She was a girl. A normal girl with no special abilities, nor the tendency of getting herself into trouble. So when she caught the eye of the Hibari Kyoya, he knew that she was more than her appearance showed. And he was more than willing to find out what laid beneath the perfect exterior.
A/N: I DO NOT OWN KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN! IT BELONGS TO AMANO AKIRA-SENSEI. I ONLY OWN MY OC(s)! A/N №2: Just to clarify, Rinna and Tsuna are 17 years old and Hibari is around 19 years old. I will do a character profile in the near future for more information. A/N №3: Thanks for the reviews! I'm glad you're enjoying the story! ; )'That was a total embarrassment!'
Rinna thought as she descended down the stairs. How could she have forgotten that the rooftop was Hibari-san's favourite napping place. She shook her head. It didn't matter anyway.
She headed directly to her classroom to gather her things. She decided it was pointless to stay in school any longer as she might encounter Hibari again. Just the thought of it made her shiver. Rinna didn't know what had gotten into her. It wasn't not as if she liked him or anything. She just… okay, maybe she did have the slightest attraction to him. I mean, who wouldn't? He was practically a sex god walking on earth, with his beautiful features and tall frame. Hmm, maybe she really liked him-….
'No! Stop it! Snap out of it! What the hell is wrong with you woman? Have you gone crazy?'
Rinna sighed for the n-th time today. There was seriously something wrong with her, but she had nobody to blame except for herself. Actually, she blamed it entirely on her hormones which had gone overdrive. Last week, for example, she had a dream, which was quite a bit inappropriate and included her and a very much sweaty (not from any sort of a sport, mind you) Hibari. Both of them were in a very compromising situation which Rinna wanted to forget about.
'Yes, just my hormones. I'm attracted to his physical appearance rather than emotions!'
She moaned and plopped down on her chair. Suddenly she had the urge to bang her head on the desk, but decided against it. Her head was hurting enough and she didn't want it to suffer any more. Rinna laid her head on the desk and closed her eyes. How wonderful would it be if she just fell asleep right away, dreaming of her beautiful sky…
"Ciaossu!"
Suddenly a squeaky voice brought her back into reality. She snapped her eyes open and looked around. That was strange. There was nobody around and for a moment she thought she might be going crazy.
'Great. Not only I have become some driven by hormones girl, but I'm losing my mind too.'
She was about to lay down once again when a kick in the head interrupted her activity. She clutched it in pain and was ready to kick that motherfucker's ass who dared to do that to her. She turned to the direction from where the kick was landed, but was surprised to see a baby. A baby dressed in a suit, a black fedora hat on his head and a little green creature on his shoulder.
'What the hell?'
"You must be Rinna, right? Shizuka Rinna?"
Rinna just sat there; staring wide eyed at the baby and wondering how could a baby land such a powerful kick.
'I mean look at his legs! There are so tiny you could mistake them for-'
Another kick landed on her head. This time she cursed and stood up, ready do defend herself. She didn't know who he was and why he was here, but she was not a person who would take a beating, especially from a baby.
"Yes, I am. And who are you?"
The baby was looking at her with a curious expression. The short dark brown hair and her dark, almost black eyes reminded him a lot of her. Maybe it was really true. That Rinna was her daughter and if that so, then he would be her-… No, that wasn't possible. Or at least that's what he thought, for the first time in decades Reborn couldn't figure out something. Something really important to him.
"I'm Reborn. A mafia hit man. I've heard a lot about you from Dino, but I've never thought you would be such a beautiful young girl in a person."
Huh? Dino… why did that moron told someone about her. That idiot promised her! He promised not to tell anybody, nor to even mention about her existence! Oh boy, was he going to pay when she sees him.
"Thank you, I guess…. So, what can I do for you Reborn-chan?"
Her inner self smiled evilly. Like heck she was going to believe that this baby was a hitman! She had seen enough of those in Dino's mansion, but a baby? Bitch, please!
Reborn scowled and dropped his fedora, covering his eyes. So the girl had guts and wasn't afraid to stand up for herself. She reminded him a lot of somebody, not of her mother, but someone he knew much better. He decided to ignore her way of addressing him and smirked.
"I want you to join Tsuna's family Rinna. The Vongola Famglia."
She pondered. Tsuna – never heard of him, in fact it reminded her of fish. Vongola – now, she had heard about it. The most powerful and strongest famiglia in the whole world. The ruled the others, smaller families and she knew the Cavallone Famiglia was one of their biggest supporters. She wasn't exactly a mafia child, nor she was part of any mafia family, but she had her fair share of information about the way things worked in this world.
"I'm sorry, but I have no intention to join the mafia, especially the Vongola family. Dino and his family are enough for me. I don't have the time, nor the patience to deal with more crazy people."
Having said that she picked her bag and moved past him, going to the door. Before going out she stopped and turned around.
"And please, from now on, don't address me in such way."
Reborn stood there, thinking. He faintly heard the noise of the door closing and started wondering. Was it possible? Was she really related to him? Sure, he and her mother were involved in a romantic way, but she had betrayed him. And she wasn't even pregnant at that time. Or was she? He didn't want to remember anymore of her. Just the lone thought of her mother made his heart hurt. The only sign he still had a heart.
'That's interesting.'
He turned around and left too.
Tsuna was worried. Reborn had gone somewhere and he wasn't back. Don't get him wrong, he wasn't worried about Reborn. He was worried about what devious plan was Reborn thinking of.
'Hiiiieeee'
Oh god, don't tell me he was going to jump from somewhere, shoot him with a Dying Will Bullet and smirk evilly, while Tsuna was flying around naked and yelling nonsense. Just the thought of it made Tsuna feel like fainting.
"Juudaime! Are you alright?" Oh great. Tsuna didn't have anything against Gokudera, but sometimes his concern was a bit suffocating.
" , I'm fine Gokudera-kun." Gokudera just stood there with a wide grin on his face. He really admired his Boss. The way he protected the family in the future and the concern he showed for others were an amazing things.
"Haha, are you guys waiting for me?", the ever so popular baseball player came into view as both Gokudera and Tsuna turned to face him. Tsuna smiled brightly and opened his mouth to greet Yamamoto, but Gokudera beat him at it.
"Shut up, you baseball freak! Nobody was waiting for you.", a fussing Gokudera said. Oh god, not again.
Truthfully speaking, Tsuna was worried. The way they greeted each other, the way they talked and the way they behaved had changed since the battles they have fought. Sure, they have grown up not only physically, but mentally too. Tsuna stood tall and he wasn't that little looking animal like character anymore. He had grown into a good-looking young man, who knew what he wanted from life. Tsuna knew he had changed and the others have noticed it too. People started recognizing him more and most of them started respecting him as an individual.
Gokudera and Yamamoto had changed too, even though neither of them seemed to show it. Both of them got even taller and despite not showing it, they knew how the world and people around them worked. Gokudera behaved a bit more properly and Yamamoto wasn't this 'happy-go-lucky guy' anymore. He continued laughing and making jokes, but it was obvious that he wasn't oblivious of his surroundings; he himself had become more cautious.
Tsuna sighted. He really hoped they would stay the same way as before.
'Even if it was just for a little while…'
