~Inside Tsuna's Office~

"So let me get this straight," Currently, Tsuna is in his office talking with Kyoya's parents who were sitting in front of him with Chrome right beside them. Kyoya, being Kyoya, decided to stand by in the very side trying to get away from the crowd as much as possible. Especially since his parents are in the same room. Kyoya wanted nothing more than to hurl.

Tsuna rubbed his temples a couple of times. He turned back to looked at the couple – now with their black mask removed – again and groaned. "You guys are freelance assassins who travel around the world taking orders from anyone–"

"No not just anyone," Kyoya's mother corrected. "It's more of like a well-paying client, per se."

"And," Kyoya's father added. "We do not take orders from anyone; we simply do their… requests."

Tsuna sighed again. "Alright, let me repeat that, both of you are freelance assassins who travel around the world taking requests from well-paying clients, and you came here, infiltrated our–"

"Visited," Kaya, Kyoya's mother, chirped in.

"Visited our headquarters, because you found out that Kyoya is getting married, and he didn't tell you anything about it, am I right?" Tsuna stated slowly, as if he was trying himself to absorb all the crazy happenings that was happening today. God, did he hope that he could sleep well tonight.

"Yes," Kyouta, Kyoya's father, answered. "We're terribly sorry if we have bothered you, Vongola Decimo." He said his voice calm and collected unlike Kaya's cheery and playful one. "We just wanted to see our son, and our future daughter-in-law." He added while looking at Chrome with a smile.

Chrome fidget in her seat while blushing hard. She can't help it. It was her first time hearing about Kyoya's parents, and here they are sitting right beside her. She didn't even know that Kyoya's parents are top-class assassins. Heck, she didn't even know that Kyoya's parents are still alive. She thought that the reason Kyoya never talked about them is that because their dead. Oh how wrong she was.

"I understand," the brunette boss said after a while. "But I would appreciate it if you would come as normally as possible next time."

Kyoya scoffed. "They don't know the meaning of normal, Sawada Tsunayoshi."

Chrome turned around frowned at him. "Kyoya, don't be so rude." She scolded.

Kyoya crossed his arms and glared at her. If Chrome was any other person, she would have cringed and peed on her pants with the glare Kyoya was sending her. But since she isn't, she just glared back. And this is Chrome we're talking about, the very one who tamed the ferocious carnivore.

"Behave." She mouthed. Kyoya wanted to talk back; he could feel a retort coming just on the tip of his tongue. But he decided not to. Admitting defeat, Kyoya just pouted at her.

"Oh look Kyouta!" Kaya squealed. "Did you see that?" She asked her husband while tugging at his sleeves. "Kyo-chan submitted to a female! Oh my baby boy is growing up!" She happily wailed.

Kyouta smiled and nodded. "He finally fell in love," He grinned. "And he fell in love with a beautiful woman, too."

If it was possible, Chrome blushed even more. She was not used to people calling her beautiful. Chrome fidgeted in her seat once more. She turned around and looked back at Kyoya. Turning around was her mistake. Seeing him stare at her intently made her cheeks flame up even more. Chrome silently cursed at her hereditary blush. Having inborn pink cheeks has its advantages that Chrome was thankful for, and disadvantages that she just thinks is a pain her buttocks. This would be the instance of the disadvantage she hated.

Kyoya smirked when she saw his fiancée so flustered. Oh how he loves making her squirm.

"Oh I know," Kaya happily clapped her hands. Chrome turned back to looked at her, her cheeks starting to go back to its natural color. "Why don't we do some mother-daughter bonding? That way we could get to know each other more!" She chirped excitedly.

Kyouta nodded. "That's a great idea, dear."

Kaya clapped her hands again. "Then what are we waiting for?" She asked.

Kaya stood up and took Chrome's hand. "Let's go!"

Kyoya frowned at his mother. She was dragging his Nagi away. He wanted to stop her and pull Chrome to his side, but seeing the look that his father was giving him, he decided not to. He knows his mother is a bit too much from time to time, but he knows she could take good care of Chrome. That he was sure of.

Chrome looked at Kyoya with pleading eyes as Kaya dragged her towards the door. She was giving him a 'save-me' look in which Kyoya returned with a wary look. He gave her one of his rare apologetic smiles. A way of his saying 'I'm sorry, I can't do anything. Don't worry you'll be fine.'

Chrome frowned at her fiancé, and gave him a one last time glare before Kaya had finally succeeded at dragging her out of the room, off to who-knows-where.

The door closed and the three men occupying the room sweat dropped.

"I'm sorry for my wife, Vongola Decimo." Kyouta apologize impassively. "She tends to be eccentric and hyper from time to time." He explained.

Kyoya huffed loudly. "More like every time."

Tsuna chuckled nervously. "It's alright, err…" He trailed off.

"Hibari Kyouta, it's a pleasure being your acquaintance, Vongola Decimo."

Tsuna nodded. "It's also my pleasure meeting Kyoya's parents." He smiled. "He doesn't often tell us anything about those things. And please do call me Tsunayoshi. Vongola Decimo is a bit too formal."

Kyouta merely nodded. "So as I was saying," Tsuna began. "I was wondering if you and your wife would like to stay with us for the time being." The brunette boss offered – oblivious to the death glares his Cloud guardian was sending him.

Kyoya's eyebrow twitched. Did the herbivore just say what he heard he said? Did he just offer his parents stay here in the Vongola Mansion, near his vicinity? Oh the herbivore was really asking for it.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi," Kyoya hissed.

Tsuna flinched when he heard the icy, cool voice of the raven man hissing his name. "W-what is it, K-Kyoya?" Tsuna stuttered. He coughed as he tried to clear his voice. "What is it?" He repeated.

"How dare you?"

Tsuna was about to answer his question when suddenly a tonfa came flying straight to his face out of nowhere.

"HIEEEE!" Tsuna shrieked. "C-chotto matte… K-Kyoya!" The brunette stuttered jumping out of his chair. Tsuna raised his hands in a defensive way as he slowly retreats backward. Kyoya gripped the other tonfa, the one that was left, on his hands as a dark, menacing aura surrounded him.

"Kamikorosu."

Kyouta could only sweat dropped.


~With Chrome and Kaya~

"E-excuse me," Chrome stuttered. Right after Kaya had successfully dragged Chrome out of Tsuna's office, Kaya had insisted that they eat something outside the Vongola Headquarters. Being the obedient girl Chrome is, she just followed the older woman to wherever she ought to go. Good thing Chrome wore her casual jeans and dress. She really didn't want to walk around town wearing her black, skimpy pencil skirt and tight black coat.

"Is it really alright to eat here?" Chrome timidly asked.

Kaya took a bite from her Chocolate Mousse as she studied the purple haired girl in front of her. She can't deny that her son chose a very beautiful girl indeed. Chrome matured drastically over the years. Her hair, which was always shaped in a pineapple, was now cascading down till her mid back. The eye-patch that she always wore was long discarded, too. Her other eye is now an illusion that she made herself – just like her illusionary organs.

Kaya nodded to herself. Yes, his son did have a good catch.

"Of course," She smiled. "Please don't be shy."

Chrome blushed, but nevertheless, she nodded. "Yes."

Kaya's smile grew wider. Chrome smiled back. She took the fork from the table and started eating her Strawberry Shortcake. Kaya stared at the girl eat before she cleared her throat.

"I guess I haven't really introduced myself, did I?"

Chrome flushed once more. "I'm Chrome. Chrome Dokuro, it's a pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Hibari." She introduced herself while mentally kicking herself in her head. How can she forget to tell her name? They've been together for almost half an hour, and she still hasn't even learned the name of her soon-to-be mother-in-law. Idiot – she's an idiot. Minus points for the daughter-in-law.

Kaya chuckled at the flustered Chrome. "I'm Hibari Kaya, Kyo-kun's mother. Since you'll be his wife soon, why don't you start calling me Mama or Okaa-san? Whichever you prefer is fine."

Chrome fidgeted as she nodded. To think that her shyness should be gone after how many years; she guess she would forever be the easily flustered, pink cheeks Chrome Dokuro.

"Y-yes, Okaa-san." Chrome tested the word. The feeling of calling some Okaa-san was foreign to Chrome. She can't say that she didn't like, she just feels weird. It may be because she hasn't called anyone that since she was thirteen – after her real mother had abandoned her in that car crash.

Kaya squealed. "I have always wanted a daughter! My, my, I can't wait for my grandkids to come!"

Chrome almost choked on the cake she was eating. Grandkids? Kyoya and she aren't even married yet. And to start a family, she wasn't even sure if Kyoya wanted to have kids right after. Chrome blushed at the thought – a picture of Kyoya and their kids. Chrome smiled. It was a nice sight to see.


~With Hayato, Takeshi and Dino~

The Rain, Storm and the Cavallone boss huddled together inside one of the many rooms of the Vongola Headquarters. They immediately conducted an emergency meeting after the parents of Kyoya disappeared inside the office of Tsuna.

Hayato, Takeshi and Dino still can't believe that the people they were fighting earlier were the Cloud guardian's parents. To say that they were shock was an understatement. Now they can understand why Hibari Kyoya was Hibari Kyoya. His parents, both mother and father, were incredibly strong. So strong that Tsuna and Dino had the trouble of fighting his father with the two of their strengths combine. His mother wasn't far off, too.

"Seriously," The bomber groaned. "How come we haven't heard about those people before?"

Dino sighed as he plopped down on the sofa. "I don't even know." He frowned. "Kyoya never talked about his parents or what they do. Heck, Kyoya never even talked about himself either."

Takeshi chuckled. Hayato's lips twitched.

"What the hell is funny, base-ball idiot?!" He scowled.

"Well, Hibari-sempai's parents were really strong." Takeshi said with a grin on his face. "Now we know why Hibari-sempai is incredible at biting people to death." He raised his finger as if he was teaching something.

Dino thought for it for a moment. It makes sense, really. Why else would Kyoya be that strong if not for his parents, right?

"I see," The blonde agree, nodding as he understood the swordsman's logic. "That makes sense, Takeshi."

Takeshi chuckled again. "It did, didn't it?"

"But it still didn't answer my question though." Hayato said as he crossed his arms. "Who are they?"

Takeshi shrugged. "They might be assassins, don't you think?" He laughed. "I really don't know at all. I'm guessing things here." He laughed again. The Rain guardian hardly changed at all. He was still the dense, happy-go-lucky, baseball addict that everyone knows. Same goes for the Storm, which is why it's predictable to what will happen next.

Hayato's lips twitched two times. Dino noticed this and gulped. This can't be good.


~With Tsuna and the Father and Son~

Kyoya gritted his teeth for the umpteenth time since the offer the Vongola Decimo did with his father. Unfortunately, Kyoya didn't get to bite the brunette boss. His father thought that it unnecessary to fight someone without any reason. Kyoya huffed. He's the one to talk. If it wasn't for his father interference with his rampage, he could have bitten the herbivore to death with or without a reason. Besides, for Kyoya, inviting someone or in this case his parents, to crowd in the same place as he does was a good reason enough.

"Thank you again for your hospitality, Tsunayoshi." Kyoya heard his father spoke.

He raised his head and saw his father shaking hands with the Vongola Boss.

"It was nothing, Kyouta." The brunette smiled. "I believe this wouldn't be the last time we'll be seeing each other, am I correct?" He asked as the two of them stood up.

Kyouta chucked. "I believe so," he answered. "Besides me and my wife still has to attend our son's wedding." He said while looking at Kyoya. Kyoya looked back and smirked. The older man raised an eyebrow at the suddenness of that smirk. Kyouta shook his head. Sometimes he just couldn't understand his son.

"Anyway," Kyouta began. "I'll be going now. Again, sorry for the trouble we caused." He bowed.

Tsuna bowed, too. With a last nod, Kyouta began walking towards the door. Kyoya peeled himself from the wall he was leaning on. He glared one last time at the brunette who immediately freezes up from the death threats the look of Kyoya was giving him. Satisfied that he had sent the message across, Kyoya followed his father outside the door.

When the mahogany door finally close with a soft thud, did only Tsuna released the deep breathe he was holding in. Having one Hibari inside a room was bad enough, having two of them was a nightmare. And that calmness Kyoya's farther have was enough to intimidate the brunette. Knowing who he was only made it worse. Tsuna shook his head. He needed to drink a coffee. All these stuff with his Cloud guardian was making his head hurt. I knew this wedding would be the end of me. He thought.


~With Chrome and Kaya~

Kaya took a sip from her latte. "So Chrome-chan how did Kyo-chan and you met?"

Chrome gulped down the cake she's been chewing. "By met you mean personally or how I came to know him?" Chrome asked.

Kaya shrugged. "I want to hear both. I also want to know how you became part of the Vongola Family."

Chrome chuckled nervously. "I knew Kyoya through my… err… brother…" Chrome frowned. Mukuro can count as her brother, right? Well, they do look like each other, and after abandoning her before they did patch things up later, so he could be her brother, right. Chrome shrugged.

"You have a brother?"

"Of sorts… Mukuro-sama saved me when I was almost dying. Since then, I was under his care."

Kaya raised her eyebrows. Mukuro? She remembered Kyoya mentioning about Mukuro in one of his rare letters.

"Mukuro? I heard about him." Kaya said. "He's the 'pineapple bastard' – not my words – who Kyo-chan hates the most, right?"

Chrome sweat dropped. Figured he said something about him in those lines. "Y-yeah…"

"Mukuro-sama was chosen to be boss's Mist guardian." Chrome continued. "But at that time he was imprisoned in the Vendi Care Prison by the Vendice. So Mukuro-sama needed someone he could use; someone he could control."

Chrome sadly smiled. Kaya noticed this but she said nothing. So Mukuro, the person Kyoya hates the most, was the infamous Rokudo Mukuro. Kaya knew about Rokudo Mukuro, the Mist guardian of the prestigious Vongola Family. Not only that, he was also famous annihilating the Estrangero Famiglia at such a young age. The illusionist who had been rumored to traveled from the seven pits of hell. Of course an assassin of her caliber would know someone that dangerous. But she didn't know that it was the same Mukuro who her son was talking about.

"I was thirteen when I was hit by a truck when I saved a cat. Most of my organs failed and I lost my eye because of that incident. My Mo…M-mot," Chrome cleared her throat. "My mother didn't want to donate her organs to save me, so Mukuro-sama created illusionary organs for me to survive, in exchange for me to be his vessel."

Kaya continued eating her Chocolate Mousse as she listened to the rest of Chrome's story. Kyoya rarely talked about things like this. This was her chance to know more about him and his friends, and to know more about her soon-to-be daughter-in-law.

"I first met Kyoya when Mukuro-sama told me to visit the little skylark. But Kyoya didn't formally meet me yet. It was only when I transferred to Namimori Middle School when we had an actual exchange of words." Chrome chuckled. "From then on, I learned more about him and the reason to why he hates Mukuro-sama so much."

Kaya chuckled, too. "Yeah, I heard about it."

Chrome looked up to the black-haired woman. "Kyo-chan lost to him, right?"

Chrome nodded. She looked down at her Strawberry Shortcake and took a bite. "Mukuro-sama found out about the Sakura-kura disease Kyoya received from the Trident Shamal, and used this to his advantage. That's why Kyoya hates Cherry Blossoms." She explained.

Kaya laughed. "Oh! Oh!" She perked. Chrome looked up from her plate and saw the full-out grin Kaya has on her face. "Don't tell this to Kyo-chan alright?" Kaya asked.

Chrome nodded her head. "I promise."

"When Kyo-chan was three, he climbed one of the Cherry Blossom trees that we have in our house back in Japan, and he fell to the ground and smashed Mr. Bun-bun in the process. He cried non-stop that day when he saw Mr. Bun-bun's head detached from its body."

Chrome raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Bun-bun?"

Kaya chuckled again. "Kyo-chan's bunny stuff toy. It was his favorite one. He can never sleep when Mr. Bun-bun's not on his side."

Chrome laughed. A picture of a little Kyoya crying because of his stuff toy popped in her head. Oh how cute! Too bad there wasn't a real picture she could see. That would have been great.

"I have a picture right here!" Kaya's voice broke her from her musings. Chrome's ears perked up. There was an actual picture! How lucky can she be!

"Really?"

"I always carry around a mini album of Kyo-chan's childhood with me. Take a look." Kaya said as she handed Chrome a small pocket-sized album from her pocket. "But don't tell Kyo-chan about it alright? He'll find me and burn it all."

Chrome nodded vigorously as she gawked at the mini album at her hands.

Oh-ho… Kyoya's childhood pictures…

This is good stuff. Chrome laughed at how cute Kyoya was as a kid. Good thing was Mukuro wasn't there to see this or else Chrome was sure he'll use these pictures to black mail Kyoya.


~With Kyoya and Kyouta~

After Kyoya and Kyouta left Tsuna's office, the father and son went straight to Kyoya's car.

"Where's Okaa-san taking her?" Kyoya asked his father as they both jumped inside Kyoya's Bugatti Veyron.

"Oh, let your mother be." Kyouta waved his hand in the air. "She'll not any harm happen to your beautiful fiancée."

Kyoya sighed as he drove his way out the parking lot. His not worried that they may be in harm. Chrome can protect herself. Besides, his mother was there as well. She can fend for the both of them. "I'm not worried about their security," he said. "Chrome can handle herself well."

Kyoya rarely calls Nagi Chrome. For him, she'll always be Nagi. Kyoya only calls Chrome that when he's talking about her, just like now, or when he's too distracted like when Chrome was leaving his office for misinterpreting things. And besides, Kyoya would never call her the name that the pineapple-bastard named her, even if it was what everyone calls her.

"Chrome," Kyouta tried speaking her name. "It's such a lovely name for pretty person. It suits her well." He mused.

Kyoya's eyebrows twitched. His hand tightened its gripped on the steering wheel as he gritted his teeth. How dare his father call the name that the pineapple bastard gave to his beautiful Nagi lovely? If only he could… Dear Neptune, did Kyoya need someone to bite to death or he'll go berserk. He couldn't possible do that to his father. Kyoya may be rash but he is not suicidal.

Remember anger management, Kyoya. Remember your anger management program and all is well.

"So where are they?" Kyoya asked again his unanswered question as he tried to distract his mind.

Kyouta looked at his son and noticed his tight grip on the poor steering wheel and his jaws set tight. He could barely hide his smirk. It was so easy to rile up his son. It's been years since they last visit their homeland and saw their son, but they had been in touch. More like they had sent letters to Kyoya and he would reply in more or less two paragraphs each letter. They knew how aloof their son could be. Just like how Kyouta's father was. Kyoya surely did take up his grandfather's cold demeanor. He just got his looks from his mom and dad and their incredibly monstrous strength.

"Doing their mother-daughter bonding time," His father answered with his deep voice. If Kyoya knew better, he would say that his father was teasing him. And Kyoya did know better! This made him rile up even more.

"Otou-san…" Kyoya gritted out in anger. It's time Kyoya bite back to his dad.

Kyouta looked at his son once more before laughing out loud. It was really great teasing his son. It was fun. Kyoya glanced at his father and glared a minute before looking back at the road, scowling a little. Kyoya didn't like it when his parents made fun out of him. It was humiliating for Hibari Kyoya to be treated as kid. Imagine if people would find out that the Hibari Kyoya was being teased by his father and he can't bite him to death. Oh the horror it was for the skylark.

Kyouta snickered. "Oh, Kyo-kun…" He breathed after laughing so loud. "You never change." He said as he reached out to his son and ruffled his hair. He lowered his eyes so that they were being covered by his black locks. Kyoya scowled once more but to Kyouta it looked more of a pout. It wasn't that he hates his parents that he rarely talked about them. In fact he does like them, except for being gone for most of the time. That he could live without. It was that he just doesn't want people to see his soft side.

"Why don't we wait for them in our hotel, alright?" Kyouya suggested. "I'm sure your mother would go back there with my soon-to-be daughter-in-law."

Kyoya could just nod.


~With Tsuna and the rest~

When Dino, Takeshi and Hayato heard the Mahogany door of Tsuna's office close, they immediately scrambled out of the empty room they were having their impromptu meeting at and hurriedly went inside the brunette's office.

"Jyuudaime!" The bomber exclaimed as soon as they opened of his office.

The brunette flinched at the sudden intrusion, and shrieked mentally. He visibly relaxed when he saw the faces of Dino, Takeshi and Hayato and not the deathly wrath of Hibari Kyoya. He believed for a moment there that the cloud guardian returned to bite him to death.

"Oh, it's you guys," Tsuna breathed in relief. He stood up from his desk and went towards the sofa in the right corner of his office and plopped down in one of the sofas with a groan. The three followed suit and sat down, too.

Tsuna sighed out loud. "I almost died earlier!" He cried. "Kyoya was so scary, and his father was so intimidating even though he was smiling the whole time they were here."

Hayato checked his boss for any visible injuries he might had. "Are you hurt, Jyuudaime?" He asked, concerned.

Tsuna shook his head. "No, they were no fights, thank God. But Kyoya did throw his tonfa at me. Good thing it didn't hit me though." Tsuna sighed again.

Takeshi and Dino laughed. "Why? Did you do something wrong?" Dino asked his little brother.

Tsuna shook his head again. "I just asked his dad if they wanted to stay with us for a while." Tsuna closed his eyes and scratched his head. "I don't know what I said wrong about that."

Dino, Takeshi and Hayato froze, and sweat dropped.

They knew why the Foundation president threw the tonfa at the brunette. It's because he asked his parents to 'crowd' with them although Tsuna hasn't said the words himself, but the thought was there. And they all knew how Kyoya hates crowding. Of course, it was a crime, at least they believe for the Cloud guardian it was, to do that, but they were not going to say that to the brunette.

"Anyway," Takeshi changed the topic. "We all wanted to know who Hibari-sempai's parents are. Do you know them Tsuna?"

Tsuna nodded. "I heard about them before." He began. "But I didn't know that they were Kyoya's parents. I mean, nobody from the Mafia really knew about their real identities before."

Dino perked up. "So they are part of Mafia!" He blurted out. Again, Tsuna nodded.

Hayato crossed his arms and nodded thrice. "It explains it. Those two were incredibly strong."

"So from what family are they?" Dino asked.

"They're not part of any family," Tsuna answered. "They're freelance assassins who travel around the world doing requests from well-paying clients." He said.

"Those were not my words, but Kyoya's mom." He added an afterthought.

Takeshi placed his hands on the back of his head and chuckled. "See, I told you they were assassins!"

Tsuna, Dino and Hayato stared at the rain guardian before they sweat dropped. They can't see what's funny about that.

"How's that funny, you sword-freak?!" Hayato shouted at the swordsman.

Dino nervously chuckled. He knew where this was going and he didn't want to stay and watch. He just survived an explosion earlier. He really didn't want one anytime today.

"So what are they called?" Dino tried to go back to the topic.

Tsuna frowned. "They're known as the Paio di Morte – the Couple of Death."

Dino, Hayato and Takeshi eyes widened. They had the same looks of surprise on their faces.

"P-Paio di Morte," Hayato stuttered.

"You mean Kyoya's parents are the Couple of Death?" Dino asked again.

Tsuna nodded.

"But," Takeshi said seriously. Tsuna, Dino and Hayato looked at the serious faced Rain Guardian. Can it be that he happened to fight them before? Could he really know about those people they were talking about?

"Are they really that scary?" He goofily asked – seriousness and surprise immediately gone from his face. "I just followed the rest and acted shocked and serious because everyone did it." Takeshi chuckled. "Are they that dangerous?"

Dino, Tsuna and Hayato fell from their seats – anime style.

"Oi," Takeshi said, surprised. "Are you guys alright? Why'd you fall?"

Hayato's eyebrows twitched and his hands clutched together. He was the first one to recover from the three. He immediately stood up and started walking towards the Rain guardian. Takeshi, noticing the evil aura around the explosive expert hastily stood up and started backing away – his instincts telling him that he'll be pounded soon.

"Oi, G-Gokudera," He stuttered. "M-matte, G-Gokudera..."

Tsuna and Dino recovered from the shock and started walking away. They wanted to save the poor Rain guardian from the wrath of the bomber, but they couldn't. Just how dense can Takeshi be? Dino almost believed that the Rain guardian was serious about knowing what they were talking about, but guessed it was just wishful thinking. Dino laughed, but it was strained due to his exhaustion from the events happening that day. He couldn't even remember why he was in here on the first place.

Tsuna, on the other hand, cried out mentally. Oh the paperwork he would have to do after this. He wasn't even done with the destroyed meeting room his guardians did with their last meeting, now he has to work with the damage his office would suffer because of his Rain and Storm guardian. He could only wish that Hayato would go easy on Takeshi.

"A BASEBALL-IDIOT WILL ALWAYS BE A BASEBALL IDIOT!"

Uh-oh. It was all caps. Yep. This can't be good at all.
