D27: Oh, you get straight to the point, don't you? Well, I mean exactly as I say. You can see me, but I'm hidden. I'm right under your noses, but you don't know I'm there. You will never find me, for I am hidden in the best place: Plain sight.

Nono had to admit, with a statement like that, it was no wonder he was thought to be one of the smartest people in the world. Talk about confusing! If he was really RIGHT THERE, why wouldn't they be able to find him? Especially them (as in Nono and Reborn), the two best of the best, working together to find someone who is apparently right in front of them?!

Nono sighed. These thoughts would get them nowhere. Maybe they should track the signal now.

They began tracking the signal:

         Location: Ireland

'Really? That's, um... Weird. He says things like that and he's in Ireland. I don't know anyone in Ireland, do I?' Nono thought.

.....

Tsuna and Takeo walk back from school the next day, except instead of being basically emotionless, Tsuna had a grin. He couldn't help it; he just loved how confused he made Nono and Reborn. The precious night was filled with screams (from Takeo) and frustrated grunts (from Reborn) as Reborn most likely beat up his student. (Most likely.) The sounds, at least, were very comical and entertaining.

Hence, a grin. He kept this grin until a lady on a bicycle rode past. She stopped and took off her helmet, revealing long, pink hair. She threw a soda can to Takeo, who caught it with confusion. The lady said "You can take it if you want." She then rode away.

Bianchi. Bianchi was that lady's name; Tsuna remembered reading her file. She was the Poison Scorpion, and she could kill just about anything with her poison cooking.

Knowing this, Tsuna made it a point to "accidentally" walk into Takeo, causing him to drop the soda. "Watch where you're going Dame-Tsuna! Geez, that was a free soda, too." He turned and walked away, not noticing the bird that fell dead from the sky due to the poisonous fumes. Tsuna sighed.

Who was the real idiot here?

When they got home, Tsuna went straight to his room. It was a good thing he did, too, because shortly after they arrived, the doorbell rang. Tsuna came out of his room to see who was there, but stopped when he saw clouds of pink smoke. 'Haha, nope. Not going down there.' He thought as he returned to his room.

The next day when Tsuna and Takeo were walking to school (with Reborn and Takeo arguing), they saw Kyoko. Being the nice person she is, she decided to walk with them. "Good morning Tsuna-kun, Takeo-kun." she greeted.

Takeo was surprised to see her there, as she could be considered as his weakness. Tsuna, however, was still emotionless, but he waved. He let Takeo have his moment with Kyoko as they walked.

What? He might not like his brother, but that doesn't mean he didn't care. Most of the time.

.....

"We'll give the riceballs we made in home economics class today to you boys!" The girls in the class exclaimed. Chatter erupted in the room as the boys talked about who's riceballs they wanted to eat. Meanwhile, Tsuna and Gokudera stood at the back of the room.

"What a weird event." Gokudera said. Tsuna nodded his head in response. They saw Kyoko making her way towards them, or more specifically, towards Tsuna. Before she could get to him, though, Bianchi suddenly appeared and looked at Tsuna as if to say "Sorry about this." while switching Kyoko's riceballs with her own poisonous ones.

Tsuna snickered silently. He knew she meant for Takeo to eat them, so Reborn could go back to Italy. Should he turn Kyoko down?

"Tsuna-kun? Do you want these?" Kyoko asked him. He sheepishly put a hand behind his head. With his other hand, he signalized for her to 'Wait a moment'. He got out a piece of paper, and wrote: Sorry, I can't accept. I don't feel that well today. Why don't you ask my brother?

"Oh. I hope you feel better!" she said with a smile.

He just did Bianchi a BIG favor.

Across Takeo smirked. He didn't have to eat that poisonous crap, because No-Good Tsuna wouldn't notice. He's an idiot, after all. His smirk fell when he saw Kyoko smile, turn away from his brother and walk towards him. "Hi, Takeo-kun! Do you want these?"

Chaos ensued.

Chaos.

.....

Tsuna cringed as he listened to the yelling coming from the next room. Surely it was his brother reacting to the shock of having Bianchi as a part time tutor. He already knew of course. Why, you ask? Obviously the answer is eavesdropping.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. "Oi, No-Good Tsuna, get that!"

Tsuna sighed as he obediently got up to get the door. He opened it, and saw Gokudera with a...

Watermelon. Yep. He randomly shows up with a watermelon. But wait, Bianchi is also here. They ARE siblings (even if only half-siblings); this could get interesting.

Bianchi came down the stairs. "A-aneki!" Gokudera yelled in surprise. He doubled over in pain. Tsuna looked concerned and amused at the same time, if possible.

"He's always like that. Strange boy." Bianchi stated as Tsuna started dragging Gokudera out the door. He made it to the nearby park before giving up. When Gokudera started to regain consciousness, he told Tsuna about his history with his sister, which Tsuna already knew. Somewhere in the middle of the story, Tsuna had the feeling they were being watched. He looked to the treeline just in time to see the edge of a gray hat disappearing into the forest. He would need allies, wouldn't he? Even worse, his allies would need to know his other identity.

.....

Uomo Grigio grinned as he slipped back into the treeline. Tsuna had seen him, or sensed him, or whatever. The point is, he knew he was there. That was the goal, though.

His own personal mission, as an addition to the one he was already doing, was to go to Namimori personally, in his obviously amazing homemade gray costume, and make him feel as if he really needed the allies.

His personal mission wasn't going to well so far. Either Tsuna was already aware of the future, or Grigio was just really bad at this. Grigio was willing to bet the latter. He just wasn't actually very intimidating by nature. The only thing he really had going for him was his brain.

His laptop made a dinging sound. He sat on the ground. Leaning against a tree, he opened his laptop and started typing.

Pesca: We have a job for you.

And? What is it?

Pesca: We want you to kill the Tenth Vongola.

Aw, wouldn't that be too rushed?

Pesca: It's fine if it's rushed.

You're no fun.

Pesca: We aren't trying to have fun, we're trying to assassinate the Decimo.

Where's you're boss?

Pesca: Wait, how did you know I wasn't the boss?!

I didn't. You just said you weren't. I only accept missions from the boss of the famiglia. I can't take this mission.

Pesca: You aren't that great, are you?

Try saying that again and I can guarantee death by tomorrow.

Pesca: Geez, fine.

They're all idiots! He couldn't believe how many of the Mafia famiglia's were complete and total morons! Also, why couldn't they understand that he doesn't. Take. Kill-jobs.

His cellphone rang. "Hello?" he answered it.

He held the phone about a foot away from his ear. Wow, could she yell up a storm. Of course his mom would call in the middle of a mission. Obviously. "Where are you?!" Was about all he heard.

"I'm doing something important right now!"

"Young man," he blocked her out. Something about not being home when he was supposed to. His stomach started to churn in response to the yelling. This seemed to be a recurring reaction. "Just be home by six." And she hung up.

Stupid overbearing mothers.

.....

Miura Haru watched as the baby walked by. She saw that baby and the two older boys everyday! She loved the baby; he was so cute! She didn't mind the boys either, but she was mostly focused on meeting the baby (who's name she found to be Reborn). Before they could all go past, she jumped on the wall where Reborn was walking.

Takeo looked at her in surprise. Tsuna stared blankly. "Hi! I'm Miura Haru!"

Reborn replied, "Oh. I know about you. You're from this house, right?" He pointed to the house they were stopped by.

"Would you be my friend?" she asked.

"Sure." Reborn answered. Haru looked so excited; she flipped off the wall and landed on the ground.

"Woohoo!" she yelled. It took all Tsuna had to not burst out laughing.

She hugged herself, and asked Reborn, "Can you hug me like this?"

Reborn's response, "Don't touch me so easily, 'cause I'm a hitman."

Needless to say, after he said that, Haru flipped out. "You bastards!! What are you teaching him?! Assassination techniques?!" She yelled.

"What?" Takeo asked, being sort of confused. Tsuna just put his hands up in an 'I surrender' fashion and walked to school.

"Oi! No-Good Tsuna! Don't leave me here! You stay here and let me go instead!" Takeo ordered.

He looked back with cold eyes. 'What you just said isn't going to help you with your problem.' Tsuna thought. He shook his head, signalizing he would not obey, and left.

As he walked, he could hear Haru's screams. "NOT ONLY DID YOU RUIN A BABY'S PURE HEART, YOU BULLY YOUR BROTHER, TOO?! YOU'RE THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD!"

.....

The gray clad teen (but not currently gray clad) laughed as he watched the girl scream at the kid's brother from behind a building. It was quite funny, actually. If they only knew what the kid was involved in...

They would be in for a big shock.

But first he had to get to school.

.....

The next day, they were walking to school again, as per usual. The twins were about to cross the bridge, but Haru came up behind them in a very peculiar outfit. She wore what looked like armor, a motorcycle helmet, and held a hockey stick. She begged Takeo for a match.

Tsuna was apprehensive about letting her fight Takeo, but it was her choice, not his.

Gokudera just happened walk by. What he saw was a girl attacking his precious "future Juudaime" and his current (in process of being trained) Decimo. So being the kind of person he is, he used his dynamite to blow up the railing on the bridge.

With the new hole in place, Haru fell and landed in the water below. "The armor... is too heavy... and I can't swim!" she yelled for help.

Takeo smirked and walked away as he said, "You got what you deserved, trying to attack like that."

Tsuna narrowed his eyes at his brother before turning to dive into the river. He swan over to where Haru was, and helped her get the armor off, making it easier to carry her to shore.

They climbed up to the stairs to get back onto the bridge. Gokudera came racing down said stairs. "Juudaime, are you alr-"

"So heroic..." Haru interrupted Gokudera. Tsuna looked at her with a confused face. "You seem like the strong and silent type! I think... I think I can say Haru is in love with Tsuna!" She exclaimed.

Tsuna probably only looked more confused, partly because she talked in third person. "You're not going to say anything back?" Haru asked, looking a little hurt.

Gokudera talked for him. "He can't answer you. He's mute."

'Is what they think.' Tsuna thought. He slowly smiled at Haru. She could probably either be a big problem or a huge asset. Either way, she would probably count as a great friend.
