That very same night Tsuna had been told "Congratulations Tsunayoshi. You've found the first of seven who will assist you. I will be visiting him in his sleep to prepare him for his job."

Tsuna had quietly asked "His Job?" and he had received an answer.

"Each of the seven you choose will be assigned a job that they are suited for. Reborn will be given what is referred to Holy Sun Flames. There are two types of Sun Flame. Holy Sun Flame and Earthbound Sun Flame. Holy Sun Flames will allow Reborn to heal you and your seven chosen as well as Spirits that have moved on. Earthbound Sun Flames are used to help Spirits that are not supposed to move on yet. The Earthbound Sun Flames heal what human doctors cannot so the Spirit can be put into its body and survive. Reborn will only be receiving the Holy Sun Flames as well as a watch made by me."

Tsuna nodded and asked "What will the watch do?"

"The watch will act as a timer for you. When Spirits have Leftover Business to take care of they are incapable of moving on and you will have a time limit in which to help them complete that business before someone else tries to take the Spirit for their own. The watch tracks this time limit."

"So Reborn is to be Timekeeper and our Healer?"

"Yes. I will be leaving now. Reborn needs to be informed."

Reborn had woken up the next morning with silver pocket watch with the kanji for 'beginning' carved delicately into the top in black while the kanji for 'ending' was on the back also in black. When he opened the watch the kanji for 'time' was written on the underside of the lid only this kanji was black outlined in gold. Reborn slipped it into his suit pocket and had then revealed his flames which were a soft sunset gold. He had turned to Tsuna and smirked telling him "Looks like you're stuck with me brat." Tsuna had smiled and nodded ignoring the shiver that wanted to escape at the look on Reborn's face.

They managed to pass the rest of the day without any issues and even managed to get through most of the following day. It was during school hours when he felt the call of a Spirit again. He stood from his place in the living room and turned headed out the door. Reborn had been waiting for him at the door holding his watch in one hand as he read the now moving clock hands.

Tsuna followed the pull towards his old school. He found the body of one Yamamoto Takeshi crumbled on the ground surrounded by panicking students. Tsuna was glad he was called to a Spirits side moments before they died as he worked his way to the dying boy and began to whisper softly to him. "Oh Yamamoto. Why would you end your life so soon? You had so much potential. And now…" he ran his hand through Yamamoto's hair the way his mother did for him when he needed comfort continuing to whisper to him as he passed.

Yamamoto had done it. He had jumped from the school roof. No one had actually tried to stop him. They had all yelled sure, but no one had tried. And he had jumped listening to the screams of the students before he hit the ground. Yamamoto had expected to die on impact but as he hit the ground there had only been painpainpain and the disjointed thought that I wasn't high enough filtered into his mind.

Yamamoto was sure he was going to die surrounded by screaming and crying people and in pain. Then he had heard the voice. The voice of the only student he had respected before he died. "Oh Yamamoto… Why would you end your life so soon? You had so much potential and now…"

Yamamoto felt shame for his action only then. As the boy who he knew had died saving a child, the boy who had been picked on and shoved around but had come back with a smile and his shoulders squared, asked him why.

He expected Tsuna to leave him then, but he felt a hand brush comfortingly through his hair and Yamamoto could feel as his troubles seemed to be brushed away with each time Tsuna's hand went through his hair. He found his unseeing eyes lowering as his body relaxed under the comforting motion and he whispered softly "I'm sorry…I disappointed you…Tsuna…" He felt the hand in his hair still for only a second before he head the whispered reply.

"It's okay."

And Yamamoto Takeshi passed from the world of the living.

When he opened his eyes he saw Tsunayoshi sitting next to him in-between himself and his body. "Tsuna!" he whispered his shock as he meant warm brown eyes.

"Yamamoto. I'm here to take you home…but I think you have someone to apologize too first."

Yamamoto stared at those brown eyes only a few seconds before he realized what he had done when he jumped. His mouth dried and his eyes widened as his whispered "What have I done?"

Tsuna was there a hand grabbing his own and pulling his attention from his horror as he answered "You made a mistake. Just like everyone else does. You made a mistake and you can't fix it but…I can help you with your Unfinished Business. It's part of my job after all. Let's go."

Yamamoto let Tsuna pull him forward towards his father's Sushi Bar. Yamamoto walked inside in a daze. His father hadn't crossed his mind while he had been standing on the roof. Yamamoto had been thinking of his problems when he jumped, it hadn't crossed his mind to think about who would miss him.

It was a horrible gut wrenching feeling to realize what he had left behind after his moment of weakness.

When Tsuna pulled on his wrist Yamamoto focused and he saw his father standing there preparing the sushi with sure quick swipes like always and he felt his heart move into his throat and he found that he couldn't swallow past the lump it made there nor could he stop the tears. He turned to face Tsuna almost blindly looking for the comfort Tsuna had provided him in his last moments and Tsuna looked back with sunset orange eyes and a flame on his forehead and hands before he placed himself at Yamamoto's right side and gripped his shoulder.

Yamamoto calmed enough to breathe past the lump in his throat and he felt the warmth of Tsuna's flames spreading from where his hand gripped his shoulder and Tsuna whispered "Go on."

Yamamoto took a deep breath before calling "Dad?" he watched his father whip around and upon catching sight of him drop the sushi knife in his hands. Yamamoto continued to cry even as he continued to speak "Dad…I am so sorry. I didn't think. I…Well…I broke under my problems." His father's hands shook and Yamamoto watched as his father leaned on the counter when he could no longer hold himself up "I jumped dad. I jumped because I was an idiot who didn't think of what I was losing when I made the choice. I know…" Yamamoto took a shaky breath and the tears fell faster "I know that doesn't make up for it, but…I made a mistake I can't fix and I am so very terribly sorry. I love you."

Tsuna faded into view behind Yamamoto and focused sharp eyes on Yamamoto's father who recognized Tsuna for who he was "I know this doesn't help much Yamamoto-san…but I can promise you I will take care of your son. I'm sorry, but we are out of time. If you want to say something to your son…you must speak now."

Tsuyoshi turned his eyes back to his son and he clenched his eyes to stop the tears. He did not want his son's last memory of him to be him breaking. "Oh Takeshi…I wish you had come to me…but you didn't…" he had to pause for a moment as he fought the tears back again "and I can't change the past. I love you. I hate that you…" Tsuyoshi could feel himself crumbling but he fought to keep from crying in front of his child. "died…but you have and I want you to know…" Tsuyoshi pulled on the Yamamoto grin as he continued "I am proud of you. Always and forever." He turned breaking eyes to Tsuna who was still visible at his son's shoulder "Take care of him Tsunayoshi. He…" Tsuyoshi couldn't continue but Tsuna understood.

"I will Yamamoto-san. I swear. It's time to go now."

Tsuyoshi watched as first Tsuna faded from his view and then his son faded from his sight. The last thing he saw was Yamamoto mouthing the words "I love you."

And then he was gone.

Yamamoto turned to face Tsunayoshi and Reborn with tears falling from his eyes and silent sobs trying to escape his lips. Tsuna guided Yamamoto out of the shop as he cried whispering softly to him. Yamamoto lifted his head to pin Tsuna with watery eyes and he whispered "Thank you for letting me say goodbye."

Tsuna shook his head "It was your Unfinished Business. I'm glad I could help you."

Yamamoto nodded "I wish I could repay you somehow though. Without you I never would have got the chance to say goodbye to dad."

Before Tsuna could tell him "You don't need to repay me for that." Reborn spoke up "There is one thing you could do."

Tsuna and Yamamoto both turned shocked looks to the man who was smirking. "REBORN!" Tsuna yelled "He doesn't need t-!"

"How?" Yamamoto interrupted

Reborn smirk turned triumphant. "Tsuna has been chosen by Kami to guide and protect the souls of the dead. He needs six others to help him."

Tsuna wordlessly gaped as Yamamoto wiped at still watery eyes that were now sharp and focused "How can I help?"

That was how Tsuna gained the second of seven.
