When Sakiko was done cleaning herself up, she left the bathroom and went downstairs. She heard ruckus of the kids, so she understood that Nana had returned from her outing. A fork came towards her, when she entered the doorway to the living room, but she sensed the danger and ducked, suddenly guard up, eyes narrow and dangerous.
"Not bad." Commented Reborn's voice. "Tsuna wouldn't have dodged it."
"He has yet to learn always to trust his intuition. I had always been taught to follow it." She replied calmly, guard still up, yet slowly straightening up.
"I'll evaluate your strength later today. We will be going to the mountains, along with Tsuna and his guardians." Reborn said, letting Sakiko relax, as she nodded her head.
"Here are your papers, all signed. Tomorrow you can start going to Namimori middle school." Reborn said, as he handed a file to Sakiko, who took it and opened it. There she saw her picture, and falsified data about her. She wondered where Reborn got her picture, but decided not to ask, since he was Reborn, and Reborn was… well… Reborn. No other explanation needed.

"Thank you." Sakiko said in her quiet voice and turned towards kitchen where Sawada Nana could be found. Once there, she knocked on the door, not to startle the kind woman.
"I apologize for my previous behavior. It was unbecoming of me to walk out like that." She said with a small bow, when Nana turned in her direction. "I will strive forward so such a thing doesn't happen again."
Nana only blinked in surprise at Sakiko's behavior. She was expecting much less as an apology for the behavior before, since she understood that the girl must have had her reasons for storming out like that, but this kind of well-mannered apology was something out of her league. Nana didn't know how to respond to it without sounding too careless; so that it wouldn't seem like she was dismissing the formal apology as nothing. In search of help, her eyes drifted towards Reborn, who was watching the scene with interest.
Seeing that there would be no help from the baby, she quickly looked around the room and saw a plate of Sakiko's onigiri. She quickly took it and placed it in front of the girls face.
"It's alright. You don't have to apologize." Nana chose it as a way to convey that everything was alright, not hard feelings were felt and that she still thought of Sakiko as a nice girl, even if the edges weren't smooth, just like the onigiri the girl had made.
Sakiko looked up at Nana with surprise and happiness evident in her expression and eyes towards the female's kindness. Indeed, it had been long since she had experienced such pure kindness towards her. Although, Sakiko had not seen her grandmother even once in the future, she was happy to have met her now. In addition, it revealed from where came her papa's pure big heart, which created the purest Sky flame seen in a long time.
"How about you help me put away the groceries and then I'll show you to your room?" Nana asked, dismissing the topic of before, hoping to do the same in her look-a-likes mind. Sakiko nodded her head and helped get grandmother put the groceries away, by taking them out of the bags and handing them to Nana for her to put them away.
When they were done with the groceries, Nana led Sakiko to the second floor, led her to a certain door and gestured the girl to open it. The caramelette opened it only to see a room with light lilac walls, white ceiling, and purple carpet on the floor. Against the farest wall there was a double bed with white laundry and purple blanket over it. On the right hand there was a wardrobe with a mirror next to it, while on the left hand there was a bookshelf.
"I hope you don't mind sharing with Bianchi-san." Nana said, with a bit worried tone in her voice.
"It is alright." Sakiko reassured the female, being fine with sharing a bed with her future aunt. "However, I don't know if she will be okay with it."
"I don't mind." Suddenly a voice said behind, startling the 2 females. They turned around to see Bianchi standing right behind them.
"Bianchi-san..." Sakiko muttered, memories trying to force their way into her consciousness, however, she resisted, since she knew that memories would only bring tears to her eyes, so she fought them. She already cried once. There was no need to spill the tears again. It would only make the two other woman worry about her. And that was the last thing she needed.
"By the way, where are your belongings, Sakiko-chan?" The ditzy woman asked, showing that she wasn't so ditzy after all. Sakiko turned her attention to the woman next to her and replied: "This is all I have. I didn't bring anything with me, intending to buy the needed this here."
"Ara? That is no good, Sakiko-chan, we have to go shopping tomorrow for your clothes and other necessities." Nana exclaimed, suddenly pumped up by the idea of shopping for clothing.
"There is no need. I was about to go out shopping and after that give in my papers at the local school." Sakiko replied, hoping that the kind woman would step down. Sakiko guessed that get grandmother would try to get her cute and very girly clothes, while she wanted clothes in which she could fight, if necessity came. Though, her coat wasn't an attire in which to fight, unless she zipped her coat close, that is. In her mind, tomboyish clothes were in order.
"Is that so? Well, I guess it can't be helped then…" Nana pouted. "In that case, have a safe trip."
"Thank you." Sakiko said and left the house with Reborn's given papers in her coats inner pocket. Once outside, Sakiko turned in the school's direction, since she needed to get there before the office left. She went past a clock and saw that it was already past lunch time, so she picked her speed up a bit.
Once there, Sakiko was stopped by some boys, slightly older than herself, with Elvis' hairstyle and disciplinary committee's armband around their right bicep. "Stop right there. Who are you? You are not a student here."
Sakiko stopped and looked at their hairstyle, not knowing whether to laugh at it or not. Deciding that it would be better not to, she swallowed the laugh and replied to their question. "I'm here to apply as a student."
The disciplinary committee fellows looked from head to toe at the girl, deeming her to be decent enough to be taken to the school's chairman, not to their leader, one of them gestured her to follow him, which she did.
After the formalities in the office and the paperwork done, Sakiko found the escorting disciplinary committee's member waiting for her outside the office. He wanted to lead the girl out of the school, but Sakiko stopped him. "Can you show me where the classroom 1-A is? In addition, I would like to join the Disciplinary Committee."
The disciplinary committee member looked at the girl with a strange look in his eye, but nodded his head saying: "Alright. I'll take you to the leader and he'll decide whether you can or can't join."
"What's your name?" Sakiko decided to ask.
"Kusakabe Tetsuya." The tall boy replied.
"Sawada Sakiko." The girl introduced herself.
"Are you, by any chance, related to Sawada Tsunayoshi?" Kusakabe asked, remembering the often truant boy of their school.
"No." was all the girl replied, no longer inclining on a continued conversation. Kusakabe understood the silent message, after all, he had learned to read the mood of his leader. And his leader was moodier than a girl on period.
Once they reached the Reception room, Kusakabe knocked on the door only to hear a 'come in'. Kusakabe opened the door and Sakiko peeked from under his arm into the room, however, the only thing she was a pair of coaches, table in between them and a couple of plants. By the window leaning against it was thee president of the Disciplinary committee – Hibari Kyouya in all his younger glory. In the back of her mind, Sakiko noted that even when he was her age, HIbari was quite handsome to her eye, but she quickly locked the thought away in the depths of her mind, never to surface. After all, she did not belong to this timeline and he was to be her father's guardian.
"What is it?" Hibari asked in a bored tone, head lightly tilted back, to look at the intruders of his sanctuary.
"Hibari-san, this is Sawada Sakiko. She will be attending Namimori-chuu starting tomorrow and would like to join the disciplinary committee." Kusakabe answered straight to the point, gesturing to the girl behind him. This seemed to peek Hibari's interest, since he asked: "Are you strong?"
"That depends on one's definition of strong, Hibari-sama." Sakiko amended her calling of the boy before calling his name. She couldn't just start calling him Kyouya-sama, like she used to, out of blue. It would make him want to bite her to death through and through, leaving her hospitalized for quite some time.
"Hoo… then fight me." He stated, pulling out a tonfa out of nowhere, but Sakiko only shook her head saying: "Not now. I already have a fighting appointment later today. If you'd like to watch, come to Namimori mountains after classes end."
Hibari adorned a bored expression on his face, as he put way his tonfa, the only indication that he will be there was a nod of his head. Kusakabe understood that it was time to take their leave, he gestured Sakiko to leave Hibari be, and follow him to the exit.
