  It is 3 days until the Ring Conflict, and Tsuna is still training. His intuition is driving him to do this. Maybe when it's over his papa will be there. With this motivation, sets out to win, growing stronger each day.

   One night Reborn felt the need for some espresso and headed down to the kitchen. He was alarmed, though, at the light streaming from the doorway. Who was here at midnight.

   Opening the door he was relieved. It was just Nana, sitting at the table enjoying some tea.

   He brewed his espresso and sat down beside her. Only now did she notice him there.

   "Oh hello, Reborn. How are you?"

   "Just fine, Maman. Tsuna is progressing nicely in his studies."

   "He's grown so much."

   He was hesitant, but continued the conversation. "That he has."

   "To think how long it's been. It feels like just yesterday that I found him in that park."

    Reborn almost choked on his drink. Found him?! I thought he was Vongola blood!

    Thankfully he was able to recover. "What do you mean, Maman?"

    She turned to him with a curious look. "Tsuna didn't tell you? It's the reason he won't call Iemitsu, papa. I found him when he was five in the park. He was scared and I couldn't leave him there. Iemitsu was overjoyed to hear that he had a son, thinking that I hid it from him since he hadn't been there for 5 years. I just couldn't break his heart."

    Reborn just sat there, drinking his espresso with his fedora shadowing his face. I have to think of this. The ring could reject him. I need time.

   "Thank you, Maman." With that he slipped out.

   He needed one day.

   It took him an entire day to figure out this course of action.

   So around midnight the next night he did it.

   "Tsunayoshi, you cannot participate in the Ring Conflict."

   He turns around surprised, and Reborn doesn't blame him. "Eh? Why?!"

   "Because you're adopted. The ring could reject you."

    He turns his face away and the room is silent for a minute. "So Mama told you? That doesn't matter Reborn."

     "And why is that Dame-Tsuna?"

     "You wouldn't understand."

      Soon Tsuna feels the cold steel of a gun against his forehead. "Try me."

     Tsuna can see that he wasn't getting out of this. Taking a deep breath, he told his story. "Have you ever heard of time travel?"

     "Yes. The Bovinos have a device that sends you ten years into the future."

      "Another Question. How many sons did Primo have?"

       Reborn rose an eyebrow but answered. "One. His name was Alexander." Tsuna winced but continued.

      "Last question. How did the Vongola get passed to Secondo?"

       "Primo retired, then moved to Japan."

       "You're wrong Reborn."

       Click. The safety was being turned off. " What?"

      "You're wrong. Secondo fought Primo for the title. Second used dirty tricks such as killing Primo's wife and attacking his home. Eventually, Primo surrendered not wanting any more blood spilt. As for the children, there were two, Alexander and the youngest."

       "How would you know that? And what does this have to do with you?"

       He looks up, eyes glowing orange. "Because, Reborn, I am that youngest child, Tsunayoshi Vongola."
