End notes

I stared blankly at the stranger for a few seconds before awkwardly returning the greeting, "…Oh… Um…. Ciaossu!" Oh, crap. Wrong greeting. "Ah! I-I mean… um… O-ohayo…" I stutter out embarrassingly.

When I was really little I used to greet everyone with 'ciaossu'. I don't really remember when or how I came up with it (probably heard it somewhere), but everyone's reaction to it was so funny I made it my personal greeting. I don't say it that much now but every now and then it just slips out.

The stranger just raised a brow at me before chuckled a little and tilting his black fedora downwards, shading his eyes. Is… is that a lizard!? Why is there a little lizard sitting on the brim of his fedora? More importantly who this diamine is this guy? Now that I fully take in his appearance, this guy looks really weird.

He's dressed in a black suit with a yellow shirt and black tie (the band on his fedora is orange). By his feet is this heavy looking silver briefcase, but he doesn't really look like he's a sales man. I lift my eyes to his face, wow; he's got the purest black eyes I've ever seen! They're really pretty. And his sideburns… are all curly… I want to touch them…

"No you may not touch them." He says with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"Holy shit! How did he do that!?"

"You read minds!?" So cool! So freaking cool!

"Cielo! Who's there?" Katerina calls from the kitchen. Oh right, strange man at the door…

"Some weird guy in black suit, with a lizard and a silver briefcase!" I shout back to her.

"Oi."

"One of these days you're gonna get yourself killed for saying things like that…"

I tilt my head up to Aigís questioningly, "Huh? Why?"

"What are you talking about? If it's a sales person, tell them we're not interested." Katerina sounds pretty irritated, was she expecting someone or something?

"Is what she said." I turn back to the stranger, "Are you a sales person?" I don't think so though…

"I am Reborn, the home tutor." He replies nonchalantly.

"…" I stare blankly at him. "You don't look anything like a home tutor though." More like some kind of CIA agent or 'James Bond' type spy or something… only he looks Italian…

He just chuckles a little. "I assure you, Sawada Cielo, I am the best in the business."

Merda! How does he know my name!? Wait! Wasn't the name 'Reborn' on that phony flier? Then… maybe he's actually telling the truth…? At least, that he's the home tutor the flier mentioned anyway… I guess I have no choice but to get Katerina to make sure… Yeah, I'll do that…

"Umm… okay then… Uh… my aunt is in the kitchen… this way…" Also, the tingly feeling in my get tells me that not letting him in would result in a lot of pain later on… This guy, Reborn, has a really scary aura. I really don't want to piss him off… With a smirk he picks up his briefcase and follows me inside. "Katerina. The, uh, home tutor's here…"

"Chaos."

"Reborn!" Katerina screeched, dropping a plate on the floor with a loud crash. What the..? "What's all this about a 'home tutor'!? WHO SENT YOU!?"

That 'Reborn' guy just smirked at her. This only pissed her off even more and she looked like she was about to explode. Not wanting to get caught in the cross fire, I ran up to my room grabbed my bag and made a speedy getaway. I could still hear her shrieking from down the street... Okay… maybe that was a bad idea after all…

Seriously what was up with that guy, how does Katerina know him? And there was something weird about him… I had this very strange feeling when I was near him. Kinda like… nostalgia… It might be the strong aroma of coffee that stuck to his him.

That scent was similar to Padre's scent…

Despite all that fuss I still ended up at school about an hour earlier than normal. There was a large group of guys by the front entrance; I spotted Kai's distinctive red and black hair amongst them. Looks like he's dealing out some 'punishment' to a group of hoodlums, probably ex-disciplinary committee members.

Apparently this school once had a very brutal and ruthless disciplinary committee chairman. He had practically run the whole school and kept all the delinquents in Namimori in line. Several years after he graduated the disciplinary committee was taken over by a group of thugs who used their status as committee members to basically do as they pleased.

On Kai's first day they picked a fight with him for some stupid reason and he annihilated the lot of them. After that the student council president used the opportunity to sack the whole committee and replace it with entirely new members. Since Kai had pretty much defeated every delinquent in the school he was asked to become the chairman.

But he's too shy for that kind of thing, besides he hates being tied down to any one group. He just does his own thing while everyone tries not to get in his way. I think the only reason they let him be was because he's enforcing the school rules (that and he'll bite anyone who gets in his way to death).

I walk up to him, stepping over a few bodies. "Kai, Ciaossu!" Oh. Wrong greeting again. Wow, that's twice in one day. Oh well.

"Little Kai-chi's really gone all out this morning." Aigís comments as he investigates a few of the many bodies lying around. True, there are quite a lot of them today.

"Small animal." He nods at me as he sends the last one flying with his steel whip. "…Early…"

"…Weird man… Katerina… fight… escaped…" We tend to skip a lot of words when we talk to one another.

"…Man…?" He questions as I put on my clean indoor shoes on (guess I got here earlier than the bullies today).

"Home tutor… Don't think he is though…" I yawn and rub my eye; warm days like this make me sleepy.

"Hn." Kai just grunted and stalks off to do his morning rounds with me trailing after him.

As we wander the hallways I think back over that strange tutor guy. He can't possibly be here for Masamune so he must be here to tutor me. I don't want a tutor; I've always just asked Kai or Sawa-chan to help me with studying. Oh, wait. Katerina wasn't all that pleased with him showing up so maybe… maybe she'll send him away!

"Hibari Kai, what a coincidence seeing you here this fine morning." A smug male voice snaps me out of my reverie. Peaking over Kai's shoulder I spot the Student Council President, Tanaka Mikami. Merda! What's he doing here? "I was hoping you would reconsider not taking the position of Disciplinary Committee Chairman."

"Geez, is he still going on about that?" I know right. Hounding him like this is only going to piss him off even more. Besides Kai can be really difficult when he wants to be.

He just glares at him before stalking off again, without bothering to answer him. Not wanting to be left alone with the sadistic President I race after him. I don't like that guy, he's so freaking scary.

In terms of social status, he's probably as popular as or even more so than Masamune. The two of them don't really get along (actually they despise each other with passion) and usually avoid one another. But in front of everyone else, they appear to be really good friends. I think they have some kind of truce so as not to ruin their images or something.

It all sounds pretty stupid to me… I'll never understand how popular people think.

Well. Today really sucked.

I didn't understand anything on the English test. I got beat up and my money was stolen at lunch so I had to go without. In sport we played basketball, which unlike Masamune I fail miserably at. I caught the ball that came flying at my face (purely on instinct) and when they all came running towards me, I panicked and just threw it up in the air.

By some miracle it ended up in the basket. It was the first time I've ever scored.

Too bad it was in my own team's goal…

Now I've been left to clean up the whole damn gym by myself, since it was "dame Sora's fault we lost". Yeah, their complete lack of skills had absolutely nothing to do with it… it's all because I'm a clumsy idiot that sucks at sports.

The only reason a 'dame' person like me even come to school is because of my best friend, Hibari Kai. I smile wryly as I think of the day we first met. He was practically trying to kill me then… I often wonder how it is we went from that to the being best of friends. But If I hadn't met him, I would have probably just given up on everything.

With a sigh I look around the gym at all the equipment still lying around. Seriously though, how do they expect me clean all this up by myself? Screw it, I'm going home. I don't care if there's still classes left or if I get in trouble tomorrow.

Hopefully Katerina sorted out the thing with the 'home tutor' guy. He's seems really cool and all but, frankly, he scares the shit out of me. I have this really bad feeling about him too… I don't want to see him again… Supressing a shudder I give my head a shake to get rid of the bad thoughts.

I stretch my arms above my head; it's really nice weather today. I want to play my guitar. I make the shape of chords with my hand as I walk. Guitar has to be the one thing I'm actually good at; I practice every day for hours on end. Sometimes I go over to Kai's place and we jam together. Kai is a bass prodigy, if he didn't have stage fright he could totally go pro.

High pitched barking yanked me from my daydreaming and I spin around. Oh merda! That damn Chihuahua has gotten loose from its owner again! It growls and eyes me dangerously. "N-nice doggy…" I stutter and take a step back. As soon as I do it charges at me barking wildly.

"Run for your life!"

"HIIIEEEE!" I scream as I pelt down the street with this devil hound snapping at my heels. I don't know which is worse, Masamune's punch or this dog's bite... Its bite is definitely worse than its bark… and that's saying something given how loud and fierce it can sound.

"C-captain! Emergency countermeasures!" I shout breathlessly.

"Deploying!" Aigís sends several random objects flying into the dog's path.

It yelps as it crashes into a garbage bin. I stop and turn around panting heavily. "Di-did we get him?"

"… It's not moving so…" Yes! Victory!

Or so I thought…

It crawls out from under the trash snarling furiously at me. Merda, I think we just pissed it off even more! Before I can move it lunges forward and sinks its fangs into my foot. "HIIIIIEEEEEE! GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!" I scream and flail around desperately.

"Wai— if you would jus— h-hold still dammit!"

"IMPOSSIBLE!" I cry. Oh Dio all mighty! The pain! As I thrash around wildly trying to fling this thing off me, I accidently step on a loose glass bottle and end up flying backwards and landing painfully on my arse. "Owowow…"

Huh? My foot doesn't hurt anymore… Oh. The dog's gone… ARGH! My freaking shoe is gone! The damn laces must come loose again (laces just hate me and refuse to tie up properly for me). Ugh! Where the diamine is it!?

"…Umm… I found it, but…" Looking up I spot the dog a little ways off, getting up off the ground with my shoe dangling in its jaws… Oh, merda…

Catching my eye, it gives itself a shake and then takes off down the street. Son of a— that little bastardo just stole my effing shoe! "Oi, wait! GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE SALAUD!" I race after it limping slightly.

What the diamine is with this mutt!? How can it have so much damn stamina in such a dinky little body!? I've been chasing it around town for over an hour now (my sock is pretty much ruined)! I'm at my limit, I can't run much further. It's now or never!

"Your mine!" I dive forward hands outstretched reaching for the mutt. But he was quicker, and slipped between my fingers.

"Second attack!" Aigís manages to seize one of its legs and with a surprised yelp it tumbles over, dropping my shoe in the process.

Success!

I come skidding to a halt and push myself up on my elbows panting heavily. The dog whimpers before running away with its tail between its legs. Serves you right, little bastardo! With a grunt I stumble to my feet and wobble forward to claim my prize.

Just as I'm about to pick it up, this massive bird just swoops down and snatches it up and flies off, leaving me frozen on the spot.

"Well... that's not something you see every day…"

Ya think? Seriously, a freaking bird just stole the shoe I had run around the whole town trying to get back… A BIRD!

Super ultra-mega delicious wonderful crap…

Finally! Home sweet home! I could almost cry with joy as I stumble through the front gate, one shoe missing and covered in dirt from head to toe.

I tried to chase down the bird too but lost sight of it… Okay, seriously now, who the diamine gets their freaking shoe stolen by a bird!? A BIRD! I must be the only person in the whole damn world to have that happen to them… Either some sick cazzo has trained it just to mess with me or Dio is playing a really bad prank on me…

While I was looking for my shoe I managed to get lost too. Then I ran into a group of thugs. Luckily they hadn't noticed me since they were too busy getting pulverised by some other punk. At first I stupidly mistook him for Kai since he was wearing the Namimori middle school uniform and was taking on (and winning against) about twenty guys.

But then I noticed the silver hair and the fact it was the girls uniform. She didn't seem to be having any problem fighting them so I figure I shouldn't interfere. I hung around though, only because they outnumbered her and brutes like these tend to fight dirty. Besides, I was lost, and she might have seen where that damn bird went too.

She didn't need my help at all, and knocked out every single one of them in no time flat. Kai would be impressed; he respected strong people like her. She was starting to leave so I tried to get her attention, "Umm… excuse me, uh… m-miss?"

She spun around her emerald eyes wide and her guard immediately up. I guess she hadn't even noticed me until then, but I am the type of person that just blends into the background so… "Uh… you haven't seen some kind of hawk carrying a shoe by any chance have you?" I ask sheepishly.

She just gaped at me speechlessly before suddenly landing a drop kick to my gut, flashing her panties as she did so, and running away while I was sprawled out on the floor. Talk about rude!

Kicking an innocent bystander and running off without so much as a 'sorry'! And she could have at least had the decency to wear shorts underneath her skirt to spare the image of her strawberry print panties. I don't want to see your freaking underwear, ever!

Sigh, at least I'm finally home now. All I want to do is take a nice hot bath and just crawl into bed. Some sleep would be nice too, but I doubt I'll get any tonight either… It's been about three weeks since I've gotten any proper sleep. Oh, well.

Lazily I opened the door and slid inside silently. For the second time today the greeting I received caused me to do a double take. (The fact I received a greeting at all was strange enough as it is…)

"Chaos."

"That guy is still here!" Why!? I thought Katerina would have gotten rid of him by now! I stare dubiously at him, pretty much frozen on the spot.

He just smirked a little and tilted his head to the clock, "Dame Sora, you're quite late considering you left school early."

"Eeeeh!? Why do you know I'm 'dame Sora'? And how did you know I left early!?"

"I'm your home tutor after all. It's on natural I should know everything about my students." He replied smoothly. I just stood there gawking rather stupidly at him. "Hm?" He raised a brow at my shoeless foot. "What happened to your other shoe?"

"I thought you knew everything." I countered lightly, removing my one remaining shoe.

Although his expression remained blank, I caught a very feint glint of approval in his black irises. "Touché dame Sora." He chuckled as he made his way into the living room, motioning me to follow him.

I adjusted my eye patch a little and reluctantly walked up behind him. Masamune was already seated, impatiently tapping him finger on the armrest with a sulky look on his face. Katerina was nowhere in sight though… Maybe she went out?

Masamune glanced up at me and scoffed, "Why the hell are you covered in dirt, dame Sora?" He didn't bother holding back the spite in his voice, only because Katerina wasn't here and he clearly didn't give a damn about the presence of the home tutor guy.

"I chased around town by a dog and then my shoe was stolen by a hawk or eagle or something." I replied dully and sat down on the opposite side of the couch.

I rolled my eyes as Masamune fell into a fit of mocking laughter, instead, focusing my attention on the 'home tutor' sitting comfortably in the armchair opposite us drinking a coffee.

"Well! He certainly made himself right at home, hasn't he?" That he has… just who is this guy really?

Seemingly having had enough of Masamune's laughter, he reached for the little lizard on his fedora and it transformed into a giant mallet which he then proceeded to slam Masamune's head into the ground with. It all happened so fast I was too shocked to move.

"THE LIZARD BECAME A MALLET!" Is he a magician too!?

Reborn smirked and the mallet turned back into a lizard. "This is my partner Leon; he's a special shape-shifting chameleon."

Masamune groaned on the floor and clutched his throbbing head… I ignored the very small part of me that was just a tiny bit satisfied to see my brother being put in his place.

"Y-you…" he grunted getting back on his feet. "What the hell was that for! Just who the hell, do you think you are!?" He was red in the face and if looks could kill, well, there wouldn't be any weird home tutor in the room.

But Reborn just brushed him off, taking another sip of his coffee. "I am a home tutor and the world no.1 hitman, Reborn." D-did he just say hitman? "The two of you will be in my care for the next few years." Umm… He said 'hitman' right?

"What? Is there something wrong with your head? Dame Sora might, but I don't need a tutor!" Masamune sneered shooting me a disgusted look.

Hello! He said 'hitman' Masamune. Am I the only one who heard that?

There was a dull thud as he was once again flung to the ground. "Ha-ha! I like this guy!"

"I will only say this once; I am to tutor the both of you." He gave Masamune a pointed smirk. "My real job is to train the both of you into Mafioso. When your training is complete one of you will be chosen to be the next boss of the Vongola Family."

"…"

"…"

"WHAT!" We scream in unison.

Notes once more

Who can guess the identity of the silver haired girl? :3

*Someone told me that Fanfiction wouldn't let them review "The Omake Project". If any one else is having this problem can you let me know?*

Also, I drew another crappy picture, not of a character but of an idea I had to do with the Vongola rings.

"Pikapi! Pi Pikachu Pi!" Pikachu says "don't forget to leave a review" :3

Love NyanNyan-suru and Pikachu!
