The hitman raised a brow at the brunette when he heard the teen's stomach growl.

'It seems as if he should have eaten more at lunch'

"Still hungry?"

Reborn questioned, Tsuna glanced away.

"I'll be fine"

The brunette replied softly with a faint blush dusting his cheeks.

"Maybe you should pack an extra big lunch tomorrow to share with your guardians"

'That way he has no choice but to eat'

The brunette tilted his head slightly as he pondered the hitman's proposition, eventually he nodded.

"If I have time..."

The honey eyed teen muttered before closing the book and standing up, he picked up Reborn so that the hitman was being held to his chest like a teddy bear.

'I don't appreciate being carried like this, however since he doesn't seem to be trying to mock me, I'll let it slide...'

The hitman was silent as the brunette walked towards the window, the teen seemed to have noticed that something was amiss.

"Tsuna?..."

Reborn prompted the moment he was set down on the window sill. Slightly startled when the honey gaze jolted in his direction, causing the infant to frown.

'It's as if he had forgotten me within the few seconds that he had put me down...'

"Uh... I've got to go deal with a few intruders..."

Tsuna explained as he climbed into the window, Reborn's inner flame jolted in worry at the other's words when he remembered how the teen had been taken last time.

'What if he gets taken again, but this time he doesn't return...'

"I'm coming"

The teen shook his head as he smiled softly towards the hitman.

"No, can you please guard the house? I'll be fine, but Ieyoshi-sama hasn't returned yet and I don't want to leave mom all alone..."

'What help would that idiot be anyways?...'

Reborn's eyes narrowed at the mention of Ie, however he still found himself nodding in compliance to the teen's words.

"Fine, but you better return, I'd probably kill Baka-Ie for annoying me if you don't return"

'I wouldn't be able to put up with him if Tsuna wasn't around to make things interesting...'

The hitman replied, lowering his fedora to hide his smirk when he noticed how Tsuna's gaze narrowed slightly.

"I guess that I'd better return swiftly then"

'Protecting his brother from me should be a good enough incentive for him to return'

The brunette replied before disappearing into the night, Reborn stood upon the window sill and gazed out it, slightly annoyed that he for some reason followed the teen's wishes when they were not beneficial.

'His stupid sky aura is just getting into my head...'

"Ah Kyoya, you've sensed it as well?"

The brunette questioned softly as he landed onto a roof, Steel grey flashed towards him in confirmation.

"Hn, trespassers, I will bite them to death"

'They will pay for entering my territory'

Honey melted into a warm orange as the brunette crouched onto the ground and flickered his gaze around the rooftops.

"They seem to be the usual"

Tsuna stated, the skylark nodded.

"Hn"

'The baby carnivore's skills in sensing people seem to have improved once again...'

A dark smile graced the brunette's lips and a demonic one upon the skylark's as they both took off across the roofs towards where the disturbance was felt.

"Hn... Flames necessary?"

The skylark questioned as he held out a glowing purple tonfa, the brunette nodded.

"Yeah, I've recently learned that your flames are called dying will flames, supposedly I have them to"

'So the baby carnivore's fangs will grow even sharper...'

The brunette shivered slightly at the excited glimmer within steel orbs.

"Though my body can't handle them and they almost killed me"

Tsuna added quickly, not wanting to fight the demonic perfect at the moment. An annoyed glare rested upon him courtesy of the perfect.

'Pity, though that must be what affects his eyes and gives him some of his strange abilities...'

Tsuna suddenly leapt to the side in order to dodge being impaled by a knife, orange eyes narrowed when a glinting string was seen in the moonlight.

"It's what they used to capture me before..."

The brunette muttered, causing the skylark to tense, setting his weapons ablaze with fierce purple flames.

"Hn..."

Burning orange caught the slight unease within the skylark and he turned slightly towards him, offering a soft smile.

"Don't worry, I allowed myself to be caught last time"

Tsuna replied as he raised an arm in front of his face to stop one of the wires from wrapping around his neck, instead it wrapped around his arm, drawing blood.

'True, if the baby carnivore had actually been captured against his will, the whole area would have been devastated, and we would be retreating right now instead of attacking'

The brunette swiftly pulled out his trusted knife and cut the wire that was immobilizing him, sighing softly in relief once his arm was free.

He clicked his tongue in annoyance when none of their targets came into view.

"Herbivorous tactics..."

'They will never become carnivore's... Just herbivores with fancy toys'

Kyoya hissed as he launched himself towards an open window, not pleased with how their enemies always tried their best to hide.

Meanwhile Tsuna's eyes glowed a more potent orange hue as he brought the knife up, becoming pleased when he could see a faint orange coating his weapon. It wasn't strong enough for flames, however it still seemed stronger than before.

"Come and get me! I'm the one you want right?!"

Tsuna called before slashing the knife in a long horizontal arc to counter five blades with wires attached.

The skylark rolled his eyes at the brunette's tactics, rather much preferring the chase instead of luring.

'The baby carnivore often is an oddity...'

A feral grin marred the skylark's lips as he came across a masked man dressed in white.

"I will bite you to death!"

He snarled before leaping down upon his prey, enjoying the startled scream erupting from his prey's lips.
