The hitman glanced towards Tsuna, the teen was curled up on his bed, snuggling with the newly shifted Nezumi. The sky's complexion looked a lot healthier than it had been a few hours ago, though he still was a bit pale. Reborn absently wondered if it was due to the fact that Tsuna might not have fed on blood in a while. He wasn't sure since he'd never actually seen the other 'feed' before.

"Are you going out tonight?" Reborn inquired as Leon crawled up onto his hat.

'I'm curious to know just how long Tsuna can last without blood'

Honey turned towards the hitman "Yeah, I might as well get some blood in case I'm not feeling well later" He'd also snag some blood to subtly feed to Ie. Honey flashed orange "Please don't tell Ie that he's a vampire too"

Reborn blinked at the request "Why not?" Wouldn't it make more sense if the other knew? "It's not like he's a danger to anyone anymore" The lightning wasn't going to randomly decide to attack people like he used to.

'I understand his reasons about not telling Ie before due t o the danger, but that danger is no longer a factor'

Tsuna bit his lip, averting his gaze away from the other, hugging Nezumi closer to his chest. It was easier to snuggle her now that she was bigger "Ie's not good with supernatural things" His voice softened a bit "it's part of the reason why his memory is sort of off"

"Explain" The hitman's words were gentle. Maybe he'd find out why Ie had been so obsessed about being the Vongola Decimo even though he'd been adopted.

'He was going on and on about being the Vongola Decimo even though he should have known that he couldn't possibly be it. I'm pretty sure that I told him that the bloodline mattered'

The sky lowered his head "It just doesn't register to him right so he just ends up forgetting things" He gave a small shrug "I think he subconsciously remembered because he was always calling me a monster"

Reborn gave a small nod "Yet he never actually explained why, all of his reasons were weak compared to his emotions" Ie had been scared, which had probably worsened his thought about Tsuna.

"Yeah" Tsuna's fingers curled into his blanket "And he always got more violent whenever he thought that I was going to be chosen instead of him"

"Because he subconsciously knew that he couldn't be Decimo" The hitman finished, that was a bit concerning "Does he only forget hings related to you being a vampire?" He inquired "He took well to the idea of flames" So what was the difference?

'Vampires are at least known to the world as legends, yet the concept of flames would have been completely new to him'

Honey narrowed in thought "I think so, but I'm not sure since I haven't wanted to test it" He didn't want Ie to forget even more than he already had "And I may have traumatized him by accident during our escape..." Guilt filled him as he recalled the memory.

Reborn eyed his sky curiously "What happened?" He could easily see his student accidentally traumatizing someone with how he acted at times. Even he had to admit that Tsuna could be quite creepy and arguably scary at times, especially to 'normal' people.

Honey watered a bit as he told Reborn a bit about how he may have hurt Ie.

"Tsu-chan...?" Ie's voice trembled, causing Tsuna to turn back towards him. Ie had woken up just as he finished dealing with the scientists with Mukuro's help. The mist was out scouting for the exit while the sky had stayed to watch over the unconscious Ie.

"Ie-chan!" Honey flashed orange, glinting happily as he offered the other a bright smile.

Brown widened fearfully, a gasp escaping Ie's lips "Who are you?" Where was Tsu-chan?! That wasn't Tsu-chan! He flinched back when that creature wearing his brother's skin reached out to him, a small whimper passing through his lips. The creature was coated in blood, fangs glinting as those glowing eyes gazed at him.

Orange narrowed in confusion "What are you talking about Ie-chan?" He crouched down next to where the other was trembling in the ground, tilting his head a bit "I'm Tsuna remember?" The way Ie scrambled away from him was confusing, why would Ie run from him?

Ie shook his head, eyes watery "Stay away!" Where was Tsuna?! Did that thing kill him? Tsuna doesn't have fangs...

"Ie-chan...?" The sky reached for his brother, only for Ie to slap his hand away. Orange widened in confusion, his heart hurting more than his hand.

"Don't touch me!" Ie's whole body was trembling, breath speeding up as his heart hammered in his chest "Give my brother back!" He sniffed, voice watery as tears trailing down his face.

"I started smoothing away my fangs as soon as we got home" He admitted softly "Eventually Ie ended up thinking that it'd just been a weird dream since I hid everything vampire related from him" He finished.

Reborn frowned "How did you become a vampire then?" He must not have been one when he'd been captured. It couldn't have been the scientists though since that would have hindered them.

Honey softened "They'd captured a vampire years before me and Ie" The guy had been really kind to him "He said that bad things would happen if I died so he bit me" His shoulders sagged a bit "Domoku was killed hours later, but not before kick starting the scientist's downfall" Sensing Tsuna's sadness, Nezumi chattered a bit, crawling up onto Tsuna's shoulder to nuzzle his cheek.

'Bad things would happen...'

"Do you think that he knew that you were the sky arcobaleno?" It was never a good thing when the sky died.

The sky offered an apologetic smile "Possibly, Domoku had this weird aura and was very smart" He began to pet the rat, running his fingers through her silky fur "But even I didn't know, so it's weird to think that he knew" Leon leapt from the hitman's hat onto the sky's other shoulder, giving Tsuna an affectionate lick.
