Target III: Chaotic Trio
-SkyFinal

After Nagi moved into Kyouya's place life resumed normally. Well…depending on what the definition of normal was.

Reborn woke Takeshi and Tsuna up with gunshots (blanks fortunately) and had them running to school. Thankfully since Kyouya and Nagi are early risers, and thus were not waking up in fright to the gunshot noises (like me), they could at least have a nice breakfast and bring bento boxes to the two boys since they were spared from running early in the morning.

Nagi, sweet soul, took everything into stride. She was still quite shy but was gradually warming up to us, as well as the craziness happening around the Hibari household. It was quite endearing to see Tsuna, Takeshi and Kyouya acting all sweet and awkward to Nagi. I don't think she really understood what was happening with Tsuna and the mafia, I only told her we were dealing with something that could be dangerous, but she was interested learning self-defense and didn't want to leave.

I wasn't sure if it was because of fate or because she had nowhere else to go.

Reborn still made me run during the weekends so I wouldn't be too tired for work during the weekdays, saying to build up my stamina and get rid of my extra fat (not my fault people here in Namimori were really petite). Nagi joined me sometimes too; surprisingly she was quite adamant in getting exercise and would encourage me to go faster during our run.

"Oi, stop spacing around." Reborn jumped onto the counter. It was another Saturday evening and everyone was at Kyouya's to relax and study. I was the only one in the house, Tsuna went to get Takeshi from the dojo where he was learning his father's sword style. When Takeshi expressed his desire to learn the Shigure Soen Ryu, Tsuyoshi was static and decided to close TakeSushi on Saturdays from now on in order to train his son.

Kyouya and Nagi went to get supplies for school, since it's been almost a month of the new school term, Nagi would be able to transfer to Namichuu. However, after running away from home without any preparations she left all her belongings behind. Kyouya kindly took her out to shop since he was the one most familiar with what she needed as a first-year and also because he had the most time out of all of us. Before they left I snuck money into Kyouya's hand, I made sure Nagi didn't see.

That left me alone with Reborn. Not the greatest company in the world.

"Yes yes…"

"Hmm?" Reborn warned, his locusts flying around his face.

I shivered, Reborn found out my weakness about insects. I waved around my hand to make the locusts not land on the ingredients. "Reborn please, think about food safety. And I made panna cotta many times now, I won't screw up."

Reborn had the sweet tooth for Italian sweets and the number of times I had to make the pudding was insane, luckily cream wasn't too expensive but still, there were only so many things I could add to panna cotta to make it taste different.

"Hmph." The locusts flew away and I quickly opened a window to let them escape. "You and Nagi will be getting a tutor."

"Cool." Stirring the gelatin, it took me a while to let his announcement sink in. "Wait, what? Who?"

"My fourth lover."

"Um, should we report her to the police?"

Reborn glared at me, he had no problem hitting Tsuna but he was against hitting females, lucky for me since I tend to sprout random crap and annoy Reborn…like now.

"No." I could feel the absolute scorn from that single word. "Bianchi will be arriving and will teach you and Nagi some self-defense. So at least if you get kidnapped you know how to escape until we rescue you."

"Hey now, Nagi and I don't need to be damsels in distress. We'll bust ourselves out from any danger."

The condescending stare Reborn gave me made me want to punch him so hard. Instead I decided to give Reborn's share of panna cotta a dash of vinegar when he wasn't looking. Biting my lip to avoid a verbal fight, I placed the dessert into the fridge.

Bastard…

"Maya-nee! Tadaima!"

"Okaeri!" I shouted back.

"Wǒ huí lái le!" A squeaky voice shouted back at me, I'm pretty sure that was Mandarin and the only Mandarin-speaking person was Kyouya…did he transform into a baby?

"Kyouya?"

"Ni hao!" A young girl in a traditional Chinese top bowed down to me, speaking in broken Japanese. "I-Pin, my name!"

Squatting, I introduced myself. "I'm Maya. Nice to meet you."

"We meet again, Maya-san."

"Fong-san!" The Storm Arcobaleno inclined his head, Lichi waving on top of his head, I scratched the monkey's head. "Nice to see you again too."

"Fong, what are you doing here?" Reborn demanded.

"Reborn, nice to see you once more. How long has it been?"

"Not long enough."

Fong hid his smile behind his sleeve. "Well, as you probably heard I had been looking for my apprentice. My search brought me back here in Namimori, where I happened to stop her assassination attempt at young Tsunayoshi."

"I-Pin sorry."

"It's okay, I-Pin." Tsuna reassured the younger girl, smiling gently down at her. "Well, it was scary but it was an honest mistake."

Takeshi laughed. "Yeah, no worries! Fong came by at the right time so no harm done!"

"My apologies." Fong said in behalf of I-Pin. "Her eyesight has become poor now."

If I-Pin is here, I wonder if Lambo will come soon. Those two come in a pair anyways I think…

"Would you like to have lunch with us, Fong-san, I-Pin-chan?" I asked.

"We wouldn't want to trouble you…"

"The more the merrier." Tsuna insisted. "Besides, I think Kyouya would like to see you again, Fong-san."

"K-Kyouya-san!?" I-Pin stuttered, blushing a bright red. "He, he comes!?"

Tsuna squawked as glowing dots started to appear on I-Pin's temple. "Not again!"

Confused, I edged away with everyone. Fong muttered something in Mandarin to I-Pin and the dots faded away. They kind of reminded me of Mahjong tiles, the circle kinds. Tsuna let out a big sigh in relief while Takeshi continued laughing, saying something about explosions and cool tricks.

Oh yeah…I-Pin can blow up.

"What is going on here?"

"Ack!"

Kyouya and Nagi had returned.

The dots reappeared once more in a faster pace, even Fong looked a bit more panicked now.

"Jiù jiu, I-Pin." Kyouya muttered, he too backed away from I-Pin once he recognized what could happen. He motioned Nagi to stand behind him.

"Um guys…" I-Pin kept blushing and now sparks were coming out of her. "What should we do?"

"Yamamoto, throw her up to the sky." Reborn ordered.

"Ehh? But she'll get hurt!" Tsuna protested.

"Trust me, better she blew up the sky than the house."

"She will be fine, Tsunayoshi." Fong said to Tsuna. "She would not want to damage Kyouya's home."

"If you say so…"

"Here's go nothing!" Takeshi picked up I-Pin and his expression changed, winding has arm up he threw I-Pin up into the air with abnormal strength. "Up we go!"

We all watched I-Pin soar up into the air. Seconds later an explosion caused us to duck our heads. "Quick! Someone catch her!"

It was quite comedic to watch everyone scramble around to catch I-Pin, it was Nagi who silently stepped forward to catch the young assassin. Everyone sighed in relief.

Fong smoothed out his robes and folded his hands into his sleeves. "Well, shall we head inside now?"

Before we could take a step a piercing voice stopped us.

"Bwuhahaha! The Great Lambo arrives!"

Aw hell.

A little boy with a gigantic afro hair jumped from out of nowhere in front of us. He was wearing a cow printed body suit and a set of horns in his hair, he was actually pretty cute if he didn't have snot running down his nose and dirt marring his face.

I shouldn't have thought anything, why was I only right now and not before?

"Hey kid, who are you?" Takeshi knelt down and stared in amazement at Lambo's hair. "Whoa, it's real hair!"

"Broccoli monster!" I-Pin shouted and moved to attack, but Nagi held on tight to her.

"Don't touch the Great Lambo's hair!" Quickly grabbing Takeshi's arm to avoid the grenade that was aiming at his face, Kyouya smacked it up in the air with his tonfa with his free hand.

"Haha! What cool toys kids have nowadays!"

I stared incredulously at him. "Takeshi…I have no words for you."

Staring back at Lambo, he was glaring at Reborn and he pulled out more grenades. "Do you remember me Reborn? The Great Lambo will now defeat you here!"

Reborn ignored Lambo.

"How dare you ignore me!" Several grenades flew into Reborn's directions but faster than the eye could see all seven flew back to Lambo and exploded. "Gupyaa!"

"Reborn!" Tsuna glared at his tutor. "He's just a kid!"

"And I'm a baby."

"We already established the fact that you aren't a baby!"

"Tolerate…" Lambo sniffed and reached into his hair.

"Whoa!"

"How did that fit in there!?"

A long, pink bazooka emerged from Lambo's hair. Logically thinking, there was no way that machine could fit into Lambo's hair, but it came out without any dents…maybe Lambo's hair is a version of Ding Dong's pocket.

"Take this Reborn!"

Lambo took aim…

"Reborn look out!"

…and fired at himself.

Pink smoke erupted from where Lambo stood. Coughing and waving at the smoke, Tsuna rushed towards Lambo's location. "H-hey! Are you okay?"

"Yare yare…"

The smoke cleared and a young man surfaced from it. He had short messy black hair and a small tattoo near his eye, the other one he kept closed. A black blazer was worn over a cow printed dress shirt, which was opened until you could see almost his entire chest.

And…here's 10 plus Lambo.

"Ah, he used the Ten-Year Bazooka huh." A lone green eye surveyed around looking at all of us, his gaze landed on Tsuna. "Oh, it's been a while seeing Tsuna-nii look this tiny."

"Are you…Lambo?"

Older Lambo nodded. "Yo, it's been a while Tsuna-nii. Take-nii, Kyou-nii, Maya-nee and Nagi-nee…it's good to see you too. How nostalgic." He murmured, nodding at those who he identified. Older Lambo then turned to Reborn. "Hey, be nice to my younger self okay?"

"Humph."

"Same as ever." Older Lambo shrugged. "Five minutes is almost up too..."

"Romeo! You bastard!"

A purple mess flew into the direction of Older Lambo's head, he squealed and ducked. "Aw man, not this again!"

"Prepare yourself!"

A beautiful pink-haired woman, holding two purple something, came out from a bush and threw said something Older Lambo. He dodged and the purple glob landed on the grass, dissolving the foliage. Kyouya growled at the damage to his home.

"Hiie!"

"Bianchi, you're here early." Wow, such excitement there Reborn, and I thought she was your lover?

"Reborn!" You could see the hearts floating from Bianchi, she ran forward to scoop the hitman into her arms. "I missed you so much!"

"Good distraction Reborn!" Older Lambo sighed, he saluted to Tsuna and the rest of us. "Well, time's up! Good luck with the upcoming fights!"

Turning to Nagi he mouthed a single word, his face remorseful and guilty. Before Nagi could ask what he meant pink smoke gushed out again and baby Lambo popped back into existence. "Gupyaa?"

If one was to take a step back and look at the scenery, you can see smoking, dying greenery, a woman cuddling a baby into her face and a young cow-printed suit wearing baby bawling his eyes out in front of the Hibari mansion. You'll also see a group of stupefied people standing there just wondering what the hell happened in the last ten minutes.

"Herbivores…" You'll also see the angry tick mark forming on Kyouya's head. "I'll bite you to death!"

Finally, the scenery ends when Kyouya punishes everyone in a fit of rage. More purple globs of something will be flying around, more grenades exploding everywhere, Takeshi's laughter, Tsuna's shriek and Fong and I-Pin doing Tai Chi in the back.

"I swear it's not like this all the time, Nagi-chan."

"If you say so…"

Even Nagi didn't believe me anymore.

"So she's your fourth lover and here to train Nagi-chan and Maya-nee, he's someone from the Bovino Family and wants to kill you and used something called the Ten-Year Bazooka which is a time-traveling bazooka?"

"Correct."

"Unbelievable."

Reborn jumped from Bianchi's lap and kicked Tsuna. This must happen regularly as Tsuna barely flinched from the hit.

"Ow."

"Dame-Tsuna, what's hard to believe?"

"Oh, maybe the fact that a grown woman is your fourth lover, meaning there were three other women who were your lover, so we possibly have a case of pedophiles going after babies." Tsuna sarcastically retorted. "And time-traveling? Seriously?"

He earned another kick on the head.

"Regardless, everything that happened was real." Reborn jumped back onto Bianchi's lap. Secretly I think he wants to get closer to her chest. Reborn glared at me. Oops right, he can read minds, teehee.

"Bianchi, did you bring what I asked?"

"Yes." Bianchi reached behind her and rummaged through her bag, she brought out two long and thin packages wrapped neatly. Unfolding one, she revealed three sticks attached by chains. Whipping it in the air, it snapped into a long bo staff, she threw it towards Nagi who clumsily caught it.

The other was a beautiful rapier. It was thin, made of silver and swirls of silver acted as the hand guard. Bianchi held the blade and handed me the grip, I took it and stared at the sword in wonder. "It's beautiful…"

"You won't use it until I can trust you with it." Bianchi warned, I flipped the blade and gave it back to her.

"Gotcha, I might cut myself."

"As for you," Bianchi nodded to Nagi. "I chose the bo staff because it can give you a longer range, gives you enough time to run if the opponent is too strong."

"O-okay."

"Bianchi is also known as the Poison Scorpion. As you already have seen, she specializes in poison cooking."

"Then those purple blobs were actually food?"

"Yes, I don't know why but every time I cook something, it turns out that way." Bianchi looked truly confused. "But I can guarantee it tastes great!"

Something that dissolves vegetation shouldn't be eaten…

"So why did you attack Older Lambo anyways?" Takeshi asked.

Bianchi grimaced, "He looked like my ex-boyfriend, Romeo. He was horrible to me! Every time I see something that reminds me of him I just need to attack him for what he has done to me!"

Takeshi leaned back, away from the angry woman. "I see…"

"Guess we'll be training from now on together Nagi-chan, yoroshiku!"

Nagi grinned. "Yes!"

"Are you really okay with this, Nagi-chan?" Tsuna worriedly asked.

"I-I'll be fine Tsuna-kun. At least this way I can learn how to defend myself from kidnappers."
"Okay…"

"Haha, maybe we can fight each other Maya-nee, since we both use swords."

"I don't have any confidence against you."

"Aw."

Kyouya sighed. "More herbivores are going to live here, aren't they?"

Lambo and Bianchi stared up, looking innocently at Kyouya.

"Wherever Reborn is, I'll stay!"

"Bwuahaha, Reborn must be defeated by me!"

I shrugged at Kyouya. "Sorry, but you are the one with space for all of them."

"This isn't an shelter for strays, Amaya."

"Hey, he called you Kyou-nii. He's sticking with us for a long time if you let him call you that."

"I regret letting you."

"Kyouya, please. Bianchi-san is going to teach Maya-nee and Nagi-chan how to defend themselves, this is the least we could do." Tsuna reminded, "Also, we can't just let a kid live on the streets."

"Until his family gets him back, yeah?" Takeshi added.

"Boss told The Great Lambo to not come back until I eliminated Reborn." Lambo said as he stuck a finger up his nose. "The Great Lambo won't go back until Reborn dies and I'll show everyone that The Great Lambo is great!"

"So…the boss of the Bovino ordered you to kill Reborn, the greatest hitman in the world, and you can't go back to your family until then?"

"Yeah."

"What kind of boss is that!?"

"Don't insult Lambo's father! He's way cooler than you!" The cow-baby screeched.

Tsuna looked at Lambo in disbelief. "Your father was the one who ordered you to do this?"

"W-what about your mother, Lambo-kun?" Nagi asked quietly.

"Mom passed away when I was two." Lambo huffed out. "Father didn't have time to take care of me, so he's been giving me missions to do! He said if I did this mission then he'll make me his second-in-command!"

Everyone else glanced at each other, after hearing the kid's story we knew something was fishy about Lambo's dad. Who on earth sends their kid to fight against someone he can't beat? Ridiculous. It was Reborn who shared more details on the Bovino Famiglia.

"Bovino Famiglia is a weak family, hardly significant compared to the Vongola. However, they are well known for their weaponry. Lambo here is the runt of the family, he's been pretty famous for being annoying and just generally useless. I heard he went on countless assassination missions and actually succeeded. How he survived this long it's a mystery."

Ah.

"Hey hey! Lambo is hungry! Why is everyone not moving!? I want dinner!" Lambo wailed, demanding attention. Nagi was the one to bring Lambo into a hug, she also knew the feeling of being used by parents and not feeling loved at all.

How many times...how many times will I think of this? The children in this world are treated so cruelly, he's so young but he's already has skeletons in his closet.

"Lambo, dinner will be soon." I said soothingly. "Just give me a few minutes to finish it, we got more people than I thought."

"Lambo wants it now!"

"Lambo, you must wait." Nagi, true to her name, said it comfortingly. She smoothed back his hair. "If you're patient you'll get what you want."

Lambo became silent, listening to Nagi's words. He snuggled closer to Nagi and hugged her, she smiled and hugged him back.

I stared in admiration at the girl, already Lambo was annoying me but Nagi just dealt with it so good-naturedly. "Nagi-chan, you're an angel."

She blushed.

"Alright." I stretched and stood, I wanted to get out of this depressing atmosphere. "Takeshi, could you set up from rooms for Bianchi-san and Lambo? Preferably Lambo's closer to Nagi-chan's room so he's a bit farther away from Kyouya's. Tsuna, help me with dinner?"

Dinner actually went smoothly, besides the fact that Reborn switched his panna cotta with mine. Vinegar and cream do not go well together.

"Ready girls?"

Bianchi wanted to test Nagi and I after dinner. She brought us out to the backyard with two straw dummies out and handed Nagi first a sword. "Cut one in half."

Nagi swung and cut the dummy in half, I whistled. Girl got more power than I thought. She handed the sword to me and before I could swing Bianchi stopped me. "Wait, do it with one hand."

"Okay?" Holding the sword in my right hand, I swung. "Ack!"

I nearly toppled, the sword only went through halfway of the dummy's body.

"I thought so." Bianchi crossed her arms. "Since you're going to be using a rapier, I needed to check if you had the arm muscles."

"Ahaha…."

"Nagi is fine, but you, Maya, need to work on your arm strength. Do thirty push-ups and lift those weights ten times on each arm, five sets. I'll gradually increase it as you get stronger."

I groaned.

I plopped down onto the tatami mat face first. My glasses I already took them off, so the concern of embedding glass into my eye was not relevant.

"Are you okay Maya-nee?"

"Tsuna, I don't know how you do it. I'm so tired..."

"You get used to it."

Twisting my head so I could face Tsuna I replied, "That's true. At least I'm not the one being woken up by Reborn."

Nagi sat next to me, finished with putting Lambo to bed. She shoved a mat underneath my head so I wouldn't get marks on my face, also it was comfier, bless her soul. "Bianchi-san seems nice."

I waved my hand up, showing the weight attached to my wrist. "Hmmm." Weird, I was feeling more drowsy than usual; I couldn't even form words.

"Hey Tsuna," Takeshi questioned. "Do you think we'll get more people coming here?"

I hid my twitch and yawned. Damn, I'm really pathetic for getting tired over running and building arm muscle.

"I think so, Reborn did say I had to find my guardians…"

"What are you talking about?" Nagi curiously looked at the boys.

Tsuna explained everything about the Vongola Guardians, including his heritage and what he had to become. He explained why everyone around him could be put into danger and probably from here on out it would only get crazier.

"Sometimes…I dream." Tsuna said. "Or more likely…see visions? When I-Pin came and attacked me, I saw for a second in another time we were on the school rooftop. Takeshi was there, but Nagi-chan wasn't but another boy was. I couldn't see his face though. Other times I saw people that were friendly with us, people we haven't met yet. Other times…not so friendly…"

Visions? Is it his intuition? I thought only Yuni got those visions…

"You think that boy will come?"

"Yeah." Tsuna turned to Nagi. "Remember what Older Lambo said to us? 'Good luck on the upcoming fights.'. You can still leave Nagi-chan, I'll make sure Vongola will help you wherever you want to go."

Nagi shook her head. "I'll stay, this is the first time I felt so much at home, Tsuna-kun. Older Lambo also called me Nagi-nee, I never had someone considered me as a sibling. I'm loved for the first time, please don't take that away from me."

"Nagi-chan…"

Nagi-chan…

My last thought before I fell asleep.

"Welcome again."

Yawning, I kept my eyes closed. "Hey. Another check-up?"

Laughter. "You could say it like that, but yes. I wanted to see how things are going."

"Well besides the order of people showing up is messed up, everything I guess is going well."

"Yes…a minor concern but can be looked over."

I opened my eyes and looked at the shadow. "Is it alright though? It's becoming really different from I remembered watching and reading."

"Well, the disturbance in the timeline may be a worry but everything that needs to happen will happen on its own accord."

A jolt of unease went through me. "E-everything?"

"I'm sorry, but it needs to happen."

Bitterness choked me from speaking. I shook my head, trying to collect my thoughts. "Please, there must be another way. Can't I stop it?"

"Kufufufu…"

I whirled around. "Hell no, that better be not who I'm thinking."

"Oya oya, what is this? Such a disturbance in the realm of the sleeping."

"You are not welcomed here, mist-user."

"Forgive my curiosity, I just had to investigate over here."

"Leave." This was the first time I heard the normally happy voice turn so cold, so stern.

"I shall take my leave." The intruder's voice remained amused. "However, there is still one

thing I need to guarantee."

Gloved hands gripped my chin and forced me to stare into heterochromatic eyes, the kanji for six glowing.

"You cannot interfere with fate, it is naïve to think so. I'll have you forget until that day happens. I still need her for my use."

A sharp pain went through my head and I knew no more.

"-up! Maya-nee wake up!"

Tsuna, Takeshi, Kyouya and Nagi filled my sight when I opened my eyes. The former helped me sit up and I rubbed my head. It hurt for some reason, like I bashed it against a wall or something.

"What's wrong?"

Takeshi spoke. "Maya-nee…you were having a nightmare."

"Oh." I laughed, "It was probably another nightmare about doing training with Bianchi-san."

"But you're crying." Nagi softly said.

"Eh?" I used the back of my hand and felt water on my face. "I don't…I must really hate training then haha."

The tears didn't stop.

I couldn't remember why.

"Sorry." I kept repeating the word without knowing why. The other three didn't say anything but sat next to me, silently giving me support and company.

"Sorry."

A/N: Sorry for throwing a bit more Japanese there, but I like to keep tadaima, okaeri, and yoroshiku as it is. Thank you for all the follows and favourites!
Can you tell I want to get over with introducing everyone? Haha, I threw in three people in one chapter.
