I'm still editing the other chapters. I've been trying to use my phone type since I need a new computer. Hasn't been working out since my notes keep getting deleted.

Anyway here's a new chapter for a late Valentine's Day gift. Which is not about Valentine'a Day, but it's progress.

Reborn: Disclaimer.

Yes I do not own KHR.

Chapter 9 part 2:

Up stairs in the Tsuna's room, the five year old passed time playing with Nastu. He puffed his mouth with a pout when he felt like Reborn wasn't going to come back for awhile.

'I'll just go now. He's taking to long.'

He hesitated going down stairs for a moment fearing Reborn would get really mad with him. Then he began thinking something bad may have happened.

'What if Reborn is in danger! Maybe some scary guys came back.' He began to panic and rushed out of the room. He nearly fell as he went down the stairs as fast as he possibly could. When he opened the door a single question popped into his head.

Why is there a boy cleaning the dishes?

His mom was preparing food and Giotto was helping her.

"Ah. Reborn you're alright." Tsuna turned to Reborn who was currently sitting down at the dining table with an apparent smirk on his face.

He turned to Tsuna face slightly twisting into scowl.

"Of course. Who do you think I am?"

"Hm. And I seem to remember telling you not to come, Dame-Tsuna."

"Ah...oh I was just...mm...really worried. Uh...and...never mind."

Reborn sighed and replied it was fine now. He got up from the table and flicked Tsuna on the forehead.

"You better listen next time." Tsuna winced and mumbled in response.

"Say it clearly." Reborn demanded.

"Yes, Reborn."

Then Tsuna remembered the boy who was cleaning the dishes, or rather struggling cleaning the dishes now that he looked closer. He could only see the back of his head at this current angle.

"Reborn." Tsuna whispered close to Reborn.

"Hm?"

"Who's he?" He pointed towards the black haired boy.

"Oh. Might as well introduce you guys. Oi, Xanxus." Reborn called.

"WHAT!" He turned away from his chore to face the other boy.

'Hiee! He seems scary.'

"Xanxus-kun. Inside voices." Nana hummed with subtle sternness hidden.

If you asked if Xanxus shuddered, he would have denied it. Reborn noticed it and smirked in remembrance.

Reborn walked in the kitchen after talking to Giotto. At that moment Nana was scolding Xanxus about manners and what not. Mama could be pretty scary when she wanted to be and the look on Xanxus face. He had never seen the boy with that expression even though he had seen Xanxus stand up to people twice his size. He was trying pretty hard to hide it but it was hard to fool him. Mama had then made Xanxus wash the dishes.

'I know I can handle Xansus, but Mama did praise worthy work.'

"Tsuna, This is Xanxus. My Cousin."

"Xanxus, this is Tsuna."

Tsuna uttered a meek hello and a small wave. 'Why is he looking at me like that.'

The boy had a scowl at the present moment. The boy just looked at him and turned back to work.

"Yeah. He doesn't take to well to people usually." Reborn said.

He grabbed Tsuna arm and pulled him out of the room.

"Listen. I don't want you by Xanxus when there's no one else around. Got that."

"Why?" Frankly, Tsuna wouldn't want to after seeing Xanxus look at him like that. But looks can be deceiving.

'Xanxus would get violent with people who would try to threaten home or people who just irritated him. I don't want to risk Tsuna getting hurt if he happens to get him mad.' Reborn thought.

"Just do what I tell you." Reborn turned to head back to the kitchen.

"Ah. Where's everyone else?" Tsuna just realized that his friends were no where to be seen.

"Oh. I sent them back home and Enma is with Cozart shopping." Giotto answered. 'It was rather hard to get rid of them.'

"Oh." Tsuna spirit deflated. 'I thought they would stay over and we could have fun.'

"Good thing too" Reborn added. If they were around I don't know how long it would have been before Xanxus exploded.

Giotto noticed Tsuna getting sad. "Don't worry. Enma is coming back to stay over."

Giotto smiled when he saw Tsuna immediately perk up.

"Alright boys. Food is ready." Nana chimed.

They began sitting down at the dinning table and Nana place down the food.

"Eat up there's plenty." And with that they dug in.

Tsuna noticed that while Xanxus had a neutral expression, he saw in a moment that he was really enjoying the food. Almost as if he was smiling in the inside. 'Mama does make the best food.'

Xanxus caught Tsuna staring and glared at him. Tsuna yelped inwardly and looked down at his plate.

Reborn noticed the exchange but continued eating.

...

Tsuna immediately went back to his room to avoid the scary spiky haired boy.

'I'll just listen to what Reborn said.'

He shuddered remembering how he glared at him.

'I didn't even do anything...Eh?'

"Oh Natsu. It's just you."

The little lion was rubbing against Tsuna's little, as if to comfort Tsuna.

He picked him up and Natsu began lick him.

"Haha..Natsu...stop. I'm alright." Tsuna giggled.

"Trash."

"Hah?" Tsuna froze hearing the voice of the boy he was commanded to stay away from.

"Did I stutter, Trash." He stated rather than question.

"Where's the room I'm sleeping at?"

"Oh um."

Xanxus looked around the room.

'It looks like a trashy brats room.'

"This your room?" He glared at the younger boy.

"Yes." Tsuna shrank.

"I'm taking the bed."

"But-."

"You got a problem with that."

Tsuna opened his mouth but the words never can out as he felt Natsu jump out of his arms. "Ah."

Natsu circled around Xanxus sniffing him.

'Natsu?'

He seemed satisfied for he stated to purr and rub against Xanxus.

"Trash, what is it doing?" Xanxus started to look uncomfortable.

"Oh. He's rubbing against to you. It means he likes you."

"I know what he is doing. Why is it doing this."

'Why?...Ah!...maybe.'

"Do you have a pet, Xanxus?"

"So what?"

"Maybe he knows that you're um kinda nice..."

"He thinks I'm nice. Seriously."

"He would know if people were nice or something."

'Did he smell my cat on me?'

Tsuna watched the changes in Xanxus expressions.

"I think you might be...a good person. Natsu likes you." Tsuna slowly said still slightly afraid the boy would snap at him. For all Tsuna knew he could only be good with animals.

"Tch. What ever. I'm gonna sleep."

"Wait. That's my bed and I share it with Reborn."

'I don't think Reborn would like this.'

Tsuna yelped when Xanxus grunted in annoyance.

"Oi. Dame-Tsuna. What's going on. Do you the things I tell you slip out the other way."

"Reborn. I didn't mean. I mean."

"Xanxus. Mama forgot Enma was staying in Tsuna's room too. You're sleeping in a guest room."

Xanxus just glared and stormed out of the room.

"That was lucky of you."

"Hm?"

"Most people irritate Xanxus and they would have a hard time reading him. He just can't express his 'feelings' well."

"Really?"

'Tsuna's pretty good at reading people for a normal kid. Actually. He's pretty special.' Reborn stared at Tsuna.

I've only know him for such a short amount of time yet...

"Wh-What? What's wrong."

"Hm. Nothing, Dame-Tsuna."

Nothing at all.

...
