Our small plane landed upon the small landing where an infant wearing a fedora waited. To my left, Dino grunted from exhaustion.

"Why didn't you tell me he was coming?" I asked the blonde.
"I didn't know either." Dino sighed. I groaned in fear. Every time reborn came to see how my training came along... I always ended up with a few lumps on my head. Nonetheless, I still respected him and admired him greatly.

Dino and I climbed out of the plane and we greeted Reborn. I was expecting a kick to the face from the infant, but instead, he jumped and landed on my head.

"HAVE YOU GOTTEN SOFT?!" I shouted to Reborn. All he replied with was "Idiot," before landing a sharp kick to my head. "I guess not," I laughed, rubbing the spot after he jumped off.

"So, where're we going?" I asked. Reborn led Dino and I to the prepared car with our luggage placed in already.
"You'll be staying at your stupid, no-good, brother's house."
"Oy, oy," I protested agaisnt the insuts. "You know, I was expecting a really buff delinquent, now that he's a mafia boss." I added.

"To be," reborn added to my comment.

"Right.." I sighed, leaning against the car window, closing my eyes.
"Who said you could sleep?" Reborn hit me with something. I rubbed my cheek in pain. "Owwww..." I groaned.
"You're not much better than your brother, huh? You both moan and groan and complain and whine."
"Well, thanks."

Hours later, at home, around 10 AM.. (Still in 1st POV)

"Here's your new home, Tsukiko." Reborn pointed at the house. I looked up at it and smiled.
"I can't wait~" I grabbed a few bags and rang the doorbell. A familiar and kind faced woman opened the door, whose face brightened more after seeing who I was.
"Tsukiko!" She exclaimed.
"Mom!" I shouted and hugged her tightly.
"You've grown up so much," She let go of me and looked me up and down.

"Tsukiko, help me with your stuff!" Dino shouted behind me. I turned around and took a suitcase with some other bags and moved past my mother, leaving them in an open space.

After a few minutes of lugging in all my stuff, everything was inside, and inside my new room. The room was simple with white walls, a clean bed and desk with a lamp and chair. Next to the desk was a large glass door that led to a small balcony. On the right side of the room, across the bed was a door that opened up to be my closet.

I set my stuff down and laid on my bed. I grasped my pocket watch within my pants and rolled over to look at the ceiling. I inhaled the faint scent of cleaning supplies and freshly made food drifting from the lower floor. I flipped the pocket watch open, readjusting the time. I threw the watch in the air and watched as it became a cloud of particles of metal and glass, swarming like bees. My hand swept it to the left, moving the swarm around.

A knock at the door jolted me, compressing the particles back together into the pocket watch once again. The said pocket watch fell back onto my nose, landing hard.

"Ow" I grunted in pain as it smacked against my face. Rubbing my nose, I crawled off my bed and opened the door. My dear mother stood there, holding bed sheets and a curtain.
"Here you go," she smiled at me.
"Thanks," I took the cloth from her hands and set them up in their rightful places.
"If you'd like some food, come downstairs and eat with us," She offered.
"It's alright, I'm not hungry. Actually, I'm still feeling a little queasy from the plane ride," I laughed awkwardly.
"Oh, also, your school uniforms are in your closet. You'll be attending Tsuna's school. Namimori Middle," She pointed out.
"Okay," I nodded and looked at the closet.
"Well, whenever you're ready, I hope you can come down and spend some time with us. And don't mind the kids," She whispered.
"Kids?"I thought.
"They're sleeping right now, so just try to be quiet, please?" She asked.
"Okay," I whispered. With a last smile exchanged, my mother left me in my new room.

"God, I'm tired." I rubbed my face with the palms of my hand.

Several Hours later...

"I'm home, Mom!" A shout from downstairs echoed through the house. Following the shout, there was an obnoxious laugh of a child, screaming,
"Heehee, Dame-Tsuna's home!" The childish voice called.
"Yes, yes, Lambo," An exhausted voice sighed. A petite and quiet, yet loud voice shouted,
"Lambo, give back my candy!" before sounds of footsteps resonated throughout the home once again.

I opened my door and saw a small boy with brown spiky hair and large brown eyes look at me.
"Ah," I started, but was cut off quickly by an ear-piercing screech.
"Who are you?!" The boy said.
"Uh… I'm your sister," I said awkwardly.
"What?" He seemed to calm down, yet he was more shocked than calm.
"Yeah. You don't remember me?" I asked.
"I-I do! It's just I thought I remembered you to look different," He reasoned.
"More like you?"
"Y-yeah.. A little," he said quietly while looking down sheepishly.
"So cute.." I squealed a little internally.
"Well, I look like this and I've always looked like this." I smiled at him and extended my hand. He looked at it, confused, then looked back up at me.

"I'll do a proper introduction. I'm your twin sister, Tsukiko. I hope we get along well… boss." I smiled at him.
"Boss?!" He yelped a little and shoved me into the room and closed the door behind him.
"Wait, why did you go to Italy again?" He asked quietly.
"To train to be a guardian. For you."
"F-for what? A-a bodyguard?" He tried to ask innocently.
"No, you dimwit. I know about the Vongola and you being the 10th. I'm the 8th guardian." I crossed my arms in annoyance.
"8th? How is there an 8th one?" He asked.
"Didn't Reborn tell you anything?" I asked.
"No.. He just said you were coming back from Italy," He sighed.
"Well, he never tells anyone stuff, huh?" We both said in unison.
We looked at each other and laughed a little before a high-pitched voice sounded from outside the door.
"You called?" The voice said, before the door was kicked open.

"N-nothing, Reborn!" I jumped.
"Know your place," He jumped in front of me and my knees hit the floor in a split second with my arms and forehead a second after, lowering my head to him.
"Good," The infant nodded in acknowledgement and looked at Tsuna.

"Why don't you show him your power?" Reborn jumped onto the bed and turned to face us. I nodded and stood up to face Tsuna. Taking out the pocket watch from before, I did the same. I threw the metal in the air and it exploded into the same cloud of metal and glass as before. I flicked my hand around along with the cloud and circled it around the shocked mafioso.

"Is this metal?" He held out a finger and a small cluster moved towards it. The cluster compressed together to become a small bird. Moving the bird with lifelike movements, I controlled the bird to make it fly around the room and sit upon Tsuna's hair. It nestled in and gave a metallic chirp. It flew back towards the larger cloud of fragments and exploded once more into the swarm.

Tsuna looked at the cloud with awe as it floated towards me, onto my hand and solidified it into a sharp, yet thin sword. I held it towards Tsuna and he looked at it, poking the edge and wincing.
"Ah, it's actually sharp!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah. With this ring and flame power, I can dismantle plastic, wood, glass, and metal. Though plastic and glass is tricky, and wood is impossible to put back without anyone noticing, since all the paint flakes off when I take it."
"Ooh." He touched the sword again and it exploded into shards one last time before I brought it back to the palm of my hand as a pocket watch once again.

"What if you can't get anything to make weapons out of during a fight?" He asked.
"That's why I have so many accessories on me." I pointed out all my bracelets and rings and necklaces.
"oh.. What if they all broke or fell off?"
"Well, them breaking wouldn't be a big deal, and falling off someone lost isn't good. If anything were to ever happen, I would have to fight with fists."
"Are you trained in hand-combat?"
"Of course. I've been in training for ten years."
"Oh. yeah."

"Well, I'm gonna go bathe now. So.. yeah," I went to my opened suitcase and unloaded some soap and grabbed a towel, along with some pajama clothing.
"Okay," Tsuna turned around and left the room with Reborn on his head.

Moving quickly to the bathroom, I locked the door behind me and sighed, looking back at the pocket watch.
"When's the next time I'll ever be able to get a glimpse of him again..?"
I set the watch down carefully on top of the table and turned the faucet in the tub on. Peeling off the clothes, I loaded the soap into the tub and watched as the water became soapy and warm. I scooped off the bubbles and placed the pile into the sink. I lowered my body into the warm water and sighed, staring into the ceiling.

The Next Morning

"TSUNA!" I shouted into his room, dressed and ready for breakfast.
"WHA-" Startled, Tsuna fell off his bed and landed on his face.
"Come on! We gotta leave soon!" I urged and he shrieked, looking at his clock. He rushed towards his closet while shedding his nightwear before I got to close the door.
"Goodness. So this is how you really are." I mentally crossed out the image of a buff and diligent man and circled a wimpy little teenager. I nodded in acknowledgement before descending the stairway.
"Thanks for the food!" I said before starting to eat my breakfast. By the time I was done, Tsuna came rushing down, grabbing a piece of bread and quickly went out the house.
"Wait, Tsuna!" I called after him, but he didn't hear.
"Sorry, Mom, I gotta follow him," I looked behind me and started out the door, slipping on my sneakers.

"Tsuna!" I shouted behind him as I was running close to him. He didn't hear me or just ignored me and kept running. I sighed and followed anyways.

"Ahh, we're late!" He sighed out, exhausted. I panted behind him and groaned, grabbing him.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE UP EARLIER?!" I shouted at him.
"I'M SORRY!" He exclaimed.

At the gate of the school, a black-haired boy guarded and looked at our direction.
"Herbivores. You're late. Get over here," He urged.
"Well, shit." I whispered under my breath.
We walked over and he examined Tsuna, then me. He narrowed his eyes at me.
"State your name and year." He ordered with a harsh tone.
"Tsukiko Sawada, 2nd year." I said.
"Tsukiko, your last name goes first," Tsuna whispered.
"Oh. eh.. Sawada-"
"I get it. You're the new one, right?" He said.
"Yeah," I barked at him and grabbed Tsuna's hand, guiding him into the school.

"Jeez, what's with that guy?" I huffed as we rushed through the nearly empty hallways.
"I-I don't know.." Tsuna looked away as a group of boys pointed at us and snickered. I looked in their direction and glared at them. They jumped in surprise and clicked their tongues, blushing and scurrying away. I looked back at Tsuna and frowned at him. He made a worried face and looked to our left.
"You have the same classes as me, right?" Tsuna asked.
"Yeah," I stopped.
"It's right here," Tsuna pointed.

Tsuna slid the door open and walked in sheepishly.
"Sawada! You're late, and.. Oh, you have your sister with you." The teacher looked at me.
"Sorry, he had to guide me to school today," I said, half-lying.
"Fine, I'll make today an exception, but just make sure you two get here in time."
We both nodded and Tsuna sat in his seat. I walked to the teacher to ask where my seat would be, but as soon as I approached him, he pointed to a seat in the second row near the door.
"Sit there," He pointed.
"Okay," I spun around and sat down quickly in my seat.

"Actually, Tsukiko, why don't you introduce yourself to us?" The teacher looked at me and asked me to stand.
"My name is Sawada Tsukiko. I hope to get along with you all." I looked around the classroom and sat back down. I sighed and sat back down.
"Okay, nice and short. Let's get our lesson started." He turned around to the black board.

I looked at him write when there was a small whisper to my left. I looked to the girl next to me. She had short orange hair with bright eyes.
"My name is Sasagawa Kyoko. You can call me Kyoko, if you'd like. If you ever need anything, you can ask me, okay?" She smiled politely.
"Thanks. You can call me whatever you'd like to, as well," I said back to her with a small smile.

A few minutes later, I started zoning out on the lesson and focused on the school's being. The students so far were okay, they seemed quiet and normal in class. Except for one guy in the back with silver hair. He looked like a delinquent. next to him was a guy with black hair and a goofy grin on his face.

"still... What was with that guy at the gate? He seemed vaguely familiar.." I thought.

Lunch Time

"So how was your first day here?"

I looked up from my book and looked at the girl.
"Uh. Fine, I guess. Thanks for asking," I said quickly and quietly before looking back down.
"You know," She sat down. "it's hard to believe that you're really the sister of that guy."
I looked back up. "Excuse me?"
"I mean, you're attractive and cute. You know? That guy, he's just a total mess, I mean look at him."
At Tsuna's desk, his case of pencils fell on the floor, releasing mounds of pencils and pens. A group of people in the corner snickered at him.
"What's wrong with him?" I narrowed my eyes at her.
She flinched, sensing that it was the wrong line to cross. "Nothing." She stuttered and quickly got up.

My hand shot up towards her arm.
"Ow!" She yelped, looking at her arm.
"If nothing's wrong with him, then don't bother gossiping about him to other people. Don't even make him waste his time on you, either," I said with a low voice.
"What the hell? Is your family full of freaks or what?" She jerked her arm back, but it was still caught in my grip.
"Listen, you little slut," I growled while pushing her down onto my desk. I stood up and wrapped her arm around her back. She grunted in pain and grit her teeth.
"You better not be wasting my time. Right now, why won't you make a pinky promise or whatever with me and say that you won't step within the same area as me or my brother again. And since you're not a big fan of him, it's not a big deal is it?"
"Get off of me!" She screamed. I let go and she slipped off the desk. I feigned a small laugh.
"Sorry, are you okay? I didn't mean to jerk you back so hard."
Other students whispered.
"Man what's wrong with her? Yelling at the new girl like that.." one of the girls whispered somewhere around us.
"Are you okay?" I asked with an 'innocent' tone. I masked myself with a worried face.
"Don't touch me!" She shouted and pushed me away. I winced in an imaginary pain and rubbed my back.
Tsuna looked at me with worry. Other students helped me up and I smiled at them, telling them it was okay. They let me be and the smile quickly became a dangerous scowl.

I slowly walked over to the girl's desk.
Mizuki Nanase

I grinned and took a pen, writing a note in her notebook with the sloppiest handwriting I could manage. Swiftly, I hid the book back into her bag.

"Don't think targeting my brother like that will be easy..." I said quietly.

"Tsukiko?" A voice called out to me. I spun around quickly, looking at my brother.

"Yeah?" I asked, brushing my hair back.

"Are you okay? I mean, she did shove you a little." he said. he looked as if he were about to say something else, but changed his mind.

"It's alright. It was an act. I trained for 10 years, Tsuna! A shove like that won't hurt me. I was making sure she wouldn't bother you for a while. " I said quietly.

"what!?" Tsuna exclaimed.

"For now, I'll be acting quiet and tranquil." I said, sitting down to eat a sandwich.

"Why not be yourself?" He asked.

I stopped chewing. "Tsuna... 10 years of training to fight will make you accustomed to violence. Every problem is solved by violence for me." I turned to him. "Do you get it?" I frowned at him.

"Yeah.."

"well, is there a roof that I can use?" I asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yeah just go left, then right, then go straight until you get to a metal door and staircase."
"'Kay, thanks!" I waved and left the room quickly.

On the rooftop, a soft light lit the ground. I sighed and leaned against the wall. Above me, a small bird chirped and circled. I sat down and tried to stomach the rest of my food. I took out my pocket watch, unsuccessful and stared.
"When will I be able to find you again.." I said out loud.
I shut it again and placed it on my lap.
"I'll find you one day.. Hibari Kyoya." I looked up at the sky and closed my eyes, resting my head back on the wall behind me, drifting into a deep slumber.
