I have decided to go along with all of this. I mean, it's not every day you get to do something so very, very, out of the ordinary, do you?

Reborn told me to rest, because he said he wouldn't train me unless I had a working brain, which I thought was extremely non-sensical because if my brain did not work, how am I moving?

I agreed, at least there was some benefit in that, but when I came out of the bathroom wearing my pjs, Reborn had put on a night cap and snuggled into my bed.

I wanted to kick him out of it when I saw a note that was stuck to my bedside table.

Yumi,

Please do not disturb my sleep because you may die.

Reborn!

One look at the note, I took a few blankets and a pillow from my cupboard and set up a temporary bed on the floor. It was far from comfortable, but it was better than dying at the hands of a professional Hitman. I slowly drifted off to sleep, dreaming of bunnies and teddy bears and all things girly.

I heard a gun-shot and jumped out of bed. I looked around, my heart beating rapidly in my chest. Reborn was standing next to me, his gun still facing the ceiling. I looked up, and was greeted with a chunk of plaster that landed right in the middle of my head.

"Ow…" I held my head and felt a bump growing. "Reborn! What did you do that for?" I asked, steadying myself against the table. "You're going to be late. Hurry up or you'll die." He said, aiming the gun at me. "Alright, alright, I'll go change!" I raised my hands in surrender.

Reborn was drinking coffee again. I watched him as he took a sip, "Nana, this is the best coffee I've ever tasted." Mum said thank you and went back to washing the dishes. I didn't understand why she gave a baby coffee in the mornings. Then, I remembered how he tried to kill me with the plaster hitting my head and all.

"Yumi, you should go now if you don't want to be late." My mum said. I grunted and slung my backpack over my shoulder.

I walked out of the house into a bright, sunshiny neighborhood. I took a short-cut through an alleyway and reached another road that I had to follow to reach my school.

Reborn followed me, dipping in and out of the shadows. "Reborn, can you just walk normally?" I asked. He suddenly appeared at my side "Well, this is the kind of behavior you will have to learn. Since you're going to be a mafia boss." I sighed.

I was sort of regretting my decision. After all, I wanted to grow old and die a natural death, not of a gunshot to the head.

Soon, Namimori Middle School came into view. I walked in, checking my watch to see if I was late.

Look to your right. I turned my head to the right and saw a shadow disappear into some bushes.

I shivered and ran to my classroom. Everyone stopped what they were doing and started whispering dame-Yumi to everyone near them. I ignored them, as usual and soon they got tired of me and resumed their idle chit-chat. When I had taken my usual seat at the back of the class, Ms. Amore had something to say.

"Class, I have an announcement to make. We have a new student today and I want you to show him around and help him out." She said, beckoning for somebody outside the classroom to come in. A boy with white hair walked in, and soon everyone started whispering. He scowled and the class immediately grew quiet.

"Class, this is Gokudera Hayato. He is a transfer student from Italy." Ms. Amore said, telling Gokudera to take a seat. His eyes scanned the room and landed on me. I shivered as he walked towards the seat next to me, kicking my table over as he did so.

Somewhere in the classroom…

Reborn smiled. "Gokudera Hayato, eh? Looks like he's interested in the tenth boss of the Vongola. He would make a good addition to the family."

Back in my room

"What!?" I shouted, not believing what Reborn had just said. "I told you, I want Gokudera Hayato to be a part of your family." He said. "B-but what family? He's not related to me." I asked, very confused.

"Every mafia boss has a sort of family made to protect him. Gokudera is born from a mafia family so he should know that you are the tenth boss of the Vongola." Reborn said, flying around the room on a Leon-airplane.

"But he obviously doesn't like me a single bit! He glared at me all through school and I think he even followed me home!" I complained. Reborn sighed; nothing was ever easy for him. "That's the hard part. He's apparently disgusted that the tenth Vongola boss is a female. This means that I'll have to start your training." He said with a glint in his eye.

Five hours of vigorous training later

"Well, I think you've got the hang of it." Reborn said, putting his gun back in his pocket. I stared in wonder at the blue flames that were coating my hands.

Reborn had given me a ring with the Vongola crest on it and told me to put it on. He then told me to focus on something that I really care about. At first, I didn't understand what he meant. But after trying it out, the flames appeared on my hands and forehead.

Reborn had then taught me how to fire punches and how to move very quickly to avoid attacks. He said that the flame on my forehead was called the dying will flame.

"Now, you'll fight Gokudera tomorrow." He said. "Huh? But, how are we going to get him to fight me?" I asked, partially because I really didn't want to fight face to face with that guy. "Just leave it to me. By the way, he uses bombs as his weapon, so just try to avoid them."

I sighed. I had gotten used to Reborn's way of telling me something yet not telling me the whole thing. I got into bed and fell asleep, hoping that Gokudera would be absent the next day.
