Summary: It finally dawned to Nana's innocent mind that it is already time for her daughter to learn how to protect herself and stop acting like a dame person with a condition.

Dame, No more...

Prologue

Setsuna Sawada, age 8, the only daughter of Iemitsu and Nana Sawada, was a dame dame dame dame (repeated countless times) girl. She is no good in everything that she does. She doesn't have any special talents to boast of, no friends and her love life is completely non-existent. Her father is always away from home due to his work and the only company that she has is her cheerful, kind and beautiful mother.

She has long brown hair that was completely tamed at the top and reached her waist. Her bangs were covering her eyes. She always wore long clothes which you can't see any of her flesh and skin. All in all, she really lacked some sexual appeal.

Setsuna, also known as Sena or Tsuna to other people and Tsu-chan to her parents, was always bullied by the people around her. Her relatives, classmates, neighbours, kids younger and older than her, the friends of her classmates and the relatives of her relatives would always bully her given the time and chance.

Every time she came home, she was always filled with mud and bruises. There were also some tear-tracks left on her cheeks. Nana would always see her daughter's pitiful state. It was always like that until Nana couldn't take it any longer. She had finally decided to take things in her hand.

One day, during weekends, Sena was in her room completely coped up to herself. She was lying in her bed, facing the wall, completely bored. She was waiting for that day to end. A knock on her door had brought her to her senses.

"Mom?" Sena asked as she sat up on her bed.

"Tsu-chan~ May I come in?" Nana answered from outside with her normal, cheery tone.

"Yes, mom..." Sena replied as she set her feet on the ground.

Nana entered the room and closed the door gently. She faced her daughter with a serious look on her face. She was no longer smiling and her eyes had somehow become sharp instead of those round ones. She was emitting some dangerous aura which would make anyone cower in fear.

Sena took a big gulp as she stared at her mother's eyes. It was as if like she became a different person. "Is this person really mom?"

"Tsu-chan..." Nana said in a stern voice.

"Y-Yes... M-mom?" Sena stuttered at her mother's voice.

"You are always getting bullied outside of this house, correct?" Nana clarified.

"U-um... T-That's..." Sena looked away from her mother's eyes. She couldn't take the pressure given by Nana.

"Don't you dare lie to me, Tsu-chan... I know everything that is happening to you outside of this house." (Nana)

"Y-Yes, Mom! But don't worry... I-It's alright... I'm u-u-used t-t-to i-i-it... a-a-anyway..." (Sena)

"No, it is not alright... As your mother, it is not alright for me to see you get hurt always."

Sena remained silent at her mother's remark. Nana sighed and sat beside her daughter. She took her hand and held it. Sena stared at her mother with a confused look.

Nana smiled at her daughter sweetly and said. "It is already time for you to learn how to fight for your own safety. I and your father won't always be by your side to protect you. I will teach you on how to fight against your enemies and protect yourself."

Sena's eyes grew as wide as the saucers. "HHHIIIEEE...! YOU?! MOM?! B-B-BUT... H-H-HOW?"

Nana smirked and her eyes grew sharper. "I haven't told you and your father but I am working as a secret agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We deal with a wide range of crimes, from kidnapping to drug trafficking. We are even tracking down people who belong in the mafia community and sometimes deal with them. I am under the Japanese Branch so don't worry."

"E-E-E-E-EEEHHH...?!" Sena screamed in shock.

She couldn't possibly believe that her mother has some dark secret under her sleeve.

Nana stood and smiled again to her daughter. "I haven't told your Dad about this, okay? Keep it a secret to him. This is a secret between you and I, mother and daughter."

Sena nodded slowly for she can't find any words to say at that moment.

"I will teach you everything from using a gun up to some martial arts but promise me that you would only use these skills if needed, understand, Tsu-chan?" Nana said seriously.

Sena gave her mother a look of determination. She had decided that even though she is no good in everything that she does and she has no special talents to boast of. She made a decision to learn what her mother is offering her now.

"Yes, mom... I promise..." Sena nodded in agreement.

Nana perked up as she remembered something. "One more thing... Even if you learned all that I will teach you. You must maintain your dame-facade... Your dad must not know all of this, understand?"

"I understand... Mother..." Sena replied as she followed her mother outside of her room and began her special training.

Meanwhile, in Italy, Vongola Nono who was known as Timoteo Vongola lost his three biological sons due to the conflict on the inheritance of the boss position. His adopted son, namely Xanxus was no help either.

Xanxus found out that he was just an adopted child of Vongola Nono. Due to his anger and feeling of betrayal against his father, he tried to kill Timoteo and created a rebellion together with the Varia but he failed. Timoteo froze Xanxus with the use of his Zero Point Breakthrough: First Edition. Xanxus' body was left under the Vongola Headquarters with a tight security just in case someone tried to release Xanxus from his seal.

That event was later known as the Cradle Affair.

Inside Timoteo's Office, he massaged the bridge of his nose. He had lost all of his successors. He would have lost all hope when he remembered the young girl whom he met in Japan. The girl has some hidden great powers. It was almost the same with Vongola Primo. He remembered that the girl was named Setsuna Sawada. She happens to be Iemitsu's daughter. He called onto Iemitsu to come in his office.

"Iemitsu, I think that you are already aware that I have lost all of my sons." Timoteo said while facing the window in his office.

"Yes, Nono..." Iemitsu replied while standing in front of the man's desk.

Timoteo turned around to face Iemitsu. "I may have lost my sons but not my successor. There is still one left and she is my only hope."

Iemitsu tilted his head in wonder. "Who?"

"Your daughter..." (Timoteo)

Iemitsu's eyes widen in surprise. "But she is still too young to succeed you and lead the Vongola... She is still eight years old."

"I know... That is why; I will wait until she reached the age of sixteen before I let her know about this. I hope you'll accept this Iemitsu. I can feel it when I met her when she was still younger... She has the Vongola blood inside her. There is no doubt that she is Vongola Primo's descendant." Timoteo said after sitting on the chair behind his desk.

Iemitsu wasn't sure about it at first but he decided to accept it. "I understand... Boss... But we will wait until she reached the age of sixteen."

Timoteo nodded and decided to dismiss Iemitsu. Once left alone in his room, he released a deep sigh. He can't believe that after all the sons that he had; only a girl would succeed him. Honestly, he didn't want to make Sena as his successor because she was too nice and innocent but none of his sons were worthy to become the Vongola Tenth. He didn't like the idea but whether he liked it or not, he will be forced to have Sena as the Vongola Decimo, in other words... The Tenth Mafia Boss of the Vongola Famiglia...

In the Cavallone Mansion, the greatest hitman in the world, who was known as a man expert in seducing the ladies whether old and young and killing countless lives, was training the tenth boss of the Cavallone Family namely Dino. The hitman's name was no other than Reborn.

People were drawn to him due to his looks, strengths and charisma. Men feared him while women fell on their knees just to get his love and affection. He is one of the seven strongest known as the Arcobaleno. It was a group of strong people that were feared in the mafia community.

He was wearing a black suit with a matching black fedora. His curly sideburns were one of his greatest assets which made the female population swoon under him.

The said adult was busy watching the hellish training of his student. He swore that he will bring out the boss inside the kid.

Dino was busy whipping a huge brown bear that were threatening to rip his intestines if he got careless.

While watching his student's progress, Reborn increased the level of his training. Dino finds him cruel and sadistic but it was all paying.

Reborn received a call from Timoteo which he took quickly. It was a future mission for him.

"What? You want me to train the tenth boss of the Vongola Family?" Reborn talked over his phone.

"Yes... But that is eight years from now. Once the girl reached sixteen and you are done training the tenth boss of the Cavallone Family, then you are hereby ordered to go to Japan specifically in Namimori to train the Vongola Decimo." Timoteo said at the other end of the line.

Reborn agreed at the Ninth's order. After cutting the call, he released a deep sigh. He finished his session with Dino quickly and began investigating about Sena.

"Setsuna Sawada, age 8, Japanese, lives in Namimori... Special Talent: None... Rate in Academic and Non-Academic performances: Perfect Zero... Description: A No-Good who is called as Dame-Tsuna by the people who were bullying her... adult and kids alike... even by dogs..."

Reborn threw the papers on his bed and massaged his forehead. He was already in his room after his investigation on Setsuna's identity. Just reading the description of the tenth boss of Vongola almost gave him a headache.

"THAT girl is the next boss of Vongola?! And here I thought Dino is the worst upcoming boss..." Reborn said to himself.

Reborn decided to take some shower to relieve his self with some stress. He promised to find a beautiful and voluptuous woman to entertain him that night.

Eight years after, Reborn finally arrived in Naminori, Japan. His time with Dino had finally ended. It was now time for him to train the next boss of Vongola. He went directly to Iemitsu's house after receiving his directions from Iemitsu.

The one who greeted him was Nana. He introduced himself as a tutor sent by Iemitsu from Italy to help Sena with her studies.

Nana brightened up and let Reborn in her house. She called on to Sena from the bottom of the stairs. She resumed looking at Reborn to ask him something.

"By the way... How much are we going to pay you for your services?" Nana asked Reborn while holding her right cheek.

Reborn tilted his fedora and smirked. "There is no need, Maman... As long as you give me a place to stay and free food, then everything is free..."

Nana clapped both of her hands in pure delight. "Oh! Then you are free to stay here anytime you want... Just feel free at home..."

A minute passed and Sena didn't appear yet. Nana decided to call her again.

"Tsu-chan! We have a visitor here! He is your new tutor! Come down and greet him!"

Nana looked at Reborn and smiled warmly at him. "Please wait for her... She'll come down in a moment. I'll go to the kitchen first and make some feast for all of us."

Once Nana disappeared inside the kitchen, Reborn felt a deadly aura at the top of the stairs. He looked up to see a brunette looking down at him.

Sena was wearing a long-sleeved white blouse that has some ruffles, long black skirts, white stockings and black shoes. Her once waist-length hair reached only her mid-back now. Reborn was reminded of a younger Nana when he saw Sena.

He had seen a picture of Nana's younger self once when Iemitsu got drunk and boasted his lovely and caring wife to the entire Vongola Family. The difference was that Sena's hair has a lighter shade.

Sena glared down at Reborn whom she found suspicious from the very beginning. "A Tutor... Huh...?"

Reborn tilted his fedora and smirked. It seems like he had made an error about his investigation of her eight years ago. "This person before me is the Vongola Decimo? Interesting... I wonder what happened to her this past eight years for her to change this much?"

Author's Notes: Yeah... I know that I shouldn't be writing a new story because I have three ongoing stories but this idea is stuck in my head which gave me a writer's block and prevents me from updating my other stories so I'll write this down to get rid of this in my system.

I have a feeling that this story is not good enough... So there is a huge possibility that I might delete this but it all depends. Just tell me what you guys think, if I'm convinced enough I might not delete it but just as I've said... It all depends...

If any of you tries to flame this story like you're gonna tell me something with the lines "horrible story", "you suck as a writer" and etc... Better DEFEND your words alright...? or else I'll just ignore you. I'll still accept it but I'll ignore your existence.

Criticisms are welcome and highly appreciated as well whether it is sugar-coated or blunt ones but please do it with grace and respect.

Do enjoy reading everyone! ^_^
