Mars: Hello desu~! My name's Mars! This is my first fanfiction that i have published on so yay!

Tsubasa: She does not own any of the characters (but she wishes she does) because they all belong to Amano Akira-sensei, except for me of course and a few other characters that will appear later in the story.

Mars: Get out, Tsubasa! This is your debut, so get out!

Tsubasa: Fine, fine. Whatever. See ya and enjoy!

Ch.1 Shocking News! (Tsuna's POV)

'It's been peaceful since that incident in the future,' I thought. Then I sighed. 'At least I can rest for a while.'

Then, out of nowhere, I was kicked out my thoughts. Literally. "Aah!" I screamed as my face slammed into one of my room walls. I got up from the floor after a few seconds and rubbed my aching head. I looked at my attacker. "Re-Reborn! What was that for?!"

"It's no time to slack, Tsuna. We still have work to do," Reborn, my baby hitman tutor said. "We still have to train."

I gaped at him. "B-but I've only had 2 days to rest! I took a beating in the future! I've also been missing this whole time, and there is still school to consider!"

"So you want to go to school?" He asked me.

I opened my mouth to answer him, but then I thought of before, '"Hey Dame-Tsuna! Skip school again? You'll never stop being Dame-Tsuna will you?!"', I closed my mouth and shook my head. There was no way I wanted to hear those comments again. Reborn had sighed and started to speak again. "Also I have received information from Dino regarding the Vongola rings."

I snapped back into focus. My eyes widened in surprise. 'Information from Dino?' I had crawled closer to Reborn and looked at him anxious to know what the info is about. "What is it?"

Then out of nowhere, he started to drink a cup of tea. "It's only a rumor from long ago when the Primo Vongola was in charge, but... It seems there is an 8th Vongola ring."

I sputtered out of shock and couldn't form my sentences correctly. "N-no wa-! A-an 8th-?! How-?! Why-?! WHAT?!?!"

Reborn hit me again to help me pull myself together. "Don't be such a Dame-Tsuna. And yes, it seems so. But it's only a rumor, so don't assume anything yet."

"O-okay, s-sure... But why is it only a rumor?" I ask, and tilt my head to the side.

"It's because the 8th guardian wasn't officially part of the Vongola family and-"

"But Lambo isn't part of the Vongola family," I interrupted him, which would be the last time I did! He hit me much harder this time... I whimpered.

"Shut up, don't interrupt me again. As I said before, they weren't OFFICIALLY part of the Vongola family nor any other family. The 8th guardian was rumored to work for any family as long as what they were asked to do didn't violate their morals. This rumor only surfaced now. No one had known about it."

I gasped after realization hit. "So that means... Only the Primo Vongola knew about it?! And now Dino, you, and I know about it, too?! What about the Primo's guardians? Didn't they know? Should I tell the guardians?!"

Reborn shook his head. "No, I don't think they knew about it. None of the other Vongola bosses knew about it either, otherwise Nono Vongola would have said something. As for your guardians... Don't say anything for now. We don't want to put them into a frenzy. We still don't know if there was an 8th and we also have to consider the fact that we don't know if they are on our side or not."

I gulped. "T-true. What if they try to kill me though? What should I do?!"

"I will kill you first if you don't stop complaining," Reborn shoved his gun in my face. "Just be on the down side and try not to get into any trouble. Now get to school, I'm tired. It's my nap time."

"Hii! Y-yes!" I saluted for good measures and ran the hell out of there. "I'm leaving now!"

I ran myself tired all the way to school and to class. I got inside the classroom just in time.

After school:

I sighed. Today just wasn't my day. I looked down at my feet as I walked. I then bumped into someone. I staggered back a little, and looked back up at the person. "Woah! Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going!"

The person I bumped into was a girl with blue-gray colored hair and bright sunset colored eyes. She looked a little bit irritated. I heard her mumble a bit, "Yeah, that's the reason why we bumped into each other..." I guess she realized what she said because she suddenly bowed. "Oh gawd! I'm sorry! I didn't really mean to say that! I'm just having a hard time right now. This is my first time here and I don't know where I am!"

My eyes widened. "You're foreign? You don't look or sound foreign! Not at all!"

She smiled at me. "Haha. Yeah, I get that a lot. I just learn how to speak different languages without an accent. But really! I'm sorry for saying that."

I smiled back at her reassuringly. "Naw! It's alright. Being in a foreign place for the first time can be frustrating." I sort of sweatdropped. 'Like going to the future.'

"You're a nice person, you know! I haven't met anyone as nice as you in a long time! I'm Tsubasa. And you are?" She held out her hand. I shook it and introduced myself.

"I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi. You can call me Tsuna." She started to laugh as our hands parted. I looked at her confused.

"Haha! Sorry, it's just that your name sounds like 'tuna'. I hope you aren't offended." She said to me as her laughter died down.

I shook my head. "It's okay. I get that a lot. By the way, your name-"

She cut me off with her chuckle. "-'is Japanese', you were about to say? Yeah, I know. I'm half Japanese. You must think that's crazy; a Japanese person saying it's their first time here. Haha."

Again, I shook my head. "No, actually I have a friend who's half Japanese and it was his first time coming here too. This is sort of like déjà vu!"

We both laughed. She then looked at the sky and I did too. The clouds started to get that pink color, it was getting late. She started to speak again. "Wow! I didn't think we were talking that long at all! I guess we should say good-bye here."

We looked back at each other and smiled. I notice that she has some bags with her. I'm guessing she was looking for a place to stay for the night. I had then gotten an idea. "Hey! Are you looking for a place to stay tonight? You could come with me to my house and stay for the night. My mom wouldn't mind having one more person sleep over."

Her eyes widened. "Really?! Are you sure?" I nodded my head. "Well, okay! Thanks Tsuna!"

She followed me to my house. When we got there, I could smell my mom was already cooking dinner. I opened the door and called out. "Hey, mom! Can you set another place for one more person? I have a friend who's going to stay over, is that okay?"

She called back. "Sure, honey! The more the merrier!"

I bet Tsubasa-san was kind of nervous from the hospitality because I heard her mumble "Excuse me for intruding." I held a smile on my face. It felt good to be home. It felt... Sort of nostalgic. I saw I-pin running after Lambo, but Fuuta wasn't down here. He must be in his room writing in that ranking book of his again. Bianchi must be with Reborn again as well. I lead Tsubasa-san to my room and started to move things around, getting out a futon for her to sleep on. I asked her if she minded sleeping here and thankfully she shook her head, setting her bags down on the futon. We went downstairs as soon as my mom called us, which wasn't long. We all had a great time during dinner; the food was great, the atmosphere was bright, and I got a new friend. Maybe today wasn't so bad after all. After dinner we got ready for bed and went to sleep.

Mars: So? How was it? Please review if you get the chance!

Tsubasa: You know you want to~

Mars: Stop that!

Tsubasa: Bye!
