"Tsu-kun! Your friend's here!" called Sawada Tsunayoushi's mother from the kitchen.
"Ah! Miyuki-san!" exclaimed Tsuna as Miyuki took of her shoes in his doorway.
"Yo, Miyuki." called Yamamoto from the staircase, Gokudera behind him.
"Konichiwa, Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto-kun, Tsuna." said Aora with a soft smile on her face.
"Yo, Silver Rose." came the child voice of Reborn.
Aora looked up.
"Ya, how's it been, sun alcobaleno?" responded Aora.
"Not bad." said Reborn.
"Eh? Silver...rose? You still haven't told me why you call her that." asked Tsuna.
Reborn smirked.
"You'll see for yourself tomorrow when we all return to the future." said Reborn.
Aora headed up the stairs to Tsuna's room.
"Aora-nee, are you here to help Tsuna-nii with his homework again?" asked the small voice that could not belong to anyone but 8 year old Fuuta.
"Mhm." said Aora with a light smile on her face.
Aora settled on Tsuna's bed and stretched her arms. She flexed her hands and glanced at her rings.
"Eh...I still think the future me has a sly sense of style. The designs on these rings all resemble angels' wings." said Aora.
"You're of sky attribute, better yet, you share every attribute. You'd think your rings were all part of a set." said Reborn.
"Ah, but I don't know what set." said Aora.
"Um, Reborn, what are we going to do about school after we return to the future." asked Tsuna.
"You don't need to ask that question." said Reborn.
Aora smirked.
"Maa, we still have to defeat Byaku-nii when we return to the future." said Aora, her smile disappearing.
"That's right, Byakuran's your brother, right." said Tsuna, his face with a look of sympathy.
"It's not easy defeating your family members, even if you know they're evil." said Yamamoto.
"Well we can't let someone's emotions get in our way, right boss?" said Gokudera.
"Yeah...but..." said Tsuna.
Aora looked up.
"Its okay." said Aora.
"By the way, where were you earlier, when you could have been helping the boss?" asked Gokudera.
"Ehh?" Aora glanced up.
Aora was speechless. She didn't know how to respond.
"We're all a bit curious." said Tsuna, embarrassed and scratching the back of his head.
"I...um...." began Aora.
Suddenly, Aora's phone rang.
Aora picked it up and looked at the screen.
Hibari Kyoya it read.
"Hello?" Aora asked into her phone.
"Wake up early and walk with me tomorrow." said the seductive voice of the head of discipline.
"Okay." said Aora.
"Bye, bye." said Hibari.
"Bye." said Aora as she hung up her phone.
"Who was it?" asked Reborn.
"Hibari." responded Aora, the tone of her voice without feeling.
"EHH?" gasped the room of people.
"THAT jerk?" yelled Gokudera.
"Erm...what was Hibari-san calling you about." asked Tsuna.
"Who knows." said Aora, a smirk appearing on her face.

The next day, Aora woke up to the voice of the Callavone Family boss.
"Onii-sama....." whispered Aora.
"Nani?" came the gentle voice of none other than Dino.
"I have to go..." said Aora.
Dino sighed.
"All right, but promise to come back safe." said Dino as he brushed back his blonde hair.
Aora usually stayed with Dino and his companions whenever he was in Japan. When he wasn't, she usually stayed at Gokudera's.
Aora got dressed and headed out to meet Hibari with whatever he had planned.
"Hibari, Hibari." came the high-pitched voice of the yellow fluff-ball that landed of the shoulder of the head of discipline.
"Hibari." said Aora.
"Let's go." said Hibari.
Aora leaned her head against Hibari, who put his arm around her. They walked together all the way to Namimori Shrine. In the middle of the shrine sat none other than the lavender shape of the ten year bazooka.
