(AN: 'Thinking', "Talking in Italian", "Talking in Japanese")

On the walk back to the house everything was the same as before until they got home and Reborn had her go to her room after dinner to do her homework. When she sat at her desk and got started not even thinking she started doing it as if she was still Dame-Tsuna, out of nowhere she got smacked on the back of the head with a Leon hammer. Turning around to look at her offender Tsukihana looked at Reborn, "What was that for?"

"You're doing it wrong if you don't want to be Dame-Tsuna anymore then prove it."

At his statement she blinked a few times just staring before turning back and looked at what she had done so far and realized her mistake. Now that everyone knew she could truly be herself, with renewed vigor she erased what she had done and started again doing it without holding herself back. Behind her Reborn just lowered his fedora and smirked thinking, 'Maybe this will be more interesting then I previously thought.' After she was finished, she handed it to Reborn to check over and to his surprise, although he didn't show it, it was all correct. Looking back at her he smirked again and said, "Good, now get ready for bed we have training tomorrow before school, a boss must always be punctual." With that he left the room so she could get changed and walked downstairs to talk to Nana. Seeing her in the living room talking to Bianchi he walks up them with a serious expression on his face "Maman can I talk to you alone." Without hesitation Bianchi gets up and goes to her room without a word. "Sure Reborn-kun."

Hopping up onto the couch and looking her in the eyes he came right out and said it, "Do you know why Tsukihana pretends to be Dame-Tsuna?" Looking surprised she replies, "What do you mean Reborn-kun." At her response he just sighed and told her everything about the bullying, her grades, everything concerning her. Well everything but the mafia stuff of course even he won't break the Omerta, though he is part of the Strongest Seven he knows not to cross the Vindice. Hearing the truth of her daughter's struggles she could do nothing but cry muttering how sorry she was. At this point in walked Iemitsu and stopped in his tracks at seeing his wife in tears, "What happened." Hearing her husband, she turned and ask, "Is it true, did you forget her name, are we such horrible parents to not realize how much our daughter has suffered."

"You're not a bad parent mama I just didn't want to see you cry anymore when I came home hurt from the bullies," turning to the stairs everyone saw Tsukihana, "You are the only one who was always there for me until Xanxus and Kyoya-nii came along, now I have Reborn and my friends too, so don't cry mama." Of course, being the idiot he was, Iemitsu and to add in his two cents by pouting and asking, "What about me Tuna-Fishy?"

Looking to the excuse of a man that was unfortunately her father she stared at him with a blank face and said in a bored voice, "What about you?" This caused him to flinch, but before he could say anything though she started speaking again. "You are just the man who comes by for a few days every few years to laze around and then leave making mama sad when you do leave." At this she turns and starts to walk back up the stairs but stops half-way and turns her head to look over her shoulder at the shocked face of Iemitsu to add the final nail in his coffin, "Reborn is more of a father figure to me then you are." Turning back and continuing her way up-stairs to her room she missed Iemitsu break down, this plus everything that happened earlier at the school all too much for him to take, the shock on her mama's face, and even the undisguised shock in Reborn's face. In all his life no one has said that they see him, the greatest hitman in the world, as their father figure. Although even in his shocked state Reborn couldn't help but think that they deserved every bit of what happened, even Nana, for putting his student through it. After the long and stressful day everyone had then quietly and solemnly went to their rooms for the night.

In the morning, despite the revelations of the night before, Reborn woke Tsukihana in the usual way for her morning training. True to his word Reborn worked her harder than before in order to better base line of her true skills and an idea of what direction to go from here. To his delight she was better than he was previously led to believe and would be easier to mold into a proper boss than his other student Baka-Dino. After training they headed back to the house for breakfast and to get ready for school. Even the walk to school was different for she walked with confidence, along the way she met up with her friends. Other than the sound of the city around them it was unusually quiet, her Rain and Storm Guardians just watched her not sure how to deal with the revelations of last night. Tsukihana just sighed and said, "I'm still me guys just stronger and smarter than you thought."

"Sorry Tsuna, I mean Tsukihana, it was just such a shock last night." Said Yamamoto.

Smiling she said, "If it makes it easier you can call me Tsuki." Yamamoto just smiled back and nodded his head.

"Juudaime is still Juudaime she is just more awesome than before." Content and happy everything is ok between them the three continue to school. Upon reaching the school gates everyone around stopped and stared as Dame-Tsuna walked up to the demon prefect. "Good Morning Kyoya-nii." At her words those who did not know blanched and watched waiting for the inevitable beating she would get for not only crowding him but even worse, calling him by his first name. All anyone could think about was 'I didn't think even Dame-Tsuna was this dumb, does she have a death wish?'

"Hn, no crowding Omnivore-Imoto" Backing up a set she said sorry and went on her way to class with her friends behind her. No one could believe what they saw and despite another warning from Hibari didn't move, for they were in shock, got bitten to death and sent to class. All day the only thing anyone talked about was what happened at the school gate. Any time her classmates saw her they would stare and gossip, by the time lunch came around Tsukihana gathered her friends and went up to the roof to try to escape.

This same pattern continued to go on for the rest of the week despite Gokudera's yelling to stop and the constant punishments from Hibari. Tsukihana was happy for the weekend even if she still had to train with Reborn every day, though she dreaded school come Monday. The small break from school gave her a chance to gather all, even Mukuro through the mental link with Chrome, her Guardians to explain what happened in her childhood and the reasons for her actions. She was beyond happy when everyone excepted the real her with no real issues.

During lunch on Monday before the group could head up to the roof everyone else in class ran to windows at one of the students shout to see what was going on, "Hey check it out a couple of limos just pulled up." Tsukihana just groaned and cursed in Italian wondering what Reborn was up to now but walked up to the window too. The few people around her in hearing distance that was not her friend gave her weird looks for talking in another language. At seeing the Varia exit the cars and walk up to Hibari standing in the middle of the courtyard she went as pale as a ghost in fear of the upcoming fight. Once in front of the prefect and seeing he had all eyes on him he gave a very evil smirk and called out for all to here, "Sawada Tsukihana get your ass over here."
