Hi everyone! Sorry it took so long to update this time. I didn't really want to do this chapter, but we all know that it's necessary. Anyway, let's see how everyone is doing!

Chapter 9: Bianchi

It was a hot summer day when Yukiko and Ryuzaki were taking an afternoon jog to stay in shape for Reborn's torture *ahem* training. "Man it's hot. You want a drink?" Yukiko asked Ryuzaki while looking at the hot sky.

"A drink would be nice…" Ryuzaki answered, still trying to get used to the Japan weather after his long stay in Italy and its cooler weather.

At that, the two could hear a bike's bell from behind them and looked over to see a woman with a helmet and goggles on while riding a mommy bike. Once she approached them, the woman stopped and took off her helmet and goggles to reveal silky long maroon-brown hair and beautiful teal-gray eyes. All in all, she was a true beauty. She tossed Yukiko two cans of soda, saying "Please have it, if you like."

Yukiko caught it with ease saying "Thanks…" while the lady continued along. "Well, that takes care of our drink problem…" she said while offering the other drink to Ryuzaki. Ryuzaki looked at the drinks with suspicion. "Is something wrong Ryuzaki?" Yukiko asked while cocking her head to the side.

"I have a feeling that I know that women, but I can't remember from where. So, I'm a little suspicious of the drinks she gave us; since most of the people I know tend to try to kill us." He explained

"I see… then let's test it." Yukiko poured some of the drink to the ground. Almost immediately after leaving the can, the drink started to smoke and a nearby crow died on the spot.

Yukiko and Ryuzaki watched the chain of events in silence before throwing their drinks away from them. "Well, that answers that question. I still don't know where I met that woman though." Ryuzaki commented as they continued their jog home.

Yukiko and Ryuzaki went into her room with non-poisoned drinks in hand "Reborn, I have something to ask…" Yukiko stopped speaking out of shock

Reborn's face was completely covered with beetles "Hm?" Ryuzaki simply sighed, already used the bugs

"Before getting there… why are you covered with beetles?" Yukiko asked after regaining her composure

"They're my summer minions, they collect information. And from what they said, Bianchi is in town."

After hearing the name, Ryuzaki's eyes widened in realization. "That was it! Reborn, she already tried to kill Yukiko-sama and myself while we were on our run."

Yukiko was confused "So who's Bianchi?"

"A former fellow hitman." Reborn answered

Yukiko was about to ask more when the doorbell rang while someone yelled "Italian Pizza delivery!"

"Pizza? Mom's not home?" Yukiko wondered as she walked over to the door. "Yes?"

"Thanks for waiting. A delivery of Vongola (clam) Pizza." Bianchi said with a 'charming' smile

"You?" Yukiko exclaimed, before she could do anything Bianchi put on a gas mask and opened the pizza box revealing the poisoned pizza. "Ugh!" Yukiko kicked the box away from her and three more crows died in her place.

At this moment Ryuzaki ran down with Reborn on his shoulder. "Yukiko-sama!" he yelled while running to check on her

Reborn jumped off Ryuzaki's shoulder at this time "Ciaossu, Bianchi."

"Reborn!" Bianchi exclaimed while taking off her gas mask

While watching, and coughing to get in clean air in her lungs, Yukiko thought 'So that's Bianchi, why is she trying to kill me?'

Bianchi started to tear up "I'm here to bring you back. Let's do another big job together, Reborn. A peaceful place doesn't suit you. The place you should be is the dark world where it's more dangerous and thrilling."

"I told you, Bianchi. I have a job to raise Yukiko, so I can't." Reborn replied

"Poor Reborn…" Bianchi was really starting to cry "Unless the 10th dies due to an accident of something Reborn won't be free again." she said while pointing at Yukiko

Yukiko's eyes widened at the last comment and Ryuzaki went into a defensive stance. "Don't you dare, Bianchi." He warned

Bianchi ignored his threat "I'll go home for now. When the 10th in murd…when the 10th is dead, I'll come to bring you back again…" she said while walking out the door.

Yukiko sweat dropped at that. "Alright, what is with her?"

"She's a freelance hitman called the Poison Scorpion. Her special skill is to feed people her poison cooking." Ryuzaki explained in a tired tone

"I see…" Yukiko turned to Reborn "She seems to favor you a lot. Is she one of your many lovers?"

"Yes, my fourth one to be exact." Reborn bluntly answered

The next morning, Yukiko and Ryuzaki were walking when they heard "Morning Yukiko-chan, Ryuzaki-kun." They turned to see Kyoko walking up to them

"Morning Kyoko." They answered, once again at the same time. They looked at each other, finally realizing it.

Kyoko giggled "It's true. You two are completely in sync! Anyway, today's home economics class is to make rice balls. Are you going to join this time Yukiko-chan?"

"Hm… I don't see why not." Yukiko answered when she heard a familiar bike bell 'Shit…'

Bianchi looked similar to an emo while she was biking to them "Those who bother someone's love life should die covered up in poison. Here you go." This time, she threw three cans

Yukiko and Ryuzaki immediately sent them flying somewhere. Kyoko was a little confused with the action "Was that someone you knew?"

"Not at all." Yukiko and Ryuzaki quickly answered 'Is Bianchi planning on involving Kyoko?' Yukiko thought

At school, the girls came into the room with plates of rice balls "We'll give the rice balls we made in Home Ec. today to the boys!" The boys had cheered for the free food

"What a strange event…" Gokudera commented

"I'll say." Ryuzaki agreed

"Did you decide who you're going to accept them from?" Yamamoto asked them

"Of course." Ryuzaki and Gokudera answered "Yukiko-sama" "the Tenth!" the answered simultaneously before glaring at each other.

"Hahaha! How funny, but I want to have Yukiko's rice balls too." Yamamoto replied with his game face

"Well, we have a problem now…" Ryuzaki commented

While the three were arguing, Kyoko and Hana walked up to Yukiko with smiles on their faces. "So Yukiko… who are you going to give yours to?" they asked in a sly tone

"Ryuzaki, Yamamoto, Gokudera, and Reborn." Yukiko answered immediately "I made enough for all four." She showed her rice balls as proof; like her mother, Yukiko was quite skilled with the kitchen.

"In that case, will you accept mine?" Kyoko asked, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings by giving them to one boy.

"Sure. Just let me give it to them," Yukiko then looked over to her friends and sweat dropped at their arguing "and stop their stupid argument while I'm at it." At that, Yukiko walked over to them, "What the hell are you three arguing about?"

"Who gets your rice balls." They answered

"Idiots. I made enough for all of you, even Reborn, here." She said while tossing her rice balls to the three.

"Wow thanks!" Yamamoto thanked happily, when he ate it his eyes widened slightly "Uah! It's really good!"

"Truly Tenth! I am honored to have been able to taste such wonderful food made by the Tenth! If only these idiots didn't get any too…" Gokudera said while in tears

"Hm… not your best work, but it's still delicious either way." Ryuzaki said with a smile

"Thanks, I need to get my rice balls from Kyoko now. Be right back." While walking back, Yukiko noticed Bianchi behind Kyoko, how no one else noticed was beyond her. Bianchi had switched Kyoko's rice balls with obviously poisoned ones. 'Guess I'll have to eat some poison… Let's hope those pressure points will work…' Yukiko thought as she approached certain death

"Here you go, Yukiko! I hope you like salmon!" Kyoko exclaimed with a happy smile while offering Yukiko her rice balls

"Thanks." Yukiko quickly punched some pressure points on her stomach without anyone noticing before bringing the rice ball to her mouth. A few seconds passes before she smiled to Kyoko "It's delicious."

Bianchi, who somehow ended up outside the classroom, watched in shock "My Poison cooking didn't work?" Yukiko finished Kyoko's rice balls with little problems, in defeat Bianchi started to walk away from the classroom while biting her finger nail "Damn you Vongola 10th. But one day, I will get Reborn."

Back at the Sawada household, Yukiko approached Reborn with her rice balls "Here, we made them in Home Ec. and I figured you would like some."

Reborn accepted them and started to eat, when he finished he congratulated Yukiko "Good job on not hurting Kyoko's feelings and taking the poison cooking head on like that."

"How where you able to do that anyway?" Ryuzaki asked

"I read in this book about pressure points that could temporarily give a person an 'iron stomach'. I never tried it before, so it was still as risk, but I couldn't risk hurting Kyoko's feelings for Bianchi's petty tricks."

'She was able to perform a serious pressure point configuration by just reading about it, impressive…' Reborn thought with a smirk and slight pride

Later on, Yukiko and Ryuzaki discovered that Bianchi and Gokudera were, in fact, half siblings and also learned of Gokudera's inability to face his sister without getting a huge stomach ache.

The three had tried constantly to get rid of Bianchi, such as having the 'adult' Lambo, who surprisingly looks exactly like Bianchi's last boyfriend, appear; but the one that had made her leave was Reborn who stated he wanted to eat a good eel, Bianchi immediately left for the Hamana Lake.
