Tsuna awoke to the sound of an alarm clock and reached over to turn it off. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. Looking around his room, he realized what had happened most definitely hadn't been a dream.
"Haaa." He sighed, recalling the previous day's events.
After the meeting with Koneko, they met three other cat eared people. Koneko had introduced them as her Consigliere and two Caporegimes. The person who was her Consigliere had seemed quite against Tsuna and co. staying with them, but the Caporegimes didn't seem to care at all.
"I'm in a strange world with strange people." Tsuna thought aloud, getting up. "Not to mention they're in the mafia. It's as if my fate is following me."
"Dame-Tsuna, it's following you because it's your fate." A familiar voice said. Tsuna nearly screamed when he saw Reborn sitting on the counter of his bathroom.
"Reborn! What are you doing in my bathroom?! Didn't Koneko-san give you your own room?!" Tsuna shrieked.
"Of course she did, but I came to wake you up." The arcobaleno replied throwing a towel at Tsuna's face. "Now hurry and wash up. Koneko has something to tell us."
By the time Tsuna took the towel off his face, Reborn was gone.
"That Reborn..." He sighed. "Even if he tells me to get ready, I already know."
"Ah, morning Tsuna!" Yamamoto greeted, as the brunette walked into the dining room.
"Good morning Yamamoto-kun." Tsuna smiled. "Everyone else too, good morning." He greeted the others as well.
"I'm happy to see you're awake." Koneko laughed, causing Tsuna to blush. Apparently, Tsuna had been the last person to wake up, and the group had been waiting for him to join them for breakfast.
"Y-yeah. Sorry for making you all wait." He apologized as he sat down in the seat adjacent to Koneko's seat.
"Oh, don't worry about that. I normally wake up around this time, so breakfast is usually later. Today's different though." The cat eared girl assured him.
"Why is today special?" Haru asked curiously.
"Well, after breakfast, I'll be taking you guys to a meeting with me." Koneko explained. "I'll need to take you to the hospital to get you all checked up for any injuries or sickness as well."
"Oh! A field trip?" Yamamoto laughed. "Sounds fun!"
"It's not a field trip." Kuro, Koneko's Consigliere muttered.
"Kuro, don't be such a party pooper." Koneko scolded her subordinate, narrowing her eyes at him.
"But these kids are just treating such an important meeting like a ga-" He attempted to continue, only to be cut off as Koneko's gaze became more serious. "Alright, I understand. My apologies." He added, almost reluctantly.
"Look at Kuro being such a stickler." Cream teased, receiving a glare from Kuro.
"Cream, you shouldn't tease Kuro." Cocoa warned. Cream and Cocoa were twins, Cream being the oldest. They were the Gatto Famiglia's Caporegimes.
"But it's so funny seeing him get all angry!" Cream laughed, obviously enjoying tormenting Kuro.
"Why you...!" Kuro pointed his gun at Cream, who in turn pointed his at Kuro.
The entire table was quiet. Suddenly, the sound of two more guns clocking caught everyone's attention. They all turned to the source of the sound.
Koneko stood up from her seat, and had two white shoguns pointed towards both males. She looked almost furious.
"Cut it out you two. If you don't I won't hesitate to shoot either of you." She demanded. The two males clicked their tongues and put their weapons back in their holsters. Koneko sighed, and sat down. The shotguns seemingly disappeared into thin air.
"You both know better than to fight- especially at the dining table. Not to mention we're in front of guests. You should be ashamed in yourselves." She scolded the two, clearly angry with them.
"My sincerest apologies." Kuro apologized, though his voice was quite monotone, so it was difficult to tell if he was being sincere or not.
"Me too I guess." Cream added, shrugging.
"That was hardly a worthy apology Cream. In any case, you shouldn't be apologizing to me. Apologize to our guests." Koneko said.
Kuro reluctantly managed to apologize, with Cream following in suit.
"I-it's fine, really. We're kinda used to it?" Tsuna assured.
"Yup! Gokudera-kun here is always blowing stuff up with his dynamite." Yamamoto nodded in agreement, causing Gokudera to glare at him.
"If that's true, then I'm glad you're not scared of them." Koneko let out a small laugh. "In any case, let's quickly finish breakfast so we can go. The train won't wait for us you know."
"Whoa! This place is so cool!" Yamamoto exclaimed, as the group exited the train station.
"Right? It's all metallic and futuristic like!" Haru agreed, amazed at how sparkly shiny everything was.
"I see you've all taken a liking to Central Ameria." Koneko smiled. "Unlike the Cat Kingdom, everything here is more advanced and technology based." She added.
"Milady..." Kuro called to Koneko. He leaned over and whispered something into her ear.
"Ah, alright. Make sure you return before we leave though." Koneko said. With that, Kuro left the group, going in a different direction than they were.
"Uh, where is Mr. Kuro going?" Haru asked curiously.
Koneko thought for a second, cocking her head to the side before smiling. "To gather some material for his hobby, I suppose." She answered.
"Hobby?" Kyoko repeated.
"Yes. Kuro has a fascination with the technology from here, so he often goes around shops to buy strange knickknacks." Koneko said, as they walked across the street.
"Oh, but is it okay for him to miss the meeting?" Haru asked worriedly.
Koneko giggled. "Don't worry about it. As long as I'm at the meeting, the others won't care. It's not unusual to have only one person attend these meetings anyways. Sometimes the Don is too busy, or the Caporegime has business to take care of. Ah, we're here."
They approached a large building that almost looked like the Big Ben, only it was taller, chrome, and circular.
"Let's go in, shall we?" Koneko led the way into the building, and everyone followed suit.
"Since there's quite a few of us, this meeting will be held in this room instead." Koneko explained, as they all sat down in their seats. "Usually we'd have a meeting in a smaller room, but there's quite a few people coming."
"Is this meeting really that important?" Ryohei asked, leaning back in his seat.
"Well, yes. It has to do with all of you guys, after all." Koneko replied. Everyone gave her a quizzical expression. She quickly took notice and began to explain what she meant.
"You see, Ameria is divided into seven different countries, or what we refer to as 'Kingdoms'. Well, only one of them, which is Central Ameria, is not refered to as a 'Kingdom', but rather 'The Heart of Ameria'. The other countries are under rule by one mafia family. For example, the Cat Kingdom is run by my famiglia. The other five official mafia families are the Circo Famiglia of the Circus Kingdom, the Fontaccio Famiglia of the Puppet Kingdom, the Angelo Famiglia of the Angel Kingdom, the Diablo Famiglia of the Demon Kingdom, and the Vampiro Famiglia of the Vampire Kingdom. There's also an unofficial famiglia here in Central Ameria, though they don't have a name." She explained.
"Unofficial?" Everyone repeated.
"Hmmm... How should I explain this... Central Ameria isn't under rule of the mafia. Rather, it is under rule by the Prime Minister. The famiglia in this country is... Well... They're part of the government, so to speak. " Koneko tried to elaborate, but couldn't exactly find the words to use.
"Does that mean the Prime Minister is the Don?" Haru asked.
"Uh... No. The Don is actually-" Koneko was cut off as the doors to the meeting room swung open. 9 men stepped into the room and took their seats.
Koneko stood up after everyone was settled and straightened her coat.
"Thank you all for coming to this meeting even though you all have such tight schedules." She began.
"So, what'd ya call this meeting for?" A male with red hair as bright as flames asked, seemingly uninterested.
"Well, as you can see, I have with me 7 guests. I found them in my garden yesterday, and it seems they are not from this world. They told me they were brought here when they opened a book, although they do not have said book in possession, and therefore they cannot return home. I am currently taking them into custody, and they will be protected by my famiglia. I hope to have everyone's cooperation. Are there any objections?" Koneko asked, after explaining Tsuna and co's situation to the other Famiglia.
"No objection from the Circo Famiglia." A man with white hair and a clown-like mask answered.
"Neither from the Angelo Famiglia." A boy with short white hair and red eyes agreed.
"No objections from the Fontaccio Family." A man with long silver hair tied into a low ponytail smiled. His eyes were covered with a black mask.
"Same goes for us." A boy with short silver hair and red eyes added, crossing his arms. Everyone assumed he was from the Vampiro Famiglia, as he had shown his fangs as he talked.
The boy who first spoke earlier scoffed. "The Diablo Famiglia could care less."
"Then the same goes for us." A man with short red hair and steel gray eyes grumbled.
"I thank you for your cooperation. Before I conclude this meeting, I'd like to ask you all to keep your eyes out for the book. It's burgundy with gold trimmings. If you find it, please report to me or anyone in the Gatto Famiglia." Koneko said, bowing. "I shall conclude the meeting for today. Thank you for coming."
With that, all the other families got up from their seats and began to exit slowly.
"Ah, Mr. Valentine, I actually have business with Dr. Love, so could we accompany you back to the hospital?" Koneko called after the man with short red hair and gray eyes. He stopped just as he was about to exit and heaved a heavy sigh. "Thank you." Koneko smiled, and she gestured for everyone to follow her.
They all sat in a lavish waiting room in a fancy looking hospital. Unlike the chrome colored exterior of the hospital, the inside looked almost like the inside of a five star hotel. Most of the furniture was made of mahogany, and the seat's fabric was soft and red velvet.
"Are you guys nervous?" Koneko asked, as she returned from the receptionist's desk.
"Not really nervous... More like intimidated." Tsuna admitted worriedly.
"You don't have to be intimidated. Dr. Love is very kind and gentle. Your checkup will be over before you know it!" The cat eared don assured, giving him a thumbs up.
As if on cue, the door behind the receptionist's desk swung open. A tall man with long, dark blue braided hair and golden eyes walked into the room. He wore a white lab coat over a fancy black suit. In addition, he wore dark black gloves over his hands.
"Koneko, are these the kids you want me to preform a checkup on?" He asked, approaching the group.
"Yes. They all seem healthy, but you can never be too sure." Koneko replied, as the man nodded in agreement.
"I'm glad we share the same values on health, Koneko." He smiled at her, then turned to Tsuna and the others. "I'm Dr. Love. I'll be preforming a thorough checkup for you all today. Like Koneko said, you all seem healthy, but there may be some internal problems, so we'll be checking just to make sure."
"O-Okay." Everyone nodded in response.
Dr. Love chuckled. "Such good kids. You're lucky they're so well behaved." He said, looking over at Koneko.
"Right? I would have put several bullets in my head if they turned out to be like Cream." Koneko laughed.
"Hey, you shouldn't joke about that." Dr. Love scolded. "Everyone only gets one life, so it's important to treat it specially." He frowned.
"Right, right, I'm sorry. Though, you and I both know that isn't the case for us." Koneko muttered quietly, though it was still loud enough for everyone else to hear.
"Ahem," Dr. Love cleared his throat, "In any case, let's get you all checked up." He exclaimed. "First up, I'll be checking on the boys. This way please." He instructed for the boys to follow him into his office.
After the boys had their checkup, it was the girls' turn. Since the only girls were Haru and Kyoko, it had gone by quickly.
"Alright, these kids all seem to be healthy both physically and mentally." Dr. Love announced, as he handed the results to Koneko, who had been waiting outside with the boys.
"I see. Thanks Dr. Love." Koneko smiled, returning the results to him after looking over them. "I'll send payment to you once I return home."
"There's no need for that." Dr. Love insisted, putting a hand on Koneko's shoulder. "It was only a checkup, so don't worry about it."
"But..." Koneko frowned. Her ears flopped downwards on her head, and her tail sunk.
"I'm telling you it's fine. Plus, they're your guests. Don't worry about it." He assured her with a smile.
Koneko let out an exasperated sigh. "Fine, since you're giving me the okay. Ah, by the way, why weren't you present at the meeting?"
"Ah, Aphrodite is sick right now, so I had to take care of him at home before coming here." Dr. Love replied, scratching the back of his head. "I kept telling him to be careful when going out, but he never listens. To make it even worse, he got injured the other day too."
"Haha, that sounds like him alright. Did he get into another gunfight after flirting with a girl again?" Koneko asked.
"You guessed it." Dr. Love shook his head. "I swear, he's a terrible Caporegime."
"Eh, Dr. Love, are you part of the mafia?" Yamamoto asked, surprised.
"You didn't tell them?" Dr. Love looked at Koneko.
"Ah, I didn't get the chance to because I was interrupted." Koneko laughed awkwardly. "Dr. Love is the Don of this country's unofficial famiglia"
"Huh?! He's the Don?!" Tsuna cried. "B-but..."
"I had a feeling you'd be shocked." Koneko giggled. "This guy looks like a big softie, right? He couldn't possibly hurt a fly."
Dr. Love blushed and crossed his arms. "Hey, I'm a doctor! My job is to save lives, not take them. It's definitely hard for me to be the Don. I'd rather be the Caporegime, but the Prime Minister appointed me the Don instead."
"Wait, then the man from earlier... He wasn't the Don?" Kyoko asked.
"Which one?" Dr. Love raised an eyebrow.
"Hmmm... The one with red hair?" Kyoko answered, trying to remember.
"Ah, that's Mr. Valentine. He's Dr. Love's Consigliere. Remember earlier, I told you that if the Don is too busy to attend the meeting, the Consigliere will attend it alone in their place?"" Koneko explained. "Dr. Love is almost always busy, so he hardly gets to attend the meetings. Mr. Valentine usually acts as the stand-in boss for their family."
"I see!" Kyoko smiled.
"Speaking of which, is Kuro not with you?" Dr. Love asked, noticing the absence of the black cat.
"Ah, he was distracted by the shops again." Koneko replied.
"I see. Well, it's good to want to learn new things." Dr. Love nodded. "Oh, it's already 1 pm. I'd better go home to make lunch for Aphrodite. Then, I'll see you all again sometime." He smiled, and walked past them.
"Bye Dr. Love!" Everyone called out after him.
"Well, it's about time we get going too. We can have lunch on the train ride home." Koneko said, turning towards the same door Dr. Love walked out of. Everyone followed her.
