Thank you reviewers for reviewing!

To answer a few questions...

I don't know when Reborn will regain his memories, haven't planned that far yet.

Reborn and Luci will probably meet when Reborn comes to meet Tsuna.

Anyway, that's all! Enjoy the story!

Also, I'll try to update regularly but I don't know how often that'll be with school stuff and it depends on when I get infected with Writer's Block. (Don't worry, it's not contagious! ; P )

I don't own KHR!

Chapter 3

Childhood

It had been seven years since her mom had started training her. She could honestly say she had gone through a Reborn worthy hell. Her mom had obviously taken some of her father's training regimes and then improved them. The stamina training her father did by having dogs and wolves chase you by tying steaks to you and covering you in meat sauce? Her mother added fish and catnip so you had dogs and cats chasing you! She didn't know how to swim? Her mother taught her the basics and then left her in the shark-infested parts of the Mediterranean!

She was taught how to use multiple weapons like guns, swords, spears, tonfas, nun chucks, kunai, daggers, senbons, shuriken, war fans, sickles, sai, a Bo staff, boomerangs, bows, hammers and clubs, sansetsukon (three part staff), and whips. Her favorite somewhat unexpectedly was guns (like her father). She learned how to use rifles, pistols, shotguns, revolvers, machine guns, and their variations. Her favorite type of gun was a handgun. It could be legally concealed (not that the mafia cared about what was legal) and was good for short range shooting and defense, with the right type of metals, they could be used to block weapons that might otherwise destroy guns.

Her mother also taught her or got some of her trusted friends to teach her various types of martial arts. She learned boxing, jujitsu, capoeira, karate, kenpo, wrestling, tai chi, wing chun, aikido, judo, kendo, sumo, taekwondo, muay thai, fencing, and various hand-to-hand fighting techniques.

Of course, her education hadn't been neglected either. She guessed that it helped that she now had an eidetic memory; it was a lot easier to learn things than before! She'd mastered French, Spanish and Chinese/Mandarin. She had also mastered Arabic, Russian, and German in that time. She was now currently working on learning Korean, Portuguese and Dutch. Yeah, it was a lot of languages, but all she pretty much had to do was memorize the words, their meanings, and then the rules on how to use the language, and since a lot of them had the same root backgrounds, it wasn't that hard. Plus, with the memories of her past life, her education was already college level, not that her mom knew that, but she did take this chance to learn the different background history of countries around the world, especially the parts where the mafia were involved.

Also, surprisingly along the way, she met the other Arcobaleno besides her father. It turns out that they were all friends with her mother. That was because she was related to their Sky, Luce Giglio Nero. Apparently her mother was Luce's cousin of some sort. She was the descendent of Luce's great-grandmother's second daughter who married an assassin called Zitto Falco, which is how she got her current surname. Anyway, that was how her mother had met her father. They had met at one of Luce's birthday parties before Luce had been turned into the Sky Arcobaleno. Since her mother was also a Sky (though not as strong as Luce), they got along very well. Even Verde and Viper liked her. So, as she grew up, the other Arcobaleno (who had found out that her mother was alive and not dead and then told each other) would drop by now and then and sort of became like her surrogate uncles and aunts. They would even come to her birthday parties! When they heard what had happened to her mother and how Reborn didn't remember her, it was a bit of an understatement to say that they were pissed. Even Skull had given out an impressive amount of killer bloodlust. Needless to say after that, she went through bloodlust resistance training when she almost collapsed from the sheer amount of it. Mother had made the Arcobaleno promise not to tell him about her and their daughter because she didn't want him to stay with them when he didn't even remember who she was, it would hurt too much. They had all reluctantly promised. Viper had even promised to do it without pay!

They were also the reason why she had become so smart and proficient in her studies and training. Though they obviously couldn't be there all the time, they would come by now and then to help her with her training or studying and give some tips on what she could be doing better.

The Arcobaleno all taught her various things. Viper had of course taught her how to manage money really well. She had also been taught how to earn money from the stock market and manipulate it. Fon was the main reason she was so good at martial arts. Having the strongest martial arts champion in the world as a teacher does that to you. Skull had taught her how to use and drive various mobiles like motorcycles, boats, cars, and even a plane! Lal Mirch had trained her discipline and taught her parcour. Collonello taught her how to use a rifle and other guns, though he wasn't really good at any other gun besides the rifle. Verde had helped her in science and even let her participate in his safer experiments. He also made her guns that could shoot out her flame once she learned what type and how to use her Dying Will flames. They were made of Flame conductive metals that were also really hard so that the average weapon and even some of the tougher ones wouldn't be able to damage them.

What her mother and the rest of the Arcobaleno didn't know was that she had met a person that they would probably never have wanted her to meet. She had first met Kawahira (A.K.A. Checkerface) when wandering around town and had gone to investigate a weird ramen shop that had popped up in town. A ramen shop in Palermo! If that wasn't suspicious, she didn't know what was. So, she had gone inside and told him so. He had just laughed and then given her something. When she saw what it was she was shocked. It was a bracelet, but not just any bracelet. It was the bracelet she had been wearing in her previous life (when she died too!) with an added charm on to it. The bracelet was sterling silver with little charms on it in the shape of different representations of the weather (sun, cloud, sky, mist, storm, rain, and lightning). She had gotten it because it reminded her of her favorite anime and now current world KHR (Katekyo Hitman Reborn). She didn't know if it was coincidence or not, though most likely not. The sign of the added charm was a clam with a sun etched onto it. He had dropped it into her hand and smiled that annoying smile of his and then said seriously, "I'm sorry for the losses you will face, but stay strong and everything will turn out well in the end." She had puzzled over what he had said and then said, "Thank you for the advice," just as seriously and as she left the shop she had turned around and said, "By the way, what kind of name is Checkerface anyway?" before she winked back at him and left. After that, life had continued on as normal.

Then the accident happened. Her mother was one of the strongest people she knew, besides the Arcobaleno and all the other ridiculously strong people in the world. She had always thought that her mother would either die of old age or from some sort of epic battle. But no, she mother had died from a car crash! Some stupid old drunk driving a delivery truck hadn't been paying attention to where he was going and had rammed into her mother's car on her way back from the grocery car and then into the cliff next to the road. Her mother had never had a chance.

I hope you enjoyed it, and sorry about the cliff hanger! I'll try to update soon... If you can give me any advice on how to make this better or if there are mistakes please tell me. No nasty cussing though please. Also...
