"Where...?" You stood in the middle of a grassy field. You could feel the gentle breeze against your skin. A voice rang through your head.

"Sweet child, this is not over yet. It is only the beginning." It's the same voice from before.

"Who are you?"

"I'm growing tired... Restless..." You could feel the ground starting to shake. The grass around you wilted. "I WILL HAVE YOU."

A wave of fear hit you. You became paranoid and started running. Running from what? You don't know, but adrenaline pumped throughout your body. The ground below started to cave in, and you squeezed your eyes shut and attempted to grab hold of anything to keep you from falling.

"Here..." A hand grabbed your arm and held you above the dark pit. "It's me." Who?

You opened your eyes and looked up, but...


The sound of the alarm clock threw you back into reality. The blankets have been kicked off the bed, and the bedding is drenched in sweat. You sat up, taking deep breaths to calm your racing heart. I suppose it's time to go to school. After a visit to the bathroom, you changed into the uniform that was given to you and walked downstairs for breakfast. You walked into the kitchen and found Mrs. Sawada, Tsuna's mother.

"Ohayou gozaimasu... Eh? Where's Tsuna?"

"Ah, he ran off to school already! Reborn said that a morning run would be good for his grades~"

"I-is that so?" You sat down at the table and started to eat. You finished quickly and headed towards school with a scribbled map in hand. That wasn't too hard. You reached the gates of Namimori High, but before you took one step onto the school grounds, you were being called out.

"Hey, you." A tall male with black hair and gray eyes walked towards you and glared at you menacingly. He wore what seemed to be the disciplinary committee armband. You swallowed hard and returned a look that was equally threatening.

"Who are you?" He spoke a few more phrases that you couldn't follow. All you heard was "new student" and... Something that sounds like "kamikorosu?" Whatever that means... You noticed that the students around you walked by quickly, as if they were almost running.

"Um... I'm sorry, but-" You felt goosebumps growing on your arms as you started to feel a deadly aura coming from him.

He crossed his arms and spoke with a low growl. "Do you understand?"

You mumbled. "Obviously not."

He raised an eyebrow. "What?"

You inhaled deeply and looked into his eyes. "I DON'T!" You sprinted across the yard and into the building, hoping he wasn't chasing you. You ran into the safety of Tsuna's classroom, just when the bell rang. The teacher at the desk glanced at you and stood up. He gave a gesture for you to come closer as he spoke.

"Everyone, this is [Name]. She transferred from Italy and will be your classmate from now on. Please treat her well." You bowed as Iemitsu instructed you to and looked around the classroom for a seat. The teacher spoke to you, and you understood "desk" and "Tsuna." You noticed the empty desk next to him and thanked your teacher before going to your seat.


The bell rang, signaling lunch time. You sighed in relief and stretched in your chair. You came to the realization that you had forgotten your lunch box in the kitchen. "Oh dear..."

"What's wrong?" Tsuna noticed that you were in distress.

"Nothing. Is there a... A..."

"A what?"

You tried to say cafeteria, but soon gave up. "I'm going to go to the bathroom..."

Tsuna looked at you awkwardly. "Okay..?"

You felt your face flush in embarrassment and quickly left the room. Now... Where's the cafeteria? I should at least find a vending machine.

You aimlessly walked through the hallways while studying the school's interior. It has been a while since I've gone to school. I don't know what I'm going to do here… I can't even understand their lessons. I mean, the headquarters had plenty of books for me to study from, and Mr. Sawada and Gramps taught me when they weren't busy… But there was only so much I could learn in that amount of time. You gave a heavy sigh and stopped in front of what looked like a juice vending machine. Well, this is better than nothing. Only… I left my wallet, too. Good job. Deciding it was useless, you turned around and headed back towards your classroom. You turned a corner when- BUMP. You've knocked into someone.

"S-sorry!" You quickly bowed and glanced at who- Him again!?

"You…" He narrowed his eyes at you (How sharp can they get?). "You were the one who fled this morning."

"Oh, haha."

"You also screamed in my face." Screamed? I wasn't screaming. "Very unacceptable behavior."

"Sorry?" You didn't know what else to say and walked to the side in an attempt to get away. He seemed to have read your movements and pinned you against the wall. With a tonfa next to your head. Is that… I-is that a tonfa? A weapon in school!? What to do… You gave him a steady look.

"Move aside, or else-"

"I don't know what you're saying. Why don't you try speaking in my language?" What? His eyes had a dangerous shine to them.

"Uh… What do you mean by-" Another tonfa slammed against the wall on the other side of your head.

"Oh… Oh…" Your heart sunk.

"Move." You swallowed and ducked under the tonfa that swung at you. He smirked. "Not bad."

You ran away from him as fast as possible, but he tailed you like a predator going after its prey. You turned around a corner and quickly hid inside the nearest locker. You sat in there, hoping he would lose interest in finding you. After a few moments, you started to feel regret. Wait… What am I doing? Aren't I Tsuna's protector? Why am I running away and hiding? I'm supposed to be strong. I should have fought back. Just when you were about to get out of the locker, he opened the door, nearly ripping it off of its hinges.

"Kamikorosu." What does that even mean!?

You looked at him quizzically before tackling him to the floor. The raven haired student gave you a look of shock for a split second before regaining his composure. You quickly disarmed him and threw the tonfas to the side. You were about to celebrate your triumph when he knocked you to the floor, your hands pinned above your head and his knee on your stomach. He muttered a word you couldn't comprehend, but judging from his sly grin, he seemed to be very entertained.

"What's your name?" Huh? You stared at him with a puzzled face.

"Your name."

"Why?"

"Just tell me."

You sighed in defeat and told him your name. He gave you a nod of acknowledgment and freed you as the bell rang.

"Come to the ... room after school."

"What?"

"You heard me." Yes, but I didn't understand... He spoke a few more incomprehensible phrases coated with venom and walked away.

"...What am I going to do?"
