I do not own Katekyo Hitman REBORN!

"KYAA!"

In that early morning, shouts and squeals were heard from the Vongola mansion. The group were currently in the living room, enjoying a small break from their training. It wasn't often they get to take the day off from their training, but their parents had decided it was putting too much stress on them to train at this time. Plus, most of the 10th generation had started to take on missions away from Italy lately, so the kids had been self-training anyways.

Yukine narrowed his eyes at the teenage girls, who were all crowed around the TV for no reason. He opened a can drink, and sat down on the long, elegant couch of the living room. "Why the heck are you screaming for?" He rubbed his eyes, yawning. Seriously. If he ever went deaf, it would be because of them.

Val turned to look at him, honey-colored eyes sparkling with excitement. "Hoshimiya Izumi is on TV!"

"Who…?" The boys all stared at them, questions appearing from all over the place. Who's the person that's causing them to scream this loud?

"Ahaha! We don't know who that is!" Aoi laughed, placing his hands behind his head. He grinned at them. "Could you tell us?"

The girls gaped as the boys looked at them with confused expressions. "YOU DON'T KNOW?!"

"Why the hell would we bother with that kind of shit?" Tatsuya raised an eyebrow, leaning against the wall.

"She's the popular top idol whose debut song skyrocketed on the charts! Seriously, when it was released, it sold more than a billion copies in less than ten minutes!" Shiori informed them, after throwing a pillow at her older brother. She glared at him. "And it's not shit, Onii-sama. She's awesome."

"So, you were fangirling?" Notto blinked in surprise, slipping his juice box. It wasn't a surprise that the younger girls, Mana, Ai and Mayu were fangirling. But if he knew anything about the elder girls, they weren't exactly what one calls "girly". In fact, he liked to think of them as being scarier than the boys. Of course, if he were to say that, they would definitely be furious with him. So the boy kept his mouth shut and continued to sip his juice box.

"She's really pretty~!" Mana protested, pouting.

Ai smiled shyly. "W-Well, I really l-like her songs…"

"Boys don't understand us!" Mayu proclaimed.

"Haha! Is that so?" Kazuto laughed.

"I don't understand to the EXTREME." Shintaro stated bluntly, nodding to himself.

"Shh!" Yukino placed a finger to her lips, glaring, mostly at the older teenage boys. They just gave her a blank look. "She's about to do her live!"

The boys looked at each other and shrugged. All of them settled down on the couch or on the ground, awaiting the performance on the screen.

In the screen, a large stage was focused on. They could see fans with lights in their hands, and while the concert hall was dimly lit, a giant beam of light shone brightly on the stage where a girl was. She looked about their age, walking towards the front of the stage. She had slightly wavy, about mid-length, pale pink hair that held a single braid in it. She regarded the audience with warm, pink ruby colored eyes. The girl wore a red, black and white dress decorated with vines and roses. She held the silver mike in her hands up to her lips.

The beautiful girl's lips curved. "Have you been good, my little cage birds?" Her voice was melodic, smooth and calm like the ocean's surface.

"Yes!" The audience shouted loudly. The girls in the living room also shouted that, their eyes eager. The boy just looked at them as if they were debating if the girls were stupid, or if they were just plain crazy. They decided on both.

Izumi smiled slightly, closing her eyes briefly. "I haven't been good myself…"

"So cool!" Her fans shouted, throwing their arms in the air as they waved them around. Again, the boys looked at the girls as if they had come from another planet. Or, they have lost their minds. Whichever was perfectly fine to describe them right now.

"You should go out to sea sometime. The sea can make you honest with yourself…" Izumi raised her hand, and the performance started.

Pretty skies turn off the light,

The stars at night sing a lullaby

Don't cry,

Don't let the tears spill down your face I'll tell you it's such a waste,

I won't let your heart break any more.

The girls kept cheering and squealing so much that the boys had come to find it as just plain annoying. While the girls listened to the performance intently, the boys kept covering their ears whenever the screams got too out of hand. Though, they have to admit, the idol had a pretty good voice and dance moves. No wonder she was popular.

Your heart can't break,

Pick up the pace, and let the times replace any pain,

It's insane when you're only playing a childish (a wink wink) game

I love it so don't you know,

That pain aint' worth it no

And maybe one day the pain will stop itself but until that time if you need to rewind

Just sing this song to yourself

Cause it was written for no one else but the person who should be

Happier than anyone…

The performance ended moments later, and there was a sudden uproar in cheers as the fans screamed with all of their might. Really, the boys were considering getting headphones to protect their ears…

Izumi smiled, and waved at her audience. Roses and gifts were thrown at her feet. Yukine blinked, narrowing his eyes. Her smile didn't reach her eyes. Why…?

They turned off the TV as a commercial came on after the live. The girls leaned back, sighing happily. They looked as if they were in a state of bliss.

"I do not get girls," Yukine stated bluntly, and the other males in the room agreed. The kids got hungry, so they ran out of the room to get snacks from the kitchen.

"Oh, that's right!" Sayuri snapped her fingers, and went over to Val.

The younger girl looked at her older cousin in confusion. Sayuri pulled out something from under her shirt, letting her cousin see what it was. Val's mouth fell open when she saw the beautiful necklace with a sun charm glowing with Sun-class flames.

"Y-You're-!" Val started to sputter, not believing what she was seeing.

Sayuri placed a finger to her lips, winking. "Not quite yet. You have to clear my trail first."

Val managed to calm herself down. "What do you want me to do?"

Sayuri gave her a black board and a pen. "I want you to get me Hoshimiya Izumi's autograph."

…3…2…1… "EH!"

"You want me to get the number one idol's autograph? Personally?!" Val's mouth fell open in shock as she held the autograph items in her hands.

"Val, it's not good to leave your mouth open. It'll attract flies." Shiori smirked.

That made the girl snap her mouth shut. She looked at her cousin. "Wait, why? I mean, I get that you're a fan and all but couldn't you just buy her stuff then? They usually have her autograph."

"No way~! I want it to be personally written to me!" Sayuri smiled brightly. "That's why you have to get it!"

"How do you expect her to get in? If this person's as popular as you say, then it would be difficult to get to her." Yukine pointed out, raising an eyebrow. He was looking amused with that smirk of his.

"We dress up as TV extras and fool them." Yukino replied simply. "What else do you suppose we do?"

"'We'? You're going with me?" Val blinked in surprise.

"That's okay, right?" Yukino looked at Sayuri, a look that threaten to punish the older girl if she said no.

Sayuri shrugged. "As long as you get it, I'm fine with whatever method you do."

"That's a stretch." Shiori muttered under her breath.

"You could just take out the guards and steal their passes." Yukine suggested, now looking bored. He seriously didn't care about this shit. It was just some pop star, right? He didn't understand what the big deal with that girl was. She didn't look like anybody who could make herself useful in a real battle. She was probably one of those popular girls who can make herself pretty and look down on others. Oh well.

"I'm not sure if you know this or not, but we don't want to live the rest of our lives as fugitives." Val said slowly, as if speaking to a child. Honestly. Doing that will only raise a commotion and it was a wrong thing to do. Then again, sneaking into the place was wrong too…

"But she's a popular idol, you know? She even has her own bodyguards. Though, they're just a group of her biggest fans who tend to call themselves 'Lady Izumi's Royal Guards'. It's a pretty cheesy name." Shiori pointed out, shrugging. "I hear they're really protective."

"Ugh! Why is this all so hard?" Val whined, sighing.

"You do realize you can just use Onii-sama's illusions to sneak in undetected," Shiori suggested, smirking at their faces.

That caused them to stop and think about their life's choices. Yukine snickered. "Wow, you two sure are smart." Sarcasm dripped from his voice, and he looked highly amused.

Yukino glared at her older twin. "Oh, shut up bastard." She then turned to Tatsuya after ignoring her brother. "Would you?"

The Mist user was silent for a moment, before he let out a sigh. "I have a bad feeling that you guys will continue to bug me until you force me to do it anyway. So what's the point of arguing?" He let out a yawn, rubbing his eye. "I'll do it. Stop giving me those creepy looks."

Val and Yukino smiled brightly as they clapped their hands together. "Yay~!"

"Oh, maybe Ayami-nee could help!" Shiori spoke up. "She can use illusions too."

"No. I don't want her here. I work alone," Tatsuya growled low under his breath, glaring at his sister.

"Onii-sama, you should really learn how to respect girls." Shiori hid her smile behind her hand, and she waved off her brother's pointed look.

"Okay, so our game plan is to sneak into the place undetected using Tatsu's illusions?" Val concluded, still unsure about the whole idea.

"She's having a concert near here soon, actually." Sayuri smiled, waving a flyer in hand. She handed it to Val, and the girl scanned over the contents. "Italy is her homeland after all."

"Seriously? Well that's something," Yukine blinked.

Yukino smirked at her brother. "Ara, are you interested in her now?"

"Che. I don't have time for that shit." Yukine scoffed. That earned him several smacks from the females in the room. "Dammit…"

"Val, are you going to school tomorrow?" Sayuri questioned, looking at the young Vongola boss. They had moved on now.

Val nodded. "Yeah. I've been absent for a while, so I should probably go back." She stretched, sighing. "I have a lot of make up for."

"I'm sure your classmates will help you." Sayuri smiled. "If not, the twins and Aoi can. You're all in the same class after all."

"Sometimes, that part concerns me…" Val muttered under her breath.

"What?"

The girl shook her head. "It's nothing. So, school huh?" She inwardly groaned, flopping down on the couch. "I have to wake up early."

"You always do for morning training," the twins pointed out, raising an eyebrow. It was almost scary how much they can be in sync.

"Yeah, but it's to go be with people! As you all know, aside from our Famiglia, I am socially awkward."

Tatsuya snorted. "Yet you're the school's 'Princess'. How does that work?"

"I don't know! I didn't even come up with that!" Val threw her hands in the air, before she covered her face with her palm. "It's because I haven't been around people before we met five years ago."

That made them silent. They remembered the reunion, and they remembered Val. In fact, it was at that reunion when everything fell into place. Their destinies came together, tangled in the journey, the red strings finally meeting. It was the day they made an oath to their boss.

"To experience new opportunities, you must make the effort to take that step forward." Shiori broke the heavy silence, snapping everybody out of their thoughts. It was no time to dwell on the past.

"I know. I'll try. I'll interact with people as the person that I am," Val made herself sit up, bangs falling into place.

"But you must remember that you are 'Sleeping Beauty'."

"…Of course."

The song was written by Anya Dumas. Do not use it without permission or I shall hunt you down with the Mafia! MUHAHAHA! Yeah, I'm crazy now since I spent my life time to write this. XD

Sorry for the short chapter! I promise, the next one will be longer! This chapter is setting up the stage. Sort of. Review~! :)
