Chapter 2: Here We Go Again

Sawada Tsunahime stare at the building of her beloved Namimori Middle Chuu. It's still the same as she remembered. Memories of her middle school day flashed before her and the time traveller can't help but feels slightly nostalgic and melancholic. Her middle school days were the happiest moments in her precious life even with Reborn's and mafia's constant meddling. Her past self used to loathe school but now, as she standing here, it felt like this is what she wanted all along.

Middle school are times when someone is growing up yet still innocent, when someone fall in love for real, when someone study more in both academic and life. When someone is a child growing to an adult.

The times she missed the most.

Tsuna breathe in deeply before walking towards the building, confident on every step she take. Every step she take, a memory flash before her. Her memories of being bullied, of being late, of being greeted by Kyoko, of hanging out with Gokudera and Yamamoto, of watching those two have a one sided argument, of Ryohei chasing her to join the boxing club, of Reborn and Lambo sneak into the school. Of Shamal. Of Bianchi. Of the Varia. And of course, the memories of Hibari biting people to death.

Tsuna can't help but smile a little.

She stopped before her class' door. Once she looked at it with fright and now she looked at it with longing. Her slightly shaky hand slide the door open and she is greeted with the familiar yet unfamiliar scene. The scene of the boys talking and joking, the scene of the girls gossiping and giggling, the scene of the sun beam peeked through the curtains and glass, the school yard scenery from the windows. She has been in three different class room yet they are the same. She has been with these people for three years… They enter middle school together and graduate from middle school together…

Tsuna smiled softly and stride to her seat elegantly. Years of Reborn's drilling to be a mafia and Bianchi's drilling to be a lady changes her in many aspects, including how she walks. A mafia must walk with power radiating while a lady must walk with charisma radiating. And she is the Decima of Vongola family.

She noted how others has stop doing anything they were doing at the moment and watch her as she walked to her seat. She can't help but chuckled inwardly. She has more or less realized how her appearance changes due to the time travel and how it affect Shouichi and the others. Shouichi maybe a man by heart and mind but his body is 14 years old and so is she.

They have to go through puberty again.

Charming

Tsuba huffed and put down her bag. For once, she don't come to school late. Her classmates and teacher must be surprised.

"Sawada. Good morning."

"Ah, Kurokawa-san. Good morning."

The black haired girl smiled cooly at her. Based on her memories of Kurokawa Hana, the girl must be surprised with her… Physical changes. Indeed, Hana's eyes is scrutinizing her, as if looking if there are something like hair extension and pads to make her chest look full. And heels to make her taller. Tsuna could see disappointment and impress mixed on her face when she sees nothing fake about her appearance.

"You looked mature."

"Thanks."

Some whispers can be heard around Tsuna and the blonde choose not to pay attention of what they are saying, for middle school gossips are so childish. The boys are quite childish too.

"Boys will be boys," she sighed.

"What's that?" Hana perked up.

"It's nothing, Kurokawa-san."

"I believe you just saying something about boys," Hana said with a glint in her eyes.

"What's something about boys?" A new voice joined them. Tsuna felt her heart sank a little.

It's Sasagawa Kyoko, her female best friend in the past/future. The beloved younger sister of her Sun Guardian. She who has nothing to do with the mafia but died in Millefiore's hands because of her. Her sparkling, innocent eyes looked at her with cheerfulness. Such a look that someone like her doesn't deserve.

"Kyoko…"

"Good morning, Tsuna-chan! You look so pretty today!"

"It's true. You look so mature."

Guilt stabbed her heart painfully that Tsuna can't bear to look at the two innocent girls whose future were destroyed by her.

"I-Is that so?"

"Are you in love with someone, Sawada?" Hana looked at her seriously.

"What?"

"There is no way a girl can change this drastic in one day except there someone she's in love with."

"I'm not in love with someone," said Tsuna who could feel heat spreading on her face.

Hana smirked, "Then why your face is so red? Chill, girl. I won't laugh at people who are genuinely in love." The taller girl expect the shorter girl blush or deny it but to Hana's surprise, Tsuna looks like considering it, judging from her expression. Kyoko doesn't realize this though.

"So are you dating someone?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Is he from this school?" Hana start questioning her.

"No."

"Is he around our age?"

"Yes."

"Tall?"

"Taller than me, at least."

"Cute?"

"Oh yes."

"Intellect?"

"Very intelligent."

"Athlete?"

"No."

"Wear glasses?"

"Yes."

"Shy?"

"A little."

"Mature?"

"Very."

"Cool?"

"Warm."

"Play music?"

"Cello and guitar."

"Rich?"

"Normal."

"Gentleman?"

"Chivalrous."

"Name?"

"Nice try, Kurokawa."

Hana frown a little before smirked at her, "Sounds like a keeper. I don't really like guys with glasses but your guy is good enough. It's hard to find decent guys now, especial the 'cool' and 'mature' type."

'Yeah… And Lambo need 10 years to become like that… Still a crybaby though.' The thought of her Lightning Guardian brought a pang in her heart. "I'm sure there will be someone who… mature enough around here, Kurokawa-san," Tsuna said kindly while her thoughts went to future Ryohei. "You just need to be observant."

"Thanks, Sawada. Hope it works out between you andyour boyfriend" It's hard for Tsuna not to miss the teasing tone in her voice when Hana said boyfriend. Tsuna about to retort when Hana turned to Kyoko. "What about you, Kyoko? Anything interesting happen between you and Mochida-senpai?

Tsunahime frowned at the mention of her senpai's name. She almost forgot completely about Mochida. She remember all to well about the kendo match she once had with him. Hopefully these time she doesn't have to deal with him. Tsuna watched in discontent as Kyoko blushed slightly.

"There's nothing going on between Mochida-senpai and I!" she said while holding her hands up.

"Riiiight~"

Tsuna just sighed at the two. Her head perked up as she hear the door slid open and her heart sank as she saw the younger version of her Rain Guardian enter the class room with wide goofy smile of his plastered in his face. All the boys and some of the girls greet him and he greet back. His eyes fell on her form and Tsuna gulped. She watched as his smile faltered a little. His eyes widened a little. To her surprise, his smile widened and Yamamoto waved at her. Awkwardly, she waved back. As Yamamoto went to his seat, Tsuna caught him stealing glances at her with a barely recognized blush on his tan skin.

Now that she think about it, she never consider having a romantic relationship with someone before as she spent all of her times training or constantly on high alert for assassin. Now that she is here she can date whoever she wants and think forward for potential husband. She maybe 14 again but the horror of the future make her consider everything.

Her teacher enter the room and everyone went to their seat. Tsuna take a seat open her textbook but her mind wander to anything other than the lesson. The future, Byakuran, Varia, Reborn, Arcobaleno…

Aria and Uni!

Those to must be alive and well right now. Tsuna is glad with that but another think dawn to her. What if those two know about her and Shouichi? After all, the head of Giglionero Famiglia is known to be a seer. A very good one even. Well, if those two did know about them, they sure will keep their mouth shut until they have a very good reason to interfere. Tsuna sighed.

"Sawada!"

"…Yes?"

"Answer this!" the teacher pointed a equation on the black board. Tsuna stared at it for a few seconds before sighing again.

"It's -4."

There is silence.

"Co-Correct…," her teacher stuttered. Many shot her odd looks as the teacher turn his back to write more number on the black board. Tsuna merely rolled her eyes and look to the window. The sky is blue and the white clouds looked like cotton. She remembered when she can see Hibird flying here and there through the window. Now that she think about it, she should let out Natsu and other Box Animals later. Shouichi also said he have a Box Animal too... Unconsciously her hand went inside her bag where she put her Box Animals. Her fingers brushed with one of the box and she hears a low purr.

'Uri…,' she thought lovingly.

The rest of the class went uneventful and so is the next. Before she knew it, it's lunch time already. She grabbed her bag and run out the class before anyone know it except one.

"Sorry, guys! Can you go ahead?"

Tsunahime went to the backyard, where Gokudera once challenged her for the title of Decimo. Why Reborn lie to Gokudera about Vongola is beyond her as only those with the Vongola Blood can become the head of Vongola. The ochre haired girl just sighed while she pull out a box. Kojirou. She pull out her ring and summon her flame. A feeling of nostalgic wash over her as she set out the bird. Kojirou soared above her for a few minutes before perched on her stretched fingers.

"Kojirou," a small smile appear on her face as the Rain Swallow looked up at her with warm eyes. "You know what I just saw? Your master. Younger but alive and full of spirit…" The bird chirped happily at her. "I'm happy too… Now why don't you stretch your wings? If you saw Hibari, don't do anything, okay?" The bird chirped at her and took off but still flying around her. Tsuna's eyes widened as he fly in circles- No… Hearts.

"Are you trying to cheer me up?"

"Who trying to cheer you up?"

Tsuna turned around swiftly and her heart sank again. It's Yamamoto, smiling kindly at her.

"Y-Yamamoto..."

"Is he yours?" Yamamoto point to Kojirou who now perched on her shoulder.

"Yes... I mean, no!" Yamamoto's brows raised. "He... Kojirou originally belong to a very dear friend of mine... Before... Before he died."

"Oh," Yamamoto's expression soften, "I'm sorry."

Kojirou flew from Tsunahime's shoulder to Yamamoto's, chirping loudly. He smiled and ran a hand to stroke the bird. There were silence between them except Koujirou's chirping. Yamamoto's black eyes glanced over the girl next to him. Tsunahime is looking at the distance, as if lost in memories. Her eyes. Her figure. Long soft hair reaching her back. Thick eye lashes. Half lidded doe eyes. Petite figure. Hour glass body. Some kind of aura, aura of maturity oozing out of her. Her doe eyes shifted to him. Yamamoto were taken aback with such intensity in her eyes.

There are sadness, pain, loneliness and...

Longing?

"Koujirou...," Koujirou leaped to her stretched out fingers as his name come out from her mouth. She brought him near her face. To his surprise, Tsuna kissed the bird on the head. Yamamoto gulped at the sight of her plump pink lips. "The owner of Kojirou... was a very good friend of mine... An idiot but very kind..."

"...How did he die?"

"...He's trying to safe his little brother from...," Tsunahime stopped there. The real cause of Yamamoto's death was to safe Lambo from the attack of the White Spells. "...He's a good person..."

"You really like him, huh?"

Tsunahime smiled. She looked up to Yamamoto and looked at him warmly, "He's the one who always wash away others and my pain and sadness. Always kind and gentle. Yes, I like him very much."

"I'd like to meet the guy. He seems like a fun person."

"Is that so?" Tsuna tilted her head.

"Too bad that he..."

"No. He's still alive."

"Eh?"

Tsunahime smiled softly at Kojirou, "He lives in me and Koujirou... Isn't that right, Kojirou?" The swallow chirped. She turned to Yamamoto, "Do you want to eat lunch together with me?"

Yamamoto gaped at her for a second before blush took over his face and he stuttered, "S-Sure."

Tsunahime smiled.

Soon lunch is over, then the next class started and before anyone know it, gym class has start. Tsunahime has changed to her sports uniform, a white shirt and red bloomers. She really can't understand why this have to be the girls' uniform. Okay, bloomer is fine used by girls in gymnastics and battles. She knew that from experiences. But in daily basis like in school? Now Tsunahime can feel hot stares directed to her from boys in her class. They are either staring at her chest or ass. How charming of them.

Hormones

Tsunahime's mind wander as the PE teacher shouts about something. Her mind wandered to Shouichi, Natsu, Iemitsu, Reborn and surprisingly, Lancia.

Lancia, sweet ol' Lancia.

He is full of honor and nice to kids. She liked him. Too bad right now he is possessed by Mukuro. If it wasn't because of Mukuro, recruiting Lancia is the very first thing she will done. Gathering the Guardians is important, but gathering allies is an urgent matter right now. She can always need new allies such as Fon, Colonello, the Giglionero Famiglia and even Skull. It's important to gather the Arcobaleno too. And Uni should be alive at the moment, though probably at the same age of Lambo and I-pin. Heck, she might not even knows about Mafia yet. And if she want to do something crazy, she might even try to turn Vendice to be her allies.

She chuckled hollowly. Riiiight. Like those mummies will be her allies. They didn't even submit to Byakuran so what can she says about Vongola? Tsunahime shook her head. Time is a delicate thing, moreover time travel.

She has to be extra careful to not to change the flow too much.

Suddenly she has this feeling that someone is watching her and the Decimo looked up. She smiled ruefully when she saw Hibari Kyouya looking down at them, at her. He leaned to the fence on the rooftop and his steely eyes upon her. Tsunahime couldn't help it. Her eyes turned orange for a split second and she smirked at him or in one point of view, smiled seductively.

Huh, she has too much experiences flirting with other mafiosos for the benefit of Vongola.

Blame Bianchi (and Reborn) on that.

Her Guardians and Shouichi are more or less annoyed but knew that this is for their own sake. As long as they knew that she is still a virgin, they still have... some restrain over themselves. And truthfully? She never had her first kiss either.

Strange, she once dwells in the world full of web of lust, greed and lies and yet she still so pure... Physically, anyway.

Her train of thought halted when girls squealed at Yamamoto who hit a home run. The 24-years-old-woman-in-14-years-old-girl's-body shook her head.

So much for being innocent.

Wonder how Shouichi's doing right now?

Just because you enrolled in an all boys school doesn't mean you can't have romances in your young life.

Irie Shouichi realized that now.

He didn't fail to notice some people, mostly his upperclassmen gives him glances and looks, especially the good looking ones.

No, he is being silly but the mechanic is more or less realize how the situation is and what those glances means. He is strongly reminded of those mangas he found in older I-pin's room accidentally. Oh, so many scenes he want to forget...

He really can't understand it.

No, he doesn't want to.

What is it with girls and their strange interest with boys love aka Shounen Ai? Or... dare he said it... Gay love.

Please don't ask him on how the perfectly straight Irie Shouichi of Vongola knew about this kind of things. He can only be glad that Tsunahime doesn't have any interest with those kind of things or...

His whole body shuddered.

Still, he can't help but admit that he is good looking now. Slightly tan skin (how weird, when his job in the future required him indoor all the time), thick red hair, lean figure, slight yet firm muscles, wise eyes hidden behind the cool rims of his glasses... Oh, and his long bony fingers that only true artists possessed. This could pass him as not a Uke nor Seme…

Shouichi shuddered.

Why people like yaoi and yuri is beyond him…

He sighed.

Anyway, he must go home and quickly make weapons and programs... And to prepare something for Tsunahime...

Tsunahime smiled at her door. When she stepped inside, it will truly begin, again. Reborn entering her life. Hellish training, egoistic baby, temperament self proclaimed right hand man, happy go lucky baseball star, EXTREME boxer, crybaby cow, sky lark, two pineapple haired illusionist. She will get them again.

Right now.

"Chaos Reborn... Iemitsu inviare qui per me girare la mafia vuole che io sia, non è vero?"

A small figure appeared from the shadows.

"How do you..."

"Woman's instinct."

Translation: Iemitsu send you here to turn me to the mafia he wants me to be, isn't he?

I'm super busy so I can't write much

More Reborn and Hibari goodness next chapter
