"Baby carnivore, proceed to file away my paperwork"

Kyoya stated as he motioned towards one of the side desks in the disciplinary committee's office.

The brunette smiled lightly before heading towards the desk.

"Okay Kyoya"

'The baby carnivore is quite useful'

Tsuna replied softly, the demonic perfect nodded in satisfaction before heading towards his own desk to work on a different stack of paperwork.

After some time, the demonic perfect paused and put down his pen.

"How is your health?"

'He seems to be tiring rather quickly lately...'

The raven inquired, the brunette paused and looked up from the paperwork solemnly as he shook his head.

"No good... I think, that I'm running short of time..."

'Impossible, the baby carnivore can't lose, I won't allow it'

The brunette sighed as he twirled the pen on the desk, his interest of paperwork quickly lost.

Steel grey narrowed in distaste as he stalked towards the smaller teen.

"It sounds as if you've become herbivorous, have you truly given up?"

The perfect stated darkly, honey blinked as sadness flickered within them before the brunette shook his head.

"No, my tutor, well, self appointed tutor has supposedly called in a special Doctor that may be able to help me"

The raven raised a brow before a dark smirk appeared upon his face.

'A doctor? I'll make him heal the baby carnivore...'

"Then why do you seem so down baby carnivore?"

'I don't like seeing the baby carnivore acting herbivorous'

"Because I don't think that he will be able to help me, though I can't help but hope that he can..."

Tsuna whispered softly.

'Hn... The baby carnivore seems to be conflicted'

"Hn, then you should cling onto the hope"

Tsuna shook his head before responding.

"I don't think that I deserve it..."

Tsuna mumbled, causing the demonic perfect to scowl further.

'Such a reckless baby carnivore, if he keeps acting like this, he'll never be a full carnivore...'

"You're the most caring and mysterious creature that I have ever come across"

Tsuna smiled wryly at the response.

"Thanks, I know that you prefer not to talk like me"

"Hn, when it comes to your health, I shall put up with some socialization. What about that herbivore brother of yours?"

The brunette shook his head sadly.

"Ieyoshi-sama is getting worse..."

'If only the baby carnivore would allow me to tear my tonfas into his herbivorous brother... He shouldn't call him Ieyoshi-sama...'

"I can dispose of him"

The skylark replied, a dark glint present within his eyes, however Tsuna frowned in disapproval.

"No..."

"He's not worth it"

'Not worth you being harmed...'

"I love him, he's my dear little brother..."

"He'll kill you..."

'I want to kill him'

"I know..."

With that, the two continued on with their respective stacks of paperwork, though neither one of them seemed too interested in them.

"I think that's enough training for one day"

The hitman stated as he took in the battered state of his idiotic student. Ie's was wearing nothing but his blue boxers and he was covered in countless cuts and bruises.

'It's close to dinner time, and I should wait until Shamal gets here before I shoot him with the tenth dying will bullet...'

"F-finally... You're such a spartan tutor..."

Ie wheezed from his place laying on the ground.

"Hmm Leon, would you like to have a few more shots at him?"

The hitman questioned in amusement as he pet the green chameleon while watching the teen pale.

"Please no! I'll be quiet now!"

Ie squeaked, the hitman lowered his fedora to hide his disgust of the other's cowardly actions.

'He seems to know who's in charge now, however I doubt that with his brain capacity, that he'd actually remember after he's out of range... A mafia boss shouldn't be so short sighted nor so cowardly'

"Fine then make your own way back home, I'd rather get out of the presence of an idiot..."

Reborn replied before disappearing within the forest.

'I'm curious about what Tsuna has been doing...'

'Gah stupid infant! Stupid psychotic baby! He's always more interested in Dame-Tsuna and just uses me for target practice!'

Ie groaned in annoyance as he sat up and felt tiredness and pain shoot through his bones.

'Damn that baby is strong... It's not fair, I'm older but he's stronger...Maybe he is on steroids or something... Actually that would explain his psychotic behaviour, I think...?'

He then stood up with the help of a tree, staggering slightly in the process.

'When I'm stronger, both that psychotic baby and Dame-Tsuna will pay...'

Reborn entered through Tsuna's bedroom window and was greatly pleased to see that the brunette was there, sitting on the floor with his legs crossed reading an Italian book on cooking.

"Thinking of learning how to cook some more meals?"

'I wonder if he'd be good at cooking Italian food...'

The hitman inquired as he hopped over and settled himself in the teen's lap.

The brunette hummed softly in response before looking down from the book and towards the hitman.

"I'm thinking about trying to warm up Ieyoshi-sama with some good food..."

Tsuna replied softly, causing the hitman to frown.

'Bribery, smart, however I doubt that the effects would last long on someone like Baka-Ie...'

"It probably won't work"

Reborn stated after some thought, the honey eyed brunette just shrugged in response.

"It's fine, then I could at least try cooking you some food"

For some reason the hitman's inner flame jumped in response towards the brunette's words. He lowered his fedora to hide his small smile.

"I'm a picky eater"

'It's a kind thought...'

A small smile graced the teen's lips, honey orbs glimmering in amusement.

"Then I should study really hard in order to meet your high standards"

'I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did meet them, he's quite diligent in studying after all...'

"Then I'll be looking forward to what you cook for me"

Reborn smirked at the thought.
