"What do you think?" a soft feminine voice said, with interested from a beautiful woman who has long dark hair that grown to her waist tied in a loose ponytail, gentle light eyes, an orange flower mark on her cheek, and she wears a white dress with a dull orange cardigan, and white flats. She leaned forward with sparks in her eyes. "Does she remind you of something?" she asked, smiling knowingly.

The CEO glanced at the woman, then shifted back to the screen with another carefully examined. "She… reminds me of a sky."

"Her name is Sora." The woman smiles widely as she provided a piece of information.

The Boss of Vongola tilted his head with thoughtful eyes. "Doesn't that mean sky in Japanese?" the woman nodded her head. The CEO chuckled. "A very fitting name for a special person like her." The woman agreed with the CEO.

"Meet Rookie Model, Sora"

Location: Namimori, Japan

Namimori Middle School

Class 2-B

"She's so pretty!"

"I heard that she's a new freelance model."

"So young… she's our age, right? Fourteen?"

"Look at her cute eyes! Don't her eyes remind of a doe?"

"That's an adorable outfit!"

"I can't believe that she is this popular, this magazine just came out like a, a week ago!"

The chattered easily heard throughout in the classroom during the lunch break. A group of girls gathered around a desk with a girl who is holding a beauty product magazine. They've been gossiping over the new model that just recently came out a week ago in Japan.

One of the female students glanced up at her friends from the magazine. "I heard a rumor that a Vongola Entertainment wants to recruit her, but the Arcobaleno Corporation also wants her."

"Wow…" another female student gasped with amazed. "I don't blame them, though… she is really pretty." Other girls agreed and they continue gossiping.

During that time, back in the classroom, there's a fourteen years old boy who has defying gravity brown hair with nose-length bangs, doe-like honey-brown eyes, fair skin, and wears Namimori male uniform. His honey-brown eyes shifted over at his classmates with curiosity and interest. 'Vongola and Arcobaleno? Aren't they well-known famous and wealthy companies in Italy?' he mused, attempted to recall the information.

"Oi, Dame-Tsuna." Tsuna flinched in surprise as he snapped out of it. His honey-brown eyes glanced up nervously at a small group of boys who walked toward them with a sneer and mockingly smirks on their faces. "We're hungry and we need money."

The petite brunette gulped. "A-ah…" he stuttered timidly as he knew this is his daily routine. He just nodded his head when he noticed the irked glared from one of his bullies, stood up and stumbled out of the classroom.

This is another typical day for Sawada, Tsunayoshi aka Dame-Tsuna.

However, he has a secret that no one knows about, a secret that only he can use to escape from his life.

Sawada Residence

Later…

"I'm home." A brunette called out as he walked inside his home. He slipped his shoes off, picked them up and set it on the shoes-rack. Tsuna walked down the hallway to the kitchen area, he continued walked further into the living room and saw his mother.

His mother has light brown hair that reached her shoulders with bangs covered her forehead, honey-brown eyes, fair skin, and wears a simple pink shirt, dark blue knee-length skirt, and white apron. Her name is Sawada, Nana who is focused on her laptop.

Nana halted when she noticed her son and beamed at him. "Tsu-kun! You won't believe what we got!" she squealed excitedly as she pats the empty spot next to her.

Tsuna obeyed, sat down next to his mother with curiosity. "What is it, mama?"

The mother placed her laptop onto her son's laps and pointed at the screen. "This is the e-mail from Luce-san, she mailed this morning and asked for Sora in the hope to work with a project with her models." She explained happily.

The brunette read the e-mail quietly.

Manager-san,

I hope I'm not intruding on your business schedule. It has come to my attention when I saw a new model, Sora. I'm interested to have her work with my models for the project. My photographer has been looking for a fresh face for a while, and so far, none of the models met his expectations except Sora. When he saw her, he declared that he must have her part of the project as she is exactly what he needs. And I admitted, I'm interested to see Sora modeling with my models. I'm aware that Sora is a rookie model, however, I have a feeling that she'll fit in just right and she has potential talent from the magazine I've seen. If you are interested in this project, please call or mail me for further information.

Thank you for your time.

Arcobaleno Corporation

CEO: Luce

"She's interested in Sora?" Tsuna whispered with surprise after he finished read the e-mail. His mother bobbled her head cheerfully with a hummed.

The secret that Tsuna use to escape from his life was that he, himself was actually "Sora" the freelance rookie model. He pretends to be a female because it was his way to escape from reality.

Nana clapped her hands. "Hai! I've already called her a while ago. The project sounds very fun! She explained that this project is called, Elementi. It means elements in Italian. This project is based on one each element with a story. I don't know the stories yet, but Luca-san will explain further if you agree to be part of Elementi project." She explained.

Tsuna leaned back against the couch as his honey-brown eyes glanced at his mother from the laptop screen. "….should I accept it?" he asked his mother with unsure.

"It's your choice, Tsu-kun." Nana smiles gently as her eyes soften. "If you accept it, it's only a month worth of project and you'll have to be in Italy, though." She added the last part.

The brunette frowned as his eyebrows furrowed. "B-but, what about school?"

Nana hummed. "I can contact the school and inform them that we have a family emergency." She chirped.

"Mama… how is this a family emergency?" the petite boy sweatdropped and his mother just giggled. Tsuna sighed softly as his shoulders slumped with contemplative. It would be nice for him to take a break from school and away from being as Dame-Tsuna. When he became, 'Sora' for a while, it was content for him to be away from harsh reality. When 'Sora' was approached by a desperate photographer who needed a model for his product photoshoot. Tsuna accepted to help since he has soft-hearted. It was awkward and embarrassing at first, but when he poses front of the camera, he was different and truly became someone else. It was a good feeling and he enjoyed it.

This project lasts a month in Italy which means away from Namimori and to be honest, he likes the idea to leave the reality for a while. Especially his mother needs it too, since she, too has been judgmental and bullies from others ever since she changed relationship status. Tsuna glanced at his mother who mumbling to herself as her honey-brown eyes lighten up with excitement. Ever since his mother was divorced the last year, she had been depressed and lonely. She cried every night along in her room, hardly taken care of her health, and barely function her life day by day. Until Tsuna talked to her with an idea that they both could be away for a while, be someone different, living in an illusion.

So, he dressed up as a female while his mother dressed up as a male. It was their thing, their moment to live in a safe illusion and it was the best decision they've made. It even made their bond between mother and son stronger and closer. His mother is very happy and so, they made it into a habit to do it once a week for nearly three months until a week ago, a photographer saw 'Sora'.

Tsuna believed that he made the best decision because not only he enjoyed doing modeling, it made his mother very happy since she had dreamt of having a daughter to be a model. It was supposed to be a one-time thing, however, they both didn't expect that 'Sora' became popular and recognized throughout Japan. One photo of Sora and now, she is one of the Top Ten Cutest Models in Japan. So, Nana decided to become Sora's 'manager'.

'It would be good to be away again…' Tsuna decided and smile at his mother who has hope in her eyes. "Let's go to Italy."

Nana squealed excitedly, she grabbed her laptop and pecked her son's forehead. Tsuna chuckled softly as he listens to his childish mother's babbled on about packing their things and have exciting short 'vacation' with a joyful smile.

It was worth it. To see his mother's lively smile.

And he doesn't care that she has to dress up as a girl for an entire month. Tsuna already accepted a long time ago that being a male or female doesn't matter to him. Gender is gender in is opinion. Plus, he did enjoy being a girl since it was interesting to experience. And it doesn't change who he is. Tsuna is Tsuna. Tsuna is Sora. Sora is Tsuna. Slowly, an excited smile appeared on his face, he can't wait to do this fun project.

And maybe, just maybe, he'll have new friends?

Arcobaleno's Penthouse

A Week Later…

There are seven attractive young men in their early-to-mid-twenties. One of the men has black spiky hair covered with a black fedora with an orange brand, onyx eyes, fair skin, and he wears an all-black suit with a white long-sleeved shirt, black necktie, and black dress shoes. His name is Reborn. Next, is a man who has black long hair that grown to his waist as it was in a braid, stormy-grey eyes, soft-looking fair skin, and he wears a red silk Chinese shirt, black jeans, and black boots. His name is Fon. Next, has a purple hair that frown to his collarbones, milky-white skin, two violet-purple triangular markings on his cheeks that extend to his jawline, and he wears a black hoodie that covered his eyes (very few has seen his eyes and live their life with their mouth shut), dark jeans, and black converse shoes. He is known as Viper.

The next one has dark violet messy hair, dark-brown eyes, fair skin, wears black eyeliner, dark violet tear-drop tattoo under his left eye, two white adhesive bandages on his cheeks, lip ring pierced, and few multiples pierces on his ears. He wears a black tightly short-sleeve shirt with a purple skull design, black leather pants tucked into black combat boots. He is known as Skull de Mort. Next, has blonde spiky hair, sky-blue eyes, fair skin, and he wears a dark camouflage tight shirt, black jeans, and black army boots, he also has a camouflage bandana wrapped around his left wrist. His name is Colonnello.

Another has green spiky wild hair, forest-green eyes with black glasses, pale skin (due to the lack of sun), and he wears dark green long-sleeves shirt, dark blue jeans, dark brown leather shoes. His name is Verde. And lastly, he has black ruffled hair, oval-shaped onyx eyes, pale skin, and he wears black turtleneck long-sleeves shirt, black slacks, white gloves, and black dress shoes. His name is Bermuda.

These seven young gentlemen are well-known famous actors/models throughout the stardom world. Right now, they have gathered around in the living room, sitting on the L-shape white leather couch. Their manager/bodyguard is standing in the middle of the room, with her hands on her hips with a stern face. She has navy-blue shoulder-length hair, red-brown eyes, sun-kissed tan, a flame tattoo on her right cheek, and she wears a brown tank top, blue shorts, and black combat boots. She is a former soldier and now proud as a manager/bodyguard for Arcobaleno Corporation. Her name is Lal Mirch.

Lal narrowed her eyes at her clients. "Listen up! You better be on your best behavior when a new model arrives with her manager. I don't want any trouble." She glared directly at Colonnello and Reborn. "Do I make myself clear." She dared them to go against her, luckily, they knew her as they silently understood her warning.

The navy-blue haired nodded her head with satisfaction.

Skull leaned forward with curiosity and interest. "So, who's a new model?" he asked. Their manager bend down grabbed a magazine from the bag that she dropped earlier, stood up as she turned a few pages then handed it to the punk model. "The new model is from Japan. I doubt she knows Italian, so we will speak her native language to make her feel comfortable." She explained, calmly.

"She's adorable." Skull commented with a smile on his face while he observed the model. Then he handed the magazine to Fon who sat next to him. Fon tilted his head and agreed with his friend. "What's her name?" the punk model asked with curious.

Lal watched Fon grabbed the magazine not unkindly. "Sora. From what Luce informed me, Sora is a rookie model and that was her first photoshoot, two weeks ago."

Fon raised his eyebrow. "Is that so? It looked like she has experienced being modeling for a while…" he handed it to Viper who took it and examined it quietly then passed it to Verde. "…I can see that she has potential." Fon added, with thoughtful face.

"She looks very young." Verde pointed it out as he handed it to Colonnello who half-grinned at the picture with curious interest.

The manager frowned. "Well, Luce told me that Sora is either fourteen or fifteen years old." She answered with slight hesitant. Lal kind of feel bad for the rookie model because Sora will be modeling with mostly twenty-to-twenty-four years old males. However, a job is a job.

"She is very cute, kora." Colonnello passed the magazine to Bermuda nearby who gave a quick look over and politely handed to Reborn.

Reborn carefully examined with slight interest. "Rookie, you say?" he whispered with a smirk. It seems he gets to play with a new little bunny.

The navy-blue haired manager glared at Reborn with cautiously. "Remember, she is new to this whole model job. She will be modeling with each of you for Elementi project."

"Whoa, wait…" Colonnello sat up with surprise. "That project is a quite big deal for Arcobaleno. Is it a good idea to have a rookie model part of this, kora?" he frowned, he understood that Sora is a very cute little model, but the project is very important for the corporation's ratings and economy. It required high-ranking professional models.

Lal sighed deeply with understanding. "That's what I said to Luce, but she was determined that only Sora is the one who can be this Cielo model for the Elementi project."

Skull smiles widely. "I think this will be fun!"

"I agreed." Fon nods his head. "It will be an interesting experience."

"Mou, it better be worth it to earn more money."

"Heh, whatever. Bring it on, kora."

Verde and Bermuda just shrugged their shoulders without caring. And Reborn has been observed quietly at the model from the magazine with small smirks. 'This will be very entertaining.' A glint of a predator in his onyx eyes.

Meanwhile…

"Are you ready, Sora-chan?" Nana asked her son with a gentle smile. She has changed her appearance as a male, her brown shoulder-length hair is now tied up short ponytail with bangs fall in her face to cover her doe-like eyes with blue contacts, wears a bulky grey sweater, dark blue jeans, and white sneakers. She also added a dark blue scarf around her neck, black sunglasses on top of her head, and her alias is Shichi.

Tsuna tugged his shirt. "Hai, mama." He whispered softly to his mother. He is wearing a caramel-brown waist-length hair with a sky-blue baseball hat, a blue knee-length sundress with a white scarf covered half of his lower face, white flats, and white cuff bracelet wrapped around his right wrist. He and his mother pulled their luggage to the front desk with their passports and tickets. Good thing that Luce generously paid their travel expenses.

They couldn't wait for their first time out of the country together. Nana is excited to explore Italy while Tsuna is nervous but eagerly with the thought of possibly having new friends. However, Tsuna didn't expect that his modeling career in Italy would change his whole world upside down.
