Chapter 2

Me a mafia boss?

"Leon slow down I usually have to drag you home you're so lazy what's going on" Shizuka shouted while chasing after the boy.

Leon slowed down to allow the girl to walk beside him. "He did something to me I don't know what but he did something, he turned round and shot me I am sure he did" Leon replied in a frantic tone.

"Who is he" Shizuka questioned "my so called 'tutor'" he replied sharply his fists clenching at his sides.

"Are you sure I think I would have noticed if he was carrying a gun, I think you were just stressed and your mind imagined it up" Shizuka said placing her hand on his shoulder, she then continued "but hey you beat him didn't you I doubt he will ever pick on you again".

"But what about my head setting on literal fire that is just weird" Leon answered now feeling calmer his stance relaxing and fists unclenching,

"Maybe it's like those flame things I have seen my dad use when fighting, after all, my mum told me that your dad had like mastered them or something like that" Shizuka replied.

"So it's like a super power that's so cool" Leon exclaimed in a childlike tone.

"Seriously I think this has something to do with him something tells me my tutor is not what he seems" the brunette continued in a rather serious tone, with a distinct sharpness in his eyes. Leon knew he was going to get answers one way or another.

After that, the conversation between the two had tapered off into a comfortable silence. As always he and Shizuka split up the street just before his house.

With determination, he strode through the door only to be taken out by a sharp blow to his calf, this immediately sent him to the floor. With a condescending tone, Reborn declared "your late Mama was worried, now get up we have work to do". With that, Reborn strode up the stairs to their shared room.

Something told Leon that this was going to be a regular occurrence. With that, Leon picked himself off the floor slinging his bag over his shoulder and trudged up the stairs.

He then entered his room opposite the landing he had questions that need to be answered. With that, Leon strode into the room with as much confidence as he could muster. Upon entry, Leon exclaimed with force "Reborn we need to talk"

at that statement Reborn smirked and replied "oh what about".

To that Leon responded "what did you do to me when you shot me, I am sure you shot me".

"Those are dying will bullets that I shot you with" Reborn replied he then proceeded to pull out a white board from seemingly nowhere.

"A dying will bullet such as the one I shot you with, uses the pressure you face in a crisis to remove your body's limiters" Reborn lectured while drawing a human outline with arrows pointing out from the core of the human outline.

Continuing Reborn told Leon "you can then use this ability to fulfil you dying will you last regret before you were shot, this ability to use these flames is exclusively known to the mafia and is part of the reason I am here for".

Something told Leon that he wasn't going to like what Reborn was about to say next. "You have been chosen to be the next boss of the Vangola familia, it is my job to ensure you will be a suitable boss should you attempt to escape, I will hunt you down and cause you an indescribable amount of pain" Reborn uttered in an almost happy tone.

"With that out of the way allow me to introduce myself I am your home tutor and the mafias best Hitman, you can call me Reborn and I will make you into the next boss of the Vangola" Reborn proclaimed with a gleam in his eye.

With that Leon stood up and exited the room with one thought on his mind 'this is just a dream no way me a mafia boss no, no, no, no I will wake up in a second and this will all be a dream'.

At that moment, a fist flew towards Leon's head courtesy of Reborn. "Wake up baka Leon you have homework to do a good mafia boss always completes his work on time" Reborn chirped in his ear.

"Wrong do it again or I'll shot you" Reborn barked in Leon's ear while pointing a gun at his head, "okay okay I am doing it" Leon shrieked while hurriedly scribbling down a new answer. One thought prevailed through Leon's head 'I am gonna die.'

Fortunately a saviour in the form of Mama's voice saved Leon from any further torment "boys dinner is ready come and get it" she shouted up the stairs, with that Reborn gun glowed and changed into a chameleon freaking Leon out.

With that Reborn walked out the room and headed down the stairs Leon hurriedly followed after him.

"Man it has been one long day" Leon mumbled to himself

The next morning Leon was awoken by a hammer to the face. "Itai, itai, itai that hurt Reborn" to which Reborn responded by pointing at his alarm clock.

As per usual Leon bolted out his bed gathered his books, had a shower, got dressed and almost fell down the stairs. He then ran into the kitchen grabbed some toast, as he ran through the kitchen he noticed Reborn sitting there smugly with a cappuccino in hand.

With that Leon observation put to the back of his mind he bolted out of the house only to run into Shizuka. "Wow, miracles do happen you're really early" Shizuka spoke with a mild tone of surprise.

'Damn Reborn must have messed with my alarm clock, man I could have had a real breakfast' Leon thought to himself as he and Shizuka walked to school at a sedate pace. "So you hear we are getting two new exchange students one is like a genius and the other is some kind of kendo prodigy," Shizuka said breaking the silence.

"No, but I bet that will be cool, hey Shizuka do you want to do something tomorrow" replied Leon.

Lifting her hand to her face and cupping her face she responded "it has been a while sure why not let's go and watch a movie".

With that, they entered the school Shizuka as usual left to go do paperwork in the disciplinary committee office. Meanwhile, Leon headed off to his classroom.

"So that's him then he doesn't seem like much" whispered a young teen with grey hair and what seemed to be a kendo practice sword over his shoulder, in Namori boys uniform.

His companion replied "he may not seem like much, but the smoking bomb also described his boss as a wimp at first". The companion was a slightly taller than the average teen with black hair and green eyes with a lithe build, in his hand was a gold lighter.

Meanwhile, Reborn was observing the interactions between the two teens behind the tree from which they were observing his student. 'They have arrived already this should be interesting' Reborn thought to himself.

Leon entered the classroom and made his way to his seat. "Yo baka Leon did you hear the two new exchange students are joining our class," a boy of average height with blond hair said the person who sat next to Leon.

"No, that's weird don't they usual assign new students to classes that are smaller" Leon responded when you were friends with the head of the discipline committee you learned a bit about the school rules.

"Yeah, apparently they asked to be put in this class crazy right" continued the blond boy enthusiastically. With that, the boy turned background to his desk his right eye flashing red for an instant.

Something told Leon that this had something to do with Reborn and the mafia-like an itch in the back of his head something wasn't right not at all.

With that the bell rang and the teacher addressed all the students in the classroom "students I would like to introduce you to our two new exchange students, Takehiko superbi and Gino Bertesca please make them feel welcome".

With that, the two boys walked to the two free desks in the room the boy called Takehiko taking the seat right behind him and Gino taking a seat near the front. Takehiko then proceeded to glare at the back of Leon's head for some unknown reason.

'It's finally lunch break I got to get out of here that Takehiko kid has not stopped glaring at me seriously what did I do to him' Leon pondered to himself. While heading to the stairwell that lead to the roof of the school his and Shizuka normal meeting place for lunch. Leaning against the fence and slowly sliding down to the floor, Leon pulled out his bento wrapped in an orange cloth, orange was always his favourite colour he didn't know why but it was.

He then pulled out a second bento wrapped in a purple cloth Leon insisted that it be wrapped in a purple cloth simply saying to Shizuka "purple suits you". This was a fairly common event as Shizuka was an awful cook so Leon prepared the bentos for them just before going to sleep.

With that, Shizuka dropped down from the fence and grabbed the bento before sitting down against the fence with Leon. "I don't like those new guys something was off with them" Shizuka noted as she ate her bento.

"I don't know they seemed like nice guys I guess I don't think they like me though" Leon replied.

Turning to him slightly Shizuka asked in an accusing tone "why what you do to them". Waving his hands in front of his face Leon immediately replied "I didn't do anything to them I didn't even get to talk to them, they have had crowds of people around them all day". With that the two fell back into a comfortable silence.

Meanwhile, Reborn watched the interactions between his student and his friend 'just as I thought she will be perfect for her role, now onto more pressing matters'. With that Reborn leapt from the roof he was observing his student from it was time to set up a test for his newest student. With that Reborn went off to find the two new so called 'exchange students'. Things were about to get very interesting

After lunch Leon returned to the lesson in a far more cheerful mood, after all, a few more lessons on Friday than the weekend began for him. With that the rest of the day went by in a flash final lesson was algebra it dragged on but eventually finished with that final bell rang and Leon shoved his supplies into his satchel ready to go. With that Leon speed to the door just as he was about to exit an arm grabbed him by the back of the collar. It was one of the new kids Gino if he remembered correctly and dragged him backwards, moving closer to him Gino whispered into his ear "meet us tomorrow on the roof Vangola we want to have a little talk, and you'll come or don't you like your friend Shizuka that much".

With that he released Leon and exclaimed "careful there you're lucky I caught you, you could have hurt yourself" that said he turned round a continued to talk to the other guys who had gathered round him.

With that Leon scurried out of the classroom and headed to go a meet Shizuka 'what do I do what do I do' Leon screamed internally. With that he ran straight into Shizuka who was waiting for him at the gate. Luckily he didn't knock her over.

"Whoa, Leon what the hell" Shizuka exclaimed. But before she could even get another word out Leon grabbed her hand and dragged her down the street with the strength of a raging bull.

"Leon, Leon, Leon slowdown" Shizuka screamed with that they both came to an immediate halt, "what the hell is going on" Shizuka screamed in a still frantic tone.

To that, Leon turned around and replied "the captain of the boxing club started chasing me so I ran I think that made him even madder". With that Shizuka sighed and they both continued to walk in relative silence. 'It worked for now I can't let her get involved in this I have to protect her I have to fight' with that they went their separate ways.
