Recap

"Nao-nii you can trust me, please tell me what's going on."

Naohiko stared at me for what felt like hours, though it was only minutes. He sighed deeply and sat on his bed running a hand through his hair, green eyes locked with my own.

"Well you see..."


I paced the length of the guest room, I'd been pacing the last twenty minutes or so. Shoichi sat on the bed watching me worriedly. Naohiko still didn't tell me what was going on, at least not the details I'd wanted. Why would Naohiko be working with a police force? He's not even out of university, hell he's not even going to school for anything that would have to do with the police force! He's going to school for business! Nothing makes sense.

'Miyuki, I'm helping a police force here. I can't give you anymore details just know everything is okay, and please don't tell our parents.'

His words echoed in my head, I didn't understand why a police force would have him working for them. I was distracted from my thoughts from a tug on my arm. Shoichi placed both of this hands on my forearm tugging me closer to him.

"Miyu-chan please sit down and tell me what's wrong." His green eyes met mine begging me to sit. I sighed, sitting down next go him and explaining what Naohiko had just told me. Naohiko hadn't told me not to tell Shoichi, I guess he expected me to anyway.

Shoichi ran a hand through his rust colored locks before turning to look at me. "Maybe it's best to leave it be for now? Naohiko doesn't usually keep stuff from you, if he's not willing to give you details now maybe it's for the best." His gaze held mine as he spoke. I felt a grin spread wide across my face. I threw my arms around his neck causing both of us to fall back onto the bed. "M-MIYUKI!" He cried out trying to push me off of him. Giggling I pulled away and helped him sit back up. "I'm sorry Sho-chan, you're right. If Nao-nii won't tell me details now maybe it is for the best." I moved to get off the bed, grabbing Shoichi's arm I dragged him off with me. "Let's go, Naohiko needs to buy us dinner."


"We're going to my favorite barbecue restaurant, okay?" Naohiko turned to the two behind him as he spoke, he took a few steps walking backwards waiting for them to agree. He noticed Miyuki and Shoichi's eyes widened at his antics and chuckled under his breath before turning back around. "Are we going by train?" Miyuki's tone sounded weary, Naohiko assumed Byakuran took them on the train during rush hour. He'd find out if it's true later though. "Nope! People will be getting off work soon, I'll get us a cab."

Naohiko lead the two to a crowded street so it'd be easy for him to catch a cab. He reached to grab Miyuki's arm after seeing how crowded the area was, after making sure her and Shoichi were close enough to him, he started pushing past the groups of people standing on the middle of the sidewalk talking. You'd think they would at least move to the side for people to get by them, it almost made him miss his home town. Eventually he was able to flag a cab down, though a woman tried to take the cab for herself.

"I need this cab, I'm late for work!" Miyuki glanced at the woman before standing before the three of them, she was beautiful. Naohiko just scoffed at the woman, while Shoichi looked confused. "Call your own cab, we have somewhere to be too. I'm sure the hostess club won't mind if you're a few minutes late." He placed his hands on his sister's shoulders pushing her gently towards the open taxi. "Go ahead and get in you two, don't worry about that woman." Miyuki and Shoichi glanced at each other before complying with what her brother said.

"Umm Nao-nii?" Miyuki spoke confusing evident in her voice. Naohiko glanced over his shoulder from the front of the taxi. "Don't worry too much about that woman. She is a hostess, they think their looks can get them anything they want. They show up to work an hour or two early to get their hair and makeup just right, I'm sure she wasn't actually late. Though, even if she was, she made no attempt to call a taxi down herself, she shouldn't of expected me to give up ours." Naohiko looked annoyed just talking about it. The driver agreed with him, telling the group things like that has happened many times.

"Okay, this is my favorite restaurant in all of Tokyo." Naohiko stood before a small building that was pretty well hidden. He lead Miyuki and Shoichi into the restaurant and to a booth in the back corner. Miyuki sat on the side of the booth that was against the wall, Shoichi moved to sit beside her, leaving Naohiko the other side of the table. A waiter who looked around Naohiko's age placed menus before them and lit the small grill in the center of the table. "You haven't been here for awhile Saito-san." The waiter spoke to Naohiko after he lit the grill for them. "I've been busy with work, though my little sister and her best friend are visiting me so I thought I'd treat them to my favorite restaurant." Naohiko spoke cheerfully to the waiter. "My father will be glad to hear this is your favorite restaurant. Would you like your usual?" Naohiko glanced at Miyuki and Shoichi, then back at the waiter. "Yeah, make it large enough for three people." The man smiled at the group and left to fix their order.

"So-" Naohiko was interrupted by a high pitched voiced.

"Nao-kun!" A blonde foreigner quickly made her way to their table, Miyuki frowned at her seeing her top was cut really low and such a short skirt. Glancing at Shoichi she scoffed under her breath and nudged him in the side. The boy's eyes widened as he glanced at Miyuki, who looked rather annoyed. Did Miyuki get the wrong idea? He wasn't staring at the foreigner for /that/ reason. He was shocked at what she was wearing! He wasn't interesting in her or anything.

Miyuki whispered under her breath to Shoichi. "She's weird, I don't like her." Shoichi almost sighed in relief, Miyuki wasn't upset with him, she was trying to get his attention.


I don't mind foreigners, however, this one is strange. I frowned watching her bend over slightly before Naohiko, the woman needs a top that covers more. Though I also noticed she was speaking to Naohiko in broken Japanese and mainly English, Naohiko spoke English rather well. I couldn't understand much of what Naohiko was telling her, though he looked irritated himself. It took a few minutes of Naohiko speaking to her, but she finally left. Before I could question him about the woman our waiter returned.

"Amber finally left?" The waiter looked at Naohiko as he spoke. Naohiko gave the waiter a short glare before responding. "Yeah, she's really annoying. I thought it's usually only foreign men who come to Japan and act like that." "Act like what Nao-nii?" I questioned. "Nothing, nothing. Don't worry about it, you'll understand when you're older."

I leaned closer to Shoichi to whisper to him. "Naohiko thinks we're children." Shoichi glanced at Naohiko, who started a conversation with our waiter. "Well, you are his little sister, he probably doesn't like to think about you growing up. Though it is strange to see a foreign woman act in such a way." I nodded in agreement.

"Here's your food, enjoy." Our waiter set a large plate of raw meat before us. "Would you like me to just grill it?" Naohiko questioned us. "That's fine with me, Miyu-chan?" Shoichi turned to me in question. "Naohiko, cook it well done." Naohiko rolled his eyes at me before replying. "I know how my /adorable/ little sister likes her meat cooked."


"Let's go Sho-chan!" I tugged on Shoichi's hand leading him down the streets of Tokyo.

"Turn left on the next street Miyuki!" Naohiko called out from behind us. He'd been calling out the directions to his apartment from behind us since we'd left the restaurant. "M-Miyuki slow down, you're going to run into some-" I felt myself crashing into another person on the street, they started to fall back taking me with them.

"Miyu-chan this is taking falling for me to a whole new level, I guess you wanted me to fall for you too huh?" I froze hearing the voice from under me, what are the chances of running into him? This city is huge! Does he live around here? Slowly I glanced down at the person under me, my eyes wide in shock. Apparently me sitting on top of him doesn't phase him at all, since he still has that huge grin on his face. Wait! I'm sitting on top of him! I quickly scrambled off of him and moved to stand beside Shoichi. "B-Byakuran." I frowned a bit hearing myself stutter. Shoichi stepped forward holding out a hand to help the boy stand. "Thanks." He took Shoichi's hand and was pulled up.

"Miyu-chan, Sho-chan-" His face went blank for a moment as he locked eyes with Naohiko who was oddly quiet. "Saito-san...?" It sounded like he was questioning what he should call Naohiko. "Where you going, anywhere special?"

"Just back to my apartment, we had dinner at a barbecue restaurant earlier." I glanced at Byakuran. "Have you ate dinner yet?" Byakuran nodded happily. "It was real food right?" Byakuran ignored my question asking one of his own. "Can you cook Miyu-chan?" Confused by his question I answered honestly. "Yeah, I enjoy cooking." Byakuran glanced at Shoichi before turning back to me. "Is that so? I bet you'll make a wonderful wife~" I felt my face heat up and turned to look at anyone but him. "Oh?~ Sho-chan why are you blushing?" I glanced at Shoichi to see he was actually blushing. "I- I'm not-" Shoichi cut himself off with a groan and bent over in pain. "Sho-chan" I went to step closer to him, however Naohiko tugged my arm keeping me from moving. I glanced back at him in confusion, though he just shook his head in response.

"Byakuran, tomorrow around noon Miyuki and Shoichi are going to catch a train home. If you'd like, you can stay again tonight, you know, since you didn't murder anyone last time." Naohiko chuckled to himself while me and Shoichi (who'd just stood back up) glared at him. It's not funny. Byakuran turned out to be a good guy but who just invites strangers to spend the night? Naohiko needs to be more careful.

Byakuran smiled at me. "Miyu-chan, would you like me to stay tonight and see you off tomorrow?"

"I suppose, if you must." With that I reached for Shoichi's arm again heading towards Naohiko's apartment.

"Turn right at the next road Miyuki!"


Naohiko watched the three walking before him. He couldn't place his finger on it but there was something strange about that kid Byakuran. Most people would never invite a stranger to their house to stay the night, especially if they were already suspicious of the person. However Naohiko wanted to study Byakuran's character, the night before he'd plan for him to stay the night so he could, however, work called. Naohiko had hesitated a moment before telling Byakuran he could spend the night last night, though Miyuki could defend herself if needed. It's almost like the boy isn't dangerous now, but, he could be dangerous in a few years? Maybe that's what it is? Naohiko groaned in annoyance. All that boy cares about now is teasing Miyuki and Shoichi it seems. So why is there something about him he can't figure out? Maybe tonight he'll understand Byakuran more.

"Miyuki take the next left and the apartment will be on the right!"


"Byakuran!" I turned sharply to the white haired nuisance. "Stop doing that!" He just continued to smile innocently almost as if he didn't just jam his fingers into my side.

"M-Miyuki..." Shoichi squeaked out, I turned to notice for the first I was within his person space after jumping to my left on the couch. "I'm sorry Sho-chan!" Quickly I moved back to the center of Naohiko's couch. I hate being ticklish.

"Hello?"

I glanced over my shoulder to see Naohiko on his phone.

"Oh hey Akira!"

Hearing the name I turned completely around, sitting on knees while looking over the back of the couch.

"Isn't he in America?" I heard Shoichi mumble under his breath. That seemed to catch Byakuran's attention as he turned to look at Shoichi in question.

"Naohiko's childhood friend, he got Miyuki into Bojutsu."

"You're coming back to Japan?"

"For how long?"

Naohiko's brow furrowed.

"Will you be visiting Namimori? Your parents miss you." Naohiko glanced up at me. "It seems Miyuki misses you too."

"Bojutsu? Are you any good Miyuki?" Byakuran leaned back on the couch glancing up at me.

"Of course! Naohiko is he coming home?" Akira had been like a second older brother to me, my mom would say he seemed more like a brother to me than Naohiko. Though since Naohiko hated to lose at /anything/ he refused to accept that and started acting more like a brother. I was in elementary school at the time. Akira moved to America after he finished high school to go to an American university, I hadn't seen him in two years, though sometimes he sends me letters or small packages in the mail.

"Yeah, he says it'll be in two weeks. He also says you better not be slacking." Naohiko replied.

"Can I talk to him?"

"Sure, in two weeks." I frowned at Naohiko as he said goodbye to Akira and hung up the phone. I wanted to talk to Akira too.

"Miyu-chan, pick a movie!" Byakuran tugged my arm causing me to turn back around on the couch.

"Fine."


"Wake up, it's ten am you've got two hours before your train leaves." Naohiko shook my shoulders.

Ugh, why did we stay up so late last night? Stupid movie marathons. I looked at Naohiko through half lidded eyes. He actually looked well rested, his green eyes were bright and his brown hair wasn't a mess like he'd just woken up. Stupid Naohiko not looking like a train wreck in the morning. Seeing the look Naohiko was giving me made me assume I happened to look like one.

"I'm up, I'm up!" I pushed the blanket off of me and sat up rubbing my eyes. "Please get out so I can change."

I moved towards my suitcase, picking up a purple t-shirt and some white shorts, then heading to the shower.


"Miyu-chan, I'm happy I got to spend time with you this weekend!" Byakuran stood before me and Shoichi at the train station. Naohiko had already told us goodbye and left because something had came up at work. I was still a bit upset I didn't get the answers I'd wanted from him about 'work'. "It was also nice to meet you Sho-chan." Shoichi nodded in agreement.

"It was nice meeting you in person Byakuran, maybe you can visit us next time?"

"Of course! We'll also chat everyday online right?"

"Yeah, we should board the train now. I'll message you when I get home. Bye."

"Bye-bye!"

Byakuran waved at us as we entered the train.

"Sho-chan, I'm still sleepy. " I groaned plopping in the seat by the window. After sitting down beside me, he turned to glance at me.

"Well, you can sleep for the next two hours."

"I don't want to sleep if you stay awake and have to be bored for two hours." I laid my head on the back of the seat, looking at Shoichi as I spoke. I noticed a light blush across the bridge of his nose and smiled at him.

"I'll probably sleep too, my sister is going to expect to me do a lot of chores when I get home. So I should just rest now." He looked weary at the thought.

"Do you really think she avoided doing your chores this weekend, and just waited for you to get home and do them?" The look Shoichi gave me answered my question.

"Haha, poor Sho-chan. Naohiko did my chores for me onetime when I stayed the weekend at Kyoko's house." I laid my head on Shoichi's shoulder as I spoke.

"M-Miyu-"

"Shhhh, just rest Sho-chan." I cut him off, closing my eyes.


"How was your weekend? Did you two have fun? Did Naohiko feed you real food? I hope you didn't eat junk all weekend."

"Akiko, calm down. Let her answer one question before you ask ten more." My father laughed, pulling me into a hug.

"It was great, we had fun, Naohiko didn't cook himself but we had decent food." I paused noticing the look I was getting. "Naohiko is a horrible cook mom."

My father laughed at that. "He needs to marry a woman that can cook then, you had a good time too Shoichi?"

"Yeah, the city train was...interesting." I frowned hearing that.

"We rode it during rush hour, never again." I spoke glancing at my parents.

"I see, well let's get to the car, we'll take Shoichi home first." My father reached to take my luggage.

"Oh!" I spoke after everyone was in the car.

"Akira-kun is coming back to Japan in two weeks, I don't know if his parents know yet. He called Nao-nii last night."

My mother looked at me through the rear view mirror. "That's great, we'll have to have him over for dinner sometime then."

"What did you two do while in Tokyo?" Dad asked from the drivers seat. I glanced at Shoichi before speaking. "We went to the Hie Shrine, it had an escalator. Which was weird. Oh! We also made a friend at the shrine." I gave Shoichi a look before continuing. "His name is Byakuran, he's Shoichi's age." I paused seeing the look dad was giving me. "Naohiko met him too dad." I'd have to text Naohiko later the story, so we don't contradict each other later when they ask him about Byakuran.


I awoke with a jolt, it felt like someone was staring at me. I glanced to my right where my desk is.

"Reborn!" I stared at the baby sitting on my desk, then glanced at my alarm clock. Six am, I didn't get to sleep last night until eleven. I guess that's not too bad.

"How did you get in my room?" His smirk left me a bit worried. "Actually, I'm not sure I want to know."

"Well, what brings you here?" I rubbed the sleep from my eyes as I spoke.

"You will start your Vongola style training today. Grab your bo staff and go downstairs for a light breakfast. You have twenty minutes."

"Wait, what?"


Well, I'll try to update soon. Thank you to those who review, favorite and follow this story. I hope it's starting to get more interesting.

Honestly I'd hate to wake up and Reborn be right there and then he says there will be training. I'd probably cry. Well, Miyuki doesn't know much about training with Reborn yet though xD

Oh if you like Colonnnello I have a one-shot up with him, I'm also working on a Bel one-shot for a friend that'll be up eventually.
