Akira sat on the porch, watching the soon-to-become Vongola Tenth playing in the lawn. She frowned. Such a small child is goin ta be involved with mafia, Ninth? She thought to herself. Tsuna turned to her and smile innocently. Akira could've sworn that she saw bunny ears. She smiled back at him and Tsuna ran to Akira.
"Akira-nee-san! Play with Tsu-kun!" Tsuna exclaimed. Dear lord, why are ya so cruel ta have such a child go through mafia? She smiled and nodded as she followed Tsuna to the area on the lawn where Tsuna was playing. She smiled and playing absent-mindedly as many thoughts came through her head. The light-brown head boy looked at Akira. "Akira-nee-san?" He asked. Akira blinked and looked at Tsuna.
"Y-yeah?" she asked.
"Are you feeling okay?" Tsuna asked. Akira nodded.
"I'm fine." Akira said.
"Tsu-kun! Akira-chan! Lunch time!" Nana called from the kitchen.
"Oh, look! Your mommy is callin us in fer lunch!" Akira said. Tsuna smiled.
"Let's go eat!" He ran toward the kitchen. Akira looked at his running figure before he fell face-flat onto the ground. Akira face palmed. Oh my god… this kid isn't goin ta get anywhere if he doesn't stop bein clumsy right now. Akira got up to her feet and ran to Tsuna, who was on the verge of crying.
"Don't cry Tsuna!" Akira tried to calm Tsuna down. Tsuna looked up at Akira with teary-eyes. Akira had to restrain herself from trying to jump the child and hugging him until he's out of breathe. "Come on, Tsuna. Have lunch and ya'll feel A LOT better!" Akira smiled at Tsuna. Tsuna smiled back.
"Okay!" he said as he got up to his feet and ran to the kitchen. This kid is too transparent. Everyone will be able ta see his weaknesses and his strengths in the future. Akira's eyes widened. Is that why ya left me ta take care of him, Ninth? So I can protect Tsuna? Akira smiled softly. "Akira-nee-chan! Lunch is going to get cold!"
"Coming!" Akira yelled as she walked toward the kitchen. I'll protect Tsuna, Ninth, even if it costs me my life. Ever since that day, Akira has been with Tsuna. Not once has she gone to Italy to visit the Ninth. Heck, she didn't even leave Tsuna's side.
It's been ten years and Tsuna was now entering junior high school. He's failed in almost everything he did. Akira now relaxed knowing that Tsuna's clumsy. If he's clumsy, people won't even think that he'd be a mafia boss, confirming his safety. Akira was at the kitchen table and Nana went upstairs to call Tsuna downstairs. A few minutes later, I heard some rumbling and looked outside the kitchen door to see Tsuna at the foot of the staircase, on his back. Akira laughed, but not before she paled when she heard a familiar voice.
"Ciaossu!" It said. Akira shifted her eyes to see a baby dressed in a suit. Her face became pale. "I'm your tutor, Reborn." Tsuna started to laugh. Akira turned her head toward Tsuna, shaking her head. Reborn kicked Tsuna's face onto the ground. Akira covered her face with her palm, knowing this was going to happen.
"Ts-Tsuna?" Akira started. "Maybe ya should go get ready fer school. I-I mean yer late aren't ya?"
"Th-that's right! I don't have time for this now!" Tsuna yelled as he ran to the restroom. Akira turned her head toward Reborn to see him smirk at her. Akira paled.
"Ciaossu!" Reborn said. Akira looked at the baby. He doesn't recognize me? Oh thank god! Akira relaxed in her mind, but her face was the same on the outside. Reborn's smirk became wider. Akira gulped silently before Tsuna ran out of the bathroom and up the stairs. A few minutes later, Tsuna ran down stairs with his uniform askew.
"I'm leaving!" Tsuna yelled as he ran out of the house. Akira waved a bit before looking down to where Reborn was. He was gone. HUH? Akira looked around frantically. Wait a sec… I thought I heard someone other than Tsuna say goodbye… Akira looked through her thoughts and memories. Akira's eyes widened as she reached up to her face. If I remember correctly, there was somethin black that flew by my face about half a second after Tsuna left. Then there was, "Ciao, Akira!" Akira face palmed. Oh dear god… he DOES remember me… oh great… here comes the end of my peaceful days in Japan…
Well, this is when Reborn comes into their lives. Heh heh…
