A/N:Tsuna and co. are all in their final year of junior high, making them all 15-16. Hibari is 16, and I know I'm aging him down but I found it weird that he was 17 and still obsessed with Nami-chu when he should be in high school

"Tsu-chan" Her mother called from downstairs, "breakfast is ready!"

Tsuna curled up in herself, swamped in blankets. She didn't want to face her mother, didn't want to face her mother. Didn't want to be the one to break the news. (Because Lord knows when Iemitsu would tell her. He had already tried to keep them in the dark, what else would he try to hide from them)

"Tsu-chan?" Her mother called again, sounding vaguely concerned. Tsuna felt herself wishing to shut down. She couldn't do it.

A muffled sub left her, but her mother heard enough.

"Tsuna, I'm coming up." God, how would she do it? How was Tsuna going to crush her mother's heart. (But was she so heartless as to let her mother go on thinking that her son was still out there, off with her no good father.)

She heard a light knock, and then the darkness in her room was banished by the light from the hallway.

"Tsuna, what's wrong?"

Any other day, her mother would have admonished her on her mess of a room. She would have questioned her sleep habits and made small talk.

"Mama!" She cried, a sob wrecking her body. She refused to lift her head above her blankets, refused to face her mother.

But her mother gathered her up in blankets, into a hug. It made Tsuna feel like she was a child again. Like she was ten and it was her first night without Ieyoshi by her side. She felt so vulnerable and scared, she hugged her mother with all of her strength.

Panic crawled up her throat, making it hard for her to breathe, hard to even think. She wanted to throw up, to die if it meant her head would stop spinning. Crying had never hurt her so much, but she knew the silence was hurting her even more.

"Mama, he's dead," She cried, unable to hold it back. The first death she had witnessed would be her own brother's. "Ieyoshi's dead and it's Papa's fault," She sobbed,

Her mother stiffened, almost in disbelief.(But she knew what she was getting into when she married Iemitsu. She knew he was mafia.)

Her children were her world. And Iemitsu destroyed it, he had stolen her son and he could never get him back.

So she clutched her daughter, silently crying for the son she had lost, and her daughter, who was likely to be next. (Her resolved burned at that thought, she would be next over her dead body,)

Reborn watched as the pair of mother and daughter cried, unable to tell what they were saying. (He prided himself on his skill, but none if them included seeing through people's backs,) He would find out sooner or later what had happened, after all, the ninth had set up some flyers for Nana and Nana alone to see.

In a days time, he would be in that household. So for now, it was time to study his new student.

And her friends, he needed to know who her guardians would be. Hopefully he wouldn't have to call in too many favors.

It took Tsuna and Nana an hour to recollect themselves. Nana reassured her that she didn't have to go to school, but Tsuna knew that Kyoya would personally come and fight her if she didn't show up without notifying him first. (And she was well past the allotted time where she could and get away with it)

So slowly, she managed to get herself together. He body felt numb, the world seemed to be a muted grey. It felt like that night, the last night she saw her father and brother for years.

She and her brother sat across the table from the man they had been told to call Nono. She was ten years old, and it was August.(Or was it July, her memories became a hazy mess after this point. Her world becoming off kilter)

"Yoshi," she whispered, as her father talked to the man

"What?" He whispered back, engrossed in his DS. He was playing a Pokemon game of some sorts (The details didn't matter at the time, but now she wished she had soaked it all in. Wished she could remember his favorite color, his favorite food)

"Why did Papa bring his boss? I thought this was supposed to be family time," She whined, (not noticing that Nono was watching his response too.)

"I dunno," He responded casually, not even looking up from his game. He yelped when she kicked him from under the table. He met her glare and groaned. "Fine, he grumbled, putting down his DS

"Maybe he wants to see if Nono likes him. I dunno, if he's getting payed a lot for being a construction worker, if the boss likes us maybe we can get a job there too?" He said, shrugging.

She smiled at his right answer(Something in her told her that he was right. Later along the line she would wish he was wrong) and jolts when she hears boisterous laughter coming from Nono and her father.

It scared her so much she had jumped out of her seat, falling off the chair and hitting her head on the way down.

She remembered that before she went unconscious, a flame, the same shade as the setting sky, lit itself on her head.

When she woke up the warmth in her chest was gone and the world had never been the same.

But Tsuna trekked on, showering, getting dressed in her uniform, complete with her Disciplinary Committee Armband.

Absentmindedly she sent a text to notify others of her lateness.

#Girls-only

Arancia: Im gonna be late scintilla tell kyoya

Scintilla: u have his number. Also yall cute being on first name basis

Soleggiato: committee members are never late. Even if they come five minutes before the last bell

Soleggiato: Also Arancia your never late. Is something up?

Tsuna put her phone down, walking out the house without answering her friend. While she knew Kyoko only meant well, she was hoping to take her mind off of the situation. She wasn't going to be answering any questions. (And she knew there would be so many questions)

Her walk to school was uneventful (barring the nagging feeling that someone was watching her) and she managed to get into class without incident. She managed to ignore her friends looks, and gave the teacher a glare to stop the man from saying anything. Its not like he could, not when she's part of the D.C. and the Hibari family owns the school. Which somehow gives her more power than most of the teachers. (Power that she's not above abusing when she's in a bad mood)

So she managed to get through class without incident. She wasn't able to say the same about the walk to the next class.

"You look like shit," Hana remarked, giving Tsuna a once over.

"I know," she replied quietly. She was not in the mood for an interrogation.

Kyoko, as attuned to emotions as always, stepped in and saved the day. "We told Hibari about you being late," She said, giving Tsuna a small smile. One which she returned. (If she was blushing, that was no one's business but hers. She did not have a crush on one of her best friends) (Yes she did)

Hana rolled her eyes and snorted. "More like told Kusakabe to tell him."

Tsuna rolled her eyes as her friends continued the conversation, her giving minimal input. It was nice, being around them. Being around them made it easy to pretend that everything was ok.

Made it easy to pretend her brother didn't die last night.

The thought prodded at a fresh wound in her chest. A hole that should have never existed. Because her brother should never have been dragged off to Italy to die.

Reborn watched his future student go about her day. It was interesting, watching her go about her civilian life.

So far he had two potential suns, a lightning, rain and cloud. Which made his life so much easier. He remembered the hell that was setting up Dino's guardians. It had been a mess. (And while Reborn was chaos' ever eager servant, he preferred chaos done by him, not done upon him.)

Had Tsuna not been sealed she would have already been bonded with her cloud, Hibari Kyoya. (There was no way that the boy wasn't related to Fon. Not with that face. Reborn needed to ask Fon about this next time he saw the storm.) There was a history to their friendship, one that he was very interested in finding. So far everything he had dug up said something along the lines of 'they've known each other for as long as Hibari had been controlling the town' which is to say a long time. But he was the World's Greatest Hitman. He would find it eventually, even if he had to beat it out of Ietsuna herself.

The rain was also easy, seeing as there was an uncollected life debt there. Some digging showed that last year there had been a thwarted suicide attempt, Tsuna gained an ally, the baseball team lost it's star player. (Tsuna made an enemy of the baseball team soon after, but no one can stand up to Hibari, so nothing has been done). Takeshi found a new place doing Kendo with his father.

Tsuna's friend (Possible crush? He would need to collect more data for that useful tidbit of information) Kyoko, a sun (maybe a sun/rain mix. That would certainly be useful if it turns out that Yamamoto was too mentally unstable to become a guardian.) Another person that Ietsuna was on the cusp of bonding with, if not for the seal. Her life was pretty simple, she was a normal civilian. If she were to become Ietsuna's guardian, her years doing Ballet would be very useful.

Her brother on the other hand, pure sun by the looks of it. Boxing had kept the boy very fit, and it meant he already had a fighting style. Which was good. Less for Reborn to train. But he and Ietsuna had barely spoken, cultivating a bond between them would be, difficult, but manageable. But he was only the second option. If possible, Reborn wanted the younger sister to be her guardian.

Last but not least is Hana. She was a lightning, which meant Ietsuna almost had a complete set, save storm and mist. She was on the swim team, which made her athletic enough. Definitely a good choice for lightning. Not including the Fon clone (whose deal he still had to figure out) she was friends with Ietsuna the longest. Which meant she had to be the first recruit. Or one of the first anyways. Because Hibari's flames were so close to the surface Reborn might not even have to do anything to get him flame active. And once Ietsuna is unsealed her sky attraction will be like a drug to her friends.

All in all this mission was shaping up to be a easy one.

But he still had to make a call or two.

"Hello?" Reborn asked,

"How the fuck d'you get this Goddamn number." This is why you use burner phones Reborn thought to himself.

"Is this Smoking Bomb Hayato?"

Hook

"What the fuck is it to you?"

Line

"This is Reborn, and I have a job for you." Silence answered him.

And Sinker.

A/N: And that wraps this chapter up. Can't wait for Reborn to meet Tsuna. Mainly so I can stop having him refer to her by her full name cuz its a pain to type. I also cant wait for Nana and reborn to meet. Guess in the comments what you think Hibari and Tsuna's history together is.
