Chapter 01: Game Plan

Sawada Tower was the most intimidating building Giotto had ever seen. That's it. It stood thirty floors high with various antennae decorating its top. They entered the building's lobby and wished they had never entered. The lobby was decorated very beautifully without taking the office feeling to it. The fact that they stood there with suitcases and various luggage made them feel humiliated and out of place.

"Oh! Welcome, members of Vongola band!" Sawada Nana smiled and wave to them. "Once again, I'm Sawada Nana. I'm the vice president of Sawada Company and Head Chef of the Food department!" The woman bowed slightly. "Nice to meet you, Nana-san! Haha!" The tall bassist stepped forward and shook the woman's hand.

"I'm Yamamoto Takeshi, the bassist!" Yamamoto Takeshi grinned pleasantly. "Hm! Nice to meet you, Yamamoto-kun! Let's go to your penthouse, shall we?" Nana smiled and guided the seven males to the elevator. "You guys will live in Tsuna's penthouse on the 27th floor. It doubles as his office so you won't see him out from there so often." Sawada Nana smiled for the umpteenth time that day.

When the elevator reached 27th floor, they were greeted by Blue. Just… Blue. It was a beautiful penthouse. The blue-colored walls with white ceiling, a chandelier decorated the room elegantly. The sofas were broken white in color. There was a very large flat screen TV with the Sawada Platforms, from the big one until the handheld ones. Joysticks are thrown messily on a small table in front of the sofa, and a paused Sawada Hunt game series signaling that there was someone playing that game earlier.

Sawada Nana guided them to a certain room beside the TV. "Okay. This is where Tsuna mostly spend his time. I'll introduce him to you guys, okay?" She smiled pleasantly and opened the door. It was a simple orange and white accented room with a long table inside. There were so many chairs circling the long table. The Vongola band members can see a boy sitting on a chair directly in front of the door, thus making it face to the other side of the room. He was scribbling on a white paper and threw it away from his place. The amounts of the papers being thrown away are massive, as if he did nothing but scribbling for days.

"Aaah~ I will have to ask someone from the Game department to pick this up later." Nana sighed, but smiled right after. "Excuse me, but… what are these?" Gokudera asked. "Oh? These are new character designs for Sawada Hunt game. Tsu-kun is very careless about these precious documents. You can expect them to be one of your favorite characters from the Sawada Hunts." Nana giggled.

Giotto knew that even though Gokudera never voiced it, he was obsessed with Sawada Hunt series. The games are never boring and will always connect to each other in a very entrancing or shocking ways. Giotto once noticed the silver-haired keyboardist in Akihabara, lining for the newest installment of Sawada Hunts.

"Tsu-kun~" Sawada Nana called. The young boy didn't bat an eyelash and called back. "Mom. A-are you here to bring my lunch?" The way the brunet kept scribbling yet stammered surprised almost everyone in the room. "Hmm~ No~ But I'll send someone to bring you your lunch. Be sure to eat them this time, Tsu-kun!" Somehow, Sasagawa Ryohei found it weird that Sawada Nana didn't touch his son even once. "I will, in t-two hours. This new weapon will have to be found in Korow Mountain or the player won't be able to access the next storyline!" The brunet said to himself while scribbling excitedly on his notes on throw it to the floor. "That's nice, Tsu-kun!" Nana laughed at her son's antic.

Gokudera shivered in happiness while hearing the new hint for Sawada Hunt's next installment. "Umm," Nana gestured the band to come inside the room. "Tsu-kun, do you remember when Papa and I asked you if you mind having roommates?" Nana enquired. Her son nodded. "Y-yeah I remember. I said I don't mind, right?" The boy replied, still not looking to their direction. "Well, here they are now."

"WHAT?"

The young brunet turned his seat facing to everyone's direction. Almost everyone in the room blushed. The brunet has a petite figure. He sat in a very weird manner, like a certain character in Death Note manga. He was wearing a white pajamas that was slightly too big for him as it revealed his shoulders. His mouth was agape in shock as he examined the Vongola boys. A large, red-rimmed glasses that adore his face fell to his nose. He tilted his head and straightened his glasses. "Everyone, this is my son, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Nana announced proudly. She wanted to ruffle her son's hair, but refrained from doing so, an action that was thought weird by the Vongola boys.

Sawada Tsunayoshi instantly blushed and looked down. He stood up and shifted his weight on different legs each time he breaths, a very very peculiar action. "Tsu-kun, can mother touch you?" Sawada Nana asked. The younger brunet gulped very uncomfortably before finally nodding. Sawada Nana smiled happily and grabbed Tsunayoshi's shoulder. Tsunayoshi closed his eyes and flinched.

"Tsu-kun, these people are from the Vongola band. You know them, don't you?" Tsunayoshi snapped his eyes often and ran from Nana's arm. He ran full speed to a certain redhead in the room. He stopped abruptly in front of him, his eyes sparkling from admiration, but he didn't touch him. "Y-y-you're Kozato Enma-san? I-I've been your fan ever since you substituted Yamamoto Takeshi-san in your concert in London."

Kozato Enma scratched his cheek awkwardly before nodding. "Yeah… I'm Kozato Enma…" They sub-bassist answered in low tone. "Hmm looks like you're already getting along! See you later, Tsu-kun!" Sawada Nana then whispered to the every boy in Vongola band good luck and left them alone. After a few awkward minutes, Yamamoto Takeshi laughed. "Ahahaha! That was weird. You actually liked a substitute better than the original members?" He patted Tsuna's shoulder from behind.

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!" Tsuna leaped from the spot so abruptly that Enma fell from his impact. He stepped on the redhead's arm, earning the boy's grunt. Tsunayoshi ran across to his dining room and hide under the dining table, shivering like crazy. "What the hell did you just do baseball-freak?" Gokudera shouted to the raven-haired teenager. "Oioi I just pat his shoulder, that's all!"

"Kufufufu that was certainly interesting." Mukuro chuckled. "More like EXTREMELY interesting!" Ryohei agreed. "Enma, are you okay?" Giotto crouched down to the redhead, offering the poor redhead his hand. "Y-yeah… I'm fine…" Enma clutched his arm and stood up with Giotto's help.

"Okay, first we need to approach him. Not to scare him." Giotto sighed. He dragged his suitcase to the dining room with the other following after him. He placed his suitcase neatly beside the fridge and get down on his knees so he could see the boy under the table. "Hello, Tsunayoshi. My name is Giotto Vongola, the lead vocalist of Vongola band," He smiled pleasantly. Tsunayoshi shivered, but he looked at Giotto, examining the man.

"I-I go by Tsuna…" He timidly said. "Then, Tsuna. Pleasure to meet you." Giotto petted the boy's hair, a reflex he's got from his idol behavior for pleasing fans. What happened next was painful. Tsuna charged to Giotto, making the blond flew backward to the fridge. He shivered and curled himself to a ball. "P-p-p-p-please don't touch me!" He stammered, almost crying.

All the boys in the room looked bewildered. This was a very severe case of phobia. No longer had they chuckled or laughed, this was a very serious situation. "Okay, Tsuna-kun…" Kozato Enma got on his knees beside the shivering head of Sawada Game department. "Can you tell us about this place? Since… this is where we're going to live for a while."

Giotto narrowed his eyes to Enma who purposefully didn't touch the boy. "F-fine…" Tsunayoshi got up. "O-once again, my name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. I'm the head of Game department of Sawada Company." He dusted off his clothes. "This is my dining room. I usually dine here by myself or with other department heads." He awkwardly gestured them to follow him.

"This is the living room. I usually sleep or play games here. This room leads you to the veranda, which is over there," He pointed to the transparent windows that lead to the veranda. "You can also access the meeting room from here. It was the room you guys went inside with my mom." He pointed to the room they were before.

He staggered to a corridor besides the meeting room and naturally, the Vongola boys followed behind him to the corridors. "This is the guest room." He opened a beautifully carved wooden double door. Inside was another lounge like in the living room, only considerably small. There are red-colored sofas and a plasma television. A DVD player rested on top of the wooden shelf while the Sawada Platform them S-Box 360 rested under it. The room has a big aquarium plastered on the wall behind the sofa.

"U-ummm c'mon. You need to see the password, right?" The brunet's voice snapped them out from their awe. Sawada Tsunayoshi led them to the aquarium. He pressed a button and a hologram keypad appeared. He entered '272727' and the aquarium split into two, revealing a hidden glass double door. "B-beyond here would be the bedrooms. There are ten rooms in total; you can split it between yourself." He smiled awkwardly.

"Oi, you." Gokudera asked without hiding his vicious tone. "Y-yes?" Tsuna asked, wondering what he missed. "What about your room? I might need to know when I want to ask questions." Gokudera replied coolly. "U-umm, it's right in front of this room. Though, you won't be able to enter my bedroom since it also requires a password." Tsuna answered. "Kufufu~, that's a shame." Tsuna flinched at that.

"Okay. Please rest, okay? It has been a long day for you guys. See you at dinner." Tsuna bowed awkwardly and exited the room.

"Phew. That was one weird kid." Yamamoto sighed. He dragged his suitcase to the room nearest from the door. "Got that right." Gokudera agreed with him, a very rare occasion. "Well, he's right. We should rest. It's been a long day." Giotto picked the room in front of Yamamoto's and closed his door. The room was magnificent, but he was too tired to adore it. Then, the lead vocalist fell asleep.


"Dad, what are you thinking? ! You know I'm awkward with people! What are you thinking bringing my favorite band to live with me? W-w-what if they think I'm really weird and hate me? !" Tsuna frantically burst to the phone. "Hahaha! There's no way anyone would hate my adorable son!" Iemitsu laughed. "That's not the problem here! Aside from being my favorite band, they're strangers! Why are you sending strangers to live with me?" Tsuna sighed.

"Well, I'm worried about you. Their manager heard my stories about you and suggested a brilliant idea to me. At first I refused because I don't know you like them or not, but look! You do like them." Iemitsu exclaimed happily. "Ugh, Dad. If you want me to share room with someone, you could have at least assigned someone I knew well!" Tsuna complained.

"Hmm do you want me to send someone else to live there?" He asked. "No! Okay then, I'll cope. But if they interfere with my work, I will make sure to kick them." Tsuna sighed furiously and cut the connection.

He hugged his bolster tighter and sighed. "I hate humans… Games are so much better." He abruptly got up from his bed and head outside his room. He didn't change his super comfortable white pajamas and head out from his room. He peeked to the wooden door and saw his new tenants. After a while, he decided to calm himself with his games and entered the door beside the guest room. The door led him to an out-of-this-world corridor. It was dark and the walls are covered with floor-to-ceiling monitors. He snapped his fingers and the monitor was turned on, all asking him which game he wants to play.

When he reached the end of the corridor, which was a circular room with the same floor-to-ceiling monitors, he didn't expect to see the aloof guitarist of Vongola band, Hibari Kyoya. The man was sitting in the middle of the circular room while looking at the monitor. "Hi-Hibari-san…?" Tsuna asked. "This room perked my interest, herbivore." The brunet followed the guitarist's example and sat on the floor.

"Hurry up and pick a game before I bite you to death."

"E-eh? I was thinking to play Sawada Hunts, but… What about Hibari-san pick the game and we can play together?"

"Who do you think you're talking to, herbivore?"

"Aren't I talking to Hibari Kyoya-san?" Tsuna asked, smiling. Hibari's blood rose to his cheeks, making his pale skin a little bit pink around the cheek area. 'A smile… suited the herbivore better.' Hibari thought to himself. "What would you like t-to play, Hibari-san?" Tsuna asked. Kyoya didn't say anything for a while before he muttered:

"Assassin Creed…"

"Eh?" Tsuna perked. "I want to play Assassin Creed. Do you have it?" He asked. "Sure I have! I have every game that is playable in S-box!" It surprised Hibari a little. The fact that the herbivore didn't stammer was amusing. "Hey, Box, Assassin Creed: Brotherhood, Multiplayer." Tsuna spoke to the room. Instantly, the screen changed into Assassin Creed's menu. "C'mon, Hibari-san!"

Hibari smirked inwardly. It seems that he recognized something about the boy. When it is game-related, this boy will not be that useless herbivore he appears to be before. And he will smile often. Hibari kept it in mind to learn more about games.

After all, he does want the boy, and he does want the Sawada's assets.
