Kimiko 3, dear, thanks for the review! I'm really planning on continuing this fic actually! As long as there are people like you who encourages me, then I won't think twice updating!

This fic's rather short, so please bear with me for a while.

I don't own KHR blah blah and blah. On with it! :D

Meeting The Famiglia: Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi

Veronica made it in time to witness Reborn throw some knives at an ebony-haired teen and Tsuna, which fortunately, they dodged. It would be very troublesome if the boy she was supposed to keep an eye on gets harmed, so she began to intervene when a piece of knife whizzed past her, rendering her immobile. I didn't see that...!

Tsuna tried to stop Reborn from killing his friend, which his friend only dismissed as a game. Reborn just turned to Veronica, which earned glances from the two teens. "You're late, Kinomoto."

She composed herself and stated with sarcasm, "Oh, I'm invited here? Thanks." She noticed a silver-haired teen and asked him, "Dare da?"

The teen just scoffed at her in return. "What's it to ya?" Her eyebrow twitched at the guy's attitude. How rude...!

Tsuna, as usual, panicked. "Stop dragging innocent people into this!"

Reborn, with no difference in his expression said, "Innocent? As far as I know Kinomoto—"

CRAP! HE'S GONNA TELL TSUNAYOSHI...! She cut Reborn's statement and played along with forced smile and a dismissive hand, "Yep! I'm not innocent Tsunayoshi! I've already taken this test before and it's quite fun, I must say! Ha-ha..."

Reborn smirked then turned to Tsuna. "As the boss, you must show them an example."

"Sounds good. It's a race to see who's going to pass the test," the ebony-haired teen said.

The two of them ran while avoiding all of Reborn's obstacles. For a while, Veronica kept glancing at Reborn in case he does something that can actually kill Tsuna. When she glanced again, Reborn was gone. She looked up ahead and saw him with a bowgun in front of the two teens. She was going to tell Reborn to hold back a little when she heard an oddly familiar voice, which belonged to Lambo. He was again targeting Reborn and currently joined in the fun.

The hitman just ignored him and proceeded to shoot the two with his guns. Tsuna couldn't really afford to acknowledge Lambo because of Reborn's shots. He might get killed if he even loses his focus once, so it's all up to Veronica to keep an eye on Lambo. "Sheesh, what a pain," she muttered while scratching her head.

When she saw Lambo pulling out a missile launcher, she yelled at him to stop but nonetheless Lambo ignored her and launched the missiles. She kept glancing back and forth at Lambo and Reborn, not knowing who to stop. She had no choice but to watch when the two started to fire away and two explosions were made. "Hey! Are you two planning on killing Tsunayoshi?! Dammit! Are you even listening?!"

She spent her time yelling at Reborn that she didn't even realize that TYL Lambo made his appearance and started to charge up his horns. She also didn't notice that the silver-haired teen joined in and was now holding dynamites between his fingers, ready to strike. She just stopped yelling when a spectacular explosion of fire and lightning appeared before them.

"TSUNAYOSHI!"

She saw the ebony-haired teen guiding Tsuna out of the smoke. He was alive and it was okay for now. She wouldn't really appreciate it if Tsuna winds up dead. After all, she was starting to consider him as her brother. She approached the two and asked them if they're alright, which earned her sheepish smiles.

It would be really alright had the three held back, but no. They just had to give their best and attempted to kill the two!

The silver-haired teen and Reborn approached the two. Reborn told the ebony-haired one that he passed the test and was now part of the family, which earned him thanks, while the other grabbed him from the collar and thanked him for saving Tsuna. A bickering about being Tsuna's right-hand man ensued.

Upon seeing the silver-haired teen, she immediately remembered what he did earlier. It would really be great if Lambo's there too, so that she can give them a lesson. Never mind Reborn, he's much stronger than her. She had no choice but to put up with that for now.

She turned around and faced the two teens. Her bangs were now covering her eyes and she had this deadly aura around her. "This can't be good," Tsuna thought. I dedicate this to you, Lal. Thanks for the training.

She punched the silver-haired one on the face which sent him stumbling backwards. He immediately stood up and sent his dynamites out. "What the hell, woman?! Are you picking a fight with me?!"

"You have the audacity to ask that? Aren't you even ashamed?! You almost killed Tsunayoshi!"

That was enough to send him grovelling down on Tsuna's knees. "Juudaime! I'm sorry Juudaime! I shouldn't have overdone it!" he apologized over and over.

"Ah, it's alright Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna turned to Veronica. "Kinomoto-san, you didn't have to punch him like that!"

"Well, I'm sorry for getting worried!"

"Kinomoto-san..."

She sighed, approached Tsuna and ruffled his hair. She put her arms over Tsuna's shoulder and said, "Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name's Kinomoto Ayumi and I'm currently living with Tsunayoshi and his mother. Nice to meet you!"

"Tch, I'm Gokudera Hayato. Wait, you said you're living with Juudaime?! So you're basically like brothers and sisters, then?"

Hmm, I like the sound of that idea. "Well, yeah. I guess you could say that."

"Eh?! Really Kinomoto-san?" Tsuna can't hide the disbelief in his voice, cause basically he didn't have someone to treat him like a brother before.

"Of course, Tsunayoshi. You know, you can drop the honorifics, though I really like people addressing me with honorifcs. You can just call me Ayumi-neesan, since we're like siblings now," she proudly said.

"Wait! Why can't Juudaime be the older brother?"

"I'm taller than him, period."

"Tch."

"Uhh...thanks Ayumi-neesan. I really appreciate that you're worried about me," Tsuna scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, not at all. You're welcome, Tsunayoshi." But then Veronica noticed the ebony-haired teen that was left out of the conversation. "Hey, what's your name?" she said.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I'm Yamamoto Takeshi! You can call me Yamamoto," he replied with a grin. "Well, I'm going to club practice. See you, shorty!"

Reborn replied with an okay. They thought he was already leaving but then he turned around, "But those bombs and toys these days seems so real!"

Tsuna just gaped at him while Veronica thought, "Is he serious?"

Reviews are appreciated! :D

Oh yeah, I drew Veronica so that you'll have an idea on what she looks like when she's 14 years old. I haven't drawn her 22 year old self yet. You can visit my profile to get the link on my deviantart. Thanks! :)))))))
