From a Delinquent to a Dame Life?!

It was 6 o clock in the morning, the sun is just starting to rise and it's rays are streaming to the window, hitting the peaceful sleeping face of a certain brunette. Feeling the warmth of the sun, she slowly opened her eyes drowsily then blinked a couple of times to adjust to the sudden brightness. She sat up at the edge of her bed and began to raised her arms above her head, stretching all her stiff muscles. A big smile went to her lips as she stood up, starting to fix her wrinkled bed sheets. She can feel it call it her mother's intuition or what not but she can be sure that something big is about to happen today.

Nana made her way downstairs after arranging her bed, pausing at the kitchen doorway when she heard a humming sound and the faint sizzling sound the frying pan is making. She inhaled deeply, enjoying the sweet aroma that filled the kitchen air. She immediately know who it was, it can only be her lovable cute son who is currently cooking right now. She reminisce the times where in she had tried to tell him that she'll be the one to prepare his breakfast but he had still declined the offer, telling her that he doesn't want to put more burdens on her shoulder. She giggled at the memory, her Tsu-kun can be so thoughtful sometimes.

She quietly entered the kitchen and sat on her usual chair at the table. The brunette didn't say anything to Tsuna, not wanting to disturb him in his cooking. Nana cupped her chin with her two hands, her smile still present on her face. The more she looked at her son's back, the more she notice how manly and dependable he look.

'Just like his father..' Nana thought as a soft red tinge coloring her cheeks. Sure her husband only visit them only a few times but still she had loved him dearly and remained faithful. She can't blame him for not coming home often because she knows that her husband has many things handed in his hands since he is after all the leader of CEDEF, the secret intelligence organization independent from the Vongola.

Contrary to popular belief, Nana knows all the things that Iemitsu had been involved in. Thanks to her son, who told her. At first, she was hurt when she learned the horrible truth about the true job of her husband, thinking that she cannot be trustworthy enough to hold such secret. But she soon understands,with the help of Tsuna, that he is doing this for her sake. He intends to keep her in the dark since if she tried to pry in further in the affairs of the mafia, she could be assassinated or even kidnapped and be a source of information about the Vongola.

She had a hard time taking the information in, but soon after she began to accept it. But there's still questions lingering in her mind for a while now, how can her son know all about this? And why did he tell her when he can probably hid this information to her?

Tsuna turned around and as he expected her mother was sitting in her usual place. "Morni-" he stopped midway at his greeting, after noting that dreamy expression in her face. She only make that face when she is thinking about Iemitsu. The brunet smiled at her mother and continued at placing their food at the table. When he's done preparing their breakfast, he sat down to his chair and stared at his mother, waiting for her to snapped at her trance.

"Ne, Tsu-kun.." Nana started, with a serious atmosphere around her making Tsuna looked at her in question. Her mother only became this serious once when he had told her about the job of his father, Iemitsu. "This has been on my mind for a while now so I want to ask you directly.."

Now, this piqued the interest of the ex-delinquent. What is it that even made his ever-so cheerful mother this serious?

"How did you know the real job of Iemitsu?" Tsuna was taken a back from her question. He didn't expect her to ask anything again about that topic. The brunet sighed, he can't afford to lie in the face of her beloved mother. Tsuna looked at her in the eyes, completely serious. "Mom, what I'm going to tell you right now, don't panic, okay?"

Now it was Nana's turn, to be curious but nonetheless she nodded at her son's question. She unconsciously balled her fist, bracing her self for the worst. It couldn't be that bad is it? What else could her adorably good son hide from her?

"Mom..." Nana held her breath. "I'm a delinquent."

Tsuna looked down at his untouched plate and began to fiddle on his fingers, completely worried the reaction her mother will make. Seconds that seems like hours passed. Still hearing no reaction or anything. For the brunet, it seems like time had decided to stop to torment him even more since it was undeniably quiet. He can't even hear the chirping of the birds, the honking sounds of the cars across the neighborhood and the nonstop chattering of the adults.

Getting fed up of the deafening silence, he anxiously took a peek on her mother. He could clearly see the shock look written on her face. Nana had her mouth hang low, with her eyes completely wide.

"O-Oka-san?" The brunet stuttered in a low, small voice. He wasn't faking it this time. He really was freaking nervous of what kind of reaction his mother will have. Too many thoughts accumulated his mind at once; Will his mother uncharacteristically shout at him? Will she abandoned him? Will she ignore him? Will she be disappointed at him? He began to sweat profusely.

If someone especially from his former gang saw him acting like this, they would definitely laugh their ass of. Him, the great and awesome leader of the Red Dragon Gang. Him, who previously beat up yakuzas mercilessly in a snapped of a finger. Him, who was rumored the best fighter in his previous school and was afraid of nobody was afraid of his cheerful and loving mother?

Tsuna probably wouldn't live a day without getting laughed and mocked at.

"Tsuna.." The said person looked at her mother, who had her expression unreadable because the shadow of her bangs are covering the half of her face. The brunet gulped nervously, his mother has never acted like this before. If the silence was killing him a while ago, his situation now is even worst! Her mother, had stopped calling him 'Tsu-kun' already, which has never happened before.

"Y-Y-Yes?" The brunet looked down, and closed his eyes. As much as he doesn't want to hear his mother's reply, he should. He should just accept and face it like a man. It's his fault to begin with. He chose that life so that he could get more information about his father and his it weren't for him being a delinquent, he probably wouldn't have met Hayato who told him all about the mafia and the Vongola. If he hadn't been a delinquent, he wouldn't have met Shoichi-kun who helped him gather information. If he hadn't been a delinquent, he wouldn't have been strong enough to fight and annoy Kyoya.

Tsuna breathed in a lot of air, 'You can handle this Tsuna.. You've faced more worst scenarios than this.' Tsuna exhaled, and slowly opened his eyes. Unbeknownst to him, the color of his eyes changed in to bright orange.

It was silent for a couple of minutes until..

"T-That's so cool!" Nana exclaimed as she clapped her hands, her eyes literally sparkling in admiration. She then continue to talk aimlessly, saying how cool it is that she have a son who is rebellious and what not. Tsuna fought the urged to faint right here and there. He really can't believe that, her mother manage to manipulate the tension just like that. Making the air serious then lively. He really thought for sure that her mom would shriek while starting to panic, and will scold him later on for being such a bad boy.

'Man..Women sure are scary..' The brunet thought as a shiver ran down to his spine. 'Is this what they call..mood swings?'

Nana had stopped her ramblings and took a glance at her son. She almost wanted laughed out loud at the reaction of her Tsu-kun. She had never intended to scold him for whatever reason he will tell her when she asked how he learned the job of her husband. She can never be angry at her son, she'll always accept him whoever he is. Be him in the mafia and whatever. But still, she didn't expect at all the chance that her behave and good son, Tsuna, will be a delinquent.

She only did this little prank of hers was to have fun and have a good laugh. And it seems that her son has been down for a little while ever since he transferred school. A smile had made it's way to the brunette's lips which turned in to a fit of giggles when she saw Tsuna suddenly shivered.

The ex-delinquent noticed that her mother had stopped talking and was looking at him with her usual smile and was laughing a little. Seeing her smile, he can't helped but smile too.

Both of them really treasures mornings like this.

Nana took a bite of her food and she chewed it carefully, savoring the taste of bacon in her mouth. She grinned, thinking that maybe someday in the future her son could be an excellent chef since he had already surpass her in terms of cooking. It seems that Tsuna had inherited most of Nana's genes, from her brown hair and caramel eyes, petite figure and to her amazing cooking skills.

"Oh yeah!" The brunette exclaimed suddenly, as if remembering something important. "Tsu-kun, did you get the newspapers today?"

"Mm.." Tsuna chewed the food in his mouth before answering her with a sheepish grin, "I-I forgot?"

Nana only smiled at him before standing up, "I'll go get it then."

Tsuna stared at the back of his leaving mother, his mind starting to wander off. He really felt relieve that his mother had accepted the fact that he's a former delinquent. Most of the parents would probably be freak out and starting to worry non-stop about the welfare of their child since the life of a delinquent is hard. You'll get injuries or scratches most of the time when you fight.

But he was really glad that his mother didn't react like the other parents out there. He clearly doesn't want to see her ripping her hair in frustration. 'Must be because she trust me so much..' The brunet's lips twitched a little upwards, 'I'm really lucky to have her for a mother..'

"Tsu-kun!" He was snapped out of his daze when he heard her mother squeal. Tsuna looked at her and can't helped but narrow his eyes in suspicion. She had just fetched the newspapers so why is there a big smile plastered on her face?

Nana was grinning from ear to ear, as she walked towards the brunet. She really can't wait to tell the news to him. She jumped up and down, and excitedly lifted out a piece of paper in her hand.

"Look Tsu-kun! I receive an interesting flyer about a home tutor coming!" She waved the brochure in his face happily, "It looked so interesting that I called the number on it immediately.

"Mom, you do know that I will not be needing a tutor. You of all people should know that I can handle this on my own."

She ignored his childish protests and began to read the contents of the paper."It also says that as long as they have a place to sleep and a meal, they'll teach you for twenty-four hours free!"

"Mom, that looks like a scam, and there's no sane perso-" The ex-delinquent stopped midway. 'There's absolutely no sane person who would teach a brat for free! Unles-'

"Ciaossu. Starting from today I'll be looking out for you" Tsuna immediately snapped his head at the source of the voice. He could see a baby standing tall and proud in the table. His eyes wandered to the person's appearance. An all black suit, yellow pacifier and a black fedora with orange stripe running around it. He also noted the green chameleon sitting in his fedora.

Tsuna's face was immediately devoid of any emotions, recognizing the stranger with only his appearance.

'.. Reborn'

The brown haired delinquent didn't spout any surprise gasp or anything, since he knows it will draw unnecessary suspicion about him. So he thought about his situation carefully.

It's true that it wasn't in his calculations that the World's Greatest Hitman, Reborn, would be arriving today in Namimori since he was expecting at least a week for him to arrive. But still he have nothing to worry about, he had already changed his record in his previous school. In the records, he's just another average student trying hard to have good grades. And he knew that even if Reborn would try to asked his former classmates or any of his gang members about him, they would not spit any information about him. So now that that the hitman is here, he'll just have to continue his act in being weak and stupid.

The brunet snapped at his trance and smiled charmingly at the baby in front of him. Reacting like any other normal teenagers out there, Tsuna asked in a kind voice.

"Are you lost?"

Reborn stared at the brunet's caramel orbs, evaluating his student. He narrowed his eyes in suspicion, according to the data he received from Iemitsu, Tsunayoshi is supposed to be timid and completely pathetic. Since, he have poor grades and is not very athletic plus the fact that he's utterly clumsy. But why is he not unfazed at all at his staring? The common reaction he always received was that someone would at least fidget.

The sun arcobaleno smirked, he should have known not to trust the information of Tsunayoshi's no good father. After all, Iemitsu hadn't been here to see and observed his son's growths and improvements.

"Oh, where did you come from little boy?" Nana asked with the same kindness as her son.

"I'm a home tutor, Reborn." The said person greeted in an undeniably squeaky voice. Reborn waited, expecting some laughter or some usual mocking he always recieved from the people when he says that boldly. But seconds passed and yet he received not one reaction from the browned haired mother and son. They only stared at him with an impassive look.

Feeling annoyed, Reborn jumped and went to deliver a kick in his student's head but it was avoided easily by Tsuna, who only moved his head to his left. The black-haired hitman easily somersault and fall towards the floor without any sound. A devious smirked graced his lips as he realized one thing,

'Seems that the data about dame-Tsuna is outdated...'

Nana let out a big smile as she clapped at the baby's amazing performance. She may be dense at some point but she knows that having a baby do that kind of feat, requires a great amount of skill. As much as she wants to ask how in the world a baby could do that, she can't since it will be too weird even for her. She could make a guess that this baby is somehow affiliated with the mafia judging by the way he acts, and if indeed he is then the more reason she will have to continue to act that she's dense and naive. She can't afford to let Iemitsu know that she knows that they are involved in the mafia.

Tsuna calmly wiped his lips with the tissue in front of him before standing up and excusing himself, saying that he's done eating and that he'll proceed to take a shower. He could feel his new tutor's lingering stare at his back but paid no heed to it, and instead ran his hands to his long hair as he made his way upstairs, where the bathroom is.

On the outside he may appear calm and collected, but his mind is all in jumbled, keep on blaming himself for what he did just a minute ago. He shouldn't have dodge the hitman's kick but at that moment his fighting instincts just decided to kick in. He may be glad that he didn't receive a big bruise on the cheeks from the hitman, but his action is a clear indication that he's not what he seems he is. Now he knows that his new tutor will keep a careful eye on him and will take note every action he does.

'It's no use thinking about it now..' The brunet sighed, 'It's already done...'

Reborn patiently waited for his new found pupil to finish his bath. He had made up his mind that he'll not tell dame-Tsuna about his real intention of coming here and instead observe his actions more. He took a sip at his espresso coffee, as he remembered again that one moment when the brunet evade his kick. He's quite fond of that discovery actually, it really shows how interesting his new pupil will be.

The hitman while delivering his kick, stared and observed the look on Tsuna's eyes. At that moment, he can't helped but widened his eyes a little, as he noticed the calm orange glint in his student's eyes. But that's not the only thing that surprise him, Reborn also noted that it seems that the moment he jumped, Tsuna had already predicted where he is aiming for, the brunet's right cheek and quickly made his move.

A small yet dark chuckle escape his lips as he whispered, "Tort-tutoring dame-Tsuna will be more fun and interesting that I thought."

At exactly 8:15, thirty more minutes before class will start, Tsuna made his way downstairs with his soft brown hair slightly damped yet still manage to spike at every direction. He went to his mother, kissed her cheeks before muttering his good bye, not even casting a glance at the hitman tutor knowing that Reborn will follow him.

The brunet went outside and walk towards his school, his eyes fixed on to ground. So when all of a sudden a chihuahua barked at him, he can't helped but inch back and shriek in surprise "HIIE!"

Reborn jumped from the fence and went to the beige colored dog, petting it in the head. The chihuahua's ferocious growl turned into soft whimpering before wagging it's tail. "You're the single middle-schooler on this earth who's afraid of chihuahuas." came the mocking voice of Reborn, before turning his heel and narrowing his eyes.

'Which is kind of suspicious too, with the fact that you easily dodge my kick. Is he faking it?' He took a glance at the brunet at his back, then shaking his head, '...It can't be. His reaction came out too real and natural.'

"Aww! How cute!"

"Ciaossu!"

"Good morning!"

Tsuna stared at the idol of Namimori Middle School, Kyoko Sasagawa with a bored look. He admits he find her looks above average compared to the other female students, but her beauty's not enough for him to fall madly heels in love with her.

"Is this kid your younger brother?" came a feminine voice from Kyoko's back.

"No, he's not." Tsuna denied calmly as stared at the brown haired teen in front of him. He swear that he had seen that girl's uniform somewhere but can't place his finger on it. 'Must be that elite Midori Middle School'

"Why are you wearing a suit?"

"Because I'm in the mafia."

"Wow! That's so cool!" The orange teen squealed before standing up, "I'm going to be late for school, so see you later little boy."

"Oh! I'm going to be late too! See you!"

The brunet stared at the two girl's leaving back, his intuition sparking. As if telling him something that he will be seeing that girls more often somewhere in the future. Tsuna inwardly rolled his eyes, 'Don't tell me I'm going to involve them in the mafia?'

Reborn caught his pupil staring at Kyoko's back and can't helped but assumed, "You have a crush on that girl, don't you?"

"I don't." Tsuna said with a straight face, "And first of all this kind of things shouldn't concern you."

"As your home tutor I should understand all these kinds of relationships" Reborn said with his usual squeaky voice, "Now, go confess to Sasagawa Kyoko."

Tsuna widened his eyes, realizing what will happen next. 'He will not shoot the dying will bullet will he?!'

As if on slow motion, Reborn reached to his fedora and the green chameleon immediately transformed in to a gun.

"Die."

The brunet closed his eyes and let himself fall in to the cold hard ground. He knows that he absolutely cannot be shot with the dying will bullet if he doesn't have any regrets so he did the only thing he could think of. Dodge the dying will bullet and just activate willingly his HDWM.

With the Hyper Dying Will Mode, or also known as HDWM, it doesn't need a person with regrets to activate it. If you are one of the few strong selected ones you may be able to activate it. Meanwhile, with the Dying Will bullet, it could be use to shoot any person with regrets to activate their flames and to be able to remove the person's safety switches, making them gain overwhelming strength.

In the case of Tsuna, he doesn't need anymore to be shot with the Dying Will bullet since he doesn't have any inch of regret and he could just activate his HDWM but since he doesn't want to let his tutor know that he could activate it, he'll just pretend that he got shot. So the moment that Reborn blink, Tsuna used that opportunity to grabbed the incoming fast bullet and place it in his pockets before falling to the ground.

Reborn smirked as he watched a bright orange flame ignite in the brunet's forehead. He may had the slight anxiety at first when he had shot the bullet since he wasn't that sure if dame-Tsuna had a crush on that girl, Sasagawa Kyoko but still it had worked out good.

The brown haired teen dusted his trousers before standing up, the bright orange glint in his eyes plus the flame on his forehead clearly evident. Tsuna didn't remove his clothes much to Reborn's dismay, he really was anticipating for the brunet lose his clothes and be humiliated in front of the school as he try to confess to the pretty orange teen. The hitman tsk-ed, he should have known that there are also some people who doesn't lose their clothes when shot with the bullet.

Reborn stared at his dame student who only stared at the road before him before crouching down as if in a running competition. He could see the arrogant smirk that went to dame-Tsuna's lips. After three seconds, Tsuna immediately dashed forward his destination locked; Namimori Middle School.

Tsuna sprinted undeniably fast through the road with the harsh wind hitting his face and dust leaving behind elderly people that he happened to crossed by shouted vehemently at him. He forced himself to ran since he knows that Reborn is watching him somewhere probably with amusement in his eyes. He can't afford to stop at his sprinting and walked casually, it'll draw more suspicion on him since he didn't follow by the dying will bullet wish.

Engrossed with his thoughts, he went passed by his target, Kyoko Sasagawa. He cursed under his breath, he couldn't make a sudden stop and turn to Kyoko because of his momentum. So when he ran to a dead end, he walked up to the wall, his fluffy brown hair swayed as he made a back flip before falling unto the ground. He easily regained his speed but when all of a sudden a truck went in front of him, he can't helped but smack through it and be blown away. When he was thrown high up in the air, he could see his school below him. Noticing the green fence behind him, he used it to repel himself and to be thrown away directly at the entrance of Namimori Middle School.

He rolled a few times before he elegantly land himself in front of Kyoko. Many saw what happened and can't helped but gawk and clap in astonishment, thinking along the lines, 'How could he still stay alive after that fall?', 'He is soo hoooot!~', 'Isn't that the new student?'. 'Why was he up in the air in the first place?' and many more.

Tsuna suddenly grabbed Kyoko's wrist making her gasp in surprise. He only smiled charmingly at her before kissing her hand. Girls immediately fainted with blood running on their nose at the brunet's action, wishing that they were in the place of their idol instead.

"I like you, would you please go out with me?"

A hand from behind suddenly grabbed the brunet's shoulders, making Tsuna curiously looked back but still not letting go of the orange teen's hand. Judging by how he looks this must be the rumored, Kensuke Mochida, the captain of the Kendo Club. He had heard the rumors about him, saying that Mochida has also a crush on Kyoko and always drive away her suitors.

Tsuna saw his senpai draw a fist, ready to punch him in the face but he didn't dodge it this time, he let take a blow on his face. He knows that it'll only leave a small bruise and will not hurt that much compare to Reborn's kick. When he fell in to the ground, he extinguish the flame in his forehead and just in time for his new found tutor, Reborn to came flying down with his Leon parachute.

"..Reborn," the brunet muttered with his hand on his head, as if he's dizzy. "What happened to me?"

"This is the dying will bullet. A person shot in the head by this will be resurrected with dying will." Reborn explained holding a red bullet in his tiny hands. "The basis of resurrectio-"

Ding... dong..

"What are you doing here?" came a familiar voice. "Class have started."

"Y-yes, Hibari-san" Tsuna stuttered, his dame act already in place. He quickly ran towards his classroom. "I-I'm sorry!"

Author's note:

Hi guys, first of all I want to inform you that I'm kind of losing interest in writing this story and other stories of mine. And school will be starting this June so I need to focus more on my studies, I don't want to disappoint you so I'm informing you ahead of time that maybe I'll not update anymore, same with my other story of mine sucks since I broke Tsuna's character many times and all, oh well.

Few notes / reminders here:

As you all know, Tsuna is hiding the fact that he's cool and awesome but sometimes he forget that he is supposed to act weak and stupid. And when he is in HDWM, he let his true cool personality resurface, but still Reborn didn't know that this is Tsuna's true personality. He only thought of it as, when Tsuna is hit by the bullet, his personality only changed, Tsuna will be more serious and calm.

But Reborn is still confused about his student, he can't seem to figure out what Tsuna's true personality is. Is he faking being dumb or stupid? If that's true then that explains how Tsuna easily dodge his kick. The students is also kind of bewildered about Tsuna too, but didn't mind it too much. Thinking to themselves that maybe their first impression of Tsuna of being stupid is wrong and in fact he really is cool when he wants to be.

Only Hibari knows Tsuna's true nature, that indeed he is someone capable of fighting. The reason Hibari knows Tsuna is because the brunet is a famous delinquent in his school and Hibari heard some rumors about him and tried to challenged him before but only end up losing. That's his reason for his animosity. But still he couldn't comprehend the fact on why Tsuna has to pretend his weak.

Hmm, seems that Tsuna is hiding a lot of things. To tell you the truth, I'm honestly confused too. *sigh* I don't even know where this story is heading, I just kept on writing. Anyways, thank you for reading all this time!
