I'm terribly sorry to keep you guys waiting. The end of 9th grade really made me stressed out. I got National Exam try outs for two weeks and I just finished my Pre-Exams on Friday. Moreover, I still have Flash project, face model project, and course assignments to due, plus, I got a bad flu. Argh… It's hard to be a 9th grader…

Anyway, thanks for every reviews! They make me in seventh heaven. ^^ Thanks a lot. Oh, I made a poll in my profile about which Bleach character that should appear in this story. Please vote!

I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: I will never own Bleach or Reborn!

Chapter 3: Welcome to Vongola

Yoruichi sighed. She really hates to dress in a teacher suit. It was hard to move with those clothes, so she would rather wear nothing than wearing a 'feminime' suit. Yoruichi took a deep breathe as she turned to see Hitsugaya who was walking into the school building with Tsuna. "Well, there's another work to do…" she thought.

The dark-skinned lady took out her cell phone and made a call.

"Yes, Urahara Shop here." Tessai's voice could be heard clearly.

"Tessai, where's your manager? I need to talk to him, now," Yoruichi said.

"Aah, please wait, Yoruichi-dono…"

Yoruichi could hear a 'thud' and sound of Tessai's footsteps. After a silent pause, she heard someone picked up the other phone. "Aaah!!! Yoruichi-san, how are you? Fine there?" The familiar voice greeted.

"Kisuke, can we go to the main topic? I'm busy here right now," Yoruichi replied monotonously,

Kisuke sighed, "Huh, can't you be relaxed for a while, Yoruichi-san?"

"Kisuke," Yoruichi demanded.

"Huff… Well then," Urahara gave up. "What do you want to ask?"

Yoruichi walked into the school as she asked Urahara right to the point, "Why do you want me to keep an eye on Hitsugaya? And what is the purpose of that glove you've just invented, Urahara?"

"Haven't I told you, Yoruichi-san?" Urahara's voice became deeper than before. "We need to make sure that he's safe in Namimori. Karakura isn't safe enough for him right now. There are still many Menos and Ajuchases around and some Arrancars survived in the war, we don't want to take any risk that they will target him. The only safest place I can think is Namimori…"

"And why is that?"

Urahara took a deep breathe and sighed. "I've told you, haven't I?"

"No, you haven't" Yoruichi answered, short and clearly.

"My apologies, then Yoruichi-san," Urahara said. "Should I say right to the point? Or should I explain you the whole thing? Which one do you like?"

"Urahara, stop fooling around! I'm serious, you know! He's one of remaining Soul Society's captain after Aizen and his fellows' death. Hitsugaya's not supposed to be in the living world right now. Moreover, he lost his memories. I've lost my contact with Ukitake for days, not allowed to enter Soul Society and you didn't explain to me ANYTHING, about what is going on here yet the purpose giving Hitsugaya the new glove you invented?!" Yoruichi exclaimed.

"Alright, alright, calm down, Yoruichi-san," Urahara said. "Looks like I have to tell you EVERYTHING after Aizen's death in the winter war…"

Meanwhile, Reborn told Leon to change into a phone. Then, he called Dino with it. After a long dialing tone, he could hear his former student's voice.

"Hoaaahm… Yes, who is this? Are you-"

"Dino, is this you?" Reborn asked with Leon-phone.

"UWAAA!!! Re-Reborn!! Why do you call me at night like this?" Dino asked and yawned. "It's 02:00 a.m. in Italy, you know…"

"Dino, I want you to find about a person named Hitsugaya Toushirou," Reborn said.

"What? It's strange. You usually have your own sources to find out about people, don't you? But, well, since it's you request, I'm fine with it," Dino yawned again. "The data in ten years or…"

"The data in the last 80 years or more if you can, Dino," Reborn cut.

"WHAT?!! Eighty years?! Are you crazy, Reborn? It's hard to find people records in 1920s!" Dino exclaimed.

"Please, I really need the data right away, Dino. I've searched ini range of 30 years, but no records contain anything related to Hitsugaya Toushirou."

"Wow, that would be a hard task to do, huh?" Dino muttered. "Anyway, who is this Hitsugaya?"

Reborn smirked. "He's Tsuna's family member-to-be."

---

"Eeh… Sawada-san…?" Hitsugaya asked at the recess time, while eating the lunch with Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto.

"You don't need to call me so formal like that, Hitsugaya-kun," Tsuna said back to the white haired boy.

"Uuh… Sawada… kun?" Hitsugaya coughed a bit. He was not really comfortable when he spoke unformally. "Why are our classmates looking at us?" Hitsugaya pointed to the students who were crowding outside of their classroom.

"Ch, they're really annoying us. Do you want me to get rid of them, Juudaime?" Gokudera asked.

"I think you shouldn't do that, Gokudera," Hitsugaya said to the Smoking Bomb coldly.

"Who asked you, white head?!" Gokudera snarled.

"Who did you say white head?" Hitsugaya twitched.

"Hey, hey, calm down guys," Tsuna said. Somehow, Gokudera and Hitsugaya cannot go along really well.

Yamamoto laughed. "Maybe they're just chatting, hahaha…"

"Hey, is that the new student? The one with the white hair?" A girl asked.

"Awww… He's so kawaiii…" Another girl whispered.

"Not only cute, he's so adorable and so… uh… mysterious… He's really my type!" Another girl added.

"Do you know that he dares to fight Hibari this morning?" A boy asked.

"What?! That new kid?!!!"

Tsuna sweat dropped. "I think it's not like that, Yamamoto-kun…"

The mafia boss-to-be sighed. After Hitsugaya introduced himself in the classroom, looks like the girls started to admire him and the boys somehow interested with him. Tsuna can list a few reasons.

First, his brave, yet really crazy, fight with Hibari in the morning. According to Yamamoto and Gokudera, some students saw the fight and spread a rumor about a new kid who was brave enough to face the violence-lover Hibari.

Second, he is smart, or Tsuna should say he IS a genius. There was a Math test that day and he did not need any help to do the test. Moreover, he got the perfect score, which means another genius in class after Gokudera.

Third, not only smart, he is good at sports, especially soccer. During the P.E. lesson, Takaguchi-sensei, the P.E. teacher, was sick so the boys were playing soccer while the girls became the spectators. Tsuna teamed up with Gokudera, Yamamoto and Hitsugaya, of course. However, the bad news was Tsuna's team of four had to face five boys from Namimori junior high's soccer team. Tsuna had already lost his hope first, until Hitsugaya managed to score the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth goal until the end of the match.

'Another favorite guy in the school, huh?' Tsuna thought. The boy started to wonder why his friends were much more popular than him. 'He's like a mixture of Gokudera and Yamamoto-kun…'

"In a body of you, dane-Tsuna," A familiar childish voice said.

Tsuna turned to find Reborn in his usual black suit, sitting on the desk, drinking a glass of tea. "REBORN!!! Stop reading my mind, please!"

"Hitsugaya, can I have a talk with Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto for a while?" Reborn asked Hitsugaya, ignoring Tsuna's complain.

"Sure, you can, Reborn-san," Hitsugaya replied.

Reborn smirked. The baby mafia turned to his student and kicked him. "Let's go, we have important thing to discuss about."

Hitsugaya looked at them went away, as the other students rushed into the classroom, surrounding Hitsugaya, and started to asked him lots of question.

"Hey, where did you move from? You have a nice hair there," A boy praised.

"Uuuh… What kind of food do you like, Hitsugaya-kun?" A girl with glasses asked shyly.

"Hitsugaya, please join our soccer club! We have to take the champion place from Mashiba junior high this year!"

"Hitsugaya-kun, how could you dare to challenge Hibari-san?!!"

Hitsugaya blinked his eyes. "Uuuh… Thanks, actually it's not bleached. Well, I like watermelons, and ice cream's not bad too. It's a great pleasure to join your soccer club, but I'll think again, and I don't dare to fight Hibari ever again…" Hitsugay tried to answer every question.

Meanwhile, Yoruichi, who was watching at him from the corridor, looked at the white haired boy with full of concern look. "Huuh… Looks like you got some big trouble here, didn't you, Hitsugaya?"

---

"Tsuna, I've decided to recruit Hitsugaya Toushirou to our family," Reborn stated to Tsuna.

Tsuna widened his eyes, followed with a loud "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHH!!!!? I've told you to not to involve my friends about this mafia anymore, right?!!!"

"I didn't promise you about that, anyway…" Reborn took a bundle of paper out of his pocket. "His intelligence and skills are outstanding, even better than Gokudera and Yamamoto."

Gokudera widened his eyes. "WHAT!!! I don't believe what you just said, Reborn-san!"

Yamamoto blkinked and smiled. "Wow, it would be good if he join the game, right?"

"That's not it, baseball idiot! If he joins our family, he will take the position of Juudaime's right hand man from me!!!" Gokudera snapped at Yamamoto.

Reborn took other papers and showed it to the boys. "It's the newest ranking from Fuuta this morning: intelligence, strength, and the other skills that Namimori Junior High students have."

They read the paper for a while and dropped their jaws. In intelligence, run, fighting and analytic skills, Hitsugaya is ranked first; in strength, he is ranked as the second. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS RANKING?!!!" Tsuna exclaimed. He turned to Reborn, "Hitsugaya's only an ordinary boy, there's no way he should be involved with mafia!"

"Do you believe that he's JUST an ordinary boy, Tsuna?" Reborn asked, but with a deep tone.

Tsuna gulped. "W-Well…"

"I don't think that he's just an ordinary boy, Tsuna. Do you believe an ordinary boy who doesn't remember anything could dodge all of Hibari's attack with no wound at all?"

"Eeh… I-I don't think so… Even Gokudera and Yamamoto-kun can't stand a chance against Hibari-san…" Tsuna replied.

"You're right. Only a person who has mastered a great fighting skill can dodge all that attacks. I believe that Hitsugaya was a person who is skilled in fights." Reborn explained. "Besides…"

"What is it, Reborn-san?" Gokudera asked.

Reborn's face became serious. "I think we need to find something more about him…"

---

Hitsugaya walked along the staircase to the rooftop. Tsuna's tutor baby named Reborn, or whatever his name is, asked him to come to the rooftop after the school is over. However, he said something strange to him.

"Make sure you have anything to protect you, Hitsugaya," Reborn said devilishly.

"Huh… This is a strange town with strange people in it.,." Hitsugaya mumbled. Talking about strange things, Hitsugaya remembered the glove a cat 'gave' him that morning. He took it out of the pocket. The blue glove gave the white-haired boy a somehow familiar sense, especially with the fiery skull print on it. "Why do it have to use skull print?"

Hitsugaya wear it to his right hand. Unexpectedly, the glove was quite comfortable for him. "Hmm, not bad either, huh?" he said to himself. Suddenly, the boy got an excruciating pain in his head.

'Toushirou, can you hear me? Toushirou!'

The pain gone as fast as it came. After Hitsugaya opened his eyes, he leaned himself to the wall and touched his head. "What… was that voice?" The voice is not the same with the voices he remembered that morning in Tsuna's room. It was more deeper and sounded more like a growling voice. "Another flashback? Or it's just my imagination? Whose voice is that and why does it know my name?"

Hitsugaya ignored it and continue to go to the rooftop. Unbeknownst him, Yoruichi in her cat form followed him silently behind.

"Where are you going, Hitsugaya?" Yoruichi wondered. "But at least he wears the glove now…"

---

There was no one in the rooftop, except Hitsugaya himself. There was no sign of Tsuna and the others. "What does that baby want?" He asked to himself.

"OI!!! White head!"

Hitsugaya turned and found Gokudera behind him, with dynamites in his hands. Hitsugaya blinked. "Why are you carrying those dynamites, Gokudera?" Hitsugaya asked.

"Don't try to lure me, white head!" Gokudera snapped. "Let's decide who would be Juudaime's right hand man with a fight!!"

"What?! Wait a minute, I don't understand what's going one here!" Hitsugaya replied.

"Get ready, white head!" Gokudera shouted as he lighted up all the dynamites in his hands.

"What the hell is going on?!!!" Hitsugaya shouted and ran, trying to dodge Gokudera's dynamite attacks.

---

"Reborn-san, isn't this game too hard for Toushirou? He has to face Gokudera in the first time he played the game…" Yamamoto asked.

"Reborn, aren't you too Spartan about this…" Tsuna commented as he watched Gokudera behind the rooftop door with Yamamoto and Reborn!

"No, not at all," Reborn smiled. "Let's see what'd happen next."

"What did you say to Gokudera so he wanted to fight Toushirou?" Yamamoto asked.

"I said that if he wins against Hitsugaya, Tsuna's right hand man seat will be his," Reborn answered.

"REBORN!!!"

---

Yoruichi, who was watching the fight from the top of the roof fence, sweat dropped. She never saw a boy have lots of dynamites in his pockets before. Moreover, looks like the boy never reach the end of his dynamite stocks. "Looks like this town is more troublesome than Karakura, isn't it?"

---

Hitsugaya kept running and running, while Gokudera continuously threw dynamites at him. Like Yoruichi, he thought that Gokudera never ran out of dynamite stocks in his pocket. 'Man, when will this over?!!!' Hitsugaya thought. Unfortunately, he ran to Gokudera's trap. Now, he was surrounded by dynamites on the floor.

"What the?!"

"Got you!!!" Gokudera smirked.

The whole bomb exploded and blasted Hitsugaya to the wall. The boy choked a little blood from his mouth.

"Hitsugaya-kun!" Tsuna exclaimed. "Gokudera, don't do more than this!"

"Oh, no… He's in trouble!" Yoruichi widened her eyes.

Hitsugaya's vision was blurry, but he could see Gokudera came closer to him, with hands full of dynamites. "Looks like I'm going to win this fight. You're not as tough as Reborn-san expected!" he said.

'What should I do now…' Hitsugaya thought. He tried to move, but he felt pain on his left leg. 'Kuso, looks like my leg's broken…'

Gokudera threw his last dynamites to Hitsugaya. "It's over now!!!"

'Great… I'm going to die without any memory of who I was?' Hitsugaya cursed in his mind as the dynamites were getting closer.

'Not yet…'

Hitsugaya suddenly heard the voice from before in his head. "What-"

'Remember, Toushirou… Hear… me, Toushirou… I'm… your power… I'm…'

'Who are you? How did you-' Before Hitsugaya finished his word, the things became dark for him.

---

"It's over now, white head!!!" Gokudera said as he threw his last dynamites. He believed it was his victory, until…

CRACK!!!

Like a bolt out of the blue, all of Gokudera's dynamites were frozen to ice. Not only his dynamites, but most of the floor was covered with ice all of sudden. The black cloud started to cover the blue sky, followed with a rain of small ice shards. The air became colder. "What… What the hell is this?!!!"

Tsuna and Yamamoto gasped, "What happened to the clear sky?! Where is that ice come from?!!!"

Reborn stood still, murmured, "Hmm… Looks like it is more than I've expected…"

Hitsugaya slowly stood up and looked at Gokudera. Gokudera stared back at him, realized something different in Hitsugaya's eyes. They somehow look much colder and scarier. The boy raised his right hand, which is covered with the glove he got. A blue ball of reiatsu was formed in front of his palm. "Souten ni saze…"

"Ch! Don't underestimate me, white hand! Triple Bomb!!!" Gokudera threw larger number of dynamites, but they did not stop Hitsugaya.

"HYORINMARU!!!!"

The energy ball turned into a large ice dragon, charged towards Gokudera in unmatchable speed, and frozen all of the dynamites.

"WHAT!!!" However, the dragon went through Gokudera faster, enchased the boy in a large pile of ice.

"Gokudera!!!" Tsuna went out of his hiding place and tried to break the ice. But Tsuna did not need to do anthing necessary, as sooner, the ice broke itself, revealing Gokudera, chilling greatly. "Gokudera, are you alright?!!!"

"F-f-f-f-f-f-f-fine… Juu-juu-juu-juuu-juudaime…" Gokudera stammered. His face was as pale as ice.

"We need to bring him to the nurse's office, but first of all…" Reborn said as he turned to Hitsugaya, who was half-kneeling on his knees, "Congratulations, Hitsugaya. Now, you're Tsuna's third family member. Welcome to Vongola."

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Tsuna exclaimed. "STOP IT, REBORN!!!!!!

However, Hitsugaya did not respond anything. He fell to the iced floor, asleep.

"Well, looks like we have to bring both of them to nurse's office," Yamamoto smirked.

"You're right," Tsuna agreed. "We have to wait until they wake up…"

Tsuna carried sleeping Hitsugaya and Yamamoto carried freezing Gokudera, who was trying to get off from Yamamoto (and failed).

"I-I-I-I… don't…. n-n-n-n-need… your help… Base…bbballl…i-i-i-idiot…" Gokudera hissed to Yamamoto, replied with a laugh from the base ball maniac.

"Sorry, but I have to bring you right to nurse's office!"

Tsuna sweat dropped, seeing the two began fighting again.

As the boys leaving, Reborn stood still, examining the battlefield. 'Ice… Black cloud… Hmm… You're really are amazing, Hitsugaya Toushirou…'

When Reborn was about to follow the boys, he bumped to someone. She was Yoruichi.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there," Yoruichi apologized.

Reborn did not sense the presence of her before. 'How did she sneak behind me?' he wondered. "No, it's fine. Who are you? I've never seen you before…"

"I'm Shihouin Yoruichi," Yoruichi introduced herself. "I'm going to be a new teacher in here, replacing Takaguchi-san. And you are?"

"Mr. Reboyama, I'm a teacher here as well," Reborn gave her his false identity. "Nice to meet you, Shihouin-san."
