Jak was even more confused as he explained. They way he phrased it, it sounded like it was more than just him and her being friends. Not to mention… they were new so it wasn't logical that Daisuke's or any of his family knew her at all, yet he knew her name and how she acted. She tried to figure it out, but soon someone -Mister Bolonga, the gym teacher- came and pulled Daisuke's brother away. What exactly was he trying to show her that would prove his extremely unlikely claim? She felt like she should follow him, but at the same time she didn't want to get in trouble.
Then David showed up, asking if she wanted to follow him and see if what the man said was true. Jak, against her better judgement, said,"sure, the way he acted he was so certain that he was from ten years in the future. If he is, I want to ask him a few questions." for once! she wore a serious face. If he was from ten years in the future, did he know what would happen to make them friends? Did he know about her father? She wanted to know all these things, because even though her mother said that her father died of natural causes… they had a closed casket funeral.
Also, she wanted to know about the karate thing. How had he known about that? They way he spoke it was like he knew all about her, even though they'd just moved there. She smiled, at least she wasn't going alone to see what was going on. "Come on, Mister Balogna probably dragged that guy to his office. If we hurry I think I know a few good hiding spaces in there."

Jak didn't say anything for a long time, watching Daisuke as he spoke. She tried to figure out the best way to phrase what to say next. "Sir. That's not at all funny, what would your younger brother say if he saw you running around in your shorts and claiming to be him?" she moved to her bag, carefully watching him the whole time. Clearly this person wasn't right in the head. Then she heard the bag drop and something clank inside. She brushed it off, it was probably some kind of toy, judging by the purple she saw.
She began to back away, still facing him. Well... maybe leaving him alone wasn't the best option. What he wandered off and got himself hurt? She grimaced at the thought, but she had to do it. It was the right thing to do. She couldn't believe she was going to ask this... "If you really are Daisuke from ten years in the future, why visit me? It's not like we're friends or anything yet. I just met him this morning." was she really playing into this sicko's hands? For all she knew, he could have been waiting for this chance. He just needed a gullible victim then... she didn't have to spell out the rest of the story.
Hopefully David would jump in if something happened. He was waiting nearby, she saw. Worst case she was in broad daylight with witnesses. She hadn't known David long, but she assumed that he had some kind of a good heart to him, even if he looked like a prankster. She kept her right foot back, her center of gravity low, and her bag over her shoulder. She felt like a coiled spring, ready to snap at any moment should the situation change. Something was off about this guy, and it was more than he was carrying a bag and just wearing swim trunks.

I think a flaw in my reasoning is that I haven't seen all of it yet and maybe I'm not the most educated in flames…

I won't argue this any further since you've clearly thought this out and done some research behind it. Well done, by the way.
(Also, please please refrain from spoilers! I know it needed to be said, just don't spoil anything else for me yet. I've reached episode fifty five, but that doesn't mean I don't know what kind of flames Xanxus has yet…)

I'd like to think that I am thinking in the universe. While the Yakuza have a different sort of infrastructure, The mom rising to power and automatically knowing about the flames is something I'm not sure about. Even though she may have been smart, it's pretty clear that at this point in the anime for me, regular people don't have access to make their flames just appear. Also. If you carefully study the culture surrounding the anime (also the yakuza), as well as pay close attention to how many of each gender are in the mafia, you'll see that not a lot of females actually are in the mafia/yakuza.
Applying this logic, that means that having two women rise to power is highly unlikely. No if ands or buts. I don't care that she's older than Tsuna, I care that these events are getting more and more unlikely.
Then there's the Mom's story. I can get that she's just a prostitute who can be smart. However, she had seven years to learn how to work the Yakuza, how the flames work, and get a suitable tutor for her daughter. Outside if smarts, I really don't see the sort of aggression that would be needed to hold the Yakuza under her thumb. (See: O-Ren Ishii from Kill Bill.) The Mom didn't do anything except just inherit the role, whereas I'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen.
Where would Yakuza get access to mafia bullets and pills? How could she train without these? Who trained her to be able to just entered HDWM?
She's a cool character, but the 'unlikelies' keep piling up here…

Jakki was eating peacefully, daydreaming about how to best counter the moves the juniors had done yesterday when a man in swimming trunks walked up to her. While she couldn't hide her confusion, she did manage to say, "sir, you know that swimming in the canals isn't a good idea, right? We dump all sorts of garbage in there."
He was familiar too, the way he talked and carried himself. Not to mention his face… Jak had tok think on who looked like that. It took her a moment, but she finally managed to pin down exactly who he looked like. "You're Daisuke's older brother right? You two look a lot alike." she smiled, a little more relaxed that it wasn't some pervert. Then again, why was he in swim trunks? "Uh, sir… maybe running around in swim trunks and nothing else isn't a good idea."
She stood and threw away her lunch bag, carefully arranging her footwork so that if he tried anything she would be ready. He may be Daisuke's older brother, but that didn't mean she could just dismiss him as a threat. The man was clearly at least a little bit loony, going out in nothing but swim trunks on an autumn day. Maybe he'd leave her alone soon, she didn't really want to deal with a nutcase on her way to class. The last thing she needed was to get her uniform dirty.

Jak had been doodling little stick figures in her notebook, pretending to have them fight each other when the teacher yelled a name. Jak naturally jumped, flinging her pencil into the air for a moment only to have it crash back to the floor. Jak waited a moment and realized it had been to Fiore, not her. She'd relaxed back into taking notes when she was almost smacked by Fiore's arm as she stretched out after the bell. When most of the class had left, Jak pulled out her lunch bag which was a brown paper bag, and walked down to pick a spot to sit.
Since Jak's father died, they had less money flowing in to cover going out to eat lunch every day so Jak settled for a lunch bag and just sitting down to eat it. It wasn't like it was competition for best lunch either. It was just something that was the new normal, something that even Jak herself was still adjusting to. It couldn't be helped, even if she wanted to fix it. Jak wandered for a bit, trying to find a decent spot to eat and talk to the others. She noted where Cyril was, and avoided it like the plague. The last thing she needed was to talk to him right now.
So she picked a spot on some grass and sat down to eat her slightly crushed peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Hmm... maybe if she ate fast she could run home and grab her bat to practice with for a bit. No, that was silly plan. She wasn't going to be able to be able to even have time to hold that bat for very long. The most she could was grab it after school and arrive a little late to practice. It was better to have a weapon than to deal with school officials.
For now, she'd have to figure something out. How was she going to improve her form when it was clearly lacking somewhere? It was too bad none of her close friends really cared about karate or martial arts like she did, then maybe she could have gotten some input from them. A passing group of students waved at her, and she waved back. Looked like she'd be eating alone today, which was fine. She might practice some on the nearest tree, and she didn't need an admiring crowd which was nice during matches, but useless for input and criticism.

Even if she was experienced, I just doubt it since she's only fifteen years old. I'd feel that it makes more sense if she had the pills or a bullet. It just seems weird that a fifteen year old girl is in charge of the Yakuza...
EDIT: Read her history, but I don't think seven years is enough to master entering HDWM without pills or a bullet. Especially since her mother likely didn't know about it until much later. It took a year, near death experience, and even more training just for Tsuna to use his flames like that. Not to mention even if she was especially good at being a hitman, I just don't think that someone who was on the outside of mafia, brought in, then the head would know completely about flames and be able to train her daughter to that degree.

I just have a problem with a fifteen year old just being able to initiate HDWM on her own, but maybe I missed something in her past that made her able to just enter it.
Wait… who is playing the tutor?
