Dom: And I'm back people hahahaha XD So, I got my first critique or flame or whatever (Honey, if you ever see this, I'm going to apologize beforehand. I'm not called a 'bitch' by my own mother and my best friend for nothing.) And I deleted your review bc tbh, yes, I got pissed. Look, I appreciate it, I do. But what you suggested is over the top. You want me to change every bit of my story here. No matter how much I hate it, I had to kill Kagome's family. For the sake of plot. And I'm not pairing her up with Inuyasha even if it is cannon. This is fanfiction, sweetheart, and my story. Then you started commenting about how disgusting boy couples are. Love, I've put out warnings prior to the chaps. It's even written down here the pairings for each chapter. Don't like, don't read. I respect your thoughts about homosexuality, but please respect mine. Then you want me to write it all the way from the beginning? I've planned this to be a short story. I do not intend it to be a big project bc hello, I have other stories, which I do, guilty as charged, not update them often (sorry my loves). Then you ask me to contact you when I decide to rewrite it? How the fuck am I going to contact you if you were an anonymous reviewer? Common sense please *unamused face*

I don't know if you're a troll or what, but I really have a short tolerance to bullsht. I know, you guys will say that I should handle it better, but the way they wrote their review grated on my nerves. If you don't like my story, please don't read then. Make your own. I am encouraging you to write your own story, okay? Good.

Anyhoo, I'm going to be editing this whole story and fixing mistakes bc cringing hahahaha XD I edited some dialogues because I thought that some were awkward and some were wrong and some just don't make any sense. What was I thinking 6 years ago?

I also added some new tidbits like in the Christmas Omake particularly in Alaude/Kaname scene where the two were talking about their younger years; Of course, if you read this before, you guys know those two has/had a relationship, but since I've been adding more information, well, you guys can just read it that part since it's just a small change, if you're interested XD

~O*~O*~O*~O*

With his hands shoved inside his pockets, a figure is seen casually walking down the street as he took in the scenery around him. The figure had semi-short black hair that goes past his ears* with natural blue highlights. His hair is layered with his bangs messily, but attractively covers his left eye. His vibrant blue eyes shine with happiness and content. Though looking closer, there's a cold and calculating look in his eyes.

His body is athletically built. His muscles weren't bulging, but more of a lean and toned one. He has a lithe form like a swimmer's body. He stands at least 5'6 in height and his face has a bit of feminine shape, but it suits him.

He adorns the Namimori Middle School uniform: black slacks with his blue vest tucked in properly, showing his white dress shirt's sleeves he's wearing underneath. His collar was unbuttoned and his tie was done nice and neat and to complete the uniform, black school shoes are worn. His messenger bag was slung on his shoulder.

This young man is Higurashi Kagome. He would've looked like a normal teenager on his way to school if it wasn't for the sword strapped to his back.

The sheath was dark purple with sakura petals around it and the hilt is blood red.

Long story short, he's part of the mafia. That's why he has a sword with him.

Being born into a family full of elite assassins, he's been part of the mafia since birth. He was trained to kill at a young age, but he never got his first kill till he was 12 years old. He was different though. He doesn't want to kill nor will he ever do, but fate forced his hands three years ago.

Some ignorant fools wanted them to part of their Famiglia, but since their loyalty lies with the Vongola all the way back from the 1st generation, they refused. The aforementioned fools did not take it well.

That was the first time his hands were smeared in that brilliant shade of red. But it wouldn't be the last time his hands would be soaked in red.

He killed for his Family's name. He killed because his loved ones are in danger and he killed because the situation calls for it. In other words, kill or be killed.

The Vongola caught wind of the massacre and they look for any survivors. He was found and was informed that he was the only survivor. He was then sent to live in the Vongola Mansion and they took care of him and trained him for three years until Nono sent him to train his heir and his Guardians.

And that's how he ended up walking to Tsuna's house everyday for school and basically hangs out with him and the others.

It still puzzles him how he became a trusted friend for the Guardians and Decimo, a protector for Nana-san, the kids, and the girls, and became part of Tsuna's close-knit family.

He finally reached the Sawada Residence. He opened the gate and knocked politely on the front door.

Did he forget to mention that he always goes to the Sawadas every school day to eat breakfast with Tsuna and his family? Well, he is...well, technically he was threatened by the Head CEDEF to protect his family in his place. So everyday he walks Tsuna and Hime to school and go home with them and Nana always drag him for breakfast and sometimes dinner.

He refused for the first several times, but in the end Nana always wins so it simply became a routine. Besides he was too tired to argue with Nana; it also didn't help if you have four kids staring at you with puppy dog eyes, one Poison Scorpion holding her poison cooking, one boss looking at you with pleading gazes and finally, one Sun Arcobaleno who is the "Greatest Hitman in the World" holding him at gunpoint. All of these were done while Nana's back is turned. So how could he possibly say no to that?

There was some rustling beyond the closed door until it was opened by Nana-san.

"Oh, good morning Kagome-kun! You're early as usual. Tsu-kun's still sleeping and Hime-chan is in the shower. The others are waking up right now."

Kagome nodded, "Do you need any help preparing breakfast, Nana-san?"

"No, but if you don't mind, can you set up the tables for me?" Nana asked while welcoming the boy inside their domain.

"I don't mind," Kagome murmured while slipping his shoes off and putting his bag in the living room, but kept his sword with him. He never knows when he's gonna need it.

Just…right…about…NOW!

Bullets whistled through the air intent on hitting the target which is unfortunately him.

He unsheathed his sword quickly and sliced through the bullets that are aiming for him. He missed one and it grazed his right cheek. The bullet went passed and hit the vase that is conveniently behind him.

CRASH

"Kagome-kun, what was that?" Nana asked from the kitchen.

"U-uh, R-Reborn caught me off guard and I hit the vase. U-um, I'm sorry about that! I'll pay it back I promise!" Kagome replied back.

"You don't need to! Just be careful playing with Reborn-chan, alright?"

"H-hai!"

Kagome turned his attention to the baby who was wearing a black suit and a fedora with a green chameleon on his shoulder, "Good morning to you too, Reborn. I didn't know that's how you greet people nowadays," he asked sarcastically.

"Well, I need to make sure that your guard was up. You never know when people from rival families will try to kill you," Reborn said cutely.

"Oh please with you around here, I don't think they will need to kill me since one of these days you will be the death of me," Kagome snorted.

Another round of bullets was fired. This time Kagome managed to cut through all bullets.

"O-oi! Stop doing that!"

"You need to treat your scratch on your cheek, Kagome, before it gets infected," Reborn walked towards the kitchen with a satisfied smirk on his cute, chubby face.

"Damn sadistic, Spartan, baby tutor," Kagome cursed under his breath.

A bullet whizzed past his hair.

"I heard that. Keep that up and you'll be joining Dame-Tsuna in his lessons with me," Reborn threatened.

Kagome shut his mouth and choosing to glare at the Sun Arcobaleno. He touched his cheek where his scratch lay upon. He winced in pain when he barely touched the wound.

'Damn Reborn with his sun flames and bullets!' Kagome cursed in his head. He decided to leave his sword in the living room seeing that Reborn already shoot him thrice this morning. He then exited the room and entered the kitchen.

He set the table just how he was told and waited for breakfast to finish. I-pin, Lambo, Fuuta, and Bianchi joined them afterwards.

"Eh, Kagome-nii, what happen to your cheek?" Fuuta asked.

"Reborn."

One simple word answered his question and they all turned to look at the said baby.

The baby merely looked up from his coffee and smiled an angelic smile, "What?"

Others could have been fooled by the smile, but not them. They knew what was underneath that smile. A Spartan tutor, not to mention sadistic, who loves to torture people namely Dame-Tsuna or in other words he's the reincarnation of the devil himself… actually that's an insult to the devil since this man could make the devil run for his money.

"C'mon, let's treat your cheek," Fuuta got out the first aid kit. He started cleaning the wound which is a hard task if your patient kept wincing and pulling away.

"Itai! That hurts Fuuta-kun!" Kagome winced.

"You've been stabbed, shot, sliced, and had your deeper wounds sewn up multiple times and yet you can't stand a little pain from a disinfectant spray and alcohol," Fuuta stated with a deadpanned expression painted on his face.

Kagome clammed up. He's right after all.

Finally, Fuuta was done and was just putting the bandage over the wound with tender and gentle handling when another person joined them.

It was a pretty brunette girl at the age of 10 years old. She has big brown eyes, pert nose, and small mouth. Her hair reached her mid-back and tumbled down in waves with bangs framing her face. She's quite short having 4'4 in height. She's wearing Namimori's Elementary School uniform**. She's Sawada Tsunahime, younger sister of Sawada Tsunayoshi, the next Vongola Boss.

"Ohayou, Hime," Kagome greeted.

"Ohayou, Kagome-nii. Ohayou, minna-san," Hime replied and greeted.

Various of 'ohayous' went around.

"Hime-chan, is your brother still sleeping?" Nana asked while setting down the food.

"I think so," Hime mumbled thoughtfully while pulling up the chair next to Kagome and Fuuta who was chowing down their food already.

Nana sighed, "Ne, Reborn-chan can you wake Tsu-kun up," Nana asked.

"I'll be happy to do it, Maman," Reborn hopped off his seat and Leon changed into a gun. He went up the stairs and entered Tsuna's room.

The people downstairs heard gunshots and Tsuna's 'Hiieee'.

Fuuta, Kagome, and Hime felt their sweat trickle down their temple while the others ignored it; Tsuna came stumbling down already in his uniform with Reborn following after him.

"Tsuna, c'mon we're gonna be late. I bet Gokudera and Takeshi are waiting outside for us." Kagome stood up and took his plate in the dishes and nodded a thank you for Nana, "Thank you for the breakfast, Nana-san."

"What? But I haven't eaten yet," Tsuna complained.

Kagome pulled Tsuna's hand to the front door and gestured him to put on his shoes before getting his sword and bag from the living room. When he came out he saw Tsuna tying his shoelaces.

"We'll just get something on the way or during break. My treat. C'mon, before we are 'bitten to death' by Kyoya," Kagome said. "Hime, we're going! We're not going to be able to drop you off today, but we will pick you up later!" he hollered.

"That's okay!" Hime replied.

"I still don't get how you managed to call Hibari-san with his first name without getting bitten to death," Tsuna grumbled.

Kagome smirked at the young boss and ruffled the younger boy's fluffy, spiky brown hair, "It's because I'm an omnivore not a herbivore apparently."

Both teens walked and exited the Sawada residence when they saw a silver-haired teenager with emerald eyes and an irritated scowl plastered on his face.

Next to him was a tall teen with black spiky hair and golden brown eyes. Unlike his companion he's wearing a grin instead.

Both are wearing the Namimori Middle School uniform and walking in their direction.

"Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto, we have to run or we'll be late!" Tsuna shouted.

"As you wish, Juudaime!"

"Haha, okay Tsuna!"

Before the four can run off, Reborn stopped them.

"Matte," Reborn called.

"What is it Reborn?" Tsuna asked.

"After school, gather your Guardians and make them come to the house. Also, you need to call Kyoko and Haru too."

"Reborn, I can't involve Haru and Kyoko in fights, you know that!" Tsuna shouted.

Reborn kicked his student on the head, "I'm not telling you to gather your Guardians for a fight. I am holding a meeting involving the events that would happen in the Vongola soon."

"And that would be?" Gokudera urged on.

"I'll tell you all later. And yes, Kagome you are required to be there too. Now, go before all of you are late," With that said Reborn disappeared before their very eyes.

"Why do you need to go?" Gokudera rounded on the assassin.

Kagome bonked Gokudera on the head with the hilt of his sword, "Like you, I have no idea why am I needed. But even if I'm not required to attend I'll be there because I'm kinda the Sawadas' bodyguard, baka."

"You're trying to be the Juudaime's right-hand man, aren't you?! I won't let anyone with the likes of you to steal it!" Gokudera accused.

Kagome whack Gokudera's head once again, "I'm not a Guardian, stupid, so obviously I'm not gonna be the right-hand man. Just because I beat you in a fight countless of times doesn't mean I'm after it, Tako-head."

After that statement, both Storm-class Flame users got into a heated argument and before any weapons are drawn out the Rain Guardian tried to placate the dark-haired Storm while Tsuna calms his Storm guardian.

"Ma, ma~ let's calm down. We should hurry before Hibari-sempai bites us to death haha," Yamamoto slung his arms around Kagome's shoulders.

"HIIEEEE! You're right! Let's go!" Tsuna grabbed at the two hands closest to him which was Kagome and Gokudera and pulled them while running to school.

"Whoa!" Yamamoto held tight on Kagome's hand as they were dragged by a panicked brunette.

With Hime

"Ja ne, Okaa-san!" Hime waved goodbye and run to school. She arrived at school with lots of time to spare.

She saw three of her friends Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri in the school yard on their way to their classroom.

"Morning!" Hime greeted running over to them.

"Morning!" the three chorused.

"Hey, where are your brother and his friends? Don't they usually drop you off?" Yuka asked as she looked over Hime's shoulders as if expecting the four mentioned boys would magically appear.

"They were running late so they went ahead," Hime shrugged.

Yuka and Eri pouted. Ayumi just sighed at their antics.

Hime looked confused so she looked at Ayumi.

Ayumi catching her look answered, "Eri and Yuka thinks that your brother, Yamamoto-sempai, Gokudera-sempai, and Higurashi-sempai are cute and hot."

The two girls' expression became dreamy.

"Well, we can't help it. Gokudera-sempai's bad boy attitude," Eri started.

"Tsuna-sempai's adorable and shy nature," Yuka continued.

"And don't forget Yamamoto-sempai's caring smile and easygoing aura," Eri said.

"And finally, Higurashi-sempai's mysterious and gentle side," Yuka finished.

"They're like the perfect boyfriend you could get," the two added with lovesick sighs.

"So which one do you have crush on? Is it Gokudera-sempai? Yamamoto-sempai?" Yuka asked.

Hime shook her head, "Yuka, they are like my brothers."

"Then maybe it's Higurashi-sempai," Eri said waggling her eyebrows suggestively.

Yuka squealed and Ayumi looked at them in disbelief.

Hime's eyes widened at the proclamation and shook her head furiously, "N-no! K-Kagome-nii is like my older brother!"

"Then why are you blushing?" Eri smiled coyly at her.

To Hime's utmost horror, she can feel the heat radiating in her cheeks.

Ayumi looked at her and raised a brow, "You like Higurashi-sempai?"

"N-no!" Hime denied.

"Sure ya don't~!" Eri and Yuka sang.

Ayumi sighed at them in resignation, "All of you are boy-crazy," then she walked ahead of them in favor to go to class early and to escape her boy-crazy friends. She often wonders how in the world she managed to be friends with them.

Hime tried to convince Eri and Yuka that she doesn't like Kagome, but they didn't listen to a word she said so she gave up.

The bell rang and all the students rushed to their classes.

Hime's day passed swiftly, but her thoughts were focused on a certain someone the whole day. As the last bell rang, she rushed out of the school building and continued to the school yard to wait for her brother and his friends.

'Do I like Kagome-nii? No, that's impossible. Kagome-nii is Kagome-nii. He's like my brother and I'm like his little sister,' the last sentence would have comforted her, but instead it struck her heart hard.

'Why does it hurt that Kagome-nii only see me as a sister? I don't like him, do I?' Hime's thoughts were caught off by the voice of the boy that is plaguing her mind the whole day.

Leaning on the wall waving at her was Kagome. His bag is still slung on his shoulder and his sword strapped on his back.

She always wondered why Kagome always seem to bring his sword with him when he is with her family. She asked him once and all the older boy did was ruffle her hair and smiled, but his eyes shown a different story.

"Hey Hime! The others went ahead and I kinda stayed and waited for you," Kagome rubbed his neck sheepishly. "They were in a hurry and I was, well, ordered to pick you up," Kagome laughed, but quickly added, "but I really don't mind though."

Hime blushed at the teen's ramblings and she actually found his actions quite cute. She didn't notice the hope rising in her chest seeing the teen before her is acting very much like a boy talking to the girl he likes.

"T-that's alright, Kagome-kun," Hime smiled shyly.

Kagome looked at her in surprise, "Eh, since when do you call me Kagome-kun? I thought it was always Kagome-nii."

Hime flushed in embarrassment, "O-oh, um, well I w-wanted to try t-to call y-you that, b-but if you w-want I can s-stop."

Kagome shook his head, "Nah, it's fine. Well, we should go. Wouldn't want the others to keep waiting," Kagome put his arms around the girl, but since Kagome is towering her for more that one foot, his hand was just resting on her shoulders and led the way while smiling brightly.

Hime's face turned red when Kagome put his hand on her shoulder and when she spotted Kagome's smile, her heart skipped a beat.

'Yes, I do. I do like Kagome,' Hime smiled.

At the house

"I'm glad that you made all your guardians come here," Reborn looking at Tsuna in approval.

"It's notthat easy to do Reborn," Tsuna said looking at Hibari, who was at the corner, and Mukuro, who took over Chrome just a few minutes ago and now leaning on a wall, warily.

"Even so, but we can't start yet since we are still missing Kagome and the girls," Reborn sipped his coffee which magically appeared from nowhere.

Hibari perked up by the slightest bit, which went unnoticed by everyone except Reborn and Mukuro, at the mention of the young male.

"Oya, oya. Does the little skylark took a liking at Bird-chan? How fitting," Mukuro mused.

Hibari twitched. "Pineapple herbivore, I'll bite you to death first," Hibari got out his tonfas and wasted no time attacking. Strange, he didn't deny Mukuro's observation.

With multiple tick marks on his head, Mukuro flashed his trident, "Never insult the hair," with that said both Mist and Cloud Guardians clashed.

"HIIEEEEE! H-Hibari-san, Mukuro stop fighting!" Tsuna panicked. 'Or else my house would be in ruins!'

Reborn kicked his student's head, "Dame-Tsuna, you're the boss so stop your Guardians from fighting."

"What do you think I'm trying to do?" Tsuna retorted.

"Shrieking like a little girl," Reborn stated with an innocent expression.

"REBORN!"

Tsuna turned back to the fight only to comically fall down flat on his face upon seeing the rest of his Guardians joining in on the fight.

'I give up. What did I ever do to deserve this?' Tsuna thought; his chibi-self crying hysterically and his little soul flying up to heaven.

"Oi, I've been only gone for 20 minutes and you guys are already fighting," a voice rang through the air.

They all look up and saw Kagome and Hime standing on the doorway of the living room with Haru and Kyoko behind them.

"I'm disappointed," Kagome's expression was downcast as Tsuna looked at him in happiness.

'Finally, someone who understands my pain!' Tsuna rejoiced as well as his chibi-self only to stop at the teen's next words.

"And seeing your conditions, you guys just started fighting. Damn and I thought that you guys would start fighting for the first five minutes. Well, there goes half of my paycheck," Kagome fished out a check from one of his pockets and handed it to Reborn.

"Pleasure working with you," Reborn accepted the check.

"Y-you were b-betting?" Tsuna asked, "Why? Why would you do that, Kagome?" Tsuna cried, feeling betrayed.

Kagome shrugged, "Thought it was an opportunity to make some money."

'No! No one understands at all!' Chibi-Tsuna resumed crying.

"Tadaima, Tsuna-nii! What are you guys doing?" Hime asked cutely.

Reborn looked at her then looked at Haru and Kyoko. He jumped on Kagome's shoulders and whispered something to him. Kagome nodded as Reborn proceeded to jump on Tsuna's head.

Kagome leaned down next to Haru's ear, "Haru, can you and Kyoko take Hime for an ice cream or something? Reborn will talk to us about the mafia and the Vongola. We'll tell you what you missed."

Haru nodded, "Hahi! Of course! Ne, Kyoko-chan, Hime-chan let's get some cake!" Haru looked at Kyoko and Kyoko nodded understandingly.

"Yatta, let's go, ne! Bye minna-san!" Kyoko waved.

Haru kissed Kagome on the cheek surprising everyone except for Kyoko, Reborn, and Kagome before dragging Hime out and following Kyoko.

Kagome waved goodbye then turned to the others with a smile on his face as he hummed contently.

The others staring at him except for one and he's glaring at Kagome with mixed emotions.

Silence.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

More silence.

"…"

"..."

"…"

Okay, this is getting annoying… Finally, Kagome broke the silence.

"No questions?" Kagome asked still smiling. Everyone knew it was shit-eating expression. The expression he knew he was deliberately pissing someone off and enjoying it.

"W-why…H-haru…how…k-kiss," Tsuna sputtered incoherently. Last time he checked, Haru has a crush on him.

"Hmm, what was that, Tsuna? You need to speak out louder and clearer for me to be able to understand you," Kagome leaned down.

"WHEN DID YOU STARTED DATING THAT STUPID WOMAN!" Gokudera finally burst out.

"Hmm, oh that. I don't know. Like few weeks ago. I asked her out and she said yes," Kagome informed them, "Why? Do you like her? If you had told me you like her, I would have never asked her out."

"No, I don't like her…It's just surprising that you're dating her of all people," Gokudera muttered.

"Hey! Haru's cute, nice, kind, sweet, beautiful, and a best girlfriend I could ever hope for!" Kagome defended his girlfriend.

"You forgot annoying on your list," Gokudera said.

Like always the two got into a verbal war with the others trying to calm the two Storms before they could do any more damage to the house.

Reborn looked at the ever-silent Cloud guardian and hopped on his shoulder.

"You like him, don't you," rather than a question it came out as a statement.

"Hn," Hibari grunted refusing to look at the baby and denying his feelings for the dark-haired Storm.

But it was no use. He knew that he likes the boy, probably even love him, but telling the younger boy his feelings not knowing if the boy likes girls or boys (or both) held him back. Now, knowing that he likes girls and have a girlfriendhe knew he had no chance.

When the herbivore kissed his omnivore on the cheek, he barely controlled himself from attacking the girl and when his omnivore confirmed that they were dating and that he was the one who made the first move, his heart dropped to his stomach. It was worse when the boy defended his girlfriend with compliments. His heart was stabbed with every word that he said about his girl.

It hurt. A lot. He's confused and he doesn't know what to feel. Whether to be angry, sad, or jealous. He was in a turmoil.

Reborn saw the fleeting emotions pass the boy's face. Reborn knew that Hibari likes Kagome. Like Gokudera's relationship with Hibari, Kagome and Hibari did not get along on their first meeting, but as they spend more time with each other Hibari grew to respect the assassin. They had so many things in common such as cute animals, solitude, peacefulness and so much more. Their attitudes may clash, but there was the saying of "Opposites attract".

They spar when they have time and that's when Hibari starts acknowledging Kagome as an omnivore instead of a herbivore and that's also when Hibari starts liking Kagome more than a sparring partner/friend. But seeing Kagome with another person, it crushed Hibari. He was heartbroken.

"Don't worry, Hibari. They may not be together forever and you might have a chance with him," Reborn patted the other's cheek and jumped off to stop the fighting before it escalates further more.

"Alright, stop fighting! I didn't call you here just to fight! Now, sit down!" Reborn ordered while firing some shots.

They took their seats and Reborn nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, I called you here because Nono invited all of us to go to Italy for a party. Why, you may ask. It's because he will be introducing his heir and the next Guardians in the Mafia world," Reborn stated.

"NOW! He is announcing me as his heir?" Tsuna yelled.

"Not right now, but close. He is announcing you as his heir next week."

"That doesn't help, Reborn!" Tsuna argued.

"Well, it kinda does, Tsuna. You still have days before the announcement." Kagome piped out.

Tsuna glared at the smart-ass assassin. His look saying 'You're not helping'.

Kagome raised his arms as a surrendering gesture.

"Thank you, Kagome," Reborn gestured his tiny arms at the teen. "At least someone here has a brain."

Kagome smirked cheekily.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, Arcobaleno, but I don't dabble in mafia affairs," Mukuro stood up, but sat back down when Reborn fired.

"I don't care if you don't want to be involved in the mafia. You are Dame-Tsuna's Mist Guardian whether you like it or not and you, Hibari, will go. All of you are required to go. We don't give a damn if you hate the mafia, crowds or don't want to be the boss. All of us are going and that is final! If I hear one more word out of you concerning this party and not going, I will shootholes all over your body! Understand?" Reborn said with so much hostility that they allwinced at the threat and they all shivered when Reborn leaked some of his killer intent in the air to prove his point.

They nodded, too scared to disagree with Reborn.

When Reborn saw their nods he dropped his scary side and put on his angelic smile, "Good, now let's decide who will patrol the perimeter and disguise as a worker before and after they announce the Guardians and Dame-Tsuna."

'Bipolar much,' they all thought as cold sweat dripped down their temples.

"But Reborn, what about Hime and Mom? They are not involved and they can't know about the Mafia," Tsuna stated.

A gasp resounded throughout the room and they all turned to the source only to end up gaping with horror-stricken faces.

There standing right in front of them was Hime with her eyes wide and her hand covering her mouth. Behind her was Kyoko and Haru with apologetic faces.

"M-mafia? N-nii-san you're involved w-with the m-mafia? A-all of you?" Hime asked. Her voice laced with fear and uncertainty.

With the girls

Haru dragged Hime out of the house and when they reached a respectable distance, she stopped running.

"Ne, Haru-nee, when did you and Kagome-kun start seeing each other?" Hime asked quietly.

Both girls looked down at their charge.

"Hmm, Kagome-kun asked Haru a few weeks ago and Haru said yes," Haru answered.

"The way Kagome-kun asked you out was so sweet, Haru-chan. I wish that someone would ask me out like that," Kyoko sighed.

Haru giggled, "Hai, hai. I think it was sweet too."

Hime looked at Kyoko, "You were there when Kagome-kun asked Haru out?"

Kyoko nodded in affirmative.

"Well, Haru-nee how did Kagome-kun asked you out?" Hime asked, her heart constricting painfully.

"Well, Kagome-kun first sent someone to give me a poem and a flower and within the poem was a clue to the next poem and with every poem there was a different flower with a meaning. It was cute. The poem, flower and the meaning I mean," Haru stared at the sky with a peaceful look on her face.

"Then it started leading Haru and Kyoko to a park with a lot of people in a line. The people removed their jackets and their shirts had letters on it. Haru found out that the letters spelt out, 'Will you go out with me, Haru?' then Kagome-kun came out with three roses on his hand and said, 'Well, will you?'. Haru couldn't say no for all his hard work so Haru said yes. It was the best decision Haru ever made. Haru really likes Kagome-kun and Haru knows that Kagome-kun likes Haru too," Haru finished with a smile.

Hime couldn't take it anymore. She ran. Ran away from them and started running to the direction of her house. Her heart hurts so much knowing the guy she likes worked so hard to ask the girl he likes.

'Why couldn't he like me? Oh yeah, I'm like his little sister! It's so unfair!' Hime cried, ignoring the shouts from Kyoko and Haru to come back.

She reached her house well aware that the two girls caught up to her by now, but she continued running. She took of her shoes and was about to run upstairs when she heard voices from the living room.

Unable to stop her curiosity, she peeked through the door and saw Reborn talking to her brother and the others.

She saw Reborn talking, no threatening them to come to a party or else he'll shoot them.

'What party is Reborn-chan talking about?' Hime thought.

She sensed the two girls behind her watching the scene silently.

Then she heard Reborn talking about patrolling the perimeter and disguising as a worker.

'What the heck? Are they hired to be guards or something?' Hime asked herself.

What Hime heard next from her brother made her gasp.

"But Reborn, what about Hime and Mom? They are not involved and they can't know about the Mafia."

They turned to her gaping with horror-stricken faces.

"M-Mafia? N-Nii-san you're involved w-with the m-mafia? A-All of you?" Hime asked. She was well aware that her voice might have sound scared, but she doesn't care. All she cares about is that answer whether her brother and his friends are indeed involved with the mafia.

"H-Hime," Tsuna stuttered.

"D-Don't lie to me, nii-san" Hime asked.

They lapsed into silence unable to answer. Few looked away, some looked down and others stared back at her, but didn't answer.

Kagome broke the silence yet again, "Well, shit. We never thought you'll find out soon…" Kagome trailed off then added, "we also never thought that you would find out this way…but I guess what's done is done."

The Guardians, Tsuna, and Reborn looked at him pointedly and he shrugged, "Hey, we can't blame the kid for being curious since she overheard us talking. Anyway, since our meeting is postponed for now 'cause our little boss here will have some explaining to do with our cute little mafia princess over there, Haru and I will go on a date. Ja ne! See you tomorrow!" Kagome walked over Haru and held her hand and both disappeared as they walked out of the door with their things.

One by one the guardians and Kyoko left the house leaving Reborn, Tsuna, and Hime.

*Kagome's hairstyle is just like Shiraishi Kuranosuke from Prince of Tennis except for the bangs covering her left eye.

**I don't know the Namimori Elementary School uniform so I didn't describe it.

Dom: So obviously, I'm editing the whole story. Some sentences were changed because they were awkward and wrong and some didn't make any sense so yeah.
