Life was as normal as it could get. Wake up, use the bathroom, go to school, go back home, eat dinner, use the bathroom again, sleep, and then repeat. Maybe take a trip to the convenience store to go buy a snack or some juice. Maybe go a stroll down to the park. Go visit a friend possibly. Yes, just the regular life of a middle school student... I used to live that life. Now here I am, about to go literally head on with the reaper. Well that doesn't really matter at the moment, after all, I'm about to die in just a few seconds. And to think I thought today was going to be just another day in the life of little me... Oh that's right, I forgot to introduce myself. I shouldn't lose my head even if it's about to be torn off my neck; forgive my rudeness.

My name is Reiko Asayuki. I am about to be a former Namimori Middle student. Looking at myself, I can say that I am the picture of amazing, standing at 5"2' with medium length black hair and brown eyes. How much more different can you get? I look like any other person in Namimori, with the exception of a few people. Anyways, let me tell you about how this day led to my very imminent death.

You know, the day started fairly much like yesterday and the days before it. I woke up a bit late and had to rush to school like always. I had to be extra careful though, as to not to run into that crazed committee head. I've had run-in's with that Hibari Kyoya, and let me tell you, he doesn't go easy on girls. I still remember those "pleasant" times… Oh the joy the memories bring me. But I digress.

Today seemed to be one of those uncommon lucky days, where Hibari was busy with some other schmuck. I'm sure he noticed me, but as soon as he did, I ran the life right out of me to the classroom. Also, I made it a few minutes before the bell rang. Catching my breath, I sat down. It seemed my friends were out for the count today, so I just waited for class to begin. While I was taking in the classroom scene, someone waved at me. It was the Sasagawa girl. Kyoko was her name. That girl was always so pretty and such an innocent one too. She was one hell of a "man-killer" without having much effort or even knowing it herself. Yea, you can say I'm a bit envious, but who wouldn't?

I hesitated but waved back to her anyways. She was too nice of a person to truly dislike. A few moments later the bell rang. The teacher strolled in and the daily rituals began as usual. We greeted, bowed, sat, and then daydreamed while the lecture went on. Or at least I did. Every now and then, people were called on to answer questions. That teacher was something else. He liked to pick on people who had no clue as to what was going on. Like always, that baseball ace, Takeshi Yamamoto, and the class slacker, No-Good Tsuna, would be called.

It would be like finding water on the sun if there were ever a day when those two weren't called. After making a fool of his students, the lecture continued its boring pace. As if it couldn't come any faster, lunch time began as the bells sounded their sweet chimes. Kyoko offered me to eat with her and another classmate, Kurokawa Hana, seeing as how I would be alone for the day. Bless that accursed heart of hers. I accepted figuring one day couldn't hurt and that I wouldn't want to be a loner for the day. I still had to get some lunch though, so I excused myself for a moment.

On my way to get lunch, I almost ran into some kid dressed up in a cow suit being followed by a little Chinese girl. I assumed they were heading towards No-Good Tsuna like always, so I thought nothing of it and went on to buy food. Luckily, I was able to grab something to eat over the mob of students also trying to get food and made my way back to class. As I walked in, I noticed another one of Sawada's kid friends waiting at his desk or something He sure does like to make a lot of friends with younger people; maybe he was into that loli-shota stuff. This one was wearing a fedora... Parents let their little kids wear all sorts of things these days, or maybe just the ones No-Good Tsuna meets.

Anyways, I walked up to the kid and told him that if he was looking for Sawada, he was probably up on the roof top. I had seen him and his friends head in that direction on numerous occasions. I guess that was their "spot." He just stared at me and it felt like he was sizing me up. For what you ask? I don't have a clue, but I can tell you that his glare was somewhat soul piercing. As soon as I felt uncomfortable, he smiled and just walked off, probably heading off to see Sawada. What a weird kid. Imagine that, a little kid creeping me out... Well, maybe it is believable; I don't have a knack for babies and kids. Being an only child might explain that a bit.

Ever since the year started abnormal things have been following that boy, but they happened so much that it became somewhat of commonplace.

Those two kids would come by very often, as well as some other weird girl from a different school. The kid wearing a fedora would show up a lot too. Now that I think about it, it always had something to do with Sawada. Yamamoto and that transfer student, Gokudera Hayato would also be constantly around him. Which reminds me, Gokudera would always be screaming "TENTH!" all across the school, trying to call to Sawada. What an ear sore. Also, what kind of nickname is that? What were they pretending to be, some gang or something and No-Good Tsuna was the leader? What a riot! I should probably be kicked for thinking such a ridiculous thing...

*AHEM*

As lunch ended and class resumed, the day went on like normal. The boring lectures continued with me trying to keep myself from falling asleep. School ended without a hitch. Clubs gathered to meet after school but I was always too lazy to join any of them, so I just left after saying a few goodbyes.

I got home and was about to relax until my mother asked me to go buy some stuff for dinner. Which now I wonder why she didn't just call me or something. I reluctantly agreed and went straight out again. Such is the life of an errand-running daughter. By the time I got done shopping, the sun was starting to set. I was a few blocks away from my house when I heard someone yelling. All I caught was "Lamb" and "stop" or something like that over a squeaky laugh. Both voices seemed really familiar.

That kid dressed up in the cow suit came into view, running down the street towards me. In the far distance, I saw No-Good Tsuna, Yamamoto, and Gokudera running after the kid. Unfortunately for me, the kid wasn't watching and slammed right into me. Flinching from my fall, I watched as one of the bags containing a melon I had bought slip out of my hand and smashed right onto the kid's face.

Naturally, my useless maternal instincts kicked in and I had no idea how to deal with him. He immediately started to cry. He started to mumble something like "Gotta stay calm" and tried to stop himself from crying. I let out a sigh of relief... That is, until he began to wailing even louder.

He started to pull a purple object out of his hair. When it was fully out, to my horror, it was a bazooka! What in the world was a little kid doing with a bazooka, hidden in his hair no less? Where did he even get it from? I immediately got up from the floor and grabbed one end of the bazooka. Amazingly, the kid tugged back as he cried. How in the world was this kid strong enough to have a "tug of war" with me, I would never know.

Moments later, I heard someone yell out "Lambo." The kid turned his head (still wildly crying, surprisingly) and I chose that moment to give a good yank. Now, at the time... I thought it was a good idea but looking back at it, I wish I never did. But the fact remains that I did and I lost my footing. The bazooka flew out of my hands... and right onto me!

I swear, at that moment I thought I was drugged because it seemed like I was going through a psychedelic episode. I felt like throwing up. Next thing I knew, I was in a traditional Japanese looking area. After I was done getting freaked out, curiosity got a hold of me. Wondering where I was, I carefully surveyed the place, went around a corner... and knocked right into a vase which shattered immediately. Panicking a bit, I quickly found a hiding spot and waited.

When I saw that nobody was coming, I got out from the hiding place and went towards another room, only this time being EXTRA careful. I opened the sliding door slightly and peaked in; nobody. Suddenly, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I felt like I was in danger. I quickly turned around and there was a man entering the room. Glaring at me, he clutched a pair of weapons in both of his hands and slowly made his way closer.

You can just guess my reaction. That's right, I screamed. I don't know what went through my body, but I could not move for the life of me... and this situation really WAS for my life!

...And so, that brings me to right now. You wonder, how am I telling you all of this in just a few seconds? Well, they say that your life flashes before you when you are about to die. Oh, I can safely say this is a death or death situation. I'm sure you caught that too, but in case you didn't, let me put it this way...

I DON'T WANT TO DIE! HELP ME!

Okay, so that's the end of that.
Excuse any spelling or grammatical errors; I tried my best to fix them all.

I didn't know what I wanted to write, and I didn't know how I should do it or even what the storyline should be. I ended up deciding that I might as well try my hand at an OC fanfic. A lot of people do have a hate for them, so I wanted to try to make a relatively "okay" OC.

To be honest, this really is an experiment. I don't know if I will continue or not. I guess it depends on the feedback I receive and how free I am with school and all. I'm not sure about pairings. Since people are very iffy when it comes to OC pairings, I don't know if I will even attempt to do it in the future (if I decide to continue) or who if any.

(The note inside the note: Reiko did have more "interactions" with Hibari than any other character so far but consider this just an introductory. It doesn't really mean much.

Also, about the 10 year bazooka, again-if I decide to go on with the story, questions left in this chapter will more than likely be answered in the next.) About the POV, it may be changed to third view depending on whatever gets into my self, also if I decide... well, you get the idea!

Okay, enough of the long author's note. I'm done. Please tell me what you think!
