"Whenever I fart and Tsuna's around, I blame it on him"

"I secretly like the colourful underwear Tsuna picks out for me"

"I like Tsuna's cooking"

"I miss Tsu-chan"

"I stole candy from a store and put it in Tsuna's bag to frame him"

"I'm afraid of heights"

"I flipped a girl's skirt and pretended to be Tsuna"

"I'm scared to learn why Tsuna became a monster"

"Damn traffic..." Shamal clicked his tongue as he lit a new cigarette while he steered through the streets. He was seriously concerned about the consequences of not making it in time. When he heard the Decimo candidate's brother's voice, he'd thought he was going to die.

'If the candidate's brother is that scary... I wonder how the actual candidate is...'

A sudden crash from above caused him to jerk the wheel to the side, almost colliding into another car. "The hell?!" He looked up, eyes wide in shock at the indent in the car roof. A chill ran down his spine at the threatening aura that suddenly enveloped him.

He slammed onto the brakes, spotting a fluffy brown haired body go flying in front of the car, crumpled on the ground. Before he could think to act, the body suddenly stood upright, as if it was being pulled by strings. Head lowered, the fluffy bangs kept its eyes from sight as the body, now identified as a boy stalked towards the car. Shamal caught his breath when the boy raised his head, orange eyes searing into his soul.

"Oh shit..." Shamal breathed as the brunette made his way towards the passenger door, opened it and sat beside him.

'This must be the candidate's brother...'

"I-I'm not slacking off, I'm seriously heading towards the location Reborn told me" Shamal quickly stuttered, cursing himself for losing his composure. The kid was damn freaky. Orange eyes flashed for a moment before being replaced by a soft honey shade, a warm smile graced the boy's lips.

Shamal let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding before taking his foot off of the brakes, turning his gaze towards the road. He didn't think the boy would kill him, at least not until he saved his brother. "Hey what's your—" He cut himself off, the boy was no longer there.

'Where the hell did he go? This is a moving car! Freaky ninja...'

Shamal decided that he didn't like Namimori when he drove by a raven haired teen wielding metal tonfas beating up a few policemen.

"Damn it Reborn! Where is that stupid doctor!" Ie hissed, his face a perpetual shade of red due to the skulls spreading his secrets. He'd managed to change his clothes into a simple grey t-shirt and brown slacks.

"I once put Tsuna's hand in warm water while he was sleeping and failed, the next morning I woke up realizing I wet the bed"

Reborn lowered his fedora at the new revelation hiding his smirk. He figured that Tsuna has done the same thing to Ie in revenge, Ie just hadn't noticed.

'Lazy-Tsuna is so devious, he'd make a great boss of Vongola'

"Why does a disease like this even exist?! It defies all logic" Ie whined as he crouched down on the ground, hiding his face in his hands.

"I once snuck laxatives into Nezu-Sensei's coffee just to get out of writing a test"

"Baka-Ie, That wasn't a very smart decision, you probably had to write the test anyways at a later date and then you had less time to learn the next material" Reborn admonished, Ie scoffed, wanting to leave but not wanting to die.

"Shut up you stupid baby! I'm not really in the mood to deal with you right now" Ie hissed, brown eyes glancing up at the hitman with a glare. Unfazed by the weak intimidation attempt, Leon shifted into a mallet as Reborn whacked his moronic student.

"Respect those with more power than you Baka-Ie" The hitman sighed, growing tired of the complete idiocy of the teen.

'Even Iemitsu is more intelligent than Baka-Ie, which is pretty sad in itself'

"I'm a teenager, you're just a baby, it's obvious who has more po—" The hitman sighed as he glanced at his unconscious student, he really was weak if he could be taken down by a single strike.

'It's best if he stays unconscious until after Shamal leaves, he might piss Shamal off enough that he wouldn't save Ie'

Reborn sincerely wanted that to happen in reality, however he was smart enough to know that the consequences wouldn't be worth it.

'Lazy-Tsuna would murder Shamal in cold blood, attempt to murder me, then proceed to attempt to destroy the mafia and end up in the Vendicare prison for life. Not a good outcome'

"You're late" The hitman drawled as Shamal walked through the door, he noted that the doctor seemed more nervous than he'd expected.

'If only Baka-Ie or Tsuna were female, then Shamal would have rushed and he could have helped Tsuna faster. Even as a female, Tsuna would be a great boss, the sexist mafioso wouldn't know what's coming to them until it was too late'

"I'm sorry, I was held up in traffic..." Shamal shivered at the reminder.

"Heal him, and don't you dare refuse just because he's male" Reborn cocked his Leon gun at him.

"I wouldn't dream on letting him die" Shamal replied darkly as he uncapped a pill, releasing a mosquito which went over towards the unconscious Ie and bit him. "He's healed, now please don't let his brother kill me" The doctor pleaded.

'Oh? It seems like Tsuna found him'

Leon shifted back into a chameleon as Reborn smirked. "Don't worry, Lazy-Tsuna is harmless unless you threaten those he cares about" The hitman felt a sadistic glee when Shamal's shoulders visibly relaxed.

'Lazy-Tsuna must have left quite the impression on Shamal'

"Oh thank god..." Shamal breathed in relief. "I'm getting the hell out of this town" He sighed as he headed towards the door, stopping when he felt the click of a gun's safety being released.

"Wait, there's someone else you need to look at" Reborn stated.
