"Oi Tsuna!"

Reborn's voice was laced with concern as he gently shook the unconscious brunette.

He felt a cold chill down his spine as the brunette convulsed and let out a pained whine as trails of blood started to drip from his mouth, nose, ears and eyes, he could easily tell that there was internal damage caused.

"Baka-Tsuna!"

The hitman hissed as he scooped up the boy into his arms and ran all the way to the infirmary.

Shamal spin around in his chair in shock as the hitman kicked his way through the door. He opened his mouth to object until he noticed the unconscious brunette.

The doctor let out a curse as he motioned the hitman over towards one of the many beds.

"What the hell happened?! He was just here!"

The doctor hissed as he began to check the brunette's vitals.

"I felt his flame and then I ran towards his room, he was unconscious when I found him"

Reborn supplied as he moved out of the doctor's way.

"Get out, I'll need to do some tests and fix his internal bleeding"

Reborn didn't even argue as he was sent out of the infirmary, he didn't dare waste time arguing when Tsuna's life was on the line.

When Shamal exited the infirmary, Reborn noted that the perverted doctor seemed all wrung out.

He looked towards Shamal in askance of the brunette's condition. Shamal shook his head tiredly as he removed his gloves and shook his head.

"It's not good.... Decimo's flames keep on building up to fast... I've had to drain them five times to keep them at a safe level"

The doctor sighed, Reborn frowned on disappointment at the doctor's words, he didn't like them at all yet he knew not to doubt them.

"What about his body?...."

Reborn asked, his voice unusually soft with concern as he glanced towards the infirmary.

"I managed to fix the damage.... But the next time he releases his flame he will die"

Reborn felt unease swirling surging his chest at the thought of his ex student now friend dying, he had grown quite close to the brunette over the years.

"Isn't there anything that can be done besides fixing the bazooka?....."

A tired yet wry smile graced the doctor's lips as he nodded.

"I finished the flame drain rings that I had been working before everything started to happen"

The hitman raised a curious brow.

"Flame drain rings?"

"Yeah, Decimo came up to me once and asked for a way to have his flames suppressed because he realized that he regained his flames too quickly"

Reborn nodded in understanding as he remembered how often the brunette had randomly went into dying will mode or even just randomly blasted X-Burners into the sky.

"That explains a few things"

The hitman stated in understanding.

"Well anyways, I slipped the rings into his fingers so they will continuously drab his flames, however he will still die if he uses them. I just made it so that he doesn't explode"

Shamal added with a slight grimace at the thought of the brunette exploding.

"So he needs to keep them on at all times, anyways, is it safe for me to see him?"

The doctor nodded and motioned towards the infirmary door.

Reborn grimaced inwardly at the strong tang of disinfectant that was lingering within the air.

He then walked over towards the bed where Tsuna was. The small boy looked even more frail than before with how the many machines and breathing mask were attached to him.

"Dame-Tsuna, why are you always causing so many problems that need me to keep an eye on you...."

Reborn sighed as he sat down on a chair next to the bed. His gaze flickered towards the brunette's hands to see four thin silver bands on one and two silver bands on the other one. He hoped that the rings would do their job effectively in draining the boy's flames.

A soft whimper escaped from the brunette's lips in response causing the hitman to stand up in surprise.

"Tsuna?...."

Dazed honey orbs blinked open slowly to the sight of Reborn hovering over him in concern.

'Ah I'm in the infirmary again....I really messed up....'

"Re–ack!"

'My throat.... So sore....'

Coughs began to erupt from the brunette's throat after he attempted to speak.

'Need to get rid of the breathing mask....'

Tsuna weakly brought his hands up to the breathing mask and began trying to pull it off, but he just felt so weak. Thankfully Reborn quickly realized what he was trying to do and removed the horrid mask for him.

"Baka-Tsuna, what the hell were you thinking by using your flame ?!? I I hadn't found you, you would have died Tsuna! Do you understand?!"

'I'm glad that he cares about me, though I feel a little guilty for worrying him'

Despite the circumstances, Tsuna couldn't help the soft giggle that escaped his lips at the hitman's upset demeanour.

"It's not funny dame-Tsuna, we almost lost you"

The pain lacing the hitman's voice caused the brunette to pause and look into onyx orbs guiltily.

"Sorry... I only wanted to let a little bit of my flames out.... I didn't mean to let them all out..."

Reborn shook his head and let out a tired sigh.

"Stupido, if something is filled too much, whenever an opening is made, the contents spill out at an uncontrollable speed. Of course you couldn't stop the flame flow"

The hitman scolded as he hit the brunette on the head lightly. The brunette blushed in embarrassment at his own stupidity.

"I didn't think about that..... Sorry"

Reborn shook his head.

"Sorry doesn't revive the dead Baka-Tsuna"

The hitman growled as he crossed his arms, his fedora was lowered so as to hide his face.

"I know.... I promise that I'll be more careful Reborn"

Tsuna whispered softly.

"Don't go making promises that we both know that you won't keep"

The hitman huffed in distaste.

Me: lalala hope ya enjoyed the chappy~~ Tsuna was stupid and reborn was worried~ nothing more to say hehe~
