"Life is 10% what happens to you

and 90% is how you react to it."

- Charles R. Swindoll

"Sakiecchiiiiii! Why are you being so mean to-"

Saki chose that moment to hang up by promptly slamming the Hibari manor's home phone (which was now her own) back down onto the receiver. Why the hell did Kyoya have to get her, her own private phone line, in her room at his house, with her own number—but the main question was how the hell did Kise Ryōta of all people get her number? Groaning into her pillow, Saki buried her face deep into the soft bliss filled silk covered pillow case until she shot up, hair sticking up in a manner that could be described as a Medusa style, "I bet it was Masaomi!" her damn childhood friends who were not from Namimori! Slowly leaving her shiki futon (got why was Hibari so traditional), and running her fingers through her hair and grimacing at the knots and tangles, she continued to ignore the ringing of the house phone before the beep went off and she heard the voice mail being left.

"Sakiecchi! So cruel! I just wanted you to know I started to work at that Zonen boy thing as a model! I got scouted while I was wandering Tokyo with Masaecchi! I heard my cousin is envious that I got excepted into Teikō Chūgakkō! I'll keep you updated—ack! Ouch! H-Hey senpai stop that—wah! I'll stop! No more make up—ouuuuch! Waaah-"

Staring at her answering machine with a an expression she would dub the Excalibur face, she could not help but shake her head. Of course those cold-hearted cousins would be her friends, it was hard to earn their respect but in the end everything was fine. Yawning she moved to get out of the futon only to give a strangled sound as she saw Giotto floating before her with a gentle smile yet the amused glint in those lovely, lovely eyes of his showed he had of coursed heard it all.

"Good morning, Saki." Giotto watched the young teen who simply threw a pillow at him in which he had caught, he saw her alarmed expression before his gaze shifted towards the pillow he had in his grasp, "You should really control your Seishin-teki atsuryoku, Saki." placing it down he simply let his feet touch the tatami clad floor before moving around and opening the shojo that opened to the garden, across from her room and wooden walkways was Hibari's own room, he watched as the door was thrown open and he moved to the side just as the young Skylark soared, "Morning Kyo-chan~!"

A shriek left Saki as Hibari had crashed right into her, her body being thrown to the floor due to the older boys weight, she laid there under him stunned and a bit breathless, her lips against her friend's neck, 'He wears a yukata to sleep?' she felt something stir and she was ready to kill someone.

A growl left Hibari as he pushed himself up, hands on either side of Saki's head he glared down at her as if accusing her of getting in his way before turning to face the sly bastard who dared to ware Western clothes in his home, "Watashi wa anata o kamudarou." in a flash he sprung, no tonfa clutched in his hands as he swept his foot up in an attempt for a high round house to the other's head but his barefoot was met with the resistance of the other's arm, a bloodthirsty smile came upon his face, "Wao."

Saki could only stare in disbelief as the two took the fight outside, only to promptly drag her palm down her face as Hibari was sent flying to the large koi pond only to kick off one of the large rocks within the water and fly back towards Giotto, "Yeah no...way to early." slowly standing she walked to the shojo and shut it ever so slightly but left it open enough to hear the fighting, "I swear my life is like some shonen supernatural manga series...who knew the Hibari clan's compound was built upon the lands of Abe no Seimi...no wonder he can be solid...ish...or wait maybe its just Kyoya who can...yeah no." she stopped that train wreck of a thought as she went to go shower, change, grab a pudding cup and head to school. Hibari would catch up eventually when she left after all Giotto was bound to the glove and her in a sense due to it being the catalyst or—whatever was the term? Should she use Shaman King as a reference? Ugh her head hurt.

School was going as well as school could be going as she lethargically walked the halls of Namimori chūgakkō, hands shoved deep into her uniform pockets. It came to no shocker when Hibari had promptly broken the door of her classroom right out of the wall, demanded her to follow him and thus start another fight with Giotto up on the roof. While they were in their own world of one wanting to beat the other senseless while the other was just enjoying taunting she decided for her own sanity (and safety) to leave the roof-top, raise a hand to a puzzled Tetsuya and said to let it be and wandered down to the first-year hallways, "What's next? A baseball to the-" of course she never got to finish as the sound of shattering glass was heard and force so hard that it reminded her of the time she almost was hit by a ball from some weird ganguro with dark blue hair that time she went past a basketball court in a park so when she awoke in the nurse's office with one teary-eyed Kyoko, a furious Ryohei (Oh hey when did nii-chan get here), along with a sheepish Yamamato Takeshi she knew her day was going to get interesting, "So...what happen?"

"Kyokutan'na! Saki are you alright?!" Sasagawa Ryohei was instantly at his youngest sister's side watching and taking her in. He saw how her hair was return to normal natural color as she had chosen not to bleach it again, he noticed how the bags were slowly vanishing from under her eyes and how they actually seemed to spark a bit with some type of energy that made him feel a bit of relief, "Yosh. You are okay." he knew he was possibly shocking the nurse at his less than explosive yells—he was not dumb, he knew how it would affect someone with a head injury! Glancing at Kyoko, he watched as his other sister clung to the now grimacing Saki and he gave a wry grin.

Yamamato felt so guilty from when he had struck that home run but to him it felt more like a foul. Why did the school not replace the windows yet (What he did not know was that they did replace it yet his hits were stronger than a bullet) and thus broke so easily causing poor Saki to get smacked in the head! Gazing at the girl who was being smothered by her siblings he spoke up, "I'm really sorry, Saki! Really!"

"It's fine Takeshi. It's fine." Saki simply waved it off as she ignored Kyoko's scandalized gaze and missed Ryohei's calculating one, "It happens. I mean...you forget who my best friend is." of course the lack of violent sounds and the warmth of the glove meant that Giotto was back and trying to soothe her while Hibari was who knows where, "Anyways you guys should go. The nurse is glaring." of course it was met with a shout from her brother who ran out, a look from Kyoko and a unreadable expression from Takeshi, "Takeshi?"

"Hah, hah it's nothing. I'll come by after!"

Saki watched as the boy went out before her eyes narrowed to slits, 'It seems I may have to do some more digging on Yamamoto Takeshi...that look, I can see why Hibari tends to try and fight him at times but otherwise dismisses it..." laying back down and gazing up at the ceiling she all but froze as the panel moved aside and Hibari was staring down at her, "What the...?" of course he dropped down and was staring down at her and slowly unsure what was going on she gave a sound of alarm as he laid right next to her, she went stiff as a board. She knew Kyoya hated any close contact so she could only wonder what the fuck was-

"Oh dear! Hibari-sama is sick!" the nurse (Who's name she really needed to know by now but did not bother to learn) exclaimed before darting out to call the hospital to make arrangements for the demonic (ikeman) prefect leaving poor Saki alone with the time bomb.

'I am going to die. Maybe I can learn to harden myself with my lightning soon?' was one of the thoughts that passed her mind as she stared at the slight flushed face of Hibari, she took in the delicate features and could not help but wonder if he would have been a Yamamato Nadeshiko if he was born a male, 'He has long lashes...' she could not help but analyze only to go into a form she would later reply that she felt her soul leave her due to the fact Hibari had thrown an arm over her and had his head buried into her hair. Oh god a sick Hibari was an out of character Hibari until he had his wits back. It was always the first and second day when the other was out of it when sick, 'Like how when I am on my monthly only the first and last day really hamper me...' maybe wishing her day was back to mediocre instead of interesting would have been a better thing for her to want and wish for. No matter how pretty Hibari was or how she could stare at him it was not worth the death that would later come, 'This ass. He will bonk Kyoko on the head but with me he will try and bash my head in...you are so lucky I love you, you ass.'

Giotto had made himself known in a matter of moments instantly separating the two only to pause as he watched Kyoya flop over and doze off before shooting a concerned look to Saki, "Is he alright? I knew he was a bit...sluggish this morning." shifting his burning gaze back to the deep slumbering skylark, Giotto deadpanned, "So let me guess...deep sleeper when sick but once better back to light?"

"Oh yeah. Kyoya is...very complex." Saki thought back to childhood before she made a face and leant against the Vongola Primo, she really should look into her family line sometime, then again aunt Misaki was off somewhere in a town called Karakura or something—wasn't her aunt on her dad's side a shrine maiden somewhere and married a guy named Asakura—wait a moment! A freaked out look was on her face and she slowly looked at Giotto, "Hey uh...does the name Shaman King mean anything to you?"

"Of course. Asari spoke of it them fondly and Seimi was—hm...? Saki?" Concern was wafting over Giotto as he watched his charge pale and as he lent closer he face faulted as he heard her mutter.

"I need to sit in a corner and contemplate this god damn universe."

A week later brought Saki to wonder what the hell she was seeing as well as learning after pouring over records which had her ready to yank her hair out, more so Hana was staring at her with a bit of concern as she began to give a slight hysteric laugh, "Ahahahahaha...EVERYTHING I KNEW IS A LIE!" with that Saki lost it and promptly flipped the table she was sitting at before standing and stalking out of her room, throwing arms up into the air, "FTW! FUCK THE WORLD! NOT FOR THE WIN! FUCK IT!"

Leaning back on her palms, Hana raised a finely shaped eye-brow after her best-friend (No matter what, Saki was her first friend and Kyoko second) before looking at the family records and doing a double take, "Wait what? Shaman King was based off the Adventure of some Clam clan that had Abe no Seimi join and quincy...?What the hell-..." slowly glancing after Saki, Hana had so many questions before shrugging off before glancing at the door to see Hibari-senpai, "Senpai."

Hibari simply raised an eye-brow at the younger teen in his frie—minions room. Minion. She was his minion. Eyes traveling around he spotted the youngest Sasagawa throwing switchblades with graceful ease at the wooden posts in the back before he shot a questioning (Or what could be considered one from him) at Kurokawa, "...Kurokawa."

"Yeah she read something weird and now I'm right up there with her. A lazy shrug was given as she tossed the book at Hibari before opening her magazine once more, "Take a look at that or something." with that she dismissed him.

Hibari twitched at being dismissed before glancing down at the scroll, scanning then staring for a few moments before going to find Giotto and demand answers.

"...Man I need less insane friends." Hana drawled out with a wry smile as she watched the elder teen leave before glancing out towards Saki and simply shaking her head as she watched the girl go into hysterics over the phone, "Hm? Ryota? Who?"

"Saki~! Guess who is here!"

Saki promptly felt a chill appear as she slowly turned to see none other than Orihara Izaya, her boss and cousin to her best-friend Hibari Kyoya. There. Laying on her futon. Her reaction? Wanting to just throw thunder or lightning at him but refrained, "Izaya...why—is that a baby?" she stared at the finely dressed toddler who was sitting on her kotatsu sipping some sort of coffee? Eyes wracking in the form she was letting her brain work overtime, 'Fedora, orange rim, chameleon on said hat, a nice custom made tuxedo, briefcase and a yellow...oh sweet lord.' eyes going a bit wide she felt her soul want to leave, "Is that the number one hit-man in the world Reborn?"

Reborn gazed at the young teen before him, his eyes taking a little spark before they shifted to Izaya, "Izaya. I want to rent her." he ignored the insult thrown at him as he gazed at the now narrowed gaze of one Orihara Izaya, "I'll make sure to pay you as well. But I want her for the family. She was one of the candidates."

"Oh? I see." Sitting up he moved to Saki and yanked her into his hold, resting his chin upon her head the twenty-four year old male gazed down at the being he knew could take him out and it just sent a chill of glee up and down his spine, "I'll think about it and make up a contract. But for now~ Saki~ Your mission is to do whatever Reborn wants right now. Take care." he then slipped off with a laugh.

"What the hell just happened?!" Saki stared at Reborn before it hit her, "...You aren't here just for my skills or whatever this guardian thing is...are you? You heard about Verde." she saw the flash in the eyes it was fast but she did and slowly she took out the glove and put it on, eyes half-lidded, "I'll show you what it can do."

Reborn watched as a swirl of sky flames of all things burst from the glove and the form of a man appeared, Reborn felt his insides twitch at the strong flame and even more at who had appeared. The Vongola Primo. The first. The founder. Giotto stood there before him almost solidified, "Ciaossu, Primo."

Giotto gazed at the little child before him as understanding dawned upon him, "I see. So the curse was evoked then." he could tell how the adult turned infant went stock still but only to his trained eyes as he glanced down at Saki who was gazing between them curious, "Do keep this a secret. I rather like being by Saki's side." his gaze softened and sparked with amusement as he saw the flush on the young teens face. Just like Seimi flushed. Shaking his head ever so slightly, his bright gaze drifted back to Reborn,"You have come for my heir correct? I'll be coming along." his tone was cheerful and he patted saki's head, "Get a move on, Saki!" with that he vanished.

"...Reborn-san...are you okay?"

"...Hm...let us go, Saki."

"I am so in hell." with that she was startled when Reborn jumped into her arms and gave her directions, after letting the staff know, Saki simply walked with the warmth of Reborn in her arms till she came upon a house and stared, "Sawada? Wait as in-...they did look similar." she froze as she saw Reborn was not in her arms and stared up at the open window blankly when crashing and a pained sound was heard, of course she climbed up the tree, then to roof, then in the window she blanched as Reborn put together a rifle.

"My real job is...to make you a mafia boss."

Saki watched as Tsuna shot up, pale as a ghost and simply decided to sit in the window until she was noticed or decided to speak up. She could tell this would be amusing.

"What!? A Mafia boss?" Tsuna had sat up after his brush with death via one really strong small tie, he was speechless as he gazed down at the baby (Who's head was way to huge for that body!) in disbelif. Mouth hanging opening.

"I was assigned by a certain man to train you to be an astounding mafia boss." Reborn spoke in a matter of fact tone as he held the large rifle with ease, making sure it was still pointed right at Tsuna. He knew what would happen next and could not wait for it.

"Hello? Is your head okay?" Tsuna pointed to his own head, pale as a ghost in disbelief as he gazed down at the baby.

"The method is left up to me." Reborn's eyes glinted as he raised the rifle to face Tsuna's face, "Should I shoot you once?"

"Wha?! HEY!"

Saki felt her flames spark up, anger flashing in her normally apathetic self, she did not even notice when Reborn's gaze snapped to her then only snapped out of it once she saw and heard what the baby did next.

"But not now."

"?!"

RUMBLE

With a rumbling Stomach Reborn turned right on his heel, "Later." and walked right out.

"HEY!"

"Just let him go, Tsuna."

Tsuna froze up before slowly turning and gazing at the girl in his window, his heart thumping as he could not explain what he saw but he was sure it was Sasagawa Saki—but what the hell was with the electricity sparking all over her?!

"I will never let him do anything that would kill you. I'd die before that."

Sawada Tsunayoshi felt his heart speed up and his breath catch in his throat, for to him right now Sasagawa Saki had sparked a feeling in him which never went away but now burst to the surface. He knew for sure now...his life was going to be full of heart pounding moments and even if it scared him, deep inside, so deep which he did not want to admit—he really could not wait.

!YURI'S CORNER!

So I was unsure really how to end it and might edit it eventually but I do like how it is in a sense. So if you have any questions feel free to shoot them out at me.

As a heads up I have also been debating on re-doing an old fic of mine the first KHR I did but then I'm like naw I will stick with this one. Sounds better in a sense. But whatever.

If anyone has like I said questions or stuff feel free to throw me a PM or throw it in a review. On a side note FF14:StormBlood is soon aaaaaah!
