Chapter …I forgot which chapter number it is
Colonello gulped his saliva down as soon as the normally calm and collected Fon stormed in the living room of the mansion looking ready to murder anyone within the perimeter. Fon's lips which was usually set in a calming and soothing smile was completely gone and wiped off his face, a deep scowl that said 'Don't fucking annoy me or Die' Fon's eyes that usually held never-ending patience held and endless abyss of rage that swirled violently as his aura spoke volumes. Colonello spat out the energy drink that he was drinking as soon as he saw Fon glare at him. 'What's wrong with Fon?...Shit! Maybe he found out…'thought Colonello nervously as he tried to smile properly and not look like a guy that had diarrhea, and failing.
The last time Colonello saw Fon this pissed was when Takeyoshi almost cost I-pin's life in a battle, the boy running away from the enemy while I-pin stood firm and protected Takeyoshi. His pupil had successfully withstood the enemy but received life threatening injuries that not only made Fon's blood boil, but also trigger his patience to snap. And when Fon's patience snaps, it is equivalent to the two Skylarks on their mood swings which always ends up in a massacre and that isn't pretty.
"Hey Fon! What's with the face?" asked Colonello cheerfully, yet his body tense and he mentally applauded himself for not stuttering and not looking like a coward in front of Fon. Fon glared daggers at Colonello as Colonello felt himself sweating buckets at Fon. Colonello sighed, a look of guilt flashing through his face. "Alright, Alright, I'm sorry, Fon" he said as he clasped his hands together and bowed to Fon. 'This is the only time I'm doing this...This is so I won't die…I wouldn't mind if it was that bastard Reborn, though…Well, I better explain myself' thought Colonello.
Fon's eyes softened a little at his friend and he sighed. He approached Colonello who was still bowing at a ninety degree angle and clasped a hand over his shoulder. "Colonello-"Apparently, Colonello took this the wrong way as he snapped his head towards Fon, Fon retracting his hands in surprise as Colonello looked at him in fear. "I never meant to destroy your Japanese Garden! It was because of that bastard Reborn throwing a bomb while I landed at your garden! I swear I didn't mean it! Okay, maybe the bullet holes in the trees and in your dead fishes were my fault, but everything else was the stupid bomb's fault! I'm sorry!" he said quickly as he closed his eyes, fearing for the worse.
After a few minutes of silence, Colonello carefully opened his eyes to look at his friend. The said man had his eyes covered with is bangs, hands at his sides and looking quite relaxed. 'I think he forgave me…'thought Colonello as he inwardly sighed in relief. He smiled cheerfully and was about to speak when he felt the room's temperature drop considerably and Colonello's cheerful face was replaced with fear and anxiety. Colonello looked at Fon who was smiling innocently at him with eyes turned into slits with a deadly aura more scarier than Alaude or Hibari surrounded him. "F-Fon?" asked Colonello warily as he took many steps back, Fon following by taking the same amount of steps forward. "You were the one who did that?" asked Fon with a very sweet voice and emphasizing the 'You' part.
Colonello's mouth twitched in fear as he held his hands up, but stopped in his steps as he looked at Fon confusedly. "Wasn't that why you were mad?" he asked dumbly as a vein twitched in Fon's temple. Fon's smiled widened. 'Shit' thought Colonello. Shit indeed...Well it was nice knowing you, Colonello… Fon's grin took on an insane edge as somehow, a rope and a handkerchief appeared in his hands. "Co-lo-ne-llo~! You are fucking dead~" purred Fon dangerously sweet as Colonello ran for it, never making it to the door as he felt himself being tied with a rope. "NOOOO! I'M SORRY! REALLY! DAMN IT, REBORN, ANYONE!?1 HELP ME! HEL-Mmmphhff" he shouted as the living room doors slammed, but not before Colonello seeing the smirk on Reborn's face that said 'Good luck, sucker~!'
Colonello swore he will get Reborn back for this, but for now, he'll have to suffer Fon's hands. 'Reborn…I'll kill you after this'
xxXX00O00XXxx
Fon looked at Colonello once more before turning away and closing the doors to the living room shut, a content smile on his face as he almost, almost, skipped happily, but contenting himself with humming a happy tune as he walked through the hallways of the mansion, butlers and maids sighing in relief that their master looked like he wasn't about to murder anyone in spot. Fon just continued walking, happy at his 'masterpiece' in the living room.
"You look happier" said a new voice as Fon looked behind him. "And why do you say that, Mammon? Are you saying that I didn't look happy before?" he asked with confusion. Mammon, the new voice, sighed and neared Fon. "It looked like you were about to go on a homicide earlier. And it was scaring everyone. You're lucky Takeyoshi is still in bed and Reborn refusing to heal the boy completely or else you'd be sent to his office and probably Iemitsu's as well. And you and I both know what happens when Iemitsu is involved" said Mammon as he and Fon continued to walk. Fon hummed in approval before laughing lightly.
"You're right. I'm sorry if I came off a bit scary-Not a bit scary…You were fucking terrifying thought Mammon- It's just because of Reborn" said Fon as he smiled in apology, Mammon just nodding. "And I presume that your situation is the same with Hibari. The boy keeps on scowling and glaring at every single thing that he sees" deadpanned Mammon as Fon laughed at his friend's bluntness. "Yes that's right…" Fon looked at Mammon from the corner of his eye as Mammon sighed. "Okay, what do you want? You're looking at me way too much for my comfort, Fon"
Fon laughed heartily again as they kept walking, not stopping even though they were outside the mansion and heading towards the gargantuan garden "Well…It seems like you caught me red-handed. I need your help with something" said Fon seriously. Mammon raised a curious brow, but of course, you wouldn't see because of the hood covering his eyes. "I won't do it for free you know? Three million euro on my account"
Fon sighed and muttered something along the lines of 'I knew it' but nonetheless nodded and took out a piece of white paper from his pocket and handing it over to Mammon who took it casually, raising another brow at the paper's contents.
Go to the place where the elements are accepted
Where they are welcomed, loved and gathered
The place where aromas of sweetness and bitterness mix
Where the answers to their questions are all answered
Go to the place where elements are in harmony
What the elements need to make them complete
Go to the place where scent and taste are desired
And the place where you get a sweet treat
Go to the place where a sky is seen
But other than that, black beans are found
A place of belonging, a place of family
A place where elements revolve around
Mammon looked back at Fon and Fon just knew that Mammon was looking at him with a 'What the fuck is this? Bitch please, I don't know what the fuck this means.' Fon sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "I know…It makes no sense and I really need to know where this place is"
"So it's a place?" asked Mammon as he analyzed the paper's contents again. Fon nodded as he stopped walking and sat down on the ledge of the large water fountain. It was actually a replica of The Trevi Fountain; the largest and most spectacular of Rome's fountains, designed to glorify the three different Popes who created it. It was built beginning in 1730 at the terminus of the reconstructed Acqua Vergine aqueduct, on the site of Renaissance fountain by Leon Battista Alberti, built as a replica at the Vongola mansion to honor the power and influence of Vongola over many countries and especially Italy. (Got the description from the Wikipedia, so all the credits go to them…I didn't know how to describe the fountain so I just got an extract from Wikipedia, and as I said, All credits to them XD)
Mammon hummed in thought as he sat down beside Fon analyzing the riddles that was given to them. "Well, do you have any clue? I only found out 'Sky' since it is the only place where the elements feel complete, loved, welcomed and the 'Sky' is the one that has the harmony factor. Also, it is the only 'place where elements revolve around' as said at the last part, yet I'm not too sure about that either…" said Fon as he trailed off at the end. Mammon hummed in thought.
"It said here a place where 'aromas of sweetness and bitterness mix.' That could be anywhere. The wording is really simple, yet the style is complex. It's almost like Reborn's a poet" Fon laughed at the image of the trigger happy hitman being poetic. 'God, I would love to see that' thought Fon as he wiped the tears that collected in his eyes, Mammon just looking at him. "Finish?" asked Mammon as Fon nodded happily. "Yes, Thank you"
Mammon cleared his throat as he turned his attention back to the paper. "Well now that you're done laughing, let's get back to business. Oh, and I'm raising the price to three and a half million for this. This is complicated" said Mammon as Fon sighed at his friend's greediness but agreed nonetheless.
"Hmmm…What are the places you could think of that the 'scent and taste are desired'?"
Fon closed his eyes in thought."Well, taste would only mean food. That means, it's some kind of food place? I think it fits with 'scent' anyways"
"That seems right…But it still doesn't fit the description of the place where 'aromas of sweetness and bitterness mix'" replied Mammon."And also, it says here 'a place where you get a sweet treat' A restaurant is out of the question."
Fon opened his eyes as he looked at the paper again, reading the contents carefully again and again. "Yes but what does it exactly mean by ' a sweet treat' ?"
"The only thing I can think up off are cakes, ice cream and other types of sweet things" said Mammon as he flipped the paper and looked at the back, checking for any hints that maybe left. Fon sighed. "Well, you could get those at a restaurant as well too."
"Hmmm…There's also the case of 'black beans'"
"Those can be anything…It can be coffee beans, cocoa beans…anything" said Fon. Mammon sighed in frustration at the set of riddles on the paper. He considered himself to be actually really good at solving puzzles and riddles but this was just ridiculous. None of this made any sense and Mammon is starting to think that Reborn was just messing with Fon and him, now that he was involved. Mammon scanned the back of the paper, looking for anything as his eyes narrowed in suspicion as soon as he saw small scribbles at the back. He brought the closer paper to his eyes and squinted and he felt his eyes widened in surprise. He tugged at Fon's sleeve, effectively gaining Fon's attention as the said man raised a brow of curiosity. "What is it, Mammon?" he said as he yawned tiredly, blinking dazedly as he turned his attention back to Mammon.
Mammon pointed at the small, barely visible writing at the back of the paper. "Have you seen this before?" asked Mammon. Fon looked confused and trialed his eyes to where Mammon was pointing and squinted his eyes to make out the words. "Coffee?" he muttered confusedly. He shared a look with Mammon, his eyes widening in recognition. "Espresso beans" they both said at the same time. That's right, Espresso beans. They were black in appearance and were bitter. It also happened to be Reborn's favorite beverage.
Fon sighed as he took the paper back from Mammon. "We solve one puzzle, but there' still the sweet treat and 'where taste and scent are desired, also the part where 'Aromas of sweetness and bitterness mix' it's like it won't let us solve the puzzle" said Fon dejectedly. Oh Dios Mios, it took him this long to figure out two parts of the riddle and he still has to figure out the last part. God, the amount of thinking he had to do. "What do we do now? We're back to square one…" he said to Mammon as he stared at him from the corner of his eye.
"What are you herbivores doing?" asked a new voice. Fon brightened up at the new voice and he quickly snapped his head around. "Kyoya!" he exclaimed as Hibari looked at his uncle with annoyance in his eyes. "Stop acting like an herbivore, Carnivore" he growled as he approached Fon threateningly with both tonfas secured in his grip. "Or I'll bite you to death" Fon laughed quietly, saying "Of course" a couple of times before turning serious.
"Found anything about the riddle, Kyoya?" he asked as he scooted a little bit to the right, giving space for Hibari to sit down in which he did. Hibari sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Sky" he replied as Fon grumbled in frustration. "I know that much. Also, we found out the second piece of the puzzle. Espresso beans. But we still need more clues" he groaned. Hibari glared at his uncle but Fon just ignored the piercing eyes directed his way. "But where would the 'aromas of sweetness and bitterness mix?'" he asked himself quietly as Mammon scanned the piece of paper again, flipping again and again to look for more hidden clues.
Hibari yawned tiredly. He's been locked up in his office to figure out the riddled behind Reborn and Giotto's strange behavior without taking any breaks. He knows that it's only been a day after they were given the complex riddle, but he really wants to know everything behind their behavior. And Hibari knew it wasn't normal. If this person could get Giotto and even the Reborn to act strange, then this enigma was far more complicated than he ever imagined, and he was going to solve him. After all, if this enigma caught Reborn's attention and even keep the Vongola occupied, it meant that something life-changing will happen. And Hibari would do anything to leave Vongola, the only reason he didn't leave was to look for information to bring down Vongola.
Of course, no one knew about this, and you may ask why he wants to destroy his own famiglia, but it was simple really. He may be ruthless and bloodthirsty, but he wasn't cruel enough to let people be blinded by Takeyoshi and suffer because of the said boy. He was strong and sometimes, he admits, a bit cold, but he protects those who are innocent, which means that those who hurt innocent people shall be bitten to death by his hands.
But back to the topic, he needed to know who this enigma is and the only clues where 'Espresso' and 'Sky', but also 'A sweet treat'. Hibari's scrunched up, so caught up in his thoughts. 'The blonde herbivore's sweet treat would be cakes and sweets. The Carnivore's treat would be that bitter drink espresso' he thought. He leaned back a little, yet not too much that he would fall n the fountain. 'The place where both would be found' Hibari snapped his eyes wide open as he abruptly stood up, surprising both Fon and Mammon who was still scanning the paper.
"Café" he whispered quietly. Fon looked at Hibari in confusion. "Kyoya?" he asked, Mammon just observing both Skylarks.
Hibari turned to his uncle and looked at him right in the eyes. "What's the place where you could get an espresso and cakes as well as parfaits and other beverages?" he asked seriously. Fon looked confused, before his eyes widened in recognition. "A café" he muttered. Hibari smirked and nodded.
"I get it now" said Mammon who had been quiet all this time. "The place where aromas of sweetness and bitterness mix' , 'the place where you get a sweet treat' 'the place where scent and taste are desired' 'the place where black beans are found' or as Reborn said, Espresso beans…A café, but not just any café…" he trailed off.
Fon and Hibari both looked at him as all three shared a nod. "Sky café"

END
Hey guys! I'm a little late, I know and it was because I was at my grandmother's house over the weekend and they had no wifi!

Also, if you have your own idea, please feel free to share it! You never know, I might just use it, but of course, credit will go to you for giving me ideas!
Hibari and Fon were walking when they suddenly bump into Tsuna, Hibari then requesting a fight.
Giotto coincidentally ordered cakes from the café and they meet Tsuna as well as Gokudera in the mansion.
Both were out on a mission fighting an enemy famiglia but were injured, thankfully being saved by a mysterious figure that looked a lot like Giotto and later meet at the café
Both getting caught in an attack at town which almost endangered the many lives at an orphanage, but was saved by another mysterious figure.
Both experiencing so many attacks and keep on seeing the same figure that disappears right after.
