Damn her!
Dino pressed the doorbell repeatedly with flustered face.
"Can't you have a little-" Her speech was interrupted the second she opened the door when Dino grabbed her by the collar. "What is this supposed to mean, Dino Cavallone?" Aria's tone was sharp and chilly.
"Is this what you meant by when you said 'winning is not everything'?"
Aria looked at the male with dead-eyes. 'So, Xanxus really went with the plan.' "How's Ninth doing?"
Dino dropped her on the floor and walked in. "He's stable now."
After the fight between Hibari and Gola Mosca ended, Hibari aimed for Xanxus' head, but ended up with Gola Mosca went berserk. Just when one of Mosca's shot was about to hit Tsuna's family, Tsuna rescued them and battled Mosca.
But, there was a catch to that.
Inside the dead Mosca, the Ninth was acting as its power supply using his dying flame.
"What happened to the match?"
"Tsuna and Xanxus will have one last battle to decide who will be the Decimo."
Aria sat on her couch with her legs crossing, looking at the male. "What do you think will happen?"
"I don't know. But I do know this." Dino glared at her. "If you people tried any dirty means again, considered yourselves had been warned." Dino left, but not before slamming her door.
Aria remained poker face even she noticed the infant was pointing a gun at her back. "Good day, Reborn."
"Aria. Also known as [V]aria – meaning you're the fifth strongest amongst them. What is your plan for today?"
Aria chuckled. "I'm just a spectator. Look." She snapped her fingers and a box of popcorn came out. "I even brought snack."
"If you try anything..."
"I know, I know." Aria looked at the main stars for Sky Battle. "But, it's better if you worry for your student than me."
Reborn smiled under his fedora. "Save your concern. Tsuna is not a pushover."
Another popcorn went into her mouth.
The whole Tsuna – Xanxus battle had been going for hours. To make things interesting, their guardians were battling too.
With Lambo unconscious and bedridden, and Lussuria fighting in his bed, it provided a whole lot drama for Aria watching Chrome, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Gokudera, Hibari, Belphegor, Mammon and Levi fighting head-to-head.
"Uh-oh." Aria almost choked on her popcorn when she saw Xanxus combined Tsuna's Sky Ring with his. A glow of light began lighting up the dark night, but then the unexpected happened.
The ring rejected Xanxus.
"The fuck?!"
"What happened?"
"No way."
"Told ya, idiot Boss." Xanxus looked up to the voice and saw Aria was standing in front of him. "You lose."
"You bitch!"
"I'll kill you!" Levi had his umbrella ready to fire thunderbolts at her.
Aria sighed. "Save your empty threats." She then turned to Tsuna. "Hey. Do you want to hear a story?"
"Huh?"
"A story about a fake heir. A story about Cradle's Affair."
The airport was full of people. Announcements for departings and arrivals of the planes came one after another. Aria was sitting on one of the chairs of the corner where it was less crowded.
"Good evening."
She looked up from her magazine to the group of people before her. "Cavallone and the Vongola Decimo."
"You're going back already?"
"Yes. Varia is already short-handed as it is." The battle finally over. The truth was out and as predicted, Varia had gone back to Italy and went on their lives. Tho it could be said that Xanxus temper had flared up more than usual and Tsunayoshi Sawada was a taboo to be mentioned when he's around.
Tsuna looked at the girl before him. She was around his age and yet, she was living a whole lot different life from him.
"Aria-san." Tsuna extended his hand to her. "Take care of yourself."
Aria looked from his hand to his face. Honest. Innocent. Naïve. She smiled to herself. "That's what I've been doing this whole time. Until next time, Decimo." The group gasped as Aria pulled Tsuna's hand and kissed him on the cheek instead.
"Arrivederia."

Omake :
"Hibari-san!" Kusakabe called for the head prefect with a bouquet of flower. "This came for you."
Hibari was annoyed, not only because his sleep was disturbed, but also, flower was not his favorite sight, especially after the sakura incident with Rokudo Mukuro.
So, he trashed the bouquet, making the petals scattered and blown by the wind, leaving only a card fell on the rooftop floor. Hibari picked it up and read it. A sadistic smile formed itself on his face.
You can feel the wind, but you would never own it. - [V]aria
"Uh...Hibari-san?" Kusakabe asked hesitatingly.
"Wind or not, I'll bite her to death the next time."
A/N : Don't worry. This doesn't end yet. I wanted to focus on Aria's introduction and her personality first. Hopefully not Mary-sue much.
