Beginning of Training
Reborn had a lot to think about before sending a report home.
It concerns the foreseen alternate future that threatens all futures that may bleed to their era, and what was done...as well as other concerning things.
He really, REALLY worries about her future as a Donna if the people that gravitate to her are people who have been hurt.
That does not explain Hibari and Sasagawa that he had their backgrounds checked.
Hibari Kyouya, grandson of the local Superintendent, but a delinquent who attacks other delinquents with sheer brutal force, reinforces his own brand of rules and all rulebreakers...get a beating. He was also said to burn what he deems as 'contraband' in public, be it drugs and porn magazines teenagers may possess and has his own band of followers who do the same(but much nicer than he is at any rate). His parents are divorced, living in two separate countries at a young age, leaving him to his grandparents who supports him. Related to Fon through Chinese relations through his grandmother's paternal blood, making him Fon's grand-nephew. Since he was the only child since in the family, understandably, he was doted on despite his difficult personality both borne from childhood trauma and being a Cloud.
It is said that since meeting Tsunade, one of his 'lost birds', his personality greatly changed. Reborn felt Fon might pay a visit.
Sasagawa Ryohei has at least, a normal, stable family. He has it lucky compared to his peers in regards to home and school life. If Yamamoto was Baseball Freak he was Boxing Freak. Well-liked in school but, well, nobody likes to join the Boxing Club because he was too...extreme in training methods nobody but he could last in it so he's really the only one in the club, but still optimistically persists.
Then there's Chrome Dokuro...who is she?
He had done his best to remember the face of the eyepatched woman.
Then using photoshop, he did his best to make that face teenage years...and matched it in Japan's database.
Its a young girl still in grade school. But files say she is Home-Schooled. Sure its legal, but why? Nobody does that anymore due to the damages isolation can cause to one's psyche at a young age. Tsunade was good example of that but home-isolation is a bit different from public isolation but still...
"...she's basically the second youngest of the bunch." he thought with a frown.
He sought her out.
He investigated her.
As far as the mother was concerned before marrying her stepfather, all she needs to know is language and mathematics before letting her go to Junior High. That, and the mother who's an actress is quite the personality that the child clearly is incapable of feeling anything beyond resignation, being neglected beyond material, educational and sustenance needs. Her tutors are just as strict thus has no emotional attachments whatsoever.
However, there was a third tutor training her in P.E...
Oddly enough, while she showed no emotion to anyone else, this lady P.E Teacher was the only one to treat her kindly thus she tends to smile shyly, making her look sweet and cuter as she responds well to being treated kindly.
The P.E Teacher was a nasty trainer though. Those are weights...right? And a metal stick for her to practice self-defense with a stick?
However...the P.E Tutor was no ordinary. She can sense him and just looked amused. And training in question was as if the girl is being prepared for something. Because that's no typical Sojutsu taught in school...that's genuine, art-of-war style, for cold-blooded battle and killing. And her movements reminded her of those crazy Freelancers.
As a month went by under observation after teaching Tsunade, this girl wound up developing two personalities as a result.
The Doll around her parents, Language and Math Tutors and family servants...and a Normal Girl around her P.E tutor and starting to blossom as she learns more emotions.
However, the P.E Teacher is under a contract just like the other tutors.
Strangely enough, while the Japanese, English and Math Tutors have until spring, time for Junior High, the P.E Tutor has until summer next year.
However...when he looked, only the Language and Math Teachers are paid by the parents so...
Who paid for the P.E Teacher?! And clearly, the parents don't know this new addition and the stupid servants just assumed things. Talk about a security breach, morons, it was good that this lady has no bad intentions...

'Hummm...you found Chrome-chan neh?' Tsunade mused.
Some time ago, she saw this girl outside buying some sweets in Roppongi and had the strong need to have the girl trained, thus, secretly tracked her down, investigated, hired and paid for it as long as she, the client, remains anonymous.
No wonder.
This girl is hers.
'Yes.' said Reborn as he held up a white screen cloth with a frame, and had Leon become a Projector. 'This is her. Natsume Nagi.'
'Anyway you look at it...' Yamamoto mused as they looked hard at the photo. 'That's eyepatch girl.'
'Maybe at some point in the future she lost an eye.' Amon shuddered at what-could-have-beens, hows and whys. 'Questions are, when, how and why?'
'Yeah...given Vongola's resources with her status she could have easily purchased an Eye Transplant...why didn't she?' Gokudera frowned.
'That's anyone's guess.' Tsunade mused, intrigued. 'She's cute with both eyes. Natsume Nagi huh? Why the name change to Chrome Dokuro, as in, spoken in western order with the first name being english?'
Then she paused.
Reaching for her notebook and pen, she tore out a page that got the guys pausing and circled around her to see what she'd do.
Chrome Dokuro(in English)
クロムドクロ
She rearranged it to
ロクドムクロ
'...Rokudo Mukuro?' Gokudera blinked as Reborn's eyes darkened.
'Well, its a proper name I got after arranging it...its a guy.' she said. 'But why take on a guy's name?'
Tsunade's intuition is at it again.
She does and says things that border on precognition despite not knowing anything about it.
'Rokudo Mukuro...huh? I hope your intuition is wrong this time as last I checked, he's a guy, not a girl...and an inmate in a high-security prison for those with Life Sentences in the Mafia, just a step away from Vendicare, a prison all mafioso fear as not even Dons and Donnas can make them see their way. They are cold, ruthless and merciless in pursuit of criminals, extremely-neutral and does things by-the-book. And bargaining is often as tough as a 1000-piece puzzle to be done in an hour which is mostly IMPOSSIBLE. He's in prison so its unlikely that you will meet right now yet at some point, you will and he'd drag the poor girl into our world somehow. And in the future, she's your Guardian...makes me wonder what has to happen to turn out that way.'
'Beats us.' Tsunade shrugged. 'She seems to be a do-no-wrong sweet girl.'
'Well for the most part, you're right. Keep on reading brats.'
They read the full details.
'...This woman, I know of her.' said Reborn. 'Dino did a thorough research on Japan's brand of crazy. You know her, Tsunade?'
'She nearly disemboweled me back at Battleship Island, I'd know.' said Tsunade wryly as she earned wide-eyed stares for that. 'One of the Miroku Seven Siblings, Miroku Kirara. One of the seven personalities living in one body.' she said.
'They're a clan wherein there's several souls in one body. Each of these individuals will then master skills that will benefit the clan until the time comes for the extras to disappear by Unification of Souls, and leave all they have to the strongest personality gender-be-damned. Kirara is the fastest and also, youngest sibling but physically the weakest. Its no illusion, she's very real...when she comes out, the male body really changes physiologically and when Mido Ban checked being the pervert he was, the other brothers took turns kicking his face when Kirara cried 'Pervert!''
'That's so...weird...' Gokudera croaked out.
'That's not all...when they switch, the injuries they gain heal instantly and switchings continue that they're combat immortals. Even fatal injuries are nothing to them unless you're that lucky.' Tsunade sighed. 'You need to be freaking strong to quickly knock out the current personality before the switch happens and even that, is a tall order. The Miroku Clan are insanely strong...for them, training is everything. This is the creed of the Miroku Clan. Even if a child fails to inherit his father's natural ability, training can replace whatever talent he lacks. Training is the reason why the Miroku Clan has never been defeated, for each Miroku must always be at their prime.'
'And that is why I'm being hard on you guys because if in a job they're our rivals again...good lord, we need to really risk everything just to escape them.' Tsunade shuddered.
'I see...then it means we'll have to work real hard huh?' Reborn chuckled. 'In anyone in Mafia Italy...who stands a chance?'
'Nobody!' came Tsunade's instant damning word.
'Nobody?!' Yamamoto sweatdropped as his friend nodded grimly.
'Nobody. Only the guys in Japan can ever hope to deal with a Unified Miroku and its only two men I know. Mido and Akabane, no one else.'
"Not even Fon huh...yikes." Reborn thought.
'Well, since Chrome-chan is getting training from a Miroku, let's be stricter on ourselves!' Tsunade declared. 'Yamamoto-kun can start when we get your daddy's approval OK?'
(Yamamoto lied to his dad about taking on Martial Arts classes. In a way, he's right, but...not in the way his father expected...)

By the end of the year...Yamamoto and Gokudera are now fifteen, Tsunade fourteen, and Hibari seventeen...and Chrome being just turned thirteen.
But sometime in December...
The house got a phone call. 'Yes, Fuyuki Residence.' Yamamoto answered.
/Get Tsunade on the phone now!/ came a man's frantic cry, /How to stop Hibari's weird situation?!/
'Define weird.'
/He burst into purple flames all of a sudden!/
'Ah that? Tell him to relax and cool down because right now, he's activated his Propagation Powers. He can literally multiply anything he wants and I do mean anything. Healing speed? Physical strength and speed? Even ridiculous things, he can multiply but whether be it Permanent or Temporary is up to him as there can be no take-backs. That's what she told me when she taught me this stuff.' Yamamoto explained.
/I see. Thanks!/
'...yare yare, Hibari, a Cloud...bad enough he's strong, he just got stronger.' Yamamoto shuddered, already pitying the poor fools who crossed the guy.
He was a Rain when awakened. He can Pacify and Neutralize anything he pleases. Thus unless he has strong belief in his powers, he can repel almost anything chucked at him. His problem was confidence as his mindset still 'needs more work'.
He's 'not as crazy' as his friends are so uh...he has to be crazy like them, perhaps?
And when Spring Came...
'Alright, time for you guys to go to school.' said Reborn to Gokudera and Tsunade. 'You guys need to adjust to normal society once more. Yamamoto will help you two since he's in society longer than you two have.' he said. 'You must get a complete education because in the end, it still garners you respect no matter what country you go to. So at least, graduate College while juggling your Freelancing Lifestyle and I expect good grades from the lot of you!' he said sternly to the two mafia kids in the house.
'Do we have to?' Tsunade whined. 'I don't wanna go!'
'You have to go!' Reborn bopped her on the head. 'Freelancing doesn't last forever not to mention too many competition! At some point, you guys will have to retire from Freelancing and land legal jobs. Well, with Tsunade being a top-class chef, its easy for her to open a livelihood with her famiglia so you guys have a place to go to when Freelancing is no longer an option.' he told them. 'Tomorrow's your big day, so hut-hut!'
Tsunade grumbled mutinously.
'Maa maa, surely it can't be bad...' said Amon. 'I'm sure Reborn searched schools with non-existent delinquency...'
Reborn's eyes glinted.
Ohhh he took steps alright!
And so...
'Why are we in separate schools?'
Tsunade was in an all girls' school next to an all-boys' school!
'Granted, we're next door to each other but this is ridiculous!' Gokudera sputtered, 'What is Reborn-san thinking separating us like this?!'
'Its for Tsunade-chan to overcome her issues by herself I guess...before we're transferred elsewhere once conditions are met I think?' Yamamoto said nervously as Tsunade was utterly mutinous. The two boys nervously looked at each other, very worried.
Then they saw her.

Chrome also looked at her new school.
Its her first time being in school as she was homeschooled all her life.
But she was enrolled in this all-girls' school that has a Junior, High and University so she's basically stuck here for ten years.
But she'll be OK.
Her P.E Tutor taught her a lot about things she never knew about. And she developed well as a girl.
(as far as a girl raised by a warrior that is)
She'll manage.
She'll be OK for sure.
From the scrawny small girl she once was out of neglect, she became a rosebud to bloom in the future, her training ensured it so. She has shoulder-length hair into low, loose pigtails secured with hair tubes and fringes framing her face.
But she would wait for now.
Wait for her own time to leave. She has to finish at least, Junior High before she's gone for good to find her own family, a family that would really care for her.

Lilian All-Girls' Private School.
Right next door is Hanadera All-Boys', separated by walls.
The purpose was to raise educated, cultured, well-groomed and well-mannered ladies and gentlemen. Students thus, are carefully-selected into admission, not allowing anyone with 'bad background' here such as histories of delinquency and such.
Due to this, Gokudera had to cut his hair.
For Tsunade and the boys who are in sophomore year and Nagi as a first year, they had to learn how their school works that made them...nervous. Transferees were made to take that orientation with the freshmen before they could officially go to their classes.
For one straight week before lessons truly began, how a student must behave was taught to them and how the system works.
"Crap crap...I have to pick her as my little sister fast before I'm picked by a Senior!" Tsunade thought. She has to ensure her Guardian is close to her.

'Nee Gokudera...what if we get picked by older bros?' Yamamoto asked Gokudera. 'And we gotta find little brothers too.'
'What was Reborn-san thinking enrolling us here...' Gokudera choked out. '...considering what we are?'
'No clue kiddo but the purpose was to rehabilitate you and Tsuna-chan into learning how to integrate in society again.' said Yamamoto. 'It'll be hard but everything will be OK for sure.' he said reassuringly. 'Let's go find us some brothers before the rules give us trouble if we don't find good ones we'd like.'
'Gimme a break...'
