SO THIS IS PART 1 OF DANTE'S PAST -GASP-

ENJOY.

"Dante!" A young, teenage Talon called, grinning

"Yes?" A ten year old Dante skipped over to him with a smile.

"Time to play a game!" Dante's smile grew.

"Yay!" She clapped her hands. "What're we going to play??"

"Okay, you can be the principessa, and I'll be the principe!" He laughed.

"Oh! Okie!!!" Dante smiled and took her brother's hand.

X0X0X0X:D

"Nee, Uncle Reborn, have you seen Joey?" Dante asked, tugging on his pant leg. Adult Reborn looked down at gestured over to the gardens.

"He's probably sulking over there," Reborn with a smirk.

"Why?" Dante asked, tilting her head to the side.

"Because he sparred with Talon and lost," Reborn said. Dante sweat dropped.

"Fratello's strong!" She said. "Of course Joey would lose!"

"That's true, but Talon has a big weakness," Reborn said grimly. "I have to be headed back to Vongola main estate now."

"Okie! Have a safe trip!" Dante said, trying to imitate the Japanese phrase. "I-i-itar…" She pouted.

"It's ittarasshai," Reborn said with a chuckle.

"Oh! Ittarashai Uncle Reborn!" She beamed brightly at him. He patted her on the head.

X0X0X0X:D

"Nee, Joey," Dante said, swinging her legs while the swing rocked back and forth.

"Yeah?" Eleven year old Joey asked as he smiled.

"Why do you think… Xanxus would react to the ninth like that?" She asked her gaze downcast. She used to always like to play with the man, even if he was always mean.

"He wanted to be the tenth," Joey said. "He was adopted, so he didn't have the Vongola blood."

"But…" Dante frowned. "I miss him…"

"Forget about him," Joey told her. "You have to focus on other things."

"…" Dante frowned and a few tears welled up in her eyes. Joey sighed and stood up. He stepped over and hugged Dante. Patting her on the back, he kissed her on the top of her head.

"Dante!" Talon's voice shouted. "Where are you!? It's time for dinner! Joey! Maria and Alfred are looking for you!"

Joey detached himself from Dante and looked at Talon's approaching form.

"Ah!" Dante wiped away all her tears and grinned at her older brother. Joey grimaced. Talon smiled at Dante. "Hi Talon!"

"Hey," Talon smiled and placed a hand on her head. "Let's go, kay? Joey too."

"Yeah," Joey grunted and Dante nodded. Dante took a few strides forward, leaving the two boys a few steps back.

"Are you coming onto my sister?" Talon asked.

"EH!?" Joey turned bright red and gaped at Talon. Talon smirked.

"You have a lot of competition, you know," Talon said, gazing over at his sister.

"Competition?" Joey asked. "Who would like an idiot like her?" He pouted and looked away.

"Ahaha, you'd be surprised," Talon said, taking a few steps forward. He put his hands on Dante's shoulders and she looked up at him curiously. Joey's eyes widened as Talon's head turned to look at him, his gaze petrifying. "Dante, are you interested in marrying Joey when you're older?"

"EH!?" Joey's face turned bright red and Dante looked at Joey and Talon.

"Marry Joey?" Dante repeated. Talon smiled and nodded. "But doesn't Joey like E-" Joey shrieked and Dante shut her mouth.

"E?" Talon asked, mildly surprised. "There's someone else? How interesting…"

"… Talon, I hate you," Joey said, gritting his teeth in embarrassment as he ran to catch up with the two.

X0X0X0X:D

"Sir, you have a visitor," A servant said, bowing her head. Dane blinked and glanced at her dad and then at her mom. A man stepped through the door.

"Oh! Uncle Reborn!" Dante said with a smile. She waved her hand and Reborn stared at her father. Dante looked curiously between the two.

"Ciaossu, Alfonse, Isabella, Dante," Reborn greeted with a curt nod.

"Hello Reborn," Dante's mother, Isabella, said with a smile. "What brings you here?"

"Dante's being summoned by the Ninth," Reborn stated. Alfonse stared at Reborn for a moment.

"For what matter?" He asked.

"That's currently confidential," Reborn replied. Alfonse nodded, understandingly. "No harm will be brought up to Dante."

"Why does the ninth want to see me?" Dante asked. Talon walked in the room to happen upon hearing it.

"The ninth wishes to see Dante?" He asked, his eyes narrowing while looking at Reborn. Reborn frowned at the boy.

"Confidential," He said. Talon gritted his teeth. Alfonse looked at his son in dismay. Reborn took Dante's hand and led her out into a black car and Talon watched them as they drove away.

X0X0X0X:D

"Hello Dante," Timoteo greeted, shaking her little hand.

"U-um, h-hello," Dante managed to stutter a reply. He gestured for her to sit down as he took a seat across from her.

"I've heard that your training has been going quite well," He said. Dante nodded enthusiastically. Timoteo chuckled at her response.

"The K-Ku-sa-ri…ga-ma," She sounded out the word. "Is fun and easy to use now!~"

"That's good to hear," He said with a smile. "I've called you here today to ask you if you'd be interested in joining my grandson's family for the tenth generation."

"Eh!?" Dante looked at him surprised. He handed her a picture of Tsuna.

"This is a picture of my grandson currently, his name's Sawada Tsunayoshi."

"Sawada…Tsunayoshi?" She repeated. He nodded.

"You're still kind of young, so I'm just offering it. He lives in Japan."

"Woooww!" Dante said. She had never been to Japan, but her father was half and her mom was fully Japanese.

"Would you be interested?" He asked. Dante nodded enthusiastically. He smiled. "I'll call you back here when I will fully assign the mission."

X0X0X0X:D

Timoteo gazed out the window as he watched Reborn escort Dante back into the car they had arrived in. He had asked her to keep quiet about the mission and that it was confidential.

"It's best to do this, before he makes his move," Timoteo murmured as he watched the car drive away. "The risks are too high for her to stay here."
