A/N: Alright, chapter One is here. Still working on the plot, but I hope you enjoy! I tried to make the characters as close as possible but since I haven't really delved into the series that much, the characters may turn out more OOC then I intended. Since it's just starting, there isn't much to tell, except for what the summary basically said. Now both the summary and this chapter don't seem to connect, well, I'm just terrible at making summaries so I'll probably just make an excerpt out of one these chapters to paste into the summary. It might be easier to go from there.

Disclaimer: Don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or the characters, just the OC's that show up and hold to in the plot. I also own the idea for the story.

Warning: Some characters will be gender bended and this is an AU, so it's not going to follow canon in any way, shape, or form.

Chapter 1

Skies that are Bright

Golden rays of light danced around the small pond. The fresh, clean scent of a new day wafted around the standing figures. A young girl played in the small, stone pond as the fish swam from her reach.

"Ah, Tsuna-chan, don't lean in like that," a gentle, almost fatherly voice called as the girl continued to reach further until her balance was lost and she plummeted into the pond with a splash.

The fatherly figure with large, spiky hair that defied gravity ran to her side. By this time, the young girl was crying from the shock of her own actions and the coldness of the water. He lifted her up and put her back on solid ground.

"There, see I told you, you'd fall in. You have to be careful," he sighed watching the helpless girl and not knowing what to do next.

"Giotto-San," a familiar voice called to him. He turned to see his closest friend and companion, G. The chin length, pinkish hair flared in the sunlight as he ran towards the two.

"G, what brings you here?" Giotto asked as his friend placed his hands on his knees to catch his breath.

"It's important news," G said as he handed him a white, flimsy paper. The paper had finely tuned handwriting that reminded him of his late sister.

Giotto opened the paper, carefully pulling at the crease. As his orange, illuminating eyes scanned it, they grew wider until he reached the bottom.

"When did you receive this?" Giotto asked his voice heavy with concern and overbearing emotions.

"It just came. I ran here as quickly as I could," G explained, worry evident in his voice.

"Good, I'll head back now," Giotto stated as he beckoned the house maids over to take care of the young girl.

"Giotto-San, what are you planning to do?" G asked, still worried about his friend. They've known each other a long time, and he knew what would happen when bad news comes around and what Giotto would do.

"There isn't much to do, we'll just keep this between the usual company for now," Giotto stated as the two made their way back to the house.

"Come now, Setsuna-sama, let's get you dried up," one of the two maids said, her light, pale lips curved into a small smile.

"Where are Uncle G and Uncle Giotto going?" The young, doe eyed girl asked. She had light, chocolate brown hair, and big, brown eyes. Her hair, despite being long, still managed to give off a gravity defying style that mimicked her uncle's; she had a fiery tint to her eyes, but were not as prominent as her uncle's either.

"They have work to do, we'll be playing in the center garden later, remember?" the other maid, her long, pearl white hair shimmering in the sun, said.

Setsuna looked down and gave a nod. She barely understood the work the adults around her did, and she barely knew the reason as to why her father wasn't around a lot, but she tried to be a good kid. Trying to learn what was asked of her, and staying quiet when the time called for it.

The two maids picked the young girl and carried her back to the house. They made sure she was dry and had a change of clothes on until the party.

"What are Uncle G and Giotto doing?" she asked, her wide eyes looking up at the two older women. They gave her a soft smile to reassure her.

"It's just grownup things, you mustn't worry about it. Now, let's go find one of the younger companions," the maid with light, violet eyes said as she held the young girls' hand.

"Hmm, but none of them came to play today. That's why Uncle Giotto was playing with me," she said as she looked between the two.

"Right, right; oh! I just remembered that someone new was coming today. He was picked up by…what's his face?" the light haired girl put her finger and thumbs to her chin as she tried to remember the name.

"Daemon-kun wasn't it?" the violet eyed girl asked.

"Ah, right! That's who it was, but I thought Master Giotto was upset with him?" the two continued their conversation, forgetting about the young girl as she wander off alone. She reached the longest hallway in the house and ended up in the foyer where an older boy, maybe two or three years older than herself, stood. He had dark black hair that hugged the sides of his cheeks, and cobalt black eyes that were almost lifeless.

"Ah, Setsuna-sama, are you wandering alone today?" the man that goes by the name, Daemon Spade, asked. He had a bowl cut hair that looked like a melon, and he wore a spandex suit colored purple.

Setsuna started to back away. Despite her knowing this man was a friend of her uncle's, she also understood that he wasn't the kind to keep peace with others. There was something that frightened her about him.

"Setsuna-sama, don't just go wandering off like that," the two maids had finally realized that their charge had disappeared on them and went to find her. They hadn't really expected to bump into one of their bosses guardians.

"Daemon-kun," they bowed in greeting before picking up the young girl.

"Courtney, Alice, it's been quite a while since we last spoke. How have you two been doing?" he asked with a polite tone. They merely turned their heads away and looked at the kid standing next to him.

"Who is this?" the light haired maid, Courtney, asked.

"The boy I told the boss about. This is Hibari Kyouya, the new member of our company," he merely stated, a hint of annoyance hidden in his tone.

"Ah, Kyouya-kun, it's a pleasure to meet you," the maid with violet eyes, Alice, smiled.

The kid just looked past her, nothing showing on his face, almost like he'd had his memory wiped clean.

"Hibari? Isn't that the name?" Courtney asked as she kept her eyes on the older male.

"It doesn't matter, I'm going to say my greetings to the boss, you can take this kid," Daemon pushed the kid forward before leaving the foyer. The two maids glared at the fading back before returning to the two in front of them.

"You're Kyouya-kun right?" Alice asked as she kneeled to his eye level, "you must be confused about the things here, but I will assure you that everything is safe here. You don't have to worry about a thing."

"Setsuna-sama, do you want to say hello?" Courtney asked as she put the girl down. The girl quickly hid behind the young maid's skirt, her small fingers creasing the folds more.

The boy, Hibari Kyouya, watched the small, brunette child cling onto the older women. He could smell the scent of weakness coming off her and he felt irritated as well as disgusted. Everything he'd experienced and it all ended up with him being held prisoner in his enemy's house. Now he had to deal with the weak child of his enemy, and escaping would do him no good.

"K…Kyouya-nii," the small child said after being forced forward to the older boy. This surprised the boy and made him even more annoyed, but he knew he couldn't lose his temper here, if he did, then he'd never get this chance again.

The young heiress continued to struggle to get her words out, but she seemed to get there, "S….Sawada Setsuna," she stammered out before rushing back behind the two maids.

"Sorry about her, she's always nervous around new people," the two maids said trying to calm down the girl. Their efforts weren't working too well, but they managed to keep her from crying.

While the foyer was being held up by the four of them, Daemon made his way to his bosses office. He heard the voices of his boss as well as his right hand man; they were discussing something that he didn't quite understand.

"What are you going to do about this? If another reckless attempt is made, it could literally destroy the business," G stated, his voice ever so weary about the things going on.

"Yes, I know that, but if we do something now it could back fire on us," Giotto argued back. The two seemed to be dead locked into a standstill since neither side would relent.

"Don't make the same mistake as you brother and sister did, it cost them their lives and it could cost you more," G finished his warning before Daemon entered the room. The two heads shot up as they watched their phantom enter in with an air of euphoria.

"Daemon, I trust you listened to what I'd said before," Giotto spared no time in getting to the point. The euphoric air that had once surrounded him came down several notches.

"Yes, I didn't harm him just as I promised, I even took the liberty of bringing him here if you want to check. He's just in the foyer with your niece and her two maids," Daemon stated, not at all pleased with the end results of his latest raid. He had high hopes of disposing anyone that opposed his leaders ideals, but it was all for naught in the end.

"No, no, we've still got a lot of things to discuss. G, have the other's arrived yet?" Giotto asked turning to his companion.

"Ah, yes, they are waiting in the conference room," G explained as he picked up the file they'd be discussing in the meeting.

"Good, Daemon you'll be attending the meeting today," this was said more an order then a request or question, and Daemon didn't dare disobey it.

"Yes sir," he said feeling the authority towering over him.

With a pleased reaction, Giotto beckoned the two to follow him; they walked into a room that was located three doors from his office. Inside the room, it was almost dark and most of the chairs were filled with different kinds of people.

"Ah, there they are," a rather enthusiastic voice said as he stood up.

"Asari, you don't have to stand up, just remain sitting so we can get through this meeting," Giotto explained as G set the files on the table. Each member knew this would be a long meeting before they could be free.

"What is the meeting for anyways?" Lampo asked his usual irritation showing. He twirled his finger through his pale, green hair as a sigh escaped his lips.

"Stupid, show your respect to the boss," G ordered, irritated at the companies laziest member. They all knew this was because his own families' firm just didn't want to deal with him and hoped the head of the Vongola Company would be able to straighten them out. They didn't really expect much from him.

"Stupid?! I'll have you know, I am the next in line for my father's company, I'm just here until then," Lampo stated as he slammed his hands into the table. The sound and shock wave made the table clatter a little.

"Yeah, but your family can't stand you and that's why you ended up here in the first place," G retorted. Steam seemed to pour from both sides and it would take a lot of power to suppress the two's engagement.

"Lampo, G, we're trying to get the meeting going," Giotto sighed at the two's childish antics. The fact that even he didn't want to be there was very evident on his voice. With this authority, both parties shut up and returned to their seats.

"Now, the reason I've called this meeting together is because of the latest activities from all sides of the spectrum. There's been more and more bloodshed corroding the companies, and I know we haven't been any better," Giotto looked towards the two, number one members of his team. They both had issues with following simple orders and justifying their own justices.

"Yes, but if we don't strike first, It'll be your family on the other end," Daemon stated, displeased by how his boss did things. He'd put all his effort into making sure his family and the people he allied with were not harmed, "think about your little niece. Considering that she lost both her parents before she could remember what if you were killed or what if her life was taken?"

Giotto had thought about that before, and that's why he is willing to let the two slides for the most part. They were not harming the civilians, but the recent events have led to him believing that he'd let the two run free for too long. Daemon had almost taken the life a child, and considering any of the younger members of the families being children to them had his head spinning.

"It has worked in our favor for a while, but to continue this will bring no ends to any kind of battle. I have to think about the next generation that will take up this company, do we want to keep them fighting amongst the other companies like this?" Giotto stated as a hand came down on the table.

"That's the problem with you. We've already passed the point where peace can be found. Every company is spending their money on new products and enhancements. Eventually we'll be out powered and will lose every life we've come to know," Daemon exploded with furry. After all the work he's done, he is being treated like trash and being unable to answer back was frustrating him.

"Come, come now. There's no need to get so worked up, we're just trying to come to a better conclusion instead of always fighting," Knuckle answered his exclamation of furry.

Daemon glared at the friendly priest who always spouted things about peace and end fighting, but he knew that the male was just a hypocrite. The dark haired male had been in plenty of fights, and had caused many deaths in his years as a member of the Vongola company man.

"Just calm down, we already know how harsh this world is. With each company vying for the top and each company trying to knock the other's out of the way. That's why we' have to keep ahold of the younger generation and pray that they can find a better solution to this never ending battle for supremacy. That's why I have faith in each and every one of you. As long as we are still the leaders of this group and the smaller groups we run, we'll be able to at least protect each other and our families," Giotto stated, hoping that his words would calm them down. It seemed to work.

"So, then what are we going to do? The report said that more than a thousand lives were lost at the last raid Melon head here had," Lampo pointed with his thumb to the now irritated male.

"Don't call me melan head," Daemon shouted unhappily.

"I've already discussed that with the head of the organizations. It'll pass through within a week," Giotto stated and refrained from saying anymore.

"You're not going to tell us the conclusion? Are you withholding information on us?" Alaude, who hadn't spoken, finally decided it was time to input his opinion. He was usually a free floating male who only helped others that benefited him. Considering he was head of the police organizations, the two's paths usually crossed frequently and he allowed himself to be sucked in until there was no longer a benefit for himself.

"It's for the higher ups to know, Alaude. That is all I'll tell you, but please refrain from anymore instances like this. The higher ups weren't pleased about it at all, and considering how powerful the family was really ticked them off," Giotto sighed before placing the file down, "now, are there any other things that should be said here?"

Giotto looked around and none of them spoke up, "alright, then that's it for today." Giotto picked up his paper work and headed out of the room. G was following closely behind him until they were near his office.

"What are you going to do? Considering how much work is going into it, we only have a short time," G started but was soon cut off with a sad smile elating his bosses face.

"There are times' when it is better to forget, G. Right now, there is only one solution and that has already been decided. You, my friend, know very well and I'd like you to keep this between us two. There's no need to alarm the others or anyone in that matter. The decision is final, and there's no changing it," Giotto explained before turning and entering his office. G remained in the hall, even after the door had been shut.

"He's too young to have to make these kinds of decisions," G sighed before turning to return to his work. He already knew that when his boss had made up his mind, there was no force known to man that could change his mind.

Back in the foyer, the two maids had left the children to get to know each other. It didn't really work out the way they hoped, considering the young miss wouldn't budge and the boy was almost emotionless.

G had come down and noticed the two children, thinking back to what Daemon had said.

"Oi, you two kids shouldn't just stand around in the foyer," G stated, he wasn't very good with kids to begin with and he didn't know how to handle them either.

"Uncle G," Setsuna exclaimed. Despite the cold, harshness of G's tongue, she didn't seem to care about his attitude. He mostly thought this was because she was still a child and didn't know anything different.

"You must be that brat Daemon brought in with him. I'm G and you better not do anything to disrupt this house," G ordered with a gruff voice. It was meant as a warning, but G just couldn't get it across.

Hibari just looked away; he didn't care to listen to anyone, especially his enemies.

"Kyouya-nii," Setsuna looked at him curiously. She had noticed that something was on his mind and he wasn't outwardly showing it, but it was there in plain sight.

"Stop calling me by that," Hibari stated with annoyance. He'd never had siblings, and all he'd ever known about was fighting to protect yourself. His family didn't matter nor did the people sworn to protect him matter. Yet, they still did in the end. Even when the fought hard to keep him safe, they mattered enough for him to want revenge.

Setsuna backed up at his harsh tone. His cobalt colored eyes was cold now, not empty like before. She backed all the way up into the stairs that had been behind her and fell backwards, and because of the kind of child she was, she started to cry.

G felt irritated by the whole scene and picked up the little girl so she was standing again.

"Damn kids," G muttered to himself as he tried calming the kid down, but was failing horribly at it.

"G, you're really bad at this," Asari laughed as he came down the stairs, his formal robes glistening in the rays.

"Asari," G wasn't too thrilled by the intruding voice, but backed up as he bent down next to Setsuna.

"There, there, you need to not cry so much. I'm sure Kyouya-kun isn't as scary as he looks," Asari whispered in a low, soothing voice that helped the crying child. She sniffed and looked up at the kind male, her big, round eyes shining happily.

"She just needs to toughen up," G muttered to himself getting a laugh from Asari.

"She's just a kid you know," Asari continued to laugh as the two adults left the foyer.

The words from Asari resounded in Hibari, and he noted the young girl. She was about two or three years younger than him and looked like she'd never experience anything dark in her life. She looked pure and innocent in her life, and noting this, he knew she was someone he couldn't extract his revenge on. He did, in fact, want to extract his revenge on the bulb cut male who'd brought him here in the first place.

"Setsuna was it?" he asked as he walked up to her. Her big, doe like eyes looked up at him curiously.

"It's fine if you refer to me as older brother," he said looking away; the words not tasting as bad as he had originally thought. She looked up at him with a smile on her face.

Final Note: So, what do you think? I know it's not really following Tsuna, but it will, just hang in there. I have this really cool idea that will last a few more chapters before it get's to the point my initial thoughts were at. Also, I just thought it would be fun to have these characters in the spotlight until later on.

I want to thank everyone who has read, put this as a favorite, or alerted this story. It really makes' me happy to see that other's are interested in this story just as much as I am. Also, I want to thank PurpleSong again for the review.

For one final note, this story is sharing updating times with two other stories I have been writing. So it'll be really random when I update. It might get updated quickly or slowly depending on which story has more ideas pop into my head. With that, I leave you to the rest of your day.
