The visit to the park is postponed until the next day, because of my catatonic state after the... reveal. That night, after mother wishes me good night, I couldn't sleep, my brain constantly filled with what if's and how's.
I sighed and accepted that I'll probably won't be getting enough sleep for tomorrow, and sat up. Deciding what I'm going to do with my life.
I'm going to be a Mafia Boss, that's an event I couldn't stop, because the Vongola definitely wouldn't except information from a two year old.
But, what if my change of gender affects the inheritance? There is a female Vongola boss before, but that's because she's already trained to be a boss when she was a child.
I am a civilian, the original Tsuna was also a civilian, but because of his lack of information about the Mafia, it causes a few problems, mainly Flames. And his lack of training and knowledge makes - not a few, mind you - people injured, and die.
I groaned and tiredly wiped my face, all of the possibilities about my new life nearly overwhelming me.
Okay, if I decided to not be a Mafia boss, I'll lead a regular life as an ordinary civilian, or assasinated by being associated with the Vongola, and the Vongola would probably be destroyed by Xanxus.
But if I want to be a Mafia boss, I'll get Sky Flames, I'll have to train hard, I'll meet my Guardians, I'll be trained by Reborn, and potentially save a group of the most powerful people in the world.
...the latter option is becoming more and more interesting the longer I think about it.
I sighed and leaned into the mountain of pillows on my bed, in my last life, I already lived an ordinary life as an ordinary citizen.
I don't think I want to go through it again...
I let out a breath and sat up, "It's settled then, I'm going to be a Mafia boss," I muttered.
Priority one, I need to learn to protect myself.
And definitely with a style I'm comfortable with, so no boxing and the 'Fighting with gloves' the original Tsuna did won't work on me. So I had to find something more fitting for a female body.
But, I think, gazing at the clock hanging in my room, time to think that tomorrow. I layed down and burrowed under the covers.
I need to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up early and did my usual stretching routine, and then brushed my blonde hair into a ponytail. I then go downstairs, meeting my cheerful mother halfway to the stairs, "Oh! I was about to call you down, good morning!" she chirped.
"Morning," I answered with less fervour, "We're going to the park, right Okaa-chan?" I noticed the coat my mother is wearing.
"Yes, go grab your jacket, it's really cold outside," she stated, turning and walking down the stairs happily. A soft smile crossed my face, and I walked to the rack that kept various coats and jackets, and picked up a dark orange jacket.
After I put it on, I also wear a pair of boots to protect my feet from the cold air, just as my mother approached me, "Ready to go?" she asked, I nod exitedly and intertwined my hand with hers, a grin blooming on my face.
My mother smiles and opened the door, the chilly autumn air brushing my hair. As we walked to the direction of the park- or what I think is the direction of the park- I kept turning my head, observing the neighborhood I lived in.
Mother seems to be popular though, with a lot of people greeting her as we passed, I just cutely smiled at the various people we passed, trying to win their hearts.
I think it's successful though, judging by the coos and the many people pinching my cheeks.
And as we passed a couple of shops, there is something worth noting, a Manga store.
I was practically drooling at the store while having hearts for eyes, my mother noticed and giggles, "Do you like manga and anime too Tsuki-chan? " I nod vigorously, before proccesing the question, I snapped my head to my mother's face, "Okaa-chan likes anime too?" she nods.
"I actually found inspiration for your name from an anime character," she stated. That statement is what my brain is thinking about, all the way to the park.
It's not until I sat on one of the benches in the park, with my mother sitting beside me, that I blurted out, "You named me after Sailor Moon?" she seems startled for a second, before she recovers and laughes.
"As soon as I found out about your blonde hair, I immediately thought of Tsukino Usagi, but the name is too obvious, so I changed it to Tsukihime. Moon princess," she gestured to my hair.
"Wow..." I absentmindedly twirled my hair, a little proud that I'm named after an anime character.
"Ne, Tsuki-chan, Okaa-chan is going to talk with her friends, if you want to play, stay close, don't wander too far." I nodded, watching my mother going to another table full of mothers.
I hopped from the bench I've been sitting on and wandered around, observing the many children that's playing, the children my age seems to crowd on the sandbox while the older children plays on the jungle gym and slides.
With a minute of thinking, I decided to play near the sandbox, hopefully make some friends. I approached a young girl trying to build a castle out of sand, "Excuse me," the girl turned her attention to me, "Can I play here?" I make sure to give a radiant smile to her.
She grinned, "Sure," and turned back to making her castle. I sit beside her, absentmindedly twirling the sand on my fingers, observing the girl and the sand castle, after a side of the castle collapsed and I let out a giggle at her expression of annoyance, she seems to notice me again, her brow furrowed, "Why don't you play?" she asked.
I shrugged, "I don't have any tools to play with," it's true though, I don't know that there's a sandbox in the park, so I didn't bring any tools to play with sand.
After a couple of seconds of staring, the girl shrugged, "You can use mine," she gestured to a pile of tools to her other side. But before I can thank her, she spoke again, "You're smarter than the other children," she cocked her head to the side, and eyeing me like she saw me for the first time.
I sighed, "Is that really obvious?" I was hoping my intelligence doesn't make me an outcast to the other children, while my adult mind can probably ignore it if that happens, but my reputation will take a nosedive.
"Not really, it's just the way you talk, like an adult," I blinked at her, she actually caught that?
"Your observation skills are very sharp, you knew I have a higher intelligence from just that?" I was impressed, children her age usually have an attention span of a goldfish. The girl blushed, and turned her head to the side, shrugging, "My mother's a lawyer, and my dad's a scientist, I was taught from I was born to be observant,"
"You came from an intelligent family then, and, to answer the previous statement, I was like this from the day I was born," I'm not going to spoil my secret that easily, especially to a girl I just met.
She definitely doesn't believe my latter statement, but she led it slide. Something acurred to me, "I didn't know your name," I said. She flicked her eyes to me and I offered my hand, "I'm Sawada Tsukihime, a pleasure to meet you,"
She takes my hand, "Kurokawa Hana, nice to meet you too," she turned back to her previously ignored sandcastle and started building again, thankfully not noticing my shocked face and slack jaw.
"Do you just sit there, or are you going to help me?" Hana's question tapped me out of my stupor and I helped her building the castle, ignoring the revelation that I just talked to an anime character.
The sandcastle finally finished not long before my mother calls me to go home, I promised Hana that I will come back tomorrow to play with her again.
And as I go home, watching the sky turn orange with the sunset, I mused, it's been one hell of a day, I chuckled, at least I got a new friend.

A/N: Hey guys, so in this chapter I explained Tsukihime's name, and make her meet a canon character (Hana isn't what I originally had in mind for her to meet, but she slipped into this chapter and I can't get her out). There's a little backstory for Hana there, and that's it really. Thank you for your reviews and support, Happy Holidays.
