A/N: I would like to thank everyone that added this story to their favorites and follows as well as everyone that reviewed the last chapter.


I should have some breakfast before I reach the school.

Narumi rubbed her stomach as it howled and growled. It felt like her poor stomach was scolding her for not having breakfast before running out of the door but she couldn't help it. Reborn, Tsuna and Lambo had left for school before she woke up and there was no way she was spending more time with Nana. She really did not want to go to school with a pissed-off expression.

Her poor students should never be forced to witness her in her bad moods. But the end result was that I skipped Nana's wonderful breakfast. Narumi wiped away the imaginary tear from her eyes and stopped in her steps when a delicious scent tickled her nose.

The whiskered-cheek woman tilted her head to the side and scanned the streets to find the location of the delicious, unfamiliar scent. Blue eyes widened when Narumi spotted an unfamiliar stand on the streets. It looks like the stand makes gyoza. She might be wrong but that was what it looked like.

I hear you! She glared at her growling stomach and took a seat on the stand. There would be a need for her to just take the gyoza as a take away and rushed to work. But Narumi honestly wanted a break. With all the things that have been happening, she just wanted an extended vacation with no Reborn, Tsuna or anyone really.

She loved Tsuna and his friends but even she had her limits when it came to the stunts that Reborn was pulling behind the scene.

"Can I have one gyoza…and some oolong tea too?" Narumi asked, lying her head against the table. The man did not turn around or made any indication that he heard her request. It is considered bad service but I'm too hungry to argue. A sigh escaped her lips and the blonde stared at the man's back.

There was something about his hair and back that reminded her of someone she knew. But there is no one I know that will do their hair in a braid. She hummed and stroke her chin as the tasty scent of gyoza tickled her nose. Who did the man remind her of? Who did he remind her of? God, it was so hard for her to remember when her stomach rumbled with hunger.

"Here you go," the man said, turning around to hand her gyoza and tea. Narumi blinked and blinked as her blue eyes took in the sight of the rather handsome male in front of her. He looks like that little punk Hibari! That was who he reminded her of. She took a sip of the tea, relaxed her shoulders and watched as the man turned away from her.

"Are you related to Hibari Kyoya?" She asked. The man froze for a moment before slowly turning his head around to look at her. Brown eyes widened slightly and a small serene smile played on his lips. I'm guessing that it is a yes. Narumi took another sip of the oolong tea and stared at the smiling man.

If Hibari looked like this when he grew up, Narumi could only weep over the fact that she hadn't been born ten years later.

"How do you know my nephew?" He asked. Nephew? Narumi felt tempted to spit at the knowledge that Kyoya and this man were not cousins but nephew and uncle. But his sister never told me that she had a good-looking uncle. The knowledge made her want to growl but Narumi held herself back.

Kyoya's sister was gone and it was no use for her to cry over spilled milk.

"He is my student," Narumi finally answered, taking a bite from the gyoza bun. A slight moan escaped from her lips as the tasty gyoza finally hit her starving stomach. This man can really cook. She relaxed her shoulders. "He is smart kid but your nephew is a little bit too obsessed with the animal kingdom."

Herbivore. That was the word Hibari would use instead of a normal word like coward and then there was also the fact that he considered himself a predator. He is the opposite of his sweet older sister. If his sister had never showed him to her as a baby, she would have never considered them full-blooded siblings.

The man chuckled and sat down right in front of her. "You can blame his mother for that."

I have never seen his parents even when his sister was alive…so that is a possibility. She took another bite of the bun, chewing it slowly as her mind tried to think of what to tell him. Should she admit how she felt about it? If his uncle was similar to Hibari's sister then he probably adored that little rascal. So he would not find it weird if she admit this to him.

"I actually find that part of him amusing," she admitted. Hibari's uncle blinked and the blonde looked down at the gyoza in her hands. There were a lot of things about her student that was a contradiction. He was a delinquent but he protected this town. He liked violence but the child adored any small animal.

It was rather cute if you asked her.

"You aren't terrified of my nephew, are you?" His uncle asked. Amusement colored his tone as those serene brown eyes looked around the empty streets around them. He locked his eyes on her. "Every time I come to check up on him, I will always hear someone complaining about him because of his desire to fight. You are the first to find him amusing."

I was a kunoichi in my first life and I would have been a soldier if Nana and Iemitsu hadn't stopped me. She bit her tongue from spilling any of those words out and looked down at her tea. Hibari was someone that reminded her of Itachi. Not in his personality, god no. No one in her first life was like Hibari but the boy's love for this town reminded her of Sasuke's brother.

The same intense love and she guessed that was why she felt a soft spot for the violent kid.

"His bark is a lot worse than his bite," Narumi admitted. He chuckled and nodded his head. His brown eyes flickered from her bright blond hair before moving down to her eyes. "Behind that exterior is just a little lost boy that just needs some guidance on the road that we call life."

Hibari's Uncle smiled and his brown eyes gleamed with amusement. "Have you ever told Kyoya that?"

"So many times," Narumi admitted, waving her hand at him. "And every single time he will tell me…Sensei, I will bite you to death."

She tried her hardest to keep her face straight as she mimicked her most violent student's voice. The man laughed and Narumi smiled widely at him. At least someone finds amusement in my imitation! All the other teachers looked at me like I'm insane. She looked down at her half-bitten gyoza before looking back at the man that was now staring at her in amusement.

"I apologize if he hurt you," the man said.

"I hit him right back," Narumi informed him, shrugging her shoulders. The man raised a single eyebrow as if curious to know her actions and the blonde guessed that it was an unusual tactic. But I have been a delinquent in both life times and I demand respect. She curled her lips into a smile. "Since your cute nephew likes to talk about the animal kingdom so much, I made him realize that I'm the predator in charge."

The black-haired man coughed and chuckled while the blonde beamed at him. I haven't felt this relax in a long time. She had been so stressed out because of Reborn and his antics that it felt like a long time since she laughed like this. Maybe she should take a couple of days off and take Lambo to a resort.

Yeah, it would be a good idea for her to take her son and spend some relaxing few days away from the insanity that was her household.

"Would you like to have dinner with me?" The man asked and Narumi swirled her head at him. Brown eyes still gleamed with the amusement from her jokes and his shoulders seemed relax. I know he isn't asking me out on a date and I can figure out how to tame Hibari even more. She knew that but there was a temptation to tease the man.

She wanted to destress even more.

"I hope you aren't asking me out on a date," Narumi said. He flushed a deep shade of red, opening and closing his mouth, and the blonde chuckled. He is really different from Reborn. She frowned. Why the hell was she thinking of the asshole that made her want to take a break from her own cousin? Maybe it was because he was the only male she hanged out with.

That made sense.

"I'm not asking—"

"I know," Narumi said, flashing him a smile and waving her hand at him. "You want to know what Hibari has been up to since he is all alone in this town right? You seem to really care about your nephew."

The man relaxed his shoulders and smiled. "He is my only nephew after all…"

"Sawada Narumi but you can call me Narumi," she informed him. Being around him really is relaxing and it is nice to have a male friend that doesn't try to tease the living hell out of me. Narumi looked up at the clear blue sky before shifting her eyes at the black-haired man right in front of her.

"My name is Fon."


Kimura Yasushi.

Narumi stared down at the file before fixating her eyes on the brown-haired man before her. From the moment he entered the room, all Kimura had done was stared at her blue eyes and whiskered cheeks like it was a ghost. I don't even think we met before. She pinched her nose and stared down at the file.

He was an ordinary-looking man but his grades from his university and high school was amazing. Makes me wonder why he chose to be a teacher. She fixated her eyes on the single note that the Principal gave her. Hire him! She snorted. Of course the man would want to hire him for his grades but it would be pointless if he could not answer a single important question.

She did not want the Principal to hire a teacher that was just going to run away after he saw how the school was run.

"Kimura-san, I can see that you are applying for the science teacher position and the Principal wants to hire you," Narumi commented. Her blue eyes shifted to the trees and she relaxed her shoulders when she saw Reborn wasn't there. "But there is only one thing that I need you to answer before I decide to tell the Principal to let you in or to decline you."

Grey eyes glinted with curiosity as Narumi leaned her body forward. I'm not going to allow that Principal hire a weakling. She could tell from looking at the man that he was not like Nezu. The air of disinterest told her that he would not be judging the students if they lacked ability which made him a huge improvement from Nezu.

He did not know her or her past so he wouldn't make things difficult for her cute cousin and his friends. That alone makes me tempted to give my approval. She curled her lips into a scowl. Tsuna came first but she also did not want to go through the headache of hiring someone that could not handle this school.

"Are you willing to work in a school ran by delinquents?" Narumi asked. She stood up from her seat and strolled to the window before leaning her back against it. Grey eyes gleamed with interest and the blonde blinked. Now that was not the reaction she expected from him. "Hibari Kyoya is a student of this school. He is a cute little brat who has almost all control of this town and school…reasoning with him will result a beating. Do you think you can handle it?"

Kimura hummed and clasped his hands together into a familiar hand sign. Shikamaru was always doing that whenever he was thinking of a plan when he was stuck in a corner. She did not know why that thought occurred to her and the blonde waited for what the man had to say to her.

"It is troublesome," the man commented. "But I need a job to pay the bills."

A logical answer that tells me that he can handle it because of the paycheck. She stroke her chin as an explosion went off behind her. If she had to guess from the sound, it was not from Gokudera's dynamites. That explosion was from a distance and sounded a lot more powerful than any of her student usual explosives.

She hummed a small tune.

"Do you think you can still handle it when you will be living in a school that is like a battlefield?" Narumi asked, raising a single eyebrow at him. The man leaned his body forward and the blonde clicked her heels together, spinning around to focus on the window before her. "Every couple of days you will hear explosives being set off and if you are scared…I suggest you think again of joining this school."

The man sighed. "And if I'm not scared?"

That is interesting. She tapped her finger against the window as those grey eyes continued to stare at her. Most of the new applicants would have run out of the door by now but this guy was still interested. It was very odd. If he was apart of the Mafia, Reborn would have told her by now or rather…she would not have to go through this process.

There was an ordinary civilian that was still willing to take a job.

"I suggest that you turn a blind eye when an event like this occurs," she answered. "There is a student in my class that deals with explosives and even if you go to the police about it…his family has a way of making it seem like he never did anything. He is an intelligent kid too…so do you think that you still want this job?"

It would be a disappointment for her if he told her that he did not have the guts to handle this. If the worse comes to worse, I will actually have to ask Reborn to apply. She did not want to deal with Reborn in her own meetings too or watch all the other female teachers swoon over him. Someone like this guy would be perfect.

None of the female teachers would cause a ruckus and Tsuna could go to his science class with the knowledge that his teacher was not the sadistic Reborn. But if this guy was smart, he probably would go somewhere else. The thought made her want to weep but Narumi held herself back from actually crying.

"This school seems a lot more fun than any of the other schools that I applied for," Kimura commented. Narumi swirled her head as bored grey eyes fixated on her. There was a lazy smile playing on his lips and the blonde blinked. "You know I always thought I wanted an average life but ever since I got my wish…I am starting to realize I hate it."

"Someday, I just want to marry a regular girl who isn't too ugly and not too pretty."

Narumi didn't know why those words were coming back to her memory. That had been Shikamaru's dream. He just wanted an average life without any responsibilities. The man right in front of her looked nothing like her friend. Shikamaru had a pineapple hairstyle, black hair and used to dream of his own retirement before they even became shinobi.

A school like this would be the last thing he wanted.

"But you are the same way, aren't you Naruto?"

Narumi closed her eyes and felt her whole shoulders trembled at the name. It had been so long since someone called her by the name of her first life. She missed it. It was not like she did not mind being Narumi. She was Narumi. But a part of her was still Naruto. Sometimes she did not know who she should be.

Uzumaki Naruto dreamt of being a leader and never got her wish. She dreamt of having a family and Kami gave her that wish. But she did hate it. By being Narumi, Iemitsu and Nana had guilted her into staying in this town. They stopped her when she wanted to be a soldier because they reminded her of her second set of parents and their wish.

Her desire of having a family was both a curse and a blessing in her eyes.

"How do you know that name?" Narumi asked. I'm not going to deny it. She wanted a confirmation that this man was just like her. Someone that was stuck between being what the world around them saw them as and being who they really were. A friend. She just wanted a friend just like her again.

Someone who was not Kurama and who could remind her that she was not all in her head in believing that she was still Uzumaki Naruto.

"I know I look completely different but you still look exactly the same," the man commented with a sigh. "If anyone else in Rookie 9 saw you, none of them would believe that the knucklehead who skipped classes with me…became a teacher. Being a teacher was the last thing I saw you becoming if you were reincarnated."

Her throat dried up.

"Shikamaru!"

He sighed.

"I could have seen you become a politician, a soldier or even a leader of the Yakuza…but you really surprised me by becoming a teacher, Naruto."

He could say that again.
