20 Years Ago
Rebboku-san was gone and Nana was waiting for her second suitor to appear, but she couldn't stop thinking about him.
Still sitting in the straight back chair in the small tea shop, Nana was nervous all over again. She fidgeted in her white short-sleeved blouse and long navy blue skirt, fingering the darkening tea stain.
Nana looked up as the bell above the door chimed. Entering the small café was a young man dressed in a clean black karate gi and a white cloth wrapped around the top of his head, making his short black hair appear spiky.
With the elderly nakōdo still watching her, she stood and made the proper introductions. Once finished, Nana returned to her seat, allowing the woman to control the conversation.
Trying to focus on the man before her, and not Rebboku-san, Nana wracked her brain to recall her father's portfolio on Yamamato Tsuyoshi.
He was 22 years old and quickly making a name for himself. Though his family owned many dojos across Japan, he opted to open a sushi restaurant in Namimori instead. His restaurant quickly reached five-star status and notability. Within the last year, he turned it into a chain and opened multiple restaurants in nearby cities.
Though he wasn't her father's first choice, it was clear that Yamamato-san had connections and money enough to appease her father.

Nana had found herself relaxing during her meeting with Yamamato-san. He was a very polite and perceptive gentleman. He seemed to know when the conversation was becoming uncomfortable and would easily change the topic.
Though she had not become as enraptured in his presence as she did with Rebboku-san, she did enjoy his company. He was someone she knew she could be herself with.
Long after he was gone, she was contemplating the differences between the two young men. Though she was attracted to Rebboku-san, she wondered if she could love Yamamato-san.

Anxious to be out of the uncomfortable chair and away from the elderly nakōdo, Nana waited fort he last of her suitors to appear. She knew this one was not chosen by her father, but by the nakōdo herself. Though, her father had approved of him.
The teen she was waiting for was closer to her age. At 15, he was already attending medical school in Italy under a scholarship from the Vongola Corporation…

Present Day
Ding. Dong. The doorbell rang, waking Nana from her thoughts.

Reborn had watched as events unfolded when Tsuna was leaving for school. 'So, Yamamato…' Smirking evilly, Reborn began to formulate a plan to deal with the older man.
Unbeknownst to the man standing next to him, Reborn was anxious. Though he seemed cool and composed, his insides were full of butterflies. Today, he would bring the matchmaker and re-confirm the arrangements made 20 years ago.
Moving towards the house, Reborn motioned for the man next to him to follow.
Together, they approached the door of the Sawada residence. Ding. Dong.
