It's Kinda Funny

Reborn

It's kinda funny, I mean it is Reborn and it is Italian...

"Damn…"

You cursed breathlessly from your hiding spot behind the wall as you looked back to view the black suited mafia hitman looking around, gun in hand, with his fedora placed as ever on top of his impossibly spiky black hair while the thick gray smoke flowed out of the ajar door behind him. Oh this was so not working out how you had planned.

Why does he always have to be so good?

….

Once outside you panted slightly, hands leaning over on top of the cool stone wall as the frigid night wind blew over your bare arms causing you to shiver as your rapidly drying sweat caused you to drop several degrees in body temperature and shiver continuously even as you continued to pant into the quiet night's air.

"So~" a quiet voice purred into your ear and you absolutely froze in place, "is this what you do on your free nights?"

Uh Oh.

You wheeled around so that your middle back and sweaty hands were now pressed to the rim of the cool stone wall and you found yourself looking straight into cunning black eyes. To call them coal black would have been an insult; they were so much deeper than that. Like pools of liquid onyx so deep they could drown a person in their smooth depths simply by meeting the tall, elegant hitman's gaze, and they wouldn't even mind the sensation.

Fortunately, you were a very good swimmer.

"Hmm~" he hummed moving closer to stand in front of you, leaving barely any space. Why did have to be so tall? "That wasn't very nice what you pulled earlier," he continued to drawl no, ooze out in that low seductive baritone that he knew was quite capable of working its wonders to have most women completely under his power in the bare moments of first hearing it.

Fortunately, you weren't most women.

You smiled innocently back up at him, tilting your head to the side in a picture of perfect innocence that you knew would barely delay him in the slightest, "Pulled what?"

His left hand met the stone wall to your right as he leaned in farther, dipping his head over yours, his right hand tucked leisurely in his pocket and the characteristic smirk apparent on his handsome, chiseled face.

"Oh, I think you know" he continued to croon out in his deep Italian baritone and you noticed a fair amount of gray ash smothered over the back of his suit as he bent in closer to you. Now it was your turn to smirk. Grinning, you crossed you arms and leaned back comfortably against the stone wall with something of a smug expression adorning your face.

"So~" this time it was your turn to draw out the syllables in your words as you smirked up at the cat like hitman leaning above you. "You almost couldn't dodge it this time could you?"

Reborn's immaculate smirk didn't change, but you felt the slightest of winces in his demeanor. Ah, so you had nearly heard your mark then.

The tall hitman leaned ever forwards, his face and smirk immaculate, "your getting better," he hummed directly into your ear, "but your not quite that good yet."

"Oh?" you hummed back cheerily, "That's not what all that ash and soot on the back of you suit is saying to me."

Reborn just kept smirking as his lips brushed your ear "Well it's a good thing ash can't talk then, now isn't it?"

"Maybe," you replied as his lips continued to brush against you ear, "But then again I suppose it's a good thing I can still understand the soot."

You felt the man's sly mouth twist against your cheek and then his lips suddenly smashed against yours. Your eyes widened. That was new.

His lips moved against your for several moments before he pulled away, a broad smirk on his lips in the cold night wind.

"That's my prize seeing as you didn't win this round." He pulled away from you slowly and in control as his right hand slipped away from its tight grip on your jaw, which you assume had arrived there right after he had initiated the kiss. You kept your position leaning against the low cold wall as you watched the tall elegant man striding away, every step filled with the feline grace it seemed impossible for any other being on this earth to possess.

Once the handsome black suited Italian had moved far enough away, his bright trademark ribbon wrapped fedora gliding through the distance, you finally allowed yourself to slump against the stonework.

"Oh why…" you murmured to yourself as you watch the man receding into the darkness of the clear star filled night.

'Why does he always have to be so good?'

…

You smirked in your hiding spot behind the wall as you looked back to view the pissed black suited mafia hitman looking around, gun in hand, with his fedora placed as ever on top of his impossibly spiky black hair. Oh this was so working out even better than how you had planned.

You continued to smirk as you exited your hiding place; no reason to be hiding now.

"Well Reborn," you started as you eyed the scowling baby from head to toe taking in his entire appearance, including the mess of spaghetti noodles flowing over his prized hat and the generous heaping of spaghetti sauce splattered and running smothered down his left shoulder and back. "So, you couldn't dodge fast enough this time?"

"[Name]" He growled out in his new voice, glaring up at you from under his fedora while you simply smirked back down at him in return.

"I do believe that I win this round," you commented cheerfully, smile still etched across you face as you practically sang out the 'good news'. However, you never failed to notice his body stiffen slightly under you words.

"Now," you continued, "for my reward…"

Before he could react you zoomed down, lifted his fedora, and landed a soft kiss on the baby hitman's cheek. There was a pause before slowly, after a moment, you pulled away, and then grinned cheekily at him.

"That's my reward." You remarked as you straightened, taking the infant hitman's fedora with you and shaking the spaghetti noodles off as you walked towards the doorway. Before you reached it you turned back and tugged the fedora over your own head, winking mischievously as you used his fedora to shade your eyes as Reborn had done before you so many times in the past.

"Don't worry," you grinned, "our game's nowhere near over, I still have plenty of times to pay you back for." And with a flick of your wrist you sent the fedora spinning back across the room to settle perfectly over the baby's spiky haired head as you turned and strode out the doorway, still grinning to yourself in satisfaction.

"[Name]" you didn't hear him murmur as he watched your back retreating from him down the hallway of the Sawada household as you walked along, humming to yourself happily.

"Why…" he murmured to himself as he still watched your back as you continued to proceed towards the end of the hallway.

'Why does she always have to be so good?'

Okay, so I'm kind of annoyed because, to me at least, this one seems to have kind of a sad ending...and it's not supposed to. Oh well... Ah, just in case it caused any confusion; the first part of the story takes place in Italy before Reborn was put under the curse and then the second part(with the spaghetti sauce) takes place after Reborn has been put under the curse and is tutoring Tsuna in Japan. That's why the descriptions go from tall to infant in the two different parts.
