I know this one is kind short, but the next one's gonna be pretty long(I think), so please look forward to it~

You do realize that up till now you haven't been including a disclaimer, right?

0.0... Uhh...

Disclaimer: I own nothing except my laptop, my cat, and the 1st volume of Reborn!

... Doesn't that sound suspiciously similar to a certain other author on here...?

Yeah, but she doesn't own the 1st volume of Reborn! does she?

...

... Look it's not my fault we own similar stuff! I'll change it next time ok?


Ch.3 Keep Your Enemies Close and Your Friends Closer, Cause you Never Know When They Might Turn Out to be in the Mafia

Miyabi walked the well-known path with her schoolbag in hand. It wasn't the path to her house, but to the home of a certain childhood friend. Said friend was walking next to her, noticeably less jumpy than yesterday, but still seeming unsure of how to take the present situation.

The path hadn't changed much since she had last walked it. Hadn't that been back in the 4th grade? She reflected that she probably had Auntie to thank for being able to come back so quickly after the last visit.

Miyabi sat at the small table in Tsuna's room, while the boy himself sat at the side to her left. Her hands were clasped together as her head rested on them as though in a silent prayer, maybe she was. Her eyes were closed as she thought over everything she had just been told.

"So… in short, you are the next in line to head a mafia family, he," She slowly opened her eyes to look at the suit-clad toddler, indicating him, "is your tutor, and he is in the possession of bullets that when fired will kill someone, but then revive them with the strength of their own… will, and grant them inhuman strength. However these effects only last around 5 minutes. Did I leave anything out?"

"Sounds about right," the baby confirmed her words while Tsuna continued fidgeting in his seat.

Miyabi studied the two for a few moments longer before sighing as she shifted her position, letting her head fully rest on her right hand as the other merely fell to the table.

"And what if I were to say I didn't believe a word of it?"

"Well, there's always a live demonstration," the baby said as the distinctive 'click' of a cocked gun was heard.

"Then for morality's sake I'll trust your words."

"Morality's sake?"

Miyabi could just barely make out the miniscule arching of a single, tiny eyebrow in the shadow of the baby's fedora.

"Unless I'm mistaken one of the side effects of the bullet is the loss of clothing articles. I'd preferably like to avoid that situation."

"Hmm, fair enough I suppose," the baby responded as he replaced the gun wherever he had pulled it from.

"Tsuna," She said, finally turning her attention to the subject of this whole discussion, "If you don't mind, I have a request."

"Eh?"

She closed her eyes, contemplating her decision before reopening them with determination, "I want to become a part of your family. According to your story you've already gathered several others, so I want to join as well."

Tsuna stared, slack-jawed, with his eyes bulging. He had no idea how to respond. Was there even an appropriate response for a situation like this?

Reborn, on the other hand, handled it in a much more refined manner, "Oh? And what could possibly compel you to want to join a mafia family?"

"The way I see it, that's the only way I can be of any help at this point. Tsuna's never been in charge of anything before, much less a mafia family. I'd be beyond worried if I left him on his own in this kind of situation."

"You sound like you've made up your mind."

"I have," she responded simply.

It was then that the front door could be heard, revealing the prescence of a fourth party, "Tsu-kun, I'm home! ~ Oh? Tsu-kun! These are girl's shoes!"

Auntie had been rather excitedwhen she had discovered it was Miyabi, and had insisted that she come back the next day and have dinner with them. Miya couldn't bring herself to reject Auntie's request, and so here she was once again on the way to Tsuna's house.

She had expected the dinner to be like those that she had been a part of when they were little. Many times they would take turns eating at each other's house. She truly thought that this one would be no different.

Although she had more or less understood what she had been told the day before, the truth and reality of Tsuna's situation hadn't really hit home until they rounded the corner onto Tsuna's street. That's when they saw several dozen men in classy suits all situated in front of Tsuna's house.
