Reborn stared angrily at the empty seat that was between Verde and Fon. It had been empty for a year and all, including himself, had tried to contact the little daredevil. The fact that he didn't answer, especially, when he called, angered him greatly. Doesn't help that he upset Tsuna and Yuni with his little disappearing act.

Reborn scowled as Mammon took a seat next to him. "Still angry at Skull and not being able to find him?" he asked with a small smirk. Reborn glared from underneath his fedora. "I am not angry," he said, leaning closer and taking the safety off his gun, "I'm downright furious. And I am able to find him, I just haven't tried. He isn't my problem," Reborn finished with a hiss. Mammon kept his smirk, but he did lean away from the angered sun.

Yuni sighed weakly from the head of the table. The Arcobaleno hasn't been the same without their resident Cloud around. It didn't help that by being the youngest for so long, excluding her since she was technically new, he was the baby of the family. Not hearing from him in so long made everyone's stress levels rise. She looked around at her stressed elements and felt a frown form.

Mammon might seem relaxed, but he hasn't been counting his money lately. Verde was actually at the table instead of down in his lab experimenting. Lal was there, but she wasn't getting onto Colonello and said blonde looked bored and wasn't as hyperactive as usual.

Yuni finally decided that enough was enough. Even Fon was acting different, albeit, he seemed to be the least effected, but that doesn't mean he wasn't. He was more easily agitated than normal and seemed more protective of the teens now.

"Still no word from Skull?" she asked softly. Everyone seemed to tense and got strangely silent. "No. He still isn't answering his phone and he isn't in Italy, Japan, America, China, Russia, or Germany," Lal said. Verde rubbed his temple as he spoke next, "Those are the countries he mostly visits, but he also goes to France, Spain, Brazil, India, and Romania."

Mammon shook his head with a frown. "If he is avoiding us, then he wouldn't be in places we would check," he stated bored. Reborn huffed while Colonello slammed his fist on the table. "He isn't avoiding us!" he snarled. "He might just be in trouble or not able to contact us at the moment, but he isn't avoiding us. If he was going to do that, he would have done so long ago," he said. Lal gently placed her hand on the blonde's shoulder, calming him down.

"But he does have a point," Fon pointed out, much to Colonello's chagrin. "He probably is in a place we wouldn't check for him," Reborn looked down at the table in thought. Yuni blinked owlishly in question. As far as she knew, her Cloud goes anywhere he wants, whenever he wants.

Reborn felt an idea form in his head. "I'm going to go look for him in one last place," He said suddenly standing. Everyone stared at him in confusion. Mammon frowned at him, looking ready to follow. "Alone. I'll bring the lackey back," he smirked confidently.

Mammon let the frown fall, but still felt the need to follow. "Out of all of our faces, you really think he'll want to see yours first," he said with a smirk. Reborn raised a brow and tilted his fedora up out of his face, his obsidian eyes locked with dark intent on the Mist user. Said man scowled and looked away. Yuni looked between the two in confusion while Fon just shook his head.

Reborn smirked though. "He doesn't have much choice."

"Does he now?"

He felt like an idiot. How could he forget how much Skull hated being here? When they first became a team, not yet a family, they worked anywhere not here. The moment they got a job in this country, Skull immediately wanted off the boat. It took heavy bribery and a big chunk of the pay before Skull agreed, but he bolted out immediately after it was finished.

The United Kingdom. It was mostly just England and Scotland he avoided the most, he doesn't put up much of a fight with just passing through Ireland or sometimes Whales, but heaven forbid should he stay for a day.

Reborn grinned as he stepped up to the old building. It should be falling apart from disuse and poor care, but it looked new and used and currently, judging from the lights being on, lived in. He quickly stepped up and knocked sharply on the door.

"Who's there?" a familiar voice called. Reborn felt himself grin and kept silent, just knocked again. He heard an agitated huff as the door opened. "I asked who's the-," he cut himself off. Obsidian eyes stared coolly into surprised Violet ones. Skull gaped for a moment before blushing brilliantly, which Reborn could understand now that he looks down at what the Cloud was wearing.

He, to be honest, has only ever seen him in his usual spandex garbage. But now he wore a tight, white long sleeved shirt and black lounge pants, he was barefoot and without all those cosmetics on his face. Even his usual bandages and piercings were gone.

"So this is where you've been hiding," Reborn said, pushing past the violet and into the house. It looked homier for sure, nothing at all like it used to. What confused the hitman was some of the smaller details, like the extra plate in the sink or some toys that litter the floor. He knows his Cloud is childish, but this is a bit excessive.

"Oh, well. You see. I was going to call. Swear I was. But then all this other stuff happened and," Reborn turned and glared at the violet. Skull stiffened and turned away. "You have Yuni and Tsuna worried sick," Reborn snarled.

Skull back away and looked sadly towards the floor. "I'm sorry," he said, but his eyes were different. They were sorry, but they weren't at the same time. They were saying, 'I would do this again if I had to and you know it'. Reborn scowled at him and took a step closer to the teen. "Do not lie to me lackey," he growled. Skull looked up with his own scowl. "I'm not a lackey!" he almost shouted, like he was trying to keep his voice down.

Reborn raised a brow. "What are you hiding then?" he asked. Skull didn't budge surprisingly. He just glared back, he was only a few inches shorter than Reborn and was surprisingly all muscle, but he wasn't as skilled, but he was fast. The two glared angrily at each other. "I'm not hiding anything," Skull said.

Reborn rolled his eyes. "Enough of this," he said, making his way towards the teen. Skull stiffened and fell back. "W-what are you doing!?" he squealed. Reborn smirked down at the other. "I'm taking you home," Skull frowned and tried to wiggle himself away from the raven. "Not a chance," Skull snarled angrily.

The two continued this for a few minutes, ignoring the small feet that walked down the steps and stood there staring at them with bored onyx eyes. "When your done playing, will you two kindly be quiet," it wasn't a question.

Reborn turned, pulled out his gun and pointed it at the child. Obsidian met Onyx while Violet looked wildly between the two. "Who Are you?" Reborn asked. The child blinked before looking towards Skull. The child didn't look anything like the teen, who was too young to even have a child this age in the first place.

Skull finally managed to push himself between the two and glare at Reborn's gun. "This is Severus, he's my um..." Skull fidgeted slightly. Severus rolled his eyes. "I'm his son, he adopted me from his cousin, my mother. So technically, I'm his charge, son, and nephew all rolled into one," he stated plainly. Skull turned and pouted at the child. "Are you sure your six?" he asked. Severus shrugged but didn't reply.

Reborn sighed and lowered his gun. "This is where you've been? Of playing family and leaving your actual family to worry endlessly about you? We thought you were hurt or, even worse, dead!" Reborn shouted angrily. Skull flinched, but felt confusion in the back of his mind. "Worried?" he whispered, looking up fearfully and almost hopefully. "You were worried about me?" he asked. Reborn stiffened, taking a step away from the other. "We," he stressed needlessly. "We were worried about you."

Skull grinned at the raven while said man glared at the other. Severus looked between the two and huffed. "I'm going to bed," he said and walked back up stairs. Reborn followed the child with his eyes before turning back to the violet. "He better not be in my room," he growled. Skull blinked but shook his head.

"No, but I had to make a few changes. We haven't used this house in forever so I decided to change it to fit what I needed. "I left yours and Mammon's rooms alone, I didn't want to die. I kept mine and Severus got Fon's room," Skull said. Reborn blinked before he looked down with a frown.

"That leaves one room for four people," Reborn said. Skull chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Yea, but it wasn't like we were using this house," he said slowly. Reborn shook his head but walked up the stairs.

Skull flipped out, closed the front door and hurried up after him. "Where are you going?! What are you doing?!" he asked worriedly. Reborn smirked at him. "I just found your ass, I'm going to sleep," he said. Skull gaped at him once more. Reborn walked into his room, leaving the stunned Cloud in the hallway. "Also," he added, before closing his door. "You look good like that," he smirked as he closed the door, not missing the blush that seemed to take over the Cloud's entire body.

Skull rushed towards his own room where Oodako was, who stared curiously at him. "I think I'm in trouble," he stated to his partner. Skull fell face first onto his bed. "Maybe if I go to sleep, he'll be gone in the morning," Skull said hopefully. Oodako squirted water at him, probably telling him that would never happen. Skull sighed and stared at the ceiling.

"A guy can dream right?"

I got a review asking about the timeline so I thought I would explain it. This is set after KHR has ended. Yes I know Harry Potter, especially the part where I'm starting, happens before their time, but in this it happens at the same time. The the setting of this KHR has ended and the Arcobaleno curse is broken. Instead of aging like regular babies, they age rapidly to their actual age. So at this moment, Severus is 6 and Lambo is 6, so I hope this clears up any confusion.

Oh, and the pairing for who Severus ends up with has ended. It is going to be!

*Insert Drumroll*

Severus x Lambo
