AN: Hello to fanfiction readers everywhere! This is the chapter you've all been waiting for, the meeting between the Sawadas and the spartan tutor Reborn! Also, get ready for a surprising plot twist somewhere in the story!

Thanks to all of you who reviewed, I enjoy hearing about your opinion of my story, and I just wanted to say that if you have any advice I'd like to hear it, constructive criticism is a good thing after all. I started writing this fic as a way to improve my writing, so I won't be going back to change things from my previous chapters unless they cause problems for the story because I want to go through the story to see how my writing changes throughout the next chapters.

Starting from now on, I'll try my best to make sure that I spend more time on character interaction and their surroundings and less on the information overload I found myself writing in previous chapters.

WARNING: This fic may contain many clichés known to fanfic readers everywhere, but I hope that at least some of my ideas are original. If not—well, this is fanfiction people! We can't all be geniuses at literature!

Disclaimer: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or Harry Potter, they belong to JK Rowling and Akira Amano.

Death's Curse: Chapter 5

It was the early hours of the morning in Namimori, Japan; so no one saw nor heard the strange suit-wearing baby walk towards the Sawada household and leave something in the mail.

The Sawadas along with their neighbours were all asleep, not aware that in the following hours everything would change for the normal, relatively quiet streets of Namimori.

As the baby walked away, he smirked from under his fedora.

"Wah! What a nice day it is today, huh Natsu-kun?"

She looked over to her oldest son, he had soccer practice to attend so he'd woken up earlier.

"Natsu-kun, would you mind going upstairs to wake your brother, I want to talk about something to both of you okay?"

Natsume didn't reply, just walked upstairs.

He poked his head into his younger brother's room. It hadn't changed much over the years, with his bed on one side of the room and two bookshelves on the other, filled with books that Natsume knew his brother to have read at least once before. He wondered how Tsuna could read so much and yet get such low marks at school. The room wasn't tiny, but not overly huge like some of his friends rooms and the walls were painted orange, his brother's favourite colour. There was a small desk in one corner with a wooden chair which he used for homework, and another beanbag chair in the corner he used to read.

Looking at his brother, he could see Tsuna sleeping with his head under his pillow.

Getting ready to yell, he quickly walked over to Tsuna in order to be standing right over his ear.

"TSUNA, WAKE UP!"

It was funny seeing his usually well-composed brother startle, falling off the bed in his hurry to find the perpetrator of the scream.

"Natsume-kun, I'm tired, let me sleep for a few more minutes!", Tsuna drawled.

Natsume of course, didn't listen, so he just came over to Tsuna and told him that their mother wanted to tell them something.

"Kaa-san wants to tell us something..?"

Natsume smirked at his brothers drowsiness, he always got like this in the mornings.

"Yeah, I don't know why either, but hurry up! It seems important!"

He walked out of the room as soon as he saw that Tsuna was getting changed. It seemed that he was also intrigued as to why their mother would call for a 'family meeting' of sorts.

'I wonder why.'

XxxxxxxxxxX

Tsuna was curious to see why his mother had woken him up so early, she usually let him sleep for as long as he wanted, telling him about how she knew growing boys like him needed their sleep, not seeming to care either way as long as he got to school on time.

After getting changed into the school uniform (the tie was particularly difficult, even after all these years he had trouble with them), he headed downstairs to find Natsume eating and his own plate of breakfast filled with pancakes.

"Good morning Kaa-san!"

His mother just smiled and waited after he finished his breakfast alongside his brother.

"Natsu-kun, Tsu-kun, I have wonderful news! I was going through the mail today and I found this flyer for a live-in tutor! It's even absolutely free as long as we provide a place for him to stay and food! Isn't this great?"

She started to read the flyer; "Will raise your child to be the new leader of the next generation, grade and subject doesn't matter, Reborn."

Immediately Natsume was up, claiming it was probably a scam or something, while Tsuna remained in his chair.

'So he's finally arrived, Reborn the Arcobaleno.'

Slowly, everyone noticed as the front door opened, and in walked Reborn.

"Ciaossu."

Nana was confused. "Hello there little guy! Are you lost?"

The baby just looked at them and spoke; "I am the home tutor, Reborn."

Suddenly the toy everyone had thought was on his hat moved, and when he saw them looking at the now revealed chameleon he added: "And this is Leon."

Natsume looked incredulously at the baby.

"You mean YOU'RE the tutor? But you're a baby!"

Suddenly Reborn appeared in front of Natsume and kicked him in the head, knocking him to the floor.

Nana just said; "Oh look Tsu-kun, Natsu-kun and Reborn are playing!"

She smiled at the three of them and walked away.

"Maybe I should make some food for Reborn as well, he must be hungry!"

Tsuna sweat dropped. 'I really love you Kaa-san, but you are way too oblivious for your own good.'

It seemed the force behind Reborn's kick had knocked Natsume temporarily unconscious until their mom spoke and began to walk away.

Suddenly he jumped up.

"Don't make any food! It'll make him think you fell for his trick! He can't be a tutor, it's just some baby playing a prank or something!"

Reborn didn't look happy. Suddenly, he was holding a green gun which he pointed at Natsumes' head.

Before he knew what was happening, Tsuna found himself in between the gun and his brother, shielding him from the possible injury.

Reborn looked surprised, but quickly regained his superior smirk.

"Move Dame-Tsuna, or I'll shoot you."

Tsuna shook his head, no, he wasn't going to move until Reborn put the gun away.

It seemed his plan worked because a few seconds later the gun was gone.

And then he felt a kick and fell flat on his back.

'Wow! No wonder he's one of the Arcobaleno, I didn't even see that coming!'

Of course, Tsuna knew that while using his flames he might have been able to block the attack, he wasn't that bad while without them either; you'd have to be good to be able to fight against Hibari for hours on end and win sometimes. In a few years, maybe by the time he reached 17 years of age he might even win against Reborn, but for now the baby was far more superior.

He slowly stood up, masking the pain he felt as best as he could, something that Reborn seemed to have appreciated.

Suddenly, the baby started walking up the stairs and entered Natsume's room.

Tsuna's brother still hadn't said anything about the scene that had taken place earlier, asking himself why his brother would risk his life for him, while they barely got along most of the time.

Once everyone was in the room, Reborn started speaking.

"The truth is, I'm not here to help you get better grades, my real job is to make Natsume a mafia boss."

Natsume sat very still, staring at the baby while Tsuna did the same.

Reborn noticed that the younger brother didn't seem very surprised, something he'd have to figure out later.

After a few more seconds of staring at Reborn as if he had told them aliens were real or something equally ridiculous like that, Natsume fell on the floor, laughing.

"Hahahaaha! What are you talking about baby! Is there something wrong with your head?"

Reborn looked down at the floor. "Do you want me to shoot you?"

Tsuna looked at the baby wearily.

Reborn seemed to think about it and walked away. "Maybe later."

XxxxxxxxxxxxX

Natsume looked at Tsuna.

"Hey! Why are you so quiet, don't you think it's ridiculous that some baby can just come into our house and suddenly decide to train me as a mafia boss. On the other hand, why didn't he say anything about you? And why did you stand between us when he was pointing that toy gun at me?"

Tsuna look at his brother. "It wasn't fake."

Natsume took a long look at his brother. Tsuna's expression was dark, as if something bad was going to happen, something he was dreading. But he couldn't believe what had just happened.

"I mean, babies in the mafia, me as a future mafia boss? How am I even eligible? I'm just some kid that lives a normal life, I've never even had contact with mafia people?!"

Tsuna just sighed and looked over at his brother. "Maybe you should just go along with it until you see why the baby's really here."

Natsume just sat while his brother walked downstairs and started heading towards Namimori Middle.

That day, after so many years of being late or barely on time, Tsuna got to school early.

XxxxxxxX

Natsume was heading to school, and suddenly he found Reborn walking alongside him.

"Hey baby, don't you need to go to grade school or something? Go away! Why are you even following me?!"

Reborn just replied with: "Assassins don't go to grade school."

Natsume stopped walking. "Cut it with the mafia act baby! I've got better things to do than listen to you talk about your crazy delusions!"

Suddenly a girl from Natsume's class walked passed him, and Natsume stopped for a few seconds to stare goofily at her. She was tall with dark brown hair that reached her shoulders.

Reborn looked at him. "Do you like her?"

Natsume turned red. "It's none of your business baby!"

"I can read minds."

Reborn said this with a serious face so Natsume couldn't tell if he was lying.

"That's enough! Just leave me alone!"

Suddenly he found his arm twisted behind him as Reborn said "No".

"Okay, okay! I give! Let go of my arm!"

Reborn let go."Have you told her?"

"Of course not! She's dating one of my friends!"

Reborn just looked at him as if he was an idiot. "Then tell her about your feelings and fight for her love!"

Suddenly the gun was back. "Die."

Natsume barely managed to see the bullet come from the gun and then he felt as it went through his forehead.

'I'm going to die... And now I'm leaving the world... I should have told her with my dying will...I should have confessed...told her how I felt...'

Natsume suddenly burst out of his clothes, and while only wearing his underwear yelled.

"REBORN! I'M GOING TO TELL YAMANAKA SAKURA HOW I FEEL WITH MY DYING WILL!"

A flame was flickering for all to see on his forehead, and he spared a few seconds to notice he was almost naked, while soon after he began running after the girl.

Reborn, for the first time ever began to get the feeling that his stay in Japan had just gotten more complicated. Something had happened, something he didn't think anyone could have imagined.

'Those weren't orange sky flames, those were green lightning flames.'

Reborn started walking after Natsume, following the trail of destruction left by him in the usually peaceful and quiet streets of Namimori.

'This changes everything, I have to send a letter to Nono immediately.'

If only he knew that this new revelation was only the beginning of what was to come.

AN: Tah-dah! What do you think of this? Did any of you see this coming? What do you think?

I hope this is original enough for those of you who're tired of the 'older brother!' plot twist. In this chapter, you got to see much more character interaction so I hope you enjoyed it! As for the description of the characters surroundings, I'm getting there.

Next chapter we see the complications recent events caused, and a conversation between Tsuna and Reborn! Hibari might also make to the next chapter, and maybe I'll add a small scene in Iemetsu's POV.

By the way, I'm not that good at coming up with names for OCs, something you probably noticed in this chapter regarding the name of Natsume's crush. Once again I took some dialogue from the manga to help with this chapter, but don't worry, I'll start deviating from canon at around chapter 10 or so, definitely before the Kokuyo arc.

Thanks for reading the latest chapter in Death's Curse, and don't forget to review!
