Chapter 2: Mafia Boss?

"Mom, let me get this straight. What's this about a baby and a tutor." Tsuna asked the moment he enter the house with Reborn following him. No greetings or whatsoever. He needs to know now. He still can't forget what happened earlier.

Flasback

"Reborn and I'm here to tutor you and train you to be a mafia boss." The baby introduced as he also held out his hand.

Tsuna froze. Did he just hear him right? Mafia boss? "What... did you just say?" He asked trying to confirm it.

"I don't repeat what I say Dame-Tsuna."

This time, Tsuna twitched. How many years has it been the last time he heard that nickname? 9 years? 10 years? Well, it doesn't matter. It's a fact that he's not a dame anymore. "My apologies, Reborn-san, was it? But as you can see, I'm not a dame as you say I am."

But Reborn didn't back down from their little verbal fight. For him, it's quite fun to tease the brunet. And it seems like he doesn't want to be called Dame-Tsuna for a reason. There's still many secrets to reveal within this boy. "But Dame-Tsuna is still Dame-Tsuna. You even let your prefect mess your papers earlier."  He taunted and just like he assumed, Tsuna, though unnoticeable, is shaking.

"Dame-Tsuna will always be Dame-Tsuna."

Tsuna cringed when a part of his memory played on his mind. Of all things, it has to be that one. 'Come on Tsuna. Calm down. It's already in the past. You are not what you used to be.' He then took a deep breath. "Is that so? Oh wait, why am I even talking to you?" He stood up and pinched the bridge of his nose. "The perks of being the president. I'm talking to a baby who speaks of mafia so casually. I really should go to a psychiatrist"

Then suddenly, he felt something was about to attack him. He felt that he should move to the right and so he did. And at that moment, he saw Reborn flew past him and caught him.

Reborn never felt this annoyed before. He was the greatest hitman. How dare a mere brat dodge his attack? Moreover, caught him as if he is a baby. Reborn shadowed his eyes with his fedora. A dark aura surrounding him. He's going to pay.

Tsuna blinked at the baby in front of him as he felt the atmosphere getting colder. Is he angry? It's not his fault for dodging it. When he was always in danger, he always felt something to the point that he already trusted it.

"Let me go." Reborn growled as he wiggled his way out of Tsuna's hold.

Tsuna flinched and complied. Judging from experience, it's better to listen than going to the person's bad side. Though it doesn't mean that he will not listen to his 'feeling' anymore. "So, what now? Do you expect me to believe what you just said?" 

"You have no choice Dame-Tsuna." Reborn said, his eyes still shadowed by his fedora.

Tsuna rolled his eyes. Bothered by the name again. "Will you please stop calling me that?" Then at that moment, the school bell rang signalizing the end of lunch. Tsuna sighed. "I'll deal with you later with mom. I can't believe I just sacrificed my precious lunch time for you." And with that, he walked away leaving Reborn behind.

And Reborn, though he was still annoyed, he can't shake that feeling of excitement inside of him. With his student already achieved what he should not, he can't wait to torture him.

End

Back to the present, Nana stared at her son and smiled. "Oh! So you already met Reborn! Isn't it wonderful Tsu-kun? He said he will tutor you for free just give him meals and a place to stay. " She chirped at her son, but she knew better.

"Mom, you of all people should know that I don't need a tutor. My grades are perfectly fine. And I don't want to be tutored by a baby." Tsuna grumbled. He really can't believe his Mom just hired a baby for a tutor.

Reborn, who was silently listening to their conversation, finally decided to butt in when he heard the baby insult again. "I'm not a baby Dame-Tsuna." But this just made Tsuna snap.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that name?!" He shouted causing Nana to stare wide eyed at him. He soon realized what he had done and excuse himself to his room.

"Mama?" Reborn tried to comfort Nana but she shook her head and smiled despite her tears falling.

"Please take care of Tsu-kun."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Tsu-kun, Papa will be gone for a while. Take care of your mother for me."

"And I just made a mess down there..." Tsuna sighed as he slumped onto his bed. He closed his eyes as he remembered the day his father left him with his mother. It wasn't the best memory he had after seeing his mother cry for days. He promised himself not to let that happen again.

Standing up, he took his phone and called his so-called genius friend. After a few rings, someone finally answered.

"Hello?"

"Ah! Shoichi!! Hope I'm not disturbing you."

"Tsunayoshi-kun! No, you're not disturbing me. So what's up?"

"Do you have any news?"

"Let's see... Apparently, he's still in italy and that's all I can get. There's a strong security preventing me from getting information. I'm sorry."

"No! It's okay! Thanks for the information!! Bye." Tsuna then hang up and placed his phone back to where it belong. That's where he caught a glimpse at a paper on the wall. He smiled softly. He'll definitely complete his goal. "Someday, I'll definitely teach you your mistake. I'll prove to you that I can do what you can't." He was about to lay down when the door opened.

"Then why don't you become a mafia boss?"

'Oh yeah, there's still him.' "What are you doing here?" Tsuna asked not facing the baby.

"Mama said dinner is ready. I'm also here to explain about you being a mafia boss." Reborn casually said as he walked towards the brunet.

Tsuna frowned as he sensed Reborn. He doesn't like where their conversation is going. "I'm not hungry and I'm definitely not going to be a mafia boss. You don't need to explain." He replied as he sat over at the edge of his bed.

Reborn followed and sat beside Tsuna. "I told you, you don't have a choice." He said but got no reaction from Tsuna so he continued. "Nono's sons got killed mysteriously. Primo, your great-great-great-great-grandfather, moved to japan after the conflict with Secondo. And you know the rest. That means, you are the only heir left."

Tsuna still didn't move. Reborn was about to go out when Tsuna suddenly asked. "What famiglia?" Curiousity had gotten through him. It won't be that bad.

"Vongola Famiglia." Reborn answered as he smirked but he didn't miss how narrow Tsuna's eyes are.

Tsuna clenched his fist. Of all famiglia, of all problem he'd gone through, why the hell did he have to be involve with Vongola? That name who had put his family in danger countless of times. "I refuse. My decision is final. I won't be a mafia boss. Not now. Not ever."

"I'll still make you one wheter you refuse or not. That's my mission." Reborn said though he wonders what had made the brunet so angry?

"Try me." Tsuna growled and began covering himself with the blanket. "Now will you please excuse me. I still have to wake up early tomorrow." What trouble is he going to face again?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Reborn woke up to began torturing the brunet only to find his bed empty. The brunet wasn't kidding when he said he's going to wake up early. It's 5:00 am in the morning. He couldn't possibly go to school. Reborn decided to go down when he sensed someone in the kitchen. He peeked and saw the brunet cooking. He raised an eyebrow. Just how many talents does this kid have? "I didn't know you could cook."

"Now you know." Tsuna sarcastically said as he continued cooking.

Reborn on the other hand went and sat on one of the chairs at the table. From there he could see what Tsuna is cooking. Eggs and bacon. A typical breakfast but for him there's still something missing. "Make me an espresso." He ordered and before he knew it, an espresso was in front of him plus the eggs and bacon. He looked at Tsuna who just shrugged and sat across him.

They ate in silence. Only the clattering of untensils can be heard. And Reborn, as much as he hate to say it, the brunet can cook. He's very picky about foods and drinks but the brunet has met his standard. Well, it's not like he's going to announce it. After eating, Reborn just watched Tsuna as he washed the dishes and made some breakfast for his mother, when he asked.

"So you are the student council president?" He got a nod from Tsuna. "How?"

"I don't want it at first but my friends practically forced me into it. And before I knew it, I won." He explained in which Reborn frowned. He wanted a detailed explanation. Maybe the brunet is still angry at him? Wait, why does he have to worry.

"Are you going to school now?" He asked again and got another nod. Now he's just going to stalk him for a while.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Tsuna sighed as he walked towards school. He just know Reborn is somewhere behind his back. "Reborn, you can just come out you know." He said.

Reborn, just as he thought, jumped from behind and hopped onto his head. "Ciaossu."

They continued to walk until they reached their destination. It was perfectly fine until one student approached Tsuna.

"Seitokaichou!!!" The student shouted.

Tsuna turned and smiled but seeing the student catching his breath and a little nervous, his smile faltered. "Yes?"

"M-mochida-senpai is a-asking you for a c-challenge."
