Just Another Case...

Talk It Out

"So... how did it goes?" Question was asked by his step-brother as soon that brunet-- with Mygale loyally on his side-- entered the room, while Reborn, Edward, Tsuki, Hayato and Takeshi sat in the sofa, seeming to asked the same thing from the expressions they made.

"It's good. A bit baffled most of the time, but taking all of my words seriously." Tsuna said, patting Mygale's head before settling himself to sit next to his Ren-nii.

The hitman sensed the amount of exhaustment the younger trying to hide, but his poker face is now stronger than ever, everyone but him couldn't see it through.

"I still don't understand some of the points, like just how a teen shrunk and become a kid... well, outside of your case, of course. I mean, it's not like your story is any everyday phenomena at all. There must be another reason..." The Decimo said, and Tsuna hummed.

"He had admitted the true reason behind it. But, of course, I'm not in the right place to show and tell. Though, I expect him to come around and with KID too. So as long you get your patience checked, you'll get to find out sooner than you know."

"With KID too?" The young hacker grinned, "that thief has soft spot for the detective, that's for sure... plus, if I'm not mistaken-- which usually I don't-- both of them are being after an underground organization, one or another sounded like they won't even spare a glance as they kill. I still don't know if they are involved with the shallow or deep organizations, but I showed them my flames. So, well... sooner or later, they're going to asked how to do that."

Now, it's the half of the room occupants who's shock-stunned.

"You did what???" Edward always knew that none of his siblings are completely sane. But to show his flames to civilians?

Yet Tsuna just calmly replied with a lazy wave, "relax... I've had the Vindince affirmation that I could. Plus, if we able to take down more evils in the world, wouldn't that be a fair trade?"

Tsuki sighed, "But what if we couldn't take them down?"

Unfortunately, Tsuna was late for a second to answer that. Which in result, a rubber bullet just hit right in the middle of the brunette's eyes...

"Ittai..."

Touche, if it was any other, that CEDEF headchief would have been able to evade. But since it's the magnificent number one hitman himself--

"Heh, I didn't train you to be weak..." and per say, Tsuna would have laughed as the other pout. But, he prefers to just answer her so no such doubt will get involved in the further future.

"Well, true that it won't be as easy as flipping your back of hand... and noting of the damage they have aggressively caused for the past events. I'd say that we better start on early planning if we don't want it turned to be flames war free-for-all"

Taiyo was pulling his lips into a stren straight line, not liking the said possibility at all. Still he nods...

"Better prepared than sorry..."

And fairly, everyone agrees.

Tsuna tried to walk out of the conference room to his bed room while putting more weight onto the reptile's body than he intended to...

He heard her hissing in worry, still he smiled, "I'm fine... just tired."

But then, someone else replied him, "you seemed more than just exhausted though. You were afterall, using bit of your mist flames on top the make up Tsuki made you to wear."

Tsuna chuckled warily, not even bother to look on his side to find out who had spoken, "I was dealing with master of disguises. Without my flame, he'd found out the moment he saw me disguising as his partner. And frankly, it was just a flame. I was supposed to endure that within fifteen minutes. Or so, Shamal gad told me-- Five minutes when it came to multi-flames, which I didn't use aside from the show off..."

"Still, you're exhausted... should have asked Tsuki for that matter too. You know you shouldn't push yourself too much"

His snicker turned to be one of tease, "what? The infamous hard-colded hitman fall pity on me?"

Reborn's gaze, however, never waver, "not pity. But worry. You'd died in my arms once, just like Luce and Aria did. I'm not losing you again..."

This time, his smile was sincere, "I'm not planning to die too soon. I still have my bucket list to be fulfilled. Though, I'm still contemplating on seeing you cry as one of it."

That earned him a bonk on his head.

"You brat..." Reborn smirked though it's obvious that he's more irritated than amused. Well, at least the air wasn't as sappy.

--Which is good.

'That's right... I'm not bound to die young this time.' --might as well, made a time of his life while he can.

"Wanna play some video games?"

Reborn playfully rolls his eyes, "sleep now, I'll beat you off tomorrow..."

"Heh, As if..."

"Try me..."

Yup... this second life is way much better indeed.
