Me: to be perfectly clear this story is an AU, the original character will come out. And the reason they are not Tsuna's guardians is because they abandoned him. If anyone else has any problems they can get out now and I do not want to see their names again.
Risa: We got a review that had a problem with the story. But hey if you don't like this story no one is forcing you to read.
~Time and Place~
'Thoughts'
"Talking'
~LINE~
~Oct 14 three hours before the meeting~
Tsuna looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a black suite that fit him perfectly. At the meeting Tanaki would lead but Tsuna will be recognized as Boss. They would all be wearing mask to hide the fact that Tsuna is well Tsuna. He would finally see his brother after ten years. Tsuna wondered what his brother was doing now.
~The Vongola Mansion Grounds~
Under a large tree there were three boys. A tall, tanned raven haired boy who had fallen asleep. A tall, sliver haired boy who had a permanent scowl on his face who was smoking. And a small blond boy who had large brown eyes and was reading what looked like a file. Their names are Yamamoto Takeshi, Gokudera Hayato and Sawada Tsukiya. Tsukiya had a frown on his face as he read. "What's wrong Boss?" Gokudera asked.
"This new Family we are meeting with. We have no information on them. We don't know who the boss is, where they came from or when they started." Tsukiya closed the folder. "We have nothing to go on. Not even their name."
"This is why we are meeting with them in the first place." Reborn came out of a small elevator in the ground. "You and your guardians are going with the Ninth to the meeting in Tokyo later tonight to meet with them."
"So we are going to meet with the guys who have been taking out all the other weaker Families?" Gokudera asked, and then he gave a smile. "Don't worry Tenth I will make sure they know you are better than then." Gokudera bowed to Tsukiya.
"Baka!" Reborn kicked Gokudera in the back of the head. "We are trying to make a treaty. You guys cannot mess up. We don't know how strong they are. If they get enough allies and we are their enemy we can have some problems. We are already dealing with the Millefiore. We don't need more enemies. We are counting on you guys."
"Don't worry kid," Yamamoto said, he was awake the whole time and was pretending to sleep. "Tsuki can handle it. Can't you Tsuki?" Tsukiya didn't look so sure but smiled nonetheless.
"Good, because if you fail…I'll have no choice but to restart your training from the very beginning." Reborn pulled his fedora over his eyes and turned Leon into a gun. Causing the three teens to shiver in fear and Reborn to smile. "Let's go meet the Ninth."
~In the meeting room ~
Tsukiya sat down between Yamamoto and Gokudera. He looked around the room. He could see his guardians were already there. Chrome sat next to Yamamoto and Lambo was on her lap. Ryohie sat next to Gokudera and Hibari stood near the corner to the left glaring at Mukuro who was in the corner to the right. The Ninth guardians sat on the other end of the table.
"Tsukiya, I'm sure you heard about the meeting taking place tonight?" The Ninth asked.
Tsukiya nodded. "We are meeting with that new Family that is growing in power. We are going to try to form an alliance right?"
"That's right; I want you and two of your guardians to come with me. Only eight people can go. I am taking two of my own plus Reborn and Iemitsu. The last three will be you and two of your guardians so choose wisely." The Ninth explained. All of Tsukiya guardians looked at him. Secretly wishing to be the ones chosen.
"I will take Hibari and Mukuro; if they are dangerous we will be protected." Tsukiya said after a few seconds. Reborn nodded at his choice.
"Then you three should get ready. We will leave in two hours. "The Ninth dismissed them.
~In Tsukiya's room~
Tsukiya was in a fierce battle with his arch enemy and was losing fast; he pulled one last time and finally gave up trying to tie his tie. When a knock on his door brought him out of his thoughts. "Tsu-kun are you ready yet?" the voice of his mother asked through the door.
"Almost, I'm just having trouble with my tie." Tsukiya answered. The door opened and Nana walked in.
"Let me help you, your father always had trouble with this too." Nana fixed his tie. "There, my baby is growing up."
"Mom, I'm only thirteen." Tsukiya said.
"I know, it seems like only yesterday you were only learning how to talk." She said trying to fight tears. She loses herself in her memories, then a small one of a brunet child came and she almost gasped. But fought against it. "Now go on Hibari and Mukuro are waiting for you." She pushed her son out and Tsukiya went to find his cloud and mist guardians.
Nana looked out of the window as they drove off. 'I wonder how Tsuna is. Is he happy? Is he going to school? Or did he…' She stopped her thoughts there. She wouldn't let herself feel guilty about leaving the sick babe in the orphanage all those years ago. But she wondered what he was doing now.
~Outside the Hotel~
Verde pulled out seven masks from who knows where. "Put these on. They will keep your face hidden." The others took them.
"Why do we need to wear them?" Al asked as he but on the blue mask. Each one had one for their flam color. Sora had red, Riyo yellow, Tsuna orange, Tanaki indigo, Lee purple and Noah green.
"Because one, we don't know how the meeting will go. If it ends badly and they know our faces they can track us down. Second, we can't let them know Tsuna is with us. If they know who Tsuna is they might try and take him." Tanaki explained to them. The idea of Tsuna being taken away by the very people who left him behind angered them. They nodded in understanding. A guard opened the door and they stepped outside.
Once inside the hotel Tanaki and Verde went to the front desk and asked for the meeting room. The man at the desk led them down a hallway to two huge doors. When they opened it inside was the Vongola. The Ninth stood up and went to greet Tanaki.
"It is good to finally be able to meet you face to face Vongola Ninth." Tanaki said.
"Kufufu It isn't face to face though. You are wearing a mask. Why not show us what you look like." Mukuro said.
"We have our reasons." Verde answered. "I would have thought that the Vongola would have taught their followers to only let the Boss do the talking when an important meeting is taking place."
Mukuro kept his poker face in place, "Kufufu an Arcobaleno. How interesting."
"Verde I thought you said you would never work under someone." Reborn said.
"I am just returning a favor." Verde said nothing more.
Tsuna wasn't paying attention. He was looking at the boy who looked almost exactly like himself except for the blond hair. 'That must be my brother; he is the one my parents choose over me.' But before he could get any more depressed a hand slipped into his. He turned to his right and saw his little sister Riyo. Since the masks only cover the top half of their faces he could see the small smile she gave him.
She squeezed his hand and he squeezed back. "Shall we start the meeting?" Tanaki asked.
"Yes, we should." Ninth said. He sat at one head of the table while Tanaki sat at the other. "I want to offer and alliance with Vongola and your Family."
"And tell me Vongola, why should we ally ourselves with you?" Tanaki asked he put his elbow on the table and rested his head on his hand. Ninth seems shock at that. "We are able to protect ourselves and money is no problem, so again I ask why we should ally ourselves with you."
"I'm sure you heard of Byakuran and the Millefiore. We could beat him if we work together." Tsukiya said. Shocking the others into looking at him. Tanaki just smiled.
"Maybe another Family would have taken you up on that deal but Byakuran and I had already met. And we spoke; he will leave us out of his little war as long as I keep his plans hidden. So try again." Tanaki said, he was enjoying very much the look of worry that set into the Vignola's faces after that.
"Is there anything we can offer for an alliance?" The Ninth asked, even though years of being a mafia boss taught him never let the enemy name the price he didn't want to get on the wrong side of this new Family.
"No," Tanaki said.
"Do you know what you are giving up?" Tsukiya said. "We are the strongest Family in the world. You do not want us as your enemy."
Tanaki frowned but when he spoke he only spoke to the Ninth "Your heir is very rude Vongola, unlike mine here you see." Tanaki gestured to Tsuna.
"You already have an heir at a young age?" Reborn asked.
"We can't be too careful can we?" Verde said.
"This is a waste of time Yamigura-sama, I say we leave now." Sora said.
"Maybe, they do seem weak do they not?" Tanaki said. Just as the Ninth was going to call out a black blur passed him and was aimed for Tanaki. Before it could hit though Lee had stopped Hibari from hitting him with a wooden staff.
Lee kicked Hibari off him. "Wow, you are strong. I want to bite you to death."
"I think we should try again some other. Without your excitable heir and his guardians." Tanaki said and led the others out of the room.
~Back in the Van~
"So that's how you handle our allies?" Riyo asks him with an eyebrow raised.
"Shut up." Tanaki said.
"Let's just go home." Sora said
"Yeah I have a surprise for you, Tsu-nii." Riyo said.
~Back at the Base~
They walked to the mess hall they walked in to the room the lights were off. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TSUNA!" The lights turn on and the others were holding presents to Tsuna.
"Thank you guys." Tsuna says.
