A/N: EDIITTTTTTTTT::::: (1/3/12)

IMPORTANTTTTTTTT

NAH. I'M SERIOUS PLEASE READ.

So, you guys remember the time I said that I was going to rewrite this? I JUST DIDDDDD WHOOOOO. Okay… so. There. I strongly advise reading the whole thing from the very start. I made modifications that MIGHT affect the story as a whole. So please.. just do J

It's better ( I think) actually. It focuses less on my OC. Which I hope makes her less mary-sue. Which I think would do good for OC haters out there.

I'm putting up this notice on every chapter just to make sure…

"It's the effect of your determination to get the safe. She herself had put the barrier around that thing to prevent others from getting her place. It's her brand of cunning you see, she believes that embarrassment can drive people a long way," Mukuro placidly said, "I reckon you had said something you hadn't intended to say a while ago while searching for the safe, right?"

But all Tsuna could say was, "Forget. All. About. It."

Well? I'm getting fidgety over here the damn safe already!Tsuna looked around. "Who said that?" he asked. He looked at Mukuro in question while the man pointed at the safe. Tsuna took it as a signal to open the "damn safe" already. Well, it's worth trying, he thought. I trust Mukuro all my life, the chain that connects us symbolizes that.

Now walking toward the safe with full confidence as everybody drew their breaths as one, he reached out to the lock of the safe, twiddling the combination that his intuition informed him of... and then all of the sudden as the last number was entered...click. Adrenaline rushed through Tsuna's veins as he took a defensive stance. Everybody watched intently, waiting to see what would happen. Even Xanxus forgot all about Mukuro so as to look at the safe. Hibari had also shown interest in what was inside the case by taking up Xanxus' place of glaring at Mukuro and showing a killing intent in his eyes for the mist guardian and occasionally glancing at Tsuna.

Just for a while, Tsuna doubted his actions. What if this is all a trap? What if the Mukuro here is someone's illusion to get him? Slowly, he felt his flame dissipating.

But what he saw inside was definitely not a bomb. His instincts didn't go nuts about an invisible gas either. All it held was an eleven-inch handsomely polished stick with ancient engravings on it. And beside it were loads of bottles with liquid in it each.

"Continue doubting and your flame will disappear entirely," said a voice. But as Tsuna turned around, what he saw nearly made his eyes pop out. There, standing in front of him with arms crossed was the girl with blue hair and gray eyes. Everybody's jaw dropped as they saw her. So! She was the one Tsuna was talking about.

Neonina, seeing the awestruck looks on their faces had a funny look on her face, Tsuna noticed. Wait, isn't that the kind of face she had put up when he asked whether she's a mind reader. But instead of controlling it like last time, she had burst out loud laughing.

Clearly, this annoyed Hibari due to the racket she was making, so steel tonfas loosely hung at his sides, he approached the newcomer. "Making a commotion with your laughter is against discipline," he remarked. At this, Neonina stopped abruptly then asked, "What? You're going to discipline me?" then resumed her laughter. Apparently, being ignored and laughed at wasn't in Hibari's dictionary so the result was a throbbing vein in his forehead and a tighter grip on his tonfas as he prepared to strike.

Tsuna could only suppress a groan. What is she planning baiting Hibari like that? Even though he could beat the skylark easily now, it still takes a lot of effort to do so.

Neonina can see and hear no doubt about that. She could see the vein pulsing on Hibari's forehead as he prepared to attack. She could hear the groan Tsuna let out. They all think that a young girl who had all looks is a million years too early to bait Hibari like that...

But they underestimated her strength. She just tutted to herself as she rolled on the floor to dodge Hibari's tonfa that was aimed to her head. Her laughter dying as she made a movement to stand up, she rushed up to the safe then took out her wand with the engravings on it.

Standing up, she ducked to dodge another blow on the head again. Hibari would have gotten her if she didn't twist her trunk and said, "Petrificus Totalus!"

If everyone's jaws were dropped at her appearance, dropped some more when she goaded Hibari, mouth's wider when she dodged Hibari's blows, nobody can picture how their jaws hit the ground when Hibari's arms snapped to his sides then fell with a thud on the ground done by a complete stranger whose name is Neonina.

"H-hahi!" Haru said worriedly. "What happened to Kyoya?" As she rushed to her husband and looked him over. Neonina couldn't help but notice the tinge of nostalgia and hurt look that passed Tsuna's face. Sakura had rushed forward to check on Hibari. "His pulse rate is normal. He is not responding but he's not asleep either. Nobody can sleep with their eyes open!"

"He's fine. The spell will be removed by midnight. Just lay him down on a nice comfortable bed and by tomorrow, he'll probably chase my ass off," Neonina said. "Umm... just who are you miss ahh..." asked Poppet cautiously. "It's Neonina, just call me that," cut in Neonina.

"Well, if there's nothing wrong with him, Neonina, what do you call the state he's in?" asked Haru. Again, nobody but Neonina had seen the jealousy flash across Tsuna's face to be hidden as he pulled on his bangs with his left hand. But she pretended not to notice and answered Haru's question.

"Ah. I have him under the full body-bind curse. Just like being petrified. But in this case, he," jerking a thumb at Hibari who was currently being carried by Lambo to the couple's bedroom upstairs. "is aware of what's going on around him. He can hear us. See us. But not talk to us. Get it?"

"He'll be fine right?" Haru interrogated further. "Yes, he will," came the reply. "I-I'll go upstairs to tend to him. A-and if Mukuro-san trusts you... I guess there is nothing really wrong with you then. He has helped us many times already," this time, Tsuna glared at Mukuro which once again went by unnoticed except for Neonina and now, Mukuro, "and also, Tsuna... I'm happy you're alive." She added before dashing after Lambo to the room.

"You're going to have your ass grilled and handed over to wild beasts the moment Hibari snaps out of it," Reborn absently commented.

Deep silence ensued after that. To be broken by, Neonina who said seeing the faraway look that shock could give to a person marked on the past mafia boss' face, "Well... I guess the party can stop now. Tsunayoshi is looking tired and weary,"

And with a wave of her wand, the safe had vanished where it had been standing last. "I'm going to take you back to your room in the bakery, Tsuna," she informed. Tsuna still shocked, couldn't reply as she took him by the arm and as they turned with a swish of her cloak and a loud pop.

Nobody commented. Nobody even made a noise. Finally, nodding to each other, and saying to one another that there are things that are not yet discovered and best if just ignored and let be, they set off for their works and homes. The person who had taken up Iemitsu's place was carefully helping Nana and Timeteo on a car headed straight for home as Mukuro made a beeline for the bakery to be followed by Xanxus who's got nothing better to do.

Tsuna was very thunder-struck indeed. A while ago, he couldn't help but letting out some of his collected pent-up feelings even just for a flash. Good thing nobody noticed it. Except for the glare he sent Mukuro. He thinks that the man noticed it, because he had kept looking at him. Then, there it was, Haru, his moon— his PAST moon, he got a feeling of Hibari glaring at him for even thinking about that, anyway Haru, Haru had said that she was happy. To hear her say it, it was a relief because that meant that she doesn't hate him but... but saying that is like her saying that she doesn't seem to notice whether he dies over and over again because his will won't allow him to as if he had just went to someplace else.

This had hurt. As if saying that she doesn't care anymore. And there was her panic over Hibari when all she said to him was that she was happy. Even though Tsuna himself had already accepted the truth that they were nothing more and even less than what they call 'friends' he can't help but grimace over the fact that he can't love Haru anymore and to be distant with her so as not to break the relationship she had built for herself for years of hard work. And because of that, Tsuna felt guilty about feeling a small part of himself cheering madly when Neonina had put a curse on Hibari. He knew he shouldn't be happy for that, because after all, he IS his cloud guardian.

Realizing and sorting out his feelings and emotions helped a lot. It seemed that his burdens were eased even though he hadn't got what he wanted. Well, good thing that nobody noticed it because if someone did, it would be a total wreck to explain things and such—

But he was cut short by Neonina who sat him abruptly on his bed and said, "here, Tsuna rest well," but before she could force him to lie down, Tsuna asked, "Exactly who are you?" Neonina looked startled but answered anyway, "Of course, I should know you'd be asking this for a while now... well, to start off, you already know that my name is Neonina… and I'm a witch. In Giotto's time my parents were killed by an evil fuck who was steadily getting stronger as years pass. Muggles, non-magic folk, feels signs of dark and defensive magic among them but not see it. It was… not pleasant. The dark lord's mark is an ugly shit of some sort. Every time, this was set off into the sky by himself or one of his inner circle, it means that someone was killed just below where the mark has been seen. During the dark lord's reign, you can't pass a day without seeing the mark in the sky numerous times. Everybody who stood up to him ended up dead, young and old, muggles or wizards, anybody, they don't care who. And my parents couldn't take it anymore.

"They knew they don't stand a chance against that ugly fuck of a wizard that ever stepped the planet, so they searched and searched for something, anything that would be able to conquer the dark lord. And the fruit of their hard work? They found a very complex spell, it shows that it can overtake a world or defeat anybody no matter how strong he or she is in a snap. Well, problem solved right? But no, it wasn't. The spell requires the life of two souls who are determined. What choice do they have left? Everybody was suffering, and here, they had found a solution to it, who in their right minds would waste it? My parents were friends with the First. So entrusting me to him, they fought the evil sorcerer. Their deaths weren't in vain, the terror lifted; the dark lord's faithful supporters had succumbed. The others were released convincing the Ministry that they were under the Imperius curse and the others who doesn't have brains and weren't able to slip under the Ministry's fingers were locked up in Azkaban.

"And me? Stuck under the infliction of mafia. Primo took good care of me. He told me all about my parents. Them being different than the rest, their bravery and everything he knew about them. I knew that some of those were a little bit of more than what they really are, but I didn't care, I was grateful for being with a family. And as I had said, I don't mind that the Vongola kills many since they do it to protect the family. But in the case of the dark lord's reign, I was disgusted, they kill for fun. They kill many just so they can have fucking FUN.

"And so when I turned 11, a grown wizard showed up at the estate and explained to me what Giotto didn't know. After that, he gave me a letter from the Wizarding School that wishes to inform me that I had been accepted into their academy. Giotto supplied me money to convert into wizard money in an alley so that I can buy the essential supplies for a neophyte student like me. There, I learned thousands of fascinating things. I was so absorbed in it that I read all books concerning wizardry that comes my way. And with that, I became the top student

"Well, after I graduated, I received many job opportunities from the Ministry, but I ignored it all. I went to knockturn alley. But I had no choice; it's the only place to be seen in Britain that's devoted to dark arts. There, I learned the three forbidden and unforgivable curses. I learned spells that are totally gruesome. But I can bear it as long as I say to myself that I'm doing this so that I can aid Primo in executions. I thought that if they can die a painless death, Giotto's conscience won't be too bothered especially if we were to do it on a person whom he thought was his friend.

"Suddenly a thought occurred to me. Now that I'm strong enough and perhaps in possession of more spells than anyone could dream of. I abandoned the damned place. I was very happy to see sunshine again. To see smiles that are pure and not the smiles that are due to dark thoughts like the ones in the alley usually gave me. I put a disillusionment charm on myself and my broomstick so I wouldn't be seen in broad daylight as I fly toward the Vongola headquarters. But when I reached the headquarters, I had to do a double-take. Was I seeing double?There were two bosses in front of me.

"The only thing is that the few difference in height. I can't know what's going on if I don't ask so I took out my wand and did the counter-curse for disillusionment charms. He was quite startled when he saw me. But before I could ask anything, Giotto said, 'Ah, Neonina. Meet the Vongola heir, the second.'Just then, I remembered that primo couldn't live forever and there will always be a replacement. I realized that knowing more spells than anybody in the world isn't enough if I was to serve generations to pass. So after a week of staying and getting to know more about new recruits especially Ricardo who like Xanxus easily blows a fuse in Italy, I set off to find the unbeatable wand, the elder wand. Actually, it was pretty hard to track it down, since its bloody trail had stopped somewhere near the middle ages. I had to duel many people who got in my way to get to the wand, there had been some close shaves from really powerful wizards. Its last owner died peacefully so the powers it held vanished into just an every normal wand. I have no use for a normal wand so instead; I copied its properties to produce a wand that shall never be beaten. After many epic projects, there it is, a wand like no other.

"But when I returned, I noticed that I haven't been able to keep up with time. I saw Ricardo, from the teenager he had once been, what I saw was a strong and sturdy man who was currently wearing the Vongola ring. And Giotto? Weakly lying on his bed. I was on the brim of tears when I saw him. When I had been power-hungry he had been fighting alone. I should have realized that being near him was enough and I need not be strong since his strength was sufficient enough to protect the family.

"I asked, 'what can I do to make up to you?' He replied, 'help the tenth in his life in the future. His ordeal will be the hardest job anyone will receive. Dismantling the family.' Those were his last words. So I did as I was told, I asked Ricardo to put my safe in the Vongola crypt together with my things. And I got one of the wands I had acquired when I was duelling from my robe and put numerous protective and offensive charms around it. Only the tenth himself or a person who would surely show the safe to the tenth will be able to see and touch it without getting hurt, but can't help but spill out some of their secrets. And after that, I disappeared. I had figured out that Ricardo can raise the family by himself well enough without my help. After that, I had seeked refuge in limbo where I had walked on for hundreds of years. Until finally, you were born. I had watched you everyday of your life. I had made a copy of your everyday life instead of just my memories. So I had known all your secrets, your behavior, your every move, your personality. I got scolded by Giotto many times for invading your privacy, but I pointed it out to him that the look on his face said that he was very interested in your everyday life too. So we got even.

"And now I'm free, I'm going to continue my mission. The reason I'm here from the start. To guide you, to make you happy and content. Your days as a mafia boss are over. You may not get everything you wanted in this state but at least, the things you wanted and got are the fruition of hard work. And I'm here to help you reach your goals and keep you happy... satisfied?

Tsuna can't help but notice Neonina's watery eyes when she had reached the part when the first had died. So he asked, "How do you feel about Giotto?" Neonina looked at him for a short while before replying, "I consider him as my father. He took good care of me, he considered me as if I'm one of his own I already told you that, and the rest is just... father-daughter relationship,"

"And before I forget, here," thrusting a small vial in Tsuna's hands that contained a pinkish liquid that she got from the pocket of her robes, "drink that. It will prevent giving you bad dreams. That will be my first step to help you be happy. A drop every night will do. And if ever you run out, just ask me for more."

"That will really help," Mukuro suddenly said. Neonina and Tsuna both jumped. "MUKURO! You don't have to startle us!"

"Well, the door was ajar..." Mukuro said playfully, "and why am I the one only to be scold? When Xanxus followed me without permission?"

"Xanxus what?" asked a very confused Tsuna. "Well, you should be glad I came. Because if I didn't know that you're not a traitor and you only want to make this brat happy, I would have torn you to shreds," growled Xanxus from behind Mukuro.

"Ahh... Xan-chan," Neonina said teasingly. Everyone chuckled. Xanxus' ears went red. "Xan-chan" was what Tsuna's split personality, Chibi, called him. Trying to save himself from shame, Xanxus glared. And he glared. And he glared some more. If looks could kill, all of them would have been in their deathbeds by now; Neonina made a mental note to use the first syllable of his name future and drop the honorific in the future to save herself from going back so early in limbo.

"Well, tuck in," Neonina said encouragingly nodding toward the direction of the vial. Tsuna smiled, opening the cork, he gulped a mere drop. At once, he felt drowsy. Mukuro, sensing his drowsiness, hurried forward to catch him in time as his eyes closed and carefully settled Tsuna down on the bed.

"Neonina... tell me the truth, what else were the effects of the potion?" Mukuro asked quietly. "WHAT?" roared Xanxus immediately grabbing the girl by her collar, "What did you do to him?"

Neonina glared at Mukuro's direction then sighed and then said, "Chill, Xan... idiot Mu just made a mistake of using a tone that made everyone think that I poisoned him. Anyway, it was merely a potion that will avoid nightmares in his nightly wanderings and an effect that will make him sleep... for a week."

"A WEEK? What for?" asked Xanxus rattling her collar. Neonina looked annoyed. She held his hands then began to forcefully remove them from her collars. "Oh, sorry didn't mean to," she said sarcastically as he hissed in pain while rubbing his wrists. "And by the way, the answer? Oy, you," she snapped at Mukuro who was plainly enjoying Xanxus' moment of pain, "You better listen too. I don't want to repeat myself when I already explained once. I did it because it's part of the plan. I've got things to clear out with the ENTIRE family for him then I've got to settle down and make a few contacts then buy some ingredients from the apothecary in diagon alley. I'm going to need a broom too. And also, I've got to buy some necessary things then finally look for a job in the muggle world, I'm going to need to restock my gold in Gringotts. I reckon I'll be spending a quarter of my savings stocked up there.

"Nobody asked what the fuck you were planning for your shitty life," Xanxus spat. But Neonina paid no mind and continued on.

"And the first thing that is on my to-do-list... family confrontation," Neonina said as she stood up and left the room. Curious, the two followed her out the door leaving Tsuna asleep behind.
