Hey everyone ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Ehh…I'm a little bit late...by a day I think. But I will continue to try my best to update a chapter within a week. Thank you everyone that favorited my story! (Though there weren't that many T-T) Slightly disappointed about the review but it's only the first couple chapters so I'm sure I'll get more reviews…right guys?

ALRIGHTTT! Time to work hard to get more reviews! *fistpump* ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

EDIT : peheheh...i noticed i used the wrong name sometimes so i went and fixed it all. Just a reminder. Her name is Shiroyuki TSUkiko...my pen name is Kiyomizu YUkiko. My friend often tells me this is slightly confusing ';

"We've arrived at your destination," the taxi driver said, "5000 yen is your total."

"HEIIIIII!" Tsuna screamed, "What do we do Reborn! I don't have that much money left! I knew taking the taxi was a bad idea."

"Don't worry Dame-Tsuna. I figured you would be like this." Reborn stated. "Sorry Tsukiko, can you pay?"

"EHHH! Reborn! How is she going to afford that?" Tsuna interrupted.

At that time Tsukiko handed a card to the taxi driver to swipe while turning to Tsuna and said, "Don't worry Tsuna, I'm actually pretty rich! All those jobs I did as a freelancer pay quite a bit."

Tsuna sweatdropped. After paying the asked price they all got out of the taxi, standing in front of Yamamoto's sushi restaurant. Tsukiko gleefully walked in, bumping into a tall, handsome man. The impact caused her to slightly stumble back and she was about to fall until he reached out to grab her. She's kind of cute.

"A-ah, thank you. That was a close one." She said.

"No problem!" he answered with a gri. "Ah, Tsuna! Yo! The kid's here to!"

"Hey Yamamoto." Reborn replied. "Meet Shiroyuki Tsukiko, the snow guardian."

"Hmm, you're playing the Mafia game to huh!" the baseball player grinned.

"Ah ya…" she said. He's got a cute face. "Nice to meet you, uh…?"

"Yamamoto Takeshi," He smiled, "the rain guardian."

She replied with a grin of her own, "Nice to meet you, Yamamoto"

Our main protagonist that was quite silent for some time spoke up. "Uh, lets go in now guys."

With that they all walked in the store. Shortly after sitting down at the table they heard a loud voice.

"JUUDIAME! YOU'RE RIGHT HAND MAN HAS ARRIVED!"

Tsukiko leaned towards Reborn asking, "Who's that?"

"Storm guardian, Gokudera Hayato. You may have heard of him." He replied.

She raised her eyebrows, "Smoking Bomb Hayato? Heh…" Standing up, she walked toward Gokudera who was currently praising Tsuna. She stuck her hand out, "Nice to meet you, I'm the new guardian, Shiroyuki Tsukiko!"

Gokudera glanced skeptically at her hand, and then rudely ignored it completely. Instead her turned to Tsuna asking, "10th, who is this girl?"

Tsukiko got angry, ready to punch him until Tsuna saw her and interrupted. "Ah, Gokudera, this is Tsukiko-chan. She's the new snow guardian."

Looking at her, once again skeptically, he retorted, "Snow? There's no such thing 10th. Why you bitch! You're tricking the 10th aren't you? Don't worry 10th, I'll take care of her immediately!"

He stood up with his dynamites lit, ready to throw. Tsuna and Yamamoto were about to interfere, fearing the safety of the small girl. Before they could though, they felt a cold breeze that instantly took out the flames. Gokudera was surprised, staring at his dynamite in disbelief. Just then the cold breeze came again, being emitted from Tsukiko. They all looked at her in surprise. It was obvious she was pissed.

She glared at Gokudera who flinched. "I'll have you know I'm here at the 9th's request. You call yourself a right hand man but would one really try to detonate a dynamite in a close area that could possibly come down and hurt your boss? Learn to have some sensibility and some manners while you're at it."

Then she walked back to her seat next to Reborn, leaving the three boys astonished. They all glanced at each other, all thinking the same thing. She's scary.

Reborn, who was watching the whole thing in amusement, spoke up. "It's been a while since I've seen you that angry, Tsukiko." He was clearly amused. Then he directed his words toward the guys, "Though Gokudera, you're the one at fault. We should be grateful that someone as strong as her agreed to join us."

"Hmph," Gokudera stubbornly refused to back down, "We don't need a girl. 10th is obviously stronger. And I, as his right hand man will protect him!"

Tsukiko silently sat at her seat eating. Way to be sexist.. I am so not gonna get along with that jerk.

Yamamoto who was sitting to the left of Tsukiko apologetically chuckled. "Sorry Tsuki-chan. Gokudera may be rude at times but he's a good guy."

Huh,ya right. But she softened at the look on his face. "Ah, well it's ok. I don't blame if for not knowing about my flame. Though since you've been involved with the Mafia for a while you should have heard of the name, Snow Princess."

Gokudera flinched at the mention of 'Snow Princess' muttering "Where have I heard that before?"

"I'm sure you have Gokudera." Reborn said. "Never to have failed a mission assigned to her, her name brings fear across the Mafia world. Said to don a white and red mask, she's the infamous Snow Princess."

Gokudera's eyes widened as he stared at Tsukiko, "Y-you're the Snow Princess?"

She reached into her bag and pulled out the mentioned mask. It was white with red markings painted onto it. It covered her whole face except the mouth and below so she could talk easily. Placing it on her face she turned to Gokudera with a smirk on her face, "Bingo."

Then she took it off, inserting it back into her bag. A slight smile danced on her lips as she recalled how she got it.

*FLASHBACK*

"Hey Tsu-chan! Here! I got this for you. Isn't it neat!" a young man spoke, running towards her only to trip.

"Geez. What are you doing?" She said as she lent a hand to help. She stumbled though and fell next to him. They both exploded in laughter and she groaned, "I swear I got this clumsiness from you. I wasn't this clumsy before."

"Hahaha. You know what they say. Like teacher, like student!"

"No, they don't say that."

"Fine, fine. Hey but look at this!" He said as they both sat up. He handed the mask and watched as she looked over it.

"What's this for?"

"Present! Use it well!" Dino said cheerily.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

While closing her bag she wondered. Where is that blond haired idiot anyways? Probably falling on his face somewhere. She chuckled as she heard a voice call from behind.

"Tsu-chan? Is that you?"

She groaned. Speak of the devil. She turned around to face her old teacher, Dino.

"Bucking Bronco," Gokudera muttered.

"Dino-san!" Tsuna exclaimed. "You were in Japan? How do you know Tsukiko-chan?"

"Hahaha, I heard Tsu-chan came here so I came to see her! She was my student."

Tsukiko raised her eyebrows, "I'm pretty sure the only thing I learned from you was to be clumsy."

"Aw, don't be like that. After all, I am the one that gave you that mask~." Dino said.

"Eh! Dino-san you gave that to Tsukiko-chan?" Tsuna asked.

"Yep! You call her Tsukiko-chan? That's weird. She normally hates it when people shorten her name or add 'chan'. Which is why of course I do it," He said grinning.

"Eh? Really?" Tsuna said facing Tsukiko.

"Its fine," she said, "You are my boss after all. Call me what you want."

"Oh..ok then" he answered.

"Where are your subordinates? You're going to fall" Tsukiko said to Dino.

"Says the clumsy one who can't focus unless she's fighting," He retorted.

"At least I'm not clumsy when I fight. You're useless when you don't have your men with you." She responded.

"Don't be so mean" Dino said.

"It's in my nature~"

"Not in your blood" he said smiling.

She glared at him. Geez, as much as I like Dino in a brotherly way, it's a little annoying that he knows so much about me.

"Anyways…Reborn, where are all the other guardians? We're all long done eating." Tsukiko asked steering away from the topic.

"Well, as you know Yamamoto and Gokudera are the rain and storm guardians respectively," Reborn stated as she nodded. "Sun, is Sasagawa Ryohei. He has a boxing competition right now so he can't come. He's your age so you're going to be put in the same class."

He then was interrupted by Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto who all exclaimed, "Ehh! You're a year older than us? But you're-"

"Yes?" she interrupted, glaring at them defensively. "Short? What about it?"

"Nothing…" they all replied simultaneously.

Clearing his throat, Reborn started to speak again, "Thunder, is Lambo, a little cow brat," She looked at him unbelievingly as he continued, "Mist is Rokudo Mukuro but he's possessing a girl, Chrome Dokuro."

"Ya, I heard about that," She replied. Chrome...Mukuro? Dokuro…Rokudo? Isn't that...an anagram? *sweatdrop*

"And cloud, is Hibari Kyoya. He's the most influential person in Namimori. He's the head of the Disciplinary Committee at Namimori Middle School where you will be attending."

"Eh?" she said surprised. "Kyoya?"

"You know Hibari-san, Tsukiko-chan?" Tsuna asked.

"Heh..I didn't know you knew Kyoya!" Dino said.

"Ahahah. Yep~ We're childhood friends I guess you could say." She said cheerfully.

Reborn stood up from his seat. "Well if you guys are all done eating, let's head over to Tsuna's house."

They all agreed and got up to leave.

"I have to go now guys. I got some things to take care of," Dino said.

"Ah. Bye, Dino-nii!" Tsukiko said to her past teacher going up to hug him.

As they embraced Dino whispered in her ear, "Careful, Tsu-chan. You're illusion powers aren't the strongest. Don't get revealed."

"I won't. Don't worry." She whispered back. Then ending the embrace, she stepped back waving bye to him as he left the shop.

This whole silent conversation between them was unseen by all of them except Reborn who narrowed his eyes. They were obviously talking about something secret. But what? And why does Tsukiko remind me so much of…her? I better do some research later.

They all left the store, chatting while heading toward Tsuna's house.

And that's a wrap!

Thx for reading :D

"The secret"? My fail way of a 'sort of in a way, but not really' cliffie. :P

Meh, I introduced more characters to her in this story. Just in case some of you guys think this…Dino and Tsukiko are like siblings. No relationship.

Reviews and people adding my story to their favorites hypes me up! It gives me a lot of motivation since it shows me some people are reading my story. So to anyone that does thank you so much :D

Her and Hibari will be more focused on next chapter! Please continue reading and check for more updates! R&R :3
