In all honesty this chapter and the previous one could've been combined but because of reasons I kept them separate. Though since they're so similar i've posted them both at the same time.

Only a few more chapters to go!

Disclaimer: Yeah so the only people that belong to me are the baddies. Other than that, none of the characters belong to me, and instead belong to their creator Akira Amano.

War Only Brings Tears

Everyone was at Tsuna's house to hang out and they were also waiting to see if word from Dino would come in.

The atmosphere at the house was a heavy one. No one could really find it in themselves to say anything about it.

"So... Ah... What are we going to do once we get word?" Yamamoto asked the question that everyone was thinking about.

Tsuna's eyebrows furrowed as he thought about what he wanted to do. As the boss his words had a lot of weight to them. Of course if he had any idea that things weren't looking very good for Dino, he was going to do something about it.

Dino can get mad at him all he wants, but he just wanted his 'older brother' to be safe. He'll take all of the scolding later once he was sure that Dino was going to be okay.

The doorbell started to ring frantically and everyone jumped onto her feet and ran for the door. Once opening the door they saw Haru standing there panting heavily. It was hard trying to regain her breath.

The guys all sighed, fearing for the worst but it was only Haru. "Damn it woman! You scared us! There is a time and place for everything!" Gokudera yelled at her.

Haru lifted her head to glare at Gokudera, her complexion pretty pale.

Tsuna had a bad feeling about this since her eyes were also a little red. "Haru, did something happen?" He asked.

All of the guys went on high alert. Did something happen?

Haru dropped to the ground and she pulled out a piece of paper. "T-Tsuna, what's going to happen to Dino-san? I got this emergency letter. D-did something happen to Dino-san? Is he okay? He's going to be okay, right? He's not going to die is he?" Haru frantically asked questions on the verge of breaking down crying again.

"What does it say?" Tsuna asked.

Haru shook her head frantically, tears running down her face. "I don't know! Haru opened the letter but it was blank! The only thing on the top if a drawing of a flame!"

Reborn walked up to Haru and took the letter from her hands.

He grabbed Tsuna's hand and held it under the letter. "Light your flame." He instructed.

Doing as he was instructed Tsuna lit him flame and letters formed themselves. Everyone started to read the letter quickly.

"Tsuna, this isn't good. The famiglia took heavy damage and they'll continue doing so if the group keeps targeting the innocent. The Cavallone famiglia would never allow for the innocent to be involved in their issues." Reborn said.

Tsuna nodded his head looking down at the frantic Haru. She did a good job running all the way over with the letter. She must've been very worried, but why did she get the letter?

As if reading his mind, Reborn gave him an answer.

He knelt next to Haru and pulled something out of her pocket, it was Enzio! "This turtle has a tracking device on it. So if there are any important messages, they are sent to where Enzio is. Knowing that Enzio stayed in Japan, someone must've sent out this message." He explained.

Why would Enzio be bugged you ask? Well, a certain boss was always jumping on the first plane if he heard any dangerous rumors. So it was always a hassle trying to locate their boss, so secretly Enzio was bugged with a tracking device.

Tsuna nodded his head, "Alright, we're going to lend Dino-san a hand." He said.

"Not all of you. Some of you have to stay behind just in case something happens. They already know that Dino came to Japan, so they probably know that Vongola will retaliate if anything happened. Since they still attacked, no one knows if they'll hit here next. Some of you need to stay behind just in case." Reborn advised.

Tsuna's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, biting his lips nervously.

"Juudaime! I'll go! I'm from Italy and I know my way around so it'll be useful if I go." Gokudera volunteered himself.

Understanding that having him go would be a good idea, he agreed to let him go. Mukuro also probably knew his way around but he wasn't the type to help them so he was out of the question.

The next on his mind was the strongest of the Vongola guardians.

"Haru, go and tell Hibari what happened. After that, go home." Reborn told her.

She looked at Tsuna worriedly, tears still in her eyes. Her anxieties were getting the best of her. Tsuna smiled at her and nodded his head, trying to tell her that all would be fine.

Haru nodded her head slowly and she made haste towards the school because even if classes weren't in session over the weekend, Hibari was surely hanging out at the school.

After making sure that Haru was no longer in earshot, Yamamoto spoke up. "Tsuna. I'll go too. I'll make sure that Dino-san will come out of this alive." Yamamoto said.

Tsuna was okay with Hibari and Gokudera going since Gokudera knew the area and Hibari was strong but he wasn't sure if he wanted Yamamoto to go.

This would lessen their defenses in Japan.

Yamamoto had a serious look on his face and he wasn't easy to convince otherwise when he was in this state. "You have to tell me why." Tsuna argued.

Looking down, he answered, "I just want to make sure Dino can come back safely. I couldn't live with myself if he died and Haru cried her eyes out over him." He answered honestly.

Tsuna would probably do something similar if Kyoko had someone she loved the most in the world. Tsuna would do his best to keep that person safe to safe her from her tears.

"You like Haru-chan, don't you?" Tsuna asked.

Sporting a bitter smile on his face, he smiled. "Ha ha! I can't hide anything from you, can I? Please don't tell Haru. I don't want her to feel guilty over this. Dino-san has done a lot for us and I'd like to return the favor." Yamamoto added.

Tsuna was reluctant to let Yamamoto do this but he seemed so determined to do this, he couldn't tell his friend no.

"Promise me you'll come back safely. Both of you. I won't forgive you if you don't." Tsuna said.

Gokudera and Yamamoto both nodded their heads resolutely. "Of course Juudaime/Yeah, alright."

Later Hibari came over to announce that he was definitely going over there. How dare that herbivore lose to a bunch of weaker herbivores? What would that make him, who learned under Dino? That's right, that would make him a loser.

Hibari Kyouya was no loser. He was going to bite everyone to death. Everyone.

It was decided that Tsuna and Ryohei would stay behind to protect everyone else and he would soon send word to Kokuyo land that they would have to be wary as well. It was going to be tough, but they'll somehow manage.

Ahhh Yamamoto. I love you. You precious baby. I'm sorry.

Hope you all enjoyed this!
