KHR: Acceptance

Chapter 2: The Truth

Warning: Bad Language

After Tsuna's birthday, everything went back to normal. He was smiling, laughing and cheerful like nothing happened. Even so for Reborn, it was still suspicious. The day came when Ren left not without a promise she'll visit again. But before she leave, Ren gave her business card to Reborn with a note.

If ever need something or information, just call. Except about my life and Sawada Household

Reborn smirk, he can surely need someone to get information with but too bad he can't ask anything about his student. There's a secret in this family and Reborn will make sure he'll find that out, he is the number one hitman after all.

November 18, The P.E. Teacher announced the next exam will be their Swimming which made Tsuna shiver. He doesn't know how to swim and very convinced he'll drown to death. The exam will be next two days and right now, they were tasked to clean the pool. Everyone were cleaning, Tsuna can't hide his fear that his friends noticed.

"What's wrong Tsuna-kun?" Kyoko worriedly asked. Tsuna looked back to her and blushed. He hesitated but answered, "I... I don't know how to swim."

"You don't?" Kyoko was bit surprised. Gokudera and Yamamoto heard it and went to Tsuna.

"You can't swim Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked, he got the answer when Tsuna nod shyly.

"Hehe, don't worry Juudaime, I your right hand will help you out." Gokudera proudly proclaim to his Juudaime.

Tsuna sweat drop, for some reason he has a bad feeling for it... and it did. Reborn came out of no where and landed to Yamamoto's shoulder.

"Chaossu" Reborn greeted to everyone.

"Yo kid" Yamamoto greeted.

"Reborn"

"Reborn-san"

"Huhuhu, Dame Tsuna so you don't know how to swim huh." There's a tease on Reborn's voice but his eyes were telling something else which made him shiver.

"N-no need... I-I'll just... you know... hehe..." Tsuna wanted to escape... but, "Don't worry Juudaime, I'll teach you how to swim!"

"I'll help you too." Yamamoto smiley said then got an idea, "Hey why don't we go on the pool tomorrow? We can swim and we can teach you. It will be fun!"

"Oh good idea, I'll invite nii-san and Haru-chan then." Kyoko was happy on the idea.

Reborn smirked.

"W-wait a minute, really no need guys." Tsuna doesn't want to go or even learn at all.

"Dame Tsuna it's the boss duty to know how to survive. A pathetic boss who doesn't know how to swim is the embarrassment to the Vongola." Reborn said sharply.

"I told you I don't want to become a boss Reborn!"

Reborn smirked once again, "Prepare for your training Dame Tsuna."

"HIEEEE"

Both Yamamoto and Kyoko were laughing while Gokudera was arguing to Yamamoto about laughing at his boss.

Tsuna was down, he can never win to any arguments against Reborn. But deep within, something's coming out. It was... his own darkness.

'No, no one should know... I...'

Reborn noticed Tsuna's sudden strange behavior, like he's afraid about something. He decided to observed than tease him.

Later at dinner.

"Tsu-kun I heard from Reborn-kun your friends will be going on the pool right?" Nana cheerfully asked that surprised Tsuna. He hesitantly nodded as his answer.
