The hitman felt his inner flame flutter with relief when he felt the brunette shift slightly, he shifted his position from leaning against the teen's back to standing in front of him.

'It's been a few hours...'

Reborn glanced towards a black digital clock on the brunette's window sill to see that it was 7:12am.

A soft murmur from the brunette made his attention drift away from the clock and towards the cause.

"Dame-Tsuna, you shouldn't have tried to hide the extent of your condition"

'He should have alerted someone when he reached the point of coughing up blood...'

The hitman stayed the moment Tsuna's honey eyes fluttered open, a soft whine escaped from the teen's lips as he sat up and rubbed his eyes before massaging his throat gingerly.

"There's nothing that any doctors can do... They've tried"

The brunette replied, his voice was still pleasant despite the slight rasp within it.

Reborn lowered his fedora to hide his frown from the teen.

"The doctor I called should be here any day now, he's late"

'I've got to remember to chew Shamal out for his lateness, he probably got distracted by some girls again...'

Honey flashed orange for a split second as the teen let out a soft sigh, his honey gaze lowering.

"I highly doubt that the doctor could help me, but since you've recommended him, I'll allow myself a bit of hope..."

Tsuna replied, his lips quirking upwards a bit as he raised his gaze from the floor to look at the hitman.

'I'm glad that he trusts my judgement, now if only that idiotic student of mine would do so as well...'

"Shamal is one of the best doctors that I know, though his personality leaves quite a lot to be desired..."

A silver haired teen was walking along the sidewalks of Namimori.

'I can't wait to walk Tsuna-sama to school, I'll make sure that nothing ever harms him!'

"Oh Gokudera!"

The bomber cringed visibly as his emerald gaze rested upon a certain baseball fan.

'Gah! Why the hell did I have to run into the baseball freak of all people!'

"Why are you here baseball freak?!"

The bomber yelled with annoyance, his previous good mood was now ruined.

"Haha! I wanted to walk with Tsuna to school!"

Takeshi laughed sheepishly as he scratched his cheek, the bomber grit his teeth in annoyance.

"You have no right to address Tsuna-sama like that you idiot!"

Hayato growled as he pulled out a few sticks of dynamite, lighting them all at once before throwing them.

'Tsuna-sama is the most amazing person in the world, that idiot is unworthy of his presence!'

The baseball fan raised his arms in defence with a laugh as he dodged the dynamite.

"Whoa! It's not safe to play with fireworks Gokudera!"

Hayato felt his eyebrow twitch in annoyance at the baseball fan's response.

"They're not fireworks!"

The bomber growled as he began to chase Takeshi towards Tsuna's house.

'He's such an idiot! They're obviously dynamite! I haven't even disguised them!'

'Haha! Hayato really seems to like playing with his fireworks!'

Takeshi grinned as he continued to skillfully dodge the explosives as he ran.

"Get back here you coward!"

The silver haired teen yelled angrily as he continued his assault.

'I guess we're both heading towards Tsuna's house together'

"I don't want your fireworks to hit me!"

Takeshi laughed, further angering the bomber.

'Ah, I wonder why nobody has noticed all of the noise Hayato is making...'

The raven haired teen paused in his running as Tsuna's house came into view, the bombs also stopped when Hayato realized how close he was to his sky's home.

"You're lucky that I don't want to disrupt Tsuna-sama 's neighbourhood"

The bomber growled as he stashed his dynamites away somewhere on his person.

'I wonder where he keeps all of those fireworks... Maybe he's like Hibari and has some kind of magic dimension for storing things... That seems most likely, if not he'd be in danger whenever he smoked...'

"Haha... I think that may already be too late Gokudera..."

Takeshi replied with a laugh, emerald eyes glanced around towards the nearby houses before a flustered blush was painted across his cheeks.

"Sh-shut up baseball idiot!"

The bomber replied, unaware of the onyx and honey eyes gazing at them from a window.

'Haha! I made him blush!'

"Your loyal puppy and shield have come to walk you to school again it seems"

Reborn stated, ignoring the disapproving look he received from the brunette.

"Hayato isn't a puppy..."

The brunette sighed as he straightened his uniform.

'There seems to be no lingering effects from his attack... Very odd...'

"Anyways, they probably would have been too late and missed you if things went smoothly this morning, am I right?"

The hitman inquired with a raised brow, the brunette silently nodded as he headed out of his room, almost bumping into Ie.

Brown eyes narrowed in annoyance.

"Watch where you're going Dame-Tsuna!"

Ie growled, the hitman noticed the subtle way the other looked over Tsuna's body, searching for weakness.

'He doesn't seem too fazed about Tsuna being able to stand...'

The hitman hopped onto Tsuna's head as the teen brushed past his brother with a slightly lowered head and towards the door. Ie followed down after him, however he went towards the kitchen instead.

"You need to eat Dame-Tsuna"

Reborn stated, annoyed when the teen ignored him in favour of opening the front door instead.

'I'm so tempted to kick some sense into him...'

"Yo Tsuna!"

Takeshi greeted with a smile and raised hand, Tsuna nodded in greeting as his gaze flickered towards the kitchen.

"Tsuna-sama, I have arrived to humbly escort you to school!"

Hayato stated, with a perfect ninety degree bow, Tsuna gently hit the bomber on the head with his fist.

Emerald eyes gazed up into honey in confusion.

"Tsuna doesn't want you to bow to him"

Reborn supplied.
