Title: Puzzles of Life
Fandom: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Summary: I was reborn and into the world of my favorite anime, cliche isn't it? I don't care of falling in love, I just wanted friends. That's why my life goal in my new world was to have a bunch of contacts rather than the sad comparison of two I had in my past life. They were strange, but I'm not one to talk. I remember my past life after all.
Pairings: Oc-centric-ish
Genre: Friendship, Romance, Humor?
Rating: T for teens

Hiya! Welcome to my new story! I read so many SI/Oc stories with reincarnation or being transported in that I wanted to try one myself. I also read so many awesome stories centered around Vongola X (10) it was so cool. I love the story called Their Boss by . It's an awesome fan fic, so if you guys like AU and the 10th Vongola Generation, it might be a good Fan fiction to read.
Anyway, I have so many ideas for KHR and I finally decided to do a SI/Oc one. This one however from all my other stories will be in First Point of View. So as a warning, there will probably be large rambles from this Oc. Some of these ideas are not fake because it happens to me in real life.

Note: There will be only one main Oc in this story, which will be the SI/Oc. I don't know about other Oc's but they will most likely be just students of Namimori, teachers or friends of the oc etc.. Also, this story may be a bit Au-ish since it won't follow the story exactly,and there may be some different ages like making Lambo and I-pin a bit older but still younger than the main canon. Also, in future chapters, the Arcobaleno will be in it too because I just love Fon, Skull, Reborn and everyone else.

Comments of any kind is accepted, thank you very much.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the Oc Everything belongs to Amano Akira and their rightful owners.

P.S: I was listening to Katekyo Hitman Character songs and also vocaloid songs such as kakurenbo and autoscopy so feel free to listen to them when reading this fan fic.

"Move aside Tsuna! You don't want to get bitten to death my Kyoya do you?" I shouted towards the brunette boy and literally jumped on him to push him down from on certain skylark's attack.

"Do you want to be bitten to death too, Herbivore?'

"HIEEE!?" Tsuna screeched and his large eyes widened if that was even possible. "Hotaru-chan! What are you doing here?"

I sighed and gripped Tsuna's hand in mine. I glanced at him real quick and saw him blush furiously. I smiled, "Trying to save you from getting injured." I glanced to the side and watched Hibari pause a few feet from me. I'm sure he didn't want to bite me to death, that was probably why he stopped attacking.

"Oi! Woman, get your hands away from Juudaime!"

"Maa,maa. Gokudera, you should calm down. Hotaru just saved Tsuna from Hibari."

"Che...This is a time you're right, baseball freak."

I shook my head as I see two of my friends arguing. What a interesting day it was. First of all, I know that my so called friends are actually characters from an anime. And that there was no way for me to actually interact with them. The strange thing was I called thee Hibari Kyoya by his first name. Now, these facts may be too much to take in at first, so shall I start from the beginning before all of these things happening?

It was a normal night. You know, the silent wind and the chirping crickets. The sky was rid of any clouds and the stars sparkled, it was beautiful. Most of the lights were off since most people would be by bed. I on the other hand wasn't one of those people who were sleeping. Instead, I was gluing my eyes on my laptop screen sitting by my desk.

I was trying desperately to finish reading this one fan fiction I luckily found by chance. I was always one who placed my hobbies before everything else. Even sleep. Now, I was feeling a bit tired, but I really wanted to finish reading. It was getting so good that my mind was racing for my eyes to hurry up and scan through the words. Despite my eyes now having a small burning sensation, I closed my eyes for a few seconds, squeezing it tightly before I opened them again to see the bright light of my laptop screen. My endurance was giving away so when I finally gave up, I slammed my laptop shut and hopped off to bed. It wasn't really that late, but I always slept a bit early to wake up early so it was pretty late in my dictionary. I glanced at the clock, 11:00. Most people I knew would probably be still on their computer playing online games or whatever. Heck, I knew a classmate who was on until 2:00 o'clock in the morning.

People find me rather strange, well, I think. Not that I look weird or anything, I was Asian and had the normal brown hair and eyes. I was just one of those quiet people, the ones that stay in the corner of the room and crosses their fingers that no one notices them or that no one picks on them to answer a question or present. Well, it's probably because I'm just awkward with people. I get so nervous my hands turns all sweaty. Just like when I'm watching a horror movie or going on a roller coaster.

My life is typically average. There's nothing exciting or depressing enough to talk about. I don't have mean parents, ones that are rich or ones that are overly nice. They are just normal. My parents can be strange at times. They work all the time and always make up for it by giving some money so I can use it on whatever I want which is usually on a new manga or some new anime doll. I would never spend my money on cosplay though. Even if I loved the clothes and how cool it looks like if I can pretend to be a anime character, the clothes were way to expensive and by the time I buy all my favorite characters, I'll probably be broke and be in debt.

I laughed at my thoughts. I was worried about money, which made me seem older than I am right? I am not that old, I am actually in my final year of high school and I don't think I have any close friends. Sure I may talk to them, and say good morning but we never hang out or anything.f

I shut my eyes and allowed my brain to wonder on the test I'll be getting back the next morning.

When morning came around the corner, I groggily opened my eyes and rubbed them furiously with my hands. I picked up my phone and checked the time. It was still 6:30, but I smiled widely when I see the wallpaper on my phone, Katekyo Hitman Reborn. It was seriously my all time favorite anime so far. I remembered the first time I decided to watch episode one and I did not fall in love with it instantly like some people describe their first experience with their favorite anime. Instead, I stopped around the tenth episode and didn't watch it again until a year after. When I did, it finally hit me as the anime moved away from the boring Daily Arc and went to the Kyouko Arc. Every Arc after the daily one was way better and I kept watching it until I finished all the episodes. Then I moved to the manga and cried to myself when it was over. It took about a week to get the anime out of my head, but then I found a remedy, fan fiction. That's how it leads me to now, absorbing every fan fiction I could get my hands on.

I refreshed myself in the bathroom and walked down the stairs quietly to grab some breakfast. My parents were still fast asleep so I poured myself a glass of milk and made some toast for myself. I smeared some jam and ate it by stuffing it in my mouth in a hurry. I was too lazy to cook, and I didn't have the best skills to do so. Let's just say that last time I decided to cook, I learned how to flambe(1) and I was told to never touch anything on the shelves again.

Glancing at the clock hung on the wall of my living room, I smiled noticing how slow time was going. It was only 7:10 so far, and school started around 8:00 so I at least half an hour to laze around. I flung towards my coach and hugged a pillow on my stomach. Taking my phone out, I read some other funny comics and laughed silently to myself until my phone was snatched away from my hands.

My mom was standing there with a hand on her hip, "Naomi, sweetie,get up and let's go."

I groaned knowing I had to go to school early.

The ride to school was silent and when I saw the familiar black gates, I mumbled a goodbye to my mom and left the car with sweaty hands. I glanced around to see other students greeting their friends happily and that made my stomach churn. "Ugh, I hope this day is quick." I power walked to my first class and glanced at the empty hallway. I was probably too early, even if it was just only ten minutes. I opened the door and hurried to my seat that was in the back of the room. On the first day of school, I was seated in the front and near the door. But the class changed seats every semester and I chose to sit in the back. I was completely fine with it, I rather be alone than make a complete full out of myself.

I thought of Hibari Kyoya, I agree with his thinking of no crowding since I hate crowds too, but probably not the biting to death part. I don't like violence.

I slipped a piece of paper on my desk and took out my favorite pencil and started to doodle. I could hear one of my classmates shouting out loud in the class and then greet the teacher casually as if nothing happen. That girl was Jane, she was a popular girl who was always cheerful whenever I saw her. She had perfectly tanned skin from being on the school's swimming team and had long black hair and brown eyes. She talked casually to the teachers as if they were her friends and always had a group of people around her.

I never talked to Jane no matter how nice she seemed. Maybe it was the way I looked at others or something, but she glanced at me, she just looked away.

The first thing I did when I went home was go straight to my room and work on my homework. I took out my i pod, plugged in my favorite pair of earplugs and listened to some songs. They were mostly background music, shocking, I know. Usually, one would think, hey, this girl likes anime so shouldn't she listen to Japanese songs or something? Wrong. I liked calm music because it always helped me relax, and they were strangely catchy in a way.

Then came the shouting of my dad. He barged into my room and I literally jumped, I was too surprised. One moment I'm listening to music and bam, next thing I know my dad's in the room with a frown. "I called you for a while now Naomi." He said.

I just hung my head low and popped my ear plugs out. "Sorry, dad." I say with a large frown. Then I furrowed my eye brows and glanced at him, making sure I made minimal eye contact. "What did you need?" After I said that, I kind of regretted it afterwards. My dad dropped a long list of groceries in my hand and gave me small pouch full of dollar bills. He told me that as a 'young' adult, I needed to socialize more. There was also the fact that we were running low on food. I begrudgingly placed one shoe on my foot and walked out the doors of my comfortable home. The market was busy, tons of people were there.

I had a lot of bags. They wrapped around my arm as I tried to use my small muscles to bring them to my house. I knew I should have taken the car, but my parents were at work so that was a no.

Just like when I read one of those reincarnation fan fictions, I mused to myself as I walked, A girl or guy or whatever would be doing something and then killed and then get reborn. Either they would be like perfectly beautiful, awkward, fall in love or even be the strongest. That kinda sounds like Mary Sue's don't they?

I heard shouting and I frantically looked around. I usually heard these type of shouts around the neighborhood because there were these gangs, but this time there was a angry voice of a woman. One minute later, she was screaming for help. Maybe this was one of those times I called a life threatening situation, but I ran with all my might to the voice. I was a few feet away and I saw a couple of guys surrounding this one girl. I did the only thing right, I called 911 just in case and dropped all my bags. I needed to help this girl survive. When I got closer, I couldn't believe who I saw, it was Jane! Then I got mixed feelings on whether or not I should help her. She never talked to me, she was nice to everyone...I thought for a second before shaking my head, No, that's wrong. I didn't reach out. She probably just feel awkward around me or something along those lines.

I decided to help her and threw myself into the circle of people. After flailing my arms randomly, I winced when I came in contact with something hard. Probably a face or something. There was another shout, it was somewhere close, but it sounded hallow due to the shouting that was around me. I could feel my ears ringing, but shook it off. There was something sticking out of a guy's hand, dark and sleek. It was a weapon I only ever saw in animes. A gun. Shoot! I thought what I said was ironic, and pushed Jane away. I felt pain eating it's way through my stomach and I saw Jane's crying face for a split second. I couldn't see very clearly, but my ears were still able to hear what she said next. 'Stupid girl, why would you save me?' and the last thing I saw was her smirk ridden face.

My life flashed before my eyes. One of those things I read about when people died. I remembered what Jane said and slapped myself on my forehead. What did I deserve to receive that comment? I just saved her with my life. But then I realized something I terribly forgotten. Maybe because too many things were happening, but I finally remembered everything. My life was a lie.

My parents fought all the time. My mom wished I was never born and my dad thinks I'm just a nuisance I probably forgot after reading so many fan fiction that my brain just decided to make some fake memories. Jane was the girl who bullied me, I cooked my own food, I was almost like a errand girl for my parents too. I never had one friend because people thought I was depressed and they didn't want to be a victim of bully either. My life sucked in general.

I was floating, I could tell from how my body swayed back and forth. There was snap and then my world changed. No more black like a endless abyss. I was surrounded my many head lights and there were so many people talking. For some reason, I knew I was reborn to a new world. I crossed my fingers hopping that they weren't like my old parents, and that I could start a new life completely from scratch. Oh how wrong I was.

As a baby, I could only be in someone's arm and do nothing on my own. It was strange to be a baby because I rarely remembered anything from I was little, but now, with the brain of a teen in the body of a baby, I became more aware of things around me. My parents weren't as bad as my old ones but they still were. They get pissed over the littlest things, though they hid it well and loved to ignore me. They acted like I wasn't there and it didn't help that I had the most annoying older sister. She was only older than me by a year. Despite her being a baby, she always stole my toys and threw food in my face at the dinner table.

Life was not easy.

I learned a few things though, my name was Nakarui, Hotaru. My sister was named Emiko which meant beautiful, blessed child. While my name instead meant fireflies, I wondered where my parents got their naming sense from. But ignoring the meaning, I liked hearing the name Hotaru, it sounded perfect rather than my old name Naomi. My new mom's name was Danielle while my dad's was Nick. Strange names since they had English names while Emiko and I had Japanese names.

About my appearance, so far I knew nothing really. I never saw my face in a mirror before so I have yet to know whether I am pretty or ugly. I just want an average look I guess. Emiko had rich blonde and large green eyes. She was a beautiful kid. Danielle bore the green eyes and had cascading blonde hair while Nick was a brown haired man with blue eyes. It was a strange combo of colors, but I guess wherever I was, anything could happen.

I was currently a few months old and I was always carried by my old caretaker who I learned was called Mia. My sister was one and started to learn how to walk. I heard my mom, no I rather call her Danielle squeal in joy. She shouted at Nick to bring her the camera to take the footage of Emiko's first step. I on the other hand was in the lap of Mia, playing with toy blocks.

I still wondered where I was. If this really was a new world, would I be in a anime or something? My questions were answered when Mia took me out one faithful day. I was only one years old and pushed by Mia through a baby stroller. We were going on one of our daily trips to the market -it sounds like a deja vu- and I spotted a shop called TakeSushi. My eyes widened, the only shop that was ever called TakeSushi was in Katekyo Hitman Reborn! That would also mean that I was in Namimori. I was so excited, I was actually in my favorite anime! More or less, I could meet the characters. I just hoped I didn't be entangled with the mafia. I made a gurgling sound to Mia as I tugged on her shirt. I was still unable to talk and I would have hated that fact, but I was able to call my sisters names and she would never understand them.

Mia seemed to notice my eagerness to enter a the sushi shop so she entered it. I just loved how she understood me through my strange way of communicating. She and I took a seat and she ordered a few tuna sushis. I frowned slightly when I thought of tuna which led to Tsuna. I wondered if I was older or younger than the canon characters. I really wanted to get to know them. The anime and manga showed their deep bonds and I wanted something like that. I knew in a way that Tsuna would accept me, well maybe. I wouldn't be so sure, but he seemed nice and although he never wanted to be a mafia boss, there was a place in his heart that he knew it was going to happen either way and he was happy.

"Here's our Tuna special!" A cheery voice beamed. I looked up to see a man with spiky hair and a headband tied around his head. He looked so much like the older Yamamoto Takeshi. This must be Tsuyoshi, his father! I giggled in my babish way and he gave me a glance. Our eyes connected and he grinned. "My, what cute girl." He said to Mia who just smiled.

"Yes, she really is. I think she'll grow bright, although she's only 10 months old."

Tsuyoshi chuckled, "She reminds me a little of my son Takeshi. You know, he's probably around the same age as her, although he is already 1 years old." I just smiled and waited for Tsuyoshi to continue to talk. I had hope that he would want me to meet his son or something like that. "Since it's boring to hear adult talking, how about you play with my son?" He asked me as if reading my thoughts.

I squealed in joy and moved my arms. Mia giggled and picked me up from the stroller. She handed me to Tsuyoshi who then brought me to the back room where I saw a small boy with black spiky hair. He was just so cute! Tsuyoshi placed me on a small chair and said to Takeshi, "I thought you would get bored Takeshi, so meet Hotaru." When he left I started to speak, wondering if I could communicate to other toddlers. And I could

"Um, nice to meet you Hotaru-chan. I'm Yamamoto Takeshi."

I couldn't tell if it was because I was a baby, but I could understand what he said completely. "N-Nice to meet you...I'm Nakarui Hotaru.." I stuttered and looked at the ground. The one year old Takeshi just cracked a very large smile.

"Great! So, do you like baseball?" He asked. And that was how I listened to Yamamoto talk about baseball for two hours along with his weird sound effects. I thought, we might really be great friends.

Mia sat by herself wondering what took so long. It was starting to get late and she needed to bring Hotaru back or else she might get in trouble with Danielle and Nick. She stood up and asked Tsuyoshi to show her where the two kids were since it was time to pick up the girl that seemingly acted like a daughter to her. The two adults stopped in track when they saw what was in front of them, both Hotaru and Takeshi were talking to each other in their own baby gibberish. It seemed like Takeshi was doing most of the talking as he waved his hands around randomly.

Mia looked at Tsuyoshi and he looked back, "Kids.." They said while laughing.

1. Flambe is a technique in cooking when they use alcohol and a huge flame appears on the flame
2. I get really confused about baby ages like 16 months. So the oc is 10 months old and Yamamoto will be 1, meaning that he is older since his birthday is April 24, and that will also mean that the oc will be born in around June or July.

So how was it? It's pretty long! Sorry for such a long first chapter, I wanted to let you guys understand more of my oc Naomi. It took be 2-3 days to write this. I hope that the first point of view don't sound so weird. It's my first time writing first point of view after a very long time.
I know everything is different and confusing, but technically, the oc, Naomi lived a lie for one day. In reality, her life wasn't perfect and no one's is. She was just one of those that had a worse life. Yet she seemed to get confused when she mixed her feelings with reality. She would rather be a anti-social person than being bullied or having all the negative attention. She was only awkward with people and others thought of her the wrong way.

I hope that clears it up. This idea was completely made up by me with other bits of my experiences, and I hope I didn't offend anyone with this. If I did, it is purely coincidental, and I apologize.

So the first character so far is Yamamoto! I know it's weird for a baby to want to eat sushi but Hotaru is special and Mia is like her mom! Hope you guys look forward to more characters being introduced :)

Please, comment/follow/favorite, and enjoy reading. I accept any type of comment, including flames. Also, if you guys like only one oc, I'll tell you guys before hand that Hotaru will definitely be the most IMPORTANT oc since it's going to be centered off her. Well, have a great day everyone.
