Today's unnoticed author's note will mostly be about Colonnello. Yes, I did give him another name and his nickname is Colonnello. Mostly because he curses like a sailor but is as bossy as a colonel. By the way, Leno does exist as a name and means "as brave as a lion". Doesn't it suit him? And, well, I put Lluvia because I wanted to.

[秋] : Fall.
"SAWADA! IF YOU DON'T OPEN YOUR DOOR IN FIVE SECONDS, I'LL SHOOT IT DOWN, KORA!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi awoke to his editor's lovely voice and almost had a heart attack when five seconds later, as promised, a racket exploded in his porch. The brunet squeaked when he realized that the diabolical editor would soon enough see him in his bed.
Without any clothes on his back, if you don't count his blankets.
"HIEEEE!" the writer screeched when said blankets vanished and he ended stark naked on his bed. While the familiar sound of his editor's heavy military boots came up the stairs and in the corridor leading to his room.
"SA-WA-DA," the man susurrated with his diabolical voice just as the bedroom door exploded in smithereens.
The brunet bawled in terror and curled against his wall while he put his pillow over his crotch.
"I thought that I had told you to send me your new story plot," Lluvia Leno smoothly added as he lowered his hand covered by a knuckle duster made of steel. "So why didn't you do it..."
However, the young man was way too scared to answer him and Leno scowled in annoyance.
"So what, kora!" he barked like the military sergeant that his colleagues never stopped comparing himself to. "Aren't you going to tell me that a demon prevented you from writing, kora?!"
"Co-Colonnello," Tsuna whimpered while he kept the pillow over his lap (because he knew better than everyone else how much his editor hated seeing naked men). "He didn't give me any other choice! He told me that satisfying s-sex-sexual d-drive would help me with my inspiration!"
The blond editor raked his finger through his tousled hair and glared at the brunet who curled even more against the wall, almost as if he was trying to fuse himself with it. The adult's blue eyes wandered over the young boy's body, noticing and categorizing the scratches and hickeys blossoming over the writer's pale skin.
"Oi, Reborn," Leno called with a harsh voice, his eyes never leaving his terrified author's shivering body. "Could you explain to me why you distracted Sawada when he had to work on his new book, kora!"
Only silence answered the editor's question and the latter tilted his head while his left eyebrow ticked under his growing annoyance.
"OI, DUMBASS DEMON, KORA!" the blond roared as he took out of his heavy camouflage coat a rifle before he targeted Tsuna's horrified face with it. "ANSWER WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU OR THE BRAT WILL SUFFER, KORA!"
"HIEEEE!"
A sigh followed the raging man's screams, and a man in his twenties appeared, leaning against the window and wearing only black clothes (Unlike Tsuna who was still panicking over his state of nakedness on the bed) and a dark fedora with an orange ribbon.
"Tsk," Reborn clicked his tongue in annoyance. "We can never get it easy..."
Leno's left eyebrow ticked once again and his finger shuddered imperceptibly on his rifle trigger.
"Easy?" he breathed out. "Easy? Do you even know what it is to live in hell, kora? Do you know what it is to deal with a possessed brat who follows orders but always gives his texts to a bloody demon instead of sending them to me? Do you, kora?!"
"You're talking to a demon, stupid human unable to write something acceptable," the raven retorted as he raised a mocking brow.
"KORAAA!" Colonnello raged as he targeted the demon's chest with his rifle. "WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THE ONLY EDITOR IN THE WORLD TO DEAL WITH AN AUTHOR STALKED BY A DEMON, KORA! WHY?"
And it was with those lovely words that the blond fired at the demon while he laughed like a psychopath when he saw the bullet holes on Reborn's chest. The latter didn't even blink an eye and kept his arms crossed over his chest before he began to yawn with a disinterested face.
"Are you finished?" the demon asked with a condescending tone once the editor stopped shooting at him (mostly because he didn't have any more bullets). "You got to express your petty issues and we can talk like adults now?"
Leno looked down and took a deep breath before he abruptly looked at Tsuna. The boy had begun whimpering and praying so he wouldn't be hit by the glass fragments that had flown all over the bedroom during the shooting.
"Sawada, kora!" the blond hissed as he walked towards the writer. "Get your skinny ass moving and begin writing. Now, kora!"
"HIIEEE!" the brunet screeched when he felt his editor's hand take him by his left ankle and pull him out of his bed. "AT LEAST LET ME GET DRESSED!"
"LESS TALKING AND MORE WRITING, KORA!"
Left alone in the bedroom, Reborn stretched like a cat and absentmindedly scratched his neck at the spot where Tsuna had bitten him during their frolics.
He wasn't against a heavy breakfast after that whole night spent satisfying his favorite writer's needs.
Anon's answer:
Sah: Someone else did it.
How about a little question to end this chapter? Why is Colonnello able to see Reborn?
