AN: Hello again! It's been a week since my last update! I said that this story was going to be updated weekly didn't I? Don't be surprised! I tend to write my chapters ahead of time because I panic otherwise.

I've been thinking... I can't seem to make Squalo or Hibari work for Tsuya... I mean, I love Hibari and everything, but Tsuya just wouldn't be able to have a long lasting relationship with him. At best, they could be best friends, but that's all I can see. I have this thing with making sure that two people can love each other based upon actions and personality traits. So far, Tsuya has been a rather weak and emotionally unstable girl. These characteristics will annoy Hibari to no end. Squalo, however, is much kinder than Hibari and will regard Tsuya with much more affection.

For some reason, I came to the conclusion that Dino should replace Hibari in the romance aspect of the story because he fit everything that Tsuya would need in a lover... Hehe I'm really sorry to all of you who were rooting for Hibari/Tsuya... So, the story is now Dino/Tsuya/Squalo? Come to think of it, the story seemed to lean towards Squalo mostly... (*sheepish smile)

As a small recap of the previous chapter:

Tsuya manages to get lucky and the Yamamoto family takes her in. The same night that she moves into the Yamamoto household, she decides to sit in on the beginning of the Lightning Ring Battle. In a twist of fate, however, the fifteen year old Lambo appears to fight and to deliver a package for Tsuya. Upon opening the package, it is revealed that the ten year later Tsuya had sent the package to the present Tsuya with a letter that began with these words: "You do end up becoming the Varia's Cloud Guardian."

What is in store for Tsuya now? This chapter is a bit shorter than the previous two, but it provides with a load of new information and questions.

Chapter VIII: Revelation

I was able to get back into the Yamamoto household without much problem, but I wanted to avoid Takeshi. In the end, I woke up extremely early and told Yamamoto-san that I was going to explore Namimori. I ended up sitting on the steps in front of Namimori Shrine, in my teal blue v-neck, and black jeans, reading the letter from my future self.

Hello Me from ten years ago!

I'm sure that you have a lot of questions, like why I'm sending this package to you. Well first of all… You do end up becoming the Varia's Cloud Guardian.

Hehehe! That must come as a shocker, huh? Well, it's not really surprising. When we were still in our world, Xanxus gave us the Varia Cloud Ring. By the way, that ring is a fake. I guess we should have paid more attention to the manga while we were reading it. Since there was no Cloud Guardian during the Future Arc, there was no Cloud Ring. I'm guessing that Xanxus saw potential in us. Just so you know, I'm sending this in the middle of the future. Millefiore has risen in power, and Tsuna's already dead… Well, my Tsuna not yours. You know what's going to happen, and I know what's going to happen. So, you're going to have to train hard.

I'm going to let you know right here and now…

I'm getting married.

I'm not telling you who. I'll let you figure it out on your own.

The camcorder has a video proving that you are a part of the Varia in the future. I suggest that you watch it with Lussuria because he'll be the only one that'll be happy. The vial contains the cure to the poison used in the wristbands during the Sky Ring Battle. Drink it ahead of time.

Good Luck. Trust me, you'll need it.

At this point, my mind was in a jumbled mess. The Varia Cloud Ring was a fake. I have to train hard. The future me is getting married. I have to watch the camera's recording. I have the cure to the fatal poison to be used in the Sky Ring Battle. I pulled at my hair in frustration. Things just get more complicated as I go, huh? And who the heck do I MARRY?

"This is utter dog poo." I complained, already on my way back to the hospital. "This entire situation smells like shit."

Pausing in the park, I decided to take out the cigarettes from my Varia jacket, which was tied around my waist. I stared at the package before shrugging and taking a cancer stick out, lighting it up with the lighter before putting both the pack and the lighter back into my pocket. I tried to copy my cousin, but I ended up gagging on the smoke that filled my lungs. I generally had the most sensitive gag reflex in the world, so I had to hold my breath to stop from throwing up. When the urge to puke passed, I let out the toxic smoke from my lungs and proceeded to cough out a lung.

I dropped the cigarette on the floor and stomped on it with my flip-flops. Then, I spent the next five minutes bent over and coughing. Aw forget it! I don't know how Shin-kun, Gokudera, and Shizuo do it, but I am NOT getting lung cancer because of something that horrid feeling.

Now, one can imagine the looks that I received from passing parents, but I assure you that they were all worried glances and some glares. Not a single person came to help me. "Bleh." I groaned, standing up straight and catching my breath. "Time to go see Lussuria. I hope I don't get killed." I'm such an optimistic person! (Notice the sarcasm)

Lussuria's room was easy enough to find when I went to visit him. He wailed. I mean he literally wailed from down the hallway about his pain. I cringed at the burst of noise before rolling my eyes, sucking up my cry-baby-ness, and strolled into the flamboyant Varia member's room.

"DOCTOR! HELP ME! IT HURTS! HELP ME!" screamed Lussuria from his bed, where he was tied down, thankfully.

"Could you please be quite, sir?" I interrupted. "It's bothering all the other patients here."

"OH! And who might you be?" Lussuria's voice went back to normal, but he still sounded like a… really loud person.

"I'm Tsuya." I managed to smile at the man. "You're Lussuria, and I'm on a mission."

"OH? What mission would that be?" Lussuria question, looking like he was about to jump up and beat me if I made a wrong move.

I sweatdropped and held up the camcorder. "I'm not threatening you. I'm just here to watch the video on this camera, and I was wondering if you wanted to watch with me."

The dense atmosphere disappeared, replaced by an overjoyed Lussuria. "Come sit next to me! We can watch together!"

If I didn't know it before, I sure knew it now. Gay people were awesome. Nodding, I took a seat next to Lussuria and started the video.

(*& ^$)(* !&$+)(! *$)(*&! )(%$&! _)($*&!+ )($*!_ )($*&&_) (!$*+! )()(* $^&_$(* &!+$)(#&!()%*&^# _(*%&!+ )($*_! (*&%_(* !&#%+!)( *$_)!(

The video frizzes for a moment before the camera focuses on a twenty-four year old Tsuya. This Tsuya has long-layered black hair that reaches her waist. She is much more fit and taller than the present Tsuya, who is slightly overweight and stands at around five three in height. The future Tsuya is wearing the future Varia uniform, except there is barely any yellow on her uniform. TYL Tsuya has her head turned away from the camera, and she is yelling at two people in the background.

"Will you guys shut up! I'm trying to record something here!"

The sound on a knife being thrown is heard and her uniform jacket is cut open on the arm.

"Ushishishishi! The Prince can do whatever he wants."

"Bel-sempai! Don't pick on Tsuya-nee-chan!"

TYL Tsuya sighs before turning to face the camera. Her bangs are shaped in a manner much like the Vocaloid, Kamui Gakupo… In fact, her entire appearance resembles the samurai vocaloid.

"Hello, me from the past! I've got quite a bit of things to say to you, but first…"

TYL Tsuya holds up her left hand to show off an engagement ring.

"It's made of platinum, the diamond is 2 carats, and the two sapphires on either side of the diamond are one and a half carats each. I told you that I was going to get married, remember? I'll let you find out who my groom is by yourself." The older Tsuya smiled mischievously. "This video is proof that you are the future Varia Cloud Guardian, me from the past! If you don't believe me…"

TYL Tsuya narrows her eyes in determination before turning the camera around. The camera seemed to be filming the inside of the Varia Castle in Italy. The camera began to move as TYL Tsuya narrated.

"As you can see, I've been forced to move to Italy during the conflict. I would've stayed in Namimori, but Xanxus-nii-san said that I had to move here. The two fighting back there were Bel-nii and otouto. We're coming up to the main room right now…" The door at the end of the hallway came into focus and the camera was placed on a side table. The video showed TYL Tsuya kicking the door down and quickly ducking as a glass cup sailed over her head. Recovering from the dodge, TYL Tsuya picked up the camera again as she waltzed into the room.

"Xanxus-nii! I need a favor!"

The camera zoomed in to land on a ten year older Xanxus, but was zoomed out as soon as Xanxus glared. "What is it?"

"I need you to confirm that I'm the Varia Cloud Guardian to my past self. Please? I'll make all your dinners for a week?"

"… You're doing it for a month, and it's all three meals." Came the Varia Leader's reply.

"I'm fine with that!"

TYL Xanxus opened both of his eyes to stare at the camera. "Tsuya is my Varia Cloud Guardian. Deal with it."

Then, the video abruptly cut off… Only to friz in again.

This time, Tsuya voice is heard, but the camera is in night vision mode. TYL Tsuya turns the camera on herself and she quietly laughs. "I'm going to visit Squalo. Belphegor booby-trapped my room again, so I have to sleep in Squalo's room. Shhh…"

The camera faces forward again to focus on a door, which Tsuya steadily opens. "… What is it, Tsuya?"

"Belphegor booby-trapped my room, again."

A sigh is heard from the bed before the blanket is opened up. "Come on. Just go to sleep already."

Tsuya gets into the bed and slides under the covers, quietly placing the camera down on the side table. Then, the image frizzes out.

The next time the video frizzes in, it shows the future Varia eating at the breakfast table, and TYL Tsuya is waving goodbye.

The last video that plays is a message to Tsuya from TYL Tsuya.

"You have to train. Right now, you're only as strong as a baby Lambo. Sure you're quick, but you won't last in a real fight. I bet even Lambo could beat you if he wanted to. So, hurry up

I sat on the bed and stared as the recording stopped playing and faded into a blue screen. The future for now, looked like it was going along smoothly. I seemed to have gotten along with the Varia in the future, but some questions were not explained. Firstly, why did I need the cure for the Cervello's poison? Secondly, who was my future self's fiancé? I placed the small camcorder onto the side table and took out the vial in my right front pocket.

The liquid inside the vial seemed to be a mix of three colors. The top layer of liquid was a violet color, the middle layer was clear colored, and the bottom layer was light blue. I watched the liquid swirl around the inside of the vial with fascination and shook it. Some how, like oil and water, the three different colors did not mix together. Confused, I pocketed the vial and stood up from Lussuria's bed, bowed and left with the camcorder in my hands. I needed to think some things over.

Lachance's POV

Alright, Alright! Don't snap at me! Just because I'm not helping Tsuya does not mean that I can't observe the aftermath of some situations.

To my right was Lussuria's bed. The poor flamboyant man seemed to still be in a huge shock over what he just saw. I pulled up my white hood to cover my black beanie and white hair as I leaned back against the wall, crossing my arms despite the fact that my gloved hands brushed against the gun holster strapped to my left hip. This was going to be a while-!

"AHHHHH! MAMA-LUSSURIA HAS A DAUGHTER!"

I winced at the man's loudness, which was cut off when a knife flew over the Varia Sun Guardian's face. Turning my head to the left, I saw as the rest of the Varia was uncloaked from Mammon's illusion. The entire Varia had witnessed the whole of the video. While Belphegor started to attack Lussuria, Levi began to question Xanxus.

"What are you going to do, Bossu?" Ah, a loyal man, but he is borderline annoying.

Xanxus had a wicked grin on his face as he laughed. "Hah! We'll see, dokasu!"

I sighed and leaned back into the wall, allowing the shadows to gather around and phase me through. When I found myself outside, I glided towards where Tsuya was walking and walked right above her with my hands in my jeans pockets. You know, sometimes I wish that I came into existence genderless. That way I would not feel so damned protective over the mortal girl. However, as a man, I am morally bound to keep her relatively safe. I cringed while remembering Tsuya's crying face before sighing and looking down at the mortal. Yeah. I would probably disobey orders in order to keep her safe.

I ended up sitting on a bench in the park as I stared at the glass vial. Inwardly, I winced at my future self's comment on my strength. I wasn't worse than Lambo… Was I? The comment was a blow to my pride, so I felt the need to train. Clearing the thought, I turned my attention back to the task at hand. It was around one in the afternoon, so the park was pretty much empty except for the children and parents in the playground. Fortunately, I had taken a seat on a bench that was far away from the playground and hidden from prying eyes.

Curious, I popped open the vial and downed all three layers of the concoction in one gulp. Nothing happened for about three seconds, but then I felt a fire start to burn in my stomach and through my body. I gasped and fell to the side, clutching my throat. What was wrong with me? Honestly, I thought that I was dying. I couldn't bring myself to breathe, and my body burned.

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flicker. Immediately, My gaze went down to stare at the fake Varia Cloud Ring. Violet flames violently poured from the ring until the ring cracked and broke. I stared at the remains of the ring in excitement until I heard a swish above my head. On impulse, I turned my head to look up, but I could only see the remnants of light blue in the sky above me, which didn't help because the sky was the same color.

Pulling out the camcorder, I turned it on and pointed it at me with the screen flipped to face me. My mouth stretched in an excited grin as I marveled at the sight on the screen. Light blue flames flared calmly above my head. "Deathperation." I gasped in awe, reaching up to touch the gentle looking flames. To my surprise, the flames were not hot, but warm and welcoming. Suddenly, I found myself liking this world again.

Then, I found myself in a better mood than previously. The flame above my head disappeared when I started to stand. Smiling, I decided to go and search for a certain carnivore. My stomach suddenly rumbled, making me smile sheepishly even though I was alone. Well, guess I'll return to Yamamoto-san's home to eat first.

purpleicecrystals: I'm meticulous with writing and school work, but that's about it. My room can become quite the war zone if I didn't clean up once in a while. Hehehe well, I wouldn't call my updating fast… maybe for this story, but not my others. Don't worry. I think that you should take your time with updating your chapters. At least you are not like my friend who has not updated since September of last year, and who promised ten chapters within a month. Honestly, she is way past her promised date. And you're very welcome! I'm glad that you enjoy my story!

Las Nekos del Ying-Yang: Thank you for favoring my story!

alias03: Yes. I realized that Tsuna's house was the common cliché for most of the OC's temporary home in the fanfiction stories that I read so far. No matter how nice Nana is, I find it difficult to believe that Tsuya would be taken in by Reborn. Simply put, I made Tsuya a little too suspicious to the adult characters. Why Yamamoto-san took Tsuya in will be explained in the next chapter. I was having a bit of trouble writing this chapter due to the memory bit. Contrary to most stories, Tsuya will no be an almighty being. I'll explain this in the bonus section. I don't mind short reviews, but I am glad that you decided to give me more of your opinion!

kyokosnightmare: Thank you for following me as an author and for following this story!

Neeky-chan: I like the idea of déjà vu. In fact, I used it in my Final Fantasy VII story, but not to such an obvious extent. My belief is that when someone loses his memory, his body will remember, which will cause some sense of familiarity. Tsuya will be seeing a lot of déjà vu coming from some of the characters… except for Hibari… He's too strong willed. I told alias03 (two reviews above)that I made Tsuya suspicious to the adult characters, so Reborn will definitely be on the look out for her.

KHRLover1997: They are. Which is why I love them so much! XD

IsraAl'Attia-Theron: Thank you for following and favoring my story! I'm glad that you like my story!

MichiyoYuki: Thank you for favoring and following my story!

Behind the Scenes

1) I was asked if Tsuya was going to become a sort of "almighty being" for the storyline. Tsuya will not be an almighty being. Generally, Tsuya only knows the events of the Hitman Reborn series as they were presented. Although Tsuya may know what happens in the next year, she does not wish to change anything. I had a debate over Tsuya's character and role in the story. While I gathered that most OCs that came to the KHR world would want to change the plotline so that nothing terrible happens (i.e. The Simon Famiglia betraying the Vongola) I made Tsuya not want to change the story. The only almighty character is Lachance. However, Lachance also has restrictions. Both Tsuya and Lachance have restrictions because I don't want to turn them into Mary-sues! And remember how I said that Tsuya's a glutton for positive attention? That's why she's not trying to change the plot. She's also selfish without knowing it.

2) This chapter revealed that TYL Tsuya does in fact, have a fiancé. I'm still mentally debating over who her fiancé is. My friend jokingly suggested to make Tsuya's fiancé Longchamp Naito. Needless to say, I was not very happy or amused by the suggestion. Like most of the KHR fanbase, Longchamp is not very popular with me. On the other hand, I wanted to make Tsuya's fiancé TYL Xanxus. The reason for this is because Tsuya has a crush on the technically thirty five year old… and because I wanted to piss off a few of Tsuya's admirers. I am currently choosing between TYLSqualo, TYLHibari, TYLMukuro, and TYLGokudera. My reasons for the first two are obvious because I want Tsuya to end up with one of them. TYLMukuro was only a suggestion to irritate and piss of Hibari. I don't know how TYLGokudera ended up in the mix, but I gathered that he probably found out about her foreknowledge and labeled her a UMA… then fell in love with her… honestly, I have now idea what's going on in my head on the topic. Now, I have Dino on my list of who Tsuya should be with... I mean he's so awesome! And I barely see and Dino/OC stories! I swear... One of these days, yaoi might rule the world... (*sweatdrop) Nothing against gay people, but I'm dreading the day where all I see is yaoi... Hopefully, the guys don't get the same idea that the girls do... Because I will die if yuri becomes common... (*shivers)

3) I honestly thought that there was a Varia Cloud Ring in the beginning. Then, I read that the Varia from the Future Arc didn't have a Cloud Guardian so a Cloud Ring wasn't made. Because of Tsuya's inserted existence, the Varia of the future will have a Varia Cloud Ring.

4) At one point in the chapter, Tsuya said, "…smells like shit." The quote originated from Shizuo Heiwajima from Durarara (one of my favorite mangas/anime) So, I ended up having an urge to make Tsuya try a cigarette. I have never tried a cigarette before, but I've seen people smoke a whole bunch of times. I was also going to make Tsuya a chain smoker, but it seemed like a bad idea because of her condition.

5) The 'possessing two flame types' is completely viable because Xanxus also possesses two flames. Tsuya gets to have Rain and Cloud Flames, and Xanxus has Storm and Sky Flames.

6) Yes, my lovely readers! Lachance is a man!
