3rd Person's P.O.V

 Reborn changed his Leon-gun into a Leon-mallet. "Talk or else." Reborn threatened. Tsunami didn't want a bump to form on her head, so she started explaining.

 "And you forgot to tell me all of this when you told Byakuran first." Reborn stated. "Y-yeah, sorry. Please forgive me." Tsunami clapped her hands together in front of her and bowed, peeking through one eye while the other was closed.

 Reborn changed Leon back to his original state and Tsunami let out a sigh of relief.

 But then, Reborn's eyes glinted and Leon transformed into a bigger and heavier mallet than the previous. "Anything else you want to tell me before you lose your memories?" "HIIIIIEEEEE!!! WAIT, WAIT! There's something else I forgot to tell you!"

 Leon shifted into a chameleon again, so Tsunami took that as a sign to talk. She took breath. "We're in an anime now. Or to be more specific, we are an anime."

 Reborn stayed silent before he demanded, "Show me." Tsunami tilted her head. "Hm?" Reborn said, "Don't make me repeat myself, Dame-Tsuna." Tsunami quickly got up and turned the TV on. She commented and she sat down the couch, "You know, I was sure that you would say something like, 'Are you that desperate?' and hit me with the hammer before you actually believe me."

 "I've been with you long enough to know that you're not lying. However, ever since I came here, I can't read minds anymore," Reborn admitted.

 Tsunami's face lit up as she heard his last sentence. 'I can finally think in peace without him looking through my thoughts.'

 "Don't get too excited, Dame-Tsuna."

 "Eh? How did you know?"

 "You're face is too easy to read." Reborn approached Tsunami and flicked her forehead. Tsunami clenched her teeth so she wouldn't scream. Reborn smirked in satisfaction. "Good," he mumbled. "No reaction."

 Tsunami heard that and glared at him. Reborn just smirked in return. Tsunami just huffed and switched her attention back to the TV. Reborn sat down next to Tsunami.

 "REBORN! I'LL DEFUSE THOSE DYNAMITES LIKE MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!"

 Reborn blinked in surprise, and Tsunami jumped up a feet. 'Fudge! I accidentally pressed the remote!'

 Panicking a bit, Tsunami clicked out of the episode, her face turning red out of embarrassment. Reborn chuckled, "Ah, I haven't heard that in a while." Tsunami buried her red face into her knees.

 "Show me the anime from the beginning." Reborn demanded. Tsunami turned her head and gave a look at Reborn. "Why would you want to see it if you were there the whole time? Are you trying to destroy my pride?"

 "Oh? Is Dame-Tsuna talking back to me?" Reborn canceled all the questions with a question of his own.

 Tsunami didn't answer, but she handed him the remote like Reborn predicted she would. Tsunami got up and said, "Figure out how to use it yourself. I'll be upstairs if you need me."

 'No way I'm watching that all over again. Better escape before it's too late.' With that thought, Tsunami quickened her steps.

 But then, she felt Reborn grab her wrist. She struggled to break free, but the grip was too strong for her. Reborn forcefully pulled Tsunami towards him, causing her to stumble into the his arms. He locked his arms around Tsunami, preventing her to move and asked her, "Just where do you think you're going, Nami-chan~?"

 Tsunami paled as she struggled even more. This was the name that Reborn had called her when he was teasing her earlier.

 "T-to my room?" Tsunami replied questioningly. 'Shoot, I stuttered.' Reborn rested his head on Tsunami's left shoulder and sighed in disappointment. "And here I thought that I trained you well enough to be a good mafia boss. What should I do to punish you?" Reborn paused to make Tsunami nervous. "Ah, I know. You can sit with papa and watch your past life together, no? If you refuse, I'm afraid to promise that you won't get any head injuries."

 Tsunami stopped protesting. "Hmph. You're still as sadistic as ever, Renato." Reborn smacked her head with a Leon-newspaper as he answered, "But of course, my dear. I wouldn't call myself your tutor otherwise."

 "Just start it so I can get this over with."

 "You don't tell me what to do, Dame-Tsuna."

 "So they stopped it before you got the letter about the inheritance ceremony. Such a shame that we can't watch it." Reborn said as the last episode finally ended.

 "Yeah, too bad," Tsunami agreed, but her mind said the opposite. There was no way that she was going to tell him about the continuation of Katekyo Hitman Reborn in the manga. Absolutely not.

 "Now that I think of it, Leon is really special," Tsunami said as she reached her hand to pet Leon on Reborn's fedora.

 "Of course he is. Leon's my partner after all."

 "Not that. I was talking about how he can still change forms in this world where... I guess what they would call it 'magic' doesn't happen. But yeah, Leon is the one and only shape-shifting chameleon in this whole world."

 Leon crawled onto Tsunami's hand and licked her fingers. Tsunami giggled and brought Leon closer to her.

 "Tch," Reborn looked at the sight and looked away. Tsunami, who noticed it asked, "What, are you jealous, Renato? Or do you feel betrayed?" "Neither," Reborn denied. He glanced at the clock. "It's 4 o'clock. Are you going to cook something for dinner?"

 Tsunami stopped breathing. Then she slowly asked, "What time is it again?" "4:02 PM," Reborn said, studying Tsunami's expression.

 Tsunami blinked. Once. Twice. Thrice.

 She took a deep breath and asked calmly trying to contain her anger, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Reborn answered, "Because it wasn't 4:02 PM earlier." Tsunami glared at him. "You know that's not the answer I was looking for, Renato."

 Reborn merely shrugged and stood up. Tsunami followed his example. She announced, "I'm going to the grocery store," before grabbing her phone, wallet, and keys.

 Tsunami was making her way to the door when she turned around. "You're welcome to come, if you like. But we'll be speaking English since we are in the U.S." She slipped her feet inside her shoes and turned the door when she heard Reborn say, "Not going to wait for me?"

 She didn't answer and opened the door. "C'mon, we're leaving." Reborn chuckled to himself, "Ignoring and ordering your tutor? You've grown, Tsuna."
