To Move Chapter 9 Getting Around

The boys came back later that night. I heard the sifting of my window and felt the boys crawl into bed with me. I sighed not bothering to give them a kiss my head hurt so badly listening to dad try to baby talk me and trying to sweet talk mom. Then Lemero was trying to get Lambo attention and Lambo promptly told him to shut up and leave him alone. So that was probably one down and five to go unless he tries to bribe him.

"Hey Gokudera," Yamamoto whispered. "What are we going to do about Lemero?"

Gokudera grunted, "We're not going to do anything, cause if we try to initiate anything, he'll probably try to worm his way into our life."

"So don't speak to him, got it," Yamamoto said.

I sighed, great I really hate the fact now they got to tread carefully in their second home.

I heard footsteps in the house. I can tell with how soft it was that it was Reborn's. He was probably staking out the house, making sure that it was secure enough for their next boss. Which really between the three of us, I don't think anybody should be that dumb to attack this house.

But we could never be too careful.

I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket. It was only hotwired to two people. Dino Chavallone and Xanxus of the Varia.

I called Xanxus first.

"Tsuna," I loved it how it used to be trash, before he saw my worth and started to respect me. It reminded me of how much things have changed. Yeah, I was just that sentimental.

"Hello Xanxus, I'm sure you already know that my brother made it here safely." I said making sure I didn't disturbed the boys.

"Though I'm pretty sure you wished it was the other way around." Xanxus said all knowingly.

Ah, he knew me so well. It would be a great day if he killed my brother and got a move on with it.

"Ah ha, so how is it with you and Squallo-chan, rumor had it that she was expecting your child," I said teasingly.

Xanxus groaned, "It was just a stomach virus and nothing else." I could hear the nerves tightening up. I heard that day, from Dino, that it wasn't exactly his crowning moment when he fell into a dead faint, head cracking the floor and all. Haha. Sometimes with Xanxus you forget he's human. "And I know you know that."

"Haha, I know, I know," I jeered at him. "So, I'm wondering what is that you have to do to get the position of the 10th Vongola leader."

"You could always take it." He offered for the millionth time.

I groaned. "I'm not interest in it. I have no need or want to be in the mafia. I have a life that I prefer to live and I have no interest in bring my friends into it."

"I heard that you're one step ahead of your brother." Xanxus mused.

"I'm always a step ahead of my brother."

Xanxus chortled, "No, I mean that you manage to unofficially gather your own set of guardians."

Angels perhaps, but not warriors, never that, I refuse to get them involve if I can help it. That fact that they haven't ran out on me is a blessing enough. To suddenly ask them to join him in the mafia and turn them into criminals is too much.

"Tsuna?" Xanxus asked slightly worried since I got all quiet.

"It's nothing."

"Don't lie." We might've not met face to face, but we were really close. So it was no surprise that he knew I was lying.

"Look, these people here are my best friends and lovers, I refused to get them involved in this madness. If it was just me still, if I was still alone, then I would've probably took on the role as the next Vongola leader, but I'm not. I have people here that I wish to protect and I would kill to do that as well. I have too lovers, that are family to me, I adopted a girl who needed love and I adopted a boy who needed someone to care for him. I also have two best friends that I wouldn't trade for the world. They treat me like a little brother and I truly appreciate that. And they're getting involved in this mafia stuff and it's killing me. I feel so guilty that my best friend has to be twice as careful, because we're not sure if my pathetic brother will try to use some under handed tactic and bring his sister into this mix. That's why I' m counting on you to secure the role as the next Vongola mafia leader."

Xanxus sighed, "I can't guarantee that I can get the spot of the Vongola leader, I have people who are against it because I'm not of blood, however, they're willing to overlook that factor if your brother can't find his guardians and or if you decided to take the position yourself."

"Why would they, I have no kind of training," that was technically true, but I'm well training in handling weapons and the arts of manipulation somewhat. I'm good in hand to hand fight as well. I'm not trained in how to handle mafia affairs.

"If you said that when you wasn't training yourself to handle weapons and fighting techniques, we wouldn't be talking cause I would be too busy trying to kill to make sure you couldn't get in my way, but you definitely have people looking at you and you really wouldn't need to prove yourself to the mafia cause you're strong, but I'll keep trying, but I'm sure you already understand that, so long as there is another person from your family blood line that is alive, which is you, then you'll have more leverage than I will."

Tsuna grunted. It was true. If it was just one of us, all Xanxus had to do was kill us and that was it, but because there is two of us, that's not going to happen and Xanxus could kill me, but he's sees me as his equal therefore he won't do it, plus…

"I suppose it can't be helped," I said. They both hung up.

…

Xanxus tossed his phone on the desk and cursed roughly. His pet Liger, Bester, looked at him, and then laid back down. Xanxus knew that this conversation was virtually a waste of time. True that people want only the best when leading the mafia, but seriously, he never understood the whole not giving the choice of being in the mafia ordeal. Yeah, if something was to happen to that Lemero brat then Tsuna would have no choice but to become the next mafia leader. Everybody is hoping that Lemero have some kind of dramatic change before ceremony. Which was highly unlikely, he was weak and he still can't even kill someone without looking like he's about to burst into tears and he's such a coward and always looking forward to pleasing someone.

It was embarrassing.

Xanxus propped his foot around about the same time his door to his office busted open. There was only one person who had the guts to do that, his girlfriend Squallo.

"Voii," she said walking to him. She was already in her night clothes and gave him a dry. "Did you forget that you were supposed to be coming to bed tonight?"

"Sorry, but I was talking to Tsuna." Xanxus supplied.

Squallo nodded, "So did you tell him that there is virtually no way that you can be the next Vongola leader not when he's the one that's in the way?"
Xanxus grunted, Bester yawned.

"Tsuna is a valuable asset, he would be a great leader if the times arrive for it." Squallo mused. "Plus he has that invisible pull too. Maybe we should go introduce ourselves to our future leader."

Xanxus raised an eyebrow, "Do you really believe that he'll be the next mafia leader?"

"No doubt, but it's probably going to be hell on actually trying to get him to agree, I'm sure at his age, he probably got a love life or something like that."

Xanxus snorted, 'You have no idea.'

"Anyways, you promised to come to be with me and you're hours late." Squallo said coyly. "You owe me for being late." She laughs ducking out of his office.

Xanxus growled and stormed after her. That tease.

Bester could only stare at his master and mistress. It's nice that they were young and active, but it would be better if they had cubs too. Then again he wouldn't mind for some himself. He's not getting any younger.

…

I made my way downstairs to the kitchen. I bumped into a few things and I probably gave myself a bruise. I really need to eat more so I don't get headaches.

I flip the kitchen light on and gave Reborn a dry look. He only gave me a blank stare.

"There's light in the kitchen for a reason, please use it, you're not the only one who comes down here for a midnight whatever," I said tiredly opening up the fridge for something to eat.

I could feel Reborn hawk like eyes on me.

"Is there something you need?" He only chuckled and it sent chills down my spine. I couldn't deny it wasn't sexy, but I'm happy with my boys and that's it. Hm, but I do need someone to protect Lambo, but Lambo is scared of him. Poor thing probably think that Reborn is probably going to kill him. I hope he gets over that soon.

"I can see that you have more potential than your brother, it's almost sad that you're not going to be the next Vongola leader." His baritone voice rumbled out.

I frowned was he trying to bait me or something.

"Should you really be saying that with your student upstairs?"

The man blinked, the smirk, "What my student thinks, is none of my concern for I don't care what he thinks, so long he does what he's told."

He's a tyrant.

"Is that so?"

He grunted.

"Amusing," I smirked. "Well try not kill him in the process isn't inheritance ceremony coming up. After all you still got to make him well respected for the people he'll be leading soon. Getting guardian isn't going to be enough. Speaking of that, I'll let you know that I know your people been watching me and my friends and I don't approve of it one bit, so keep away from them and if I find my brother or anybody hovering around them, they're as good as dead."

The murderous intent rained over the Sawada residence as Tsuna marked Namimori as his terriotory and is under his protection.

…

I'm going to hate it when Lemero makes his first approach that might ultimately be his last approach. And what's Reborn going to do? What his family going to do to prevent Tsuna from making unnecessary kills? And is the Varia going to meet their intended boss soon?

I love Yamamoto, I think he's a great character, but the one thing I don't understand about him is that he laughs too much. I got nothing against it, I think it's cute. But I have to ask, 'What is so funny?' I don't ever recall anybody cracking a joke. So why are you laughing. I mean sure you can do that, but I hate to be the person who says that somebody died and your response is, "Haha, sorry for your lost, haha," kind of make it awkward doesn't it?

Anyways I believe the next chapter will be the last short story. So enjoy. Unless I do something similar to the Haru Dangerous Interview thing, but that's seriously up in the air like… I have no intention of catching it when comes down. So…I seriously leave that up to you.

So it's also obvious that Tsuna is getting around.

HANDS UP IF YOU THINK TSUNA IS GOING TO END UP AS THE BOSS ANYWAYS!

Bye, bye.
