Yamamoto and Gudukera were at Tsuna's house, talking and eating snacks that were hidden from Bianchi when the door bell rang. "我將得到它"(I'll get it) I-pin said and went to the door, with the threesome following her. A girl was there. She was about Tsuna's age and had short, black curly hair with silver and blue highlights. The hair on the right was long though, tied at the left eye was curtained by her bangs. Her sky blue eyes were soft but worn. A tiny hourglass hung off a chain as thin as hair. She wore a skirt the same color as her eyes, and carried a traveling bag and a scrap piece of paper.
"Um, is this the Tsuna's residence?" she asked softly. Reborn jumped onto Tsuna's head. The girl stifled a laugh.
"Hinata. What are you doin here?" Reborn's eyes narrowed, "You know Asyu won't like this."
Immediately, Hinata ducked her haid in shame. "She, she doesn't know I'm here. But I can make sure nothing happens!" Reborn halted halfway between slamming the door in Hinata's face. "The hourlass!"
"Well then… come in, " Reborn sighed, and steered Tsuna into the house.
"I want to get stronger," Hinata muttered, blushing into her tea, "Sister always protects me, yet I..." She winced.
"I see...," Reborn said, "You do realize that the Tiempo family and the Vongola are in bad relations? There is practically a war between your sister will probably murder us if she finds out you're here, even with that hourglass…"
"I left her a letter. She won't find out anyone until a month from now. Sister is in China still… And I'll convince her. I know I can." Hinata didn't look to happy about the thought, but her eyes showed confidence.
"W- wait Reborn. Who's the Tiempo family? And Asyu?" Tsuna interrupted. Tsuna looked genuinally worried. 'I could trust him,' Hinata thought. The black haired guy and smoking guy looked interested too.
Hinata looked uncomfortable, but Reborn ignored her. "The Tiempo family and Vongola have been in battle from the start of the mafia. Vongola Primo didn't like the ways. First and only son could be the boss. No one else. And strong Heigharchy. Very strict. But Asyu, Hinata's sister is the first female boss. Hinata is the first second sibling. But we still on rival terms." Then he turned to Hinata. "Are you sure?"
Hinata looked entirely brave, with no hint of fear in her eyes. "Yes."
"Then I guess I could take you on as a student."
Hinata's eyes sparkled in relief. Tsuna, on the other hand, still looked worried. "Are you sure Reborn? Couldn't this cause a major war?"
"What!" the smoking boy cried, "Then I'll just get rid of her." He got his bombs ready.
"Hey, just let it go," the black haired boy laughed, "She's serious. Besides, this might lead to a reliance, right kid?"
"Right," Reborn said.
"Thank you!" Hinata laughed in joy, "Oh, how rude of me! I'm Hinata Tiempo."
"T-Tsuna."
"I'm Yamamoto"
"Well, as long as you don't disturb tenth's training… I'm Godukera."
"Nice to meet you! Please take care of me!"
"So, Hinata, do you need a place to stay?" Reborn asked.
Hinata blushed. She didn't but she couldn't be a bother. "Of course!" she cried a bit too loudly. Hinata jumped and bowed. "Then, I'll see you all at school!"
The others just stared as Hinata ran out of the house. "What an odd girl," Yamamoto laughed.
"y- yea!" Tsuna agreed.
Godukera just looked pissed.
Out on an alley at night. There is no one out except for Hinata. The walls radiate coldness, but she ignores it. She examined an orange box, and went into it. Inside, her hand squeezed the hourglass as she drifted off into a dream with her sister.
