Tsunami leans her head back into a fluffy white pillow. She breathes softly. Her pillow is gently fluff and Tsunami opens her eyes halfway.

"Mmm, thank you."

"You're welcome, boss. Um, are you sure you should make this trip?"

"I'll be fine, Chrome. All I'll be doing is sleeping during the flight to Italy. And sleep some more in Italy as well."

"But, you had surgery on your head, boss!"

"I'll be fine. Don't worry. You too, Xanxus."

Xanxus sat in a chair with his arms crossed. He looks over his shades and stares at her.

"I'm not worried. I'm not fussing over you."

Xanxus had kept her hospital room from getting any visitors except for Nana, Chrome and Shamal (under supervision). For the first couple of days after implanting the device Tsunami slept for days. When she had woken up the first person she saw was her mother. Nana was happy to see her finally awakened. Nana explained to Tsunami Shamal's story that there was a small tumor in her head. It wasn't harmful but they removed it anyway. Nana mentioned that it was a shame that Tsunami's hair had to be cut completely! She added that regretted cutting her hair so much that he wept.

Tsunami's hair was cropped but had grew back a fair amount during her days asleep. She looked like a boy!

She returned home and her guardians were there waiting for her. Hayato had found Chrome and had brought her to see Tsunami. Tsunami asked Chrome to go to Italy with her. Tsunami didn't tell her the real reason, but Chrome dutifully accepted to go with her. At the mention of her trip, her guardians once again begged her not to go or at least take them with her. Before they could question or protest any further shots were fired at them. Tsunami tiredly looked over to scold Xanxus but remembered that Xanxus didn't have his weapons. Instead she saw Reborn! Reborn was smirking as reminded the guardians that Tsunami was their boss and what she says goes and they shouldn't complain.

That was that. There was no longer any complaints. Tsunami was happy to see Reborn again. It felt odd not having the little cursed infant by her side. She felt she was becoming complete again. The night she returned from the hospital, Reborn sat on her bed with her as she prepared to go to sleep.

"Tsunami."

"Mmm? Yes, Reborn."

"...I'm sorry."

"...!"

Reborn apologized to her! Tsunami had smiled and blushed as she forgave him in return. Whether she was moved by his apology or the strong medication Tsunami reached for Reborn and drew him into her arms and sighs. She was truly whole now. She had her guardians and her dear tutor back, plus Xanxus.

Tsunami, Reborn, Chrome and Xanxus now at the airport waiting on a flight. Tsunami was in a wheelchair with Reborn in her lap. Shamal encouraged Tsunami to stay at home a little longer. But Tsunami insisted on going to Italy as soon as possible. Reborn was comfortable in Tsunami's lap but he couldn't help but wonder about his student's urgency to go to Italy. He decided not to push her into telling him about her reason...until she was completely healed. He owed her that much. He hated owing people favors, but he owed Tsunami big time for treating her heart so lightly. Reborn felt that he should punish himself along with the guardians. He couldn't handle Tsunami's heart and resigned himself of be nothing more to being Tsunami's tutor and future employee when she becomes the Tenth Boss of the Vongola. It wasn't like Tsunami was going to see him anymore than a homicidal, Spartan baby hitman.

"Dame-Tsuna, going to the Varia Headquarters while healing from an extreme surgery is perhaps the stupidest idea that you have come with." That didn't stop him from voicing his opinion though.

"Stop worrying so much. Tsunami will be fine because she belongs to me." Xanxus declares.

"Hmph," Reborn smirks. "Correction, you belong to her. You fell for her like a body being tossed into a river weighed by rocks." He looks up at Tsunami. "Such power you have over your men, Tsunami!"

"Reborn." Tsunami blushes.

Xanxus glares at Reborn. Tsunami had no power over him! He wasn't one of Tsunami's love-stricken puppies that followed her around everywhere she went! If anything, Tsunami came to him and HE decided to have Tsunami.

"She doesn't have any power over me! Tch, where's our jet?" Xanxus growls looking through terminal.

"Jet?" Asks Tsunami, frowning.

"Don't tell me, Tsuna, that you thought we were riding commercial?"

"..." Tsunami was stunned...and she was growing tired from the shock and lets her head sink further into her pillow.

"XANXUS~! Honeeeey!~"

"BOSS!"

"VOI! We were looking everywhere for you..."

Squalo, Lussaria and Levi had arrived and were approaching them. They were in their usual Varia uniform. Levi was walking with a long stride ahead of Squalo and Lussaria. Levi reaches Xanxus and he stood in front of him.

"BOSS, please forgive me for not being there for you! Lussaria, Lussaria had me restrained. I'm sorry, Boss!" Levi moans, looking down at the floor.

"Shut up, trash." Growls Xanxus.

"VOOOI! You ungrateful ogre!" Squalo screams.

"Hey, hey, boss! Did you enjoy your stay in Japan~!" Lussaria giggles.

Lussaria looks at Tsunami and gasps cover his mouth. Squalo and Levi took notice of Tsunami, Reborn and Chrome and frown.

"Hey, what is SHE doing here, Xanxus?" Asks Squalo.

"Boss! What did you do to Tsunami! Did you have to be so rough!"

"Eh?" Tsuna blinks.

"Tch, we haven't gotten that far...yet." Xanxus smirks at Tsunami.

Tsunam blushes at the smirk and is reminded of her intimate encounter with his future self. The Xanxus of the future had mentioned that they were very involved. Levi looks between Xanxus and Tsunami and frowns.

"What are you saying, boss?" Levi asks in uncertainty.

Xanxus gets up from his seat.

"You trashes are late. Hurry up and get us to the jet so I can get out this place. Hey, start pushing!"

"R-right!" Said Chrome and she pushes the wheelchair.

"I shouldn't have to explain myself to you scum, I am the boss of the Varia and I can do whatever the hell I want. Tsunami is coming to Italy with us. She had surgery in her head and wanted to come home with me to rest."

Squalo and Levi stare at Xanxus as he walks away from them. They mechanically turn their heads to Lussaria who was giggling and barely containing his unmanly squeals of excitement.

"I did it! I did it! It worked! It so totally worked! I can't wait to get home and tell the news to my boys! Eeeeee~!"

"No...way..." Levi whimpers.

"Xanxus, are you serious?" Squalo runs after him.

"Tsunami is my girl. Whatever she wants and asks for you will do it as if I ordered you to do it myself. Got it?" Xanxus gives Squalo a warning glare.

On the jet, Tsunami was surprised at the grandeur inside the jet. The beautiful royal red of the walls with embroidered gold art nouveau design with a deeper red carpet floor screaming richness! The seats looked more like loveseats and there was even a chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

"It's not all that great, close your mouth," Said Xanxus.

Tsunami looks up at Xanxus and he lifts her from her wheelchair. Levi and Squalo stare as their boss held his supposed rival close to his chest. The rival gently rests her head beneath his chin, her eyes half-lidded with incoming drowsiness. Briefly, just briefly Xanuxs nuzzles Tsunami lightly. Behind them Lussaria smiles and giggles behind his hand as they watched with disbelief of their...affectionate boss. Xanxus looks at Chrome and makes a indication with his head at the window seat.

"Hey, girl, take the window."

Chrome nods, scurries to the window and sits down. When she had sat down Xanxus puts Tsunami down in the middle seat. Xanxus drops into the third seat. He puts his chair back and snaps his fingers.

"Squalo, get me something to drink."

Tsunami leans her head against Xanxus' shoulder and sighs. Levi narrows his eyes at Tsunami and sits in his seat folding his arms. Squalo returns with a shot glass and hands it to Xanxus. Chrome gives Tsunami a little shake.

"Boss, would you like something too?" Chrome asks.

"VOI!" Squalo startles Chrome and Tsunami who was dozing off. "I don't take orders from..."

Xanxus quickly snatches the glass and smashes the glass upside Squalo's head. Squalo yells and glares at his boss.

"Trash!" Growls Xanxus. "Get her some water!"

"Huh, but...Boss!"

"Did you just 'but' me! I don't like repeating myself! Get Tsunami some water! If she or her guardian ask for anything else you do it like it's a order from me!"

Squalo growls and turns his head. "Fine, whatever..."

"Get the water and get me another drink, you trash."

Squalo goes to get Xanxus another drink and Tsunami some water. As he passes Lussaria he glares at him.

"This is your fault! Xanxus caters to that Vongola brat now!"

"Oh, Squalo-honey," Lussaria sighs. "The boss would be so much happier like this and life would be a little better for us. Besides, you might grow to like our future big Boss."

Squalo snorts and mutters under his breath. "Fat chance!"

Reborn watches the attitudes displayed of the three main member of the Varia. Xanxus' right-hand was of course against his boss being with the Vongola heir that "stolen" his boss' birthright. Levi was envious of Xanxus' attention given to Tsunami. Levi admired his boss just like Hayato admired Tsunami and didn't like anyone who had Xanxus' attention. Levi was like a child jealous of a new sibling in the family.

---

Tsunami was rather grateful that she was half-way out of it. She slept through the entire flight as she expected. The jet landed in Italy close to midnight and there was a limo waiting for them. The driver's eyes were wide with shock when Xanxus himself picked Tsunami up out of the wheelchair and placed her in the back. When Tsunami was settled Xanxus glared at the driver and growed. The driver immediately and quickly jumped into the driver's seat.

Having rested the most during the flight, Tsunami was wide awake. She sat between Chrome and Xanxus with Reborn sitting in her lap. Squalo, Lussaria and Levi sat across them. Lussaria sat directly in front of Tsunami and smiles.

"I'm so glad that you decided to come home with the Boss, Tsunami-chan! Can I call you that?" Chirps Lussaria.

"N-no, I don't mind," Said Tsunami.

"Tsk, tsk, don't be so nervous I don't bite! Since I can call you Tsunami-chan you can call me big sis!"

Tsunami blinks.

"Big sis?"

"Please~!" Lussaria pouts.

"O-okay."

"Yay!" Lussaria throws his hands up happily.

Xanxus sighs.

"Hey, quit annoying her."

"It's okay, Xanxus." Said Tsunami.

Lussaria seemed not to have any hard feelings over the Ring battles. Lussaria seemed happy that she and Xanxus were together and that she was here. However...Squalo and Levi weren't too happy. Squalo looked ready to throw a tantrum. But Xanxus made it clear that it would be none of that with her in their presence. She was sure that there was going to be huge talk when she and Chrome are settled in. Tsunami sighs. Maybe coming with Xanxus was a bad idea. Reborn thought to himself that this was going to be a test for Tsunami, to earn the Varia's respect and trust. It was probably not going to be easy.

Xanxus left Tsunami and her company with an older male servant as he went on to reluctantly hear his right-hand's complaint in private.

Tsunami and Chrome were led through the main personal wing of the head Varia members by the servant. Tsunami and Chrome traveled fairly light with only a bag each which the manservant carried. Tsunami and Chrome noticed that the servant was an older man with slickened black hair with a stripe of gray on the left side of his hair. His eyes were a sharp gray, reminding Tsunami of a certain perfect back home, a monocle over his left eye...and had few scars on his face. Tsunami shivered. The servant looks at Tsunami. She looks down into her lap.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare...it must be rough...serving the Varia..."

The servant stares at Tsunami and slowly grins.

"It's not bad at all. Keeps me on my toes and my body strong and limber. I have been a member of the Varia before Xanxus took over."

"Eeeh? You've been in the Varia that long...and you can understand me?"

"Heh, we Varia have been all over the world and many of us speak different languages...including Japanese. I have been here for a long time. Most servants here are older members that are retired from the frontlines of our...business."

Just as they were passing a door, the servant turns his head and nods to it.

"That is Prince Belphegor's room...up ahead...three doors down is Levi...another three doors and you have Lussaria...another few doors...Squalo and..." The servant smirks at Tsunami. "Xanxus' room is on the other side of the wing for himself."

Tsunami blushes at the servant's knowing smile. They stop at a door right next door to Lussaria.

"I believe I shall put you beside Lussaria, since he's a little more friendlier and welcoming to your presence."

He opens the door and Chrome pushes Tsunami inside.

The room was huge. The room was...amazing.

It was a warm gray with fine, detailed wallpaper with pearly white designs of curls and twists of patterns. There was a large bed that very large enough for Tsunami and Chrome. The floor was stone with large rug of something black and furry. A fireplaces was in the corner of the room but it looked like it hadn't been used in years. The man walks up to a wardrobe, sets their luggage aside and opens the wardrobe making it groan lowly. Inside the huge wardrobe revealing it was empty except for some hangars. He walks to pair of curtains that touch the floor and the ceiling. He flings them apart letting the setting sun's light flood into the room.

"Well, this is your room. If you need anything just let any of the servants nearby know...ah, my name is Aldobrandino. You may call me simply Aldo if that is too much for you. Have a good evening, Lady Vongola," He bows and leaves shutting the door behind him.

Reborn hops off of Tsunami's lap and onto the bed. Tsunami moves to get up from her chair. Tsunami stumbles slightly and Chrome catches.

"Ah, boss!" Chrome calls.

"Uh...guess I am still not strong enough to walk...I'm getting dizzy..." Tsunami

"I'll take you to the bed."

Chrome and Tsunami walk to the bed and Chrome helps Tsunami sit. Tsunami grips her head. Reborn looks at Tsunami from the bed. He pushes down by her arm.

"Dame-Tsuna, take it slow."

"Hmmm," Tsunami replies, nodding.

Tsunami looks out the window.

"Never would of thought that I would be in the Varia headquarters."

"Hm, I didn't think you would be here so soon," Said Reborn. "It seems that the Varia find you being here as either being a nuisance or amusing."

Tsunami sighs. "Squalo-san and Levi-san didn't seem too happy that Xanxus and I are together."

"Not in the way they pictured it," Said Reborn. "They didn't think that it was possible for their Xanxus to fall for you."

"Xanxus did tell me that he thought he would get me to love him so he could manipulate me to control the Vongola for him."

Reborn arches a brow at Tsunami. "Oh? He told you what his objectives are?"

"Yes, a little later after...we somehow..." Tsunami blushes.

"Fell in love with Xanxus?" Chromes completes Tsunami's sentence.

Tsunami nods. Chrome crawls up behind Tsunami to lie on her stomach and talks into her ear.

"Boss? I'm confused...didn't you love Mukuro-sama, and the others?"

"...yes, I love them and Xanxus."

Reborn watches Tsunami and looks towards the window. Chrome blinks her eye.

"You love Mukuro-sama, Xanxus and everyone? You're amazing boss!"

Tsunami was so caring and full of love to open her heart to so many who wished for her love. Chrome smiles admiring at her boss.

"...I'm not that impressive...I just...I just love them that all and I need them just as they need me."

"I see. That encourages me."

Tsunami turns her head to Chrome. "What do you mean?"

Chrome blushes and looks at the sheets and plucks at it. She looks up and whispers into Tsunami's ear. She pulls away and blushes harder.

"Eeeeeehhh?"

Chrome giggles.

---

"VOOOOOOI! You got to be kidding me, Xanxus! You're in love with that girl! The girl that's stole your right to the Vongola!"

Xanxus glares at Squalo.

"Yes, I'm in love with the brat. Couldn't help it," Xanxus shrugs.

"It must of made you feel good when she clung to you during her time of need when her own guardians broke her heart!" Lussaria squeals.

Squalo looks at Lussaria. "Huh?"

"Shishishi, little Vongola brat and her guardians had a fight? Doesn't seem like all is lost. Perhaps she's on our side now?"

"No, she and her guardians made up now. Tsunami decided that instead of choosing one...she's going to love all her guardians and me."

The Varia our stunned into silence. Squalo stares at Xanxus eyes wide. Levi had his mouth and eyes wide open. Mammon's expression was indifferent. Bel was quiet for about a minute and he starts to snicker.

"Kinky!" Bel continues to snicker.

"Oh, that naughty girl!" Lussaria giggles and blushes in excitement.

Xanxus smirks. These guys didn't really understand. Well, perhaps Lussaria does deep down. Tsunami was a loving girl that can open her heart to those who wanted to be loved by her. Xanxus was amazed that her love for him...was what he needed.

"VOIIIIIIII! What sick shit is that!"

"Boss should be the only one that girl should be devoted to!" Yells Levi. "If she suppose to love you she shouldn't whor..."

Xanxus takes his gun off safety and points it dead-center at Levi's head. His eyes flashed brightly with inner-rage.

"This conversation is over! You can bitch and complain all you want...I am not getting rid of Tsunami! And let me tell you something! Any of you do or say anything that makes her upset...you'll be crapping lead out of your ass for the rest of your life. Now leave me alone, before I actually kill you. Finding and replacing one of you will be a hassle."

Most of the Varia casually walked out of the room, Lussaria, Belphegor and Mammon. Squalo and Levi stiff with anger or confusion followed them out the door. When they were a distance away from Xanxus' office, Squalo ruffles his hair and roars in frustration. Levi sobs and slumps his shoulders depressed. Lussaria laughs and spins around in the hall. Bel snickers.

"So, the Lady Vongola is making a harem and has added the boss to her collection. He seems pretty okay with it!" Snickers Bel.

"That idiot! That stupid idiot!" Yells Squalo.

Lussaria waves at Squalo, "Hey, Hey, Squalo!~ Boss could still hear you!"

"There is nothing profitable in that strange relationship. It seems Xanxus is no closer than taking over the Vongola than he was before...yet he has her around. Not that I care. It's none of my business."

Lussaria coughs into his hand lightly and holds his hand out in front of Mammon.

"Ahem, speaking of profit..." He curls his hand. "Pay up!~"

Mammon growls and hands over a wad of cash to Lussaria. Lussaria squeals.

"Definitely, no profit at all!" Mammon disappears.

Levi walks away with a cloud hanging over his head.

Squalo goes into the direction of the training hall to work out his anger.

Lussaria goes to prepare dinner for them.

Belphegor walks down the hall, with his hands up and cupping the back of his head. He snickers his snarky laugh.

"Interesting...little lady Vongola...belonging to many men? Hmmm, how can the Prince get in on the fun? Shishishishishi!"

Tsunami woke up to Chrome putting away their clothes into the wardrobe. She had just finished putting her clothes away and making a move to open Tsunami's suitcase. Tsunami pouts.

"I'm sorry you have to do the work for me, Chrome."

Chrome shook her head. She rolls the suitcase near the wardrobe and kneels down to open it.

"It's no problem, boss. Please, just focus on getting well again."

Tsunami moans in reply. She looks at her side, seeing Reborn drinking a cup of espresso while leaning against her. Tsunami frowns in confusion at that. Since when was Reborn so...close to her? Tsunami smiles a little. It was rather nice to have Reborn like this. Tsunami buries her face in the deep, soft pillow.

"AH!" Chrome gives out a short, loud cry.

Tsunami lifts her head quickly startled and regretted the quick motion with a wave of nausea coming over her from head to toe. She groans but her concern for Chrome pushes through the sickness.

"C-Chrome, what's wrong?"

Chrome had Tsunami's suitcase was open and Chrome swiftly picked out of the clothes...an unconscious Lambo...that looked about to die. Tsunami's eyes widen.

"Lambo-chan!" She gasps. "How?"

Reborn sips out of his cup. "Hm, it seems we have a stowaway. Lambo must have managed to crawl into your suitcase."

"But, why didn't airport security pick him out?"

"...perhaps it has something to do with the electricity inside his body that he managed to be undetected by the sensors..." Explained Reborn.

"Hiiiii?...Chrome! Is Lambo okay! Lambo-chan!"

Lambo was revived and after a crying session that lasted eight and a half minutes with Reborn finally having enough and threatened to blast a hole into Lambo's head he quieted down and was given a piece of his own candy. Lambo sucks on the candy in Chrome's lap. Tsunami stares at Lambo in disbelief. Reborn left the room, deciding to catch up with Mammon...and to get away from Lambo until it was time for bed. Tsunami sighs.

"Lambo, what are you doing here?"

"*smack, smack*Lambo-san wanted to come home with Tsuna-nee!"

"Oh, you wanted to come home?" Asks Tsunami, and she suddenly recalls that Lambo did have family here in Italy...

"Uh, huh...and...uh?" Lambo goes into a thought.

"Hm? Tsunami and Chrome blink.

"Uuuuh...there was another thing...but, Lambo-san forgot!" Lambo laughs.

Tsunami sighs. There was a knock and the maid was outside bringing them dinner. They thanked the maid and dug in. After dinner, Chrome prepared a bath for them. Tsunami feels guilty for having Chrome do the work but Chrome told Tsunami it was fine. Tsunami felt rested enough to take a bath and is helped into the bathroom. She immediately goes into the practiced task of pulling objects out of Lambo's hair. After digging out the usual, Tsunami comes across a piece of paper. It was addressed, "To Myself". Tsunami shows the folded paper to Lambo.

"Lambo, what is this?" Tsunami asks.

Lambo studies the paper and points out. "AH! Lambo-san now remembers! Tail-head and Fuuta-ni completely forgot to tell you about the other secret note from Big Tsuna-nee! But Lambo-san remembered so he decided to come with you and surprise you. Lambo-san wanted to show you that he was smart and not forgetful like the others!" Lambo puffs his chest out and picks his nose.

Tsunami sighs and pushes Lambo's hand from his nose and open the letter. She squints at the letter and reads. She stares at the letter for a long time till at last even Lambo notices.

"Tsuna-nee?" Lambo looks up at her. He pokes at her stomach through the towel wrapped around her body. "Tsuna-nee? What's wrong?"

Tsunami makes a move, to rub her eyes and she holds the letter with both hands. She begins to tremble.

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

There was a sound of thudding on the floor by Chrome.

"Boss! Is everything okay?" Chrome knocks on the door.

"Dame-Tsuna, what are you yelling about? Are you trying to split your own head open?"

"Eh...e-everything's fine! I'm fine! I'm okay!" Tsunami was still trembling and blushing like mad. "I...I just, Lambo did something gross! I'm okay!"

"Lambo-san did not!" Lambo argues.

Tsunami and Lambo bathed and were in bed. Reborn was in his pajamas as well along with Chrome. Lambo claimed that he wanted to sleep in Tsunami's arms and Reborn could sleep at the foot of the bed. Reborn kicked him off the bed and Lambo started crying. Tsunami cradles Lambo in her arms and his cries die down to whimpers and sniffles till Lambo closed his eyes and falls asleep clinging to Tsunami's top. Chrome was asleep as well as Reborn with a snot bubble growing and shrinking. He was lying on his back between Tsunami and Chrome. Tsunami had her back turned with Lambo away from Reborn. She was still wide awake, thinking about the letter. It was a letter that was written to be read later, probably hidden somewhere for Tsunami to find back home...but the kids were aware of it and somehow forgotten about it. Tsunami couldn't believe what she read. It was a simple sentence...from her adult-self...

Reborn...the hitman baby tutor...was in love with her!

---

That new piece of information wore Tsunami out to sleep in more. The only time she became awake was when Chrome awoke her for meals, when Tsunami needed to go to the restroom and to take baths. Chrome and Reborn watched over Tsunami in shifts giving one another breaks. Xanxus, when not working in the office or attending meetings would visit Tsunami around lunch or dinner. He would have Chrome leave them alone and sometimes was able to run off Reborn and Lambo so he could be completely alone with Tsunami. He would just merely sit beside her and read his paper or take a nap along with her.

He was even seen by a servant feeding Tsunami sometimes.

Tsunami rested for five days and one early morning, Tsunami felt like taking a walk.

It had been two week since the surgery. Five days at the hospital, two days at home preparing for her trip to Italy and a week within the headquarters of the Varia. She felt ready to take some steps on her own. Tsunami slipped out of the bed and carefully cradled Lambo into the bed closer to Chrome. She watches Lambo and Chrome and smiles. Then her eyes rested on Reborn. She blushes at the little hitman. She couldn't believe that her tutor was in love with her. It was...weird on so many levels!

Tsunami quietly exits the room and looks both ways slowly down the hall. She was amazed that they weren't bothered. The servants (former active members of the Varia) were too busy doing their cleaning and cooking, the other members including the main Varia were either training, on missions or knew better than to mess with Tsunami under the possibility of getting killed by Xanxus or running into Reborn during his watch.

Perhaps...maybe coming out here, by herself, wasn't a good idea. But, she really wanted to do something to show Chrome, Reborn and Xanxus for being so patient with her and caring for her. She wanted to make them breakfast. Well, she looks to her left and goes pass three doors coming to Lussaria's door. She raises her hand and taps the door. She looks around hoping the knocking didn't disturb anybody. Tsunami didn't hear anything from inside Lussaria's room however. She taps the door a little harder. On the last knock the door opens with Lussaria in a white long-sleeved shirt, semi-tight black pants, pink slippers and of course his sunglasses. He was yawning and looks down noticing Tsunami.

"Ah! Good morning, Tsunami-chaaan~! Oh, you're up and walking, that's good."

"G-good morning, ane-san. Um, are you going to the kitchen?"

"Yes I am, dear~! Want to come with me and help?"

Tsunami nods. "Yes, I do, if that's okay?"

"It's more than okay, dearie! I've always wanted a cute little helper! Let's go!"

They start their way to the kitchen. Tsunami asks Lussaria if he didn't mind if she makes some Japanese dishes for breakfast.

Xanxus never complained about breakfast back in Japan.

Lussaria was stunned. Sometimes he himself had to cook Xanxus meals when the cooks cooked for him. Tsunami wasn't surprised that Xanxus was a picky-eater after all. Lussaria showed Tsunami an Italian breakfast. It was just as simple as an Italian breakfast some bread, coffee, espresso mostly and pastries. Tsunami took to the pastries and paid close attention to the espresso. Since Reborn loved his espresso very much.

Xanxus and the Varia were the large dining room far apart from each other at a long table.

"Breakfast will be out in a few seconds boys~!"

Xanxus snorts. He leans back against his chair, folding his arms.

"He's cheerier than usual this morning," He growls.

"...good morning, Xanxus."

Xanxus turns his head and sees Tsunami carrying a tray of coffee and milk. He was surprised and he frowns.

"What the hell are you doing out here?"

Tsunami sets the tray down. She clasps her hands together and she bows her head.

"I-I'm feeling better today...I wanted to make breakfast so I helped Lussaria."

Xanxus sighs and waves his hand.

"Fine. I guess that means breakfast will be decent then."

Tsunami smiles. She looks down the table.

"Uh..." Fidgets. "G-good morning."

The Varia stare at her. Tsunami shifts about nervously and backs into the kitchen to help Lussaria set out the rest of the food. The meals brought in was the Varia's usual breakfast along with the Japanese breakfast. Tsunami meets Aldobrandino again.

"G-good morning, Aldo...san?"

"Hmhm, morning Lady Vongola," Aldo bows. "You're walking now. That's good."

"Thank you...um, if it's not too much trouble...could you let Chrome, Reborn and Lambo know that dinner is in the dining room today?"

"Yes, Lady Vongola." Aldo bows again.

"Thank you, Aldo-san."

Tsunami returns to the dining room and stumbles a little, catching herself.

"Tsunami-chan, are you okay?" Lussaria gasps.

"Oh...I'm fine! It's just me being my clumsy self!" Tsunami waves.

Xanxus drags a chair close to him and points down at it. "Sit down and eat with me, stupid!"

Tsunami sits beside Xanxus and breakfast starts. Levi glares at Tsunami for so sitting close to the boss. Levi doesn't touch the Japanese breakfast. Bel tries a little of it...but it wasn't to his taste. Neither it was for Squalo. Mammon didn't mind so much, food was food and it was something different. Xanxus showed that he had no complaints eating both the usual meal with the Japanese meal.

"Yaaaaay! Breakfast!" Lambo runs into the dining room and hops into Tsunami's lap. He starts gobbling food from Tsunami's plate!

"Morning, Lambo," Tsunami sighs.

"Worning, nm-chwan!"

"Brat, get your own plate!"

Lambo blinks at Xanuxs and showed his food to him. Xanxus raises his hand. Tsunami gasps and closes Lambo's mouth putting a hand beneath his chin.

"Lambo! Don't do that!"

"Good...morning, boss." Greets Chrome coming through the door. Reborn was in Chrome's arms.

"Morning, Chrome."

"Dame-Tsuna, what are you doing way out here?" Asks Reborn.

"I-I was feeling better, Reborn. I helped Lussaria..."

Lussaria coughs.

"...I helped...ane-san with breakfast."

"Are you sure you're okay, boss?" Asks Chrome.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Weeeell~! Since, Tsunami-chan is feeling better...I'm going to take you shopping!"

"...shopping...?" Tsunami sighs. "Well, since...since I probably be needing something to see grandpa in..."

"Hm? You're going to see the Ninth?" Lussaria cocks his head.

"Y-yes, I have something to ask him...it's...very important." Tsunami explains little.

Everyone was looking at her. They wonder what was so important that Tsunami would come to Italy to the Ninth besides to heal.

"Well, then you're going to need something really nice to see him in. Let's go after we clean up for breakfast!~"

"We should find something nice for Chrome too." Said Tsunami.

"Eh? N-no, boss. You don't have to!" Chrome waves her hand and shakes her head.

"Xanxus, you have meeting today..." Said Levi.

"Hmph, when?" Asks Xanxus.

"Er, a hour from now."

"Tsk, you know I hate meetings in the morning..."

Xanxus gets up from the table and ruffles Tsunami's hair gently.

"Thanks for breakfast."

Tsunami closes her eyes

"Gah!" Shouts Squalo.

Xanxus ignores Squalo.

"Hey, Lussaria! If you're going to go shopping for something nice for Tsunami. Make sure it's something like a short skirt...and stockings, preferably thigh-high leggings." Xanxus throws over his shoulder as he leaves the room.

The Varia gawked. Lussaria giggles and salutes the boss.

"You got it, boss! Short skirts and stockings...preferably thigh-high leggings!"

"XANXUS!" Tsunami blushes.

Bel grins slyly. "Short skirts...and stockings...shishishishi..."

---

The limo was prepared and Aldo was accompanying them. Lussaria was shuffling the girls out the front door.

"Yay, car ride in the big, long car!" Cheers Lambo.

Aldo opens the door and Lambo leaps inside...and leaps back out screaming. Lambo jumps right back out and rushes into Tsunami's arms wailing.

"SCARY!"

"Huh, what's scary?" Asks Tsunami.

Lussaria, Tsunami and Chrome peered into the backseat of the limo and see Bel. Bel was very comfortable slouched against the seat. He wiggles his fingers in a wave.

"The prince has decided to accompany the maidens on their shopping trip."

Tsunami and Lambo whimper. Reborn watches Bel with suspicion. Lussaria smiles.

"Oh, the more the merrier! Hop in everyone!"

"Um, Lussaria...uh..." Chrome starts...

"Ane-san!" Lussaria corrects.

"..."

Lussaria has the girls, Reborn and Lambo sit across from himself and Belphegor. Tsunami kept her head down looking on the top of Lambo's head to keep from looking at the Ripper sitting across from her grinning like a Cheshire cat.

The limo takes them through the countryside and Tsunami, Chrome and Lambo focus on the beautiful Italian landscape. The forests slide into fields and sparsely situated little homes dotted around the fields and then they were finally in the city. Most of the buildings were old reminding Tsunami of the scenes from movies and magazines of Italy. She thinks about Hayato and smiles. Hayato would probably wanted to explain the history behind every building and take her to certain spots of beauty. The limo arrives in from of boutique. It looked very rich and classy. Aldo opens their door and Lussaria squeals excitedly pushing the girls into the high-class clothing store. The saleswoman inside greets Lussaria excitedly.

They held each other's shoulders and kissed each other on both sides of their cheeks. They speak to one another in Italian and looked over at Tsunami and Chrome. Lussaria speaks something else and the woman gasps and stares at Tsunami. Tsunami blinks. The saleswoman becomes flustered and after some talking quickly leads them further back into the store. In the back of the store the clothes became fancier and finer. There was a section of jewelry inside large crystal displays. They were some of the biggest, shiniest jewelry that Tsunami and Chrome had ever seen!

"That's a big diamond..." Said Tsunami. Chrome nods her head speechless.

Reborn smirks at the girls' awe.

"When you inherit the Vongola and become the official boss you can shop here and get anything you want. Not a bad deal, eh?"

"Why would I need a huge diamond the size of a baseball!..." Tsunami giggles. "Gee, I can see it now...Lambo running around with it and somehow Takeshi gets his hands on it and thinks it is a baseball..."

"...hmmm?" Reborn thinks.

"That would be a very expensive baseball." Said Chrome.

"It would of have gone with the wind." Reborn says seriously.

Lussaria and the saleswoman were about the store together gathering clothes.

"Um, Reborn, do you have any idea what's going on?" Asks Tsunami.

"Lussaria told the woman that you are the heir of the Vongola Family." Said Reborn.

"He told her that!"

"Mm, this is just to be sure you get the best of their merchandise."

"They...don't have to go that far...everything in this store looks nice..."

"Tsunami-chaaan~! Chrome-chaaaan~! We're ready for you twoooo!"

Chrome becomes surprised. "Eh? N-no! I shouldn't!"

The saleswoman says something in Italian and tugs Chrome into the dressing room. Lussaria takes Tsunami and pulls her into a room.

"A-ane-san! Um, I know that...you don't look at girls but...I think I want to dress myself okay!"

"Oh, no problem!" Lussaria laughs. "Don't hesitate to call if you need any help."

Lambo was sitting on the floor unnoticed playing with golden bra with black lacing. He puts it on top of his head and laughs. Tsunami reaches for it and takes it away. The dressing room...was indeed a large room. But the "stall" for an individual was the room. There were mirrors that cover an entire wall, a golden, antique-looking rack and studio lights.

"Lambo-chan, don't play with that, it hasn't been bought!"

Lambo pouts and folds his arms.

"Fine, Lambo-san's going to find something fun to do outside! Blegh!"

Lambo runs out of the dressing room.

Tsunami stood in a lavender bra and panties holding the bra out in front of her. She hates to admit it but thanks to Hana and the shopping trip back home with Xanxus, she has taking a liking to the fancy, lacy bras and panties. They looked nice and the good stuff at the shop they were in was much comfortable than the normal underclothes. Tsunami sighs, she was really getting too comfortable with this rather quickly. She reaches back and unsnaps her bra.

"That's a nice color on you, shishishi."

Tsunami squeaks and grabs the closest article of clothing to cover herself before turning around.

"W-wh-what are you doing in here?" Tsunami cries.

"Shishishi," Bel approaches Tsunami.

Tsunami backs up against the wall. Bel snickers quietly and braces his hands on the wall hovering over Tsunami. Tsunami looks down as Bel leans his face forward. He smells her hair and grins.

"Hmmm, you have a nice scent in your hair." He breathes in again. "Hmmm, it's not as strong as the other girls. Some of that junk smells too strong and chokes me. Yours is very light, minty. Makes me want to...taste you, shishishishishi..."

"Mmmmm!" Tsunami whines and whimpers shrinking away from him.

"P-please, Bel-san..."

"Ah, ah, ah! It's your Highness! Or at least, 'Bel-sama'!"

CLICK.

"Belphegor."

Reborn was pointing his gun through the curtain. Bel snickers.

"Oh, hello, Reborn. You're interrupting me."

"My apologies," Reborn replied. "Now, let's get you out of there before you get kicked out the store."

"Hmph, fine," Bel faces Tsunami and lifts her chin. "I want in. I want to be on your list."

"Belphegor," Warns Reborn.

"I-I think you should go." Said Tsunami.

Bel turns her face and pecks her on the cheek. Tsunami flinches. Bel snickers and walks out of the dressing room. Tsunami slumps to the floor and breathes out in relief.

"Tsunami, you idiot, are you all right?" Asks Reborn.

"Y-yes, Reborn."

"Try to be more careful next time. He had no right to be in there, so it was okay to get him below the belt."

"Er, yes. I'll try to remember that." Tsunami looks up, seeing Reborn's silhouette behind the curtain.

Tsunami crawls up to the curtain and slips the shirt that she grabbed on. She reaches out and picks up Reborn, pulls him into the room and hugs him.

"Thank you, Reborn."

Reborn blinks in surprise. She lets Reborn go. Reborn straightens his tie and fedora and walks out. She takes a breath and gets up from the ground. She shakes her head and starts trying on the clothes again.

She tries on several outfits and shows them off. Lussaria eyes each outfit critically. Out of most of the outfits he only approved of two so far and placed those two aside. Reborn had Bel on close surveillance...with his gun pointed at his head.

Tsunami was back in the dressing room. She took the outfit off and looked at the last one. It was very nice and elegant. The outfit was made up of a white long-sleeved shirt that was a little puffy around the shoulders. A pullover vest with a dark gray back and on the front were gray and white diamond checkers. There was a black skirt and white thigh-length leggings that had flowery, leafy patterns on them. At the top of the each legging was a black ribbon to tighten around the legs so the leggings wouldn't fall down. Tsunami slips the leggings on and ties the ribbons around each thigh securely. Just as she finished tying the last ribbon, Lussaria sticks his hand through the curtain holding his cellphone. Tsunami squeaks.

"Xanxus is on the phone~!" Lussaria giggles.

"Uh, I'm busy?"

"GET ON THE PHONE, BRAT!"

"HII!"

Tsunami takes the phone and puts it against her ear.

"H-hello...Xanxus?"

"Hmph, hey."

"Is...the meeting over now?"

"Yeah, it was just stupid crap. Nothing to remember."

"Ah, I see..." Said Tsunami.

Xanxus chuckles. "What are you wearing right now?"

"...eh?"

".?"

Tsunami blushes and looks at herself in the mirrors.

"Um...I...I...I'm wearing..." She gulps and reddens. "I'm wearing...I'm in my...underwear..." She whispers.

"What? Speak up."

"I'm in my underwear."

Tsunami could see his grin, baring his teeth.

"Ohhh, what color?"

"L-lavender...and it's the lacy kind."

"Is that all?"

"I'm also..." She touches her leggings. "I'm wearing leggings."

"White?"

"Y-yes. With ribbons at the top to keep them up."

"Very nice."

Tsunami blushes.

"Pervert..."

"Heh, what are wearing with that?"

"A white shirt with long-sleeves, a vest and a black skirt."

"It's short right?"

"..." Tsunami sighs. "Yes, it's short."

"Sounds like a winner."

"Yes, I think I like this one too."

"So, put it on?"

"But, I'm talking to you." Tsunami frown.

"Heh, heh...tell me what your putting on as you put them on."

"...hii?" Tsunami squeaks.

---

"Oh, why or why did you cut your luscious locks, Tsunami-chaaan~!" Lussaria mourns.

Lussaria had Tsunami and Chrome in his room, which they were impressed by his sense of taste and home-decorating and flower arrangements. They were in Lussaria's luxurious bathroom. Tsunami sat on a stool getting her shortened hair styled by Lussaria. Lussaria lightly grazes the healing scar on her head causing Tsunami to flinch a little.

"I did it for...Mukuro."

Lussaria pauses and Chrome stares at Tsunami. "What do you mean, boss?"

"When I was in the future, it was very sad there and Mukuro was getting himself further into danger. There was device made for him to keep him in control. I took the device back with me to this time and had put it inside my head."

"Tsunami-chan!" Gasps Lussaria.

"Boss!"

Tsunami touches her head. "I'm doing this for Mukuro's freedom."

Chrome's eyes widen and tears form in her eyes. She wraps her arms around Tsunami and hugs her tightly. Lussaria was stunned into silence with a hand on his chest. Slowly, he smiles gently and combs through her hair.

"Well, we better make you looks fabulous and boss-like, huh? I know that outfit was good for something! Xanxus loves it toooo~ from what I heard~ That man threatened to kill me if I didn't get that thing!" Lussaria huffs.

Tsunami flushes and whines.

---

Later that evening,

Tsunami went to see Xanxus. She hadn't seen him since breakfast. A servant told her that Xanxus was in his office working on paperwork. He was a little behind since some of the paperwork was backed up from his forced absence. Tsunami finds his office and knocks on the door gently.

"What?" A growl responds.

"I'm sorry! I can come back later..."

"...get in here, brat."

Tsunami enters the office, closing the door behind her. She looks at his large desk and her eyes bug out of her head. There was a tower of paper on the side of Xanxus desk and a small stack on his other side. Xanxus was clawing at the paper with his pin and slaps the paper he wrote on the small stack.

"That's...a lot of paperwork..."

"I didn't even notice," Grunts Xanxus.

"W-would you like me to help?"

Xanxus stops writing and looks up Tsunami, narrowing his eyes. Tsunami fidgets clasping her hands together and her knees rubbing together in that adorable...sexy way. Xanxus motions for Tsunami to come closer. Tsunami walks to Xanxus with her eyes on the paper. Unknowing that Xanxus was watching her.

"I didn't think that YOU would do paperwork! What do you want me to do?"

Xanxus grabs Tsunami by the waist and lifts her onto the desk in front of him. Tsunami squeals and holds his arms in reaction to the unexpected move. Heat rises to into her cheeks as Xanxus caresses her legs while staring at her.

"You can help me take a break for now," He grasps her lips with his.

Tsunami gasps and opens her mouth with a nip from Xanxus and he dominates her with lips, tongue and teeth. He groans and Tsunami feels lost...in a good way. She didn't realize that she was pulling Xanxus closer by his arms that she was still clutching. Breathing, regrettably, became an important matter and with a moan and sigh they pull away. They panted against one another, foreheads touching.

"Damn," Xanxus was nearly breathless.

"...Xan...xus," Whispers Tsunami.

"You know, your future self was so good looking."

Xanxus lays Tsunami out on his desk, both not noting the fall of the paper tower. Tsunami wasn't too startled, this position was very familiar from her visit to the future, meeting older Xanxus. For Tsunami, she was...excited about this.

"Xanxus..." Tsunami gently tugs on him.

Xanxus grins. They kiss and comb through one another's hair. Xanxus mouths away from her lips, across her cheek to her ear. Her ear receives a slow lick along the shell and a nip. Tsunami squeaks and flinches away with a tiny giggle. Xanxus snorts. Tsunami was so innocent and a oh yeah! A virgin. It has been awhile since he had one of these...they were few and far between within his society's selections. Tsunami was certainly a treat, Xanxus mouths a spot beneath her ear. Tsunami pants and sighs whispering his name. Her face, ears, neck were flush and her skin that was nipped appeared like rosy petals. A soft sudden sigh puffs out. Xanxus shivers and he growls. A thought came to him as he pulls away to observe Tsunami again. Tsunami was getting better, she was healing well. When she does whatever she does here in Italy with the Ninth she would have to go back home, without him. Xanxus scowls at that. Tsunami would be far from him and some responsibilities couldn't be ignored, even by him.

Small hands, hands that crushed and defeated him, held his face and their eyes meet. Tsunami's face was with worry.

"What's wrong?"

"...nothing... say listen, baby."

Tsunami blushes at her pet name. Xanxus climbs over Tsunami.

"You know what all this kissing and touching is leading to?"

"S..s...sex?"

"Good girl," Xanxus purrs. "Next question. Do you want it?"

Tsunami blushes at the question, she was just asked if she wanted to have sex with Xanxus. She fidgets beneath which makes Xanxus smile. He had to admit...it was cute. She remembers all the movements older Xanxus did to her in the future. It was scary and nice at the same time. She was beneath Xanxus again, the younger one, and it was thrilling this time. She was curious. She lifts herself up and pecks Xanxus' lips. She smiles sweetly.

"Y-yes, p-please."

Xanxus grins ferally. "Hell yeah."

Tsunami takes a breath as she and Xanxus reach to the end of her shirt and pulls it over Tsunami's stomach...

"VOOOOOO...III?" Squalo blinks at the scene before him.

His boss and the Vongola boss heir were on the desk in a intimate position. Tsunami bends her head back and sees Squalo gaping upside down. Her flushed face of passion turns to embarrassment. She curls around herself into a ball and hides her face. Squalo had shattered the mood and Xanxus opens the drawer to his desk and pulls out a whiskey bottle.

"!"

Xanxus throws the bottle and it crashes against Squalo's head. The glass shatters cutting his forehead and getting into his hair. Squalo grabs his face and screams again. Xanxus pulls out one of his pistols from another drawer and begins firing at Squalo. Squalo runs around the room dodging his boss' bullets and yelling insults and curses. Tsunami was stunned! Her ears were covered and she was staring at Xanxus as if he had gone crazy...

Actually, that shouldn't be too much of a surprise...Xanxus and the rest of the Varia are crazy.

Xanxus was overpowering Squalo and was blasting away at Squalo with MILD flame bursts of his weapon. Tsunami becomes very alarmed and she jumps off his desk and runs to Xanxus.

"Xanxus! Xanxus, stop!"

At that moment, Reborn, Chrome and Lussaria arrived at the door and see the commotion. Reborn pulls out Leon and the small chameleon transforms into his weapon.

"It's been awhile." Said Reborn.

He fires a dying-will bullet and Tsunami becomes reborn. She rushes at Xanxus and sweep kicks his feet. So focused on Squalo, Xanxus falls over backwards onto his back. Xanxus turns over onto his hands and knees and points his gun up at Tsunami and blinks for a second. Tsunami grabs his gun and growls at him with a wild look in her eye...and half-naked in her bra and bikini-style string panties. Pink, with baby blue frills on the bra. Reborn arches a brow. He didn't get a good look at Tsunami at the store that morning in the dressing room. But he was surprised at Tsunami's new taste in lingerie.

"Oh!" Reborn spoke.

The flame on Tsunami's head dissipates and Tsunami calms down and frowns at Xanxus.

"Xanxus, don't you think that's a bit much?"

Xanxus doesn't reply for a second.

"Xanxus!" Tsunami blushes covering her chest.

Leon leaps from Reborn's hand, wraps around Tsunami and turns into a short bathrobe. Tsunami sighs and looks at Squalo bleeding from his forehead.

"Oh, Squalo-san are you okay?" Tsunami asks.

"Huh...yes, I'm fine. I'm use to it. I don't need your help or pity."

"Use to it! He shoots at you all the time?"

"It would strange if he doesn't at least throw things at me at least once a day..." Squalo shrugs. "Nothing I can't handle...stop looking at me like that!" Squalo snaps.

Tsunami turns to Xanxus. "You shouldn't do that to your guardians, Xanxus!"

"Tsk, he's still alive..."

"That doesn't matter! That's the one thing that bothered me when we first met. How quick you were to hurt those close to you to get what you want! Honestly!"

Before Xanxus could say another word, Tsunami takes Squalo's hand and pulls him out of the office. Squalo was surprised along with Xanxus. Squalo looks at him and just as they leave the office, Squalo smirks. Lussaria giggles and calls out to Tsunami to where the infirmary room. Reborn sighs and his fedora shades his eyes as he smiles slightly.

"Hook." Reborn said.

---

Tsunami stood behind Squalo sitting on stool using tweezers to pull out the large shards out of Squalo's hair. Tsunami was pouting to herself.

"I'm so sorry. I feel like this is my fault."

Squalo snorts.

"That wasn't a good place for..." Tsunami blushes. "For...for...I shouldn't have distracted Xanxus. He was busy at the time."

Squalo snorts again but it comes with a smile. "Yeah right."

"Huh?"

"It looked to me like you were enjoying yourself, brat!"

Tsunami blushes. She couldn't deny that. She was looking forward to the experiencing what Xanxus had in store for her. She was a teenager and he a young man.

"Heh, never seen him get so pissed about being disrupted doing his thing before. Usually the women he's with are just something to get rid of an itch. If I had busted in on him with some random girl he would just look up and ask me what I wanted...sometimes continue on."

Tsunami rests her hands on his head. Squalo stiffens and blinks.

"Squalo-san..."

'Shit.'

"Xanxus has been with a lot of women. I...guess I can't be surprise."

Squalo mentally curse to himself continually. He stops mid curse and wonder to himself...why did he care all of the sudden. So what if his boss been with a lot of women! So what if that ignorant innocent thought she was special...

Tsunami gently and carefully slips her fingers deep into his hair her fingertips touches his scalp.

"I think you should close your eyes Squalo-san...don't want the tinier pieces of glass to get into them. I'm going to shake your hair out a little."

Tsunami pushes his head down a little and shakes and ruffles his hair. Squalo felt a strange tingle in his stomach. He can't remember if there was ever a time someone treated him so gently and kindly. His eyes relax behind closed lids and his shoulders droop.

"Ah, Squalo-san? Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Um...I think I got most of the glass out. Let's see the cut now."

Tsunami steps around in front of Squalo and touches his face to lift his back. She strokes back his bangs and Squalo and Tsunami held each other's gaze for a moment. Tsunami looks above his eyes at the cut. Squalo looks up into Tsunami's face and eyes. He takes in breath sharply as his stomach was sent to a flutter. Tsunami reaches over to the counter and takes an alcoholic wipe.

"This is going to sting a little..."

Squalo shrugs. Tsunami wipes the blood off his forehead and dabs at the cut. Squalo makes a sound and Tsunami becomes concerned.

"I'm sorry." Said Tsunami.

Without thinking blows on the cut. Squalo closes his eyes sighing. Tsunami throws away the wipe and finds a band-aid and returns to Squalo. She unwraps the band-aid and presses it on top of the cut. Tsunami lets out a small smile.

"Done."

Squalo touches touches the band-aid, thankful he had bangs to cover it up.

"Thanks, and listen. Xanxus has been with a lot of women, he's man. But you are different. You're something special to him or some kind of crappy sap to him. But tell me something, do you really love Xanxus?"

"Yes." Tsunami replies.

"Even though you're somehow able to love more than one guy?"

"Yes, I feel...that I want to love them just as they love me. I know that I don't deserve it. It's because I don't deserve their love that I open myself to all them. I never felt so wanted before. Me accepting them is just as important as them and Xanxus accepting me."

"Hmph. Yeah, you sure are special that Xanxus wanted to take you on his desk. Hell, you did look really sexy."

"Er, you shouldn't say those things!" Tsunami blushes. "Xanxus will kill you if he hears that!"

"Pft, won't be the first or the last!" He laughs.

"I rather you not get hurt, Squalo-san!"

"Hey, just call me Squalo alright! And, I know you're going to take care of the boss. You said that you

will protect everyone, right? Including him?"

"Of course!"

Squalo smirks and ruffles her head. Tsunami smiles and giggles looking up at him. Squalo stood a good few feet over her and looks down at the girl with her happy gaze and dusty pink cheeks.

"Yeah, you will. See ya' later."

Squalo walks away out the infirmary.

Line.

---

Lambo marches through the halls singing on top of his lungs his song about how great and powerful he was. He was in the main Varia wing. Lambo passes the door and hears something that makes him pause. He scampers back to the door and touches the door. It opens up and Lambo peeks inside.

It was Levi sitting in his room on his bed. He sat cross-legged and was pouting. He mumbles to himself. Lambo wasn't sure what he was saying...but his room looked worthy of exploration!

"Gahahaha! Lambo-san is here!"

Levi lifts his head and snarls at Lambo.

"Hey! Get out of my room!"

"No! Lambo-san won't leave!"

"Brat! Get out of my room or else!"

"Nah, nah,naaaah, blegh!" Lambo wiggles his hands beside his ears.

Levi leaps from his bed and lunges for Lambo. Lambo leapfrogs over Levi causing the man to face plant to the floor. Levi groans in pain. Lambo bounces off Levi raised rear and onto his bed.

"Big, bouncy bed!" Lambo bounces. Every time he sprung up from the bed he was sent up in the air higher and higher.

"I'm a astronaut! Rocket man, weeee!"

"Get off my bed!"

Levi makes another lunge and Lambo notices something.

"What's that!"

He jumps off the bed and Levi flops onto the bed. He turns around to yell at Lambo and he gasps. Lambo was in his closet and in the closet was his simple shrine to his boss.

"Whoaa, weird...you got a picture of that scary man!" Lambo reaches out and picks up the frame and looks closer. "Ooooooh, he's scary, ugly!"

"Litte trash! The boss isn't ugly! Give that to me!"

"Can't catch me! Hahaha! Hey, become Lambo-san's subordinate! I'm a more handsomer boss!"

"No way! Give me back that picture and GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" Yells Levi.

Lambo cackles with glee as he runs around the room, bouncing off the walls and running over the bed. Lambo and Levi ran another thirtieth lap around the room and Lambo takes off on the bed with a jump but bounces to high! Lambo screams when he realizes how high he bounced and panics. He flaps his arms and kicks his feet. He flings the picture in his hand and it spins away and crashes to the floor shattering into pieces. Levi screams, grabbing his hair.

"NOOOO!"

Lambo lands on his face. "Got...to...stay...caaaaalmAAAAAAAAAAAHWAAAAH!" Lambo starts crying.

Levi sobs as he drops to his knees before the broken frame. "Boss...!"

Tsunami and Chrome came to the door and sees Lambo and Levi crying in Levi's room. Tsunami moans easily putting the puzzles together of what happened in there. She steps in and gathers up Lambo. She calms Lambo down.

"Shh, Lambo, be quiet. What are you doing here anyway, this isn't home!" Tsunami looks to Levi and at the frame. "Oh no! Oh, Levi...did Lambo break that picture frame!"

Levi sobs and pulls the picture of Xanxus from the glass. He winces when he cuts his finger. He moans.

"Get out..."

"Levi-san..."

"I said, GET OUT!"

Tsunami carries Lambo out of the room quickly. Chrome follows closing the door behind them. They rush back to their room and sit on the floor. Tsunami looks at Lambo in her arms and frowns at him.

"Lambo!"

"Lambo-san didn't do it!"

"Oh yes, you did!" Scolds Tsunami. "You went into Levi-san's room and broke something that belonged to him!"

"...Waaaah, you're mean! You're yelling at me!"

"Cry all you want, we are going to fix this!"

---

There was a knock on Levi's door. "Levi-san?"

"What do you want!"

"Um...can I talk to you, please. I want to make it up to you for Lambo entering your room and breaking the frame. Please, can I come in."

Levi thinks about it for awhile. He gets up from his room and opens the door a crack. Lambo looks up at the man. Tsunami was holding Lambo who was pouting and another frame. Tsunami holds out the frame to Levi.

"I found another frame for you. I hope it's okay. It's simple but nice. I'm really sorry Lambo got into your room and disturbed you," Tsunami bows to Levi.

Levi's eyes widen. Tsunami straightens up and looks down at Lambo and gives him a light squeeze.

"Well, what do YOU say?"

"..." Lambo mumbles.

"Lambo..."

"I said, 'I'm sorry'," Lambo murmurs.

Tsunami looks at Levi. "We're both sorry, Levi-san."

Levi stares at Tsunami and holding the frame she had given him.

"Stupid...Vongola boss, being so weak and bowing to subordinates..." Levi sniffs. "You're not fit to be the boss! You're too weak...too soft-hearted...too cute..." Levi sniffles, wiping his eyes with his arm. "You...somehow are able to make the boss happy! I can tell he is happy I seen him take naps and spend time with you when you were sick!..."

Tsunami smiles softly. "Are we forgiven then?"

"Yeah, I guess...I'll forgive you...but," He face becomes serious and he stops crying. "Don't you ever hurt the boss! I'll kill you if you do!"

Tsunami gulps and nods her head.

"O-okay," Said Tsunami.

"Since you somehow like those stupid, weak guardians of yours along with the boss...I suggest you love the boss more than any of them!"

"I-I'll do my best...Levi-san."

Mammon and Reborn were in the lounge together drinking out of glasses. Of course, the drinks were non-alcoholic, being that there small bodies couldn't handle strong drinks as would their adult forms. Mammon sips out of his glass.

"Well, I'm am a little impressed with your student, Reborn. It looks like Tsunami is slowly making nice with each member of the Varia. First, she gets the boss to fall in love with her, Lussaria took a instant liking to her for now he has a female to bond with. From what I heard from you, Bel is mostly lusting after her. Levi has accepted her now. The big thing is Squalo. it seems that he has taken a romantic liking to her."

Reborn nods and swishing the contents in his glass.

"Yes. Tsunami has a way that in spending time and getting to know her you realize that she isn't so bad and there's this magnetic pull towards her, whether it's good or bad."

"You speak as though you're very familiar with that pull."

"..." Reborn doesn't reply.

"Tsunami would make a nice hostess. She could make a lot of money just being her cute self and talking with men...if she wasn't the heir to the Vongola."

"Huh, can't argue with that," Reborn smirks.

"That will be a lot of money..." Continues Mammon.

"Don't even try it."

---

Tsunami was returning to her room. She opens her door but it was closed shut by a hand. A low snicker is heard beside her ear and Tsunami flinches. She turns her head and sees Bel standing there with a wide grin.

"Evening, Vongola boss. Are you alone tonight?"

"Er...I have Lambo with me right now. So, no, I'm afraid. If you excuse me..."

Tsunami tries to pull the door open but Bel doesn't move his hand away.

"Can't you have the mousy maiden-in-waiting of yours to watch over the little cow brat...I want you to keep me company for awhile." Bel strokes down Tsunami's cheek with a finger.

"Y-you just want to talk?"

"Hmph, no. How about you and I have some fun together like you and Xanxus were about to have in his office. You looked so ravishing! The prince wants you to look like that that for him!"

Tsunami shakes her head. "What! You saw that! Then, Squalo..."

"Shishishishishi, I was there before Squalo...then he showed up and ruined the prince's chance to watch a good show! So I didn't tell him about you and Xanxus. Since, you were interrupted, this prince will offer you a chance to please the prince..."

"N-no, I can't do that with you...I don't have feelings for you!"

"Hmm, feelings?"

"Yes, I did that with Xanxus because I love him and he loves me."

"...would you have done that with your guardians as well."

"Er...y-yes...if the moment is right and all," Tsunami blushes. "It's also because I love them and they love me!"

"So you would only do things if there is love there?"

"Yes."

"The prince is confuse. You can't possibly love all those guardians and the boss. I thought you were giving yourself up to them."

"Ah! N-no, no! I care for them and they care for me. Xanxus, Takeshi, Hayato...everyone that has feelings for me, who loves me."

"No one can love that many people."

"I seem to have...and I don't feel anything between you and I. Please, Bel-sama..."

Bel traps Tsunami and Tsunami held Lambo tightly. Lambo glares at Bel and kicks at the Varia's prince.

"Hey, get away from Tsuna-nee! She don't like you! Get away!"

The tip of a trident presses against the side of Bel's neck. Chrome held the trident with a fierce, determined expression on her face.

"Excuse, Bel-sama, but you are pushing yourself onto boss. Please, leave her be!"

"Shishishi, you're awfully brave to tell the prince what to do..."

Chrome pricks Bel's neck. Bel shivers and his grin becomes maniacal. A shadow falls over them and Levi stood next to Chrome. He glares at Bel. Bel snickers.

"What does Xanxus' lapdog want with me? "

"Leave, boss Vongola alone!"

"Ohhh, so you now kiss up to the boss' lady now."

"Get away, Bel!"

Bel snickers and pulls away.

"Fine, I'll try another time then."

Bel leaves and Tsunami and Chrome give a sigh of relief. Levi glares after Bel.

"Grrr, that spoiled kid! Never liked him and never will!"

"Thank you, Levi-san!" Said Tsunami.

Levi blushes. "You're welcome, boss. Make sure your doors and windows are locked tonight and keep this girl and Reborn with you. Try not to be alone in certain places too."

"Yes, I will," Tsunami agrees.

Tsunami and Chrome enter the room and fall on the bed.

"That was a close one, boss. I don't know how my illusions would be up against Belphegor-sama..."

"Yes, I 'm sorry Chrome. I'll try not to wander too much by myself. I don't want to cause you or anyone else trouble."

"Heh, it's fine, boss. Just be a little more careful."

"VOIII!"

Squalo kicks open Xanxus' door. Xanxus looks up and glares at him.

"What do you want now?" Xanxus growls.

"I had a question. But didn't expect to see you seducing the little girl!"

"..."

"Well, she really is improving that attitude!" Squalo smirks as he takes a seat in front of the desk. "I didn't get anything thrown at me for entering the office like I did."

Xanxus' eyebrow twitches.

"What? So Tsunami can baby you more? Is that why you're here!"

"Ha, does my ear here a tone of jealously!" Squalo bares his teeth slyly. "You know, I never would of thought that you of all people would fall in love. I would of thought someone was crazy if they mentioned that you will be in love! Then again, Tsunami has managed to do some shocking things from the time we have met her. Of all people in the mafia, she was chosen to inherit the Vongola. Then we fought her and guardians, mere kids, and you and I were defeated. Then you go and fall in love with your rival. I can, however, understand. Tsunami is adorable to watch when your spending time with her. Heh, for someone that's adorable...she can look sexy when you had her all flushed and hot..."

Xanxus looks up from his desk and stares at Squalo and narrows his eyes.

"Shit. She's getting to you."

Squalo becomes alert from his trailing off and blushes lightly.

"V-voiiiiii! I'm not cradle robbers like you and Lussaria!"

"Don't lump me in with that freak!" Xanxus yells and throws a paperweight at Squalo.

Hook. Line...

And Sinker.

Reborn checks up Tsunami and Chrome after dinner. The girls settled on the bed playing a little game with Lambo.

"Tsunami, I know that your guardians are on punishment, but don't you think you should call them at least once to let them know that your healing well."

"Weeell," Tsunami thinks for a moment. "I do miss them...and their punishment hasn't officially started. I hadn't truly decided how I was going to punish them. You're right, I should at least let them know I'm getting better!"

Tsunami scrambles off the bed and Chrome smiles as Tsunami finds her cellphone and searches for her first guardian's number. Tsunami picks Hayato to be the first to receive a call from her. She selects his number and it rings...just..once.

"JUUDAIME!"

Tsunami pulls the phone away from her ear. She rubs her ear. Tsunami also realizes as she was rubbing her ear that Hayato was still talking excitedly.

"Ha..Ha...wait...uh...uhhh...Hayato!"

"How are you? Are you okay? Do you still get woozy from the surgery? Did anyone from the Varia hurt

you? Is that Xanxus taking care of you? And...and...I'm sorry, Juudaime but, Lambo has been missing for a few days! I'm sorry, I lost track ofhim...please, boss! I will find him soon! Juudaime, please...please...when are you coming home!"

"H-Hayato!"

"...y-yes, Juudaime?"

"...Lambo is fine. He's with me. He managed to sneak into our luggage. Hayato-kun, I hope you haven't been worrying about me all this time?"

"Of course! As your right-hand man...and...y-your...your...lover..."

Tsunami's eyes widen and a blush rises above her cheeks.

"Hayato..."

"As your right-hand...and your lover, I am suppose to concerned with your welfare because I love you!"

Tsunami gasps and her heart takes a leap. Tsunami smiles tenderly. "I...I love you too."

"Juudaime..." Hayato whispers. "I love you!"

"I love you too."

"I love you."

"I love you, Juudaime."

"I love you, too."

"Juudaime!...I love you so much!"

Lambo was lying on Tsunami's lap. He could hear Gokudera on the phone.

"Stupid-dera! Get off the phone!"

"Eehhhh? You little cow brat! How dare you sneak off with the tenth!"

Lambo takes the phone from Tsunami.

"Hahahaha, Stupidera is mad because Lambo-san has Tsuna-nee all to himself! You're on punishment, hahaha! Good bye!"

"Good bye? Wait a minute!"

BEEP!

"Ah, Lambo!"

"Neh, Gokudera hung up!"

"No, you hung up on Hayato!"

"It was annoying. I hate it when couples do that," Complained Reborn.

Tsunami sighs and takes her phone back from Lambo.

"Hmmm, who to call next..." Tsunami selects and another number and waits.

"Hello, Takesushi! How can I help you this evening?" Takeshi sounds so happy and welcoming!

"Hello, Takeshi!"

"Ah, Tsuna-chan!

"Are you busy?" Tsunami asks.

"I'm never too busy for you, Tsuna-chan! How's Italy?"

"Italy's beautiful here. It was a long trip from the airport in the limo..."

"Cool! You rode a limo, wow!"

Tsunami giggles and continues her conversation with Takeshi. It felt like a normal talk between a boy and a girl. Takeshi was attentive with his comments, exclamations and questions. There was a beep and Takeshi whines.

"Ah, sorry, Tsuna-chan...it looks like a order is coming in."

"That's okay, Takeshi. I'm glad we talked...I love you," Tsunami whispers.

"Eh?"

"...I love you."

"...I love you too, Tsuna-chan!"

Tsunami hears Takeshi make a sound as if he was giving her a kiss and she giggles. She giggles more when in the background the restaurant's regulars yelled catcalls and whistled teasing at Takeshi. Tsunami sighs and hears the click. She felt herself become warm all over and smiles happily. Reborn watches her become a glow in her happiness of being loved. Reborn smiles slightly.

"Hello, Sasagawa residence!"

"Hello, Kyoko-chan."

"Tsunami-chan! Well, it's about time you called!"

"...s-sorry!"

"I'm only teasing!" Giggles Kyoko. "How is Italy? I bet is beautiful there!"

"It is."

"So lucky! I want to go to Italy!"

"Well," Smiles Tsunami. "I'm sure someday I will take you with me next time. I'm pretty sure of it."

"Wow, really! That would be so much fun!"

Tsunami and Kyoko make small talk for awhile. Kyoko was so happy that she and Ryohei had made up. Ryohei was back to normal. Kyoko sort of misses the quiet now. Tsunami laughs.

"Well, I'm sure you wanted to talk to my brother too."

"Is Ryohei-kun there?"

There was a noise in the background.

"Lucky! Ryohei just walked in from a another jog...oni-chaaan!"

"YEAH?"

"Someone wants to talk to you!"

Tsunami could hear Ryohei's loud footsteps.

"Who is it?" Asks Ryohei in the background still.

"Someone from Italy," Kyoko giggles.

"...I don't know anybody from Italy."

Tsunami sighs. Ryohei knew plenty from Italy.

"Silly oni-chan! It's Tsunami! Remember? She's in...eek!"

"TSUNAMI-CHAN! Kyoko why didn't you say so in the EXTREME first place!"

There was shuffling about, Kyoko's giggling and Ryohei making a loud fuss through the phone. Tsunami laughs at hearing how the Sasagawa interact at home. Finally it settled down and Ryohei happily greets Tsunami.

"TSUNAMI-CHAN!" Tsunami pulls the phone a little ways from her ear. "HOW ARE YOU TO THE EXTREME?"

"I'm fine, Ryohei-kun...lower your voice please."

"OH! RIGHT!...Sorry. Does your head extremely hurt still?"

"No, I don't get dizzy anymore and I'm walking on my own now."

"Extreme recovery! That's great! So, when are you coming home! Now that you're extremely better."

"I still have some things to do here..." Strange...she could feel that somebody else was on the line.

"Oh...oookay," Tsunami could see the pout that Ryohei had. "Sooo, Tsunami-chan?"

"Hm?"

"When you come home, will you still be the boxing club's manager?"

"Yes, of course."

"YES! WE EXTREMELY MISSED YOU!" Ryohei cheers.

Tsunami blushes that she was missed so much by Ryohei...and the other members of the club. Most of the member were peers of Ryohei's age and older. The members weren't quite so familiar with Tsunami's clumsiness so she was a welcome face. Tsunami frowns to herself. Was that a giggle? It was certainly not Ryohei.

"...Kyoko-chan? Are you listening?" Ask Tsunami.

"Eh?" Ryohei blinks.

"Teehee...sorry, it's so cute listening to you two!"

"AAAAAGH! Kyoko!"

"Hi, oni-chan!"

"Don't 'hi oni-chan' me! This is a EXTREMELY private conversation between me and my EXTREME girlfriend!"

"Teeheeehee!" Kyoko giggles. "Ryohei missed you so much...to the EXTREME! He's been driving me crazy asking me when you were coming home as if I knew since you and I are such good friends! Now he's going to be waiting by the phone..."

"KYOKO! EXTREMELY NOT COOL! GET OFF THE PHONE!"

"He sleeps with a picture of you underneath his pillow and whispers your name..."

"KYOKOOOOOO! Tsunami-chan! I have to go now!"

"Eh, Ryohei-kun!"

"Yes?"

"I love you...to the extreme."

"...!"

Kyoko gasps on her end.

"Ryohei-kun? Ryohei-kun?" Tsunami calls.

"Oni-chan?" Kyoko asks.

"...I EXTREMELY LOVE YOU TOO! I LOVE YOU!"

Tsunami shivers and holds her shoulder.

"How romantic!" Kyoko squeals.

"KYOKO!"

There was click on Ryohei's line and a few minutes later Kyoko screams.

"Oni-chan!"

"Kyoko!"

"Eeeeee!" Kyoko laughs. "Your face is red! Tsunami-chan you should see oni-chan's face!"

"Kyoko! Be quiet to the extreme!"

"Bye, Tsunami-chan...I have to gooOOOO!" There was a click and it was quiet.

Tsunami pulls the phone away from her ear and she laughs. Chrome was listening as well and smiling.

"I didn't know Kyoko could be so playful with her big brother," Chrome said.

"Me neither. It was cute!"

Tsunami takes a deep breath and finally finds Kyouya's number. She selects and it rings once.

"Hibari."

"...H-hello, Kyouya-kun."

"...ah, Tsunami. So you decided to talk to me?"

"I-I'm sorry...I was doing a lot of resting."

"Hmph."

"Are you still upset with me because I left home?"

"I was. However, you have every right to leave. There is also something important for you to do there isn't there."

"Yes," Said Tsunami. 'You may or may not like what I am going to do. If I am successful.' Tsunami thought afterwards.

"Well, I am doing okay now. I just wanted to let you know. I'll be back soon."

"Very well."

"Kyouya-kun, I love you."

"...Ah."

Tsunami smiles at Kyouya's reply. He felt the same way, she knew he did.

"Good night, Kyouya."

"Good night, Tsunami."

"Tsunami, Tsunami!" Hibird chirps.

"Heh, heh, good night, Hibird!"

"Return home soon. As secretary of the Discipline Committee, you have much work to catch up on."

"Yes, Kyouya."

Hibird begins to sing as Kyouya hangs up. Tsunami hangs up and sighs. She falls over and stares at the canopy of the bed. Chrome and Lambo lay down beside her. Reborn had just exit out of the bathroom with his nightcap and pajamas.

"All is well at home ?" Reborn asks.

Tsunami nods and smiles warmly. "Yes, everyone is fine. They really miss me!"

"Of course, boss. They love you. I saw how happy you were when you told them and they returned your feelings."

"It felt so nice, Chrome," Tsunami held herself. "I never thought that I would fine someone...or none the less a group that likes me."

"What's there not to like about you," Said Reborn.

Tsunami turns her head to the side of the bed and sees Reborn tucking himself in behind her back.

"I'm tired. Light's out."

"

Yes, Reborn."

"Aaaaww, Lambo-san wants to stay up longer!" Complains Lambo.

Chrome pulls him to her and Lambo grumbles before settling down. Tsunami kisses Lambo on the head and wished Chrome good night. Tsunami slips beneath the covers and turns to Reborn. Tsunami watches him for a moment, thinking of what he said just a few minutes ago.

"It's impolite to stare, Dame-Tsuna. Go to sleep so you can heal. Perhaps since you're all better we can have you start training, maybe against Xanxus!"

Tsunami whines and Reborn smirks.

"I have been very lenient on you these past few days. You are far behind in you training."

"Yes, Reborn...I understand..."

Tsunami sighs and curls around Reborn. Reborn blinks.

"Tsunami?"

"Good night, Reborn." Tsunami mumbles.

Reborn turns to his side and faces her. He reaches out and touches her cheek.

"Good night, Tsunami."

---

Nana, Bianchi and the kids, Fuuta and Ipin, were having dinner. They were happily enjoying themselves when the phone rings. Nana gets up from the table into the kitchen to answer.

"Hello~! Sawasa Residence!"

"Good evening, Sawada-san!"

"Oh, is that you Dino?"

"Yes, ma'am! I hope I am not calling at a bad time."

"No, no, no! It's so sweet of you to call!"

"I know it has been awhile since I have visited Tsunami so I'm just seeing if she's all right!"

"She's fine from the last I saw her."

"When you last saw her?"

"Yes, there was something in her head so she had to have surgery."

"EH!"

"Now, now. Calm down. They removed whatever is was and Tsunami came home for a bit to rest."

Dino lets out a sigh of relief.

"...wait a moment, you said she came home for a bit? Where did she go after that?"

"Hm? You don't know? Don't you live in Italy?"

"Yes?"

"Tsunami is in Italy right now. She's there to complete her recovery. Huh, I thought she would of gotten in contact with when she got there so you can show her around when she was completely better."

"Did Reborn take her?"

"Yes...well, no. Reborn accompanied Tsunami to Italy. It was Tsunami's idea to go with her daddy's boss' son, Xanxus-san."

"Ack!"

"You know, there is a hint that something is going on between them...well, it was obvious when I came home and saw those two together getting rather cozy!" Nana giggles. "I know Xanxus-san is almost a man...but he's still fairly young like you. Not young but certainly not too old. Maybe that's why I have no problem with them having a relationship. He certainly came at the nick of time. My poor Tsuna-chan's feelings were hurt by her friends. So, Xanxus hung around and made her feel better! What a good, kind young man!"

"Ack...ack..ack!" Dino chocks.

"I was rather disappointed that those boys hurt her feelings! From what I gathered the boys were competing for her affections. Now, I know that my daughter has become rather desirable as of late, but geez! Oh well, anyway that's all in the past! Tsunami asked Xanxus-san if she could go with him to Italy. He had to go back, work and things. I'm sorry that you didn't know about Tsunami being gone, Dino. I'm going to give her a call first thing in the morning! I'm sure you would love to see her!"

"...t-thank you, Sawada-san...but, please don't call Tsu-neechan, okay? I'm going to surprise and scold her myself!"

"Haha, okay!"

"Well, good night Sawada-san!"

"Good night, Dino!"

Nana hangs up the phone and hums back to the table.

Dino sat in his office in his formal business attire of a burgundy suit. He shudders and breathes harshly. His hand not holding his cellphone gripped his office chair till his knuckles turned white. The hand clutching the phone trembles and becomes crushed.

"How...why...what...?"

Romario stood in front of his boss Dino's desk. He stood stiffly and quivers slightly.

"B-boss?"

"...sister?"

"Tsunami-sama is with Xanxus!" Romario shouts in shock.

Romario flinches when Dino slams a fist on the desk and lifts his shadowed face up. Romario whimpers. He never thought he would see THAT face again! He only seen that face once in his life serving his boss, Dino Cavallone! It was that one time when five of his members of the family got very hurt to the point of being near death. Dino became a frightening man...and he almost pitied those poor souls responsible!

"What's this about a competition over my sister's feelings! Those guardians are suppose to protect her, physically and emotionally! But they hurt her! They hurt her so much she ran away to Xanxus!"

Dino stood up, knocking his chair over. He grips his hair and screams at the ceiling!

"My god! Who knows what's happening as we speak! That horrible Xanxus probably has his hands all over my poor Tsunami! My dear little sister! I can see it! He's probably lusting after Tsunami's flesh and doing unmentionable things to her!"

"I-it's like that, boss!"

"Oh no! Xanxus is probably using my little sister's heartbreak to get close to her to get to the Vongola's power! Yes, that's it! My poor little's sister! ROMARIO!"

"Y-yes, boss!"

"Get my plane! I'm going to Vongola Headquarters, right now!"

"The Vongola HQ? Is that necessary?" Ask Romario.

"How can you ask that! Of course it's necessary! I would of love to gone straight to the Varia, but I can't do that. I must inform the Ninth and also let Iemitsu know as well! This is a rescue! I'm going to save my sister from the clutches of the Varia! I'm going to take Tsunami back to Japan were she is safe...and I'm going to crush her guardians! .ONE!"
