Life can bring lots of hardships, but it's always important to keep in mind that there are people around you who care for you, and are willing to help you through whatever you're dealing with.-Furukawa Nagisa (Clannad) (Man I love putting up awesome quotes XD)

Fortunately Iemitsu had finally left, but he had stayed for a year. A year of just barely surviving his spur-of-the-moment ideas, such as taking me to a water park and trying to teach me how to swim, that ended with me getting thrown into the pool and a shouted 'swim Tuna fish! Swim!' from the blonde. Then there was the time when he decided the family needed a vacation, from what I don't know, and we traveled to the beach where he got the crazy idea to enter me in a beauty contest. It was for children and I ended up winning first place in 'overall cuteness', I didn't even know such a thing existed.

Oh and let's not forget that time when he spun me around so many times I got sick, or that other time when-

I think my point is made, Iemitsu was on some strong drugs.

Back when I was a girl my father was never around, so suddenly having a neurotic father all up in my face was rather overwhelming. I could truthfully say I now understood why Tsuna was so nervous and scared all the time, I would be too if I were a normal child with a father like Iemitsu.

Nana though, was like a breath of fresh air, even with her obliviousness she was a pure hearted soul who loved her family with all of her being. Because of that I found myself getting attached to her, like attached.

Fujimoto Rei never got attached to someone, or at least until now she didn't. I guess it's inevitable even if I am an adult in a child's body, Nana had been taking care of me and providing for me so it was impossible not to feel comfort when she was around.

But she was the only one I was going to allow this close, most definitely.

I didn't know how slow life was until I had experienced life as a child, don't get me wrong I enjoy it to the fullest but as an adult going through my 'toddler years' this was long and sometimes boring. My biggest dilemma was starting my Yaoi collection, which was near impossible to do when you're three years old. Who would sell a Yaoi manga to a child? No one that's who.

My life is cruel.

I guess if someone else were in my shoes they would be training like crazy so they would be prepared to kick butt, and while that idea was tempting the logical thing was to... well I guess the logical thing to do was train like crazy. Tsuna had enough problems with Reborns torture-training and I wasn't keen on being subject to that, perhaps if the hitman saw that I had potential he would hold back on his Spartan training?

Yeah and Mukuro would dress up in a pineapple outfit and start singing.

"Kufufu no fu." I muttered, my lips quirking at the image of Mukuro singing that song. When I had first heard it I ended up crying I was laughing so hard, something about Mukuro's laugh and him saying 'Oya oya' made me crack up, so making it a song was genius. The odd thing was, while Mukuro's hair looked like a pineapple Chrome actually didn't like the fruit, funny how things work sometimes.

I shifted and leaned my head on my arms to gaze at the outside world, Nana was currently cleaning the house and had refused to allow me to help. She really liked being a stay at home mom, most people I think would be frustrated at how their husband left them home to take care of the child, but Nana actually enjoyed it.

Like the good child I was I obeyed and was currently staring out the window while sitting on the couch, it looked like a nice day the sun was shining birds were chirping.

I hated it.

Was it even possible for an anime world to have a non-sunny day? I turned my gaze up to the blue sky, as far as I could remember there were perhaps one or two rainy days in an anime, but that was so the two characters could having a bonding experience or something dramatic was happening. Just a normal rainy day though? Not really. Maybe a miracle would happen and the sky would be covered by grey clouds instead of white fluffy ones.

Ah, life was becoming dull, even my thoughts were becoming boring.

I guess I would have to find something to do in this world.

That something was drawing, as a manga artist I had to be decent at art, so when I found a sketch book I had an epiphany. What better to pass the time then drawing? It took time and I was sure that if I drew enough the years would just fly by. Besides I enjoyed drawing, it was something peaceful and just intense that made you focus your full attention on.

My mind made up I tugged slightly on Nana's skirt. "Kaa-san."

She paused and looked down at me with a bright smile. "Yes Tsu-kun?"

I motioned toward the sketch book and looked up at her with my best puppy dog eyes, I knew that she would instantly give in since I had been practicing in the mirror. Tsuna owned the puppy dog look.

Not seconds later Nana cooed and grabbed it for me. "Here you go Tsu-kun, make sure to draw presents for Kaa-san okay?"

I nodded and held the book to my chest. Ah, I felt complete.

People's voices buzzed around us as we walked around Namimori, Nana once again needed something from the shopping district and had manipulated me with her dazzling smile to tag along. Every meal she cooked was enough to feed ten people so I was unsurprised that she needed to get groceries once a week. Good thing Iemitsu's 'construction work' brought home a lot of money.

She momentarily stopped to talk to a woman she knew so I was just hanging out and trying not to get noticed.

"The Fuck?! What sort of kid are you?!"

I turned my gaze toward the loud shout and spotted a man with dyed hair and multiple piercings running down the street, behind him was a dark haired child with two...tonfa's?

Hmm, he looked familiar.

The dark haired child gave a rather impressive glare that was only enhanced by his narrowed eyes and made an impressive leap toward the man. "For defacing Namimori, Kamikorosu." In a swiftness I could barely even spot he swung his weapons toward the man's head.

I swear I've seen him before, but from where I couldn't recall, I guess that's what happens when you don't read the manga for ten years.

"Ora? What a energetic child." Nana commented and I gave her a perplexed look. Could she not see the guy literally getting bitten to death? Did she not hear his agonized screams?

I turned back toward the dark haired child taking in his looks, I could already see that he was going to be a looker when he grew up, even now he looked about five and was already rather attractive. Geeze Rei pedophile much? It wasn't like I was planning on hitting on him or anything, I could appreciate someone's looks, right? Really though, I could see good Seme potential in him.

I tried to imagine the unfortunate Uke that would be matched with him. Someone cute, perhaps a little girly even? But from the looks of it they would have to be able to take care of themselves with a violent Seme like that.

...

Why was I even thinking about this? Bad brain!

As if he could tell I was thinking about him the child snapped his gaze toward mine and I found myself under his penetrating gaze. Outwardly I kept my half-lidded look, but really I was frozen on the spot.

Mother of a pearl! There wasn't a Uke bone in that child's body!

I found myself stepping back slowly as if to not startle a predator, he hadn't torn his eyes from mine and I wasn't about to turn my back from his. Slowly ever so slowly I crept until I was hiding almost all the way behind Nana's skirt, for some reason I felt safer when she was in between me and that dangerous guy.

She looked away from the person she was chatting with and gave me a worried look. "Tsu-kun? Are you okay?"

I nodded and gripped her skirt in my fists, I hoped she wouldn't be moving anytime soon or I was sure that the kid would... what did he call it? Bite me to death, right.

What a happy thought.

The child narrowed his eyes at me and then turned back to beating his victim. Talk about complete dismissal.

He had to be a main character of Katekyo Hitman Reborn, there was no way that he was just a random person on the street, but who was he?

"What a scary kid." The woman Nana was taking to said and I looked up at her. "At such a young age he has already gotten rid of fifty percent of the criminals in Namimori."

Nana cocked her head. "Really? That's amazing! What a strong young boy!"

I inwardly face palmed, that isn't what normal people would say, but Nana isn't even close to being a 'normal' person.

The woman seemed to share my sentiments. "I suppose, but it's terrifying really. Just think about how much training his father put him through for him to already be at that level."

"Ora? Who's his father? He does look familiar."

"The head of police, Hibari Tatsuo."

My brain froze and sputtered. Hibari? I wanted to hit myself, how could I not recognize Hibari Kyoya? Was my memory really so bad?

Who knew he was just as terrifying as a child as a teenager? As expected from him I guess.

On another note I just had a stare off with Hibari Kyoya and survived it. I should win a gold medal because I didn't even think such a thing was possible.

Hopefully Hibari would completely forget about our little moment, otherwise I was doomed to die again. Perhaps this was a sign that I should learn to fight sooner than later, my personality was very different from Tsuna's. He was frightened of his own shadow and horrible at school but he was loyal and pure hearted, he fit being the sky to a T while I probably didn't come close. But the following events that were to come was something I couldn't stop, so I had to make up for the things I lacked, it was the only thing I could do.

"Nee Kaa-san." I said pulling at her skirt once again to get her attention.

Gentle brown eyes looked down at me. "Yes Tsu-kun?"

"Can you sign me up for a martial arts class?"

As a three year old child, going to a martial arts class was unthinkable and very dangerous. My body was weak, small and very delicate, so fighting against bigger stronger opponents was going to be the biggest challenge for me. The only thing I really knew about martial arts was that Aikido was based on redirecting the attack rather than opposing it, so it wouldn't need much strength.

I was very adverse to any human contact and perhaps one of the most unmotivated people on the planet so this was going to be interesting.

With the realization that I was going to become a Mafia boss, someone who protected the innocent and dealt with the bad guys, I knew that I had to take this seriously. The Mafia was portrayed differently in the Katekyo Hitman Reborn world, some of them were drug dealers and such, but famiglia's like the Vongola strived to protect the people. Being weak wasn't acceptable, especially if you were going to be the boss.

I stared up at the slightly ragged Dojo, a sign with the words 'Chou's Aikido Dojo' was off to the side with a butterfly painted on it. Nana had taken my request in stride and had started cooing about being proud that her son wanted to be strong like his Tou-san. I shuddered at the thought, but apparently this woman was a friend of Iemitsu's so I had to give the man some credit.

Because a 'friend of Iemitsu's' most likely meant that she too was part of the Mafia and thus knew how to fight.

I stuffed my hands in my hoodie pockets and started toward the Dojo at a slow pace, even with all my talk about becoming stronger I was still reluctant to do any strenuous activity.

"You brat!"

I jumped about a foot in the air at the loud exclamation, whoever that was she had a good set of lungs on her. Slightly hesitant but curious I walked around the Dojo and toward the direction the voice came from.

A woman looking to be around her early thirties came into my view, she actually looked like a smaller version on Tsunade from Naruto. Even with the big boobs.

This just proved my 'I'm actually in Naruto theory'.

"You call that a face thrust?!" Tsunade-copy growled her brown eyes glaring down at the cowering form of a teenager. "That was a wimpy-ass slap! How many times do I have to tell you angle your hand?!"

The student whimpered and suddenly exploded in a full out bawl. "I can't take this anymore!" He wailed. "You're just a rude old lady with temperament issues!"

Silence. I knew that silence from anywhere, it was the same silence that came before Kimiko would break through my door.

"What the fuck did you just say brat?!" The woman snarled a dark aura of death surrounding her.

In a terrified scream the kid was up and out the door so fast that I felt wind ruffle my hair.

"Rude brat is thirty years too young to be back talking me, he might as well go running to his mommy because I don't want to see his sorry-ass face again." The woman growled to herself and stomped out the door completely bypassing me without a backwards glance.

Miffed I jogged forward to catch up with her. "Lady? I'd like to sign up."

"Third child this month to-Who the hell said that?" Tsunade-copy stopped and actually started looking around in confusion as if she didn't even notice me walking behind her.

With my usual half-lidded look I replied. "Down here lady."

Following the sound of my voice she looked down and met my gaze only to stare at me as if I was an alien with three heads.

I simply stared back.

"What the hell are you supposed to be? Some sort of science project gone wrong?"

"No." I replied not really affected by her rude way of speaking. "My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi."

She reared her head back at the sound of my name. "Sawada? Is your father perhaps Sawada Iemitsu?"

I nodded, hopefully she would accept me because she recognized my father's name. Not that I was trying to abuse my power or anything, but hey the man needed to be useful for something.

"Then no way in hell."

I blinked. Not what I was expecting. "Why not?"

Tsunade-copy snorted and crossed her arms. "Do you really expect me to train the offspring of the stupidest man on earth?"

Ah, we were going to be best of friends I could see it now. "I don't like him either." I voiced, watching as her gaze turned speculative.

"You're rather mature for a brat aren't you?"

"Not really." I answered looking down and kicking a random rock.

She hummed in thought and I inwardly crossed my fingers, she was what I needed, someone who clearly knew her stuff and wasn't afraid to push me. That's why Kimiko lasted so long as my author, she was able to literally break into my house and force a new chapter out of me.

"Don't expect to become an expert anytime soon." She stated and I jerked my head to look back up at her. "In fact expect to be in lots of pain for many years."

I nodded and squashed my inner me who was screaming for me to run away as fast as I could. Since I could only remember random bits and pieces of the anime I needed to be prepared, I was going to try my hardest to succeed in the things that Tsuna did. He and I were different, I would have to replace my lack of sympathy and overall 'sky-ness' for the ability to defend myself. If I didn't I would be completely helpless and useless in anything, the plot would fall to pieces and I would have no clue what to expect.

Funny how I was depending on my ability of knowing the future while every other human being lived life without that knowledge.

"I understand." I said with a nod of understanding.

This training couldn't possibly be worse then what Tsuna was put through with Reborn, so I was sure that this wouldn't be too bad.

Her vicious smile said otherwise.

So things are going to get a little more serious, but not too much. I hope that she isn't turning out to be a Sue, but I'm pretty sure that she has plenty of flaws. Not that she doesn't have more, she isn't a genius at martial arts after all. (Do tell me if she turns out to be a Sue though, it might scar me for life but please tell).

Tell me what you think and I hope you liked the chapter. :)
