This is my experimental story attempt on a Parental!Reborn with Child!Tsuna and Child!Enma.

I don't own KHR!

Enjoy!~

Summary:He is an Assassin, a feared Hitman of the darkened world, an Arcobaleno. He's meant to be alone well, not entirely but he did estranged himself from the rest of the world. Companionship and Symphaty should never be in his vocabulary, so pray tell why not only once did he reach out his hand and said, "Would you like to come with me?"

A/N: Please disregard the occurring grammatical errors and typos. Since I really don't have that much time, I've only managed to correct some of them at the moment and there still are mistakes lurking. Getting someone to Beta for my stories is actually a nice idea but since my updates have rare occurrences, it's not actually an advisable one. I simply don't want to go popping out and asking for someone to correct my mistakes during really inconvenient moments. So there.

Title is subjected for a change and I'm all up for your suggestions!~


~The Sun that Guided~

It was supposedly another normal day, well ordinary within his range of acknowledgement anyway. Since he's never unto what normal people do . He was a famed Hitman and his days primarily composed of completing what his clients asks him too.

He would kill, obviously. That's where his line of work applies.

He lived within the very codes of his own pride and honor; however he won't hesitate breaking them within justified reasons. There are certain things he won't hesitate to defy even if it meant not completing his given tasks, failing and creating one-less of a client.

There simply are things in life that even a skilled assassin as great as he would be willing to take a great risk on.

And he's on one of those given situation right at the very moment.

His current mission is to hunt down a certain 'Tsunayoshi Sawada' and bring him to his mysterious client. He can bring him alive but his target being dead is not a bad idea either, Reborn's intuition even suggests that his client actually prefers for the target, dead. According to the data given to him, Tsunayoshi Sawada is a great threat to his client and his clients family. Reborn is to dispose of the boy immediately as to not create further damage.

But it was never in his mission file that he is to kill a kid. Yes, Tsunayoshi Sawada is a mere seven-year old.

Somehow, he blamed himself for not studying his mission file far more than he should have. He never even questioned the lack of photograph and simply settled with his supposed target's site.

Tsunayoshi Sawada is a small kid with gravity defying brown locks, caramel brown eyes and a stature a lot smaller than kids around his age. He's currently wearing tattered clothes that were obviously too big for him. The boy's currently sporting bruises and fresh wounds, not to mention the many scars and scratches that found their way on his small body. His face is clean, too clean that a reddening shape of what obviously is an adult's hand had been visible and a small cut on his upper lip, with blood that already had dried up had been noticeable.

The Hitman can't help but study the young boy's features. The boy was obviously abused, if his countless wounds don't give it up then his eyes will. The child's pair of orbs was devoid of any emotion. There's no warmth, no love and never a hint of happiness, even sadness and fear were absent. Seems like both physical and emotional pain had been too much for him to take that the boy disregarded all of his emotions, maybe thinking that if he does, the pain will be much more bearable.

Reborn stared at the pair of caramel brown eyes who in return gazed back at him unfazed despite him leaking a very dangerous aura. The boy simply blinked and leaned against the wall and just continued staring. The Hitman can't help but have his lips curve up a little. The boy is interesting.

"Hey, mister"

Reborn can't help but stare at the child with more interest. It was a rarity that someone, especially one small child can still be brave enough to actually start a talk with the assassin, much more with a dangerous aura emitting. The man concluded that the small, fragile and weak looking boy that's right in front of him was no ordinary fellow.

"What?" The Hitman asked, hands can easily grab his gun and shoot. Despite that fact, he had his guard down. He can't sense any ill intention within the kid, actually he never did within the very moment he saw him sitting carelessly on the floor, his backside leaning against the wall. With his line of work, it was never the best advice to have your guard down even if within the mere presence of a child. Oftentimes, kids fall as a subject, a bait and if your to careless enough to fall for it, it would simply be your end.

He can't sense anything dangerous around the boy, though. Given, he can even see that his client is actually the criminal mastermind and the child had been the victim.

"Why haven't you taken your gun out yet and fire at me?" The boy asked with no emotion but the bit of his voice raising gave out the mere curiosity about why. The boy had been more confused with the trigger's haven't been pulled yet and not that he's being hunted. Actually, he seems not at all surprised that someone is about to kill him.

Reborn's eyes widened by a fraction. Did the boy knew what he was there for?

"Hey, how did you know?"

"The way your hand were in place,that's how father would be every time he threatens to shoot me. He never does anyway and just settles to inflicting pain in a different way.I'm pretty sure he's the one who contracted you to kill me, maybe he already got tired having his hands torturing me that he decided to finally end everything."

"Your father?"

"Hai, he hated me a lot, my mother does too. They said I'm just a pain and it would be better if I stay out of their way. See, they even made sure I can't go near them." The boy then moved a bit to his right, that's the moment where Reborn noticed chains connected from the lowest part of the wall and into the child's fragile and visibly aching feet. Giving out the obvious that the child is being shackled down against his own will, bounded with the chains and stopping him to his own freedom.

And seeing that, Reborn can't help himself but loath the boys so-called parents and with reasons he can't seem to explain yet, a sudden urge of over protectiveness towards the boy had surged out. He wanted to save the boy and be a so-called protector. It's actually quite ironic considering his chosen job, but hey... no matter which side you look at, he's still very much human. Thank You, very much.

The Hitman narrowed his eyes and came up with a decision he never thought he'll ever face. Looks like he'll have to disobey his clients again, not that he really minded. He's done it couple of times anyway.

"So, are you here to kill me?" The boy asked "If yes, can you make it faster?"

"No, I'm not here to kill you." The Hitman shrugged his shoulders. "Well, originally I'm supposed to but..."

"But what?"

"...but I have my mind changed, so why don't we take things on a far more interesting level." Reborn knelt to the child's level. "So what is your name?" he already knew based on his mission description, despite that he still can't help but ask.

"Tsunayoshi"

"Well then Tsunayoshi, do you want to come with me."

The boy blinked. Is this man for real?
