Chapter 1
In Which I'm Kozato Mami
-XXX-
I died in the most unexpected way.
I mean, I expected it - well, more of it came across my mind sometimes, but it was still unexpected. It's not like I don't fear death, (though it sounds that way) I just don't put too much thought into it - I do put some thoughts into it - err, it's all kind of confusing.
But my death was still unexpected.
I'm not very happy about it. Nor do I really care (is that even normal?). I guess it's just neutral. And I don't want to talk about it.
I thought that after death you'd be in Heaven or Hell. Maybe even reincarnation (wouldn't you lose your memories?). But I was staring in a multi rainbow flowery field that stretched beyond the horizon. I stood smack in the center of the field which happened to be a large pond. So clear, it reflected the drifting clouds in the sky and myself. I couldn't even see past the water.
And then, I felt a breeze and saw soft ripples of water in front of me. I looked up. It was a teenage boy with dark purple spiky hair, onyx eyes and pure white and rather plain clothing. He had a smile on his face.
Were those wings on his back?
"You're an angel aren't you?" I said.
"As sharp as ever I see, Valerie!" He grinned.
"So I take it that you're a guardian angel, right?"
"Yup!"
"Don't you find it weird as to how I guessed right?" I raised a brow.
"Nope!" He beamed. "I've watched you for so long, I know exactly how you react and respond. It's very amusing. You never bore me whenever I check in on you."
"Stalker."
He chuckled. "You're just like my other charge."
"She must be nice."
"She's actually your cousin, Avis Vessalius."
I choked and teared up at the name. Avis was my cousin and best friend. She died a few months ago in a school shoot out. I heard that she died intercepting a bullet to the fucking girl who was her fucking tormentor to save that bitch's life.
Avis - she - she didn't deserve to die. That bitch did.
Why?
I ask myself that even though I know that I would have done the same. To save someone's life, no matter who they are or what they did, is worth it. Sounds pretty stupid considering all the evil people in the world. No one deserves to die. No one.
I wiped my eyes and restrained myself from crying as the painful throbbing in my throat continued to worsen.
"There, there," a hand patted my head before I was brought into a hug. "Don't cry, I don't like seeing you upset. It'll make me upset and then I would want to bawl my eyes out. So smile and be happy~!" The angel ended happily and released me from his suffocating hug.
I nodded and breathed.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"And I forgot to introduce myself again!" He gave me a foxy grin. "How silly of me."
"My name is Rei, and I'm your guardian angel." He bowed like a butler.
"Thanks Rei. For the hug." I took another breath. "I needed that."
"No problem at all! I'm glad to be at your service!"
I laughed and did a mocking curtsy. We grinned at each other before he straightened.
He cleared his throat. "On to business, Valerie Vessalius. Age: 14. Birth Date: July 21st 2000. Height: embarrassingly 4'11". Hair: a delicious chocolate brown. Eyes: kaleidoscope hazel. Cause of Death: horrendously-"
"Stop." I cut him off. A feeling of bitterness wormed its way into me. "I don't want to hear it or remember it."
"Sorry about that." He grinned again. "It was common protocol so I forgot that you don't want to remember it again."
I sighed. "It's fine."
He frown instantly at my answer. "No it's not!" A look of guilt crossed his usual cheerful face. "I made you sad. And it's not fine." He stared at his feet. "Many of my clients are young much like you. They like to hide the fact that they are hurt. And it hurts them more that way . . ."
I stayed silent for a moment before I decided to change the subject. "So what's going to happen to me? Am I going Heaven or something?"
"Nope!" He snapped out of his depressive mood and back to his cheerful self. "Those cliché things that happen in those fanfictions you read are finally going to come true~!"
"But I didn't do anything deserve rebirth . . ."
"You deserve a second chance after the injustice of what happened to you. Everyone deserves a second chance."
"Are you sure, everyone?" I glowered.
"Urr, maybe not on second thought . . ." He rubbed the back of his head.
"So where am I going?"
"Katekyo Hitman Reborn."
.
.
.
.

"OH. MY. GODS!" I squealed loudly and glomped him; nearly knocking him off his feet. "THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!"
"You're welcome."
"Will I see Avis too?"
"No." He said sadly. "You'll be going into a parallel world."
"Oh . . . okay . . ."
He laughed and ruffled my hair. "I wish you luck, Val. Hopefully . . ."
His voice faded as I felt him and the scenery around me fade all to white.
-Reborn-
What I'm staring at right now . . . was a man. And he had red hair. No. Not ginger hair. It was blood red. And he had brown eyes.
At that moment, I realized I'm in Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Just like in those fanfictions I've always read.
How I know? Everything was animated in the familiar style of Reborn.
I blinked and remained silent.
He smiled warmly and gazed into my eyes.
Then, a beautiful woman - no, goddess, came into view. She had honey brown hair, fair skin, and the most stunning jade eyes I've ever seen. (Technically, it's my first).
She leaned on the man's shoulder and smiled softly.
My breath hitched.
A goddess I tell you.
"Aren't they both just the sweetest?" She cooed.
They?
What does she mean by they?
I then realized that there was something warm right next to me. I turned to the right - at least as best as this baby's body could move.
Another small bundle was beside me. All I could see was a tuff of red hair. The bundle suddenly turned over.
I found myself staring at beautiful deep red orbs with a compass symbol. Just like the emblem of the . . . Shimon . . . famiglia . . .
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.

I let out a horrified shriek that sounded more like a baby's whacked up babble.
Right before my eyes, was the Decimo of the Shimon famiglia, Kozato Enma.
He blinked innocently.
"Bwah?"
I inwardly squealed at how adorable he was. HE WAS SO CUTE!
Wait.
If he's Enma . . . then who am I?
Okay, calm down. First, review.
I've been reincarnated into Katekyo Hitman Reborn by a Guardian Angel named Rei.
Sawada Tsunayoshi would become Vongola Decimo.
He and Enma were going to fight in the future. And they were going to get hurt. Badly.
Enma's father was Kozato Makoto. His mother is unknown and he had a li-
"Mami,"
I snapped out of my thoughts.
Mami?
I looked around the room.
"Mami?"
I turned to the voice of the goddess. She was staring straight at me. "Mami, are you alright?"
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And then it hit me.
She was talking to me.
She was referring to me.
Kozato Mami: killed by Daemon Spade at a young age, along with her parents in Flood of Blood.
I waited for my brain to process the information.
I am Kozato Mami.
I am going to die.
I am going to fucking die.
I realized my cruel fate. I wasn't going to live for long. I was going to die in seven years.
I burst into tears.
I'm going to be murdered by a fucking obsessive melon!
"Mami!" The goddess lifted me out of the crib and cradled me against her. "There, there," she whispered softly. "Don't cry."
She hummed a song that sounded familiar. Very familiar.
I sniffled and blinked away the tears.
"Mommy's here."
Tears flooded my eyes again.
. . . Mommy . . .
She kissed my forehead and set me back down in the crib. Right beside Enma.
"Come on dear," she whispered as she flicked the lights off. "Let the children sleep."
"Alright." The man, I believe to now be Kozato Makoto replied as he shut the door silently. Their footsteps silently faded.
.
.
.
.
.
"Wah?"
I turned my attention to Enma. He blinked and stared at me before he stuck his tiny fist into his mouth; drooling.
I narrowed my eyes in disgust.
"Twatz dizguzing." I spoke for the first time. My voice was high and pitchy. It make my ears ring from the sound of it alone.
He squealed and took his fist out of his mouth, creating a thick trail of saliva and patted my cheek with his hand. Repeatedly.
Read: saliva covered hand.
I cringed and mentally cried in disgust.
"Bwad." I said.
He blinked in confusion.
"Bwad Emma."
He stared at me for a moment.
Then stuck his tongue out.
"Yew wittle bwat."
He giggled. Cutely.
-XXX-
Well that's the first chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my OC(s) of course.
I decided to write in a different style and so I did.
To be honest, this story was inspired by the amazing fanfic: The Truth of the Sky by LeoInuyuka.
I wanted a character that no one has written a reincarnation fanfic of, so I thought of Kozato Mami, the first fic of its kind - or at least, to my knowledge anyways.
This would be my first time having a character with this personality.
And yes indeed. This story does have a connection to my other fic: Vongola's Guardian Angel.
I'm also planning more Reborn fanfic as well that might or might not be published. Depends.
Anyways, please leave a review!
Ciao!
