"Wah!" Lana screeched in complete astonishment of the sudden appearance of the figure. Grabbing the closest item she could reach, Lana dropped her items on the floor and took hold of the taser her dear big brother gifted her not too long ago that had been sitting inside her bag. Lana silently thanked her brother for gifting her a pink hello kitty taser. Placing a thumb against the switch, Lana's taser flickered sparks of electricity dangerously on the adorable yet vicious item.

Regretting not bringing her knife out with her, Vi adjusted her keys in her palm and slapped her other hand against the wall, hitting the light switch and lighting up the room, revealing the figure sitting on the living room table sipping at an espresso.

"Who are you?" Vi yelled as the figure was illuminated.

The figure lifted his head and tipped his hat so the duo could see his face. "Those were nice reflexes, but clearly not the reactions of civilians. Who I am isn't important. What I want to know is who you two are. Your conversation was very unusual as well as your actions just now. So that brings me to my point, who are you and why are you here?"

Upon sighting the talking baby in a suit, the duo froze.

Lana mumbled toward Vi, "I-isn't that…?"

"Reborn?" Vi whispered back, otherwise frozen in shock.

Terror enveloped Lana's eyes as she lowered the taser a bit, "What?!"

Vi suddenly swung her arm, hitting Lana in the side. "Dude! Do you know what this means?! I can't believe it! Holy shit! Oh my god!" Vi hissed, knocking Lana after every sentence.

"Could…ow…you…ow…stop?!" Unfortunately for Lana, Vi didn't relent her aim, "Ouch! Gah! P-pain…so much pain. AGH!"

Reborn smirked, "Ah, so you have heard of me."

"Shit, he heard us!" Vi clapped the hand that wasn't still tightly gripping the keys over her mouth.

"Paaaain." Lana whined, still hissing in pain from Vi's panicking hits and holding the taser tighter than usual. Once the pain subsided, Lana focused her direction over to the talking baby in a suit, "Maybe." Muttering the last bit in her mind. 'Just didn't think you were real.'

"Since you have heard of me, that just makes it easier. Now," Reborn pointed his gun towards the duo, "Tell me who you two are and your connection with the mafia." He paused, looking at Lana and making eye contact. "Lana Vega."

Lana flinched when hearing her full name. Unsure of whether to raise the taser, she glanced up to stare at the baby hitman directing his gaze to her, "How does he know my name?"

Vi dropped her jaw. "What devil's witchcraft is this? I knew he was good, but not this good."

The tiny figure atop the table smirked, "I have my ways. Now tell me."

Lana scrambled to come up with a quick explanation, but tried to make it as vague as possible. "Unfortunately, we're not really allowed to talk about it. We're under oath."

"Omerta huh?" Reborn guessed from Lana's words, "I already know that you two have de-aged somehow, and now I know that you're involved with the mafia. But you haven't changed back into your older selves, so it can't be the TYL bazooka. I only know of one person that can de-age people like this. Are you acting under his orders?"

The two looked at each other in confusion and worry, unsure if this somehow broke the rules that had been given to them, which would mean that they lost even before they started 'playing'.

Vi spoke up, thinking up a vague answer. "Well, I wouldn't say that we're acting under anyone's orders. Freely at least. Voluntarily, of our own will etcetera. But hypothetically if we were following anyone's orders, it would be the person who you're accusing of de-aging us, if we even are de-aged like you seem to think."

"In other words, this supposed person you're accusing doesn't coincide with our general situation." Lana summed up without any emphasis on the person mentioned by Reborn.

As an afterthought, Vi added, "So now we know that you know and you know we know."

Lana started to wonder what's up with this inception-like theme going on. Shaking her thoughts off Lana attempted to explain their situation without using any words that'd violate their rules, "You see, what we're trying to say is—"

"No, I understand…it is him then. Well, he must have some sort of plan, otherwise he wouldn't have sent you two here. Since you two are here, might as well help out. We're having a show of strength, of sorts, between factions of our family at the moment. There will be a battle tonight with Gokudera, who you may or may not know of, but we should have it under control. Instead, you can come to the one tomorrow, so I'll be expecting you there in the case that something happens."

Finishing his coffee, Reborn placed the cup down and strolled through the front door nonchalantly as they simply stared in confusion as to what just happened.

"…We should go place the groceries into the fridge." Lana spoke, breaking the silence.

Vi stared at the open door. "What the hell just happened."

"We just encountered a great discovery during our whole day of exploring." Lana grimaced after pointing out what took place a few minutes ago, while turning off the taser to place back in her bag. "Just when I finally used the taser, the opportunity was lost."

Putting a palm on her face, Vi sighed heavily. "I cannot deal with this right now. A baby pointed a gun at me. How am I supposed to deal with that? What are emotions. Who knows. Emotions are off." Her face went blank as she grabbed several bags in each hand and lugged them into the house.

"Reborn didn't even put the mug back into the kitchen." Lana carefully closed the door, locking it behind her, "In fact, Vi would've loudly yelled about Reborn not locking the door and being rude."

"Hey! Reborn didn't close the door when he left, did he? How rude!" came a voice from the kitchen.

"There she goes." Lana sighed upon cue on hearing Vi's voice from the living room.

Heading over to the strangely empty kitchen, Lana checked the clock set on the microwave, noticing that it was dinner time, "Vi! Did you see a black bow clip in one of the bags? I kinda need it so that I can start making the stir-fry."

Vi walked back into the kitchen holding a butcher knife. "Did I hear you say stir-fry?" On her head was the black bow clip.

"Why must you do this." Taking the clip and pulling back her bangs, Lana clipped them in place with the bow clip, "Do you want to chop the vegetables?"

"Yes." A glint in her eye, she headed to the sink to rinse off her knife.

"Just don't hit your hand, and don't aim at me either." Lana turned over to the stove after warning Vi, "Could you hand me the wok?"

Opening cabinets at random, Vi eventually found the wok behind a large soup pot. "Here ya go, bud."

Taking out a cutting board and setting her knife on it, Vi headed to their fridge and inspected the inside. "Fancy," she whistled, impressed. "So what do you need me to chop, Head Chef Lana?"

"Mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, and zucchini." Lana replied while gathering the ingredients for the sauce base, "Oyster sauce, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Hey, Vi take the garlic too!"

Taking each item out as Lana listed them off, Vi miscalculated the amount of food and grabbed too much for them to finish that night for dinner.

Lana didn't notice any of this as she was busy mixing the sauce base for the stir-fry. Taking a tasting plate from one of the drawers of the kitchen, she placed a small spoonful onto the plate to taste the flavor. "Hm, maybe it needs more lemon juice and salt." Shaking a bit more salt and squeezing some more lemon juice, Lana retried the sauce again using the tasting plate. "Mm, now this is a flavorful dish!"

Vi concentrated on the vegetables as she prepared to play with her new shiny knife. After the vegetables were rinsed, she stuck her tongue out estimating how thinly they should be chopped. She had switched her butcher knife to a more suitable blade for vegetables. "Hmm, the knife seems a bit bigger than usual. Maybe just cause my hands are smaller, I guess." She started to chop the vegetables, getting into a rhythm. Chopping and putting it in a bowl. Repetitively. She didn't notice the sheer amount of food she had gone through until it was all gone.

Somewhat sheepishly, Vi yelled out, "Uhh, hey Lana! How much did we need?"

"One cabbage, six sliced mushrooms, one zucchini cut in fourths, and five broccolis chopped into small chunks." Lana yelled back to the girl assisting her with the vegetables as she busied herself on heating the wok.

"Well. We're going to eat stir-fry for days." Vi deadpanned upon viewing how much she had chopped up.

Lana turned around at Vi's words and was going to question her until she saw the amount of vegetables sitting on multiple plates beside the cutting board, "I can't believe you."

Banning Vi to a corner, Lana put the finishing touches on the stir-fry.

Sitting on the ground next to the fridge, Vi pouted, upset with herself for getting too much food, and asked Lana, "Do you need anything else?"

Lana tried to think of something Vi wouldn't be able to mess up, "How about you set up plates for the karaage and sashimi in the fridge?"

Vi got up and raised a fist in the air, ready to prove herself. "I humbly accept this mission, Captain Lana!"

Shaking her head, Lana muttered in confusion of her newfound titles, "How did I get from head chef to captain?" Deciding the dish was done, she turned the stove off. "The stir-fry is ready!" Lana announced while placing the stir-fry on a serving platter. Though Lana silently realized that she was only cooking for two people and not her family. "Oh." She could silently feel a well of sadness pool within her, but now wasn't the time to be thinking about her brother and parents. Taking a deep breath, Lana simply reminded that she should focus on serving the food she just made for Vi and herself.

After taking out the karaage and sashimi, Vi took out a couple of plates and utensils for the two of them. She also removed the small packet of soy sauce from the sushi box and put it into two separate sauce dishes. She left the wasabi and ginger in the box, grabbing a small bit of each for herself.

They split the karaage and sashimi evenly among them and grabbed a large portion of the stir-fry in an attempt to make as much of a dent as possible so they could finish it faster.

Grabbing her food, Vi poured some soy sauce into a separate small plate with a bit of wasabi, mixed it up, then dipped a slice of sashimi into the sauce. "Mmmm, it burns so good."

"Sashimi on its own tastes just as good." Lana dipped some sashimi into the sauce premade by Vi to try some, "The wasabi and ginger are good to try once in awhile."

As Lana was going to try the wasabi she turned to hear soft shuffling of steps in the hallway. Seeing Lana's turned head, Vi also turned to see what she was looking at.

Tsunomichi slowly wandered into the kitchen, as if lured out by the smell of food.

"What are you an animal?" Vi snickered and went to the fridge in search of a drink. "Wao, so much calpis! Lana! You want a drink?"

"I want you to stop tormenting the man." Lana rolled her eyes, despite having some anger welled up for Tsunomichi herself. "Grab me a water bottle."

Handing Lana her drink, Vi looked at the overflowing amount of stir-fry on the counter. "Ya know, I don't think we have enough food for you. This seems like a two person meal."

Tsunomichi's expression saddened at the thought of no food for him.

"Yes, if your portions are for some bear," Lana deadpanned remembering the sight of the amount of vegetables Vi cut, "We made so much food already, so it shouldn't hurt to share some with Tsunomichi."

Vi sighed and relented, "I suppose some would say that starving an animal is inhumane." She took a sip from her strawberry calpis.

Lana grabbed her plate and water, she told the girl. "Vi, go to the dining room."

"Nah, I'll go to the living room. Maybe watch some tv," Vi left the kitchen, balancing her plate of food, the soy sauce plate, and her calpis.

"Put on food network if they have it!" Lana suggested after Vi left the kitchen.

"We might need subtitles though!" she yelled back from the living room.

Before leaving the kitchen, Lana washed the plates in the sink then placed them into the dishwasher. However as Lana was going to leave, she sent a blank look to Tsunomichi. In truth, Lana still felt irked about the first abrupt transportation along with the room incident. However Lana gestured to the food, offering their leftovers to the sad caretaker. Finally, Lana left the kitchen to see what Vi was doing in the living room not wanting to see the caretaker's reaction toward the food left for him.

When they walked into the living room, they spotted a landline they did not notice before on a side table had a flashing light signifying a voice mail. The principal had called to confirm their enrollment to Namimori Middle starting tomorrow, since the uniforms should have arrived by tonight. They should arrive early to make preparations for their classes and familiarize themselves with the school.

"School starts at eight in the morning so I guess we have to leave around seven?" Lana took note of the times mentioned from the principal's call.

"Seems about right," Vi replied, already adding alarms on her phone. "6 A.M. disgusts me. I am not a morning person."

"We have no choice Vi," Lana drank some water to clear her throat before continuing. "We need to follow what's been given to us otherwise we're goners."

Vi paused, hand midair holding a bite of stir-fry. "So like. Are we going to talk about the elephant in the room? Or I suppose in this case, the hitman in the room."

"Do we really need to bring that up right now?" Lana cringed, remembering what occurred not too long ago. "I just can't believe he's real or rather this whole area in general is real."

"I can't believe we have flames!" Vi yelled, waving her right hand, showing off her rings in Lana's face. "I have mist flames? I can't believe!"

Lana slapped Vi's hand away from her face, "Yeah, I know because I also have flames too." She raised her right hand to show the two rings. "But please stop shoving your rings close to my face. My personal space bubble has been broken too many times today."

"Hm, Lana," Vi's tone became more serious. "How are you taking this all? You haven't seem freaked out very much."

"Reborn said my name." Lana spoke in a calm manner taking a sip of water while sending Vi a blank face, "Of course I'm freaking out."

"Ah yes, I can tell from your tone and facial expression that you are absolutely traumatized." Vi drawled sarcastically. "But seriously this is completely batshit wild. How are we in the KHR world?"

"More like, what do you last remember of KHR in the first place?" Lana inquired Vi out of curiosity.

Vi put a hand on her chin thoughtfully. "Well, Reborn said that there was a fight tonight. I think he said it was Gokudera's? The only thing that I can think that matches that is the ring battles with the Varia right?" Snapping her fingers in realization, she grabbed another mouthful of stir-fry, shoving it in her mouth.

Lana capped her water bottle to add on, "So does that mean we're in the Varia arc?"

"Oh no," Vi suddenly cried out. "That means the bf is in prison! But the gf is gonna show up soon! Conflicting emotions!"

"Actually, Vi." Lana frowned a bit, unsure of how to feel about what she was going to mention. "I don't think I remember much of what happened in the Varia arc. I mean it's been so long since we've read and watched the major storyline of Katekyo Hitman Reborn."

"Well like the Vongola wins at the end, so that's not really much of a problem. I remember the gf wins her battle against an arcobaleno with the help of the bf." Vi recalled, finishing her stir-fry. "And I think I remember the order the battles were in. Sun, lightning, storm, rain, mist, cloud, and finally sky."

"I see." Lana nodded as she listened to Vi's memories of the arc, "All I recall was how they first met all of the members of the Varia and the protagonist finding out about his dad being an external advisor to the Vongola Family. The rest of the arc is where I draw a blank."

Vi grinned cheekily. "I notice that you didn't mentioned anything about your bf. Poor guy, how could you hurt. Oh. Hm. What was his name again?"

"Oh." Lana blushed, causing her to glance elsewhere. She found it mildly embarrassing on recalling who she crushed on in KHR, but she could remember the name as clear as day. "It was-"

Suddenly the name she was going to say became blank, confused Lana tried to sound out the name. "Ah?" Puzzled by what she muttered, Lana told Vi. "Wait a sec, it'll come back to me soon."

Tilting her head, Lana hummed until the name returned to her mind abruptly. "Oh now I remember!" She clapped her hands in glee of remembering, but the way Lana worded it sounded a bit odd. "Tsu-na?"

Vi barked out a laugh. "Oh my god, Tsuna! The tuna fish, the no good boy-o. The flameo hot boy. The ultimate protagonist whose powers are friendship and fire hands. Catch those hands, why don'tcha."

Lana felt like there was something odd with the memory of which fictional character she crushed on, but she was more weirded out by the names Vi listed out for Tsuna. "The flameo hot boy?" Lana sent a look at Vi, "Why?"

"Because I can't believe you liked the main boy. How common can you get?" Vi raised her eyebrow. "He's not even that interesting!"

Lana shrugged, "I prefer to be common most of the time." Though Lana was pretty sure that there was something in the back of her mind, unfortunately she could not grasp onto whatever she was trying to recall.

"Well, you can't get more common than the protagonist." Vi mused, before thinking of something. "The only thing more cliché than being part of the protag harem is falling for the misunderstood 'bad boy'. And I don't think you're Hibari's type." She snorted at the thought.

"Misunderstood bad boy type?" Lana scrunched her face at Vi, unable to understand what that meant. However she understood the latter part of her words, "Obviously not. He's the type to terrify me." Lana cringed at the thought of meeting Hibari for real. She imagined herself being chased to the death instead. "The last thing I want is to be hit by his tonfa."

Vi choked on her drink. "You have not seen the fangirls on the internet. There are many, Many, MANY girls who want to be 'hit by his tonfa,'" putting air quotes around the phrase, "If you know what I mean."

"Oh yeah, didn't you mention that several times when I started reading the series?" Lana recalled how Vi bugged her to start reading the series, and made complaints about the over intensified group of Hibari fan girls. In fact Lana still questioned as to how Hibari has such a large fanbase when his strength is a cliched trope constantly used in shows or comic book movies to make the guy seem more than what he seems.

"Yep." Vi affirmed, popping the 'p' loudly. "Hibari is the copy paste anime boy, with the same black hairstyle as every other anime protag. And the whole 'you are beneath me' attitude and the silent, broody type. He's the perfect badass bishie trope with a sprinkle of cute bird pet."

"What a trope." Lana admitted, slightly pitying Hibari's existence, "I can't believe he's a reused trope for this type of series."

"He's recycled goods. The only question is…" Vi paused for dramatic emphasis. "Paper or plastic?"

"Oh my god, I can't believe-" Lana paused for a moment to actually think about it and silently replied, "That's literally a tough idea to chew on. You sure he's not aluminum? I'm pretty sure you can recycle aluminum."

Vi tapped her chin in consideration. "True, he could be. Pretty sure those tonfas are titanium or something though."

"It makes you question as to how he carries it without anyone else but himself knowing. Like where in the world do those tonfas come from?" It's forever a mystery as to how Hibari Kyoya managed to magically have his tonfas by his side while wearing his uniform jacket. "Anyway, what was that about you mentioning the misunderstood bad boy type? But more importantly if Hibari is the atypical anime boy protagonist trope then what about the other main characters?"

Vi cleared her throat in preparation. "Well. So protags. There's Tuna, Goku, Yams, Cow, Punchy, Death, the bf, and the gf. Does Reborn count as a protag?"

"His name is on the cover of the manga." Lana pointed out, supporting the idea that he is considered one. "Plus he's the one helping, emphasis on the helping, Tsuna to become the Tenth generation boss."

"True. Then Tuna is the main main protag, knight in shining armor, 'I fight for my friends', idiot."

"Knight and shining armor?" With the way he screams, Lana is doubting the trope placed on Tsuna.

"Goku, squid boy, right hand man, always the bridesmaid, never the bride, 'I only buy clothes from Hot Topic', tsundere."

"You make it sound like he's some edgy teenager and a supportive fan girl in one person." Lana paled on the idea of what Gokudera would think of how they their impression of him. He'd probably yell at them threatening to throw his bombs at them with Tsuna trying to stop him from doing so.

"Yams, the musclehead, nice guy, clueless idiot, samurai, 'student athlete The Grind Never Stops', daddy's boy."

"They never really explained much about Yamamoto's mother, I think. They just made subtle comments about how Yamamoto brought friends over for the first time through his dad." Lana recalled, actually wondering what in the world happened to his mother. Was it divorce? Was it death? Who knows.

"Cow, the innocent baby, time travel paradox, sugar high, sinnamon roll on Fire, actual toddler who should not be here?! Unless he shoots! Himself! With a cannon! What even?!"

"Then again he's a child of the supposed Bovino Family, in which we never seen before except for their messages. Literally what kind of small mafia family sends a child out to kill the number one hitman? It's obvious that they didn't care for Lambo when they sent him to find Reborn, but it's even more sad to think they're willing to send letters but not show themselves before the child. Is being a member of the Vongola Family through Tsuna that important of a status to them?" Lana did always wondered why the Bovino Family never showed themselves even though they managed to create Lambo's special Ten Years Later Bazooka.

"Punchy, the extreme-o, siscon, hit too much he probably has brain damage, no indoor voice, needs to put a shirt on, 'I have anime hair colors aka no normal person colors', extreme to the nth power."

Lana was going to say something nice about Ryohei, but nothing came to mind. "I actually have no other comments for Ryohei except for agreeing with you."

"Death, as mentioned before is the copy paste black haired anime bishie, bad boy with a heart of jerkface, adorable pet bird what even, one man army, 'I'll kick anyone's ass. I'll kick your ass. I'll kick your dog's ass. I'll kick my own ass.', OK maybe not that last one, serious sadistic tendencies."

"Hibari sounds like a mess in one character." She already voiced her opinion of his character earlier and it actually gave Lana a headache to recall of that.

"The bf, or the beef, anime hair again, like what even is that purple pineapple, reformed enemy is now a friend, 'I have a membership to Hot Topic', God Awful Childhood, pickle."

"Well he's definitely not the edgy type, but can't blame him for the childhood Mukuro was given. It's a shame that he had to be taken to prison during the events of the Kokuyo Arc."

"The gf, the purest cinnamon roll, deserves nice things, also a pretty shit childhood, token female, twinsies with a dude, must be protected."

"Gf? Who are you talking about?" Lana was wearing a look of confusion.

Vi paused in her monologue. "The gf! Oh my god, she's real holy shit," she muttered under her breath. "Oh my god, I'm going to woo her."

Lana stared at Vi, still wearing a look of confusion. "What? Who are you referring go?"

"Wait, so you don't remember Chrome?" Vi looked concerned over Lana's memories of the plot.

"I told you earlier." Lana pointed out as she crossed her arms in anguish, "I only remembered the start of the Varia arc leading up to Iemitsu's real identity. The rest of my memories are blank for some reason."

Vi was a little worried about what the meaning behind Lana's missing memories could be. "Huh. Well, maybe it's just been a while since we read it, so your memories are fuzzy. I'm sure they'll come back to you. I only remember parts of Varia arc, but not much after."

"But normally I don't draw blanks like this unless I didn't study for some super important exam." Lana was pretty sure her memories are still intact, but wondered why the ones regarding KHR are a tad hazy.

"Don't worry about it, I guess. I bet going through the arc again will help you remember. Anyways, Reborn, the titular character, the over powered baby assassin, badass adorable, catchy catchphrase, chitty chitty bang bang, spartan home teacher."

"I think your tropes for him are understandable. I just wonder why he's such an overpowered character even though he's mainly a tutor despite his appearance." Lana was still a bit shaky from her first meeting with the said character. Especially hearing her own name from him.

Vi shrugged. "Plot bunnies. It's a mystery. I'm supposing we'll have to 'play the game' and go through either a certain number of arcs or hit the end before we can go...back home."

"Have you ever wondered what's the purpose of this game than just playing it?" Lana asked Vi to see her opinion.

"The whims of a sick and twisted maniac." Vi deadpanned. "We're puppets now. We have no free will, forced to participate in this fake reality until the overlord is satisfied with our performance."

"Never thought that'd one day we'd be considered puppets, but I think the latter of your words is going a bit too far for someone like Checkerface." There's too much vague information surrounding him especially. Lana made a mental note to be sure to find some evidence about him.

"We don't know anything about Checkerface, though. He abducted us! Sent us to this world! And knows the contents of my underwear drawer! My soul has been violated!" Vi shouted, suddenly seething at the thought of being manipulated to this extent. "What's next? What could possibly be the purpose of this game besides for his entertainment? It's not like we're chosen one's to fulfill a prophecy. For all we know, we could die! I don't want to die in a preteen's body!" She took a deep breath, calming down a bit after her short spiel.

Seeing Vi calm down from her outburst, Lana wasn't sure if her theory was right but decided to bring it out on the spot. "Do you think Checkerface is a part of the KHR world somehow? Like some part that wasn't mentioned in the actual plot? Or someone that's been watching and reading the story like us that somehow gained an immense amount of power to do things out of his own will?" The more Lana thought about the last suggestion, the more ridiculous she thought of saying it after hearing Vi's next words.

"That's it. We're going to die at the hands of a psychopath." Vi flopped back onto the sofa.

"We don't know that yet Vi, if anything let's just make sure we play by the rules accordingly." Lana reminded her friend of the rules they've been set with for this game. It's hard to believe they'd end up returning to the age of a middle school student and have to watch everything that happened in the KHR series all over again. Except all of the fighting is now considered real to them.

"So the plan is just we go to school like normal middle schoolers, don't stick out too much, and gather information. And don't die." Vi moaned into a couch pillow. "What even are our lives anymore."

"Yeah." Lana agreed with Vi's statement. "For now, until we can get our original forms and go home after all of this."

Face still buried in a pillow, Vi continued her complaints. "We also have to participate in the whole Vongola versus Varia battle now. Not like participate participate, but Reborn practically said he wanted us there, so that means we have to go under penalty of Death."

"Let's just be glad that we're not actually facing the Varia and letting the characters handle it themselves." Lana thanked the heavens for being able to luck out on this.

"I would die if I had to fight a swordsman. His hand is a sword! What the hell!" Vi whacked the pillow against the sofa. "What kind of person does that?! I feel bad for Yams tomorrow. I'm pretty sure his battle is tomorrow, right?"

"I think? I don't recall exactly, Reborn only mentioned that tonight was Gokudera's battle. So I guess they haven't confirmed the next battle yet." Lana thought back on what Reborn mentioned to them earlier. Though it didn't make complete sense to her as to why Reborn would mention about the battle for tonight. Was he expecting them to arrive tonight? She hoped not while stuffing the thought into the back of her mind.

"I am at least 80% positive that the Yams battle was after the Squid battle. The one with the water flooding came after the one with the fire booms." Vi made explosion sound effects. "Destroyed half of the school and bones in his body. Who even pays for property damage? Or hospital bills?"

"I think Dino has the hospital bills covered? I remember Dino being at the hospital for a bit when Tsuna went to go see Gokudera and Yamamoto at the hospital to see how they were doing." Lana was pretty sure that was what happened before Tsuna's father was revealed to be the boss of CEDEF.

"Of course. Of. Fucking. Course." Vi muttered. "Stupid pretty blond boy. Has to be perfect. Cares about children. God damn."

"It's too bad the pretty blonde boy is a complete klutz without his subordinates." Lana added on in both amusement and in memory of the chapter Dino was first introduced to Tsuna and the others in the daily arc. It was a nice twist to what seemed to be the pupil before Tsuna.

Vi covered her face with her hands and whined, her voice muffled. "It makes him quirky. Unfortunately, I find it adorable. I'm going to punch him in his cute button nose. I hope he falls down a flight of stairs today."

"I feel like I should pray for Dino's safety all of a sudden." Lana suddenly felt worried after Vi mentioned falling down the stairs. Let's hope the tenth boss of the Chiavarone Family doesn't actually fall down thanks to stairs.

About to add something else, Vi interrupted herself with a loud yawn. "Alright then, it's pretty late already. We should probably go to bed soon to get up early for school."

"You can go ahead, I'm gonna go wash the dishes." Lana got up from her seat holding her empty water bottle on top of Vi's abandoned empty plate.

"Hey no, I'll take the dishes since you cooked after all." Vi countered.

"Nah, it's fine." Lana reassured the other girl, taking her plate and heading towards the kitchen, "Besides I need to pack the leftovers for our lunch tomorrow."

"Seriously, you don't have to do all that." Vi grabbed her plates and drink and followed Lana into the kitchen. "What's the point of having two people if one does all the work?"

Lana took Vi's plates and pushed her out of the kitchen, "Just go. It's all fine, so go on ahead and get your beauty sleep."

"Beauty sleep is for the weak. I am a natural beauty. This is the work of angel tears and heaven's clouds." Vi insisted as she was pushed out. "I don't need sleep! I'm all mighty! I can last forever!"

"Last week, you messaged me with that one tweet about 24 hour sleep cycle with the caption 'dis me'." Lana reminded the girl of what took happened before they were transported.

Vi yelled back from the stairs. "I am a multifaceted enigma!"

Shaking her head, Lana was going to head to the sink until she remembered about another cup sitting on the living room table. Placing the dishes beside the sink, Lana headed back into the living room to grab the said item. Once she took hold of the cup, Lana muttered to herself as she stared at it, "Reborn's cup."

Lana pondered as to how the hitman managed to find out her full name, since Vi had never referred to her by it, only her first name. Trying to shrug the thought off since it was giving her a headache, Lana decided to resume her dish washing duty. Once she took out the dish dryer from the cabinet below the sink. Lana commenced washing all of the dishes closest to her first. When she had finished most of them, Lana turned off the water and went over to see the dishes on the table. Wondering if Tsunomichi ate some and hopefully not all of the leftovers. However, much to Lana's surprise, she found out that most of the plates of food were already gone on the table, replaced with only two lunch boxes atop of the dining room table.

Taking a closer inspection of the lunch boxes, Lana noticed that each one had a particular design referring to them by their primary flames. A white lunch box of stars scattering around and a black lunch box filled with different phases of the moon. Lana felt bad for doubting on Tsunomichi after seeing this, he even managed to get them lunch boxes which both of them forgot to get at the supermarket. Heck, he even washed and put away the dishes she was supposed to do before going to sleep!

Lana glanced around the kitchen to see if there was some kind of sticky note and pen to use. Luckily for her there was one set by the landline away from the sink. She used the note to thank Tsunomichi for packing the lunch, and headed over to place the note on the supposed office he's staying in. The girl then took both of the lunch boxes to place into the fridge to preserve the food. A yawn sounded from her mouth, feeling her need for sleep, Lana went straight up the stairs for bed.

After Lana had left for bed, Tsunomichi peered from his office door to see what was put on his door. Slightly fearful of whether it was Vi who placed it in order to intimidate him. However the caretaker was surprised by what he found, a thank you note from Lana for packing their food. He felt touched to see that there was some signs of kindness from Lana even though she seemed ready to strangle him too about their replicated rooms. Feeling appreciated for his role as caretaker, Tsunomichi returned to his office wearing a content smile on his face.

Opening the door to her room, Lana took out a matching pair of pastel blue pajamas bearing the sleeping star twins known as Kiki and Lala. Lana mumbled in embarrassment, "I forget that I had these pjs."

Dragging herself over to the bathroom while holding her pjs in hand, Lana's eyes squinted from the brightness of the bathroom lights. She spotted two sinks, a toilet, and a bath/shower combo with a shower door. Standing in front of the two sinks was none other than Vi in her pjs, wiping her wet hair with a towel, "I took a quick shower."

"Wow." Lana admitted in awe, "That's a pretty fast shower."

"Didja want to use the bathroom?" Vi asked, already unplugging the hair dryer from the wall socket.

"Yeah." Lana headed into the bath and shower combo and closed the door behind her.

As Lana was taking her shower, Vi took the hair dryer into her room. Once she finished blow-drying her hair, she went back into the bathroom to brush her teeth.

She stared incredulously at the clear dinosaur patterned cup on the side of the sink. "They took my toothbrush."

Lana stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped on her hair while wearing the pajamas she chose and holding onto the folded clothes she wore today, "Calm yourself, Vi. Did you double check your suitcase or room to make sure it's still there?"

Vi walked back to her room holding the bright green toothbrush, still somewhat in shock. "My toothbrush. Oh my god." Mumbling to herself as she looked through her carry on bag. She took out a case and mentally prepared herself before opening it. "Oh wow okay."

She walked back to the bathroom holding a toothbrush in each hand. "This is fucking surreal."

Lana goes back to her room to place her laundry into the laundry basket she found in her closet. Going back over to her suitcase, Lana grabbed her pink travel toothbrush, a clear plastic cup, and toothpaste. Walking back into the bathroom, Lana filled up her cup with water and started brushing her teeth. After gargling all of the minty foam using the water, Lana spat the contents into the sink. Cleaning the cup with the sink water, she placed the toothbrush and toothpaste into the cup.

Brushing her teeth quickly yet thoroughly, Vi went through her ritual of mouthwash and floss. "Dental hygiene is very important," she stated, turning to Lana. "Also my dentist has scarred me for life."

"I can see that." Lana commented as she continued to dry her hair using the towel first and then went to use the blow dryer in her room in the bathroom.

"Alright I'm done with my stuff. Night!" Vi exited the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

"Night!" Lana responded back to Vi as she finished blow drying her hair, unplugging the item to return the said item to the dresser. Lana then switched off the lights and tucked herself into bed.

And thus their first night in their new house in their new world ended.

Vi was startled awake by the sharp chirping of her alarm. She sat up feeling absolutely dead to the world. "Wow tiny me is not a morning person." She looked to the side, spotting her alarm clock on the ground where she swatted it. "Well thank goodness I'm awake." The room was dimly lit since it wasn't facing the rising sun.

She put her glasses on and made her way to the bathroom, still groggy and yawning widely without covering her mouth. When she entered the bathroom, she saw Lana's door still closed. "I guess she's not awake yet. Gotta be quiet…"

Spotting her reflection in the mirror, she put a hand on her hair in shock. "This is exactly why I never got bangs again." Her hair was sticking up in all directions, defying gravity. Looking for a flat iron in the cabinet underneath the sinks, she found bottles of hair products of all types. "How much stuff does he think a girl needs? Like the only thing I would ever use is shampoo, conditioner, and maybe a detangler spray." She spotted the flat iron behind the hair dryer from yesterday.

Acting quickly so Lana wouldn't see her anything less than perfect, she turned it on, waited until it was warm enough, and swiftly pulled her bangs straight. "Ah, wonderful. Maybe I should have gotten hair clips yesterday, but I can pull off bangs." Hearing noises coming from Lana's room, she pulled the plug, wrapping up the flat iron, and hid the evidence.

Vi closed the cabinet door and picked up her toothbrush just in time for Lana to walk through the door.

Lana groaned as she turned off the alarm clock, feeling slightly groggy. It had been awhile since she woke up this early to get ready for school. Getting off of her bed, Lana fixed her bed sheets straightening out the wrinkles made. Once she finished, Lana went to grab the comb sitting on her dresser to comb the small bundle of mess known as her hair. After combing her hair, Lana headed straight into the bathroom. She tried to stop herself from rubbing her eyes while opening the door to the bathroom, inside she found Vi already brushing her teeth.

"Good morning, Vi." Lana mumbled taking her cup to get her toothbrush.

"Mornngg," Vi managed to garble out, toothbrush and foam in her mouth.

The two got themselves ready in silence, brushing their teeth and washing their faces. They finished tidying up and drowsily plodded downstairs, still in their pjs.

The duo walked into the kitchen to find their student uniforms folded nicely on the table with a note on top with a checkered hat, presumably from the only checker maniac in the house, Tsunomichi.

Lana took the note and read the letter out loud.

Good Morning!

I hope you two are ready to start going to school! Normally I would be there to take you to school as your legal guardian, however, Master Checkerface requested my help so I am currently away on business. Although, I am confident that you two are able to take good care of yourselves and are able to make it to school with no troubles.

Remember the rules given to you.

Your caretaker, Tsunomichi.

Listening in the back, Vi took her head out of the fridge, "Wonder what kind of business that could be." She found the curry bread that Lana bought yesterday. "Aw Lana, is this for me?"

"Yes." Lana stifled a yawn while refolding the letter, "I'm not dealing anything today without coffee." She turned to the coffee machine, taking out the box of french vanilla Vi had purchased yesterday.

Vi was still rifling through the fridge and called out. "Hey do you want anything to drink besides coffee? Also, I still gotta toast my bread."

Lana headed over to set the toaster oven, "Could you get me an apple, 2 eggs, and half a glass of orange juice?"

Vi passed the curry bread to Lana who put it in the oven, got out an apple, 2 eggs, the orange juice jug, and the almond milk carton for herself, and closed the fridge.

Once she got the eggs, Lana took out a frying pan and spatula. " Vi, scrambled or over easy?" Lana asked while drizzling a small amount of olive oil onto the pan.

"Scrambled." Vi sipped her almond milk, waiting for her curry bread to finish toasting.

Lana muttered to herself as she salted the first scrambled egg, "Guess I'm the only one who prefers over easy."

While pouring Lana her glass of orange juice, Vi remembered a thing. "I saw two boxes in the fridge. What were those?"

"Those are our lunchboxes, I think Tsunomichi packed the leftovers for us after I offered him some dinner." Lana replied, starting on her over easy egg.

"Really?" Vi went to the fridge and took the boxes out while putting the orange juice and milk back. "Hey Lana, did you look inside them yet?"

"No, I was too drowsy yesterday." Lana stopped for a moment by the time she finished her over easy egg, after realizing her small mistake, "I should've checked, drat."

Upon opening the boxes, Vi began laughing so hard, she choked on her milk. "This is absolutely surreal."

Lana, making sure the stove was off, headed over to look. "Did I make the right choice in giving him food?"

"I fucking guess so, this is completely hilarious." Vi put her drink down, starting to cry a little.

Lana gaped at what she saw, "Wow…this is adorable."

It was the cutest fucking lunch boxes either of them had seen. Vegetables cut into little flowers, those little hot dogs cut into octopi, the rice was shaped into cute animals with faces made out of seaweed. The stir-fry from yesterday was neatly put around everything, creating a nice border. Overall, it was absolutely adorable.

After taking taking a bite of her food, Lana had to admit. "Either he really is taking his job as caretaker seriously or he's legitimately terrified of us and made this to save himself."

"I don't even know any more." Vi shook her head. "It almost seems like a shame to eat these. If he made these every day, I might forgive him in a week."

Lana marvelled at their caretaker's success, "Tsunomichi has found the way to your heart, through your stomach. I also kind of owe him an apology later…anyways! It's school time, c'mon we need to change into our uniforms!"

They each grabbed their own uniform from the table and spotted something. Underneath the uniforms was another note with an orange dying will bullet, that the duo could only guess was from their guest yesterday.

I'll be expecting you two tonight.

-Reborn

"Well, that's not terrifying at all," Vi broke the silence with her sarcastic remark.

"At least he somewhat knows our situation." Lana stated while taking custody of the letter.

"Our situation? Do you mean constant threat of death? Ah yes, I am so pleased that a hitman knows that we are in constant danger." Vi retorted. She sighed heavily. "Why don't we just get changed."

The two headed back up the stairs to change into their respective school uniforms. When they finished, they met downstairs in the living room.

Lana dressed in a white blouse covered by a dark blue sleeveless sweater vest, paired with a grey skirt and black leggings, last but not least a red bow tie on the collar of her blouse. On her hair was none other than the same bow clip she bought at the accessory store to hold back her bangs and in hand was an olive colored messenger bag meant to be used for her laptop that is now used for her messenger bag. Decorating on the zipper, Lana added a rabbit charm adorning a gold bell she used back in high school.

Vi wore the same as Lana except she chose to ditch the black leggings for a pair of black thigh highs. In her head, she complained about being absolutely stifled in the layers. She especially wanted to rip off the stupid red bow that had no business being there, but she settled for laying it flat and covering it with the purple scarf she bought the day before. She had dug out a medium black messenger bag from her closet and decided to use that as her bookbag. She decorated her bag with a bunch of pins she had collected over the years. There were five small cat face buttons, two rainbow pins, three dog faces, a volleyball, a snake, and a crab. She decided to keep with the same purple running sneakers she wore to the airport, since boots and the like were just impractical for school.

In the living room after seeing each other, Vi raised an eyebrow. "These uniforms are awful."

"We have no choice, since they enrolled us into Namimori Middle School and not some other school." Lana referred to what's already been done according to the letters. "Plus, I feel awkward in this too. I can't believe miss being in a public school now for just the choice of picking different clothes for everyday."

Vi was distracted by the bow on her collar. "I am completely disgusted by this red bow? Tie? Bow-tie? It's hideous. It's too frumpy and weird. Why is this even a thing. I despise it. I would set it on fire and throw it in a garbage can full of shit."

"Aren't uniforms more of a private school attire? I remember boarding schools did this when we were in our world." Lana recalled the students who'd often walk around in uniforms compared to them.

"Yeah, private schools in America have uniforms. But a lot of Japanese public schools have uniforms, not just the private schools. I just wish this could look nicer! Who designed this, I look like a child."

"What if it was Hibari?" Lana suddenly felt sick after saying that. "I want to take that back and throw myself somewhere, because I just imagined the impossible."

"Eughh, no!" Vi looked even more disgusted. "If it was, then he has terrible fashion sense. I don't even want to think about that. What time is it now?" She checked her watch.

"Alright enough panicking about the uniform." Lana glanced at the time on her phone, "I think we need to start walking."

"Yeah, alright. How long do you think it'll take to walk to school?" Vi asked as she took her house keys out of her pocket.

Lana took out the map of Namimori they were given yesterday to make an estimate. "Roughly twenty minutes to get there from what the map shows." Lana returned the map to her bag to make sure it's within reach in case they get lost. "Okay, time to start our return to the education system."

Vi followed Lana out the house and locked the door behind them. "Eugh, twenty minute walk. Why isn't there a school bus or something? Or at least a regular bus."

"These streets are too narrow for busses Vi." Lana pointed out to Vi, gesturing to the street they walked on yesterday.

Vi waved her arms in frustration. "Yeah, but like, walk to the main street and then take a bus! Twenty minutes is practically a hike. What if I die of exhaustion?"

"You haven't died of exhaustion yesterday when we went to explore Namimori and you survived walking to school before." Lana frowned at Vi.

"It's the education system. Shopping is one thing. I look forward to shopping. I very distinctly do Not look forward to going through middle school again." Vi sniffed in derision, looking incredibly sulky.

"No choice remember." Even Lana didn't want to go back to school, but questions will probably be raised about preteens not going to school. Then the possibility of Hibari scouting the area for students who ditched or literally don't want to go to school will be out for the kill if they even dare attempt it.

Vi grumbled into her scarf. "Shoulda brought a coffee, it's cold out. I hate this. How long 'til we get to school?"

"I think…" Lana grabbed her phone from the pocket of her messenger bag, "We have exactly…oh no…10 minutes before the warning bell."

"Shoot, that's ridiculous." Vi widened her stride, not wanting to be late.

Lana couldn't keep up and started speed walking at the other girl. "Vi, slow down a little. Your legs are too long."

Vi turned around and walked backwards. "Booo! Not my fault you have short legs. But I will admit I have an unfair advantage here." Vi slowed her pace and waited for Lana to catch up.

Increasing her speed into a sprint, Lana passed Vi and headed straight for the direction of the school, "That's what you get!"

"Betrayal! From the most unexpected source!" Vi yelled, running after Lana. "No fair! You got a head start!"

Lana shouted behind her, "First to school wins!"

Vi quickly caught up to Lana with her longer legs and passed her. "Bad idea, bud! See you at school, Lana!" she yelled back, waving behind her.

Once she was a good distance ahead of the other girl, Vi took out her phone and opened up the picture of the map of the town. She began mapping out shortcuts, using alleys with less people and other low traffic areas.

She turned a corner into an alley and spotted a tiny crying cat. "Oh no! You're adorable! I must pet you!" Remembering her lack of time, she just fucking grabbed the kitten and started to run away. Hugging the kitten to her chest, she cooed. "Oh you're so fluffy and white and I love you. I wonder if I can keep you secret until later."

She continued running through alleys and side streets, narrowly missing trash cans and loose garbage. As she skidded out of an alley, fully intact and dusting herself off, she spotted some students wearing the same uniform as her walking up a hill.

"It's a hill?! Seriously?!" She bemoaned the uphill climb, as she adjusted her bag and the kitten in her arm. Cursing her plight, she started walking up the hill. She got some weird looks for having a cat with her, but she ignored them and concentrated on not tripping and falling on her face.

Not seeing Lana anywhere, Vi reached the school gates in peace. "Ohoho, Lana should know by now that I take my competitions super serious. Now what should I do about you, kitty?" She held up the kitten, Lion King style.

Left behind, Lana grumbled at Vi's speed, "I forgot she was faster than me due to height."

As Lana jogged down the sidewalk, she noticed a sudden increase of people out today besides the students. There were people exercising or walking their dogs, students from other schools going down a different direction, and workers rushing to get to work. Lana barely dodged the incoming lady walking her dog heading down her way.

"Why are there so many people out today?!" Lana bit her lip as she continued to evade incoming obstacles she came by. Unknown to her surroundings, there was a soft yellow gleam shining from her bag in the same pocket Lana placed her rings in. In the midst of her constant evasions, Lana spotted a cute dog wandering outside its house.

"Oh, what a cute dog—" Without even realizing it, Lana's face had slammed into the pole. The gleam soon died down as Lana cringed in pain as she pinched the bridge of her nose, "Ouch."

Taking a few steps back, Lana leaned down to pet the adorable dog's head out of satisfaction. Once she got her satisfactory amount of petting, Lana continued running onwards to see a familiar building. Nami-Middle in all its seemingly normal glory, with students entering from the hill. Wait…a hill?! The uphill climb?!

"Oh my…no!" Lana screeched as she attempted increase her speed more, "Uphill climbing…time to internally sing the Love Hime song!"

Humming the tune to herself, Lana's sprint slowly inched after each person she surpassed while smiling to herself. Each person that was passed wondered why in the world was she smiling with a small bruise in the middle of her forehead. Although by the time Lana spotted the gates of the school, she saw Vi already leaning against the gates waiting for her.

"Well there goes my chances of winning." Confirming that she lost to the other girl, Lana slowed down her pace back to walking.

"What took you so long, slowpoke?" Vi grinned from where she stood next to the gates.

Lana reached the gates and sighed in pain, feeling a tingling sensation in her legs. "Congratulations, you won. Do you have water? I unfortunately forgot my water bottle at home."

Vi dug into her messenger one-handed, her other arm held at a suspicious angle out of Lana's view. "Yeah, sure. Oh, jeez what's that on your head?"

"I ran into a pole after spotting a cute dog on the sidewalk." Lana finished after taking a waterfall of water. "It was a really cute dog, it's too bad I don't have any pets like that one."

Stifling her giggles at the mental image, Vi put an arm around Lana's shoulders. "Nice job anyways. Although let's not do this every morning to avoid the whole dying of thirst thing, okay?" Still, she felt an odd sense of pride at winning their little contest.

Unbeknownst to her, Vi's ring flickered up for a few seconds and her hands glowed dimly. The glow went into Lana and the girl felt a sharp tingle.

"Ouch!" Lana briefly yelped feeling as if electricity shot through her. "Huh?" Lana blinked a few times in realization before placing the palm of her hand on her forehead, "My bruise doesn't hurt as much all of a sudden." She took a moment to collect herself and realized that she felt rather refreshed for someone who just ran up a hill.

Eyes wide, Vi whispered, "I think I saw my thing light up," holding her hand up.

"So does this mean it was your you know what?" Lana whispered back to Vi.

"Yeah possibly! What happened? What did you feel?" Stoked at the discovery of her new flame, Vi shook Lana in excitement.

"Oh man, that's so cool, I wonder if I can do that to myself." Putting a hand on her chest, she scrunched up her eyebrows in concentration. Soon the duo saw her ring dimly light up and hand glow a little. "Dang that packs a punch. Kinda like I just chugged an energy drink."

"Uhh, Vi…I know this is a little late to say but why are you holding a cat?" Lana pointed out at the small animal still in Vi's grasp.

"Um. I found it." Shifty eyed, Vi held the kitten a little tighter. The kitten mewed in protest.

"Where exactly?" Lana's eyes narrowed at the girl holding the kitten close.

Feigning ignorance, Vi looked at her nonexistent watch on her wrist. "Oh, would you look at the time! We should head to the admin office!" She started to walk ahead towards the building.

"Vi…" Lana shook her head in disappointment, "Why are you taking the cat? At least hide it or something!"

Vi turned around, grinning brightly. "Come on Lana, fix your shirt already. You look like you just ran a mile."

After they cleaned themselves up a little and Vi hid the cat in her bag, they headed to the administration office. They sat in the waiting room for a couple minutes before the secretary called them into the principal's office.

The principal was sitting in his chair facing the pair, two packets sitting on the desk in front of him. "Take a seat." He gestured to the chairs in front of the desk, that looked very similar in style to the waiting room chairs. Which meant that they would be moderately uncomfortable.

After taking a seat, the duo got a good look at what was supposed to be the principal of Namimori Middle School. The principal was a professional looking stout old man, showing signs of age, but had a head full of hair that was obviously a bald comb over wig. It was a little hard not to stare too much at the wig, but they managed to sit through most of his spiel about the importance of learning and being proper young girls in a professional school setting and blah blah blah.

Wanting to get his speech over with, Vi put on her best teacher's pet face. Looking like an innocent angel, she smiled sweetly. "Of course, we want nothing more but to get the best possible learning experience out of this! We've heard so much about the brilliant teachings of this esteemed institution and were so pleased to be enrolled here."

Lana internally wanted to die, because right now she's suffering by seeing the look of high expectations the principal was showing when Vi started conversing with the principal. She was probably an inch to killing herself at the moment but remembered that she was in a school, playing an insane game created by someone named Checkerface while in the body of a preteen. Leaving Vi behind in a fictional world through death is probably the last thing she wanted to do her friend.

The principal seemed to be very impressed with Vi's performance. "Well that's excellent! Oh, I seem to have rambled on a tad. Why don't you kids go get yourselves acquainted with our humble school." Waving a hand, he excused them from his office. "And don't be late for class, now!"

"Thank you sir!" Vi grabbed a packet and walked out first, making sure to bow slightly.

Lana did the same as Vi, closed the door behind her, and followed after.

Once they were out of earshot, far away from the principal's office, Vi turned to Lana. "School is a hack. All teachers want to hear the same thing. 'I love learning' and fancy words like 'esteemed institution' and bullshit. It's almost too easy," making a face at how easily the principal was charmed.

"Terror." Lana mumbled, somewhat feeling grossed out from the principal's reaction. She opened up the packet she grabbed from the principal's desk. Inside the packets was a map of the school grounds, with their classroom written on the bottom of the map.

"Ahh school. The foundations of education. I'm practically in my element." Opening her own packet, Vi looked inside, spotting the map, a student handbook, and other miscellaneous papers. She made a mental note to read the handbook thoroughly for ways she could bend the rules.

"Hey, you guys…" Lana noticed something about the area they were at after opening the map. Pointing at a spot on the paper, "I think we're here."

Vi knocked her head into Lana's. "Yep looks like it. We should probably head to class now." she said, observing the halls were void of other students..

Lana personally didn't want to be late to class unless she was sick, "Transfer students shouldn't skip their first class otherwise that conversation you had with the principal just now would be pretty much wasted effort."

Vi sighed. "Of course. Wouldn't want my good student status to be tarnished, after all."

By some miracle, the two had ended up assigned to the same classroom. They entered the classroom to find that class had already started.

Everyone turned to look at the new arrivals. One student in particular let out a small gasp, "Lana! Vi! Oh my gosh!"

Lana's face paled, "Oh, it's Kyoko." She silently cringed at the attention the students were now giving them because of her sudden mentioning out loud.

Behind Lana, Vi muttered, "Oh. That's why she looked familiar."
