Oki: Time is ticking...*looking at watch*
Yama: ...
Oki: We don't own KHR!
Yama: Tsuna's gender is out...to two people!
Oki: R and R!

"So you are a girl…" Lavi nodded thoughtfully. It made sense, since the Vongola heir was said to be a female.
Tsuna remained silent as he listened to Lavi mumbling. Right now, she was in her room with Lavi and Kanda, all three of them sitting on her bed. Tsuna had pulled them both into her room and locked the door before anyone else could find out about her real gender.
Kanda stood up and opened the door. "I'm going back." If they stayed in Tsuna's room for too long, the others would be worried.
Lavi smiled and headed for the door too, only to be pulled by the sleeve.
"You won't tell the others?" Tsuna pleaded. Lavi mildly blushed and shook his head.
Tsuna peeked at Kanda, who was standing at the door, scowling. Lavi shot the blue-haired exorcist a warning look.
Promise her you won't tell.
Kanda looked away as he glowered. Che, like I care…
"You don't have to worry, Yuu won't tell!" Lavi patted Tsuna's head to reassure her, ignoring the dark aura growing behind him.
"The three of you finally arrived! We were all worried!" Lenalee exclaimed as Lavi, Kanda and Tsuna reached the lobby.
-lOBby-
Reborn was there with there, his expression hidden under his fedora as usual. However, Tsuna could still feel the self-claimed tutor staring at her.
'He's so scary…' Tsuna thought as she tried to avoid the tutor's cold stare.
"Okay, let's go to the diner for dinner!" Allen said cheerfully before rushing towards the diner.
"Hello, how can I help you?" the waiter that served the exorcists in the morning greeted them.
"Hello, Yamamoto! Can I have a …" Allen started ordering a long list of food as the waiter quickly jotted down the orders.
"I want some black coffee."
"Please get some spaghetti for us."
"Get soba for me."
"I…" Tsuna has no idea what to get for dinner. After all the battling, she felt very hungry but…
"Let's get some pasta and coffee for Tsuna." Lavi suggested as Tsuna beamed at the thought of thick coffee and sweet pasta. She looked gratefully at Lavi, as pastas and coffee were her favourites since young, especially when she was down.
Since when did Lavi know Tsuna so well? Lenalee and Allen exchanged a curious look.
As Yamamoto busied himself with their orders, the exorcists started make plans for the next day.
"I found a lead to the innocence I heard from the residents here that there were some strange activities going on at the wishing fountain in the Sole park recently." Manto said.
The others agreed that they would all go check out the park the next day before Yamamoto came with their dinners.
Reborn stared at Tsuna warily as he sipped his bitter coffee.
He looks weak and useless…yet he could produce such large amount of energy. Maybe I should start training him…he still can't control his bloodlines…yet.

Midnight
It was midnight and Kanda was practicing with his Mugen (don't ask me where) when he heard a soft tapping sound.
Tap, tap, and tap.
Kanda hid in the shadows and peeked out to see who was there. His eyes narrowed when he made out a familiar figure. It was Tsuna.
Why is she here?
The said girl smiled to herself and sighed, "Night air is so fresh…" when she suddenly stiffened.
"Ah…it hurts…" Kanda hurried to Tsuna's side as he attempted to find out what was wrong with Tsuna.
"It's no use, he can't control his bloodline." Kanda snapped his head to the deep voice's owner and growled. What bloodline is he talking about? Is it the Vongola bloodline?
Reborn smirked and kneeled down beside Tsuna, completely ignoring the blue-haired exorcist.
"You don't have to know what it is." The tutor continued, reading Kanda's mind.
Reborn waved Kanda off and said," Off you go, as Tsuna's tutor, I am to guide and teach him. We need to be alone for training now."
Kanda kept his face expressionless as he considered Reborn's words. Right now, only Lavi and he know that Tsuna was a girl, what if that distrustful tutor found out…further more; they were going to be all alone!
"I will stay." Kanda mumbled before finding a spot to sit and watch them silently. Reborn snickered when he saw Kanda's determined look and turned his attention back to his new student.
"Breathe in and out slowly, Dame-Tsuna." Tsuna looked up sharply at the familiar nick name she had. How did he know?
I know everything…
Tsuna followed Reborn's instructions and felt better.
As she meditated with Reborn, Kanda placed a hand under his chin and watched. He could see some changes in Tsuna, especially her eye and hair colour. The brown hair of the exorcists had a tint of orange-red in them and the colour grew stronger and darker every time Tsuna took a long, slow breath.
Kanda could understand the orange tint in Tsuna's hair, but could not figure out the red colour.
However, there was one thing that the swordsman was sure-something was not right. It was as if that mysterious Reborn was plotting something dangerous…
-neXtdaY-
"Hey, Tsuna, did you sleep well?" Lavi called out as he spotted Tsuna walking towards him. Both of them stood at the lobby as they waited for the others.
"Yeah, please don't worry, I slept very well last night, it was all thanks to…" Tsuna trailed off, suddenly feeling hungry. Where were the others? They were all too slow…
-eArlANDreBorN-
"Morning, did you sleep well, Earl?" Reborn greeted as he sipped his black coffee.
"Of course, because Tsunayoshi is getting closer and closer to our side…We shall go meet him tonight!" Reborn smiled evilly and walked back into the Black Ark after hearing the reply.
Of course, after all, I'm one of the best tutors…
