Chapter 1 A new start!
It has been three years since everything ended. The
Shimon are friends again, so it should be normal, right?
We graduated middle school and went to high school, so
it's all peachy!
Not~
This is my new life…
Xxx Normal POV xxx
It has been three years since the Shimon incident. Tsuna, Korin, Mikuri, everyone all graduated from Middle School and is now attending Namimori High. It was a miracle that Hibari decided to move up with them. Also, Mukuro was free from his water prison and under the Vongolia's eyes, he too enrolled into the high school everyone else, even Chrome who began living with Tenchi along with Mukuro.
We now move to the nice apartment where our hero is changing into his school attire, a black gakuran over a white shirt and black pants, his right hand still bandaged up to seal the DM. "Oi, Mikuri! You ready yet?" He asked as he knocked on the toilet's door.
"Just a second!"
Korin has really changed over the three years. His height is now of a normal seventeen teenage boy, although his body is just as slim as a girl's even have some curves in some areas and even his face still has that cute girl look to it. He has become stronger and smarter, finding his Motoyama's heritage along with unlocking his Yurei-me's power. He has partaken in a few missions in the three years by the Assassino, none of which are actual assassination, usually extermination of overcrowding demons and delivering supplies. Although he did took part in the destruction of a base of evil mages.
"I'm done!" Mikuri walked out of the bathroom, in her school uniform which is a white long-sleeved sailor uniform with a red ribbon and matching mini-skirt.
Mikuri too has changed over the three years. She grew to up to Korin's shoulder at least and she became more beautiful as ever, becoming the second school idol along with Kyoko, who too became equally beautiful. Her hair is still as long as it was three years ago but she decided to let it down instead of tying it in a ponytail like she always do. Her body is really something to talk about as it almost as if she was born to be a model, with the amazing stack at the proper places.
"Here you go." Korin gave her school bag into her hands.
"We're leaving!"
"Take care!" Cosma called out.
"Wait for me, Korin-nii, Mikuri-nee!" Adhira called out as she ran off with her backpack on her back.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, Juudaime!" Gokudera bowed to Tsuna.
"Now now, Gokudera-kun." Tsuna tells his friend, "There's no need to do that."
"Hahaha, you're still playing that game, Gokudera?" Yamamoto laughed.
The three friends still haven't changed in the three years. Tsuna has finally accepted the fact that he is the candidate for the tenth generation Vongolia Boss and decided to put all his efforts into the training Reborn has given him. He became stronger, faster and smarter, rivalling Gokudera in intelligence. He too grew taller as he is as tall as Korin. The other two hasn't changed much over the years, still the same short-tempered bomber and happy-go-lucky baseball addict.
"Teme! Like I keep telling you, it's not a game, Yakuu-baka!"
"Ohayo, Tsuna." Korin called out from behind.
"Ohayo, Korin." Tsuna greeted back.
"Ohayo, Mikuri-chan~" Kasumi went behind and hugged Mikuri.
"Kasumi-chan!" Mikuri cried out.
"Yo, Korin." Nerio greeted.
"Yo, Nerio."
"EXTREME OHAYO!-!-!-!-!-!" Ryohei boomed from behind.
"Keep it down, you turf-top!" Gokudera shouted.
"What was that, Tako-head!"
Ryohei is still the same, no matter how many years have passed.
"And here's the argument." Korin sighed, as the two started arguing.
"Ohayo, Korin." Tenchi called out from behind.
"Oh, ohayo, Ten." Korin greeted, "Eh? Where did you get that mark?" gesturing to the red handprint of his cheek.
"It's a long story…" Tenchi sighed.
"O-Ohayo…" Chrome greeted shyly behind Tenchi.
"Oh, ohayo, Chrome." Korin greeted.
Chrome and Tenchi didn't changed much either, except the fact that they are living together with Mukuro. Tenchi grew at the same height as Korin, with the similar features. Chrome too has grown into a fine woman; her hair is still the similar pineapple look and her body is average but her overall cuteness overrules them, still as shy as ever besides to Tsuna and Korin, and her female friends.
"Chrome, where's Mukuro?" Tsuna asked.
"Mukuro-sama said he wouldn't be going to school today."
"Oh, and Hibari stated that he would be going to Kokuyo Land this morning." Nerio stated.
'They're going to fight!' Tsuna and Korin cried.
"Oh yeah, the rest of the Shimon all got a cold so Adelheid is staying behind to look after them." Tenchi added.
The school bell rang, "Oops, there's the bell." Korin said, "Come on, let's go!"

"Man, still can't believe we all are in the same class again for three years straight!" Yamamoto laughed.
"Of course!" Gokudera stated, "I am Juudaime's right-hand man! So it's only natural that we are together!"
"Sure sure." Korin sighed as he took his seat, "but for Chrome to be in here is amazing. Isn't she a year younger than us?"
"She is pretty smart after all." Tenchi complimented, Chrome blushing happily for the compliment.
"Ohayo, Mikuri-chan!" Kyoko greeted.
"Ohayo, Kyoko-chan!" Mikuri greeted back.
The two together and you get a wave of the cute girl aura, both too beautiful that most of the guys all fainted with bloody noses.
"Perverts." Korin mumbled angrily.
"Ohayo, Ko-kun~" A girl of their age hugged Korin from the side.
"O-Ohayo, Saki-san."
"I told you to call me Saki-chan~"
"S-Saki-chan…"
"Today's the first day for the First-Years." Saki tells him, "You better give a great performance later, Ace (insert heart)."
"I'll do my best."
Mikuri seating behind him just pouted at the girl angrily.
"Okay, everyone please take your seats, homeroom is about to begin." The teacher stated as she walked in.
Xxx Later, the end of the day
"Ah~ It's finally over~" Korin sighed as he rubbed his poor shoulder, his wooden sword in his bag on his back, "Man those freshmen are really excited." He then noticed Mikuri standing by the school gates. "Oh, Mikuri." Korin called out, the girl turned around to meet him.
"Korin."
"Are you waiting for me?" Korin asked.
"Of course." She said with a smile, "We always walked back together, right?"
They went on their way, walking down the streets, "How was kendo-club?" She asked.
"Okay, I guess." He said, "The freshmen really are into the kendo spirit." He looked up at the orange sky, "It's so peaceful… But why do I get the feeling that something amazing is about to happen…?"
"Maybe it's your Hyper Intuition." Mikuri stated, "Probably."
"Probably?"
Xxx Korin's apartment xxx
"Tadaima." Korin called out as he and Mikuri walked into the room.
"Okaeri." Cosma called out, "Oh, Yan-san, you have a letter from Ray."
"Ero-Ray?" Korin walked over to the coffee table and picked up the envelope. He opened it and read the letter written in it:
Yo, Korin,
How you've been? Fine, I can assume, considering that you have gain some reputation within the past three years. Man I've never thought
you got this far! I'm glad that you are the Vongolia Sky Knight. Once Iemitsu's son became the tenth, you really got to start working, so be
prepared! I've heard about your father. Sorry I didn't tell you but it was a promise between teacher and student so I can't tell you no matter
what. But let me assure you that Karin is still alive. She has sent me some letters telling me she is fine so don't worry about it. I can't tell you
where she is, though.
Well, enough of that. I have a new mission for you. The Ninth has received a request from an old friend that wants the Vongolia's help to protect
a certain someone, her granddaughter to be exact. You and Tsunayoshi will be enrolled into the Mahora Academy to act as bodyguards. The details
will be given when you reached there. You'll be leaving the next day. Don't worry about the formal wear. I took care of that.
By the way, this is a partner mission for you and Tsunayoshi, nothing more.
Ray Johnstan
"Mahora?" Korin wondered, "Could it be that bushy-browed headmaster?"
"Did I hear Mahora?" Mikuri stated, "Did my grandfather asked for help?"
"I think he did, considering what was written here." Korin said, "But looks like only I and Tsuna are asked in."
"Eh?-! Why?-!" Mikuri cried, "I want to come too!"
"Sorry." Korin apologised.
Mikuri just pout angrily at the wall, before sighing, "Okay, but I want you to make sure Konoka is safe all right?"
"Okay."
"And don't do any funny business!"
"I won't!"
Xxx The next day xxx
Korin has packed his clothes along with his weapon. Rin-Ko sat on the bed looking at his master moving his clothes into a luggage bag. "Yosh, that's about it. Rin-Ko." Korin called out as the wolf leaped onto the teen's arm, before it glowed and changed into a bracelet chained ring, his Vongolia Gear. He pocketed it and lifted the luggage, "Time to meet with Tsuna."
Korin lifted his luggage over his head like it was paper and leaped off the corridor and over roofs of the houses.
Meanwhile, Tsuna was packing his stuff as well. He has received the message through Reborn, and he was forced to accept since his luggage and all the formalities are set. He is right now outside his house waiting for his 'partner in crime' to arrive.
"Yo, Tsuna!" Korin shouted as he lands right next to him, his luggage on his shoulder.
"Korin!" Tsuna cried, "You too?"
"Pretty much. It's an order from my sensei so I don't have a choice."
"Yosh, you guys all here?" Reborn said, appearing on the wall.
"Did you say anything to Hayato-san?" Korin asked.
"I did, but…"
"Juudaime!-!-!"
"Speak of the devil." Korin turned to find Gokudera running towards Tsuna at top speed.
"Juudaime! Why did you take crazy tattoo with you but not your own right-hand man?-!" Gokudera cried.
"Not my choice." Tsuna stated, "Reborn stated that the boss and Sky Knight have to be together at all times!"
"That sounds kind of wrong." Korin paled, "B-Besides, its Ero-Ray's order too!"
"I don't care!" Gokudera declared, "I'm going with Juudaime regardless!"
"Can you handle undercover missions?" Korin asked.
"Eh?"
"You would reveal our identities within the first day!" Korin added.
"T-That true, but…"
"Also, the girls will be all over you!" Korin concluded, "The place we're going is an all-girls school!"
The bomber flinched; the truth of his words sinks in before he grumbled "Fine."
"Okay, we'll be going now." Tsuna stated, "Take care of yourself; Gokudera-kun."
"I will, Juudaime!" Gokudera shouted.
Korin and Tsuna boarded the train and left on their way to a new adventure.
