A/N: I would like to thank everyone that added this story to their favourites and follows as well as everyone that reviewed the last chapter.

"I'm really sorry about this, Fon but Reborn really insisted to come with me."

Narumi forced a smile on her lips as Reborn and her took their seat across Fon. The black-haired man made no comment, only flickering his eyes from her to Reborn. Amusement shone through his brown eyes as if he knew what was the real story behind Reborn coming here. If he really was Reborn's old friend like he claimed then he knew how difficult it was to convince Reborn not to come.

She spent too much time with Reborn that she came to realize arguing with him was just pointless. He didn't even look like he was going to budge the moment I mention that it was Fon. She darted her eyes to Reborn, who had a fixed smile on his lips as his eyes focused on the amused eyes of the black-haired man sitting across them.

"Is it terribly wrong for me to see my old friend with you?" Reborn asked. Narumi snapped her head at him, eyebrows twitching at his words. Was he seriously going to continue saying that? If Fon was really his old friend then he could have met him any time. Not when Fon wanted to know more about what Hibari had been up to when he wasn't here.

But of course Reborn didn't seem to believe it. It is like I'm dealing with a jealous, possessive boyfriend. The thought made her snort. Reborn and her might have the fake relationship going between them but it didn't mean he had to go to the extreme with that role. She rubbed the sides of her head as Fon kept darting his eyes from her to Reborn.

"I am sure that is the reason you wanted to come with her, Reborn," Fon answered. Narumi blinked and curled her lips into a smile. It seemed like she was not the only one who didn't believed Reborn when he claimed that he wanted to see his friend again. Either he was being very clear with his intentions or the black-haired man knew the hitman as well as she did.

She would like to believe it was the latter and not the former. I guess Fon knows Reborn well. Now she only had this thought because Reborn looked visibly irritated at his words. A small scowl played on his lips and the hitman tilted his hat downwards. There was an insane urge for her to pinch his cheeks but she held it in.

It was already embarrassing enough for them to always kiss in public, but it would be even more weird for her to pinch his cheek. Letting out a little laugh, the blonde leaned her body forward and fixated her eyes on Fon. Since Fon seemed to be good friends with Reborn, then it would be nice for her to get to know more about the irritating man beside her.

"How do you handle being friends with Reborn?" Narumi asked. Fon chuckled, looking faintly amused by the question. It seemed like the man understood the challenges of being friends with the man beside her. That made her smile. She darted her blue eyes to Reborn. Her friend did not look one bit amused by her question.

The hitman raised a single eyebrow and swirled his head at her. "What does that mean?"

"Well you are hard to handle," Narumi replied innocently. He snorted and looked faintly amused by her answer while Fon nodded his head. He kind of looks good when he makes that expression. She paused. That was a weird thought even for her. But then again Reborn was well-known for being handsome in their neighborhood. There had been too many times when the female teachers tried popping into her office, hoping for a glimpse of the man.

Whenever that happened, she wanted to knock them out.

Shaking her head, she darted her eyes at Fon. The black-haired man had his eyes fixated on Reborn, looking at him like he was trying to figure out what was going through his mind. She wished him luck on that. She spent half of her time with the hitman and she still couldn't understand what goes through his mind.

"Are the two of you dating?" Fon asked, curling his lips into a serene smile.

Narumi blinked while Reborn smirked. Blue eyes widened when the black-haired man placed his arm over her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. Should she push him away? They were in a restaurant but someone might see them. There was also the fact that she kind of liked the feeling of his arm around her. It felt really warm.

It was also hard for her to push him away when his scent clung to her nose, making her mind slightly foggy.

"Narumi is my girlfriend," Reborn answered. He turned his head to look at her and Narumi could see the intensity in his eyes. There was a possessiveness in his voice made her whole body shiver. Not again. She should definitely not like it. She should also remind him again that they weren't actually dating or in a relationship.

But of course when they were alone in private.

Fon did not say anything, only raising a single eyebrow at them. Is it that hard to believe that he would date me? The question was on the tip of her tongue and her eyebrows twitched. She was just as attractive as the man beside her. Narumi took in a deep breath as a waitress came to them. She couldn't hear what Fon or Reborn ordered, nor did she care.

She just wanted to know one thing. It had been understandable when Bianchi said it. The pink-haired woman was heartbroken that the man she loved had moved on from her. That was something Narumi would never take away from the woman. Although she still believed the woman was overreacting with the knowledge that Reborn dumped her and moved on to her.

"Is it that hard to believe Reborn is dating me?" Narumi asked once the waitress left. Fon blinked while Reborn swirled his head at her, eyebrows raised at the sudden question. She forced herself to smile at them as her blue eyes focused on the waitress who had just left. She didn't even know why it bothered her so much.

As a teenager in her second life, there had been so many boys who wanted to date her. Even though she had been a delinquent, the boys did find her desirable in some way. If it weren't for the fact that she was a reincarnated soul, she probably would have dated them. But it was weird for her to date someone who was so much younger than her.

"Reborn doesn't have a preference to the types of women that he would date," Fon answered. So you also believe that he is a womanizer. The thought was more reassuring than she thought. Her lips curled into a bright smile while Reborn glared at Fon. Now she could honestly believe that those two were friends because only a friend would be willing to say this.

God if it wasn't for the fact that he needed her for the fake dating thing, then she would always remind him of this fact. I think Fon and Shikamaru will get along well. The thought made her smile and Narumi tilted her head. Now that she thought about it, he didn't think it was weird for Reborn to date her. There must be another reason that he was surprised.

"So what surprised you?" Narumi asked.

"I found it hard to believe you would be the type to date someone like Reborn," Fon replied. Narumi beamed while Reborn narrowed his eyes at the calm man sitting right in front of them. "You seem way too smart to date him."

Narumi smiled even wider at the compliment while Reborn grunted. She jabbed him in the rib, earning a sharp intake of breath from the man. He twisted his head at her and she smiled even wider. His black eyes changed from irritation to another emotion that she could not identify. She cleared her throat and flashed him a small smile.

"You should take pointers from him," she informed the man. He scowled while her student's uncle let out a chuckle, looking even more amused by her words. What? Even if I was dating him, I won't be moved by the words coming out of his mouth. She had been around Kakashi and Jiraiya that she knew every charmed word that could come out of a man's mouth.

The whiskered woman squeaked when Reborn pinched her ribs. She moved closer to him and narrowed her eyes at him. Fon did not seem fazed one bit by what happened. Forcing a smile on her lips, the woman tilted her head and placed her mouth close to his ear. If she didn't want Fon to know that they were lying about the relationship then this was needed.

"What was that for, Reborn?" She hissed.

Reborn smirked. "That was for the fact you complimented him and insulted me at the same time."

She could still feel a sting in her ribs at the pinch that her fake boyfriend gave her. Well did she need to give him pointers on how to date someone? Sai did an even better job than Reborn and the teen had read a book on how to be a good boyfriend. Maybe she should see if someone created the same book and give it to the man as a birthday gift.

"Y'know I have to wonder how all of those girls dated you," Narumi whispered to him. "I think they went for your looks but definitely not for your brains or your ability to compliment a woman."

The man did not dare to deny her words, instead he just looked down at her with black eyes gleaming with amusement. She wrinkled her nose. There was nothing amusing about her words. It was the truth. If it were not for his good looks, she doubt the man would have gotten so many girls to date him. Why else would all those women date him?

"They also enjoyed my kisses," Reborn commented. Narumi felt her eyebrows twitched. So what? Just because they liked his kisses, did not mean that they were smart. It just meant one kiss from him was enough to make them weak in their knees. The same thing happened to her but she would never consider dating him because of his kisses.

Fon coughed and Narumi swirled her head at him. She groaned. Right. The reason that she was here was because of Kyoya. The man wanted to know what Kyoya was going through in school. He was not here to see Reborn annoying the crap out of her. She took in a deep breath and scooted away from Reborn.

"Sorry, I will talk to you about—"

Ring.

Narumi frowned and pulled out her phone from her bag. Tsuna. This made her knit her eyebrows together. Did something happen? She did tell her cousin before she left the house with Reborn that he was in charge of Lambo. Oh no. Did something happen to the boy? Was he making problems for Tsuna? It would not be the first time Lambo did something like this.

"I need to take this call," Narumi informed them. "I think Tsuna needs my help with dealing with Lambo."

That better be the reason for his call.

"You seem to be very serious about her, Reborn."

Fon took a sip of his tea with a serene smile playing on his lips as Reborn snapped his head at him. He should correct the man and tell him that Narumi and him did not have a serious relationship. But if he admit it then the man could take it as his opportunity to ask the whiskered woman out on a date. Fon was well-known for his sneak attacks and it wouldn't surprise him if this had been his attempt for a date.

Not that he could blame Fon. Narumi was obliviously blind when someone was interested in her. Is it that hard to believe Reborn is dating me? If it was not for the fact he respected her and the fact she was Tsuna's cousin, he would make it very clear to her of how much he found her attractive. The amount of times he needed a cold shower was because of her.

No one else but her.

"She is different," he admitted. Different could be taken as anything. Different could be about her personality. It could be the fact that she looked so much more unique than the other women he flirted with. There was also the fact Narumi made the best expressions whenever he annoyed the hell out of her. There was also the fact she was able to make him feel weak in the knees with just one kiss.

There was also the fact Narumi had been the only woman who had no problem trying to correct him. No one can survive a punch from her. Even now, he could still feel the lingering pain in his body from when she sent him to the hospital. He rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at his own drink before looking at Fon.

"I can tell that she is different," Fon said. He smiled even brighter and took another sip of his tea. His brown eyes flashed with amusement and another emotion that Reborn knew all too well when they used to work together. That calculating look made him feel nervous. "Narumi is quite fun to be around, isn't she?"

Reborn snorted and nodded his head. She could say one thing while her whole face spoke of another thing entirely. It made it more fun for him to tease the girl. Sometimes he would watch her as she taught her students in her classroom. Most of the boys seemed to be either half-in-love with her or complained about her behavior towards them. The girls mostly hated her for not caring about their love problems.

To be fair on Narumi, their problems were probably irritating to listen.

"You know, she is even more fun when she is furious," he informed him. When Narumi get furious, her face would go red and her hair would just split into what it seemed like 9 tails. Her chest would heave and well his eyes could never stop looking at it. Whenever that happened, he barely paid any attention to whatever Narumi was saying to him.

Fon curled his lips into a smile and his brown eyes softened. "You are finally moving on from Luce."

"Nothing ever happened between Luce and me," he informed him. Luce had been a dear friend to him but that was it. The woman had been pregnant when they met and it was only natural that he would have been curious to know of her feelings about their duty. To be pregnant at the time of their curse had been curious. It worried him when he thought about it.

Not only had she been cursed to forever be stuck at that age but Luce had been cursed with a shorten lifespan.

"I know," Fon replied. "But you were close with her and while you never harmonized with Luce…you were still hurt when she disappeared."

Reborn grimaced at the reminder. He did not know how long it had been since Luce disappeared but it had been a shock when he went over to her headquarters, only to be told that Luce had just disappeared. He sighed and looked out to the window. Would Luce have enjoyed Narumi like Fon and him did? She would have enjoyed her.

The woman had a way of making someone like her. If it was not for the expressions that she made then it was for the way she talked. She is a little bit too popular. That boy Kimura seemed to know Narumi better than he thought. Narumi met the man only once and they were already acting like they were the best of friends. The same went for Fon.

He could not fully understand why Narumi had been different with him from the moment they met.

"Do you have any plans of telling her about the curse?" Fon asked. Reborn snapped his head up as brown eyes looked at him with curiosity. Tell Narumi? Why would everyone ask him about it? Just because they were fake dating, it did not mean he should tell her about the fact that he was probably old enough to be her grandfather.

How the hell did they expect him to explain to Narumi that his body was frozen in time? He couldn't do it. Even if she was his friend, his fake girlfriend or whatever they were…he could not tell her. It was rather unbelievable for her to believe. Beside, there was no reason for him to ever tell the woman that he was forever stuck in time.

"I'm never going to tell her."

Fon sighed and thinned his lips into a very thin line. The storm arcobaleno did not look one bit pleased by his answer but Reborn only tilted his hat downwards. It was better for everyone if he kept it a secret from her. Perhaps she would accept it but he knew she might tell him to try and break the curse on himself.

He accepted the curse now and he would devote himself to making sure his student would become a good leader for the Mafia.

"If you plan to stick around her then you have to tell her," Fon pointed out.

Reborn grunted. "There is no need for me to tell her."

"She is going to wonder why you aren't aging," he reminded him. Reborn tightened his grip on his hat as brown eyes locked eyes on him, daring him to argue against that point. If that happened then he would explain it to her. If she was a 40-year-old woman and he was still stuck in this body then he would explain it to her.

He would explain it then but Reborn felt like he had to correct Fon on one thing.

"Our relationship is never going to reach that point where I have to tell her."

Fon sighed.

"Reborn, everyone can see that Narumi is different for you."
