*Scratching the back of my head awkwardly* Sorry everyone I can't access my internet for a while, I could only access it through my phone. And I didn't reply to a few of your questions right?. Ahahaha sorry I thought it would be better if you get the answer in the story but . . . It haven't (-_-") I'm really seriously pitifully Sorry !
1. Is Reborn TYL?
A: Nope, he's just the present Reborn in his true form.
2. Will this be an R27 story?
A: I don't know yet. Since I write my story based on what popped to my head so, it could change one way or another.
Anyway, I'm so happy that you like the last chapter. Pheww . . . I thought it would be a boring one but, yeah! I love you all my reviewers thank you very much for Ayumi Suzuki, forever LuNa, Ayz283, Musica Famiglia, Guest, VenomRogue(Venna), cellphone-itis, 13animenurd13, Kichou, bunny217, BloodieReader. Wow I think I make Xanxus a totally badass here O.O I'll TRY to send him to hell later but it still based on my imagination, so I'm not sure yet. This maybe even end up with X27 as the main pairing. Please don't ditch this story just because of that. It's only a 'maybe'. I also don't want that OAO.
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR. If I am, Tsuna would be boasting his power and position to his classmate.
Oh! I almost forgot, I managed to make a little seme-ing scene. But unfortunately it was with Xanxus. Just go with the flow and ACTION!
Sorry. no more seme part :'(
But before Xanxus could do anything severe the door slammed open, revealing a severely pissed Hitman and a blond. The Hitman pulled out his gun.
"Don't you dare to do anything more"
Xanxus Tch-ed and stood up. "What ? She's my fiancé. I'm free to do anything to her"
Giotto advanced forward and punch him square in the face. "Not anymore. Nono had cancelled his offer." Xanxus growled while face palming to stop his bleeding nose. When he removes his hand he arched his eyebrow and seething.
"That old man"
"Re-Reborn . . . .Gio-tto . . ." The said person turned to the source of the whisper. They saw Tsuna lies on the floor crying and desperately reaching out for them. Giotto –who's closer to the brunette- catch her hand and fix her clothes properly. Reborn also walked to them. But, Xanxus pull Tsuna again from them.
"If that's the case then I'll force her to marry me" Giotto and Reborn immediately snapped. They divided the job. Giotto protect Tsuna while Reborn beat up Xanxus. Xanxus growled 'These guys are annoying' He thought. He put up a fight but fighting the greatest Hitman in the world that in a pissed state would be impossible. When Xanxus about to pull out his guns reborn kicked his hands and punch him in the gut. Xanxus took a few steps back while holding his stomach. He decides to retreat for now.
"I'll be her husband no matter what you guys do" Then he jumped out of the window. Reborn Tch-ed and then turned to Tsuna, a vein popped. Why? Since Tsuna is hugging Giotto and cried into his white shirt like her life depends on him. Giotto hug her back while blushing a deep red. Reborn kicked the blond on his side. Giotto squeaked. He could feel he had some broken ribs after that.
"What's that for?" he asked quite angry.
"Let go of her" Reborn said with an unconcealed murderous intent mixed in the voice.
Giotto smirked "Not so fast", Reborn growled. 'Damn, this blond idiot pisses me off. He really serious about it huh?'
~Flashback~
The discussion with Nono . . .
Giotto and Nono was dumbfounded. The Greatest Hitman in the world was just . . .Proposing?. Giotto -who somehow annoyed with the Hitman's proposal- stood up abruptly.
"No! She won't" He said, not fully comprehend what he did. This time Reborn and Nono raised an eyebrow.
"Why ? I could protect her, What's wrong with her becoming my wife ? " Asked the Hitman grumpily. Nono only stares at the two, he doesn't know what to do as the both start fighting for the brunette. Eh? What? Nono immediately stands between the two who already in a fighting pose.
"No, fighting you two!" He commanded. But, the two paid him no mind.
"She'll be marrying me!"Giotto said, still on reflex.
"Who are you to decide that? And I thought you only sees her like a little sister." Reborn retorted.
"I love her!"Giotto shouted, a second after that word rolling out of his tongue, realization dawned on him. He suddenly blushed furiously. "I-I love . . . Tsuna".
"So what if you love her?" Reborn asked, rolling eyes.
"Of course, I'll marry her to stop her from becoming Xanxus's wife!" Giotto said confidently.
"You're still young to marry, blond idiot." Giotto growled.
"Only a few months and I'll be eighteen "[1]
"Enough!" Nono shouted. The two turned to the furious Nono.
"Don't solve it with violence. Now sit and we'll negotiate about it" the two reluctantly obeyed and sit down. Nono sighed.
"Fine. About who Tsuna would marry with, I'll let her decide it" Right after Nono finished his word the two immediately glared at each other. On their face written 'I'll show you, she's mine!'. Nono sighed again.
"But" the two turned to Nono."I will only approve of the marriage if any of you could heal her phobia. Do you agree with my condition ?" The two stood up.
"Sure Nono!" they both said in a chorus then left hurriedly.
~Flashback End~
Reborn clicked his tongue again. He could read what Giotto said through his eyes. It said 'I got a score old man' A vein popped. 'Damn' and then he crouched beside the 'hugging' guys and then he poked Tsuna, identifying if she was still a live. Tsuna looked up.
"Reborn " is what she said and then she fainted.
Reborn tried to take her but Giotto immediately picked her up bridal-style and put her down on her bed. Reborn was cursing under his breath while Giotto smirked.
"Get out" Reborn said.
"yeah, yeah, you too" Giotto countered lazily. Reborn rolled his eyes in response. And the two finally went out of the room, of course, they make sure the window and the door was fully locked. Reborn even set security cameras for Tsuna, can't be too cautious can't they?.
The next morning, Giotto and Reborn could only stare at the wooden door that separate them from a certain brunette. They had tried many attempt to lure the brunette out of the room, only to be failed miserably. Reborn had even tried to sneak in through the window, but the brunette was rather a creative trapper. She connect the window sill to a cable that would electrocuted any intruders to death. But, this is Reborn, how could he beaten by a mere electricity? Simple. When he beat the electric and open the window he was caught off guard as his face met metal buckets. Giotto, had even suggested to break the door but he was stopped by Reborn.
"Why the hell should I listen to you? Is it because you failed?" Giotto said while glaring at the Hitman.
"No. It's better if we just give her time to herself." He said, not fazed by the glare and then silence engulfed them.
After a while of thinking the blond finally give in and left the brunette. Or that's what he thought at first. Now, the brunette had locked herself up almost three freakin' days!. He also notice the Hitman's concern for the brunette growing unbearable. So, the two decide to take Giotto's plan, by breaking in. When they do they saw Tsuna curled up in the corner of the bed shaking and her head rested on her knee.
She raised her head when the door suddenly slammed open revealing non other than Reborn and Giotto. Before the two could utter a word a trap she had prepared fall on them. A 'decent' mount of book fall from the ceiling . Tsuna had prepared it that it would fall if the door opened wide or slammed open, meaning if any intruders break in they would be buried by the book. That's what happened to Reborn and Giotto now. Their head poked out of the books.
"Tsu-Tsuna-chan! Why are you hiding for so long? I know what happened but, you haven't eat for days!" Giotto exclaimed, seemingly didn't care about his own state.
"Tch. Stop sulking already Dame-Tsuna" Reborn said snorted, it would sound like an insult if you didn't know Reborn, but these mean encouragement in Reborn's dictionary.
They turned they're heads up to saw Tsuna's reaction . Well . . . her reaction . . .
She just stare blankly at them. She didn't move an inch or even tried to talk. It was as if her soul had flown somewhere else. If you see closer her eyes seems like it had lost it light and she had some bags under her eyes, it also seemed red, maybe because crying. Her face also seemed paler than it usually is.
Reborn got up from the books and walked toward her. Giotto also got up –with difficulties- and when he's about to walk toward the two, Reborn gestured him to bring food for Tsuna. He reluctantly complied, 'Che, That old man why it have to be me?' but to just think it was for Tsuna, all the reluctance flew out of the window. He spiritedly warmed some food and then bring it upstairs.
When he arrived, he saw that Reborn haven't managed to wake the brunette yet. He walked in and put the food on the desk.
"How is it?" he asked. Reborn turned to him.
"As you can see" Giotto frowned.
"Have you tried to shake her or pinch her chick to wake her up?"
"Nope, she would starting to go panic if I try to touch her"
"I see"
"Dame-Tsuna" He called out. Of course, no response.
"Eat the food" with that he dragged himself and the blond out.
Every day they would put food on Tsuna's desk. But, she never touch it nor move from her spot. It's been days since the last time she eat, to the point where Reborn need to feed her forcefully, (she wouldn't go panicked if touched anymore) that of course didn't go unnoticed by Giotto. He had always chided- err . .warned Reborn not to be so mean to her. Cue to a fight. And the winner? Of course it would be our beloved Hitman.
Reborn –who cannot stand the lifeless Tsuna- decide to persuade the brunette when the blond went to school, since that guy would be in his way. He went in the brunette room and saw her still curled and stared into the space. He sighed, somehow seeing the brunette lifeless like this make him feel hurt and miserable. He walked in slowly and sit on the edge of the bed.
"Oi, Dame-Tsuna" he called out, no response.
"Dame-Tsuna!" still the same.
"Tsuna" he said with hints of gentleness in his voice. Tsuna miraculously turned to him, maybe she was surprised to hear something gentle from the Hitman.
Reborn cheered inwardly. "Like I said, stop sulking! Don't be a brat, you look childish already" he said trying to lure out Tsuna's emotion, well, it's better seeing a pissed off Tsuna than a lifeless Tsuna. It felt like pricks piercing mercilessly to his heart.
Tsuna stared at him "I'm sorry, I'm useless" she said with a hoarse voice, prove that she haven't talked in a while and then she turned her head opposite direction of the Hitman. Reborn raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean? You're not that useless even thought you're titled Dame-Tsuna" he retorted back, trying to encourage the brunette. But, Tsuna had gone to her void of stare again.
He leaned closer and take strands of Tsuna's hair, brushing it softly backwards to have a better look of her face. Tsuna looked at him again, quite confused. When her eyes met Reborn's, her intuition suddenly nagged her about something that she didn't like. It's the same feeling she had when she faced those bastards that harass her. Does that mean Reborn also *gulp* lo-lo-love her? No, Does he even know that kind of feeling?.
Reborn saw the uneasiness in Tsuna's eyes, to lighten her up he spoke the first thing that come to his mind out of pure reflex. "What do you mean you're useless?" not a bad question, he really is curious about that.
Tsuna relaxed a little then her eyes back to a dull one. "you had taught me how to fight, to protect myself , yet I couldn't even blink when I faced with merely . . . my past" Reborn closed his eyes and sighed. When he opened his eyes and looked at the brunette his face grazed with a small sincere smile that is rarest than any rarest thing in the world. He ruffled the brunette's hair.
"It's fine. It is hard to fight your past but you should try to get over it. It won't over itself. But you should remember Dame-Tsuna, you're not alone, you have your family. You shouldn't consider yourself to carry the burden all by yourself " Tsuna's eyes suddenly sparked with life. It looks like all the hope that had drowned in the void of regret and guilt had risen again, even thought not fully yet.
"You should also go to school tomorrow. Gokudera and the others are worried like hell about you. Maybe even Hibari" he continued. Tsuna immediately smiled a small smile.
"Thank you Reborn" Reborn was caught off guard again. He replied with his trademark smirk. He danced a victory dance inwardly as he thought of a certain blond reaction toward his new score.
Nami-koukou
*Sneezing*
"Are you sick, Giotto?" Giotto's best friend, G, asked
"No, I think someone is talking about me"
Time skip: After school
"I'm home" Giotto said. He took off his shoes and walked upstairs to do his homework. When he passed in front of Tsuna's room he peeked inside. He expect to see a certain brunette curled up on the bed, but there's no one in the room. He panickedly went down stairs and barging in the kitchen. There he saw tsuna preparing food while Reborn sit down on the chair drinking espresso. His irritated feeling make him forget about why Tsuna is out of her room. Well since it look like a picture of a good wife preparing dinner for her beloved husband. Like hell he'll be Tsuna-chan's husband!. He kept cursing inwardly, but his train of thought cutted by the brunette.
" . . .Tto . . . Giotto!" She shouted.
"Y-yes Tsuna-chan?" he said dumbly. Tsuna sighed. She walked to the blond and bowed in front of him.
"I'm sorry for causing trouble for you." She said. Giotto out of reflex asked.
"Is it Reborn who woke you up?" Tsuna raised her head and answered.
"Yes. He helped me to wake up to reality."
Giotto suddenly felt like there's a thunder bolt that had hit him. His whole body become numb and his left eye twitched uncontrollably. Without him noticing, Reborn smirked, satisfied with his revenge.
"Um. . . Giotto ?"
"Yes?" he said automatically, since he was still shocked.
"Do you want dinner?"
"Sure" he said and took a seat opposite the smirking Hitman.
"You looked really stupid, blond idiot" Reborn whispered. Giotto's vein popped.
"Damn you!" he whispered back. But, before a verbal fight start Tsuna interrupt them with the meal. They eat in silence, some eat happily (Tsuna, since she haven't eat for a while) the other begrudgingly (Giotto, since he's pissed with the Hitman) and the other one calmly (Reborn, thought he's also happy that Tsuna's back but you can't tell from his expression).
The next morning
Tsuna surprisingly up at 06:00, wow 6:00 am dude! She also surprised to know that but she come to a conclusion that she is just too excited that she will come to school today. She jumped out of her bed and took a bath. After that she wore her uniform and went to prepare breakfast. In the kitchen she saw Giotto preparing bentou(lunch) for himself and her (There's no need for him to prepare for Reborn, right?).
"Ohayou Giotto!" Tsuna greeted him. She saw Giotto flinched and turned to her.
"Tsuna-chan! You startled me!" He said while holding his chest. Tsuna smiled sheepishly at him.
"Sorry". Giotto sighed.
"Anyway it really is surpring that you woke up at this hour" Tsuna beamed at this.
"Yeah! I think I'm too excited to go to school" They continue they're chattering while preparing breakfast and bentou. When the Hitman show up he glared at the blond. Looks like the blond starting to turn the table. But, he won't let him do that.
"Where's my breakfast?" They turned to Hitman.
"Reborn, ohayou, here you go!" Tsuna served the meal on top of the table. He Hn-ed and sit down. He saw the two started chattering again. He wanted to interrupt them but he need to check a few documents first, some about the school and some about the family. He sighed and then he scanned the documents one by one until he come to the last document. His eyes widened and slammed the table in reflex. Tsuna shot him a worried look while Giotto shot him a glare, annoyed to be interrupted.
"What's wrong, Reborn?" Tsuna asked. But, the Hitman is still in deep shock to hear her. He read the document again and again hoping it would change it content. He gritted his teeth as the content obviously won't change. He raised his head to look at the brunette .
"Tsuna don't you dare leave Gokudera's or Yamamoto's side. Make sure you have at least one of your family to go with you. Preferably not a weak one like Lambo " In Nami-chuu Lambo sneezed [2].
"But, why?"
"Nothing, just do it" Tsuna nodded slowly. The Hitman should know what he do, right?. Giotto in the other hand shot him an 'Explain-it-later' look. The Hitman nodded almost unnoticed. And they're back to their latest activity.
Reborn finished his breakfast before Tsuna or Giotto could even touch their meals but still elegantly. He went outside, as he expected Gokudera and Yamamoto was outside, also earlier than usual. He walked to them and they greet him.
"Good morning, Reborn-san" Gokudera said with a curt nod.
"Good morning!" Yamamoto said cheerfully.
"I've got something to tell you two" He said. He looked so serious, a sign that he's not kidding.
Fortunately, the two understood the sign.
"What's the thing, Reborn-san?" Gokudera asked. Reborn nodded and whispered something to them, he also show them a portrait of a man.
"Is that all?" Gokudera asked. Reborn nodded again. The two exchange look and nodded.
"I don't know why should we be careful around him. But, I'll protect Tsuna." Yamamoto said with the rare serious face. Gokudera snapped.
"You baseball idiot! You don't need to know. If Reborn-san said he's dangerous then he's freakin' DANGEROUS!" He shouted.
"I'll leave it to you two, I also need to ask that blond idiot" The two tensed. Reborn asking a favor to someone is already a bad sign, more if it's his rival. Who is this guy in the portrait? The two wondered in their mind. But, their train of thought cutted as the door opened revealing Tsuna and Giotto. Tsuna greet them.
"Good morning Hayato, Takeshi" She said cheerfully while Giotto only give them a slight nod. The two snapped back to reality and sheepishly answered.
"G-Good morning" They said simultaneously.
"Let's go now or we're gonna be late" the two nodded again and they start walking.
Giotto on the other hand stayed on his spot while staring at the brunette's retreating back.
"So, mind explaining it now? They looked tense just now" Reborn also stared at the brunette's back.
"Yeah, Something messed up happened."
"And?"
"Xanxus transferred to Nami-koukou."
[1] That's the standard for a guy to marry, right?. Oh! And Giotto is second year high school meaning he's older a year than Tsuna.
[2] Lambo is older in my story. He's first year middle school.
Wow that's the longest chapter I had wrote.
As usual pay the ticket (review) and I give you the show! (the next chappy~)
