The young man snapped a quick picture of the school and sent it to his base. Although he had nothing but obedience for his father, there was no point in disobeying him. His father was the boss of the certainly most dangerous of all families- the Varia... at least that's what his father said. Pulling his black jacket closer to his shoulders, the young man turned away as two people were coming

close, and dialed Xanxus, who was waiting for him to call immediately. "It's definitely Kagisora and Rebirth," he murmured into the phone, speaking in Italian.

"They're heading for the school. I'll talk to them when it's lunch break." Snapping his phone shut, the young man set off to the school when the two targets walked ahead of him. He moved silently through the morning- crowd of students, looking like another mere teenager, unnoticed in his black pants, polished shoes, and over large jacket, his black hair moving steadily with the breeze. Some students acknowledged him as a discipline committee dog, which was good so they wouldn't come close.

Despite his scary appearance, he was only acting because Xanxus disliked his true attitude. He and his new Varians came to Japan only to aid the Vongola's- maybe steal a Vongola ring or two, but usually to help them. The young man's lips twisted. He felt uneasy having to hurt the 11th boss, but it was the orders his father had commanded him to..

Oh pity him..

Rebirth slowed down, allowing Kagisora to catch up with her. Admitting herself a cat smile, he pointed to the Namimori High entrance.

"This is your school right?" she asked loudly, adding a sentence, "some of your companions will meet you there- maybe a tenth generation will visit." "What?" Sora asked tightly.

"Your Vongola guardians." "Oh.." Now he remembered. It wasn't a dream at all- everything was real. Too real to be true anyway. Many questions throbbed his head- where was his father?

Are my companions nice? Who is really, the tenth generations? He was trying hard to remember until Rebirth took his hand and entered the school, forcing their way through the crowded students. Over the years, Namimori High was available for all grades- including university students, which was impressing to Rebirth. "I'm not sure why I have to go with you; I can go by myself!" Sora complained weakly, his eyes shifting to others looking at him with wonder. "No," the baby snapped, gripping Sora's arm tightly. "Everyone will have a chance to fight you- and I have to tutor you for that. If you go alone, anything dangerous could happen.."

"Who..?" he asked, disoriented, and getting more confused by the second. He hasn't felt this confused since his final exams last year. That time, he almost failed, but he made it by one point.

The auditorium was in view now, and the two stepped inside, quickly sitting at the back where no one was sitting at. The ceremony soon started as dozens of teachers assembled near the stage and the principal of Namimori High came in view, welcoming everyone with a loud tone. "E-er.. Rebirth?" Sora loitered close to her. "What if the teachers find you?" Rebirth said nothing, concentrating fiercely at a normal looking young man. "Uh.. Rebirth?"

The young man ignored the baby's unpromising glare; so she already knew he was Xanxus' child? "Impressive, but I won't leave it to that.." he muttered under his breath, forcing a sly smile.

The man made no movement and focused at the principal, who was calling names of the students belonging to their home teachers one by one. "Kagisora Sawada." ... "Kagisora Sawada?" "Y-yes!" Sora jumped up. "Psst! Get in my bag Rebirth!" Without a fret, Rebirth jumped inside his book bag and quickly zipped it up, leaving a small gap allowing herself to breathe.

Luckily for Suzako Sasagawa, the streets were empty and most people have driven to their homes or stayed at nearby shops. Many feared the mafia, often rumoring them as savage killers- which was true.. except this family. As the fancy car drove on, Suzako shivered, and this time the chill came from more than the air conditioner, but his fear of meeting a Hibari. Kyouya was far more than enough. Oh boy, he can't wait to meet his child.. The car soon parked near the school and the Sasagawa exited it slowly, unsure if he was late for the ceremony or not, but also cautious of a familiar disciplinary uniform.

"Excuse me, could you lead me where my class is? It's 2B.." Suzako asked a nearby teacher for assistance. The teacher agreed to lead him to his home room and within a few minutes, his class was in view.

He slid the doors open as curious eyes looked his way. "Teacher, someone's late." A random student informed the female teacher. "Well come in late student. You must be Suzako Sasagawa right?" she looked under her glasses at the attendance sheet. "Yes ma'am." Suzako bowed. "I'm very sorry for being late." "... You'll sit next to Kagisora. Sora, raise your hand!"

"H-huh?" Sora eyes flew open from his short nap. "Sora! Raise your hand so our new student will know where to sit!" His hand rose immediately when the strict voice of his teacher struck his ear drums.

Suzako walked straight to his seat and sat unusually still unlike the rest of the students who was slumping on their seats. And the class went on.

Sora managed to glance at his classmate before the teacher caught him. The young man had curly brown hair, most likely foreign. He wore the same uniform as a middle school student, but something struck Sora that made him completely sure of something about him.. He was much older than them. He shrugged the thought away, doubting himself that that boy wasn't really old..

"Finally, lunch!" Sora announced happily to himself and to Rebirth. The period where everyone had their wonderful free time! He then rounded to a corner to the lunch line, picked up a metal tray, and chose his pick of food. When he was done, he walked to an empty table when he stopped suddenly. A cute brunette haired girl was sitting alone with her food untouched. She looked bored- fiddling with her soda pop. And that was when Sora decided to sit next to her..

Haruka stiffened when a red headed boy came to sit at her table. She glared menacing at him. Who the hell does he think he is? Growling a few muffled curses in disgust, she trailed to the corner of the table, along with her tray of untouched food.

Kagisora blinked in puzzlement as the girl trailed off to the corner. Was it something he did..? Slowly, he swallowed his sweet potato in mini gulps and looked down at his feet. Maybe she wasn't that social to boys.. Curiously, he looked at the girl in wonder. That was the biggest mistake he had ever made.

A heartbeat later, Haruka stood unnaturally still. Then in an instant, she grabbed Sora by the tie and held him close to her face, her eyes flashing with anger. His stupid face was so annoying! Why was he looking at her like that? "Who the hell do you think you are? You keep staring at me like a complete stupido!" Haruka threw him at the cold hard floor as baffled screams from students arose from the lunch hall. "Uwaaaa! I'm sorry! I won't bother you again!" Sora cried, his screams rising until- bonk! Something hard hit him on the head when he realized it was Rebirth, who wasn't pleased at all.

Rebirth stared down at Sora, disconcerted at the sight of a boy being beated up by a mere girl. He has a lot of learning to do.. She glanced at the girl, immediately taking position to punch at her target. "Haruka Gokudera," Rebirth snapped. Haruka blinked in surprise. How did this baby know her name? She looked strangely familiar- described by her father, Rebirth matched the baby.

"Who you threw right now is Kagisora Sawada, your Vongola boss."

"... H-HAH?"

Haruka threw herself on her knees like a falling tree narrowing missing Rebirth's shoes by an inch.

"I'M VERY SORRY ELEVENTH!"

"E-eh? U-um, it's ok! Please don't hurt yourself!"

"Yes Sir!"

"E-er.. please call me Sora, Haruka-chan.."

"Yes Sora-senpai!"

"P-please just call me the correct honorific.."

"It's correct Sora-senpai!"

"Ah! You're in the same class as mine!" Haruka remarked happily, "2B right?" "Mhm." Kagisora gazed at the bright blue sky as the storm guardian leaned on the fence, shaking her soda pop casually. "If you know Gokudera Hayato, that's my dad! He's soo cool, but he's nothing compared to your father!"

"Yeah.." Sora's eyes saddened. The thought of his father missing made him feel sick. He thought of his mom, Kyoko, how she felt when she got news that her husband was missing.. "A-ah! I'm sorry- did I upset you?" Haruka's expression worried. "It's ok.. I feel a bit down about him, that's all.." Sora rubbed his eyes before his tears started to fall.

"Eleventh! Please don't cry! Here, have my soda!" she held out her soda can at her boss. The pain in her eyes were real. She felt guilty making Kagisora cry; she remembered herself like that when her father left for missions.

Sora thankfully took the soda can and drank in full gulps. He didn't care if Haruka drank it- he just didn't want to sob in front of her. "Do you feel better now..?"

The Sawada blushed. "A-ah! Yes! Thanks.." He hiccuped. "Heh heh.. I must have drank to fast didn't I?" Haruka laughed blissfully. Her laugh was the sweetest sound Sora heard from a girl- he never had a relationship with any female about his age anyway.. His heart skipped a beat until a young man stepped in front of them.

"Are you Kagisora Sawada?" the young man inquired. Sora's eyes quivered with fear. This man looked dangerous.. was this danger that Rebirth said about?

"Yeah, that's him. What are you going to do about it?" Haruka stepped in front of him protectively, glaring at the intruder like a angry cat.

"Ha! I should ask you the same question!" the young man laughed villainously. "I am Akio, Xanxus' child! Sora, I challenge you to a duel here, at midnight! I'll give you time to get ready in a week, so prepare yourself, Sawada!" Akio laughed again and put his foot on the fence. "We'll meet again, very soon!" Like a bird, he jumped off the roof and disappeared after a heartbeat.

Sora's heart paced. Xanxus.. the Varia boss! "Damn him! He's not mighty at all! ... Sora-kun, are you alright?"

"Yeah.. Uh Haruka-chan, can I ask you something?"

"Anything!"

"You know that brown haired guy who was late and sat next to me? Is he from our Vongola Family?"

"... Yes, I think so, but I'm not completely sure.. My papa told me he's a Sasagawa like Kyoko and his name is Suzako. He's the sun guardian." Haruka explained shortly.

"How old is he?"

"Eighteen."

"So that's why he looked strangely older than us! Haruka-chan, do you think he's supervising us?"

Haruka thought for a moment.

"I guess," she said.

...

Rrrriiiinng! The school bell rang, dismissing lunch to their next period.

"We have to go to class! Hurry, we have to go!" Sora exclaimed and hurled towards the door with her. They forgot the soda, but what was also missing?

... Where was Rebirth?
