"Thanks, but don't worry, this happens once in a while"

The brunette replied softly as he wiped his mouth before standing up and exiting the washroom, stumbling slightly in the process.

The hitman frowned, not liking the brunette's health problem.

'Maybe I should call Shamal over sooner than I initially thought...'

The hitman left the brunette and exited the house, he then hopped onto the roof and had Leon transform into a phone, he dialled the doctor's number.

"Hello~ which little sweet ar—"

A males voice cooed from the other side of the Leon phone, causing a twinge of annoyance to manifest within the hitman.

"I'm pretty sure neither of us wants to sleep with the other Shamal"

The hitman remarked, grinning evilly when he heard the person on the other end of the phone splutter in surprise.

"R-reborn... Yes you're absolutely right, I dislike men, and I'm not into infants"

Shamal replied.

"You're lucky that you're currently needed or I would hunt you down and shoot you"

The hitman warned, earning himself a nervous laugh from the other.

"S-so why did you call?"

"I need you to do a check up on the health of an acquaintance.

"Is it a lovely girl?"

"No it's the Vongolia Decimo's brother"

The hitman replied easily, ignoring the snort from the other.

"Reborn, you know very well that I only treat beautiful ladies"

"Become the nurse at Namimori middle school, there of plenty of young girls there"

"Fine... But I'm not treating any boys"

The hitman hung up and Leon transformed back into his original form.

'Once that idiot arrives I'll force him to treat lazy-Tsuna, then I could start trying to make him Decimo instead of the brat'

The hitman planned, he walked over towards Tsuna's room and frowned when he saw the teen huddled up in his bed.

"I'd have thought that you'd go and disappear all night like yesterday".

The hitman stated, the honey eyed teen laughed lightly at his comment as he shook his head.

"No I had an appointment of sorts, today I'm tired... So I'm going to go sleep..."

Tsuna trailed off before covering his mouth to stifle a yawn.

"Appointment?"

"Yeah with a skylark"

The hitman thought for a few moments before replying.

"Hibari Kyoya? Why would the rumoured demon perfect want anything to do with the famous 'Dame-Tsuna' besides 'biting' you to death"

The hitman asked, he didn't see any connections that could link the two besides the brunette's horrendous grades.

"Seems the little hitman has done his research"

Tsuna laughed as he sat up, his white blanket wrapped around him and honey orbs were half lidded.

"Answer my question lazy-Tsuna"

The hitman threatened, though for some reason he doubted that he would actually harm the boy.

"I'm one of the few people that he can tolerate due to how little I talk, he forces his paperwork onto me as payment"

"Payment for what?"

A tired smile graced the brunette's lips.

"Protecting mom and Ie-San since I can't do a very good job whenever I'm sick"

The hitman shaded his eyes with his fedora.

"Protect them from what?"

'Namimori had been reported as safe, there's not many things that could be considered dangerous here'

Honey orbs looked towards the ground sadly.

"Men and women dressed in black wielding firearms..."

"Mafia..."

'Damn you Iemitsu! You've been away from home for too long for you to not know about your family's lives being targeted!'

The brunette nodded slowly.

"I'm glad that you're here, Kyoya is a great defender but he's only human and a teen like myself..."

The brunette whispered softly, causing the hitman to suddenly want to comfort the boy. However he didn't because he didn't want to lose face.

"That's right feel grateful that I'm here. Go to sleep now if you're tired you like like the dead"

The hitman replied, he wished that he was joking but it was true. The pale boy in front of him suddenly looked so frail and small, almost as if at the tiniest push could cause him to break. He didn't want to involve the boy with the mafia, but he knew he needed to if he was to prevent another generation of bloodshed.

"Okay night..."

The brunette whispered as he turned away and laid on his bed, the hitman nodded and laid in his hammock, he wasn't in the mood to deal with his brat of a student so he decided that he might as well sleep.

The hitman cracked an eye open when he heard the bedroom door open, staying silent until he observed the situation.

He raised a brow when he saw his idiotic student perk his head through the doorway cautiously.

He stiffened when he saw Ie creep into the room, for some reason the atmosphere around the teen sent chills down the hitman's spine.

He waited, curious as to what the teen was going to do, ignoring the feeling to kick the brunette out of the room for he doubted that the teen could do much harm.

The infant almost jumped when Ie leaped at Tsuna, an pained shirk escaped from the honey eyed teen's lips as he struggled under his brother.

Reborn acted as soon as he saw a flash of red, he all but kicked Ie in the side, sending him flying out the door. He then flicked on the lights, his breath caught in his throat as he saw the trembling honey eyed teen panting. His one arm looked as if it had been shredded and his neck was cracked with blood.

"Oi Tsuna!"

The hitman called as the brunette shifted away from the hitman as soon as his hands flared with sun flames.

"N-no... I'll be f-fine..."

The brunette whispered softly as he curled up into a ball, causing blood too weep out of his wounds at a faster rate.

"No you won't idiota! Let me heal you"

The hitman snapped back as he moved closer towards the brunette.
