Chapter 1: Reborn has a what?
Tsuna was sleeping peacefully when a familiar pain hit his stomach. "Wake up, Loser Tsuna!" said Reborn as he jumped on Tsuna's stomach.
"Reborn is in an especially good mood today. I wonder what happened," thought Tsuna to himself. "Wait..." Tsuna suddenly remembered what had happened last night.
Sudden Flashback
"Tsuna tomorrow a very important-" started Reborn as he prepared for bed.
"NO! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" Tsuna shouted. "Anything that Reborn deems as important must have to do with the Mafia and I want nothing to do with that!" He thought to himself. "UPH!" The sound of Reborn hitting Tsuna's head echo through the room.
"You dare interrupt me?" Reborn asks as he continually hits Tsuna.
"Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, alright!" Tsuna shouts.
"Now as I was saying. There will be important people coming tomorrow. You will meet my..." Reborn suddenly stopped. Just as Tsuna was wondering what was going on Reborn started to snore. Dumbfounded, Tsuna decided to just go to bed.
Time skip back to the present
"Oh, so that must be why Reborn is in such a great mood. It must be because of his guest. Man, I'm getting scared. Nope nope it's too scary anyone Reborn deems as important must be scary," Tsuna thought to himself. "Better avoid the surprise guest and Reborn too for that matter. I really don't want to know!" Tsuna rushed to get changed and out the door before Reborn could finish the talk they started last night. He raced out the door and down the street. After a short while he was tired and stopped running, looking around to see if Reborn had followed him.
"Good morning 10th!" said Gokudera with his usually enthusiasm. "What are you doing?" he asks.
"Oh, ah nothing," Tsuna responds. He sighs in relief. "Apparently he didn't follow me." Thought to himself.
As the two start off to school, Reborn looks up from his breakfast and says, "That's right! I forget to remind Tsuna that they will be here today. Oh well, guess he will have to find out himself." And with that Reborn returns to his breakfast as Tsuna comes closer and closer to "Them."
The classroom as school starts
Tsuna had been leisurely talking to Gokudera and Yamamoto when the teacher walked in. "Class may I have your attention. We will be having two new transfer students as of today."
"Oh, umm sorry," said one of the new students as she walked in. "It seems that my friend run off I will search for her later." Her tone was apologetic as she reassured the teacher that she was responsible for her friend and would get her later. "Not to mention," she thought to herself, "there is no way that she would listen to anyone else."
"Well then, for now I will introduce you. Everyone this young lady is Annalisa, she and her friend both come from Italy. They both will be in our class as of today," said the teacher.
"Nice to meet you!" said the girl cheerfully and with a sweet smile. She was a short girl with olive skin, dark brown eyes, and straight, black hair in a high ponytail about shoulder length long. She wore the school's normal outfit, a white button down shirt with a blue sweater and tan skirt. With her hair up everyone could see her seven piercings, four on the left (one was a cartilage) and three on the right. And finally a chain on her skirt.
Normally, Tsuna would be scared of her type. A girl with multiple piercings and a chain; but unlike Gokudera who dressed similarly, this girl was nice and put out a cheery aura. She had an odd mixture of cute and cool at the same time. "She is pretty, but I have Kyoko!" Thought Tsuna to himself. As he looked around he had to sigh. At least half the boys were already in love with her. He just had time to think, "Oh boy!" when he's eye caught Yamamoto. His friend had a blank stare in his eyes. His jaw half open and the hand his head had been in previously was now left forgotten, laying on his desk. "Wow!" thought Tsuna. "I have never seen him like this before. As far as I know he has never paid attention to any girl before." He sneaked a look at Gokudera, but he was as indifferent as always. That is until he saw Tsuna looking at him, then he waved furiously at him and smiled. Tsuna didn't pay much attention to the new girl, anyone that pretty and popular would have nothing to do with him. Yamamoto and Gokudera maybe, but certainly not him. He had gone back to uselessly staring at the problems in his math book, he would never get them, when he felt all eyes on him. He looked up slowly dreading that what he had guess was about to happen. She couldn't be connected to Reborn, right? As he looked up his eyes met the smiling eyes of none other than the new girl.
"Hi! As the teacher said my name is Annalisa. You must be Tsuna! Reborn told me all about you! It's nice to finally met you!" she said in a cheer and sweet tone. Every one of the guys were staring holes in Tsuna's head. He wanted to cry.
Yamamoto looked slowly back and forth between the two of them, then laughed. "Haha! How interesting! You know that kid at Tsuna's house?" apparently he had gotten over his love-spell, but not completely for he still had a slight blush.
"Yup, let me guess. That laid-back personality and height, not to mention the athletic look, you must be Yamamoto, right?" said Annalisa happily, like it was a game of guess who.
"Haha! Your right! How did you know?" asked Yamamoto truly interested.
"Hehe! Reborn told me about all of you!" said Annalisa laughing.
"Hey, don't act so friendly with the 10th got that? Stupid woman!" said Gokudera roughly.
"That's rude! You can't talk to girls like that okay, Gokudera? You will never get a girl like that!" she said as if she were his mother scolding him.
"Wha?!" Gokudera was a little taken aback at that scolding, he was slightly blushing.
"Haha!" Yamamoto just kept laughing.
"Um, how did you know it was me?" asked Tsuna sheepishly.
"Hm? Oh that was easy. You look just like Dino when he was Reborn's student!" she said.
"Dino?!" thought Tsuna, but before he could ask her about it the teacher objected.
"Alright! That's enough. Annalisa, can you please sit down so that we can start our class?" asked the teacher in a somewhat annoyed tone and pointing to the empty desk in the back of the room.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I was just so excited to finally met Tsuna!" she said happily. Tsuna got more heated stares. "Can you please trade seats with me?" she asked the guy sitting next to Tsuna. He willingly agreed. "Thank you! Yay! Now I get to sit next to Tsuna!" Tsuna could have groaned.
"What did you do that for?" asked a guy in the class who was sitting next to the guy who moved. "Now we may never get a chance with her!" He exclaimed madly.
"Hey! You try saying no to her!" said the guy who moved defensively. Annalisa ignored both of them. The teacher cleared his throat and started class begrudgingly.
At lunch time
All the guys were swarming Annalisa, she didn't look comfortable. She suddenly got up apologizing to the guys and came towards Tsuna. "Oh no... not again!" Tsuna complained mentally.
"Tsuna can I eat with you there's something I want to talk to you about," she said. Her tone had turned serious. Tsuna found it peculiar and agreed. "Oh and invite Yamamoto and Gokudera too please," she was polite, but Tsuna could tell that she was not to be opposed. "I will met you boys on the roof in a few minutes. I still need to find my friend. I was too lenient with her." that last line was delivered with a sigh, it was almost like she was talking to herself. Tsuna didn't know what she was talking about.
"I don't like it," said Gokudera.
"Why not? It sounds interesting!" Yamamoto said happily. He sounded back to normal, but Tsuna could detect the little awkwardness in his tone and appearance. Tsuna tried to break up the fight that Gokudera wanted to start with Yamamoto and they all three headed for the roof.
Annalisa on the roof
"I already know your there. There's no point in hiding," Annalisa had the stern tone of a mother lecturing her daughter.
"Man! you are the only one who could have talked me into this!" said a younger girl angrily as she leaned against the wall completely hidden by the shadows. "I don't even what to be here in the first place!" She complained. She was short with a strong built and pale, white skin. She had brown hair with red highlights and sharp, hazel eyes. She wore the school's typical uniform, a ring of a simple silver band, and a necklace. It was a plain necklace with a simple red stone on it. The stone was rough around the edges. She was pretty and sharp. She was wearing a cap that pulled back her hair. Like her friend with her hair away from her face one could see her piercings. She had two on each side.
As the girl was about to complain Annalisa cut her off, "Ash! You will listen and obey the rules of this school! Do you hear me?! I know that you are mad about leaving home, but that does not excuse bad behavior do you understand me?!" She gave the younger girl a look that meant "you do not defy me!"
The other girl slumped a little and thought to herself, "Darn! She must have heard about that already. I thought that I handled it."
"Yes I did hear about it," it was as if Annalisa could read minds!
Ash spat, "It's not like I started it! That jerk was totally asking for it! he-"
"ASH!" said Annalisa in a tone that warned of impatience.
"Alright! But just cuz it's you senpai!" said Ash.
"Thank you," Annalisa's smile came back then, and she affectionately rubbed the younger girls head. (Annalisa was the only one who would dare do something like that) "We will talk about this later, but as long as you understand no harm no foul. Remember, I love you and want the best for you!"
"Yeah I know. I love you too senpai!" Ash was a little embarrassed at the compliment, but was exceedingly happy at getting it at the same time.
"We are here on a very important mission, don't forget!" warned Annalisa.
"Wait what mission again?" asked Ash causally.
"I know you want to know very badly what this mission is, Ash. But you won't get the better of my by trying to trick me into telling you," said Annalisa just as causally.
"And I thought I could get her," thought Ash.
"You need to train more if you thought that would work."
"I hate that creepy mind reading ability she has!" Annalisa just started to laugh at this point. Just then the two heard sounds of footsteps coming up the stairs to the roof. Ash tensed preparing herself, but Annalisa put her hand up in the "Stop" gesture and said that she was expecting them. Ash relaxed a little. Then the door opened and three young guys stepped out. One was tall and athletic looking, but Ash thought that he had a stupid look on his face. "He would have been good looking if he didn't have that stupid way of grinning and that laid back appearance," she thought to herself. She also didn't like the way he was looking at her senpai. "Senpai is pretty, even I think so, but I haven't met a guy yet who is worthy!" She though stubbornly. Next in the middle was a short guy that looked nervous. "I bet anything that he has a nickname like loser or geek," she continued to critic. The last guy was her favorite. He wasn't quite as good looking as the guy she met earlier that day, but he was good. He wore a scowl and had the delinquent appearance to match. "This guy would be fun to tease," she thought.
"Thank you for coming," said Annalisa in her usual nice voice. "I will introduce everyone. Everyone, this is Ash. Ash this is Yamamoto, Tsuna, and Gokudera. They are in Reborn's care."
"Ah! So that's why we are here," Ash thought, "something about my senpai's-"
"How do you know about all of us and Reborn?" asked Gokudera rudely. Ash had to laugh. The three guys just looked at her wondering what was going on. Finally Ash had calmed down, "Stupid, Annalisa is Reborn's older sister!" she said. This shocked all the guys.
Tsuna was the most shocked, "R-Reborn has an older sister?" he stuttered. Thoughts started to run wild in his mind. He pictured Annalisa age 6 holding a baby in one hand and a gun in the other hiding on a shadowy building at night. "Hush! We might be discovered!" said a young Annalisa to a baby Reborn as she pressed herself against a wall. Gokudera interrupted his crazy delusions.
"Wait 10th she could be trying to trick us. I've never heard of Reborn having a sister." said Gokudera glaring at Ash and Annalisa.
"She is telling the truth. It was keep a secret for a while, only a few know the truth. But you could ask Reborn or Dino if you still don't believe me. I hear you guys are close to both right?" Annalisa said.
"You know Dino?" asked Tsuna remembering what she had said earlier about him.
"Yeah, Reborn trained me and him together. It's embarrassing to say, but I am no match for Reborn. He had to teach me everything I know," Annalisa admitted. "But man, I thought I told Reborn to tell you so that this didn't happen!"
"Oh!" Tsuna said remembering Reborn's good mood and the important people that were coming. He explained about this to everyone and Annalisa nodded.
"That sounds just like him to fall asleep in the middle, then forget about it." she said a little irritated. "I bet that when you ask him about it he will put the blame on someone else too!"
"HAHA!" laughed Yamamoto. "That sounds just like the kid! Who knew that he would have such an interesting sister!"
"Hey! I'm watching you! Hands off my senpai!" yelled Ash angrily. Yamamoto just keep laughing and said that Ash was interesting too. As they were talking everyone but Tsuna felt something coming towards them.
"Get down!" yelled Annalisa as she tackled Ash who was trying to find out where that feeling was coming from. At the same time Gokudera and Yamamoto both shielded Tsuna who was confused.
"Very good!" said a familiar voice to all, "I see that you have met up with my sister!"
"Reborn!" everyone shouted.
"So, then Annalisa really is your older sister?" asked Tsuna.
"Yup!" stated Reborn, "now you all need to go back to class. I'm your home tutor you know." he said as Tsuna started to protest. Reborn stopped Tsuna's complaint about how there where more important things to talk about with a kick to the face. The three boys started to leave, Ash was hanging behind until she was sent away by Annalisa. Soon it was only brother and sister left on the roof top.
"Fine group you have. I sense strong power from them all,"said Annalisa.
Reborn smiled, "What do you think of them?" he asked.
"Ryohei is strong if anything, Yamamoto is a natural born hitman I agree, Gokudera is loyal that could come in handy, Hibari is the only one I have not met yet. From what I have observed though, he is the strongest. And last but not least, Tsuna he has the heart of a leader," Annalisa commented.
Reborn smiled obviously proud, "So the information I asked you to investigate?"
"I confirmed that they will pick two different contestants, I don't know why the 9th changed his mind to Xanxus though," Annalisa sighed.
"Do you know when they will be here?" Reborn asked concerned.
"I would say three months tops," she answered. "This doesn't look good brother. I came because I think we can be of service."
"That being said I don't sense any progress in your student," Reborn said.
Annalisa sighed again, "I love the girl and want her to be strong, but for that to happen she needs an awakening. She does not have the right mind set yet. Anything I teach her will fall on waste lands."
"You have grown," said Reborn, "That is the correct answer." Annalisa smiled, Reborn would forever see her as the little girl who still needed his help with everything. "Now go on to class," continued Reborn. "We will talk more later." She listened to him and left with a smile.
