Hi again!! Haha I know I update so soon but I'm just so happy that I got so many hits!! I really appreciate the reviews, thanks for reviewing!! And for the others who read but not reviewing, please review okay?? (smilexsmile)

Here I just want to set things out. The main point I wrote in this story is about how Tsuna cope with his mafia life, and also about how he face a weird relationship with his Cloud Guardian. I assure you the story's getting interesting (aha maybe not)!!!

I mentioned about Tsuna's weird policy in chapter 1. The policy will be explained in later chapters. (So continue reading if you want to know!! Well, that is, if you're really curious about it...)

Plus, about the elders, their position in Vongola are after the Decimo and the six guardians. So, they're kinda among the highest members. The elders worked for the Ninth in the past, and continue to work for the Decimo... much to Tsuna's dislike because they think they're smarter and more experienced compared to Tsuna and his guardians. Oh well, I only made this up. So if you want to know more.., yup!! Stay tuned for later chapters!! XD XD

As for now,,

Sit back and enjoy!!


Tsuna woke up with a start. "Uh…" He mumbled sleepily, scanning the room he was in. "I'm in a hotel..?"

Hibari and Kusakabe entered the room.

"And currently, his account is – ah, you're awake, Sawada-san." Kusakabe said, approaching the confused smiling Tsuna on the bed. Hibari looked at Tsuna before making his way to the couch.

Kusakabe checked Tsuna's temperature for a possible fever. Satisfied, he said, "You've been sleeping for 12 hours now. Sawada-san, you have an extreme deprivation of sleep."

Tsuna smiled sheepishly. "Well, that's what you get if you're very busy."

"Rest more, Sawada-san. I'll bring you your lunch." Kusakabe offered, bowing to both him and Hibari before leaving the room. Tsuna turned to look at Hibari.

Hibari looked… grumpy.

'Oh yeah, we were having a fight before I collapsed. So that's why he looks so moody.' Tsuna mused.

"Hibari-san?" He started cautiously.

No response.

"Are you still angry with me?" Tsuna tried again.

Hibari cast a sharp glare at him.

'Hiee!!! Looks like he's still angry.' Tsuna thought nervously. Sighing, he glanced at the clock on the wall, showing it was already 2 p.m. He got off from his bed. "Hibari-san, I've scheduled a meeting with Hiruma Yoichi at 4 p.m. If you don't mind, come with me?" He requested, smiling at Hibari but the older guy stayed indifferent.

Tsuna stifled a chuckle, currently amused. 'God, looks like a one-sided silent war.' "Well, I need to get a shower. I stink! Wanna come with me, Hibari-san?" Tsuna joked, but he scurried to the bathroom with a speed when Hibari gave out a very 'I-will-bite-you-to-death' aura.

"Kekeke, welcome to hell, fucking mafia!" Hiruma's cheerful greeting made Tsuna and Hibari felt at home… not. Tsuna noticed the opened laptop on the desk, currently showing a certain Katekyo Hitman Reborn website. Tsuna hid a smile, he had to compliment Hiruma's bold attitude, the businessman didn't hide the fact that he has been investigating about the Vongola. "I guess you've known all about us." Tsuna remarked.

Hiruma smirked. "Not really." He replied in a mocking tone, ushering them to sit.

Tsuna took the offer and sit on a somewhat demonic looking chair. Hibari gave a ludicrous glare at Hiruma but he took the seat beside Tsuna. Tsuna grinned at the disgusted looking Hibari. Indeed, Hibari didn't seem too pleased since they entered the building. The Devil Bats Enterprise building was very… how could Tsuna describe it, it was very Vegas style. The large blink-blink Devil Bats mascots dangling on top of the red-painted building seemed to mislead people who thought the building was a gambling centre. Well, they were correct in a way. Inside the Devil Bats building, neon bulbs were hanging everywhere in the hallways decorated with red carpets and pachinko. Plus, the office owned by Hiruma Yoichi looked nothing like any normal offices; it looked more like a night club.

Tsuna was very impressed, and amused at the same time. 'He must be blackmailing the city's authority people to approve this kind of building. What an awesome guy this president is…'

"Hiruma, here's your coffee." Musashi entered with two cups of coffee. He then noticed Tsuna and Hibari. "You're the ones.. the mafia." He muttered.

"Yes, I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi. And my partner here is Hibari Kyouya. We're from the Vongola famiglia." Tsuna introduced.

Musashi nodded. "Would you like some drinks?"

"I'd love to! Black coffee, please. And strawberry milk, Hibari-san?" Tsuna turned to Hibari who grunted in reply.

Musashi was about to go when Hiruma shot him (almost shot him) with a machine gun. "What's the use of hiring a secretary when you're willing to do some worthless shitty jobs, fucking old man?"

So after a short moment of relaxing with their drinks, Tsuna went straight to business. "We're here because we heard that you're going to build a stadium plus opening a franchise in Milan? In the Vongola territory?"

"Yeah. We would like to expand the business further." Musashi replied.

Tsuna nodded. "Very well. However, we also heard that you do things through illegal acts such as blackmailing people." He continued seriously. "I don't mind as long as it does not concern the Vongola. However, this time it certainly involves Vongola. And so I strictly warn you not to mess with us, for your own good." Tsuna's voice was not threatening; instead it was simply a statement.

Hiruma smirked. "We know that fully well, fucking Vongola. Don't shitting worry, we won't be so fucking stupid enough to stir troubles with the mafia. So, we have a deal."

Tsuna raised an eyebrow. "Deal?"

"We acknowledge your power and authority in Milan. Therefore we will do our business legally there. However, we need your help in contributing some funds, billions dollars, in fact." Musashi explained.

"Kekeke, not help, fucking old man. It's cooperation." Hiruma 'corrected' him.

Musashi rolled his eyes. "Yeah. For your information, our amefuto team is among the top in the NFL league. The winning streak we have currently contributes to our popularity among the fans."

"Yeah, I've watched your games!" Tsuna exclaimed excitedly. "You guys are super awesome! The tricky play and-" He stopped abruptly when he noticed Hibari's glare.

"Continue." Hibari said coldly at Musashi who was hiding a smile.

"The team is eager to stay in Milan if you can get a place for us to start our business. More important, a place to build a stadium. Personally, we want to be recognized more widely. We believe that our presences there would certainly add more to your power, seeing that you manage to get the strongest amefuto team to stay and play in your place." Musashi finished.

"Kekeke, how's that sound? American football is one of the popular sports in the world right now. So our existence in Italy is your greatest asset. I'm fucking sure of it." Hiruma said, now grinning widely.

"But… a stadium? A huge place has to be booked, for sure." Tsuna replied with a thoughtful look. "It costs a lot, too. I don't see a reasonable motive behind this. You're asking too lot from us when we're not even sure if you could contribute to the Vongola." He continued frankly. As the head of Vongola, he has to take everything into account no matter how much he really wanted the whole amefuto team to stay and live in Italy (so that he could have at least a bit of entertainment there).

"Believe me. You wouldn't regret it." Hiruma said with his serious confident-looking grin. Musashi also smiled a little.

Tsuna contemplated for a while, then he turned to look at Hibari. They had some sort of eye-to-eye telecommunication before it suddenly became intense. Hiruma and Musashi looked at each other.

"Why not?" Tsuna demanded in his fluent Italian.

"Because I said so." Hibari replied tersely.

"And why is that?!"

"You're easily deceived, Sawada Tsunayoshi. The deal is one-sided."

"No. I think it is rational and fair." Tsuna said firmly.

Hibari looked annoyed. "You think?"

Tsuna growled in equal frustration. "Yes, I think. Somehow I believe this Hiruma Yoichi. He'sconfident, and his confidence's therebecause his decisions are always accurate."

Hibari shot a glare. "There you go. Always believing in people. If you has made your decision then why bother asking my opinion?"

Tsuna looked hurt, before he snapped. "Fine, then! And here I thought you would helpme."

Hibari looked like he wanted to say something, but he scowled and looked away.

"Are you two okay?" Musashi asked in uncertainty. Tsuna looked at him with a forceful smile.

"Yes, we're fine. And yes, we agree with the deal." He said, ignoring Hibari's scornful look. "You will give us loyalty and support, and we'll give you funds." He added.

Hiruma kekeke-ed as he handed Tsuna a piece of paper. "It's a contract. Sign it and we have the deal."

Tsuna quickly but cautiously read and reread the terms and conditions. Feeling satisfied, he signed.

The two people shook hands. "The next time we see each other, it will be in Italy." Hiruma said, grinning. Tsuna nodded.

"Then, until next meeting. Say hi to Mamori-san and the others." Tsuna said, bowing slightly before he left the room, expecting Hibari to reluctantly follow him. However even after Tsuna left, Hibari just stood there eyeing Hiruma.

"If you dare blackmail Sawada Tsunayoshi, I'll bite you to death." He warned threateningly before finally leaving.

Hiruma smirked. Musashi sighed.

"That fucking shorty has someone to protect him. How adorable." Hiruma said mockingly.

"I've never dealt with mafia before. They're somewhat like you." Musashi muttered.

NamimoriNamimoriNamimoriNamimoriNamimoriNamimori

That night, Tsuna quietly sneaked out from his room and out from the hotel. Not that Hibari will know anyway, they were in the separate rooms. However Tsuna still needed to be careful. There's only one thing on his mind, he wanted to go home. To his parents.

Tsuna took a cab to Namimori area. As soon as he arrived, he saw his house had no lights on. Well of course, it was already late at night but this was kinda weird. As he approached the front door, his eyes widened at the sight of a piece of paper pasted on the door. It read,

Dear Tsuna,

Welcome home! Unfortunately, we're not in Japan right now. Currently having a lovely holiday in Hawaii. Our second honeymoon! Ehehehe

From your beloved mama and papa

"What?!" Tsuna gasped. "Honeymoon? And what's with the 'ehehehe'???" Quickly he called his mom.

"Hello?" Nana's cheerful voice was heard.

"Mom, you're in Hawaii?" Tsuna asked straight to the point. He could hear his mother's giggle.

"Yup! It's nice here. Oh, you're at home now?"

"Yeah, in front of the house." Tsuna replied croakily. Thank God, his parents were all right. He was really afraid that anything bad had happened to his parents. He called just to make sure that they really were having their holiday in Hawaii.

"Oh, finally coming home now, aren't you? It's been years." Nana said petulantly. Tsuna only chuckled.

"I'm home." He said softly.

"Welcome home!" Nana's voice boomed happily. Tsuna could hear his father saying, 'Honey, can you go buy some juices? I want to talk to Tsuna.' Tsuna waited for a while.

"Hello, son! Nice weather there?" Iemitsu asked happily.

"Its night here, dad."

"Oh, really? Wait, its night and you're alone there?" Iemitsu sounded stern.

"Geez dad, don't worry. I'm not a kid. I can take care of myself." Tsuna replied, half annoyed but half touched.

"Listen son, there's a mafia gang lurking around at the area recently. They're a bit rough, getting hints of other mafia gangs and strike mercilessly."

"Really now?" Tsuna frowned. "Which gang could that be…"

"Papa doesn't want to take risk, so papa gets your mum away for a while, that's why we're in Hawaii. Papa also asked Kyoko and Haru not to go back to Namimori for a while. The gang might know some of the Vongola family members are living there." Tsuna could hear his father sighed.

"I'm interested in how they'll strike the Vongola, though. Too bad, because I'll get them down first, dad. So don't worry." Tsuna said assuredly.

Iemitsu laughed. "Yeah, you betcha son!"

Suddenly, Tsuna felt a pair of eyes bored on him. Immediately he looked up and saw a figure of a man hiding behind a tree nearby. He frowned. 'Who could that be?'

"Okay, dad. I'll call you later. Gotta go now, bye!" Tsuna said.

"Yeah, bye son!" Iemitsu ended the call.

Tsuna wore his gloves in silent and left the house, striding along the dark empty road. The man followed him quietly from behind.

Suddenly, two men appeared in front of Tsuna. Tsuna halted. 'Damn it, he called his friends, huh? A lowly act.' Tsuna thought scornfully.

"You shouldn't take a walk late at night, kiddo." One of the men sneered. The others smirked but Tsuna remained indifferent.

"Very well then. Mind telling me what I should do and what I shouldn't do?"

The men snickered. "You should give us your money."

"And you shouldn't fight back!" The men attacked Tsuna together. However, the 'I've-been-fighting-stronger-guys' Tsuna easily evaded the attacks and activated his glove. He punched, kicked and blasted them until they lied sprawling on the ground.

Tsuna smirked.

He crouched beside one of them. "Huhh, very weak. Who're you?" He asked but no response.

"Then I'll just have to break some of your bones, I guess?" Tsuna threatened, smiling devilishly at the men in fear.

"F..Forgive us! We're.. from the Nagata.. yakuza group." One of the men said, cowering in fear having seen Tsuna caressed his knuckles like he was ready to break some bones.

"Yakuza? I see…" Tsuna muttered, standing up. "So you guys are the ones who've been scaring the people here recently, eh?" He said, scowling at the men. "I'm going to leave you here. Have a nice sleep!" He said, waving his hand lazily as he went away.

As Tsuna stepped into his room with a wide yawn, his eyes widened as he saw Hibari was sitting on the couch, looking straight at him.

"Uh, Hibari-san…"

"Where were you?" Hibari asked coldly.

Tsuna gulped. He knew lying wasn't the right thing to do right now, as what he always did to Gokudera whenever he skipped his works. This was Hibari Kyouya in front of him, and no one dared to lie to the cold mirthless man.

"I… went home." Tsuna replied quietly. Still, Hibari has the scanning eyes on him.

"I see a bruise." He stated.

Tsuna wondered and checked his limbs before he noticed a small bruise on his elbow. 'Hawk eyes.' He mused, fidgeting under Hibari's scrutinizing cold look. "I encountered some men… from a yakuza family called the Nagata family."

A dead silence. Tsuna felt pressured by it. 'This isn't right. I'm willing to be inspected by my own guardian? Well, he's a friend but…' "Hibari-san, how come you're in my room?" He asked.

"I knew you'll sneak out." Hibari said, glaring at Tsuna as he approached the boy. Tsuna didn't dare to look at him.

"Why can't you stay still, Sawada Tsunayoshi?"

Tsuna noticed Hibari's voice sounded tired… with a hint of concern plus with irritation. All of a sudden a gush of guilt came to him, if anything happens to the Vongola Decimo, Hibari will be at blame since he was currently under Hibari's care. Tsuna shook his head, he didn't want that.

"We'll go back to Italy the first thing tomorrow morning." Hibari stated regaining his cool composure as he made to leave.

"Wait, Hibari-san."

Hibari stopped.

Tsuna looked at him bitterly. "I'm very sorry. I know you're mad at me. I'm annoying, aren't I?"

The older man glanced swiftly at him. "Yes, you are."

Tsuna flinched. "Really… Then do what you want with me. I deserve it if you want to bite me to death."

Hibari approached him, sounding furious. "You're not to order me around, Sawada Tsuna-"

"I'm not orderin-"

"I don't want to hear anything from you. You're very reckless, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Hibari stated coldly. Tsuna looked dejected as Hibari continued, "You know building a stadium costs a lot of works. I know even if you are the most superior person with authority, you still have to face the worthless herbivores who are trying to control you whatsoever." Hibari panted a bit, he rarely speaks a lot and when he does he always catch out of breath.

Tsuna looked guiltier now. Hibari looked like he wanted to say more but he restrained himself. Tsuna knew even though Hibari was being Hibari, the older guy still cared about him and showed it in the strangest way. Tsuna knew that but he was still being stubborn. He knew Hibari refused the stadium project because Tsuna would have to deal with the elders later considering it will involve a lot of funds. Tsuna really appreciated Hibari's thoughtfulness. However, he was annoyed. He was not a hapless kid anymore. He can deal his problems his way. He didn't need Hibari and the others to look after him.

"If you want to do your own way so much, do not involve me." Hibari said again, preparing to turn away but Tsuna launched his counter attack.

"Then what?! You don't even want to hear me out so I had to drag you around! But you're angry because I'm in your way-"

"You're not the one to talk." Hibari hissed, cutting Tsuna's words. "Recklessly sneaking out at nights when your parents are not even home."

Tsuna gasped in shock. "So you knew! You knew my parents are not here and you didn't tell me?!"

Hibari turned away. Tsuna trembled slightly. Hibari's getting on his nerve… "It's not my fault anyway, I'm just feeling lonely!" He said, venting out his feeling.

"You think I don't?"

As fast as a lightning Hibari grabbed Tsuna and kissed him roughly. Tsuna was so shocked that he did nothing at first. Then he tried to pull away but Hibari's force made him fell on the bed. The kiss broke away.

Tsuna's shock still haven't disappeared that he didn't say anything. So did Hibari, who gave a last quick unreadable gaze before leaving the room, leaving Tsuna in confusion and red faced.

During the fly back to Italy, Tsuna and Hibari didn't exchange words. They merely acted like strangers toward each other who incidentally shared a private jet. Tsuna's thoughts were off, and Hibari was sleeping for all Tsuna cared. Kusakabe was suspicious at the sudden atmosphere but remained quiet. Only when the jet dropped Tsuna off at the airport, Kusakabe managed a small talk with Tsuna behind Hibari.

"After this, Kyou-san and I will go to Rome to finish off our works." Kusakabe informed him while observing the boss' reaction.

"Okay…" Tsuna replied expressionless. Kusakabe stared at him.

"Sawada-san, I don't know what happened last night but Kyou-san was really worried about you when you weren't in your room. Well, I don't know if he's worried or not… but somehow he knew you'll sneak out to visit your parents. After some investigations, an informer told us that your parents are in Hawaii." Kusakabe explained desperately, trying to sort things out for his two superiors.

"Hmm…" Was Tsuna's only indifference response. Kusakabe sighed.

"Well, we're off. On behalf of Kyou-san, I thank you for your company the last three days." Kusakabe said politely, bowing at the still soulless Tsuna before hopping in the jet. The jet left the airport and Tsuna stared at the winged object until it disappeared behind the thick clouds engulfing the sky.

Suddenly he felt his face was burning up again. "What was that about.. Last night…" He muttered silently to himself. His thoughts were still wandering about the kiss, about how Hibari's soft lips capturing his. Tsuna's face reddened as he shook his head vigorously. 'Damn, and it was my first kiss too!' He thought as he slowly made his way to the Vongola's limousine waiting patiently for him at the side.


FYI, the bold Italian words are spoken in Italian, and the normal Italian words are Tsuna's thoughts.

Last but not least, please review!!!
