La Ragazza

by Dark (because fun is like this)

Summary: Sawada "Tsuna" Tsunayuki a.k.a. No-Good-Tsuna, never thought that she'd ever be important enough to get a home tutor, let alone one who wanted to turn her into the tenth generation mafia boss of the Vongola family, and the first female one at that. But now in the midst of trying to raise her grades and make new friends, she's finding that there's a lot more to this "Mafia" business than she first thought.

Pairings: GokuderaTsuna, YamamotoTsuna, HibariTsuna, DinoTsuna, MukuroTsuna, LanciaTsuna, RyoheiTsuna, BasilTsuna, SqualoTsuna, BelphegorTsuna, XanxusTsuna, ChikusaTsuna, KenTsuna, maybe OlderRebornTsuna, one-sided HaruTsuna, Chrome+Tsuna, and Kyoko+Tsuna. Maybe-ish some Adult!LamboOC.

Disclaimer: If I owned this, Tsuna would already have a harem of all the hot hot boys surrounding him. Does he? No (But he should! –Ivan), so I obviously don't own it.

Dedication for this chapter is too the person who got me into Reborn. I saw a picture of Tsuna, and the word mafia and I thought, 'Whoa! Cool!'.

Songs listened to while writing this chapter: Prelude 12/21, by I have no idea.

Quote of the Chapter:
"And I should do this, why?"
"Um, Reborn-kun said that if you did it he would fight with you whenever you wanted within twelve times a year and that all damage caused to Nanimori would be avoided if it could be and paid for in full if it couldn't be. And that if you don't he will never fight with you, all fights would be held within the school whenever possible and won't be paid for."
"…Fine."
-Sawada Tsunayuki and Hibari Kyouya, Chapter Somethingorother
Moral: Never mess with Reborn.

The Road to School

'That baby walks on top of my house's fence every weekday,' Miura Haru thought to herself, brushing her teeth one morning as she got ready to go to school. 'His name is Reborn-chan. Such a cute name…' she thought, her face slack and tooth paste dripping out of her mouth. 'I want to hug his so badly…' She watched from the window as the cute little boy walked past her house as she stood in the bathroom, in a daze.

Haru hurried to finish getting ready as the object of her affections got closer and closer. She managed to make it out the door before he had passed her. Hiding out around the corner of the fence and out of sight, Haru waited for him. 'If I am to confess my love, I have to be in the same ring,' she thought, hoisting herself up and onto of the fence with minimal difficulty, 'Or I'll be rude.'

Haru stepped forward cautiously, unused to walking on such a narrow surface, slowly approaching the little boy, and the girl who was always with him. "Hello!" she told Reborn when she met up with him, ignoring the other girl completely.

"Ciaossu!" he greeted back.

"My name… is Miura Haru," Haru told him, glancing to the side and hoping he wouldn't see the faint blush that had spread across her cheeks.

"I know about you," Reborn told her, "You're from this house, right?" he asked pointing to the side and at her house.

'He knows about me!' Haru thought excitedly. Then she remembered what she had wanted to say. "Would you be friend?" she asked him hopefully.

"Sure," Reborn answered.

Haru shrieked in pleasure, losing her balance in the process and tipping over to the side, causing the girl who was with Reborn to exclaim. Fortunately Haru managed to shift and land on her feet without hurting herself.

Tsuna watched the strange girl cautiously, wondering where she had come from. Feeling slightly worried, she decided to stay and watch it play out, instead of heading on to school. Looking over the girl she noticed that they seemed to be about the same age, as the other girl wore the uniform to a middle school as well. She had dark brown hair, styled in such a way that it was pulled back into a bun with small clumps of hair that hung on either side of her face held back by two small white bobby pins each. The girl also had lively light brown eyes, and, something that annoyed Tsuna to no end, she was taller than Tsuna.

"Erm… uhm…" the girl stuttered out, suddenly shy, "It's rather sudden… but… can you hug me… like this?" she asked, demonstrating by wrapping her arms tightly around herself.

'What is with this girl…?' Tsuna wondered, slightly disturbed by how her mind seemed to work.

"Don't touch me so easily," Reborn told Miura bluntly, his face unchanging. He elaborated when Miura looked at him confusedly. "'Cause I'm a hitman," he said, pulling a gun out from nowhere and holding it in front of himself to show her.

Tsuna started in shock, surprised that he would just come out and say it. She turned to him and started to scold him for it. "Eh! Reborn-kun! Don't say such things to stran-"

Slap!

The sound of Miura's slap echoed faintly as Tsuna stood stock still in complete shock, her face forced to the side from the force of the blow and her cheek starting to turn red. "Eh…?" she let out, immensely confused as she turned back to face the girl, her hands going up to cradle her abused cheek. Admittedly, she'd had worse, but it hurt more than it had any right too!

"You bastard!" Miura yelled at Tsuna, a vein on her forehead popping out in anger, "What're you teaching him!?" she shouted at the other girl.

"What?!" Tsuna exclaimed, feeling completely lost and without any idea of what was going on.

"Babies are angles with pure white hearts!" Miura shouted, advancing slowly on Tsuna, "Are you destroying that lovely pureness with your rotten heart!?" she screeched, grabbing the other girl by her shirt and pulling Tsuna towards her.

'What is she saying!?' Tsuna wondered desperately, pulling at the other girls' hands as she started to choke, "It's not that!" Tsuna told Miura, gasping for breath, "We have a misunderstanding here!"

"What misunderstandings?!" Miura shouted.

"I didn't teach him any assassination techniques!" Tsuna shouted right back, tugging her shirt out of the other girls' hands so that she was only left clutching her ribbon.

"You're a liar!" Miura insisted, letting go of Tsuna completely, "You're Reborn-chan's big sister, right?! I see you together all the time!" she shouted, though Tsuna didn't know what that would have to do with anything, if it was true.

"We're not siblings!" Tsuna told her, even if all the shouting was starting to make her throat hurt.

"Then you're an even bigger bastard!" Miura screamed, "Making someone else's baby a devil!"

"Argh!" Tsuna exclaimed inarticuatly, 'She's not listening to me!' she screamed in her mind, immensely frustrated. Who did this girl think she was, to just come up and slap her and yell at her?!

"Listen! You shall not see Reborn-chan anymore!" Miura ordered, looming up right in front of Tsuna, directly in her face, "You're a bad influence on him!"

Tsuna jerked back. 'She's getting too close!' Tsuna thought, backing away to get back her personal space.

"That wouldn't work," Reborn said bluntly, interrupting the two girl's fight for the first time since it had started.

"Huh?" Miura asked, suddenly calm, acting like the incident hadn't even happened.

"Yes, tell her," Tsuna said miserably, annoyed that Reborn had taken so long to set things straight, "Why did I have to get slapped anyway…" she mumbled to herself, clutching at her sore cheek and resolving to ignore crazy girls from now on. Thought she was surprised it hurt so much, she'd been hurt much worse by school bullies before. Maybe it was just because she'd never been slapped before, or maybe Miura was exceptionally strong…

"It's my job to raise Tsuna, the Tenth boss of the mafia," Reborn told Miura, "I cannot be separated from her until then," he said.

Crunch!

Once again, the sound of Miura's fist slamming into Tsuna's face echoed around the street, eerily loud.

"What's up with the mafia!?" Miura shouted, "You're going too far, even for a delinquents idea of fun!" she screamed, her fist still extended from the fierce hit she had given Tsuna, "You even restricted Reborn-chan's freedom!"

Tsuna brought up her had to her face and carefully inspected the damage. It didn't hurt as much as the slap had, proving that she wasn't getting soft skin without all the beatings she used to have, but she could tell that there was going to be at least some faint bruising and swelling the next day.

Haru watched with dark eyes as the other girl felt her face, her eyes wide. 'I'll leave the hugging for later,' she thought, 'Right now, I have to protect Reborn-chan!' She sneered when the other girl started to talk.

"Hey! Listen!" the shorter blond said, only to stop when Haru glared at her, her fighting spirit almost visible.

Haru scoffed at the girl, then turned and started to walk away. "Bye!" she called to Reborn, ignoring the girl as she left for school.

Tsuna stared with wide eyes as the girl just left, walking away without as much as another word. 'She resents me…' she thought, shocked. It wasn't the first time she'd had someone hate her, but it was the first time that she'd had someone hate her so soon after meeting her. The whole experience had been rather shocking.

"You guys get along really well," Reborn commented lightly, "Almost like a married couple," he added, like he hadn't been the whole cause of the incident.

"Only one that's about to get a divorce!" Tsuna retorted.

(SCENE CHANGE)

Outside the Sawada House

"Poor Reborn-chan…" Haru muttered to herself as she snuck around the gate of the Sawada property, a bandana even tied around her head as if to help hide her identity, "I bet he can't even say anything in front of that girl…" she said, thinking aloud, something that was not to be advised when you were sneaking around. "Wait for me, Reborn-chan, Haru will set you free," she promised the sky.

"We think alike," a voice commented from behind Haru, making her jump. Suddenly she felt something grab onto the back of her shirt and start dragging her away from the house.

"Wha!?" she exclaimed, looking behind her and to see that the person dragging her was a beautiful pink haired lady holding a bottle of sake. "Wha?!"

(SCENE CHANGE)

A Bar/Restaurant Stand

"Waaai!" Haru exclaimed as she listened to the woman, who she had discovered was named Bianchi, talk about Reborn, "You're my comrade then, for wanting to rescue Reborn-chan, Onee-san," she said, taking a bite out of the food she had ordered from the stand. "Reborn-chan is such a cutie, isn't he?" she asked, smiling happily, pleased that she had found someone who understood her.

"Yes, he's wonderful," Bianchi agreed, a blush spreading over her cheeks as she said it.

"But that Tsuna girl had to go and involve Reborn-chan in that hitman game," Haru said angrily, remembering why she had been at the Sawada house in the first place.

"Reborn is the best hitman out there," Bianchi agreed, misunderstanding Haru.

"What're you talking about, Onee-sa-" Haru started, feeling a bit confused, only to be interrupted by Bianchi.

"Ah… I can never forget the thrilling assassination days…" Bianchi said reminisantly, almost to herself.

"Oh please," Haru said smiling at what she thought was a joke. She turned to look at Bianchi. "Wha?!" she exclaimed. 'Tears!!' she thought, noticing the small water droplets that were pooling at the corners of Bianchi's eyes. 'Y-you mean… what you've just said… is all true, Onee-san?!' Haru felt her mind go blank in shock.

(SCENE CHANGE)

The Road to School

'Ah… it's so hot…' Tsuna thought as she walked to school, making sure to keep a look out for the strange Miura girl who had slapped and hit her yesterday. The swelling and bruising on her face hadn't been as bad as she'd been expecting, but her face still hurt from where she'd been hit, and her skin was still slightly off color.

Tsuna hoped that neither Hayato nor Takeshi noticed it, as she didn't want to worry them. Yesterday hadn't been much of a problem, as after she washed her face the fact that she'd gotten hit was almost invisible, and it hadn't started swelling yet. But if Hayato found out that someone had hit her, he'd go into a rampage to find that person, and Takeshi would most likely join him enthusiastically. And no matter what Miura had done, she didn't deserve to get blown up.

Glancing quickly behind her, Tsuna sighed in relief when she didn't see anyone behind her. So far so good… now she just had to get all the way to school without running into the girl and then she'd just have Takeshi and Hayato to deal with.

"Ahh…" Tsuna let out as she walked, waving a hand in front of her face to in an attempt to cool down. 'It's so hot, my ears are ringing…' she thought when a faint ringing noise came to her ears. But then it got louder. 'It's not my ears…!' she realized, a faint feeling of dread coming over her as she swirled around.

"Gooood morning," Miura said, coming to a stop in front of Tsuna.

Tsuna stared wide eyed at the strange girl, who had apparently decided that it would be a good idea to go out today wearing samurai style armor and holding a hockey stick and helmet. What was the girl thinking?! To go around like that in this heat?! "What are you---?!!" Tsuna shouted Miura, before her shock took over and she lost her ability to speak.

"I'm Haru, who couldn't sleep last night because of all the thoughts I had," Miura told Tsuna, causing the other girl to notice the purple bags that hung under her eyes.

"You wear such things when you don't get enough sleep?!!" Tsuna exclaimed, not understanding the strange girl at all.

"It's not that!" Miura snapped, "That would make me a complete idiot!" Then she took a deep breath, calming herself down. "If Reborn-chan is a real hitman, I think you, who will be a real mafia boss, are very strong, Tsuna-san," Miura told the other girl, glaring at her through narrowed eyes.

"What?" Tsuna asked confused at the sudden change in the girl. Hadn't she been so adamant that Tsuna was lying the other day? What had caused this sudden change?

"If you're strong, I'll believe Reborn-chan," Miura continued, oblivious to Tsuna's thoughts as she put the helmet she'd been carrying over her head, "And I won't complain about anything in his life," she said, "So please have a match with me!" And with that she brought her hockey stick up and over her head, getting ready to strike.

"Ah!" Tsuna exclaimed, jumping back just in time to dodge the blow that followed the other girls' declaration, "Wait!" she cried, trying to get Miura to stop.

Miura didn't listen, she just kept swinging at Tsuna, crying out battle cries and getting increasingly frustrated as all Tsuna did was dodge her blows.

(SCENE CHANGE)

Very Near the Bridge Where Haru is Fighting Tsuna

Hayato looked up when he started to hear what sounded like a fight as he was walking to school. Looking around, he finally spotted the source of the noises coming from a bridge he had just passed. Looking closer at the two figures, he finally recognized the one that kept dodging.

"Tenth!?" Hayato exclaimed, shocked that someone was attacking his boss. He looked closer at the other fighter and found himself unable to make out their identity, as they were wearing a helmet with a darkened visor. 'What's that?!' he thought, already moving towards the Tenth, 'A disposable hitman?!' he wondered. "Shiiiit!!" he exclaimed, rushing towards his boss.

(SCENE CHANGE)

The Bridge that is All Too Quickly Becoming Familiar

"I'll never be a mafia boss!!" Tsuna told Miura, desperately dodging yet another swing of the hockey stick.

"Then you're toying with Reborn-chan after all!" Miura shouted, swing fiercely at the other girl.

"It's not like that!" Tsuna shouted right back, leaping back to avoid another hit.

Just then, someone jumped in front of her, and Tsuna found herself staring at an increasingly familiar back.

"Tenth, please stay behind me!" Hayato told Tsuna, several sticks of dynamite already in his hands and dangerously close to the cigarette held in his mouth.

"Hayato-kun!" Tsuna exclaimed, eyes widening as she realized what he was about to do, leaping forward, too late-

"Die!" Hayato told Miura coldly, throwing his burning sticks of death right in the girls face.

"Huh?" Haru exclaimed, looking up as the objects flew towards her, "That's that kaboom thing, huh?" she said to herself. Then she realized what she'd just said.

"Hahieeeek!!!" Haru screamed as the explosives went off, the concussive force sending her flying off the bridge and into the waters below. She hit the river with a large splash.

"No!" Tsuna exclaimed, rushing to the edge of the bridge and franticly looking into the water for any sign of the girl.

"You're safe now!" Hayato told Tsuna confidently, sounding pleased with himself.

Tsuna ignored him, still searching for Miura.

Finally Tsuna spotted her when she rose to the surface, spitting out a mouthful of water and crying out, "Why'd you do such a thing!" She struggled for a moment, sinking again. "The armors too heavy!" she exclaimed, "I can't swim! Sav-save me!" she shouted, splashing franticly in the water, trying to stay afloat.

"Th-this isn't good!" Tsuna shouted, almost hysterical. Hayato just looked at her, feeling confused.

"We have to save her," a calm voice said from behind them, and Tsuna turned franticly.

"Reborn-kun!" she shouted, surprised to find the small hitman standing on the rail of the bridge.

"No!" Haru shouted, "This river isn't something that… you can swim, Reborn-chan!" she exclaimed, falling under the water for a moment then coming back up. Looking up once again, she saw something that shocked her. Reborn was pointing a gun at a frantic looking Tsuna, seemingly ready to shoot the girl. 'Reborn-chan?' she wondered, 'What're you doing?'

And then Tsuna was falling off the bridge, a bullet going straight through her forehead. Haru screamed, watching as the body seemed to expand, then burst open, letting out a scantily clad Tsuna.

"I'll save Haru as if I were to die!!!" 'Dying Will' Tsuna shouted, fire burning on her forehead and in her eyes as she flipped over, uncaring that the action caused her to flash all the people on the bridge who happened to be watching (Hayato), as she fell towards Haru.

"Hahie?!" Haru managed to exclaim, shocked at what she had just witnessed.

"Here's some more," Reborn said to himself, shooting off two more bullets at Tsuna's heels, "If I hit the heel, it'll be the Leg Screw Bullet," he added.

As soon as the bullets hit her, 'Dying Will' Tsuna's feet began to spin wildly. Then she hit the water, and with one mighty stroke, she was right next to Haru, grabbing onto the girl and hoisting her up. "Hold on to me!!!" 'Dying Will' Tsuna shouted, kicking off towards the shore, a shocked and blushing Haru in tow.

(SCENE CHANGE)

The Shore (Or is it Bank?)

"Thank you very much," Haru said when she had gotten out of the armor and was huddled up under a towel, her face to her knees.

Hayato let out an annoyed breath. "Did you even think about your actions?" he asked her, immensely annoyed that the girl had put the Tenth in danger, "If something you do harms the Tenth, I'll erase you," he told her seriously.

Haru let out a small laugh, causing the others to stare at her. "'I'll save Haru as if I were to die!!!'" she suddenly exclaimed, quoting Tsuna as she jumped to her feet, swinging her arms around wildly, "'Hold on to me!!!'" she quoted again, giggling. "I thought such cheesy lines could only be seen on TV," Haru added.

Tsuna stared at her in dismay. First the girl misunderstands and hits her, and now she mocks her after she saves her! Tsuna sighed and grabbed Hayato's arm to hold him back from attacking the girl. Well, if that's how she was…

"Swim to the other bank!" Haru added, making up a line of her own and causing Tsuna to turn red. She wasn't really like that, was she?

Suddenly Haru stopped laughing. "It was… very wonderful that you jumped in, in place of Reborn-chan, Tenth," she told the other girl, the heart at the end of her sentence almost as visible as the intense blush that had spread across her cheeks.

"What?!"Tsuna exclaimed, shocked at the sudden change in attitude from this girl who seemed to hate her.

"My heart is… pounding…!" Haru added, her blush getting even bigger.

"What?!" Tsuna was starting to feel a bit like a broken record.

"I can say with certainty that Haru has fallen in love with Tsuna-chan!" Haru exclaimed.

"What?!!"

'What… what is with this girl…?' Hayato wondered, staring in open mouthed shock at the girl that seemed to change moods like the weather.

"But if I remember correctly, you like Reborn-kun, right?" Tsuna asked in a last ditch attempt to dissuade Haru from the thoughts that seemed to be going through her head.

"But I feel like being hugged by you, Tsuna-chan," Haru insisted, hugging her arms around herself and shivering.

"Eeeeeeeekkk!!" Tsuna shrieked as Haru jumped towards her. She scrambled up, starting to run and barely staying out of the other girls reach.

"Pleeeaassee!!!" Haru pleaded as she chased after Tsuna, who continued to scream and run away.

Hayato just stared after the two girls as they ran around, both acting half their age. Truthfully, this was his first time seeing his boss act so childishly, and he relished the experience, as she always seemed to be so nervous or serious. As he watched Haru jump towards the Tenth and fall short, collapsing on the ground, a small chuckle built up in his chest. He finally burst into full out laughter when Haru caught up with Tsuna, grabbing her in a hug.

Tsuna looked up in shock at the unfamiliar sound, finally spotting Hayato doubled over in laughter. A smile spread across her face at the sight, Hayato didn't laugh enough in her opinion, and she let out a giggle at the sight, soon joining her friend in laughter. Haru soon joined in, finding Tsuna's laughter contagious.

Off to the side Reborn watched them, a slight smile on his face. 'Finally,' he thought, 'They're becoming a family.'

(THE END)
for now

A/N: Amazing what happens when you reread something. I was just looking over Reborn again, and I found out that I accidently skipped a chapter. You know, the one where Tsuna's shot with the Dying Will Bullet? I can't believe I missed it. Well, now I've got plans for it. BIG plans (evil grin).

Okay, I've got a question for you guys: do you want me to include the birthday chapter or not? I don't really care either way, it's just I can expand the characters more if we have it, and if we don't we can get to the more exciting parts faster.

And, as you can see, I suck at action scenes, so I'm very sorry about that. I'll try to do better. Anyone got any advice on how to? Also, I had Gokudera laugh at the end because I agree with Tsuna-chan, he doesn't laugh nearly enough.

Anyway, has anyone seen my beloved ChibiVi3tKitsun3? I can't seem to find her any where!

About the Future Arc:

What Future Arc? Byakuran meets Tsuna, and, predictably, joins her harem. When he starts to get ideas of killing people, she tells him she's pregnant, and that's that.

Just Kidding! XD

I, for some reason that alludes me, don't really like the Future Arc, so I'm only reading it in bits and parts that are all out of order anyway, so it'd be nice if people could tell me general outlines of what happens or tell me if I get some info drastically wrong, that they tell us about in the Future Arc. Otherwise, please be patient. I'll read it eventually. Maybe.
