~Chapter 5~

The Tuna and The Kokuyou Gang

'SAWADA'

It's the right place.

The house isn't too big nor small. It's just right. I looked up. I can see Tsuna's room from here. I walked into the house, past the gate.

I rang the doorbell.

*RINGGGG*

I waited for a while.

The door opened and there's a woman standing there, it was Tsuna's Mom. She's young and pretty.

"Hello, I'm Tsuna's friend." I smiled slightly, trying to give off a good expression.

"Oh, hello~ it's good to know that Tsuna has so many friends, Tsuna's not home yet, how about coming in...Why are you carrying luggages?" She asked after seeing me holding some luggage in hand.

"Oh, I came from Italy, I still haven't find a place to stay yet..." I looked down trying to make her sympathize me.

" Eh? A girl with no place to stay? That can't happen." She put a finger at her cheek, thinking hard. "Ah! why not you stay here, I'm sure we have the space and Tsu-kun won't mind."

"Is that really okay? Thanks a lot!" I broke into a big smile.

"Of course, just call me Maman, ano..."

"Lucia."

"Lucia-chan, what a cute name!" Maman said cheerfully. " What's your first name?"

"I don't have a first name."

"Oh, okay. Now let's go in, shall we?"

We both went in the house, the house is pretty quiet, maybe Lambo and I-pin is out. Maman brought me into a empty room, I put down my luggages and look around. This room is next to Tsuna's.

It's a normal room painted white, there's some furnitures, like a study table, bed, and wardrobe. But it's all a bit dusty.

"I'm sorry, we haven't been using this room for a long time so it's dusty. I'll clean it up later, Lucia-chan." Maman said as if knowing what I'm thinking about.

"It's fine Maman , I will clean it myself later , I don't want to trouble you."

"Really? Thank you, you're such a nice girl. Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook something for you?"

"It's fi-"

*GROWL*

Just when I wanted to reject her, my tummy growled. I haven't eaten for 2 days. My face flushed red.

Maman smile and said "I guess I will be going into the kitchen then, sit anywhere and be comfortable, ne ,Lucia-chan?" and she went off into the kitchen.

"Un..."

Maman's a nice person, she's kinda like my mother...

Caring, warm and sweet...

Lucia, come here, I baked some apple pie , do you want some?"

"Yes, Mama, your apple pie is the best~ thank you." I ate quickly.

"Eat slowly, your mouth's dirty now." Mama chuckled softly, she took out a handkerchief and wipe the crumbs around my mouth.

*Bang!*

The door was opened kinda brutally. I suppose the person who opened it isn't in a good mood.

Both of us look towards the door. There's a man, aged around 30, with black curly hair, having an irritated face. He's my father...

"Oh, you're back." Mama said with a monotone voice and a expressionless face.

"Yes, how are you?" My father said while smiling sweetly at Mama. But when he looked around and saw me, his expression changed. It became a hateful expression.

"H-hi , Papa..." At that time I don't get why my father would looked at me like that...

"It's done Lucia-chan~" I looked up surprised.

Maman's holding something in her hands, it's a freshly baked apple pie, I stared for a few second and smiled, saying my thank you.

Hmm, I'm bored. Guess I will need to find some entertainment. I went out of my room and saw Tsuna's room. I thought of a great idea!

I opened the door and went in.

Wow. It's a messy room. I looked around. I make it through his pile of clothes and mangas at the floor and reach his study table. I decided to play a small prank on Tsuna. I took a piece of sticky note. I work hard in writing on it.

Okay! It's done. Hehe. I put it on Reborn's bed.

I went out, grinning like an idiot. Thinking of what will happen later.

I came down from Tsuna's room and told Maman that I'm going out.

"Remember to come home before 6 for dinner~" Maman said poking her head out from the kitchen.

"I will."

I walked to the front door to wear my boots. It's brown, I like it a lot. I bought it when I was in Italy.

Just when I was about to stood up, the door opened, "I'm home, Kaa-san."

"Tsu-kun, you're back from your friend's house? Did you have fun?" Maman asked.

"Yes~"

Oh, it's Tsuna.

I said nothing and stare at him smiling, waiting for his reaction.

"E-E-Eh! W-why are you hereeeee!"

Haha, it's amusing.

"I'm staying here from now on, pleased to meet you, Tsuna-san~" I smiled innocently at him."Oh, hi Reborn." Reborn just nodded.

I pass through him quickly and step out of the house, leaving the explaining to Maman.

"Hieeeeeeee!"

Tsuna's POV

"Bye, Yamamoto. Thanks for having me." I waved at Yamamoto before leaving his house.

"No prob, Tsuna. You're always welcomed." Yamamoto said and smiled. Always that carefree.

I walked home with Reborn.

"Ne, Reborn,"' I spoke.

"What is it, Dame-Tsuna?"

"That girl just now, is she dangerous?"

"I heard rumors about her. She's the top assassin in the Lavinio Family. Because of her, the Lavinio Family is now famous for their assassination skills in the mafia. I did some research on her. Her skills is said to be very good. Maybe even stronger than you, Dame-Tsuna."

"Ehhhh, how can that be!" I'm scared. Such a scary person, she's a girl and around my age, but she's stronger than me?

Oh, we are near home now.

We went in and opened the door.

"I'm home, kaa-san." I said as I closed the door , my back facing the inside.

"Tsu-kun, you're back from your friend's house? Did you have fun?" Maman asked.

"Yes~"

I turned and saw, L-Lucia San, the assassin from the Lavinio family. Gyahhhhh!

"E-E-Eh! W-why are you hereeeee!"

She smiled.

"I'm staying here from now on, pleased to meet you, Tsuna-san~"

"Hieeeeeeeee!" Such a scary girl is staying near me?! Is she trying to kill me. Having Reborn is already worst enough!

She walked past me and Reborn

"..." No way, this can't happen. Nooooo!

"Until when are you going to stand there shocked? Why not ask Maman." Reborn said as he went off to the living room.

I went and ask Kaa-san for details. And I got a reply.

"Ara, Tsu-kun, don't you feel bad for a girl that has no place to stay? So we are letting her stay, treat her nicely, ne?"

Sigh, I went back to my room. Reborn suddenly came to me, holding a piece of paper.

"Tsuna, I'm glad you finally realize that my training is good for you."

"Eh, what are you talking about?"

"Here." He handed me the paper he was holding.

It's a note. I took it and read it.

It says,

To Reborn:

I realize that your training is very useful and very enjoyable. I hope you can increase it. I want to work even harder from now on.

From Tsuna.

"Since you wanted it, get ready for tenfold more of your training." Reborn said while smirking.

"B-but, I didn't write this!" I tried to explain.

"But it looks like handwriting. I'm going to add your training anyway. So deal with it Dame-Tsuna. " Reborn said and turned around, walking out of the room. Not giving me another chance in explaining.

Hieeeeeee, why is this happening to me!

Reborn's POV

Hm? A note? I picked it up and read it.

It looks like Tsuna's handwriting, but it's not. She must have tried hard to imitate Tsuna's handwriting.

This is certainly her doing. I smirked.

But, I won't let such a great opportunity slip. I will increase Tsuna's training.

I should thank her.

Lucia's POV

Now, I wonder where I should go... I think I'll take a peek at Mukuro.

I disappear in front of Tsuna's house and reappearing at somewhere near Kokuyou Land. I look around. I'm at a highway. This highway is a bit familiar... Where have I seen it... Oh! Of course, in the anime, where Tsuna first came to find and defeat Mukuro. That highway.

I covered myself with mists before going near Kokuyou Land. Now I can't be seen. My mists are strong enough after all. I walked into Kokuyou Land, there's a warehouse. It's kinda old. I went in and saw the Kokuyou Gang inside.

Everyone was doing their own stuff, no interactions at all. Ken's eating some snacks, Chikusa is cleaning his yoyos with a handkerchief, Birds beside the window,playing with his birds, the Bloody Twins are staring at each other at the corner. Weird people. M.M is sitting on a sofa with Mukuro. Mukuro is sitting on the sofa, eyes closed with a calm expression. I guess he's taking a nap.

Hmm? Lancia's not around. Guess he doesn't like to stick around with the Kokuyou Gang.

I walked over and stood right in front of Mukuro. I stared at him, observing him. It's been 3 years since he last came and see me. He look older now, his hair is a bit longer, still pineapple-styled, he's wearing the Kokuyou uniform. I walked closer, attempting to tease him.

Just when I walked closer, I think my pendant glowed.

Did my pendant just glowed?

I took it out, there's nothing different. Guess it's my imagination. I reached towards his face. I bet it's soft.

"Who's there?" The voice I missed rang softly yet clearly. My hand stopped in mid air. H-how did he know? My mists should be strong enough that ordinary people can't see me. Oh. Right. Rokudo Mukuro is not an ordinary person.

Uh-oh. I better get going first, don't want to be discovered. Huh? I can't vanish? Why?

"I used my mists to prevent you from leaving, kufufu." He summoned his trident out of nowhere. "Now show yourself. Or, I'll make you, kufufufu."

I backed off a few steps.

"Mukuro-chan, who are you talking to?" M.M looked around. She can't see me of course.

"A mouse that broke in."

No way, what should I do... No! My mists are dispersing, my body is a bit materialized. Damn.

"Oh? I can see you now, you mouse." Mukuro aimed his trident at me and released some illusions.

I nearly got hit but managed to dodge it at the last second.

Phew. Ah! My body is getting clearer by the second. I concentrated all my mists on face. I must not let him know it's me. Then I used some illusions to counter his.

"Oya, oya, you're trying to attack me?" He look at me, amused. He used even more illusions now.

"..." I said nothing as I used more illusions. One of my illusion got through his and went towards him.

"Wha-" He didn't expect it coming.

Mukuro's cheek now has a cut. It's bleeding.

Oops. I thought I used weaker illusions to avoid hurting him?

"How dare you hurt me." I can see a vein on his head.

"Mukuro-sama, let me eliminate him." Chikusa said while holding some of his yoyos.

"No need, I will deal with him myself."

Oops, he sound pretty angry. Guess I hurt his pride?

Mukuro came closer, suddenly my pendant glowed. Wh-what?

But it seem Mukuro didnt realize because he's too engrossed in revenging on me.

"Mukuro-chan,your pendant- Kyaa!" M.M saw it and tried to tell Mukuro. Che, nosy girl. I used my illusions to silence her. She fainted.

I run towards the exit. Surprisingly, no one chased after me. Weird. But who cares. Its good for me.

I ran for another distance before stopping. Man, that was dangerous. Guess I'm not going to visit again until the Kokuyou arc starts. Thank goodness he didn't found out it's me. I'm still nervous and panting hard.

Now, I should head back home.

Suddenly someone grabbed my hand.

I look back.

I feel bad for the last chapter, it's short. So I decided to update a new chapter as soon as I can to compensate.

I let Mukuro refer Lucia as a 'he' because Mukuro doesn't know it's Lucia.

The next chapter will contain Mukuro's POV of when Lucia came into Kokuyou Land.
