A/N: .. sorry again for not replying to all the reviews, but I'm thanking you guys for reviewing here~ chapter four is on the way, douzo~ XD
You woke up after inhaled a familiar scent around you, a green tea, your house. So you've succeeded coming home before, yes… after a while battle with all of those mafiosos men, the white haired one then came and…wait…Yamamoto was there protecting you. You didn't recall how you got home… but after Reborn's arrival you only felt blank…
A loud gasp escaped your lips, and your eyes quickly opened while you maneuvered yourself to sit up but only to feel dizziness. After you massaged your head for a while, you tried to search for him, for Yamamoto. But you found no one, maybe he was not the one who took you home… or maybe it was him? Ahh…no, no… it was not the time for you to worried in such thing, you should worried more about how would you get stronger. But still… his image kept appearing in your head, making you wondering about his safety.
"(Y/n)? You already awake?" A voice came from behind, making you turned around to saw your older brother.
He had those same (e/c) eyes and (h/c) hair color like you, in short, you were his copy but in the feminine and girl looks. He was approaching you, giving you a warm smile just like what you adored from him, and ruffled your hair in a kind way.
You slightly moved his hand from your head, "Aniki[1]…"
Ryuma grinned and gave you a childish soft pinch on your left cheek while explaining, "You've been asleep for one day… But I've informed Kyouya about your absence."
"A-ahh…thank you, Aniki… Mm…I'll borrow the doujo[2] again today, is it okay with you?"
"I'm okay. Oh, by the way, your schoolmates come to see you." Your brother pushed your back.
You turned your head to Ryuma, worried about something, "S-schoolmates? B-but… this is—"
He cut you, "Don't worry… they are waiting in the guest room." Then he gave you those 'shooo, shooo' hand movement.
"But…What if they know about our family?" You hesitantly stepped and still turned your head to your older brother.
"Just go…"
With that final word he said, you gave up. You walked with a throbbing heart to the guest room, worried about your house's identity. As you opened the shoji door [3], your body jolted seeing who the guests were and you almost closed the door.
"(Y/n), don't do such impolite thing in front of your guest." Said your brother from behind you, but luckily you didn't surprised with his sudden appearance due to your daily life with him.
You hesitantly entered the room with a little sigh and took over the tea which your brother brought just a few second ago. After serving the tea to each guest, you calmly sat on the sitting pillow and staring at your guests.
"What business do you have?" You asked, still staring at the boy which smiling nervously. He seemed to bring many unknown guests as well, like that blondie man and the soft brown colored hair boy.
Sawada stammered at the first but was successfully calmed by Gokudera who was sitting beside him and began to speak, "W-well… (s/n), umm…how are your condition?"
Reborn jumped suddenly and gave his student a high kick then landed in front of you, pointing you his gun.
"We need your help." Said Reborn straightly to you.
You sighed again, almost making Gokudera lost his temper to shout at your foul attitude towards his boss. You closed your eyes and calmly sipped your tea, "…I said that I'm quitting from your game… Don't you even remember it, Sawada?"
The ginger haired boy said hesitantly, "I-I remember…b-but…"
"Please! I'm begging you!" A sudden loud voice stopping Tsuna's attempt to explain his mean to you, as you turned to the tanned boy, he still knelt down, making his forehead touching the floor, begging for your help.
Your eyes widened, couldn't really believe he would do this far. "Y-yamamoto… I…"
"Just help us!" Gokudera stood up, taking out all of his dynamite and planning to bomb your house.
You still stared at Yamamoto, bur coldly responded, "If you… blow up this house… I'll swear we'll have your head…" With that, Gokudera gulped, feeling that murderous aura which was spreading from every inch of your body and he managed to sat back.
"This is the manor of Engetsuika family… a yakuza family which was known well around Japanese black organization. Are you…really dare to ask help from us?" you said as turning your head to the Vongola Tenth to be, you had to say about your true identity as a member of yakuza family in order to not get them involved. No one would ever brave enough to close to you again after knowing the truth, and not even Yamamoto…
You could see Tsuna gulping, encouraging himself to speak, "I'm begging you to help us…" He knelt his body down just like Yamamoto then Gokudera did the same thing with a hesitant at first.
Suddenly your brother sled the door and said, "I'll give you permission to help them. We should help Vongola… since we are their alliance. And because Kyoya was there too~."
You tilted your head and gave him your scariest smile which they said it was the same smile like your father's one, a smile that full with killing intent, "You knew all of these matters from a long time ago…aren't you Aniki? And don't bring Hibari-senpai as the reason why you give me permission…"
Your brother quickly retreated himself, "A-ah…about that… Umm…yeah… Oh! I remember I was boiling water! U-um… I'll be going first! And (y/n), don't smile like father too much, it was really scary!"
"Good God…." You sighed, "I understand… I'll help you…"
"R-really?" Sawada asked you, making sure.
As you responded with a simple nod, Sawada and Yamamoto quickly thanking you, "Thanks (s/n)!"
Just when you pour some tea to their cup, Sawada began, "By the way… all of those…err…looking good guys out there…were they the member of your family? A-and…about Hibari-san…?"
Good looking guys? Ah, he must be talking about the family. You wondered why all of those humans being who came here especially the humans with X-chromosome inside were always crazy over them. you found them as a plain one, and…Yamamoto still cuter… Whoops, no, you shouldn't think like that.
You cleared your throat and explaining, "Yes… as this family always taking in the entire youngster who doesn't have home or having some internal matter which was too private if I tell you about it. The member here is around 14 – 23 years old…My brother, the boss himself is still 22."
Tsuna nearly choked by his tea if he didn't spit the tea out from his mouth, "Ehh? T-then…is it a new family?"
You chuckled and waving your hand left and right, "No… the entire oldster starts a new family which all of them are our allied family… or they even drop their Yakuza status when they were 'graduated' from here."
Yamamoto complemented, his eyes were really bright, "Whoaa… that's cool." You swore you won't survive this temptation if he gave a another show, other than making you think that he was cute, if he opened his clothes here you'd die for sure.
Holding blushed to rose from your cheek, you inhaled the surrounding air a little and continued, "A-about Hibari-senpai, he's just an old acquaintance of my brother, I don't really know their relationship as they were…doing some mutualism…? But I always met senpai since kid…so I think our family has some ties."
"Oi, how about your parents…" Gokudera took his cigarette and lighter.
You quickly took the cigarette and threw it in the dust bin, "No smoking here, Gokudera…They were death when I was 6…and since that, my grandfather pointed Aniki to be the head of this family…"
Gokuderas who was nearly yelled at you again managed to being calm somehow and felt a little apologetic towards you, "A-ah, sorry."
A giggle left your lips, "No, it's okay. Then, what can I do to help?"
Reborn smirked, "First… I need you to test Yamamoto's power, and I have a test for you too."
All eyes stared at the Fedora baby, wondering what he would do after this.
After a few minutes of walking, you stopped at the dojo then opening the door to welcome them in, "Umm… this is the widest field we have here… Usually this is morning meditation training place."
"It's okay, (y/n), take this." Said Reborn while handing you the bat and he continued, "Yamamoto, you take the ball and stand on the left corner. (Y/n), stand on the furthest right corner and face Yamamoto, make sure to left some space for you to swing the bat."
"Like this?" Yamamoto asked, wondering what would Reborn planned.
"Yes, now, I need you to throw as powerful as you can. And (y/n), you must hit the ball."
You arrived at the assigned place, "Understood." You never hold a bat before and you were really nervous, to think you had to practice with your crush.
With simple sign from Reborn, Yamamoto threw the ball fiercely after his eyes changed into a serious one, the one he always looked like when he was throwing ball. You gripped the bat tightly and gulped, wondering if you would hit the ball or not.
When you want to swing the bat, the ball passed you with a high speed and made no chance for you to move, frozen while still standing on your former position. But his throw was somewhat different from what you always saw… the sound of something stuck inside the tree could be heard, hard and loud.
Yamamoto quickly approaching you, "A-ahh! Sorry, is it too fast?"
Just when he was taking his first step, you said, "Don't hold your power…"
He froze, didn't understand what your mean was, "Eh?"
"Throw the ball with all you've got."
After you statement, Reborn gave a sign to throw again, and this time you knew he was using his fullest power. The ball flew to you faster then before, it would be a good one if it hit you. You focused on the ball and gripped the bat tightly, tried to find the timing to hit the ball. But you were too slow as the bat didn't hit the ball which once again being stuck in the tree, you'd make them compensate the trees later.
"Can you throw again?" You begged, but you could see Yamamoto was worried, but he threw again with his fullest.
You focused again at the ball and managed to hit it, but since the force of the ball was too powerful, you fell down and landed hard on the ground as the bat flew over to Tsuna's head, dramatically. Thanks God he didn't die in front of his right hand man.
Yamamoto approached you and helping you to stand up, "Are you okay? Let's just stop…" he was worried, the wound on your body still not fully healed yet.
You shook your head and touched Yamamoto's hands which were holding your body to stand up, "I don't want to… go back to your place Yamamoto, throw the ball again."
The athlete begged, "But (s/n)…"
You stared right at his eyes, "I've already understood how to hit the ball…"
Reborn smirked and challenged you, "Hmph…then show me, (y/n)."
You smirked back to him and standing up, back to your position with full of confidence, "Yes, Reborn, I'll show you a home run hit."
Once again your eyes become a very serious one for the triples time after a few second of concentrating by closing your eyes. You gripped the bat tight and didn't even have a second to blink your eyes as the ball kept coming closer. You gritted your teeth and hit the fierce ball successfully and sent it to nowhere far to the sky. Just after you hit the ball, you jumped high to celebrate your success and screamed as loud as you could.
"Whaa… H-how can she…" The silverhead shocked, his jaw dropped and he still couldn't believe that you managed to hit Yamamoto's fierce throw.
You leaned your body to the ground and grinned as wide as you can, "I…did the home run… Ahahaha…"
Yamamoto's shadow covered your body and he came with a very wide grin to you, "You hit the ball! Congrats!"
You quickly sat up and happily responded, "Thanks! Am I the first one to hit your throw?"
The tanned boy ruffled your hair and laughed cheerfully, "Yes, you are. You are the very first. Hahahaha!"
You pouted, moved away his hands and slightly holding the blushes to not appear on your cheek, "But looks like I still need some more practice… My hands are trembling…"
Reborn suddenly interrupt into your sweet moment by standing between the two of you, "From now on, you should practice with Yamamoto every day, manage your time."
You blinked twice and asked innocently, "Can I practice my sword skill too?"
The baby explained, "No, both of you should practice your sword skill with your own teacher. For Yamamoto, just increase your throwing power… in that way, you could increase your power and speed while (y/n) can train her eyes speed and grip power…"
At the rooftop of Sawada's residence, Reborn sat there while an eagle appeared with a blonde baby riding it, "You are a fearsome tutor Reborn, hey!" he said while the bird still grabbing his back, making him standing in the air.
Reborn only smirked and lifted his fedora like his infamous habit, "Hmph….you saw her fighting moves aren't you?"
"Of course I did, hey! The way she fought…" Colonelo's eyes become serious, his blue orbs glints.
Reborn nodded, smirking again, "Yes, she's a natural born hitman too…along with Yamamoto, I think they'll make a great fighting pair."
Colonelo nodded too as he agreeing with his former Arcobaleno friend, "I'm surprised at her eyes' speed and high speed developing, so that's why all intern members of Engetsuika's family were feared by their power and strategies, hey!"
"And she's an extraordinary one… I didn't even imagining her fast development to become like that. She's a very fast learner… and her strategic mind; it would be a useful asset for Vongola." Reborn had that kind of dark shadow at his eyes; he knew he could make you as a great Vongola's staff.
Colonelo laughed and scoffed Reborn, "That's why I said that you are a fearsome tutor, hey!"
Reborn made Leon turned into a green gun and he pointed it up to his fedora as lifting it up a bit, "Of course, since I'm the number one tutor in the world."
