Greetings people of the internet! I have come with another story for you! I'm still going to work on my other story, but I thought I might as well post this because if I don't, I'll end up going back and rewriting it again. And, I have too many story ideas for my own good. Like, besides this one and Champions, I have... 7 other stories that need to be written at some point in the future... So yeah.

ON WITH THE STORY!

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR, I only own Sachi and any other OC that may pop up randomly for the story's plot.


I remember.

I remember laughing, playing, learning.

I remember friends, family, and strangers.

I remember life.

I remember death coming too soon.

I remember soul crashing regret.

I remember the nothingness, darkness, and loneliness.

I remember my first breath of air, my first step, my first word.

I remember when my whole life changed.

I remember the day I found out I was in Reborn.


A little blonde watched from another room as her grandpa touched her brother's forehead with a flaming finger. Seconds later her brother was asleep and being carried back into the house by their father.

Something flashed in her brown eyes as she watched them disappear up the stairs. She looked one last time at her grandpa before following the two up the stairs, a frown on her face. She had work to do.


The six year old watch the other children play with a ball and a bat from the shade under a tree. Her lips twitched up into a small smile when one of the boys hit the ball and sent it flying. She watched the ball arc through the air and head towards a small brunette. Her smile turned into a grimace when instead of catching the play, the brunette was hit in the face.

She pouted when the other children either started laughing or yelling complaints at the brunette. When the game was over, the brunette look around and she waved to get his attention. When he saw her, he quickly ran over, a smile on his face even if he looked a little dishearten. The blonde smiled widely though, and took his hand to lead him away to buy him a Popsicle.

Popsicles always makes things better.

She looked over her shoulder and waved goodbye to the other children. A few of them saw and waved back, one of them rather cheerfully. A warm smile pulled at her lips as she turned back around. Now, for those popsicles…


The blonde curse quite colorfully when yet again she failed to complete a cartwheel. She picked herself up from the ground and sat glaring at nothing. With a frustrated sigh, she got up to try again. She could do it before, she can do it now, and it would only take some practice to be able to do it again.

With a determined glint in her eye, she started again, only to get the same result. She tried again and again, until the sun had turned the sky orange when she finally did her first real cartwheel in that body. She jumped in the air and whooped before doing it again and again, the big goofy grin on her face never leaving and her peals of gleeful laughter never ceasing.


She stared, and the skylark glared back. The seconds ticked by and the bystanders whispered nervously. The blonde blinked, breaking the spell that had fallen over them and held out her untouched Popsicle to the boy in front of her. "Popsicle?"

The skylark turned his glare between the Popsicle and her for a moment as the whispering around them increased in volume until he set his glare on them. The whispers promptly stopped. He looked back at the blonde, who was looking at him expectantly, still offering the Popsicle, and had a sound of indifference before turning on his heel and storming off.

The blonde watched him go with a raised brow while everyone else looked after the skylark in shock. She looked between the Popsicle in her hand and the retreating skylark before shrugging. "I tried," she said and started eating her Popsicle as she returned to her oblivious mother and terrified brother's side.


The blonde ran cross the top of the walls that lined the streets of her town. A wide grin on her lips as she launched herself over the gate of someone's house, never breaking her stride. A gap in the wall up ahead singled an intersection and a determined glint entered her expression. Speeding up, she launched herself over that gap as well with a flip and stuck the landing. As she ran along and lot out a gleefully laugh, she heard a shout from behind her.

"EXTREME!"

Her smile turned into a frown as she tried to make sense of the shout but she didn't dare look back to see who shouted. The last thing she needed was to run off the wall. That would hurt, like, a lot.


"Tsuna, wake up already, we're going to be late for school at this rate," the blonde of the Sawada twins said as she pounded on the door to her brother's room. When the only sound that greeted her was the sound of continued snoring, she sighed tiredly and frowned at the door. After a small debate if she should do it or not, the blonde shrugged and proceeded to kick the door open. It hit the wall with a loud crashed and bounced back slightly as she held her position for a second.

The blonde lowered her foot and leaned against the door fame with her arms crossed and a raised eyebrow. Slowly, she reached over and held her hand up against the wall, which she softly tapped against. Instantly, the prone figure of Tsuna sat up in bed and started pushing away the sheets in a half-asleep daze.

"I'm up, I'm up…" he said drowsily before he stopped to yawn widely. The blonde in the door way gave him an incredible look and her raised eyebrow went even higher.

"Really, Tsuna? I knock on your door for ten minutes, kick open said door, and you wake up to me tapping on the wall? Really?" she said with a raised eyebrow as she watched him stubble around his room.

"Shut up, Sachi…" He mumbled as he moved around his room looking for his uniform. Sachi gave her brother an unimpressed look before sighing and pushing herself away from the door fame.

"Well, hurry up, you'll be late at this rate," she said as she left the room with a wave over her shoulder at the clock.

"Huh?" Tsuna said as he blinked sleep out of his eyes and turned towards the clock. At the foot of the stairs, Sachi heard the all too familiar "HEEEEIIIIII!" coming from her brother's room. A crash was heard before the sound of running feet come for the upper floor of the house.

"Mom! I'm heading out!" Sachi called over her shoulder as she pulled on her shoes and slung her bag over her shoulders.

"Ok, honey! Have a good day at school!" she yelled back, briefly sticking her head out of the kitchen to give an overly sunny smile at her daughter. The blonde smiled back and gave a small wave before turning one last time to the stairs.

"Tsuna! I'm going ahead! Don't be late!" she yelled up the stairs and was rewarded with the sight of her brother falling down the stair to land in a heap. A muffled moan came from the downed figure of her brother, and Sachi shook her head.

She went out the front door and let it close behind her and she skipped down the steps and onto the road. Turning on a dime, she headed in the direction of her school, walking at an easy pace because she was in no rush to get to school. Like, who rushed to get to school besides the people that are in danger of being late? That's right, no one, and Sachi's happy with her pace as is.

Not even ten steps away, she caught sight of something that made her trip on thin air.

Reborn.

Easily catching herself before she face planted into the concrete, she continued walking facing forward, not letting anything show that she knew what was happening. She only chanced looking back when she heard the famous "Ciaossu" from behind her and saw her mother in their open front door. A silly lopsided grin made its way onto her lips and her eyes flashed with an unknown emotion.

She faced forward and continued on her way to school. "Ah… so it begins, huh?" she said to the sky. After a few moments of watching the clouds float by, she sighed and returned her gaze back to earth. The number of times she's run into something while looking up… will remain unsaid.


She was brought out of her musings of the future when she heard a gunshot behind her. She jumped at the sound instinctively and turned around so fast she almost gave herself whiplash. Looking around with wide eyes in a panic, she barely registered hearing a voice yell "REBORN! I'LL CONFESS TO SASAGAWA KYOKO WITH MY DYING WILL!" before a blur—a very familiar blur—ran passed at speed that were barely human.

Sachi blinked as she watched the dust cloud fade into the distance.

Wait, was that Tsuna in his underwear? And WHY WAS HIS HAIR ON FIRE!?

She blinked again. A groan escaped her as she pinched the bridge of her nose. She had almost forgotten how ridiculous some of the things in Tsuna's life had been—will be—may be—you know what? Never mind.

"Ciaossu."

"GAH!"

Sachi whipped around and leveled the fedora wearing baby with a glare.

"Don't do that!" she said as she placed a hand over her heart, trying in vain to slow its hectic beating with stead beats. The baby—hitman, her mind helpfully added, which she promptly told to shut up—had the audacity to look innocent.

"You're Sawada Sachi, right?" he said as he easily jumped onto her shoulder.

"Yeah, so?"

Suddenly she heard the cocking of a gun way too close to her ear. She felt herself pale and her eyes widened.

"Run."

"Yes sir."

She tore off after her brother at neck breaking speeds like her life depended on it, which she knew it did.


"I'm gonna kill him."

"Please, Sachi." Tsuna cried as he walked beside her to their class. He had just finished putting his uniform back on after the two of them had run inside to escape from one demon perfect who loved 'biting people to death'.

(Personally, Tsuna thought that he was terrifying, but somehow Sachi found the whole thing hilarious.)

Sachi leveled her brother with a glare and raised an eyebrow. He sighed at her expression and tried to speak reason to her.

"You can't just go around killing people," he said with a sigh.

"Yes I can," she said in matter-of-fact tone, making Tsuna look at her in disbelief. She held up a finger as she said, "It wouldn't be very wise and not to mention bad for my health, but I could technically run around killing people like a maniac." Tsuna stared at his sister for a moment before face palming. He had almost forgotten her weird way of looking at things for a second.

Sachi shrugged, it was true. She technically could, the question lays in whether she would or not.

They reached the class room and were suddenly assaulted with reminders of what had happened early. Sachi easily brushed off their jeers and pulled a furiously blushing Tsuna behind her. Making a beeline for their desks, her desk was right behind his, she unceremoniously dropped her books onto her desk and set down heavily. Tsuna slide into his seat much more gracefully, but nevertheless sank down and looked like he wished he had the ability to phase through his seat and out of sight.

Sachi leaned forward and said in a low voice, "So, are you going to do it?"

Tsuna turned around in his seat and gave her an incredible look. "Do what?"

She rolled her eyes, her eyes clearly saying 'what else would I be talking about' when she replied, "Fight Mochida."

Tsuna shook his head so fast in denial that she was almost afraid that it would fall off. "No, no, no! I can't fight him! I'd just lose and end up making a bigger fool of myself! No! I'm running away!" he said in a hushed undertone and didn't miss the disappointed look in his sister's brown eyes.

She stayed silent for a few minutes, during which the teacher finally walked in and started homeroom. A tap on his shoulder make him glance behind him. He looked back and met his sister's eyes.

"Run away now and you'll be running for the rest of your life. Mochida may be stronger than you, you may be pushed down, but it doesn't matter how many times you fall, the only thing that matters is how many times you get back up. Also, Kyoko would be more impressed if you showed and fought instead of running away." she said softly so that the teacher couldn't hear her.

She sat back at that and started taking out her note book and pencil. Tsuna turned back around with a frown. No matter what she said, it wouldn't be enough to convince him to go. Then from behind him he heard his sister say something barely audible.

"I believe in you."

God damn it.


Sachi was grinning widely as the two of them walked into the gym after school. She veered off to side to get a good seat to watch. Yes, her brother was about to get his ass handed to him on a silver platter and yes, she's not going to try and stop it. Come on, she was the one to convinced him to come, she won't have done that just to stop him now.

A small grin was still on her face even as she eyed their sempai coldly as he explained the rules of his 'challenge'. She scoffed at that. This? A challenge? Then pry tell why Kyoko was the prize, Mochida-sempai.

Mochida started the challenge without even giving Tsuna a chance to decline and started his attack. Thinking quickly, she grabbed a bamboo sword from the nearest kendo club member and throw it at Tsuna.

"TSUNA! GUARD!" Sachi yelled as the sword flew through the air. He managed to catch the sword and bring it up in what could somewhat be called a guard in time to catch Mochida's attack. They traded blows for a minute, but even a blind man could see that Tsuna was losing, badly.

BANG!

Thank God for babies with sniper rifles!

The blonde was just as shocked as everyone else when Tsuna smashed right through Mochida's sword and managed to pull a fist full of his hair out. By the time Tsuna presented the referee with all of Mochida's hair (rendering him bald), she was holding her stomach bent over because she was laughing so hard.

"Brilliant, Tsuna! Brilliant!" she said in between laughs as she walked up to her twin and clapped him on the back. She looked off after Kyoko, who had just thanked him for defending her and apologies for that morning.

She smiled sadly at the sight. "Sorry that that didn't work out, bro, but you still got time. She's still single." Her pep talk was rewarded with a shove which she laughed off as she handed him another spare uniform (curtesy of Reborn). She'll have to start carrying them around with her everywhere at this rate.


The two of them where sitting in Tsuna's room while Reborn explained in detail why he was there. The short and simple version of events was that he was there to tortu—tutor the two of them into being leads of the great and powerful Vongola family. Tsuna was to be the Decimo while Sachi was to be one of his top advisers.

"Does that mean I'll get the same type of training as Tsuna?" she asked hesitantly after she had raised her hand. She held a half-eaten Popsicle in one hand (because she can, damn it) which she occasionally sucked on.

"Correct." Was the answer.

I thought so, Sachi thought as she cried in her mind but said evenly, "Oh, ok."

Reborn studied her for a moment and she suddenly remember that he could 'read minds' or something. Well, 'an't that just dandy? The demon can read my mind.

Her thoughts were rewarded with a mallet to the head. She cursed under her breath and she clutched her aching head and Leon turned back into a chameleon before climbing back up to his spot on Reborn's hat.

Tsuna just looked confused and a little shocked that his sister got hit with a mallet.

Sachi glared at the hitman, who had the nerve to look innocent, from behind her bangs. She huffed in annoyance when the hitman didn't give a reaction and angrily returned to her Popsicle.

"You start your training in the morning," Reborn and Sachi blinked when she noticed that he was already in his pajamas. When did that happen? As if it was completely normal, the mini hitman climbed into Tsuna's bed and made himself comfortable. Tsuna didn't take nicely to that and was about to wake him up and throw him out of his bed when Sachi grabbed his shoulders.

"What?" he said annoyed that he had been stopped from completing his mission. Sachi simple smiled widely and pointed to his feet.

"Booby traps," she said cheerfully.

"HIIIIIEEEEEE! DON'T PUT BOOBY TRAPS IN PEOPLES ROOM!" Tsuna yelled at Reborn who was already asleep, with his eyes open.

Sachi whistled. "Damn, that's impressive."

"Don't complement him!" Tsuna snapped, put off that his bed had been stolen.

Sachi rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand to lead him out of the room. "Come on, you can crash in my room tonight." She said and ignored his halfhearted complaints.


Was it good? Bad? Mah? I'm still new at this, so any help for you guys would be greatly excepted.
