Sorry for the wait guys but this chapter was a bit boring to write so i kept getting distracted by anime and Ridiculousness (get it *winks*) . Urrghh I hate introductions. but anyway on with the story. Minna, ENJOY!

DISCLAIMER! KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN BELONGS TO AMANO AKIRA! NOT ME! NO MATTER HOW MUCH I WISH IT...


"What?" Gokudera replied calmly, though on the outside. She was slightly shocked at the mention of the name to her but immediately got over it.

"The Red Tiger, your code name, is it not?"

"And how did you figure that out?" She asked quite amused.

"You not denying it?" Reborn, the same.

"What's the point in denying something from the number one hitman, Reborn, which he already knows?." Now, Reborn was starting to have fun.

"And how did you figure that out? Is it an assassin's luck of theory or just the number one's?" Gokudera was obviously enjoying this as well.

"Reborn, the number one hitman feared and known in the mafia. It's quite easy to percieve you, especially with that outfit."

"I'd expect nothing less from the number one assassin, 'The Red Tiger'." He said. "But from then to now, you must be quite skilled past my expectations." Gokudera's smile faded.

"Then?" She inquired.

"Even though you were two months old into The Red Tiger." He smirked wider seeing Gokudera's seriousness. "Two months after you became The Red Tiger, you had an assassination mission, right? After it was completed, there was a flaw in your disguise and you were revealed though as fast as it dropped you fixed it so even if there was someone who saw you, they wouldn't have noticed. But there was one who's eyes were on you and it was obvious you weren't taking any chances, so you killed him and searched him but what you didn't search was his underwear. There held a video recorder. I found it after taking a little 'stroll'."

Her smile returned. "I'd expect nothing less from the world's number one's hitman." But she was curious on how he knew she was in her second month as The Red Tiger. She had the male appearance on so he wouldn't be able to figure it out. If her female self was shown then she could've understood since he could've gotten information but it wasn't.

They both stopped talking when they felt a presence or two coming from about seven feet away. Yamamoto walked in then Tsuna, holding what they were told to bring.

Yamamoto gave a glass to Gokudera; who rejected it, Reborn; who accepted it and Tsuna; who also accepted. Then he took one for himself and left Gokudera's on the table in front of her.

"Here." Tsuna said as he placed the books on the table in Reborn's view.

"Hn, You did all." Reborn commented as he filed through the papers and books in a speedy fashion. "But they're wrong." He smirked again.

"All of them?" Tsuna asked in disbelief.

"No. Only the ones that you did."

"You don't have to be sarcastic." But his smirk only grew wider.

'Giving such a fragile boy so much work is much cruelty.' Gokudera voiced in her mind. There were about a stack of papers and five books on the table, claimed as 'homework'. "I will be taking my leave now." She said and got up not wanting to be there any longer.

"Eh? You're leaving already? Didn't you just get here?" Tsuna asked from re-doing everything in a sixth book.

As Gokudera was about to reply, Reborn interrupted. "Why don't you help dame-Tsuna with his work. You might be able to get through to him." Gokudera looked down to Tsuna's working and question sheet and saw all literally wrong. She was shocked to see someone fail Coordinates but of course, didn't show it. "Well?"

"You don't have to." Tsuna stuck in.

Gokudera thought it over. "Sure."

"Isn't that great Tsuna? All the teachers said Gokudera's super smart." Yamamoto said.

"Really?" Tsuna asked.

Reborn replied with a nod of his head. "That's amazing!" Tsuna exclaimed with an impressed smile on his face. Gokudera was well.. fighting her inner self from hugging the boy to death.

"Then, tell me where you are." Gokudera said as she sat back down onto the couch. Tsuna handed her a question sheet and told her the number of the question.

"Can you see it with those?" Tsuna asked pointing to her eyes. Gokudera just nodded her head worked out the answer for him, explaining it to him in the process and getting a 'ohh' from him a few times. She told him to do another to check his understanding and when she said he got it right, he jumped up with a 'Yes!'. Oh how annoying her inner self can be.

When she was about to do another for him, she felt a presence, no actually three coming closer to the door. For safety measures, she glanced at Reborn from the side where she was given a 'nevermind it' signal from him when he waved his hand to the side.

Twenty seconds later, the door opened and closed and was followed by a 'I'm back!' and a response of 'Welcome Home' from the kitchen. She then realized one of them speeding to here and when they were at the door's frame, she saw a seven year old in a cow-printed jump-suit, an afro and horns on either side of his head. But as he came in, he shouted.

"LAMBO-SAN HAS ARRIVED!" Gokudera's eye twitched. She saw him once before when she was on a mission for the Bovino family. Though he was probably either three or four.

"Oo, Lambo. Have fun in school today?" Yamamoto asked the seven-year-old.

'Annoyances stick together of course.' She thought when Yamamoto greeted the cow child.

"Great! Sensei gave out candies after lunch today! And we played a bunch of word games" Lambo replied.

"Sounds like you had fun." Tsuna jumped in.

'Not you too, Tsuna-kun' Gokudera's inner self pleaded.

"Yup! But Sensei got mad when I took more candy and I didn't get any more."

"That's not good Lambo. You need to ask before taking." She saw a thirteen year old with yellow-brown hair walk in, scolding Lambo and a seven year old, Chinese girl in red next to him. She recognized the yellow-brown haired boy as 'The Ranking Prince, Fuuta'. "Eh? Who's this?"

"Oh, sorry Gokudera-kun for not introducing you earlier. Gokudera-kun, this is Lambo Bovino, Fuuta de la Stella and I-pin. Guys this is Gokudera Hayato, Yamamoto's friend."

Her eye twicthed again at the mention of Yamamoto's 'friend'. But he is 'The Ranking Prince'. Then why is he here? She remembered something about an escape he made from some mafiosi trying to get their hands on his book. She was called in for a mission to capture and bring him back to Italy even if violence was necessary but she refused because of her.. well.. baby addiction, you can call it? Though the man had an eager death bed. After Gokudera refused, he had the nerve to insult and fight her. But she didn't lift a finger to him, just shot him straight on, killed the rest of his guards and associates and left though she realized before he requested her, he dispatched a number of his guards to him. They were a small family so not much people knew of them.

She just let it go knowing that whatever methods they have of capturing the boy, they can't kill him or the book will disappear with him and when they're back here, they'll have nothing or no one to order them what to do which is their purpose. The worst they can do is try to form their own family with the ranking book but even with it they have no specialities or background to help them. And from their personality, they won't disband an order even if the giver is gone. So it's was easy to tell they won't kill him since that was part of it.

While Fuuta and I-pin bowed in greeting, Lambo was another story. "That coco-head didn't take my candy right?" He said pointing to Gokudera who was doing her best to hold herself back from letting that cow brat experience an eternal slumber.

"Lambo!" Tsuna, Fuuta and I-pin exclaimed. "Apologize." Tsuna said.

"For what? Lambo-san didn't do anything wrong."

"You shouldn't call guests names." Fuuta scolded again.

"But he looks like a coconut. So I made it short and now he's coco-head."

Tsuna apologized to Gokudera on Lambo's behalf, while Gokudera's outer self said never-mind and inner screamed at how cute Tsuna looked apologizing like a little gentleman. "I'll be going now." She said. "I have some errands to run." Which wasn't really a lie. She had to buy dinner after all.

"Why don't you stop by tomorrow and you can help me as well." Yamamoto asked. Right when she was about to reject, Tsuna spoke up.

"That'd be great!" Gokudera, finding it hard to refuse Tsuna's happy look, nodded and left.

She walked down the street to her house with her hand pinching the bridge of her nose. "What the hell happened today?"
