New one, reckon going with random.
Oh, gee, great, another one to humor Reborn with, what's gotten into me these days? Hahaha!
Wait, that didn't sounded right just now.
Well, for me, he's one of the few whom I like to experiment in the humor situation... I'm going smut soon. Remind me as of to continue the 'Spiderwick Affairs' when college starts so I could have juicy ideas.
I don't want to pass this one out... The Wanya/ArtemisXReborn Battle had made me going. Round 2, FIGHT!
Please Review your thoughts and suggestions, thank you.
LOOK
"It's okay that I don't know the things that I still don't know!
Hey, did you say you lost something? You don't need stuff like that!
The truth is, I want to be scolded a bit, all those things are important
The things I've always wanted to do, I can do now!
Some of it is heavy, but my heart can carry it all!"

Scratching the nape of her neck with the tip of her pen, the blonde-haired Physicist- by occupation and work expertise- groaned at her own work, slightly envious to the other people present who are somehow enjoying themselves with whatever they are doing. Sure, she manage to find a way to help the Acrobaleno break their curse (and, frankly, she mostly done the thinking) but the fact that she, too, is also back to her original body means that she have to act like an adult again.
Peachy...
Honestly, she enjoyed being in a child's body, seeing how she can surprise people to a fact that a adorable little tyke like her can actually spurt out scientific quantum expression with just a mere flick of a hand. But, then again, she rather not makes herself more known since it would be weird if all babies have that ability.
And that one actually came from the current boss of Vongola Family, Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"Gee," The older female murmured, already missing her life as a 'child'. "I wonder how Sora-chan doing these days?" Thinking about her old 'babysitter' who had found her one faithful day ten years ago when she was being chased by dogs, one couldn't help that a spunky yet care-free young girl she was staying at for the duration of her time actually became one of the most prominent fighters of the Vongola, which she had a hutch it was due to her involvement with the mafia thanks to Tsuna. "Prolly in another mission, I suppose," She added, leaning onto the table while tapping it with her pen. Another sigh escaped her lips before scribbling something onto the paper as she looked at it and gave another scrunched look on her face.
"I didn't know you're having a hard time solving such an easy equation, Artemis." Said the familiar smooth and suave voice as another sigh escaped the blonde-haired female. "And here I am, decided to give you a courtesy visit, thinking that you must be finish with your work- as usual- earlier than expected." Leaning his back onto the wall, the fedora-wearing hitman smirked at the sight in amusement, arms crossed and waiting for the usual banter from the other side.
"It's actually my grocery list I'm doing, if that's what you mean, Reborn." Artemis replied, turning around from her seat to face the said hitman with her stern facade. "Work's already finished and, besides, my necessities needed refilling. Although doing groceries, as I learn back then, end up as a troublesome chore." Shaking her head, she removed her glasses (revealing her sea-green optics) as she rubbed the temples on her forehead and noticed the amused chuckle emitting from the male. "What is it now?"
"Strange," Reborn commented, shaking his head in disbelief. "I never see the day that someone who has the brains of a supercomputer would actually bother with listing down what to buy!" Another chuckle from him (which earned him a glare from her). "But I suppose I could help you since I don't even have anything to do back and Dame-Tsuna doesn't give any missions as of late."
She didn't know if she would take the offer as a joke or not, but visualizing Reborn- the GREAT Hitman Reborn- doing the groceries must be pretty funny (and unusual) for her turn to laugh. "Lovely," Artemis replied with a smile. "Trust me, if Tuna sees you actually doing the groceries, he'll be thinking that the world is finally coming to an end and that is something we don't want to see if we are to die like old faggots." By Tuna she meant Tsuna, and by that statement, as the male could interpret as much as he can without trying to lose composure, would mean 'If it gives me a chance to laugh at your awkwardness that you'll be going out with me for a shopping, then be my guest'. Yep, somehow he only knows one woman in his life that can actually put a different meaning in her statement, and most of them about him.
Nice job, Artemis, nice job.

In the end, Reborn actually ended up in a grocery supermarket, wearing casuals (Nobody really took notice that this casual-wearing guy is actually the known hitman for some reason), and assisting the female as she hold a paper in one hand and while using the other to pick the can of sardines without even much looking. The male was told (forced, more like it) to hold the cart basket as she placed the sardines right next to two cartons of milk.
"Artemis," Reborn cleared his throat, eying the female who was doing the shopping. "You're aware of the brands, right?"
"What brands?"
He should have listened to Verde a long time ago and just told the female straight to the point to hire a maid. God, she knows the basic components in making antimatter and, yet, she doesn't have a clue on which brand is better than the other!
Knowing that arguing at this situation is futile- or, at least, with this kind of situation- Reborn chose to just helps her with the shopping and prays that it will be over soon without her humiliating that a can of sardines is different from a can of tuna flakes.
"What? I heard sardines taste great with bread, right?"
How the hell does she eat in her own laboratory, anyway?

"Reborn? I think I forgot to buy some detergent soaps."
Shuffling through the grocery, the raven-haired Mafioso could not believe that, after all the trouble he had gone through just to help the female (brainiac) out with her shopping -even going as far as teaching her the difference between a dish washing soap and a bath soap and which ones to buy- she had forgotten to buy the detergent soap.
"Artemis," Reborn coughed as he sat down onto the stool and watched the slightly-frantic female search for the said item. "Are you sure you didn't just misplace it somewhere?" Eying at the three plastic bags before him, he groaned as no reply came from the female. "Just buy some in the convenient store later... or, better, just dump your dirty clothes onto the local laundry house and just come back for it when it's done!" Obviously, he was irritated and couldn't wait to leave the house without worrying about this little dilemma.
How the hell did he end up like this?
"And mix up my garments?" Without looking, Artemis replied back a little bit too offhandedly. "Trust me, from experience back in the Ichimoku residence, I rather not." He was annoyed at this, but he rather not asks about her lifestyle back when she was still in her child form, whatever happened to her at that time.
"Artemis?"
"Hm?"
Silence.
"If you're going to get married and lay it down someday, make sure you hire someone who is capable of doing household chores and all the stuff women are suppose to do."
"Was that an insult, Reborn?"
"It was a suggestion."
"That you want to be my husband?"
That didn't turn out quite as planned, the hitman thought in bewilderment, though his facade shows only nonchalance.
"I take that as a 'Shut up and marry me'."
Another silence.
"Artemis," He cleared his throat, eying at the female. "Just look for the detergent."
"Yes, hubby."
Argh, he needed a vacation! And Fast!
When I say random, I mean 'Random'. And 'Hubby' is short for 'Husband', something I heard from my friends and some people. And, no, Artemis (Wanya) and Reborn are NOT married.... it's just her way of taunting him. I somehow made Reborn OOC... but I wondered how the hell they do groceries or how majority of the Acrobaleno cook and do normal stuff humans do (like shopping, cooking, etc.) so I came up with this. *cough*
And, at some point, at least we know Reborn can be irritated or be irked by such things! He's human, anyway. A Acrobaleno, yes, but still human.
Oh, another note; Wanya is Artemis. If you read the 'Pre-Parade' drabble, you'll understand that Wanya is Artemis' 'alias' when she was in her child-form... otherwise, that's it.
The song is 'LOOK' by HALCALI from the anime 'Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z'. I don't own Reborn, the characters, and the song; only the story, my own characters and my excuse for relief. *shakes head* Heaven knows I need to get a life somehow. Haha...
*cough*
