Chapter 9


"Alright, you all know the plan?" Giotto said to his guardians two days later. For the last two days, no matter how hard they tried, they simply could not get through the thick web of traps laid around where they assumed the kids were hiding.

And they knew the kids had set the traps, because when they had made a quick run into town, they had seen the Asari look-alike, a kid with a cap obscuring his feature, and kid with a really weird hair style (A/N: it's Kaoru, just FYI) wandering around. G's cigarette fell from his mouth when the kid's cap came off, and his silver haired mini was revealed. As it was, Giotto had to cover the red(rink?)head's mouth to keep a very loud bout of curses from giving away their location.

"He knows we have his description," said Alaude, comprehending. He also drew the conclusion that the children were all orphans, seeing how dirty their cloths were, and that G's mini was pickpocketing people.

What the man didn't know was that the kids were also listening to gossip of what might have been a new Famiglia moving to town, with the kids hoping for it to be their targets. It was looking hopeful, since the Family was boasting a very strong weapon.

The First Generation all nodded.

"Then today we finally meet face-to-face these hellions,"

~three hours, five pit falls, one swinging log, a snake pit, an alligator pit, and several landmines later~

"How…the…fucking…hell…did they…get those…set up!?" asked G, resting his hand on a tree for breath.

"Ma, G; we can probably assume that we have made it past the danger zone since nothing has attacked us by now,"

"Nufufufu, we should continue on before Asari's jinx catches up to us,"

Lampo gulped.

After walking for several seconds more, the thick trees suddenly stopped, revealing a dilapidated mansion, half overgrown by weeds.

A familiar figure was standing in front of it.

"Anita? But how did you get past the traps?"

"Because I knew where they would put the safe path with no traps today, seeing as how these little guys change their defenses daily," she replied, pointing at a random patch of bush, then to the mansion. "Now let's head in for some tea,"


~Tsuna's POV~


Everyone had decided to sleep in a few extra hours on their third day to the past. It was exhausting, doing all the work they usually did with bodies of half the strength.

Tsuna was still not sure what had woken him up. Whatever it was, it gave him a head ach.

He winced as Ryohei sleep-kicked his leg.

With the exception of the girls, the three Families had divided themselves up by their respective families. Itmade sharing sleeping space much less awkward.

Tsuna was just about to drift back off, nestled into his pillow, when his Hyper Intuition went haywire as the door opened, revealing men in black suits there to…

Oh no; dear God, his nightmare about people coming to beat them up for Daisy stealing their money was coming true!

Thinking quick and keeping his cover in mind, Tsuna did a very smart thing. He sucked in his breath, then yelled at the top of his lungs "INTRUDERS!"

And just so you know, Tsuna can be loud enough to render a person deaf if he's standing too close and yelling loud enough…


~Giotto's POV~


He had just opened the door – slowly as to not set off another trap – when and ear-splitting cry yelled out 'intruders!'.

Faster than the Guardians could blink, the previously dead-asleep children were wide awake, with a multitude of weapons pointed right at them.

Alaude let out a low whistle of approval.

"Daaaaaaaaamn," muttered an awed/scared Lampo.

Anita just calmly ignored the weapons, instead making eye contact with someone in the back of the room…

When Giotto saw who she was looking at, he stopped breathing. Seriously. When his guardians couldn't get his attention, they followed his gaze and it was their turn for a mini seizure.

There, standing at the back of the room with two others, was a brown-haired, amber-eyed version of Vongola Primo himself.

"DAMNIT GIOTTO! WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU ASK ME TO BE THE FUCKING GODFATHER, HUH!?" yelled G, jumping to conclusions.

"He's not my-"

"Like you are one to EXTREMELY be talking!" shouted Knuckle, pointing to the silverette of G, who was brandishing dynamite.

At the mention of something EXTREME, a light-haired Knuckle shouted the word back like an overly loud echo.

Then the Asari mini calmed the kid down.

"Hn, herbivores; state your business or be bitten to death," said a black haired boy, tonfas at the ready, looking just like Alaude. And needless to say, that struck fear even into Deamon's heart…

Speaking of which, the children just then noticed his prescience in the group.

A girl with violet pineapple styled hair and an eye patch let out a scream of pure horror, dropping her trident. Another pineapple appeared next to her, single gloved hand on his own trident ("Ahhh..." thought Giotto, tears hanging from his eyes "Asari was telling the truth,"). Seven of the other twenty-something kinds stiffened, staring at Deamon like a rabid dog would a horse.

"Tsunayoshi-kun, Enma-kun, Byakuran-kun; can you please tell your Guardians to lower your weapons? We are not here to harm you," Anita calmly advised, speaking in Japanese. "My name is Anita Giglio Nero, boss of the same Family,"

The First Generation were about to step in and ask why she would speak in a foreign language to Italian orphans, but were shocked to the core when the mini Primo replied in flawless Japanese.

"Minna, calm down; it's Yuni's ancestor," the brunette said, and the kids relaxed slightly, letting Anita through their ranks.

When the First Generation tried to follow, the Asari look-alike leveled his sword at them, all the happy-go-lucky aura they had observed a few days ago gone. the smile was still there, only it was much creepier.

"Stay where you are, Vongola First Generation. Deamon Spade," the silverette spat, cocking his explosives into a more accurate position.

So yeah, that was how the First Generation found themselves in a dicey situation with five year-olds (who they thought they would be able to wipe the floor with (A/N: if only they knew…) in a matter of seconds).

"Tsunayoshi-kun, I would like to thank you first hand for what you and your Guardians did for my Family." Anita Giglio Nero bowed at the waist to the five-year-old brunette. "And Byakuran-kun, I don't blame you for your actions; I also thank you for being Yuni's friends,"

The white haired boy looked as close to guilty as anyone in the room had ever seen him, but nobody said anything then; time for that would be later…

"It's no problem, Anita-san; Yuni is an important friend to each and every one of us."

All the children took their attention off with intruders for a single second to nod their heads and mutter agreements.

Anita smiled then switched over to Italian again. "Thank you…and don't you all think it's time you let your great-great-great grandparents into the room?"


There, they met, so now you can't say anything. And also, you guys are damn lucky I'm writing these A/N s right now; just woke up after catching a red-eye flight home from a trip. On that trip, I was subjected to my mother and my little sister cornering me at the window seat. For three hours. Thanks a lot big guy up there; you sure know how to tick off teenagers!

Please review for me! I like knowing what you guys think!
