"Get up!"
Yamamoto panted, the copper tasting liquid was drying out his throat, "I-I can't!"
"That's it?" Yukiyo's scrutinizing eyes stared him down, "I expected so much more from you, the Varia is coming. They are elite assassins, a kid like you; one that is still wet behind the ears is going up against the current Sword Emperor himself. You cannot hope to win unless you put your all into it!"
"So what if I do? Will I definitely win?"
This had obviously angered the Vendicare Leader very much, her hands were white from gripping onto the teen's shirt, "Of course you will, didn't you believe your own father, wasn't it him that said that the Shigure Souen Sword style is invincible! Trust in your lineage!" her brow furrowed as she continued, her voice a tad softer, "And even if you don't, you cannot lose against Squalo, it's psychological warfare."
"Huh?"
"Defeat their commander, Takeshi-kun. He's one of the strongest people in the Varia, throw off their game."
He brushed off his tutor's hands, no longer gripping his shirt violently, "Sorry, I don't care for that kind of thing. But I'll win for Tsuna, for Gokudera, for everyone."
She didn't reply, but in return, a smile.

"Crimson, I want you to enter the Varia for awhile." Yukiyo sighed as she plopped down on the couch.
"Eh?" the red-eyed man tilted his head a little, "The Varia? Aren't you afraid that those underlings will mistake me for Master Xanxus?"
She smiled, taking a sip of the grappa that her second-in-command poured for her, "You are definitely not Xanxus, too docile looking."
"That's what the Columba Boss said before I killed him, that a gentle kid like me won't be able to harm a fly." Crimson was hovering over Yukiyo now, his forehead touching hers, "How do you know that I won't betray you?"
A breath of fruity liquor was puffed into his face as his boss spoke, "You have never hurt me before, why start now? When I made you my Second, I already knew of the danger that you could become, but aren't you just a little to attached to do that? You know well that you would do anything for me."
"You underestimate me." Crimson drew back, grabbing his cappuccino from the table, he waved a slight goodbye.
"Where are you going?"
He grinned, tossing his head back as he opened the door, "To fill in a Varia app."
"By the way,"
"Yes?"
"You can never be seen as Xanxus, because I'm not in love you with you."
"Of course."
Click.
The door closed.
"What a pawn." Yukiyo mused to herself, not knowing that Crimson was right out the door clutching his dear head in a vice grip.
"You're right, Princess. I would do anything for you." a bitter laugh escaped his lips, "But if it's one thing, I won't ever forget that I'm just a pawn in your game."
The storm door opened, a chiming of the bells came with it, "Crimson? What are you doing out here? You look like a herbivore."
"Master Hibari! It is rather chilly outside, isn't it? You better be going inside as soon as possible."
"Alright, but Crimson?"
"You are pretty chatty today Mister, why don't you go inside and warm up, I'm sure that Namimori doesn't need so much guarding."
Hibari sighed, "Whatever that is on your mind is eating away at you, I do not want to loose another opponent. You are growing slack. Weak. Mommy will have no use for you later on; a carnivore is what she desires."
Out from the corner of his eye, Crimson could swear that Hibari was smirking at the end of his little speech. He could have verified that if he was not seeing red though.
