Hi minna-san, this is going to be my first fanfiction =3 I've been around for a while, but I just got the courage to actually write something! Umm...I'm actually really nervous about this, so uhh please be easy on me and I would like it if you could tell me ways that I can improve my story/ies since english isn't my first language, so...yea
I'll try my best =)
[another thing, this is an into the world of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! For, duh, Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Just saying, and I know that that probably isn't the easiest way to start but, I have wanted to do one]
also, a lot of people might be mentioned just once, and they would have been based on real people that I know, just that their names would be changed to something more japanese-y
~o~o~o~o~o~
''Shirubiaa my head hurts~"I whined."Make school go away~"
Everyone -meaning my friends and I- was in the cafeteria, having lunch. Regular,boring day for little 14-year-old me. 'How sad' I thought 'The world is supposed to end this year and I haven't even graduated'
After lunch I have French, which I personally find the most fun class this semester, probably because of all the guys, who, as disrespectful as they are, are quite funny to listen to. I mean, one sings incredibly off-tune, half the time without even the right words,and there's another one, who, as an example, answered " I wanna be a couch potato" when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up on career-day. The funniest thing is that another guy who just laughs at them is the one who gets into the most trouble.
Anyway, heading off, I said a quick 'bye bii' to my friends and left the cafeteria around 11:30, since my class starts at 11:35. What saddened me, though, was that nothing especially happened. Pouting, I went to my next class.
English.
Oh my lovely English why do you come right after French and why are you my hardest subject?
I sat at my little group, which consisted of 3 other guys, and one of my best-friends-forever, bffs, yeah, one of those. We sat at a table by the corner and, no, they weren't desks put together in a group; it was one table, and there usually was Ryuu, Burei, Kaimei, Shirubia, and me.
When I got to class, Kaimei was already there, as usual, as well as some other kids. Shirubia usually came late, and Burei and Ryuu always came a second before the bell rang.
"Hand in your essays on the table in front of my desk please, thank you."Oh, right. The essay.
"The essay was due today?"I asked Kaimei, he was usually the one who stayed on top of things, and actually paid attention to the teacher. I was usually doodling and writing to Shirubia(yes I write, since we can't talk, I write on an angle and then she writes back, it works somewhat like passing notes, and a chat-page)
"Yeah it was due today. Weren't you listening yesterday?"
"Do you really need to ask?" I asked him.
"Well, I'm wondering if you have a twin sister who is incredibly smart to do your homework and other things, because once I got to know you, I found out that not only are you not quiet and studious, you are the complete opposite!"
"Yea, yea, then we became friends and you found out that I'm an evil little thing that never listens to anything the teacher says, but somehow manages to keep a nice 95" I said, obviously keeping my smirk on, which I had 90% of the time.
"Can you move over a bit"I look up, to find Shirubia Standing there. I had just noticed that I was somewhat leaning towards Kaimei, and therefore sitting where she usually sat.
I shifted over a bit, so that I was fully sitting on my own spot.
"Oh, by the way, the essay actually was due today" I told her.
"What? Seriously?" She said, then stood silent for a bit."I... my printer ran out of ink last night so I couldn't print it" She smiled as she said this. I only sigh.
I was used to her lying in order to escape the teacher's scoldings and things. One time she actually got out of having to pay around $80.00 for a library book overdue fee by lying. I would know, she told me about her victory afterwards.
Sighing slightly to myself, me and Shirubia went up to the teacher in order for me to tell her that I didn't have it done, and for Shirubia to say her excuse. What pisses me off the most about Shirubia is that she can actually get away with this. I'm a "horrible" liar, apparently, and it's not because I sweat, or freak out or anything. It's simply that I'm seriously very honest so whenever I lie, people think I'm telling the truth, and when I tell the truth, people think I'm lying; and when I tell the truth and – it's actually quite fun to do this- I act as if I was lying, people think you're lying. I don't really know if all that made sense, but I guess I could sum it up by : I hardly ever lie, so people trust me a lot. Therefore, no one ever thinks I'm lying.
I sat down, the only thing I like about English class is that it's mostly kind of like a free period, because most of the time we're not being taught, we're doing work out of the textbook, or worksheet. Which leads to my utmost sense of false security that I can finish everything for homework, and I can therefore just be lazy in class.
So it starts.
Me and my 'buddies' I guess, (I think of them as friends) call ourselves the 'anime crew'. More like, Burei does. Ironically enough, he's the only one of us that doesn't really watch anime.
"You HAVE to watch D. Gray Man, seriously, then we can talk about it all the time!" Shirubia exclaimed happily.
"I already told you, D. Gray Man doesn't really catch my interest(1)" I said, "I like Katekyo Hitman Reborn better. GOOO HIBARIIII"
"Kasumi and Shirubia, get back to work please."
"Shucks" I said, feeling the heat spread slightly over my cheeks, like butter spread. I'm kind of slow and somewhat impulsive, so I don't think about what I'm going to do, or realize what happens after I do it. Which means I had ended up Shouting out "GOOO HIBARIIII" out loud for the class to hear.
Uneventful, and happily the only homework I had was to print out my essay. Other than that, I really had nothing else to do.
"Yes! I can read Reborn manga! Awesomeness!" I exclaimed happily as I was walking down the hallway. Most other people don't really care about what you exclaim, since it's so loud you can hardly hear yourself think, therefore, it was fine for me to talk to myself like I normally do when there is no one talking to me.
=3=3=3=3
I got home, and by seeing that my sister's jacket was there relieved me, like everyday, that she had managed to get home safely. Even if she's 3 years older than me, I swear that someone could jump up in front of her with a gun and she wouldn't notice.
"I'm home!" I yelled into the house. I have a naturally loud voice, which makes it almost impossible for me to whisper. I go upstairs, but I find that my mom is on the phone with my aunt. Not something uncommon, but I don't think my mom appreciated that I yelled when she was on the phone.
I went to my room and started to, like my routine, get changed into my pj's. After I change, I usually go to the bathroom, and when I go back downstairs, my food is on the table. However, something...different happened. It interrupted my routine. It also kinda made me remember the saying "be careful what you wish for"
When I stepped into my room I saw an empty void-like thing that reminded me of how a galaxy looks from afar.
"Oh, boy"
Naturally, I fall. Nope, apparently you don't float nicely into this void-like thing. You just fall.
"What the BEEPING BEEP?" it was encrusted into my mind not to swear, parents told me not to. Therefore, I had to be satisfied with beeping every time I wanted to swear. When no one was around though, I swore, either really loudly, or under my breath.
I fell with a thud. It hurt. A lot. Even though, it actually didn't hurt as much as I expected it to. I mean, it hurt about as much as if I had fallen from a meter high.
'How queer' I thought. I giggled in my mind since I absolutely love the word 'queer'.
I look down at myself,'Yyyuup, still in my uniform' then I looked further down, only to see a brown, spiky head.
"I'm SO SORRY!" I apologized, to me in a normal voice, but then I realized I must have ended up yelling in the poor guy's ear. I got up, quickly, if I stayed on any longer the poor citizen that I fell on would end up asphyxiated. Not kidding, I'm not the lightest 14-year-old girl out there.
"Are you okay? Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry!" I cried.
"No, I'm okay" the stranger replied. I looked at him... okay, I might as well have been a scientist studying a new species of animal. My eyes probably resembled saucers, but I didn't care, I was busy studying him.
"Umm who-" he started.
"OH MY GOD IS YOUR NAME TSUNA?AS IN SAWADA TSUNAYOSHI? No but then that wouldn't make sense, I have wished for the same thing so many times, I highly doubt it would happen NOW of all times, I mean, universe, does this mean that everything else that I have wished for is late? OH NO MY SISTER IS GOING TO DIE!" I was ranting, I realized, but happily the Tsuna look-alike didn't seem to mind. He seemed to be worried about something else.
"HIEE! I'M GOING TO BE LATE!"
"Man you're good, you hit the perfect pitch with your 'hiee', and you're even late!" I exclaimed happily "what are you late for?"
"SCHOOL! HIBARI-SAN IS GOING TO KILL ME!"with that, he ran off.
"Hn, annoying child, took things too far, I mean, a bit is okay, but if you say to much then it gets old" I said to no one in particular. I don't even know how old he is, but I have this thing of calling anyone an"annoying child".
"Who are you?"
"Now that I think about it, where in the heavens am I? I don't recognize this place AT ALL"
"Oi, who are you."
"Rats, rats, rats, this could be avoided if I had my own cellphone! GEEZUS, THIS IS WHY I TELL MY PARENT THAT I NEED A BEEPING PHONE!"once again, I was ranting and talking to the air.
I heard a gun click. Oh, how lovely, now I'm going to be kidnapped and possibly killed. Again, a cellphone would be helpful and-
"Would you state your name and tell me why you have been ignoring me?" I heard a somewhat squeaky voice. I look around, only to fin no one. Remembering seeing the Tsuna look-alike from before, 'ooh, maybe it's Re...nahh, that's not possible, you can dress up as Tsuna, but you can't shrink to Reborn's size. And babies don't talk that way, I look down.
"No. Beeping. Way." I was looking in amazement at the infant. Mouth open and everything.i crouch down so that his eyes are level with mine.i stil keep the amazed look on.
"Finally, I have your attention. Now tell me your name, and why you know Dame-Tsuna's name"
I still had my amazement look on. Even though now, my mouth was making sounds and moving."I'm Gonzales Kasumi.(last first) and if your actually Reborn, and that was actually Tsuna then... I know your names because YOU GUYS ARE SO AWESOME! " I basically squealed at the end. And I really wanted to know what it would feel like if I hugged Reborn, but I'm not one for hugging.
He just blinked"and by awesome you mean.."
"I mean as in how you defeated Mukuro and the Varia and Byakuran and how now all of 'em are your friends now! Well, more Tsuna's than yours." I was studying Reborn like how I was studying Tsuna before.
He aimed his gun at me again, and to be honest I didn't even notice when he had stopped aiming it at me before."Why do you know all that?"
"Only 'cause I might as well be obsessed with Katekyo Hitman Reborn! and I have re-read it and re-watched it multiple times"By now I probably had a really wide grin on my face.
"We shouldn't talk in the middle of the street" He said"Let's go somewhere else"
"Ooh, do I get to go to Tsuna's house?" My smile had gotten wider, if that was possible.
He remained silent, to my sadness. I can only keep a conversation going if the other person is participating somewhat,I'm not like Pinkie Pie (2) who can keep talking and talking even if the person (or pony, in her case) isn't even listening.
Therefore, awkwardness ensued. I hate it when it's all quiet, it creeps me out. So I tried to play with my hands, making shapes with them, and just following Reborn.
"We're here." I stared at the house. It looked really big up close.
I just walked ahead of him, since he stopped, and went up to the gate"awesome.." I said under my breath."It's just a house baKasumi" Reborn said.
"Ooh, I just realized that you can do that with my name! That's so cool! Even though it's...bad but still!"His only reply was a sigh. He opened the gates and we went up to the door. He walked straight in"Mama, can we have an expresso and some tea for upstairs please." Reborn asked. I only heard an "Okay!" from where the kitchen was.
"excuse the intrusion" I said, silently though, so there was really no point in saying it in the first place. I don't even know why I said that, normally I'm not so polite. I just headed upstairs, following Reborn.
I recognized the room almost immediately. Who wouldn't, if it's shown so many times in the anime/manga?
I went to the bed and sat down. Yeah, I know, I shouldn't just do that. But that's me, I honestly don't really care.
"So what did you mean by re-reading and re-watching Katekyo Hitman Reborn! multiple times?"He resumed our talk from earlier.
"Can I ask a question first?"i asked.
"No"
"But if I don't, then I won't be sure of what I am about to say"
"Fine then."
"Okay, what country is this?"I asked.
"Japan"
I only zoned out for a bit. "Oh" was all I could get out.
"So now, answer my question."He said again.
"Okay, you probably won't believe so here goes. I'm also only saying this once, and only because I probably won't remember what I just said after I said it. I – most likely – come from another world, I guess you could call it... no never mind it isn't a parallel world. Anyway, in it, you and Tsuna and all the others are fictional characters who belong to a manga slash anime called Katekyo Hitman Reborn!"I said. Almost in one breath, but I inhale and exhale even if I'm talking, so I basically never run out of breath.
He was staring at me funny. I can't exactly describe it in any other way. He was just looking at me as if I was from another world. Which technically, I was.I only stared back. More like, I looked around the room to see what interesting things I could find.
"Prove it" I heard.
"Prove what?"
"That you're from another world"
"How"
"Say some information that should be top-secret."
"Ok. Ummm..." I pondered a bit. What could I say that would definitely convince him? Then a little flashlight lit up in my brain."Ooh, I know! Let's say the storyline of Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" I exclaimed happily. "Tsuna is known as Dame-Tsuna, mainly because he sucks at everything that other kids at school can tell. So, things like academics, and sports. Then you came and shot him with a soecial bulet which was called the Dying Will bullet, which made Tsuna end up in only boxers, and he would be ale to do a bunch of stuff!" I said, expecting a reaction. He didn't seem to react. So then I just said something."Tsuna is the 10th generation mafia boss of the Vongola. He has 6 guardians:Gokudera Hayato, Yamamoto Takes-"I was, shall I say, very rudely interrupted.
"HIEE! What are you doing in my room? Who are You?"Yay he's back! I though.
"Who are you? Why are you in the Tenth's room?"Oh god no.
"Maa maa, calm down Gokudera.. but I also have to ask, who are you?"
I stare for a bit, in order to take in the up close appearances of Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto.
Everyone was staring at me. And me, being awkward penguin, just stood there with a blank look on my face. My excitement was completely dissolved, and was therefore replaced with the "me" I use for strangers, and people that I don't really know. I stood up,
"My name is Gonzales Kasumi" I said, but instead of my excited self's excited happy tone, a monotone, uninterested one came out instead."I am here talking with Reborn since I met him after I got off of you." I said it as if it was the most normal thing in the world. I also looked to the side for added "coolness" effect. It was my own facade, the quiet, smart girl in the corner that I had set up ever so carefully over the years.
"Where are you from?" This time I was approached with caution, by Tsuna, obviously.
"I am from another world"
"Che, as if anyone would believe that!"
See what I meant before? When I tell the truth, no one believes me! Even though, I guess in this case, it's understandable.
"I am not joking, or lying for that matter. Why would I? What would I gain from it?" I spoke in a polished tone, one I used, usually, when making fun of someone.
"You can test her knowledge, if you want proof. Ask her anything." Reborn's voice piped up from where he was sitting.
"Okay then" Gokudera said "Wh-"
"Something related to what has happened after you met Tsuna, please. Nothing too old or specific" I interrupted.
"Che."I knew it. He was so about to ask me a really hard math question."Okay then. What happened in the future?" He asked.
Does he have any idea how many things happened in the future? Okay, since they only know the stuff that they were told about, or were there for, then I can cut down a bunch of stuff that happened.
"Tsuna died." I thought that was the answer he was looking for.
Gokudera just looked at me as if I had 2 heads or something. 'Dude, I answered your beeping question! Tell me if that's the answer you were looking for!' I basically screamed in my head.
He stare at me in disbelief, as if he just received my answer."H-how d-did you know about what happened to the Tenth?" he asked, and yes, somewhat shakily.
"Just think of me as a high overseer of everything that has happened after Reborn and Tsuna met." I said.
I just noticed that Yamamoto was actually unusually quiet. Normally, isn't he really happy? I looked at him with a questioning look. Not like I meant to, I only realized how close I was in order to be able to distinguish his features. Yes, I'm near-sighted. And normally I wear glasses, but I think they fell off somewhere when I fell.
"Umm... why are you so close to me?"
I finally noticed exactly how much distance between us there was, which honestly, wasn't a lot. About 2.5 inches, I would say. I was flustered for about 5 seconds. Then I noticed just how red he was. He might as well have been a tomato. I honestly didn't think I would have that effect on him. 'Hm, must not get close to girls too much then.' I thought. I don't think of myself as super mega pretty or anything. Sure, I think I'm prettier than most other girl in my grade, but I wouldn't say that when you see me you fall head over heels in love. I'm somewhat average looking. Buut... Lemme point out my advantages I have over other girls:
First, I actually have curves. As in, I'm not straight around the stomach area, that part caves in somewhat, while the girls in my grade are completely straight there. Second, I'm not fat. Plump, but not fat. I don't have a huge stomach or arms etc. Third, I guess this somewhat counts. I read somewhere that you're considered prettier if you have a younger looking face, as in, baby-face, not young woman in her 20s face. So that could be a third point. I have a baby face.
Anyway, I just backed away from Yamamoto slowly and somewhat fell on Tsuna's bed. It was actually reeaally comfy.
"U-umm, Gon-gonselas..?"
"Gonzales" I mumbled from the bed. I was just laying there, no suggestive poses, okay?
"Gonsilas?"
I got up"Lemme make the world an easier place for you, okay? It makes me cringe every time you say it wrong. Just call me Kasumi, You should find that easier to say." I grumbled. I absolutely hated it when people said my last name wrong. It's just Spanish, for crying out loud! It's not in Greek or Latin!
"O-okay, umm... Kasumi-san?"
"Yes?" I said in a very sarcastic voice.
"Why are you lying down on my bed?"
"'Cause it's comfy"
"O-oh, I see."
"When are you going back to your world?" I heard a child-like voice. Reborn.
I sat up on the bed."T-to be honest, I actually forgot for a moment that this wasn't my world" I said sheepishly"Eh..hehe"
" I thought so." He said. Gee, thanks, I love how smart you think I am. Which is actually pretty accurate. "Then, for now, enroll in Nami-middle"
Hah?
"What? School? Me? Here? " I spoke as if I had just learned a language. But I had a point. One of the things I was looking forward to the most was not having to go to school.
"Yes. You have to enroll in a school. And you also need to find a place to live."He stated.
Immediately," Can I stay here?" I was hiding my excitement. I really really really wanted to know what it felt like to live in the same house as Tsuna. I looked from Reborn to Tsuna expectantly.
"Uhh.."Tsuna stuttered" I-I g-guess... if you have nowhere else to go" he was looking at the floor as he said this. Do they all have a fever or something? His face was a slight bit redder than his normal skin tone. Like I said before, I think I'm pretty, but not THAT pretty so it HAS to be something else.
Reborn just smirked.
"Ooh ooh" I suddenly said "Can I have another last name other than Gonzales? It would feel really cool if I had a different name! And it also would prevent me from getting too mad at people who got my last name wrong. Pleeeaseee?" I asked. I used my begging skills. Since I'm the youngest in my family, I'm used to having to pull the puppy-eyes as a form of persuasion. I don't pout though, I honestly don't think pouting is cute.
"Sure. We also don't want other people to find out that you know a lot about this world. Or more specifically, the Vongola."Reborn said
"Ya-hay!" I yelled happily" So what should my last name be?" I asked all of them" I think it should start with m."
" A common one would be better, so that you don't stand out too much" Gokudera said. He seems to not be so fishy about me anymore. Maybe because Reborn approves of the fact I come from another world?
" Then how about Midori?" Tsuna suggested
"Nah, 'cause then it rhymes with Kasumi. I don't want people laughing at it simply because it rhymes." I said
"Haha I was just about to suggest Masumi, but I guess not, since it really rhymes with Kasumi."
Yamamoto said, smile and all.
"Then how about Makuwa?" Reborn said
"Hmm... I like it!" I said. I also smiled, since I love having and making aliases. Even though half the time they're not a. Japanese or b. used. Since I was used to aliases, or making them, I remembered that I should have some sort of connection to them.
"What's my story? As in, what do I tell people if they ask me where I'm from and all that stuff?"
I asked.
"You could say you're Dame-Tsuna's cousin, who moved here from Spain. You came here because you didn't want to live with your parents anymore."Reborn told me. More like us.
"It works" I said.
"But if you're supposedly from Spain then aren't you supposed to be able to speak Spanish? What if someone asks you to say something in Spanish?"Tsuna wondered aloud.
"Are you joking?" I said " I though that from my last name you would be able to figure out that I'm Spanish"
"Really? Haha that's cool" figures Yamamoto would say that.
"sur- now that I think about it, what language are we speaking?" I asked
"Are you joking?" Gokudera said "Obviously in Japanese, this is Japan"
"...riight. Thing is, I normally speak English" I was confused. But at this point I really don't care anymore."Gahh all this thinking makes me tired. Lemme just settle my info for when I go to school: my name is Makuwa Kasumi, I moved here from Spain since I ran away from my parents and I came to Tsuna's house because he's my bestest, most favouritest cousin in the woorld~" I finished with my voice all funny. That was something I enjoyed. Changing voices. One of the reasons I was so good at singing. I just imitated the singers' voices and then voila, awesome singing.
I looked at everyone for a bit. Then settled on the bed again."'K night" then I just flopped down onto the bed with my face facing down. And honestly I actually fell asleep. That's another thing, if I think to hard my head starts to hurt, and I get really sleepy. The only thing I remember before I got to Dreamland was:
"Where am I supposed to sleep now?"
~o~o~o~o~o~
I think I'll cut it off there, since I don't want to make this too long. I mean, it's only the first chapter. I'm actually making this up as I go along, so I don't really know what to do next. Or a plot. Should I have a pairing? If so, then who with? I like Hibari, but I think that that would be hard. Also, I don't know if all the chapters are going to be first POV coz I find it somewhat hard, so maybe I'll alternate between POV's (first, third) also, I don't think all the chapters will be this long, mainly because I got this one done by procrastinating my studying for exams, which start tomorrow...yeahh.. you catch my drift. Since I'm also a new writer here, I'll probably take a while to update at first, until I have a steady plot going. Also if I feel that no one is reading this, I'll just discontinue it altogether. I'm not to sure about this too, since I think I put in too many unnecessary detail at the beginning of the story. But I wanted to settle some characters, (who might be appearing later, I dont know)and daily life of Kasumi. I'll get to how she looks after, probably in the next chapter. I only have fragments of things I want to include in this story, so no proper story line in my head as of now. OH RIGHT... disclaimer
DISCLAIMER: Katekyo Hitman Reborn doesn't belong to mee~ o and now that I think about it I put a (1) like somewhere...ah. Ahem
I don't have anything against D. Gray Man( which I also don't own, by the way) I just can't seem to get past the first five episodes because, no offense to D. Gray Man fans, I find it boring.
I'm referring to Pinky Pie from My Little Pony (I don't own that either) who, if you watch My Little Pony, talks a lot. And by a lot I mean a LOT.
Anyway, thank you to people who will read this all the way to the end. And future thanks to those who will be willing to tell me how I can improve this not-so-masterpiece into a veru good piece of writing =)
Bye bii (like how Bel says it)
And one more thing actually.. to those who don't read the manga don't read this.. isn't Adult Reborn sooooo AWEESSOOOME? =D
just had to point that out. Reviews will make me a very happy first timer. =3
