I watched as Gokudera stared intently at the classroom door, suddenly he turned to Yamamoto with a glare.

"Are you sure Reborn-san said Tsuna walked ahead to school early?"

I noticed Yamamoto's grin slipped a bit a Gokudera's question. "Yeah, I'm sure. He said told me Tsuna had already left." I wasn't sure about interrupting their conversation, but I didn't want them to worry about Tsuna all day.

"Umm," Just as I started to get their attention, Gokudera turned his glare towards me. "You know where Juudaime is!?" Flinching a bit I responded. "I heard you say Reborn-san, that's the kid right? I ran into him on my way to school and he told me Tsuna wouldn't be at school today and that I should stop by his house this afternoon to work on our project."

Did he ever stop glaring at people? This wasn't exactly going as well as I planned. "You better not try anything funny with Juudaime today!" Was it too late to transfer to Yumei Private Middle School? I'm sure Shoichi would like it if I went to his school. "I was just planning to go over some ideas with him, since we need to pick a topic. I would never do anything to hurt Tsunayoshi."

As I spoke I looked Gokudera in the eye to get my point across. His eyes seem to soften just a bit and he glanced away in an annoyed fashion.

Yamamoto turned towards me with a bright grin. "Thank you for letting us know!" I smiled back at the boy before me. "You're welcome, you are really close right? I would be worried if I were you, too."

"Miyuki-chan!" I turned towards the voice calling my name."Yamamoto-kun!"

I watched as the baseball-lover ran to stand in front of me. I looked up at him as he smiled down at me. I wasn't much shorter than Tsuna so it felt like Yamamoto towered over me.

"Are you heading to Tsuna's house now? I can walk you there if you'd like."

"Well, I have to stop by my house first but it's on the way to Tsuna's if that's okay with you."

Yamamoto's grinned widened. "Yeah, that's fine."

We hadn't made it too far away from school when Gokudera caught up with us and headed towards Tsuna's house, too.

"You are partners for the project right? Have you decided what you'll do the project on?"

Gokudera grunted before replying. "The baseball idiot doesn't know anything about less-known historical facts or civilizations. I'm going to have to decide what we'll do it on."

Yamamoto rubbed the back of his head with a sheepish smile. "Since the topic is lesser-known history, we didn't really learn about that stuff in school before, I didn't think I would need to know about that stuff."

I nodded understanding his point. "Tsuna-kun didn't know much about the lesser known stuff either, I've chosen a few topics and I'll let him decided what we do it on."

I looked ahead seeing my house come into view. "That's my house! I'll drop off my things and explain to my mom that I'm going to Tsuna-kun's house. I'll be right back!" I walked through the small gate in front of the house and headed towards the front door.

"Mom?" I called out as I glanced around, staying within the door way.

"Ah, Miyuki, is your classmate here?" My mother walked from the living room.

"Ah no, he actually couldn't make it to school today. I just wanted to let you know I'm going to his place to work on our project." I placed my school bag down as a spoke and took out a few piece of paper that had some information for the project. "I'll be home later, is that okay?" I glanced up at my mother after getting the work from my bag.

"That's fine sweetheart."

I walked towards the Sawada house and knocked on the door, Gokudera and Yamamoto stood behind me. A few seconds later a woman with brown hair and warm brown eyes opened thedoor. "You must be Miyuki-chan! Reborn-chan told me you would be coming over today. My name is Sawada Nana it's nice to meet you, you can call me Mama everyone does." She smiled at me and the glanced behind me to Yamamoto and Gokudera. "I see everyone is here, Tsu-kun is in his room you can go ahead up."

I smiled at Tsuna's mother. "Thank you, it's nice to meet you too." I stepped into the house and slipped off my shoes, I turned to the boys behind me hoping they would lead the way to Tsuna's room.

Gokudera quickly headed for the stairs and Yamamoto smiled at me motioning for me to go ahead of him, smiling back I started to follow Gokudera up the stairs.

"Juudaime!" Gokudera knocked on the door before entering.

"Gokudera-kun! What are you doing here?" Tsuna questioned.

"You weren't at school today, and the baseball idiot said Reborn told him you had walked ahead."

I glanced in the doorway and made eye contact with Tsuna.

"Umm Reborn-san said you wanted me to come to your house after school to work on the project."

Tsuna looked confused as I spoke and I felt a bit worried.

"Reborn! Why did you invite her here?" I stepped back as Tsuna cried out, maybe I should head home. "Umm, I'm sorry I didn't realize you didn't want me here I'll just-"

I was cut off by the child. "Dame-Tsuna you're upsetting her and making her feel unwelcome you have a project to do right?"

Tsuna's eyes widened as he turned towards me. "I didn't mean that I don't want you at my house." He paused seemingly looking for the correct words.

"Gyahahaha Lambo-san is here!"

A child with an Afro and dressed in cow print suddenly ran into the room. The child suddenly pulled a pink grenade from his Afro. "Take this Reborn!"

As he threw the grenade towards Reborn, Tsuna freaked out. I had stepped further into the room when the child ran in. After I glanced at Tsuna's panicked face I quickly stepped forward and tossed the grenade out the window. Only a few seconds later I heard it explode. My eyes widened, I hadn't exactly thought it was real but seeing Tsuna panic like he did it was the first instinct to get rid of it… what exactly was going on?

"Haha; are we are playing the mafia game again?" Yamamoto laughed cheerfully.

Gokudera started screaming at the child in the cow print and another child ran into the room yelling out "Lambo, no!"

"You have good reflexes." I glanced beside me to see Reborn.

"What's going on?" I noticed Tsuna seemed to be thinking of an excuse. Reborn lowered his fedora over his eyes with a smirk.

"Saito Miyuki, you should join Tsuna's family."

"Reborn! Stop trying to get innocent people involved in this!"

I watched as Tsuna panicked before me. Didn't Yamamoto say something about a mafia game? I didn't really know what to think about everything happening around me.

"You study Bojutsu, you've been learning the techniques since you were seven yes?" Reborn's eyes seem to pierce me, all the doubts I had about him seemed to leave me, I knew for sure at that moment he wasn't just a child if he was even a child at all.

"I had planned to recruit you to join Tsuna's family at a later time, but it seems as though we were able to meet sooner than I planned."

Reborn had asked everyone except Tsuna and I to leave the room. After we were left alone, he explained about the mafia and Vongola, that Tsuna was a candidate to become the next boss.

"I guess I understand but, I'm only fourteen that's kind of a big decision, can I think it over before I give you any kind of answer?" I watched as Reborn smirked, somehow I felt like I'd already been trapped within his web. "Okay. You and Tsuna have a project to work on for now though, right?" With that said he walked out of the room, leaving me with Tsuna.

"Ah… Miyuki," a troubled look came across his face. "Don't worry about that right now. I've picked a few different civilizations and events that aren't well known I'll let you choose what we do, if you don't like any of them I can think of something else."

"So, we'll do it on the Osirian Civilization." I started talking about some random facts I knew about and what I thought we should focus on, after a minute I paused and noticed Tsuna was staring at me. I felt my face heat up meeting his gaze. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to carry on like that it must bore you."

I knew not many people were interested in history like me, I figured Tsuna must be one of them.

"No!" His eyes widened at my statement. "I was just admiring you- I mean you really love history don't you? I could see the passion in your eyes that's admirable." I smiled softly at him it seemed to me at that moment he was contradicting the nickname given to him, he certainly didn't seem like Dame-Tsuna.

Walking into my bedroom I headed towards my laptop.

Byakuran

Hello Miyu-chan~

You usually are online before now...

Miyuki

You know I have a life right? I can't always be online anyway I was at a friend's house working on a project then I ate dinner with my family before getting online tonight.

Byakuran

Are you implying I have no life Miyu-chan?

Miyuki

Huh? No...

Byakuran

So did you have fun at your friend's house?

I paused looking at the screen. I couldn't tell him about everything that happened. I didn't really know this guy… but then again, I wouldn't even be able to tell Shoichi about what happened today.

Miyuki

You could say that.

Byakuran

Is something wrong? You seem a bit distant...

I suppose I could share my marshmallows this one time to cheer you up ^.^

My fingers froze over the keyboard. I hadn't even been talking to him five minutes and I may have known him for a little over two months now but, he shouldn't be able to tell anything is wrong with me after only a few replies through a messenger.

Miyuki

Would you believe I don't really like marshmallows?

I'm okay, just a bit tired ^^'

Byakuran

Are you implying you don't like me since I'm a human marshmallow?

I rolled my eyes while smiling seeing his response.

Miyuki

Is that your new word? 'Implying'?

I thought you were 'fit'.

You should make up your mind.

Byakuran

I am fit; I'm a fit marshmallow like the ones you get in cereal!

It might be~

Miyuki

You know, I actually like those marshmallows…

Byakuran

Oh? Are you implying something? ^_~

Miyuki

I also like roasted marshmallows

Miyuki is currently offline.

So I decided to write this chapter in a different POV. I feel like you'll be able to understand Miyuki better this way, please tell me which way you prefer.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed...

I'm happy you like it ^^ And that everyone seems to be in character.
