After the supper and prolonged goodnight between Tsunayoshi and Giotto and threats from Giotto to the Storm and Sun Acrobaleno, whom kindly threatened back with an option of being shot at by hitman himself if he doesn't get back to work. That got Tsuna to giggles as Giotto just pales, knowing full well that G would love, love, to work with him about paperwork. Tsunayoshi also helped Reborn by adding that he would tell Uncle G that he ate all of trumpets for sugar boost in secret. That only added to the horror of his own son, Giotto looking at him, wondering on how he even knew that. Reborn and Fon had fun watching this exchange then breaks out laughing, one mentally with amused glint in his eyes as the other just chuckled airly, his sleeve covering his mouth. GIotto left the trio to go back to work as Tsuna just waves at him, sawing good night as the boy looks downtrodden for some reasons.

"Tsunayoshi, why are you looking down?" Fon, having noticed this and wanted to know, asked for Reborn's and his curiosity. Tsuna just blinks and looks up at them, surprise in his eyes then smiles very warmly at them. Reborn just felt that the boy was trying to alleviate their grief so he just whacked the kid on his head.

"Ite!" Tsuna lets out as he clutches at the bump on his head, rubbing it down as he looks up him, wondering what he done now. "Reborn, what did I do?!" Tsuna asked the hitman with the adorable pout on his lips that only made Fon want to protect the child even more as Reborn figured that this kid is too pure for their dark world. Reborn decided if he was to tutor the kid, he would teach him in how to protect himself, flames or without flames.

"You don't have to try to take everything onto your shoulder, brat. Just let us grieve for our..." Reborn trailed off after scolding the kid for a bit, Fon looking down as well as Tsuna just looks up at them, knowing-aura in his eyes as Reborn just shuts his mouth, tilting his fedora down a bit as Tsuna felt something climbing up his back, flipping the kid out for a bit.

"HIEE!" Tsuna shriek as he reaches behind his back, Reborn and Fon snapping out of their grieving process. There, Fon began to laugh again after seeing familiar white animal on Tsuna's back, clinging to it as Tsuna just runs around, making Reborn looks at him with amused looks. Few minutes later of struggling to get the monkey off of his back and held it front of him, panting as his face was red from lack of air coming to his lungs. "Lichi! You could have come up to me in front of me and hold out your arms?! I could have pick you up.." He scolded the monkey with a pout then hugs it, petting its soft fur as Fon just blinks, knowing he haven't told the boy it's name before this. Tsuna caught the sense of distrust and looks up at them with wide caramel brown eyes then smiles warmly at them.

"Luce-kaa-san told me that she saw you guys coming here while with me... So I prepared everything for you guys, but she told me stories about you. Some are scary, some are informative, like your pets' names, and some are just straight down blackmail dirt on you guys," Tsuna explained as Fon pales a bit when he heard the boy calling their precious leader his mother. Well, they can't help it if she treats him like a son, but how did the boy see her? Or even know her?

"Lichi, come here. Tsunayoshi will need his sleep soon," Fon called out after a moment of silence, all to their own thoughts until FOn remembered that it was nearing bedtime for the boy and he had to talk with Reborn with few other things in private. Tsuna just pouts as he lets Lichi climbs out of his arms as Reborn went up to pet Leon on his hat's rim then have him turn into a gun and aims it at Tsuna, who stiffen at the sight of it rather quickly.

"Get to bed, or I'll fill you with lead, brat," Reborn threatened as Tsuna just sped off from his spot with a short shriek and door slamming that only said that he was in his room, and would be in it until time is safe for him to come out. Fon just sighs as Lichi climbs up to his shoulder, jumping for a bit as if he was a bit mad at Reborn. Leon shifted back and reside on Reborn's hand, flickering his tongue out as he blinks his weirdly yellow eyes.

"Reborn, why must you threaten him like that?" Fon asks him as he walks toward to the common room, sitting in the chair that is red and is wide enough to cross his legs in and do mediation. Yet, another spot that can be easily said as Fon's. Reborn just snorts then sits in the black chair with yellow pillow that veiw all the exits in the room. Once more again, Reborn was taken back by how the boy actually made the place to suit all of them without any issues. He eyes at Fon, who clearly noticed this face then finally took in the common room. There was an orange seat between Fon's and Reborn's seating, seeing that they have to find out the mystery chair's owner, though their guts says that is was Tsuna's. Beside Reborn is green rolling chair in front of the desk with few plugins surrounding it that only made Reborn smirk for a small bit. So he would have to tolerate him? Well, since that scientist doesn't really bother him that much unless he irks him with nonsense babbling. On the other side of Fon's there was a purple seat, almost a recliner with a warm throw over it as Fon just smiles warmly at that. Reborn can also see the purple recliner, then he just smiles when he saw the next seat by it. There, an indigo chair with small desk that is suited for accounting with calculator and papers with pencils stacked upon it. Fon looks toward to the seating by the green chair, though what was amazing that there was a couch that is suited for two people, blue in color as Reborn took notice of it, resulting Reborn to pull down his fedora down a bit.

"Think he knows about her?" Reborn ask Fon as he puts his feet up on the low rise table that has coaster scattered all over, all tan in color as it didn't discriminate among each other. Fon just takes a in a deep breath and lets it out in relaxing manner, actually taking in the fact that the seating is in circle, almost like a meeting room.

"No.. Did you think he knows that we need a meeting room?" Fon ask, referring to the shape of the seating, Reborn long-ago knowing of it. Leon just jumps down from Reborn's hand and cradle itself on the seating, giving the air a taste as Lichi just sprawls all over the edge of the seat, happy with the seat's firmness for some reasons.

"Let's leave that for later time and let's talk about Tsunayoshi. He's not able to use the flames, due to Talbot's check today, even though his father is a Sky-user himself," Reborn listed the facts, wanting to get everything right since they were bit out of it for the moment today as Fon just nods. "But he has direct contact with Luce, who has been dead for last... Four years, right on Tsunayoshi's birthday," Reborn continued, though his heart pangs heavily with the name Luce, Fon flinching barely at the name as well.

"Tsunayoshi's is almost like her... In fact, he is warm and accepting so I was shocked to hear that he doesn't have any flames," Fon said, sighing lightly as he crosses his legs together, leaning back a bit as Reborn just hums at that. "However, if he has flames, he would be a great Sky..." Fon added, his words having underlying meaning in it. Reborn caught it then smirks sadly, stroking his curly sideburn a bit.

"Isn't he doing that to us anyway? Drawing us in and providing the warmth we been missing?" Reborn added softly, Fon chuckling at that as he closes his eyes for momentarily peace. "Fon. Do you really believe Talbot's conclusion on Tsuna?" Reborn asked him seriously, his gut not sitting right with that at the moment. Fon just stays silent, clearly calculating the fact of it then opens his eyes.

"No, I do not believe it... But what are we to do, when he hasn't shown any signs of Dying Will?" Fon only answered with another question, silence answering it as the minutes passed. Then Reborn gets up and walks away, his shoes making a clanking noise against the bare floors and a door-shutting sounds came soon after. Fon knew what is his answer from that silence, though he reaches up and touches his red pacifier underneath his clothing. It was unnoticable, unless you really look for it.

Luce, why did you have to leave us without a Sky that will embrace us all? Why did you watch over the boy, instead of choosing the next Acrobaleno?


HIEEEE! Luce, why did Reborn do that for?! Tsuna thought after he jumps into his large fluffy bed, under the cover as he buries his head into the pillow. He could hear a faint chuckling and touches on his head, messing up his hair as Tsuna lets off of his stored flames for her to materialize before him. Luce sat on the bed, stroking his hair lightly as he yawns deeply at this, though he was starting to feel the effect of something he had started recently.

Tsunayoshi, don't be afraid of him, even you had him as a tutor before you came here! Luce thought into his mind as she pulls her hand back, Tsuna looking down at the floor, clearly thinking about something. Luce lets him think as he tuckes in the boy, only able to take care of the mother role she knows that he'll need for now.

He called me his toy when I first met Colonnello... Do you really think he's still my tutor after that? Tsuna admitted as Luce just blinks, then bends over with her shoulders shaking as Tsuna looks at her with mortified look. She seemed to be laughing as he just looks away, looking like he been hurt, but you could see a sad faint smile on his face. It seemed that Tsuna had missed Reborn for some while. Anyway... It's Aria's birthday.. Fourth year... Tsuna thought as he holds one hand up in the air, looking up at the canopy as Luce stops laughing, sadness premating his mind as he looks at her from the corner of his eyes. Luce, don't worry. She'll live, after all, you brought me here so I can take care of her. Hell's fire, even I'm working with Checkerface and Talbot, two Earthlings on Earth and possibly be the last. Tsuna added, trying to soothe her worries as she looks up at him hearing him curse then breaks out into a wobbly smile but Tsuna didn't mind it. As long she's still smiling and braving through this with him, he does not care how much he had to do to see those precious gems.

I know that... It's just that I wish to spend more time with her... Luce said as she watches Tsuna puts his arm back down, his hand presiding over his chest where the pacifier buried deep inside of his soul, hiding until the moment comes. Luce just smiles more truer as Tsuna just smiles faintly, almost as if he has something in mind that would make her even more happy. For now, have fun with those growing pains. Oh, and also- she thought to him as Tsuna just groans mentally, knowing those pains all over his body was exactly those as Luce leans forward to kiss his forehead. Take care of my famiglia, okay?

Tsuna can only smile to that as she completely disappearing, leaving the left over flames back to Tsuna as he just lays there, closing his eyes as he feel the tugging of sleep around his mind's edges. He can only say goodnight softly as he heard the door shut outside of his room, comforting him that he was no longer the only occupant on the floor. But the thoughts of the looks of his father gave to him when he saw how Alaude already teaching him second-grade level and forcing the kid to master the full ranges of the languages that he had drilled into him for long, long time at the age of 2...

That day was so fun, seeing Giotto freaks out.

Then the sleep takes over his mind and it remained that way until there was a sudden bang that prompted Tsuna to roll onto his side, narrowing missing the bullet from smoking G's gun who decided that the brat should be waken up like his father today.

"Oi, brat! Breakfast ready!" G growled out as he saw the kid still sleeping deeply. He ran a hand through his red hair, not pleased with the kid's avoidance of his bullets.

"G! How many time I told you not to wake him up with your gun!" Giotto called out, rushing toward to the door as he stops before him, panting as he had his suit puts on in a rush. However, he saw Tsuna sleeping so deeply, even he just avoid the near-death. Two doors opens behind then, revealing on tired material artist and one grumpy hitman who should be not woken before his first cup of espresso. However Reborn snaps out of his grumpiness, smelling the gunpowder as well Fon, stepping out of the room. He was alert all of sudden, though he eyes at G's gun then looks at Reborn. Reborn was already behind G and looks at the kid then at the pillow by him, seeing a gunhole in it.

"You should try alternating the wake-up routine..." Reborn called out, fedora off of his head as Leon was on his shoulder as G and Giotto just jumps few feets in the air, scared shitless. "Like if you can't wake him up with bullets and guns, then you need to go to more traditional way," Reborn said, stepping past them as Leon shift into ten-ton hammer as Giotto just gaps at the shape-shifted weapon. "Like this. Dame-Tsuna get up!" Reborn said loudly, swinging his hammer onto the bed, but Tsuna just sat upright, shrieking as he narrowly avoids the hammer by falling out of the bed with a thump, though Reborn didn't destroy the bed. He just stopped the hammer just about an inch from the mattress. Fon just sighed, shaking his head, Giotto was rushing into his son's room to check on him as G just blinks, crossing his arms.

"Ten-Tons?" G ask, wanting to make sure. He was more tamer when the kid is nearby, but when he was in meeting, well. Have fun with Tactician.

"Yes. Want to hold Leon to see if I'm lying?" Reborn suggested, Leon looks amused somehow as if he knew what is going to happen. G takes the handle and nearly floored with the wight, looking at Reborn as if he was kidding the shit out of him.

"Uncle G, it just that it weighs that much for us, but to Reborn, it would be able the weight of Lichi.." Tsuna called out, peeking from the corner as Leon transforms back as it lands on Reborn's shoulder. Reborn frowns, then shrugs it off as Luce's informative stories, knowing that the whole Acrobaleno group gave her details of their animals to help her to recover the sickness she would have.

"How did you know that, brat?" G called out, not really angry at him as Tsuna just smiles brightly at him.

"Not telling, Uncle Pinky!" Tsuna answered, Giotto sweat dropping as G just stands there, tick marks appearing on his head as Tsuna slips past everyone and ran down the hall, laughing with glee as Talbot just lets the kid run past him as G just began to run after him, wanting to throttle the kid into nothingness. Reborn can only run a hand through his hair, Fon chuckling lightly.

"I can't blame him. His hair does look pink," Fon only had to say as Talbot just breaks out into laughter.

"So Tsuna-brat called him Uncle Pinky? I'm sure that Alaude and Daemon would kindly protect the boy in prospect for a fight if you don't take care of the trouble, Giotto," Talbot said as Giotto just pales. Then all of the sudden there was sudden loud noise, shrieks of laughter and happiness with chuckling and occasional hnn was added along with it. Reborn and Fon just only raise an eyebrow at this, then Giotto breaks out in a neck-breaking speed toward to the floor the fight was going on.

"Don't you dare to destroy that floor again, or I will make you do the paperwork for it!" Giotto called out threateningly, Tsuna popping out of the vent as cobwebs dusted his hair. He watches his father runs by then breaks out a wide grin.

"And just what are you trying to pull now, Tsunayoshi de Vongola?" Talbot called out warningly, Tsuna flinching as he slowly turns his head to see Talbot standing below him. Tsuna just pouts as he looks toward to where his father and other left through.

"Nothing more than giving them a chase that will be fruitless. Alaude shouldn't try to teach me second-grade level last year, otherwise, I would have been caught by now," Tsuna answered as Reborn just blinks, hearing the kid has been tutored since age of two. Fon was amazed that the kid can actually do that. However Talbot didn't seemed surprised by that and whack the boy's head, drawing 'ite!' from him.

"That doesn't mean that you can give your father and uncles a huge fright when they can't find you!" Talbot scolded him as Tsuna just crouches, looking up at Talbot, puppy-eyes look back as Talbot is immune to it. However Fon was greatly affected by it, but was stopped by Reborn when he tried to hug the boy. "However, I managed to get him. I'm sure you missed him dearly?" Talbot said as Tsuna just blinks then stands upright, jumping on his feet as Talbot just reaches for carrier that was behind him for whole time and pushes it in front of Tsuna. It was about long as couch and tall as a car while it was wide like a square-shape. Tsuna just quickly looks in the hole, giggling as he finally felt free at last.

"Talbot, what is in there?" Reborn asked, very curious since it seemed to be dangerous animal crate while Fon just looks plain worried about Tsuna, who was unlocking the crate's door. Talbot just looks at the Acrobaleno then breaks out into a toothy grin as Tsuna flung open the gate, getting tackled by something.

"Natsu! I missed you!" Tsuna called out as Fon went over to see a full-grown lion licking Tsuna's face, standing over him as the lion seemed happy to see Tsuna as well. However, Giotto picked that moment to come up and froze tot he spot, yelling.

"HOW DID A LION GET IN HERE!"
