A young ginger woman looks into Gokudera's apartment through binoculars. She had become interested in this particular mark and she wanted to see how he would react to her newest delivery system. When Gokudera finds his response still by the window, his face becomes smug and the girl smirks before pressing on her ear piece.

"Now Harrier."

She sees Gokudera stiffen and disbelief takes over his face. This emotion soon becomes anger and he quickly writes out a response.

"Yes Mr. Gokudera, just let the person who delivered the letter get away while you allow your anger to overtake you."

The girl mutters and presses a button on the binoculars. When nothing happened she presses it again before taking them away from her eyes and shaking them a bit. With a slight sigh she presses her earpiece again.

"Get Ospray here now. These damn things broke again."

The woman places the binoculars to her eyes again and sees Gokudera pacing a bit, a cigarette in his hand. He is obviously angry and this fact makes the girl grin with malice. This was the best part of the job to her, pushing and prodding her mark until they break. Hayato Gokudera was an exceptionally easy mark for her. His quick temper and over loyalty to his boss made him easy to push over the edge. He yelled something at the ceiling and the girl smirks.

"Don't worry kid; it'll all be over soon."

Gokudera debates whether or not to go school but comes to the conclusion that whoever this was, they were too smart not to have his apartment watched in some way. And since these people, whoever they were, are threatening Tsuna, the best place for him to be is at his bosses' side. The next problem he has to figure out was if he should tell the other guardians. This would provide more protection for Tsuna but at the same time Gokudera did not want to worry Tsuna unnecessarily.

In the end he decides to just keep this threat to himself for now and get ready for school. Gokudera's whole day was spent on edge and it was made even worse by the other guardians. Apparently they had not gotten any threatening letters and went about their lives a carefree as ever. Because of this by the time Gokudera made it home his nerves were frayed and all he wanted to do was sleep. He was so tired that he nearly misses the small white envelope taped to his window.

'Strange that you have not seen what I have seen. Have you ever once seen your boss fight for himself? He only fights when the lives of the people he cares for are on the line and as you so bluntly pointed out he always fights his hardest. There is his weakness; there is how I can defeat him. All I have to do is take one person that the Tenth cares about and threaten their life. If I do that...well then your boss will do ever I tell him to do.'

Gokudera was so tired that all he could feel was disbelief and annoyance. It takes him a moment to even process what the letter said. When he finally figures it out he sighed, lights up a cigarette and pulls out a piece of paper.

'I don't think your goal is to even touch Juudaime. I bet you're trying to give me lung cancer.

Listen, Anonimo, and listen well 'cause I'm only gonna say this once. No matter what your plan is, no matter what you try to hold against Juudaime, he WILL defeat you.

He'd only do what you say if you take someone dear to him because he CARES. That's not a weakness. In fact, it's VIRTUE. A STRENGTH. It makes him a better fighter, a better boss and a better person since he cares so much for his family and friends.

Nothing you do can ever bring him down.

And I can bet my life on that.'

Gokudera folds up the letter and places it at the window before yawning. He would have stayed up to try and catch the person who came for the letter but his mind was already turning towards his bed.

"I'll get them next time...there's bound to be a next time..." Gokudera shrugs off his shirt and collapsed onto the bed, sleep taking him almost immediately.

This night was different for the red-haired girl and she knew it. The boss wanted results and she was beginning to doubt the orders. If this Tsunayoshi Sawada and his family were bad as her boss made them out to be, she had yet to see it. Then there were her own emotions, which she had been repressing for five years, to contend with. Something about this mark, this Hayato Gokudera, unsettled her, made her wish for the life she had six years ago.

"Raven...what if we're wrong in doing this?"

The girl asks as she presses her earpiece, she was sitting on the roof top across from Gokudera's apartment. It takes a moment but a man's voice soon replies.

"Do you think we're wrong?"

"I think...I think that everything we've gathered on the Tenth Vongola Family says that they are not bad people. I think that Hayato Gokudera wouldn't follow someone who was evil."

"Your gut telling you that?"

"My observations."

"Of course, observation." The smirk was clear in his voice. "That's what it is."

"Oh shut up Raven and answer my question."

"I think that I'll follow you, no matter what you decide to do."

Raven unhooks his earpiece before the girl could reply.

"Well thanks for that, Raven. You are always so much help."

The girl says dryly as she spots the small white rectangle that was Gokudera's answer being placed in the window. The silver-haired teen that placed it there quickly retreats to his room.

"This is either a trap or he's breaking faster than I thought he would."

The girl weighs the options and shoulders her small backpack before walking slowly over to the other side of the roof. She takes a deep breath and runs forward, picking up speed as she nears the edge. As she feels her toes hit the edge of the roof she pushes off and jumps across the space between apartments, feeling once again that adrenaline rush that comes with the act of jumping. This was one of the few moments she allows herself a smile, she loves the feeling of moving through the air, but as she sees the roof nearing her lips become a thin line and she curls in to a small ball. She lands on her side and rolls slightly before coming to a rest against the air conditioning unit. She feels her side and stretches.

"No broken bones and the pain doesn't seem to be worse than a good bruise...still." She presses her earpiece. "Can you tell Blue to get an MRI and an X-Ray ready for when I get back? No I jumped roofs. Thank you."

The girl stretches again and drops over the edge of the roof, scaling her way down to Gokudera's window. The letter had been placed on the inside and the girl sighs.

"You can't make this easy for me can you?"

She pulls out a small black box and flips the switch before counting to ten, opening the window and stepping inside. She doesn't even bother to check if Gokudera is still sleeping before taking his response. As she reads through it, a small smile starts to form on her lips and she lets out a quite giggle before covering her mouth with her hand.

"What the hell?" She thinks as she pulls out a piece of paper and a pen. "I don't giggle, and especially not in the middle of a job!" She shakes her head and quickly writes out her response, leaving it in place of his letter. "This job is getting to me."

She sighs as she ducks out the window, shutting it behind her and pocketing the small black box.
