The hitman watched curiously as the brunette made his way towards the window, stumbling slightly in the process.

'He's seriously exiting out the window again?'

Reborn hopped onto the window's ledge right as Tsuna managed to open it an inch.

"You're not heading out the window"

Reborn stated at the desperate gaze of the honey eyed teen.

"But Reb—ack!"

The brunette suddenly dropped swiftly into a crouch, both hands cupping over his mouth as his body shuddered from the effort of holding in his coughs.

The hitman lowered his fedora to hide his concern, he didn't like seeing the teen seem so vulnerable.

'I've really got to get Shamal to come over quicker...'

"I'll go get you some water"

The hitman muttered in concern as the shudders refused to halt, however he was stopped by the silent shaking of the teen's head.

"No... Works..."

The honey eyed teen gasped.

"Let out your coughs Dame-Tsuna, you're making it worse for yourself..."

The hitman replied as he wondered why water wouldn't work.

'Why is he so persistent in not letting out his coughs?... Holding them in only makes it worse...'

"... Alone..."

Tsuna whispered weakly before his whole body tensed as the coughs finally broke free. Reborn's inner flame flailed with concern as the coughs wracked through the teen's body, flailing even further as it began to sound as if the teen was choking on something.

Reborn was stumped, he didn't know what to do for once, he wasn't a doctor, and he had a feeling that he didn't have anything available to help the teen. All he could do was watch, despite the teen's wishes.

'It's just coughing... But coughs shouldn't cripple someone, especially someone like Tsuna...'

A choked put pained cry followed by a whimper snapped the hitman out of his thoughts just in time for him to watch the teen curl into himself before going limp.

'He fainted...'

The hitman carefully moved the teen from his crouched position and into a laying down position, unease prickling at him when he spotted the crimson trailing from the teen's mouth and covering the palms of the boy's hands.

He pulled out a cloth and began to wipe away the blood from the teen's hands gently, his lips pulled into a grim frown.

'I've seen something like this before... I've got to get Shamal to hurry up... But it's also impossible for it to be the same...'

The hitman shook his head as he leaned against the teen's back to think.

"Nono you've called?"

'I wonder if he's trying to shove off all of his paperwork onto me again...'

A well built blond with stubble wearing a suit called as he closed the door behind him with a soft clock.

"Yes, I've read some reports from Reborn that are rather disturbing..."

Nono sighed as he massaged his temple tiredly, not liking the current situation of having to confront Iemitsu.

The blond raised a brow before grinning stupidly.

"There's no way that there could be some bad news, my superstar Ieyoshi and my little timid Tsuna-Fishy are both perfect children!"

'There's no way that they could be causing Reborn problems'

Iemitsu chuckled proudly, however his mood fell when the old man didn't chuckle as well.

"Wait, you're serious?"

Nono was silent as he handed Iemitsu a letter;

To Nono

I have observed both twins despite my orders to focus on Ieyoshi, and I have noticed some disturbing facts.

Ieyoshi is nothing like what I was told, yes he's charismatic, to a very definite point, though that's only towards people who don't try to look past his facade. In truth, I have observed Ieyoshi to be an manipulative liar and an abusive brother to Tsuna; I have personally witnessed the brat trying to kill Tsuna.

Iemitsu's hands began to tremble in shock at the hitman's words, especially when he hadn't noticed anything wrong between both twins.

'I've never seen Ie ever do anything harmful towards Tsuna... Reborn has got to be lying...'

On another note, Tsuna is very charismatic, I actually wonder how much of an idiot Iemitsu was to actually miss the sky essence surrounding Tsuna.

He almost dropped the letter in shock, not believing that his innocent Tsuna-fishy could possibly have such a strong aura.

'Nono didn't sense anything before... He must be exaggerating, but... Reborn doesn't exaggerate anything...'

Just being around him draws others with strong affinities to flames towards him.

'That strong?... But what about Ie?...'

On another note, I have already called for Shamal to visit as soon as he can.

'Shamal?! But he is only called for emergencies...'

Tsuna is not healthy, often has a cough and other ailments, I'm not going to go into details due to Tsuna's wish.

Iemitsu raised a brow at that part, shocked that the hitman was giving into his son's wishes.

'Tsuna must have grown on him...'

I would like to request for Tsuna to be a candidate for Vongola Decimo as well, he has what seems to be unlimited potential if you take away his sickness and aversion to people. He would make a fine leader, one that I would gladly follow, I just need to train him further and make him want to become the Decimo.

I feel as if Ieyoshi would doom Vongola.

From Reborn

Iemitsu felt his mouth go dry as he finished reading the letter, he raised his brown gaze up towards Nono.

"I think that I've been away from home for too long..."

The blond stated in shock, Nono nodded grimly.

"It seems so, your so called harmless Tsuna-Fishy has intrigued the world's greatest hitman, and from what I've read, I'd also say that Reborn has grown attached as well.

Nono replied as he accepted the letter back from the blond.

'Tsuna is mute though...'

"Can Tsuna even become Decimo? He's mute..."

Iemitsu stated softly, wondering why the hitman would even recommend a mute to become Decimo, a voice was an important tool for a mafia boss.
