Chapter 3
It's been a few days since the Santos Famiglia guy left to go back to Italy. But not before he keeps bowing and shouting thanks to Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto that accompanied him till the cab took him to the airport.
Tsuna is scheduled for a flight in the next day to the Italy to do his usual 'training'. But since this time it happened right at golden week, he invite all the guardians plus Kyoko, Haru, Hana and I-Pin to go with him as vacation. Of course all of them seems excited. Especially for Kyoko, Haru and Hana. Sure they have heard of the Vongola bases in Italy but they never really get the chance to visits it themselves. And as the partner of the next Vongola Generation they deemed worthy to know of the place.
Right now Tsuna's been doing his Golden Week homework beforehand. He didn't plan to do it at all when he arrive at Italy since things would already be really busy there. Actually with his current level of knowledge he could easily score perfect in all academic lesson. But because his nature timid personality, he didn't like being exposed and being famous too much. So instead he purposely make some mistake in some part, and calculated that he would get around 70-80 points in all lessons. That includes the homework too. His teacher at school seems to think Tsuna's desperately studying all this time but after all this is his limit which they feel normal.
After an hour or so he finishes all his homework and stretching himself up. Lambo and I-Pin seems to be doing their own homework too now. And somehow he still worried with his two little siblings. So he decided to pay their room a little visits.
Inside, is like a horror for Tsuna. Lambo and I-Pin is seated in seiza style in the round table that put on the floor between their bed with their own stack of homework in front of them. Their faces shows complete fear and horror that you wouldn't thought they were doing homework, but rather watching some horror movies instead.
Tsuna turn his face to Lambo's bed and found the culprit for the scene. On top of the bed Reborn leisurely sitting crossing his legs with Leon's transformed into gun already in his hand. His face show such an innocent smile, but anyone that knows Reborn would know that is the face that you want to avoid as much as possible.
"Dame-Tsuna, how's your homework? I expect them to be completed by half an hour ago," Reborn turning his head to face Tsuna, but still not moving his gun from marking the two scared kids.
"Well, it took a bit of a time to making up some answers, and its hard when you actually knows the right answer," Tsuna says nervously at the situations while rubbing his nose. "And what is this? Are you tutoring them tonight Reborn?"
"Yeah, they need to finish them all by tonight or else they won't be coming with us to Italy."
"Tsuna-nii! Please don't leave me here!" Lambo begging with crying eyes while still doing his homework. I-Pin is a bit calmer than Lambo but Tsuna could see she sweating a lot, and that's definitely not because of the air conditioner's fault.
"Nee Reborn. Why can't you make them finish tomorrow? They still have a day full you know. It's not like we gonna flying there tomorrow afternoon," Tsuna try to negotiate with his sadistic tutor. Though he can't see how he can win this negotiation.
"No can do. I already have plan for you guys tomorrow, and it includes these guys and the girls too so they have to finish it TONIGHT."
Tsuna blinked, "What? For Kyoko-chan and the others too?"
"Of course. Do you think I will let them go to our base with no sufficient knowledge? I'm gonna hold a special lecture for them tomorrow and some agenda for you guys so just be prepared. You better tell all of them to go to Namimori Chuu by 9 AM."
"And what time do you think now is? It's 11 PM already and you just told me that now?"
"Really? I must have forgotten then. Blame the kids," says Reborn innocently.
Tsuna could only sighed desperately and can only hope Kyoya won't bite him to death for this. "Better make some phone call now then."
"Tsuna-nii! Help us!" Lambo suddenly crying for help as he saw his beloved onii-san turning his back at him.
"Sorry Lambo, I can't do anything at this point. Just….try not to die okay?" and with that he close the door and can only pray for the kids mentality on the next morning while he calls some people that definitely not gonna be happy being called at this time of the night.
The next morning Tsuna find himself in the empty school yard with Lambo and I-pin slowly following him with still their sleepy face. It seems they have only finished all of their homework around the dawn so of course they gonna be sleepy all day. Reborn sure know how to tortu-I mean tutor people like this.
The school is empty since Golden Week holiday starts today. The three arrive around 8.30 AM and since no one seems to be there already Lambo and I-pin use this as a chance to sleep and quickly leaning themselves under a comfortable tree and soon drifted off to sleep.
Tsuna could sense that Hibari is here already, but didn't bother to look for him. He will show himself eventually.
"Ohayou Jyuudaime! Sorry we're late!"
Not too long after Tsuna seated himself under other tree, Gokudera, Yamamoto and Haru arriving from the gate and greet him. They all wear casual clothes since Reborn said no physical training gonna happened today so they could take it easy for today. Usually they always bring extra clothes because their former one would either ripped, or too stinky to wear anymore after their training.
"Yo! Ohayou Tsuna!"
"Ohayou Tsuna-san! You sure are early!"
Tsuna smile at his friends and get up while they approach him, "Ohayou minna. Yeah, Reborn's kicked us out of the house early. You could see the effect on the kids. And they have just finished their homework this morning too."
"Ahahaha! I haven't even slept because of the homework!" Yamamoto cheerfully said.
"Hahi! Are you okay desu?!"
"Just leave him be stupid woman. It's the idiots fault anyway."
"Mou...Hayato. You don't have to be jealous like that desu~!" Haru said half teasingly.
"W..What?! Who said I'm jealous over the idiot?!" Gokudera's face started reddening at his girlfriend's word.
"Ahahaha...isn't it nice Gokudera?"
"What is nice?!"
"GOOD MORNING TO THE EXTREME EVERYONE!"
All face turned suddenly to the source of the sudden loud voice, and they saw the Sasagawa Ryouhei walking with extremely excited face with his little sister following quitely behind him, chatting happily with her best friend. Tsuna take a glance at the kids and surprised to see them not affected by the sun guardian's voice at all. Guess their fatigue wins it all.
After all of Reborn's attempt to make Ryouhei lower his voice down, he actually succeeded. But the Sun guardian only do that whenever they were with other people out of the famiglia. When it's just them, well, you see that he came back to how he former self act. He said he feel more comfortable like this when it's only them.
"Ohayou minna," greet Kyoko as they approach the group.
"Ohayou," add Hana.
"Ohayou Kyoko-chan, Onii-san, Hana-san. Good to see you so energetic today," greet Tsuna with his usual smiling face.
"Well of course! I'm so excited after you EXTREME phone call last night!"
"Ahahaha! Even though we don't know what we're gonna do yet, senpai?" ask Yamamoto.
"That's what makes it EXTREMELY exciting!" answer Ryouhei.
"You're just so stupid sometimes you know that," Hana shook her head watching her boyfriend.
Tsuna laugh at his guardians antic and can't help but feel happy at all this. Suddenly he felt an eerie presence and knows his last guardians has shown up too.
"Kufufufu...seems like everyone is here already, dear Chrome."
A thick purple mist suddenly appear behind Ryouhei, and from it appear the two mist guardian still with their usual black uniform.
"...Ohayou, Bossu…minna..." greet Chrome slowly with a slight bow.
"Ohayou Chrome," Tsuna smile back at him. "Now we just need to wait for Reborn to appear."
"Eh? But Hibari-san is not here," says Kyoko.
"Don't worry Kyoko-san, Kyoya is here…" says Chrome. And with that Hibari shows himself from behind a tree near them and just stand there quietly with his eyes closed and back leaning on the tree.
"I see everyone is on time."
All eyes (except the kids that still asleep) snapped to the source of the voice and they found Reborn standing not too far from them, smiling at the kids.
"Ciaossu. Let's get this started soon then. We don't have all day. Follow me."
Without looking back to see if they follow him or not, Reborn started walking towards the school building. Kyoko and Haru slowly wake the two kids up and help them walk sleepily to the school building following the others. Kyoya wait until the last person went before he silently following them from behind.
They spend the whole day listening as Reborn lecturing the girls minus Chrome about Vongola's inner situation and handful of manners lessons that the girls captured quickly. Especially Hana. She even seems really happy with this class and ask for more personal lessons after it's over. While Tsuna and his guardian cope up with some paperwork that Reborn give them. It seems a big meeting just happened a few days ago and it changes quite a lot of names on Vongola's allies and enemies list. So they have to make sure they stay up to date before they make any mistake over there.
"Ah, Jyuudaime. The Santos is already on the allied newly list!" Gokudera shows him the paper that contains about the Santos Famiglia.
Tsuna accept the paper and started reading it. So they are actually formed from actual family with blood relation and some 'adopted' family member that lost their family on young age. Tsuna looked at the file more and surprised seeing the average age of the member of the famiglia is quite similar to his guardians average age. It's like seeing other Shimon. Now he see what Enma's talking about before.
"There's no picture of them anywhere since they still just formed the alliance yesterday. But I have no doubt that we will see them as soon as we arrived at Italy tomorrow," said Tsuna as he handed the paper to Kyoya for him to examine the new ally family. As the future head of the CEDEF Tsuna's been letting Kyoya taking all the information he could get.
"Bossu...some of our allied famiglia now become our enemy...and quite lots of them too," Chrome put up a stack of paper which is list of the said families.
"Yeah, grandpa have told me about that. Seems like there's a bad moves started in the underground world. That's one of the reason we all gonna go there. To investigate the cause."
"Kufufufu…. I'll be happy to destroy those filthy mafia's mind if you allow me to Tsunayoshi-kun."
"Er...let's see about that later, okay Mukuro? You know I don't wanna kill anyone"
"Kufufu...I know that. I won't kill them. Just destroying their minds a little."
"Isn't that the same thing?"
"Of course not bossu...they will still live. Though...a bit...um...disoriented?" Chrome tilting her head trying to find the right word.
"THAT'S EXTREME CHROME-CHAN!"
"Ma...let's just see about that later okay Chrome-chan?" Tsuna is starting to lose control over her two mist guardian and he don't want the sun guardian follows their footstep.
"Ahahaha! Don't worry Tsuna. If you don't want to kill them I have learn some moves from the baby about how to cut people's arm and leg quickly but not killing them."
Tsuna could only gaping at Yamamoto's idea of 'not killing'. What the hell have Reborn been teaching to Takeshi?
"No no no no no! Forget about anything for torturing anyone by anyhow. Just...focus on this stack of paper for now okay guys?"
"Omnivore...don't act like a herbivore," Hibari giving his comment at the brunette's reaction.
"I'm not acting like a herbivore Kyoya. We haven't got any proof or clue about this so don't jump into conclusion first. Just do our job there and see where that leads us. But don't started with already a suspect in you mind!"
Hibari can't say he disagree at his remark so he stays quiet after that.
They then continue reading those reports until Reborn suddenly came and say he's done already. Tsuna turn his head at the window and just realize that it's late afternoon already.
"The girls learns quickly you know. You guys should be ashamed of that," said Reborn while smirking at the boys.
"Hai! It was so fun! I can't wait to practice it desu~!"
"I'm really enjoying it~!"
"This is something a mature lady must know so of course I learn fast."
The boys could only sweat-dropped at the girls comment and not saying anything about it. Their perspective about these things is definitely different in a whole lot degree.
"Well let's get ourselves lunch then. But, wait a sec. Where's Lambo and I-pin?" Tsuna ask when he realize the two kids not with the girls.
"They give up and went to sleep at the infirmary. We should pick them up before heading out for lunch," Kyoko answer while walking towards them. "Mou..you guys make a lot of mess here." Tsuna could only laugh at that.
"Then we'll go ahead bossu…" Chrome said suddenly.
"Eh? Are you and Mukuro not joining us for lunch?" Tsuna asked as they and the girls started to make clean of the place.
"No, not Mukuro-sama. Kyoya's already planning for us having lunch in his house, sorry…"
"What is this Skylark-kun~ I never heard about this," Mukuro started sending death glare to Hibari who stands beside Chrome.
"Who need to tell you. She is mine after all," Kyoya said coldly without looking back at the illusionist.
"Kyoya, don't talk as if Chrome was some property," Tsuna scold him politely.
"I don't," Kyoya said. "I only said she is mine, not any property or things that could be given to anyone."
"Like I said..argh...never mind. Just make sure Chrome get her nutrition and meet us tonight."
"You don't need to tell me," and without any word he silently grab Chrome's hand and dragged her out of the school. Leaving the rest of them speechless at the scene.
"Well...Hibari sure is….bold?" Yamamoto said laughing strangely.
"Argh..don't say anything you stupid baseball-freak…"
"Kufufufu...someone needs to be sent to the seventh hell I see."
"Mukuro, stop where you are," Tsuna stopped him even before he could lift his finger. "You don't wanna mess with their holiday aren't you? Chrome's gonna get really angry at you later for that."
"You think I will just let this slide Tsunayoshi-kun?"
"You must, if you still want Chrome to live in Kokuyo land and not leave you with those two idiots alone."
Mukuro got silence by that. And before he say anything a thick mist already surround him and he disappeared with the mist.
"Is he really not gonna go to their place, Tsuna-kun?" Kyoko asking worriedly.
"Don't worry, he won't," Tsuna smile confidently. "Now let's get our lunch and prepare for tonight."
That night, all of them already prepared with their luggage for the next 5 days in the airport. Actually, only the girls who bring much luggage with clothes. As for Tsuna and his guardians, they already have their own spare clothes in the base so they could just go with small bag.
With Kyoko walking beside her, Tsuna pull out her luggage and take them to a special lounge at the back of the almost empty airport. It is almost in the middle of the night. It was actually a commercial VIP lounge where normal people with money could go to, but as the receptionist recognize Tsuna from afar, she quickly call her manager and the said man arrive at the door even before Tsuna arrived.
"Good evening there Sawada-sama, we've been waiting for you," greet the 35 year old man with a big polite smile.
"Good evening to you too Kuroda-san," Tsuna smile back at black haired man with his usual cheerful smile. "I see you're still as swift as usual."
The Kuroda man laugh a bit at the comment, "Well of course. I won't let the chance to greet my favourite customer slip to anyone else, Sawada-sama. Is this girls who I think they are?"
Tsuna glance at the girls and give a nod, "Yeah, they're with us. This is Sasagawa Kyoko, Miura Haru, and Kurokawa Hana. You'll be seeing them frequent enough with us from now on."
The girls give their greetings with a bow to the man, which he answer back, "Nice to see you girls here. I'm Kuroda Maki, this place's manager. Just tell me if you need anything. Sawada-sama, I'm already informing the crew cabin of your arrival. They'll take the plane over here soon so could you wait for a while? I'll be taking this ladies luggage to the cabin too for you."
"Thanks a lot Kuroda-san, we'll do just that," says Tsuna as he let him take Kyoko's luggage from his hand.
"As I said, anything for my favourite customer."
All of them then went inside the almost empty lounge and went to the special room that's been prepared especially for them, separated from the rest of the lounge. Lambo and I-pin walking ahead of them, a bit quickly but not running, minding their manner, and arrive at the room first. Already chewing down the candies that's been prepared in the snack bar.
The rest of them either slump themselves on the couches or looking around the room and making drinks, like what the girls do. Yamamoto sit on the couch in front of the TV and turning it on, trying to find anything interesting. Gokudera and Ryouhei follow him suit. Chrome have just finished making Kyoya a glass of green tea and now taking a seat beside him in a sofa bit separated from the others. With Mukuro watching over them in a little bit far other couch with his eerie smile. Tsuna just let his guardians do whatever they want and making himself comfortable in the couch himself.
"Tsuna-kun, do you want to have some drink?" ask Kyoko from the snack bar.
Tsuna considering it for a while then said, "Just orange juice is fine Kyoko-chan. I'll be taking a nap at the plane anyway."
"Okay then," Kyoko than walking to the orange juice jar and pour it to the glass for his boyfriend.
"This place is amazing Sawada. I'm surprised there's no waiter waiting to doing your order," comment Hana as he taking a sip from her glass of tea. Gokudera, Ryouhei and Yamamoto is now too absorbed in watching some boxing match that the girls know they don't need drinks to pass their time.
"Actually, they do," Tsuna said while laughing at the memories. "But I'm too awkward with those kind of things, so I told them to take the waiter away and just let us do our own thing here. I like it this way."
"That's really Tsuna-san like desu~!" Haru said with her big smile. A glass of milk already seen in her hand.
"Well, I do agree about that," comment Hana.
"I like it this way too. It's more comfortable," Kyoko said while handing him the orange juice, which Tsuna thanked him.
"Most bosses would do the total opposite thing in this kind of place," Reborn cut in from his chair across Tsuna's. He already making himself comfortable with a glass of coffee in his lap. Not sure when he make it. "But what Dame-Tsuna do is the sign of a good boss. That's why Kuroda said Tsuna is his favourite customer. He treats them like his own family."
"Well it's nice hearing you commenting me," Tsuna said as he laugh dryly and taking a sip of the juice.
Before Reborn could make extra remark a soft knock was heard from the door, and after Tsuna let the person in, Kuroda's shows himself from behind the door. "Sawada-sama, your planes have arrived."
"Thanks Kuroda-san. Let's go then guys," he taking his last sip from the glass and standing up with Kyoko following beside him. The rest of the guys follows them from behind. Kuroda giving a small bow as the young boss and his companions pass him in the door and each give their thanked to the man with a warm smile. Except some "hn" and "kufufufu".
From the lounge there's a door connecting to the corridors that already been connected to their private jet. Tsuna leads them there and now entering the said jet. The Pilot and his 3 cre cabin, which is 1 male and 2 females greets them in the planes door and welcoming the groups in with a big smile. Not a restricted maked smile.
"Good evening Sawada-sama, it's good to have you back," greets the pilot as Tsuna walks in and taking his seat at the far end of the first room on the planes.
The rooms is only have 20 sofas which each four making a small square with a small table between them. Kyoko taking her seat beside him on the window as Tsuna take her to, and Gokudera and Haru filling their across seat. The sun making a companion with the rain on the seat on the other side of them, while the Kyoya and Chrome take a spot for them, and Mukuro take other empty square. Reborn seating with the kids, still not fully trust them enough not to make any trouble in the planes, which give the said kids shiver.
"Good evening to you too Tomaro-san," and once again he introduce the girls to them and they happily introduce themselves back. Tsuna could already see Yamamoto taking happily with the same cheerful male cre in the other side. Ramon's personality is not as cheerful as Yamamoto, but they have the same vibe, so they get along really well all this time. But Ramon still knows his position so he still act really polite to them sometimes.
"We'll be departing soon. Please make yourself comfortable Sawada-sama. And with that they left them on their seats and not long enough, the plane starting to move and they soundly already flying in the air.
Tsuna letting his sitbelt off and facing his girlfriend who just did the same. "I'll take you girls on a tour. C'mon."
With Kyoko, Haru, Gokudera, Hana, Ryouhei, and Yammoto following him Tsuna make his way to the door beside his seat which connecting to the next room. The room is like a recreational room. With a dart, big television with a sofa in front of it, a bookshelf which coverd by a thick glasses to make sure the contains book not falling apart when they departing or landing, and a snack bar where the crew cabin is preparing a snak for them right now.
"Ahahaha~ I love this place the most. It's spacious enough for me to do some sword practice whenever I'm bored!"
"And EXTREMELY enough for doing some workout too!"
"No, this place should be a recreational lounge you know?" Gokudera face palmed at the two idiots comment.
"Well as you can see you can do whatever you want here, just….don't destroy anything. Though I'm sure you girls won't," Tsuna said to the girls.
"Of course we won't," said Hana mockingly.
"Well of course. Next one is the bedroom. We have 3 small room here, each with it's own bathroom. So if you want to go get yourself a shower after the long flight you can do just that here. You girls room is the one on the left side. The boys taking the right side and we usually just taking our turn, since there's only one big bed in it. The rooms at the far end is mine, but sometimes Reborn or Hibari or Mukuro using it," said Tsuna with a dry smile. Those three is really troubling sometimes. He remembers being kicked out a couple of times before by either Hibari or Reborn because they want to get some sleep and the other room is occupied by someone already.
The girls cheering hearing this, and excitedly already making a turn on who gonna take the shower first at the morning. Well, this flight gonna be more than 12 hours so they could just take their time.
When they went back to the seating lounge, they found the kids plus Chrome already sound asleep in their chair. Hibari not moving an inch from Chrome's side while crossing his arms, must be because he felt an eerie eyes watching over her girlfriend and not gonna taking a chance of the said man nearing his now vulnerable girlfriend. Reborn's already missing from the scene, but Tuna bet he could found him in his room right now, already sound asleep.
"I think I'm gonna take a sleep myself here," Tsuna said as he take his seat back and leaning on it already. "What are you gonna do Kyoko-chan?"
"We'll go the room and change our clothes first. Hibari-san, do you want us to take Chrome to the room so she could sleep comfortably?" offer Kyoko as he approach the said Skylark.
Kyoya only give a small nod and let Kyoko wakes Chrome up softly so she could move to the said room. Sleepily she complied and following the girl. Haru then pick up the two kids and follow Kyoko with Hana in her back.
Tsuna give a tired sigh as he watch the girls away. It's really nice having the girls around, they do almost everything without being asked. He's really thanked them for that since it really help him and the others a lot.
Is the room enough for all of them sleep? Should I let them use our room? I don't think we gonna make use of it anyways tonight," said Gokudera as he point on the other side. Tsuna follow his finger and found Yamamoto and Ryouhei already sound asleep too in their own seat. Hibari and Mukuro not moving an inch from their own seat, so he gets Gokudera's point.
"I see. you could tell them that they could use the boys room. Just make sure to let the crew knows about it too and to those who already asleep. We don't want them accidently barging into the girls.
Gokudera smiles at his order," As you wish Jyuudaime!"
As Gokudera making his way to the girls room, Tsuna closing his eyes on the seat and soon drifted off to sleep.
A/N : Thanks for the review guys~ Since no one complained I guess my flow of story is still acceptable huh? I hope I'm not making the story pacing too fast or too slow. I avoided having the lessons or meeting part explained with the conversation, so you will see me doing this narrationly. The reason is that I don't want to accidently making them OOC in my choosing of word. And it will take to much space and reading time when I could just let you guys imagine their conversation by my narration ^^
I've seeing there's some of you who are silent reader, like myself. I don't mind you guys not dropping review as long as you enjoy my story~ But if you found something wrong with how I portray the character or the story please let me know okay? And if you want to share some ideas I'll hear it too ^^ just remember I don't do Yaoi nor Yuri stuff, sorry about that.
The next one gonna be their meeting with the Shimon. But maybe...just maybe...I'm not gonna making the Shimon's guardian appear accept Enma's mentioning them. One because I don't want too many character in one scene, two is because I'm not as familiar to their personality as Tsuna's guardian are, so I'm afraid I can't portray them good enough. I hope all of you don't mind. and I see no one complained about my plan for EnmaXOC? I guess that's an okay sign?
Guest : Thanks for your review~ I'm glad you love my story~! ^^
