Ira followed Reborn in silence. She wasn't even looking where he was going, her attention being concentrated on the hitman. She couldn't believe how fast the Arcobaleno grew in the next few years after the curse was broken. Every month seemed to equal a year or even more. Reborn still had the pacifier with him even if he wasn't wearing it around his neck –since he was a fearsome individual- but it probably felt safe and comfortable to have it in his pocket.

"Where are you taking me?" She questioned when she realized they ended up back in front of the high school. "We walked in a circle." She added, raising an eyebrow when he led her inside the school.

It was the first time she entered a Japanese high school. When Ira visited, Tsuna and the rest were in junior school and sincerely, Ira thought high school would look different but it didn't. Her eyes wandered on every wall, window and she even sneaked an eye in the open classrooms. Her high school, in Milano, was really different from the one in Namimori; livelier and more colorful. Classes were placed differently as well and when she looked at the court, she realized she was in a normal school while she's spent her teenage years in a fancy high school. She suddenly realized that Reborn really did give her the best life possible. Her green eyes moved on his back and felt the corners of her mouth curl a little.

Reborn led her through the corridor until he got into a room that was labeled as the Students' Disciplinary Committee. She raised an eyebrow and followed the hitman inside.

"Why does this feel familiar?" She asked him bluntly. Reborn chuckled and pointed at the desk.

"Move it a bit and you will find out."

Ira glanced at him before her eyes moved on the desk. She had no choice but to pull it on her own since the hitman just sat down and watched. She sighed and did the hard work by herself, like always. The desk wasn't that heavy and immediately moved, revealing a trap door. Ira's eyebrows rose in surprise and looked for the handle; it didn't have any. Reborn got up and pressed hit foot on it for a moment, the trap door shifting into a pair of stairs.

"You never cease to freak me out." She mumbled after she saw him go down the stairs.

They got into a corridor that seemed to be used quite a bit. It was clean and the lights were new. As they walked further in, she realized the walls were made of steel and they have been sound proofed, making that place perfect for torture.

Ira kept her mouth shut for the whole time, which wasn't something new. Unlike Dino and Tsuna, Reborn was appreciating Ira's loyalty and trust. No matter how weird or how uncomfortable she would feel she would never back down and give up. But that was how he raised her so he shouldn't be surprised. Everything wrong with Ira was his fault and everything good about her was Colonello's; that was already known.

There was one problem that always ticked him off: she knew how to keep secrets no matter the cost. Actually, she had a lot of problems from being a girl to being a good hitman but that one was a constant reminder that he might have overdone it.

When her brother sent the help signal to Tsuna, Reborn had the chance to intercept it and change it slightly before sending it forward. He saw the original text and there was something more to it. Ren wasn't asking for Vongola's help, he was asking for family help; the other family.

"Have you been to Russia recently?" He suddenly asked.

That question didn't take Ira by surprise at all. She knew Reborn was keeping tags on her and her family, as part of being a hitman and being a friend of Vongola.

"No."

She was sincere so he changed the question a bit.

"Have you contacted anyone from Russia recently?" He continued to ask.

"What does it have to do with you?"

So she did. Ira was a sly one and would know how to sneak behind him to do whatever she was thinking was in her advantage. Good and bad; the line between those two had been crossed since she was kidnapped.

"You said yourself, you don't want to get involved into mafia business yet you contacted your grandmother and gave her files about a KGB project." She stopped and stared at him.

"Nothing goes past you, does it?" Reborn only threw a glance at her over his shoulder.

"Have you sent the files?" Ira glared at her former tutor and realized she had to do what she learned best from her teacher.

"Have you sent a false reclamation to my brother?" She asked, making him smirk in return. "Isn't that why he had a problem with the police recently?"

"Let's go, Ira." He finished the interrogation quickly.

As a matter of fact, Ira got an e-mail from Maurice who was the geek out of her guardians. He found it suspicious that someone called the police and told them about the spies inside, very detailed as well. Reborn was the only one who knew because Ren sent the names to be checked.

The end of the tunnel came closer and Ira was thankful since Reborn started to question her about stuff she didn't want to talk about. The hitman opened the door and let her enter first, which instantly quirked her curiosity. That dimmed when she entered and caught glimpse of a computer screen before she got hit with a tonfa in the side of her head. Her green eyes narrowed and quickly blocked the next attack.

"Is this the welcoming party?" She asked loudly for everyone to hear. The man attacking her only kicked her in the ribs and tried to make her spin so he could hit her in the head again without moving much. She didn't spin but she did use him as an escape root by jumping when he targeted her knees and hitting him in the chest while blocking his right hand. He backed off a little, giving her enough time and space to prepare her muay thai kick. She moved so fast that even Hibari was a bit surprised when she snapped her leg forward and kicked him with a lot of strength. He lost his balance and fell on his bottom. Hibari was ready to get up and continue the fight but Reborn interfered.

"Did you find the location?" Reborn asked, taking Hibari's attention off Ira. His grey eyes looked up at the hitman as he got on his feet.

"I did." His eyes glanced at Ira again for a second before he turned and led the two in front of the computers.

Ira entered a secret place, just like a secret agency's headquarters and couldn't help but feel like a bad person. They were under the high school, a place made to learn children how to be good and responsible yet they were mafia. Well, it was still vague if Hibari was a Vongola.

"I'm sure you're curious what this place is," Reborn started, a sly smirk on his face.

"No, not exactly." Her response only widened his smirk. Instead, she turned to Hibari. "I'm curious if anyone from the high school knows what's been built under the building,"

"I am the headmaster." Hibari responded coldly. She couldn't help but chuckle darkly, making him raise an eyebrow.

"Do you manage it like you manage Hibird University?" Green eyes were sending lasers into grey eyes. Reborn couldn't help but feel amused. It was very rare for her to act bossy since most of the time she wouldn't bother to care about anything. Well, it seemed she cared this time.

"We don't need her," Hibari was obviously talking to Reborn, referring to her in third person, like she wasn't important enough to be there.

"We do," Reborn told her to come closer and take a look at the screen. She complied silently, glaring as she walked past him. When her eyes fell on the screen she groaned.

"Are you serious?" Her whole demeanor changed from cold and intimidating to childish. "Are you-oh come on!" She leaned against the keyboard and sighed.

The file on the screen was about a file they urgently needed yet got stolen by a business man/ dealer. This man had a house of carnal pleasure, or commonly known as a strip club with extra hotness. Since she was there she was needed to infiltrate and extract the file with care.

"I can't believe you're making me do this again," She was moaning for nothing because Reborn already decided. Ira was going in as a stripper and had to take the file in maximum two days.

While she was moaning on and on about how much she hated the job, Hibari couldn't help but ask himself just how many times she infiltrated into that kind of places.

While Hibari's men were making an escape plan and getting into whatever they were doing, Reborn took a break –from doing nothing, like always- and walked through a door that she wasn't curious of. That left her all alone, ready for a quick beating from a man who knew everything yet he knew nothing.

"Reborn trained you," It was more of a statement than a question. He genuinely didn't think of Reborn as a person connected to her. "How?"

"Are you asking me to give you details about my life?" She couldn't help but smirk. Ira was going to have fun since they weren't in the university, making him just another man. That didn't go well with him, who couldn't help but look down on her. "Reborn didn't train me," She leaned in and looked into those grey cold eyes of his with playfulness inside hers. "He raised me." She finished the sentence and smiled before she backed off.

"Why did you enroll into Hibird?" He continued, in the same tone.

"Because I needed a place to hide. I still do."

"From who?" He was asking a lot of questions but then again, she was involved into something that was his and the students were more or less respecting her; definitely more than him. They were scared of him, which was something completely different.

"Everyone." That was her answer and it only added more questions to who she was and what were her intentions.
