Chapter 2

In the Fiammetta Family Japan Base

Haru was in the garden and was very worried about Hanna and Lance.

"I should have sent Shiro with them. I'm so stupid. This is my entire fault."

"Don't blame yourself, Haru."

Haru turned around and saw Frau.

"Oh. It's just you Frau. I was afraid that someone in the family would see me, the 10th Boss, in my weakest state."

"I knew you would be blaming yourself again so I looked for you. Sorry it took so long for me to find you. I should have known you'd be here. You can now cry, Haru. Cry all you want. I'll be here for you."

Haru smiled at Frau. "Thanks Frau."

After saying this, Haru ran towards Frau and hugged him while Frau hugged her back.

If anyone saw them like this, they would just think that the two are just flirting with each other but the truth that no one knows except the two of them is that Haru is really crying and is in her most vulnerable state.

After some time, Frau felt Haru stop crying. He looked down at her and saw that she fell asleep.

"Rest well, love. I hope tomorrow I will see you smile again. The smile that melted my once heart of ice. The smile that brightens the lives of everyone around you."

Frau carried Haru to her room and went to Lance and Hanna.

In the Medical Room

"So, are the twins alright?" Asked Frau as he stepped inside the room.

"Yeah. The doctor said they'll be fine tomorrow. They can go to class if they want to. They just have to rest tonight." Answered Athena.

"Good."

"Frau, did you find Haru-sama?"

"Yes Kenji. She was in the garden."

"WAS? Where is she now?" Questioned Shiro.

"In her room. She's sleeping. I think she's tired."

"Ok."

"We better leave the twins alone. We don't want to disturb their sleep. If you need anything, I'll be in my room." Frau turned around and went outside the door.

Soon Kenji, Athena and Shiro followed him outside and went to their own rooms.

In Namimori University

DETENTION

"Okay boys detention's over, dismissed." The professor went out of the classroom and the students also went outside.

"Boss! I'll be going home now. See you tomorrow." Gokudera then ran after this.

"I guess I'll be going home too. Take care." Tsuna bid his friends farewell and started walking home.

In the Sawada Residence

"Mom! I'm home." Shouted Tsuna.

"Welcome home, Tsu-kun. You're unusually late today."

"We were in detention. Sorry mom."

Nana noticed that her son was not in the mood to talk so she didn't push the topic further. "Okay. You'll be staying in your room?"

"Yes, mom. Call me when it's dinner time."

"Okay, Tsu-kun."

Tsuna went to his room and lay down on his bed.

'I never expected this to happen. I thought when we see her again she would be a successful fashion designer. Although I already know that she would be mad at us and we'll have to apologize to her, this is not in the options of what she would have become. She's in the mafia! And the worst part is she is the boss. What should I do? What have I done?'

Tsuna closed his eyes in frustration.

"Dame-Tsuna."

Tsuna instantly opened his eyes and looked at Reborn.

"Reborn."

"So I'm guessing you already know."

"Know what? What are you talking about Reborn?"

"Haru."

Tsuna's eyes flashed red in anger. "You've known this long before we did?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? If you did-"

"If I did what? What would you do? Go to France and stop her?"

Tsuna was quiet for a while and said, "Uh. Yeah."

"You were the one who pushed her towards this. I warned you before about your plan to push her away."

Tsuna was guilty. "I didn't know this would happen. I never expected her to have Mafia family origin."

Reborn looked at Tsuna, "You too never expected that you had Mafia family origin."

"Fine. I give up. This is ALL my fault. Lesson learned. Expect the unexpected and think before I act."

"So what are you going to do Dame-Tsuna?"

"I don't know. We want to apologize to her but she just brushed us off. She didn't want us anywhere near her. Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"Do you know anything about the Fiammetta Family?"

"Of course. They are quite famous in France."

"Tell me something about them."

"Why do you want to know?"

"I just want to know things about them. They might be our enemy and as much as possible I don't want to fight them."

"I can assure you that they are not our enemy but they are also not our ally. They are just another family that we don't have any connections with."

"Good. Tell me more."

"That is all I can tell you. If you want more information find it yourself."

Before Tsuna could react to what Reborn said Reborn already fell asleep.

"Tsk. Curse you Reborn."

Tsuna picked up his phone and called Dino.

"Hello Dino. If you're not busy can you come to my house tomorrow? I just have some things to ask you."

"Hmm. I guess I don't have appointments for tomorrow. I'll come. See you tomorrow, Tsuna."

"Okay. Thank you Dino."

"No problem."

Tsuna ended the phone call and laid back down on his bed.

'I want to know them. I have to.'

"Tsu-kun! Dinner time!"

"Alright! I'm coming!" Tsuna stood up and was about to wake up Reborn when he saw that Reborn wasn't there.

"Oh well. Maybe he went down already."

Tsuna went downstairs and saw that he was the only one that they are waiting for.

"Sorry. Let's eat."

'I swear Haru. I'll get you back.'

Reborn stared at his student and smiled.

The Next Day

Tsuna entered the room and saw Gokudera and the others.

"Good morning, Juudaime!"

"Good morning. Gokudera."

Tsuna greeted the others too and sat down on his chair.

"Did Haru and her friends already arrive?" Asked Tsuna.

"Not yet. I wonder if they are even going to come today." Answered Kyoko.

A couple of minutes before their first class the door opened.

"They're here, Juudaime."

Tsuna turned and looked at the door.

Haru and Frau entered first followed by the injured twins and then Athena, Kenji and Shiro.

Tsuna listened to what they are talking about.

"Ouch. Kenji! Stop that. It still hurts." Complained Lance.

"We told you. You should have stayed at home and rest." Frau frowned at the twins.

"Stop fighting. Kenji, stop poking Lance's arm. And the two of you, Lance and Hanna, after class go straight home and rest."

"Okay." Answered the trio.

Shiro just sat quietly and Athena was laughing at her boyfriend, Kenji.

"Now you made Ru-hime mad." Teased Frau.

"And you!" Haru pointed at Frau, "Don't call me 'Ru-hime.' I'll kill you."

Frau just laughed and nodded then kissed Haru in the cheeks.

Haru looked down and blushed.

Tsuna frowned and turned away from them.

'This semester is going to be hell for me if they keep doing that. Ugh! I hate this. I hope this day would end already!'

As Tsuna wished the day went by so fast and it was already time to go home.

"Tsuna! Do you want to hang out at our place?" Offered Yamamoto.

"No thanks. I have to go home early."

"Are you sure? Gokudera and the others are also coming."

"Maybe next time. I really have to go. Bye!"

Tsuna ran to his house.

"I'm home!"

"Welcome home, Tsu-kun. You have a visitor. I know you'll be happy to see him. He's in your room."

"Thanks mom!"

Tsuna took off his shoes and went to his room.

In Tsuna's Room

"Hi Tsuna!"

"Hello Dino! Where is Reborn?"

Tsuna looked around and didn't find Reborn.

"He went out with Bianchi."

"Oh. Those two… Do you think Reborn likes Bianchi?"

"Hmm. I don't know. Maybe. So what do you want to ask me?"

"Do you know the Fiammetta Family?"

"Yeah. What about them?"

"Haru is their 10th boss. Did you know?"

"What? Haru? The brunette who studied in Midori before?"

Tsuna nodded.

"I didn't know. I'm surprised about that."

"Us too. But it appears that Reborn already knew about that. Can you tell me something about the Fiammetta Family?"

"I just know little information about them. Their family is quite good with hiding information. As you know, their name is Fiammetta Family. Their current boss is Calvin. I don't know his full name. I haven't met him yet. They are the strongest mafia family in France. Unlike in Vongola, Fiammetta's boss has eleven guardians. They hold the powers of the Zodiac. The Fiammetta's current boss holds the power of Leo, the Lion. Other than that, I don't know anything else."

"Thank you, Dino."

"Wait… I remember hearing a rumor about the Fiammetta Family. According to the rumor the Fiammetta Family and a mafia family called, Tenrou, are not in good terms and this might end up in an all-out war. I'm not sure if that is true but I have the feeling that it is."

"Tenrou… That name, it sounds familiar."

"Of course, it's familiar Dame-Tsuna. We are currently on war with that family."

"Reborn! So Tenrou is also our enemy?"

"Of course."

"Now that you mentioned that, how is the war going? Are we winning?"

"Unfortunately, no. We are losing Tsuna. The Ninth is badly injured."

"What? We need to help them!" Shouted Tsuna.

"Tsuna's right, Reborn. We should help. Romario! Send some reinforcements to help Vongola in Italy."

"Dino. I think you should return to Italy and help there. Tsuna and his guardians are enough to protect this Japan Base. Dame-Tsuna, you have a meeting tomorrow with a mafia family together with your guardians. We need their help."

"Alright. I'll be going now. Bye Tsuna. Bye Reborn." Dino left with Romario.

"I'll call Yamamoto and the others to tell them. But what about Hibari and Mukuro?"

"I told them already. They said they are coming."

"Okay."

After a few calls…

"Would Dino's family be enough help there?"

"Of course not. Some of the Varia together with Xanxus is going there to help. And the others like Belphegor and Fran are going here to Japan to help us just in case they attack the Japan base."

"Is that why you weren't around a while ago?"

"Yeah. And your father said to protect your mother."

"I would do that even if he didn't tell me to."

"Good. Now, you should continue with your training. I trust that you would continue it even though I'm not around. I would be training Ryohei and Yamamoto tonight."

"Okay. So Reborn, what family will we be meeting tomorrow?"

"Be patient. You'll know tomorrow. Now go and train. I'll be on my way now."

Reborn went out of the house and Tsuna followed him out.

'Who are they?'

The Next Day…

Tsuna and his guardians together with Reborn are in front of a building.

"Here we are." Announced Reborn.

"Are you kidding me? This is the Faux Company. This is most famous company of the different top singers, bands, models, actors and actresses. Are you telling me that the owner of this company is a mafia family?" Yelled Tsuna.

"Yes. Let's go inside."

Reborn walked and inside followed by Tsuna and his guardians.

When they arrived in the conference room they saw Hibari and Mukuro sitting there.

'Thank goodness they aren't fighting.' Thought Tsuna.

They all sat down and waited.

Soon a handsome man came inside.

"Good morning to all of you. Sorry for the wait but it seems that our boss and some of the other guardians still haven't arrived yet."

"It's alright Loki." Answered Reborn.

"Did you tell them already?"

"No. You?"

"Not yet. Our boss would definitely disagree if I told them."

"Okay. We'll just wait here."

*Knock Knock*

"It seems that they have arrived."

Loki stood up and opened the door.

"You're late."

"Sorry Loki. Beel woke up late."

"As expected. Come in. They are already here."

Loki stepped aside and then the people who entered shocked the living daylights out of Tsuna and his guardians.

"Good morn- What the hell?" Shouted the first person who entered the room.
