The whole household was stunned into silence as Nana and the now known daughter of the matriarch of the house embraced.
"Oh, Yu-chan! You finally came home! I've missed you so much! Things just weren't the same without you!" the brunette exclaimed with a few tears falling down her face. "Yu-chan" just hugged her tighter before letting her go at arm length.
"I missed you, too, Okaa-san. And I missed my little brothers as well," she looked over her mom's shoulder to see the others poking their heads from the kitchen.
Ieyaku smiled big and pulled her into a hug.
"Yukishi-neechan!" He bellowed in happiness. Yukishi laughed joyfully as she was hugged tightly by her youngest brother.
"My you've grown so big, Iey-kun! It seems only yesterday when I saw you as a cute little boy," she commented when she got a good look at him. He smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head.
"Nee-chan~ don't embarrass me like that. But what did you expect? For me to turn out like Dame-Tsuna?" he replied casually. Yukishi narrowed her eyes before shifting them to the said brunette that was fidgeting with a blush and slightly hurtful look.
The black-haired woman walked up to him and took in his appearance. She noticed the signs of abuse because of a bandage peeking from under his short sleeved shirt. She saw how much he tried to shrink underneath her stare but, at the same time, holding back the tears threatening to fall. He looked a bit malnourished and trembling. But despite that, she could see all the emotions that she saw in him when he was young: pride, gentleness, and strength.
"Il mio bel leone*. You have also changed," she said gently as she brushed his cheeks with her fingers. Tsuna leaned into the touch and gave a small smile. She wrapped her arms around him and they stayed there for a while until the silence was broken.
"Ne, ne. Who are you and how do you know, Tsuna-nii?" Lambo tugged on Yukishi's pants. The beautiful raven let go of her brother to stoop down to the five-year-old's height.
"Hai, I know Tsu-kun very well. And my name is Yukishi Sawada. Nice to meet you," she introduced herself. Lambo let out a boisterous laugh.
"GYAHAHAHAHA! I am Lambo-san, but you may call me Lambo-sama! And that's Tail-Head and Stupid Fuuta over there," the cow-child waved his hands in the direction of the other two kids.
"That not nice, Broccoli Monster!" The little Chinese girl indignantly responded.
"Mou~ Lambo! I'm not stupid!" The older boy said. Lambo stuck his tongue out at the two before he was lifted from the floor by the new house mate.
"My, you three are energetic. And it's not nice to call people names, Lambo-chan," Yukishi lightly reprimanded her fellow raven.
The two kids stepped up to her and introduced themselves as I-pin and Fuuta de la Stella. The next two where Bianchi and Reborn and the Hitman questioned on why she don't have the similar hair color as Tsuna and Ieyaku and she replied, "It's because I'm their half-sister," and just left it at that.
Everyone got to eating with Ieyaku constantly trying to steal his brother's food but Yuki would smack his hand with her chopsticks before he could get too close. Reborn and Bianchi watched in amusement before the Arcobaleno forced the dirty-blonde to get dressed for school with Tsuna following after.
When the teens were out of the house and Nana went to clean the dishes, Yukishi turned to the two Mafiosi with a suspicious glare.
"Now, what is an Arcobaleno and the Poison Scorpion doing in my home?" Yuki questioned. Reborn and Bianchi both tensed when she said their names in the underworld.
"I am here to train Ieyaku as the next Vongola Boss," the chibi answered with a guarded tone. Bianchi shrugged and flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"I'm here because I want to bring Reborn back to the underworld, but I decided that I will help him since he is on a mission to train the brat," she said. Yukishi studied them for a while before nodding. She bowed and introduced herself.
"I am Yukishi Sawada, the Silent Death."
