After breakfast, I walk toward the music room. I have a sudden urge to go there for some odd reason.
And could I just say that it looks quite grand. But there's one problem...
It doesn't have a piano.
Hayato taught me how to play the piano. It was fun, and a good excuse to get away from paperwork. It also makes me relaxed. No wonder Hayato likes it so much!
So you could say I have come to like to play the piano
(And Reborn seemed to like it when I play. He even makes me play from time to time and all that so yes, I can escape paperwork with the excuse of playing the piano.)
Anyway back to the problem at hand. There's no piano in the room. So I turned around to look for either G or Giotto to buy one, because I'm itching to play one right now. I've been playing the piano for quite a while between all the training in this new life after all. (Puberty came in between but let's not talks about it. Nope. I don't want to think about it. Don't think about it)
The orphanage doesn't have the piano but the church in the village does. I sneaked in one time to play the piano there, so I could see if I got rusty.( I didn't ,once I got used to the change of size that is.) And some people just had to hear it. And it resulted to the village knowing about it. So I was asked to play in any social gatherings there, which delayed some of my training since I couldn't say no.
I was a quite known pianist in the village now that I thought about it properly, and an acknowledged prodigy apparently.
Okay. That's enough reminiscing for now. I should really look for fratello. "Where could fratello be at though..."I thought out loud. I was about to try sensing his flames when he suddenly appeared from a corner. "You were looking for me Rena?" G asked, as if he didn't just appear seemingly out of nowhere right after I said his name.
I stared blankly at him. He's almost like Hayato, always knowing when I called for him from time to time and also appearing out of nowhere. Just without the obvious adoration. I should've expected that though, being that they're related. (And ignoring the fact that their kinda related now that she's his ancestor's sister). I just internally sighed.
"Neh Fratello.." I started. Clasping my hands together and looking at him expectantly (because I always do this when I'm asking a favour from my guardians sometimes and it always works). "Can you buy me a piano please?" I asked. He looks at me with some beads of sweat at the side of his face for some odd reason (like my guardians do when I do this) and then sighed. "Fine" G said. I couldn't help but beam. "Thanks fratello!"
He sighed and I'm still wondering why people do that when I ask people for favours this way.
Unknown to her, she just gave G puppy dog eyes that you can never ever say no to, with her big doe eyes seeming to get bigger and glistering with expectation. The clasping of her hands that's in front of her face adding more effects. Said effects are known as sparkles and flowers that G does not know where it came from and is wondering if their illusions or not.
'The again, she could always do that from time to time without realizing it since we were kids' G mused as he walks toward Giotto's office.
'A technique to be feared' the thought of many that experienced the brunt of those eyes Tsuna, also as Rena, made them experience.
But I guess s/he'll never realize how much it affects people. But then again, that might be the reason it's so effective.

Giotto
'Sigh. There's so much paperwork' the only thought that came to my mind.
I could be outside right now, enjoying the morning breeze. But noooo. My guardians just have to be so destructive and give me so much damn paperwork.
'Speaking of morning...' I thought as I skim at the paper that said Daemon just traumatized a couple of people. And all because they said he's a melon head. Then the smiling face of G's sister, Renata, came to mind. And something pink dusted my cheeks.
The way she smiled so warmly that a warm feeling came to my chest. My ear was filled with a drumming sound, which is probably my heart. And heat rises up to my cheeks. Her smile just had that effect on me for some reason. 'I wonder why though?' I thought, paperwork temporarily forgotten.
Then the doors of my office slammed open which startled me. "...ah. It's just you G." I said. G raised a brow at this but said nothing as he walks toward me.' ...Why is he so quiet...' I thought, because this is not normal. Wait...what if this isn't G?! y thoughts might have been written all over my face because G spoke. "It's still me you idiot". I gave him a sheepish laugh.
"Anyway, Rena wants a piano" he continued. I blinked. "A piano..?" I said. "Yes Giotto, a piano. So I'm going to buy one right now. Don't you dare escape paperwork you damn lazy boss." G said before walking out without waiting for my reply.
"...does she play the piano then?" I asked to no one in particular. My intuition hummed in confirmation.

Deciding to go to the library to read is seriously a good idea. Although they don't have manga, which kinda suck but then again I'm in the past, they do have interesting books.
Books that are considered to be lost in the future that is.
Since I'm sure fratello would take some time to get a piano, I went to the mansion's library to read.
Yup, it's really nice and relaxing.
Then someone came in. I ignored it though. In favor for the book I'm currently reading at the sofa in the library. I'm pretty sure my eyes is shining right now, and smiling, because who wouldn't? You got to read a lot of books that's already lost in my other life!
And so I continued to ignore the other's stares. As I did my best to look relax yet on guard on the same time, not that it's obvious. (Reborn taught me well. And yes, along with the sadism that I rarely show)
And judging by the flame, it's Alaude.
I blinked.
What would Alaude be doing at a library? Doesn't he have CEDEF to run or monitor or something?
So I turned my head to face Alaude that's a meter away from me. "Is there something you need, Alaude?" I asked. He stared, eyes slightly narrowed. Then he spoke "You act like a herbivore yet have a scent of a carnivore. What are you exactly?" I blinked. 'Huh. That sounds like a phrase Kyoya told me before.'
"I'm an omnivore." I answered. It was Alaude's turn to blink, silently asking for an explanation. And an explanation I give.
"An omnivore is something that's either a herbivore or a carnivore. A middle class you could say" I explained. He seems to understand this logic. Well, it's Hibari logic so of course it makes sense to him.
Why do Alaude and Kyoya see the world like the animal kingdom anyway?
"...Omnivore.." Alaude said cutting me from my thoughts. His gaze directed at the nearby bookshelf. It seems that he's testing the way the word rolls from his tounge. Then his gaze settled to me. "Omnivore" he said, looking oddly satisfied while still having that poker face of his that's just like Kyoya's.
It reminds me of the time Kyoya settled on calling me omnivore with a glint of satisfaction in his eyes in doing so.
Then without a word, Alaude left. A few stacks of paper in his hands.
"Well that was weird." I said when I'm sure Alaude is far away from the library and won't be able to hear it. I then continued reading as I wait for fratello to come home with the promised piano.
