Disclaimer: Decevingly Cute does not own Hitman Reborn! (Do not mind my 'creative' pen-name)

A/N: Enjoy...or not... my first fic!

Have you ever heard of the term 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.'?

Well then, what do you do when Life gives you a Sadistic Hit man Baby as a home tutor who is hell-bent on making your life miserable?

My answer…. Go with the flow while wondering what atrocity you have caused in the past to call for such a curse...

(Or, blame Life. It's cruel like that.)

I had wondered how I got to this point...for countless times...

Not that I had came to a solid conclusion...*ahem*

But now I'm being rude.

So, without future nonsense, to begin introduce myself…

Hi, I'm just an ordinary girl with wallflower tendencies and a certified introvert who is somewhat sarcastic, living an ordinary peaceful life in ordinary Japan with a peaceful ordinary (Until recently) household with a lovable clumsy twin brother and an air-headed (But lovable all the same) mother just trying to live our lives as normal as normal can be.

Care to answer how I was somehow caught up in a life filled with sadistic trigger happy hit-man babies (Who have such SHINEY pacifiers!) a shape-shifting chameleon weapon pet, walking yet lovable time bomb bad boy/puppy, happy-go-lucky baseball player/ swordsmen who go "Ahahahah!" all the time, time traveling bazookas that where impossible (Until it was…possible I guess?) Purple food that will send you to heaven with one bite and a bullet which kills then revives you practically naked with a flame on your head with the words MAFIA NOT USUALLY FOUND ON TV stamped over in block red letters?

I'm getting ahead of myself now.

You'll understand when I start explaining this rather tragic tale. (Yes, its Tragic. Live with it.)

So I will start telling you my story (If you care to listen anyway) and begin with a name.

I am Sawada Tsukiko, the Twin Sister of Vongola Decimo, Sawada Tsunayoshi and this is my story.

….

Dammit, that intro sucked.

...

Why am I doing this again...?

It all began on a seemingly innocent morning. The sky was starting to brighten, the Sun's rays peeked in from under the horizon highlighting the floating clouds, hiding night for a little while as the Moon and Stars hid in it's bright rays, and the birds started stirring and taking flight into the cool morning air, chirping their own song.

It was the mark of a glorious day!

…

Not.

"Tsu-chan? Wake up Tsu-chan!" Sawada Nana's melodic voice floated into a room from outside the door as she knocked on the paper-thin excuse of a wooden door, loud and clear to the bundle of blankets on the bed. The room was neat, and not a single mess was obvious, and the table was clear of books and the like while a plain oaken wardrobe stood to the side, sparsely decorated by a few small childish stickers pinning up a picture, just at the foot of the bed. A stack of manga was stacked precariously just under the bed though, all belonging to the same series and stacked in numerical order, the numbers in ascending order. "Tsu-chan?"

In response to her voice, the small bundle moved a little more, before a head of brown caramel poked out sleepily from under the covers, the hair a huge mess of spikes and tangles as she looked around sleepily, brown eyes shining slightly blue as it caught the Sun's Rays. She moved her hand in her daze, unwittingly sending it over the edge ans she tumbles down in a yelp, crashing onto the floor on her chin.

Her bolster plops down a second later, not missing a beat.

This, if you hadn't guessed, was Sawada Tsukiko, A.K.A Yours Truly.

And what was the first thing I said that morning?

"...Oww."

It was an 'oh so' intelligent answer to my mom. Sue me.

Giggles could be heard through my poor excuse of a door…It could have been made out of paper, what with how I could practically hear people breathing right outside (I'm kidding.) "Tsu-chan, did you fall again?" she laughed good-naturedly like all mothers did when their child did something amusingly silly, like choke on their juice and spewing it on their sibling or something; while I blearily glanced around my bedroom, my chin stinging painfully as I shook my head, my hair swishing around and most-likely stuck up in random angles. "You have to be careful!" Way to show your concern, mom.

"...If my bed somehow grew a few more inches, I would." I spoke; mostly to myself as I rubbed my sore jaw, then I did my standard thing "...Good morning Okaasan!" I called slightly louder, with a slight lisp from the pain in my jaw.

I blame Gravity. Gravity is always the blame for something. Like how we are unable to fly.

That would be cool, to be able to fly.

What the hell am I thinking so early in the morning?!

Mom giggled again, before her soft footsteps (That I saw as a shadow through the crack under my door, I'm not super human, nor was I part cat.) led away down the hall, most likely heading towards my twins room to wake him up.

I grumbled to myself on how mom should buy me a bigger bed (Though I secretly didn't want to toss out the bed I currently have. Call me fickle, but that's how I am.) As I wrestled with the covers that somehow ensnared my legs, tugging on fabric that was still warm with body heat off as I waved it around in victory.

Then, I decided to take a peek at the cat themed clock that was a gift from Tsuna many years ago.

...

THE HELL I'M LATE!

….

Hibari's gonna kill me!

Yep, it was a great way to start off the morning.

Glorious day my ass.

It was when while I trudged down the stairs after scrambling for my Namimori-Chuu uniform (The girly-est thing in my wardrobe, unfortunately.) and flailing around with it in some sort of demented wrestling match for a good five minutes (After sticking my arm where my head should be.) and hastily brushing back my hair (More like attacking it with my brush and slipping on a white scrunchie for a messy low pony) Before I stumbled down the stairs almost falling to my doom a couple of times with my bag in tow as I hoped on a foot for some reason, scrambling so I could still snag our bento boxes (Because Tsuna always forgot) and some form of breakfast while I tried to smooth down my uniform with my bag in tow was when Fate decided to set up my first meeting with….the Lord of all Spartans himself.

"Ciaossu!'

In the form of an adorable baby dressed in a black suit and tie with polished leather shoes with a fedora covering spiky raven hair with a cute green little lizard resting on the brim of it, a shining yellow pacifier stuck to his tiny chest while he stood there looking at me with huge polished ebony ovals for eyes set in his cute chubby face thus framed by extremely curly sideburns.

I'm not joking… those WHERE FREAKING CURLY SIDEBURNS this baby had, I tell you!

"…." I stared at the unusual sight, my face utterly blank save for a small twitch of my eye in disbelief as my foot hovered in mid step (Read stomp), looking down at the infant who spoke to me (Since there was no one else.) and was standing firmly on the ground with no obvious wobble from weak calf muscles or something, still staring at me with those huge glimmering eyes of his.

This… was a scene not normally seen in the usual monotony and boring life of one Sawada Tsukiko.

So I handled it with what I thought was the correct and most appropriate form of action to take.

"…" I continued to stare at it in questioning gaze, slightly unnerved by the little infant that was standing there in all his smartly dressed glory, before I twitched slightly, not knowing how to react "...Um….." I then began awkwardly, not know how to talk to a baby as I glanced around awkwardly as hoping that some sort of sign from someone up there (Uhhh…hello?) would send some sort of help.

Someone up there ignored me. Pointedly, should I add. And I grind my teeth, looking back at the infant.

Oh come on! I can't even socialize with normal people because they think I'm a bitchy introvert (Dammit stereotypes!) while I think of them as stuck up snobs (Okay, that's kinda my fault.)! I have horrible...no...NO SOCIAL SKILLS AT ALL! How am I going to talk to this weird talking baby?!

And he seemed to be waiting for my response... What to do, what to do, what to-

"Hieee!"

-do?

I snapped my head towards the sound, and my slightly half-lidded eyes due to sleep (And thinking that a the talking baby was but a funky dream person, because it was just impossible, Dammit!) snapping open wide as I watch a brown blur falling directly in my line of sight at high speed.

Cue me becoming a landing pad to the clumsiest person in Namimori, and, my lovable twin who was the only one with such a unique and girly... squeal, Sawada Tsunayoshi.

My bag was the reason I survived.

Bag, I salute you on your duty of protecting me from my early grave.

"Itaii~!" Tsuna whimpers, rubbing his head with a hand and fluffing his already fluffy brown hair, a darker shade to my caramel brown, as small orbs of tears appeared at the corners of his tightly closed large doe like eyes typical of a gir-boy…I meant to say boy eyes, most likely berating himself (Unkindly, should I add.) over his clumsiness that was an all too common yet lovable trait of his.

Still, it's not nice being sat on by your own sibling "…Nii-san, get off please." I stated simply, but not unkindly as I sighed inwardly seeing as he did not look too damaged from the fall, while outwardly looking back at him still with my blank-ish look slapped onto my face like a mask while I laid there crushed under him, my head cradled comfortably in my bag.

One day, my bag will mean the difference between life and death.

Trust me.

" Eehhh! Tuski!?" Tsuna exclaimed in a panicked tone, before jumping off me and standing while waving his hands in front of his face in some sort of weird ritual dance… or something as I watched him with amusement and quickly picked myself up, brushing imaginary dust off my uniform, trying not to giggle at how cute he was as he started to blush as I slapped my emotionless mask on.

Because I wanted to still preserve his somewhat already depleted manliness.

That's how much I love him.

And because giggling like a girl (Please do not mind that I, am a girl too) was not like me.

But before he could spout apologizes (That I would brush off and mumble state it was not his fault and I was perfectly fine because I had Bag-kun before I would pat him on the head while checking him for bruises.), the baby cut into our first 'bonding' session of the day "So, you're Tsuna?" He inquired, the question quickly getting our attention just as I was reaching over to him.

Both of us snapped out heads back at the infant simultaneously, with Tsuna looking at it incredulously while I had a slightly annoyed, yet mostly unchanged expression tacked on.

"Well, yea I'm Tsuna." My twin declared, looking down at the little infant with an arched brow before deciding to plop down on his backside so he could take a closer look, confusion evident in his eyes as I decided to accompany him to the floor, shuffling closer to his warmth (The morning was cold. I swear!) as I eyes the baby wearily.

Breakfast could wait; I wanted to know what is the deal with this weird baby is now.

The baby smiled, and admittedly, the weird baby looked kind of cute "Starting from today I'll be looking after you." The baby stated in his squeaky voice in all seriousness, and even then it was… pretty much unnerving to hear a baby speak so fluently when they're supposed to be...uh...not even aware of their own existence or something?

"Wait, who is this baby?" Tsuna ignored what the baby had just said as he voice out his thoughts, looking towards me with a pointed look. "Did you accidentally order one of those dolls again…?"

"…." I looked back innocently, hopping he didn't pry too much to know that I might have blown off tons of cash for my own selfish needs (A.K.A Manga). Hey, introverts with wallflower tendencies have needs normal needs too, you know. Like food. And air. We are still human...ish...? Ehehehehe..."...No…." I trailed off ,sounding like I simply do not care, and I looked hastily to the side.

"Don't worry, Dame-Tsuna." The infant piped up again, also reaffirming that he was not a mere doll, quickly breaking our silent exchange as we both looked at the baby with confusion swirling around in our heads and new found curiosity. "How did you know my name?" Tsuna said in a slightly disturbed tone (Infants should not BE like THIS!) while I watched the baby from my seat on the ground, observing him.

Something was off about him. He knew waayyyy too much to simply be considered simply prodigious.

The infant looked at Tsuna as if he asked a really, really dumb question, as dumb as 'Is Earth the center of the Universe?' in this current age "Gathering information is a basic skill, Dame-Tsuna." He spoke simply, as if trying to teach an extremely slow child on how to solve the equation 1+1, and One was one, and two and...all that...

Tsuna huffed, slightly miffed that a child… a baby was making fun of him. I mean… it was a baby! Babies should NOT TALK LIKE SOME PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS MAN. OR AN INFORMATION BROKER. "Stop saying 'Tsuna, Tsuna' like you're some big shot." My twin totally disregarded the fact the baby actually added Dame- in front of his name twice. "I have a real name, and it's Sawada Tsunayoshi! I don't want to be called 'Tsuna' by some baby like you!"

Not bad Tsuna, having confidence in yourself to be able to put down your rights.

Unfortunately for him, the baby apparently disliked being sassed back to, and he delivered a swift roundhouse to my twin, square in the face, the force of the kick making a small whipping wind pass my face by a few centimeters as I winded my eyes, looking to the side as Tsuna hissed in pain, both of us barely having enough time to acknowledge the attack as the baby's foot was back on the ground, hands in pockets.

I spazzed inwardly as I quickly looked at the welt, and reached out to Tsuna's cheek and rubbed soothingly at it, looking tensely at the baby that was smiling (Smirking. It showed PURE UNADULTERATED EVIL. For a fraction of a second.) like he did nothing wrong as Tsuna managed to peel open one eye at the baby, trying to give him an angry glare that looked a little pathetic. Wait...it was pretty much pathetic. "W-why did you do that?!" He accused as I rubbed his cheek, and he hissed slightly in pain.

That was when our mother, the brunette with chocolate locks of short hair and a kind look on her face descended down the stairs in a leisurely pace and joined her children in the peculiar scene unfolding within the supposedly peaceful morning in the Sawada Household. "Ara?" She gasped lightly, noting the baby right away, ignoring both us twins for the moment. Can't exactly blame her on that, cuz, ya know, Talking Baby and all that? In a fedora? "Where did you come from little boy?" She questioned the baby in black, most likely worried for the little kid and his parents.

If I was my mom, I would have toss him outta the house while proclaiming "ALIEN! DIE! CHILD ABUSER!" should I feel that I could sacrifice the use of my vocal chords.

But I wasn't, so the baby in black didn't get tossed out while being accused as an alien.

Said baby in black turned his attention towards my mother, reaching a small hand into his suit and shuffled a little, preparing to pull something out "I'm…" the baby started, and revealed the item he was fishing for, a small business card of sorts with the words 'Home Tutor Reborn' printed out neatly in black ink "… A home tutor, Reborn." He ended his simple introduction as I peered at the small card with a tilt of my head, Tsuna's injury forgotten for the unique sequence of events.

Silence suddenly descended.

Silence then ascended.

That practically made no sense, brain.

"Home tutor...Reborn?" My mother parroted uncertainly, finding the situation a little too odd, even for someone so usually air-headed. Another short round of silence doing its descend and ascend thing passed before both of my family members decided to laugh at the pure audacity of the situation at hand while I just stared, disbelieving.

I mean...Baby...?

I don't even wanna try anymore.

"Don't make me laugh, you're just a baby!" Tsuna managed to gasp out between his laughter as he moved to hold his stomach, tears forming at the corners of his eyes "Ah, my stomach hurts." He gaped, still laughing.

Not liking being sassed twice, 'Reborn the Home Tutor Baby' lifted up one of his legs in preparation to smack Tsuna on the head to silence him, and not liking watching my twin get hit twice, I tackled said Twin down as Reborn made his move, his foot colliding with my head, forcing my forehead to meet with the ground.

I swore I saw stars and baby carrots chased by baby rabbits floating about. Please refrain from questioning my questionable sanity"….Owww…" I whined, feeling a headache coming on as I lay there on the ground again.

What was it with me and floors today?

Oh, hello floor again.

"Tsukieeee!" Tsuna exclaimed, merging my name with his usual 'Hieee!' as he saw my predicament while I dragged myself off the floor, rubbing my forehead, which was most likely sporting a large red welt as well as the back of my head "What was that for!" He exclaimed, slight anger seeping into his tone as he pointed at Reborn with 'The Finger of Accusation'...

I think Reborn hit me too hard, I'm rambling in my mind.

Wait, I ramble all the time.

Reborn shrugged "It had been for you. It's her fault for getting in the way." He stated with a small smirk.

I sweatdroped at his casual tone, and I decided that this was one weird baby. With sadistic tendencies.

I had a bad feeling about it.

Before Tsuna could explode (Hopefully not literally, it would DEVASTATE ME. But then I'll have a legit excuse to strangle Reborn...hummm), our mom cut in "My Tsu-chan, are you alright?" She asked in concern, before she quickly remembered what started this whole thing "Oh! Tsu-kun, Tsu-chan, you both better hurry or you will be late!"

Well, shit.

"That's right!" Tsuna yelled as he leapt to his feet, with me doing the same (Huh.) as I sidestepped the baby and entered the kitchen "We shouldn't be paying attention to this baby!" he yelped as he dashed up the stairs, miraculously getting ready in a few minutes flat as I grabbed our bento boxes and stuffed them into my bag, before grabbing two pieces of toast (As they leapt out of the toaster. Hey, I always wanted to do that.) and meeting up with him outside the house, with him yelling a farewell to our mother as I handed him the toast, running towards Namimori-Chuu in a mad dash, hoping we would make it on time before...

Ugh, just one name.

Hibari Kyoya...

Oh the joy, the pain, the bloodiness.

No thank you, I want my uniform to stay clean and spotless today.

"What was with that kid?" Tsuna asked in confusion as we ran, finishing his toast in a few more bites as mine was still hanging from my mouth while my hands were kept busy with the ribbon of my uniform. I raised my eyebrow at him as I finished the knot, waiting for him to continue as he knew I would rarely answer until I meant it.

It was sad really, all the conversations we had where pretty much one-sided, even thought he was considered more shy than I am (I kept silent because I don't really care. He does it because No one Cares.), yet he still seemed to understand somewhat what I was thinking and respond in kind. Somewhat.

Tsuna sighed as I crunched on my toast. It was dry, but, oh well. "He was really weird" Cue me nodding in agreement in silence "I mean, just who he was really?" He mused as another crunch punctuated his sentence.

"I'm a hit-man " A voice clearly not my own answered for him, and I gave a confused blink as I my run slowed down to a halt as I somewhat stared at his head, where a certain baby 'hit-man' sat.

…What the heck? When did he….

"A hit-man, that's stupid Tsuki." He laughed slightly, most likely thinking it was my answer, before stopping a few ways before me and turning around to look at me with a confused look on his face "Why did you say something like that? Usually you wouldn't…"

I blankly stared at the infant that sat on his head with a small cute smirk on his face before robotically pointing an accusing finger at him "….He's right there." I said in an emotionless tone, a small twitch in my eye as he waved to me, smirk growing wider.

Weirdo, I decided. There was so many things wrong with that supposed cherubic face of his.

"….! Since when did you…?"Tsuna yelped, finally noticing Reborn on his head when my eyes trailed off when I heard a small little growl coming from… oh…

My arm moved and I pointed towards the ground, and my twin looked down to see he was stepping on the tail of our neighbors pet…Chihuahua.

He paled so fast it was like he had seen some sort of horrendous monster….

The little tan dog got up, still growling as it pushed slightly at the unlocked gates of our neighbors house and stepping onto the side-walk, giving Tsuna its most 'ferocious' growl while baring open its maw to reveal tiny rows of teeth, before barking angrily at Tsuna.

If I could guess, the tiny thing was most likely yelling "Stupid human, why you step on my tail!"and goes all "Rawr fear meeee!"

It was freaking adorable, and I could feel myself almost-near-smiling-for-real a little at it.

Tsuna had other thoughts though "The leash…the leash isn't attached to anything!" he yelped in a panic, quickly twisting around to dash back towards our house, but his natural clumsiness kicked in and he tripped on a combination of his own two feet and the air on a perfectly flat sidewalk and fell ungracefully to the floor before his 'grand escapee' even actually started.

Poor Tsuna. And he was doing so well so far on 'Not Tripping on Air'.

Reborn however, leaps off gracefully off Tsuna's head while he did his usual blunder and landed on his feet in front of the small dog, who was still agitated and growling at Tsuna. The odd infant simply reached out a hand and petted the dog in a soothing matter, giving it a scratch behind its ear as it growls faded to whines, and then it stuck its tongue out in a happy manner while wagging its tail.

I blinked. Dog Whisperer in action?

Reborn then turned towards us as I picked Tsuna up from the ground, helping him dust off his uniform as the infant looked at Tsuna with an unimpressed look on his face. Can babies even do that? "You're a loser who gets panicked easily in a crisis. You're the single middle-schooler on this Earth who is afraid of Chihuahua's." He stated flatly, and I could hear him make a small tsk as he finished his sentence.

I frowned at the toddler that was making quite cruel (Yet to the point) accusations on Tsuna, but I decided to keep quiet. But that last part was a little untrue, what about those who had cynophobia(1)?

…. Well, Tsuna had shit loads of phobias, now that I think of it.

"What's wrong with that baby?" Tsuna muttered lowly to me as I watched Reborn silently, more than a little unnerved as I tilted my head at my twin as he tensed slightly, and I patted his shoulder to indicate I was still here. He looked at me, gaze softening "Tsuki…"

A light squeal of "Aw, how cute!" gained our attention as we looked up to see one Sasagawa Kyoko running towards us, before kneeling in front of Reborn and flashing the infant a big, cheerful smile with pink sparkles floating around her cute face.

FREAKING SPARKLES I TELLS YA!

Oh, and sunflowers too.

"Ciaossu!" Reborn greeted with the same greeting he gave me, giving the orange haired girl attention.

Kyoko, pleased that the toddler was now facing her, replied "Good morning." with a giggle and gave a sweet smile that somehow released MORE sparkles.

I just looked on, as Tsuna's face took on a light blush as he looked at his crush with a slightly dreamy look in his eye, one that I pretended not to take any notice of as Kyoko looked back at us, noticing us standing there rather awkwardly with the same Uniform she had on. "Hi!" She waved from the ground, most likely not really recognizing us but was being polite, like all polite people would.

Not like anyone actually remembered us…. Especially me.

Tsuna swooned rather stupidly while I merely waved back with robotic movements with my usual greeting in a bid to be polite to society as well "…."

What? Breathing made sounds, I'll have you know!

Then, completely ruining the short moment of normality, another girl with messy mocha hair styled in a short high pony stalked over, wearing a different uniform of a cream beige sleeve-less sweater over a white collared shirt with a blue bow with an ash brown skirt while having a wild look in her eyes that quickly snapped Tsuna out from his daydreaming and made me stare at her curiously.

"You…!" She said snippily and slightly out of breath at us, though it was hard to see who she had directed that question at, actually. "Is this kid your younger brother?!" She half breathed, half yelled at us.

I looked blankly at her like she was blind or something. Reborn's hair and eyes where a pitch black, while ours where chocolate-brown, though mine were of a lighter shade, eye slightly tinted blue. Still…

Maybe she was another air head?

No… it can't be.

Sawada's can't be THIS unlucky….I think.

Tsuna though decided to clear that up, holding his hands up in surrender he tried to calm the girl down. "Um, no he's not."

"Why are you wearing a suit?" Kyoko continues her socializing with Reborn, genuinely curious on why the infant was donning such an outfit.

"Because I'm in the Mafia." Was the answer Reborn causally offered.

I stared oddly at the infant. If he was a real certified Hitman (Like I was real certified introvert otaku and labeled as a cold, emotionless bitch by society a.k.a Classroom and therefore School) he should be keeping this information to himself, shouldn't he?

Then again, he appears as a baby, so maybe he would not be taken seriously?

Kyoko clasped her hands together, making an awed sound as she did so and smiling with her eyes closed "Wah~! That's so cool!" she said, most likely thinking about humoring the little kid with a big imagination before she stood up, dusting of her skirt for a moment "I'm going to be late for school, so see you later little boy!"

"Ciao Ciao." Reborn cooed, almost sounding like a real baby for a moment as he bid the bright bubbly girl goodbye. The weird girl also just noticed she might also be late, leading her to enthusiastically wave goodbye and leave too, back into the corner she appeared in.

I had the strangest feeling this would not be the last time we would met.

There was a short moment of silence as we watched the back of Kyoko walking away before Reborn turned back towards us "Tsuna." He called, gaining my twins attention as he looked down on the infant with a confused look "You have a crush on that girl, don't you?"

Tsuna froze for a second while I stared at Reborn, observing once again at the level of maturity he somehow possessed, before my twin quickly recovered and glared down at Reborn, slightly pissed that an infant was butting into his love life… or lack thereof. "'That girl' is Sasagawa Kyoko, the idol of my middle school." He snapped at Reborn "First of all, it shouldn't concern you."

'Cuz ur a baby' I tacked on for him inwardly, rolling my eyes at the situation, and still slightly fretting about getting blood on my uniform via wound from tonfa, again.

We should get a move on people! Our lives are at stake! Our Lives I say!

"As your home tutor I should understand all these kinds of relationships." Reborn stated in not a completely stalkerish way. Not at all, nope, never.

"I don't remember hiring you!" Neither did I, now that I think of it. How did this happen? To me, Reborn practically fell from the sky or something. "Whatever, just leave me alone already!" Tsuna yelled, holding his fist in front of him at Reborn as I watched the scene unfold, ready to step in at any sign of trouble.

This came quickly when Reborn merely stated "It won't go that easily." As he placed a hand on my brothers fist and with a simple push, twisted Tsuna's arm until he was flipped so that his arm was now being pinned painfully onto his back while his front faced me with a pained look on his face "Owowowowowow, I give up, I give up, I give up!" He yelled eyes wide and arm outstretched towards me as if asking for help.

I did, and moved in to try to discourage Reborn from hurting my brother by… trying to kick him like a soccer ball from the side.

Bad idea, now that I think about it.

Reborn just released Tsuna and jumped over my sweeping kick, before he delivered one swiftly to my cheek that landed me onto the ground with a small grunt.

Weird, that felt more like a slap than an actual kick.

"Tsuki!" Tsuna yelped, rushing over to me as I rubbed my head slightly, narrowing my eyes at the infant as he landed with a back flip, my twin at my side as he looked at my stinging cheek like I had been earlier today "You okay?" He asked, looking over me with a worrying look.

I merely waved him off "… Fine" I said, rubbing the soreness away while looking at Reborn, who smirked at me as I looked back blankly.

Tsuna sighed slightly in relief, before he turned back to look at the infant that easily overpowered two middle-schoolers (Who, if I would admit, have very weak muscles, thought it was fairly normal for girls...ignore the unintended insult.) with little to no effort. "Gezze." He started, with a wary glance "That's not normal strength for a kid…"

"As I said, I am a Hit-man."

"Don't joke around!" Tsuna yelled at Reborn with another fist raised again, which just stood there with his hands clasped behind his back "There's no way you could be a hit-man or just some mafia guy." He accused Reborn.

"Did you confess to Sasagawa Kyoko yet?" Reborn completely changed the subject as I stared at him, knowing full well that Tsuna is going to take the bait and congratulating him on being such a sneaky bastard.

I was right when Tsuna's glare quickly changed into a flustered expression as he flailed slightly at the mention of his crush "D-don't talk stupid…" He blubbered.

Reborn kept pushing "Why?"

"I told you already." Tsuna stated flatly in a tone that suggested 'Why did not this baby get it already!?' "Kyoko-chan's the school's idol, there's no way she would ever consider me." He muttered rather dejectedly, looking away from Reborn with a slight huff.

I frowned at him, disapprovingly as I poked his side viciously to snap him out of his funk, making him jerk away from me with a 'Hieee!' "Tsuki! What was that for?"

I glared at him, my face still impassive with a small look that hopefully said 'You know what it's for, Nii-san.'

"Your test scores for all subjects average out to 17.5. You can only go up the third level up the vaulting horse. You can't even spin on a horizontal bar." Reborn the decided to list off Tsuna's failures in school, getting a flinch from my twin in the process "Is it because you are 'Dame'-Tsuna?"

"That's right!" Tsuna agreed, even nodding in approval. Then he just noticed he had agreed and insulted himself at the same time "Hey! Why did you know so much about me?"

I frowned again, and poked him "Oww! Tsuki!" He yelped, rubbing his side.

"…." I stared at him, before looking back at Reborn, who was just looking at us as if to observe our actions with a green magnifying glass he pulled outa nowhere. Creepy. Nevertheless, I decided to stand up for my brother "….now look here-"I began softly…

"Your eyes tell me everything." Reborn stated cutely, peering at Tsuna from under the large magnifying glass in his hand and blatantly ignored my effort, causing me to slam my head repeatedly into the wall next to me while my brother sweatdroped at the infant, not noticing my situation.

Jerk! He completely disregarded the fact I was trying to say stuff! He stole my brother's attention! He was a freaking spy baby set out to ruin my comfortable slow-paced life in the most exaggerating way possible!

I blame my wallflower-ness too!

Oh well, it wasn't like my rant meant much…did it?

Oh woe is me.

"That makes no sense!" Tsuna snapped at Reborn, getting up from the ground and prepared to move towards school "Anyway, just get off my back about Kyoko-chan. If I could go out with such a cute girl, I'll die happy." He held a hand to me, and his gaze went up to my forehead with a confused look on his face, most likely seeing the blood leaking from a wound on my forehead.

I ignored it as I grabbed his hand firmly and pulled myself up, producing a handkerchief from Bag-kun and whipped the stickiness from my skin.

"That's a strong loser's complex." Reborn stated thoughtfully.

"I told you to stop already!" Tsuna snapped with narrowed eyes in a glare at Reborn while I stepped up, feeling tempted to add my two cents in.

That was when things got even weirder.

Reborn smirked evilly as he said "Looks like it's finally time." With a rather sadistic look on his face as both us twins gave him confused and apprehensive looks. What was Reborn going to pull now?

That was answered when his weird Magnifying glass he got from nowhere suddenly reformed itself in a flurry of beautiful light into the lizard-chameleon that was resting on his fedora from when we first met him while he locked his polished obsidian gaze into Tsuna's caramel and said, with all seriousness "Die now."

And his most likely alien technology chameleon transformed into a gun.

"You'll understand if you die." Reborn smiled a shit eating grin while his eyes glimmered with sadistic glee as he pointed the weapon right at Tsuna's forehead, all they while managing to look completely calm at the same time.

….

WHAT THE F-

"Wha-!" Tsuna was not given the chance to say anything past that before a loud *Bang* went off and he was knocked off his feet, a small red flicker on his forehead as he fell like a limp doll to the ground with a sickening *Thud*, eyes rolled to the back of his head with a slightly horrified expression etched on his face.

SILE-

"…" I fell on my behind again, legs not having the strength to hold me up as I continued to watch my twin as he laid there unmoving from the floor while Reborn just petted his chameleon as he looked at Tsuna, as if waiting for a reaction.

I mean, even normally composed people like me would have the same reaction from seeing a baby shooting their twin right between the eyes, right?

I quickly flew into a rage, feeding the want to rip the infant into pieces with anger "…WHA-"

"Watch." The mini hit-man said, pointing to my brother's corpse (...) with a serious look on his face "and you will understand."

…. The hell? Why does he pull a wise old man at this freaking moment?

What is wrong with this baby?

What is wrong with my life?

What is wrong with the universe?

"...Now look here…" I started and breaking my inner questioning (Read Spamming), but my attention was quickly averted when…. Some sort of buzzing happened? And I finally looked towards my brother and my eyes widened even more when his skin started….glowing?

Not as in a healthy glow, as in a glowy glow as if he was generating some sort of his own Light Source like those illuminating fish from deep below the sea.

Okay, I just called my brother an illuminating fish.

Cut me some slack here! I saw him DIE!

Then suddenly, a dim, orange flame flickered on his forehead where the bullet hit, and suddenly his eyes flew open, but revealed crazed animalistic orbs instead of warm fuzzy caramel and he leaps into the air, ripping his school uniform into shreds and yelling "REBORN!" as the flame burst out into a fire lit on his forehead, and Tsuna was now successfully naked in only his blue boxers with a flame on his forehead.

Most normal people would most likely scream and yell in wild panic when one moment earlier, their loved one who was supposedly dead, suddenly sprang to life with more energy than when he was alive more than ever and was now naked and sporting an orange flame on his forehead while acting out of character to his shy nature and not even batting an eyelash at his nudity.

But it is to be known, I am not normal…. Mentally that is.

So I just stared. Insanely happy Tsuna was not dead yet, a little more than just shocked.

And I thought to myself.

Could this get EVEN stranger already?

Apparently, it could.

"I'm going to confess to Sasagawa Kyoko with my Dying Will!" Tsuna, soft-spoken, shy, dame and clumsy Tsuna stated with such fiery determination that it was hard to imagine him as the same person before he ran off with an animalistic scream of "Where's Sasagawa Kyoko!" towards the general direction of school, passing me by with such speed it was as if a gale force wind decided to pass me by and whipped my hair as he disappeared in a trail of dust.

If I could show more emotions without looking constipated, I would have started to laugh and cry at the stupidity of it all and just be utterly, utterly scarred for life to see my once dead brother (For a few seconds though, so maybe the shock he that he was dead hasn't actually sunk in.) springing up and seemingly 'reborn' in his boxers and suddenly decided to leave me in the dust in hopes of gaining attention of his crush since forever with a certain ammo packed baby with a chameleon that could shape shift as a pet.

Instead, I continued to have my default blank face on.

Which actually translated to me yelling 'WTF?'.

Then, I realized something.

"….. You're Satan himself." I state to Reborn, who just looked at me innocently as he continued to pet his dangerous chameleon pet.

"I'll take that as a complement." He just stated, giving me an innocent grin.

Then and there, I decided never to trust any babies. Ever.

Ever.

I arrived at school with Reborn sitting comfortably on my shoulder (I didn't push him off. I did not WANT to be shoot.) just in time to see Tsuna yelling at Kyoko in a very poor sounding demand of her to go out with him leading the poor girl to scream and dash into the school, most likely in shock at his current appearance.

If this situation wasn't so dire, and if I didn't currently have a strawberry cream pocky in my mouth, I would have facepalmed.

Reborn just looked oddly pleased.

If Tsuna wasn't my brother, I might have been amused too. It was the perfect humor scene for an anime!

I'm just that fickle. Sue me.

"Bastard!"

My eye gave an angry twitch as Mochida, a stupid jock who was Leader of the Kendo Team with an ego ballooned with hot air, smashed his fist into the side of Tsuna's face and knocking him right off the ground onto his back.

A moment later (After I stomped quickly up to the school gates and ignoring Reborn as he left my shoulder to watch somewhere.) I swung my foot and swiftly landed a hit where the Sun hopefully doesn't shine on. Between the legs.

The effect was immediate as the older teen crumpled to the floor, rolling and groaning in obvious pain as he squeezed his legs together, whimpering rather pathetically.

Everyone in the vicinity looked at me like I was a crazy bitch (All sporting wide, but not disbelieving eyes), before I gave them a blank stare and they all somehow shuffled quickly away from the 'crazy Sawada' as I gave Mochida the 'evil eye' as he whimpered pathetically on the floor.

That's what you get if I caught anyone sassing my twin.

"…..Stay away from him." I spoke in my usual monotony without dropping my pocky, and the idiot boy nodded his head so fast if he were a zombie it might I have rolled off his head before I shooed him off and he limped away, tail between his legs as he made for class as I kneeled down and helped my twin up into sitting position as he gave a groan of pain while rubbing his head. There was no funky orange fire lit up brightly on his forehead anymore, and his soft eyes seemed to say he was now Normal-Dame Tsuna.

I was relived, and annoyed.

Dunno why.

I wondered such as I crunched the stick in my mouth, making it shorter with each bite.

Tsuna blinked slowly, as if he just woke up from a terrifying nightmare filled with raging Chihuahuas and sadistic baby self-proclaimed hit-man and looked around, as if drinking in his surroundings. Then, mocha orbs met with my own, slightly tinted blue ones.

A crunch signaled the end of my pocky.

And he gave his signature yelp "Hieeee!" as it seemed to finally dawn on him that he was in his boxers in public.

I would do the same; public nudity did not happen much too often after all.

He ruffled his hair with both hands, as if trying to wake himself from this very horrible (For him) and very weird (For me) dream, while muttering "What happened to me?" as I pulled out another stick of pocky and stuck it into my mouth, trying to make sense of all this chaos.

"That's thanks too, the Dying Will Bullet." Said an attention grabbing squeaky voice I started to loathe and respect at the same time.

Both of us looked towards Reborn, who stood there on the pavement with a calm expression on his features as he regarded us sagely.

That sounded wrong, yet kinda right at the same time.

"Reborn!" Tsuna exclaimed with eyes wide as he stared at the culprit of his current nudity.

I made another crunch, wondering what the hell he was talking about. Reborn I mean.

Reborn then pulled out a crimson bullet out from his pocket that had a small angry yet cute looking chibi flame printed on the side and held it up for us to see, the light shining off the metal it was made off. "This." Reborn started "Is the Dying Will Bullet. A person shot with the Dying Will Bullet will be resurrected with the dying will."

Ahhh, so Tsuna who was going bat-shit crazy was in dying will mode.

Make personal note, do not get shot by Dying Will Bullet or suffer public nudity.

Tsuna had his 'WTF' face on that was absolutely flawless "What?!"

"The basis of resurrection" Reborn continued his explanation, ignoring Tsuna's outburst like he had ignored mine earlier "is if you have any regrets when dying, you would be revived in order to fulfill it." No wonder Tsuna suddenly wanted to confess his love for apparently no reason… "The dying will time is only five minutes. After five minutes, you return to normal."

...

….That... sounded like it came right out of an anime…

After some moments of silence, I decided to speak up for Tsuna and break the rather awkward silence.

"….So…if he wasn't regretting anything…" I mumbled loud enough so both could hear it, Tsuna especially as I pointed my pocky stick at him the end bitten off "…does it mean… he would have…." I trailed off, unable to finish that sentence.

A smirk appeared on Reborn face as he glanced innocently of to the side "I am a hit-man."

Silence…..

*Crunch*

Whoops, that was my pocky.

"I would have died!?" Tsuna exclaimed in his very high pitched voice, instantly freaking out that if not for his crush, he would have left this world by now, laying there growing cold on the side walk with a sadistic hit-man baby , a Chihuahua and his own sister (Yours truly) left there to watch.

Not a pretty way to go, tactfully speaking. In fact, would have been a really stupid way to die.

"And besides that, what do I do now?" Tsuna's crestfallen expression was pretty painful to look at "It's too embarrassing to look to come to school anymore! Ahh, even though I did not feel like confessing!" He whined while looking at the school with a dread I knew too well.

The teasing will be torturous.

"You mean you wanted too, but couldn't anyway." Said Reborn simply, not caring the predicament he had placed Tsuna in.

The day has been really stressing on my twin. Waking up late with the fear of being re-acquainted with Hibari's tonfas, falling to his almost doom, then meeting with a sadistic baby who insisted he was a Home Tutor and a Hit-man, having a close encounter with our neighbors dog and finally ending up naked because some weird bullet that can revive people from the dead so they can go bat-shit crazy has finally taken its toll on poor Sawada Tsunayoshi.

So he finally snapped and swiftly got to his feet, snatching Reborn up and pulled on his chubby cheeks "Shut Up!" in a very out of character moment.

*Crunch*

*Smack*

Tsuna was once again floored to the ground as Reborn (Obviously) gave him a punch to the face, re-displaying his monstrous strength as Tsuna rubbed his check in pain as he quickly sat up, whining in pain "But I was fine when the truck hit me…"

*Crunch snap Crunch*

Okay…. Did I just hear Tsuna was hit…by a TRUCK?

Why is he not dead yet? (Not like I wanted him dead, but...TRUCK?!)

I gave him a look over with a critical eye. Meaning I grabbed his arm and started to inspect it as I twisted it around and making him yelp, before dropping it and I stared at him, unbelieving.

Reborn crossed his arms and nodded his head slightly, like teens getting hit by trucks head on and leaving unscathed was a normal thing in the daily newspaper "That's because you had the Dying Will. Dying Will means that all your safety switches are turned off. So in exchange for risking your life to the limit, you can harness amazing strength."

Okay…. That totally would make a great idea for an anime.

If this wasn't all too real.

I shook my head, feeling a headache come on from all this weirdness, and took out another pocky from its box before stuffing the rest into Bag-kun, massaging my head with my now free hands.

Tsuna seemed to have a better grip on things than I did "I see….So that means that my potential strength is hidden, but awakened when I receive the Dying Will Bullet!" He said in slight awe, like he just had an epiphany about the Secret to the Universe.

The school bell chimed to punctuate his sentence with it cheery reminder that school was beginning, snapping us back to reality, somewhat.

"You think I can just take this in so easily?" Tsuna snapped at the infant as I turned, and gave a small gulp as I saw who was approaching us from the school gates.

Hibari Kyoya, the head of the Disciplinary Committee, and one hell of a scary dude, walked over briskly and spoke with a cold, emotionless tone as a sudden breeze that seemed to be ever-present around him blew, ruffling his raven hair slightly as he looked straight at me with narrowed eyes as if peering into my soul.

I twitched at how weird that thought was.

"What are you doing here?"

Before Tsuna could just answer the scary as shit dude, I pulled him up, bowed to the scary ass prefect, mumbled a promise that it will not happen (Hopefully) again, and ran like the wind with Tsuna in tow.

The hell I was going to be beaten into a pretty bloody pile of human pulp cause of a sadistic baby hit-man.

As I had said.

Glorious day my freaking ass.

And it's only going to go downhill from here.

I know it.

Class was a bore.

If you ignored the jeering and teasing one Sawada Tsunayoshi was receiving relentlessly, of course.

"Here comes underwear man!" One idiot yelled gleefully, idiotically unaware Tsuna wore boxers.

"A sudden confession to Sasagawa Kyoko: Please go out with me!" Another added.

A few more insults sailed overhead as I flanked Tsuna, petting his back comfortingly as he visibly slumped from all the cruel teasing of our classmates who continue to call.

No matter how evilly I glared.

I had the sudden urge to go up and bitch slap the lot.

But I cannot, as I had promised I will not do anything as long as they did not inflict physical harm.

Sometimes, my twin was just too kind.

I bitterly crunched on the sweet biscuit snack in my mouth, outwardly showing no remorse that my twin was at the receiving end on such actions as both of plopped down on our seats, mine directly right behind his as I pulled out a paper and started scribbling in it, looking in all the world like I was bored and wanted to simply pass time.

I started drawing horrible illustrations of my classmates dying horrible deaths when suddenly one of our male classmates told Tsuna that a certain 'Mochida-senpai' had challenged him to a fight like the creep he was.

The pencil I was holding snapped in half, but it easily went unnoticed by the class as I plotted painful demise.

I sighed.

All of this shit came along with some baby named Reborn.

All of it.

"I'll run away…I swear I'll run!" Tsuna whispered while I stared at his shaking back, my eye twitched from nerves.

And I had a bad feeling about all of this.

And it STILL mostly revolved about a certain hit-man baby.

Oh joy.

EDITED (Thursday, June 27, 2013)

1)Cynophobia- Fear of dogs.

A/N: Well, hopefully this first fic did not suck (Paranoid OTL) and that people would enjoy...it...

I had this idea spinning around my head for some time after reading It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World by DisneyDreamer08 that features a pretty cool story setting. The author has not updated for a while. (Which made me sad QAQ) so I thought to myself... why not write a Twin story as well, I have Ideas for it at least. I'll give it a shot!

So I made this... thing...

(Don't...judge...me. Just don't.)

The beginning is similar to Cannon, though there are going to be some major changes (Like Tsuna having a twin... obviously!), and the changes will continue on scale as like this. It will follow a mix of both the Anime and manga, but I have not read the latter, much.

And thus.

Review what you think? :P
