*NOTE*

~~This is a story with my fan made character Tamiko Tsukamoto. She replaces Tsuna (sorry Tuna) so she is the Vongola Decimo and all that. Please enjoy!~~


At the airport, Lussuria is in the arrivals room looking for his visitor. Even though it was the Vongola's private airport it was very busy. Many men in black suits and sunglasses were dotted around the place welcoming people or just waiting. It was nearly Christmas and the Ninth had planned a nice big Christmas party at the Vongola Headquarters for all the allies and friends out there. Of course the Varia were invited as well but they had their own plans this year. They were going to have a special Christmas with a special visitor. From Japan.

"Looks like we aren't going to have any snow this year." Lussuria pursed his lips in disappointment.

Yes, Italy during the winter season usually didn't get any snow. In the north they had already welcomed a meter of snow but further south it was warm as always. Lussuria tip-toed from left to right with one hand roofing his sunglasses as if he was looking for someone. It was difficult to spot someone small in a crowd of people but the person he searched for would be easy to spot. And sure enough he saw his visitor.

"Ah, Tami-chan. Over here!" Lussuria waves his arms in the air.

A small girl scanned the room for the voice calling her name. She really did stand out in the crowd. It's not every day you see a girl with bright blond hair. When she saw the tall man jumping around in the back she grinned and shuffled through the crowd towards him.

"Lussuria! Hey!" The girl dropped her suitcase and jumped into his arms.

Of course, Lussuria being Lussuria, he swung her around in his arms. It looked like the reunion of two overseas lovers.

"Welcome to Italy, my dear." Lussuria wobbled a little from dizziness.

The girl smiled at him. Although, she wasn't really a girl but a young woman. Tamiko Tsukamoto. 19 years old. A well build body to die for. Long golden blond hair. Emerald green eyes. And the opposite of flat-chested. Defiantly a woman. It's been nearly 2 years since the Sky ring battle in which Xanxus was defeated by her. It was his greatest humiliation. Not only did he loose against a piece of useless trash, he also lost against a girl. Even so the hatred for her didn't last that long. Well, just for about a year. Lussuria took a liking to her immediately back then. He had sneaked to her place a couple of times and she had taught him how to cook some great Japanese meals. Mammon also grew to like her since she gave it her all to protect the Arcobaleno during the Representative War. The final battle was a shock to all. The Varia had to learn the hard way that Tamiko had suffered more than all of them but even so she continued to smile without a care. Maybe THAT was what captivated Xanxus. Tamiko wasn't a weak girl. She wasn't afraid to stand up and speak her mind. To fight for her friends. To give Xanxus a piece of her mind. Or to ignore him even if he was in the same room. And even so she was still very caring. She didn't mind if a friend would come to her unannounced. Xanxus had seeked refuge in her living room many times since the 'Stupid Shark' was the noisiest person out there. The Varia usually had found their Boss on Tamiko's couch, watching TV and playing with her cat; the cat that only seemed to like Xanxus and scratched everyone else who got to close.

Lussuria guided the girl to a black car that was parked outside. Tamiko paused for a moment. Her eyes widened at the scenery. Blue sky, no cloud in sight, flat plains with a random hill. A village in the distance. Lussuria giggled at the awe-struck woman.

"Do you want to go straight to the headquarters? Or do you want to look around first?"

He could see the excitement glitter in the woman's eyes. Boy, did she want to look around. This was the first time she had gone abroad in her life. Japan had a lot to offer but this was something new.

"Actually I want to go and shop for a meal I want to make tonight." Tamiko tapped her index finger against her lips.

She looks up to the man next to her and gave him a wink. Lussuria understood the message.

"Ah, well in that case hop in. I know a nice place for great ingredients."

"Great." Tamiko flung her arms towards the sun. "LET'S GO!"
