Title: So Much for Standards

Hey hey everybody! Da cookie monstaa is here! This is my first fanfic so it's really scary to have people read it. I personally think this fic is rather bizarre, and it kinda got inspired by a daydream. So to make it a good experience, I recommend you imagine yourself as Keriko here.

I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn at all! Enjoy!

"Argh! This is seriously getting on my nerves!" I stared at the numbers on my worksheet, grabbing my hair and pulling it, extremely frustrated. It was almost 12 midnight and I was still stuck on the same question I had started on 30 minutes ago.

I was still trying to mentally equate some numbers when…"Ah, it seems you are doing well, Hibari Keriko-san." A voice suddenly said.

I froze, Dad and Mom were out on their anniversary date, Nii-chan was only supposed to be back from Italy at 1.30am, and Lisa and Kiro were sleeping over at Gran's and Gramp's place. Why on earth would I hear a voice behind me?!

"W-who are you?" I said, not daring to look around.

"My name is Reborn, and I have come to get you." The voice squeaked eerily.

I turned around swiftly just to stare into two big black eyes.

"Aaaahhh!" I screamed, scrambling backwards. "
W-Who the heck are you? What are you doing in my house? How did you get in? W-Wha-…" I trailed off, realizing that the creepy person (or ghost…) was in fact a tiny kid, looking not more than the age of 5.

"I came in through the window, Baka-Keri." Said Reborn indifferently.

My jaw dropped and my mood swung, just as I was about to angrily take the kid and fling him out of the window, a tonfas blocked my way.

"N-Nii-chan?" I said shocked, turning to look at him. There was my bro, standing there as if nothing was wrong. "You were supposed to come back at 1.30! Why didn't you tell me?" I said, now flinging my energy at him, whacking his shoulder hard.

"I told mom and dad. They called you but it seemed like your phone was switched off." Oh… right… I slapped my forehead. Of course, my phone was being charged and I had not switched it on. Damn my forgetful self.

Nii-chan just smirked at my reaction and turned to Reborn, "akambo, you have come to tell her about the tutoring?" Reborn nodded and Nii-chan left to his own room.

"So, what is this situation really about?" I asked, after I had calmed down.

"Well, you do know that you're brother is part of a mafia family right?" he asked first, before sipping some tea from the cup I gave him.

"What?!" I exclaimed, half choking on my tea. I looked at Reborn wide-eyed.

"Reborn! You did not have to be so straightforward!" a random voice shouted from the door. I turned to see who was there and my eyes fell on a short teenager with spiky brown hair. His eyes like a baby's. The boy stalked up to Reborn and said, "Please let me do the explaining." He looked really tired and frustrated. Reborn did not respond when suddenly a sleep bubble appeared from his nose. Inflating and deflating steadily. "He fell asleep!" The boy and I exclaimed together.

"Jyuudaime! Are you alright! You should not go into people's houses by yourselves! Especially Hibari's! Although I'd pound him to pulp before he even reaches you!" a taller boy with collar-length silver hair barged in, holding lighted dynamites.

"Maa maa, Gokudera. Tsuna can handle himself." A super tall boy with short spiky black hair sauntered in, a baseball bat hung behind his back.

" WOW! This house is cool TO THE EXTREME!" a guy with short silver hair and a tape across his nose shouted, barging into the house, hands in a boxing stance.

What. The. Heck. I sat there looking at the four, mouth slightly ajar, absolutely dumbfounded.

" Hey, if you guys keep crowding here and don't scram soon, I'll bite you to death." Said Nii-chan, suddenly appearing at the middle of the stairs, tonfas at the ready.

"Hiiiiieee! It's Hibari-san!" The boy who I assumed to be Tsuna squealed. The one supposedly Gokudera stood protectively in front of him, eyeing Nii-chan carefully.

"Pfft." I said, my hand covering my mouth smiling, before bursting out into laughter. "Ahahahahahaha! I'll bite you to death? What kind of catchphrase is that Nii-chan? Never heard you say that before! It's so cute! Ahahaha I can't stop laughing!"

The four boys that just came in stared at me in disbelief. Seems they finally realized I was even there. "What?" I said stopping abruptly, scowling at them.

"Did-Did you just laugh at Hibari-san?" Tsuna asked fearfully.

"Y-Yabe…" The tall boy stuttered. (I still 'don't know' his name yet!)

"This is bad to the extreme.." the boxer dude sweatdropped.

-_-" " well yeah... Why not?" I asked, directing my answer and question to Tsuna. I looked at Nii-chan. He looked really tired and grumpy. I sighed and stood up, poured some tea into a cup and brought it to Nii-chan. "here, go back up to your room and sleep." Nii-chan stared at it for some time before taking it and walking back up.

The group was watching my every move. I whipped around and glared at the boys before stalking up to them and pushing them all into the living room.

"Sit" I ordered. They all sat down obediently. "heyy… not bad…" I smirked to myself and sat down as well, cross-legged. They stared. "What?" I said, looking at myself. "Oh. I wasn't brought up here in Japan. Sorry. I'm too tired to change my position. Can I just sit like this?" I asked nonchalantly. They just nodded. "You may now introduce yourselves. Starting from you." I said cheerfully, pointing at Tsuna, my attitude taking a 180 turn.

"I-I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, also known as dame Tsuna. 14 years old. I'm not good at everything. Especially math..." said Tsuna, looking defeated.

"I feel you bro.. I failed math last year. Got pounded by Nii-chan." I said sympathetically, letting my mood drop at the last sentence. Tsuna looked up at me delighted that someone understands him. (eye shine time)

"Gokudera Hayato. 15 years old. The super smart right hand man of Jyuudaime." Gokudera said smugly.

"I love your hair! I've always wanted to bleach my hair that colour! :P" I said, twirling my own curly boycut hair. A small tinge of pink ghosted over Gokudera's face at the compliment.

"Yo! I'm Yamamoto Takeshi! I love baseball and suck at math too!" he said grinning, holding his hand up with the intention to high five me. "Awright!" I said, slapping his hand hard, grinning as well. I thought I heard gokudera mutter something like "baseball idiot."

"I'm Sasagawa Ryohei to the extreme! I love extreme stuff and boxing to the EXTREEEME!" He shouted.

"Alright, alright! I get it! Nii-chan's still here in this house you know!" I shout whispered. Ryohei abruptly stopped and muttered that keeping quiet sucked to the extreme. "Ok my turn, I'm Hibari Keriko. 14 years old. Sister of the oh so terrible Hibari Kyoya. Loves food. Nummy~ Now we're done, tell me your reason of arrival."

"The reason we're here today is to request you to teach Tsuna math." Said Reborn who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

I blinked at him. "EHHH?! But I'm terrible at math!" I exclaimed, shaking my head furiously.

"Exactly, that means you're on the same wavelength as him. That way, when you teach him, you'll learn at the same time." Said Reborn.

"But why not Nii-chan? He's smart." I asked Tsuna. "Too scary!" "Gokudera?" "Kinda scary and demanding." He whispered so Gokudera wouldn't hear. "Reborn?" "He bombs you for a wrong answer!" "How did you even know me in the first place?" I asked.

"I asked Hibari if he knew anyone of this standard. So he told me." Reborn answered sarcastically.

"Nii-chan that traitor! Fine! Be that way! I'll prove myself not to be some dumb person!" I huffed.

Tsuna's eyes glimmered with hope and I knew there was no turning back.

I sighed in defeat and looked at the wall clock: 1.30am. " By the way, you guys wanna sleep here tonight? I mean, this is at the edge of namimori town." The guys looked at me weirdly but being very fatigued, they thus ignored the fact that this was a house with Nii-chan in it, and nodded.

I led them up to my room to take extra futons and clothes. "Believe it or not, Nii-chan sometimes has his old elementary school friends come over for a stay so I must make sure there are spare clothes, undergarments and all, just in case." I said, tossing them each a pack of clothes.

*in all their minds they picture disciplinary committee people guarding Hibari while he sleeps*

After showing them the toilet to wash up, I went down to the living room to set up the futons.

Nobody'sPOV

"Ne, she's totally not what I'd expected from Hibari's sister! She's so different and much more pleasant!" Yamamoto said when they were waiting for Tsuna to finish showering.

"Yeah! I know right! She's so weird to the extreme! I like her! :D" Ryohei scream-whispered so Keriko wouldn't hear.

"Che, but she's related to Hibari so she is a threat to Jyuudaime." Gokudera snapped.

" She's nice and understands how I feel about math!" Tsuna said excitedly, coming out of the bathroom.

(A/N: this part is kinda 'overflattering' since it's just compliments but I hope it doesn't bother you guys xD)

After all had finished washing up, they happily went back down to the living room. Just as they stepped into the room, ready to fall into the soft futons and sleep, they saw Keriko, fast asleep, between two of the futons marked ''Yamamoto's" and ''Gokudera's".

"uhhh… now what?" yamamoto said giving an awkward smile.

Uhh… so yeah! please review and tell me how you think about it it's probably gonna update reeeaally slowly if I continue though.. sorry! ^^"
