~~ Time skip ~~

It has been a year since she started working at the nursery and thank god, she did because as the boys grow older they needed more money that she wouldn't have had if she were working only one job. Even though she doesn't have to pay the bills for the house as it appears that someone pays them automatically but she still has to pay for their everyday needs and that costs a lot. She had tried to find how her supposed father sent her mother money to help but she couldn't. 'No matter, I don't need them I can take care of my brothers alone.' Looking at the time 'oh no am gonna be late and Hibari-san is going to kill me'. Thinking of Hibari-san made her think back to how this all started.

~~ Flashback ~~

Today was her free day, she had taken a vacation from work, both of them, because what happened yesterday with the bullies attacking Ieyasu. It was weekend and they were all free so, she decided to spend the day with her brothers playing with them because she has been busy since their mom left.. 'I really don't know what to do, I want to find a way to learn how to fight so I can protect my brothers. After what happened yesterday I realized that I'm the only one they have right now and that they depend on me now. I don't know what I am supposed to do yet but the first thing I need to do now is to learn how to fight. At the moment I'm good with money, having two jobs helps with saving money but my problem is I'm physically weak, I'm already taking the courses online and I'm following the school year so academically I'm fine. hmm, who can I ask about my physical weakness? I really can't think of anyone….. well I can think of someone that can help but….. no no no no I really shouldn't…. but he's the only one that's available.' She slapped her cheeks hard. 'Okay tsuna you have to go to him, it's for your brothers. You can do it even if the chance is that you will be bitten to death.'

Making up her mind she started making her way to the school with her brothers as she couldn't leave them alone. Upon reaching there, she started to search for Hibari-san knowing that he will be at school even if it's not a school day. She went straight to the disciplinary office and knocked at the door.

"Hn"

opening the door, she entered slowly.

" Konichiwa Hibari-san, I-I wanted to ask you something.. umm I'm sure you're quite busy but can I take a second of your time please," she said very fast getting very nervous.

"Hn what"

" yesterday I faced a bit of a problem with bullies that had beaten up my little brother and I found out that I'm not that good at fighting and I really need to know because I have to protect my brothers. so I wanted to learn how to fight but I couldn't really think of anyone else. so...I wanted to ask if you can help me with that?" she asked as fast as she could.

"Hn why?"

"Umm... I will fight you when I get better a-and I know that you usually don't hit girls so if you teach me then I can be the one to fight them" she bargained.

"Hn" he replied, smirking.

"is that a yes hn or no hn," she asked not really understanding.

" Fine but if you don't get strong, I will bite you to death"

" Thank you thank you thank you I really am grateful Hibari-san I will try my best, so when can we start?" she asked

" come to school at 6 a.m. on the roof if you're late I'll bite you to death"

" I know it's a lot to ask but…. is there any way that you can come to our house" she whispered

" I don't crowd"

" There will be no crowd, it's only me and my little brothers and they will be sleeping so it's only me, we can fight in the backyard," she said.

There was a bit of silence afterwards then he said "hn fine"

" thank you so much Hibari-san I will really do my best"

Saying that she turned and left the office. and went searching for her brothers who she left in her classroom or more precisely at her old classroom. After getting them she went back home as fast as she could before she regretted whatever she said even though it was true, she knew that she will regret it the next day.

~~ End of flashback ~~

Since that day she has been learning how to fight. She now knows that he's not the cold guy that she thought he was before getting to know him. He was just a bit strict when it comes to rules and Order. She likes to think that they had become great friends right now, even though he doesn't talk much, he still takes care of her when she needs help in his own way. Thinking back on what happened that day, she can't remember exactly where she got that courage from but she is really thankful for it because if she didn't get the courage she doesn't know where she would be at the moment. The funny thing is that both her brothers and Hibari-san got along very well since her brothers didn't have loud personalities, they didn't really bother him when they were in the same room.

It's been a year and she still hasn't seen her mother again since she left the house. She doesn't really know what had happened to her or where she is right now. Not that she cares about what happened to that women because no matter what their mother had left them to die. Really! if tsuna hadn't started working or learning how to fight or quitting school and started taking online courses then they may as well be dead. Both her brothers are really young and they need someone to take care of them. She is the oldest, and the lives of her brothers were in her hand, no matter how big that responsibility. Even though she'll still a 13-year-old girl, she has the responsibility of an adult who is already married and has two children.

'I think that if it wasn't for Yamamoto-san and Hibari-san as well as Yamamoto-kun, he sometimes helps me when I need help either at work or by taking care of my brothers when I am busy, I would have failed and they would have died. I'm still not sure why she left like, maybe she really hated us that much to not care if we were alive or not. And of course, the less I say about the man we were supposed to think of as a father the better. İ am starting to forget how he looks like.' She shook off her head. 'Whatever I just need to concentrate on my brothers.'

She reached the school on time. Hibari-san told her to come and since its Saturday there are no students around. 'I wonder what Hibari-san want. Please let kusakabe be there I can't meet with Hibari-san alone not without blurting out my feeling' she sighed to a deep breath and entered the school.

"Hey Hibari-san you wanted to see me?" she said after entering the office.

"Hn baby carnivore, from today on you're my girlfriend," he said not looking up from his paperwork, smirking.

"HUH?".
