Summary: Alaude has never fancied himself to buy a Pet, much less own one. Yet, here he was in front of a shop about to buy one. And that was all because his cousin thought it would be a great idea for him to own one. If only Alaude knew what trouble was ahead of him with buying one.

Chapter 3 Family Get-Together

~ Time Skip of two weeks...

Alaude was staring with hatred and annoyance at Giotto who was smiling innocently back at him. Innocently his ass that damn bastard had called his father who had forced him to show up on this family get-together. And if that was not bad enough, Tsuna was dragged into this too. He twitched when he saw Daemon smirking at him. Why was he getting the feeling as if Daemon had a hand in this? It would not surprise him at all if she did. It would be like her and he hated it already. Not only was he called here but the idiot that he had to call an uncle was here too. Said uncle was currently making out of himself an idiot while trying to impress their family its newest member. Said member was hiding now behind Alaude and staring with wide chocolate eyes at the blond.

He could feel her trembling behind him and let out a silent sigh. It seemed like he got to hit something today, well someone that is. Giotto was still smiling that innocent smile of his while Daemon was downright laughing at the discomfort that Alaude was feeling, at least she hoped he was. It was so damn hard to read the blond most of the time. It was a wonder that his parents understood him at all. Dino was rubbing the back of his head and laughed sheepishly when he saw the glare that was now on Alaude's face. He could already hear the countdown, Alaude was going to hurt someone and he knew already who that someone was. Haru, Lambo and I-Pin were staring with wide eyes at the girl that dared to hide behind Alaude the most feared person and most emotionless one in whole Namimori. How could the girl hide behind that monster?

Nana on the other hand was not worried at all for her husband. She was too focused in cooing over the cute and adorable picture that Alaude made with that cute little Fox-Girl. She didn't know that her nephew had gotten himself a Pet! It was such a surprise for her. Alaude's parents on the other hand had been slightly surprised to see that their son had gotten himself a Pet. Because those two really did know that their son had hated it when their own Pet had babysat him, yet here he was with one of his own. And a female one no less, it was an even bigger surprise for them. Just what had gotten into their son for him to get himself a Pet and a female one at that? Of course, they had heard about this little promise that Dino had gotten out of him that he would buy a Pet. But they had never thought that Dino would remember it and that Alaude would actually go through with it.

It was very surprising indeed when Alaude had then shown up with his Pet.

"Aw, she is so cute," Nana gushed out, suddenly having appeared behind Alaude and startled Tsuna who clung to Alaude. "What's her name?"

"Tsuna, her name is Tsuna," Alaude said in a kind of annoyed voice.

He wasn't even five minutes here and he was already annoyed to the point that he was ready to kill someone, or torture them. He wasn't really sure if he was ready to kill yet, but torturing someone did sound appealing and yes, he was that sadistic. Tsuna on the other hand stared at the woman with the kind face and the soft smile on her lips. She looked friendly to her. She smiled shyly back at the woman who immediately squealed happily which made her ears flatten to her skull. The squeal had hurt her ears.

"Nana," Alaude seem to say warningly.

"Ah! Gomen!" Nana apologized when she saw Tsuna holding her ears.

"Ah, Nana-chan!" Luce said with a smile while walking over to her. "Maybe you should take it a bit slower?"

"Ah~, but she is so cute, Luce-chan!" Nana nearly squealed but remembered about Tsuna's sensitive ears.

"Hai, I agree with you on that one! Who knew my son could choose such a cute girl, eh?" Luce said with a mischievous smile.

Alaude twitched when he heard his mother's words and send a glare in her direction. Nana only giggled as answer to Luce's words while Tsuna was looking on in confusion. This was really strange for her. But she had to say it, the woman with the black hair was really kind looking and the smile on her face let her ease up a bit. The woman, Luce, was wearing a white dress with yellow roses stitched onto it and had her hair in a low ponytail. Well, at the back it was long while at the front it was short and her bangs were hiding her forehead. It looked really good on her, that much Tsuna had to say.

She let out a giggle when she heard the little fight between Lambo and I-Pin who she had been introduced to. But that was before Nana nearly killed her hearing with her loud squeals; thank Kami-sama that she could still hear with her ears.

"Lambo-chan, would you stop stuffing so much cake into you!" I-Pin chided said person.

"Yare, Yare..."

"Please, Lambo-chan, other people might want to eat some too!"

"No, it is all mine!" you could hear the pout in Lambo's voice already.

I-Pin let out a frustrated sigh when Lambo didn't stop her stuffing. It was just so hard to deal with that girl sometimes. Dino sweat dropped while he tried to help I-Pin and stop Lambo from eating all the cake which by the way they were not succeeding in any way, at all. Everything was going out of control for the family when Daemon suddenly began to throw pasta at Alaude who could dodge it in time. After that it became an all out food war and the family get-together was not even twenty minutes into it and there was already a food fight. Alaude shook his head at his family while sitting somewhere safe where he would not be hit by any food and having dragged Tsuna with him. And that was one of the reasons as to why he hated to go to those get-togethers. If only his father hadn't dragged him there.

Said father was smiling at him while drinking some tea and making his way over to him, seemingly not being hit by any food that was hauled through the garden. He glared harder at his father whose smile just widened when he saw the glare; his son was so amusing sometimes. Tsuna blinked and one of her ears twitched while her tail swished gently behind her, she was confused at what had just happened. One moment everything was peaceful and small talk was made and the next moment food was thrown around. She frowned at this, not understanding at all why that had happened.

"So, that is the Pet I have heard already so much about from Dino, hm?"

"Hn."

"My, my, how talkative you are today, Alaude~!" there was again that blasted smile that seemed to be tattooed to his father's face.

Tsuna blinked at the copy of her Owner who was now with them. He looked exactly like Alaude just that he had hair as black as the night and that it was braided and hung over his left shoulder. Of course, then there was the fact that his eyes were warmer and sparkled with warms, a difference between the cold eyes of Alaude. And then there was that gentle smile on his lips which let him look softer and let him seem nicer. Tsuna tilted her head and flicked one of her ears which let a gentle ringing tone be heard. The clothes that this Alaude look-alike wore were different too. It was more in a Chinese style than to what Alaude wore.

"What do you want?" Alaude asked while glancing at Tsuna who was still staring at them curiously.

"Just talking with my son," the smile seemed to widen which let Alaude twitch. "And of course, I do want to know what the name of your Pet is."

"Hn, you know her name already, I already said it or did you not listen?" Alaude seemed to ask in an annoyed tone.

"Ah, but Alaude, it would only be polite of you to introduce us formally~!"

Alaude scoffed before he turned his head away from his smiling father and stared at the chaos that was now happening in front of him. Not even five minutes into their little food war and the whole garden was already a mess. In trees was pasta, fish and was that a carrot? Shaking his head he continued to look around and saw the rose bushes were covered in soup. Alaude didn't even know where the one bush began and the food started when he looked at them. It was such a mess. Tsuna on the other hand was staring at Alaude again and tilted her head. `Eh, what is going on here?´ Tsuna was very much lost and pretty confused as to what was going on now and you could clearly see it on her face.

Sighing, Alaude's father caught Tsuna attention and smiled at her, "Hello there, Tsuna, my name is Fon, I am Alaude's father."

Tsuna stared at first at the man and then smiled shyly at him, in a meek voice she said, "Hello, a- a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine," Fon said with a smile which suddenly seemed very wicked to Alaude. "Say, my son, he is behaving and doing good, right?"

Alaude twitched at those words and glared at his father. Why was he asking his Tsuna such questions and why was he so damn close to her? That was something no one but him was allowed to do! Wait a moment, his? Since when was Tsuna his? Of course, in a way the Fox-Girl was his but that was because he had bought her from that Pet Shop. But she was still her own person, erhm Pet, and thus could decided whom she belonged to. Yet, something in him didn't want that Tsuna choose anyone other than him. But those were ridiculous thoughts, why should he have such? It was not that he needed someone like Tsuna in his life or liked her.

It was just such a short time for something like this to happen. But, as they say, love knows no bounds; this was just the fact that happened with him. As short as the time with the little Fox-Girl was for him, love had already started to bloom in his heart. It may take time for him to fully notice it, but they had plenty of this on their hands anyway.

Fon on the other hand had notice how his son's stare suddenly morphed into a full out blown glare that could kill if it was possible. Secretly, he smiled to himself while getting the shy, little Fox-Girl to talk with him. He had to admit that the girl was doing well if you counted into the fact that it had been just two weeks since she left the shop. He could remember their own Pet who had taken months till he was used to be outside of the Pet Shop and under humans and being free. It was such a disaster and chaos that follow him till he was used to it all.

Tsuna was actually having fun talking with this Fon who said that he was her Owner's father. He was nice that much she had to admit and his mother was nice too, maybe even nicer than her mate. It surprised Tsuna greatly how Alaude was so antisocial and emotionless when he had such a great pair of parents to call his own. But perhaps, that was just the way he was? She wasn't so sure and she really did not want to know. If her Owner wanted her to know then he would tell her, right?

"So, Tsuna-chan, ever wondered what Alaude was like as a kid...?" Luce said as she appeared next to her husband with a sugar sweet smile.

"U- un," Tsuna said with a nod and smile.

"Well, then dear, listen close!"

Alaude twitched when he heard his mother's cheerful tone. This was not going to end well in any way, he was very much sure of that.

~ Meanwhile with the others...

Giotto had ducked under a table with Daemon behind him and ready to throw a cake at his father. Said father was in the middle of the garden and laughing when he had hit Dine square in the face who was glaring now, ready to throw some mashed potatoes at him. Yet, as he was about to throw, he tripped over his own feet and the potatoes were sent flying behind which hit Lambo. I-Pin saw this and tried to stifle a laugh which she did not succeed in and had to pay the price when Lambo threw a steak at her. I-Pin could duck the oncoming steak in the last minute which hit the tree behind her. Lambo may be one of her Owners but that did not mean that she would let this slide so easily. With a glare thrown at Lambo, I-Pin took a handful of ice-cream and hauled it in Lambo's direction who could only stare with wide eyes at the flying ice-cream.

But before Lambo could be hit, Iemitsu was suddenly in the way and hit instead. That was all thanks to Daemon hauling biscuit after biscuit at him and always hitting him. Giotto was howling with laughter when his father was hit while Nana was just watching all of his happening with a smile on her face. It was always getting more and funnier with each family get-together they had. But, this time, it was very different thanks to a certain little Fox-Girl who was now watching this all happening in interest. `Ah! She is just so cute~!´ Nana thought with a giggle.

"Do you yield?"

"Ha-hi! Never!" Haru yelled out after Daemon had targeted her and was ready to throw carrots at her.

"Fine, have it your way then!"

But, before Daemon could even think of throwing the carrots something wet and sticky hit her back which let her whirl around and come face to face with Dino. Dino stared with wide eyes at the person who had it with his ice-cream and potato mix and could only gulp. He was going to die. Giotto saw the predicament his brother was in, went to his aid and began to drag Daemon away.

"Come on, honey! L- let's get you cleaned up, yea?"

"I kill him! Let go of me!" a struggling Daemon snarled out and glared at Dino. "That bastard is going down!"

"Gomen!" Dino yelled out with a quivering voice.

"Oh yea, idiot-horse, you will be sorry when I am finished with you!" Daemon yelled at him.

"I already said I am sorry!" Dino cried out but it was lost on Daemon.

"I give y-," but Daemon had then vanished behind a door with Giotto when he dragged her inside.

Haru was staring at her husband who let himself fall on his butt and let out a shaky breath. It did not take long before Lambo busted out into laughter which did not take that long and everyone then laughed. Nana was shaking her head fondly at the picture in front of her and got ready to get the cleaning supplies which were already standing ready to be of use for them. It was already a little ritual for them all when it came to their get-togethers. Each and every time they would always get something dirty, be it with food or anything other than food that was hard to clean up.

"Ah, you guys look like you could use some help with cleaning, eh?" Luce said with a smile.

"Ah, that would be nice, Oba-chan!" Dino said with a smile while rubbing the back of his head.

"Hey, why is that you guys are clean?" Lambo suddenly said when she saw four certain person were indeed very clean.

"Because," Alaude said with a cold voice, "we weren't that stupid to 'fight' with you."

"Hey, we are not stupid!" Dino whined out after he had successfully stood up.

Instead of answering, Alaude just looked in the direction of Lambo who had just tripped over an empty bucket with said bucket landing on her head. Haru was immediately by her daughter's side and helping her to get rid of the bucket and to stand up while I-Pin made sure that nothing was near Lambo, period. They did not want an accident like last time happening which involved a bucket, a sponge and a spoon which resulted in a destroyed wall in the end.

"Ah, stop it with the chit-chat! We need clean here if we want to have food at all to eat for today!" Haru suddenly said, having freed Lambo from the bucket.

"Hai," went a chorus around while Alaude stayed silent and Tsuna just watched on.

Tsuna had to admit it. Alaude's family was fun to be around with, if one overlooked their little flaws and the craziness that seemed to be in each and every one of them. She blinked a few times when Alaude took suddenly a hold of her hand dragged her away from the mess of the garden and lead her into another part of the garden, a clean part, and had to stifle a giggle when she heard Dino yell after them.

"H- Hey, Alaude, you can't just leave like that!"

"Yes, you are supposed to help here!" Haru added with a huff.

"I never said I would help," Alaude said in a monotone voice, trying to keep his cool. "In fact, only my parents said that they would help, I never said anything whatsoever to help you."

No one could say anything against this logic and could only stare how Alaude walked on with his Fox-Girl in tow. Yet, what else surprised them was that Alaude had talked with them more than two words or just a grunting noise. It was really surprising for them if you take in the fact that Alaude was really not a talker rather a man of actions which spoke volume for him. If you read it right with him always beating his opponents to near death or making you feel like some coward with just a glance. Lambo and Haru had wide eyes after they had heard Alaude talk this much while Iemitsu and Dino were gaping like fish out of water. Nana on the other hand was giggling and cooing at the picture that Alaude made with Tsuna and couldn't help but have this knowing glint in her eyes when she watched those two together.

Luce and Fon, even though they knew their son and how he was all the time, could not help but be quite shocked too about the fact that Alaude was talking so much. But, they had to admit it, it was a nice change to see that their son could indeed be social and talk like any normal person. They didn't really know how it came to be that Alaude was talking so much right now but, if they had to guess, they would say it was because of a certain Fox-Girl that had been dragged away from them.

"That is so unfair!" Lambo whined out suddenly, bringing them all back to reality.

"What is unfair?" Daemon asked, having calmed down and came back to help.

"I would like to know that too," a smug Giotto said.

Of course, he was smug he had after all managed to get Daemon to calm down and make her not go and kill his brother. Haru was about to answer her, yet she was beaten to it by a giddy Nana who had reappeared with the cleaning supplies and had a large smile on her face. How none of them had notice that she had been back since Alaude and Tsuna left was beyond her. But it did give her the chance to study the 'new' Alaude.

"Alaude-kun just went out on a date with Tsuna-chan!" Giotto's mother said happily which let many people choke or fall over.

"Wh- What?" Giotto stammered out.

"N- No way, this is Alaude we are talking here about!" Dino said with wide eyes.

"That bastard would never date anyone!" Daemon ended with a scoff.

Luce on the other hand was staring at Nana and smiled at her, like her friend she, too, had this knowing glint in her eyes. Said knowing glint set Fon off a bit which let him edge away from her. Was it just him, or was his wife suddenly sparkling and had flowers surrounding her? `Nah, that can't be... something like this is impossible to happen, right?´ Fon questioned himself only to pale suddenly, `S- She can't be thinking about g- grandchildren, r- right?´

"Ah, Daemon-chan, with love everything is possible~!" Luce suddenly said in a singing voice which began to scare everyone safe for Nana.

"Oh, does it mean what I think it means?" Nana asked with a giddy expression.

Smiling Luce nodded which lead to Nana letting out a squeal and everyone in the garden suddenly began to fear as to what those two mothers could be talking about. Yet, Fon was too busy about the thought of his wife planning to have grandchildren. Sure, he would have loved to have some, but this soon? Stealing a glance at his wife, he knew immediately that Luce would really love to have grandchildren now that she saw her chance to have some. Luce had already thought that she would never have any with the way Alaude behaved. But now that Tsuna had appeared in the picture that might change.

Iemitsu on the other hand was on the same wave as his wife and knew what all the squealing and smiles was about. So, he immediately rounded up on his boys with a glare. Said boys gulped and thought that something bad was about to happen only to be left speechless when they heard their father's words.

"So, when are we going to have grandkids?"

This little question let Haru and Daemon choked with the first blushing up a storm while the latter glared at her father-in-law. If looks could kill, Iemitsu would be dead by now. Giotto and Dino could only stare at their father and stuttered out their answer. Or what could be an answer, Iemitsu was not sure if it really was an answer.

"Wha... We.. uerhm..."

"Y- You s- see... we.. hern!"

But the two were rescued by a loud squeal from their aunt and mother who were jumping up and down giddily with their hands clasped together.

"Oh! They would be so cute if they really did have children!" Nana giggled out.

"I know, Nana-chan, with little ears and tail like their mother!" Luce said in a happy voice.

"Oh and with Alaude's looks!"

"And with Tsuna's personality!"

"KAWAII!" they squealed out.

All eyes were suddenly on Luce and Nana who seemed to be sparkling with flowers around them and edged away from them. Maybe, they could do the cleaning later? Of course, they could do it later! Their mother and aunt were scaring them right now and for their sake of sanity they should leave and maybe warn Alaude and his Pet?

...

Nah, it would be too much fun to watch how Nana and Luce played match-maker! They were sure that hilarity would ensue do to them. It was something they would not let pass up. It was getting quite dull around anyways and with Alaude and his Pet it was bound to get interesting from now on. Fon let out a sigh and shook his head at the thought of his giddy wife. This could only end in chaos, he was sure of it. He sweat dropped when he saw his brother join their wives in planning to get Alaude together with his Pet.

Of course, there were no problems with Pets and their Owners dating or having a child together. Yet, it was something that did not happen often and if it did happen. Well, let's just say that most Pets tend to get more protective of their young than normally. Then there was the courting matter which was even more complicated, something Fon did not want to think about. He glanced at his niece and I-Pin, smiling secretly to himself. Of course, then there were those two. He wondered when Dino and Haru would finally find about those two. Perhaps, he should tell the two...? But then again, it would be more fun when they found out about it on their own.

"Yes, that should work, Nana-chan!" Iemitsu's cry of joy reached them.

Alaude was in for hell now, they all were sure of it.

~ Meanwhile with Tsuna and Alaude...

Tsuna and Alaude suddenly felt a shiver go up their spines. Why were they getting the feeling as if the oncoming days would be very hectic and strange for them?

OMAKE

Wake up I

Alaude snapped his eyes open when he felt something snuggled up to him, yet he had to close his eyes again when the sun shone directly into them. Letting out a quiet hiss of pain because of that, he blinked a few times and felt his eyes water up. Having finally gained the ability to see again, he let his eyes wander to his left side where he felt a body press against him and blinked in confusion as to what he saw there. A certain Fox-Girl was snuggled up to him and seemed quite content with staying there. He felt his eye twitched and wondered when the girl had come into his room. It must have been after he went to sleep. But why did he not wake up from her coming in? Was he really that exhausted?

Slowly sitting up as to not disturb the girl and wake her up, he freed himself from her and decided to study her. Tsuna's hair was sprawled around her while her hands were in fists and gripping his sheets. Her whole body was relaxed and her face had this peaceful expression on it. She looked cute like that, he had to say that. Alaude let out a sigh and got off of the bed, remembering that he didn't really had the time to study Tsuna a bit more and had to go to his cousin's meeting today. Grumbling, he went about to change, yet our blond did not notice the waking of a certain Fox-Girl.

Said Fox-Girl let out a yawn and slowly stretched, blinking with her eyes a few times, her blurry vision settled on a half naked Alaude. She blushed a bright red and let out shriek and took a heavy book from the bedside table and aimed it at Alaude and then threw it.

"HENTAI!"

"Wh-!"

Before Alaude knew what was happening and having turned around at the sudden shriek, a book hit him scare in the face. But it did not stop there, a pillow followed suit as did a bottle of shampoo. He idly wondered where Tsuna got the bottle from before he was nearly knocked out when a sink was sent flying at him.

"OUT! GET OUT!"

Eyes widening slightly, Alaude decided that a retreat would be wise for now and ran. Never minding that it was his room and that he was not a pervert, but he had heard how women can get with a pervert around. If there was anything to go by with the stories had heard from his father and uncle.

"Don't let be like this every morning," muttered Alaude and rubbed the bump on his head where a second sink had hit him.
