"I'll explain it to you the day after tomorrow," Continued Tsuna with a serious face, "Meet me at Vongola Corp. Main Office Lobby, at ten a.m." Mochida sighed and nodded slowly despitehis overwhelming curiosity, but he decided to ask Tsuna another time.
"Good then." Tsuna pulled his hand back and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
"None of your business. Oh, are you gonna be lonely if I go?" Said Tsuna while resisting the urge to LOL.
"Hey!"
Tsuna chuckled and opened the door, "Just kidding. I just want to check on Hayato in the Emergency Room." With that Tsuna exits the room and closed the door softly. Mochida sighed and stared at the ceiling, just how many times did he sigh today? He didn't know anymore.
"In what kind of thing did I get myself into?"
...
Just how many times Mochida stared at his wristwatch in the last 30 minutes, he didn't know. Mumbling some words under his breath, "It's already been thirty minutes... When will he come?"
Now Mochida is sitting on a soft, comfy chair that is placed at the corner of the Lobby, his lazy eyes staring at the employees that are wandering around there, while carrying a stack of papers in hand. Well, sometimes there's something that catches his interest- beautiful Ladies. All of them wearing black suit jackets paired with a black skirt wrapping their smooth legs.
"Pardon me, are you Mochida Kensuke?"
Mochida brought his head up to look at the person in front of him, "Yes, It's me. What about it?" Ask Mochida while he inspects the tall and handsome butler. Silky black hair that is combed neatly, piercing red eyes, plus the black coat with a tailcoat. What a butler.
Seeing that butler, Mochida immediately remembers one hell of a butler from a famous manga and anime.
"Tsunayoshi-sama ordered me to show you around this building while he attends an important meeting."
"I see... Well, I'm really curious about this place and the Vongola Family, since this is not really different from Vongola Corp." Said Mochida while getting up from his previous position, the butler smiled and bowed, "This way." He brought his hand up and pointed towards a long corridor, Mochida nodded and followed the Butler.
...
"Whoa..." Mochida gasped as he admired the ornaments that are placed around the corridors he passed by, 'Whoaaaaa... it's all made of real gold...'
"Please enter, Mochida-san." Said the Butler to Mochida who's still busy admiring the golden ornaments around, even in his worked place – Vongola Corp. – there isn't a thing that is purely made of gold. Well... there are some familiar patterns at some places.
"Oh, OK." Mochida then glanced at the now-opened doorand the Butler in front of him; he walked in warily, afraid that there is something suspicious or something dangerous inside there. And... Inside the room- that significant room, various portraits were lined up at the wall, all of them with a golden frame and the Vongola emblem on top of it.
"I will tell you about the Generations of Vongola from the very first to the current Tenth Generation." Then he walked and stopped besides a portrait on the middle, "This is the founder and the first boss of Vongola – Vongola Primo Giotto." He pointed at a man with golden and spiky-styled hair and azure blue eyes. He wears a black cape, with chains, keeping the cape from falling off, while wearing a black suit with a white pinstriped shirt.
"He's kinda similar to-"
"Tsunayoshi-sama, isn't he? Many people thought so, the First Boss of Vongola is indeed similar to Tsunayoshi-sama." He chuckled a bit.
"I see..."
"Well then, move on. This is the Second Boss of Vongola, Vongola Secondo – Ricardo."
Mochida's face takes on a look of horror when he sees the portrait of that person, 'Scary...'
"The Third Boss of Vongola."
'Hmm...not bad.'
"The Fourth Boss of Vongola."
'What the-'
"The Fifth Boss of Vongola."
'Uwaahh...'
"The Sixth Boss of Vongola."
'I see...'
"The Seventh Boss of Vongola."
'...'
"The Eighth Boss of Vongola – Daniela."
'Beautiful...'
"The Ninth Boss of Vongola, Vongola Nono – Timoteo."
'I bet he's a kind person...'
"And, now who is currently leading the Vongola- The Tenth Boss, Vongola Decimo, Sawada Tsunayoshi."
'Oh- Wait... what?'
"So... Tsuna is the Tenth Boss?"
"Yes he is. Has Iemitsu-sama never told you anything about the Vongola Bosses?"
"NO. He never told me anything about it, whenever I tried to ask about it, he always changed the topic." Answered Mochida with a pissed off tone, "I see, well then, we should move on to the next location, it's the training ground for Decimo's Guardians." Said the Butler and opened the door for Mochida.
"Wait, before that- I want to ask you, what are 'Guardians'? Tsuna always mentionedit."
"Ah, Guardians are, let's say they are the ones who serve the Boss and the most loyal subordinates off them all. Now there are seven Guardians serving the Decimo. They all have a different Element describing them. The Elements are storm, rain, cloud, sun, lightning and mist. The boss is called sky Guardian."
"I see..."
...
Mochida was walking through a corridor while sometimes glancing around. Outside the corridor were sakura trees standing along the way- sadly, it's not the season when they can bloom. Not long after, he can see a big Japanese traditional door and there are some sounds coming from inside the room. It were sounds of metal clashingagainst metal. But, Mochida blinked at the laughing voice between those clashing sounds, then a loud 'VOOOOIII!' followed soonafter. Mochida fastening his pace due to his curiosity.
Then, the Butler stopped right in front of the door, "We're here, this is the training ground for the Rain Guardian- Yamamoto Takeshi-sama." He slides the door.
Mochida immediately had a 'WTF' face.
It reveals Yamamotowho is currently 'playing' katana while sometimes letting out a laugh and a man with long silver hair, that is chasing him down with a katana too. "VOOOIIII! FIGHT WITH ME FOR REAL!" Mochida put his hands to his ears and closed his eyes tightly, while Yamamoto and the Butler are just smiling with a calm face like there's nothing happening around them.
"I get it, I get it~" Answered Yamamoto calmly, then he inserted his dying will flame into his Vongola Box and from the blue flame Jiro and Kojiro appeared beside him, "How about this~?" Said Yamamoto in a sing-a-song tone while swaying his now Rain Flame covered katana and pointing it at the silver haired man.
"THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!" That silverette comes right at Yamamoto at full speed.
And they begun to fight each other.
Until... "Oi oi, STOP! STOP!" Screamed Yamamoto while waving his hands in front of him, "You scum! What is it?!" The silverette of course protested, Yamamoto grinned and pointed at the entrance where Mochida and the Butler are standing, watching their fight. Mochida let out a small 'eep!' when the silver haired man pointed his katana right in front of his face.
"Who is he?"
"Oh? Right, you haven't met him before. He's Mochida- the new Vongola Famiglia's member that Tsuna has been talking about."
"New member?! VOOOOIII! WHY DIDN'T HE JOIN THE VARIA INSTEAD, YOU SCUM!" He screamed and pointed his katana at Yamamoto instead.
"Don't ask me, it was Tsuna's decision~"
"Varia?" Mochida asked with an innocent face, "I will explain it to you later, Mochida-san. For now, maybe you want to greet Yamamoto-sama and Squalo-sama?" Offered the Butler.
"Squalo?"
"Pardon me, that silver haired man beside Yamamoto-sama."
"I-I see..." Mochida gulped when Squalo glared at him and observed him fromhead to toe, Yamamoto laughed and patted Mochida's shoulder, "So, why're you here?"
"Just walking around."
"Souka~ Souka~ Wanna 'train' with me and Squalo? It'll be a nice exercise." Yamamoto pointed at the pissed-off-looking man beside him, Mochida gulped again and stared at Squalo nervously- honestly, Mochida didn't really want to fight with them, especially Squalo, not after he saw that fierce battle in front of him a moment ago.
"N-No thank you, I still wanted to check the other places after this..."
"Hmmmm, I see. Well then, I'm gonna go back to practice with Squalo again."
And once again Mochida had to cover his ears due to Squalo's loud voice.
...
Mochida stared at the building in front of him; it was a traditional styled Japanese building. Then he glanced around, the building was located quite far from the others and the main building of the Vongola Famiglia. But, it was a nice... house (?), sakura tress were placed around it, and a small garden with a pond besides it.
"This is..."
"This is the special training ground for the Cloud Guardian, Tsunayoshi-sama let this be build for him."
"Wait- special? From what I see this is just a traditional styled Japanese house..."
"This is just for relaxing; the real training place is underground."
"U-Underground? Below this?" He got a nod for an answer.
"Midori tanabiku~ Namimori no~"
Mochida immediately glanced around to see the owner of the... obviously familiar voice.
"Daigaku shounaku, Nami ga ii~"
Mochida gulped when that voice was coming closer.
And.
That creature perched on his hair.
"Herbivore! Herbivore!" Chirped the yellow fur-ball that's comfortably sitting on Mochida's head, "Which herbivore?"
"Idiot herbivore! Idiot herbivore!" If this bird wasn't Hibari's pet, Mochida would have already deep fried it with hot oil and be eating it. Sadly, he can't. Or Hibari will kill him for sure. Mochida gulped nervously and turned to the source of the voice behind him. And, there he is, the great and only- Hibari Kyoya. Standing there wearing a formal attire- black blazer and pants, with a purple under shirt. Like usual, holding his beloved tonfas, and this time there's no blood on them. Then he put his tonfas away to God-knows-where and brought his hand up to order Hibird to come there.
Without saying anything, Hibird understood and flew away from Mochida's head, to perch on Hibari's finger, "What do you want, herbivore?"
"I-I-"
"Mochida-san is taking a walk around here, waiting for Tsunayoshi-sama to finish his appointment." Answered the Butler in place of the stuttering Mochida.
"Hn." Hibari walks past Mochida and the Butler calmly, when he arrived at the entrance, he slides the door open and takes off his shoes, by now Hibird already moved from his finger to his shoulder, "Want to come in? You have a perfect timing; I want a partner for a fight right now." He said with a smirk.
"N-no thank you."
"I believe Tsunayoshi-sama will accompany you when his appointment isfinished." Said the Butler, Hibari gave a smirk as response.
"Hn. He will." Then he closed the door. Mochida let out a sigh in relief, the Butler just chuckled in amusement and stretched his hand to point the way, "Shall we continue our trip?" Asked the Butler whose identity is completely unknown.
"OK."
...
Mochida stared at the room in front of him with a poker face. This is... the complete opposite of the traditional Japanese room he saw moments ago, this is like a child's room. A complete child's room. A simple room with white paint, well, there are a lot of jars which are filledto the brim with candies, chocolates, marshmallows and other sweet stuff. The jars are placed neatly on a coffee table in the corner of the room. This is a paradise for sweet lovers.
The middle of the room is decorated with a red couch and another coffee table, 'This room is... used for training? Seriously?'
"U-Umm..."
"This room is for the Mist Guardians."
"Guardians?"
"Yes, there are two of them."
"But, you said there are six Guardians serving the Boss."
"The Decimo is special, he has seven Guardians."
"Well... where are they?"
"Kufufufufufu~" And Mochida's question has been answered by an... Unique laughing voice. Mist came out from nowhere and gathered in the middle of the room. That mist became thick and now Mochida can see a... floating pineapple coming out of that mist.
"GYAAAAAHHH! A FLYING PINEAPPLE!" Screamed Mochida like a girl and covered his head, and the so-called-Pineapple creature smacked Mochida's head with a pineapple.
"SO RUDE! I'M NOT A PINEAPPLE, I'M A HUMAN!"
"O-Ouch..." Mochida whimpered while rubbing his head, he blinked his eyes and noticed a pair of heterochromatic eyes glaring at himangrily. But he wasn't paying attention to the unusual pair of eyes, he's staring at the hair which really, like, really looks like a pineapple.
"What's the difference? That hair of yours looks like a pineapple."
Mochida just dug his own grave.
"Kufufufu... How dare you call me a pineapple." He stretched his hand to his side and takes out a trident from the mist he created. Then he pointed the trident to Mochida's face and smirked, "Die."
"Mukuro-sama."
"Hm?" That angelic voice stopped his urge to kill that one hell of a man that just called him a pineapple, "Oya oya, what is it, my dear Nagi?"
"Don't kill him here. I don't want to clean up the blood." Mochida had a 'WTF' face and wondered if the woman, who just appeared from mist just like the other one, was trying to be kind or honest when she said that. The woman was wearing a black tuxedo and a skirt in the same color as her tuxedo, "You're... the one from that..."
"Oh. It's you." Said Chrome in a monotone voice, "Good afternoon, Chrome-sama, Mukuro-sama." Greeted the Butler and bowed in respect.
"Good afternoon to you too~"
"Good afternoon."
Mochida wondered why Tsuna allowed these persons to be his Guardians? Moreover beauties like Chrome. Tsuna really is something, Mochida felt a pang of jealousy.
"Oh yeah, bring me a chocolate tart." Said Mukuro to the Butler, "Understood. I will ask the chef to bring it here later."
"OK~" While Mukuro, Chrome and the Butler are talking about sweets, Mochida takes a walk exploring the room. 'Ugh... sweets everywhere...' Then, he discovered something really interesting, between the jars of sweets, he found a pineapple shaped pillow. He takes the pillow and rubbed it slowly, feeling the softness of the fabric.
"You like that? You can take that if you want."
Mochida turned around only to find Mukuro standing therecrossing his arms and keeping them close to his chest, "Huh? Don't wanna. If you don't like pineapples, why do you have this thing?" He glanced at the pillow in his hand.
"Kyoya gave it to me as my birthday present. It's not like I like it anyway... but... yeah, I kept it until now."
'Hibari is giving presents to someone?! The judgment day is near...'
"Mochida-san, let's go to the next place."
"O-Oh, OK." He placed the pillow on the coffee table where he found it and walked towards the door, ready to leave the Chocolate Room- Mochida decides to call it like that. Mukuro and Chrome were waving their hands from the door, but before Mochida left the place, Mukuro gives him a final glare.
Mochida gulped.
...
"Looks like we have to end our trip here." Said the Butler when they arrived at the big Garden thatis located behind the main building of the Vongola Famiglia.
"Why?"
"Because the Sun Guardian is not here due to the mission he's working on, and the Lightning Guardian is still attending School."
'School? For real?'
"Then, what about the Storm Guardian?"
"Ah, he's accompanying Tsunayoshi-sama to the appointment- which will be finished in a few minutes. So, this will be the last stop for us."
Mochida takes a walk around the garden- Park? Which is decorated with a bunch of beautifuland exotic looking flowers all around, a medium sized pond filled with various types of fish. At the middle of the garden, there's a big gazebo, perfect for relaxing and spending time with friends and family. To be honest, this is the first time for Mochida to see such a beautiful garden.
"Mochida-san, we should go back to the main building."
"OK."
...
"Oh yeah, what's your name? Even though you're with me all the time, I don't know your name." Asked Mochida in the middle of their way to the certain place in the fifth floor, "Ah, I'm sorry. My name is-"
"Sebastian!"
The Butler- whose name is Sebastian, turned around to see the owner of the voice that called him. He found the Vongola Decimo waving his hand towards him, his loyal Storm Guardian standing beside him while carrying a few documents in his hand. Sebastian walks closer to his Boss and bowed in respect, "Tsunayoshi-sama, Hayato-sama."
"How was the trip?" Asked Tsuna in curiosity.
"Well... it was nice. Love the garden by the way." Answered Mochida.
"I see~ Well then, there's something I want to talk with you about." He said and grabbed Mochida's hand tightly, unknown to Tsuna, Sebastian and Gokudera both send a death glare to a certain person, Mochida gulped and pretend not to notice it.
'Is it just me or... ever since I've met Tsuna – I always get a death glare from everyone...'
It can't be helped, Mochida~ Of course people will give you a death glare when you get too close to the Vongola Decimo – who is calledThe Cutest and Strongest Boss of Vongola. Well, Tsuna wondered about it a few times, how did he get the 'Cutest' title, he's a man you know?
"Let me come with you, Tsunayoshi-sama." Asked Sebastian his beloved Boss, Tsuna stopped dragging Mochida along the hallway and turned around, "Nah, it's OK. I'm fine by myself." He smiled to make sure of it.
"But-"
"Shut." Tsuna is now in front of Sebastian in an instant, he silenced his personal Butler with his finger sealing Sebastian's lips. Tsuna gave him a warm smile and pulled away his finger, "I'll call you when I need you, 'kay?" Sebastian's cheeks flushed a faint shade of pink, while Gokudera is frozen, watching the scene in front of him. Tsuna smiled again and waved his hand.
"Bye!" Then he continued to drag Mochida somewhere.
"Tch. That shitty Mochida. He has to be feeling really lucky to hold hands with the Tenth."
"Agree. I agree with you, Hayato-sama."
And the other members of Vongola Famiglia – including the Butlers and Maids – stopped their movements to take a different way. Because... who wants to go to the hallway full of killing intent?
They still want to live.
...
Mochida observed his surroundings.
A simple room, but it feels really comfortable and warm. A coffee table placed in the middle of the room, and two beige-colored couches at the side. A big window directly showing the beautiful garden of the building placed at the end of the room, a big oak desk placed in front of the window. The elegant yet classic theme is dominating this room, in the corner of the room, there's a big book shelf filled with to Mochida unknown books.
Now Mochida and The Vongola Decimo are sitting on the couch, well, of course Tsuna sits on the couch across him. Tsuna smelled the calming scent of the tea he just brewed – he learned it from his mother a few years ago – then he sipped the tea, savoring the great taste. While Mochida still hasn't touched his teacup.
"U-Ummm..."
"What is it? You don't like green tea?"
"A-ah, no. I like green tea." Mochida brought the teacup and sipped a littleHis eyebrows lift in response, 'Delicious...' He takes another sip.
"So, Mochida." Tsuna put away his teacup, "Just like I said the other day. Do you want to be a part of the Vongola Famiglia?"
"Uhh... Before that. Can I ask what is the difference between Vongola Corp. and Vongola Famiglia...?"
"Ah, yes. I haven't explained it to you, have I?" Mochida nodded, "Hmm... First thing first, I want to ask you something."
"What?"
"What do you think about the existence of Mafia?"
Mochida blinked his eyes.
"Mafia...? I cannot say it for sure... because it's really rare to find Mafia in Japan. I heard most of the Mafia Famiglia are in Italy, until now the most powerful Famiglia is there. I don't know the name, but I heard the meaning of the name is... clam... or something. What about it?" Tsuna smirked and put his hand to his chin, staring sharply at the person in front of him.
"What if I say, Vongola Famiglia is the most powerful Mafia Famiglia in the world?"
"Well, I- wait... WHAT?!"
"Hm?"
"You mean... Here- this place is the headquarter of a Mafia...? And, you're asking me to join the Mafia?!"
"Yup! Do you want to join a Mafia Famiglia– the Vongola Famiglia?"
"..."
"Mochida?" Called Tsuna while waving his hand in front of Mochida's face.
"A-Are you serious?"
"Deadly serious."
"Then, I-"
"Hold it," Mochida shut his mouth immediately. Tsuna stared directly at Mochida's black eyes with a serious expression – the most serious he's ever seen.
"In the mafia, there's a pledge you have to obey no matter what happens if you want to join an Organization. Omerta. Omerta is kind of a 'promise' you cannot lie about. The promise is; you can't give any information to other person outside the Famiglia no matter what happens."
"No matter what happens..."
"No matter what. A person who breaks the Omerta has to choose death over telling the information to the enemy."
"D-Death..."
"So... Do you want to obey the Omerta and join the Vongola Famiglia and accept me as your Boss?" Tsuna stretched his hand in front of Mochida; his serious expression still in place . Not the usual warm smile. Mochida's hands feel heavy, there's a little bit of hesitation inside him to join the Vongola Famiglia, a Mafia organization. This is the Mafia; of course, there will be life-threatening events he will encounter in the future. But, oh well.
Mochida decided not to think about anything for now and grabbed Tsuna's hand tightly.
"I, Mochida Kensuke, promise to obey the Omerta and accept you – Sawada Tsunayoshi as my Boss."
Tsuna threw his serious expression away and replaced it with a warm smile.
Mochida felt his cheeks' heating up.
"Welcome to the Vongola Famiglia."
...
That moment, Mochida did not realize that he just joined the strongest, yet, craziest Mafia Famiglia in the World.
...
To Be Continued
A/N:
F-Finished... *falling into my bed*
And, here I am, finishing this chapter at perfectly midnight; 0:00 (At least that's what my Laptop's clock showed when I glanced at it).
I hope I can update my fan fictions faster. I'm busy with exams, clubs, drama practice and cosplays. I know I'm a very busy person, and yet I write so many fan fictions that I'm not really sure if I can update them that often.
I'm such an idiotic person, aren't I?
