7. Cupid's Aim

Just when Lambo was starting to run out of options, he found Tsuna and Reborn training together. He almost kicked himself for not thinking about it sooner. Not only was Tsuna a great mafia boss, he was also engaged to Kyouko.

"Tsuna, Tsuna!!" he yelled, excitedly. Tsuna stopped in his place and turned towards his youngest Guardian.

"Lambo, you're just in time!" Tsuna grabbed a towel from the chair in the corner and wiped his face with it. "We were about to take a break, weren't we Reborn?" The hitman just shrugged.

"That's good, 'cause I've got a really important question I need to ask you."

"Are you talking about your stupid love issues?" Reborn spoke up before Tsuna could reply. Lambo grumbled under his breath and wished he still carried his grenades on him.

"It's not stupid, stupid!" He may have been almost eighteen, but Reborn always brought out the immaturity in him. Tsuna stepped in between them before the fighting could escalate any further.

"What did you want to ask me about?" He smiled apologetically. Lambo could always be calmed with one of Tsuna's smiles.

"How did you end up engaged to Kyouko?" Tsuna blushed nervously and Reborn barked out a laugh.

"Well, the truth is, I don't really know." Tsuna admitted reluctantly. "Stuff just sort of happened."

"Nothing would have happened at all if it hadn't been for me." Reborn piped up. Tsuna chuckled nervously.

"Well, you didn't really help me that much, Reborn." Lambo hated to ask Reborn for help, but he was desperate and even the thought of ending up like Tsuna and Kyouko was worth the ridicule.

"What did you do to help Tsuna get the girl?" Lambo asked. Reborn grinned and pulled out his old Dying Will gun.

"I shot him with a Dying Will bullet." Lambo paled. "Then he chased after her with his dying will."

"Yeah, but she thought I was a pervert, Reborn!" Tsuna laughed, not noticing Lambo's discomfort. "It was a month before Kyouko would even speak to me again. I doubt Lambo wants to be shot and embarrassed in front of the girl he likes by being forced to run after her in his underwear."

Lambo couldn't agree more with Tsuna. He liked I-Pin a lot, but he didn't think letting Reborn shoot him was the way to go. Knowing the hitman, he would use the wrong bullets anyways and Lambo would die long before he was able to confess to the girl.

There had to be another way.

Most of the world seemed to do just fine without the mafia bullet, so until he was completely out of options, he would stay away from Reborn and his gun. He didn't want to give Reborn the satisfaction of shooting Lambo for fun either.
