…..I AM SO SORRY. This chapter was horrendous to get out. It took me coming back to it about 50 times and maybe typing one or two sentences every time. XD I'm horrible I know!~
ER MEH GERD LOOK AT THOSE REVIEWS THO! I'm astonished I say! Astonished! Never in my life had I expected that many reviews. XD
Now for all those who reviewed…..thank you so much for commenting over my story! I'm glad you find it enjoyable to read.
NOW ONWARDS-TO THE STORY~~~ (sorry its like 3 in the morning. O,o)
Reborn stared at the apartment. No one was home. He frowned and put the poorly-done advertisement for a tutor in the small mail slot by the apartment door. Nono had suddenly told him he needed a favor. That was half a day ago. Having been told it was very urgent, he had rushed here as soon as he got the job.
He had wanted to observe his student, but he had no time. He was hoping he might get a glimpse of them when he was putting the advertisement in the mail, but all the lights where out. He left to go find a hotel room for the night. He would be bunking in his students place afterward.
The next morning reborn immediately set out to find his student. He examined the files from her folder and frowned at the lack of information. There was a brief description of Tsunayoshi Sawada's looks. Brown hair, brown eyes, and has a petite stature. It also mentioned that her mother was deceased. No wonder there wasn't much information.
Iemetsu must have pulled back the ones watching his family so that there was nothing that pulled attention to his child. It was smart, but there was the option of Iemetsu having his child brought to him when the mother died. He must be running from the truth it seemed. Reborn nodded at the small information he had and put the folder away.
Reborn walked up the stairs preparing himself to mess with his new student. As soon as Reborn's foot touched the last step, his body went rigid. His hand inched towards his gun as he carefully eyed his surroundings. It felt as if he had passed through some sort of barrier.
His shoulders where tense as he felt the strange presence seemingly envelop him. Reborn had never experienced such a thing since he's been alive. That's new considering the life he has lived. Reborn slowly removed his hand from his gun and tilted his fedora down to shadow his eyes. He had only paused barely second while these thoughts passed. Reborn kept himself aware as he approached his student's door and knocked.
Reborn had no clue what the feeling was that had rushed over him, but it would literally be calming, if he knew who, or where it was coming from.

Tsuna felt awkward as she pulled open the door. In the entire time she has lived in the apartment, only about a handful of people have knocked on her door. Most had simply mistaken her apartment number for someone else's. Besides the couple of kids who have tried selling her cookies for some odd reason or another. It always made her feel awkward when she answered her door to people. Of course she worked around strangers, but having them at her door and near her little safe spot was weird.
As soon as she had the door fully opened she blinked at the handsome man in front of her. "May I help you?"
The man was wearing a pleasant looking suit and slacks. On his head was a black fedora with a bright yellow ribbon around it. She paused at the curly sideburns that adorned his cheeks. If she would say so herself, this man was definitely a looker.
The man's eyes where zoomed in on her and assessing her every move. Tsuna smiled at the man and gave him a curious look. "May I help you with something?" The man swiftly nodded and offered a small smirk. "I'm here looking for a Sawada Tsunayoshi, daughter of Iemetsu Sawada and Nana Sawada."
Tsuna's eyes narrowed and she backtracked to what Giotto had told her the last time they spoke. He had mentioned a tutor would be coming to train her for the position. This man was Renato Sinclair. Supposedly number one hitman in the world. She had read up a bit on the mafia not a few years or so before her mission. She only skimmed the information though, so she doesn't know that much about him. The only reason she skimmed the info was because he seemed to become quite the human down below. Plus the amount of demons he has is strange.
"That would be me I suppose. May I ask your name?" Sinclair took off his fedora and placed it across his chest as he slightly bowed. "My name is Reborn. I was sent by your father." Tsuna raised a brow and opened the door a little more. Huh, maybe a name change?
"Let's continue inside." He nodded and followed her to the dining table and slid into the seat she motioned to. Hitman or no, he was a gentlemen when he wanted to be.
Tsuna motioned toward the kitchen. "Would you like something to drink?" Reborn nodded slightly and she moved towards the kitchen. "What would you like? I have tea, water, and coffee."
"Black coffee if you would."
A few minutes later she came back with two cups of coffee. The man took his and thanked her. Tsuna sat down across from his at the table and slightly sipped her slightly sugary one. "Now let's get straight to the point." She set her cup down at the same time Reborn did.
She placed her chin on her hand. "Why exactly did my father send you here?" Reborn slightly smirked at the tone of her voice and tapped the table twice.
"Do you know anything about the mafia? That your father is involved?" Tsuna nodded and kept her expression neutral. "Of course."
Reborn nodded. He wasn't surprised really, considering how much her father is known in the Mafia world, she must know at the very least something. How she knows though, is a question he could ask at a later time.
"Do you know of the famiglia he is in and how famous it is?" She nodded once more and took a small sip of her cooling coffee. "Of course."
"Well, as of last week, the last heir was killed. Unfortunately, or fortunately, however you choose to see it, you are the only available heir at the moment. I am here to personally teach you the ways of the Mafia as well as groom you into a leader."
Tsuna made sure she looked slightly worried and a little confused, since she already knew most of this would happen. She was a little saddened though by the deaths of the previous heirs. She would be sure to pray for their souls until she heard news of hoe they were in the next life.
"Considering I'm a civilian and have been off the Mafia's radar for some time now, I'm curious as to how you found me." Tsuna could tell he seemed to be keeping some of the truth away from her.
"We will speak of it another time." He finished his coffee and pushed his coffee away. "I will be required to stay here while I'm teaching you."
Tsuna blinked and sat up. "What?" She needed her privacy! "I'm sure there's an empty apartment next to m-"
Reborn hummed and tapped his fingers on the table as he leaned forward while maintaining eye contact with her. "I will be staying here for the time being."
Tsuna slightly fumed at the man. This was not supposed to happen! She rubbed her forehead in frustration before slumping back into her chair. Reborn seemed to enjoy her reaction, which made her huff. Tsuna bit her lip in acceptance. Maybe some company may do her good. This was quite annoying though.
"So basically I'll be supplying the shelter and you will supply the training. Although I may have a bit of trouble supplying food considering I can barely pay the rent."
Reborn nodded while he took his fedora off and placed it on the table. "If needed I will help you financially, but continue as you have been. I wish to see how you live your life on a daily basis."
With a nod she stood from the chair. "Deal. Here, I'll show you where everything is. You're lucky I have a guest bedroom."
He stood and followed her down the hallway. She taped on the closet they passed. "Nearly any closet you see is full of paintings. If I'm low on money I sell them off. Feel free to look."
After showing him around, he excused himself saying he had business to deal with. After he left, she nearly locked the door behind him. She could tell the man was very professional. His aura itself seemed slightly mysterious and a tad bit prideful. She would be able to get a better read of his character later on.
Tsuna shuddered and lowered herself to the bed. Although the barrier she had placed at the entrances where very mild in level, they should have knocked off the low level demons that where attached to the man. Only a few fell before he entered though. Plus those low level demons where really hooked into him. She must put up a better barrier if he is going to be staying here.
Tsuna threw her legs over the side of the bed. She waved her hand in a circular motion as white energy glowed around it, making her smile a bit. She stood and walked first to her window. Reaching out her hand to the window frame, a slight glow emitted around the edges. The white energy flowed from her hand to the energy around the window strengthening it considerably. The flow stopped and the entire space the window took up was emitting a white glow.
Tsuna did the same to her bedroom doorway. She wanted her bedroom to have nearly no demons. If Reborn has a slightly stronger demons she didn't spot in her short amount of time with him then, it may try crawling around the house looking for someone to feed on. Hopefully it will die from passing through all the barriers in the house though. She had one placed on every door and window. Heck even her bathroom door. Through the rest of the house, she only strengthened them to the point where they would at least get of the slightly bigger low level ones that were attached to Reborn.
After completing her task, she wandered into her room to take a small nap before the hitman arrived. Tsuna felt as if she should savor this nap. Than man gave her bad vibes, so that probably meant that as long as he was around, her life may be a bit stressful.
…...How was this chapter? Bad? Good? Horrendous? Meh?
Please let me know what you think!
Any adjustments I could make? Also I feel as if Reborn's character came out a bit weird here. Is it just me or do y'all see it too?
