Please read and review.
Please tell me any suggestions that you might like to make the story more interesting. I'll try to place it in the story…

Previously in Idai No Himitsu
When the portal closed, I saw everyone starring at me while sweat dropping.
"What? Is there something on my face?" I asked them as they quickly turned their heads anywhere but me, trying to start a conversation with each other.
I was thankful that my cameras were still operating near me. It's a good opportunity to record everything that was happening this night… Kyoya and Squ-nii were starring at each other… Ryohie and Levi-nii were doing a boxing match out of nowhere… Hana was playing poker with Bluebell… Chrome, Mukuro together with Bel-nii were practicing their signature laughs together. The funny thing is Chrome just invented her signature laugh right on the spot… Haru and Viper-nii were betting something about when would I reveal my true personality to public, not the clumsy one… Kyoko and Adelheid were braiding their hair while talking about cakes. It made me laugh when Adelheid was talking about sweets because I knew she hated sweets… Gokudera together with Luss-nee were singing a new year's song… Byakuran, Enma and Romario were reading a love novel… And Kaa-san and Reborn were having their coffee break right in the middle of the room.
A minute had already passed and I had thought that we only have two hours left before we set off towards the Head Quarters of the Estrangero Famiglia, I called out for their attention.
"We only have two hours left before we go… So now… What are your questions?" I asked them.
xXx
(Normal POV)
After Tsuna had declared his so called time limit before he and his group left the place to do their business, silence filled the room. All eyes were focused to the hacker and the assassin.
"Now… Ask it now. We don't have all the time here, we only have two hours." Tsunayoshi crossed his legs the moment he sat on the nearest chair near him.
"Well then Tsuna-kun, as Reborn-kun was asking earlier… What do you mean that you and Takeyoshi are brothers but your mother isn't his mother yet the two of you had the same father?" Kyoko was the first to ask.
"And here I thought everyone already got it." The assassin goddess sighed as she shook her head lightly.
"Huh?"
"Tsu-kun… Why did you even bother taking her as one of your apprentice? She's too dumb for her sake… She can't even understand what we're telling them earlier." Nana walked to her son as she kept on sighing.
Kyoko immediately ran into a corner of the room and started whimpering after she was called dumb by his boss' mother while the others sweat dropped.
"Kaa-san, that's enough…" Tsunayoshi stared at his mother as she sat near him.
"Hai~" She replied playfully.
"To answer your question, I and Takeyoshi are brothers in my father's side only. The two of us have different mothers… Just as we had told you, Sawada Nana is my mother." Tsuna said as he took a bite of his chocolate cake that was a gift which Byakuran gave him a minute earlier.
"So who's the mother of Takeyoshi?" Reborn asked after taking a sip on his expresso which magically appeared.
"Then let me ask you… What famiglia which is starting to gather their forces little by little or should I ask you… What famiglia did the CEDEF head talked with a few years back that had disappeared without a trace?" The hacker smirked as he saw everyone in the room widened their eyes with the exception of, the sleeping child, the fainted mafia boss, his mother and the clueless Shimon boss.
"You don't mean it." The sun arcobaleno said quietly.
"I mean it…" He said as he stole a knife from his Bel-nii to slice his cake.
"So… It's the Steale Famiglia… Tsuna." Hana said.
"But Judaime…"
"Bossu…"
"Tsuna-san… How is this even possible?" Haru asked as her eyes widened a little.
"Mou~ Tsu-chan…" Lussaria let a tear fell out of his left eye.
"Ushishishi… Looks like Mammon was really giving Boss some useful information."
"Of course I do… He's one of my favourite money machines." The hooded baby laughed as he continued to float.
"Isn't the Steale Famiglia the one who's gathering their forces to make the Vongola bow down before them!?" Ryohei shouted very loudly, making the sleeping boy awake…
"Nii-chan? Where are we and did I heard Steale Famiglia? The ones who's trying to hunt us down?" Lambo asked as he finished yawning.
"VOIII! They are trying to hunt you down?"
"Steale Famiglia? What's that? Do you know that Adelheid?" The Shimon boss asked his only subordinate present in the meeting cluelessly.
"Of course I do… I just told you to memorize everything about them a week ago… I'm really wondering of what would happen to our famiglia if you're going to continue that attitude…"
"Looks like someone here is in for a very loooong~ lecture later~" Byakuran said as he took another bite of his marshmallow.
"Kufufufufu… Since when did you discover this, Tsunayoshi? Dea Assassino?" Mukuro twirled his spear playfully as he stared at the hacker who was enjoying eating some deliciously looking cake.
"Tsunayoshi… Would you mind explaining this?" The well known skylark asked coldly as he glared at the only boy who had gained his respect.
"Mou~ Minna… Explaining it would be too boring, but if you like, Kaa-san can do all the storytelling…" Tsuna said lazily.
Then all eyes were focused at the hacker's mother, expecting her to tell them the story.
"Ohh… Remember to wake me up after you're finished, alright?" The hacker let out a soft yawn before laying at the king size bed he created using his mist flames.
"Hai~" Nana together with her son's friends and the Varia said. They shivered at the thought of their little hacker being disturbed in his sleep.
"So… Where should I start?" Nana asked the crowd before her.
"Umm… How about you tell us something about your childhood?" Chrome suggested quietly.
"There's nothing really important about my childhood… But since you asked, I might as well share it to you…" The Assassin Goddess waited her audience to adjust their place near her.
"My life started when I was abandoned by my parents in Italy the moment I reached the age of four because they don't need a daughter who had a heart disease. They left me in the streets, telling me to wait for them. I did my best to entertain the people who would pass on the park. I used the money that I earned from that for my food to survive. I continued to wait there for days up until it became weeks and months… At the third month that I was there, my illness acted up. At then, I was still wishing that my parents would come for me and take me with them but after I heard different people talking about me being abandoned, I realized that they wouldn't. I know that it's the truth but even so, I don't want to believe in it. Those feelings made my heart to worsen… But when I was about to give up, I felt warm arms wrapped around me while whispering 'Everything's going to be alright now… So sleep for now. We'll take care of you…' at my ear." Nana said while playing a sad song which echoed through the whole room.
"I-I'm sorry…" Chrome cried silently.
"We're sorry…" The remaining girls said as they copied the actions of the pineapple haired girl.
"I never thought that you have a painful past, Dea-chan." Lussuria blew his nose with a tissue.
"We're being so insensitive…" The Shimon Boss and Cavallone Boss said at the same time while wailing.
"Alright, you're life as a child is devastating… So what's the music for?" Reborn said calmly, not even bothering to look at the woman.
"Just want to create a perfect mood and besides they don't have a problem with it."
"Yeah right… So how did you even became an assassin in the first place?" Reborn snorted.
"Well… As far as I have known, my parents were one of the leading mafia bosses thirty years ago. Though I forgot what famiglia it was. Anyway I was trained by the two who helped me. They took care of me for four years, up until I can take care of myself because they have a limited time that they can stay with me. They thought me how to use my flames, how to use my weapon and many other things that I need to survive the harsh reality in the world."
"Sawada-san, mind telling us who were those two?" Aria said the moment Nana stopped talking to breathe.
"Ohh… Those two were Tsu-kun and Gio-kun."
"Tsu-kun and Gio-kun?" Lussuria repeated and he received a nod from the woman.
"Don't tell me you're talking about Cielo. He's too young to do that. I bet he's not even born in that time." Gamma said.
"Well… You're right about that, though who said that a child helped me?" Nana raised a brow.
"So you're telling us that, Tsuna is the one who saved you and yet he's not?" Byakuran asked as he took a bite of marshmallows.
"Un… Anyway… we're already talking for quite some time now… What are your other questions?"
"How about on how you and the CEDEF head met?" Aria suggested excitedly, wanting to hear the love life of a once well known assassin.
"Alright… But isn't this looks like telling a story to little children who's begging for it before they sleep?" Nana said happily while chuckling a little.
xXx
(Reborn's POV)
That did it! I'm so pissed at this woman! Telling me that she's going to tell a fairy tale to me… to me… Of all people in the freaking mafia, she's insulting me! I'm the world's greatest hit man!
"Hurry up and speak, you stupid assassin." I said coolly while she was laughing.
Her laugh immediately changed into a creepy one while the temperature in the large room dropped, making some of the ones who were present to shiver.
"Reborn-kun…" She smiled as the temperature continued to drop.
"…" I ignored her, wishing that she'll drop the subject like Tsuna had done one time when he had to do something important.
"Did a baby with BONDAGE FETISH just called me stupid?" She emphasized the word bondage fetish, making me to snap at her.
"Dea Assassino… Do you have a death wish?" I glared at her and she glared back at me.
"To be frank Sun Arcobaleno… You're getting into my nerves." She said coldly as she materialized a gun in her right hand.
"What a coincidence… I feel the same about you." I let Leon to change to my gun.
"Juudaime's Oka-san and Reborn… Stop this now." The teen with an octopus hair style said while glaring at us.
"We agree with him." The three apprentices of Tsuna said they rolled their eyes.
"You don't have the right to tell us what to do." I and the stupid assassin said at the same time. Just thinking that we said that makes me want to puke.
"How much would you want to stop this idiocy?" The mist arcobaleno asked us. I wondered what made him to be willing to give his money. Money is his treasure for all I care but calling this stupidity… I let my killing intent to fill the room.
"What's the idiocy again, money freak?" Synchronisely with pure killing intent, the stupid woman and I said at the floating trouble.
xXx
(Normal POV)
"Ushishishi… Looks like you're no help Mammon… But I'll pay you a ten million if you're going to save me with your illusion for the night." The blond freak said.
"Pineapple duo… I'll pay you a million if you're going to help me." The arcobaleno
"Pineapple duo? Mukuro-sama…" Chrome looked at the man beside her.
"Kufufufufu… Do we look like a freaking comedy duo?" Mukuro asked evilly as he pointed his spear at the floating baby.
"Alright… I'll give you fifty percent so hurry up now."
"Wait… Let me and Bluebell in too… two million each." Byakuran said as he took another bite of marshmallows.
"A Billion." Squalo, Lussuria and Levi said while shaking a little.
"What are they doing, Aria-san?" Enma asked the other clueless boss beside him.
"Who knows…"
"Half a million." Adelheid, Gamma and Romario said as they dragged their own bosses near the illusionists.
Right after they had paid the illusionists, a very strong illusion covered them all, made by three powerful illusionists.
"So… What's this all about?" Enma asked the crowd near him.
"Shut up and don't make any noise… We can't afford to let them loose their concentration." Lambo said stiffly.
"Concentration? For what little child." Aria asked Lambo sweetly.
"We can't afford to let them loose concentration on the barrier if we still want to survive the meeting." Hana said as she stopped a certain boxer and a smoker from fighting.
"Survive the meeting?" Dino asked cluelessly as he tried to stand up from his sleep.
"See for yourself desu." Haru told him as see pointed her hand at the two legends in the mafia preparing to fight.
"Hey, hey, hey… Reborn won't be able to massacre all of us while fighting her in the meeting." The Cavallone boss let out an amused laugh.
"And who said that they're the ones we are preparing for?" Squalo whispered, making some of the people inside the barrier to widen their eyes, not believing that the noisiest member of the Varia can whisper at all.
Right after he said that, both assassins that were left outside immediately fire their guns at each other while speeding up to dodge every bullet that was aimed at them.
Thirty minutes had already passed when Reborn took the chance when he saw the woman slowed down near the corner and fire a barrage of bullets at her, but when the bullets reach her, it only ran passed through her as she disappeared.
"Stupid Illusions." Reborn cursed as he tried to look for the assassin goddess.
And when he saw her right in front of him he immediately fired his Chaos shot, only to find himself dodging a purple and green bullet.
"Well you're good at this, Dea Assassino."
"Why, thank you… You're not as bad as I thought."
But both of them stopped at their tracks when they saw where their shots were heading for.
"This is bad." Nana said panicky.
"I agree with you… It looks like we're in a very big trouble now." Reborn said as he and the woman watched the bullets to near Tsunayoshi.
Just as the bullets were about to reach the sleeping figure, the bullets were frozen in place with some orange flames around it. And when they were to take a look at the poor brunet in the bed, he was already standing a few meters away from the two of them.
"Kaa-san, Reborn… What are you doing?" Tsunayoshi asked in a cute way, but his eyes promised torture for the two adults.
When the two heard that voice and saw those eyes, they immediately tried to sprint out of the room only to see themselves being tied by chains.
"Uncle Bermuda." Tsuna nodded at the direction of the baby as he watch his uncle to restrain the two figures that were trying to escape.
"Now… Now… The world's greatest hit man and the Assassin Goddess should take their own punishments head on, right? The two of you earned you're titles because of it…"
"Now that you think about it… Uncle Bermuda, would you like to assist me on my business this time?" The hacker asked his uncle while twirling the floating bullets around him.
"Why sure, Tsunayoshi. It's my pleasure." He grinned.
"Can't we just talk about this?!" The two figures who were restrained shouted after they gulped.
"Nope… After all the damages the two of you done, I'm afraid that we can't talk about it."

(Normal POV)
Inside the barrier.
"I'm glad that I'm here." Enma said.
"Tsuna-kun's pissed." Kyoko thought aloud.
"We can clearly see that, alright?" Gamma and Adelhied shoot a weird look at the teenage girl.
"I-I-I can't believe i-it." Dino stuttered.
"Believe what?" Aria asked.
"I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't believe it…" The blonde man chanted.
"Ushishishi… Looks like the blonde's broken." Bel laughed hysterically.
"Kufufufu… If you haven't notice… You're blonde, too." Mukuro said sarcastically.
"Can't believe. Can't believe. Can't believe…"
"What the hell do you can't believe?!" Gokudera and Ryohei shouted, making the blonde to snap out of his world.
"How the hell can a mere child beat Reborn, the world's greatest hit man together with the Dea Assassino?!"
"HOW THE HELL COULD WE KNOW?!"
xXx
The two hours that was dedicated for the question and answer portion for the hacker was spent on tortu- punishing the two sulking figures at the corner of the room…
"That was refreshing." Bermuda declared as he finished assisting his favourite nephew.
'That was refreshing?' The crowd inside the barrier thought while their eyes widened.
"REFRESHING?! THAT WAS REFRESHING?! WE ALMOST DIED AND YOU SAID THAT IT WAS REFRESHING?!"
"Tsunayoshi… Can't I have a part two?" The floating baby with a hat on his head asked the hacker.
"Su-" He was interrupted by another voice.
"Bermuda-sama, I'm afraid that it's already time." Jagger said as he materialized between the prey and the predator.
"It's such a shame." He sighed.
"Anyway, Uncle Bermuda lead the way… And everyone please hurry up. Time is moving on." Tsuna said as he followed his baby into a black portal and at his back, his friends followed after him.
