, revealing a panicked Enma. He frowned, not liking the intrusion, and then looked at the redhead.

"What?" he asked. Enma turned his panicked expression to the hitman and hurriedly replied, more like shouted,

"There are some people trying to get in!"

Reborn's and Tsuna's eyes widened, before going to their normal size. Tsuna looked quickly at Natsuki, who was lying on the bed, then looked at Reborn.

"Reborn?" the hitman looked at him, "What will we do? Run away, or try to explain ourselves?" he asked, but before the raven even got the chance to reply, there was sound of doors being kicked open. The three in the room looked thought the crack of the door to know what exactly happened.

There was some old man in weird robes and a hat on his head. Along with him, there were other three people in armour, wearing masks that would somehow remind you of animal.

"Jiji!" yelled Naruto excitedly and threw himself at the old man with big grin on his face.

The man returned the hug, then looked at the blond and smiled a bit, "Hello Naruto." he greeted, "I would like to talk with you, but as there are some people that attacked academy student, I have to deal with that first." With that, he looked at the three new faces in the room and then averted his gaze from them to once again, look at Naruto. "Who are they, Naruto?" he asked.

The blond looked at the two teens, and then turned to the Hokage. "A-ano… they are…" he started slowly, not really knowing their names except the scary looking one that was still with Tsuna. Thankfully for him, the white haired one spoke.

"I'm Byakuran~" he said in sing-song voice, while smiling like a fox, amusement was present in his lavender eyes.

"Verde." said plainly the other teen with glasses and lab coat.

The old man nodded at them, then he looked around the room for other people and when he found none, he looked at Naruto. "Do you know where the other two are?" he asked in serious tone.

Naruto fidgeted nervously, and then looked at the Hokage, "No, I don't know." The blond knew he was lying through his teeth, but he had to protect his new friends.

Being Hokage, he knew immediately that Naruto lied to him, thought he didn't know exactly why. He looked at Naruto like a scolding grandfather would, "Naruto," he started, "I know you're lying to me."

Naruto flinched a bit. 'How does jiji know this?' he wondered silently.

"Now, tell me, Naruto," he continued, "Where are they?"

Before the blond could say a thing, Reborn decided to show himself along with Enma and Tsuna.

The masked people surrounded them immediately, their weapons in hands.

Reborn looked at them impassively, instead choosing to stare at the old man that seemed to be the boss here. "You called?" he asked, smirking like usual.

With Natsuki

Soft groan could be heard in the room where lay the once passed-out girl. She opened her now normally amber eyes, and then slowly sat up. The turquoise haired girl looked around her, only to find out that in the room was no one else. Natsuki sat there for a while, trying to remember what happened before, when suddenly, she heard voices from the other room. Two of them belonged to her friends, but the others weren't familiar at all.

She quickly stood up, fearing for her friends' safety, and quietly went to the door. She opened them only to see the hitman that wanted to take Tsuna away, said brunet, Naruto, the two other teens with the red haired boy, old man in weird robes and other people with masks in some kind of armour.

Let's not forget to mention that the people with the masks had their katanas pointed towards Reborn's neck.

She instantly fumed. Okay, Natsuki really didn't like the hitman, but to have some weird people in your home pointing their weapons at said person is not something she appreciated.

The amber eyed girl looked at all the people in the room, crossed her hands over her chest and glared at everyone. Somehow, the infamous ANBU felt chills run down their spines and not in a good way.

"What. The. Hell. Is. The. Meaning. Of. This?" she asked the tone of her voice colder than ice and even the Hokage and the world's greatest hitman had to surpass the shivers from running down their spines...
