A/N: Excuse me for not updating as frequently. I've been hella busy! So please be patient with me guys! I hope you guys will be enjoying the story as it progresses. Also, don't forget Kazuko and Yuzuhira's story isn't currently in the present. Kazuko is remembering how they got to where they are, which was dinner with a disguised Reborn and I'll let you know when the story becomes current again.

Thanks and Sorry for any confusion!


The night had gone just as planned. When they finally arrived at Giuseppe's the other occupants' eyes were on them instantly. It was a beautifully designed five-star restaurant filled with A-list celebrities, doctors, politicians, etc. Yet a bunch of teenagers, kids, and a few off-putting adults were piling in. Yuzuhira was quite surprised herself that Kazuko had made so many friends so quickly. Especially, considering her sister could be quite the introvert. Yuzuhira had gotten a very large table at the back of the restaurant, away from everyone else as not to disturb them.

Everyone seemed extremely pleased with their surroundings as the waitress showed them to their large table. They glanced around eagerly while talking amongst themselves. Yuzuhira was sitting next to Kazuko at the end of the table. But as happy as everyone was Yuzuhira was perplexed about the man sitting across the table in front of her, Dino. Yuzuhira felt like she had seen a ghost when she first saw him. And she no idea why. She was sure she had never met this man before. He seemed just a tad bit older than her but she got a very familiar feeling from him. He was a tall, young man with blonde hair that reached just the top of his shoulders and warm brown eyes.

He was very, very handsome. So much so that she was actually put off guard by it. However, when she got a complete look at him her breath would leave her and her heart felt as if it had skipped quite a few beats. Just who was he?

Dino had been talking to Tsuna, the boy she introduced herself to after Kazuko ditched her for a few moments. She walked up to the boy but he was running around with a child in his hands, before tossing it away. Yuzuhira went to scold the boy and check on the child but Tsuna quickly ran to her and tackled her to the ground. Well, it wasn't really a tackle. He was running to her and had tripped, knocking her down to the cold ground.

Then suddenly there was an explosion, exactly where he had thrown the baby. Once Tsuna had decided it was safe he stood up and held his hand out for Yuzuhira. He apologized profusely and came up with an excuse for what he was doing. Something about how that wasn't a baby he threw it was a toy that had bad batteries and exploded.

Yuzuhira obviously didn't believe him. The "toy" looked just like the little girl that was dusting herself off from where he had thrown it. It might have sounded odd but she was sure the child had something to do with the explosion.

However, she didn't want to come off crazy to these people, she had an impression to make after all. Quickly, Yuzuhira introduced herself to everyone. And boy, was it a lot of people. As the evening progressed Yuzuhira noticed they all seemed as if they were friends with Tsuna and that's how their relationships spawned with one another. Yuzuhira was guessing that's what happened with Kazuko as well.

It wasn't long before the waiter came and took everyone's order. While everyone was conversating, and some of the boys were arguing for some reason, Kazuko was sitting quietly observing everyone. Her sister could be so dull sometimes. Kazuko was gorgeous. Yuzuhira remembered seeing her for the first time after her mother gave birth to her and even well before she began to bud into a beautiful young lady. But sheesh, she needed to learn to open up more and hold actual conversations with people.

That was why Yuzuhira secretly came along. She knew for a fact her sister was going to completely bomb the opportunity to make new friends. So she was here to help. Kazuko made it obvious that she knew nothing of her friends so Yuzuhira was determined to have her sister at least be somewhat knowledgeable about her friends and vice versa.

Yuzuhira began a game around the table. The rules of the game were simple. Everyone had to tell at least three important facts about themselves and anybody could ask any questions they wanted about the three facts only. Yuzuhira ignored the dagger-like gaze sent in her direction. Kazuko was glaring at her. She knew this was going to be a bit of a challenge, but she was ready. Kazuko didn't like being put on the spot but it was the only way to break her out of her shell.

Yuzuhira went first. She told everyone she was born in Japan but Italian, she was also a great cook, and she wanted to be a chef. Everyone marveled as their questions bubbled up. Yuzuhira then turned to Kazuko and declared it was her turn. Kazuko blushed for a moment before she cleared her throat before she spoke. Kazuko told everyone she was born in Italy but she still spoke fluent Japanese, she was a great dancer, but she wanted to be a singer.

However, they never got a chance to finish the game because Tsuna became rather intrigued.

"Y-you both were born in Italy?" Tsuna asked, his eyes wide.

"Yes-I mean no," Kazuko murmured, " I was born in Italy. Our father is Italian and our mother is Japanese. Yuzuhira is four years older than me and she was born in Japan. They were visiting Italy when momma had me."

"Where in Italy?" This time the blonde boy, Dino, seemed intrigued as he spoke with raised eyebrows.

"Rome," Yuzuhira answered as she turned her gaze to meet his. Suddenly something in his eyes grew as he stared at her. It was like his gaze was full of realization. But of what? His gaze was very intense as he stared at her and Yuzuhira blinked before she turned to Tsuna and Kazuko who had been talking about something else.

"Siamo anche dall'Italia," The entire table turned to Reborn when he spoke. Yuzuhira couldn't say she wasn't shocked.

"Y-you're Italian?" Yuzuhira asked, the baby. The baby nodded with a smirk on his face.

"Actually," he began, "Almost all of us are, except Yamamoto, Haru, Ryohei, Kyoko, I-Pin, and Tsuna." Yuzuhira was introduced to them all earlier and she didn't get the slightest inkling that half of them were Italian. Yuzuhira could tell Kazuko hadn't either, her surprised expression proved it.

Yuzuhira was sure she and Kazuko had the same expressions on their faces. The baby then grinned before he spoke, loudly.

"We are members of the mafia."

"M-mafia?" Suddenly Tsuna grabbed Reborn and covered his mouth. Tsuna smiled and laughed nervously.

"He-he's just pretendi-" Reborn opened his mouth and bit Tsuna's finger, causing him squeal in pain and drop him onto the table. Yuzuhira eyed the baby curiously. The mafia. Something about that word in particular resonated deep within her. That word made her want to remember something. She felt like she was forgetting something. Something important.

Yuzuhira noticed everyone laughing heartedly at the two. Her eyes glanced around the table and halted at warm brown eyes that were staring attentively at her, Dino, again. Yuzuhira smiled gently before clearing her throat.

"What do you mean?" This time it was Kazuko who spoke. Her olive colored eyes were transfixed on the baby. "The mafia?"

"Oh," Haru said, "He says that all the time. He even said that when we first met."

"Yeah," Yamamoto laughed, "It's a game we play! It's fun!"

Kazuko slowly nodded at them but turned back to meet Reborn's gaze. Their gaze was intense as they stared at each other, Yuzuhira could practically feel the electricity flying across the table. The atmosphere was a bit thick.

"W-well, anyway," Yuzuhira said a bit loudly, "We used to live in a small town in Rome. But it's funny me and Kazuko are kind of two different nationalities." Yuzuhira laughed a bit and that seemed to draw the focus back to the subject prior.

"Different nationalities?," Tsuna asked perplexed. Yuzuhira nodded before she began to explain, "Since I was born in Japan I'm used to eating Japanese food and observing Japanese culture. Kazuko, on the other hand, was born in Italy so she eats Italian food and observes Italian culture."

Yuzuhira smiled brightly, "It's almost like we aren't even sisters."

Everyone smiled and laughed just as Kyoko spoke.

"That sounds so cool," Kyoko sighed, "I wish I had a sister I could share things with."

"What's that suppose to mean?!" Ryohei shouted as he frowned deeply at her causing Yamamoto to laugh loudly and Gokudera to flinch away from him in irritation. Kyoko smiled meekly at her brother.

"You and Haru are basically twins," Kazuko murmured. The girls laughed and Yuzuhira smiled. That's what she wanted. That fun, warm-hearted atmosphere.

Soon the food appeared and everyone began to eat, still conversating until everyone began to leave in groups. Yamamoto, Haru, Bianchi, and I-Pin first then it was Ryohei, Gokudera, and Lambo. When it was Kyoko, Tsuna, and Reborn's turn to leave Reborn told them to go ahead and that he would meet up with them later. Yuzuhira could see how happy Tsuna was when it would be just the two of them walking home together. He clearly liked that girl. He practically had hearts in his eyes. When Yuzuhira paid the bill and told Kazuko she was ready to go the only two people left were Reborn and Dino, and a few men in black suits that had been standing against the wall behind them silently.

"We hope you guys enjoyed yourselves," Yuzuhira smiled as both of the girls stood followed by Dino and Reborn. The boys were done with their dinner but they still stayed at the table. "We'd better be going now."

"Yeah, see you guys," Kazuko said as she followed her sister, leaving the restaurant. The table was quiet for a few minutes before Dino broke the silence with a chuckle.

"So, they're candidates for the Vongola Famiglia huh?"

"One of them is a candidate," Reborn stated as he slipped down from his chair and began to make his way toward the front of the restaurant. "I'm pretty sure the other one is a candidate for another Famiglia."

Dino let a hearty chuckle escape his lips as he watched the baby leave. He stood and left as well. He knew Reborn knew of his secrets and she was definitely one of them. Of course, he couldn't do anything about it except wait until his secret became revealed.


1. We are also from Italy.- The Italian sentence Reborn had said to Kazuko.
