animaniac-aizel012: Hello readers, and hello world!!! Finally, Chapter 5's updated. It's been a long time since I've updated this.

Sapphire: Aizel, it's been only 8 days. It can be considered a long time if it's around two to three months.

animaniac-aizel012: Hey, for me it's been forever!! School's really taken a lot out of me. Good news is that I got a lot of high scores in my tests. I was really nervous, I thought I was gonna get lower than an 80. Man, if I got that kind of score, I won't be able to use the computer for maybe a month. I CAN'T HANDLE THAT, YOU KNOW!!!!

Sapphire: Sheesh. I just said it was only eight days. I don't give a damn about your problems nor do I even care how you do in your school. My only concern right now is what I'm gonna eat later. I'm getting hungry.

animaniac-aizel012: Are food, sleep, and torture you care about?

Sapphire: … Yeah. Pretty much.

animaniac-aizel012: You're unbelievable. Let's just get on with this. I'm getting a major case of headache. Can you get me my aspirin?

Disclaimer: Aizel doesn't own anything in Katekyo Hitman Reborn. She only owns Yuuka.

Sawada Residence

********

It was already 1:30 am. in Namimori. The streets are already quiet. The streets lights glowed above the streets, one every twenty feet on both sides. Usually around this time everyone were already asleep. Well that is, except for a certain brunette. Unfortunately for Tsuna, he had to triple his homework as a punishment for bailing on his training with Reborn.

" Finally, I'm done. Now I can get some sleep." But before he could even lie down, he was almost shot by his own home tutor. " REBORN!! WHAT THE HELL DID I DO NOW?!? "

" Dame- Tsuna. You can't sleep just yet. Weren't you going to ask me something? "

" Ask you something? " Tsuna looked confused.

" For Pete's sake, about Yuuka's mom remember? How stupid can you get? … Wait don't answer. I already know " Tsuna just sweat dropped.

" Sorry. I almost forgot about that. Reborn why were you talking to Yuuka's mom, anyway? She isn't tied to the mafia."

" That's what you think." Reborn smirked.

" Wait a minute. You mean she's a Mafioso, too? How's that possible?"

" Too? Does that mean you finally agreed on being the next Vongola boss?"

" OF COURSE NOT!! THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL, I'M GONNA BE PART OF THE MAFIA!! "

" Alright alright. Let me start at the beginning. You see… "

^v^v^v^ Flashback ^v^v^v^

" But did you know the one who was nicknamed the Black Rose? " Reborn asked.

" The Black Rose? No I don't know anyone with that kind of name before."

" That's no surprise . The Black Rose usually completes her missions in secret. She was a very skilled assassin, who only serves under the Ninth. All of her missions were always perfect. She always makes sure to never leave a trace behind or leave an evidence on the target."

" Is that even possible? "

" Of course it is. She uses Death Dusts."

" Death Dusts?"

" It's a skill where you use colorless powder to kill a target. The powder sips into the target's bloodstream, so instead of killing that person outside, she kills him in the inside, so his subordinates might think he committed suicide. One of her favorites was the poison, because it was easier to make."

" Make? You mean to tell me that they were homemade?"

" Correct."

" And would you mind telling me how you knew about her? I mean you were the one who said she works in secret. Oh, and one more thing. What does she have to do with Yuuka?"

" The Black Rose, is Yuuka's mother. And I know her, because she's my ex- girlfriend."

" EEEEHH?!?! You're ex?"

" Dino, you're starting to act just like Tsuna now. And yes, she was my girlfriend. I met her when the Ninth gave us a mission in Paraguay." Reborn said before walking towards the door.

" Oi. Reborn, where are you going?"

" Isn't it obvious. I'm going to talk to her. I want to know why she suddenly disappeared eighteen years ago. Wanna come? "

" No thanks. My flight's in two hours. Tell Tsuna I said hi though." Dino said before leaving the house.

A few minutes later. Reborn arrived at the Shimizu Residence. He knocked on the door, and expected that Yuuka's mother will be the one to answer.

" Yes, who is it? Are? Reborn, is that really you? You haven't change a bit. Come inside I'll make you some tea." she smiled.

Once they were inside, she led Reborn to their kitchen. Somehow she knew what Reborn came for.

" Take a seat, Reborn ." He sat on the chair and looked at her. She had black short hair, blue eyes, and a warm smile. She was still the same, just like before.

" Here you go. A nice cup tea. Drink up."

" I'm not going to drink this."

" Why not? Don't you like what I make?"

" That's because you put poison in this drink." Reborn smirked.

" Hmmm? I guess you're skills haven't gone bad ever since I left." she smirked in return.

" Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Why did you left? You still have potential to be an assassin."

" I left because I got bored of being an assassin. That's why I tried to live a normal life in London with my daughter."

" Then why did you came here? I know that you know that the Tenth generation Vongola Boss lives here."

" I came here for two reasons, actually."

" And those are?"

" Well one: I want Yuuka to join the Vongola Family."

" And what makes you so sure she's good enough to be in Tsuna's Family?"

" Don't play dumb with me Reborn. I saw you and Yuuka yesterday. She dodged your shot, remember?"

" Fine. But tell me, does Yuuka know anything about the Mafia yet?"

" No. I want her to know about the Mafia without my help. Besides, she was the one who said she wanted adventure."

"Fine. I'll ask Tsuna to recruit Yuuka."

" Ask?"

" I mean I'll force Tsuna to recruit her, whether he likes it or not."

" Thank you."

" But…"

" What is it?"

" What's your second reason?"

" I'm sorry but I can't tell you that. It's a secret between me and the Ninth." her face changed to a dark one.

^v^v^v Flashback Ended ^v^v^v

" … And that's where you came in." Reborn finished.

" I didn't know Yuuka's mom was that strong."

" That's why tomorrow you will recruit Yuuka in your Family tom ask her as strong as her mom."

" T- Tomorrow?"

" Well actually later since it's already four am. It's a good thing I already slept. "

" … But I didn't."

Namimori School

********

It was lunch time, and a lot of Tsuna's male classmates were whispering something. Tsuna couldn't make out what they were saying, until Yamamoto and Gokudera walked towards him.

" Yo, Tsuna. Did you hear about today?" Yamamoto said.

" N-No. What's so special about today?"

" It's because today's the day when the girls give what they made at Home economics to the guys."

" Really?" Tsuna excitedly said.

' Maybe Kyoko- chan will give me one.' he thought. ' … But, do I like her or did I really just use her to be like the others?'

" Look the girls are here." one of the students said before the girls opened the door revealing lots of different colored cake.

" Here you go Tsuna- kun." Kyoko handed him a strawberry shortcake.

" A- Arigatou." Tsuna took a bite. But somehow he wasn't happy. He still feels depressed about what Yuuka said to him yesterday.

" Hmm? How about you Yuuka? Who are you going to give the cake to?" one of the girls said.

" Actually, I don't want to give this to anyone. I'm really sure that you wouldn't like it." Yuuka nervously said.

" How about you give it to Mochida. He might like it"

" N-No thanks."

" C'mon Yuuka-chan, please." Mochida said.

" Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you." she gave up and gave him the cake. But when Mochida took a bite, he fainted.

" I'm actually not really good at cooking. That's why I didn't want to give him that." she bowed apologetically at him.

" Wow. I guess little miss perfect, isn't so perfect after all." one of the obviously jealous girls teased. Yuuka felt her heart shatter.

" Hey. I bet you that she doesn't even know how to boil water." her classmates laughed except for Yamamoto, Gokudera, and Tsuna. Tsuna was actually very pissed off at what the others were saying at his friend.

" I- I forgot something in my locker. I'll be right back." Yuuka smiled bitterly and ran away from the classroom. She looked like she was about to cry.

" Yuuka! Wait. " Tsuna ran after her.

" What's this? Dame- Tsuna and her? They're perfect for each other. Both of them are failures." Gokudera snapped when he heard someone badmouthing at his boss. Fortunately for them, Yamamoto held back Gokudera from throwing dynamites at them.

The Rooftop

" Yuuka. You in here?"

" T- Tsuna, what are you doing here?" she wiped the tears from her eyes.

" I figured you were here, since this is a nice place for you to cry."

" C- Cry? What are you talking about? I wasn't … crying."

" Yuuka. Don't lie to me. I can still see the tears from your eyes."

" Fine. I was crying. They're right anyway. I'm a failure." Tsuna clenched his fist. He couldn't believe his friend was saying that about herself.

" You're not a failure. And you shouldn't listen to them. They're wrong. I think you're nice, smart, and really tough."

" Thanks Tsuna. That really helped a lot." she smiled.

" Oi, Tsuna. Isn't there anything else you need to talk to her about?" a voice suddenly popped out.

" R- Reborn!? Where did you came from."

" I used the door where else?" both of them sweat dropped.

" Ask her already. We don't have all day."

" But."

" No buts, Tsuna. Tell her already or else."

" Okay." Tsuna sighed. " Yuuka would you like to join my Family?"

" You're family? We aren't blood related. Are we?"

" No we're not. What I mean to say is, would you like to join the Mafia?"

" … No way."

" Okay then. I guess I better get back to class." Tsuna said.

" Wait. You didn't let me finish." she grabbed Tsuna's arm.

" Eh?"

" I was gonna say that there's no way I'm gonna be in the mafia … if it's just a game. But if it's real, count me in, Boss." she cheekily grinned.

" Are you serious? You want to be in my Family?"

" Of course. There's not much excitement around here, anyway."

" Now that that's settled. You two better go back. Lunch's almost over." Reborn smirked.

" C'mon Tsuna let's go. I'm feeling a little sleepy again. Good thing it's Math. I usually get 100 in that subject. So that means I can sleep through the whole lecture."

animaniac-aizel012: SAPPHIRE WHERE THE HECK ARE THOSE ASPIRINS?!

Sapphire: In the medicine cabinet where else.

animaniac-aizel012: THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU GAVE THEM TO ME??

Sapphire: You only asked me if I can get you those. I can, but I didn't say I will. I'm going to sleep now, so you better not wake me up.

animaniac-aizel012: She is such a pain in the neck. Well, read and review everyone. Until the next chapter.
