REVIEW/s
Alynn- Aorels: Hey, greetings.
Is this guy Byakuran with different hair and eyes (I just want it to be Byakuran, but it's probably not him)? Wait, if it was she would have recognize him. Is it the guy from the student council? Or just a stranger?
Why is he friends with Allison if she doesn't like her?
'Dead Min'? Minerva died? Huh, but I thought... What the hell happened? I don't understand anything anymore. Whyyyy?
Her mother is a little strange, I mean, her daughter is screaming her head off about not knowing the guy, and she trust him? Is she hoping he will kill her in her sleep or something? Huh, strange mom, I'm lucky mine's not like that.
I'll be going, see you next time, bye!
Hey Alynn,
Sorry for the late post. I love Byakuran, but who knows, maybe that guy is Byakuran, or Irie, or Hibari or Yamamoto. HAHAHA. By the way, thanks for the review.
Hey guys. :3

Chapter 5
"Min. Go for a walk. There's something Bianchi and I wants to talk about."
I nodded and got the hell out. Yeah right. Adult's issues. And I'm not allowed to hear it, because I'm just a fucking child. Yeah, damn it. Curse hell. Curse Reborn. Cursing this fucking life. Curse Hibari—no. Not him. Let's change it. Curse Gokudera. Curse Yamamoto—no. Not him either. Ugh. I should stop cursing everybody.
I'm really in KHR. I can't still believe it. But Bianchi—
Oh.
Bianchi is slightly younger than Reborn in here. I really ruined the timeline and the characters. I hope Gokudera-kun is not that angry with me, he might blew me up. Bianchi is older the Gokudera than 5 years. Well if my memory serves me right, Reborn really is a pedophile. Bianchi and Reborn have a large difference in their age in the canon. If by chance, Gokudera is still around my age, maybe he haven't experienced Bianchi's cooking. Good for him.
My feet brought me to a fucking candy store. Yes. A FUCKING CANDY STORE.
Oh well.
I entered and saw a lot of treats. Obviously. This is a fucking candy store.
"Hi Ma'am—Oh. What are you doing in here 'lil gal? What—"
"Bye," I quickly got outside. The cashier starts using slang words. I can't handle it. I am usually depressed when I hear someone saying slang things. That's because when I was in third grade, (in my other life) I tried my best to do it because it was in our class room trend. So everyone really uses. But I'm the only one left out (I'm always left out, but I am in third grade that's why I'm not aware.) so I tried to learned it and asked some few friends to teach me, but the chaos occur. They asked on why I couldn't do it, then I told them that 'I am a royalty, that's why,' and that really ruined our friendship. I cannot learn those shitty things.
I was walking when I suddenly realized that I am now in nowhere, Kidding. I don't know what street is this. And the passersby are now weirdly staring. They will look at me now and then and if they have some company, they'll whisper to each other. Don't they realize that even to a two year old girl, what they're doing is really rude?
But of course they are staring. Even if I saw a baby loafing in a street with no one but herself, I'll stare at her. Even if ask her if necessary.
Gazing at the houses I feel like I've seen it though. Even the street is too familiar to begin with. Every house, every tree, every little shit I see. Even the lamppost. Maybe all the structure in Japan looks the same? Probably yes, probably no. But it must have been my imagination that this street is too familiar. Or I'm just being too preoccupied finding ways not to notice the people staring. Oh shit. I need to focus about going home, maybe I need to ask someone.
I approached a woman with a shoulder length hair. She is unusually happy with bag in both hands. Maybe she came from a grocery store. Or maybe she just like to carry bags. She saw me (she just saw me, all of the passersby are staring at me and she just saw me) and looked at me with wide eyes, she quickly scooped me into her arms. What the hell, how can she carry me? She have those bulky bags with here. May be she has super strength or something?
"What are you doing in here little girl? Are you lost?" she softly asked as she continued walking.
This is kidnapping right?
Where is she going? You can't just get toddlers in the street and be like, 'Hey, you love flowers? I love flowers too!' Why did she even bring me with her? What the fuck. I cannot talk to her and say long Japanese sentences, it'll freak her out. She'll wonder how the heck can a two year old foreigner, can say long Japanese sentences. Well, in the Phalanx Famiglias Head Quarters, they are speaking Japanese. So Japanese is my first language. I don't know how to speak Italian for Merlin's sake. Staring at her won't do any good either, she'll tickle me. Typical adults. Ugh. I need Reborn. Where the fuck are you Reborn? YOU ARE NOT IN MY RANGE WHEN I NEED YOU. CURSE YOU. GO TO HELL.
"Oh, poor little thing," she said then launched into a story. Her voice is so soothing, I want to sleep—IS THIS THE EVIL SCHEME OF THE KIDNAPPERS? OH MY GOD. They'll kidnap me and snatch my organs, and sell it in the black market.
"—and you know I do have a son around your age. But he is too shy. Maybe I'll bring you to our home before helping you to go back to your own house," at least she is not a kidnapper, but please, if I am a normal child and my parents are in our home, and I am playing around and got lost, they'll worry. So why do we need to segue?
"Please Merlin, can I talk to normal people?" I grumbled.
"Oh! You can say a few words, what a nice thing!"
I stopped. The way she talks, she's so vulnerable. I heard her voice before. Where? I recognize her tone. Even her face. Her hair, her smile and the way she talks.
"You're so cute, what's your name? Oh! I forgot to ask that first," then she laughed
"Oh here we are," she stopped in front of a two-story house. It is large. And familiar house. A very familiar house.
Fuck.
I know why this house is do familiar. Even the structure of the backyard is so familiar. I knew it. And I am not ready for this. The same way I'm not ready for this world.
"Welcome to Sawada Residence."
Reborn and Bianchi are talking. The greatest hit man examining the house.
"We are currently attacked by some famiglia it seems. But our gathered intelligence concludes that it is an inside job."
"So what will you do?" the girl said while looking at Reborn with worry. The woman have been Reborn's partner for over two years. She do not know what to expect or what to not expect when she's with him.
"Lisse and I, we are aware that there are danger. That's why we tried to not involve Minerva with it. We do not want her to be in danger, that's why we've decided to leave her here. I'll be leaving in 5 months. Please take care of her for me," Reborn said and looked down. Being in the Phalanx Famiglia led him to be a great brother to Minerva. He do not want to lose the trust of the child. He is well aware that the child is too sly, she'll know when something is off.
"Okay. I'll take care of her. But you do know that I can hand le her that well do you?" The woman asked.
Reborn only nodded.
"I forgot Tsuna is playing in the park. Oh, never mind. He's with his father," then her eyes twinkled.
I am in this fucking house for an hour. I'm sure Reborn noticed but he knows that I can take care of myself.
"Umm. Home," I loudly said.
She looked at me and she seemed to have understood what I'm saying.
We then got out of the house, "Where's your home?" she asked.
I told her the name of the street, she guided me through the street that I named. It took less than a minute to find my way home.
"I ca—can do it," I force myself to stutter in front of her. I am well aware that she will not let me go alone. But when I looked at her into the eyes, she then nodded and reluctantly left me there. I plan to wait until she is too far away from me, but halfway through, she looked back at me, smiled, then said, "What is you name then? I'm Sawada Nana."
I smiled at her then said,"Min."
"Rebooooooorn! Come get me in here! Why did you lock this fudging door?!"
"Tsk. I did not," he shortly said, this damn Reborn. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you.
"REBORN! I NEED TO GO OUT! I'M SO HUNGRY, AND ITS MORNING DON'T TROLL ME!" I screamed, "IF YOU DO NOT OPEN MY DOOR I WILL DESTROY THIS PIECE OF SHIT!"
"Oh?"
"DIE REBORN! DIE NOW! DO ME A FAVOR AND DIE!"
"Oh."
"GO TO HELL! THAT'S WHERE YOU BELONG! YOU PIECE OF SHIT! DAMN IT!"
"I belong in heaven," he plainly said.
"THAT'S BULLSHIT! HELL WILL WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS! THE GATE OF HEAVEN WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE JUST BY YOUR PRESENCE!"
"Oh?"
"FUCK YOU REBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN!"
"Sorry I do not fuck children."
"JUST GO TO HELL!"
"I'm so sorry Minerva. I came out because I am looking for someone," she apologized because she opened my door a little too late.
Reborn is relaxing on the sofa when I tried to open my door. Now, he is nowhere to be found. I guess I need to take a tour again.
"Can I go out?" I asked.
"Yes you can. But try not to get lost," she said. I nodded and made my way through the door.
I laze around and got in front of a store. That sells sushi. What do you call this kind of store again? Food store? Sushi store? Never mind. Maybe I'll find some candy store. Not that one who speaks in slang.
"Ow," a boy bumped in to me and fell into the ground.
I looked at him, he has a baseball bat in one hand and a ball in the other. I looked at him carefully and realized that—
"Oh. Sorry. Bumped to you," he said then smiled.
This is Yamamoto.
"R-really sorry, not looking," he said then smiled again.
Definitely Yamamoto.
"It's okay," I said then smiled too, I looked at his hand and amazed at what I realized. Yamamoto is around my age and he is carrying a baseball bat.
He really love baseball I guess.
"I'll be going," I said then left him in there.
Yamamoto is a pro at walking and lifting things in his age. Now I get it why Reborn made him Tsuna's rain guardian. He is strong, like his father. And he really looks like the first rain guardian in the manga. Maybe a reincarnation? That's cool.
I am wondering how Reborn pulled this off. He became a tutor. Found guardians and trained them. Trained them again. And again. Did he lose his abilities in being a hit man during the process? He's not moving anymore, is he?
I continued walking and realized that, dang. I'm lost again.
In the anime and manga, it looks like that Namimori is not big, but now, experiencing to be in this place for the first time, it's awfully large.
I guess I need to ask others to help me, again,
"Extreme!"
Perfect timing. I know where to ask.
In a house near me, there is a child some years older than me and a girl as the same age as me.
"I'll care for you, to the extreme!"
"Onii~"
And nice to see Ryohei in child form. And maybe, Kyoko is the toddler.
I approached them and when Ryohei saw me—
"Extreme!" then he looked at me, "Not here are you?"
And I thought he'll be a gloomy child.
I smiled then nodded.
Kyoko also smiled at me. Wow. She really is all sparkling. Even if I cannot read the KHR in this rate (because I am in the KHR), I imagine the fucking backgrounds. I believe that her motto in life is "More sparkles, more fun."
He smiled at me, "I'm Ryohei!" then he beamed at me, "And this is Kyoko! She's cute to the extreme!"
I laughed then he stared at me. "Why are you laughing? / Why laugh? " they both skeptically asked.
"Because you're both cool to the extreme," I said.
It seems that Ryohei was raised by good parents. Even if he is so energetic, he's cheerfulness can pulse even from a far. He's optimism is contagious. Now I know why Reborn chose him as the sun guardian. He radiates, like the sun.
"I'll go now Kyoko and Ryohei. By the way, I'm Min," I said then smiled.
"Min," they both repeated.
"Now, now. If I only know how to get out of this big Namimori Maze," I whispered.
"Ouch! Look where you're going!" the words slipped from my mouth before I know it. Ugh. My cover being an innocent two year old is now blown off.
"You should look where you're going, herbivore. I'll bite you to death."
I stopped in my tracks.
Why do I get to bump all the guardians?!
"Sorry," I mumbled.
He looked at me with those creepy eyes. It's creepy, because we're toddlers. Oh I forgot, I'll turn three soon. After 11 months. Ugh.
"Go away," he said. I rolled my eyes.
"Hey. I'm not a dog. You cannot make me go away with your words," I said.
Hibari Kyoya is a living piece of shit like Reborn.
"Shut your mouth Herbivore," he hissed.
I rolled my eyes for the second time, "You're an herbivore too. So shut your mouth too."
That's when he start glaring at me, "You're appearance is unusual, that dress is only for formal occasions, leave Namimori."
I gaped at him. SERIOUSLY. Is he a police or what? He's making me leave Namimori for fuck's sake.
"You're kidding me. I'll kick you, you shit."
"Leave Namimori."
"That's bullshit. Well, too bad, I'm lost. I'll leave in Namimori in one condition."
He tilt his head sideways, "What condition?"
I smiled evilly, "Help me go to a certain street and I'll leave."
Line
Well I did not expect Hibari to accept my condition.
I expect he'll let go of as soon as he heard my condition. I did not expect him to be this— dumb.
Well, he is a child after all.
I decided to ask him a few questions while we are searching for my street. Here it goes;
Conversation Number One
Me: What is your name? (I asked him even though I know it. It will be weird if I call his name without even asking it.)
Hibari: Hn.
Me: So your name is "Hn"?
Hibari: I'll bite you to death.
Me: …
Hibari: Hibari.
Me: What did you just say?
(Silence)
Hibari: Kyoya Hibari
(Silence)
Me: Well, that was awkward.
Conversation Number Two
Hibari: Hn.
Me: So, Hibari. If I have two pineapple and I gave the other one to you, and it started doing some illusions, what will you do?
Hibari: Herbivore.
Me: What?
Hibari: I'll bite you to death.
Conversation Number Three
Me: If you saw a baby in the school grounds, and outsiders are strictly prohibited, what will you do?
Hibari: Force him out.
Me: Wrong. You can never force the baby, that baby is an omnivore. You're the one who should get out, you're a toddler. Technically, you're an outsider too, why are you even in a school? You cannot even read.
Hibari: I will really bite you to death.
Halfway through our travel, we started throwing stones to each other. That's because I told him that he, too, is an herbivore.
We reached the street and I halt into a run.
"Bye Hibari! By the way, I AM MIN~"
He tried to follow me but I'm a runner so not even Hibari could overcome me.
When I entered the house I am reeking in sweat.
"—Reborn. Why can't you tell Minerva that you'll be going back in five months?"
I quickly got out of the house again.
Thank god. If I tried to hide and listen to their conversation, Reborn will probably feel my presence. Reborn is a hit man. And I will not do something that stupid. But I think I have all the information I've got. Reborn will be going back in Italy in five months.
I need to formulate a plan.
After Five Months
"Reborn, please tell Minerva that you're leaving. It will break the heart of the child," Bianchi said as she prepares a lunchbox for Reborn.
Reborn is in the living room. He's sitting on the sofa and thinking about his birthday. It's been two months since his birthday.
"Reborn, here's the lunchbox I made. You'll get hungry on the way home," Bianchi said with concern.
The woman is really worrying about the hit man. The hit man care for the child more than his life, and she just understood why when Minerva lived with her in one roof. Minerva is a cheerful child. She's also very intelligent. And she knows whether she's not needed in adult talks. She can always go out and go back. Minerva can make Bianchi laugh. She became the child's sister for five months. It's because his illegitimate brother don't want is far away from her. And it seems her brother don't want her cooking.
"No. I'm sure I will not be hungry in the flight. By the way, where's Minerva?" Reborn asked.
Bianchi smiled as if she remembered something then said, "She's playing outside."
"Again?"
"Again"
Reborn hesitantly sighed. He wants to see the child once again, he wants to see her before leaving.
He then got out of the house.
Reborn sat comfortably in his seat on the plane. The plane is now ready for takeoff. He examined every passenger when suddenly a hand tried to grab his fedora. He catches the hand before it even touched the hat.
"Hi Bro."
He hastily turned at his back and found Minerva comfortably sitting behind him.
"What are you doing here?" he managed to asked calmly.
"You're not fair. You're going home alone? I want to go home too!"
"How did you even get here?"
"Charm," Minerva coolly answered, "And don't act to angry. I know you know that I will sneak off. You knew it when you entered the airport in Japan. But you did not stop me."
Minerva rolled his eyes and Reborn looked at him sternly.
Then he said, "Dame-Minerva."
We entered the cab and Reborn paid the driver.
"They are not answering my call," Reborn murmured in Italian. I don't understand what he's saying. But I can feel that's something's off.
He wore his usual blank face and answered, "Nothing."
There was a long silence until a phone ring. I looked at Reborn to see if it's his phone, but he is looking at the cab driver and I also followed his gaze. I looked at the driver and saw him talking someone on the other line.
The cab driver turned his phone off and stopped the car.
"We cannot go into your destination. Some concerned citizen that a mansion near the woods is starting to get burned. My operator told me not to go near it," the cab driver said in Italian.
Reborn seemed a little pissed off. Maybe something about the cabdriver said. You see, Reborn is not short tempered.
Reborn looked at the driver with cold eyes and touched Leon his hat. Leon turned into a pistol and Reborn pointed the gun to the cab driver.
"My gun says go," he said.
Well I take my words back, Reborn is short tempered.
I cannot understand what they're saying but I'm sure that it is bad news. Reborn is sterner and more cold that usual.
I hope nothing worse is going on.
When we reached the Headquarters I can't see anything other than smoke. The smoke is the one that stops us to see what's going on. I can see the fire burning from afar. The driver left us meters away from the HQ. Maybe he's too afraid to raid a burning house. But how can our mansion- h-how- Shit. I need to keep moving.
"Amelia? AMELIA!" I shouted. But no one answered.
I lost Reborn easily because after I got out of the cab, I quickly ran for the house, as if my life depended on it. My life really depended on it. Before I even reached the backyard, I tripped and fell face first. I curse at the thing that tripped me. When I saw it, I nearly recited all the cuss words I know. It is one of my grandpa's subordinate. Dead. Killed by multiple gun wounds. I turned to see if the smoke is gone, but it is not, it only decreased, giving me the time to see what happened in HQ.
It's a massacre.
Bodies lying everywhere. Whoever did this wants to eliminate our famiglia as well as the proofs that this is a massacre.
I entered the mansion, luckily we have sprinklers in some part of the house, but it is not enough. It only slows the fire from spreading. The mansion is a mess. Even in the kitchen, bodies are scattered. Blood is everywhere. I ran into my room, hoping to find Amelia in there. But my room burnt.
I ran into mom's room only to find stacks of paper everywhere. The furniture is not organize and my mom and grandpa lying in the middle of the room. Knife sticking out of grandpa's chest.
I feel like the whole world is on my shoulders. This is KHR, it's supposed to be fictional, but why do it felt so real? The fire is so hot.
And scenery in front of me. Pool of blood.
I am hoping that I already endured enough by staying in here. I concluded that death is so much easier to handle in here because this is not my world. But it's not. I am lying to myself. Death is death. It so much deeper than it looks.
I went beside them and touched my mom's shoulder. I tried to wake her up.
"Lisse? Lisse! Wake up! Why are you sleeping in there?" my tears are blurring my vision. I tried to wipe my flowing tears, but it seems that it won't stop flowing.
Lisse is the coolest mom I've ever seen. She lets me curse, she never pressures me and she loved. She was alive.
I broke into a sob, "M-MOM! Don't sleep on there. G-grandpa is imitating y-you! Mom!"
I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I almost want to believe it. I can't believe it. They're dead. They are alive. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Dead. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Pool of blood. I can't believe it. Grandpa. I can't believe it. Grandpa. Alive. I can't believe it.
I also want to die. Let me die.
Anyone. Kill me.
I'm begging you.
That was... Intense.
