I've been forgetting to do this for this story and I'm sorry if they tend to annoy some readers, however... Just to let you know there might be a lot of 'she' and 'Rin' because I originally wrote this in first person and then decided I wanted it in third person so I went back and changed it.

I don't own KHR, only my OC.

"Hmmm…" Rin hummed, tapping her fingers on the desk. It was lunch break and she had woken up on a park bench, so she didn't make or prepare any food. She stared at the world outside the classroom, everything was quiet, serene. No classmates bothered her; they knew she wasn't the talkative type. On the first day of school, kids were asking her questions like any other new student. Rin had answered bluntly, boring them with normal answers such as yes, and no, and they left.

Her eyes slowly moved to one of her classmate's desk, Sasagawa Ryohei to be exact. He was one of the loudest people she knows, who is also part of the boxing club. Though today, he wasn't here. She got up from her desk, moved out of class and walked around the school until she came upon the classroom she was looking for.

It was the one she had barged into on her first day, a second-year classroom. Rin couldn't tell why, but her mind has started taking an interest in a group of kids.

First, there was Tsuna, also known as Dame-Tsuna. He's a scared little boy who has random outbursts where he shouts 'Reborn' and his clothes rip off like the hulk. She's only experienced it once at the beach, but other stories had been told. Such as when he confessed his love to Sasagawa's sister, Kyoko.

Kyoko is just a kind and innocent girl who is an idol to all her peers. She hangs out a lot with Miura Haru.

Haru is a girl madly in love with Tsuna, for reasons unknown to Rin. She's a nice and energetic girl who sometimes fights with people, aka Gokudera.

Gokudera Hayato is a crazy boy who is majorly overprotective of Tsuna, going as far as blowing people up with dynamites he keeps on himself. Very popular among the girls in the school, he addresses Tsuna as Jyuudaime and fights a lot with Yamamoto Takeshi.

Yamamoto Takeshi, another popular boy in the school. Loves the sport baseball and is oblivious to something's around him, and very carefree. When Gokudera fights and yells at him, he laughs it off.

Then there's the baby. The one that's almost always with Tsuna, Rin doesn't tend to notice him, but has started to pay attention since yesterday's events in the shopping district.

She opened the door to find the classroom filled with students talking and eating. She surveys the area and sees Kyoko talking with a girl who is unrecognizable. Kyoko looks up at the sound of the door opening and waves her over.

Rin shake her head and waves as an apology and leaves. Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto weren't in there. So she left towards the roof. Ryohei had once asked Rin if she wanted to eat on the roof with the three, but she had politely declined. When she thought he was going to leave he simply sat down and ate with her, talking about the boxing club and some other things she had tuned out.

Rin opened the door leading to the roof and saw Hibari Kyoya fighting against an older man with a whip. They both turned to the movement of the door opening so she stood under the gaze of two powerful men. Turning around she walked out of there as to not bother their battle.

Rin had to admit she found it odd that there were people fighting on the roof. Though then again, it's the president of the disciplinary committee.

Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Sasagawa weren't at school. She sighed, slightly disappointed.

There's no way they could all be sick at the same time, so their probably skipping, she thought to herself. She went back to the classroom zoning everything out and waiting for the school day to be over.

Rin yawned, and thought about how late it was when she had fallen asleep. She thought about how she was going to go back to sleep for the day, then tomorrow she would skip school, and think about everything then, about what she was supposed to do next.

When the bell had rung, Rin speed walked out of there going straight home, though sadly, she ran into someone she didn't want to see today.

She just wanted a peaceful nap, but now she got the feeling that a headache was about to start up soon.

"Rin-san!" Miura Haru had waved and ran over to me. She was carefully holding a bag in her arms.

"Hey…" She eyed the bag, after the experience with Bianchi, she was worried more about what people cook and what they put in.

Haru noticed her staring and explained. "I heard that Tsuna-san was training, so I'm bringing him stuff to take a break!" Haru looked quite pleased with herself and the idea she came up with.

"Training?" Rin questioned. Sure Tsuna needed to beef up, and stop acting scared, but training… Something just didn't fit right.

"Do you want to come?" Haru asked.

Rin opened her mouth to decline, but shut it. 'It would be interesting to see Tsuna train.' She nodded her head and Haru led the way.

As they got closer to the destination, a large explosion could be seen and heard somewhere up ahead. Haru whipped her head towards the other female and whispered. "We should go around, just to be safe."

And that's exactly what they ended up doing. Though as they passed through the main area where the explosion happened, Rin couldn't help but take a look. There she saw Gokudera, heaving with bruises and cuts all over, along with scorched skin. He didn't look to good, like he was going to pass out at any moment.

She placed her hand on Haru's shoulder, stopping her from proceeding any further. When she turned to question Rin, the Namimori student simply pointed in towards Gokudera. When she saw him, she looked a little worried. Even if they did fight a lot, they were still friends. It reminded Rin a lot of the kind of relationship she had with friend.

"Gokudera!" Haru called out to him, but he completely ignored her, continuing on with his training, so the two continued towards Tsuna.

Haru had stopped in front of her as they made their way to a cliff. She pulled a bundle of rope from the bag she was carrying, went over to a tree and started tying it. While she was doing that, Rin went over to the cliff and looked down. Below she saw the familiar shade of brown hair, next to a fire. Her stomach clenched as she watched him talk to the baby. It felt weird to her, watching them, like she was creeping on them. She moved away from the edge just as rope was thrown down.

"Here I go." Haru announced and started her descend. Rin wanted to stop her and ask if it was safe, but she was already inching her way down. She watched her go down, and noticed something and was about to tell her, though she had noticed too late.

The rope was still too short. It didn't make it to the ground. And as Haru was about to move her legs down, she lost the balance of holding her weight up and began to struggle. In that moment there was only one thing on her mind.

"Tsuna-san! Help! I can't get down!"

Tsuna looked up at the call of his name and was shocked to see Haru dangling from the rope. Rin saw a blush throw its way across his face.

'He saw her underwear.'

Rin suddenly remembered she had a skirt on also and was wondering how she planned on getting down, all the while Tsuna was saving Haru. When her feet safely reached the ground, she shoved the bag in his arms blushing furiously.

"I brought you something's to take a break!"

"T-Thanks!"

Both were tomato heads. Then Haru's blush disappeared quickly as she remembered something. She turned to look up at where Rin was looking down at them.

"Rin-san! Come on!" She waved me down. Tsuna looked up and saw her standing there, he then thought about what had just happened with Haru and quickly turned around, allowing her to go down the rope. As she made it to the end, she dropped down, landing safely in a crouch position.

Tsuna turned back around after hearing her school shoes hit the ground. "G-Good afternoon Rin-san." He stuttered again, just like always.

"Sawada." She nodded, acknowledging his presence.

"How's you training going, Tsuna-san?" Haru asked excitedly. She sat down at the fire, next to the baby. Rin remembered hearing Kyoko call him Reborn. Tsuna took a seat across from Reborn, leaving her the space across from Haru, next to Reborn.

Tsuna sighed and hung his head. "No good."

Reborn turned his head towards Rin, he was smirking, but she couldn't tell what he was thinking. She had faced him with an expressionless face. "We haven't properly introduced ourselves. I'm Reborn, a hitman and Tsuna's home tutor."

"Rin." She said as she found something weird about him. The way he acted, was not normal for a normal baby. Shadowy eyes studied him for a while before noticing something that had her thinking even more. There was a yellow pacifier around his neck. Rin knows she seen something like that before, and she knew what it meant. It's just in a memory she don't want to recall, something that pains her to remember everything she had locked away.

What now holds her emotions, and keeps them in check.

Rin decided it was time to ask the question she was patiently waiting to ask. Though Reborn had beaten her to it.

"You want to know why Tsuna's training." He stated looking straight at me. She nodded, though he looked over to Haru who was also listening. From the corner of her eye, she saw Tsuna panic, as if he didn't want them to know. "He's training for a fight."

Before she could ask anything, Haru interrupted. "Oh yeah! We saw Gokudera along the way here! Is he participating in the fight too? Though I wonder if he's doing okay with his training." She glanced at Rin.

Tsuna seemed shock to hear about Gokudera. "Eh?! Gokudera's here too?!"

Haru nodded her head. "Yeah. Across the bridge, I called to him, but he ignored me. He looked injured and ruined."

Reborn stepped into the conversation. "Was there anyone else with him?"

"No, he was alone." Haru answered all the questions they asked her.

As soon as her hand touched the cold metal knob to her apartment, she instantly knew something was wrong. Slowly, Rin opened the door, not a sound was made. Swiftly, she crossed the living room and pulled open the wooden drawer from the coffee table. In it, held a black Glock 19 pistol along with a full cartridge.

Snapping the cartridge into place she held the gun up as she moved towards the next room. Nothing was out of place, the kitchen looked untouched as well as the living room. Moving into mher bedroom, a drawer that she made sure was always shut was slightly opened.

Standing over the drawer and shutting it all the way, a muffled bump from the next room over was heard. Running, she burst into the room with my gun aimed at the height of an average human. The dark figure was at the window, the black mask covered their face, as well as the dark clothing. The person jumped as she shot out her first three bullets which broke the glass rather than skin, screams from below were heard from passerby's.

She ran over to the broken and jagged window, looking below for any sign or whereabouts of the intruder. There was none. Just broken glass strewn around a gathering group of onlookers. The dark haired girl let out a harsh breath of air from frustration as she sat down on the floor, the siren of the police getting louder and louder, ringing in her ears. Rin started wondering why she seemed to be fazing in and out, and why her eyes seemed to get blurry. Shifting into a more comfortable position, she then felt the cause, there was a knife embedded into her left side and blood was seeping through.

Pulling out the silver with her right hand, she studied it before letting out a chuckle. "Hehe…" Leaving the gun on the ground, she held her face in her hand.

Clink.

"Ahahaha!" A crazed smile had formed as she let the knife drop to the floor, and let out hysterical laughter.

Suddenly, just as the smile had appeared, it disappeared. "Just like old times…" She whispered to the object she had pulled out from her skirt pocket before going unconscious.

"I'm sorry, but we have to contact somebody, whether it's family, or friends." The nurse had told Rin. They checked her ID, but it only had her first name on it so they didn't know her family or where she was from. "Rin-san?"

Rin held her breath, staring out the window waiting for the nurse to leave. When she heard the door slide shut behind her, she turned around to double check. Looking at the clock, it read 9:00pm. It's been only a few hours since the incident and she heard that it was even on the news. She shut her eyes and breathed deeply, though they quickly opened at the sound of footsteps outside her door.

She thought it was the nurse again and glared at the door, so that when she walked in she would know Rin was not in the mood.

Oddly though, it turned out to be Tsuna, along with Reborn on his shoulder. He shrieked a little when he sensed her glare, and her face slowly went back to normal as she realized who it was.

"R-Rin-san! I-I saw on the news that someone…" Tsuna trailed off as if he didn't know whether he should mention it or not.

"Broke into my apartment." She finished for him. He nodded his head and a heavy silence filled the air. She opened her mouth to ask about his training for the 'fight' but Reborn spoke before she could.

"Was anything stolen?" He asked with a glint in his eyes. She shook her head, and her hands tightened on the blanket.

"W-Well I'm glad you're okay. I better get going, so I'll see you…" He trailed off again, he was probably going to say I'll see you tomorrow or at school, but she guessed he wasn't going. As he turned to walk out the door, Reborn jumped off his shoulders and onto the chair next to the bed. "R-Reborn?"

"I'm staying here a little longer Dame-Tsuna." He said a little fiercely, causing Tsuna to not argue.

"O-Okay… Just don't do anything crazy…" He mumbled the last part and left.

Rin watched him leave, and once he was out of hearing range, Reborn had spoken. "How's your side doing?"

"Painful." She simply replied, and then quickly moved on. "You didn't come to talk about my injury."

"You're right, though Tsuna was truly worried about you when he saw it on the news." He tilted his fedora to shadow half of his eyes.

"Hmmm…" It didn't really matter to her, yet there was that small thanks of appreciation.

"The person who attacked you is dangerous, and they'll attack again soon. If not anytime soon, then ten days from now." He explained while keeping his head down. The room seemed to darken as he progressed. "Ten days from now, Tsuna and the others will be playing a fatal game…" He waited for a response, if she had any.

"Why are you telling me this?" Rin asked softly.

He smirked, the shadow now completely covering his face except his mouth. "So that you may prepare." Then he hopped of the bed, and walked out the door. Looking back out the window, the weak moonlight shined down.

Her hand unconsciously moved to the damaged side and held the bandages. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, the hospital scent of blood mixed with medicine sent tingles down her spine, the hair on the back of her neck stood up. Her hand twitched in reflex as the smell of blood became stronger, her nerves quivering with excitement.

'No.'

She had to stop. Breathing deeply once more she relaxed and kept relaxing. "Thank you Tsuna…" Rin whispered to the lonely air.

That night, she didn't sleep.

Thank you for reading!
