Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my OCs.

To RaNDoem: Yeah, this might be a bit angsty. I feel so bad that I'm making my OC's this way, but I can't help it. A new character in every fanfiction requires a new background as well. YAY FOR LONGER CHAPPIE!

"Talking"

'Thinking'

KHR World

~ Silver's P.O.V ~

"Nee-san, you're looking really happy today," Copper whispered as I tucked him and Cobalt into bed. "I'm glad you're smiling again. I always loved nee-san's smiles. They were so pretty."

"Yeah… I've been having pleasant dreams recently," I replied, slipping in between both of the boys. Tonight was a stormy night, and I knew that my 10 year old brothers hated storms. It was probably that childhood fear from when I went on a mission and a plane crash happened. They had thought I had been on that plane, when I had already arrived back, so they hated storms.

"Nee-sama, did you get a boyfriend or something?" Cobalt asked, burying his head into his pillow as he hugged my waist. I chuckled, rubbing my head against his, my chocolate locks getting tangled with his chocolate coloured hair.

"No… I'm just happy that we've been able to spend so much more time together," I replied, pulling both of the boys closer. "Yes… and everything seems to be much better than before as well."

"I hope this good luck lasts forever…" Copper whispered, closing his eyes. "Goodnight, nee-san."

"Goodnight, nee-sama," Cobalt murmured, closing his eyes as well.

"Goodnight… my precious brothers."

I closed my eyes, feeling their breathing slow down as I went into my deep slumber, ready to see Tsuna again after the 2 years we had spent together.

"Tsuna, you're going to be late," I said, shaking the young 13 year old boy. He groaned, pulling the blanket over his head. I sighed, pulling away the blanket with my telekinesis and dropping a mountain of ice on top of him.

"HIIEEEEE!" Tsuna screamed, jumping out of bed and scattering the ice cubes everywhere. "Silver-san! I told you not to do that!" he yelled at me, pouting as I snapped my fingers, making the ice disappear.

"I told you to wake up," I said, shrugging when I noticed a test on his desk. "Huh? Was that yesterday's test? Wow Tsuna, I'm proud of you. You got a perfect," I commented, reading the paper over.

"Yeah… well… Silver-san worked so hard to teach me, so I did my best. I'm surprised I did so well, too," Tsuna told me, blushing as he rubbed the back of his head. "What about you, Silver-san? Did you have a nice morning?"

"Something like that. My brother's and I had a break today, so we went to the amusement park with a friend," I said, "sitting" down on the desk and crossing my legs. "You better get changed, Tsuna. I came a bit more late than usual, so we don't have as much time."

"Uh…"

I chuckled, standing up and turning around. The rustling of clothes came from behind me as I watched the outside from the window. A tiny baby caught my attention, and I wasn't too happy about it. I knew a Reborn when I saw one, which I could since I wasn't in my body and wasn't blind.

"Is something wrong, Silver-san?" Tsuna asked, leaning past my shoulder and looking outside. By then, Reborn had already disappeared, and I was sure he was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. "I don't see anyone out there…"

"It's fine, Tsuna," I said, slipping from underneath his arm and moving towards his door.

"Tsu-kun~" Nana said happily, opening the door. I stumbled back in shock, falling onto the floor. "You've been doing good recently, but I've gotten you a tutor," she said, walking… into me, literally, and showing Tsuna the paper. I've gotten used to it, but I don't think it's the same for him.

"Eh?! I don't need a tutor!" Tsuna exclaimed, his eyes wandering to me as I stood up. I shrugged, shaking my head at him. "Kaa-san, I'm doing fine. You don't need to call this person. I bet it's a fraud anyways."

"Tsuna, you're going to be late. You should hurry and get ready," I told him, pointing to the clock then the door. He screeched, running out the door after seeing the time. I followed after, flinching slightly when he slipped and fell backwards down the stairs. And at the end… was him.

"Ciaossu. Are you Tsuna?" Reborn greeted Tsuna as he looked at him from the ground. I walked down the stairs, offering my hand to Tsuna before remembering that I couldn't be seen. You'd think that after two years, I would've gotten used to it. None the less, Tsuna took it and sat up.

"T-Tsuna?" Tsuna questioned, looking at Reborn. My eyes were focused on his pacifier that was glowing slightly, and so was my hand. I looked down to see that damned cursed mark glowing just as brightly as the pacifier before fading away. Only this time, it was like it was stamped on my hand permanently.

'I know it's glowed a few times, but now it looks permanent. Is this the Shinigami's way of saying that everything is finally starting?' I thought, glaring at Reborn. He couldn't see me nor could he hurt me, so I had nothing to fear.

"I'll be instructing you from now on," Reborn said, pretending to ignore the once glowing pacifier. I knew what he was thinking from his eyes. He was suspicious of the cause, and definitely was thinking about why Tsuna reached out his hand towards me before.

"Why? I think your recent 65% average isn't that bad," I commented, sitting down on the stairs. Tsuna nodded his head in agreement. We never had much practice of pretending to ignore each other since we were always together with nobody around. That needed to change.

"Hey… what's with this baby?" Tsuna asked, crossing his legs and leaning forward closer to Reborn.

"Don't worry, Dame-Tsuna," Reborn replied nonchalantly. My eye twitched as I Tsuna reeled back in shock. All I could really say was that I grew really attached to Tsuna, not liking when anyone but me talked bad about him.

"Hey, how do you know my nickname?!" Tsuna asked in shock, clearly not happy. It seemed that we were in agreement.

"Gathering information is all part of the job, Tsuna," Reborn said, not budging or flinching from Tsuna's reaction. That was a really good poker face, probably even better than mine.

"Stop calling me Tsuna!" Tsuna said angrily, leaning forward towards Reborn. "My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi! I don't want a baby like you calling me Tsuna."

Reborn kicked him across the face, making me stand up. I was ready to mess around with photons and create the sun arcobaleno's worse nightmare on the spot. Sure I played pranks on Tsuna, but they only gave him some minor bruises at most, not that large red mark… okay, so maybe I was a bit worse, but still.

"What was that for?" Tsuna asked, holding his cheek. I created some ice, holding it to his red cheek. Tsuna took it from my hand, holding it gratefully against his slight wound.

"Oh, who might you be, little one?"

I turned around to see Nana coming down the stairs, giving Reborn a weird look. At the same time, Reborn said, "I'm the home tutor, Reborn."

"Home tutor…"

"Reborn?"

Nana and Tsuna started to laugh at Reborn, most likely finding his story ridiculous. I on the other hand made no reaction, knowing who he really was and that his story was true. Reborn was no laughing matter.

"Tsuna, hurry and get ready. You don't have time to talk to this baby," I said, shoving Tsuna out of the way with my leg. Just in time too as Reborn raised his leg to kick Tsuna's head, only to miss.

Tsuna quickly stood up, running into the bathroom.

"T'ch… Just who are you…?"

Reborn looked in my direction, as if he knew I was there.

"Tsuna's guardian… of ice…"

"So you're going to attend Namimori Middle School?" I asked, following Hayato as he walked towards Namimori Middle School. "I thought you were too smart for stuff like that, Hayato-chan~"

"Shut up, stupid woman," Hayato murmured softly. It was in a much nicer tone than the one from 2 years ago. I could tell from his aura, too, that he had grown as accustomed to me as I had grown to him. "I want to test out Vongola Decimo."

"But you have no intention of taking over for the job. It can't be… you've taken interest in someone other than me!" I exclaimed, feeling tears fill my eyes. "Fine! I'll find someone else, too! Stupid Hayato-chan! WAAHHH!"

"Stupid woman…" Hayato muttered angrily under his breath, taking my hand into his. "You know you're the only woman I would allow near me. Don't act like a child. I know you're much stronger than this."

"You're so sweet! Hayato-chan!" I exclaimed, hugging him tightly. A ghost of a smile appeared on his lips as he walked along with me on his back. "Well… I never really would leave you for anyone else, Hayato-chan. Except for Takeshi~ He's so cool and hot and loves baseball!"

"Well, good luck making him see you."

"Muu… beef JERKy."

~ Silver's P.O.V ~

Before, I've always thought of myself as a powerful being, one capable of doing anything. I could hack systems, destroy cities, kill masses of people without hesitation. But as I watched Tsuna get hit by a bullet, sent to school, confess to his childhood crush, get punched by a bastard and run away naked, I couldn't help but feel useless all of a sudden.

'I don't exist in this world… I can't interact with anything physically. Only Tsuna can see and hear me. Changing photons only creates minor illusions. I'll have to face the facts: I'm useless…'

"Silver-san?"

"Sorry Tsuna… I'm just feeling confused all of a sudden," I apologized, leaning against him as I read the worksheet given. "English… Okay Tsuna, you remember what we learned last time, right? This isn't much different."

"I can't pronounce this one," he explained, pointing to a word in the middle of the sheet.

"In this day, and in this world, forever shall there be casualties and destruction; this is punishment for those who defy me. None shall survive. I am the divine being, God," I read aloud. Oh the irony of situation, situational irony. It sounded like something I would say while slaughtering people.

"Silver-san, you're really amazing! You can read English so well," Tsuna whispered to me softly as he attempted to follow my words. He was doing very well himself, so I had no idea why he looked down upon himself.

"You'll get better. Don't forget, I'm 18," I told him, humming softly. I looked at my hand, wondering if it was time to go. I was no longer of use for Tsuna. He didn't get bullied as often and his grades were average. Plus, there was a wild Reborn ready to teach.

"I don't know what I'd do without Silver-san… These past 2 years have been the best of my entire life. I hope it continues…" Tsuna murmured, placing his head down on the table. He looked at me and smiled.

That was enough to set the tears off.

"Tsuna…"

~ Cindy's P.O.V ~

I wolf whistled when I saw Tsuna beat Mochida. You know how in the anime, it was so action packed? Well, it's even better in 4-D, like everything else. I could feel the pressure! Of Hayato-chan squeezing my wrist. Yeah…

"Vongola Decimo…"

"Silver…"

"Silver? Your friend?" Hayato asked, looking at me funny. I didn't respond as she looked at me, her hand on her hip. People always asked why someone as pretty as me hung around an ice demon like her. I never saw why.

"In truth, Silver was one of the most beautiful people there was. Her flowing chocolate hair used to be more silky than my dark chocolate hair until she showed me a trick. Her blank eyes were creepy to most, but they were like pearls to me. And her personality… was indescribable. She would always administer justice. She was so noble.

I used to be jealous of her when we were younger. She seemed to have everything… money, love, family, beauty, happiness. But then I found out. Silver never was happy. She smiled for some people like me and her brothers and glared at others. Those smiles never were true. She lost her truth while training her psychic powers. Silver didn't know herself. She didn't know what she was supposed to be.

I vowed that I would help her. I want to see the real Silver. Just like… just like how she brought out the real me. Even now, it hurts. It hurts so much to see this acting. And I never can imagine how it feels to her, the real her. Right now, Silver doesn't actually know if she's happy. She thinks she is, but…"

Hayato wiped away the tears from my eyes. Talking about Silver's real self always made me cry. She was my best friend, the only thing I had. We shared one life. We were practically one person, but we weren't. We never were. Everything was always Silver.

"OI, woman, let's go home," Hayato said, smiling softly at me.

"I will become strong…"

"For the record… I believe you always were strong…"

Those words stuck to me like a curse, but a beautiful one.
