Silent Pain

Chapter 5

Tsuna was heading to his school on his own as Reborn had more business to attend to when a woman with pink hair and green eyes rode up to him on a motorcycle. "You look thirsty," she said and threw him what appeared to be a can of soda or juice. Tsuna ignored it and it promptly hit the ground and broke open, leaking out some sort of strange purple liquid that looked toxic. Suddenly, a bird flying over the fumes feel out of the sky, dead.

---------------------------------------

The boy looked back at the woman, dumbfounded. She was about to leave when he took out a notepad and wrote something down. [Sorry I dropped it. Do you have another that I can have?]

The woman looked back at the boy, mirroring his dumbfounded look from earlier. Surely he noticed that the drink was poisoned. The woman wasn't known as the Poison Scorpion Bianchi for nothing. Why on earth would this boy want another? She could only come to one conclusion. "Okay kid, who are you trying to kill?" she asked.

The boy started to write something down again, and Bianchi was confused. She could swear that the one chosen to be the next boss of the Vongola would be able to talk at least. He finished writing what he wanted to and turned the notebook around to show her. [Myself.]

Bianchi was taken aback and wasn't sure if she should give him what he wanted or a talking two about the importance of life. She chuckled for a second. She was an assassin, what did she know about the importance of life? Yet this boy was definitely making her think about it. "Well I do need you out of the way," she said, considering the idea. "But are you sure you can kill yourself like that. I mean if you really wanted to kill yourself, there are many other ways to do it other than waiting for an assassin to come along and give you poisoned juice."

The boy looked a little disappointed before writing something down. [Your right. Can you force me to drink it? I promise I won't struggle.]

"You really want to die that badly?" the woman asked and Tsuna nodded. Suddenly there was a gunshot and a bullet flew by just inches from Tsuna's leg.

"I thought I told you not to ask that!" Reborn's voice shouted from behind Tsuna. Of course he'd show up right before he got his wish.

The woman looked over to Reborn and Tsuna could swear he saw hearts in her eyes. "Oh, Reborn, how I've longed to see you," she called out as she ran over and tried to pull him into a hug. Reborn swiftly sidestepped the attempt causing the woman to pout. "That's mean, Reborn. By the way, if you're threatening the boy, wouldn't it make more sense to aim near his head?"

"If I did that he'd probably move into the path of the bullet. But the question I have is what are you doing here Bianchi?" Reborn asked in a strict tone of voice.

"I came to see you my love! Let's go on dangerous missions like in the old days!"

"I'm sorry Bianchi, but I must decline. I have to train Tsuna."

"Oh poor Reborn! You're trapped here unless something happens to this boy."

Tsuna began writing something down before Reborn interrupted him. "If you say something like 'make something happen to me' I will shot you in the leg. And I also won't let you use that as an excuse to get out of school."

Tsuna sighed and started to write something else. [Why are you even here?]

"I was notified that Bianchi was coming here, and I decided to walk you to school before something happened. And it was a good thing I did because if I didn't you'd be dead. And don't even think about saying something like 'that's what I wanted'." Tsuna let out a sigh of disappointment. "You're lucky that Dino hasn't seen you ask for this yet."
