Must. Not. Kill. Child. Must. Resist…!

While I was fighting my urges to harm and potentially kill the suit-clad infant who may have killed my best friend and who could most likely kill me with his gun, I didn't notice that Tsuna's still body had begun glowing for a bit and the light receded almost immediately.

"You might want to see this," Reborn-san warned.

See? See what? Hm? Ah! Tsuna's body just moved! H-he's alive?

"REEEEBOOORN!"

E-EH? D-did Tsuna just burst out of his clothes?

"CONFESS TO SASAGAWA KYOKO WITH MY DYING WILL!" Aaand he ran off kicking up a bunch of dust. In his boxers…

IN HIS BOXERS?

On the ground in front of me was Tsuna's torn up uniform. Ohhh dear…Uh, let's see, I'm pretty sure I have enough to buy a new uniform for Tsuna from the student store…G-Gah!

"Reborn-san!" I shouted as I was running in the direction Tsuna went, "Wh-what did you do?"

He smirked once more from his position on my shoulder, "I'll explain once everything's calmed down, focus on getting to school."

I sighed.


Oh no, I got here too late…

In front of the school was Tsuna and Sasagawa-san surrounded by the other students. They looked on in mixed horror and extreme amusement.

"SASAGAWA KYOKO! PLEASE BE MY GIRLFRIEND!" Tsuna shouted.

And as anyone would do in Sasagawa-san's position, she screamed and ran away, her friend following behind her, throwing poor Tsuna a deadly glare over her shoulder.

I think her name was…Kurokawa Hana?

Whatever, it seems Tsuna's back to normal again. But he's still in his boxers…

"E-eh? Wh-what was that?" Tsuna shouted, grasping at his hair. The remaining students were all laughing and throwing sarcastic and rather rude comments at my best friend.

"What a freak!"

Eh? Oh, it wasn't directed at me. Hey, wait a second! I'm supposed to the freak, not Tsuna!

I turned around to look at the person who shouted that but the front gate was eerily empty…Uh oh, the bell rang didn't it?

Tsuna was still pulling at his hair but was now crying over about how much of an idiot he looked like and how embarrassing it was. Poor Tsuna. But now we have to get to class before Hibari-san comes to 'bite us to death'.

"Herbivores."

Tsuna and I froze. Too late.

Hibari Kyoya was standing right in front of us, his black Nami Middle blazer fluttering ominously on his shoulders.

I think part of my soul just died.

"You're both late," he said lowly bringing out his infamous solid steel tonfas, "I'll bite the both of you to death."

I had to swallow the loud shriek that was about to burst out of my throat. Tsuna didn't hold back though.

"HIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!"

He has a very strong pair of lungs.

Hibari-sempai narrowed his eyes in response.

…Well, there goes the rest of my soul. Goodbye soul! We had a good fourteen year run!

Hm?

I looked around and saw the windows of the school hallways passing by in a nauseating blur. Huh, I didn't know Tsuna could run this fast. He was actually pulling me along while looking for the student store. Oh, so that's why my arm feels like its being pulled out of its socket.


After school, Tsuna and I were hanging out at his house going over what happened today. With him being his usual spastic self, and me trying to calm him down.

We were in his room with Reborn-san. I never thought I'd be so scared of a baby before…

I feel like fainting right now.

A-Anyway, putting my weak constitutions aside, Tsuna was hunched over and groaning about how embarrassing today was.

"Aaaaaaagh!" Tsuna cried, tears prickling at his eyelids, "I can't believe that happened, and right in front of Kyoko-chan too!" He let out another heartbreaking groan before slumping backward and landing on the carpet. I sighed and gently patted the little sliver of stomach revealed when he fell back.

"I'm sure everything will be fine, Tsuna," I said, forcing a smile to break through my face that was frozen by fear because of the devil ba…I-I mean…Reborn-san.

Tsuna stared at me with teary eyes in disbelief, "How will it be fine! I committed one of the biggest acts of social suicide ever!" He put his hands on his face and slowly dragged them down, smearing his tears along his cheeks on the way.

Poor Tsuna, I really wish I could do something more for him. And I doubt ice cream will help calm him down.

"Heh," Reborn-san chuckled. Ah, he speaks, "You should be lucky you're still alive."

Of course Tsuna should feel lucky. He was only SHOT IN THE HEAD.

Tsuna scowled as he looked towards Reborn-san, "What was that thing anyway! Was it seriously a bullet!"

The tiny tutor smirked and held up a small shiny bullet, which compared to his hand kind of looked big, "This is called a 'Dying Will Bullet'."

I gave the bullet a closer look, "A 'Dying Will' bullet?"

Reborn-san nodded, "Anyone shot in the head with this will face death and be flooded with regrets of what he failed to accomplish."

Tsuna and I reeled back in shock, 'That sounds horrible!' We thought.

Reborn-san continued, "The bullet brings you back with enough power to achieve that one regret."

"A-and if I didn't have any regrets?" Tsuna asked warily.

"Well I AM an assassin," Reborn-san replied, and rather bluntly at that.

"You mean I/he would've DIED!" Tsuna and I shouted.

"Why do you think I said you were lucky?"

"Ugh…" Tsuna groaned again, "But I didn't want to confess to Kyoko-chan like thaaaaaat!"

"You wanted to confess to her before you died, so that's what you did."

Tsuna shot up and grabbed Reborn-san by the collar of his small suit, "Sh-shut up!"

I think I might've blinked at this point because the next thing I knew, Tsuna was flipped over and flinching in pain. Oh dear, I'm feeling faint. But I helped Tsuna sit up anyway, dizzy as I was.

"Wh-what is this 'Dying Will' bullet? How come we've never heard of it?" I asked, my voice was shaky.

Reborn-san stood up straight, looking straight at me and Tsuna as we sat cross-legged on the floor, "The 'Dying Will' bullet is a secret passed down through the Vongola Family."

"'Vongola Family'?" We repeated. Reborn-san nodded.

"I was hired by my boss the Vongola Ninth to train you into becoming a mafia boss."

"Gah, why am I just buying this crazy story!" Tsuna yelled. I rubbed his shoulder to calm him down. Reborn-san ignored him.

"The Ninth is getting on in age so he wants to find a suitable successor for the Tenth Generation," Reborn-san took out three photos, "Unfortuantely, Enrico, the leading candidate was shot and killed in a gunfight-"

"HIIIEEEE!"

The picture Reborn-san held up was of a young man lying on a cobblestone street with a bullet hole through the head and a bloody puddle forming beneath him. This was already too much for me and I ended up going into shock and passing out on Tsuna's floor…again.

I have a feeling I'm going to be fainting a lot more than I usually do now…
