Chapter 2

I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn! It belongs to Akira Amano.

I skipped along Kaa-chan happily, waving at people who waved back at me. Her hand was firmly holding my tiny one. I ignored the way it seemed to tighten whenever we went near a road. Kaa-chan was very overprotective. Unlike my old one.

Nope. Not going down that road.

"Do you want to get some ice cream, little sprout?" She asked me as I twirled in place.

"Sure!" I chirped.

We entered the shop and stood in line when something behind me caught my eye. It was a very fluffy head of brown hair. It was familiar, too.

Now, where have I seen that before?

Kaa-chan turned around and gasped. "Sawada-san!" She exclaimed as she saw a brunette with long hair.

What.

The brunett- Sawada Nana looked at us and beamed. "Komatsu-san!"

What.

She kneeled in front of me. "So this is Mei-chan?"

I nodded faintly, still in shock. She smiled even wider, making flowers bloom around her. She pulled Fluffy Head in front of her. "I hope you get along with Tsu-kun!"

Wha- I snapped out of my startled state. A smirk spread across my face.

Looks like this life is going to be interesting after all.

I stared at Tsunayoshi. He stared at me. Our mothers chattered in the background.

I sighed and grabbed his arm.

"Come on," I told him, "let's go to the park."

He squeaked in surprise and then hesitantly nodded. I strode forward confidently, knowing the way to the park perfectly.

I bit my lip sheepishly(and in slight panic) as I looked around.

Well, turns out I don't know the way to the park perfectly.

We both were lost in a marketplace that I had never seen in my life here before. I stiffened as a thought came to my head. Wasn't Tsuna supposed to be super wimpy at this age? What if he started crying?

Horrified, I turned around. Tsuna was standing there, looking- Amused?

He saw me looking at him and some of the amusement disappeared, replaced with nervousness. I narrowed my eyes at him- Was he making fun of me?

As if he knew what I was thinking, he waved his arms around. "Tsu-kun is not laughing. It's just- everything is fine. It is not d-dan-danges-"

"Dangerous," I corrected.

"-dangerous," he repeated obediently, "to be here."

How- Oh. Hyper Intuition.

He had it at the age of three?

Wow.

He shifted uncomfortably as I gaped at him. A determined look came over his face and he turned towards me.

"Tsu-kun is Tsu-kun. Who are you?"

It was not the best way to phrase a question, but I had to give him some credit. He was only three.

"I'm Mei. But you can call me Mei-chan!"

"Mei-chan?" He asked tentatively.

"Mei-chan," I confirmed.

"Herbivore."

What the- I whipped around to face a tiny Hibari Kyoya. A very tiny Hibari Kyoya. He was staring at Tsuna's hair.

He stalked forwards and Tsuna flinched back a bit. His outstretched hand patted the fluff that was Tsuna's hair.

"You are very fluffy." He told Tsuna seriously.

He turned to me and wrinkled his nose. "And your hair looks like it was drenched in ink."

I huffed and pointed at his face. "And you have a-a dooty face!"

I stuck my tongue out, satisfied. I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what it means but that offended look on his face is so worth it.

"Herbivores are stupid-" "Carnivores don't have manners-" "Herbivores crowd and graze like sheep-" "At least I don't have teeth like a freaking vampire-"

In the end, Tsuna had to drag me away from the self-proclaimed carnivore.

Tsuna somehow brought us to his house. He toddled in and put his shoes in a corner. I awkwardly stood outside and shuffled my feet.

He peeked out the door and twiddled his thumbs. "D-does Mei-chan want to come inside?" He asked hesitantly.

I smiled at him brightly and kicked off my shoes. I stubbed my toe on the first step and hopped inside, my eyes tearing up lightly. I quickly wiped my eyes and turned to Tsuna. "Do you know where the telephone is?"

He nodded and gently tugged on my sleeve to lead me to a hallway.

Tsuna suddenly turned a sharp corner and let go of my sleeve. I heard a loud screeching sound. I turned around to see Tsuna lugging a large stool behind him. He placed it beside a tall table and gestured for me to climb it.

I patted his head in thanks-Wow, it's so soft- and I got onto the stool with my stubby legs. I dialed Kaa-chan's number(which she made me memorize at least ten times) and waited for her to pick up.

There was a click and Kaa-chan's soft voice floated through the speaker. "Hello?"

"Kaa-chan, I'm at Tsu-kun's house!"

There was a pause. "What?"

"I'm at Tsu-kun's house!"

Kaa-chan sighed. "Okay, I'm coming over there with Nana-san. Don't do anything stupid!"

"No promises," I muttered before I hopped off the stool.

I turned to look at Tsuna and smirked. "So what do you want to do?"
