Warnings : Child Abuse, Language
~.~
Tsuna giggled as she ran from her brother, holding the packet of marshmallows in her hand while he chased her relentlessly
"Give them back Tsu-hime!" he called while she giggled and ducked into another room, her white haired brother running past the door, Tsuna slipping out of the room and running in another direction, she loved playing chasey with her brother, her younger sister also loved to join them, her adopted family, but more of family then she had ever known with her birth family.
Byakuran Gesso, her older brother, they claimed to be twins as they were both the same age and Tsuna was glad to have taken on his birthday (October 28th) in replacement of her own. She would much rather share with Byakuran then the child she had lived with once that had shared in her abuse as much as her mother had.
Yuni Gesso, the small girl that her brother had brought home one day, bruised and hurt the tiny cute Sky had been, Tsuna immediately taking to her and becoming a surrogate mother and sister to the child.
The Gesso family was all she had ever dreamed of and more, and it was all she would ever want. Tsuna would do anything for the famiglia, they had saved her, saved her from that ditch, from an abusive mother, an uncaring father, and a laughing sister. Tsuna had been left to die, and instead found a family she would never trade for anything.
Byakuran had a strange sense of humour, but he was the nicest brother she could ever have asked for, Yuni was small and weak, but so gentle and kind, her and Tsuna often slept together, cuddling, both having been adopted into the Gesso family at the request of Byakuran, the eccentric heir of the Gesso Mafia famiglia.
Byakuran had searched out both her and Yuni, taken them in, and been the best brother they could ever ask for, teaching them how to survive in the Mafia world, the world in general, not dismissing them or casting them aside at their first mistake
Tsuna would always be loyal to her brother, he had saved her when she was cast aside and lost, and she would always love him.
A year after he had saved her he came home from a trip with a tiny Yuni in his arms, the child was only two at the time and had a bruise up her cheek, a broken wrist and massive bruising around her throat as if someone had tried to choke her to death, Tsuna had taken to her immediately and become the girls mother and sister all at once.
"Byaku-nii!" Tsuna cursed softly in three languages, said Yuni was about to sell her out to the marshmallow addict "Tsu-hime went that way!" Tsuna whined softly before grinning brightly hearing her brother running away from her, Yuni you little angel!
Ducking from the room she was in, Tsuna popped another marshmallow in her mouth before running back towards the kitchen, she knew that he would catch her eventually, but her plan was still a go, she was making him a special marshmallow cake, and didn't want him interrupting and stealing ingredients before she was done, so she had led him on a merry chase while it cooked.
Yuni appeared in the kitchen not too long later while the sisters worked on food before grinning at one another
"Byaku-nii~" they cried, it didn't take long for the white haired male to arrive, a bright grin on his lips while he grabbed both his sisters into a hug and held them close
"So my little demons, where did you take my marsh-" seeing the cat ate the canary grins on their faces he cocked an eyebrow "What have my two little baby sisters come up with this time?" he purred while Tsuna tugged at his hand and led him into the room, her and Yuni presenting him with the marshmallow cake, said marshmallow addict diving onto it without further ado.
"You two are angels sent from heaven." Byakuran cried while devouring the cake, both sisters glancing at one another before giggling, they loved their brother, both of them had been alone before he had come and saved them, and as such, the two powerful skies of the tri-ni-sette would do anything for him,
"Tsu-hime cooks the best!" Yuni giggled while her sister hugged her tight
"Yuni-chan is just as good!"
"You two are the best sisters ever!"
~.~
Namimori, Japan, how long had it been since she was here? Years, so many years, back as part of her old life, so very long ago, a nightmare in the past
But here they were again, back in her hell, Namimori.
Byakuran tightened his hand on her own while she tossed her brother a smile
"I'm alright." she whispered while Yuni hugged her waist, rubbing her hair gently Tsuna took a deep shuddering breath "That was someone else, I'm Gesso Tsunahime, and this is my first time in Namimori." Tsuna smiled while hugging her little sister "Even if I run into...them, I have my gorgeous little sister Yuni, and my twin brother Byakuran to support me." Tsuna whispered while Byakuran kissed the side of her head
"You'll always have me Tsu-hime~" he purred while she lent into his hold and lifted her twelve year old sister into a tight hug before setting her down "Yuni-chan and I will be here for you." Byakuran snickered softly "All you need to worry about is seducing the Vongola Decimo and getting that lovely ring~" Tsuna chuckled at that, their entire reason for coming here was to get the ring that was meant to be hers. In every reality the Vongola Sky Ring, part of the tri-ni-sette was hers, and only she could sustain it properly for as long as needed, if she didn't have it, more of a burden of the Sky fell on Yuni and the pacifier that she kept on her chest would steal her life much too young.
Byakuran had seen other realities with this so called reborn Giotto existed, and he was still not enough to sustain it, Tsuna was the only one that could, so they were here for Tsuna to seduce or befriend the Vongola Decimo and steal the Sky ring that was meant to be hers.
That would complete the set, Yuni had the pacifier, it had been tied around her throat to choke her as a mere two year old, back when Byakuran had saved her. The Mare ring had been in Byakuran's possession since so very long ago. That just left the Vongola ring, a matter that they were going to rectify as soon as possible.
"Do I have to go to school as well?" Yuni asked while Tsuna giggled hugging the child
"That's up to our exalted leader here." She noted while Byakuran giggled and ruffled the child's blue black hair
"Let me eat as many marshmallows as I want and you can stay at home instead of going to school." he grinned while Tsuna burst into laughter, her brother and his damned marshmallow addiction.
~.~
The Gesso twins stood before the office, a tall platinum blond haired teen opening the door and pinning them with his blue eyes before grunting at them and opening the door.
This High School was run mostly by the students, so the student council operated almost like a miniature government. Hence when the twins arrived at the school they were ushered to the student council office rather then the teacher or principals lounge, to find a blond haired grumpy faced student council member glaring out at them
"Alaude don't glare at our new students." a sigh came from behind him while the man grunted again and opened the door further, Byakuran guiding his sister in with one hand at the small of her back, though it was clear to those around them that he was taking a protective stance
"Sorry about that." a red (pink?) haired male noted while frowning over at them, Byakuran smiling brightly
"Such a lovely welcome~" he giggled while Tsuna sighed softly at her brother "We're reporting as ordered~ Gesso Byakuran and the gorgeous Tsunahime~" Byakuran giggled while Tsuna poked his side hard
"Byaku-nii…" she grumbled "I'm sorry for my brother...he's a moron." she noted while bowing to the student council "Thank you for accepting us into your school so late in the term." she added while the president of the student council stared at her with wide blue eyes, she looked...familiar.
"Gio." a black haired young man noted nudging their president while the blond startled from his thoughts
"Ah, sorry. Welcome, Ugetsu here has your subject list and class details, will you be alright to take them to class?" the male asked while the black haired Japanese male nodded
"Of course, shall we go?" he smiled while Tsuna nodded, Byakuran smiling brightly at the male, one arm around her waist still as he guided his sister out, following the tall Japanese male that was carrying a sword on his side. Was that even allowed inside school grounds?
"I'm in the same class as Tsu-hime right~?" Byakuran purred while the male nodded
"Of course, the Gesso family requested you be left together, even though it's the practice here to separate siblings, so you've both been entered into 2-A." the man explained while Tsuna spoke to him finally
"Sorry to be rude...but what was your name again?" she asked while the male smiled brilliantly
"Asari Ugetsu, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." he smiled while she nodded to him
"Same. Asari-senpai, I'm sorry for Byaku-nii...it's just how he is." Tsuna added while Byakuran pouted at her
"Kyaaa, hime-chan's being so mean~ I'm gonna tell Yuni-chan~" Byakuran whined as his sister poked his side again, he was laying it on thick, but they had never gone to school together before, and Tsuna hadn't been in a public school since before finding her family, so Byakuran was enjoying being a drama queen.
"I'm gonna tell Yuni-chan, and she'll hide all your marshmallows~" Tsuna replied with the same over done purr, Byakuran sobbing theatrically
"Kyaa~ My sisters have gotten so mean~ Asari-senpai, save me~" the male just laughed lightly at them, he found them cheerful and fresh, a nice change to come to the school, he just hoped that things ran smoothly, after all no one knew for sure why the Gesso clan had sent their heir to Namimori.
"You two are close." Ugetsu noted while Byakuran hugged his sister to his side
"Of course, we're twins~" Tsuna couldn't help the smile then, returning his hug for a moment before pushing him away, they were close to the classroom now, no more snuggling!
"Just a warning, Gesso-san...if you're here to cause any harm to Gio, we will kill you without hesitation." the chill in his voice was palatable, the twins blinking at the black haired, and calm faced male. There was ice in once kind smile and his gentle eyes, ice that would make a lesser person shudder.
"We're not going to hurt your precious Decimo~" Byakuran giggled while Tsuna studied Ugetsu, he was clearly one of the close guardians of said Decimo...Rain? She could sense his flames were more of that persuasion, so he must be the Vongola Rain guardian.
"I assure you Asari-senpai, we're not here to cause any harm or conflict, papa merely asked that we attend here to help to deepen the tie between our families since the alliance is still so new, he thought that the heirs could get to know one another so that the next generation wouldn't know the rift of the last." Tsuna explained calmly while Ugetsu smiled at her again
"Lovely, now, here we are!" the male knocked at a sliding door before slipping it aside, smiling serenely at the teacher while handing them the transfer notices and waving the twins in
"Ah, everyone, we're going to welcome some new student this morning, transferring from Italy we have Gesso Byakuran, and Gesso Tsunahime." the teacher noted while the twins bowed at them
"We look forward to working with you." Tsuna bade gently while Byakuran petted her head
"Anyone looking at my cute little sister wrong is going to die~" he purred while Tsuna shot him a glare
"Byaku-nii!" she hissed while he giggled
"What? It's a brothers job to look out for their cute little sister~"
"That's it, I'm hiding your stash." Tsuna mumbled while Byakuran's eyes welled with tears
"Hieee." Tsuna winced at the reminder of her once so normal screech "Tsu-hime please don't hide my stash, I'll do anything~" Tsuna smacking him upside the head while glancing at the staring teacher
"Sorry sensei." Tsuna bade bowing to the startled teacher "Ignore this moron."
"Love you too~"
"He suffers from a condition called stupid that makes him never shut up." Tsuna added while Byakuran wrapped his arms around her and giggled at the teacher
"Tsu-hime, you said awesome wrong~" Tsuna sighed heavily before looking out at the staring class, some giggling, some staring at Byakuran with hero worship, some blushing and looking at Tsuna, all in all, a lot more attention then she was used to.
"O-Of course." the man stuttered before looking back at the class
"Older brother Gesso's seat is over there behind Sasagawa, raise your hand Sasagawa." he bade while the auburn haired girl raised a hand, Byakuran kissing his sister on her cheek before skipping to his seat and settling down
"Younger sister Gesso is there, behind Sawada, Sawada raise your hand." a blond girl raised her hand, glaring at Tsuna, while Tsuna bowed to the teacher and made her way to her chair...so she was sitting behind her blood related twin, the younger sister that had assisted in her abuse...and the girl looked pissed off at her for some reason.
Tsuna sighed heavily and set her bag on the hook on the side of her desk, this was going to be a long mission…
The class passed in a blur, the content was all simple, Byakuran had been her tutor since she had come to live with him, and his lessons were much more demanding and advanced. So this content, was childish in comparison, Tsuna just sat looking out the window, tapping her pencil on paper while she waited for the day to be over so she could go home, Byakuran was enjoying himself sneaking marshmallows every time the teacher wasn't looking, it was a new game for him to not get caught, oblivious to the awed looks from the females in the class.
Tsuna was the first to admit her brother was pretty, his well structured face, silvery white hair, violet eyes and ever present smile, he was a well known heart breaker, it was no mystery why the class had completely fallen in love at first sight with him.
Tsuna was however, more then a little oblivious to the looks she was receiving from the males in the class, they were all peeking over at her, long brown hair in a plait over her shoulder, large doe brown eyes and a slim yet full figure even at their tender age of seventeen...Tsuna was going to be a real heart breaker.
Byakuran had reasons to be protective, his baby sister was gorgeous, and he had seen her future self as well, both male and female, and female...she was a knockout. That touch of Italian in her blood gave her the curves of a foreigner but the same small stature of a Japanese woman, making her curves look all the more pronounced.
Break rolled around while students crowded the two new students, males around Tsuna while females flocked her brother
"What interests do you have? Italy, so you can speak Italian right?" Tsuna blinked at the males surrounding her while trying to think of what to say
"Tsu-hime~" Thank God for her brother "Yuni-chan's calling for you~" he purred while handing over a mobile, Tsuna didn't carry one, she was always with Byakuran and he had one so what was the point of carrying her own? Smiling gently at her brother she took the phone
"Yuni-chan!"
"Thought I'd call and save you come break, is Byaku-nii behaving?"
"Nope, you're going to hide his stash before we get home."
"Kyaa my sisters are so mean~" Byakuran whined from the side while Tsuna stuck her tongue out at him childishly
"Ah, Gesso-kun has another sister?" the attention shifted to Byakuran while he soaked up the attention
"Hai~" Byakuran grinned "A cute baby sister~" Byakuran giggled while Tsuna sighed heavily at him
"Yuni-chan, can you hide all of Byaku-nii's stashes?" Tsuna asked while said white haired male blinked at her before sobbing "Yes the one in the piano too, don't forget to get the ones he hid in the clock in the hall." Tsuna noted blandly while Byakuran's eyes watered
"Tsu-hime...why are you so mean to your nii-chan?!" Byakuran began to wail while Tsuna continued to ignore him and list off hiding places to Yuni before giggling and hanging up, tossing the phone to her brother
"No more marshmallows for today." she noted while the white haired male sniffled
"You used to be so cute…" the girls around them giggled at the cute interaction
"You two are close." one girl noted with a bright smile, it was Sasagawa, the girl that had been sitting in front of her brother
"Mmm." Byakuran smiled while wrapping his arms around Tsuna's shoulders and propping his chin on her head "Tsu-hime and I are twins~ Best friends~" Byakuran smiled "Aren't all siblings close?" Sasagawa smiled brightly
"Hehe, that's true. I have an older brother too, Gesso-san, we're quite close." she smiled while Tsuna smiled at the girl gently
"You can call me Tsuna, and this baka Byakuran or baka, either works. Sasagawa-san, right?" the girl brightened further
"Kyoko, call me Kyoko." the girl smiled while Tsuna smiled at her again
"Nice to meet you, Kyoko-san."
"Hi~" Byakuran smiled "Please be nice to my lovely, though grumpy baby sister~" he giggled while Tsuna poked his side hard while Byakuran giggled again
~.~
After school Tsuna and Byakuran sat out the front of the school, Byakuran yawning while Tsuna sat there with yarn and a hook in her hands while crocheting a white and purple scarf for Byakuran
"Ah, Gesso-san's….what's wrong?" Tsuna blinked over at the blond haired teen while his blue eyes blinked at them both, a frowning G by his side
"Our car is late~" Byakuran pouted while Tsuna snorted in amusement
"Not really, Yuni-chan was delaying it until she had confiscated all your marshmallow stashes." Tsuna explained "If you didn't hide them everywhere it wouldn't take so damn long to remove them all." the blond tilted his head at them
"Marshmallows?" Giotto asked while Tsuna smiled at him sweetly
"Byaku-nii here is a bit of an addict. He stashes them all over the house in case we take them away from him." the blonds cheeks flushed before he smiled shyly at her, glancing at G while his right hand man snorted in amusement, it had been the talk of the student council all afternoon how Giotto had blushed like a shy school girl at Tsuna earlier.
"My baby sister is so mean to meeeeee~" Byakuran sobbed theatrically while Tsuna rolled her eyes at him "And crocheting like an Italian grandma~" Byakuran giggled while Tsuna tossed him a glare
"You're the one that asked for a scarf you ass." Tsuna grumbled while Byakuran hugged her
"My dear little tsundere sister~" Tsuna sighed heavily while rolling her eyes again
"The limo should be here soon." Tsuna noted before looking over at the student council president "We won't be here long." she added while the blond smiled at her again
"While I have you here, thought I should mention this, though I'm sure you read the hand out, it's compulsory to join at least one club." Giotto noted while Tsuna nodded, she had heard that
"You probably don't have a crochet club?" she asked while lifting her work, the male smiling at her gently, he hadn't seen someone crochet since before his grandmother had passed, it was rather an endearing sight.
"Sadly no...Japan was never one to crochet…" Giotto chuckled while Tsuna sighed
"Kinda my only real skill." Tsuna sighed while Byakuran hugged her around her neck gently
"Tsu-hime has a lot more skills~" he chuckled tightening his hold protectively "Like being awesome."
"What club would you suggest Vongola-san?" Tsuna asked completely ignoring her brother while Giotto flushed shyly
"Giotto." he noted while Tsuna tilted her head "Call me Giotto." Tsuna tilted her head at him before smiling
"Giotto-san." she noted "Any club suggestions?" the male flushed again while he looked away from her...this girl was...ridiculously cute when she smiled, and there was just something a touch vulnerable about her that made him want to hold her, and an inch of remembrance that made him guilty for one he couldn't save.
All in all a deadly combination for the Vongola heir.
"S...Student council!" he cried while Tsuna blinked at him startled "Join the student council!" Tsuna's head tilted while G gaped at his boss
"Gio!?"
"I...I need a secretary." Giotto stuttered while Tsuna blinked at him "So-So please join the council...I have always wanted a cute...ah, a secretary." Tsuna flushed furiously when he referred to her as cute, Giotto looking away from her while G coughed lightly to hide his laugh
"Ara~" Byakuran purred while he lent in and glared at the Vongola heir "Did you just look at my Tsu-hime." Byakuran purred, danger in his voice while Giotto coughed into his hand lightly
"I just...asked her to be my secretary." he mumbled "I didn't...uh…"
"No." Tsuna noted while both males looked at her in confusion , Byakuran tilting his head, but she knew they were needing to form a connection, it was why they were here...so why was she declining? "Sorry Giotto-san, but I won't join a club without my brother." Byakuran softened as he smiled gently at her, his dear loyal baby sister
"Then Gesso-san can join too, we'll find something for him." Giotto assured while the twins glanced at one another, Tsuna looking a little confused
"Uh...Giotto-san...no offence, but isn't the student council already full with all your guardians?" Tsuna noted while Giotto smiled brightly, the younger Gesso wincing, his smile was way too bright, damn sparkles appeared behind him somehow
"Yes...but we'll find a place for him, Ugetsu told me what you said, you're here to try and strengthen the bond between our families, isn't the best way to start to spend some time together?" Giotto asked while Tsuna glanced over at Byakuran, the tall white haired male shrugging at her
"What other option is there? Cooking club? I can't cook for shit, you're the cook." he noted while Tsuna sighed heavily, he may love to eat, but he was right, he had no skills in the kitchen.
"Ah, Gesso-chan can cook?" Giotto asked while Tsuna cringed
"Tsuna, or Tsu-hime or anything, just not Gesso-chan, that's just….weird." Tsuna sighed while Giotto blushed
"T-Tsu-hime." he whispered before looking down "I'll call you Tsu-hime."
"Ara, Kikyo-chan's here~" Byakuran noted while a limo pulled up beside them, the student council pair blinking at the car while Tsuna bowed to them
"We'll see you tomorrow, we can discuss more then." Byakuran hooked a hand on her arm and tugged her into the limo while the car pulled away
"...Gio….are you actually crushing on her?" G asked while Giotto spluttered "You know you're not able to just pick anyone you want." G reminded "You're the Vongola heir."
"I know." Giotto hissed "Damnit I know G….it's nothing, I promise." G looked at Giotto in worry, it sure as shit didn't seem like nothing, Giotto had never show this sort of interest in a female before. He wasn't allowed to love as he wanted, Giotto was the heir to a Mafia famiglia, his match would be decided for him, he needed to be bound to another Sky, or a power that could birth a new Sky for the famiglia. Giotto knew his duty was to bind himself to someone that would give the family an advantage, or a step forwards, but that didn't change that he cared for her, Giotto wouldn't act on it, and he would stay silent. Didn't mean he wouldn't bring her close so he could watch her though
"I couldn't save someone once." Giotto whispered while G sighed, he had heard about that before "Her name was Tsunahime as well...I just want to...I don't know, prove this time that I'm not going to let her down again." Giotto smiled "Just add it to the list of things that annoy you about me." Giotto chuckled while G groaned, that was a very long list "Just let me have this one thing...I won't fall in love, I won't do anything silly, I just want to see someone with her name smile."
G groaned again while sending a text off to the other Guardians, his boss was going to be the death of him on of these days.
~.~
Byakuran looked half dead the next morning, tired, and so very sad, the girls all blinking over at him in confusion while the tall male slumped over his desk looking half dead
"Gesso-san...are you alright?" Kyoko asked while Tsuna glanced over at her brother, he was in serious withdrawal.
"Tsu-hime took my marshmallows." Byakuran sobbed theatrically while pouting at his sister, a pout that made almost the entire female population of the class swoon "All of them."
"Oh for they Sky's sake Byaku-nii...it's one damn day." Tsuna growled tossing a bag of his favourite soft treats at his head "Now stop the whining, or I'm giving Bluebell your new mobile number and snapchat details." The blue haired little girl certainly had an addiction to texting, and to sending a constants stream of snapchat photos to her favourite person, Byakuran.
"I love you Tsu-hime~" Byakuran purred while popping open the bag, Tsuna rolled her eyes while smiling at Kyoko. The teen looked a little confused while she blinked between them both
"Don't worry about him, Byakuran is a just a little bit addicted to Marshmallows, the Pascal brand to be precise, since he was being a bit of a cazzo yesterday Yuni-chan and I stole all his stashes as punishment." (Dick) Tsuna smiled while Byakuran tossed the soft fluffy treats into his mouth with a purr
"So gooooooood~" Kyoko giggled while she tugged someone's hand, pulling a dark haired teenager forwards to meet them both
"I wanted to introduce you two to my friend Hana." Kyoko smiled "Hana-chan is my best friend." Kyoko smiled while Tsuna nodded to her in greeting
"Nice to meet you Hana-san." Tsuna greeted while the dark haired female studied her in an appraising manner before nodding, her eyes flicking over to Byakuran a touch of disgust showing in her dark eyes
"Hello." Hana greeted with a short bow "Tsunahime-san, Monkey." Tsuna blinked before giggling softly, looks like Hana didn't like males.
"So, have you picked a club you Tsunahime-sama?" one boy asked bouncing over to her, Tsuna flinching back from him in shock while Byakuran's violet eyes glinted dangerously, someone was getting close to his Tsu-hime, and one of the few things that could get Byakuran either serious, or dangerous, was male admirers around his baby sister.
"Uh, sort of." Tsuna replied nervously, not liking how the boy was eyeing her, she really didn't enjoy males undressing her with their eyes
"You should join my art club, the members would love if you would pose for us." Tsuna's eyes widened while she blinked at the teen All kinds of nope.
Byakuran was really getting past his limit of patience, when it was this Sky or their little Sky, Byakuran had very little patience. Tsuna and Yuni had been the Sky's that restored his sanity, the Sky's that accepted and forgave him after everything he had done, that was why he would unconditionally accept, love and protect them in every world.
"I'm not comfortable with someone I don't know referring to me by my first name, so I recommend backing off before I bury my fist in your gut to see if I can tear out your intestines with my bare hands." Tsuna responded ever so sweetly while a chilling aura oozed off both her and her white haired brother. The male backed up fast, as did the other crowding males
"Tch~ Tsu-hime~ Why did you interrupt~" Byakuran pouted sweetly while his sister pinned him with her orange brown gaze
"Because you would have killed him. Deficiente, we can't be caught killing a student on our second day at school!" (Moron) Tsuna growled in Korean, they had decided it was the safest language to talk privately since the Vongola had no reason to have learned that language yet.
Byakuran pouted at his sister for taking his fun, he had wanted to tort- ahem, play with the boy that had been coming onto his little sister much too strong. The intent dripping from the teens words in his offer for Tsuna to come pose for him, pose naked had been implied heavily.
"He might turn up missing later~" Byakuran purred back in the same language while Tsuna nodded, relaxing slightly, that was fine, but killing someone at school was a bad idea if they wanted to get close to the Vongola for now.
"Wow….you can be quite impressive when you want." Hana snorted in amusement "Sending those monkeys packing with one sentence." Tsuna smiled brightly at the dark haired teenager
"Byaku-nii can be a tad over protective, so I've learnt how to send them off so that he doesn't get involved, he can be a little over the top sometimes." Tsuna giggled while her eyes shifted to the doorway, there was a frowning Alaude there, he pinned both her and Byakuran with his furious blue eyes
"Gesso, both of you, here, now!" Alaude ordered while the students all scattered from the terrifying teen, Tsuna rising from her seat and smiling to him politely, following him out while Byakuran cackled to himself popping more marshmallows into his mouth while he skipped out joyfully.
Alaude rounded on them in the hallway his eyes glinting dangerously "Why the hell are you two releasing killer intent in my school?!" he snarled angrily while Tsuna sighed softly
"We apologise Alaude-san, there was a slight misunderstanding with a male getting a little….intense in my presence, I intervened before Byaku-nii could lose his temper." Tsuna assured looking at her grinning brother "The only time he has a short temper is with me or Yuni-chan….I apologise, I made sure the boy was only startled." Tsuna assured glancing over at Byakuran who seemed not to care a whit about the conversation or how deep in the shit they were with the Vongola Cloud Guardian "This is why the family insisted we be in the same class, unfortunately while I'm the cause of his short fuse I'm also the only solution, unless you don't mind Yuni-chan, our cute little twelve year old sister here as a babysitter for him." Tsuna continued while Alaude growled lightly at her, still in a very dangerous mood.
"Keep your bastard broth-" Tsuna actually struck out then, Alaude dodging on pure instinct, losing an inch off his hair when a tense hand slid past his face and a slice appeared on his cheek as if he had been struck with a knife, though none were in her bare hand. Deadly orange eyes glittered at him from Tsuna while she stared into his eyes with something akin to rage, but even more bloody
"Never insult Byaku-nii." Tsuna hissed dangerously while Alaude stared at her, Byakuran finally intervening as he hugged his sister
"Kyaa~ Tsu-hime's gone all scary~" Byakuran giggled while Tsuna closed her eyes and took a deep breath before calming, Byakuran was right, she couldn't lose her composure here
"Alright...I think that's enough." a new voice intervened, all three of them looking over at a very serious faced Vongola Decimo, his intense blue eyes on them "Alaude….it's not like you to lose your cool." Giotto noted while the male tched and turned his face away, Giotto approaching the Gesso heirs carefully. He had heard they were powerful, but none had witnessed it first hand before and survived, there was a reason a family only in its infancy was so terrifying in the underworld.
The killing intent released earlier had been terrifying, but the lunge from Tsuna just now, there had been nothing, no killing intent at all, just power, and speed, so fast that Alaude had been startled. The ability to suppress her killing intent when it was clearly….she was just as powerful as Byakuran, if not more so.
~.~
"Grandpa….Why did you agree to let the Gesso into the school? We don't fully trust them right?" Giotto noted as he set the espresso down before the older man, Timoteo sipping at his coffee while he sighed heavily
"The most terrifying thing about any family, any power, any threat, is not knowing." Timoteo noted to his grandson "We don't know what they can do, we don't know what power they hold, that is what makes the Gesso such a threat….the heir is your age, and his sister, that gives us a chance to get to know them, get to know their power, their triggers and most of all, if they can be trusted." Timoteo explained gently while tapping the picture of the two teenage Gesso children "The rumours I've heard about those two….we need to know if those children can be saved." Timoteo whispered "Of if they truly are monsters."
~.~
"Alaude, apologise." Giotto ordered while the platinum haired man looked at him startled and more then a little incredulous at the order to apologise to the Gesso
"Gio-"
"Apologise." Giotto order in a much more forceful manner, Alaude looking over at the twins, even their densest of member would be able to read the mood here, they were in a very precarious situation with the Gesso, one that could tip either way at any moment. He would have to bite back his pride and do as commanded if they wanted to salvage this situation.
"I never intended to offend, my mouth ran away with me, I apologise for any slight or inference I made about either of you, Gesso-san." Alaude carefully said while Byakuran tightened his hold on Tsuna pressing his face into her throat while Giotto and Alaude both flushed slightly, even if they had been raised around Italians quite a lot, that was a lot more public affection then they were used to seeing in Japan.
"I love you Tsu-hime, my most precious Caelum, I'm safe, all slights are forgiven, nothing will happen now...so please, calm down my dearest little sister." Byakuran whispered softly against her ear while Tsuna let the last traces of rage leave her, Byakuran holding her until she was fully calm.
"While my fuse is short when it comes to Tsu-hime." Byakuran noted loud enough for the Vongola to hear "Tsu-hime doesn't have any fuse when it comes to me."
The message was clear, if anyone seriously threatened Byakuran in any way, Tsuna would snap, there would be no lead up, no forgiveness, and no mercy.
"I think it best if you two took the rest of the day off from classes, come to the student council." Giotto offered "We can have some tea and talk over your new duties." Giotto added while Byakuran finally let go of his sister's shoulders, though they noted the twins had their hands joined
"Tea sounds good." Byakuran noted while he tugged at her hand, Tsuna falling into step with him and following him silently to the student council office. It was normal for her to go silent after one of her episodes. Tsuna was a possessive Sky, and a powerful one, Byakuran had only made that power much more trained and deadly, the possessiveness had grown exponentially once she had come into his keeping, for the Sky that had saved her, the brother that had raised her, Tsuna was not just possessive, but she was loyal beyond anything they could ever understand. Byakuran was her reason for living, her soul, and her Cielo.

Giotto sank into the chair in his grandfathers office that evening shaking, ever since those twins had left his student council room the shaking had started. With the tension finally leaving him as they were no longer in sight the shock and fear had been able to sink in
Giotto didn't know how to explain it, but the warning his intuition had sent him had been clear, had Alaude not apologised there would have been a blood bath.
The younger twin, was terrifying.
"I hear there was an incident." Timoteo noted while Giotto shuddered, unable to stop his shaking hands even as he clasped them in his lap
"Gandfather….I think we might have made a mistake." Giotto whispered "Those two...they're terrifying….but the scariest one of all…." Giotto shuddered as his shaking hands crossed over his middle to grasp at his shoulders, those eyes had been empty, there had been a golden orange sheen, an unearthly glow, and his hyper intuition had nearly done her job for her and killed him with the intensity of the alarms in his head and soul
"I've heard some rumours about Byakuran Gesso, very few of them good, the Gesso heir is known to leave a trail in his wake with a smile on his lips." Giotto shook his head at those words
"No." Giotto whispered "The scary one is Tsunahime." Giotto shivered as he looked at his grandfather "I have never felt a reaction that intense to danger….Grandfather, Tsunahime Gesso is the scary one, not just scary...she's…" Giotto had no words that he could think of, only one rang in his head "A demon." Timoteo studied his grandson in silence for a while before letting a long sigh
"Most demons are merely angels that fell from grace, Giotto. If we don't give these children a chance, who will?"
