I do not own KHR.

Quick Note: First of all, thank you for all of the reviews, follows, and story alerts! I'm not known for writing once a day, but I just couldn't resist after reading a few reviews from: Sanshiro Kurenai, Yuzuhara-san, and EtherealTulip! I know that there were a lot of other reviews, but those three jumped out at me and inspired me to figure out how to write this chapter. It was a bit of a struggle, because I was going to have Kyoya's dad meet Nana, but... it made the story move too quickly and I wasn't pleased with the outcome. So I deleted it, and this chapter is what I came up with. Happy reading!


Chapter 4: Warning Bells


Nana cautiously peered through the peep-hole. It was just a little girl and her mother with a wagon full of cookies. Nana opened the door and smiled gently at them, "I'm sorry, but I already bought a box from someone near the store. You may want to try the neighbors, though."

"Okay! Thank you!" the little girl grinned and bounced away.

Nana nodded to the other mother, and closed the door in relief. It hadn't been anyone from Italy or the Mafia. She went back into the kitchen and finished breakfast with her son.


A few hours later, they were in the living room, and just as they were about to play robots... the doorbell rang again! Nana opened the door, thinking that it was the same little girl and her mother, only to see…

"NANA!" she was swept up into someone's arms at an alarming speed.

*What the… BAKA-MITSU!* Nana's mind was in shock and horror.

"WHERE'S MY TUNA-FISHY?!" the obnoxious man spun her around, before placing her on the ground. "OH, TUNA-FISHY!"

Immediately, Nana wanted to scream, so that Tsuna would run, but that might tip her hand too early. That, and Nono was standing behind her.

"Nana, I'd like you to meet my boss, Vongola Timoteo!"

"Vongola-san," Nana greeted calmly, completely disguising the panic going on inside her mind.

"Sawada-san," Timoteo nodded with a smile.

"Dear, you didn't tell me that you were coming home! I have nothing prepared for lunch," Nana stalled Baka-mitsu by chastising him, gently.

"Awww... I'm sure you can just make a quick trip to the store, while we watch my little Tuna-fishy!" Iemitsu grinned in an oblivious manner.

Dread hit her, and every inch of her being screamed *DANGER!* at the mere thought. It was then, that she came up with a plan, "Vongola-san, is this your first time in Namimori?"

"Why, yes, it is!" Timoteo's eyes twinkled.

(Quick Note: *Never trust a twinkly-eyed man.*)

Nana smiled as the next words came from her lips, "Then we should all go to the most honored establishment in Namimori for lunch, to celebrate your visit and my husband's return!"

"Oh? Where do you suggest, my dear Nana?" Iemitsu smiled happily.

"Takesushi!" Nana announced proudly, knowing that she may just be able to avoid Tsuna's sealing, "I'll go get Tsu-kun!"


When she entered the living room, Tsu-kun was worried, "Mama?"

"Tsu-kun, we are going out to lunch with your dad and his boss. Please, do not leave my side. We are going to Takesushi. Does that sound fun?"

"Tsu-kun has dad?" Tsu-kun blinked in confusion.

"Yes. I need you to never let yourself be alone with him. Do you understand, Tsu-kun?" Nana asked softly.

"Yes, Mama," Tsu-kun nodded and reached out to be picked up by his mother.

"IT'S MY TUNA-FISHY!" Iemitsu shrieked like an excited little girl. "Timoteo, this is my Tuna-fishy! Tsunayoshi, this is Timoteo-san!"

"Nice to meet Timoteo-san," Tsuna parroted from his Mama's protective arms.

"You can call me Jiji, Tsunayoshi-chan," the older man smiled serenely.

"Okay, Jiji," Tsu-kun smiled back, but refused to let go of his Mama, despite the pouting of the man he guessed was his *dad.*

And with that... they were off to Takesushi.
