Chapter 3:

Smaller Hana was curled up in her bed. She appeared sleeping soundly if not for the frown that marred her tiny face. She scrunched up her face as if having a nightmare. Soft mumbling could be heard from her small form on the bed.

Suddenly Hana woke up screaming, the blood curling sound echoing throughout the claustrophobic room. But the guards outside her room made no move to assist her. She kept yelling for help and reaching out her hand as if wanting someone to catch her.

She stopped her screaming when she realizes that no one would come to her. She went out of her bed and walked towards the door. But then she stopped as if having a second thought. Instead she glanced at the direction of the only window in the room.

Confusement painted her fearful face at the sound. She changed her direction towards the window and about to reach the knob when she stopped. Her head was swirling whether she should open the door or not. Deciding the former, she reached for the knob again and pulled the window open.

As soon as she open the window, there was a...

Hana suddenly woke up from her not so comfortably slumber. Memories of last night playing back as if a movie, making her aware of her surrounding, she almost push the panic button. Looking around, she was shocked that it was tidy. She was expecting a dirty room like her old one. Shaking away those memories, she looked at the door as it was being opened.

Expecting some big and gruffy man to escort her to received her punishment, Hana was surprised when she saw that it was her senpai who went in.

As soon as her eyes landed on Hana, Katomi practically ran towards her and advancing to give her a bear hug. Having not enough oxygen, Hana begged her senpai to let her go.

Catching as much breath as she can before she was glomped again, Hana asked. "What happen yesterday, Katomi-senpai?" Katomi was taken aback at that. Nonetheless, she knew what the confused brunette could be referring to.

"When I managed to catch up with you, it was already to late." remembering the events when she was sort of shot in the neck, Hana nodded. "I tried to chase them, but considering they were much bigger and stronger, not to mention fast too," Hana almost giggled when Katomi mumbled something like, "How can they be so much faster when they were fatter than me?" But she refrain herself. "that's when Hibari-kun came. He was on the way home and accidently stumbled on them."

Hana nodded again to assured the older girl that she was listening. "When he saw you, I'm pretty sure of that just he won't admit it, he took them down in one shot." Katomi spoke of Hibari with much admires Hana smiles. But she also realizes that there was a little hint of dissapointment in there.

The younger brunette looked y\up into Katomi's eyes. "Arigatou ne, Katomi-senpai. For helping me." Katomi was touched at those words. She glomped Hana again and apologize when her source of oxygen was cut off.

They were walking towards the living room of the mansion after Hana recover from her oxygen loss. Katomi kept apologizing at Hana.

Reaching the room, Hana stopped in her track. She stood rooted to the ground when she saw the raven haired man. The brunette almost ran away again, but the firm grip the other brunette held on her assured her that nothing will happen.

Smiling inwardly, Hana used up all her courage to step into the room.

The raven male was staring at her with his intimidating gaze and Hana could not help but squirmed. They had been discussing about letting Hana stay in Japan and he can't help but being annoyed at not getting what he wants.

"You should listen to me and go back to Italy, young women." He said sternly. Hana glared at him but he does not get intimidated by it. In fact he was amused that Hana could glare at him. Nana was sitting across him in the room. She has a thoughtful look on her bright face.

Every occupants in the room was shock when he announce that he was Hana's father, Antonello. He was sure of it. If the size of their eyes change into a saucer pan did not indicate anything. He almost laughed at their expression but he need to keep in tact in order to save his cold reputation.

"Are you really Hana-chan's father?" Nana asked curiously from her seat. Antonello looked at her in amusement. 'Can't believe she remembered me.' He thought to himself. "Of course I am her father Nana-san. I did took care of her since she was just a little girl." He replied in those cold voice.

Hana suddenly stood up from her chair. "No." Her voice was stern and full of emotion. She glared at him again, but unlike the former, this time, he almost move back a little, almost, he has reputation after all.

Katomi sighed heavily and stared at the mahogany door in front of her. They were all asked, more like kicked out of the room to give space for Hana to resolve her problem with her father. Katomi knew that much, and she respected their request. But, why did her mom stay inside as well? She sighed again, softly this time.

Tsuna kept glancing her sister direction, and understand her worriness. He was worried for Hana too. He managed to get a glimpse of his mother reaction when Hana opposed the older man. To say she was surprised was an understatement. Her reaction was a mixture of recognition and confusion. What he didn't know was why? Why did his mother shows that expression as if she knew something they don't? All of the thinking is making my head hurt. Clucthing his head he shook it gently. It was time to investigate.

After a few minutes, Katomi asked them to go back to their own room. 'Ugh, I need to see Hibari-kun about this. He'll know what to do.' She did a mental note to herself. Glancing one last time at the lounge room only one thought running in her head. 'Who are you actually Hana-chan?'
