dreamgirl: Okay, so I've had this awesome plot bunny harassing me for more than a month and I finally embraced it and posted this first chapter! I had my friend help me expand on this idea, so thanks a million Michael!

warning: Obscene language and violence. That's basically it for this chapter. Though, the rating will go up later on.

disclaimer: I do NOT own Katekyo Hitman Reborn! I wish I did, but I don't. Akira Amano does. Though, I DO own Gianna. She is my lovely character. ^_^

ENJOY!


Chapter 1

"Remember what you have to do, if you don't fulfill your end of the contract—"

"Yeah, I know! I won't fail you. This is something I have to do, so I won't screw it up."

"Good. Now, let's go over the details one more time. First, you're going to…"


It was another regular morning in Namimori. The birds chirped, the children laughed, and Reborn was still kicking Tsuna's ass to get up for school.

"Wake up, No-Good Tsuna!" Reborn shouted as he kicked the Vongola Tenth in the stomach with his little foot.

The teen boy woke up with a yelp, "Itai! Did you really have to do that, Reborn?"

"Of course, if I didn't, you'd still be sleeping and you'd miss school." The infant simply put.

"I would've gotten up! I have enough time anyway." Tsuna said without a care.

"Who told you that? There's only ten minutes before school starts." The arcobaleno said taking out a clock to show his student the time.

"Ehhhhh? Why didn't you wake me up sooner? Now I'm going to be late!" Tsuna rushed out of bed and didn't even bother taking a shower before taking off his pajamas and putting on his uniform.

"That's your responsibility. Not mine."

The teen paused to look at his tutor, "Are you serious?"

Reborn changed Leon into a gun and threatened to shoot Tsuna if he was late to school. He didn't need telling twice, the brown-haired boy was running down the stairs before Reborn even finished his sentence.

On his way out, Tsuna's mom called out to him, "Oh, Tsu-kun, before you go I have to tell you—"

"Sorry mom, I gotta go, I'll be late! Bye!" The Decimo waved as he ran out the door and towards his middle school.


Tsuna arrived at the school seconds before it started and had enough time to get to homeroom. As soon as he was able to sit in his seat, the late bell rang and the teacher walked into the room.

'Just in time,' the Japanese teenager thought.

Of course, like always, Gokudera strolled in a few minutes later and was scolded by the teacher. He shrugged it off and plopped down into his seat. Already not paying attention.

After the teacher gathered his thoughts and calmed down from yelling at the Italian boy, he made an announcement. "Class, today we have an important student joining us. She came all the way from Italy so I hope you help her feel warm and welcome." Tsuna froze at the mention of Italy, the source of all his troubles. The teacher turned towards the door, "You may come in now."

The classroom door slid open and a girl walked in. She stood in front of the class. The girl crossed her arms behind her back and smiled very innocently. "Good Morning, my name is Gianna Russo." She bent down, "It's a pleasure to meet all of you."

Tsuna was surprised. He looked at her and grasped every detail of hers. Gianna had jet-black hair, olive skin and garnet-red eyes. All together, she wasn't a half-bad looking girl. She actually looked…beautiful. Besides his reaction, the other students stared in awe. The boys whistled while the girls hissed in envy. Yamamoto smiled and Gokudera couldn't have been more apathetic.

The teacher spoke up once again, "Now, class, settle down. Since she is new here, I would like to assign a buddy to show her around. Anyone interested?" Again, most of the boys had their hands raised as if they were reaching for the sky. A familiar silver-haired guardian snorted in disbelief. The teacher caught this, "Actually, on second thought, I will choose who will carry out this duty. Hayato Gokudera, you will be Gianna's escort from this day on."

The Italian teen looked up at his, in his opinion, senile teacher with a disgusted look, "What?"

"You heard me, you shall be Ms. Russo's buddy and show her around."

"Tch. Girl's are too much of a hassle. Why don't you have someone else do it?"

The teacher's voice became harsher, "You will do as I say or you will fail this class. Have I made myself clear?"

Gokudera pouted, sighed and folded his arms across his chest. "Whatever."

The teacher proceeded to seat Gianna next to the Storm Guardian's seat and continued the lesson for the day. When the bell rang for lunchtime, everyone scurried out of their seats and went to have lunch wherever they usually did. Of course, Gianna was suddenly surrounded by guys who apparently wanted to "study" with her. Gokudera didn't even bother waiting for her. As he saw the Tenth leave with Yamamoto to go eat lunch at their usual place, he hurried after them. The Italian girl took note of this and excused herself to go follow her "buddy".

"W-wait for me!" Gianna called after Gokudera.

The Vongola guardian looked over his shoulder, "Why should I?"

"Because you're my…my buddy!" The girl shyly said.

"Call my name and maybe." Gokudera snorted, "You do know my name, right?" Gianna stayed quiet. "Then you can find your own way around. I have somewhere to be." He kept walking and finally made it onto the roof. He sat down and began chatting with his boss and a certain jock. Not much longer after that, the door to the roof opened and a worn out Gianna appeared. "What do you want?" Gokudera hissed.

"I…I had to find you. You're my buddy." She said out of breath as if had just ran, which she probably did to catch up with Gokudera's ninja-like skills.

"No, go away. I only serve Juudaime, so I have no obligation to stand by you." Gianna looked like she was about to cry at the Hurricane Bomb's hurtful words.

Tsuna looked sympathetic, "Don't listen to him. You can stay here and eat with us. Come and sit, Gianna."

The Italian girl did as she was told and quietly sat at Gokudera's side. Tsuna served her a rice ball and part of his own bento. The three chatted as usual and Gianna just stayed quiet. Until later she tugged on Gokudera's sleeve and asked, "Um, sorry to interrupt, but what is your name?"

He didn't answer, so the Tenth did it for him. "His name is Hayato Gokudera."

Gianna perked up and smiled, "Nice to meet you, Gokkun!"

Gokudera blushed and raged, "Who said you could call me that? It's Go-ku-de-ra, not 'Gokkun'!"

The tan girl smirked and he swore he saw an evil gleam in her eyes, "Ha-ha, nope! Since you were so mean to me you're Gokkun!"

Yamamoto had to literally hold the Storm Guardian back from attacking the new girl. Besides that, the rest of their lunch period went pretty good. Well, that was before it happened.

First, it started off with a blast that sent all four teens flying across the roof. Second, two moderately built men popped out of no where with weapons in hand and made their way to attack Tsuna. Gokudera and Yamamoto quickly recovered and prepared their weapons to fight the oncoming enemies. It was an even battle, two against two. The Vongola guardians seemed to be winning, but then one of the assassins pulled out a tranquilizer and shot Yamamoto with it. It took effect almost immediately. Within seconds, the Rain guardian was out cold. Gokudera became a bit more panicked but instead of losing his wits, his fighting skills became better as he took on both hit men. Unfortunately, one got him from behind and hilted him with a gun. Tsuna was backed against the fence, pretty much helpless since he had forgotten his Hyper Dying Will Pills that morning and Reborn was no where to be found. Gokudera lied on the ground; immobile because one of the assassins sat on him to make sure he didn't move. He was rendered useless to his boss. He had failed him.

Or so the Storm Guardian thought before a strong wind came about and forced everyone's eyes closed. When they opened them up again, a girl with mussed up hair and a torn uniform appeared in front of Tsuna, shielding him from the attackers.

"Ooh, little girly-girl's going to protect the Vongola boss? How pathetic." One spat.

"What, she's going to scratch us to death?" The other one teased.

The girl kept a determined face on.

'Is that…that girl?' Gokudera thought.

"I won't let you touch him", she said.

'Yep, it is,' the silver-haired teen thought again. 'What the hell is she doing?'

Sooner rather than later, Gianna opened a box with her ring and a pair of indigo fans appeared. That's when Tsuna, as well as Gokudera, realized that she also had black boots on. And not just any regular pair of boots, these had a flame design on them and had heels.

"Dude, did you see that?" The assassin sitting on top of Gokudera said.

"Y-yeah, I did. What the hell was that?"

"Dunno, but this makes everything a whole lot interesting. What do ya say we kick the kid's ass and take the girl back with us? She's exactly my type."

The other laughed, "Only if you let me have a go at her." Both men laughed.

Gianna cringed in disgust, "You fucking disgusting pigs make me sick!"

The assassins gaped in surprise, "That's quite a mouth you got there, girly. I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson."

The ebony-haired girl smirked, "I hope you're ready to have your asses whooped."

"We'll see about that." The man said as he threw himself at Gianna. Flames suddenly emitted from the Italian girl's fans and her boots. She leaped out of the way and disappeared into the sky. "Where'd she go?" The man asked in confusion.

A voice came behind him, "You shouldn't be distracted. That's how people die."

The assassin turned around but she was no longer there. Suddenly, a sound came from far away and quickly closed in on him. By the time he realized it, the object had flown right by his cheek and made a gash. "What the fuck was that?"

"Oh, you like my fans? They're especially made with titanium blades and can easily multiply by the power of the Mist." Gianna partially bragged.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, really. It won't matter since you're going to die, anyway. Any last words?" The red-eyed girl said as she walked closer to the man with a fan in hand.

"Shit, this chick is crazy!" The other hit man said, still seated upon Gokudera.

Gianna turned to look at him, remembering that he was pinning down the Tenth's right-hand man. She flung her fan at the man's chest and it sent him flying off the roof. As soon as she did, the remaining assassin realized that she was unarmed and tried his best to attack her. She could've easily summoned another pair of fans, but she wanted to have her fun. The black-haired girl jumped and twirled in the air before striking down hard onto the man's chest with her, literally, flaming red boots. He was pushed back, hard, against a wall and collapsed.

She was about to finish him off when a voice called out to her, "No, don't!" The Italian girl faced Tsuna, clearly having forgotten about him in the midst of her battle. "Don't kill him!" Gianna didn't ask why, she pretty much knew the answer to that question. So, she did the only thing she could. She backed down.

Gokudera, still having been on the floor due to the severe headache he had, looked up at Gianna. "Who the fuck are you?"
