Chapter 10- Study dates and Manga surprises

"Tadaima!" Tsuna called as he went into his house, taking his shoes off. Lumiere followed suit.

"Okaeri Tsu-kun, " His mother called from the kitchen, walking to the hallway door while wiping her wet hands with her apron. Her welcoming smile widened and her eyes positively lit up when she saw him and his guest. "Ara, are you one of my Tsu-kun's friends?" his mom asked hopefully.

Tsuna saw his new friend (and he still couldn't believe that he now had a friend) nod her head from the corner of his eye, "Hai, Sawada-san. My name is Taiyou Lumiere. I'm the new student from France."

Nana beamed. "There's no need to call me Sawada-san, Lumiere-chan, just call me Mama!" she chirped.

"Very well, Mama," his friend said in an oddly wistful tone.

"Kaa-san," Tsuna interrupted heading towards the stairs, bag in hand, "Can you prepare some snacks?" He needed to hurry and clean up his room before Lumiere came up and saw how messy it was.

"Hai, Tsu-kun!"

"Would you like some help, Mama?" Lumiere offered. Tsuna gave a sigh of relief, now he would have some more time. Closing the door behind him he looked at the clothes and bed and nearly wailed, "This is going to take forever!"

Nana carefully watched the girl her Tsu-kun brought home. She was very pretty: waist length black hair that fell in curly ringlets down her back; light green eyes that had an exotic tilt at the edge- nod to her European heritage- set in a heart shaped face; lightly tanned skin; and perhaps her most adorable feature, the black curly sideburns on either side of her face.

Nana was so giddy. Her Tsu-kun had finally brought a friend home and a girl friend at that! Images of little babies with soft brown hair and cute little sideburns with green and brown eyes flashed through her mind. She squealed, "Oh, that would just be so cute~!"

Lumiere gave her a strange look, but Nana was too deep in her fantasy of grandbabies to notice.

Bewildered, Lumiere went back to what she had been doing before Nana's apparent mental breakdown: rolling the cookie dough into little misshapen balls.

Nana, who was still somewhat in her daydream, took Lumiere's hands in her own, not minding the oily stickiness, starry eyed. "Oh, you must come over more often," she gushed, "and I must tell papa that our darling Tsu-kun has a girlfriend!" She went off to find a phone to call her beloved husband.

Lumiere stood still in the kitchen. 'His father is weird,' she thought deeply, 'his mother has just proven to have a few screw loose..' she looked up at the ceiling, imagining Tsuna. '..so how the hell did he end up so normal?'

Tsuna and Lumiere sat down at the small table in Tsuna's room, doing homework, well, Tsuna's homework. Lumiere's was in a neat pile on the other side of the desk, completed.

"No...no...no.." Lumiere counted off as the storm cloud above Tsuna's head grew with each mistake. "Questions 1-15 need to be redone along with 18-27, 30, and 33," she said in disbelief. She knew math was Tsuna's worst subject, but come on! This was just long division.

Tsuna banged his head on the table until Lumiere stopped him. "Don't do that! You might lose whatever brain cells you have left!" she snapped.

Tsuna flushed and eyes straying from her face. Lumiere sighed at the sight, equating it to that of a kicked puppy, "Okay...tell me what you don't get and I will try to help."

Tsuna nodded hesitantly, hurt from her previous words, but pointed to parts he didn't get. Lumiere listened patiently and then explained as best she could to him how to solve the problem. It took them three hours for Tsuna to finish his math homework to at least a 'C' grade. It took them another four hours to finish his Japanese, English, history, and science assignments to an acceptable degree. By the time they finished it was nearing eleven o'clock and Tsuna was beginning to nod off.

It was good thing that they didn't have school tomorrow. Lumiere took in the other's sleepy visage. She was frustrated, to put it mildly. Tsuna was having trouble in all his classes: in math he didn't know his timetables thus making division that much longer and harder; in science he was still struggling with the concept of the atom; English he couldn't pronounce any other the multi-syllable word correctly and couldn't piece together a basic sentence; in Japanese he was struggling with katakana and the kanji characters the class was beginning to learn; and in history he got all his dates, shoguns and dynasties messed up. It's no wonder he was getting such bad grades.

"Dame-kun...Dame-kun..?" Lumiere shook Tsuna awake.

Honey brown eyes fluttered open, "Hmm~?"

"I'm going home now."

Tsuna nodded sleepily and got up, escorting the other down.

"Dame-kun, I didn't mean what I implied earlier," Lumiere said hesitantly, "I apologize, it was uncalled for."

Tsuna waved her apology off smiling, "It's alright Lumie-chan."

Lumiere gave an awkward nod and stood in the doorway. Nana had gone to sleep already, so it was just the two of them up. "Do you want to meet up tomorrow?"

Tsuna perked up, "S-sure! But..?" here he looked lost, "what are we going to do?"

Lumiere thought for a minute. This was Japan and she couldn't find any in France, so.. "How about a bookstore?"

Tsuna smiled widely and nodded his head rapidly, "Sure!"

"We can get you study materials!" Lumiere chirped. She suppressed the grin that was fighting to form. She could practically see the thought bubble going over his head whining, 'But I want to read manga!'

She shook her head, amused. She never expected Tsuna to be this predictable or funny. "I'll meet you here tomorrow around noon?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay then. Night, Dame-kun."

Tsuna flushed, "Night, Lumie-chan."

Giggling Lumiere waved goodbye and headed out, heading towards the mansion a mile away.

Halfway to her house she passed an alley and tensed lightly at the presence she sensed there. Three life forms, too big to be an animal- so human- hostility detected. In other words: be on guard.

Lumiere walked calmly through the streets, keeping track of the three men following her. It was just before she got home that they moved to strike.

"What's a lil' girl like you doin' out here all alone?" the three men came out, the leader in front being the one who spoke. They all wore middle school uniforms and had a perpetually stupid look on their faces.

Lumiere scoffed, because really? "I don't associate myself with weaklings." Angered, they all stepped forward with hideous looks, intend to hurt obvious. Too bad. They had no idea who they were messing with. Lumiere quickly glanced at the roof of a nearby building.

The one to her right spoke up, "I don' think you git it, lil missy," he said in the worst butchering of the Japanese language Lumiere had ever heard.

Lumiere looked at her watch. 11:10 pm blinked up at her in red letters and she allowed a blood thirsty grin to show on her face, "I have ten minutes to get home before curfew; that's plenty of time to beat you."

The last member scoffed while the other two laughed. "And wat does a lil bitch-" the butt of Lumieres gun cracked into his skull, sending the teen flying into the lamp post. The other two were left gaping at the unexpected scene before them and that was all the time Lumiere needed to deliver punishment. In two minutes, the teens were imbedded into the wall, bruises already starting to form along with lumps, cuts, and no small about of blood. She turned on her heel, leaving three unconscious forms in her wake.

"Fools."

On a nearby rooftop stood second year Nami-chu student and president of the Disciplinary Committee, Hibari Kyoya. Upon hearing the commotion that a group of herbivore students were causing to disturb the peace of Namimori, he had come to investigate. He had come intending to show them the error of their ways, but he never expected this.

"Wao, " He had of course heard that there was a foreign student enrolling into Nami-sho, but hasn't given it much thought. Perhaps he should have if this little herbivore- no, not herbivore- had been hiding.

A blood thirsty grin, equal in intensity to the French student's now that he thought about it, made its way to Hibari's face.

'Let's see if this Herbivore is a herbivore and not something else.'

~~ "Tadaima," Lumiere called from the doorway, holding it open so that Keimon could come in. The cute alligator had met her a few minutes after her run-in the middle school students and escorted her home.

Verde stepped out of the living area and into the hallway, "I assume there is a reason you came home so near your curfew today compared to the past few weeks?" he subtly demanded an explanation.

Lumiere chuckled, "I made a friend today and we went over to his place to study Jii-san"

"Studying does not take seven hours."

"Let's just say that his schoolwork is atrocious and leave it at that."

Verde nodded, "Him? This new friend of yours is a boy?"

Lumiere sweat dropped at the tone. He wasn't going to go all papa-bear is he? She shook her head at that ridiculous notion. Despite her somewhat older mentality, she was still in the body of a child.

"Mmhmm," she hummed, walking into the kitchen after scooping up her pint sized uncle. There was cold take-out on the stove, obviously waiting for her.

"What's his name?"

Lumiere stopped momentarily and glanced down at the lightning Arcobaleno. She probably shouldn't tell him Tsuna's full name since he could link it to Sawada Iemitsu.

"Tsuna, though I call him Dame-kun."

He nodded and gestured to be put down. He went off to his lab and she heated up the food before heading up to her room. She changed into her pajamas and reached under her bed, unstrapping a hard password encoded notebook. She flipped it open the middle page. Nothing was on the page, but when she signed a UV light on it, two columns were revealed, one written all over and the other mostly empty except for a few lines. On that side she wrote 'Befriended S.T.' then closed it. She placed the book back and went back to eating her cooling dinner.

"How very...fascinating," Verde murmured when he separated from his ward/niece and hacked into the schools records to locate one 'Tsuna.' He hadn't been very impressed with what he found.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, eleven years old, with a compiled score of seventeen on all classes. He wasn't someone Verde expected Lumiere to associate with, that was until he saw the boy's picture. Replace brown hair and eyes along with the distinct Japanese features and replace them with blonde, orange, and Italian respectively and you get a carbon copy of Vongola Primo. It was so, very interesting.

Then there was the name on the boy's records of his father. Sawada Iemitsu. Very few people knew the last name of the CEDEF leader, most knowing him by Iemitsu, Young Lion of Vongola or Kingsfoil. Verde was one of the few that had managed to obtain the information that Iemitsu had so painstakingly tried to keep secret.

Smirking, Verde pulled up a certain document that should Lumiere see would cause her to attempt to delete it- much like she had tried last time: 'A Diagnosis of the Similarities and Differences of a Hitman and his Daughter.' On the similarities side he typed the newest phenomenon he discovered.

Both have a predisposed fondness of the Vongola.

"Have you seen Naruto?" Lumiere asked as she browsed through the aisles of manga, a look of intense concentration in her eyes.

Tsuna looked up from his comic with a confused look on his face. "Naruto?"

Lumiere turned and have him a 'duh' look before going back to browsing. They didn't sell anime in abundance in France and the few she did find were not ones she enjoyed reading.

"I've never heard of Naruto before," Tsuna admitted truthfully, eyes straying back to his own open manga.

Lumiere huffed, 'Different world different anime I guess.' She went back to browsing the manga section until something caught her eye. It was a series called 'Sasuke' and on the stem of the book was a picture of someone who could be Uchiha Sasuke, duck-butt hair and all. Curiosity getting the better of her she pulled it out, and, ignoring the similarities read the back.

Five years ago the elite Uchiha clan was assassinated by the head of the family's eldest son, Itachi, now Uchiha Sasuke, the last member of the clan and younger brother to Itachi joins the shinobi workforce of Konoha the village hidden in the leaves. He is assigned an elite jounin instructor along with two others; Sakura the smartest girl in his class and Naruto the dead last. Sasuke must somehow work together with them if he wants to become a ninja and find his brother.

Lumiere gaped at the summary. Seriously? 'Naruto' has been turned into 'Sasuke'? She immediately looked through the bookcase of manga with more fervor than the previous minute, looking for a similar anime that had a different title.

'Sailor Scouts'

Thousands of years ago the Moon Kingdom was attacked by the evil Queen Beryl of the negaverse and destroyed, but not before the last moon queen Serenity sent her daughter and court to the future. Now moon cat Luna, former advisor of the queen searches for the planetary scouts of the solar system to find the hidden moon princess and defeat the wicked queen for good.

Lumiere quickly found other versions of the anime she grew up with in her first life. All of them had different names and focused on a different character. It was quite shocking.

'Well..' she thought sardonically, '..here's more proof that I'm not in the real world.'

AN: Well here is the next chapter :3 I meant to upload it an hour ago, but I was just so tired when I got home I collapsed on the couch :( Barely had enough energy to get up and post this.

I'm so happy that many of you liked my story! :3 I get so giddy every time I check and see new comments! So thanks everyone! You make me want to write more and more! :3

I forgot to post this last chapter, but the whole Roses connection to the Mafia game is still going. Get it right and you get a sneak preview to the next chapter! ;3 I will say this though, she's not connected to Vongola, which means all generations (besides Reborn, but it's my understanding that he's not really part of Vongola and just is allied with them).

BTW I'm being shameless and for those of you who didn't see/ect. I posted a Naruto SI called Child of the Tides and would really appreciate it if you went and checked it out and told me what you think :3

I feel like I'm forgetting something...but I'm too tired to remember...

Thanks for commenting everybody! Leave a comment before you leave 'k! I really want to know what you guys think!
