It was the start of a new school year for the Namimori students. But for Sawada Tsunayoshi and his famiglia, it was the start of their junior year inhigh school.

"Ohayou, Juudaime!"

"Ah, Gokudera! Ohayou!"

"Tsuna! Good morning!"

Tsuna smiled as Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi stood on either side of him as they walked into their classroom. The bell rang and everyone took their seats, awaiting the teachers arrival.

"Alright, alright. Quiet down."

The room fell silent as the middle aged man - obviously the teacher - entered the room. Tsuna looked around. He'd been in school with these people most of his life,but there was one person who stood out the most.

It was a girl, about seventeen - the same age as them - that sat in the back of the classroom. She had a bored expression on her face and had her head rested in the palm of her hand. She was fairly normal looking, but she definatly wasn't Japanese. She hadlight auburn hair that reached just above her mid-back and her skin was a light, natural tan.

But what stood out the most, were her bright emerald eyes. Although her eyes were half-lidded from boredom, her eyes still shined brightly.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi? Sawada!"

"Huh?" Tsuna looked back at the teacher who seemed pretty aggrivated and impatient.

"Quit gawking at the ladies in the back and pay attention!"

"H-hai... " Tsuna's cheeks blazed red as he sank down in his seat. Students snickered, only bringing him more humiliation.

"Now, I'd like to introduce our new student. Miss, if you'd please stand and tell us your name?"

Everyone turned to look at the girl in the back that Tsuna had been staring at. She blinked and looked at the teacher.

"Who, me? Oh, right." She stood up and yawned. "I'm Luciana de Luca. If you haven't already noticed, I'm the foreign exchange student from Italy. Nice to meet you all." She sat back down immediatly, resuming her bored look from before and resting her head in the palm of her hand once more.

Everyone turned back to the teacher and began their lesson for the first day.

'Italian exchange student...Why do I have a bad feeling about this... ' Tsuna thought. 'She doesn't look like she'd be involved in the mafia or anything. So maybe she's just a regular girl from Italy that just moved to Japan with her parents...'

"Okaa-san! I'm home!"

"Alright, Tsu-kun! Dinner will be ready soon!" Nana, his mother, shouted back.

Tsuna took his shoes off at the door, Yamamoto and Gokudera doing the same thing as they headed up the stairs to his room.

"So Tsuna. What do you think of Luciana? She's pretty right?" Yamamoto stated as they entered Tsuna's room.

"Baseball nut! Don't bother Juudaime with such stupid questions!" Gokudera snapped back at Yamamoto.

"C'mon guys. Let's just do our homework so we can-" Tsuna froze at the sight before him. Reborn was in his room, nothing new there. But he wasn't alone. Instead of being in Bianchi's arms, he was being held by the new girl, Luciana. Whom had already made herself comfortable on his bed.

"Ciaossu, Tsuna. I believe you already know Luciana. She came here all the way from Italy just to train you." Reborn looked at Tsuna, who was still frozen in the doorway. "Tsuna?"

"Reborn! Why did you do this? I told you I don't want anything to do with this mafia crap!"

"Calm down, Sawada. I'll only be training you in hand-to-hand combat, since, from what Reborn has told me, you terribly lack. And I won't be going easy on you. So I hope you're prepared." Luciana stated as she stood, setting Reborn on the bed and cracked her knuckles.

Tsuna's eyes grew wide. "W-wait a-a s-s-second! I never agreed to this! I don't want to! I don't want to!"

The small italian girl scowled. "What kind of boss are you? You're far too weak. I will train you, like it or not. We'll start tomorrow. And don't try to hide from me because I will find you."

Gokudera jumped in front of Tsuna, bombs in his hands. "Stupid woman, who the hell do you think you are, threatening Juudaime like that?"

Luciana looked at Gokudera, eyes narrowed. "My name is Luciana, not stupid woman. Get it right you damn octopus head." Gokudera growled and she stepped closer to him. "How do you expect this boy to be the tenth generation boss of a mafia family if he can't fight? As of right now, I see absolutely no potential in this boy at all. He needs to learn or he'll never make it in our world. You're Gokudera Hayato, correct?"

Gokudera scowled. "Yeah, what's it to you?"

"You're his right hand man. You should understand that he needs this." She then turned her attention to Tsuna, whom was now sitting on his bed. "Sawada Tsunayoshi. I understand this isn't what you want. But you were chosen by the Kyuudaime, meaning that he sees something in you that none of us can. And I'm here to bring that side of you out."

Gokudera and Yamamoto both sat on the floor, Gokudera scowling and Yamamoto listening intently to the girl as though she were telling an amazing story.

"Oh, and by the way, you can call me Luci. I'm not evil or anything so stop looking at me like I'm gonna eat your soul or something," she said, laughing lightly. She plopped down on Tsuna's bed. Everyone looked at her, absolutely flabberghasted. It was as if she were two people. One minute she's serious and scary and the next minute she's lazy and childish.

"So, Luci... How do you know Reborn?" Tsuna asked, turned towards the two. She was currently cuddling Reborn as if he were a plushie.

"Mm, well," she started. "I heard he was looking for a hand-to-hand combat trainer and it's what I'm good at. So I talked to him about it and here I am. And Tsuna, we'll be training three days a week, if that's all right. I don't wanna work you too hard or you might die." She laughed. Tsuna shuddered. This girl was an odd one.

"So, starting tomorrow, we'll be training at your school. Be there by two o' clock sharp or I'll get you myself."

Tsuna gulped and nodded. Now that he thought about it, he'd rather go through all the training then find out what she would do to him if he tried to run.
