Fratellanza

"Here," I told Tsunayoshi, handing him a copy of my History notes. "At some point you'll see Kyoko's handwriting, don't mind it."

"Kyoko-chan?" I nodded.

"Yeah. Anyway, you don't need help with homework or anything?" He shook his head, Reborn sipping on his espresso at the coffee table of his room.

"You might want to start learning Italian Neo Primo." Right, there was this 'Neo Primo' bullshit…

"I still suck at English and you want me to learn another language!?"

"He's freaking out Reborn," I told the hitman in Italian.

"Senpai don't do that!"

"Just wait until he goes in Italy and people start talking Sicilian around him," he replied with a smirk. I snickered.

"Stop doing that! It was bad enough at the hospital!"

"Doing what?" I asked him, feigning innocence. He pointed an accusing finger at me.

"That! Talking in a foreign language in front of me knowing fully well I can't understand!" I placed an offended hand on my chest.

"I do that?" I asked him, switching to Mandarin. He groaned and stomped out of his room.

"You seem less depressed now Hibari is awake."

"Well...now he's awake I'm relieved I mean...after three months of coma after a concussion...the chances of him waking up would have been very dim." I pursed my lips. "I know he needs time to fully go back to his usual self but...I'm worried, he still seem elsewhere pretty often."

"Aren't you very preoccupied?" I flushed and averted my eyes. "The nature of your relationship is obvious to me, don't try to deny it. Anyway, when you think about it, Hibari takes care of Namimori and now he was absent for two months where life kept going without him. He was very close to dying as well, it must have done something to him." I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Of course, what an idiot I am..."

"He's not one to just talk about his feelings though, so don't push him." I nodded. "There's a school trip planned in Kyoto in two weeks."

"I'm not in school anymore."

"There are things waiting for you at home concerning your studies. We just need chaperons for the trip, and Borin-sensei can get you in."

"I don't have a choice do I?"

"Not really." I rolled my eyes. "I thought you wanted to visit Kyoto?"

"Sure, but...on my own free will?" There was a threatening glint in his eyes. "But whatever I guess, see you!" I went down the stairs. Lambo and I-Pin grabbed my legs. "Hey!"

"Lambo-san wants to go to the movies again Luciana!"

"I-Pin train!" When did I get popular with kids?"

"Sorry but not today, I'm busy."

"But Lambo-san wants today!" Fran already dragged me in town yesterday afternoon and even spent the night home because he was spoiled, I really didn't have the time.

"Kids, let her go," Nana scolded them lightly. They did and she gave me a plastic bag. "I cooked too much tonkatsu last night, please take some."

"Thanks Nana-san. I have to go, bye." I ruffled Fuuta's hair on my way out and went home.

I was welcomed by Fran.

And Kyoya.

In a staring contest.

"I'm going to Kyoto!" They kept staring and Fran even picked his nose. "Fran!"

"I know," he muttered, going to the kitchen sink to wash his hands. Kyoya shot me an inquisitive look, pointing his finger at him.

"I became popular with kids...Fran come on, I'm walking you back to Kokuyo."

Nothing happened with Kyoya since that day at his house. It were just kisses here and then. He went back to school quickly and people were back to being wary of him, but I didn't know if he could fight like before without...I don't know, hurting his brain if he moved his head too much. He would get me to spar with him, but as I was busy and not at school anymore it was not much.

"Here, Nana-san gave it to me," I told him, giving him the food.

I went home after dropping Fran off and telling Mukuro off because of what he was saying about Kyoya. Although, Kyoya not picking a fight with him meant he wasn't completely fine yet.

"I'm home." Kyoya was sitting at the table, looking at something. "What are you looking at?" I walked up to him and raised a brow at the French book.

It probably was one of the things Reborn said I'd find.

"Did you get his ring back?" I took a sit in front of him, putting my purse on the table.

"No. I passed out during Tsunayoshi's fight against Bermuda and woke up in the hospital once everything was over. I didn't even see Checker Face. He went back to Vendicare with the rest of the Vindice but he didn't give me the ring back, even when I went there." He raised his eyes to me. "Bermuda told me a few things about...about my father, that's all."

"He came." I blinked. "He came in Namimori."

"How do you know that?"

"Sawada Tsunayoshi said it." Dang it Tsunayoshi…

"Yeah well...I thought it would be better not to tell you right now."

"Hn." Knowing the discussion was over, I took a look at the rest of the books Reborn got.

There were three different French books, same for German, one Korean book, a Spanish one and a Catalan one. I grabbed the Catalan book and read the first page. A wry smirk grew on my lips and the ring around my neck felt heavier.

I understood everything even if I had never heard a word of Catalan in my life apart from the name of the Family. I was doing it unconsciously. I was sure that if I were to go 'home', I would know the place as if I owned it.

There were also books about Russia and America, with post-its saying it would be good to know more about these countries knowing the Mafia was important there as well. He wasn't wrong.

Then it was written I'd have a tests each week.

How fun.

I was like a kid.

"You look like a kid," Kyoko told me. I nodded.

"I know but...I mean, the weather is beautiful and..." I showed the Kiyomizu-dera temple in front of us. "There's this! You don't have that in Europe!" I had seen beautiful historical buildings in China, but I never really did it in Japan. I mean...my real knowledge of Japan as a country was summed up by Namimori.

"Alright students, each chaperon will be in charge of groups of five!" the teacher said.

Kyoya wasn't a chaperon and was off somewhere. Alaric was still in Namimori for obvious reason, with Fon who never left Namimori since the Battles. Feng did once Kyoya was back at his house but not Fon as he wanted to keep an eye on his nephew and make sure he wouldn't skip doctor appointments.

Kyoko, Hana and Chrome were quick to pick me. Then, Enma decided to walk to us after shooting a look at Tsunayoshi. Tsunayoshi tried to make a run for it, but Reborn, as Borin-sensei, was also a chaperon and held him back. Ooyama, Lambo's friend, finished our group.

"No!" I heard Tsunayoshi whined before being hit by a rock in the head.

He wouldn't be with his dear Kyoko-chan.

The visit was relatively calm. The girls were leading the group, I was fascinated by everything and wanted to take a lot of pictures and buy way too many souvenirs while keeping Enma from provoking disasters. Ooyama was quite good at preventing them as well.

The one thing bothering me, said thing making me happy that Arro was back in the USA, was how some Japanese people would stare at me and even sometimes ask for a picture. I was aware foreigners were somehow fascinating but...it was creeping me out. I was the second tallest in our group, with red eyes and European features: round eyes, a button nose and full lips.

The girls insisted, and I meant Kyoko really, to get me a hair accessory. Who was I to say 'no' after all? It was how I found myself with a long hair pin with a big deep red and white flower on it, usually used to ornate a bun.

The day was tiring and I didn't see Kyoya until after dinner, when I was done with my shower. There was no way I'd use Japanese public bath, they were okay with nudity and didn't care about it in the bath, but it was not my case.

"Are you done babysitting?"

"For the day yes." I stretched out, a crack resonating in the room when my back cracked. "You had a nice day?"

"Too many people."

"It's touristic." He threw clothes at me. "Huh...my sleep?"

"Put them on." I did, muttering curses at him. I was fully aware of how his eyes lingered on my body while I was changing and it made a knot in my stomach.

We went to the Philosopher's Walk. The lanterns were lit even if there was still some natural lights. The cherry trees still had cherry blossoms on them and I shot Kyoya a quick look to check if he wasn't getting angry at them.

He didn't seem to mind and we walked side by side along the walk. It was beautiful. As it was getting darker, the lights of the lanterns were being reflected on the river. The overall atmosphere was...pretty romantic…

I widened my eyes and shook my head. Don't get ideas if they're not clearly said.

Kyoya grabbed my head to keep me from shaking it.

"Stop it stupid."

"Fuck you."

"I'm counting on it." I blushed hard and he smirked at that, which made me blush even more.

"Jerk."

Our shoulders were grazing each other but we did not hold hands and it was fine by me.

I jumped when my phone rang.

"Sorry," I told Kyoya. I walked a few meters away from him and pick up. "Yes?"

"Luciana, where are you?" I raised my brows at Reborn's voice.

"Reborn?"

"Answer the question."

"I'm...I'm with Kyoya at the Philosopher's Walk."

"It's getting dark outside." I opened my mouth to reply but he beat me to it. "I'm giving you a 9:30 curfew."

"9:30? I'm not a kid Re..."

"9:30 or I'm finding a way to bring you back right now. Hand the phone to Hibari." I did, not wanting to piss him off. Kyoya raised a brow at it.

I mouthed 'Reborn' and he took my phone, going away to talk quietly to him. I crossed my arms, staring at him talking in the phone.

Who did Reborn think he was? He was not my dad or my brother. Sure, he saw me growing up and he did raise me on certain points, but he still was not my dad.

"Hey you." I looked above my shoulders, my cold eyes settling on two Japanese men way older than me.

"Are you lost?" the other one asked me. "We could help you if you want."

"Do you understand what we're saying?" the first one inquired. My face remained unfazed. "Probably not."

I understood Japanese you douche bag.

Someone grabbed my arm and yanked me toward them. I blinked at Kyoya glaring at the two men.

"You took your time," I told him in Japanese.

"Hn." He pulled a tonfa out. "I'll bite you to death herbivores."

"What the he..." They didn't last long.

"You still have it."

"Hn." He gave me my phone back. "Let's go back. We're done here anyway."

"What did Reborn tell you?" I asked when we started walking back.

"He said if we didn't respect his curfew he'd make me pay." I rolled my eyes.

"Seriously..." I looked at the sky. "Hey, these guys...were they gaijin hunters?"

"Yes," he said sharply. "You stand out."

"I'm sorry for being European?" He smirked lightly and sped up. "Hey wait for me!"

I stretched out once in my room and noticed his bag in a corner of the room.

"Hey, what if I didn't agree with you spending the night with m..." He cut me off by kissing me, pushing me on the bed.

His hands were pinning my wrists to the mattress. I closed my legs around his hips.

"Seventeen," he whispered while taking his shirt off to throw it on the floor.

"Seventeen what?" I repeated, letting him remove my shirt and bra for them to join his clothes.

"We'll go all the way when we're seventeen," he explained, his fingers at the button of my jeans.

"In two weeks?" He nodded and I was left in my black panties. "Then what are we doing right now?" He looked at me as if I was stupid and I frowned.

"I'm giving back." I blinked in confusion and gripped his shoulders when his hand didn't linger on my breasts and slid on my stomach. I tensed a little just to relax right away when his tongue teased me in the ear.

What was the word? Erogenous, wasn't it? Sweet spot? Whatever it was called, it never failed to make me squirm and moan. His hands ran along my ribs and he left a trail of wet kisses along my neck and my collarbones to reach the other side of my neck. I hugged him around the shoulders, a hand in his hair when he started biting and sucking on my neck.

Instinctively, I arched my back and pushed my chest in his chest. He removed my legs from around his waist and fondled my thigh, going up slowly. The pace he had established was slowly making me mad with lust because between him touching me and almost setting my skin in fire and sucking on my neck, he was driving me nuts. He knew it fully well because I felt his lips lifting up against my skin.

"Kyoya..." I whispered, the heat between my legs pushing me to thrust my hips upward.

His hands pinned my hips to the bed. He made sure I had to spread my legs because of him being in-between and a finger found its way to my crotch. I took a deep breath.

"You're wet," he commented, his finger running up and down my clothed folds.

"Kyo..." I arched my back when he found my clit and rubbed it over my panties. "Ky...Kyo..."

He pushed my panties aside and I bit my bottom lip when his fingers were directly on my clit.

I let go of him and grabbed the sheets, throwing my head back. His thumb was teasing me constantly and his fingers probing my entrance without ever…

His lips swallowed my moan when a finger was inside of me. He was still painfully slow, but his thumb was doing wonder to keep the pleasure going up.

"God yes..." I whispered in a moan when Kyoya decided my breast needed attention as well.

I pressed my hand against my mouth to keep the moaning down when a second finger was added inside of me, pumping in and out of me. He curled them up and unconsciously, I spread my legs even more.

I had never come in my life before but I was pretty sure the growing heat between legs, which was about to reach its peak was a…

"Kyoya~..." I moaned behind my hand when my pleasure reached its peak and made me clench around his fingers. Waves of pleasure rippled through my entire body, all of the hairs on it standing up as I started shaking. Sweat was rolling down my skin but I didn't care.

The only thing my brain could register was how good he made me feel. I was panting, struggling to catch my breath. My throat was dry.

I blushed madly when he raised his fingers to his face, inspecting them before licking them clean. I grabbed the pillow and put it on my face.

"What?"

"It...it's too lewd!"

"You cum on my fingers." I whined in the pillow. "We're even." I lowered the pillow enough to see his face.

On top of me like that, with that smirk and disheveled hair...he was hot, stunning.

"What?" he asked me with a brow raised. I shook my head.

"Nothing..." I put my face back in the pillow.

I shivered and the sheets were over my body. He removed the pillow from my face and took it for him.

"Thief," I hissed through my teeth.

"You don't even know how to use it properly."

"Jerk." He looked so smug. I stretched out my hand to steal my pillow back but he pulled me on his chest instead. "...I guess I can do with using you as a pillow. You did so many times with me."

"I've never heard a complain."

"You'd bite me to death if I complained."

"I do that without you complaining," he reminded me, his fingers ghosting over the marks on my neck.

I flushed. Would everything he say from now on sound sexual?

"You're too smug about this," I muttered, my face buried in his neck.

"You didn't mind a few minutes ag…" I pressed my hand on his lips.

"Shut. Up." He licked my finger. "Come on!"

"Don't shut me up." He turned off the light on the nightstand.

My phone rang soon after. Kyoya growled and tried to keep me in bed but I still managed to get out. I grabbed his shirt and put it on.

I picked up.

"Superbi?" The lamp was on again. "How did it go?" Kyoya got up.

I locked myself in the bathroom to avoid him trying to cut off the communication.

"It went fine, he's awake and he'll stay under medical observation for two weeks to see if everything is getting used to the new lung without any problem." I sighed in relief.

"No issue during the surgery?"

"Well..." I frowned, my heart skipping a beat but for an entire different reason than with Kyoya. "They didn't inject him enough anesthesia at first and they got scared he would wake up so he got more. The Boss's totally fine, but they struggled a little to connect the lung with the rest because Jaeger had destroyed other...things...I don't know the details."

"It's fine, I get the gist of it. Tell him to call me when he's fine. Thanks for calling."

"Yeah whatever," he grumbled, maybe embarrassed. I hang up and left the bathroom.

Kyo almost gave me a heart attack because of how close he was to the door.

"Before you say anything, my brother lost a lung during the fight and finally had his transplant. I asked Superbi to call once it was over because Xanxus wouldn't tell me anything and I was right, because two days ago when I had him on the phone he didn't even tell me he was going to have his surgery today." He averted his eyes to the side, scowling. "And he's fine, thanks for asking." I yawned and went back to bed, finally getting my pillow back. "Haha! Victory!"

Kyoya used me as a pillow all night long.

"What?"

"Hibari-san and you, you have a thing going on!" Kyoko repeated with a flame burning in her eyes. "When we were in Kyoto the girls wanted a sleepover so I went to get you but you weren't there. There was a boy's bag, it could only be his, right! I said you were tired but..." I put my hand on her mouth and sighed.

"Don't...scream it on the rooftop, keep it to yourself." She nodded eagerly.

"Of course Ana-senpai!" She clapped her hands together and we stopped the dojo in Nami-Middle. "It's just you're made for each other you know, so it makes me so happy to know it's finally happening!" I pursed my lips.

Was it normal for girls or people in general to be happy when others were...getting romantically involved? I knew I was glad but slightly crept out by Lal and Colonnello, even if they keep calling off their wedding, because Lal was back to her twenty-eight-year old body, but Colonnello was three or something close to it physically speaking.

It was...weird to think about.

"Do you remember what you learned before?" I asked Kyoko while opening the door.

"Yes, I might need a reminder but I remember the most important I think." I nodded.

"This time I won't be the only one to teach, it will be more practical."

We removed our shoes and left to change quickly, yours truly having opted for black tracksuit bottom and a white tank top. Kyoko helped me get the dojo ready while the other girls were slowly coming.

Basically, Hana came to me asking for self-defense lessons once again while we were in Kyoto because some guys were being annoying. I accepted and Kyoko and Chrome said they wanted to join as well, Haru automatically being added as well.

I asked I-Pin for help, she accepted immediately. Bianchi said she'd be here as well.

"Okay, hello, nice to see you," I told the girls in front of me. "Haru, do you have any notions of self-defense or anything?"

"I am a part of the gymnastics club at my school." I raised a brow.

"That can be pretty useful. Alright, self-defense. Chrome, you're already more advanced than the others, so I-Pin will take good care of you." She smiled at the little girl, who smiled back.

"There's something I've been wondering for a while," Hana said suddenly. I gazed at her. "Why didn't you join a martial art club?" I shrugged.

"I'm already a black belt in taekwendo, judo and karate and can handle myself in jiujitsu and kung-fu, I wouldn't have had a challenge with them."

"That's right, weren't you in competitions back in the day?" Bianchi asked me. "I believe I heard Reborn or Dino mention it in front of me." I nodded.

"Yeah, mainly in the first three mentioned"

"Hahi, that's impressive!" I shrugged.

"I was still in the featherweights category back then, but yes." I smirked smugly. "I did reach the national level of the Chinese taekwendo competition two years in a row."

"Did you win?" I lowered my head with a sigh at Hana's question.

"No, I lost to the same guy. He also kept beating me in other competitions. I won the girl category when I was in it though." My ego was flattered at the impressed looks.

"Second place!" I-pin yelled in Mandarin. I glared weakly at her.

"He told you that?" I swear Master...when you told me you talked about me as an example, I didn't think it was this particular thing. "Anyway, I think Bianchi can take care of Kyoko and Hana as they already have some basics and I'll see with Haru from where we can start."

At some point, Adelheid appeared with her cold looks on her face. She scanned the room and left. I shrugged. I still didn't like her and she would ask for a fight occasionally, what Enma told her previously gone by now.

The highlight of the afternoon was definitely when Tsunayoshi decided to visit and startled Kyoko, who knocked the air out of him by a punch. He was with his gang. Gokudera yelled at her then worried about his Juudaime, Takeshi was surprised and Ryohei was the proudest big brother there ever was.

Although, Dino was proud to the point of tears when I graduated. But he was still a crybaby inside about certain things, including me.

Meh, I loved him nonetheless.
