Dom: Btw, I'm in my third year of college now. Pre-med. And today, as of Oct 1, (while I'm writing this), two more weeks and my first semester will end. But my break will consist of more classes because apparently, we have to finish at least 50% of our lecture before we go to our duty in a Psychiatric hospital. So, I won't be going home to my hometown. Sad. Anyhoo, let's start!

Kagome looked at her old bedroom. It was almost bare. Most of her clothes were already packed up and her mom said that if she forgot something she'd just send it to Uncle Tsuyoshi, her brother.

'I can't believe Friday's already here,' Kagome thought. She looked up at a wall and there lies her red bow and her arrows.

She picked it up from where it was perched on and channeled her powers through it as well as the arrows. The bow and arrows kept shrinking and shrinking until it was the size of a charm. She put the now bow-and-arrows charm on her silver-chain bracelet where her twin swords and two daggers attached on it.

The silver chain bracelet was a gift from her beloved adopted son, Shippo. There were also leaves, foxes and Shippo's Fox Fire charms attached greatly representing him. She thanked Shippo several times at how thoughtful he was.

"Kagome, are you ready? You need to go or else you will be late for the train," Kun-Loon's voice reached her ears from downstairs.

"Hai! Just checking if I left something. I'll be down in a minute, Mama!" Kagome replied back. She walked to the mirror to check her reflection.

She saw herself wearing jean shorts with a brown belt and matching brown boots and a yellow ruffled spaghetti-strap shirt with a blue-striped cardigan over it. Her mid-back raven hair was flowing free.

"Do I really look like that?" Kagome asked no one in particular. Her self-esteem was down to zero. Inuyasha's constant verbal abuse finally did damage to her after months of being companions.

"Honey, Ayumi's* here!" Kun-loon told her.

"Coming!" Kagome grabbed her bag and suitcase and opened the bedroom door and ready to rush downstairs, but not before taking one last glance at her bedroom of fifteen years.

"Ayumi-chan!" Kagome hugged a girl wearing a green sailor fuku uniform. She has shoulder-length curly black hair and soft brown eyes.

Ayumi returned the hug from other girl, "Kagome-chan!" she pulled away a bit. "Are you sure about moving?" her eyes saddened.

"Yeah," Kagome nodded, "I don't want to move, but I know that this is the best for me. Don't worry. We'll still keep in touch, ne?"

"I guess so," Ayumi nodded hesitantly, "but promise me you always email or call me at least once a week alright." They both went out and down the stairs of the shrine.

"I promise. Now, you need to go or you will be late for school. Tell Eri and Yuka and Hojo about you know," Kagome rolled her eyes knowingly. They stopped at the bottom of the stairs.

"Sure," Ayumi smiled, but it dimmed a bit on what she said next, "Be careful in Namimori. You had enough of drama after the Shikon."

Kagome smiled sadly. Ayumi is the only person besides her family that she can trust with her secret. After she came back, Ayumi noticed that something was wrong with her, but never asked anything about it, only waiting for her to say anything to her and soon enough she did. She told Ayumi everything and she listened contently and never interrupted her and when she was done telling her tale, Ayumi just smiled understandingly and comforted her. Kagome was so thankful to have such a good friend. Plus, she didn't accuse her of being crazy. Then again, she showed her powers to prove it.

"I'll try not to," Kagome paused then looked at her in the eyes. "I'll miss you,"

Watery blue and teary brown eyes clashed.

"I'll miss you too," Ayumi took her hand and squeezed it.

"Kagome, sweetie, your cab is here and Ayumi-chan, you'll be late if you don't go on your way," Kun-Loon smiled sadly at the two friends as she, Souta, and Grandpa Higurashi appeared near them.

Both girls hugged each other before pulling away.

Kagome opened the cab door and put in her bags. Kagome looked at the people before her eyes and smiled one last time then proceeded to go in. As she closed the door she glanced at her friend and family and waved.

The cab drove away and soon enough it was out of their visions.

"Thank you Higurashi-san for letting me know that she's leaving today," Ayumi bowed to Kun-Loon.

Kun-Loon shook her head, "It's nothing to be thankful for. You're Kagome's best friend here so you have a right to know when she's going to leave."

"Even so Higurashi-san," Ayumi smiled.

Kun-loon giggled, "Well, go on now you'll be late for school if you don't move your feet. You too, Souta."

"Hai!" the two children answered before hurrying along.

"She'll be fine Kun-Loon," Grandpa Higurashi assured her daughter-in-law when he saw her looking where the cab disappeared to worriedly.

"But," she was cut-off.

"She dealt with worse things before. I think Kagome can handle and fend for herself back in Namimori," Grandpa Higurashi started walking back. "She's a strong girl. Your daughter."

Kun-loon looked at the direction the cab drove and smiled, "I guess you're right," she said before following her father-in-law.

With Kagome in the train

Kagome made it in time and now sat on one of the chairs. She looked around and noticed that it was pretty crowded though she was pretty sure that it will disperse sooner or later so to pass the time she took out her iPhone** and put on one of her headphones and listened to Aoi Yume by Mori Tsubasa.

By the time an hour and half passed, the train wasn't that crowded anymore. She checked her watch and it was already nine. She sighed. Two and a half more hours to go…

Kagome woke up with a start. She dozed off for just a few minutes and next thing she knows the train jerks into an abrupt stop and the speakers announcing their arrival in Namimori. She stood up and got her things and went out. She took deep breath of fresh air after being cooped up in a space where fresh air is next to nonexistent.

She glanced at her watch, "11:30? I should call Uncle to pick me up and I'm hungry too," she took out her phone and dialed her Uncle's number.

"Ohayou, Uncle!" Kagome greeted when the other line picked up, "Sorry to bother you, but, uh, can you pick me up. I'm afraid I kinda forgot my way around here," Kagome nervously laughed.

Tsuyoshi laughed heartily, "So you still get lost easily, huh Kagome-chan? It's not really a bother, Kagome-chan. You're my niece after all!"

Kagome pouted, "Mou, Uncle."

"All right, all right," Tsuyoshi's chuckles died down, "I'll be there in 15-20 minutes just let me close the shop for a little while. Don't get lost," Tsuyoshi teased, but warned at the same time.

"Hai, arigatou gozaimasu, Uncle!" Kagome said happily.

"No problem," with that the call ended.

Kagome sighed once again. She went to a nearby vending machine and bought a drink and went to sit down and listened to her music once again.

She didn't know how long she was sitting, but she saw a man in his early forties with black hair and golden brown eyes running towards her waving and smiling. She met him halfway.

"Uncle!" Kagome hugged Tsuyoshi tight, "It's been so long."

"I agree," Tsuyoshi pulled away from the embrace to look at his sister's daughter, "Wow, you've grown so beautiful, Kagome-chan."

Kagome blushed, "Um, thank you Uncle, but I really don't think I am beautiful as you think I am," Kagome's eyes were downcast.

Tsuyoshi let his smile dropped for a moment. This was not the Kagome he knew. The Kagome he knows was confident about her looks—still on a modest level—even so what happened to her while she was in Tokyo?

Kagome looked up and smiled, "Ne, Uncle let's go! I haven't eaten any breakfast so I'm really hungry and I just happen to miss your sushi. Oh and would you look at the time? It's lunch time!"

Tsuyoshi plastered his smile back on, "All-righty then," Tsuyoshi carried Kagome's suitcase with Kagome protesting, "Let's go and you happen to be lucky, little Miss, since I also made oden."

"Honto ni?" Kagome brightened, "Oh you're the best Uncle!"

"I know I am," Tsuyoshi laughed.

At the Sushi Bar

"Oh my God, Uncle, your sushi is the best!" Kagome moaned in delight as she popped another one in her mouth. "No one can even compare to your masterpiece."

Tsuyoshi chuckled, "I'm glad you think so. If you're done eating your room is ready and yes, it's the room where you use to sleep in."

"Arigato, Uncle," Kagome thanked him once again before going back to eating. After finishing her meal and thanking her generous Uncle, she went up to her room.

"Wow! It still looks the same," Kagome looked around the room wistfully. She put her suitcase near the full-sized bed and plopped down on the whitish-blue covers.

The room was plain with blue walls and purple borders. There was a desk and a chair for her to work on her schoolwork. Wooden drawers are on either side of the bed and there was also a closet for her clothes; windows for air and for the sunlight to stream in.

"I miss this house," Kagome commented, "and I miss Namimori," she added. She stood up from her place in the bed and decided to unpack her things. After at least an hour passed, she once again plopped down on her bed tiredly. She was about to close her eyes for a short nap when her uncle called her.

"Kagome, can you come down for a minute?"

"Hmmm? Okay, I'm coming!" Kagome replied as her uncle's voice drifted to her ears. She ran down the stairs with a couple trips here and there before reaching her uncle who was behind the counter making sushi for the customers.

"Oh, Kagome-chan!" Tsuyoshi exclaimed, "If you don't mind, can you help me a bit around the shop?" Tsuyoshi asked when he looked up from his work.

"Yeah, I don't mind Uncle. It's the least I can do around here," Kagome told him as Tsuyoshi hands her an apron.

"Thank you!" Tsuyoshi said watching her tie the apron around her, "Can you write down the orders for me? Today is a busy day since it's the last day of vacation here in Namimori," Tsuyoshi informed her.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Tokyo and Namimori sure works differently," Kagome said while she ties her hair in a ponytail and got out some pen and paper.

A family of five entered the sushi shop and sat on an available table and waited for someone to take their orders.

"Be right back, Uncle," Kagome smiled to her uncle before walking to the group.

"Hi, I'm Kagome and I will be your server for today. If you have any questions you are welcome to ask and please enjoy your stay," Kagome gave them her award-winning smile.

The family smiled back at their server's politeness and proceeded to order the family special.

"Coming right up," Kagome wrote down their order, "and your drinks?"

"Green tea would be fine Miss Kagome," the head of the family said.

"Okay, then. One order of the family special and green tea good for five coming right up," Kagome jotted down the last few words before walking away to tell her Uncle about the order then going to another customer to take their orders.

It was like that the whole day, she wrote down the orders, informed her Uncle then served the food and drinks back at the customer. It was tedious and tiring job, luckily, for her it's time to close down the shop.

"Thank you for eating at TakeSushi! Come back soon and hope you have a good night!" Kagome smiled and waved at her last customers for the day before flipping the sign to "close" then slid the door closed.

The other workers bid goodbye to Kagome and Tsuyoshi after a long tiring work at the shop.

"That was exhausting, Uncle. I can never imagine that being a waitress can be so hard," Kagome sat down on of the stools in front of the counter.

"Well, you worked double time on a busy day. No wonder it's hard. The job's easier if Takeshi was here helping you," Tsuyoshi told her while wiping the counter.

Kagome straightened up at the mention of her cousin's name, "Where is Takeshi-kun?"

"He's on a trip with his friends."

"I didn't know his team goes into trips aside from baseball camps," Kagome mused.

Tsuyoshi looked up in confusion before shaking his head, "No, no. He's not with his team. He met a group of kids later in his freshman year and ever since then he's been hanging out with them."

"So he found new friends. I'm glad he did unlike his 'friends' in his team," Kagome put some air quotes around friends when she was talking about Takeshi's team. Because of them using her cousin to win their games, it led Takeshi to try to commit suicide! She was infuriated to say the least when she was informed, but at least now he found true friends, "So when is he coming back?"

"I don't know. He said he might come back today or tomorrow. It depends on what time the ship docks," Tsuyoshi said as he continues cleaning up.

"Ship? Whoa, is he on a cruise or something?" Kagome asked, impressed.

"Apparently," Tsuyoshi shrugged.

"How the heck did they afford to go to a cruise at this time of the year?" Kagome stared at her Uncle in surprise while watching her language in front of him.

"I honestly have no idea. They were going on a private island or something between those lines," he confessed.

"Lucky," Kagome muttered under her breath.

Tsuyoshi chuckled at his niece's actions, "Hai, he's very lucky. Anyway, how's your mother? Souta and Higurashi-san too?"

"They're fine, Uncle. Souta is still a brat and Grandpa still gives me some weird fossils that are probably not real and Mom is still the same," Kagome answered.

"What about you? Did something exciting happen in your life?" Tsuyoshi prodded.

Kagome's eyes dimmed a bit, "Iie, not at all," Kagome lied.

Tsuyoshi looked skeptical, "Are you sure, Kagome-chan? You know you can tell me anything, right?"

'If anything you mean, getting dragged by a hideous demon then shattering the Shikon and going into an adventure with my newfound friends 500 years back in the past where I always run for my life and trying to kill a hanyou and successfully defeating him after months of hunting him down and then got sent back on my 15th birthday. If that's your definition of anything I think you'll send me to the cuckoo shop the second I spit out the word demon,' Kagome thought grumpily.

"I'm sure, Uncle. By the way, you said you made oden. Where is it?" Kagome said changing the subject.

Tsuyoshi laughed, "You never change, do you?"

"Nope! And I never will!" Kagome smiled cheekily.

Tsuyoshi got out two bowls of oden for each of them. They talked about their lives in Namimori and Tokyo and what they missed. Both were laughing and having a good time. But then…

"Oyaji, tadaima," a tired male voice rang as the door of the restaurant slides open.

There standing before them was a tall teenager who's 5'8 in height with golden brown eyes and spiky hair and tanned skin. He is wearing blue jeans, red converse, and a plain shirt with a blue jacket. He was smiling. Was is the keyword since he froze when he registered there was a girl, a little older than him, sitting on one of the stools with his father.

"Takeshi-kun?" the girl questioned with a tilt of her head.

"K-Kagome-nee-chan?" the boy, 'Takeshi', asked with a disbelief tone in his voice.

Kagome giggled and stood up to hug her cousin who got taller over the years. Her 5'3 seems so small compare to his 5'8, "You remember me! I'm so glad," Kagome buried her face in his chest as his scent of rain and pine trees assaulted her nose.

Dropping his bags in the process, Takeshi slowly got out of his stupor and hugged back, "Of course I remember. I can't ever forget you," Takeshi replied softly putting his nose at the crown of Kagome's head and smelling her natural fragrance of snow and lavender, "I miss you so much, Kagome-nee."

Kagome smiled when she felt his cousin's arms tightening the hug, "I miss you too, otouto."

Tsuyoshi pulled out a camera to capture the moment. He made a mental note to send a copy to his sister when it was developed. He quickly put it away when the two cousins pulled away from their embrace and sat down on the stools.

"When did you arrive?" Takeshi asked.

"Just this noon," Kagome answered then added, "Guess what, I'm going to attend Nami-chuu with you."

"Really? Wow, this keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to introduce you to Tsuna and the others!" Takeshi laughed cheerfully.

"Say, tell me more about this 'Tsuna' person. From how you speak so fondly of him, I'm going to guess that he's the one who saved you from jumping off the building?"

Takeshi looked surprised, "How'd you know about that?" Takeshi bowed his head in shame. He's not really proud of that particular action of his and he really doesn't want his sister-figure to know about it either.

"I told her, son. She called me and it slipped out," Tsuyoshi said apologetically.

"That's alright, Dad," Takeshi smiled and his dad nodded back. He excused himself to give the cousins a chance to catch up.

Hours passed and Kagome and Takeshi were still talking. It wasn't until Tsuyoshi chided them to go to sleep when they stopped. They hugged once again while telling each other their "good nights". Takeshi promised Kagome to help her enroll to Nami-chuu and get her uniform tomorrow.

Kagome's room

Kagome wore shorts and a plain black shirt in bed. She was dead tired, but was happy at the same time. The moment her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep immediately proving how exhausted she is.

Kagome's Dream

"Wh-Where am I?" Kagome looked around in panic. All around her was a void of nothingness. All black. Nothing in sight. Zero.

It reminded of her time in the jewel.

"Kagome-dear," a woman said behind her.

Kagome screamed in surprise and pulled out her twin swords from her charm bracelet in self-defense then pointed at her 'attacker'.

"Calm down, it's only I," the woman tried to placate the young miko.

"Mi-Midoriko-sama!" Kagome's eyes widened, "Sumimasen. I thought you were somebody else. G-Gomen nasai!" Kagome bowed low at the powerful and beautiful woman before her.

And indeed she was. Long flowing black hair that reaches her knees, light brown eyes with purple eye-shadow. She was wearing a warrior's outfit*** with a sword by her side, but the one thing that stands out was the mark on her forehead.

"It's not your fault. It is I for not alerting my presence. However, there is someone who wants to talk to you," Midoriko informed her. "He will arrive shortly. This won't be the last time, Kagome-chan. We'll meet again someday." she disappeared again. Her only job was to take her successor here in this plane and let her talk to the person who wishes to meet her.

"M-Matte! Who wants to talk to me?" Kagome shouted.

"I do. I was the one who requested Midoriko-sama to get you here," a baritone voice rang out.

Kagome whirled around to see who talked and her jaw dropped. Because in front of her was a handsome man with a powerful aura surrounding him.

He was wearing a black suit with white pinstripes and a white undershirt with a black tie. He's also wearing a long cape with a golden decorated attachment on it. The stranger has spiky golden blond hair with an orange flame on it; the same hue of his eyes. On his hands were gloves with a crest that's unfamiliar to her with the Roman numeral of one in the center of said crest.

"W-Who are you?" Kagome asked shakily. Despite that she met a lot of strong demons in her quest, something was telling her that even though this man before isn't, she shouldn't mess with him.

"My name is not of as importance right now," he started, but was cut off.

"The hell it isn't!" Kagome interrupted him and was about to continue more until he held out a hand.

"I cannot talk to you for much longer so will you please listen to me?" the man pleaded.

Kagome looked at the pleading man and reluctantly nodded, "All right, Blondie, talk."

The right eyebrow of the man twitched slightly at what he was dubbed with, but ignored it since there are far more relevant things to talk about, "I need your help," he told her bluntly.

"From what?" Kagome's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"It's not exactly for me, but for my descendent. He's wants, no, needs you to be one of his Guardians."

"A Guardian? Is your descendant a baby? As much as I would like to take care of a baby, I think there are more suitable people to take him. Besides I'm 15!" Kagome gestures to herself.

The man quickly shakes his head in negative, "No, I meant a Guardian. A Protector. Not a parental guardian."

Kagome's mouth formed an 'O'.

The man sighed at the teen's antics before continuing, "If a baby wearing a yellow pacifier asks you to join something, accept it. You are the most suitable job for it because you hold a rare flame and my descendent needs someone like you."

"W-Wait, wait a minute! What the hell are you talking about? A rare flame? The 'rare' things about me are my eyes and my powers! And who is your descendant anyway? You kept mentioning it and a baby?!" Kagome is confused. Million of questions are bouncing in her head and she needs the answers and she wants it right now.

"I cannot answer your questions right now, little one," the man spoke suddenly as if sensing Kagome's thoughts, "Do what I say and all will be explained, I promise you. My time is up, I'm afraid. Please protect my descendent with your dying will," those were the last words of the man before disappearing.

"The fuck?"

BBBRRRRIIIINNGG!

End Dreamscape

Kagome woke up at the shrilling sound of the alarm clock near her bed. She groaned and rolled over. She turned the alarm off and sat up. She rubbed her eyes to rid of the sleepiness and looked around, 'This is not my room,' Kagome thought sleepily.

Memories of yesterday bombarded her head, "Oh yeah, I'm in Namimori at Uncle's house," Kagome mumbled. She removed her whitish blue cover off of her person and went to the bathroom to wash her face, brush her teeth and combed her hair then she went down for breakfast.

"Morning," Kagome yawned.

"Morning, Kagome-chan," Tsuyoshi greeted as well as Takeshi, "Good morning!" he greeted cheerfully.

Kagome sat down on her seat and muttered darkly to her cousin, "How the hell can you be so damn cheerful at this bloody hour?"

"Ma, ma no need to be grouchy, Kagome-chan, I got used to it after going to morning practices for baseball, haha," Takeshi said while downing some milk.

Kagome scoffed at that before eating the omurice laid down by her Uncle. Sure, she was used to waking up early because of Inuyasha's insistence, but it doesn't mean she likes it.

Takeshi smiled at his cousin before eating as well.

"Are you two going to Nami-chuu for Kagome-chan's enrollment?" Tsuyoshi asked suddenly.

Takeshi swallowed his food first before replying a verbal answer of 'yes' while Kagome simply nodded. She's not very talkative after she wakes up. Too much effort.

"Takeshi, show your cousin around Namimori too so she won't get lost when she decides to go grocery shopping," Tsuyoshi kindly ordered.

"Hai!"

Timeskip to Monday (truthfully I don't want to write about what they did for the weekend I want Kagome to meet Takeshi's friends and Reborn too)

Kagome dreaded the day to come, but alas, Monday still came. Why, you ask. It's because it's her first day of school in Nami-chuu, that's why.

Kagome was looking at herself in the mirror. She was currently adorning the Nami-chuu's uniform of black skirt, a white undershirt and red tie with a blue vest. She was supposed to wear a bow, but she insisted that she wants to wear a tie instead so they let her.

She was nervously fidgeting and biting her lip. She just wants to hide under her bed and not come out until school is over.

Takeshi was looking at his cousin amusedly from his place at the doorway. He slowly saunters to her and hugged her from behind for comfort. She usually does this to him every time he's nervous about his game, but now it's his turn. It's his turn to comfort his sister; "You'll be fine, Kagome-nee, besides Sasagawa-sempai is in the same classroom as you do. Remember him? You used to hang out with him when you were still living here. I bet he still remember you."

"Takeshi, I don't know if I can do this," Kagome pulled away from him and sat down on her bed.

Takeshi followed her and took her hand comfortingly, "Relax. Every time you think you have nervous breakdown, take deep breaths and you will calm your nerves down and then smile that beautiful smile of yours," Takeshi pinched her cheek.

Kagome giggled, "Thank you, Takeshi-kun," she kissed his cheek.

Takeshi laughed, "It's no big deal. C'mon we have to walk with Tsuna and Gokudera too," Takeshi pulled her hand and they took their things. Soon enough they are out of the house and walking in the direction of Vongola Decimo's house.

When they arrived at their destination, someone was already there. He has octopus-like silver hair, emerald eyes, and a frown on his face. He, like Takeshi, is wearing the Nami-chuu's uniform for boy that consists of dark pants, an undershirt with blue tie, and a blue vest/jacket.

The difference between the two was that Takeshi is not wearing the tie and his vest and undershirt weren't tucked in. The teen though was wearing his tie loose and instead of a vest he's wearing a jacket that was unbutton. He has chains and multiple rings on his fingers.

"Che, Yakyuu-baka, what are you doing here?" the teen spat out. "Oh, did you bring your girlfriend too?" the teen noticed Kagome by his side.

Kagome shook his head, "No, I'm his cousin, Higurashi Kagome and you might be…"Kagome let the sentence trailed off.

The teen inspected her for a moment deeming if he's worth his time or not and approve she's probably not as bad as Yamamoto, "Gokudera Hayato," he grunted.

"Nice to meet you," Kagome bowed while Gokudera nodded.

The three heard some thuds, gunshots, a girly scream, voices, the word "REBORN" and more thuds and looked over to the house.

A small frail boy standing at 5'1 is clumsily getting out of the door. He has spiky brown hair and matching brown eyes. Like the other two boys he's wearing the uniform except that he was the only one wearing it correctly.

When Kagome saw the younger boy, she suddenly remembered her dream a couple nights ago.

'Blondie?' Kagome thought, 'No, he's too weak and clumsy to be that guy I met in my dream. Wait, is he the descendent he's talking about?' Something caught Kagome's eyes and she turned towards it discreetly. She moved her body a bit so she can either defend or attack easily at the offender. Her hands slowly inched towards her charm bracelet.

'Hmmm, that girl noticed me,' a certain Arcobaleno mused to himself in the bushes, 'Who could she be? There is no ill intent surrounding her, but I can never be too sure. If she's not a threat to Dame-Tsuna, she can be a very good ally in the future for Vongola,' he completely masked his presence so the girl wouldn't sense him again.

Back to the teenagers, Tsuna ran towards his friends and apologizes, "Gomen, gomen. I overslept again. I hope I didn't make you wait too long."

"That's fine, Tsuna. Oh, yeah meet my cousin," Takeshi nudged Kagome.

"Higurashi Kagome. I'm Takeshi-kun's cousin," Kagome bowed.

Tsuna bowed as well, "Sa-sawada Ts-tsunayoshi, but you can call me Tsuna."

Kagome giggled at his cute stuttering, "Tsuna it is. You can also call me Kagome. No san, sama, or sempai."

"Sempai?" Tsuna asked.

"I'm a third year, you see," Kagome told him.

Before any words can be exchange, a baby wearing a black suit with a fedora and green chameleon on it showed up and kicked Tsuna in the head, "If you keep standing around like an idiot you'll be late for school, Dame-Tsuna."

Kagome immediately went on guard when the baby showed up, but her eyes were drawn on what was around his neck. A yellow pacifier.

'Is he the baby Blondie is talking about?' Kagome asked herself in disbelief, "Wait a minute, h-he's the one who was hiding in the bushes earlier, b-but I thought that person left. He's not an ordinary baby if he can conceal himself from me. What is he? Better yet how strong is that baby?"

"Ciaossu, I believe we haven't met yet. I'm Reborn, tutor of Dame-Tsuna," Reborn introduced himself to the girl.

Kagome stared at him uncertainly, "Kagome. Higurashi Kagome, nice to meet you."

Reborn smirked glad that someone was wary around him despite that he's a baby, "Nice to meet you too. Now why don't the four of you move along before a certain someone bites you to death."

The four agreed and ran to the school determined not to be late at the first day of the school after vacation.

However, before they can take one step to the school's property the bell rang officially deeming them as tardy. To make matters worse, someone decided to teach them a lesson for being late.

In front of them was the notorious chairman of the Disciplinarian Committee wearing the uniform of the said Committee. A dress shirt and black pants while his jacket is on his shoulders and his armband is around on one of the sleeves of his jacket. His gleaming tonfas that were within his hands were poised to attack them.

"Herbivores, you are late for school and for that prepare to be bitten to death," a certain prefect growled. His metallic blue eyes glared at them while his raven hair slightly moved as a breeze blew a bit.

The prefect made his move, but before he can land a hit on one of them a familiar feminine voice called to him, halting his movements in surprise.

"Kyoya-nii?" Kagome called out hesitantly as her three companions also looked at her in surprise.
