Tsunayoshi ignored the questioning looks as she proceeds down the hallway of Namimori elementary school, her violin case in hand. Of course they would stare, she belonged in the cheer leading club after all, not the music club. It wasn't as if she really played, well, she does but not for a human audience anyway. Back to the topic at hand, Tsunayoshi was heading to her art class when she overheard her classmates gossiping.

"Hey hey, did you hear? The middle school received a new student!"

"Ehh? At this time of the year?"

"Yeah! And he's italian, they say he looks really, um, what's that word...?"

"Hot?"

"Yeah! That's it!"

"Hm, not like it's our business anyway, we're just elementary school kids."

"Yeah... true."

Hmm, there is no such thing as a coincidence, was Tsunayoshi's favourite saying, considering that it came from the person that had told her about her duty. Speaking of, she needed to pay a visit soon, maybe tomorrow after school. Tsunayoshi mused as she set down her violin, smiling at her classmate that came up for a chat. An orange haired girl smiles at her as the brunette took out her sketchbook and placed it onto the easel.

"Tsuna-chan, would you be free later after school? I found this new cafe and their cakes are really good, I thought we could check it out together." Tsunayoshi pouts a little at the timing, settling a small box of paints on the side table.

"Ahhh, sorry Kyoko-chan... I have to rush home today." The orange haired girl, now named as Kyoko smiles as she waves off Tsunayoshi's apology.

"It's fine, Tsuna-chan, we can go some other day."

The art teacher then came in, and Kyoko hurriedly scurried to her seat, a light blush overcoming her cheeks as the art teacher admonishes her for not setting up before he got here. Tsunayoshi smiles fondly, then reverts her attention back to the lesson, they were going to be doing some caricature today.

All in all, a normal day.

Which was immediately put to a stop the moment she returned home. Still halfway through taking off her brown penny loafers, Tsunayoshi balanced on one foot as she stared at the baby clad in a fedora and a smart looking two-piece suit. Blinking out of her reverie, she simply continues taking off her shoes and properly aligning them before kneeling down to bring herself to eye-level with the child. (Which isn't exactly a child, is what her senses told her, but that's another story for later.)

"Please wait for me in the room on the second floor to your right. I'll be right with you." She instructs softly, smiling gently as the child raised an eyebrow but moved to comply with her instructions anyway. Her mother poked her head out of the kitchen, a bright smile on her face as she spots her beloved daughter.

"Hello, Tsu-chan~ I assume you've met your tutor?" Tsunayoshi thinks back to the child before she nods.

"I haven't officially introduced myself though, I was thinking we could chat over tea and was about to make some." Nana smiles at her thoughtful daughter who moved to proceed into the kitchen.

"I'm assuming you won't need help?" Tsunayoshi shakes her head, smiling as she thanks her mother for offering before she rolls up the sleeves of her sailor uniform to avoid getting stains onto the navy blue fabric. She worked quickly, and was soon holding a tray of tea things as well as coffee jelly that she had made the night before.

She sets the tray on the small table set in the middle of her room on a fluffy white carpet, pouring the steaming amber liquid into the white tea cups she had decided on for today. She looks up to see her alleged tutor positioned on her bed and surveying the room. Her room was rather big, there was ample space to fit in a large princess bed, a white study table, a short bookshelf, a small walk-in closet and a small Television set tucked neatly in the corner adjacent to the door.

Reborn was pleasantly surprised by the neatness of the room, everything was in its place and even the cushions that surrounded the small table looked like an organized mess. The sun acrobaleno was pulled out of his musings when the girl places the steaming cups of tea on the table, followed by a plate holding a small black gelatin square.

"I hope you have a taste for coffee jelly...?" Tsunayoshi trailed off, having realized that she had yet to know this strange being's name.

"Reborn. And yes, I like coffee." Tsunayoshi smiles at the baby, (Not baby, not baby, her instincts wailed) watching as he jumped from her bed to position himself on the soft cushions before helping himself to the dessert. Tsunayoshi herself goes for her steaming mug of tea, cream and with three sugars, taking a tentative sip from her cup before sighing in content.

Reborn eyed his new student with curiosity, the coffee jelly melting in his mouth. She was different from what the reports said, but that was nothing new considering that the blonde idiot had yet to so much as visit the last six years. Tsunayoshi seemed mature for her age, which was saying alot considering that the child was only ten years old. She also had this mysterious aura shrouded around her being.

Reborn sips his tea, pleasantly surprised that the girl had added a cube of sugar, it was just the way he liked it. Hmmm, how interesting. Unfortunately, it would seem his usual method of spartan training would not be effective against her. He would have to re-think his plans.

A clink of plates startled Reborn out of his thinking and he looked up to see Tsunayoshi placing the empty cups and plates back on the tray. He blinked, that's strange when did he finish the treat? It was good coffee jelly.

"Okay, now that tea is out of the way. May I ask, what are you doing here in my house, Reborn-san?"

Tsunayoshi stared expectantly at the child in front of her. She was seated upright with her legs tucked beneath her, her hands folded neatly in her lap. Good posture and polite, Reborn mused. He smirks at the brunette in front of him. At least he won't have to teach her etiquette; it would appear those mannerisms were drilled into her head since young if she was treating his baby self as she would with an adult.

"I am here to tutor you, not just in academics." Reborn starts, pulling out a black suitcase that had been situated at the foot of the bed. He clicked it open before assembling a sniper rifle in front of Tsunayoshi's eyes. "But I am also here to train you to be a Mafia wife." With that said, he points the weapon between the girl's eyes, but was disappointed to see only a hint of fear before it was gone.

"... I should have known..." Tsunayoshi breathed, letting out a sigh. Reborn raised an eyebrow, Tsunayoshi laughed before she pushed the barrel away from her eyes to stare directly at the sun acrobaleno. "Papa wasn't exactly the best at hiding his important documents. I discovered those when I was seven. They were all Italian so it took me a while but... they were all mafia documents."

Reborn cursed under his breath, disassembling his rifle too clean it. Tsunayoshi continued. "I figured that, since Papa was, I mean is, in the mafia. We'll probably be dragged into it sooner or later. I just... didn't expect it to be so soon." She let out a shaky laugh.

"I don't want to be Mafia. Actually, more like I can't. I've got another more important duty to attend to." Tsunayoshi smiles at Reborn's confused expression. "I'm afraid that secret is going to stay secret. So while I appreciate the thought, being eligible to marry a Mafia boss is the least of my concerns right now."

Before Reborn could get another word in, Tsunayoshi left the table to her walk-in closet and subsequently left the room to showerand did not re-emerge until dinner.

Dinner was a rather awkward affair, at least on Reborn and Tsunayoshi's part, Nana chattered on about the new baby their neighbour was having and about the daily gossip the neighbourhood spread. Tsunayoshi picked at her food, salisbury steak with her favourite Nana's special sauce, nibbling on her small mouthfuls of rice as Reborn stared her down.

After dinner was spent with Tsunayoshi doing her homework for the day, Reborn staring a hole into her back as she worked. The brunette then put away her completed homework and took out her beautiful red violin from the black violin case. She touched the strings tenderly, smiling a little at the feel of metal under her fingers. Tuning the violin relaxed her a little, until she remembered that Reborn was in the room watching her when he spoke.

"You play the violin?" Tsunayoshi glanced at Reborn from under her eyelashes. She contemplates not answering before she shrugged. "Is that a yes or no?" Gnawing a little on her bottom lip, she sighed in defeat before she looked up at Reborn.

She winced, his eyes are as intimidating as ever and they demanded answers. "Well..." Before she could get another word in, the windows flung open and a large gust of wind entered the room, knocking over most of the things on the study table that had been placed next to the window. The brunette quickly got to her feet, rushing to close the windows... when a large bird suddenly came out of nowhere!

It was the size of a small aeroplane but was still big enough that Tsunayoshi knew wasn't natural. Grasping her violin, she quickly closed the window. Tsunayoshi glanced at Reborn, panting a little from the effort it took to close the windows against the strong winds. "... Do you want to know what my duty is?"

Tsunayoshi was out of the house and tearing down the streets of Namimori in her rollerskates in mere minutes. She had haphazardly thrown on a hoodie over her chosen white button up short sleeved shirt and a pair of baby blue shorts, Reborn situated comfortably on the top of his student's head. The suit clad baby was throwing a very curious gaze at the violin case and the card pouch Tsunayoshi had secured to the side of her belt.

Her grip on the violin case tightened as she sensed a strong presence. She took a sharp turn, her skates squeaking in protest before she was off in the direction of the neighbourhood park.

The brunette skidded to a stop at the entrance, looking up to find the park occupied by the large bird she saw. Looking closely, she could see the weariness in its eyes and its hunched position, it was exhausted. Slowly, she approached the creature... only to be tugged back when Reborn pulled at her hair. "Tsuna! What are you thinking?! This thing is dangerous!" Reborn hissed.

"You wanted to see my duty, so let me perform it for you." Tsunayoshi hissed back, grabbing Reborn and setting him down. The bird saw the movements and curled up into a smaller ball, letting out a feeble squawk. Tsunayoshi set her violin case down to take out the red instrument within.

"It'll be okay, everything will be fine." Tsunayoshi coos as she approaches the bird once more. She sets down her violin near the bird, before holding out her hands in a placating manner. "There, see, no danger." Her fingertips reached out, stopping just before the bird's head.

The creature hesitated, moving forward a little cautiously before it snuggled closer. Snuggling into the warm hand, the bird let out a content coo. Tsunayoshi smiles and pets it, stroking the silky feathers. "You poor thing... you must be exhausted. Don't worry, I'll be here."

Picking up her previously forgotten violin, Tsunayoshi tucked the instrument under her chin. The bird watches curiously, its head tilted endearingly to the side. Tsunayoshi hums as she stands up slowly to avoid frightening the creature before her further. She twirls the bow in her right hand before Tsunayoshi teased the first few notes of Canon out before she started playing.

As she played her violin, the bird started to glow and a magic circle spun beneath their feet. The exhausted bird creature levitated for a few moments, soaking up the warm magical energy Tsunayoshi was providing it before it let out a strong caw. The magic circle and creature flashed into a blinding light, and Reborn protectively shielded his eyes from the glaring light.

It only lasted a few seconds before the darkness returned and Reborn cautiously removed his arms from the protective position it was in. His eyes fell on his student, who was smiling as she looked at what seemed to be a pink card... with the creature etched on one side of the card!

"What...?" Reborn gawked.

Tsunayoshi turns to her tutor, smiling as she hands the card over to Reborn for inspection. The sun acrobaleno looks it over and discovers a sort of magical circle that he had seen appear beneath the feet of his student as she played the violin previously was etched on the back of the card as well.

"What are you...?" Reborn breathes. His eyes locking onto Tsunayoshi's chocolate brown ones.

The girl smiles. "I am a card captor. Kind of."
