A/N: Hello, all! This is going to be my first long fanfiction, and I'm writing it for KHR! I'm so excited! Basically this story is going start around some time before Tsuna first meets Dino. I know, that's quite early! But I hope people will like it.

Color of Your Soul

Chapter 1: Visitor from the Sky

"...We will be landing in Narita Airport in 10 minutes. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelt..."

"Excuse me, miss?"

The stewardess shook the young girl's shoulders lightly to wake her up. She had wondered how her parents could be not worried for such a young daughter to be flying internationally by herself. But the stewardess thought the young girl stranger than any customer she has come across. For the whole 11 hours of the flight from Sicily to Tokyo, the girl had not woken up. she had been sleeping since she sat down on her seat, and her seatbelt was still fastened the way it was in the beginning. The stewardess had passed her by several times during meal times, and yet the girl had barely shifted. And there was only once, that the girl seemed to have murmured a foreign name in her sleep.

"Sawa... Tsu... Yoshi..."

The stewardess frowned. The girl was in a deeper sleep than she'd imagined. So she shook a little harder.

"Miss, please wake up!"

And then, the girl stirred this time. Her eyes began to open, and she reached her hand up to her face, removing long strands of black hair from her face. She looked at the stewardess briefly and looked outside the window.

"Are we landing soon?" she asked; her voice hoarse from dehydration.

"Yes," the stewardess said quickly, and scurried toward her own seat to prepare for the landing. But just before she was out of hearing distance of the young girl, she caught the latter's very soft murmur. And for no particular reason, she looked back at the young girl just once more before leaving.

"The sky here... is golden..."

There was a strange light shining out from the girl's dull, black eyes. They were bleak, yet they had strong waves hidden behind the walls.

Tsuna woke up in the morning with severe pain everywhere on his body. Ever since the devilish home tutor with a deceiving baby's appearance, Reborn, appeared in his life, everyday he would encounter several outrageous events. Not to mention the increased family members he has to deal with at home now. Honestly, who gave those people permission to stay in his house, anyway? But since Mama seems to be happier with more people at home, he won't complain much about that. The most ridiculous thing is that no matter how many times he's refused to become the tenth leader of Vongola, Reborn would always ignore him and force him into situations that make him unable to object.

And to think that I've ran around Namimori with just boxers on so many times. Tsuna sighed at the thought as he walked toward Namimori Middle School.

"Juudaime! Good Morning!"

"Yo! Tsuna!"

Two familiar voices called out to Tsuna and the young mafioso looked up to see Yamamoto Takeshi and Gokudera Hayato. A smile crept up to his lips as he waved to his two new friends. It's times like this when he forgets about Reborn's arduous trainings. Tsuna was happy to have these friends, even though they may be quite dangerous sometimes. If it weren't for Reborn, he would probably still be alone on his walks to school, his lunch breaks, and his way back home. There's not a moment that Tsuna doesn't appreciate these friends who accept him for being "Dame-Tsuna."

Suddenly a strange sound interrupted the Tsuna's thought. He sensed something bad coming as the sound's origin increased in speed and came closer to them.

"That… that sound," Tsuna spoke his thoughts aloud, "sounds like… a horse…"

"Ju—Juudaime! Watch out!" Gokudera shouted as a horse charged toward them at full speed.

"Heeee! Why is there a horse on the street?" Tsuna stepped back against the wall.

"Hahaha! How exciting!" Yamamoto laughed as usual, completely unaware to the situation.

The three boys watched in silence as the horse galloped past them. For a few moments Tsuna felt weak in the knees, and so did Gokudera. Before Tsuna can figure out what happened, Reborn appeared behind them.

"Ciaossu!"

Tsuna jumped at Reborn's sudden appearance, "Reborn! Don't scare me like that!"

"Shut up, Dame-Tsuna!" Reborn kicked Tsuna in the back of the head, "You've got a visitor!"

"A visitor?" Tsuna followed Reborn's gaze upwards and so did the other two boys. Their jaws dropped as they see a teenage girl free-drop from the sky with her arms wide open. Before Tsuna could react, the girl collided with him, causing him to fall backwards and making a big crack in the ground.

"Juudaime!" Gokudera shouted worriedly, running to Tsuna for assistance, "Oi, woman! How dare you…"

Before Gokudera could finish his sentence, the girl stood up and approached Yamamoto. Yamamoto held an awkward smile, not knowing who the girl is.

"Vongola Juudaime," the girl spoke softly as she made what seemed like a bowing gesture.

"Ehh?" Yamamoto was taken by surprise.

"Stupid woman! You got the wrong person!" Gokudera shouted angrily.

The girl turned to stare at Gokudera for quite a while, then said, "…I know that. I was just testing you."

"Wha…what a lame excuse!" Tsuna exclaimed in his head, and Gokudera seemed to think the same thing.

The girl knelt down in front of Tsuna and said, "Hi, you must be the tenth Vongola leader, Sawada Tsunayoshi."

"I…I'm not a mafia leader!" Tsuna denied for the hundredth time.

"You're not?" the girl raised an eyebrow, "as I thought… why would the Vongola Juudaime be such a scrawny boy…"

"What did you say, woman?" Gokudera asked angrily, hearing his beloved Juudaime being insulted.

"Barbarian," the girl turned to face Gokudera, "you've been yapping nonstop ever since I came here, can't you be quiet?"

"Ba…barbarian?"

"Ciaossu." Reborn jumped in between the girl and Gokudera. There was realization in the girl's eyes.

"Reborn!"

"Ehh?" Tsuna exclaimed, "You know Reborn?"

"Of course! Reborn is very famous, you know?"

"Mikami," Reborn said, "this Dame-Tsuna here is really the tenth of Vongola."

"Really?" the girl said while turning toward Tsuna again, and smiled, "Sorry for the comment earlier, Juudaime, my name is Mikami Yotsuba. Pleasure to meet you!"

It was a very bight smile; so bright that it felt a bit superficial. The boys all fell silent for a minute. Something seems a bit strange about this girl. Although Tsuna knew how rude it is to judge someone that he'd barely met, he couldn't help but bash about her quick change of attitude. He didn't know whether she was acting or not.

"Um…" Tsuna was at loss with words, "You can just call me Tsuna…"

"Oh, thank you, Tsuna!" Yotsuba said sweetly, "You can call me Yotsuba too! Or Yocchan, or if you want to, Princess Yotsuba is fine too!"

Tsuna sweat-dropped, "O…Okay… Yotsuba-chan…"

"Are we all introducing ourselves?" Yamamoto joined in, "I'm Yamamoto Takeshi!"

Yotsuba smiled at Yamamoto, "Nice to meet you, Takeshi!"

"Eh?" Yamamoto looked surprised but laughed a second later, "Ahaha! No one other than my dad has ever called me that before!"

"Hmph!" Gokudera glared at Yotsuba, "why should I give you my name? We don't even know what you're here for! Falling from the sky like that… I say you're suspicious!"

"Ah, that's okay," Yotsuba said nonchalantly, "I'm only interested in meeting Tsuna-kun, anyway!"

"You…!" Gokudera fumed and Tsuna tried to stop Gokudera from lighting his bombs.

"Yotsuba is a very skilled spy in the Vongola family," Reborn said as he jumped onto Yamamoto's shoulder, "She is of great importance to Vongola!"

"What? She is?" both Gokudera and Tsuna were shocked. They turned their attention to the sleepy-eyed girl, who didn't look very strong at all.

"Yotsuba," Reborn addressed her, "all of these guys here are Tsuna's family!"

"Really?" Yotsuba gasped and turned to look at Gokudera, "what did you say your name was again, barbarian?"

"I NEVER TOLD YOU MY NAME, YOU IDIOT!"

"Maa, don't get so worked-up, Gokudera!" Yamamoto laughed.

"Yeah, Gokudera, why are you so worked-up?" Yotsuba scooted to Yamamoto's side.

"…"

Was that an illusion, or did I just see two baseball idiots?

"Don't judge Yotsuba by your first impression. There's hardly anyone that can replace her in spying missions," Reborn said as he jumped down in front of Yotsuba, "Saa, Yotsuba, tell us what you're here for!"

"Oh, that's right," Yotsuba said as she looked at Tsuna, "But it's a long story, so, by all means, let's all talk about it in Tsuna's house!"

"DON'T INVITE YOURSELF INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S HOME!" both Tsuna and Gokudera exclaimed.

"Hahaha, are we talking about the mafia game again?"

"Being in the mafia sure is fun, ne?"

"…"

There it is again… two baseball idiots…

Suddenly a bell rang in the distance, capturing all of their attention. Tsuna panicked.

"AHHHH! WE'RE LATE!"

The three boys ran at full speed toward Namimori Middle School. Yotsuba stood in place next to Reborn.

"Where are they off to?"

"School," Reborn said, "one of Tsuna's potential Family member is the chairman of the Disciplinary Committee at Namimori Middle School. He has a hobby of biting people to death when they break school rules-such as being tardy."

"Eh?" Yotsuba tried to picture the thought, "that's kind of weird… Maybe I'll go check it out."

Reborn smirked, "you still like to act dumb, Yotsuba!"

"I learned it all from you, Reborn," Yotsuba returned the smirk, and stared at Tsuna's slim back as the boy ran into the distance. "So that's the boy whom Ninth favors... he doesn't look like much, but... he has good eyes..."

Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto were relieved as they reached their classroom. It seems like Hibari wasn't waiting at the gate today. Though the teacher scolded them, it was a lot better than getting beaten up by Hibari's tonfa. The teacher cleared his throat, but before he could start teaching, the classroom's door was slid open. Tsuna gaped as he saw Mikami Yotsuba wobble in with dragging feet.

"Who are you?" the teacher asked.

"I am the transfer student!" Yotsuba replied simply.

"Transfer student?" the teacher repeated, "I was never informed about this."

"Of course not," Yotsuba said in her sleepy voice, "I just bought myself into this school a couple of minutes ago!"

Everyone in the classroom except Yamamoto and Kyoko seemed to slump in their chairs and wore sweat drops on their heads.

Ignoring the teacher's disbelieving gaze, Yotsuba turned around to face the classroom, "Hello, everyone! My name is Mikami Yotsuba. Please just call me Yotsuba, Yocchan, or Princess Yotsuba!"

What is she doing here? Tsuna exclaimed in his head. He felt it very strongly in his heart, that his life was about to get a lot worse with this girl's presence.

The teacher seemed to regain his composure after a while, "Well then, Mikami-kun, will you go sit…"

Yotsuba ignored the teacher again and walked elegantly to the seat next to Tsuna. Yotsuba smiled sweetly at the boy sitting in that seat, "would you mind giving this seat to me?"

"But… I…" the boy looked uneasy.

"Listen," Yotsuba bent down to whisper in the boy's ear, "see that girl sitting by herself in the back there? Don't you think she's cute?"

"Um… I guess so?"

"Well," Yotsuba smiled, "I'm sure you'd rather sit next to that cute girl instead of being surrounded by Tsuna-kun, Takeshi-kun, and barbarian-kun here!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING BARBARIAN?" Gokudera stood up and kicked down his chair in rage. The boy was startled and grabbed his stuff and quickly left the danger zone to the empty seat in the back. Yotsuba smiled satisfyingly.

"Well, this is going to be fun, ne! Tsuna-kun!" Yotsuba said as she sat down in the seat.

"Ahaha… yeah…" Tsuna laughed dryly, "by the way, Yotsuba-chan… what was that horse about today?"

"Horse?" Yotsuba said, "Oh, that! I was just trying to make a big entrance, so I let that horse run across the street to divert your attention. Then I jumped from a helicopter, but it seems like I forgot the parachute!"

"Ah… is that... so…" Tsuna said weakly. Great. One more abnormal character added to his life.

TBC.
