Dear Friend,

On my way to school today I met another strange child. This time it was a little Chinese girl. She was wearing a red traditional martial artists robe and her hair was pulled back into twin braids. She almost attacked me on the way to school, but Gokudera showed up and almost killed her with DYNAMITE! Who cares dynamite in their clothes?! I'm really scared and I fear for Yamamoto's safety. Why am I always surrounded by the weird psychos?! Just what did I do wrong in my past life?! Anyway, I was able to stop Gokudera and the girl was fine. She introduced herself as I-pin and she seemed to be around Lambo's age. She apologized as well, saying she had been sent to kill a man who looked like me. She then showed me a picture of said man and I cringed. He definitely did not look like me. It was some forty year old man who was fat and bald. I really wonder if this was a prank.

Anyway, she also said she had nowhere to stay. Knowing that Lambo was probably lonely at home I told her she could come to my house. Gokudera immediately rejected the idea, saying a dangerous person shouldn't be at my house because she was in the mafia. Great, Gokudera is in on it with Reborn. He's "in the mafia" too. Joy. Are all people from Italy "in the mafia?" I hope Dad and Giotto don't become crazy as well. I'd have to kick them out of the house if they were. I don't need any more weirdos. I-pin is staying at my house now.

I was late to school because I had to take I-pin to my house before going back to school. This made me get bitten to death. I was sore for most of the day, which was not fun. I don't think I like this constant "let's beat Tsuna" game that people seem to be playing. At least Mom was happy when I brought I-pin to our house. She prepared a separate room for her since she felt Lambo and I-pin shouldn't share a room. I didn't even know our house had this many rooms. We each have our own separate rooms, save Mom and Dad because they share, so that means we have at least five bedrooms. I had no idea.

During lunch while Yamamoto, Gokudera, Kyoko, Hana, and I were on the roof eating lunch, a senior—Mochida-senpai, I think—came looking for Kyoko. He told her that Ryohei was getting into a fight on school grounds with some kid from another school. Hibari hasn't been called to the scene yet, so the senior was hoping that Kyoko could stop her brother before he needed to be called. The five of us rushed to the fight and saw Ryohei beating up a whole group, not just one kid. Kyoko immediately told him to stop and he did, after giving one last punch to the teen he was faced. She then immediately escorted him to the infirmary while some of Hibari's "friends" cleaned up the mess and took the other teens to the hospital. I use the term friend lightly because I don't think Hibari actually has friends…

After that Hayato pulled her over to the side to talk to her, which confused me. I think it also confused Hana and Yamamoto because they asked if everything was okay. The two just dismissed the subject and we moved on to another topic, though now I forget what it was. I couldn't help but think that something serious was going on, but even though I wanted to help I couldn't. I'm still an outsider, even though I am now their friend.

It really doesn't help that this is the same sick feeling I got before the accident.

Love always,

Tsuna
