CHAPTER 13: ANOTHER TUTOR

A couple of days have passed after the incident about Sawada Nana consuming poisoned food from Gokudera Hayato's sister, Bianchi and once again it was a normal and peaceful day again for the Sawada's and nothing seems to have changed.

. Natsu's training is also ongoing. It started with running 100 laps around Namimori with Sasagawa Ryohei in early morning, then a hundred push ups just after the said run following his kendo training with the help of Yamamoto Takeshi one of his best friends though he didn't stayed long because he had baseball practice in the afternoon . So after Yamamoto left, Natsu was forced to train his dying will mode for several times, exposing his boxer shorts because of the process.

The sun has already set and still Natsu's training seems to have no end and the blond teen now experiencing exhaustion sits on the ground, leaning against the wall.

"C-can we t-take a break, Reborn?" Natsu said eyes closed.

"Today's training is done. You can rest after carrying me home Baka Natsu." Reborn smirked jumping at the teens shoulders. Natsu didn't stand yet which made Reborn clear his throat and went closer at the teens left ear and whispered."Start walking or another 100 laps for you." This is already enough for Natsu to send chills down to his spine.

"Hai! Roger that!" He said enthusiastic and hurriedly started to walk home.

Upon arriving home.

"Tadaima, kaa-san" Natsu manage to say before allowing himself to collapse in their sofa.

"Ara, Na-kun welcome home. Did you have fun with Reborn-kun today?" Mrs. Sawada said cheerfully while holding a spatula.

"Yes okaa-san." NO! ITS NOT FUN AT ALL! Natsu screamed inside his mind while hearing his Spartan tutor's chuckle as background thinking that he's already imagining things, though Reborn's actually chuckling just beside the blond teen not noticing the infant's presence. He pulled his blond hair still lying but then his thoughts about his pitiful self snapped out when he heard his mother greeting his brother.

"Konbanwa Tsu-kun!"

Natsu rises up and looks at his younger brother wearing his usual smile as the brunet greeted them "Konbanwa Okaa-san, Nii-san."

Natsu POV

Fully healed after his high fever, my younger twin seems to be more calm and collected than usual. This should be a good thing right? But something is bothering me, like his situation is not good at all. After his fever gone down, he didn't bother going outside yet, though usually he always wanted to, even if he was not already feeling well. And so I decided to watch out for my brother for now.

My eyes followed my brother as he head inside the kitchen with mom acting like the usual. I kept on observing him; his movements, voice, anything strange no matter how small it is to confirm any suspicions that something is really wrong with my brother just like before, when me and mom saw him outside looking really sad after the pervert doctor left.

Natsu POV end..

Natsu was in deep thought again when suddenly Lambo jumped in front of him causing him to flinch and losing his balance resulting him to fall down the floor.

"Gyahaha! Clumsy Baka Natsu!" The young cow child boast as he laughs out loud while the poor blond teen caresses his hurting butt after him falling. Feeling a little irritated at the young cow child, Natsu inhaled deeply just extend his patience. He's still a child Natsu.

Just after he manage to compose himself, barely, the brunet inside the kitchen finally called their attention.

"Dinner's ready!"

Lambo happy jumped when he heard the magic word "dinner" and hurriedly went inside the kitchen leaving the relieved teen.

The Sawada Family dinner ended well, with Lambo started a one sided food fight against Reborn, although the baby hit man doesn't mind the poor child as he avoided those flying breads and foods continuing his meal and Natsu telling stories about school with Nana and Tsuna listening intently.

The older twin, not finding any suspicious movement on his brother convinces himself that he is just exaggerating for his brother's welfare. Well that's what he thought as he stretches his arms and yawns before deciding to hit the sack. He went upstairs and was about to enter his room when he noticed his younger brother's room door was slightly open.

Wanting to check on what he's brother was doing, Natsu tiptoed towards his brother's room and quietly take a peek inside.

There he saw his brother staring outside his open window, preoccupied by something. Looking at his brother, Natsu felt hurt, he didn't know why, he just felt it as he unconsciously stepped his foot creating a soft sound, enough to get the brunet's attention.

Tsuna stared at his brother mirroring his saddened emotion through his pair of expressive eyes just for a second before he smiled gently, completely masking his emotions.

And there he saw what Natsu wanted to see.

"I'll listen." Natsu said directly and could only stare at his brother's confused face.

The brunet seems to understand his older twin's words, and so he smiled weakly as he lowered his head, effectively hiding those two pair of brown orbs.

Tsuna POV..

I was inside my room, staring outside. I just wanted my thoughts to wander off for now. I needed time to regain myself.

A sound of a single footstep was enough to had my attention only to see my brother standing at my door, observing me.

I smiled at him, the usual one that I always use for me to hide my emotion, but then I heard nii-san saying "I'll listen."

I realized that time, that my brother caught me. A twin instinct maybe?

Having no idea on what should I tell my brother, I just followed on what I feel like telling right now.

"I'm fine." My voice finally heard inside room. "I just need some time, nii-san."

I accepted his condition for a long time now, so why was I so affected after finding out that even a doctor that could treat 666 diseases can't heal me?

Well maybe because of a small hope that I always hold on to.

Hope for me to live a normal life, even if just for a week or even days.

And I thought that, Dr. Shamal could actually give it to me, that small hope, but he can't.

"I'm just being silly." I said as I chuckled quietly to myself. My brother still not satisfied with my answers was about to ask me some more but I interrupted first before he could even start his sentence.

"Nii-san, there's no need to worry. Believe me." My eyes full of resolve met my brother's inspecting gaze which made him sigh in relief, a sign that I already convinced him.

Thankfully, he won't be worrying for my sake anymore and hopefully, no; I'm sure that these painful feelings will vanish after a while.

Tsuna POV end..

Just after the twins small conversation, and Natsu already relieved yawns longer than usual.

"Sleepy?" Tsuna muttered in which his older brother nodded as he was about to turn around when he suddenly stopped.

"Not going out tonight?" Asking his younger twin.

"Hn." Tsuna replied, gazing at the moon.

Natsu sighs deeply as he decided.

"I'll sleep in here tonight." He said hurriedly jumped at his twin's bed while Tsuna shocked on what he had just heard turns around to see his older brother already lying in his precious bed.

"Hey! What are you-!" Complaining out loud but was stopped by his brother covering his mouth.

"Shhh.. Mom and Lambo are already sleeping." He said smiling stupidly and continued. "And besides i'm too sleepy to walk inside my room already." Acting groggily as he closes his eyes curling himself and positions at the left side of the bed.

"But we're too old for this." Tsuna already panicking inside smacked both of his cheeks to calm him down.

"I get it, your shy little brother?" Natsu teased Tsuna, aware that his younger twin was panicking inside.

Tsuna looked at his brother's eyes like he wanted to say I'm not! He let his head down in defeat messing his brown hair. "Fine. Just do not occupy my whole bed, understood?"

"Okay then little brother." Natsu smirked before closing his eyes once again, slowly drifting to sleep. And Tsuna stares at his brother's sleeping figure smiling as he thought to himself.

Thank you nii-san.

Morning came and Natsu opened his eyes to see his surroundings still swallowed in darkness.

I forgot, not my room.

He turned to the other side only to see his brother's peaceful face sleeping soundly.

"Tsuna, you actually snore?" He mutters and giggled, thinking that his brother was still asleep.

"Your breath stinks." Tsuna's face grimaced as Natsu raised both of his eyebrows in confusion. Was his brother really asleep? Or maybe sleep talking? He turned around and checked his morning breath. It's not that bad! He thought, proudly to himself and turned around only to hear his brother talking about him, again.

"Wipe your drool." He said chuckling still eyes closed. Natsu hurriedly wiped his drool if there is, and it actually exists!

Tsuna couldn't take it anymore as he allowed himself to laugh out loud rendering his older twin embarrassed. "Tsunayoshi! You!"

"Haha! Sorry, sorry Natsuyoshi Sawada was still drooling like a kid, I see." The younger twin still eyes closed said.

"I-I'm just tired yesterday." The blond teen stammered for a little as he hastily rises up, fixing his bed hair.

"Take a nap first brother." Natsu said already holding the doorknob, getting ready to leave the room.

"I'll try, just be quiet outside." The sleepy brunet spoke softly and yawns.

What was that suppose to mean? Natsu thought but decided to nod in approval, now opening the door for him to see an unexpected view.

His tutor with an infant beside's him wearing a red Chinese type outfit and a red pacifier.

What? Another one? Additionally he looked like Hibari-san! Natsu wanted to scream but he was able to stop himself from doing so.

"Ni Hao Natsuyoshi-kun." The infant greeted him normally and bows his head, a greeting that he had not expected to.

"H-hello?" Natsu not entirely sure on how to respond correctly looked at Reborn who was that time also staring at him. What could he be thinking? Trying to figure out on what was his tutor was thinking, he didn't notice his brother calling his attention.

"Nii-san?"

No response.

"NII-SAN?" It was louder this time but still no response.

"Natsuyoshi-kun?" The unknown infant also called the teen but to no avail.

"Reborn was amused to his student. He was thinking too much. He thought as he was about to shift Leon into a gun when he saw a flying pair of slipper already hit the blond teen.

"Itte! Wha" Natsu touches his hurting head and turns around to see his younger brother sitting on his bed his body covered on a thick blanket.

"We have visitor's nii-san?"

"A-ah." Natsu regained his composure, almost forgetting about his brother's illness.

"Visitor-san you may come in." Tsuna informed his unknown visitor, the two infant entered the room as Natsu hurriedly closed the door and opens the room light.

Tsuna closes his eyes for a while, waiting for his vision to adjust in brightness and when it came, he saw their tutor and another infant with him. He might be another tutor.

"Correct Dame Tsuna."

Eh?

"Hello Tsunayoshi-kun, Natsuyoshi-kun. My name's Fon" Fon smiled, observing the twins that he and Reborn would teach.

Too formal. Natsu and Tsuna thought the same as they waved both of their hands on disapproval, unconsciously muttered their names at the same time.

"Natsu/Tsuna."

Fon looked a little surprised and grins. These twins are interesting indeed.

"Baka Dame Twins meet Fon, He and I will continue to tortu- I mean tutor the both of you." Especially you, Tsuna.

The twins looked at each other; having no idea on how should they feel.

We're in this together right? As the both of them nodded in agreement.

TBC

Sora: Neh, why did Reborn called you, Fon-sensei?"

Fon:Well because-

Reborn: I wanted Baka Natsu to learn martial arts as well as Dame Tsuna.

Sora: Ow. *nods*

Fon: I thought it was about your forming eye bags?

Sora: Come again Fon-sensei? O.o

*Reborn removes his gun's safety lock.

Sora sneaks out.
