Jump into the Real World! Chapter 4

I'm kind of worried about this chapter. I personally don't think the last chapter was my best. Geh. So far, Hibari and I-Pin have appeared. Get ready to welcome a new one~ And before I forget, make sure you guys read Amythestgirl1943's story Five Year Old Time Travelers. I'm beta-ing it, so free advertisement for her~

So, going back to my Christmas chapter, would you guys like to see any pairings? Like fluff or something like that. I can't really do yaoi, so that's a no-go. But Riza with anyone? Feel free to leave it in a review~

Disclaimer: The day the author/mangaka gives me KHR will be the day that chapters stop making themselves. I can't draw to save my life. So therefore, I don't own it.

"Hey Nathan?" Riza called out. She was sitting on her desk doing her homework. Curse Sundays. The mommy bodyguard appeared at her side in an instant. He didn't need to ask if she needed anything. She always, always, always needed something. "What do we do with Hibari? He can't just skip school, and we can't leave him here. He'll be bored and break our house." Nathan opened his mouth to say "So?" but Riza beat him to it. "That means you'll have to clean the house or buy another one." Touché. You win this round, Riza Fia Marie Renata. You win.

"I'll get him enrolled in a school then," Nathan said. Riza leaned back on her chair, rubbing her eyes.

"I feel like I'm doing paperwork," she sighed. "Do you think you'll get him enrolled fast enough for tomorrow?" Nathan nodded.

"Yep. Now where's my paycheck?" Nathan asked, smiling. Riza gave him a cold glare, scribbling the sum of money he earned for the month and handing him the check.

"…no good, money-grabbing, loitering pervert," Riza grumbled. Nathan hit her upside the head. She hissed in pain and scowled at him.

"Remember who takes care of you, child," he warned playfully. He walked out of the room.

"Remember who takes care of you, child," Riza mimicked. She spun in her swivel chair. Homework was boring. School was boring. Hibari was mean. Blah. How long has it been since Katekyo Hitman Reborn characters started showing up in her house? Two days? It felt like a month. Speaking of Hibari, where was he? Ah, well. He wouldn't bite her to death since she was doing her homework, right? I-Pin was leaving with Nathan to get a toy. The poor child would be bored just having a Fong doll to play with all the time. Plus, Riza secretly wanted to spoil the Chinese girl. I-Pin was one of the few tolerable KHR female characters, so she had Riza's instant respect. Now, to the homework…

"Gotta…stay…calm…" Lambo was sniffling under Tsuna's bed. It had an hour since the Chinese hitman (hitwoman?) went missing. Lambo was dying of boredom. He was wondering and crying over his missing friend, instead of plotting Reborn's downfall. He wasn't smart enough for that. Then again, neither were Tsuna and his friends who still haven't noticed him crying under Tsuna's bed.

"Hey, Juudaime? Have you noticed something off lately?" Gokudera asked. They were all gathered in Tsuna's room doing homework.

"Y-yeah. I don't know what exactly though," he mumbled. The nagging feeling at the back of his brain was getting a bit stronger.

"Haha, I'm sure you'll figure it out, Tsuna," his Rain guardian said. Yamamoto stretched his head and rested his hands behind his head. Even the "dense" guardian noticed something was off.

"Would you like me to help explain this problem?" Gokudera asked, glaring at Yamamoto. He tied his hair up and glasses clung onto his nose. Tsuna grimaced. Another extremely complicated explanation was heading his way. On the inside, his attention was turned to the nagging feeling in the back of his head…

Riza glared at the menacing sheet of paper in front of her. She breathed a week's worth of sighs, and spun lazily in her chair. Math was not her strongest point. It made no sense! Why the hell did she have to list down reasons to do something? Stupid logic. And was math really going to be helpful in the future? Like algebra? Basic counting was necessary, but were variables?

"Screw this. I'm doing this later," she exclaimed, giving the paper a final glare and muttering a string of curses under her breath. She walked into the bathroom, towels and clothes in hand. She needed a warm bath to help clear her head.

Riza leaned into the warm water. She had already washed her hair and body, and used this time to soak up the warmth. The fatigue that she had felt the past days began to wither away. Her nervous knots and anxieties began to unwind. She relaxed in the bath, the warmth washing away her worries. The door opened.

'Huh. I guess I-Pin came home. I wonder what toy she got?' she mused.

"Could you help me? I don't reall– I'M SO SORRY!"

'Wait. Wait a darned minute. I-Pin doesn't have a deep, manly voice. OH SHI-' Riza cursed.

"GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT!" she screeched. She reached for the closest thing to throw at the guy. A bar of soap. Lucky her. It pelted him on the back of his jacket. He turned to leave but tripped backward. Not forward. Backward. He let out a yell and his face made contact with what should have been Riza's chest. This was not happening. Not. Happening.

A crimson blushed stained her face, neck, and ears. She let out a glass-shattering shriek.

"I'M SO SORRY!" he yelled, struggling to get off her.

"JUST GET OUT!" This time, the man tripped out of the bathroom. Riza sighed.

'I might as well just change. Goodbye peace and quiet. I miss you,' she groaned. Her face found it difficult to lose the red staining her cheeks.

"H-here," Riza stuttered. She handed him a towel, still blushing. "Take off your jacket, or you might catch a cold." Dino nodded, taking off his jacket. Riza couldn't look away, a darker red coloring her cheeks. Why, why, why? What did she do to deserve this?

"Should I take off my cloth–" Dino began.

"NO. I-I mean, no. I'll get some clothes, so just wait." She turned to leave the room but hesitated. She turned to face him, a smile on her face that oozed of killer intent. "Oh. Before I leave, under NO circumstance should you touch anything NOR leave the room," she commanded. She jogged to Nathan's room to get some spare clothes.

Dino stared at the girl that just left. What exactly happened? All he did was open the bathroom door of the Sawada house and found himself in a different room. And he didn't mean to walk in on her, honest!

"H-here." The girl said, snapping him out of his thoughts. She handed him a plain blue t-shirt and jeans, which he gladly took. "I'm sorry if they aren't the right size." He gave the girl a grateful, full-blown sparkling smile. She blushed, which he found a little amusing.

"Thank you very much," he replied. She nodded stiffly.

"The bathroom's to your left. Once you're done, I need to talk to you," she said. Dino nodded and walked in. It was a different bathroom compared to the one the girl was in. He blushed slightly. Exactly how old was this girl? She didn't look that young, but not that old either. And he wasn't going to dwell on her chest size. He changed quickly, the clothes a perfect fit for him.

Romario noticed that his boss hadn't come out of the Sawadas' house yet. He shrugged, assuming that Dino was taking his time eating the delicious food of Sawada Nana.

"I guess this means I'm excused for the day," Romario whistled to himself. He grabbed his phone and called Dino's other subordinates. "Let's go KARAOKE~!" he shouted into the device. He heard cheers on the other end of the line. Shoving the keys into the car, he sped off into the distance…

"I'm done," Dino said. The girl turned to him and blushed a bit more. He still had that Italian charm after all, being a young Mafia boss.

"R-right. So can you tell me how you got here?" she asked. Dino nodded, closing his eyes and mulling it over. He could probably tell this girl the truth seeing as she hasn't asked about him yet nor freaked out about having a complete stranger in the house. He would still have to keep his guard up, just in case something happened though.

"So I was at Tsuna's house. He's my kid brother, but we're not related by blood. I was eating, but I seemed to have, uh, made a small mess." Riza rolled her eyes at the last statement, which went unnoticed. "I excused myself to the bathroom to clean up, but when I opened the door, I was in a completely different room. Then I opened another door where I, uh, walked in on you," he said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. Riza nodded. "That's about it, really."

"O-okay. I believe you, and I don't blame you," the girl said. "My name's Riza, by the way. Riza Fia Marie Renata, at your service," she curtsied. She studied the man standing before her, giving her a bright smile. "What I'm about to tell you will blow your mind. Are you ready?" she asked. Dino nodded, a bit nervous.

"So when you opened the door, you went into another dimension. I think. In this dimension, you, Tsuna, the Vongola, and all this mafia business about rings and boxes are fictional. Basically, you exist, but you don't exist as living beings here. Does that make sense?" Dino stood there shocked, slowly digesting this information. Another dimension? He had heard of parallel worlds with the whole Byakuran ordeal, but another dimension? And this girl looked completely serious. She didn't look like one of those people who would say, "Psych sucka! You just got pranked on NATIONAL TELEVISION!"

His second problem with what the girl said was information concerning rings, boxes, and the mafia. No normal child should know about the rings and their powers as well as boxes which were still being researched in his time. They especially shouldn't know about the various mafia families. He was suspicious. Was this girl dangerous? A threat to Tsuna, maybe?

"And what proof do you have?" he asked cautiously. The girl, no, Riza's eyes widened slightly. She thought she had convinced Dino for a second. He was one of the characters that she could easily get along with. Heck, she didn't rant with her explanation like she did with Hibari and I-Pin! Why would he doubt her?

'That's right. I'm a complete stranger spewing out random facts about mafia and rings and stuff. Off course he'd be suspicious. I really need to think more,' she scolded herself. Dino coughed to get her attention.

"I'd, um, show you the evidence, but, uh, I can't really…" she trailed off. He raised an eyebrow.

"Then how can I believe you?" he asked. Riza sighed and bit her lip. There were many ways to show him she wasn't lying. She could show him a volume of the manga, show him the anime, show him Hibari– wait, no. No showing Hibari. He'd fight and cause property damage! And I-Pin was gone for the day…

"Would you rather see a person you know well, or read something?" she asked. She knew it was a vague question, but guessed that she had no other way of explaining it. Riza hoped he would choose the latter option and make life a bit easier for her.

"A person I know should suffice," he said immediately. She bit her lip nervously. They waited for three minutes. "What are we waiting for?" Riza looked at him and sighed again, slightly blushing. She fumbled a bit and pulled out a certain prefect's armband.

"Just give me a moment. Ahem…KYOUYA~ I STOLE YOUR PREFECT ARMBAND~ BETTER COME GET IT BEFORE I FLUSH IT DOWN THE TOILET~!" Dino stared at the girl in shock. What was with the sudden change of attitude? He was also concerned for her safety. What was she thinking? Did she have a death wish?

"Kya!" Riza yelped, her face now kissing the floor. The skylark stood on top of her, a glare shooting to the back of her head. "P-please get off…You're squishing me." He ripped the armband out of her grip.

"No, herbivore. Call me by my first name again and I'll rip out your tongue," he said. He turned to leave, but seemed to freeze after seeing a certain blond.

"Hey, Kyouya! Long time no see!" Dino laughed. Hibari glared at him, readying his tonfas that appeared out of his mystical Namimori jacket that held stuff without showing signs of pockets.

"I still haven't bitten you to death, herbivore," he smirked. From the floor, Riza groaned. This was exactly why she didn't want to show Dino another character! The only other character in the house was Hibari since I-Pin was out with Nathan, and he was freakin' hot! Oh, and deadly.

"Oh? You still want to fight Kyouya? Let's go, then." Dino pulled out his whip from his discarded, wet jacket. If Riza could face palm, she would've done it many, many, many times.

"Err, Dino? You can't fight," Riza said from the floor. She sat up and rubbed her face. "Hibari-san! That hurt! And anyways, Dino can't fight. Not without his men," she stated. They both paid no heed to her and charged at each other. Dino flicked his wrist to send his whip towards Hibari but ended up hitting himself and Riza. "Owww!" They both rubbed their cheeks. A dark red line appeared.

"You can't fight like this. I want to bite you to death when you're at your best," Hibari growled and stalked off.

"Gah. It stings!" Riza whimpered and glared at the prefect that left. Dino raised another eyebrow. He knew he was slightly clumsy, but how did she know that he couldn't fight sometimes? And how did Kyouya get here? Maybe she had something to do with his appearance.

"What else do you know about me?" he asked. Riza walked to a table and motioned for him to follow. Surprisingly, he didn't trip. They both sat down on opposite ends when Riza started.

"Well, I know that you're twenty-two. Pretty young for a Mafia boss, don't you think? You're the boss of the Cavallone Family which is allied with the Vongola. You have sky flames, just like Tsuna. You have a pet turtle, Enzio, which grows into a massive giant when in water and your box weapon is a horse. You didn't happen to have him with you when you, uh, fell on me, right?" she blushed again, and he did too. He shook his head and she continued. "Thank goodness for that. Anyways, you trained Kyou –Hibari-san during the battle for the Vongola Half Rings. Romario is your right hand man. You care deeply for you men. Reborn was your Spartan tutor, but now he tutors Tsuna," she concluded. At the mention of the Arcobaleno baby's name, he paled slightly. Memories of his time with the Spartan baby flashed through his mind. Also, Dino didn't know if he should have been flattered that this girl had heard of him or creeped out because she knew so much about him.

"Please don't bring his name up again," Dino muttered. Haunting images continued to flash in his mind.

"You mean Rebo-"

"Don't say it." Riza raised her eyebrow at the shivering blond, resisting the urge to laugh. "A-anyways, that's about right. And you know all this information because I'm fictional?" She nodded. "That's not creepy at all. I can trust you I guess. You have Kyouya here, and you haven't been bitten to death yet. You've survived with him without too many injuries, so I can kind of relax. Like, I know you won't try anything."

"Haha, actually, no. I've been bitten to death. For, uh, calling him hot. Haha…" she blushed, letting out a nervous laugh. "He's rather…stubborn." Dino nodded, agreeing. Maybe he should've taken back what he said about her not trying anything.

"You don't mind if I stay here, right?" he asked with a smile. Riza smiled back, a faint blushing growing on her cheeks.

"No, I don't mind. You'd get lost in the city probably. And you probably don't have money. Maybe you can help me keep an eye on Hibari-san and I-Pin," she suggested. Dino was a great guy. He didn't make her want to bang her head repeatedly against the wall unlike a certain prefect. And he actually believed her! For the first time, a character believed her! Riza jumped for joy in her mind. 'Dino, you're a lifesaver along with I-Pin!' Riza cried.

"I-Pin's staying with you?" Dino asked, surprised.

"Yeah. She arrived here yesterday. Did something happen?" Riza asked. Dino shook his head.

"Nothing serious. Lambo's been crying though," Dino said. He had noticed that the cow child was sobbing to himself. Riza nodded.

"I just hope this doesn't ruin anything…" she murmured. Dino put a hand over hers and lightly squeezed it. Riza blushed, using her free hand to hold back a squeal.

"If anything, I can help you. Just call for me. It's the least I can do for you, right?" He gave her a dazzling smile.

"Y-yeah, thanks," Riza said. The euphoria of a fan girl had its effects. You could say she was on cloud nine. Or on a Cloud guardian *wink wink*.

"Oh, I've been meaning to ask you, can you tell me about yourself? You know a lot about me, but I don't know much about you," Dino said. Riza nodded dazedly. Maybe he could find out if she really had any bad intentions.

"You know my full name. I'm half Italian, half American. I don't really know what's in my dad's blood. He's a pretty rich guy, so I guess I'm a rich girl. My dad divorced my mom, so I live with him. I'm fifteen (A/N – I've seen fourteen year olds with chests. Riza just happens to be a kinda late developer.), so yeah. Is there anything else you want or need to know?"

"Are you living by yourself? I'm guessing your dad is really busy, so he's rarely home." Riza nodded to confirm.

"Yeah, he's pretty busy. I don't mind though. And I have a bodyguard who's like a second mom to me," Riza said. Dino didn't question the second mom part.

"Well, if you're confused with anything, you can just talk to me or Nathan who will come home sometime soon. Oh, you can take this room. Since you'll be staying here for the time being, you'll probably want your own room, right?" Dino nodded. They both stood up and Riza went to stand next to Dino.

'Just to make sure he won't trip over anything,' she convinced herself. She really does jinx herself. With an ungraceful yelp, Dino tripped over his own feet and toppled on top of Riza. His silky blond locks tickled her neck. She blushed, fully aware that the man had planted his head into her flat chest. (*BAM!* Ow! Why Riza hit me? Riza: I am NOT flat chested. True I don't have huge boobs, but I am NOT that flat!) Okay, fine. His head planted into her semi-flat chest.

'Dino's hair tickles, and it's so soft…' Riza thought. They couldn't get up fast enough. The door opened and Nathan stood at the doorway holding bags.

"Miss Riza, I'm back and I – What the…?" Nathan opened the door to see Riza pinned down by an older blond man.

'Oh shit,' both Riza and Dino thought.

Was Dino OOC? I'm so worried that he is! And not to mention all this innuendo…I SWEAR TO PASTA THAT I DON'T READ RATED M FICS! I just read too much shojo manga is all! But I still think that it's OOC. Please tell me if it is~. Now onto the Freakin' Thanks Corner:
