Chapter 3:

It was again late evening. Though this time, I wasn't comfortably sitting with Nana-san drinking tea, but in Tsuna's room, with Reborn explaining about their 'true identity' in the thing that I was really not wanting to hear about, but listened anyway. "Dame-Tsuna is the last candidate to become Decimo of the Vongola family, the most powerful mafia family in the world. And I've been assigned by the boss in-charge right now to make him act like one." I see...that makes SO MUCH sense as to why he is telling me this, that I'm even starting to...roll my eyes. "And you with the other three are gonna be his subordinates." He said, as if reading my mind. "REBORN! I said they are NOT MY SUBORDINATES, they are just my friends!" Tsuna shouted, while pouting his cheeks a bit. That made him so much more adorable~~. "Ahahaha, Ami-senpai is also gonna be playing this mafia game then?" He said it while laughing and rubbing his head. Game? What did Reborn say to make him believe his words? Out of pity I went up to Takeshi and hugged him slightly (I think there was a slight hint of a blush on his face, but it wasn't very visible), then patted his head several times. "Reborn, what did you tell these guys about the mafia?" I asked turning to the baby. "Nothing, they agreed by themselves." He said with that evil smile, which by now I was able to distinguish from his smirk. "Of course. I'm Juudaime's right-hand man, so I would agree to follow him to the very end!" Hayato exclaimed. My eyes opened up. Somebody would think that my pupils will just be falling out, but luckily they didn't. Whatever reason that boss in-charge right now is having in his head, will never make me believe that it was for the good cause that he needed to get these innocent softies, in to such a rotten and dark underworld as the mafia. Even Ryohei and Hayato, under a certain circumstances can become real 's when it hit me..."YOU'RE PLANNING TO PUT ME INTO THIS MESS TOO?" I screamed. And the little devil smirked.

Yes, the meaning of his words took a while to register, but when it did get to me. I panicked, not really on the outside as much as for inside. So it took another while to get a hold of myself. "No way." I said in strict way that would make ANYONE believe my words, but then a again, this mafioso was not really a part of anyone to begin with. "I'm not joining your foolish world, where the stakes of a life is as fragile as a crystal glass." I added, just to make it clear that I'm not joining. "But you want to be Tsuna's big sister, right?" he asked, obviously making a point. "I AM the big sister of Tsuna Sawada. Not some Vongola Decimo." I said, it made great sense to me, but it seems everyone else was not really on the same page as me. "Very well, shall we see how long you can keep thinking like that?" He asked, this was probably real fun for him. But that's where our conversation stopped. Why? Because a bubble came from his nose, identifying that he was asleep. And I didn't get to even ask, why did he want ME in the family? We only knew each other for like, what? Two days?

But I pretended that I didn't care and we parted. Everyone went their own way. I said good night to all of them. Even to the sleeping Reborn, who I'll probably have to face tomorrow, because he IS Tsuna's tutor, no matter how much I hate it.

After making some lunch for tomorrow, getting myself ready to sleep and happily cuddle in my own bed without the need of worrying over anything.

Until I heard a voice shouting that it was time for some sort of training. I slowly opened my eyes and mumbled that 'gimme five more minutes' or something of the sort. When the shout became even louder than it was. I shot up from the bed and looked around. There was no one there. Then it got to me. It came from the outside. So I opened the window...And guess what? Ryohei was standing there shouting to me to get out for my training. So he really DID mean it when he said it yesterday, ha?. Then I waved my hands at him at full force so that he would notice, and put the finger on my mouth, indicating he has to be quite. "There are people that are still sleeping in this apartment block." I said as quietly as I could, but still so that Ryohei would be able to hear me. And then I added that I'll come in a minute. Literally, I came out in 60 seconds. I didn't want the owner to get mad at me for bringing a very loud 'friend' over in the very early morning. So I just put some random T-shirt and knee long shorts.

We left to run. Well, at least this time he is not making me run full-speed. That's something I'm suppose to be grateful for. But without any brakes, no matter how slow one is running , they get tired after sometime. My time limit was 10 minutes. You would guess that I would get a break or something, but Ryohei, being very EXTREME, was pushing me to run more. So I tried my best. That was pretty good shot I made. I managed to push 30 more minutes of running out of myself, but that was it. My knees couldn't bare it anymore and I fell on the pavement of the street next to my house. "That was pretty EXTREME for the first time!" Ryohei tried to encourage me. But I was too dizzy to answer in words, so I just stretched my lips trying to make a smile of it. Though I didn't know how it turned out to be. For the next several meters Ryohei helped me to get to my door. Then I dropped on my bed. Yet, again.

When the alarm clock rang, showing that it was 7 o'clock in the morning, I said to myself that it was time to get up. The only problem with that plan was...my muscles were hurting so badly, that even moving an inch (I'm using inch here, because it's more than one cm.) would ache so badly, that I didn't have any will to move from my bed.

Though I knew I had to go to school. So I went to wash myself and prepare for the day with great difficulty. Every move was made with so much effort. But, by the time I had to go out of my apartment the pain started to fade, little by little. Though rough movements were out of question.

When I reached the group. It seems the girls went a bit earlier but otherwise everyone was there. I was actually already quite alright and in the mood to walk. That was until we got to school. You have one chance to guess who was waiting happily to bite us to death, for not making it on time. Yup, it was the one and only carnivore wannabe Hibari Kyoya.

He mercilessly was 'bitting' us, and for some weird reason, I felt that most of the rage was showered at me. Why? I have no clue. The only thing he told me in the end, was "You're the weakest of the herbivores." He said and turned to go into the school building. I really wanted to go at that moment to one of my special 'emo corners', to cry my inside muscle ache and outside bruises pain off. Now I definitely couldn't move. So I just lay on the pavement wondering what will happen to me, when Takeshi came by and took my arm. He then placed it over his shoulder and while leaning most of my weight on himself put me on my feet. "Hahaha, this time it seems you're the one bruised, Ami-senpai." He laughed a bit. " You guys can go on ahead, I'll help senpai to get to the infirmary." You could see that Tsuna panicked, but he said firmly that he will tell the teacher about Takeshi' lateness and that he went to help me.

I kind of felt really horrible that I was being literally carried by him, but I couldn't help it anyhow. So when we came to the infirmary, the nurse, fortunately enough, was at her place. Takeshi left me there, after I made him look through his own bruises first with the sensei and asked if he could bring the other three later, if I doesn't find them myself.

What was a huge relief, was that the nurse had a muscle ache remover pill of some sort...I probably should get some for myself later. And the rest was actually not as bad as I thought.

When I went out of the room, I heard a bomb explode outside of the school building. In a panic that somebody might have gotten hurt in the explosion, I went out to analyze the situation. And what I saw was nothing that I expected it to be. There was a kid in a cow-print overall and an afro with grenades in his hands. That...that...that's LAMBO! "Lambo! What are you doing here? Where did you get those dangerous items?" I started running towards him. But it seems like he was too busy staring at Reborn, that he didn't hear me. "HAHAHA~! This time I got you Reborn!" He exclaimed and started throwing the grenades at him. Though Reborn, being Reborn, just reflected them back at Lambo. Then I ran for my life and was in a nick of time to get to Lambo and get out at least several meters away before they touched the ground and exploded. I was panting. "Lambo!" I exclaimed in a scolding way, looking at the kid who was now in my arms. But then he was all "Got..*sniff*..ta...*sniff*..stay..*sniff*..CALM!" And then he started bursting into tears while ruffling in his afro. What he got out of it definitely could NOT have been just in his hair. I wonder if there was special 'time and space' trap in his hair or something. Because it was a bazooka. I never saw one, but by the book description it was definitely it. And as weird as it goes, he jumped into it.
There was pink smoke and a ~15 years old kid was standing in the middle of it. My jaw dropped. Anyone bother to explain what happened. Then I heard Tsuna's voice. "Why is adult-Lambo here?" he asked. "Adult...Lambo?" I asked not getting the picture. "What you saw just now was a ten-year bazooka, made by the Bovino family. It let's the person who got shot change places with their ten years future-selves." Reborn came out of the...flower bucket? wearing a tree costume...but wasn't he just...logic is definitely not his thing. "Sooo~, you're telling me, that this guy here is Lambo, ten years in the future?" I pointed my finger at the teen with a cow print blouse, totally not believing him. "Yada yada, Ami-nee, you don't believe that I'm Lambo." The guy said. "Ami-nee?" I tried to look for some features that would make him Lambo, but he just looked like a normal lazy Italian teen, with black hair and green eyes..and a cow print blouse. Ok. Maybe this Bovino family was pretty good at inventing a time-travel machine. "What is the Bovino family?" I asked, still not fully believing the story that a mafia family was able to make such a..a. time-travel...weapon looking thing, when normal scientist right now are only dreaming of accomplishing it.
The pink smoke came again and the younger Lambo came out skipping with a lollipop in his hands. Then he took the bazooka and stuffed it back in his hair...how does he do it? In the mean time Tsuna was just standing there, accompanied with his so called 'right-hand man'. Hayato took Lambo by his overall and with an angry face started shouting at him "Why are you here?" To me it looked like child abuse, so I took Lambo away from his grab and into my own hands. "Don't shout at kids, it's not good for either yours nor his health." I pouted at him and turned around to put the kid on the ground. "So Lambo, can you tell me why you are here?" I asked with a caring tone to it. "Mamma asked to bring the lunch box for Baka-Tsuna." He said obviously avoiding eye-contact. "So where is it?"...there was a minute of silence. "Tch, you probably lost it on the way." Hayato concluded, well no matter how harsh he said it, what he meant was true. He probably lost it on the way, then he saw Reborn, and started throwing grenades..I'll ask about that later. "Lambo-sama would never do such a thing, it's all Reborn's fault." He started shouting to cover up the truth, which made me giggle or laugh really lightly. "Hai, hai. Just be more careful next time, ok?" I patted the afro. But it seems this wasn't sitting with Reborn so well, because he landed with his feet on my head making me fall on my knees. "Ouch." I whined, "what did you do that for?" "Because, I felt like it." He answered. There was definitely a smirk on his face, "Go to class, you don't want to lower your scores now, do you?" He continued. It sounded like he was talking about the deal I made with Kyoya. Why I felt like he did, I don't know. But he did have a point that I skipped already most of the first class. "Oh shoot." Was the last thing that I thought before running with full-speed to my classroom.

The time before lunch was perfectly normal, of course I got scolded for the first lesson. But the rest was fine. Actually the teachers were starting to see that I do have a brain.

What happened in lunch was also unexpected. When we were sitting on the roof, where we have been going for past several lunches, I-pin came along. She was caring a wrapped bento. "Gonichiwa" the girl bowed. "This the lunch that Lambo was suppose to have brought." She gave the bento to Tsuna. "Arigatou, I-pin." my adorable little brother thanked her for it. "By the way, I-pin, where was it?" I asked with curiosity, because Lambo obviously did lose it on the way. The girl turned around and said "At home." All of our jaws dropped. He didn't lose it, he forgot it? "What are you herbivores crowding on my spot for?" That sound that came from the door, was most definitely really pissed right now, but I don't really care. He called us herbivores, AGAIN! Jeez~. "When will you stop calling us that?" I asked a rhetorical question, but it seems this guy was not in the mood to think that way. "When you make me believe that you are not." He stated getting his tonfas out. But then all of us got distracted by something else. I-pin got stuck to my leg and there were some kind of..symbols of some sort(?) on her forehead and her face became really crimson. The rest of the group was kind of panicking, except for the carnivore wannabe, of course. And when there was only one picture left on her head, because it really looked like a count down, Tsuna took and threw her away, but he slipped which made her fly backwards, right in the middle of all of us, when she exploded. Is there even one child that doesn't explode or use exploding weapons around, I sniffed trying to keep my tears away. What have they done to these poor children?

And there we go again to the infirmary. I-pin left us afterwards apologizing a hundreds of times, although we (me, Tsuna and Takeshi) told her that it was ok.

This time there was a man instead of the young nurse from this morning. "Hello, young lady." he said, standing up from his chair. "hi" I said awkward-ed out by him putting his arm around me. "Are you hurt anywhere in particularly?" There was a tone of playish-ness in his voice. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I hit him in the gut. "You choose the wrong person to play around with." I said with coldness coming out of my mouth. "I'd prefer if you checked the guys first." "I don't treat man." He had a total disappointment in his eyes. "Give me the first-aid kit." Our lame conversation ended with me taking care of everyones wounds, and then my own. "Oi, to make some use of you, can you tell me in which pharmacy were those 'muscle ache remover'-pills bought from?" I asked the man who was now just sitting in the chair and observing my actions, or at least it felt like it. "Why does a girl need such pills~?" Good question, I looked up at Ryohei and thought that would be probably nice if he understood the hint in the statement of the pervy doctor. But on the other hand, if he finds out I'm using those pills, he would probably make the training much harder. "I-it's for a friend of mine." As you can guess, I can't lie so openly to people. "Hmm~, I suppose I could tell you~, if you give me a small kiss~." "SHAMAL you..." Hayato reacted to my surprise, well I was going to hit this Shamal in the face anyways. "What about we skip the last bit?" I asked, starting to bargain. "Hmm~ well, I guess you are a bit too young for me, but what about a hug?" I scored a perfect hundred on his face...Trust me, my dear readers, I'm not violent, I mentioned that to Kyoya already. I'm just very loyal to my own standards, which are pretty high.

In the end he did give me a map to the place, but for that I did hug him. Ugh, ye, I know. So after school I went alone, after I promised that I would come by Tsuna's house after getting the pills.
I was going exactly by the map, before I reached a dark alley way. It was pretty dirty, shallow and darkish. Let's just hope this map doesn't lead to some sort of dark bar or something. And it didn't. It lead me to a small looking store. When I went in, the sellers, a man and a pretty young lady in her late 20s, brightly welcomed me and asked what I needed. I looked around the store...but the only things I found there were swords, guns of different sizes, knives and other stuff of the sort. "Umm, may I ask what this store is exactly?" "We're the vongola weaponry store. And have about as much as needed to support the family and it's allied families. Why do you ask?" The lady answered me. Vongola?...REBORN! He was probably the one who gave the map to Shamal to give to me, knowing that I would ask. "Umm..I not really in the family, but I have been send here, by a guy who said that you have the 'muscle ache remover'-pills." I asked nervously, hoping that they won't do anything to me, because I'm not in the Vongola. "Oh, you must be Lonestand Ami, we have been told about you. And yes we do have the pills." This time the man answered, smiling brightly. Too brightly for my taste."Any sister of Vongola Decimo is welcome anytime, any day here." That's exactly what I was afraid that they would say. "I'm not a sister of the heir to the Vongola family. I'm not a part of it." I stated crossing my hands, "but I wouldn't mind taking the pills." I mumbled under my breath. "Ok, here they are, that would cost this much." The lady showed me the computer. And I gave the money. Can't believe I just bought something in a mafia store.

When I got to Tsuna's house, I asked Nana-san if she knew where Reborn was. She answered that he probably was with the boys upstairs. "Reborn!" I stormed upstairs straight after and slammed the door open. He was sitting on his mini-chair drinking coffee while Tsuna, Takeshi and Hayato were doing their homework. "You gave this map to Shamal, didn't you?" I frowned with great anger and pointed the paper at him. "Hmm~~, but I thought that you would need it." He said it in an innocent baby voice. "I'm not joining the Vongola!" I half screamed and half whined. "But you bought the pills anyways, right?" He asked. "I-it wa-was for other reasons." looking everywhere but his eyes. "But that DOES NOT mean I'm willing to just give up and join!" I tried to fight back. But it was obvious that he won...this time! There will still be plenty more and I'll make sure to fight my brain out with all I've got! Ha! Let's see how he will be smirking then! Muahahaha~! Ye, my daydream is probably quite far of from the truth...sadly.
So after such a total lose, I went down to Nana-san to help her with dinner.

Soo~ did you enjoy it? If there is something you want to say about the story, please do. I'll really appreciate your reviews~! ^^
