The Place Where We Belong

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Fanfiction

Female Tsuna

But he didn't think he would fuck up this bad. In which Iemitsu's child is not a dame middle schooler but an adult woman with a life of her own. They really, really need to check the inside of Iemitsu's head.

CHAPTER 2: Settling In


Reborn is woken up by the sound of footsteps outside the door. It's still dark outside. He glanced at the clock. It's five in the morning. Setsuna is probably going to the bathroom. He about to drift back to sleep when she knocked on his door.

"Reborn?" She called out.

"Come in," Reborn sit up. Setsuna entered his bedroom. She is wearing a tracksuit. "I'm going for my daily morning run. Do you want to come?"

"Give me a minute," He hop off the bed. Setsuna nodded and closed the door. When Reborn is ready, he found her tying her shoelaces.

They quietly slip out from the apartment and to the streets. Setsuna keep a steady pace. Reborn switch between running alongside her or hop on fences from time to time.

Reborn remember the days when he would wake up Baka Dino with gunshots so they can start training right away. He don't have to do that with Setsuna. His newest student had squint at his collection of weapons when he took them out for maintenance the previous evening. She told him to keep the noises to the minimum to avoid disturbing the neighbours. If things had happened according to his original plans, Reborn would have installed low risk explosions all over the place. They are loud and would leave some cracks, but no lasting damage. The fact that the repair cost would be taken out from Iemitsu's paychecks make it even sweeter. But he's living with Setsuna instead of the Sawada household. Setsuna will be the one to pay for any damages. It will raise questions if gunshots and explosions are being heard from Sawada Setsuna's apartment. It will be hard to explain if the press caught wind of this. Reborn have to settle with joke items and crackers for now. He also put on silencer on his gun. He made sure to aim to spots that can easily be hidden under clothes, just in case of bruisings. Setsuna was able to avoid all his bullets so far. She fell victim to the whoopee cushion and the tiny electrocution device.

Setsuna lay down the rules to him last night after dinner. Reborn is responsible to keep his bedroom clean. There must absolutely no traps or attacks in the bathrooms. Reborn is not to pull any stunts during off/on ice training and ballet practice. He will pay for board and his own food, because Setsuna eats a lot (she need all those carbs and calories) and she's on a tight budget. Under no circumstances should he touch everything Setsuna owned that is ice skating related, which includes gifts from fans.

(There is a jumbo sized stuffed duck in Setsuna's bedroom. A couple music boxes, watercolour paintings, more stuffed duck wearing custom made outfits, preserved flowers, teddy bears, Donald and Daisy Duck plushies, etc. All from her fans. Setsuna has a special shelves where she put all those gifts for display.)

Last night Setsuna show him her planner. Her schedule is packed . Putting aside training hours and university, Setsuna is scheduled to attend various events. Guest starring at local radio talk show, meetings with sponsors, photoshoot for magazines, shooting for P*cari commercial, exhibitions and so on. Talk about busy.

They run past a billboard with Setsuna's face on it. It's a toothpaste ad. Setsuna is holding a toothpaste tube and smiling. Last night, while Setsuna is in the showers, he browsed the internet from his phone. There are videos of Setsuna skating in previous competitions. There's commercials too. Sweets, air conditioning, pain relieving cream and amusingly, detergent. Those are the most famous ones. Reborn wonder how many more ads or commercial Setsuna had starred in.

How in the world did Vongola missed this?

Iemitsu is one thing, but Setsuna competed in the Olympics. Someone must have watched her and noticed her surname. There are innocents killed because they share the same name as the intended target. With how much exposure Setsuna put herself into with her accomplishment, it's a downright miracle that nothing happened so far.

...Right?

Another thing to be added to his list for further research.

Reborn have gathered that Setsuna is a local celebrity when he found a package of Namimori Special Senbei with her face on it. They went to the convenience store last night on their way home from the rink. Setsuna and a couple other skaters stayed behind to help smooth the ice after practise, so they reached home a bit late.

Setsuna's face suddenly lit up and she waved at someone. On the opposite direction, someone dressed in white and yellow is running towards them. They waved back. When the figure got near, Reborn found himself looking at First Sun Guardian Knuckle lookalike.

"Good morning, Ryohei-kun," She greets the teenager warmly.

"EXTREME good morning to you too, Setsuna-nee!" This boy is practically brimming with Sun Flame. Ryohei look at Reborn. "EXTREME good morning!"

"Ciaossu." This boy is a good candidate for the Sun Guardian position.

"Reborn, this is Sasagawa Ryohei-kun, Kyouko-chan's younger brother. Ryohei-kun, this is Reborn and his partner Leon. They will be staying with me for awhile."

"EXTREMELY nice to meet you two!" Ryohei said excitedly. "Setsuna-nee, I have to EXTREME finish my EXTREME run and go back home."

Setsuna nodded. "We have to go back too. See you tomorrow, Ryohei-kun."

"EXTREME! Again, it's EXTREME nice to meet you, Reborn-san and Leon! See you tomorrow!" The boy waved at them before running off.

"He sure is an energetic one," Reborn commented as they watched his white-and-yellow figure disappear around the corner.

"He has been like that since he's a baby . Not many people can keep up with him, even though Ryohei-kun is a very sweet boy. Everyone was so relieved when he channeled all those energy to sport. Ryohei-kun is the captain of his school's boxing club."

The boy already know how to fight. Good to know.

"Let's go back, Reborn," Setsuna told him, already turning around.

He nodded and follow her lead.


After they finished their morning run, Setsuna head straight to the bathroom. Reborn brew a pot of coffee for them both. Reborn went to take a shower while Setsuna prepare breakfast from them both. Her cooking is good, though according to her, Nana is so much better. Reborn had heard Iemitsu lamenting that he missed his wife's cooking so it must be true. She has morning class scheduled today so Setsuna took off after breakfast. Reborn followed her.

Setsuna is a third year student at Midori University, one of the universities in the area. She majored in Communication. According to his research, Midori University is the toughest one to get into in the area. Setsuna is able to keep up decent grades, despite how busy she is. When he checked her bedroom, Reborn found dictionaries of English, French, Chinese and Russian amongst the books Setsuna owned.

"I am confident in my English. Kyouko-chan and Masumi-sensei roped me into learning French. Coach Maeda is a fluent Chinese speaker. Russian is a bit harder than the rest but many great skaters come from Russia so it will be easier to hold conversations with them if I know how to speak their language," Setsuna said to him when Reborn asked her.

Reborn added Italian to Setsuna's learning material.

His student is seated on the front row, books laid open in front of her. She also brought a recorder so she can listen to her lecturer's explanation again later. The look of focus on Setsuna's face cause Reborn to pause. It's a different look of focus compared to when she was on ice. It's still nice to see though. If only Dino is as focused as her when he was still Reborn's student.

He waited for Setsuna outside the cafeteria once class ended. Setsuna sit down on one of the benches and take out her bento. Reborn plopped next to her. "Ciaossu."

"Hello, Reborn," She greets him casually. "Were you observing me during class? I thought I sensed someone staring at me."

"I was."

"Thank goodness. I thought it was another admirer," She sighed before taking a bite of her sausage.

"Ran into trouble with fans before?"

"There were a couple of… Overenthusiastic ones, shall we say. I got weird gifts sometimes. Coach Maeda and Hibari-kun took care of them."

"Hibari-kun?" She couldn't possibly mean Hibari Kyouya, couldn't she? The sole son of the Hibari Clan. Fon's great nephew.

"Yes. Hibari Kyouka-kun. He formed the Disciplinary Committee a couple years ago. When I won my first Grand Prix, the press won't leave me alone for weeks. Coach Maeda was pissed when they crowded the front entrance. They even waited at the emergency exits. Hibari-kun and his Disciplinary Committee swoop in to maintain order. After that we never had any trouble with the press, much less paparazzis. They knew better than to disturb peace in Namimori unless they want to be 'bitten to death'. That's Hibari-kun's catchphrase."

Hibari Kyouya fit the definition of a Cloud to a T.

"He was annoyed with all the trouble that came along with me winning the Grand Prix at first. But I agreed to promote Namimori special products in exchange. That's how my face ended up all over town," Setsuna laughed.

After Setsuna finished lunch, they head home. She has another ballet lesson after this and they they will head to the rink afterward.

"We need to see Masumi-sensei first," Setsuna said to him after she locked her apartment. "To tell her what we told Coach Maeda yesterday."

"She won't be pleased I take it."

"No, she won't," Setsuna admitted. "But if you don't give her any reason to hate you, she will warm up to you eventually."

"Luckily for me, I do ballet as well."

Setsuna looked at him curiously. "You do ballet?"

Reborn smirked. "A hitman has many skills."


As they predicted, Masumi-sensei is not amused at all. They are in their office. Masumi-sensei looking at Reborn in disapproval. Reborn's face blank. Setsuna keep looking at the other two with worry. She asked the same questions Coach Maeda asked them yesterday. Is there no way out of this? What will Reborn teach her? Will there be more mafioso coming to Namimori in the future? Did Iemitsu really forgot his own daughter's age?

Each answer cause her frown to deepen.

"You won't get in the way of Setsuna-chan's training?" Masumi-sensei asked, eyeing Reborn like a hawk.

"I won't," Reborn promises her. "While we can't do anything about the situation, I understand that Setsuna take her training and career seriously. Nothing I say or do will change her mind. I respect that. I assure you, I won't get in the way."

And now to hit the nail.

"Figure skaters and ballet dancers put so much effort in their work. I admire that about them, considering I do ballet as well."

There. Masumi-sensei looked interested now.

"You do ballet as well?" She asked. Thankfully, she didn't ask how is it possible with his infant body.

"Yes," Reborn nodded. "I can show you now if you want."

It's too good to pass up. Masumi-sensei looked at Setsuna. The younger woman nodded. She return her gaze to Reborn. "Very well. Show me that you do understand."

In the locker room, Reborn changed to a pink ballerina outfit and pointe shoes. He put on a wig to perfect his appearance. Neither women blinked when he came out looking like that. They went to an empty studio.

"What would you like me to do?" Reborn asked the senior dancer.

"What can you do?" She asked him.

"I can do everything fairly well."

They raised an eyebrow at his answer.

Masumi-sensei considered it for a moment before lifting her chin high. "Let's settle this with a fouette face off."

Eyes widening, Setsuna turn to her ballet instructor. "Masumi-sensei?"

"Maeda-san and I have been watching over Setsuna-chan for years. We watch her smile, cry, stumble, grow up. We might as well be her parents," Masumi-sensei give Reborn a sharp look. "I want to see how serious you are. Are you worthy to be Setsuna-chan's teacher, Reborn?"

He couldn't lose now could he? Not when his credence as a teacher is being staked here.

"I accept," Reborn nodded.

They have ten minutes to warm up. Setsuna and a bewildered ballet instructor (her class finished just now) will be the judges. Setsuna is holding up her phone, recording the whole thing.

"Start at the count of three," Setsuna raise her free hand. "One." Masumi-sensei and Reborn looked at each other. "Two." They break off eye contact. Each looking determined. "Three!"

They started at the same time.

Reborn knows his body well, even if he's trapped in a form he never asked for. It was a pain in the ass to relearn everything after he was turned to a baby, but it pays to keep trying . He can do this.

It's starting to get difficult after the twentieth spin. But Reborn keep his cool. It's nothing to fret about.

Come the thirtieth spin. Just two more. One-

His body screamed in protest and Reborn had to stop. He almost had it!

He looked at his left. Masumi-sensei is still spinning. She passed the 32th mark! How much more spinning does she want?!

After forty spins, Masumi-sensei finally stopped.

Setsuna and the ballet instructor have their jaws hanging. Was it because Reborn managed to do thirty-one spins? Despite his baby bod? Or was it because Masumi-sensei pulled off not the standard thirty-two but forty spins?

Reborn looked up and meet Masumi-sensei's gaze. "I lost. You are a terrific dancer."

Setsuna (who is still recording) and the ballet instructor (who still have that 'WTF is this but I will go along the ride for now' face) turn to see how Masumi-sensei react.

The senior dancer looked at Reborn long and hard before nodding. "You're not bad yourself."

Reborn smiled.

Setsuna let out the breath she've been holding this whole time.


They have off ice training today. Cardio and fitness training. They look into core strength, stability stamina, balance, and flexibility. Some of the skaters have gathered in the training room, where various sports equipment have been prepared for them. Trainers and physicians are nearby to guide and help. Nagi and a few of the younger skaters greeted Reborn when they see him. Coach Maeda is present in the room. Reborn think it's because he didn't quite trust him yet.

Reborn is content to just watch though. With the physical training she has right now, he can scratch 'core training' from his training plan. Setsuna already has good foundation. She will be able to withstand Flame training. Combat shouldn't be a problem as well. They just need to find the style that suits her. Kicking would come easy to her. She already has such strong legs. Too bad they are needed for skating. Reborn has seen the state of her feet last night when she took of her socks. They are covered in blistered. He don't want to add more pressure to them. The thighs though. Setsuna's thighs are so well muscled, she could kill a man by squeezing his head between them. That or death by suffocation. Reborn want to see if she really can do that. He need to buy a cantaloupe or watermelon to test this theory.

Another thing that catch his interest is Nagi. Setsuna is Courting her without realising it. Both girls' Flames are Locked but that doesn't stop the partial bond from forming. Setsuna seems to be closer to Nagi out of every athlete present in the room. She is friendly and kind to everyone, especially the kids but she tend to talk more to Nagi. It's obvious to see that the younger girl look up to Setsuna. She listens to her attentively and her eyes light up when Setsuna turn her attention to her. Maybe the blue haired girl has a crush on her as well. Nagi feels like a Mist. Reborn don't know her well enough to to see if she is fit for the Mist Guardian position. This is only the second day. They still have time.

They move the training to the ice. Coach Maeda is giving his attention to the younger skaters. The Junior Grand Prix will start on August. The younger skaters, Nagi included, show off their new routines one by one. Nagi will turn 13 this December, so she is not qualified to compete in the Grand Prix. At least they still have the Novice and inter-club competitions. While it is not exactly the same as Grand Prix or Worlds, it's still good for the younger skaters to have experience in competing internationally.

Reborn noted that Setsuna is the older skater here. The second oldest is a first year in high school and she haven't debuted in Senior yet. There are around twenty children under 10 in this place. It makes sense if so many parents signed up their children at the same club as a skater with Setsuna's caliber. They are hoping that she will rub off on them. It's cute to see them follow Setsuna around like ducklings.

Nagi is skating to the Dance of the Willis by Adolphe Adam. She, Reborn noted, did well to emulate spectres. Her movements have certain delicacy in them.

Coach Maeda regard Nagi carefully. "You need to work on your jumps. Your timing is still a bit behind. Otherwise, you did good."

The elderly man must have not give out compliments often, judging from the way Nagi's eyes shine.

Next to Reborn, Setsuna smiled. "Fantasy and fairytales are Nagi-chan's specialty after all."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, Nagi-chan skated to Sleeping Beauty's Miettes qui Tombent two years ago. There's also the La Sylphide from last year. Nagi-chan told us she want to use Rise of the Valkyrie and Schubert's String Quartet in D Minor in the future."

"The last one is also known as Death and the Maiden ." What a unique child. And she's almost 13?

"Nagi-chan is whimsical in her own way," Setsuna chuckled. "Her playlist did made us worried but that's just how she is." They watch Nagi skated towards her peers. They congratulate her for getting Coach Maeda's approval. Nagi give them a shy smile in return.

Now that the teenagers are finished, the little ones can return to the ice.

"Maybe I should join them," Reborn said.

"Reborn, no. You'll crush those kids' hopes and dreams."


Setsuna

Hana

Wtf

Is that a baby?

Kyouko

40 Fouette! That's our Masumi-sensei

Hana

KYOUKO

WE KNOW MASUMI-SENSEI IS AWESOME

BUT

IT'S A BABY DOING FOUETTE

31 SPINS

WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS KID

Setsuna

This is Reborn. He is sent here from Italy to 'tutor' me

Iemitsu sent him

Hana

Say what now

Kyouko

THAT Iemitsu?

Setsuna

Yes. My No Good sperm donor

Turns out he's been living in Italy this whole time

He's part of the mafia

Hana

I FUCKING KNEW IT

Does this means that baby is mafia

What

Idk anymore

EXPLAIN

Setsuna

We need a video call for this

Kyouko

Calling!

The green call button pop up on her screen. Setsuna clicked it. The faces of her best friends pop up. Judging from the backgrounds, they are in their bedrooms.

"Sawada," Hana's eyes is fixed on her. "Start from the beginning."

So Setsuna told them what happened yesterday and today. From Reborn visiting her childhood home first, her family's history, Coach Maeda's and Masumi-sensei's reactions. She didn't left out anything, which of course include the fact that Iemitsu forgot her actual age.

"That's not nice," Kyouko said after Setsuna finished her story. "No kids should ever go through something like that."

"We've established from a long time ago that Iemitsu is shit," Hana said flatly. "But you're right. No kids, no matter how bratty they are, deserved what Iemitsu did to you. Hell, does he have selective memory or something?"

Setsuna shrugged.

"So what are you going to do if you two meet?" Hana asked her. "If he's going to drag you into this mess, you two will eventually cross path. I for one, would want to see you give him the beating he deserves. It's long overdue."

"To be honest, it slipped my mind until you remind me again," Setsuna admitted. "I rather focus on my studies and skating you know? And to survive whatever Reborn throws at me. He didn't use real bullets but it still hurt." She rubbed the spot where Reborn shot her last night. "This whole thing is crazy… Reborn is a baby… Dwarf… I'm sure there's a medical term for it. But he's been reasonable so far."

"He better stay that way, or I'll stomp on him with my brand new pumps," Hana said grimly. She show the other two girls the shoes in questions. They spend the next few minutes admiring it. Then Hana remember something. "Where is that baby anyways?"

"He's out in the balcony. I don't know what he's doing," The brunette shrugged. "Enough about me. How are you two?" Setsuna asked, leaning back to the coach. She is wrapped in her favourite blanket. She is drinking warm tea. She is talking with her best friends. This is cozy. This is relaxing.

"I'm doing well!" Kyouko smiled. "The Nightingale and the Rose is a huge success! I have so much fun! So many guests attended Dance With The Dancers! This year's theme is Lost in Translation: Tokyo-oke is well received as well! It's tough here but I have so much fun!"

Setsuna and Hana grinned hearing that.

"I'm doing okay," Hana starts. "Classes went fine. My partner and I got a into a small argument earlier today but we're used to it now. I can handle him. We'll fix this before the competition."

"That's our Hana-chan. Always so assertive." Kyouko chuckled. "What about your skating, Setsuna-chan? Have you thought of this year's theme yet?"

"Nope. I have nothing yet."

"You'll think of something," Kyouko said to her kindly.

"We're here if you need anything," Hana continued.

Setsuna smiled. "You two are the best. What's a girl going to do without her best friends?"

"Let's be real. Life would suck."

The three young women share a laugh. Setsuna's smile widen.

"Something on your mind, Setsuna-chan?" Kyouko asked.

"This whole mafia mess made me think of the past. We've gone through so much. And here we are," Setsuna motioned to the screen. "Hana-chan is in Tokyo and competing overseas. Kyouko-chan is with the NYC Ballet company. And there's me. Who would've thought that little girl who come dead last in her first competition would win the Grand Prix."

Hana shakes her head. "Setsuna. You were nine. Stop beating yourself over that."

"We did gone through a lot," Kyouko acknowledged. "But those things made us who we are today. And now? Now we're living our dreams," Kyouko said.


Sunday is Setsuna's resting day. On Sundays, Setsuna visit Nana at her childhood home for brunch and spending time with her. Reborn look forward for this. He want to see if there's any blackmail materials he can use against his new student. Nana's cooking is apparently to die for, another thing Reborn is looking forward to.

"Tsu-chan! Reborn!" Nana beamed at the sight of them at the front door. "You're right on time! Help me serve the food?"

The amount of food Nana prepared could feed five people. But it's so delicious Reborn asked for third helpings. Reborn have learned that Setsuna eat a lot, thanks to her training, but apparently she inherit Iemitsu's big appetite. Of all things she take after her father…

Reborn slipped out the kitchen while mother and daughter do the dishes together. He never had the chance to explore the house due to the revelation of Setsuna's real age. Sawada home is normal enough, a typical civilian home.

He went upstairs.

The first room he found is Nana's so Reborn closes the door and move onto the next room. It's Setsuna's. Her room is also typical for a civilian. There are no giant stuffed duck though. Reborn found medals and certificates in her closet. Must be from her Novice and Junior days. There's also a few garment bags. Most likely her costumes when she was a child. There are a few shoe boxes in the back. They are ballet shoes and skates. When there is nothing else left, Reborn put them back where he found them and shut the closet.

He checked the shelves next. There are cassette tapes, CD cases, old magazines and books. When he searched the lower levels, he found the photo albums. Reborn smirked. Bingo.

The first album he opened was from around the time Setsuna was in kindergarten. She is wearing a pink uniform and her hair is tied to pigtails. Setsuna and Nana at the theme park. Setsuna in the bathtub playing with her rubber ducky. Setsuna playing with her dolls. Reborn noted that Setsuna is alone in most of these pictures. Nana must be the one behind the camera.

When he flip to the next page, it is filled with photos of Setsuna doing the ballet. The one that catch Reborn's eye is the photo of Setsuna together with Kyouko and Hana. They are dressed in the same pink leotards and their hair tied to a bun. There's Masumi-sensei correcting Setsuna's posture. The girls watching cartoon together (the screen shows a ballerina dancing). The girls dancing at their very first recital. The girls admiring an older ballerina standing on her toes. The three girls playing at the playground. Setsuna and Nana at what seems to be a sushi restaurant.

And then there is the photo of Setsuna entering elementary school. Nana is standing next to her. The girls having a sleepover. Masumi-sensei fixing Setsuna's hair at the dressing room. Must be another recital. Setsuna, Kyouko and Hana at the summer festival, wearing yukatas.

Setsuna at the ice rink. She looks so happy. This must be her first time ice skating. There are a few more shots of her skating. Even her first fall.

A picture of Kyouko holding a baby. Hana and Setsuna sitting her sides. That baby must be Ryohei.

Another baby picture. It's not Ryohei. They're back at the sushi restaurant again. Setsuna is holding the baby's tiny fist. The baby's mother is a dark haired mother. She and Nana exchanged a look of amusement.

Setsuna at her 7th birthday. She is blowing the candles. Kyouko and Hana giving Setsuna her presents. Setsuna crying tears of joy when she received her first skates. (Who was it from, Reborn wonders.)

Setsuna at the ice rink with her brand new skates.

Setsuna with Coach Maeda. Oh, so this is when she start training under Coach Maeda's tutelage. She looked so serious here.

Setsuna at her first competition. She is dressed in an orange dress. A fairy maybe?

Reborn flipped through the pages.

The girls in front of Namimori Middle School. Hana teaching her friends the waltz. Kyouko dancing the Nutcracker as the Sugar Plum Fairy. Setsuna at the National Japan Junior 1998. Coach Maeda and Setsuna at Osaka. Coach Maeda lifting Setsuna. Setsuna showing Masumi-sensei her choreography. Masumi-sensei putting showing the girls how to use an eyeliner.

Coach Maeda and Setsuna at the airport. They are at the gift shop buying presents. Canada, judging from the flag magnet Setsuna is holding.

Setsuna playing catch with a black haired boy at a field somewhere.

Setsuna and Coach Maeda at the London Bridge. Setsuna standing next to a Palace Guard.

The girls baking a cake at the kitchen. Ryouhei is there too. His face is completely covered with flour.

The girls at their middle school graduation. The girls playing DDR at the arcade. Another sleepover. Setsuna receiving brand new pair of skates. Hana dressed to the nines as she about to compete. The girls posing like Charlie's Angels.

Setsuna and Coach Maeda with new students at the ice rink. Coach Maeda carrying around a large stuffed duck with Setsuna giggling at the background. Coach Maeda hugging Setsuna at the Kiss and Cry. Ryohei, Setsuna and Hana hugging a teary Kyouko. It must be when she received the news that she won the Prix de Lausanne.

Masumi-sensei and Setsuna at the Kiss and Cry. When is this picture taken? Where is Coach Maeda?

Setsuna together with skaters with different nationalities. Reborn recognised a few them. Evgeni Plushenko, Sasha Cohen, Stephane Lambiel, Johnny Weir, Kevin van der Perren.

Setsuna at the podium, holding up her silver medal.

Iemitsu has absolutely no idea what he's been missing.

"Reborn?" Setsuna stood at the doorway. "Are you in there?"

"I'm here," Reborn look up to her. "I'm just looking at your childhood albums."

"It's been awhile since I Iast saw these," Setsuna take a seat next to Reborn. "Brings me back."

"There are no pictures of Iemitsu," Reborn observed. "When was the last time you saw him?"

The brunette frowned. "When I was- Before?- five, I guess. I remember around that time a strange man coming to our house. Kaa-san called him 'Anata'. He was loud. He spent most of his time sleeping, sprawling on the floor or couch. I prefer him sleeping, because when he's awake, he kept bothering me. Spinning me around and around until I'm sick. I was so relieved when he left. I never missed him. I wondered about him when I was older. But I never really missed him." Setsuna shrugged.

Five years old. Seventeen years ago. Reborn wonder when exactly Iemitsu married Nana. He heard about it second hand. Lal Mirch was the one who told him. One day, Iemitsu bellowed that he missed his wife and child. Lal Mirch asked what the hell is he talking about. That was when Iemitsu told her that he has a family in Japan. If he didn't tell anyone years after his wedding, what else could he be hiding? Reborn has a nasty suspicion that he didn't even tell Nono until a few years passed.

"Penny for your thoughts, Reborn?"

"Setsuna," Reborn regard her seriously. "What are you going to do about Iemitsu? You two will meet sooner or later..."

She thought for a moment. "Everyone is under the impression that I'm a middle schooler?"

"Yes. That's what Iemitsu told everyone. He is the head of CEDEF. People won't doubt his words."

"Then let him be," Setsuna said. "His delusions will catch up to him. The mafia will discover my true age eventually. Iemitsu will have to deal with the mess that he started. To be perfectly honest with you, I would love to see the look on his face when he realised just how wrong he is about me. About everything," She smirked.

Reborn try to picture it in his head and smirked. Serve that idiot right.

"So does this mean you're the only one from the mafia who knows my true age?" Setsuna asked, curious. Reborn nodded. "Then Vongola is in for a huge surprise."

He pictured the look of outrage on Lal Mirch's face when she discover just how much they missed. How Iemitsu's idiocy crossed the boundaries of madness. And they live in a world of magical flames and time travelling weapons.

"All those chaos," Reborn murmured.

"They deserve it," Setsuna shrugged her shoulders. "The Vongola is not as great as they claim to be if they can't even keep track of one Olympic athlete."


Of course Reborn can do ballet. He wouldn't be Reborn otherwise.

I am neither a dancer or a skater, so if there are any technical mistakes in this fanfic, I apologise. The scoring will be a nightmare to breakdown.

The timeline in KHR is weird. I'm relying on the internet to guide me through this. Same goes to figure skating seasons. Wikipedia is not the best source to go but it'll do for now.

Yes, the figure skaters mentioned above are real skaters. The figure skating world is a small one, so it's not impossible that Setsuna met them. This is a fanfic though so don't yell at me. There will be more mentions of real life people in the future.

This fan fiction is also posted in AO3
