Chapter 9: Busting in and saving grace…. Sounds way too cliché…

"Wait so let me get this straight," Giotto, who had come back from his break, massaged his temples. He went for a short break and had come back to a blown up room, not to mention that the papers were now scattered everywhere... great, more work for him. "There was an explosion that blew up my office, scattering my paperwork, and Tsunayoshi has been kidnapped."

The nods that he received were subtle, but noticeable. Not something that would ease his headache. Today was a horrible day to get ambushed, since he had sent both Asari and Knuckle on a mission that would likely be finished tomorrow afternoon. Daemon was nowhere to be found, and G had told him that Alaude was chasing Lampo. Something that had to do with mashed potatoes or whatever. The very thought of the French policeman chasing the young Nobleman was unsettling, since it was obvious that there would be more paperwork in their 'harmless' chase. Great, here comes another headache...

The little amusement that he could find was how the silverette was acting. He was slumped, and his bangs hid his expression. The raven haired teen beside him was smiling but if he looked closer he could tell that it wasn't as aloof as it had been before the kidnapping. Lambo had arrived in the office after the hitman Kana had introduced, sulking from things he didn't know of. The hitman on the other hand, aside from his shadowed face, Giotto could tell that he was in the midst of scheming. He felt a shiver, but suppressed it. He sighed as he brought up the proposal of a search and rescue. "With the little time that we have, until the party that is to be held in less than two weeks time, we'll have to work hard to search for Tsunayoshi."

"I can make a proposal, Primo." Reborn spoke up, from his leaning position on the wall. The said man gestured for him to go on. The smirk was unsettling, but if it saved the adorable brunette then it would be for the better. "I say we let Kana find him."

Giotto blinked, and shared a look with G before looking back at the hitman. "And how do you know that Kana can find Tsunayoshi?"

Reborn smirked. "A hitman's intuition."

Feeling another headache coming on, the blonde boss noticed that the three teens in the room had left. Possibly after hearing Reborn's proposal. He turned to the said hitman, and questioned. "And what makes you think that Kana can find Tsunayoshi in a period of time?"

"She has the blood of the hound running through her veins." Was all the hitman stated before going off. Giotto pushed the puzzle to the back of his mind, and looked at G.

"Right, I'll gather the remaining guardians." The red haired man went to fulfill his task. But abruptly stopped when an orange hurtle passed him, sliding on the stairs' rails and leap out the front door. Breathless, the Storm Guardian, pale, stared at the door that was wide open. "Hey, Giotto."

"Mm? What is it G?" Giotto replied as he picked up another bunch of paper on the floor. That would take another hour or so to clean up for repairs...

"Do we have an ostrich in the house?"

Pausing his work, the blonde boss looked at his right hand man questioningly. "And what makes you say that, G?"

The red haired man shook his head, pointing to the door. "Cause it seems that one just flew out the door..."

X~X~O~X~X

Kana ran through the streets, not caring of the bewildered stares she was receiving from the people she passed by. Her bloodlust was on the rise ever since Gokudera and Ymamoto, along with Lambo, broke the news of her brother's kidnapping.

Oh she was going to run through the whole Italy to find her brother no matter how long it took.

And with that, she sped up her sprint determined to find her dear brother.

X~X~O~X~X

"What the hell is wrong with you!? How could you mistake him for Vongola Primo!"

Tsuna stayed still, recalling the training he did with Reborn. Stay calm and play dead. Not much of a training session, except for him getting beat up with a Leon mallet. How he was even alive with that thing hitting him every single second of his life, he had no clue. He had asked Kana on what she thought Reborn meant, and she explained it in a real life situation. Like how he was on now, to lay low and figure out your situation. Sometimes he wondered if his sister really was oblivious as she made it seemed, the contradictory thinking she did spoke of different levels. He mentally sighed and settled on listening on his surroundings. So far, there were only two people here, one berating the other on their stupid mistake of mixing him up and Vongola Primo. He couldn't blame the poor man for mixing them up, but did it really have to be him?

"But sir, the grenade that I was given had a lot of smoke, so making out the silhouette was barely even possible!"

A grenade huh... wait, just when were the grenades even created? Surely it couldn't have been made in this time and era...

"Are you that stupid? Even the silhouette would look bigger for the Vongola Primo!"

"But what if he was positioned differently on the couch?"

"Nonsense! He would not sleep in a different position! My data says so!"

Somehow, hearing all of this was making him sick in the stomach. It seemed as if the great Vongola Primo had stalkers at this time of age as well... Especially with the same sex... Just thinking about it nearly made him gag, but held it down in order to keep his façade up.

"But take a look at his features boss! He could sell for a fortune! His skin is creamy and pale, he's slender like that of a female, a virgin, and his hair is as soft as Vongola Primo's!"

Now that earned a bit of silence...

Tsuna was sweating bullets at the description that was given. Surely they weren't talking about him, however his intuition proved him wrong. He wanted out, and he wanted it now! Screw being calm and laying low! He was not going to go to some slavery and be sold off to a bunch of bidders! And just how the hell did they know he was a virgin?! He made up his mind to jump and run, mentally thanking Reborn with his Spartan training. Powered by fear, he was faster than an athlete.

The adrenaline rush he had nearly made him lose track of the conversation.

"You're right, I was saving this for Vongola Primo, but he could be a tester. This drug is really amazing, don't you think so, John?"

"Yes it is, a whole day with that drug being active, it's enough to bring the great Vongola Primo to his knees in a beggar fashion. Though I do feel sorry for Leonardo..."

"Never mind about the scumbag, he has proven himself worthy of staying in our small community."

"But I doubt he'd be the same..."

"And that's necessary for our main target, once we're finished with this little beauty here~"

Tsuna had to suppress a shiver. The way they spoke was unsettling. He prepared to leap up and take out his gl— oh he didn't have them with him... Well that will have to go out, leaping up and running around like a headless chicken sounded good enough.

He felt the man coming closer, and his intuition going haywire didn't help much, but found that it was silenced once the wall shattered. Literally shattered... "HIIIEEEE!"

A dark consuming aura engulfed the whole room, as the cloud of dust settled. Revealing a very pissed off teenage girl stalking towards them. Tsuna's eyes widened at the figure. It had been a while since he saw that murderous look on her face. "Ka-Kana-chan?"

Her gaze went over him briefly, before nodding in satisfaction. She then turned to the other occupants in the room. Giving them a calculative look, then choosing to stalk over to them. The men were trembling in fear as the boss held out the needle he had been holding. "S-stay away! I have this 100% pure drug! And I'm not afraid to use it! S-so s-s-s-stay away!"

That however didn't stop Kana from proceeding on her way. Getting as close as possible, she snatched the needle he had been holding and looked at the liquid inside the glass container. "Where on Earth did you get this pristine needle? I'm pretty sure that in this era, such a clean thing does not exist."

"W-what are you saying? I have n-nothing on wh-what you are implying!" The cowering man yelled out, pushing his subordinate in front of him.

She looked up at him, resulting in him flinching. "I'm sure you know what I'm leading up to, don't you?"

"I- I- I-"

"Thought so~" Kana smirked, she grabbed his arm and poised the needle above his arm. "So do you know anything? Or should I inject you with this?"

The obvious fear coming off of the man was nearly tangible in the air. "P-p-p-p-please don't!"

"So you'll give me the information?" The brunette smiled extra sweet. Tsuna didn't know what was worse, being in the hands of an overprotective sister or a needle with some sort of drug that could even bring down Primo... Actually scratch that, the drugs were worse off since the insides were pretty much questionable. He watched the man nod hastily, and Kana was far from moving from her position. "Well spill it out dear, I'm sure you've got quite a lot of things to say~"

His hyper intuition went haywire as he searched their surroundings, and he caught movements from the corner of his eye. "K-Kana-chan, we h-have com-company..."

"Looks like if you don't spill I'll have to take your underlings as the information holders, I'm sure you don't want the pretty needle to be stabbed into your guts, now do we~" She tightened her hold on his arm, changing the grip on the needle for a stab.

The man finally caved in, sobbing like there was no tomorrow, skittering on pleas. "I don't know much! I don't even know who the guy was who delivered it! A-All I know is that h-he came to us out of the blue! And presented us with the drug in order to bring down Vongola Primo!"

"Explain this gift giver." Kana growled, threatening to bring the needle closer to the unbroken skin.

"I-I don't know! I couldn't see him!" The man wailed pathetically.

Kana snorted as she hit him in the crotch, hard enough for the guy to pass out. Tsuna winced reflexively, that was a side of Kana that he didn't want to cross. Ever. The other guy was taken care of as swiftly as the first. "Did you have to be so hard on them?"

"If I hadn't, then they would have taken your virginity." Kana replied solemnly, twirling the needle expertly. It really was no different than a pen.

Tsuna on the other hand paled considerably. "My—

X~X~O~X~X

"— VIRGINITY!?" The loud guardians yelled out, most likely due to shock. Kana, slightly annoyed, nodded.

"Yes I did say the word virginity, I doubt that you all should be surprised about that fact, since you are all virgins anyway." Thus the flush that came back on the guardians faces, it was mostly seen among the first generation. The tenth however, were emitting bloody murder. So much for being calm...

How it came to this situation was a really simple concept. After finishing off in the moldy warehouse, the Sawada siblings were graced with Alaude's presence. The latter tying up the three threats for interrogation, yes three, the third was the one Tsuna had sensed danger from but ceased when he no longer felt threatened. Anyways, Alaude had looked at them, including the expertly wrapped needle in Kana's hand, before nodding to them and left. Leaving them to follow. Upon reaching the mansion, they were greeted, much to Alaude's chagrin, by streaming outside. The platinum blonde had evaded the crowd and left for his humble interrogation room. Tsuna had assured, and re-assured, that he was not harmed in any way before Kana had come busting through the wall. But it somehow slipped that he was to be virgin-less... And so that is where we have picked up from.

"Who the hell would steal Tenth's virginity!" Gokudera huffed, quite pissed.

"Maa, maa, I'm sure we could negotiate with them touching our property." Yamamoto replied, albeit a bit strained. Nobody seemed to have heard the squeak that Tsuna made when they labeled him as 'their property'.

"That is extremely unfair." Ryohei, with crossed arms and a shadowed face, said in the most normal tone of voice. Aside from the low octave that he had.

"Yare, yare, I can't really wait to see these people, I'm sure things could work out between us." Despite his words, Lambo had lightening crackling around him.

"Oya, oya, I came for the call of virginity but I'm met with the news that someone wants to possess my dear Tsunayoshi~" The illusionist appeared out of the blue, Chrome right behind him. Heck, even Chrome had some murderous aura surrounding her...

The first generation of guardians were quite literally shocked at the display of loyalty and such for the petite brunette. The said brunette however was reddening with the comments his guardians made, and much to his dismay, even Reborn had a suffocating air about him. Kana was unaffected, and was instead fiddling with the needle again. She noticed Hibari at the far end of the hall, when they entered was a long time ago, and flagged him down. Noticing the air about the tenth generation, Hibari went over and demanded to know everything. Kana supplied the information. "Tsuna was taken captive while I was out weeping my eyes out, Gokudera, Yamamoto and Lambo came to tell me the news."

"Get to the point herbivore." The ebony haired male growled. If this was for nothing he would make sure to bite her to death.

"I'm getting there." The said girl sighed. "Well then, I went to search for him and found his captors holding this needle. I had listened in on the conversation for a while before I broke down the wall... And apparently this was meant for Giotto in the first place."

Kana glanced at the blond gaping boss, and held back a snicker in order to continue. "If you catch the drift, you can head to Alaude's interrogation room, and take this needle with you."

She handed him the needle with a smile painted on her face. He looked down at the wrapped object before looking back at her again. "It is what you think it is. Why not try it on one of them? I'm sure it will satisfy your curiosity, besides it should it only last a day, am I right, Tsuna?"

"Huh? Y-yeah, that is what they said..." The brunette confirmed the information.

Kana whispered a few more things to the Skylark's ear, and whatever it was it had darkened the air around the said Skylark. He then proceeded to stalk off like it was the most normal thing in the world, which, in a way, was normal. "There, now my job here is done."

"K-Kana-chan, just what did you say to Hibari-san?" Tsuna questioned his twin, dreading the answer.

"Hm? Well I told him that they were in the organization that drugged young innocent children with aphrodisiac to sell them in a sex trade filled with all sexualities, and that's how he left." The said girl nodded in satisfaction.

"Wait! Hold on a minute!" G spoke up.

"Yes G?" Kana huffed.

"Rewind back to the part on who this drug was originally for."

"It was for Giotto." She answered with a straight face. Everyone turned to look at the blonde don.

Giotto blinked and pointed to himself wide eyed. "Me?"

"As I said, I have been listening, before I blew up with Tsuna being endangered but I only had caught snippets. So I would not know the whole conversation." Kana shrugged, turning towards Tsuna. "So maybe Tsuna-nii can fill you guys in while I go mope about the dress..."

With that Kana had left the group, reverting back to her sulking stage. Everyone, and I mean everyone, turned to the brunette male. Poor Tsuna, he suppressed his urge to scream at the intensity he was faced with. G growled. "Well? Spill it out!"

"Hii— Ah, well if you must know, and please don't shred me, they were talking about bringing Primo-san to his knees with the drug... And the first test subject... well, he wasn't the same afterwards is what I remember." Tsuna explained shakily.

Reborn spoke up, arms crossed. "And what were they going to do to you once they've drugged you, Dame-Tsuna?"

"Eh... um..." Tsuna recalled the memory, growing sickly pale at the thought. He offered an answer to it though, since it was Reborn who asked for it. "They were going to s-s-sell me off..."

The air grew heavy at that point, and Tsuna had to suppress another scream, and instead give off an excuse for not being there. "Um.. I h-have t-to c-ch-check up on Kana-chan..."

They didn't notice the scurrying brunette...

X~X~O~X~X

Kana nearly fell over the bed startled at the slam her door made. Looking up she noticed her brother leaning against the wooden door and breathing heavily. "Tsuna-nii? What's the matter?"

Gulping down the air he needed, he spoke up. "Never.. ha... again..."

"For what?" The girl tilted her head.

"Next time, Kana-chan, don't leave me in such a situation without warning..." Tsuna looked at his sister tiredly. "I would nearly have some kind of heart attack being with them like that.."

"So you told them that they were going to sell you." Kana nodded solemnly.

"Well Re-" Tsuna stopped mid-sentence as he faced his sister. "You knew?"

"Of course I know, how else do I know that it was meant for Giotto in the first place?" Kana shrugged her shoulders.

"Kana-chan!"

"What?"

"You left me there on purpose!"

"... Maybe?"

"Kana!"

"Okay! I left for a good reason! The mafia party is in a week and I have a messed up dress to wear." The girl grumbled, arms crossed as she pouted.

"Ah, did you look through the dresses?" Tsuna asked, glancing at the pile of thrown dresses on the floor.

"I did, but the colors and designs were the ones to decide the final factor."

"And which one did you pick?"

"It will be coming in a day or two, depends on how long he drags it." Kana grumbled.

"You went and redesigned it?!" Tsuna asked in bewilderment.

"In a different color." Kana defended her choice.

"And what did you pick?" Tsuna pushed.

The air turned gloomy, but she answered anyway. "They didn't have orange, so they suggested pink."

"Ah, but it's not that bad, Kana-chan." The older of the two tried cheering up the younger twin. "It suits you, you know."

"But it's pink, and do you know what other type of pink I hate other than hot pink?" She didn't wait for answer, and proceeded to rant. "Bright pink, and guess what? It would have both of them on the dress!"

"I'm sure it will be fine-"

"No it is not fine! I'm going to be humiliated!" Kana sulked in her small corner of woe. Tsuna sighed.

"Well, do this for kaa-san?" He asked gently, a hand placed on her shoulder.

Kana sniffed. "Alright, for kaa-san."

Tsuna smiled, sometimes that oblivious streak was a good thing. He rubbed her back soothingly. "Now why don't I see you in that dress?"
