I don't get why I even bother putting the tag "Complete" on my one-shots when people still alert on it, lol! Okay, this is going to be a short update, since my mum decided I should sleep earlier (though I doubt I will) even though I'm on holiday for the week :c
Katekyo Dame-Tsuna!
Chapter 20
"Fuck no!"
Tsuna stares in bewilderment at a smirking Bermuda, his royal blue top hat shadowing most of his face. Uni runs after Reborn with a slick flick of Tsuna's wrist, signaling her to go after him.
"Wait, Reborn!"
Light footsteps patter down the stairs after Uni's call for Reborn, getting softer before it is silent as she sprints down the stairs. Tsuna regains his composure, his eyes fluttering shut as he clears his throat softly and a familiar warmth surges through him. Shock and bewilderment is flushed out of his system, only a sense of calm remains.
"Ciao, Bermuda."
"Ciao, Tsunayoshi."
Tsuna gazes down at the Arcobaleno, his gaze steady and calm. The air is still, like the calm before a storm, and the tension is thick. Bermuda may be the one who assigned him to tutor Reborn, but he doesn't have the right to see him without Tsuna's consent! Reborn's his charge!
"What did you tell him?"
Bermuda smirks as he pulls his top hat lower over his face. Tsuna's hackles rise at his smirk. Throughout the entire three years of knowing him, that smirk has never been accompanied by anything good.
"Nothing much, I told him everything he needed to be told, since his incompetent tutor didn't do so." Tsuna's calm composure cracks slowly as Bermuda's smirk widens. "What are you still doing here? You only have a week to tutor your beloved student, Tsunayoshi."
Tsuna glares furiously at Bermuda, his fists clenching open and close, before leaving the dome. He sprints down the stairs wordlessly, skipping some and riding down the handrails. The door clicks shut, leaving the Arcobaleno to himself. I don't want to ruin your relationship with Reborn but when the time comes, I don't want him to suffer like I did, Tsunayoshi...

"Reborn, wait up!"
The hitman slows his pace, turning back to look at his tutor mate. Her face is flushed red from having to run after the tall hitman and her hat is no longer sitting on her head, it is instead hugged tightly in her arms. Her teal hair is glued to her face from perspiration and her breath is labored as she tries to catch her breath.
"Tha... Thank you for waiting, Reborn..."
She smiles brightly at the hitman, innocence and trust radiant from her petite frame. Reborn sighs, looking away from his Sky-to-be, as he recalls the conversation he had with Bermuda.
-FLASHBACK-
"You only have a week left with your tutor, Reborn. After the Fated Day, he will no longer be with you..."
"What do you mean?"
"He will be gone, not from this world, but he will not remember of the time spent with you and Uni. He will return to his normal life, just as he did before."
This is too much for Reborn's mind to bear. His recent realization of his feelings towards Tsuna, the trip around Italy, and now, this. The revealing of things left in the dark by Tsuna.
"Can you live with that?"
Reborn scowls at the Arcobaleno, his fists clenched. Blood is rushing to his head, the pounding in his ears is deafening as he tries to regain his composure. However, his efforts are in vain.
"Fuck no!"
He turns to exit the dome, only to be faced by the person he loves. The on who kept everything in the dark from him. He storms his way out of the dome, catching Tsuna's eye for a moment before sprinting down the many flights of stairs.
-FLASHBACK-
"I'm not going back."
"Wh-what?"
"I said, I'm not going back!"
Uni stares at Reborn, shocked at his sudden outburst. She reaches out to calm him down with her Harmony Tsuna had taught her, but he snatches his arm away from her. His eyes are shadowed and his face is blank, Uni is unsure of his feelings. She tries to grab his arm again, but he moves out of her reach before escaping into the busy streets of Rome.
"Reborn!"
