6th shot – Trouble Coming
"I can feel someone glaring dagger at me right now."
Yamamoto and Gokudera who stood in both his sides automatically perked up and grab the tilt of their weapon while looking around.
"Who is it Jyuudaime?! Who dare to disturb you!?" Gokudera growl and glaring around like an angry cat.
Even Yamamoto looked as scary as (or probably more than) Reborn in his sadistic mode now, with his hand ready at the tilt of his sword. "Was there any enemy around?"
Tsuna sweatdropped mentally seeing his friends over-reacting over his mumble. Not that he ever underestimate their over-protection over him either after all these years though. He have just to learn of that particular fact it in the…. hard way.
"Don't worry, he didn't mean any harm." He says lightly, continuing on their walk.
Tsuna could feel the two relaxed from their stance behind him, though it didn't erase their confused face.
"What do you mean Tsuna?" Ask Yamamoto as he let go of the tilt of his sword again and catching up to him.
Tsuna just shrug at them, "Well...we will find out later."
Gokudera and Yamamoto staring at each other in confusement. They didn't feel any malice at all from around them, but of course their boss's intuition is second to none to anyone in the mafia world, so they won't doubt his word.
But then, why would he just ignore such things?
"Ah...by the way guys," Tsuna take their attention back as he turn his head around, still not stop walking. "Keep your weapon around for today's event. You know...just in case..."
Both of their eyes widen for a split second before turn normal again and they hesitantly nodded at his order. Not that they ever forgot to at least bring the basic weapon around, but Tsuna usually getting overly wary and anxious everytime they hold their weapon around ("Well what can you expect!? I don't want us to lose more money just for the fucking sake of repairing something or re-building a city or country anymore!") –well, like that….so for the Decimo to actually ask them to hold their weapon when there's so many civilian around, something must bound to happen.
They arrive in the dining room last, as everyone else including the rest of his guardians already take their seat. Tsuna almost smiling much too happily seeing his guardians is complete for meal for the past few days. He have to thank Chrome's pregnancy for acting like a magnet for the two most troublesome guardians of his.
They were having a peaceful lunch, Tsuna almost crying in tears again at this fact, until suddenly a loud bang was heard from afar, and everyone stop moving.
"W-what was that sound?" some of his guest started to look worried over the sudden scary sound. It was as if something just being smashed and broken.
Wordlessly Tsuna stood up from his seat, with his cape flapping behind him and make most of the girls blushed and the boys looked in awe, followed by Yamamoto and Gokudera who move out as quickly as their boss towards the door wordlessly.
Saya looking at the rest of them who sit in the center table, and confused on why the rest of them looked so calm and didn't get worked up over the sudden turn of event. It was as if it's the usual things too occur.
But then her thought cutted when the older Sawada abruptly stood up after finishing his food in extreme speed, and walk towards the door too. But not like the previous three, he stop in front of the door and just stood there facing at the closed door with his hand crossed.
"Hey, what happened here?" one of her friend whisper at her side.
"Beats me."
There was suddenly a loud screaming and another smashing sound coming from outside, and this time it was closer than before. The rowdy voice continued on for a few seconds before it suddenly turn all quite. Everyone was too shocked and confused that none has continued their meal and no one even say a word.
Breaking the silence, the door opened slowly revealing Tsuna, whose clothes somehow have become a bit messier then before he stepping out earlier. He still keeping on his smile demeanor in his face, but somehow Saya could see a tick mark in the brunet's head.
"Onii-san, would you take care of the…um…situation outside for a while?" said Tsuna in a low voice that only both of them could hear.
"Sure!" Ryouhei quickly stepping out from the room and closed the door behind him.
Tsuna turn to his guests who all now have their attention towards him, and still keeping his smiling demeanor.
"Um…sorry guys, there's just some disturbance outside. So, I suggest we start on today's schedule a bit earlier shall we?"
"And what is today's schedule Sawada?" one of them ask.
Everyone could see Tsuna's smile getting even more brighter (if that even possible) as he answer happily. "Free time sightseeing around Sicilly~"
Osamu feel like they're more like being shoved out from the mansion that morning. Tsuna literally push them out from the dining table when all of them haven't even finish eating to take things they want to bring from the room, calling them out again in 2 minutes, and then kicking (okay, he didn't literally kick them though) them out from the mansion without another word. All without passing the corridor where the shouting and breaking sound was heard earlier.
It was as if he (or they) are hiding something there.
He was planning to confront Sawada head-on about what the hell happened with his sister, since she won't spill the bean herself somehow, but he didn't even get the chance to say out a words or even get to him because of the event this morning. He didn't want anyone else to know about his family condition so he definitely couldn't ask him in front of his every classmates, and that leave him no choice but to follow the others walking out from the mansion.
And so here he is, with some of his old group of friends, walking towards the nice looking city just outside the mansion's gate.
Oh, did he already mentioned that there's bus provided for them to travel from the mansion till the gate?
Despite the weird ruckus that disturb their breakfast, everyone looked eager to do the outings today. Possibly to try one many Italian dish and do some early shopping and gifts. But then someone actually smart enough to realize one thing.
"Wait. Sawada and the others aren't coming with us. How are we supposed to speak in Italian?"
All of them frozen, and staring at each other. As weird as it is, they never thought about it earlier. Possibly forgotten they're in Italy in the first place since all people including the maids and staffs inside the mansion talk with them in fluent Japanese. But they can't expect the townspeople to be fluent in it too, can they?
They were already discussing about using some phone translation app or something (some actually brought dictionary with them), when suddenly a small group of policeman saw them and approach them with concern face.
"Hello gentlemans. Is there something wrong?"
Everyone frozen for suddenly being approached by a police in uniform, furthermore he was speaking in Italian (well of course dude!) to them.
Everyone glancing at each other panickly, afraid the policeman see them as suspicious person or something. But no one dare to speak out.
Osamu could see the policemans started to looked even more confused, and he finally stood up. "Err…no! Not Italian! Japan! Japon!" he stupidly reply in broken English instead.
Luckily, the policeman seems to get what he mean, as they make an understood kind of face while nodding, and then unexpectedly they smiling wide at them.
"Ah! You gentlemans must be Tsuna-sama's guest aren't you? I'm sorry, we should have realized earlier."
To say they are surprised was an understatement. They never thought Italian Policeman could fluently speaking Japanese, and furthermore they seem to know Sawada. And they call him with '-sama' too!
"Er…yes, we are sir…"
The policeman who looking like he's in his 40s laughing heartedly seeing the people in front of him looked nervous, "Don't make such face! Tsuna-sama's guest is our guest! We are more than happy to welcome you! I see you're going to the city?"
"Um, yes. Though we kinda just reminded that we didn't know any Italian at all…."
"Hahaha! Don't worry about that! Everyone in the city is fluent in Japanese!"
Everyone's eyes widen at the shocking information. "They do!?" why on earth would a city in Italy have it's people ALL fluent in Japanese?
"Yes they are! Because it's Tsuna-sama's mother language. So everyone is more than eager to learn it!"
Everyone staring at each other again at the newly acquired information. One person is able to make an entire city learn a language just because of him!? What the heck!?
"..um, and why is that, sir?" one of them bravely ask. He's too curious to not ask about it, and Osamu thank him inside his mind.
The policeman looking at them with the expression as if they're asking 'why the sky is blue', if Osamu could put it into words. Then, as if it's the most common knowledge in the world, he answer with proud face.
"Well of course because he is the Decimo."
Saya is curious.
No, it was an understatement.
She's REALLY curious, thirst of the unknown knowledge right in front of her nose!
While everyone in the bus that she rides shuffling on getting of the vehicle as soon as they stop at the gate, she use that chance to hide in one of the back seat instead and let the bus driving back towards the mansion, with her in it.
After she thinks that they have arrived at the parking lot and the driver have gone away, she get out from her hiding spot and peek around through the glass. Seeing the coast is clear, as quietly as possible she got out from the (luckily or unluckily) unlocked door, and made her way to the mansion again.
She was 100% sure that Sawada Tsunayoshi is hiding something from all of them ever since they arrived in this mansion. Well even if he didn't if she could get anything out from the sole leader of the whole Vongola Corporation it would be worth it anyway.
With her curiosity get the better of her, she bravely make her away from the wandering guards and somehow made it back to the place that she remember Sawada introducing yesterday as their backyard.
She was about to look for that back door where they got out from before, when suddenly she saw familiar shadow through the window beside her, and she quickly ducking down below the window glass frame.
"…I'm sure I've personally requested you guys not to come around this week right?"
Saya blinks almost too excitedly as she recognize the deep voice belong to the one and only Sawada Tsunayoshi. Her source of curiosity right now.
She can't believe how lucky she is now!
A grunt and somehow loud scream followed before some scary voice was heard from the other side of the wall.
"And why do you think I will listen, trash?"
"…well at least I've tried aren't I, Zio?"
Saya furrowed. If she not mistaken, Zio is the Italian word for 'Uncle'. Is Sawada talking to his uncle right now? But that man didn't sounded THAT much older to her.
"I would love to hear what you have to say that you took the trouble to come here, but first…"
There was a sudden long silence from the room. Saya was thinking whether they have moved to the other room somehow and whether she should stood up to peek and check on them, when suddenly she was startled by the sound of the window above him being smashed open loudly and Sawada Tsunayoshi smiling oh-so-brightly at her crouching figure.
As if he was expecting her to be there all along.
Still in her shocked state, Saya jumped from her spot and are now stood facing the room through the window with her body a bit leaning back from fear(?). Behind Sawada Tsunayoshi's figure she saw a new group aside from his usual inner circle of people. A big man with lots of scar in his face, a long haired guy with sword attached in his hand, a guy who keep smirking evilly, and many more scary looking guy that definitely could enter police's wanted list just from their figures.
And all of them are staring straight at her cowering figure outside the room.
….I'm doomed aren't I?
"Enma-san, why are we here instead of going to Tsuna-sama's place?" Shira ask as she walk beside him, with her holding (more like hugging) his left arm.
Right now they're at one of the shopping streets in Sicily, walking around with their usual suits and dress, and in Enma's free arm was the letter that Tsuna sent to him the other day.
"I don't really understand myself. In this letter Tsuna-kun only say that he need us to be in Sicily today, and do some shopping for him. This is weird, why don't he just ask one of the maids?" Enma furrowed confusedly.
Shira tilting her head in confusement too, but then she smile her bright beams of smile that always manage to make Enma blushing, and hug into his arm even tighter than before. "Well let's just take this as a date won't we Enma-san? You've been busy for the past month after all~"
Enma quickly get pass his blush and smiling back fondly at her. "You're as busy as I am Shira-san."
Shira shake her head, still with her happy face. Somehow only when she's with Enma she turns from her princess-like self into a childish girl like this. And Enma definitely won't protest her for it.
They were walking casually, sometimes waving at the townspeople who know them (they are Tsuna's close friends after all, and other famiglia's bosses too) as they walk towards their first destination to do their 'shopping'.
It was all so peaceful for Enma and he even almost forget his earlier suspicion on why Tsuna ask such a simple request to them (he spesifically ask Enma to bring Shira along too). Until someone suddenly called out to him from behind.
"Loser-Enma?"
Enma shivered at the sudden event of being called with his old nickname, and in Italy's soil of all place. Hesitantly he turn around, followed by a confused Shira who still attaching herself to him. Enma's eye almost popped out at the sight of a group of Japanese people that could pass as normal group of tourist that stood with different kind of expression behind them.
That is if only he didn't recognize some of them as his former classmate in Namimori Middle School.
"Wha-? Ho—how?" Enma sputter almost like his old self at the sight.
"We're the one who supposed to say that! What are you doing here of all place! Weren't you going back to your homeland or something?!" one of them shout back confusedly.
Of course they are all confused. They were just doing sightseeing a moment ago, and suddenly they saw familiar red hair's back view that impossible to be missed at first sight. Furthermore, he is wearing a very expensive looking suits and a gorgeous looking woman entangled at his side. Not to mention his face looked so much more manly now with his eyes getting sharper than in their school days, that some of the girls in their group gasping at the sight.
"Eh? We—well, I—uuh…" what should he say? Heck Enma totally at lost on what is happening here! Too money question popping out inside his brain right now? Why is their old classmates in Italy? What should he say? And furthermore, does Tsuna know about this?!
Enma was forcing his brain to work something out when suddenly he feel his arm being tugged by Shira from his side, "Enma-san, who are they? Do you know them?".
Enma blinked for a while seeing Shira back to her princess-like self. He forgot that Shira didn't know these people.
"Holy sh*t Loser-Enma who you got there with you?! She's really beautiful!"
"She can't possibly be your girlfriend isn't she?!"
"Eeehh? His girlfriend?!" one of the girl who suddenly swooned by seeing Enma's current appearance immediately feel threatened.
Knowing it will be rude to not introducing both side, Enma could only hope things will work out just fine as he took the courage to introduce both sides. "Um…this is Clamonte Shira. Shira, this is my former classmate in Japan." He purposely leaving out other information about Shira, hoping that she catch his lead.
Shira makes a small 'o' with her mouth as she absorb the information. She than let herself go from Enma to bow politely at them as she make her introduction herself. "Hajimemashite. My name is Clamonte Shira, boss of Santos Famiglia and Enma-san's fiancée. It's nice to meet all of you."
Every and each one of them gasping so hard with their eyes looking straight at the bowing girl in front of them, while Enma facepalmed literally at the happening event. He didn't even know which of the two shocking new information that frozen all the people in front of him right now, nor how he should deal with it after this.
Oh my God….this is the worst possible outcome.
A/N : It's been a long time everyone! Sorry for neglecting this story for months (I'm sure it hasn't been a year already), but now I'm ALMOST free from my thesis so I think I could update a bit more from now on :3
This is just a short update for this story, which I hope you guys enjoy, while I prepare for the better part next time.
I hope my writing skill hasn't getting worse though.
I need to digging out again what I was planning for throughout the story, you are free to give me suggestions that maybe I could put somewhere inside the story flow :3
I'm particularly still debating whether to make ALL the classmates ended up knowing about the mafia or just the 3 OCs.
