Hi. To those who read Unexpected Possibilities, I tried to remake it with a new twist and all. So I hope you'll like this remake.

Kozato Enma tripped and fell face-first after his foot got caught on a dent of the pavement. He winced in pain as he felt his face burn and his nose stinging. Enma had a talent for being a klutz; he might as well get an award for it. He could count all the scratches and bruises on his body all day long and he wouldn't even finish because he kept getting new ones. He didn't want to stand up and move on. Enma just wanted to lay there and skip school. But a hand reached out in front of him, and he looked up to see who it was.
"Stai bene?" A soft, female voice asked. Enma jerked his head, surprised to hear someone speaking Italian. The girl had a lovely face, with alloy orange eyes and a gentle expression. Her long, blonde wavy hair fell lusciously. She gasped, realizing she was speaking Italian. "I mean, are you okay?"
Enma blinked, and nodded slightly. He reached out and held her hand, standing up slowly. His nose stung in pain once more, so he unconsciously held his nose. He felt the blood drip on his fingers and he swore silently, embarrassed. The girl must have noticed, since she reached inside her pocket and took out a handkerchief.
"Here, you need this." She offered, smiling. Enma hesitated but relented as he slowly accepted the handkerchief.
"Thank you." He thanked softly. Too soft to be heard in normal circumstances but the girl heard so she chuckled and gave him a warm smile.
"I'll be going ahead so please take care." The girl waved goodbye and headed away from Enma. He stared at her back, wondering who that girl was, and if he could see her again.

"The Ninth has a daughter?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked as he stared at the photo Reborn gave him. In the photo was a girl with long, wavy blonde hair who was smiling brightly at the camera. Her alloy orange eyes were gentle, just like her father.
"Yeah," Reborn answered. It was Monday and both of them were walking to Namimori Middle. It has been months since the Arcobaleno got rid of their curse, but Reborn kept wearing a false yellow pacifier since it made him feel at ease. A habit he isn't proud of. "The youngest. She's the same age as you."
"Same age, huh?" Tsuna muttered. "If she's the Ninth's daughter, doesn't that make her the half-sister of Xanxus?"
Reborn smirked. "Yeah, and he's quite fond of her. Rumor says he has a sister complex."
I can't imagine Xanxus overprotective, Tsuna thought. It's like Onii-san and Kyoko-chan. Reborn continued, "The Ninth informed me that she was heading to Japan but he didn't specify when. But she's not completely alone."
"Oh? Who else is coming?" Tsuna asked, curious. But Reborn smirked in mischief and Tsuna knows it's not something to be happy about.
"You'll see."
"Ah, Tsuna-kun, Reborn-san. Good morning." Enma greeted, coming from behind them. Tsuna smiled at his buddy but then changed when he saw Enma holding a handkerchief on his nose.
"W-What happened, Enma?" He asked, worried. Enma blinked, and looked down on the handkerchief.
"Oh, I tripped and fell on my face." Enma answered naturally, smiling. Somehow I'm not so surprised, Tsuna thought. They went on to Namimori Middle with Enma still wondering if he could see that girl again.

"So," Their homeroom teacher cleared his throat to settle everyone down. But it was lost in everyone's chatters and laughter. So, he cleared his throat louder and repeated loudly, "So!"
The whole class's noise died down eventually so he was able to continue. "We will have two transferees in this class. They are both transferees from another country so I hope all of you will treat them well."
The class bursted out in muffled voices, whispering to each other about the news. Some glanced at Gokudera (since he came from Italy, too), only to receive a piercing glare from the silver-haired teen. Tsuna was highly curious and had his doubts. It seems that his intuition was saying it was the Ninth's daughter. Enma perked up in attention when the teacher said another country. He was unconciously hoping it would be her.
"Everyone, be silent!" The teacher ordered and the class obeyed. He motioned at the open door. "Please come in."
"Shishishi," The tall, blonde teen chuckled as he entered Class 2-A. Hands in his pockets, he grinned widely as he stood beside their teacher. Tsuna paled in shock as he saw the new transferee. Not only him, but so did Gokudera, Yamamoto, and even Enma was shocked. "Belphegor. A prince. Nice to meet you." Bel grinned and waved.
"He's blonde!"
"Did he say 'prince'?"
"But he looks a bit scary."
He's a lot scarier if he's flinging knives at you, Tsuna thought. What was Bel doing in his class? Gokudera stood up, ready to use his Vongola Gear.
"Knife bastard! What are you doing here?" Gokudera demanded, clutching his Belt. G-Gokudera-kun! Tsuna called mentally.
"Shishishi," Bel chuckled again, who was pulling something out of his pocket. Could it be knives? "To study, of course."
"Don't joke with me!" Gokudera bellowed.
"Wanna go at it?" Bel threatened, grinning mischeviously.
"Bel, stop it." A soft female voice ordered with finality in her tone. Bel dropped his wicked smile and took out his hands from his pocket. The girl entered the room, sighing. "I should have entered first."
It was the girl Enma met earlier. The girl who gave him the handkerchief. Enma sat up straight, shocked and surprisingly happy to see her again. He clutched the handkerchief tighter but loosened right away. Why am I getting so worked up? Enma thought.
Everyone was whispering again. "Who's she?"
"A foreigner!"
"She's so beautiful."
"Look at her pretty hair."
The homeroom teacher cleared his throat once more and everyone was quiet, again. The girl stood beside Bel and smiled at everyone. "Hello. My name is Vongole Xianna. Pleasure to meet you all."
Tsuna gasped out loud, loud enough for everyone to hear. No wonder she looked familiar. He just saw her photo earlier! Not to mention she certainly resembled the Ninth in some ways now that Tsuna saw her in person.
"Tsuna?" Yamamoto said, looking at Tsuna confused.
"Tenth?" Gokudera called, worried at his boss's outburst.
"Tsuna-kun?" Both Kyoko and Enma said.
Tsuna flushed in embarrassment and waved in dismissal as he slid down on his seat, trying to hide his existance. Xia blinked and smiled wider realizing now that she saw the man she was looking for. She didn't say anything and went calmly to her seat. Bel did the same, too, after giving Gokudera a wicked grin. Xia didn't say anything. She waited until lunch came before things got complicated.
