"It's a pleasure to sing with my friend here tonight! This is what we think happened in Vongola's past so don't assume we're correct or that we're historians of them..." Cano's words brought loud cheers from everyone, causing Reborn to smirk as he pulls down his fedora before jumping up to sit at the top of the table before him. He was curious in Vongola's past of Primo's time. Instar and Cano seemingly to have info from that time.

"Oh shut up, Cano. You need to get off. You stink," Instar joked playfully he pushes Cano off stage toward to Reborn and the girls. Cano lets out a yelp then flips forward to land safely.

"And you need to sing another song, bastard!" Cano retorted before catching a bottle of water that was heading for his head. "Grazie, amore!" Cano's words made Instar faked throwing up as well getting the audience laughing at the playing around. Cano jumps up to the VIP area. He lowers his voice as he turns off his headset, Instar starting another song in the background. "Good evening ladies, sir."

"That's was amusing playing, Cano. How long did you know each other?" Reborn asks Cano, who sat away from the girls to cool off. Reborn took the chance to study the face, but he only managed to get the red hair and pale skin with a wicked smirk on the lips. He never got the eyes at all since Cano was wearing dark sunglasses.

"Well, he saved my niece and me from the fire about... A few years ago. He's young, almost fourteen; so he would be about nine to eleven years old at the time," Cano said as Reborn was taken back by Instar's supposed age. It's about the same as Tsuna's and Ieyasu's themselves they are not that far apart in age. Plus, he had to give it to Instar, saving valuable allies this way. "Anyway, Instar chooses his VIPs, ladies. In fact, he had heard of you two from his online buddy a while ago."

"Oh really? Who would tell him about us?" Hana said as she leans forward as Kyoko giggles, focusing more on Instar's songs. "This is the first time we meet Instar after all."

"Well, The buddy he talked about is Cielo," Cano said as he tilts his head while remembering. Reborn nearly snaps his head to stare at other. He had to think of something that seemed ordinary to the girls but something that Cano can understand the meaning oversees.

"Cielo? Isn't he the one that hacks for the government? I think I heard of him from Italy," Reborn said as Hana just hums, thinking of who could it be then smirked as she knew that Tsuna is a computer savvy. The information he got for the project seems to be rather standard information that anyone can know, but there wasn't one anomaly that could prove that Vongola is a Mafia Family in terms. She turns away, looking satisfied about the information as Reborn narrows his eyes along with Cano's tilting his hat down.

"Cielo said that you would figure him out anyway. Reborn, just what the fucking hell are you doing here?" Cano said to Hana at first then to Reborn, switching to Italian. Hana just scoffed, muttering about thumping someone when they get home while listening to Instar now. Reborn just smirks, facing Cano straight on. "Instar didn't expect you to even whistle at us like that. In fact, he never told me that you were coming!"

"Why would he know I would be coming when I'm invited by these lovely ladies here? And tell me why Instar here in Japan for, Cano. Whenever Instar comes out into public, something big happens. Even more so when it's related to prominent Families too." Reborn's words cause Cano to goes silent, looking at Instar who is currently 'Stay In My Heart'; both of them looking at each other before Cano turns back to Reborn.

"He just comes and goes whenever he wants to. Japan's his favorite place to go to. Instar is not stupid that every he goes, something big happens so he terms himself as 'Watcher' instead of what you could call 'evil.' The only person he saw as a necessary evil is Man in Iron Hat, though he didn't like the curse on you Acrobaleno," Cano confessed as Reborn let his face goes blank as he was torn on the topic. It just means that Instar might not join Ieyasu as Cloud guardian or Mist, even more so when he knows about Acrobaleno and Checkerface. That was not normal and rarely Reborn gets to meet anyone that knew the real story behind the curse itself. "For me, I would follow him anywhere. Anyway, he would know who is coming; even if they are invited. He and Cielo are rather close and had stated that you might be invited by the girls. Cielo likes Tsuna a lot, so I advise not pissing either Instar or Cielo." Reborn just watches the non-existent smirk turns into even more dangerous.

"Even I wouldn't get in their way if you get them pissed off at you. He wields rare flames, to begin with after all." This made Reborn turns to see Instar bowing as he finished his concert with cheery voice and wave of his hand. Cano just nods then stands up, cracking his back then bows to the ladies before him. "Anyway, ladies. Please, follow me to see Instar," Cano said with a cheery grin as Reborn was picked up by Kyoko again; following the red-head onto the stage and backstage. They were lead up to the main star room, Cano opening the door. Reborn .' with the sight of Cano getting hit with a pillow in the face.

"Cano! Get me a damned Coolish! You owe me for that time in Italy when I have to take care of your niece when she's sick!" Instar's voice called as Cano flips backward while tossing the pillow back into the room before heading off to get the said item with disgruntled words. Reborn smirks, translating for Kyoko and Hana. Hana just snorts, agreeing with Instar that any sick kids are worth their trouble. "Come on in, ladies, sir." Reborn directed the girls in, seeing that Instar is still wearing his top-hat for secrecy. Hana just nods then sits in the seat by Instar as Kyoko did the same.

"Good evening, Instar. Did you expect me?" Reborn's question made Instar chuckles slightly.

"Si. I can't speak Japanese well, though, but I can speak English. All the songs I sang in was English after all." Instar's answer made Reborn nods then faces the girls.

"Instar said that he could speak English, but I can translate for you girls if you want to make things easier for both sides," Reborn said squeakily as Instar gets up to get two cups of espresso, two cups of water and four plates of simple vanilla cake. He walks back and gave the girls water, Reborn espresso and set the plates down with forks for each person.

"Okay! My name is Kyoko, and this is Hana! We have a friend named Tsuna, which we were planning to invite him but he's not available.." Kyoko started off, taking a sip of water then some of the cake. Instar slightly perks up at the name Tsuna, which Hana noted that.

"So you gave us VIPs free because of him?" Hana said as Reborn translates non-stop for Instar to understand. When he finished, the singer just stays silent then breaks out into a hearty laughter as Kyoko just stares at Hana. "What? Cano had said that Cielo knew Tsuna and Instar heard of us from Cielo and Tsuna I guess." Reborn just smirks as Instar just gasps for air, shaking his head.

"Non, non. Cielo suggested I should see you girls on Tsuna's behalf because he is one heck of bassist if Tsuna wanted to. Anyway, both of them urges me to see you two, and I'm glad I did. You are lovely girls after all," Instar responded as he chuckles fondly. He lets Reborn translate back for the girls, sipping some espresso. Kyoko just blushes pinkish and giggles shyly as Hana also blushes too, muttering about stupid brunette for setting this up. "Also, last night, Cielo told me that both of you girls and Tsuna have a project related to Italian Mafia?" Reborn just smirks as Instar looks slightly careful with the subject. Hana just nods after Reborn translated the question.

"Yes. We wanted to know what's is currently going on at the moment beside... Dead heirs?" Hana asks after checking with her notes. Instar slightly frowns a bit, Reborn noting that whereas Cano is pale, he was even lighter color. He also has somewhat goldish brown hair color as well, but he couldn't get the recognizable features. This made Reborn slightly troubled that two people could do this, even up close as well.

"Ah... Vongola topic? Interesting," Instar said as Reborn nods, stating to the girl that he was asking about specifics for a bit. "That's certainly troublesome. How to answer this without tripping the laws..." Reborn just smirks, pulling down his hat as he knew that Instar is more knowledgeable on currents of Mafia right now. "Well, I can say that Vongola has three heirs in consideration; though one of them is not... Approved by Nono." Reborn nods as he thinks that Tsuna would never be approved by his boss as Reborn translated for the girls. Kyoko just hums, scribbling down the information as Hana just smirks at Instar's thinking on how to explain it in a way where all of them can understand.

"So you can't give us the names for security reasons?" Kyoko's question was translated and gotten a nod from Instar as a response. Reborn took the chance to sip the famous Italian espresso brew. "Then can you tell us something interesting about Primo Generation?" Reborn just translated, causing Instar to leans back into his chair as he thinks to himself.

"Primo have six Guardians. They were given duties, and each of these functions was given the names of Weathers of the Sky. Storm, Rain, Lighting, Sun, Cloud and Mist; all of them have their duties as Primo was called Sky. He's considered to be the central part of the Vongola at his time; being an all-accepting person that takes in insult and praises equally while bringing in Weathers into battles where he stands for his morals." Instar's response made the girls smile happily, but he wasn't finished with that part. "So you know that part. His Mist betrayed him, like this forcing him to retire at the young age to Japan with his Rain, who is also Japanese, Sun, and Cloud, both of them coming from Italy and France. His Mist went on to serve Primo's distant cousin, who is called Secondo; though for the reason why Mist betrays Primo, no one would never know." Kyoko was taken back by the second part, looking sad as Hana just scowls at the thought of betrayers. Instar just smiles weakly then ducks a bit while catching Coolish with his hand.

"During that moment of betrayal, Vongola's secret ally was destroyed by Mist's plans and was never heard of again since then," Cano said as Reborn quickly translated for the girl as Instar just hums his approval. "That's why we started off the first song together to represent that partnership between the ally and Vongola. I can tell you're talking about Vongola for now then," Cano said cheerfully as Reborn reassured that Cano is slightly tanner than assumed. The red head just grins then took the fourth seat across from Instar.

"Ah. I think that's all we needed for the project then?" Hana said as Kyoko nodded as Reborn just nods as well. Instar, Cano, and the hitman were relieved that the girls didn't ask more question. "Ano... Can we get something for Tsuna? It just that we haven't gotten anything for him in a while..." Kyoko said shyly as Instar just looks at Cano, who quickly translated so Reborn can have a break. Reborn took his time sipping his espresso while watching Instar gets up, going through his stuff then lets out a crow of triumph. Instar tosses a box to Cano, who immediately laughed when he saw what it is.

"So that old man finally finished this. Okay, girls, we give you a pair of gloves that we've created with Tsuna in mind," Cano said as he lifts the lid, letting them just looking in to see a pair of black gloves that is made of the material that Reborn quickly noticed as Flame material. The gloves were simple and to the point, having golden trim around the cuff with small X symbol on the left hand. Reborn just smirks as he could tell that Cano and Instar wanted Tsuna to be able to access his flames and possibly take over the Decimo title. "If we give you two gloves, but having X symbol bring turned into hearts and gold trim as pink or anything you want it to be; it might be a hit since the weather is going to be cold soon once more again."

Hana picked up the gloves, testing the material with her fingers then grins as Kyoko took the other one, exclaiming on how durable it is. "Maybe we can help you sell some as long we get permission from our school prefect. I know Kyoko, and I have some good connections with him," Hana said as both of the girls puts the gloves back into the box and Reborn took the box, holding it protectively. He didn't want Tsuna to lose his possible weapons after all; he could tell that Fon might enjoy the fact that Instar and Cano guessed that Tsuna is great at close-combat.

"Hibari is rather bastard with his ruthless ruling; but with my promise to fight him in the countryside, he will let you do that." Instar said as Cano brought the question up in Italian, causing Reborn to translate since Cano was laughing at his words. Hana just scoffs, muttering about stupid monkey needed to thump things out to settle things as Cano just snorts into laughter as well. "Unfortunately, he'll chase me down if I even say this so better get going so I can leave Japan peacefully... Hopefully." Reborn smirks wider at Instar's slight hesitation of heading over to fight with the demon prefect. Even he is a first-rate thief and excellent fighter; this only mean to Reborn that Hibari is extremely ruthless with his allies and enemies alike.

"Looks like we should get going home. There's a slight chance that Tsuna might come home tomorrow, but I doubt he will. He might come home after tomorrow, though," Hana said as she began to stand up, Kyoko following her lead as she picked up Reborn, who clutched to the box. Instar nods, pulling out three signed CDs, holding them out to them as Reborn took the CD since it was written in Italian. The group left as Reborn took his chance to read the small note for him as Instar shuts the door after them as Cano lead them out.

Be careful of what you teach to Ieyasu. Even Tsuna thinks he's not safe from mafia influence, Reborn.


Ookiniwa Spa

Japan


Tsuna sits on the bed in the small motel he found to be near the hot springs he likes a lot for hospitality. The old lady that ran it had given him lowered price now since he keeps coming back without making any troubles for him. He's currently wearing orange yakuta with white rope. He fans himself with the paper fan, sighing slightly as he looks up to the clear sky. He enjoys the twinkling starlights, silence reigns around him. But he knew that it wouldn't last since he finally sent back his response to Byakuran already.

Wish that it would come already. I have enough of waiting at last. Tsuna's thoughts were paired with a wavering heart, pain coming from it as he felt two Mist flames inside of him as well unknowing Cloud and Rain flames drew near to calm his raging Sky flame. He opens his eyes sudden, nearly glowing eyes exposing his real self inside. For I have done nothing but suffer for long, long time.
