I'm really sorry that I haven't updated sooner and that this chapter isn't longer, but I had a lot of exams 'on my neck' - as we say here.
One more thing, I was thinking about writting crossover with ami2kamami on Naruto and Harry Potter... I'll be publishing it on the site soon... hopefully
Now, thank you for your reviews! :D and pls write more of them :)
Enjoy the chapter!
With Natsuki
Soft groan could be heard in the room where lay the once passed-out girl. She opened her now normally amber eyes, and then slowly sat up. The turquoise haired girl looked around her, only to find out that in the room was no one else. Natsuki sat there for a while, trying to remember what happened before, when suddenly, she heard voices from the other room. Two of them belonged to her friends, but the others weren't familiar at all.
She quickly stood up, fearing for her friends' safety, and quietly went to the door. She opened them only to see the hitman that wanted to take Tsuna away, said brunet, Naruto, the two other teens with the red haired boy, old man in weird robes and other people with masks in some kind of armour.
Let's not forget to mention that the people with the masks had their katanas pointed towards Reborn's neck.
She instantly fumed. Okay, Natsuki really didn't like the hitman, but to have some weird people in your home pointing their weapons at said person is not something she appreciated.
The amber eyed girl looked at all the people in the room, crossed her hands over her chest and glared at everyone. Somehow, the infamous ANBU felt chills run down their spines and not in a good way.
"What. The. Hell. Is. The. Meaning. Of. This?" she asked the tone of her voice colder than ice and even the Hokage and the world's greatest hitman had to surpass the shivers from running down their spines...
This gained her attention of all people in the room and instantly, Naruto, Tsuna and, to the surprise of everyone, Enma ran behind Natsuki to hide from her glare (and at the same time to be in the 'safe-zone').
In the end the one who answered the girl was no one other than Reborn. "These people just showed up and pointed their katanas at me after I greeted them," he explained, staring at Natsuki right in her eyes.
The turquoisette nodded her head, knowing right away that the hitman was not lying. She then turned to the old man, her eyes shadowing calculating look. "And… who the fuck are you, old man."
The reaction was immediate; the Hokage choked a bit at her language – just what kind of parents teach their child to speak like that?
The ANBU were not pleased that a little girl would show such disrespect to the leader of the village, however they did not move as they were not given any signal whatsoever, even if they were mentally killing her with their weapons.
Byakuran was now grinning like maniac, thinking that being around the girl will certainly be fun.
Verde was scribing notes, while still staring at the girl with smirk on his lips.
Reborn shot her a sharp look, not doing anything else, keeping his thoughts to himself.
Tsuna face-palmed himself, thinking how the hell will they get out of this…
Enma was now trebling a bit, not expecting the turquoisette to be like that.
Naruto was the only one who didn't know how to feel. He liked the Hokage, but he also liked Natsuki. She was like his sister, while Sandaime-jiji was like his grandfather. And so, he stayed silent for the time being.
"This honourable man is the Hokage," said one of the masked people.
"Hn," was the somewhat-reply from her.
Sarutobi sighed, slowly crouched down to the girl's level and reached out his hand to pat her on head, but before he could even touch her, she evaded it by sidestepping.
He sighed once more and then asked, "What's your name?"
She stared at him blankly for a while before finally answering, "Natsuki. Now, tell me yours." She practically commanded him and some people sweat-dropped at this.
The Hokage rubbed his temple a bit, in both tiredness and irritation. This girl can drain energy from him better than Naruto.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen," he said and then added, "Can you tell me what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your parents and brother at home?" at the end of his question, he took glance at Tsuna before looking back at her.
Natsuki stared at him at first, but the normal stare changed into a cold glare and the temperature in the room dropped rapidly. "Parents? You must be fuckin' kiddin' me! As if those people could even be called that! Tch."
There was silence for quite a while and, after that, the turquoisette looked once again the Hokage in his eyes. "Get out. I don't care if I have to leave this place because I was rude towards you, but just get out of this house." she commanded, leaving no room for any argument.
The ANBU were beyond being pissed off by now. The girl just made enemy out of them and they would be extremely happy if she had to leave.
The Hokage was stunned, clearly not expecting this, but he regained his posture and then said, "Okay, for now, I will go, as it is already late, but I want to speak with all you people here and that means even you."
And with that, he was out of the front door, the ANBU following him silently.
The people in the room stared at the already closed door for little while, before being brought from their thoughts by none other than Natsuki.
"So..." everyone looked at her, waiting for her to continue, "... pizza?"
And with that they face-faulted.

The first one to wake up the following day was, surprisingly, Tsuna. He silently made his way out of the small bedroom where, even more surprisingly, everyone fitted in.
The brunet then made his way to the kitchen to make breakfast for them and when he started making omelettes, he faintly heard the sound of door opening. He looked in the direction of said door. There, in his shirtless glory, stood the hitman who stole his heart, his pants unbuttoned, revealing his black and grey boxers. Tsuna blushed furiously at the state Reborn was in, the hitman's response being one of his famous smirks.
"Seeing something you like, dame-Tsuna?"
Tsuna blushed even more and quickly turned to the omelette he was currently making, silently flipping it over.
Reborn slowly made his way to Tsuna, creeping behind the brunet and then sneaking his arms around the now six year old body, making the brunet jump a bit in surprise.
"W-what are you d-doing?" he asked nervously and quietly, so no one would wake up. Even if the kitchen and bedroom had bathroom and hallway between them, the walls were thin and if someone yelled, it could be heard through the entire flat.
"What does it look like?" questioned Reborn in response, tightening his grip on the brunet a bit.
Tsuna was silent for a while then, he turned his head to Reborn and smiled at him, "Like you're doing something unexpected," he answered the hitman's question while placing the first omelette on a plate and making another one.
Their little moment was interrupted by the sound of opening door. Both immediately looked at the doorway, Reborn still hugging Tsuna from behind. Natsuki stood there with Naruto and Enma, all three looking like they saw a ghost.
The first one to react was, surprisingly, Enma.
The redhead blushed and pointed at Reborn, "P-pedo!" he yelled, not really caring if the (now) teenager was the world's greatest hitman or the Kami himself.
His little outburst followed other three blushes and one frown that belonged to 'the pedo', though Reborn said nothing about it. What could he anyway? Even in his real body he still would be called that, because Tsuna was in reality fourteen.
Natsuki was shocked to find out that Reborn and Tsuna were together. She personally did not like Reborn, but if Tsuna is happy with him, she doesn't care. That is if he doesn't hurt Tsuna, if he does...
The very person the turquoisette was thinking about felt shivers run down his spine for some reason.
Naruto and Natsuki shared a look. Then, they turned to stare at Reborn, who felt uncomfortable for some reason.
"What?"
The two continued to stare at him, before nodding at each other and at the same time said, "We would like to talk to you later today – the academy is 'bout to start." With that the two turned to leave and go redress themselves.
"Um..." Reborn looked at Tsuna who was looking at him with... was that pity what he was seeing? "Good luck with them," was all the brunet said before turning to making more omelettes for everyone.
'... that was weird...' thought the world's greatest hitman.

The three kids were already in academy, waiting for their teacher. Naruto was talking with Tsuna while Natsuki was crooning an English song with closed eyes. She ignored everyone around her and so, she didn't notice when Tsuna joined her or that she started singing louder, getting attention of everyone in the class.
"... give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby."
Just like that, the song ended and she finally opened her eyes, only to notice that everyone was staring at her silently. She started blushing furiously, like the brunet next to her, and bowed her head in embarrassment.
Thankfully, before anyone could say anything, the door opened and there stood Iruka-sensei with books in his hand. He looked at his class confusedly and in disbelieve – it was not normal for them to be so quiet. He cleared his throat to get their attention before speaking, "I never knew that the day when I came to class and you were silent would come…" he chuckled a bit at his own joke before continuing, "Today, we will go outside and practise taijutsu."
At this, some students whined – they didn't want to do it – but the others cheered as they didn't have to be in the classroom all day.
Natsuki, along with Tsuna, just sighed in relief that the attention was not on her anymore.
