I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn (KHR).

Quick Note: I'm extremely honored and surprised at the following that this story has received, with just a single chapter! I can only hope that this next chapter merits such a following. I've had this idea floating around my head for a while, and I've even written a rough, unpublished, version. However, I much prefer this version. I wasn't planning to write another chapter this soon... but I was inspired by all of you. Thank you, once again, to my wonderful followers, and to Sweetchoco-chan, who inspired me to pick up a keyboard and write again. I also wish to thank my husband for supporting me and for taking the time to read my first chapter.


Chapter 2: Homecoming & Investigation


The hospital and doctors had finally released Sawada Tsunayoshi and Nana.

Nana took stock of what the address was on the insurance card that the doctor had shown her, after they had given her Sawada Nana's purse and clothing to change into.

She frowned at the address it listed. It was unlike anything that she remembered. Being logical, she requested that the hospital call her a Taxi… After she had made sure that she had money in her new purse. Of course, when she saw the strange coins and bills… Well, she had to be strong for the little boy that was attached to her. She didn't know why, but she felt that if she didn't act like everything was all right… that the hospital, or someone else, might take the little boy away. Something told her that that would be a disaster and that she and Tsuna would regret it.

"Mama?"

"Yes, Tsu-kun?" she replied gently as she lifted the four year old up onto her hip.

"Why we taking bad car?" Tsu-kun asked as he saw the Taxi waiting for them at the curb.

She frowned, "Is it the same one, Tsu-kun?"

Tsu-kun pursed his lips together in concentration, as he stared harshly at the Taxi. After a minute of deliberation, he turned his gaze back to her, "No Mama. Differ numbers an words."

"Well, we're taking the Taxi because Mama doesn't want either of us to get lost on the way home. Also, not all cars are bad. Just some people that drive them," she responded gently.

"Sawada-san!" One of the nurses that had been helping her doctor, earlier, had raced down the hallway to catch them before they could leave.

"Yes?" she asked, clutching Tsuna a little tighter to her body.

"We forgot to inform you that Hibari-san has caught the driver and his accomplice that ran you over. They were gaijin. I believe that they had Italian food… or something of the like. I didn't quite catch everything, as we had another patient in need of assistance, but they have been caught and Hibari-san has taken care of them."

Hibari? That name rang a strange bell in her head. So did Sawada, Tsuna, Tsu-kun… Italian… Quickly composing her face to that of relief, Nana smiled gratefully at the young nurse, "Thank you for letting us know. We appreciate your kindness, Nurse…?"

"Sasagawa. Sasagawa Haruhi."

"Thank you again, Nurse Sasagawa-san," Nana gave a slight bow of her head.

"Thank you, Nurse Sasagawa-san," Tsu-kun repeated and copied his Mama's slight bow.

"You're welcome, Sawada-san."


It was not a quick jaunt from the hospital to the house, but thankfully, Tsuna was easily lulled to sleep by the movement of the vehicle.

Nana pondered over everything that had happened to her since she had woken up in the hospital. The names, the strange money, the hospital, her supposed accident… Something didn't make sense. She frowned, unable to put the pieces together, but somehow knowing that they did belong together and that she should know the answer.

Just as she focused on the hospital, again, the Taxi stopped at a curb. Looking out the window, it appeared to be the address on her insurance card. Tsuna woke up, luckily, and helped her pay their driver and find the correct key to get into their gated home.

It was a cute little house. It had a small grassy area, but it didn't quite feel like a home to her. Something was off. Sighing, she locked the gate behind them, and quickly got herself and Tsuna into the house. Locking the house door behind her, and then removing Tsuna's shoes, and her own.

"We're home Mama!" Tsu-kun smiled happily at her.

"We are. Tsu-kun, would you like to help Mama remember things?"

"Yay! Mama play with Tsu-kun!" Tsu-kun smiled.

"Yes, we'll play help Mama remember," she smiled hopefully at the excited little boy. "Now, Tsu-kun, do we have any pictures?"

"Yes Mama!" Tsu-kun grabbed her hand and dragged her into the living room, "That's Mama and Tsu-kun. Mama said that Mama's family. Mama said they in heaven. Mama said that man is Mama's hub-band. She said he work far-way. That Tsu-kun and Mama. That Tsu-kun. This fun game, Mama!"

"Thank you for playing with Mama, Tsu-kun," she praised. Then, she heard a tummy rumble, "Tsu-kun, are you hungry?"

"Yes Mama. Tsu-kun's tummy just made lion sounds! Roar!" Tsu-kun smiled.

"If Tsu-kun shows Mama where the kitchen is, Mama will make something for us to eat," she smiled as Tsuna immediately grabbed her larger hand and tugged her towards what must be the kitchen.

Quickly, she poked around the kitchen with Tsuna, and was able to find everything she needed to make a quick omelet. In short order, both Tsuna and Nana were eating their fill of: eggs, daikon radish, tomato, cheese, onion, and spinach.


After quickly cleaning up the dishes from their meal, Tsuna pulled his Mama upstairs to the bathroom.

She awkwardly helped him use the toilet, and then wash his hands. Then, he wanted a bath. After locating the linen closet and Tsuna's room (which had a picture of a fish on it), she assisted him with a short, but fun little bath with a few little toy robots.

Once he was all dry and changed into his nightclothes, together they located the master suite. From what she could see, only one side of the bed was slept on. There were no male knickknacks or items to be seen. She was, basically, a single mom. She placed Tsuna on the large bed and tucked him in what she guessed to be her bed.

"Mama?" Tsuna mumbled sleepily.

"I'll be right back, Tsu-kun. You can sleep with Mama in Mama's bed, tonight," she ran her hands through his hair and gently kissed his forehead.

"Okay, Mama. Night. Love you."

"I love you too, my Tsuna," she smiled as he quickly drifted off into slumber. She quietly pulled open drawers and cabinets, closets, and found another door. It had a desk, chair, and what looked like bills on it. She sat down and became familiar with what had been the Sawada finances.

Too much money was coming in from what she had to assume was her *husband* who was far away. Whatever job this *husband* had, it was suspicious. When she found a box of postcards…

"Sawada Iemitsu…" she frowned. Then, she looked at the postcard, again. She noticed it was posted in Italy. Then she looked at what the address was… "Namimori, Japan."

Namimori, Japan. Tsuna. Iemitsu. Nana. Sawada. Hibari. Sasagawa. Italy…

A curse silently passed her lips, "Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I'm stuck in Sawada Nana's body. This can't end well."
