Unexpected

'Geez Gokudera!' Yamamoto laughed. 'You're automatic with Tsuna-chan when it's just us alone!' he teased Gokudera playfully.

'I can't help it since we do it a lot! It's like, reflex when thankfully, it's just us!' Gokudera sputtered while blushing, and licking Tsunako's fluids off his fingers. 'Besides, you're automatic too so you're in no place to tease me! You're fondling Juudaime's glorious globes ON reflex!' he cried accusingly while pointing at Yamamoto fondling her while she sat on his lap.

'Eh?' Yamamoto looked to see he was indeed doing it...

'Oh, my breasts are called glorious globes now, Hayato?' Tsunako purred while enjoying her lovers' touches.

'W-well living with a pervert for years I'd be an expert on womanly beauty...' Gokudera admitted with a blush. 'I learned even if I don't want to!'

'Well, fox women are known for beauty human women envy them for.' Tsunako smiled. 'Our soul combined with human belief in us changes our human bodies to suit those expectations you know. Our limitation is the genetics our bodies possess but we'll still be beautiful. I'm 1/4 italian and 3/4 japanese. My youkai soul picked the best traits in my genes for me to come out beautiful and intelligent befitting a fox. And children we sire will get their parents' best traits. The rest is up to upbringing. Well, when we have children one day, you will understand...all of you will father my children, right?' she asked them coyly.

'Of course!' Gokudera and Yamamoto chorused happily.

'Fufufu...being a happy family is all what we should be other than being a mafioso. Its more important than the darkness in what we are brings.'

One day, on the promised date...

The Ninth Generation of Vongola arrived in Namimori, with a Vindice in tow.

They headed for school, and school is still ongoing.

'Vongola Nono and associates, welcome.' Shamal greeted as they all settled in the infirmary when they felt an incredible overwhelming presence in school.

'That is?!' Brow Nie Jr. gasped out. This presence is incredibly powerful!

'She sensed your presences.' said Shamal calmly. Since he knew what it was beforehand, he wasn't scared at all. 'She'll be determining if you're friend or foe based on your reaction. If you're a threat, she'll come killing because her ahem, many husbands are in this school. They and her future children will always be her first priority and everything and everyone else can go hang.' he said snarkily. 'And given her upbringing, it'll be quite the challenge on both her and Vongola itself when she becomes Donna Decima.'

Suddenly, a flaming fox appeared in the Infirmary, bearing the beautiful color of pure Sky Flames.

'Ojouchan, these guys are your predecessors.' Shamal told the fox shikigami. 'No harm no foul, but they're here to meet the tenth generation. You. Come here with your boyfriends during lunch break, alright?' the fox burst into flames, disappearing.

'Is that...?' Coyote gasped out, and like the rest of them, he was stunned.

'A shikigami of hers.' Shamal filled in. 'She mostly uses them as messengers, and her sighting pranks since Namimori is not Kyoto.'

'It still all too surreal.' Timoteo mused. 'I met Hagoromo Gitsune sixteen years ago, when Iemitsu practically dragged me to Kyoto to meet his girlfriend and fiancee. I never knew she and her daughter Nana-san are foxes.'

'Well, there's more to this world than flame-using humans as the supernatural side at any rate.' Shamal grinned. 'There must also be youkai in other parts of the world. But when modernization came by and nobody believes in them anymore, they died out. But Japan's population is very healthy due to the japanese adhering to tradition and superstitious beliefs, balancing modernization...that, and they prank humans on occasion to remind them that they exist, and to keep reliving their tales.' he said. 'Pranks and the occasional peek-a-boo, but never attack and kill. If they broke that one rule, everyone else is obliged to hunt down and kill the rule-breakers to set as an example with the offender having nowhere in Japan to run to. That is the order of the current Lord of Pandemonium, Nura Rikuo.' he said. 'Due to this order I have to occasionally steal livers off hospitals.'

'I see...'

'Er, livers?' Bouche asked, baffled.

'Some species of youkai need to eat human livers or hearts as sustenance if extreme injury with no healer available were to happen, or just gain power the quick way.' Shamal told them. 'The myths call this Ikigimo. They contain the most concentrated amounts of spirit energy. The younger and healthier the better quality. In this case, young foxes need plenty of them one per month until toddlerhood is over, only occasionally needing them to prevent going into hibernation. Around winter Tsunako-chan gets really sleepy and by the time December came, she fell into slumber, I had to call the grandmother and that's how I found out how to wake her and her mother up and skip hibernating. Although them hibernating is a bit...dangerous.' he grinned impishly.

'If its that dangerous, why the heck are you smiling?' Timoteo scoffed.

'Their clothes tend to rip to shreds and turn into their true forms if fully into deep slumber.' seven men stared at him, dumbstruck. 'Boy, two of her guardian boyfriends have incredible lovers' reflexes on that girl when I got there with the goods. They were showing her their love while she's still sleeping!'

'...elaborate?' Schnitten asked the doctor who's now smiling goofily.

'Her Storm is fingering her and her Rain is happily groping her boobs while she sleeps, oblivious to everything.' several jaws dropped. 'Then again they do take turns sleeping with their shared boss-girlfriend.'

In the rings...the Primo Generation up to Ottavo can only choke just like their current wearers. The Primo spirit of the Mist Ring however, found this intriguing.

A demon in a human body to rule Vongola eh...?

Lunch Break...

'So our predecessors are here huh? I wonder what they're like?' Yamamoto wondered aloud.

'Oh, I'm sure they'll be extremely cool guys!' Ryohei chimed cheerfully.

'...you're a crowd as it is and you're making me go into a crowded room?' Hibari scowled.

'Maa maa Kyoya, its only for thirty minutes.' Tsunako smiled reassuringly. 'It won't take that long. This is also important so we know what to expect since we would be taking over their jobs after high school. They gave us that much time since they're...too old for the job while still managing to stay alive and kicking in a world and community where humans are the worser monsters. That's quite an impressive feat.' she said as she flared her fear for their protection, and to scare people. 'Well, time to meet and greet!' and they entered the infirmary to meet a bunch of old men.

The old men who soon met their very unusual successors, with the future boss wearing a smile similar to that of her grandmother's.

'Fufu...hello.' she greeted good-naturedly but with a sinister dark air behind her greeting. 'But I can see that we're not alone. Come out now...there are eight more of you here.' one of the Vindice showed up, causing Gokudera to freak out.

'Vindice?!'

'Oh, you mean the guys that would arrest me if I ate Reborn?' Tsunako mused thoughtfully in an adorable thinking pose. 'But he still smells so good I'm having a hard time holding back~'

'...and any Arcobaleno for that matter too.' Shamal drawled.

'...tcheee...'

Sawada Tsunako. the Vindice spoke.

'Yes~? What is it?' Tsunako asked him good-naturedly and is perfectly calm and OK since he is inferior to her in strength.

We have come here to confirm your body's humanity despite carrying the soul of a youkai. he said. Indeed, Reborn sent reports but to be double-sure, we will obtain samples in person.

'Ah~ its about that...oh well. These identity check-ups are so anal of you.' Tsunako pouted. 'So Reborn told the vindice I'm not entirely human eh? What's it all about~?'

'It greatly concerns your inheritance, the Vongola Rings.' Timoteo informed her. 'To be accepted by the living imprints of the Primo Famiglia in the rings, you must possess blood of Vongola. I must test you now, otherwise...'

'Otherwise?' Tsunako frowned.

'We will have to make Iemitsu forget all about you and Nana-chan, and erase records and evidences that you two existed while you two can return home to your community.' said Timoteo grimly. 'This means he must marry another woman to sire a new Vongola heir.'

'Ah~mother does not know that her husband and child are involved with the mafia so good luck explaining to her away as that is your job, should the ring fail to accept me. And taking father from her because he is her mate...will require a great amount of bloodshed as she will fight for it. Vongola will cease to exist if that happens. For us youkai, our mates and children are our whole world as its the price to pay in return for our long lives. If this ring did not accept me, you'd best prepare for a Day of Blood if father is to forget about us as she will certainly track Vongola down through father's smell to kill all of you.' said Tsunako as Timoteo took the ring off his aged ring finger and Tsunako took it for her to wear. Her words caused a terrible chill to the men present.

To Giotto, the Spirit of the Ring...he came into contact with Tsunako's Fear, enabling him to take form outside.

'Ohhhh?!'

'Oh my~!' Tsunako gasped, astonished to see a man in his twenties with a melancholic expression come out. 'Who are you?'

'I am Giotto, the Founder of Vongola.' Giotto greeted as he gazed upon Tsunako. 'I have seen your soul and tested your blood.' he said.

'Eh?! How?!' Ryohei gasped out. 'All she did is wear the ring!'

'The moment the successor wears the Vongola Ring...we, the living imprints of the previous successors witness the life of the inheritor. For us its like 'life flashing before our eyes' so to speak.' Giotto explained. 'Your life from cradle to present, no secrets hidden...even your worst moments of life. We see it all. The same will happen if you, her guardians wear the other rings.' he informed them.

"That means they even saw our lovey-dovey times too?! Oh dear!" Tsunako thought, mortified as Shamal took her hand and took his time obtaining samples. "Then again, its not just me but probably other bosses before me had their life laid bare like an open book too so I'm not alone in this!" she thought with a shudder. And the man's melancholic expression must be he is so used to seeing the good and the bad that the man is practically desensitized.

'Not only that...the rings possesses my blood starting from the day we obtained the Vongola Rings from a powerful woman to give us power for our ideals.' Giotto continued. 'While anyone can wear the six other rings watched over by my other guardians...the Sky Ring will ultimately decide through me. Your blood and worthiness as successor.' he said. 'We have confirmed your body and blood's humanity. However...'

'However?!' Gokudera gasped out as Giotto looked sheepish.

'I can't go back in the ring.'

Silence...

'W-what do you mean?' Timoteo gasped out. 'Why can't you go back?'

'The second Tsunako wore the ring...her powerful Fear combined with her flames is absorbed into the Ring as is what usually happens to all wearers.' Giotto explained. 'And as you know, youkai are created and given life by human belief. The italians have such strong beliefs that I am recreated and reborn as a Yuurei...did I get that right?' he asked Tsunako who nodded.

'Hai. Humans who die and exposed to youkai youki are reborn as youkai.' Tsunako explained. 'This is why from the Edo Era backwards when darkness and human belief is at its strongest, Yuurei and Onryo are the most common youkai around in Japan. Essentially you are created by the Ninth Generation and your exposure to me. Those two are requirements for a human soul to be reborn as a Yuurei. So Founder-san, congratulations on having a second life, I suppose.' she said. 'And as long as Vongola has strong beliefs of you, your existence will be maintained by Vongola itself, so have fun because right now, you live as long as Vongola lives. And only youkai can kill you. No human can.' she chirped a tad too cheerfully.

'Ehhhhh?!'

...well...this is unexpected. the Vindice said blandly, his left hand reaching for his cheek and scratch it with a finger. I will have to talk about this with the others. I have already obtained the sample from Trident Shamal as is my purpose. and he was gone through a black hole.

Now, what to do with the now-reborn Vongola Founder?

Vendicare...

Talk about troublesome... Bermuda, the Leader of Vindice twitched. And unexpected. Looks like we have to explore more of this world by talking to the Lord of Pandemonium. However, a Sky cannot be alone but given their history...things will be a little...interesting.

How so, Bermuda? another asked the tiny infant vindice.

That man who is the catalyst to Vongola's bloodshed will return as well. As a youkai no less. If things get too much, I suppose we can just have them clean him up.

Back at the school...

We have decided. the Vindice came back. There are seven rings. Therefore there must be Seven Founders as well. he declared, causing Giotto and the ninth generation to glance worriedly at Bouche's Mist Ring.

'...while I don't mind, G, Lampo and Alaude will blow a gasket.' said Giotto.

Nonetheless, you're no longer our problem after this as you now belong to the youkai. But the laws of Mafia and the elements of flames must be adhered to and followed. You are a Sky with a complete Famiglia so all of them must be out with you as well. the Vindice told him. However while your famiglia can come back, you cannot rule Vongola a second time or we will put our foot down, so to speak. and he's gone again.

'Well, shall I?' Tsunako spoke, her hands blackened with her Fear.

'Tsunako, did Reborn tell you about the history of Vongola?' Timoteo asked her nervously.

'Nope.' the men's faces fell. 'Reborn had me study management of the famiglia and history can come last.'

'They look kinda despairing.' Yamamoto whispered to the others who nodded. 'Wonder why?'

'Saa...'

'Erm lady and gents, perhaps to avoid destroying this school, we should revive the others elsewhere after school?' Shamal suggested. 'So in the meantime, stay in some hotel or something! If all of them come out, this school will be demolished by bickering alone!'

Hibari flared his malice at this, and threatened the elderly to NOT mess with his school.

That afternoon, at the abandoned areas...Tsunako came alone because seriously, this is NOT her mess to clean. She had told her boyfriends not to come because this isn't their mess. In fact, as soon as she creates the other guardians, she would ditch the first and ninth generation because her only concern is her family and that's it. She also didn't take to well that Vongola will tear her parents apart if she wasn't Vongola enough. Call her vindictive but that's what foxes are.

'Here we go.' Tsunako fired her fear at the rings. Once the rings absorbed her fear...six more figures came out. Once the others came out with their attention elsewhere...Tsunako made herself scarce.
