I left Japan for mafia school when I was eight years old, only coming back during the summer and holidays to visit my family back in Japan. Though, it was weird. I vaguely remembered at least one person in her class who I went to primary school with. I guess that he just didn't speak up and didn't really care about the school gossip. It seems that the rest of the kids had gone to Midori Middle, Simon Middle or even Kokuyo Middle.
Word went around that Dame-Tsuna had a sister and I knew there were stares that followed me where I went. I ignored them, it wasn't as if it was worth my time but I think they heard about my coldness to the boy who called him Dame-Tsuna in front of me and I didn't hear anyone else call him that.
I did feel a slight tugging at my heart. Had he not talked about me when I left for school? It was a stupid reason to be sad but I always mentioned him whenever I talked to someone. Being a twin is pretty cool. But even back then Tsuna had been bullied for his "Dame-ness". Maybe he just didn't have anyone to talk to really till now? He did say that "everything had been the same since you've been gone" and when I left, he didn't have many real friends.
Thinking to myself, I walked up to my brother's desk at the end of classes. "Let's go home?" I asked. Tsuna nodded and smiled. Packing up his things to leave, we left along with Gokudera and Yamamoto. I spoke up to the two boys, "So, when did you guys meet Tsuna?"
Yamamoto scratched his head in thought, "Hmm, a couple months ago? We are first years at this school and I came from a different school beforehand."
"Yeah, around that time. I transferred from Italy," Gokudera nodded in agreement.
It had confirmed my suspicions and I felt my heart drop again. I guess he had not made many real friends throughout his earlier years. Tsuna was alone for quite some time and I wasn't always able to be there for him. I felt guilty. I knew I left for good reason but it still made me feel as though I could still do more. I was just happy he was able to find friends to laugh and smile with even if they were the dynamite-thrower and baseball lover. From here on, I will be much more involved in Tsuna's life and be a better sister. I nodded to myself in determination.
"Anyways," Yamamoto smiled, "Where did you go to school?"
I mused. I guess I could slip a little bit out as clues, "Italy, actually."
Tsuna's eyes widened, "You were in Italy this entire time?"
I laughed, "I thought you knew." I know I mentioned it at one point when I was home. How could I not? It was Italy. I laughed internally. Oh, the shock he would be in when he found out what I was doing in Italy. "Italy was really nice and I missed Japanese culture. But I really will miss my wine mornings, though." I made a mental note to ask my dad for some. It was how we bonded. I drank wine and he had beers. What an old man, I snickered.
"Wine?" Tsuna said.
"Drinking at a young age in Italy is normal, Juudaime" Gokudera pointed out, I sensed he wanted to show off what he knew about his home country. "With it being a wine country and all. The drinking age of Italy is 16 but families normally let their kids enjoy wine with them earlier."
We came to a crossroads where we all were going different directions to our homes. After bidding goodbye to Yamamoto and Gokudera, we were walking away when we heard yelling coming from the road Gokudera had gone down.
"Wait, Juudaime! Let me come over and meet your father!" I guess Gokudera remembered that our dad was back and Gokudera talked about his promise to meet him first as it was the loyal duty of the right-hand man. I stared at him incredulously, this guy's loyalty was something else.
Tsuna shrieked slightly, at least that part of him hadn't changed, "No, no, you really don't need to meet my deadbeat father." My eyebrows raised and I looked at Tsuna questioningly. I wasn't really surprised, to say the least. Dad had not been around much for Tsuna's life as he had for mine and for him to harbor a near hatred for him was sort of… expected, especially when in Tsuna's eyes he could have been there more. And Dad teased Tsuna too much. "Plus," Tsuna added, "I would like some time with Yuki, if that was okay…" he trailed off.
Gokudera made a surprised face, he waved his hands in front of Tsuna feeling sorry that he might have been acting as a bother to his boss and said with remorse, "No, I'm sorry I was intruding. I'll see you tomorrow, Juudaime, Yuki-chan." With that, he walked back towards his house.
When we walked in, Dad was sleeping on the floor, passed out after eating. Tsuna's eyes widened at the sight and, in annoyance, he closed the sliding door separating the kitchen and walked up the stairs. I followed suit, following him to his room. I sat down on his bed and crossed my legs as Tsuna sat down on the floor.
I smiled, memories of Christmases and Summers filled with playing in his room came to mind. "Now that I'm officially back, I'll be coming in even more to bother you."
"I really am happy that you're back Yuki," Tsuna said fondly.
I beamed, "I'm happy, too."
"Ciaossu," A squeaky voice came out of nowhere. A voice that I knew could only come from one person.
"Reborn!" Tsuna yelled, crossing his arms in front of his face to shield from something that he thought was coming.
I looked in recognition at the familiar baby whose eyes mirrored the same sentiment and smiled, "Hello, little one." Something I knew I could only get away with because I had to act like I didn't know him. "I'm Yuki, Tsuna twin-sister. Who are you?"
"Reborn and don't call me little one," Reborn said, holding a green gun to my head. Well, I guess I couldn't get away with that one. I shrieked and raised my arms the same way Tsuna was holding his to hide from the Leon gun.
"Hai, hai, I'm sorry, Reborn. What are you doing here?" I wanted that gun away from my face as soon as possible. I sighed a breath of relief when he put it down.
Reborn answered my question even though I already knew the answer, "I'm Tsuna tutor to train him to become a mafia boss."
Tsuna yelled again, "Reborn! Don't go telling people things like that!"
I played along, well it was me who asked them not to tell. But playing the part I said, "Oh, okay, I see." I nodded letting Tsuna know that I understood and would let it go.
"YOU JUST BELIEVE HIM?" I laughed at Tsuna's frightened eyes.
It was a Sunday and Yamamoto suggested we skip our supplementary classes to go hang out in order to get Tsuna's head away from Dad's reappearance in his life after two years. I was all for it. Anything to get away from classes that I knew things about. This included calling "everyone" and I was beyond excited to meet who all of that was. Maybe a few more friends who weren't in their class?
While walking through town, I smiled at the large group surrounding Tsuna which included Reborn, Fuuta, Lambo and I-pin, all of whom lived with them, Yamamoto and Gokudera, who she had already met, and two girls, Kyoko and Haru.
I examined the dynamics of the group. Yamamoto was really laid back and chill, though I silently reckoned him to be a strong force. I just felt like he was more serious than he let on. No one could be that carefree. Gokudera was really loyal, like insanely loyal to Tsuna, and was very protective and easily irritated. Lambo was the embodiment of a child, his whining, crying and childish pranks would be something I have to get used to. I could not stand him. Now I-pin. I-pin was the most adorable child I had ever seen. The moment I met I-pin my heart had soared and I could not get enough of her adorableness and energy.
Kyoko was in my class and had introduced herself the day she came in. I was immediately reminded of Mom when Kyoko had come up to me, with her innocent eyes and kindly nature. She was someone that I hoped I would come to be great friends with. It didn't seem like it would be hard though. She was very nice. I admit that Haru… was a different breed but nice as well. I admired Haru's outspokenness when she first introduced herself, saying that she would become Tsuna's wife in the future. She definitely knew what she wanted. That last part though. The look on Tsuna's face when she said that was priceless!
I looked at my brother, noticing the obvious heart-eyes he was making at Kyoko, and laughed. Reborn called out for Tsuna, "Hey, don't forget you still have to do all of those homework assignments to make up for classes today." Reborn jumped off of Yamamoto's shoulders and onto mine. Reborn and I were already good acquaintances as we met in Italy.
Tsuna melted in sadness, "Don't remind me!" Everyone laughed as he clutched onto his head, making a face.
Fuuta mentioned that he wanted to go to that arcade and I nodded in agreement with everyone else, thinking it was a good idea.
"Where's Lambo-kun?" Kyoko had realized that the little cow boy was missing. I looked around realizing that it was awfully quiet without the little kids rambling. I shrugged.
We walked around looking for the kid and found him in one of the pet stores… inside the windowed screens that you would normally see dogs in. He looked like he belonged there with the cow-suit and large afro and horns, making him look like an animal more than a little kid. I snickered whilst Tsuna was bowing profusely while apologizing to the shop owner.
We made it to the arcade where, finally, we could all relax and have fun. I left the others looking around at the different games scattered around the arcade. Air hockey and skee-ball didn't seem appealing at the moment. I searched around looking for something to play when I came upon a photo booth.
I ran back to Tsuna and pulled his arm hard, dragging him away from Lambo, I-pin, Haru and Kyoko. "Tsuna! I found a photo booth! Let's take pictures," I squealed, not giving him the chance to say no.
I pulled him into the photo booth and put in some money. As the countdown for the photo began, Tsuna looked at me, "What should I do." He put his arm around my shoulders and with the other hand put up a peace sign. I mirrored him. The machine clicked and we relaxed.
"Ok, ok, funny face!" I ordered and puffed up my face while giving Tsuna a pair of bunny ears. We walked out and waited for the photo to print. Two copies of the photos came out. I grabbed them, handed one strip to Tsuna and then examined the photos. "Tsuna, I think the last photo is the best," I pointed at the photo where my right arm was wrapped around Tsuna's shoulder and my left arm was under his chin, squishing his face. His arms were flailing in the air trying to get out of my grip.
Tsuna looked at the photo and exclaimed, "You were holding me so tight I couldn't get out!"
I laughed and he followed, "It was still a good picture."
From behind us, a voice yelled, "Found them!" I turned around. Yamamoto was pointing at us and motioning for the rest to come follow.
Haru took a look at the photo booth we came out of and insisted, "That looks fun! Let's take lots of photos!" Everyone agreed and groups took turns shuffling into the booth. Tsuna with me, Gokudera, and Yamamoto, then Tsuna with Reborn and Fuuta, then Tsuna with Haru and Kyoko. The two girls invited me into the photo but I shook my head and winked at Tsuna, who turned very red. I wanted to leave him with the two cute girls, but sadly I-pin and Lambo had ruined a very good photo-op.
After all the playing, Lambo told Tsuna that he was thirsty. As Tsuna went to go get Lambo and I-pin drinks, Kyoko followed shortly after. The rest of the group had separated and decided to meet up in a little bit. I looked around and saw a cute clothing store. The thought of buying something to celebrate my first couple days at Namimori sounded nice. I went into the shop and immediately began looking through the racks of shirts. I spotted a kimono top that had lotus flowers covering it. This was it, I felt the happiness and immediate attachment to the article clothing in my hand. Marie Kondo would be proud.
As I went to go and pay for the top, I heard what sounded like a crash. A really big one followed by multiple screams and the sound of running. Quickly grabbing the bagged purchase, I ran outside looking for the source of the sound. My eyes darted around and latched onto a figure falling onto my brother.
Looking closer, I saw a blue flame on the person's forehead as he got up and a metal edge in his hands.
That was Basil from my dad's organization. That I knew for sure. The only thing was why was he here? I then realized what was going on. Xanxus. I didn't really know what was going on, but there were rumors floating around that had to do with the inheritance of the Vongola.
My heart pounded against my chest as realization dawned on my face. Xanxus was here because of the rings and even though I wish it happened later, I was here because of the rings, too.
A/N: Hey this is Jae! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this story! I'm gonna be really trying to update and I came back to FF because yknow, quarantine haha. Life has been more chill so I decided to go back to one of my old past times, reading and writing fanfiction. Review and let me know what you think! Maybe some criticisms would be nice too! I'm gonna really try my best to not have OOC characters, especially when Hibari comes in. Thats gonna be a tough one! I just really wanted to say thank you! I've written so many fanfics that I have started, restarted, deleted and then reposted that I thought, hey I'm in quarantine, what else should I do other than study? So hopefully updates will be often for me and I won't get much writer's block. This will need major editing once I'm done though but maybe at the end when I have tied up my loose ends and maybe even decided on a better path for certain situations. Thanks again 3
