A/N: Thank you guy's so much for the reviews. So... here's the next chapter.

Enjoy.

Target One point Five: That guy from Italy, part 2

Tsuna and Reborn's encounter went, well, surprisingly well. Apart from the fact that Reborn was continuously muttering death curses under his breath towards the girls unfortunate father.

Something about...

"Keeping valid information a secret." or something similar. He was muttering under his breath so Tsuna was never able to actually hear his words. Had she been any other person she probably wouldn't have heard him at all, but since her ears were so highly developed, hearing him was an easy matter, telling what he said was a completely different matter all together.

"So..." Tsuna finally spoke after a moment of awkward silence between the two. Making Reborn look up at her. "You're the new tutor?" her voice was slightly shaking as she spoke.

Reborn tilted his fedora with a heavy sigh.

"Yes, I'm your new tutor." he answered. "But-" Tsuna cut him off.

"You're not the average tutor." she said, turning back towards her desk. "I know, since my grades are perfect I couldn't help but to think you're here for some other reason." she turned her head slightly over her shoulder in Reborn's direction.

Reborn raised his eyebrow.

"Your grades are perfect?" he asked, quite surprised. "According to the information I received from Iemitsu, you still need so work with your school work."

Tsuna snorted.

"That man hasn't been home for over four years, of course he wouldn't know about my development." she spun her chair around, still staring into space. "The last time he was here I was still struggling with my alternate way of education, but I have gotten used to it now." running her hand through her still damp hair she frowned. "My dad probably believes me to be a helpless little child that can't do anything without some type of guide, but in that case, his information is way outdated."

Reborn just nodded, showing that he had understood.

"So what is your business here?" crossing her legs, Tsuna placed her hands on her knee.

"Right." Reborn muttered. Stepping a little closer to the girl, Reborn couldn't help but to feel that what he was doing was wrong. How could they have a blind woman as a boss? But then again, when he was done with his training she would be more than capable of taking over the position wouldn't she?

He sighed yet again.

"I have been sent by the ninth Vongola boss to train you." he looked straight into her blurry eyes. "To become his successor." and then he fell silent, awaiting her reaction.

Tsuna tilted her head to the side, still staring into space.

"Me?" she placed her hand against her chest. "A mafia boss?" Reborn gave a confused look. He was pretty sure that he had never said a word about any Mafia family.

"How did you know it was the mafia?" Reborn asked, sounding rather thoughtful.

Tsuna's eyes widened for but a second, how could she have made such a stupid mistake? She made sure not to think that of course, all the while making up an expectation in Swedish.

Reborn looked at her with a confused look.

She knew Swedish?

Of all the languages he had to skip, he had to have skipped that very language.

Sweden is such a calm country that hasn't had any real conflict for 200 years so he didn't think knowing the language would be necessary.

Finally, Tsunako allowed a sigh to escape her lips.

"I found out about Dads profession about a year ago." she brought up her legs to her chest. "You don't expect me to believe that he actually travels around the world to navigate the traffic of construction sights, did you?" she opened one of the drawers in her desk and pulled out a small postcard.

She did this without taking her eyes away from the nothingness she was staring at.

She handed the postcard to Reborn.

"Especially in Antarctica."

"Iemitsu..." Reborn shook his head at the man's stupidity.

It was then that Tsuna raised her head, catching the smell coming from downstairs.

She stood up.

"We should go." she said, moving towards the door. "Dinner will be ready in a few." she turned her head slightly in Reborn's direction before she disappeared into the hall.

Reborn just stood there, staring after the girl.

He sighed.

"There is one thing that I can agree with Iemitsu." he tilted his fedora. "You are a perfect, fragile little angel Sawada Tsunako." he sighed. "It kind of makes me feel guilty that I'll have to pluck those wings of yours." with that said (well, muttered) he made his was towards the door as well, but with slower steps than he had used to get in there.

After dinner, Reborn took time to analyze his new student.

"Perfect posture." he noted. "Long legs, nicely developed body, confident movements even though she's blind. She acts as if she's not blind at all. Organized." he had come up with all of this just by watching her clear the table.

When they were finished, Tsunako took off towards her room, well aware that Reborn was following her. Thus, when she entered her sactuary, she sat down on the bed and asked the baby the question she had been dying to ask for two whole years.

"Ne, Reborn..." she stated, bringing her legs up to her chest.

"What is it?" the baby asked, trying not to sound surprised that she knew he had followed her.

"Please be honest with me." she looked up from between her knees. "With my eyes like this..." she trailed off. "Do you really think I would be a good enough mafia boss?" her voice quivered as she spoke. "I mean, being blind must bring me down in my work right?"

Reborn raised an eyebrow yet again, how many times did he have to do that in one day?

"You're surprisingly acceptant of this." he muttered before he straightened his back. "As long as you learn how to fight even without your eyes, you'll be just fine."

Tsuna nodded in understanding.

"But..." she trailed off, moving to sit on her her knees instead. "Isn't there other candidates other than me?" she asked. "Why are you forcing me to become the successor?"

Now this was a question that Reborn had expected.

"Vongola Nono's sons were all taken out ahead of time." he stated simply, not wanting to mare the poor girls head with the story about how they died. Even he was not that evil.

"But what does that have to do with me?" Tsuna asked, looking quite confused.

"Vongola Primo retired when he was still young and emigrated to Japan. He's your great, great, great grandfather and so, you are of the Vongola bloodline and a legitimate candidate for Vongola Decimo." Reborn wondered why he was holding up the Vongola family tree when she couldn't even read it.

Tsunako however, calmly lifted her hand to stroke her fingertips over the text that was still invisible.

"So..." she spoke after a moment of silence. "Vongola Octavo was a woman?"

Reborn's eyes widened.

"You can read?" he asked. Tsuna nodded. "But you're blind."

Tsunako sighed.

"I can still read if I stroke my hand over the text, otherwise nothing." she explained.

Reborn nodded in understanding.

"So you're not as held back as people may believe?" Reborn smirked at his new discovery.

Tsuna smirked back.

"You don't need your eyes to see." for the first time since Reborn met her, Tsunako actually turned her head towards him. "Even though my eyes don't work, it's like my body can register the amount of light that bounces off of things, and thus I can tell what color something is." Reborn had to admit that he was impressed. "However..." she trailed of. "Edges, details and lines are all blurry until I actually touches them." she motioned towards the paper in Reborn's hand. "Papers for example appear to be blank."

Reborn nodded in understanding. He smirked.

There just might be some hope for this little angel after all.

The next day, Tsuna changed into her uniform.

She had woken up when the alarm clock rang so that Reborn didn't have to use his hellish way of waking people up. She had taken a shower, brushed her hair before braiding it over her right shoulder.

Her uniform consisted in a white button-down shirt the sleeves resembled a T-shirt of course, a dark-blue skirt that reached mid-thigh. She also wore white knee-socks. The black Marry-Jane's stood by the door. Just waiting for her to leave.

She sighed as she tied the ribbon around her neck.

"This is gonna be a long day." she muttered to herself before she grabbed her bag from her desk.

She had remembered during the night that the day after Reborn arrives, Mochida had challenged Tsunayoshi to a duel. So she had to braise herself for the worst.

Grabbing her bento on the kitchen counter, along with a piece of bread from the storage, she left the house with only the worst in mind.

"Let's do this Tsunako." she muttered to herself.

From her bedroom window, Reborn was looking down at his student with great interest hidden in those emotionless eyes of his.

"This is going to be interesting." he muttered to himself.

Tsunako took a deep breath before she placed her hand on the classroom door.

She really didn't wanna do this, but she had to.

She breathed out as she forced her arm to move. Slowly pushing up the door.

The whole class turned towards her as she stepped inside.

"Sawada..." one of the boys muttered as he got up from his seat, walking over to the fragile looking girl in front of them. "Is it true?" he asked, Tsuna could tell from the sound of the guy's voice that he was disappointed. Why is that?

"What?" she asked, readjusting her bag.

"Is it true that you confessed to Mochida yesterday afternoon?" oh, so that's why they were so worked up. They all believed that Tsuna was in love with that guy and so, all their dreams were crushed. But of course, Tsuna didn't know about that.

Her eyes widened.

"Oh, HELL NO!" She yelled.

The people in the class all jumped, the boy's stared at her with wide eyes, but then they relaxed again.

"Thank heavens." some of them muttered.

Tsuna gave the sounds confused looks.

She didn't noticed how a certain baseball star smiled at her, the first real smile anyone had seen in ages. But of course, they would all be way to dimwitted to notice the difference.

"You're funny, Sawada-chan." he muttered to himself.

Just then, the classroom door filled with a bunch of Kendo club members. Some of them looked rather shy when their eyes fell on the angelic girl in front of them.

One of the gulped before finally calling out to her.

"Sawada." the girl turned around towards the voice, in a way that made her braid fly slightly before reclaiming it's position. All she saw were blurry faces but she could still feel their nervous aura. Why were they nervous?

"Yes?" she questioned, her grip tightening around her bag.

"Eh..." the boy trailed off as he scratched the back of his head. As he thought, talking to the most innocent girl in school was a lot harder than people let on. "Captain Mochida is waiting for you at the dojo." he finally said, making the people around them whisper. "Would you please come with us?" he had to be nice, none could be mean to Sawada.

"What does he want?" Tsunako asked, not letting go of her bag.

"We don't know." the man said, walking up to the girl. "We were just sent to get you." he reached out a hand to her. "Now, would you please come with us?"

Tsuna didn't know what the boy looked like, but she could tell that he was pleading with her.

She sighed, gently placing her hand in his.

"Lead the way." she said softly.

If the boy had died right now, he would have died a happy man.

The men around him gave him looks of envy, their hands itching to have the girl touch them as well, but they all knew that there was very little chance that she ever would do that.

The boy led the girl out of the classroom at a slow pace, careful to make sure that the angel holding his hand wouldn't trip, but then again, if she did trip, he would have an excuse to touch her wouldn't he?

The whole club followed after the kendo club, anxious to know what was going on.

Once inside the dojo, the boy stopped, gently letting go of her hand.

"Here we are." he said before stepping away from her.

"Ah, there you are." Tsuna looked in front of her, and there stood Mochida. Dressed in his kendo armor while looking at Tsuna with such an intensity that it made the girls knees quiver just feeling those eyes on her.

What did he want from her?

Tsuna started to rub her arm without even knowing about it.

"I challenge you, Sawada Tsunako." Mochida declared. Tsuna's eyes widened while the students around them started whispering.

"What's his deal?"

"Isn't she blind?"

"How horrible can a man get?"

And so they continued. All the while Tsuna was trying to figure out a reason behind why he would want to challenge her.

So far, nothing.

"If you win, I will turn around and never look at you again." Tsuna tilted her head cutely to the side, making the boys around them blush. "But if I win." he walked up to her, lifting his hand, placing his index finger under her chin to make her face him. "You'll have to be a girlfriend."

The entire hall fell silent.

However, that only lasted for a second before roars of outrage erupted from the men around, some of the girls even. They found it unbelievable that a man would actually do such a thing, but it was Mochida, so they weren't that surprised really.

"You do know I'm blind, right?" Tsuna asked as she stepped away from the man.

Mochida just laughed.

"That's why I'm giving myself a handicap." he smiled at her. "I get to wear heavy armor that weigh me down, you don't get to, and you only have to get one point of me to win, while I'll have to lay three point to win." he looked down at her small figure. "Is that alright?" he didn't know that Tsuna knew what he had done to the sword she was going to use now did he?

"Alright." Tsuna muttered, rubbing the bridge of her nose.

Mochida smirked, so sure of his victory.

Tsuna turned away from the man.

"What kind of guy challenges a girl to get her?" she asked herself, shaking her head as she walked. "Oh, right, it's Mochida." she reminded herself.

"Let's get started." Mochida declared.

"NOT SO FAST!" Tsunako called, looking around the room for that familiar 'don't fuck with me' aura.

Found it.

"Hibari-sama!" she called, said young man looked up at the girl.

"I, Sawada Tsunako, beg the, Hibari Kyoya to please judge this mach instead of Mochida's club member." she bowed gracefully in the man's direction.

"What!?" Mochida exclaimed angrily as he stared wide eyed at the bowing brunette. "You can't do tha-"

"Very well Herbivore." the scariest yet handsomest guy in school said as he walked through the crowd of students, they parted in front of him like the red ocean. "I'll be the judge." he said, stopping next to the girl as he walked, he smirked at the way she bit her lip.

As Hibari took the flags away from the terrified Kendo club member, Mochida thought that he was still safe as long as her bamboo sword was heavier than two people could carry, but his thought stopped when the blind girl once again yelled something.

"Yamamoto-san!" said baseball star blinked as he pointed towards himself.

"Would you mind bringing me a sword?" she asked, trying to find the boy among the crowd. She knew he was there, just not where. "I have this strange feeling that the one Mochida wants me to use is far too heavy." just then, the two that had been carrying the sword dropped it, making it fall to the ground with a strangely loud noise.

After hearing the noise, Yamamoto grinned at the small girl and nodded, even though he 'knew' that she wasn't able to see him. "Sure Sawada-chan." he called, making the girl able to finally find him in the crowd. "Just you wait I'll be right back."

"How did she..?" Mochida asked himself, mentally fuming as he growled at how the angelic girl was somehow able to see through his plan, and was now changing it to her advantage. Who knew a blind girl could be so observant?

Yamamoto soon ran inside, the much lighter bamboo sword in hand as he approached the petite girl.

"Here you go." he said, handing her the thing.

"Thank you." Tsuna said as she allowed her hand to wrap around the swords handle.

"No problem Sawada-chan." Yamamoto said, patting her on the shoulder. "Good luck out there kay." he laughed, earning a smiled from the girl. He blushed at her cuteness.

Due to the fact that the boy's face still appeared to be blurry, Tsunako never caught his blush. She just bowed gratefully before she turned around towards her offender. "Alright." you could tell by the tone of her voice that she was slightly nervous. "Let's do this." her grip on her sword tightened as she took a step forward.

"Don't get cocky!" Mochida yelled as he charged at the girl.

Taking a deep breath, Tsunako closed her eyes, opening her senses to the world around her. She felt the air change not to far away from her and stepped to the side, succeeding in avoiding a blow from a pissed off Mochida.

"Why you!" Mochida growled as he charged at the girl once again, swinging his sword wildly as he did.

Tsuna allowed her sword to fall, kicking it to the side as she jumped backwards, bending her back she caught herself with her hands, throwing her legs up she kicked the boys sword out of his hands before landing safely on her feet not too far away from him.

The whole hall fell silent.

"Onii-chan." Kyoko muttered as she clutched her big brothers hand. "Do you think that's something all blind people can do?" she turned towards the extreme man.

"I don't think so Kyoko." the man answered. "I think that's something only extreme girls like Sawada can do."

Their attention returned towards the match.

"Woa." Hibari muttered with a smirk. He had known there was something special about that girl the second he laid eyes on her. He knew for a fact that she was blind, he had dragged her into the infirmary to check for himself when he had red her file, but no blind person is able to walk around the school with as much confidence as she did.

And now his theory had been proven.

Mochida on the other hand, stared at the girl with a disbelieving look.

He hadn't expected something like this. But she was still blind right?

He smirked to himself as he charged towards her as silently as he could, catching her off guard as he kicked her feet out from under her body, making her fall to the ground with a painful grunt and the sound of something braking.

Yamamoto's eyes widened.

"What did he just do?" he asked, his voice trembling with fear for the young girl.

"That, is so not fair!" Sawagawa Ryohei shouted as he noticed the petite girl squirming on the ground in obvious pain, but she didn't say anything.

She held it all in.

"This match, ends here!" Mochida stated as he brought his newly retrieved sword over his head, ready to strike the girl with as much power as he could master, no longer caring if he hurt her or not. He was to blinded by rage to do anything.

Just as the sword swooped down at her, Tsunako rolled out of the way, clutching her left wrist in her free hand.

"Don't try to get away!" Mochida stated, charging at her for the fourth time.

Tsuna got to her feet as fast as she could with only one good arm. Her eyes still shut she waited for the last moment before she jumped into the air, spun around while up there and delivered a powerful kick to the mans head, knocking him out cold.

Tsuna fell to the floor as well, panting as she tried to make the pain go away in her wrist.

From somwhere near, Reborn smirked at his student.

"She's already got some skill, I'll just have to get rid of the more fragile side of her." with that noted, he went home.

Back in the hall, Hibari smirked as he raised Tsuna's flag, cheers filled the room but Tsuna didn't notice any of this. The pain in her wrist was way to much for her to handle.

She had even started to cry.

Hibari just stared at the girl as four figures ran up to her.

Sasagawa Ryohei grabbed hold of Tsuna's shoulders to steady her while Yamamoto grabbed her injured wrist gently. Kyoko sat down beside the brunet, taking her good hand in hers while Hana stroked the girl over the forehead.

"You were extreme Sawada." Ryohei said with a surprisingly low voice.

"Thank god." Yamamoto said as he pulled out a piece of tape from his poket. "It's just a sprain, nothing broken." he wrapped the now swollen limb in the thing. "But we should get you to a hospital anyway."

"You were so brave Tsuna-chan." Kyoko smiled.

"You taught that creep not to mess with us girls." Hana smiled at the girl.

It was here that Tsuna remembered something, turning her head weekly to the side and was just able to spot the silver-haired silhouette before everything darkened for her.

Outside of the dojo, a young, sixteen year old boy, smoking a cigarette glared at the young girl who apparently just lost consciousness judging from the screams that could be heard from the people that were around her.

He blew out smoke, the cigarette safely between his index and middle finger.

"That's her eye?" he muttered. "Vongola Decimo candidate, Sawada Tsunako." he put the cancer-stick back between his lips. "What a weakling."

With that said, he walked away from the place, not wanting be be there for too long a period of time.

A/N: Please review and tell me what you think.

They keep me motivated to keep writing you know.
