10th shot - Revelation

Saya who's followed by Fran who walk lazily behind her (she didn't even know why the boy keep accompanying her when he never even give any clue where Sawada is) have just reached the 3rd floor and have just turn right at the stairs corner, when suddenly she saw something flew her way ,which she thankfully managed to dodge to the ground right before it hit her right in the face.

Still in her position on the floor, Saya turn to look at the flying thing that has landed on the stairs below, and gasped as she realize what that was.

"A..A grenade!?"

"Tch. I missed."

Saya turn at the source of the new voice, and saw two teenagers who looked like they're in the same age as Fran standing tall there, giving her a look. The black curly haired boy, who she presume the one who had just thrown the grenade at her earlier, looking at her both lazily but seems to hold a grudge inside. While beside her stood a chinese looking girl who just staring at her friend from the corner of her eyes with tired look.

"Ah. So we have finally about to face them. About time," Fran said lazily while standing straight behind Saya. Didn't look like he care or planning to help the girl on whatever she have or gonna face there.

"Did you just thrown a damn grenade at me!?" Saya shouted with shocked face.

"So what if I did?" the black haired boy reply with a scowl. "Not like it's explosive anyway. Tsuna-nii gonna be so angry if I make a mess inside the house."

"But you have just attacked his guest, Lambo. What makes it any different?" I-Pin said with a sigh.

"I could just say my hand slipped. After all," Lambo turn his attention back at Saya who's still on the floor, and his eyes suddenly turn so malice, making Saya frozen on her spot. "These people deserve it anyway."

I-Pin sighed again at her brother's antics. It's not rare that Tsuna's guardian and friends being sensitive about Tsuna, but Lambo is always a special matter about that.

"I'm pretty sure Tsuna-nii didn't give her green light about this secret stuffs so you can just attack her all you want."

"I'm not. I just won't let her find Tsuna-nii unless I deem her worthy for it."

Saya blinked a few times at the boy, before she finally realize it. "Wait. Are you that adoptive brother of Sawada that used to pop out at school and make a ruccuss? That cow kid?"

"So you remember me." Lambo answer again, this time with a glare. "Just to make it clear. Except those people who already reside in this mansion, I absolutely despise you people from Tsuna-nii's school." He say it with total venom in his tone, making Saya shivered from fear. The boy is looking at her like he could blow him up with a real grenade anytime, if he wants too.

"And why are you siding with her anyway, Fran?!" Lambo suddenly turn and shouted at the other boy who have been watching at them in silence while seating on the stairs railing.

"Why? I just thought she might be interesting to be followed," he answer plainly while dangling his feet.

"Interesting?! She is one of Tsuna-nii's classmate who used to keep bullying him you know!" Lambo shouted in anger.

"Tsuna-nii never hold a grudge against them, you do know that. Look at where Mochida-san is now," I-Pin tried to calm him.

"I know. That's why I'll do it for him," he answer stubbornly.

Ignoring I-Pin's desperate sigh, Lambo turn back to Saya and keep his glare on her. "Why do you want to know about Tsuna-nii now anyway? You people never care about him before. If you want to get close to him just to hurt him again, I rather choose to kick you away here and now, since Tsuna-nii is too kind to even think of doing that."

Saya was gaping and have just make a small sound when the boy suddenly continue.

"Mind you. If your answer is wrong," he pull out something from his jacket pocket, which turned out to be another grenade and keep glaring at her, "I WILL kick you away. Even if it makes Tsuna-nii punish or kick me away."

Saya gulped. That grenade in his hand this time didn't look like it's as fake as the one before. With how the boy keep glaring death at her.

She turn to Fran who still sitting quietly behind her, and looking questionally at him. Fran only looking back at her lazily, but didn't do anything nontheless.

"You know Nee-chan," He suddenly start speaking. "With both of them here, I think that means Tsuna-nii is not far away from here. I even think he's right behind them there. So yeah, you have to get pass them, if you still want to find him."

"Even if I have to face on a fucking real grenade?!"

Fran shrugged. "That's how it goes. If you can't even handle something like this, better turn back right here and now."

Saya's eyes widen as she caught some hint from what Fran have just said. 'That's how it goes'? So facing weapon and death in this mansion is usual thing?!

Does that means, this place is a dangerous place? Where she could lose her life anytime?

But wait, she knows some people around Sawada is not such people who would easily enter a dangerous world like that. Especially Sasagawa Kyoko. She knows such soft hearted girl couldn't possibly do anything dangerous in her life, especially with how protective her brother is always acting to her.

But if even with that those two still willingly stay in this place with Sawada, then just how much Sawada means to these people?

Saya taking turns looking at the three teenagers around her.

A lazy looking boy who didn't look like he'll do anything tiring unless it's for his own convenience.

A foreign girl that's away from her home country for seems like years all on her own (because Saya sure she have seen her in their school days too).

And a mysterious boy who's not binded to the place but still stay anyway.

They're all so different in Saya's eyes, but as she look at them again now, she notice something that all of them hold and she don't.

Pride.

The Pride for being able to stood there, and hold firm on what they believe.

Saya gulped.

She feel so small now, compared to these people who supposed to be less experience in life than her. But looking at their eyes, she somehow know that they know and capable of much more things than her.

And it frustated her.

So much.

Saya stood up abruptly, startling the other three around her. Lambo looking at her confusedly, and frown when seeing her staring back at him with complete resolute and looking firm on it.

"It maybe true that I haven't done anything good towards Sawada in the past," she speak as she took a step towards Lambo.

"But that doesn't mean I won't do one in the future," another step.

"It pisses me off so much how everyone and everyone keep putting Sawada so high above their own live ever since I arrive in this place," another step, and Lambo scowling at her words.

"And what pisses me off the most," another step.

"...is how I can't understand or feel the same way on WHY you people treat him like such."

Another step, and now she stood eye to eye with the boy who's a few inches taller than her, with both looking at each other firmly.

"That's why, I will see it with my own eyes all the reason why Sawada worthy of all this," she speak right at his face. "Even if it kills me."

Silence stretched between them, with neither of them breaking their eye contact, as if testing each other's resolve.

After some time that feels like minutes, Lambo sighed tiredly, and turning his head to his partner. "Did you hear that? This woman is weird."

I-Pin giggles. "I guess that's what it takes for everyone to be 'us'."

Lambo rolls his eyes on what she implies, and then wordlessly turns around, walking through the corridor in front of Saya as she saw the chinese girls skipping on her step as she follow him. Leaving Saya confused on her feet.

"What are you waiting there for?" Fran pulling her out of her trance state as he suddenly appear beside her and start walking towards the duo. "We're gonna leave you behind if you just stay there, Nee-chan."

Saya blinked.

Twice.

"Wait, does that means…?"

Fran shrugged, "At least you're lucky Lambo didn't blow you up either way."

The group then stop in front of a double door, and then Lambo opened it and stroll inside casually.

"I know you'll be here, Tsuna-nii."

At the sound of chuckles that followed after, Saya turn to peek from behind Lambo, and found the main person she was looking for, sitting leisurely in the big room that looked like a luxury room. Definitely bigger and more luxurious than the one below that they used before.

"And I see you have bring me my guest, Lambo," Tsuna said lightly as he noticed the girl's figure behind him.

Lambo just snorted as he walk closer to Tsuna, and then slumped his body right beside him. So close that their shoulder bumped with each other, but neither seems to mind. "I still don't like the idea though."

"He keeps saying that on the way here, Tsuna-nii," I-Pin said as she took the empty spot on the other side of Tsuna on the couch.

"Hahaha, I can see that. But you still bring her here, aren't you Lambo?"

At Tsuna's word, Lambo just pouted even more and refused to look at him. But Tsuna could see, that Lambo has found 'something' worthy inside Saya, that make him willing to take her to his place.

"Well, now that the quest seems to be over, I will go home now, Tsuna-nii," Fran said from behind Saya.

"Eh? Already? You're not staying till dinner, Fran?" Tsuna looked dissappointed.

"The boss is leaving already. I need to go back or the commander gonna throw away my candies while I'm gone. Oh, and before I forget, the Boss left his useless tail in your living room downstair. Just as a reminder."

"Xanxus tie up Levi again?" Tsuna sighed tiredly.

"Well he's annoying as it is. Well then, adieu~" and he dissappear inside his mist, leaving flabbergasted Saya.

Still in his shocked state, Saya turn back at forth between Tsuna and the empty spot where Fran supposed to be, looking all confused. Even as he mysteriously disappear, his voice is still as monotone as ever.

Tsuna chuckled shyly at her before he start speaking, "Well, since my siblings have bring you to me, let's have some talk, shall we Amagi-san?"

"This must be a dream."

Osamu could hear his friends around him humming lowly or nodding speechlessly around him, as they, plus another group that has just join them a moment ago, watching the two pair busy talking (with one of them looked desperate in his wailing) with each other without seems to mind the crowd around them.

He never doubt Yamamoto Takeshi will get hot chick as his future partner, considering how popular he is already from the first time he knows the guy. But what just appeared completely stunned him. And he can't blame the newly joined group to get so 'mad' at the revelation and chase over the pair until the mansion.

Enma.

Fucking weak Enma, who always seem on par with Tsuna in all their inability in the past.

He knew that Enma and his weird group came from Italy too, but fucking hell! The girl who has been clinging on Enma since they arrive is definitely on a whole different level! She looked like a princess coming down from ancient kingdom or something!

And they said that girl is Enma's fiancee?! Fucking fiancee?!

Osamu sighed and rubbed his temple as he turn away from all the commotion, everything happened recently is too much.

Osamu feel like he had enough of all the surprise from this mansion already. Heck, he didn't even care to look at how Enma seems to pour out all his stress to the poor Yamamoto like the rest of his friends, he have an even more important thing to think about. Like his sister for example.

….

His sister…?

"FUCK!"

Osamu froze on his feet as he realize he had just shout that out loud, and now every pair of eyes in the room is locked on him.

"Is there...something, Osamu-kun?" it was Yamamoto who break the stretching silence.

"Errr...no, I just remember I forgot something. I need to get it now before I forgot, then, see you guys later!" he hurriedly walk backwards to the door, and as soon as he's out he quickly dashing out, ignoring the confused calls of his name from his friends.

It was so stupid of him, how could he forgot about his sister?! Mentally he blame everything that has happened since morning, but heck no time for that! He need to know what has happened to his house and sister!

He's pretty sure Tsuna and his friends wouldn't willingly tell him anything about it, with how secretive they sounded the night before. And how his sister answer him.

If there's someone in the mansion that he know he could trust and will possibly help him, it's only one person. And he'll get the truth out from him no matter what.

He's sure looking for Mochida in the masnion wouldn't be that difficult if he could just ask….someone.

"Back to what I was saying," Enma turning his attention back at the Vongola's Rain Guardian as soon as that person who he didn't know or remember left the room. "There's no fucking way you didn't know what Tsuna fucking planning!"

"But I swear I really don't know! Planning and documents stuffs is all through Hayato from Tsuna! You know how Tsuna always kick me away from any documents since THAT time!" Yamamoto trying to calm the angered Earth guardian, because somehow he couldn't move his feet even an inch from the floor since the Simon boss came. Either Enma is doing it on purpose, or it's leaking out from his anger unconsciously. Either way, it's bad news for him, and their civil guest.

"Besides, don't you think you've suddenly cursing too much, Enma? And this is the first time I see you do that, haha!"

"This is no laughing matter Takeshi-kun! How could Tsuna invite all these people and then spescifically ask me to come here WITH Shira-san?! And worse he didn't even tell me about this! Shira ALMOST spill out things earlier since I couldn't warn her ahead!"

"Umm...then we'll just have to deal with it? Haha~"

"TAKESHI-KUN!"

"I knew it was your voice."

"Oh! Hello there guys! I see Amagi-san has found you, huh?" Yamamoto grinned as he saw Tsuna, Gokudera, Ryouhei, Kyoko, Haru plus Saya walk towards them from the opened door. With Saya falling behind a few step, seems to be still in deep thought.

"Hahi! Shira-chan! It's been a while desu~!" Haru and Kyoko quickly make their way towards the girl as soon as they saw her.

But before Shira could say any response, Enma has gently let her arm off him before he walk with high speed towards the Vongola boss who just all smiling as if he knew it was coming anyway.

"How dare you trick me Tsuna!" he hissed right in front of his face.

"Awww~ how could you accuse me like that Enma-kun? I only invite you out to have a date with Shira-san, aren't I?"

"Don't play dumb Tsuna! I'm sure you have guessed already what had just happened with us on the street! You did this on purpose!"

"Ouch. You caught me."

"See! What do you think you're doing! They're civilian! And you know how Shira didn't know about our past in school! What if they or she say something wrong!?"

"I just wanted to show how cool you are now with having such a beauty as fiancee to our old classmates~"

Enma blushed deep red at that, while Tsuna smirk with satisfied face.

"I-I didn't-! S-She is-!"

"I know~ I know~ You don't have to say another word my dear friend," Tsuna says while tapping his shoulder, looking like all he have for the other guy is pure condolence. "I totally understand how hard it must have been to keep your beautiful fiancee from all those male eyes every day. I totally understand that feel. It must have been a hard work for you to keep her safe with how her beauty easily captivate every male's eyes even when he only stood on her feet, excluding us of course, aren't you? Not that I'm doubting how loyal Shira-san is to you, of course."

"...are you holding grudge on me or something, Tsuna-kun?"

Saya who has been all silent in the back, took that opportunity to retreat out, but unfortunately, Tsuna's could easily saw her.

"Where are you going, Amagi-san? It's almost dinner time."

Saya just stop and turn her head to look at him from the corner of her eyes as she reply from her spot, "I'm not that hungry. I'll just return to my room. I know where the kitchen anyway. Well then, see you later Sawada."

Everyone just stay silent as they saw her retreating away, before Tsuna turn back to everyone and smiles brightly at all of them.

"I see you have met Enma-kun and his fiancee! Aren't they a cute couple?"

"Tsuna-kun!"

"I know, I know Enma-kun, I was just joking," he pouted at him. "Well you guys must be tired after all the trip you made today. Like I said, dinner almost ready, so let's eat and rest because tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be a super long day!"

Their guest frowned. "Are we will be doing something?"

If possible, Tsuna's smile brightened even more, blinding everyone and almost makes some of them passed out (again). "I'm gonna take you guys on sightseeing trip around Italy! First stop tomorrow, will be Venice!"
