Oh, as a reminder. Tsuna's awesome. With reborn and the others as tutors I think driving is on the list of things he needs to learn.

It was peaceful.

The sky was wide and the brightest blue he had ever seen. Not one single cloud was in sight but the sun was shinning brightly in the vast blue. Tsuna stared at the sky, his fingers grasping the grass underneath him as a breeze brushed away his hair from his eyes. His peace was broken by a squeal and body wrapping him into a hug.

"Tsuna! You came to visit! I haven't seen you in awhile!" The illusionist exclaimed as Tsuna gave a sigh. He expected the other to arrive after he fell asleep, due to the fact he wasn't receiving any dreams. He liked his dreams but right now he was here on business.

"I have a request to ask you." The brunet said softly as the older male moved to sit down in front of him. Mukuro had a pleased smile on his face and was wearing a black shirt and jeans. It was always something different when Tsuna visited. He briefly wondered how he changed clothes but decided not to ask.

"I need a mist guardian for Ieyasu. I know you know a few illusionist."

Mukuro closed his eyes before smirking at the brunet. "I can send Nagi. Oops... I mean Chrome. She's really defensive on her name. But it will take awhile to get her in Namimori. She's currently with a family member searching for me." The blue haired male played with the grass, a distant look in his eyes as Tsuna frowned again.

"You're worried about her. I told you I can-"

"It's alright Tsuna. Chrome is doing fine and I've visited her a few times. Its a tiring process but its enough to know she's alright. She's being treated good, so I have nothing to worry about." "

It doesn't mean you're not worried." Tsuna said simply as he reached over to tap the illusionist on the nose. "She's your sister. You're always going to worry about them no matter what you say. I'll get into contact with Chrome and ask her how's she doing. Ieyasu's been meaning to get ahold of her for the same reason."

Mukuro looked down to rub his nose as Tsuna gave a bright smile. His heterozygous eyes stared at him briefly before looking away abruptly. "Tsunayoshi. There's something else. I've visited my uncle, and he's looking for someone. He won't tell me why but I know for a fact he's looking for-!"

"WAKE UP! We're here." Lal said loudly making Tsuna jolt up and blink sleep away from his eyes. Lal was standing a few steps away with a hand on her hip. He looked around and realized they were on the plane. Colonello pushed him softly from behind as he kept in a scowl. What was Mukuro trying to tell him?

Ieyasu rubbed the back of his head before darting his eyes over to the orange haired girl beside him. Kyoko Sasagawa, schools idol, had asked him to help her with math homework. Her best friend, Hana, had been taken out early to go to the doctors and wouldn't be able to teach her. So Hana had proposed for Ieyasu to teach her since the blonde was exceptionally smart. Of course Ieyasu still felt a little strange at getting a praise from Hana. What was the girl planning?

"Today Mr. Nezu was talking about his days in a super good university. It makes me want to try harder! What about you?" Kyoko asked hesitantly as she blushed softly. Ieyasu felt a little awkward at her attempts of conversation but he didn't mind much. Kyoko was a sweet girl and always trying to help, he never thought she'd have a shy side though.

"Actually I'm not going to college. My tutor is really focused on making me inherit a... Business." Honestly, he almost said mafia family. He was still against becoming the tenth boss but Reborn was really good in drilling procedures and situations where he'd be asked questions like this. Reborn was slowly planning his life along and he wasn't sure if he should be happy or sad about it.

Reborn was really manipulative.

"A business? Wow Ieyasu! Your tutor must be really nice to actually propose something like that! That's amazing!" She exclaimed in complete adoration as the blonde rubbed the back of his head with a nervous laugh. Reborn couldn't be considered nice, could he? They arrived to his house with comfortable silence as he was bombarded with five year olds and eight year olds. Takuto had squealed at his arrival and Lambo jumped straight for his face.

"Welcome back Ieyasu! Can you play with us?" The eight year old cried out as Ieyasu wrestled Lambo off his face.

"Sorry guys. I have company over today. We're going to do homework. Why don't you guys play outside?"

Takuto gave a pout before nodding and running off. "Bet I can get there before you Lambo!"

"Lambo thinks not!"

And the two were off into a happy argument and race, knocking down tables and chairs in their way. Ieyasu turned back to Kyoko and smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry. My little brother is a little clingy." He saw her blush and nod her head.

"Its okay! I like little kids!" "

Idiot Ieyasu your late!" A deep voice said from the top of the stairs as the teenagers looked up. Reborn stood with his arms crossed over his chest with Bianchi holding onto his arm lovingly.

"Ah, Kyoko, I think you remember my home tutor Reborn and Bianchi right?" He led the girl upstairs as Bianchi smiled rubbed her cheek into Reborn's arm. Reborn reached up to push his fedora up to look the girl over. They had met before but it had been awhile since Kyoko had been over.

"Its nice to see you again." She replied as they walked over to his room and managed to squeeze themselves inside.

"Kyoko needed help with math homework and Hana was busy so she asked me." Ieyasu explained to Reborn's curious gaze. Reborn nodded before looking towards the door again with a blank expression. Bianchi took Kyoko inside as Ieyasu stood by the doorway with the hitman.

"Caelum is supposed to be back today. Your father is coming home as well." Ieyasu frowned and turned away. He could do without his lazy father. Ignoring Reborn for a moment he sat down at the table with Kyoko and Bianchi as he pulled out his materials. Reborn walked to his desk to sit on top of as Ieyasu tended to Kyoko's needs. For now, he'd ignore the little piece of information he had received.

Alaude had always been able to get his hands on information since as long as he could remember. Since leaving his home town to become a police officer in Italy he had fought his way to the top and became a well known police officer with enough force to bring down an army. He had never tried it but his strength was higher then the entire police force in Italy.

But this time, he was stumped.

He had flown to Japan to gather information on a man who he needed to find. He might tell others it wasn't that important but he had an obligation to find him. It was pissing him off that there wasn't a single trace of this man anywhere. His... Comrades were like children, if they didn't get the information soon they would blow up a town in their frustration.

Of course Alaude would never allow that. That's why he sent away the illusionist bastard and his niece to Italy. The less destructive forces in Japan the better. He had high respects for his job as a police officer but he would always bend the law for that one person. It wasn't like him to admit things like this but since he regained that little piece of memory he knew he owed it to him.

His boss was important, he'd be damned if he couldn't find a clue of the man now.

Reborn was on edge the entire night.

He had a job to train Ieyasu to fight Xanxus but at the moment the only thing he had accomplished was simple hand to hand and his hyper intuition. He knew that wouldn't be enough to beat Xanxus. He hasn't heard from the boys friends either. Takeshi came from a line of famous swordmen but the boy hadn't picked up a sword in his entire life. As for Gokudera, he wasn't sure if the kid would have enough power to protect.

He leaned back into his bed with a small sigh. Leon crawled up his chest before licking his cheek in comfort. He stared at the chameleon before smiling softly and petting him. He could ask the skylark to join the fight but knew he might not have enough to beat them. Messing with leon's tiny feet he flipped the chameleon over before rubbing his belly. It was strange how the tiny animal reminded him of a cat. He needed Tsuna to come home before he could complete his plans though.

There was a certain cop in town that he couldn't ignore.

There was going to be a fight soon and with the Vongola's assassination squad coming into town, he wasn't sure if there was going to be a town left after this. He needed to gather some information and the best one for the job was Tsuna. He could get it himself but Tsuna was the one he could rely on for situations like this. He picked Leon up to set the chameleon by his head before flipping over. Leon didn't appreciate getting crushed when he flipped over. On his side he gazed at the wide golden eyes before poking his partner in the head.

"We need a weapon for Ieyasu, Leon. You feel anything?" The chameleon responded by curling into the hand as the hitman sighed.

This wasn't going to be easy.

"Oh, honey!" A voice cried out in pure love. Ieyasu twitched from under his blankets at the squeal. He poked his head out from under the covers to glare at his alarm clock. It was eight in the morning and also a Saturday.

He could sleep in.

"Papa!" Another voice cried out as someone giggled. Ieyasu groaned before flipping onto his back. Staring at the ceiling he realized a green ball was staring at him with gold eyes.

Why was there a ball on his ceiling? Since when did balls have eyes?

Before he could ask questions the ball dropped and landed on him, knocking the air out of his body. The ball shifted into a tiny chameleon before jumping out of the bed, leaving Ieyasu to try and regain his breathing.

Sucking in a few breaths the blonde shot up and screamed, "REBORN!"

After throwing a black T-shirt over his bare chest he kicked the door open and jumped down the stairs without slipping on any of the steps. Walking into the kitchen he was met with a taunting smirk from his tutor, who was holding Leon on his finger tips. Bianchi was beside Takuto holding a bowl of mix. He blanched at the sight as he saw Lambo eating a bowl of food.

"Ieyasu! Bianchi is helping me make a cake for Papa!" Takuto exclaimed before jogging up to the teen, batter crashing against the end of the bowl and staining his apron. Ieyasu forgot his irritation the moment he heard Papa. "Papa? What are you...?"

"IEYASU! PAPA'S HOME!" a burly man in a white muscle shirt threw the screen door open with Nana attached to his side, blush on her cheeks. Ieyasu's eye twitched before looking at Reborn with an annoyed gaze.

"He's here. Where's Caelum?"

The hitman closed his eyes before resting his cheek in the palm of his hand. "Bianchi, can you help Nana hang the clothes with Lambo and Takuto?"

The pink haired assassin blinked before nodding and leading the innocents outside. Ieyasu saw her smile before blushing at Reborn. He'd never understand the woman's obsession with Reborn. The minute they were gone Ietmitsu walked to the table before sitting down. Ieyasu was still a little peeved as Reborn gave him a pointed look. With a sigh the blonde sat down in defeat. Ieyasu knew that look. It was the sit-down-or-I-hurt-you-later look.

"What happened?" Was the only thing Reborn demanded as Ieyasu gazed at his father with narrowed blue eyes. The CEDEF boss nodded before resting his chin on his closed fist.

"The infiltration was a success with few casualties on our side. Vongola Nonno managed to stop the revolt but Xanxus escaped. He's after the Vongola rings I gave to Basil after we got separated at the airport. Lal and Colonello had to separate from Caelum and Basil. My other subordinates were left in Italy to help out Vongola Nonno."

The only thought processing in Ieyasu's mind was 'what?'

Who was Xanxus? What was going on? Vongola rings? Why was he getting the Vongola rings?

"Ieyasu, Xanxus is Vongola Nonno's adopted son, who wants the position of Vongola Decimo. He is leader of Vongola's assassination squad. He and his subordinates led the rebellion Caelum went to help stop. Caelum warned me about Xanxus arriving a few days ago. Xanxus is currently being mislead by Basil and Caelum. Make sure to thank Caelum when he gets back." Reborn informed making Ieyasu take it all in.

The blonde took in a deep breath before letting it out. But something was nagging him. Caelum was okay right?

He saw his dad staring at the table seriously.

Something felt wrong.

"Get dressed, idiot Ieyasu. We have things to do today." The hitman ordered as he stood up and sent a knowing gaze to the blonde teenager. His dad didn't answer as Ieyasu climbed up the stairs to complete Reborn's request. The fore boarding feeling in his stomach was making him edgy.

"K-Kyoko's house? What are we doing here?!" Ieyasu exclaimed as he stared at his tutor in shock. Reborn smirked before reaching into his suit and pulling out a book.

"Kyoko Sasagawa has a very powerful brother. If you gain respects of the sister the brother will favor you. In the mafia world, connections are everything. Return this book to Kyoko like a gentleman." The hitman smirked in amusement at the blonde disbelieving gaze. As the boy walked to the door, Reborn leaned against the wall of the gate. Kyoko was currently visiting Hana. The only one home was Ryohei Sasagawa. The captain of the boxing club. Reborn usually wouldn't bother with something like this but had felt the sun flames coming from Kyoko before feeling the full force of Ryohei.

If Reborn knew his student as well as he did, there was no doubt in his mind Ryohei would join the family. With a sun user in the family the only spot left was mist. He would leave that to Tsuna who said he would find one. There was a very loud voice from behind him as he winced. Yeah, this was going to be a very loud family.

"YOU'RE LOOKING FOR KYOKO?! She's not here?! Who are you?" Reborn felt his lips twitch in amusement when he imagined Ieyasu's shocked expression.

"I-I'm Ieyasu Sawada. We go to class together, she forgot her book at my house last night, so I came to return it." The blonde's voice sounded hesitant.

"She was at your house last night? That's extremely weird! I never let anyone date Kyoko unless they beat me at a boxing match! That's it! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A BOXING MATCH FOR THE CHANCE TO DATE KYOKO!"

"Wait a minute! I don't want to date Kyoko! Hey what are you doing?! REBORN!"

the hitman smirked in amusement as a white haired teenager dragged off his student by the back of his hood. He leaned off the wall about to follow when a voice stopped him, "well, this is a surprise."

The hitman turned around quickly analyzing the figure. He had felt a presence when they arrived but didn't think it was worth interfering with. This man wasn't considered a threat to him(nothing was considered a threat to him, he was Reborn, the worlds greatest hitman for a reason). He looked older then the hitman and had spiky black hair, a bandaid taped on the bridge of his nose. His golden eyes looked calm but Reborn could see the worry and small tint of fear in them. Reborn stuffed his hands into his pockets as the elder walked out of the doorway.

"Kyoko and Ryohei are innocents, Reborn. I don't want them involved." The golden eyed male stated as Reborn analyzed him from under his fedora. Leon twitched slightly before climbing down his hat to his shoulder.

"It's their choice to join. If you don't want those two involved why did you return? Once you enter the underground, you can't get out. Those two are at risk by your mere presence." The other visibly flinched as Reborn smirked softly. He couldn't stay here, he had to follow Ieyasu and then check on the boys friends while delivering messages. Not to mention he had to prepare for the arrival of the Vongola rings.

"I enjoyed this little talk, but I'm busy today. The choice falls on him, Knuckle." He turned and gave a wave.

While leaving he heard the smallest whisper of, "Ieyasu?"

His blade cut into the dummy without any difficulty. He ducked from the blow of his brother before turning and meeting the older male halfway. He was breathing in soft pants, his forehead covered in beads of sweat. Asari looked calm and collected, his navy blue eyes narrowed in concentration. They wore matching robes, only Takeshi had bandages taped across his chest. That had been placed after he got into a rough fight with Asari and needed to get fixed up by their father.

"You're getting better. But you can still improve."

With a jerk, Asari lifted pressure from the blade causing Takeshi to stumble before Asari placed a hand behind his head and forced him down. Takeshi grumbled into the mattress before turning over onto his back. They had been at it for over a week since Takeshi returned late from Gokudera's house. He ignored his fathers pleas of not getting involved in the mafia business but looked directly at Asari, demanding to learn about his fathers famous technique, shoen-ryu.

He wanted to be able to stand beside Ieyasu and Caelum. He wanted to travel with them and he wanted to be useful. He hasn't realized the danger because Ieyasu refused to talk about it. Ieyasu trained daily with Caelum and they both hid the truth. He should have believed it but he hasn't thought it was true. He could only curse his stupidity. But now he was going to try hard, he was going to push past his limits. He was going to protect his best friends. He owed his life to them and not just because they saved him from jumping off the roof, but because they saved him from the loneliness and pain he had bottled up since he was young.

"Get up, we have two more seta of dummies to get through before you're finished for today." Asari said bluntly as Takeshi got to his feet, ready to attack. Only to be halted by a shout from their father.

"Asari! Phone! Takeshi! Visitor!" Both Yamamoto's froze before they bowed respectfully and took off. Asari met his father first before taking the phone and turning away. Takeshi grabbed a towel from the counter top before wiping sweat off his neck. He needed a really good shower. Getting to the front he was surprised to see Gokudera and Takuto waiting for him.

"Takeshi!" The eight year old cried out as he hugged him tightly.

"Hey! What brings you guys here? Where's Lambo?" He rubbed the brunet's back before looking at Gokudera confused. The silver haired bomber looked angrier then usual.

"Reborn sent me but Takuto squeezed his way in. Lambo was taking a nap so we left him with Mrs. Sawada. Reborn asked me to tell you to go to Decimo's house tomorrow for a meeting. Caelum's coming home soon and he wants to explain a few things."

Takeshi frowned as Takuto pulled on his robes childishly. "Is everything alright?"

Gokudera didn't respond right away before he shrugged. "Just be there tomorrow, come on Takuto, we have to pick up Decimo from the middle school!"

As they left Takuto tugged him down to his knees. "Papa came home today, they were talking about fights and rings. Reborn looked mad at the fighting for the rings. I just thought you'd know." The boy skipped off as Takeshi leaned on the back of his heels.

That boy was truly something else.

"C-Caelum! Where are you-?" The blonde broke off as the hooded assassin shoved him through another door way. They heard a blast from behind them as Tsuna slammed a back door open. They had successfully lead the group from Namimori but even Basil knew they couldn't continue this forever. Tsuna lead him into an alley before wincing and leaning against a wall for a deep breath.

"Don't push yourself, Caelum. You're still injured." The CEDEF member whispered as the brunet grunted and lifted himself off the wall. Tsuna felt the pain in his side worsen over the run from the airport. Driving through traffic while avoiding a pissed off varia family wasn't exactly easy. His wound had closed but even the smallest of hits could make it open again. He ran out of sun pills after the healing with Mammon. He could feel the illusionists presence somewhere behind them.

There was a crash before both teenagers took off a spring into the lighted street. They lost there car a few ways down when they spiked their wheels and tried to electrocute them(courtesy of Levi and Belphegor). Tsuna gripped Basil's hand tightly before jumping into another building. He heard the blonde apologize as he jumped over the counter releasing Basil to let the other jump over as well. He kicked the kitchen door open before ducking from trays of waiters. In the process, Basil had found his hand yet again. A buzzing from his pocket made him curse as he reached into his pocket to answer the call.

"Not a good time, what do you want?" He growled quickly as he heard a loud, 'VOOOOOOOOOOOI!' From behind him.

"Yeah, I can see that, Tsuna. Oh, take a right and head into the salon. It should give you time to throw them off for a bit." A happy voice replied as Tsuna felt his face light up in recognition. He took the sharp right in time to see the saloon. Sure enough, if they knocked down a few things they could buy some time.

"Give me a sec."

He clenched the phone before crashing the door open and startling a few women. Basil apologized as Tsuna knocked over a few chairs and tables. They ran out through the back door before he placed the phone to his ear again.

"Okay, where the hell are you? I know you're around here somewhere, Dino." The man chuckled before a honk got his attention. He snapped the phone shut before looking at Basil with a nod. The back doors of the van were thrown open as he tossed Basil in and jumped in right after. The minute they were inside the doors shut and the van took off. Tsuna panted heavily before peering up at the figure helping him up. His blonde hair was covering his face as he smiled, his brown eyes lightening up. Tsuna remembered the last time he saw Dino, he had been younger. Reborn was still under the curse back then.

"Now, what has you running around all over the place?" The boss asked happily as Basil leaned against the van, holding a decorated box against his chest. Tsuna shook his head of the past as he pointed at the boy.

"Vongola rings and the varia."

The minute Dino heard that he nodded and patted Tsuna's head before they were all thrown against the side of the van as the driver turned sharply.

"Lucky for you I got a call from Ietmitsu earlier. We have the perfect plan! And ah, you okay?"

Tsuna gripped his side in the middle of the conversation. He knew he had to trust Dino in this. Reborn would never admit it but he trusted Dino greatly. Tsuna did as well. If he didn't the blonde would have never learned his name.

"Fine, what do you have in mind?" He grunted as Basil looked at him with concerned eyes. Dino reached into his jacket before bringing out a box identical to the one Basil was carrying.

"Let's play a little trick on them, neh?"

"Reborn you're evil." Ieyasu hissed as he nursed an ice pack against his cheek.

"What? I thought that went fairly well. Not only did you gain a family member you have a chance with Kyoko."

The blonde glared in response before removing the ice pack to gently poke the bruised cheek. Ryohei wasn't a push over and he learned that the moment he got sucker punched. He managed to win with his hyper dying will mode but he was still mad Reborn even proposed a stupid deal. If Ieyasu won Ryohei joined his family, if he lost... Well, he'd have Reborn to answer to and with the aura of killing intent Reborn let out was enough to focus on winning.

"You enjoy to watch me suffer don't you?" The blonde grumbled before leaning against his wall. Reborn smirked in amusement before throwing Leon over.

"Leon can keep your hands from freezing." The chameleon shifted into a rag as the blonde covered up the bag of peas. His dad was still being loud and idiotic, reason he wasn't downstairs. He placed the pack to his cheek again and felt Leon lick him making him chuckle into his hand. He was not about to giggle in front of Reborn.

"Its all settled." Reborn stated bluntly as he twirled in the desk chair and leaned back. This was the first time Ieyasu analyzed the hitman relaxing. Reborn did look young for being a twenty year old. His hair was constantly confined with the fedora and he was always dressed in a crisp clean suit. He was currently leaning with the suit jacket in buttoned revealing the tie and white button up underneath. Strapped against his chest was a gun hoister with loaded guns. It reminded him that Reborn was a hitman and from the looks of it, always prepared.

"I got a call from my old student. He found Caelum and is on his way here. Colonello and Lal are also arriving soon." Ieyasu nodded at his tutor before seeing the mans charcoal black eyes stare at the door seriously. He looked out the window thinking about Caelum again. It had been about two weeks or so since he left and things were already hectic without him. He bit the inside of his cheeks as he tried to ignore the uneasy feeling in his gut.

It was around midnight when Dino shook his shoulder. Tsuna blinked blurrily while trying to recall what had happened. He remembered switching the rings with Dino and then throwing himself out of the vehicle to go against Squalo. The other Varia members left it to Squalo and Basil had went against him before they were 'defeated' and handed the rings over. Tsuna couldn't remember much after that. His head was fuzzy.

"Tsuna, you lost a bit of blood. Keep still until we get you to Reborn." Dino whispered against his ear as Tsuna groaned. He passed out from the pain. He should have known it was his body that decided to give up.

"And Basil?" He asked softly while peering into the darkness. He was leaning against Dino in the back of the van. Dino had a hand wrapped tightly around his torso and his face was pinched in concentration.

"Asleep. We're arriving at the Sawada house soon. I'm more worried about your health right now. Why didn't you tell me you were injured?" He flinched slightly at the hurt tone Dino was using.

It had been the Arcobaleno he opened up to and after Reborn took him on the mission to train Dino to become a mafia boss, Dino became a part of his life. Tsuna had been young and had trained Dino the same as Reborn had. Reborn had enjoyed his time as a tutor, Tsuna knew that from the look on Reborn's face when Dino became a great boss. It had been trust between them during that time that let Tsuna reveal his true name and face. He hadn't visited Dino in awhile because of the Arcobaleno curse and the mission with Vongola. But Dino still called him a few times to see how he and the other arcobaleno were doing. Dino didn't treat him like an assassin of tutor, he treated Tsuna as a regular little brother. Tsuna didn't mind as much as he thought he would have.

"We needed to finish the mission. Don't worry, I'm fine." The chances of Dino buying that was slim. The car jerked to a stop before the doors opened and Dino was carefully pulling him out of the van. Dino's family members were carefully waking up Basil. Dino was tall and Tsuna felt a little embarrassed as the blonde pulled his arm over his shoulder and dragged him up the pathway and into the Sawada household. The door was opened by Ietmitsu who was watching over everything carefully. The mans blue eyes landed on him but quickly looked for Basil.

"Take him to Ieyasu's bedroom. Reborn's up there, I think he's asleep."

Tsuna could hear the relief in Ietmitsu's voice at the fact Reborn was asleep.

"You better hope he is." Dino mumbled with a shiver as Tsuna looked at him in confusion.

"Don't come upstairs. Take him to the kitchen." A voice said from the top of the stairs. Tsuna felt his heart leap at the hitmans voice. Reborn was currently tugging on his white button up shirt, his hat nowhere in sight. The mans eyes were narrowed as he made his way over. Tsuna felt slightly ridiculous at being so excited to hear the mans voice. But he usually spent all his time with Reborn, they hadn't been separated for over two weeks before.

"Take off your shirt." Reborn commanded as Dino shut the door to the kitchen keep Ietmitsu out. Tsuna appreciated the action as he undid his cape and snapped the hoister off his chest. He dropped the bloody shirt to the ground as Reborn clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Dino, help him remove the bandages." The hitman ordered. Tsuna watched his ex-tutor search around the kitchen for something before pulling out a first aid kit. Tsuna hissed at the pain of the bandages being removed as Reborn turned on the hot water to wet a rag.

"Idiot. I don't know how the fuck this happened but I'm going to kill someone." Reborn growled as the brunet kept his mouth shut. Whenever reborn was mad, keep your mouth shut.

"Sit." He ordered in a cold voice before kneeling down and pressing the rag against Tsuna's abdomen.

"Weren't Colonello and Lal with you?" Reborn growled while glaring up at him. The brunet opened his mouth to retort when he saw the worry in Reborn's eyes. It was hidden under the familiar anger and annoyance and if it had been anyone else they would never have noticed. But Tsuna knew Reborn extremely well, something like this was easy to read. Swallowing his sarcastic reply he placed his hand against the side of Reborn's face and brushed the side burn softly. He smiled in apology as the hitman growled but understood the gesture.

"Doesn't matter now. Relax." Reborn growled before he rested both hands against the wound. The brunet closed his eyes in response to the warmth of the sun flames radiating through his body. Reborn always had the warmest flames, in Tsuna's opinion. Dino coughed lightly as Reborn pulled away leaving nothing but a pink scar and smears of blood on his torso. The assassin blushed lightly at forgetting Dino had been in the room.

"You'll shower in the morning. Dino, take him upstairs to Ieyasu's bedroom. Throw them into the same bed. I'll be up in a bit." Dino gave a happy smile before throwing the small boy into his arms and throwing his cape over his bare body. Tsuna was grateful for that as well.

"But Reborn-"

"Actually its best of Reborn comes over later, trust me Tsuna, messing with Reborn right now isn't safe."

No further words were needed to persuade the brunet to keep his mouth shut.

Tsuna was hurt. Tsuna was bleeding. Tsuna had been in pain.

Those were the only thought running through his mind as he entered the living room, where Basil and Ietmitsu were talking. Dino's men had went outside to keep Nana from waking up. Reborn felt Leon crawl down his arm before transforming to the familiar pistol. He unlocked the safety before placing the piece of metal to the back of Ietmitsu's head.

"You have ten seconds to tell me why I shouldn't kill you and why the hell Caelum is hurt." He had almost slipped up. His rage was getting to him and he knew if he didn't calm down he could mess up.

"R-Reborn! It was an accident! We arrived and he was on the floor-!"

He dug the gun into the mans school before leaning closer and smirking like a sadist. "Ietmitsu, I trained Caelum myself. The varia wouldn't have gotten him on his knees with a simple right."

The blonde stuttered for a response as he tightened his hold on the trigger.

"Caelum got sick! He started coughing and couldn't get up! Mammon helped save him from Xanxus but then he jumped down to help me where Squalo stabbed him! I'm sorry Mr. Reborn!" The blonde from the other side of the room exclaimed in a hurry.

The hitman felt a frown tug at his lips. Tsuna had fallen sick? That was a good reason. Tsuna pushed himself even when he was sick, one of the reasons Reborn had tutored the boy. He removed the gun and watched the CEDEF boss sigh in relief.

"Thanks Basil. I thought he was going to kill me." He grumbled. Reborn felt Leon shift in his grasp before turning into a hammer.

Reborn smirked at that.

It seemed his partner wanted to bring pain upon Ietmitsu. Basil was looking at him wide eyed as Reborn lifted the mallet.

"Don't worry Ietmitsu, I won't kill you."

Oh, but he was going to make Ietmitsu wish he had put a bullet through his head.

BTW I realized I've been spelling Ietmitsu wrong. Neh, whatever lol hope you enjoyed!
