Be careful what you wish for
Summary: Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it. Tsuna wonders out aloud. Reborn hears it and an idea formed on his demonic mind. Tsuna disappeared. His guardians panicked especially a certain Skylark and a certain pineapple-head illusionist. 400 years back. Time-travel. (Rated T just to be safe though rating may change)
Pairings: 1827(main), onesided!6927, 8059, AlaGio, GAsa, and hints of other pairings as well.
DISCLAIMER: Who the hell reads this shit anyway? Katekyo Hitman Reborn! obviously doesnt belong to me, duh. My cute little Elise is mine! LONG AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE BOTTOM. YOU CANT MISS IT.
Author's Note - I am soooo fucking sorry. It has been what... two months since the last update? I've been busy playing videogames this summer and now that school's just around the corner, I thought this may be the perfect time for me to discard my laziness. This chapter was created yesterday, at 10pm in the evening. And mind you, I am really sick right now... I just want to get this chapter posted for your sakes. I seriously cant stay in front of my computer nowadays because of my mild astigmatism (but I still do it anyways). It's hard for me to get up in bed but I dont want you guys to be neglected for so long so I rushed this. I tried my best to create this chapter.
WARNING: Contains yaoi - if you dont know it then go ask Google. Strong language. Grammar mistakes, I guess? DON'T LIKE DON'T READ. This chapter wasn't proofread so there might be some mistakes.

Previously…
"Reborn! Let me go save my little brother!" The blond boss of the Chiavarone Family said with determination. "Please, Reborn!"
"If Boss says so, then please Reborn-san allow me to accompany Boss!" Old Man Romario said with a determination that rivals his boss'.
The man sighed. Who will he choose to send back to the past to save their one and only Decimo? Oh gosh, decisions.
'Now… who should I pick to save our little damsel in distress?'
Past
They arrived at the Briefing room and everybody took their respective seats. Giotto was seated at the end of the table; Sepira at his left side, G. at his right side, and Alaude across him. The blond leaned forward, intertwining his fingers together and resting his head above the pseudo-platform. "So… Sepira… Tell us about your vision."
The woman in question sighed and cast her gaze at the wooden table, a forlorn expression on her face. "I saw a raging war… A fight against your mortal rivals which left many injured, civilian or family-member." She said, her head rising to meet the eyes of the guardians and their boss.
Silence descended into the room. They were thinking what to do about the raging war. The silence continued for a few seconds before the redhead among them decided to break the ice.
"What are we going to do?" He asked to no one in particular. Nobody dared to answer his question, not even his best friend.
The shaman opened her mouth as if to say something but no words come out of her mouth so she decided to close it instead. Giotto's hyper intuition told him to let the shaman continue relaying her vision to them.
"Elise… will be the reason of the war." She finished after a few seconds deciding whether she will tell them or not.
The serious face on the blond's face was replaced by grim and worry. "If that's what Sepira saw then it must be true." Giotto mumbled before running a hand over his face.
"Why would… she be the reason?"G. asked breathlessly.
"May the God above guide our little angel towards safety." Knuckle said, clutching his bible closer.
The silent cloud guardian said nothing at the exchange and nodded at the head of the Giglio Nero Family. It was time for her to leave. Sepira just sighed and left her final words to the men,
"You must keep her in check. Don't let her go out of your sights. If she does, you must prepare yourselves and your men for a bloodbath."
With that the two vanished from the briefing room. Giotto was at loss… He couldn't think properly. Just thinking his adoptive sister is the cause of an upcoming war is absurd. "We should entrust Elise's to Tsunayoshi."
Upon hearing this, G. stood up and slammed his hands on the table. "WHAT? YOU CANT BE SERIOUS, GIOTTO?! WE'RE ENTRUSTING HER TO SOME STRANGER!"
Blue eyes met red with determination. His right hand man clicked his tongue in disapproval before clutching his fists tightly that his fists turned white. After a few seconds, he stormed out of the room suddenly, leaving his fellow guardians. Asari just sighed and prayed to the gods above for their safety.
No one dared to speak after that. "Any questions?" Giotto asked his subordinates after letting the silence stretch.
"We just have to win this war and keep Elise safe right?" The illusionist in the group asked, earning a nod from his boss. "Well then… I'll make my preparations now. If you'll excuse me," Daemon said before vanishing into thin air.
After dismissing the others, the blond found himself staring at the picture of their family. Just thinking of the war made his heart grow tight. He needs to monitor Elise, for her sake.
He stood up with only one place in mind: the guest room.
Tsuna watched the blonde as she sleeps. She got tired from playing games. Still, he couldn't believe that Giotto and Elise aren't blood related. I mean, they look like each other! How is that even possible?
The brunet sighed and then stiffened as he sensed a person near them. "Who goes there?" He asked, assuming a fighting stance.
The wooden door opened, revealing the first boss of the organization he is currently leading. "Tsunayoshi." Giotto greeted the brunet with a nod.
"Giotto-san." Tsuna responded.
The blond's eyes fell upon the sleeping figure of his sister. The sigh brought a smile to his lips. His sister is indeed beautiful.
"She fell asleep due to exhaustion. We played a couple of games after-all." His guest explained when he sensed his host demanding for an explanation. He nodded in understanding. "I see."
The two remained silent for a while but after a few seconds, Tsuna decided to speak up. "Your meeting with your guardians and the shaman are finished, right?"
Giotto looked at him quizzically. "How did you know?"
Tsuna just shrugged. "Elise told me about it."
The blond fell silent once again, unsure whether to proceed with talking or not. His descendant felt him hesitating thanks to his hyper-intuition. A small smile appeared on the brunet's face. "I'll look after her, don't worry."
The older man looks at him and bowed a full 90 degrees which made Tsuna gulp nervously. "U-Uh there's no need for you to bow, Giotto-san."
He shook his head in defiance. "I am indebted to you, Tsunayoshi. I swear I'll make it up to you once this is over." His guest chuckled lightly then brushed off the comment. "I'm just doing my part, Giotto-san. Now, please do not let me delay you from your duties. I assume you have a fight to prepare for right?" He asked with a small smile.
With a nod, Giotto left the room after planting a kiss on his sister's forehead. Only one thing is in his mind right now: That kid, Tsunayoshi, has hyper-intuition as well.
A few days had passed uneventfully, Tsuna just watched Elise like a watchdog. Everybody in the mansion was tense and busy. You can easily cut the tension with a knife. The brunet doesn't mind looking after the girl and vice versa. However, he can actually tell that she is worried for her family.
Tsuna caught the face Elise was making. She was staring at the mansion with a longing look on her face. He put a hand on top of her head which made the other turn around him with confusion written all over her face. "Don't worry about them. They can handle themselves. If shit goes down, I'll help them… just like when I helped you." He said with a reassuring smile.
In an instant, the sad look on her face vanished and was replaced by a happy one. "That's more I like it." The older chuckled and held her hand. "Let's go to the town, shall we?" He asked.
"Yeah!" Elise nodded enthusiastically then they set off with the town in their minds as their destination. Giotto asked them if they could buy some supplies in town since they ran out. The two gladly accepted the request since Elise cannot stand looking at her brother with worry.
"My Lord! My Lady!" The merchants of the town greeted them as they walked past them.
Tsuna just sighed. He hated being called 'my Lord' besides Giotto was their Lord not him. Elise just giggled at the brunet's reaction. This Japanese man and her brother are really alike. "You and Giotto are like twins~!" She exclaimed with a wide grin.
"I suppose…" Tsuna said, smiling a little. "Now be a dear and don't go somewhere outside my line of sight as I continue buying supplies, alright?"
"Hai~!"
Meanwhile, somewhere deep within the forest near the town's marketplace, a man in black suit was chasing a rugged man. Red blood was dripping from the rugged man's body, staining the green grass beneath his feet.
"Oi get the fuck back here~!" The one chasing shouted with a growl.
The wounded man said nothing and focused on running for his life. He pulled out a flash bang out of his jacket, pulled the pin and threw it over his head towards his chaser. "Oh shit!" the man behind him shouted as he dove for cover, closing his eyes shut.
This gave the bleeding man enough time to escape the wilderness but his time is running out. His vision was starting to be blurred, and his movements slowed. "Just a little… more!" He grunted then punched his thighs hard enough to wake them up. He could see a town coming in to a view.
-bang!-
A gunshot echoed throughout the forest. "BASTARD! COME BACK HERE!"
"Uh-oh!" He breathed out as he entered the marketplace with all eyes on him. A couple of gasps and shrieks came from the crowd. "Somebody… help…" He pleaded before collapsing on the ground and blood surrounding his weakening body.
"My Lady! Don't come near him! It's dangerous!"
"My Lady, please listen!"
"Come back here where it's safe, my Lady!"
"This man is in need of medical attention, quickly! I'm sure my brother would do the same." A voice filled with courage and determination to help others said. The figure crouched beside the dying man and shook him gently. "Sir? W-wait… Let me get some help." The voice that belongs to a young girl called urgently.
Moving his eyes upwards, he saw the face of a young girl with blonde long hair and blue eyes like that of the sky. He weakly reached out to her as she attempted to stand up and call for help. "My life won't last longer, child. This is my fate… I must accept it." The stranger said with a hoarse chuckle. 'And this is your fate, child.'
"Please do not speak anymore. Reserve your strength. Help is on the way." The young girl said, tightening her grip on the man's clothes. The man sighed and pulled something out of his jacket. A brown envelope…
"Child, can you do something for me…?"He asked weakly.
The girl nodded, "Anything for you, sir."
"Take this…" The man said as he handed the brown envelope to the girl. "You mustn't let the Estraneo Family retrieve this… protect it with your life, if you must… just like I did."
She accepted it and brought the envelope close to her chest as if she was hugging her teddy bear. "I will, sir. You can count on that." She said as tears started flowing out of her eyes.
"Do not cry, child. I will hold on to your promise…" he said with a small smile etched on his lips.
"Elise. Elise is my name."
"Elise, huh… What a beautiful name for a beautiful young girl like you. My name is…" His name grew deaf on Elise's ears. With that, the man took his final breath; a single tear came out from his right eye. His body went limp and his mouth was curved into a smile like he is grateful that the heavy burden on his shoulders was lifted.
Tsuna, on the other hand was busy looking for Elise when he noticed that she wasn't around. He is worried, especially when he heard a gunshot earlier. "Elise!" He shouted all over the marketplace as his eyes scan the crowd in search for the blonde. "Giotto's gonna kill me if he finds out that Elise got lost…" He mumbled with a growl.
When he was about to shout for the girl's name, said girl appeared before him, with bloodstains on her dress. "Elise, what the…" He wasn't given the chance to finish his sentence because Elise suddenly pulled him away from the marketplace. "Elise, what the hell is going on? Why are there bloodstains on your dress?" Tsuna asked continuously when they arrived at an alleyway void of any life form.
The young girl was panting. She clutched the brown envelope closer to her. "Tsuna-nii. You wouldn't believe what happened…"
"Tell me about it." He demanded with a serious tone.
Sighing, Elise began telling him the story which happened a few minutes ago. Tsuna just remained silent as he eyed the envelope. Finally he said, "We should let Giotto know about this…"
"NO!" The girl bellowed. Shocked by her sudden outburst, she dipped her head in apology and inhaled deeply to compose herself. "We can't let Giotto know."
"But we'll be in trouble if we don't!"
"Trust me on this one, Tsuna-nii… okay?" She pleaded, looking teary-eyed at the brunet. Said brunet didn't respond, instead he grabbed Elise and went back to the mansion.
Back at the mansion, Elise evaded all members of the family and silently went up to her room with the intention of cleaning up before they eat lunch. When she opened the room, however, she saw her brother inside looking at her intently. "What is this, Elise?" Giotto asked, gesturing at his sister's clothes.
"N-Nothing…"
"You know you can't fool me with your lies, Elise. Give it up; it's futile."
The girl silently cursed Giotto's hyper-intuition. Giving up, she looked at her brother seriously. She flung the brown envelope at Giotto who caught it with ease and looked at it quizzically. "What is this?" He asked.
"An envelope, duh."
The older blond couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sarcasm. "I know it's an envelope but where did you get this?"
She sighed, "When we were at the market, I got separated from Tsuna-nii then I heard a gunshot. I was scared but then I was about to go and find Tsuna-nii again, I saw this man, lying in the pool of his own blood. Being the kind person I am, I attempted to get him rescued but he stopped me. He asked if I could do him a favor to which I said yes." She paused then pointed at the envelope, "He gave it to me and said that I should not let Estraneo Family get their hands on this, and protect it with my life."
Her brother was silent throughout hew storytelling. It all began to click together. This was supposed to happen. It was inevitable. This is what Sepira meant earlier that Elise will be the reason for this war. Estraneo will do everything in their power to retrieve the contents of the envelope. Wordlessly, he reached for her sister and hugged her tightly. "Don't worry… The Family will protect you at any cost." He whispered.
'I need to take this war seriously now because Elise's life is on the line.'
Somewhere within Italia…
"WHERE THE FUCK DID MY BLUEPRINT WENT?!" The man who seems to be the boss asked angrily at his family members. All said members were scared shitless that they didn't even bother responding.
"OI! ARE YOU ALL DEAF?! I ASKED WHERE THE HELL IS THAT BLUEPRINT!"
A man in black suit entered the room. He was panting heavily and was wounded. "So? What happened?" Their boss asked impatiently.
"The man died… but the envelope was nowhere to be seen." The man reported.
"BULLSHIT!" The boss shouted and flipped the dining table over. "I. WANT. MY. BLUEPRINT. NOW."
"That can be arranged sir. I know who took the blueprint."
"Stop beating around the bush and just fucking tell it."
"Elise, Vongola Primo's adoptive sister."
An evil grin spread across the head of the Estraneo Family.
"Shit is going down, boys. Prepare for war. I want that blueprint."
"When do we strike, boss?"
"We strike at dawn, tomorrow."
