Present Day

Smirking, Reborn stood and approached Tsuna. Leaning down and looking into Tsuna's eyes, Reborn asked, "Sawada Tsunayoshi, as the man of this house, I ask your permission to court Sawada Nana with the intention of marriage."

Stunned, both by the statement as well as the nearness of the other, Tsuna fell back onto his butt. "HIEEE!"

Observing the interaction in front of her, Nana spoke, "Ren-kun, w-what do you m-mean?"

Straightening, Reborn stood and walked towards Nana. Stopping in front of her, he reached out and took her hand. Looking into her eyes, Reborn slowly brought the back of her hand to his lips. Lightly kissing it he stated, "Nana-chan, it has been 20 years since I lost you. Now that you are free, I will win you back."

Blushing, Nana pulled her hand from Reborn's grasp to place it over her heart. "Ren-kun," she whispered as she turned away.

Smirking, Reborn turned to Tsuna, who was still sitting on the floor. "Dame-Tsuna, I will return for your answer tomorrow."

Adjusting the fedora on his head, Reborn left.

Now that Reborn had expressed his intentions to marry Nana, he set to achieve the second part of his plan. He would get her back, no matter who he had to kill.

Reborn knew what he had to do next. He needed a matchmaker. The only flaw in the plan was who?

'Dino? No, he's too klutzy.

Romario? He wouldn't leave Dino for that long.

Bianchi? That would be bad…

Dr. Shamal? Not even going to think about it *mental shiver*

Any of the Varia? No patience.

Fuuta? Too young.

Lal Mirch? …

Colonello? Maggots…

Viper? No.

Skull? Heck no.

Verde? Hell no!

Fon? …

Nono? Step three, his permission.'

Sighing inwardly, Reborn made his decision. 'Time to get it over with.'

Meanwhile, Tsuna was still on his butt. "Mom? Who was that?"

Feigning ignorance, Nana began cooking. "Tsu-kun, wash up for lunch."

Standing up and adjusting his favorite clothes, tan khakis with an orange and white hoodie, Tsuna moved into the kitchen. "Mom? Who was that?" Tsuna whined.

Crash. The door flew open to reveal a motley crew of hungry mafiosos.

"Mama! Lambo want lunch." The 5-year old cow-print dressed boy called as he ran into the kitchen.

"I-Pin, too." A small Chinese girl in a red and black kung-fu suit ran after Lambo.

Bianchi and Fuuta followed sedately behind the two youngsters. Their outfits almost matching, as Fuuta was in his usual green sweater and blue jeans while Bianchi was in a pair of black skinny jeans with a skin-tight green tank top.

"Mama, do you need any help?" Bianchi asked as she began setting the table. Noticing the espresso cup, she continued, "Was Reborn here?"

Crash. Tsuna fell to the floor as he tripped over the chair he was about to sit in. "HIEEE!" Tsuna's Hyper Intuition was bugging him, but he still didn't know why.

"No, Bianchi. An old friend made a house call." Tsuna's ears perked, but his mom did not continue speaking.

Arranging lunch on the table, Nana couldn't stop thinking about Rebboku Ren. She hadn't seen him since the day she married Iemitsu. Fighting back tears at the thought of her late husband, Nana returned to the sink to finish her interrupted dishes.

Tsuna only stared at the food in front of him. His hyper intuition was telling him something big was happening. He just couldn't figure it out.

That evening as Tsuna was getting ready for bed, he realized that he went a whole day without Reborn…

Pow! A tiny foot hit Tsuna's left temple, sending him sprawling onto his bed.

"Dame-Tsuna, were you thinking? You should leave that up to the professionals."

Tsuna glared at Reborn. Something was nagging at him and his Hyper Intuition… Something about Reborn.

Answers to questions/comments:

(1) Iemitsu died due to the wounds he received from Vindice while protecting Nana. Since he did not stay in the hospital, because he didn't want Tsuna and Nana to worry, his wounds weren't given time to properly heal. As he kept moving, stitches on his internal organs tore & he bled out internally.

(2) Who should be Nana and Reborn's matchmaker? Comment or PM
