-FLASHBACK-

"Sir, we've determined the location of the Vongola Mist ring, but it's currently on the move. It looks like the bearer is a kid."

"Good. Proceed as planned. Intercept it before you lose visual and bring it to the meeting place."

"Yes sir!"

-radio transmission- "We're all in the clear. Execute Plan A. I repeat, Execute Plan A."

"I'm on it boss. Target is preparing to hail a cab. Intercepting now." Guglielmo said to his earphone. 'To think that the Vongola lets a potential target wander alone, they really think highly of themselves.'

"Decimo, Sir. The Vongola Mist ring is currently on the Italian soil. Shall I alert the Varia?" Gianini asked their current leader.

"Thank you for informing me Gianini. Yes, do please inform the Varia. They know what to do." Tsunayoshi, the Vongola Decimo said.

-CURRENTLY-

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Gunshots resounded in the perimeter and multiple shouts were heard.

"Sembra che ci sono un po 'in ritardo...Ushishishishi-"(Looks like we're kind of late..) A voice said by the door.

"Cosa? Prendete il ragazzo. Copriteci. Andare!"(What?! Take the kid. Cover us. Go!) The higher up of the people who kidnapped me ordered.

"Vooooiiiii! You're not going anywhere with that kid!" said the a guy with long silver hair from the group that just got in.

'Oh, shoot. are those the bloody Varia?' I thought as I caught a glimpse of the people getting in the building. 'What are they bloody doing here?! Not that I don't want to be rescued. But they're not supposed to be real!'

Suddenly, I found myself in the arms of a guy(?) with a multi-coloured hair and a Mohawk. 'Lussuria!' I thought.

"Oh little one, are you hurt anywhere? Decimo will beat us into pulp if you are." said Lussuria.

"Uh, I'm fine. Thanks for worrying about me." I replied.

"Eh? English?" he asked.

"Oh, I mean, -clears throat- Bene, grazie!" I corrected.

"Trash! Get going we're done here." a husky and scary voice said.

"Yes Boss!",turning to me Lussuria said, "Oh, darling. You can speak English if you prefer it."

"Uh, thank you, uhm-?" I bowed my head a little and looked up as I blinked"

"Oh, so cute! Call me Luss-nee!" he squealed.

"Uh, thank you Luss-nee."

The ride to the Vongola Mansion in Sicily was a bit chaotic. Considering the fact that I was with a rather weird bunch of assassins, I'm thankful that I'm not maimed yet. We rode another plane, now that I'm with 'bodyguards', to Sicily. And from there, a limousine arrived to drive us to our destination.

"Little one, what's your name?" Lussuria asked me while in the limo ride.

"Uhm, I'm sorry but I'm still thinking about the phrase : Don't talk to strangers. I'm considering it greatly. I'm really sorry." I answered.

"Oh! I forgot! Don't worry. Well, my name is Lussuria, you can call me Luss-nee. That guy with a hood is Mammon. The blonde with a tiara is Bel. The one with a frog hat is Fran. That scary old man is Levi. The one with the long silver hair is Squalo. And the one who calls everyone 'Trash' is our boss, Xanxus. And we are the Vongola's Assassination squad, the Varia!" he answered.

"Oh. Then, my name is Mikhaeli, nice to meet you. And thanks for saving me back there. I just want to ask why I'm here. And why were those guys after me." I replied.

"You're taking this very well, aren't you?" the one with the hood, Mammon, asked.

"Uhm, well, maybe my state of shock is this? I've never been to a similar situation before so I got no idea how to react right." I said.

"Hmm. For your previous questions, the Decimo will answer that." Mammon replied.

"Oh, okay, thanks again."

"Jyuudaime, the Varia will be here in a few minutes." Goukudera Hayato, the Decimo's right-hand man said.

"Thank you Hayato. I'll be down in a minute. Kindly escort them to the meeting room?"

"Yes Boss."


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"We're here!" Lussuria announced. "Ah, Gokudera-san, here's the new Mist bearer, Mikhaeli."

"Good. The boss wants to meet you in the meeting room. Follow me." Gokudera said.

"Eh, he's cold. Nevermind him. Come on." Lussuria said with a pout.

"Trash, this better be good." said Xanxus and we all proceeded to follow Gokudera.


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ah, welcome. Xanxus, I personally thank you for getting the new Mist Guardian." The Vongola Decimo said and turned to me, "What's your name little one?"

"Mikhaeli. And can I talk to you in private?" I asked.

"That can be arranged." He replied.

"I mean now. I'm already freaking out you know."

"Okay, I can see your trembling. Very well, let's talk in my office. Gokudera, please attend to them."

"Yes Jyuudaime."


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tsuna closed the door to his office as soon as we entered. He then sat on his chair and asked me, "So, Mikhaeli, what is it that you want to discuss with me? Don't be scared of me by the way."

"I'm not scared of you." This earned me a raised eyebrow. "Really, I'm not. Could you please listen to me and not laugh or brand me as crazy? And please let me tell you everything first," I pleaded.

"Okay, I promise. What is it?"

I inhaled hugely and began.

"Don't interrupt me okay?" This one earned me a nod," Okay. Uhm, how do I explain this, uh, first I came from another country and was just here to visit my aunt for a vacation and suddenly, I found myself getting kidnapped. Then a bunch of guys rescued me and took me here. Mafia? Sounds plausible, but the fact that you and the Varia and that guy Gokudera AND the Vongola are supposed to be fictional..Argh! I can't even explain it right! Don't interrupt. And what are you guys talking about a new Mist guardian or something like that? You're supposed to be all a part of an anime show!" I gritted out.

"Can I talk now?" he asked.

"Yes." I said with a pout.

"Well, me, the Varia, Gokudera, and all that you said that were supposed to be anime, are all real."

"I'm in another dimension?"

"No."

"Huh?"

He gave a small smile and asked, "Know my tutor?"

"Reborn."

"Yes, Reborn. He thought that it would be a nice thing to have our life story put into an anime show."

"Sounds like him."

He let out a small chuckle, "Yes, but knowing him, we won't stand a chance if we argued, so we relented. And with you being targeted, well, it's because you're the new Mist guardian."

"How? What about Mukuro and Chrome?"

"Well, about that." He turned serious," Mukuro betrayed Vongola."

"What?! Like Daemon?'

"Yes. I'm not going to tell you the specifics but he tried to destroy the Vongola. Chrome didn't want to be part of it, but since it was Mukuro, she went with him. But not before giving us a parting gift. That time, since the anime was a hit, she decided to use her mist flames and infuse all the Vongola Ring merchandise with it. It was so that whoever is appropriate for the position of the Mist Guardian will be able to turn it to a real ring. Also, since the Mist deals with the mind, no matter if the next bearer isn't a fan; he or she would unconsciously be pulled in contact with one of the rings. The power of suggestion, she said."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. But, really, me? I can't even fight, nor light up the ring in flames, well, I haven't tested that one out yet, but still, I'm just a common civilian."

"Don't worry about any of those things. We'll teach you."

"Just don't let reborn teach me."

"Of course." He said with a smile.

MEANWHILE…

"Kufufufu- So they've found a new Mist then. Hmmm… This'll be interesting."
