FANFICTION YAY!
OK! This is a Fanfic- of course, of Katekyo Hitman Reborn. It's mostly plot, some teenage angst and drama, and some romance thrown in! Horary!
BY THE WAY, I thought Hibari needed at least one sort of, complicated sort of friendship, thing (without it being fluffy or yaoi nonsense). So, I thought of a person who couldn't piss off Hibari, and be kind of his assistant (he's more of a dominant sort of guy) but make him frustrated by being nice to him, and not sickening him into biting this person to death. This will probably end up having something to do with Harry Potter, Baccano, or probably something else… eh… probably not... (Actually, definitely Baccano… I love it )
This is NOT an OC story, but we'll begin with the OC's side of the story first!
This might turn into a paring, depending on what the reviews say and how the story goes. The OC's name and what she/he does, you'll just have to figure out for yourself! (There's only one OC and some characters from Baccano! you don't need to know this anime to understand the plot of this, I'll explain everything!)
It's an annoying habit, but I tend to voice in my opinions and comments as one of these; *()* (even though I find these funny they won't be popping out in every paragraph… sorry about the crappy title… and the really long chapter titles...). They almost always have important info so don't completely ignore them!
This is NOT an OC story, but we'll begin with the OC's side of the story first! (I am aware that this is repeated, but read it again!)
DISCLIAMER- I OWN NOTHING OF KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN, BACCANO OR HARRY POTTER!

Chapter One-
In Which Harsh Beginnings Are Normal to the Unknowing, and Troublesome to the Responsible
-Somewhere in Russia-
"Oh wow." A teenage girl wearing a business women's suit with black boots under her dark pants remarked, while holding up a manila letter and envelope to her face. She sits down at her desk inside her office in the secret military base and stares intently at the letter written in Russian with her elbows leaning on the grey desk. She looks troubled, conflicted even.
With her smooth chocolate eyes, she scans over the paper again. "Reborn… you really do ask a lot from me… But you're just too much of a great guy to turn down!" The girl smiles and tucks back her dark hair behind her ear. "I just hope that you're letter is enough to convince the General…" she adds wistfully with a tinge of apprehension picking at her.
She pacifies herself and looks over her office quickly. The girl then picks up her suit case, fills it with clothes and necessities and grabs two brief cases and fills them with tools ranging from a simple metal hammer to colorful, moving, outlandish looking ones from various drawers in her quirky half-office, half-lab. She grabs her bags and the letter, stands up and walks down a pure white hallway with little window revealing military testing, leading to a massive steel door with two guards in Russian military uniforms.
Before reaching the door, the girl tucks the letter in the pocket of her over coat and puts on a concentrated stare of authority. She arrives two feet from the metal volt-like door and stops abruptly. The two guards look towards her with no expression. "Please let me through. I must talk to General Itsov" the girl says in near native-fluent Russian.
The guards look to her and nod then run a number sequence on the number pad behind them. With a sudden hiss and the curious stares from other workers in the base who never seen that door open before, the door folds up against the wall to the left. The girl walks into a bright and glowing doorway. "Miss Walker, where are you going?" a timid Russian voice called from the crowd of curious workers. The girl just turns around and with a nonchalent smile and says in Japanese, "Namimori, Nippon- mochiron" The girl turns on her heel and walks right into blinding lights. Another hiss comes from the giant steel hinges, and the door slowly closes on the curious crowd of Russian military workers.

-Sawada residence, Namimori Japan-
In a casual, small-town kitchen a baby, two young children and a woman with rosy hair sat at a modest table and ate breakfast. A normal, everyday picture. Though, the baby wearing a black suit and stylish fedora was actually an infamous hitman working for the all-mighty Vongola Mafia family, his name being Reborn. The people seated around him in the casual house were the same.
The rosy haired woman has a way with cooking and has had said meals eat through steel prison bars was also famous in the mafia world- her name is Bianchi AKA the Poison Scorpion. Two young children, one dressed in a cow costume and the other in a traditional Chinese dress, chased each other around the table making noise and commotion. The child in the cow costume, even as much as a baby as he acts like, is as well part of the Bovino mafia family as the other although not nearly as useful (at least not at five years old); his name is Lambo. The last child, the one wearing a Chinese dress with a small braid on top of her head, named I-pin, is a friend of the Vongola family.
"Here's some more rice," called a soft voice from somewhere near the table. A woman with short brown hair and a kind smile comes out from the small kitchen and brings the odd group of Mafia hitmen more rice for their breakfast. She smiles innocently at the notorious group. She is the only non-mafia member in this household. Her name is Nana Sawada, and the owner of the household.
Nana served everyone more rice to the children with "Thanks mama" returned. She smiled and took her seat at the table and starts to eat.
"Tsuna's going to be late again," Reborn commented as he gathered some rice with his chopsticks. "But it's expected." Reborn finished before stuffing his small childish face with rice. Bianchi nodded in agreement and said, "But didn't you say that the perfect at the middle school is a fearsome guy?" Bianchi stared at Reborn intently. Reborn just smiled an all too familiar smile of evil. Bianchi knew the chaos he could create and the vast variety of people Reborn knew, but that still didn't make Reborn's face any more readable. "It looks like we'll have to wait and see what Reborn is going to do…" Bianchi thought with finality.
"I'm going to be late!" a small, spiky headed, off-beat looking boy wined as he raced down from stairs to around the kitchen like an awkward school-girl, despite being a mafia boss in training. "Shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes"! Tsuna (the boy) chanted desperately, his eyes racing. Nana stared at her son with a blank expression, before breaking out in a realizing smile. "Oh here Tsu-kun! You left them by the table yesterday" she says holding up the shoes. Tsuna's expression went thankful and hurried as he slapped his shoes on and running out the door with a quick, faded, "Thanks mom!" the mother smiled back at her son, who ever since she hired Reborn to tutor him, has matured greatly. This is something that Nana felt, was worth smiling for.
Outside of the Sawada residence, a certain hot headed bomber and a baseball idol stood waiting for their friend. Tsuna came running out of his house with a short breath.
"Sorry guys" Tsuna apologized, while looking anxiously down a street that he used to go to school. He was late… again! Tsuna knew it was only a matter of time before someone noticed, whether it be his teacher or Kyouya Hibari.
The name almost stops his heart in cold fear.
"It's ok Tsuna! We'll get in trouble together!" Yammamoto stated with a comical, care free smile, and patted Tsuna's back too hard for the fragile mafia boss as he winced at the rough gesture.
"Hey, watch it baseball freak!" Gokudera shouted at the taller dark haired teen. Yammamoto looked conflicted for a moment, and then broke into his trademark grin. "Ah, sorry"
"You better be! If you hurt the tenth, I'll blow you up!" Gokudera threatened, lighting up eight dynamite sticks between his fingers menacing.
"No wait, don't blow anything up!" Tsuna pleaded frantically, looking back between his two friends.
Gokudera scoffed crossly and put out the dynamite sticks with a flick of his hands, "You better be thankful the Tenth is merciful!"
"I am" Yammamoto, although not fully understanding (still), answered honestly.
"ARE YOU BEING SCARCASTIC WITH ME? 10TH, PLEASE LET ME BLOW HIM UP!"
"Hiiiiie!"
- /-
With a couple of dynamite sticks thrown, laughter, and countless pleads, the three head off to school, this time very late.
Tsuna was practically trembling, and Gokudera was glaring angrily at Yammamoto's smiling face.
"Hibari-san, he'll definitely bite us to death today!" Tsuna sobbed inside of his head, clutching his chest in fear that it'll burst from anxiety.
"It's his fault" Gokudera thought intensely while never breaking his angry gaze from Yammamoto.
And Yammamoto couldn't stop thinking about tonight's baseball game, and imagined hitting a perfect home run.
"Why hasn't Reborn given me the Dying Will Bullet so I can be on time today? Isn't he supposed to be helping me?" Tsuna panicked inside of his head.
(Reborn has been smiling at the word 'school' for a week now, and Tsuna is getting more paranoid every day.)
"What if he planted bombs in the school? Or did he make Bianchi the school's Home EC teacher? What if he's planning on making me go to an all-mafia school?" each theory came and crossed Tsuna's mind, each one more terrible than the last, adding on the paranoia.
In fact, Tsuna didn't even see the tall, dark and ominous figure a foot away from him, just inside the school gates. Gokudera would have noticed too, if he weren't glaring at the ever-smiling Yammamoto, who unfortunately, smiles with his eyes closed.
"Oof" Tsuna grunted slightly as he felt himself walk right into something hard. "Did I just walk into a wall?" Tsuna wondered.
He felt a sudden surge of danger as he looked up to meet the vicious and cold gaze of the school's Perfect- Kyouya Hibari.
Tsuna let all of his week-long Reborn-made paranoia come out in one long bloodcurdling scream.
- /-
Inside the classrooms of Namimori, the children held a look of pure terror and the name 'Hibari' was tossed around in the sudden gossip from the blood-chilling excitement.
- /-
In just a street from Namimori middle school, a dark haired girl with chocolate brown eyes wearing the Namimori girl's uniform looked up to the sound of screaming.
She had an alarmed look on her face as she looked around with slightly widened eyes.
Then the girl looked towards the school's direction and started running, wearing a regular school bag (hanging from her shoulder) and an ebony black suitcase in each of her hands.
- /-
Hibari raised an eyebrow at Tsuna who was comically hyperventilating on the ground and clutching his chest with sweat around his face giving off a post-terrified look right at Hibari's feet.
Yammamoto and Gokudera turned around abruptly to the sound of Tsuna's scream and put on a war-face on. Their eyes widened at the sight of Hibari standing over the body of Tsuna who was in a fetal position.
"What did you do to the Tenth?" Gokudera asked menacingly. Yammamoto's face was free of smiles as he wore an intense battle-glare.
Silence fell over the school entrance like a cliché pre-fight scene.
"Nothing, but you three are late" Hibari answered with no expression showing on his face whatsoever as he weaved threat into his tone.
"H-Hibari you really scared m-me!" Tsuna finally announced in a shaky voice. Yammamoto and Gokudera relaxed and turned their attention towards sound of Tsuna's voice.
"Are you alright?" panted a winded, feminine voice with a noticeable accent. The group turned their attention to the dark haired girl behind Yammamoto and Gokudera, just out of the school gates.
The girl was breathing slightly hard, but caught herself. Then the girl returned the stares she received.
Hibari stood silently as he noticed the girl's stance was like a fighter's, but more defensive like she's been around. The way she carried herself was straight forwards and calm, like a Carnivore. But, her face and expression was far from anything threatening; sympathetic almost, an herbivore. Hibari found this strange, but just as interesting (though he'll never admit it).
"Who are you?" Gokudera was the first to break the silence.
The girl smiled and opened her mouth only to be interrupted. A small compartment opened up inside the wall in the school's gates near Tsuna's face, revealing no other than Reborn.
"Uwa! How did you get right there?" Tsuna asked, alarmed at the Reborn's sudden appearance.
"I told you, I have many secret hiding places in this school. I thought you might fall down here one day, so…" Reborn answered boredly.
"YOU SAW THIS COMING? NO, WAIT! YOU PLANNED THIS!" Tsuna yelled at the hitman.
Hibari glared at Tsuna for the sudden yelling. Tsuna shrank back.
Reborn's face was the usual smiling poker-face that made the hitman such a mystery.
"No-good Tsuna, meet Aniella Walker. She'll be helping your sorry ass" Reborn said, using his small arm to gesture to the girl who stuck out her hand, hesitated, pulled her hand back, and then bowed.
The word, "Foreigner" came to mind at the girl's awkwardness.
It took Tsuna a moment to realize Reborn's insult. "Stop calling me that, Reborn! And what good will it do bringing your student's self-esteem down anyway?"
"I ran out of willing helpers and I need some more things constructed so I called Aniella here." Reborn said, completely ignoring Tsuna. Hibari raised an eyebrow at this and looked at the girl. He knew the baby was strong, so she had to be strong for the baby to rely on her, even though she still looked like an herbivore.
Yammamoto came over to the girl and patted her back roughly. "Ah, so you're a friend of the kid. Are you here to play Mafia with us?"
"Uh, sure if you say so" the girl said easily, her lips turning in a lop-sided smile that looked quite cute. Yammamoto smiled his trademark smile in return, the king of obliviousness.
"He still thinks it's a game…" Tsuna thought, nearly face palming himself.
Then he realized something; she's here- with Reborn! "Don't make Walker-san part of the mafia!" Tsuna pleaded desperately.
Reborn flat-out ignored him.
Gokudera's eyes never left the girl, until his face light up with realization. "I've heard of you, you're that kid-prodigy Architect!" Gokudera said smiling at Reborn. "I thought she's European… or some kind of foreign? How did you get her here?" he asked.
"European? She doesn't look like it; in fact, she looks sort of Japanese, mixed" Tsuna thought. "She's one forth Italian and one forth Russian from her Dad's side and half Japanese from her mother's side." Reborn said, answering Tsuna's unspoken question.
"Mind reader! He's defiantly one!" Tsuna thought, panicking. "Of course I'm not, no-good Tsuna. You're just predictable" Reborn said out loud.
Everyone but Aniella and Hibari looked confused. Aniella had a blank smile of confusion on her face and Hibari had his usual cold gaze fixated on Reborn and Tsuna.
"Ah, well, um" Tsuna panicked at the venomous look he received from the school perfect, but Reborn cut him off. "Because of her skills in building and creating new and or improved things, she is being targeted by the Mafia and foreign Military forces, and so she's in of need protection. I brought her here from her home in Russia to be part of your family and even had her be transferred to your school" Reborn said, now standing on said girl's shoulder.
Tsuna's mouth dropped, "Russia?" The girl smiled widely, "Oh well when Reborn asked me to come, I just couldn't refuse! After all, he's helped me so much!" Aniella said smiling beaming gratefully at Reborn.
"You actually helped someone?" Tsuna asked in disbelief- Reborn just scoffed and jump from Aniella's shoulder and casually kicked Tsuna in the face with grace (hey, that rhymed!).
"I wouldn't go on insulting people like me, no-good Tsuna" Tsuna fell on his back and Reborn flipped backwards and landed gracefully next to Gokudera's feet.
"Tenth!" Gokudera called out then stood over his precious boss.
Tsuna went down, not before crying out, "I thought tutors are supposed to help their student's, not give them bruises!"
"Herbivore" Hibari commented coldly.
Aniella looked confused, but delighted in a sense. (weirdo)
Then, Tsuna realized something- AGAIN!; "Reborn, where is she going to stay?"
Aniella gave an oblivious, "huh?"
"My house is way too crowded, there's no way I can get any more people to fit in there!" Tsuna-the-all-caring said, looking nervously at the girl who currently, has no place to stay.
Reborn gave an all-knowing smirk. "I know. She will stay with Hibari."
Silence fell over the group again.
Aniella seemed composed with Hibari's animalistic stare on her, and returned a calm stare back.
Yammamoto gave a weak smile, "Reborn, she could stay with me…"
Tsuna was too shocked to hear Yammamoto's offer. Gokudera's jaw dropped, "H-he'll kill her!" Tsuna's brain was shorting out as he looked frantically between Reborn, Hibari and Aniella.
Hibari looked stone cold as always. Aniella seemed almost unaware of the danger Reborn the poker-faced just got her into.
"I don't remember allowing anyone staying at my house, Infant." Hibari remarked coldly, holding a steady gaze on Reborn who didn't seemed to care.
"Don't worry this will benefit you. I know you've been upset ever since the fight with Mukuro Rokudo," Reborn said. Hibari's gaze turned steely and hateful at the memory of the pineapple-headed man.
Poor Tsuna's heart nearly stopped in fright when he saw his expression.
"But you can practice with all of the Mafia members, especially Mukuro Rokudo and his gang that are out to get An-chan. You'll probably meet Mukuro again if you keep Aniella under your wing. I'm sure you can arrange that she can do her school work in the Discipline Committee's office, just to make sure she's safe" Reborn offered with a slight threatening tone under his smooth voice.
Hibari was silently thoughtful for a moment, then gave a dark, menacing smirk. He hated crowding, but he wanted to bite Mukuro to death even more.
"Alright" Hibari, amazingly, agreed. Tsuna's eyes widened comically as he looked at Hibari with shock.
"We're leaving, herbivore" Hibari said, walking over to grab the back of Aniella's collar then started to drag her down her towards the school in silence but stopped a few feet from the group.
"Get to class, or I'll bite you to death." Hibari added with ice-cold menace without turning around.
Tsuna, Gokudera, and even Yammamoto looked shocked (minus Reborn, it's sort of impossible for him).
Aniella blinked, but remained calm, surprisingly.
Before the two were out of sight, Aniella called out, "Bye Reborn, bye Tenth Vongola and friends!" cheerfully.
Hibari then dragged her to behind the school and then the two were out of sight.
Reborn stood triumphant and tall, for his size (to get Hibari to do something he doesn't want to do, is a great accomplishment!).
Tsuna looked so pale like he was going to faint. Yammamoto grinned weakly and rubbed the back of his head and said, "That's kind of a rough game". Gokudera was frozen staring at the spot he last saw the two before turning slowly back to Reborn, "What do you have against that poor girl?" he asked quietly, wondering what was the pint of killing off a stupid woman so soon.
"Nothing." Reborn replied bluntly.
Tsuna looked even more shocked "Then why-"? Tsuna began, but Reborn cut him off… again.
"We need Aniella for her skills; she's the best in the world currently. And we need Hibari to officially join the family." Reborn stated easily, like it's no big deal that a sweet and defenseless looking girl is going to be within five feet of Hibari on a daily basis.
Besides this, Tsuna wondered what Reborn meant by "And we need Hibari to officially join the family."
Tsuna just gave a confused look and Reborn smirked at him.
"Tsuna, what would you say about Aniella-chan; your first impression." Reborn said suddenly.
Tsuna was confused again, but answered, "Kind, maybe a caring person?" Tsuna said uncertainly.
Reborn nodded his head. "Both of those are true, but there's more to her than that. Aniella Walker has lived most of her life on a Russian Military base," Everyone looked surprise to see such a happy-looking, almost carefree girl would be raised in a Military base of all places. "So she has good, strong morals and values and is tough. She's also very smart in Mathematics, better than some college professors ever hope to be. She's not very good in Japanese reading and writing or other subjects at all, so you'll have to help her with that, no-good Tsuna" Reborn finished. It took a second for Tsuna to absorb the information.
"I have to tutor her? I'm no good at school too!"
"And you wonder why people call you no-good Tsuna" Reborn smirked starkly.
Before Tsuna could argue, Reborn continued, "She should be a good influence on you, and help you with your stupid fear of everything. More importantly, with her follower nature and natural friendliness and skills, she will be a good asset to our family and she should be able to befriend Hibari." Reborn finished, answering Tsuna's unspoken question again.
Once again, everyone was in shock. "Befriend… Hibari?" Gokudera asked, with his eyes wide.
Yammamoto was speechless but his comically placed grin never left.
Tsuna nearly fainted right then and there.
Reborn just smirked. "Go to class, you're at least five minutes late. Don't want the Discipline Committee to catch you all here, mouths hanging open" Reborn said carelessly as a sudden snot-bubble protruded from his nose.
"H-he's asleep…" the group thought together, sweat-dropping. No one let their eyes leave Reborn until now, and for Tsuna, Reborn's words just hit him.
"Hiiiie! We're late!" Gokudera's expression went to a grimace and Yammamoto just smiled. (Normally, five minutes late is nothing, but when Hibari is involved, being seconds late means getting your face damaged- HARD!)
Running, the three made it to their class, very, very late.
- /-
Inside the Discipline Committee room, Hibari was sitting at his desk filling out paperwork.
When Aniella first walked in, she set her bag and suitcase on a random table with a lot of chairs around it. Aniella was now calmly looking around the room, glancing out the window every once in a while.
Hibari noticed that she hasn't complained once since they meet. To Hibari's experience, Herbivores always complain. Then Hibari remembered that it's the baby's subordinate, and maybe that's why Walker isn't complaining, like a Carnivore.
"What connection do you have with the baby?" Hibari suddenly asked. Aniella stared at the perfect for a moment, feeling caught off-guard, but answered, "He is a friend of mine" calmly with her accent firmly attached.
Hibari could tell she was telling the truth and so he didn't press on. With the calming silence Aniella allowed, Hibari found his eyes closed.
Suddenly, a little yellow bird came through an open window in the room and landed on Hibari's head. Hibari seemed to be vaguely aware by its presence, despite its stark presence nestled in the Cloud Guardian's head that had inky black hair.
Confused by its presence, Aniella walked up to the bird. She came up to Hibari's side and looked at the yellow poof-ball. She found the bird harmless enough so she reached her hand out, attentively, to touch it.
But before her fingers could reach the animal, a strong grip held Aniella's digits just above Hibari's head. Aniella looked down shyly, but not scared, at the Skylark. Hibari noticed this lack of fear in her, but dismissed it and let go of her hand.
She let the limb drop to her side
"What are you doing?" he asked gruffly.
Suddenly, Aniella's eyes widened comically with excitement and her lips broke out into her own lop-sided smile.
"I wanted to pet your bird!" she says cheerfully.
Hibari thought of threatening her with his tonfa for something, but Hibari could not find that something, a reason to discipline her, despite her lack of fear.
Aniella, the brave girl that she was, lifted her hand and formed a mini-perch with her fingers and stared at Hi-bird encouragingly with her lop-sided smile unwavering. Hibari lifted an eyebrow at this, but Hi-bird flew from on top of the head of the discipline committee's head, to the girl's finger.
The girl's eyes grew larger with excitement and a delighted gleam lingered in her eye.
Before Hibari's eyes, Aniella's lop-sided grin widened to an almost smirk-looking smile. Hibari again wanted to say something to 'bite' her, but could not find a reason. She was being quiet, she wasn't making any trouble, she wasn't breaking any rules and for some reason, it didn't bother Hibari that Hi-bird was on her finger. Perfectly peaceful
"So when do I get school work? I haven't been to an actual school before…" Aniella began while sitting down to the table that had her bag and suitcase on it with Hi-bird still on her finger. Hibari grunted and got to his feet.
"Give me your schedule" Hibari demanded.
Aniella, who was more than used to taking orders while living on the Russian military base complied with no protest.
Hibari took the paper and walked just outside into the hallway, his hand keeping the door from closing. "Stay here, don't touch anything" he coldly stated and left.
Aniella took the order in with no complaints. After all, at the Military base, Itsov would have made her do push-ups if she dared complained. Aniella decided she didn't want to do push-ups here either. Sighing in the memory of Russia, Aniella took a whole apple pie from her bag, a fork and started to chow down. (Om nom nom nom nom!)
- /-
In the classroom of Tsuna, Yammamoto and Gokudera, things were not going well.
Their teacher promised them all detention, a bad mark, and extra work for being late.
Gokudera nearly bombed the entire room for the teacher's unfair punishment; if Tsuna didn't intervene. Yammamoto just chuckled and asked, "Is this still a game?"
Tsuna's head was now down and heavy on his desk in emotional exhaustion; Yammamoto was still smiling and paying attention to the lesson, although not really understanding it.
Gokudera sighed boredly at the math he learned while he was a child. What was this classroom full of? Idiots? Gokudera then caught glance of Yammamoto who was balancing his pencil on his nose with a grin that belonged to a child. Gokudera found his answer.
The teacher went on to a few more problems before the classroom door slid open.
All the children who had hopes for a pleasant distraction from this boring lesson were shattered as the Head Perfect stepped into the room.
Tsuna paled, Gokudera seethed, and the pencil fell off of Yammamoto's nose and the baseball prodigy just smiled towards the perfect with no evidence of fear.
The rest of the room froze with fear from the Perfect's dark, murderous aura they all unfortunately were familiar with.
"A-ah! Hibari-san! W-what brings you here? Are you bringing the new student?" the History teacher tried to look unafraid, but failed. The students couldn't exactly blame him…
"I need a math book, your class work and homework for the week. Also, Aniella Walker is excused from going to class. She might attend when I'm busy." Hibari stated 'politely' with hints of threat under his tone.
The Homeroom teacher seemed confused slightly, but gave the perfect the paper anyway.
"Oi, what did you do to Walker-san?" Gokudera asked the question everyone else was too afraid to ask. Well, Gokudera had to ask if the boss is concerned about her.
Hibari let his steely gaze land on Gokudera.
Children seated near Gokudera, including Tsuna, had the sudden urge to run away; fast.
"Nothing" the head perfect replied and promptly walked out of the room. The heavy air lifted from the room and everybody felt like they could breathe easier.
Tsuna looked worried, even though Hibari said he didn't do anything to Aniella. And even with Reborn's confidence that Hibari won't hurt Aniella, the brunette couldn't help but to worry.
Aniella with Hibari; it was like sending a sheep into a tiger's cage to Tsuna's boss-in-training mind.
Yammamoto noticed Tsuna's gloom expression and smiled kindly at him. "Don't worry Tsuna, the kid wouldn't leave Walker-san with Hibari-san if he was going to hurt her!"
Tsuna looked at his friend and smiled. Gokudera suddenly looked piss because A.) Yammamoto cheered up the Tenth before he could, B.) Tsuna was smiling back at the Baseball-idiot and C.) Gokudera is the Tenth's Right-hand man!
"Don't listen to that baseball-idiot! I'm sure Walker-san is all right!" Gokudera said reassuringly, even though he basically copied Yammamoto's exact words.
Tsuna started to look uncomfortable as Gokudera started to rant on how much he admires the Tenth, how hard he is going to work to be a better right-hand man, ect. Yammamoto wasn't sure what Gokudera was talking about, but decided to go with it.
"Hey, can I try out to be Tsuna's right hand man?"
"Oh, hell no! There's no way a bastard like you is going to be the Tenth's right hand man! Tenth, Do I have permission to blow up the baseball idiot?"
Tsuna smiled weakly and wondered how is it that things can go back to normal so quickly with his friends.
Thinking about it and watching his friends fight comically; Tsuna decided he liked it that way better.

Inside the clean, tidy, and lack-of-crowds hallways of Namimori, the school's head Perfect walked to his office while looking over Aniella Walker's files.
Earlier, he went to all of Aniella's teachers to pick up work and take a look at her files he got from the principal's office.
Hibari was admittedly surprised to learn that Aniella grew up in a Russian Military base.
He suddenly realized that that was the reason she did not complain, even though she didn't seem to be the soldier type.
As Hibari looked through some more, he found that she was a genius in building super-buildings and math. Nothing much more than that, Hibari found, was written. He suspected that any of Aniella's connections to the baby are covered up.
But, even so, Hibari felt that this was no ordinary Herbivore. Then Hibari finally caught himself; why was he going through this student's folder? Did it matter to Hibari if he knew more about the Herbivore, or cared if she was special?
Scowling, Hibari bit the thought away and walked back into his office to find his second in command Perfect, Kusakabe sitting down at a table with Aniella at his side, talking.
Hibari, for reasons he could not fathom, he felt bothered by this; just a tinge, but it was still there and Hibari could feel it. Kusakabe turned around in his seat, followed by Aniella to meet his especially steely gaze.
Hibari frowned and walked forward to the herbivores.
"Um… want some pie, Hibari-kun?" Aniella asks easily, turning slightly in her seat to let a half eaten apple pie in a tin pan into the perfect's view.
Kusakabe was shocked when the sweet, smart looking girl asked Hibari to join her for something and used familiar honorific, and even more shocked that Hibari only gave an "Hn" at her and went back to his desk to do some more paperwork.
It seemed like today, Kusakabe's job is being surprised; he had come into the room to find the girl inside and all by herself, eating pie and with Hi-bird with her (he flew away when Kusakabe got near).
He tried to get the girl to leave before Hibari came, but her mouth was so stuffed with pie she couldn't speak and only stared at him as she chewed through that darn pie. When she could speak, she had told Kusakabe that she was ordered to stay and offered some pie that he politely refused.
"Herbivore, here is your school-work. Get to it" Hibari broke the silence as he stacked a pile of paper next to a taller stack of paper that was looming over the perfect's desk.
Aniella looked surprised at size the stack and walked over and took it. At the base, her usual paper work was at least five times bigger than this!
As she walked up to Hibari's desk, she smiled her lop-sided smile at him, silently saying "Thanks".
Hibari looked at her for a second, emotionless, and turned back to his work. Normally, if a girl smiled at Hibari, he would have threatened to bite her; but he decided against it.
She did seem intent on doing her work and herbivores can't work with broken fingers.
Aniella sat back down on the couch to start on her work, with pencil in hand. She skimmed through the work, most of it Japanese writing. She knew Japanese to an extent (like a second grade status! That's sad for a middle school pupil!), but numbers and calculations, and especially something you had to make physical sense of, is what Aniella is superior in. She recognized the geometry problems on her paper immediately and answered the question just by glancing over it.
She's been solving problems like these in the real world and in blue-prints since she was eight.
From where Hibari was sitting, it looked like she was guessing on her work; slacking.
Hibari does not like slacking.
He rose swiftly out of his seat and strode gracefully over to Aniella. He looks to Aniella with a cold gaze. Aniella, who was leaning over her table, writing quickly, felt the gaze on her and turned her head up to meet the unfriendly stare.
"Slacking?" Hibari asked in a low, dangerous voice. Aniella stared up to Hibari. "Slacking… This isn't geometry?" Aniella asked, holding up her paper up to Hibari's face, feeling quite confused.
She's been working with this sort of math forever, did she really mistake it? Maybe is Algebra or simplified Calculus?
Hibari checked the first three problems mentally, expecting all three to be wrong, only to be surprised that no work has been done, but only the right answer was written below the problem.
He checked the rest in his head. "All correct" Hibari stated after an intense silence.
Kusakabe, who was being a nervous bystander the entire time had fully expected Aniella to be kicked out, got detention or some sort of punishment for skimming through the math homework. He would be lying if he said he thought Aniella was actually answering the questions correctly.
Hibari felt something tug at his instincts and glanced at the clock on the opposite side of the room. "Go out for patrol, I'll stay here." Hibari said to Kusakabe as he walked back to his desk.
"Yes sir" he replied with a bow and left with his eyes lingering with a worried gaze on Aniella before leaving the room.
Aniella only smiled at him and gave a small wave.
A few more moments and Aniella set down her pencil and the math work and picked up the Japanese class work. Hibari caught the strained look on her face as she looked at the characters.
Aniella, while living in Russia, only learned Japanese to talk to the Japanese scientists during world meetings. She learned just a simple dialogue to communicate with the Japanese, but she took an interest in Japan and learned the rest of it. Aniella never bothered learning how to read and write in Japanese, being sure that she'll never use it; at least, that's what her superiors told her.
"You're Russian, right?" Hibari asked Aniella. "Yes I am Russian." Aniella answered, blank-faced.
"You probably don't read or write in Japanese, even though you speak it." Hibari said flatly. Her face lit up with surprise.
Looking embarrassed and slightly ashamed, Aniella said "Yes" in the smallest voice she could muster.
Hibari frowned. Tokyo and other larger cities have Japanese writing classes for foreigners, Namimori does not.
"Ah, yes Aniella has lived in Russia most of her life, and has only learned to speak read and write in Russian, French and English. She may speak Japanese, but her superiors never bothered to teach her Kenji or anything else." Reborn said, climbing through an open window wearing a Russian military costume.
"Wow, how did you know? Do you serve in the Russian military too, sir?" Aniella asked, buying Reborn's costume completely.
"Ciaossu" Reborn said his usual greeting.
Hibari just stared at Reborn for a moment. "Infant, why are you here? Are you going to fight me?" Hibari asked, grinning, and bringing out his tonfas from under his coat.
Ignoring the fact that Hibari called the soldier, 'infant', Aniella let her eyes widen at Hibari.
Suddenly, Aniella grabbed something black from her boots and swung it forward with a firm flick revealing a pitch black swat-piton. Aniella had a serious expression as she blocked Reborn from Hibari.
"I will never allow anyone to harm a Russian soldier as long as I'm around." She said firmly, her chocolate eyes turning protective.
Reborn smirked at this, knowing Aniella devotion and loyalty towards the Russian military. He predicted that this devotion would become a pillar of understanding between the Cloud Guardian and Aniella the soldier.
Hibari stared emotionlessly at the two as he put his tonfas away. "What do you want then?" Hibari asked in a tone that any other person would take as threatening, but knowing Hibari, this is as kind as it gets even if Hibari does respect Reborn.
Reborn smiled, "he's not attacking Aniella, good" he thought before saying, "I'm dropping off some requests for new equipment that General Itsov would like you to make" Reborn lied as he held up some complicated, sketchy-looking blue-prints from no-where that he wrote five minutes ago.
Aniella slammed the point of the Swat-piton down onto the floor, retracting it and placed it back onto the side of her boot.
She turned around and stared at the blue-prints, analyzing. "Strange! What kind of energy works like that?" Aniella exclaimed with wide-eyes. Never in her life has she ever laid eyes on something like this, this, strange, "I'll need to work with the nervous system huh?" "A challenge… interesting…" Aniella said with her lop-sided smile.
She set it down on the window sill next to Reborn's feet. "When is it due? Did General Itsov say when it's supposed to be done, all 7 of them?" she asked eagerly. Reborn smirked at Aniella's eager-to-please face, knowing he successfully baited her.
He got a mission from the Ninth for Tsuna and his Guardians, and he knew convincing Hibari to go would be the most trouble.
He guessed that if he befriends Aniella, than his animalistic protective ways would force him to come along, when Aniella comes to the dangerous mission.
It was a pain convincing Itsov, the General of the Russian military to let Aniella go, but Reborn knew darn well it'd be hell convincing Hibari to go without a motive.
Tsuna at his current state probably couldn't keep up with a fight with his Cloud Guardian if Reborn bribed a fight with him for Hibari, despite Tsuna being the boss.
But, Hibari hasn't quite got there in friendship just yet. Reborn got Aniella to Japan a couple of days just before the official mission so she and Hibari could establish some sort of relationship, during the long-term mission. And possibly, make things more interesting along the way.
"As soon as possible" Reborn answered, resting his hand on the pants-line of his Russian Military Costume. Hibari, who now slightly curious about the blueprints, gave Reborn a calm stare.
Aniella looked conflicted but replied firmly; "yes sir" then saluted Reborn with her posture line-straight and military-perfect, wearing a stony expression on her face.
Reborn saluted her back, mimicking her posture, smirk in-tact.
Hibari raised his eyebrows but said nothing. "Carry on, Miss Walker. And when you're done with the project, give them to Tsuna Sawada" and with that, Reborn jumped out the window. "The Tenth Vongola?" Aniella wondered for a moment.
Aniella noticed the blueprints sitting on the window seal that the 'soldier' gave her. She picked it up and read it over again.
"Weird," thought Aniella, "this sort of energy is so bizarre, kind of like the rings Reborn had, and the energy from his pacifier, but the energy for this is… different…" Hibari studied the subtle expressions that flicked across Aniella's over-all confused face as she turned on her heel and walked over to the table that her stuff was on.
She opened up one of the identical suit-cases, revealing a wide arrange of tools; some common, some looking very bizarre.
Aniella reached inside of the suit-cases many compartments and took out a long, solid steel cylinder about an inch and a half in diameter. Using what Hibari guessed was a bone-saw; she cut the steel cylinder into seven equal pieces.
"And I'll just continue when we get home, huh Hibari-kun?" Aniella said as she put the metal pieces back into the suit case and closed it with a click.
"Hn" Hibari replied coolly. Just then a loud, jazzy song echoed into the room. Aniella reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a red cell phone. She flipped it open and the racy song ended.
"Hello, this is Aniella Walker speaking" Aniella asked in Russian (Russian and what Aniella actually said; Zdravstvuĭte, eto Aniella Uolker govorya). Hibari held his menacing gaze on Aniella who spoke in a strange Language.
A little noise came from the phone and Aniella's eyes widened with joy. "Isaac! Miria! Hey! How are you two?" she exclaimed in English, leaving Hibari feeling uneasy with the lack of familiarity, but slightly impressed by Aniella's knowledge of foreign languages.
"How are the others?" Aniella asked excitedly in an accented, but good-enough English.
The noise and commotion coming from the other end and Aniella's smile widened as she said, "Oh hi Firo, Ennis, Czeslaw! How are things in New York?"
More commotion and multiple voices came from the other end of Aniella's phone and she laughed.
"Awww! That's wonderful! So when is the baby due? Oh, I'm so happy for Keith n' Kate!" Aniella squealed in delight.
Hibari glanced at Aniella's smiling face, and so quickly that even if Reborn was still there, he would had to really concentrate to see the very quick flash of a shallow, but honest smile on his face that even Hibari didn't know he smiled.
Aniella, who was facing oppositely of Hibari, starting laughing and talking loudly on the phone, with a wide, smirk-like smile never noticed.
She was beaming in happiness and Hibari felt sort of, calm around her friendliness even though he didn't have a clue what she was saying. Hibari, who near this time did his patrol when the first period classes were dismissed, left his office.
As he walked through the halls of Nami-middle, he felt something holding him back.
He normally likes scaring Herbivore and biting random ones, but for some reason felt a need to go back to his office. Hibari thought this was strange because all of his work was done, and it was time for patrol.
Hibari, for a split second, thought that his want to be back because he wanted to be near Aniella.
As soon as the thought came, Hibari violently bit it away, making the School Perfect baffled at what he did and successfully put Hibari in a foul mood. More so than usual, anyway… The poor, undeserving students passing to their next class were left to deal with a grumpier-than-usual Hibari (and confused, even though he'll never admit it).

Before long, it was lunch-time and Aniella finished all of her home-work and class-work, with the help of Isaac and Miria who know more than they seem.
Aniella felt relieved to know some Japanese writing now and she was even able to work on the Project the Russian soldier (Reborn in disguise) gave her a little more.
Hibari came back into the office just before the lunch bell rang and when Aniella hung up her phone.
"Herbivore, it's lunch break" Hibari said. Aniella looked surprised, but grinned back anyway. "So, what do I do?" she asked innocently, but received a glare from Hibari.
"Stupid Herbivore" he commented.
Aniella has never once in her life been officially schooled, only to learn math and languages in the Military, so she has no idea what to expect.
On the bright side, this has been one of the most exciting days for Aniella, but all this excitement has left her starving, and lunch does sound good right now.
Hibari knew he felt some sort of attachment to the herbivore, and felt like he needed to prove to himself that he can send her off alone in a classroom and not feel regret."You're going to eat with other Herbivore" Hibari simply stated, half-heartedly answering Aniella's question.
Aniella gave a confused stare. "Follow me" Hibari demanded as turned around and headed out the door again. Aniella shuffled to get her bags and suitcase and jogged to catch up with the perfect in the hallway.

In Tsuna's classroom, the class ate lunch with hushed conversation, gossiping about the girl who seems 'untouchable' by the fearsome school perfect.
Hearing the gossip made Tsuna depressed.
Tsuna sighed down at his Mama's home-made bento.
He has been feeling worried about Walker-san all during class (the gossip helped), and barely paying attention to the lessons. He felt guilty for making Aniella come all the way to Japan- from Russia! And he felt even guiltier for making her work for the mafia and to be with Hibari.
"I must be one terrible person… what if she's hurt? I hurt a girl, didn't I? I'm the worst!" Tsuna thought gloomily.
Tsuna thought she was nice, maybe could befriend Kyoko and give her little hints for him…. "But," Tsuna thought, "She must hate me by now."
Gokudera noticed his boss's expression and made it bee-line (through crowding fan-girls) right over to him.
"What's wrong Tenth?" he asked with concern in his voice.
Yammamoto, who sat next to Tsuna, joined in the conversation.
"Is it Walker-san?" he asked.
"No one asked you, baseball-freak!" Gokudera shouted at Yammamoto's cheerful face.
Yammamoto gave a small laugh.
Tsuna, who didn't lift his head from his bento, nodded his head meekly.
Gokudera's eyes went soft and said, "Don't worry about her! If Reborn knows her then she must be strong, right?"
"But Reborn said she needed protection because she was being targeted by the mafia AND foreign governments!" Tsuna argued, lifting his head to meet his concerned gaze with Gokudera's eyes.
Gokudera wasn't sure what to say to that… "Well I-" Gokudera's sentence was caught off by the sound of the door of the classroom opening.
All eyes shifted to the girl with the ebony black suit cases, and the ominous head perfect of the school right behind her.
"Walker-san!" Tsuna shouted in surprise in the room filled with silenced their gossip with Aniella's sudden appearance.
Aniella looked to Tsuna, smiled and waved.
Tsuna felt himself smile back at the girl's good natured persona.
Then, Hibari's intense gaze landed on Tsuna for his sudden outburst. Tsuna froze in his seat.
Hibari scoffed in disgust of Tsuna's Herbivore-ness and turned his head turned towards the teacher.
"The herbivore will eat here, I need to do something" Hibari said with his usual menace.
The Math teacher, who was also scared of Hibari, gave a shrill nod.
Hibari nodded and left, not without giving Aniella a quick glance that nobody, except for Tsuna, caught.
"He glanced at Walker-san… does that mean he cares already?" Tsuna thought cheerfully.
A sudden image of a kinder and less violent Hibari crossed his mind as he thought of Aniella and Hibari as friends. "School would be so much less frightening!" Tsuna thought blissfully, now the only one besides Yammamoto who had a pleasant and un-fearful expression on their face in the classroom.
Yammamoto was the one to break the suffocating silence. "Ah, Walker-san! Want to eat lunch with us?" he said cheerfully, wearing his usual smile.
Yammamoto's voice seemed to break all of the tension in the room, as the students started up chatter and gossip again.
Aniella smiled back at Yammamoto as she took a seat at the desk in front of Tsuna, ignoring Gokudera's protests.
She turned around and faced Tsuna with a calm smile. Tsuna blinked at her, not knowing what to say. After all, she could be the one to make Namimori less violent and an actually safe place.
"You must be the Tenth, am I right?" she said innocently, accent and all.
Tsuna suddenly looked despaired and his head dropped. "I'm not a Mafioso!" he cried. Gokudera looked shocked,
"Of course you are Tenth! Who told you that you weren't? I'll blow them up!"
"Hiiii! Please don't blow anything up, Gokudera-kun!" Gokudera looked at Tsuna with admiration-filled eyes.
"You're so admiral and kind, Tenth! You are the perfect boss!" he gushed comically, little sparkles of admiration floated and glistening in the golden sunlight that engulfed the smiling terrorist (AN: am I descriptive enough?).
Yammamoto just smiled and nodded, not really knowing what his two best friends are talking about.
Aniella made a quick incline of her head as well and said, "Reborn said many great things about you, Tsuna-sama!" with her usual lop-sided smile.
Tsuna was in disbelief, "Really?"
"Yes, of course!" Aniella said cheerfully, but somehow didn't seem honest. Tsuna felt that she might be adding sugar to whatever Reborn actually said.
Tsuna let his expression turn a 'Reborn was here' one.
Aniella didn't seem to notice the dismay on Tsuna's face as she suddenly leaned closer to Tsuna's ear and said in a loud whisper, "And I'll have that project ready for you as soon as possible"
Tsuna just stared at the girl confused.
"What project?" Gokudera asked determinedly, not wanting to be left out on anything Tsuna-related.
"The rings, of course" Aniella answered while pulling a canteen filled with Borshch and some pirozhki (these are typical Russian food).
Tsuna looked confusedly at the food Aniella pulled out then at Aniella. Tsuna already won the ring conflict, what other rings does he need?
Tsuna panicked, "What rings?" he asked urgently.
Aniella looked at Tsuna with big eyes. "The translator rings … a Russian Soldier came by today and gave me these blue-prints and told me to give them to you when I was done. Don't worry, we won't talk about it here just in case of enemy families!"
Aniella began as she pulled the blue-prints that Reborn, or the 'Russian Soldier" gave her.
"Like the actual military, Russian Government, Russia?" Tsuna panicked as he stared at Aniella.
Tsuna grabbed the papers from Aniella and looked over them only to have a strained look across his face. As he held the papers closer to his face, he notices how complicated the pictures look, and the language. Everything on the blue paper was written in was bizarre and foreign looking.
"W-what language is this?" Tsuna said feeling over whelmed by the complicated pictures and symbols.
"Russian" Aniella answered easily. Not only did Tsuna not understand any Russian at all, but now he knew he really didn't know what Aniella was talking about; 'project' and all.
Tsuna sighed heavily and his shoulders slumped. "What's wrong, Tsuna-kun?" a pretty girl with orange hair asked kindly, wearing a warm smile. An equally pretty girl with brown hair that is pinned up stood next to her, "Yeah Tsuna! You've been looking so gloomy!"
"Kyoko, Haru!" Tsuna said the girl's, surprised. Tsuna's eyes wondered slightly to Kyoko and could feel his cheeks heat up.
Gokudera growled at Haru and Yammamoto just smiled friendlily at the two girls.
Aniella stared at Tsuna's blush before saying "C'est l'amour!" in a teasing tone and a sly smile.
Tsuna didn't understand what Aniella said, and he was also sure that wasn't even Russian.
"What love?" Kyoko asked innocently, staring kindly at the Russian (C'est l'amour= its love!). Aniella just snickered. Tsuna, who panicked upon hearing the words 'love' from Kyoko turned his head fast enough to snap it, back to Aniella.
"She knows I like Kyoko?" Tsuna panicked in thought. Aniella took Tsuna's panicked expression in another snicker and turned back to Kyoko and said, "Oh, vous parlez français? Comment vous appelez-vous?" she asked in a language that Tsuna didn't know, Gokudera didn't know, and he knew Yammamoto didn't know, but Kyoko seemed to know.
Tsuna started to frantically make up incoherent sentences at the Russian and Kyoko while they spoke what sounded like complicated gibberish to him. "Oui, mademoiselle. Je m'appelle Kyoko. Comment vous appelez-vous?" Kyoko answered slowly and in an amateur, but with a delighted gleam in her eyes.
Kyoko never meet a female foreigner before, and this was exciting to her.
Gokudera, Yammamoto and Haru watched as strange words were passed between the girls.
Tsuna's hands were in his face as he bared torture to listen to a conversation between the girl he liked and another girl who knew he liked her, in a foreign language.
Aniella's harmless fun ended when she said in Japanese, "Kyoko, you're French isn't bad! Speak faster and the natural accent will come to you, as well as the pronunciations" she said encouragingly.
Kyoko's face lit up. "Really? You think I can speak French?" she said with dreamy eyes. Tsuna couldn't help but to fight the blush off his cheeks at Kyoko's smile.
Aniella nodded with a kind expression at Kyoko, which turned mischievous when her eyes landed on Tsuna. "Teasing time!" Aniella thought evilly, and Tsuna could feel it. "Black-mail! I knew this girl couldn't be as innocent while still being friends with Reborn!" Tsuna thought with dread.
"Oh yeah, Aniella?" Yammamoto asked, gaining Aniella's attention.
"Hm?"
"How was your stay with Hibari-san?" he asked with a smile.
Tsuna, who completely forgot Aniella's dangerous position, jumped into the conversation, "What did he do? You're not hurt, are you?" he asked concernedly.
Aniella looked at Tsuna blankly. Haru and Kyoko just looked to Aniella, confused.
"You mean, if I fell? Well I'm not really clumsy…" Aniella began, not fully understanding what they meant. Tsuna's mouth fell agape.
"She's not hurt, and not terrified, pale or shivering!" Tsuna concluded with shock.
"Hibari gave me my school-work and I talked to my friends in New York, America for help with Japanese" Aniella said, pleased with her first school-day experience.
"Whoa, you know some Americans, Aniella?" Yammamoto asked excitedly, "Do they play baseball a lot there?"
Tsuna, Haru and Kyoko just smiled at Yamamoto's love for baseball, and Gokudera just looked plain-out annoyed.
"Well it is America's favorite past-time… My friends Isaac and Miria like baseball, we play together time to time" Aniella said, remembering some baseball games she played with those two.
Yammamoto's smile widened with a gleam made of sun-shine and happiness glittered cheerfully in his eyes. (lol baseball-freak!)
"Ah, I really want to visit America!"
"You should, it's a really wonderful place! I plan on living in New York with my friends one day!"
Aniella stated cheerfully. Aniella's happiest moments were with Isaac, Miria, Firo, Maiza, Luck and the others in New York City.
Their legacy and souls seemed to be indestructible and ever-long, and Aniella dearly enjoyed every moment she shared with the strange, yet friendly group. Besides, Aniella has a good feeling that her father is somewhere in America.
Aniella made it a life-goal to find him, or his grave one day.
"America is all right" Gokudera commented casually. He's been to America before, but he prefers his home, Italy (or with his Tenth), to the big apple.
"Wow that's so neat" Kyoko said with a light hearted smile that made Tsuna blush. Tsuna looked nervously between his two friends and Aniella; feeling left out and out shined by his peers.
"They're so cool; they've been to other countries! I've only been to Mafia-land once, and I didn't do anything but train" Tsuna thought slightly depressed.
"Aniella I'm curious" Yammamoto said suddenly, attracting everyone's attention. "How is it like in Russia?"
"Wow, the baseball idiot makes a reasonable question!" Gokudera said sarcastically. Tsuna just leaned forward to hear Aniella's answer; he really did wonder what Russia is like.
"It's covered in snow year-round where I live; Northern Russia, but it's peaceful and there's lots of frozen lakes to skate on." Aniella answered with a containing look to her. Tsuna felt something off about how she answered, but let it pass.
She's probably just tired from traveling, right?
"Sounds like a winter-wonderland" Haru said with dreamy, spacey smile. Aniella laughed and said, "Yeah, basically!"
Everyone laughed along.
Reborn stood just outside the classroom door, on the window. He smiled at his student and his family.
He knew that Aniella could give them strength, and finish his little project for the next mission. Reborn knew that the next mission is bizarre and a risky one, but with Hibari on their side, nothing too bad will happen; if he feels like helping the rest of them, that is.
"They're ready, probably. If they're not, too bad; they can learn on the job, after all, autumn is approaching…"

I realize how awful the chapters are formatted, so I'll be fixing the rest of them later! Aniella is bit of a Mary Sue, I won't lie! I wrote this when I was young, but decided to post it anyway. It was an entertaining idea at the time :D
Btw, this takes place in Katekyo Hitman Reborn, between the Varia and Future Arc. It's retarded in Time-line terms. But, it's pretty entertaining.
Please review, but don't read the next chapters till I say so!
