Er... I think if you need any translations or information on some weaponry in this story... I think you can just google translate or wiki. -Lazy to explain-

The world's full of cruelty. You can't change that.

"You have a lot of friends," Talon said smiling. I blinked and looked at him confused. "They came to visit you a few times. Along with some trouble children."

Oh.

"Talon…," I murmured. He looked at me.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Exactly… Who were our parents?"

"That's something you'll find out later. Right now, isn't the best time."

He never told me.

--

It turns out that Talon had paid for my hospital bill, so everything was good to go.

"How nostalgic," Talon murmured as he took a step towards the household. When we rang the doorbell, Joey answered it.

"Oh lookie, it's the little mistress and her knight is shin-" I bonked him on the head. Talon laughed.

"You never change," He said. Joey glanced at him momentarily before turning around and walking back into the house.

"Mom! Dad! Dante no baka's back!" It was rare, but I think I might have missed that. Might.

"Dante?" Maria rushed downstairs, Alfred following not long after. Maria smiled at me. "You're all better now?" I nodded. She hugged me. Maria glanced uneasily at Talon. I blinked and tilted my head to the side at her troubled expression.

"What are you doing here?" Alfred asked firmly. Talon and Alfred were staring at each other; I think they were glaring…

"I came to drop my dear little sister off," Talon said shrugging. He had a strange smile on his face. "Am I not allowed to? Alfred." Alfred's eyes narrowed and his lips were in a frown.

"Now she's here. I'm going to have to ask you to leave, Talon." Alfred's voice had poison dripping from every word. "You shouldn't be here."

"It's been a long time since then," Talon said. Since when? Did Talon know Alfred, Maria and Joey? They were friends of our parents…

"You seem to not understand me. I told you to leave." Alfred's expression was unyielding. Talon raised his hands in his defense.

"I'll be going. Just don't forget. There's nothing else to separate the incatenato." The chained? Alfred didn't really like what Talon said and took a step forward. What was going on? My brother looked at me and then gave me a playful smile. "Arrivederci, Dante."

Then he left.

"Alfred…?" I asked.

"Stay away from that boy. He may be your brother, but he's dangerous."

How could I believe that?

--

I lay down on my bed. I'm surprised that it was all neat. Maria must have made my bed when I was at the hospital. I glanced at the picture frame at my bedside. Was my mother like that as well? What about my father?

Talon's dangerous. He's a hazard, especially to you.

Was there something extremely important I'm not remembering here? I sighed and sat down, leaning my back against my bedpost.

"How come everything has to be so confusing?"

I blinked as I saw my cell phone vibrating.

--

"This is really strange," I murmured as I walked down the dimly-lit streets of Namimori. How come the box opened at this time? It was quite a surprise; inside the box were a pair of Kusarigama. How I know what they are? That is a different story, but let's just say that I stumbled across the name in a book. The minute I held them in my hands, it kind of felt nostalgic, though I'm not quite sure why.

I had quickly slipped them into a little carryon bag and got dressed. I sighed as I heard my music playing softly from my earphones.

If you leave me tonight, I'll wake up alone,
don't tell me I will make it on my own,

Second hand Serenade singing Stay Close Don't Go. I exhaled and fixed my hair under my cabbie.

"Asakura-chan!" I blinked and looked at a classmate.

"Sasagawa-chan? Miura-chan?" Well, this is a surprise.

"Have you seen Fuuta-kun, Lambo-kun and I-pin-chan?" Kyoko asked. I shook my head. Don't tell me this whole thing was to find a trio of kids? But the voice was kind of strange on the phone. "Oh no! What if something happened?"

"We were playing with them and now we lost them along the way," Haru said. I frowned. "We were wondering if they went back home yet…"

"Well, you should ask Tsu-"

"Tsuna-kun!" Kyoko shouted. My eye twitched. The irony.

Turned out they weren't home yet either. Kyoko and Haru were sent home, and I'm being dragged around trying to find Mr. Ranking, Mr. Useless cow and Ms. Ticking time bomb. Personally nicknamed by me.

Something tells me I should have just stayed home and never have gotten myself involved with these kids.

--

Does everyone have to have a flashy entrance? Honestly, Ryohei just shows up punching some dude and saving the kids, along with Yamamoto and Gokudera. I mentally groaned.

All the other stuff, I paid half attention to. Actually, it may have been less than half. Well, who cares?

Let's see… The important parts… I yawned. Again with the people from Varia. Their leader's Xanxus. Quite intimidating guy. Tsuna's dad is the 'outside advisor'… Um… Battle between Tsuna and Xanxus, concerning the tenth heir of the Vongola ordered by the ninth. Some people named Cervello. Quite boring. Especially to someone like me who doesn't get a DAMN THING.

Oh right, there was something about the seven rings and battles at Namimori. Hibari's not going to like that. Screw it. I'm going home. It was over anyways.

"You need to find a tutor to teach you how to use those." Reborn must have meant the Kusarigama. "But at least go to school tomorrow."

Ah. I sighed and rested my head against the cold wood of my desk. Why the hell was I dragged into this?
