Author's Notes:

Allow me to explain a few things.

First, I will not do character introductions per chapter. They take too long and I just want to do the parts which are heavily influenced by change.

Second, assume that the stuff that I didn't mention happens as they do in canon.

This chapter contains the introductions of these characters: Gokudera, Yamamoto, Lambo and Bianchi.

Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

Meeting Smoking Bomb Hayato

The next day, Tsuna and Mia were graced with the presence of another Italian – this one more openly hostile than Hibari. The silver-haired Gokudera Hayato just oozed delinquent when he swaggered into class. He was good looking but had a mean glare that could have broken glass. Despite that, girls swooned at the sight of him while Mia tensed.

For an Italian, he had a very Japanese name. Asides from that, him showing up a day after Reborn did? Mia couldn't shake off the feeling that the new transfer student here was Mafia related. Mafia, just the word had her palms sweating.

Her shoulder rose like the hackles of a cat when Gokudera kicked Tsuna's desk over. She jumped out of her seat while their classmates laughed and helped Tsuna fix his desk. She didn't spare a single glance at the new kid, that eyed her critically.

When she went back to her desk, Gokudera took his right behind hers. Mia felt that she could do without having a hostile seating right behind her who could possibly be a Mafioso.

While the rest of the girls were fangirling over him during class, she grew more and more agitated while Tsuna fretted in his seat. Gokudera alternated with glaring daggers at Tsuna and her. She had just about had it when she was called to stand up during English where her teacher had her converse with him in English to show the class. She wasn't like Tsuna, who had the patience of a saint, and promptly snapped back at her teacher.

He always called on her during class, just to show off how good his English was when his pronunciation was like nails on chalkboard. She been way too polite before to say anything, not wanting to attract attention but with a antagonistic transfer student glaring at her and her best friend all morning, Reborn and the whole Mafia thing that she hasn't swallowed yet, her patience snapped.

She slipped easily enough to her American accent – talking with her father's co-workers we're a blessing – and waited for her teacher to begin first. Needless to say, it ended with her having to meet with the teacher after school for a brief talk on how it was wrong for her to lecture her teacher on his job. It was so totally worth it, she would say later on after Tsuna saved Gokudera.

After the racket of explosions, Mia quickly went to find the two boys and only managed to catch the part of Gokudera vowing his undying loyalty. Tsuna looked hilariously uncomfortable at the predicament he was in, especially since he was just in his underwear. Mia had a feeling it would come to this and brought him one of his jackets before they went to school. She cautiously approached the boys.

"Does this mean that we're good?" she announced loudly.

Gokudera jumped and quickly pulled out – were those real? – dynamite, and then lowered it when Tsuna gratefully took his jacket from her. Mia wearily eyed the bomber and he stared right back.

Gokudera faintly remembered that her name was Mia and that she was from Italy as well.

"She's clean, I checked," Reborn added, choosing to make his presence known by plopping on top of Tsuna's head. The young teen staggered at the sudden weight but managed to regain his balance.

"Why am I not surprised?" she groaned. "I figured you'd do something like that. Couldn't just let anyone around the Vongola Decimo," she sing-sang mockingly. Tsuna swiped at her.

"Don't call me that," he growled. Gokudera watched as his boss go from well… a weak-somewhat-strong individual to a carefree teasing teen in a matter of seconds. Judging from their interaction, they were close. He lowed his bombs.

Reborn on the other hand looked pleased by her guess, "It's good that you're not as naïve as Dame-Tsuna here."

"Hey!" Tsuna protested.

Mia was skeptical. "I'm glad that you're somewhat looking out for him."

He recalled the fire in her eyes when she stood up for the Boss earlier that day and how she schooled their teacher in their own class. She was just a civilian, but she had guts and he respected that. As he listened to boss ask her why she got held up for so long, she replied with a shrug that she had landed herself in cleaning duty for punishment.

She's a civilian but she was also the boss' girl. He approached them slowly.

"Gokudera Hayato," she greeted him wryly when he was close. "You're not going to blow me up right?" she asked.

"No!" Gokudera exclaimed, horrified that she had come to that conclusion.

Mia chuckled. "Good, I've been on a short fuse all day and I was really hoping today won't blow."

Tsuna groaned, used to her terrible puns but still laughed at it because his humor sucked. It took a moment for the bomber to get it and he wasn't sure if he should laugh or be awkward. Reborn just looked like the whole world just exists to entertain him.

"I - er..." He stammered, blushing.

She raised an eyebrow at his peculiar reaction and laughed. "What's wrong, never heard of bomb puns C4?"

This time the boss pushed her lightly, snorting. "Leave him alone already Mia."

"I'm sorry," she apologized to him, smiling. "Sometimes these things gets to me. Don't mind me."

"It's alright," Gokudera mumbled, not used to it at all.

"It's good that you're all getting along," Reborn said. "Now that Gokudera is part of your Family Tsuna, you should go bond over it."

"Bond?" Tsuna exchanged glances with Mia.

"So… anyone up for a movie?" She suggested, grinning.

The three of them were surprised to know that both Mia and Gokudera shared the same apartment complex, meaning they were automatic next-door neighbors. Later that night, after watching Kick-Ass, Tsuna left to go home after insisting that he didn't need to be escorted. Gokudera hunched his shoulders, dejected at having his offer refused. So far, the Tenth had refused any help from him. Drinks, popcorn or a comfy pillow...

"Reborn told me you wanted to be Tsuna's right-hand man," Mia said from the doorway. Gokudera jumped, he had forgotten that she was still there. He blushed in her presence, still embarrassed from before. From what he had seen so far, she was proving herself to be quite a match to the Tenth in both compassion and in kindness after she lowered her guard around him though he had to admit she had a strange sense of humor.

"Yes I do!" He saluted.

She smiled faintly. "Good, he'll need someone to watch his back when I'm not around."

Inside, Gokudera was elated at her approval but he couldn't bring himself to be happy about it when she sounded so sad. Catching up to his expression, Mia explained "I'm pretty sure its obvious I'm not a fighter Gokudera. There might come a time when Tsuna would need people to stand by his side and... he'll need someone like you. To him... I'll be just be a burden." She let out a small self-depreciating laugh.

Despite him thinking the same earlier, he couldn't help himself from saying loudly. "No you're not!" Mia leaned backwards at his sudden exclamation.

"Um… okay." She blinked.

"I meant that Tenth would never see you that way," Gokudera clarified. He felt confident at his words, despite having only known them for a day, he knew it was true. Mia stared at him and smiled. This time, it reached all the way to her eyes.

"You know Gokudera, it comforts me that we're neighbors," she admitted. "Ever since I found out about the Mafia, I was a bit worried. Having you around makes me feel safer when I sleep at night."

Gokudera couldn't help smiling back like an overenthusiastic puppy. "I would be honored to have you think of me such a way!" He bowed graciously before her.

"Stop that will you?" she hissed at him, embarrassed at the devoted-puppy look he was giving. "It makes me feel weird."

"Hai!" Mia sighed.

"Goodnight then Gokudera."

"Don't worry Matteis-sama, you have my word I will protect you and Tenth with my life!"

Mia closed the door and leaned against it. Hopefully Gokudera didn't really mean all that. That night, Gokudera was giddy with happiness. He had the boss' girl's support to be the Tenth's right-hand man!

Yamamoto, the Baseball Ace

Mia was watching Tsuna sympathetically from the sidelines. The boys were playing baseball and it looked like nobody wanted him on their team. If Gokudera was here, he would have been raising hell but he was absent to restock his dynamite supply. Yamamoto Takeshi, the baseball ace of their school had taken Tsuna, she saw. He had his arm slung over Tsuna's shoulders and Mia felt that if Yamamoto could be friends with him, it would have been nice.

Girls suddenly cheered from either side of her and she winced at the high pitches. Yamamoto waved at them while Tsuna grimaced. Mia laughed at his pitiful form and decided to cheer him up. She waved her arm, crying out, "Buona fortuna!" ("Good luck!")

Being the only one who could understand her, Tsuna managed a smile at least. Despite them losing the game and his teammates feeling the need to blame him, he didn't feel all that bothered as he did clean-up. He had sent Mia to go on to class without him but wasn't expecting to chat with Yamamoto Takeshi.

Had he known the impact his words would have had then, they probably wouldn't be in this situation now.

It was a rush of feet and panic that had sent half the student population to the roof. When Tsuna and Mia arrived, other students were pleading with Yamamoto to not jump. Then the baseball ace said something about the baseball god throwing him away and Mia was so done with that bullshit. As if there was a baseball god anyway!

"Tsuna, what should we do?" She turned around to find him cowering in a corner. "Tsuna?" She rushed to him and noticed that he had his fists curled angrily.

"This… this is all my fault." Tsuna had his head bowed deeply. "If I hadn't talked with Yamamoto… he wouldn't… wouldn't…"

"Then don't run away." Reborn cocked his gun at him. Mia hardly cared of the absurdity that happened around it anymore, Reborn comes as he pleases anywhere, anytime.

"Hiieeee! Time out! Time out!" Tsuna waved his arms frantically.

Feeling a rise of irritation, Mia yanked Tsuna to his feet and dragged him towards the crowd. "Mia?" Tsuna tried to take his arm back but her grip tightened.

She wasn't going to let her best friend blame himself for this nor let him make a mistake that he wouldn't be able to take back. She wouldn't, not like she did if she could help it. "You say it's your fault. If you really think that, you gonna leave it just like that? Do you really want to regret this Tsuna?" She elbowed people aside. Their angry outbursts following them yet Mia didn't even hint that she heard them. "Don't let Yamamoto do this, please."

Don't let him do it. Don't stand back and watch like she did. Don't do nothing.

He heard the plea in her voice, the desperation that cracked through her guarded walls. He looked into her eyes and saw a myriad of emotions flashing through them so fast he couldn't follow. She was right, he thought. He didn't want to regret this or see Yamamoto throw his life away for something so crazy. They broke through the crowd and Mia let go of his wrist.

"Yamamoto!" Tsuna called out.

The teen in question faced him, a bitter smile on his face. "If you're going to stop me, it's no use. You understand right?" Yamamoto looked at him hopefully.

A cold bitter stone dropped into his stomach. Tsuna understood. There were times where he just wanted it to end and be done with it. He remembered all those times where he thought that the world didn't need someone like him. After all, who was going to miss Dame-Tsuna? The years he spent trying then failing, the tears he cried because he was unwanted... it still hurt whenever he thought back on it. He was sure he would have been in the same place if he hadn't met Mia. He glanced briefly at her and saw her expression. Her blue eyes shone brightly and the hurt he felt ebbed away.

"Actually… no." He slowly looked back at Yamamoto. "I understand how you're feeling but I wouldn't want this... not anymore."

"Cut the crap!" Yamamoto yelled. "Just because you're a fine student now doesn't mean you get to be arrogant as opposed to me who has lost everything!"

"I only got that way because someone cared enough to give me a chance!" Tsuna yelled back. "I wouldn't have been able to be more than 'Dame-Tsuna' if it wasn't for my friend!" He marched straight up, the fence only serving as the wall between them.

Yamamoto regarded him with cold eyes. "Well good for you," he spat. "At least you have friends."

Tsuna realized that this was more than just baseball. Yamamoto was actually lonely. Still…

"Does your Dad mean anything to you?" He asked him quietly. A sad, painful scene from a movie he had watched together with Mia came to mind. He remembered that her eyes were shining then like it did now. "Do you have any idea what this will do to him?"

"Dad…?" Yamamoto slowly comprehended what he said, as if he had never thought about it before. That fueled Tsuna to egg on. "I… I never…"

"Yamamoto," he gently said. The teen met his eyes. "No parent would want to bury their own child before they die."

"Oh…" Yamamoto said in a whisper, his tone broken at the realization. "I didn't want to worry him."

"Then come on," Tsuna pleaded. "Don't stay there Yamamoto. I know things are worse now but trust me," he looked back at Mia. Yamamoto followed his gaze. "Things will get better."

Yamamoto nodded slowly. "Okay," he said. Then a bit more strongly, "Okay." Tsuna helped him clamber over the chain fence. The moment Yamamoto's feet touched the ground, the whole school suddenly crowded around them, voicing their thoughts and worries. Tsuna easily slipped away to head down to the halls, where he walked morosely back to the classroom. He didn't expect Mia to be waiting for him there. When she saw him, he automatically opened his arms just in time for her to jump into them.

"Sono davvero orgoglioso di voi," she said ("I'm so proud of you."). Tsuna didn't say anything and just buried his head in her hair.

Yamamoto Takeshi went to look for Tsuna, to thank him, when he walked in on the two just as they were hugging each other. He heard her say something in a different language. He couldn't understand it but he saw how Tsuna's tensed frame loosened in her hold. He stayed there, leaning against the wall until they parted. When he came out to greet them, he gave them his most genuine smile.

After that, Yamamoto joined their group to the displeasure of Gokudera. To Tsuna's exasperation, Yamamoto treated their situation like a game. Mia slapped him behind the head, hoping for the baseball ace to understand that this was real and it's serious. He just grinned at them and laughed it off.

Reborn nodded approvingly. Another family member acquired.

The Humorously-named Family's Cow

Mia wonders how much crazy they had to qualify for to be insane. First Gokudera, then Yamamoto and now a child in a cow print suit that threw grenades and snot while claiming to be a hitman to assassinate Reborn. They were having a study session at Tsuna's house – just the two of them – with Reborn overseeing their work when the kid broke down Tsuna's door with all of the intention of coming in like Rambo and killing everyone and anything.

It turns out the cow was from the Bovino Famiglia and that his name was Lambo. Unfortunately for him, Reborn treated him like trash, not even bothering to acknowledge his existence. He cried and threw a tantrum like any five year old would. That is, bring out an active grenade from within his afro. Reborn made quick work, throwing out the kid and the grenade out the window. After the grenade exploded, they heard Lambo cry. Both of them pitied Lambo and went out to calm the kid before he decided to take out more bombs.

A few days later, Lambo was happily staying with Tsuna – how that arrangement worked, Mia didn't bother to ask – and came to school one day to challenge Reborn. Gokudera and Yamamoto we're arguing who was to be the right man, when Lambo popped up. Before he could do anything, Reborn already had knocked him flat on his ass and crying.

"That's child abuse right there," Mia pointed out.

"You're going to do anything about it?" Reborn challenged her.

"Not at the moment, no."

Then Lambo pulled out – that is some messed up shit right there – a purple bazooka from his afro and shot himself with it. A huge plum of purple gas filled the area that had them all coughing.

"What the hell?" Gokudera exclaimed. The smoke cleared and where Lambo was, a teenager around their age stood. Mia could already tell, from looks alone, that he was a heart breaker. Then Reborn explained that what just happened was the Ten-Year Bazooka and the effect of it. How it switches the user with himself ten years into the future.

"I know I've seen a lot of things happen that I still have trouble believing but this is just some straight-up bullshit," Mia said, dumbfounded.

Reborn smacked her behind the head. "A lady does not swear," he said. Mia glared at him.

"Yare, yare, my past self sure does cause a lot of trouble," Lambo spoke up.

"Um…" Tsuna was as dumbfounded as Mia was.

"He sure as hell did!" Gokudera snapped at the teen. "You're a pain in the ass you know that?"

"Maa, maa Gokudera. Cut him some slack – he hadn't even done anything yet!" Yamamoto laughed.

What happened next was completely unbelievable. Lambo had attacked Reborn with a skill that literally called lighting down. Mia thought he was going to get it then proved why he was the strongest hitman in the world. He beat Lambo easily and sent the teen running, tail between his legs and sobbing grossly in defeat. Well, Mia thought when future Lambor reverted back to present Lambo, that anything can happen no matter how stupid or absurd it is.

Poison Scorpion

Mia was severely pissed. She didn't care if it was Gokudera's sister and a hitman – she'll rip out that entire woman's pretty hair. No one, no one ruins her homemade lunch. She put effort in that! She was grinding her teeth throughout class after lunch. Tsuna kept shooting her worried looks but she ignored all of it. During break, she dragged Gokudera outside with Tsuna and Yamamoto following her, curious at what she was going to do.

"Ah… Mia?" Tsuna hesitantly called out.

She whirled around with an expression of an angry tiger that had Gokudera take a few steps back. "Matteis-sama?" He said, startled at the face of her tenancy.

"Call me Mia Gokudera – I'm not some high ranking person like Tsuna is," she snapped at him. Poor Gokudera, who couldn't retort that she is someone important, merely gaped at her. Similar expressions were mirrored on Tsuna and Yamamoto just laughed.

"Mia-chan sure is something? Ne Tsuna?" He nudged the brunette.

"Now," she poked Gokudera on the chest. "Tell me how to find your sister."

"What?!" Tsuna and Gokudera exclaimed at the same time. She crossed her arms and arched an eyebrow.

"I want to find your sister." She repeated.

"No, nee-chan would kill you for sure!" Gokudera stared at her the same time Tsuna angrily said, "Are you being stupid?"

She pinned him with a glare that the one who was obviously being stupid here was him and it infuriated Tsuna. Mia had never been brash but now she decided it was a good idea when a hitman was after him? He bristled at her. Before he could express why she was being stupid, Mia raised a finger.

"Bianchi can't kill me," she declared confidently. They stared.

"And uh… how do you suppose that is?" Gokudera asked, perplexed by her logic.

"Because I'm Tsuna's friend, who happens to be the future boss of the Vongola Family; now if she kills me, Tsuna would inevitably hate the mafia and would never become the boss which in Reborn's case will put him in a very difficult position and so, Reborn would not let me die." She stared at them, daring for them to challenge her claim.

There was a clap and they all swirled around to see Reborn clapping his hands together.

"Nicely put Mia. You're right – it would be hard to convince Dame-Tsuna if you get killed." he praised her.

"What the hell Mia!?" Tsuna glowered at her. She frowned, slightly hurt.

"So you don't care at all?"

"What?!" Tsuna gaped at her. "I do care that's why this is so stupid!" He childishly stomped on the ground.

She smiled, relived. "Trust me Tsuna, I'm always right."

He deflated because he knew she was right… again. God he was starting to hate that. Also, he hated it how all she had to do was freaking smile and he'd go out like a candle. Defeated, he sulked towards Yamamoto who patted him comfortingly at the back.

"So Gokudera, how can I lure that vixen out?" Gokudera looked at loss at what to say to her.

"Actually, you can't do anything about it either Mia," Reborn spoke up.

Mia rounded on him. Reborn continued, "While it's certainly true that I won't let you die, you could suffer some long-term effects or trauma like Gokudera did."

"Yes!" Tsuna cheered. Glad that someone would convince her that it was a bad idea.

"Oh come on!" she stressed.

Reborn gave her a look. "And then what? Challenge her to a duel?"

Mia looked stricken for a moment, like she hadn't actually thought it out so well as she think she did. "Um…"

"If you can't plan that far ahead then Tsuna was right too, you are stupid."

Tsuna didn't know what to feel – Reborn just said he was right but he called Mia stupid as well, which she really wasn't because she was Mia. In the end it was the right thing for her, he thought woefully. He hoped she would forgive him.

Mia flushed at the rebuke. "Well I'm sorry, I'll just remember to plan twenty steps ahead with four back-up plans next time!" she hotly said.

"Why are you so bothered with Bianchi?" Reborn questioned her. "It's just a homemade lunch."

Mia bit her lip and crossed her arms. Choosing to stare at her feet. Knowing that she had lost the argument, she turned on her heel and marched right back to class. People parted away for her like the red sea while she fumed past them. Reborn sighed and pulled down his fedora.

Gokudera could not believe the pure nerve of Mia Matteis. Sure, his first impression of her was that she was snarky little thing but then he learned that Mia turned out to be someone who was the Tenth's best friend. She definitely deserved that title although he secretly wondered why the two weren't dating. Maybe they hadn't realized their feelings for each other; he concluded which put both him and the baseball freak into the same conclusion. They both decided separately on their own to let things go their natural course.

Gokudera just worried that Mia might not live too long because she was currently arguing with his sister. After collapsing on the floor when he entered the Sawada household and saw Bianchi, the familiar churn of foam rose up to his mouth and he had been there ever since. The tenth was trying to pacify Mia – who forcefully blackmailed Gokudera into addressing her that or else be hated – into backing off before Bianchi decided to melt her face off with her poison cooking.

Bianchi huffed and arrogantly whipped her hair. "Don't be mad because you're cooking lost to mine," she said.

"Lost? You can poison anything just from touching them!" Mia glared at Bianchi.

Yamamoto wisely stayed back and decided to help Gokudera up. He usually stops people from fighting but Mia was livid and he did not want to be in the middle of that cat fight. God bless Tsuna for trying even though he was failing. Both ignored him.

"You lack love little girl." She then gushed at how her love for Reborn made her strong.

"Love?" Mia repeated, outraged. "You don't even understand what it is!"

Bianchi narrowed her eyes dangerously. Mia didn't falter from her stance; her blue eyes glinted like steel. Neither backed down as the air between them sparked.

"You claim you know what love is?" Bianchi stepped closer to her and stared her down, trying to intimidate her.

Mia copied her action likewise until they were just centimeters from each other and looked up to meet to the woman right in the eyes. Her blue eyes conveyed so much emotion that it surprised Bianchi for a second before she schooled her features into a calmer, cautious one. When Mia spoke, her voice was thick.

"My mother taught me how to cook. I cook because it reminded me of home."

Tsuna had gone quiet, staring at Mia in shock. Bianchi felt her cold hitman mask crumble at the girl's spirit. Suddenly, the girl before her looked like a sad child, with wide blue eyes that could swallow the hardest of hearts.

"You ruined the lunch I made and it was a waste," Mia spat bitterly. "I know it's stupid to get angry at something like this but I was really excited to... share my Pa's potato wedges." She trailed off.

"Wait, your Dad came home?" Tsuna asked.

For the first time since the argument started, Mia actually took notice of him. She nodded miserably. "Yeah," she mumbled. "He made those for dinner – it's the only thing he can make actually. But he had to leave again for Okinawa this time."

Bianchi sighed, quite regretful of her actions. Mia may not understand that love for someone special, but she did understand what familial love is. Her heart was in the right place and Bianchi couldn't fault her for that. A surge of affection rose and she suddenly pulled the younger girl against her bosom, almost smothering, to the shock of everyone around them.

"Cosa in Gandalf's shaggy vesti?" Mia exclaimed, just as shocked as the rest of them ("What in the name of Gandalf's shaggy robes?").

"Mi dispiace, è stato un errore, mi hanno fatto che," Bianchi replied in kind ("I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that."). Her tone was softer and warmer, to Mia's confusion when she looked up. She opened her mouth to say something but decided on something else instead.

"Does this mean you won't try to kill Tsuna?"

Bianchi actually laughed. Gokudera had managed to stay conscious and translate for the benefit of the idiot, but was limp against Yamamoto's side. He made a strange sound – a cross between a grunt and being strangled groan – in response to Bianchi's laugh. Bianchi fondly brushed a stray blonde lock behind Mia's ear. She sighed, a bit regretful.

"Se questo ti rende felice," Bianchi said ("If it makes you happy.."). Mia hugged her tightly back, absolute joy in her expression.

After that, Bianchi had stayed at the Sawada household, adding another strange person to Tsuna's life. But he couldn't really hate her, despite her attempts to poison him. Bianchi said she would stay for Reborn although both he and Tsuna knew that she had grown to like Mia as well. Tsuna was immensely grateful because he didn't need to be afraid of his own meals and also because Bianchi had taken it to herself to be an older-sister figure to Mia.

Gokudera seemed in league with Tsuna's thoughts, as he was staring with awe at Mia. She was animatedly chatting with his sister – who wore goggles under Reborn's request – teaching the younger girl of the many poisons that she could utilize. She was certainly something to marvel at. Beside him, Yamamoto (to Gokudera's undying irk) laughed and played with Lambo.

Nana was merely happy at the sight of so many people having dinner at their home. Reborn watched over Tsuna's ever growing family and had to admit the charisma that the boy had. With certain training, he'll grow to be very influential. Mia, on the other hand, had her own brand of charisma. She was a passionate little thing. He hadn't expected her to win Bianchi over but it just proved all the more that she would be a great match.

He stole a piece of food from Tsuna, planning on when the boy's real training would begin. He had progressed well in his Japanese subjects, despite being blown up for getting the wrong answer every now and then. But with everything else left to Mia, Reborn could advance on teaching the both of them social etiquette and Mafia history. Before that though, Tsuna would need to meet a few more people. Reborn needed a daily dose of entertainment after all.

Slap in the Name of Justice! (and kawaii babies)

The next day, a girl referring to herself in third-person showed up who slapped Tsuna for no reason. She claimed that Tsuna was corrupting innocent babies and that scum like him should go drown and die. She didn't get off for insulting him because Mia began to swear at her in rapid-fire Italian before any of the others could do anything.

Needless to say, the strange girl branded Mia a 'Yankee' and ran away with a promise to save Reborn from the clutches of an evil teenager.

Mia slowly turned to Reborn, staring at him accusingly. He merely smirked in reply.

Translation:

Buona fortuna! - Good luck!

Sono davvero orgoglioso di voi - I'm so proud of you.

Cosa in Gandalf's shaggy vesti? - What in Gandalf's shaggy robes?

Mi dispiace, è stato un errore, mi hanno fatto che - I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that.

Se questo ti rende felice - If it makes you happy.

Author's Notes:

In the manga, Yamamoto really was planning on taking his life by jumping off the roof. I wish they kept that in the anime but I understand the need for censorship. Give it a read anime viewers when you can, it gave me a lot of appreciation for our resident baseball nut.
