Chapter 11
Tsuna snuggling his body between his soft and fluffy bed in his bedroom. These days his life haven't been as hectic as it was in his early year as middle schooler, but he still always missed the comfort his bed will give in night like this. It's still totally dark outside, and his body still telling him that it's not his time to awake soon.
Suddenly a heavy force hit his body that's being wrapped by the blanket. He quickly gaping for some air as something clutch him tightly from above his body and wrapped itself around his waist. Silently cursing his instinct that seems to switched off somehow his eyes snapped open and widen at the figure that have able to came to his room without being noticed by anyone at this time of hour.
"Fuuta?!" Tsuna stare at the brown haired boy who smiling at him while hugging him in the bed.
"Good morning Tsuna-nii! I missed you so much!" Fuuta who have abandoned his character in school latching into his favourite brother. Not wanting to let go him after not seeing him for a year.
"H..how did you get in?! And the heck...what time is it now?" Tsuna just realized how heavy his eyes is and glancing at the clock beside his bed, it shows 02.00 number. "It's not even morning yet!"
Fuuta just giggle and glancing at him from his position, "It's already past midnight, isn't it called morning already?"
Tsuna just sighing at the not so little anymore boy and ruffle his hair in affection when his room door suddenly blasted open to show his right and left man arrived with shocked face. They must have heard of the commotion before, because soon the rest of the guardians appeared behind them, all with their serious face. When they saw a person is holding their boss in the middle of the dark room, Gokudera and Yamamoto quickly pull out their weapon and ready to launch to him.
"Who are you?! How did you get in here?!" shouts Gokudera.
Fuuta just giggles at them and still clutching tight into his brother. Tsuna shook his head in amusement, and then reached for the small table beside his bed. He push one of the button on the table, and then the light finally came to his room.
When they finally able to see clearly on the room, all eyes snapped at the sight of the mysterious person who still clutching tight into their boss.
"FUUTA?!"
Wearing a shirt with thick jacket covers it, and his usual smile plastered on his face Fuuta turn to his brothers and sister, "Tadaima. Sorry to wake all of you up."
Tsuna furrowed, "You didn't say sorry to me."
"Ahahaha...oh yeah, sorry too Tsuna-nii. I'm just too excited to see you again."
Tsuna smiled at him and ruffle his hair again, "Apology accepted lil bro."
"Ahahaha~ You looked healthy there!" Yamamoto put his sword back as his body relaxed at the familiar figure.
"Tch...don't came like an assassin like that you little brat," Gokudera scowling at the still smiling boy.
"Hahahaha! He's just extremely missed his brother octopus-head!"
"But not by waking us up in this kind of hour too! And don't call me octopus!"
In their back Chrome just tilting her head between the two bickering boys to see the little surprising guest. When Fuuta noticed her, he wave his hand and smiling wide at her. Chrome smiles back and nodding her head, then went back to her room without saying anything. Her business with Fuuta could wait till sunrise. Mukuro already disappeared as soon as he know who's the one in responsible for the commotion.
"How did you get in here?" Hibari suddenly walk up with piercing eyes. He was one of the person in charge of the mansion's security, and to have a small brat with no fighting abilities to pass his security is definitely a big no.
"Oh, around this time is the number one time when all of the guards are off guard and the security system having a blink of delay. But don't worry Kyoya-niisan, only I knows of this, and it's just for a brick of seconds so no one accept me will be able to get to use this information," Fuuta said innocently.
Hibari twitching at the new information as he quickly turned around and walked out of the room. Tsuna groaned at the sight, cause he knows Kyoya will definitely walk straight to the security room and give them some biting for this. Well at least now they knows another flaws in their security and Kyoya will definitely make sure it was fixed by the morning.
"Did you have just arrived?" ask Yamamoto as he and the other left walk inside the room.
"Yeah, the car picked me up a few hours ago, and when we arrived I just can't wait till morning to see Tsuna-nii!"
"Are you sure it's okay for you to just leave the school like that? It's still in the middle of school year right?" Gokudera took a sit at the chair near the bed as he relaxed himself from the previous cautious.
Fuuta nodded at the bomber, "The school was actually delighted at that. They always approve anything Tsuna-nii is asking them too, seems like the chairman is Tsuna-nii's fan too."
Tsuna sweatdropped at the again new information. Just how much his popularity spread too? "Why don't you go and get some sleep till it's really morning? We can then talk again with the other. I'm sure Lambo and I-Pin missed you too."
Fuuta's face brighten at the mention of his siblings, and he nodded enthusiastically. He then crawl closer to Tsuna and face him with pleading eyes. "Can I sleep here with you for tonight?"
Tsuna smile at his spoil brother again, "Sure. Just for tonight okay?"
Fuuta nodded happily and soon threw his jacket off and went inside the blanket, reaching for his brother inside it.
The three guardians just smile at the scene. Fuuta is actually the less spoiled one between him, Lambo and I-Pin. But seems like away from Tsuna for a long time could change it. Tsuna then faced his friends and bid them goodnight again as they walked out of the room. He turn to Fuuta who already fell asleep beside him, clutching onto him tightly in his sleep, and can't help but smiling at the sight. It's always feel good when your family came back home.
Silently he turn off the light again, and joining Fuuta inside the blanket, giving a small pat on his hair as he close his eyes.
"Okaeri, Fuuta."
When Tsuna enters the dining room with Fuuta beside him, they were immediately tackled by Lambo and I-Pin who have heard of their brother's arrival from the other who arrived first in the dining room. Tsuna just laugh at his 3 siblings around him hugging each other, with Lambo shouting at Fuuta how mean Gokudera has been to him all this time with teary eyes. Tsuna could only watch in amusement as Haru tries to hold his boyfriend from tackling the cow boy.
The breakfast then going cheerfully with Fuuta now filling his position again between Lambo and I-Pin. Tsuna watch them passing around the food they hate and like to each other plate, like how they used to do in Sawada House's dining table. He really miss these scene, and how he hope Fuuta could stay longer and even go back to Namimori with them for a while, because his mother definitely missed him too.
After breakfast, the Santos family excused themselves as they went back to their own mansion. It seems like with Shira's have been staying longer than planned at the Vongola mansion, making their schedule quite messed up, so she have to go back for a while to do her work. Enma accompanied her back, as he also worried about his guardians. But mostly because Shira's been showered him with silence pleading eyes as she explain about her returning.
Dino and Bianchi also went with them. As they planned to form an alliances with the Santos too, and since they have spare time now, they think it will be better to do it soon. So that leaves the Vongola family all by themselves again in their mansion. And with that, Tsuna gather all of his family members for a meeting.
In the 10th generation's meeting room, Tsuna sat in the head of the table. The rest of his guardians sits around him, and the other follow suit. Tsuna stare at all of his completed family member (Mukuro went back by his order that morning) and smile at them, "It's good to see us gather like this again. Especially now with Fuuta is here," he give a look at the boy seat at the other end of the table, and he smiles back.
"Okay, let's start filling each other what we have found in the past couple of days."
All of them then filling the other about their new information. About Santos family's power, Chrome and the other's update about their missions, and Kyoko's preparation for today's meeting. This kind of meeting is common to happen between the 10th generation ever since Tsuna and his guardians starting to get missions from the Ninth. Tsuna always held this kind of meeting when they have been busy with stuff and he still want to make sure everyone in the family knows what the other member have been doing. With this, they could share information to each other to ensure everyone's safety and well being.
"Are you extremely okay with always being inside the man's mind like that?" Ryouhei ask Mukuro who sits in his left.
"Kufufufu~ I actually enjoyed watching over his mind. The small person think nothing but mischievous stuff all the time, and he even gave me some new inspiration for my illusions," Mukuro smirking evilly to no one, but everyone could feel the smirk means nothing good for the next person that assigned to be interrogated by the male illusionist.
"What kind of stuff do you mean?" I-Pin ask innocently from other side of the table.
Mukuro was already smirking and ready to open his mouth when a sharp glare suddenly pierce through him from Chrome who sit just across him, and I-Pin's ears suddenly being covered by Kyoko and Haru who sits right around her. Both of them glaring at the pineapple head too, adding to Chrome's glare. Mukuro then shut his mouth with widen eyes at the scene. His earlier experience already told him not to make any trouble with the Vongola's girl.
"Shut your damn mouth," Kyoya added his glare with his tonfa raised.
"Oya..oya...since when I accept any order from you Skylark-kun?" his smirk not leaving his mouth. If Hibari is his opponent, than he will be more than willing to comply.
Kyoya was sending more death glare at him when suddenly a petite hand raised in front of him from his left, and he stare at his girlfriend who stare back at him. Chrome give silent word to Kyoya, then face his master who have turn his attention to her too.
"Mukuro-sama, please don't say anymore word," just with the short words, Chrome beams her smile at him, looking so sweet and innocent. But Mukuro catch her other intentions behind the so sweet smile, and not planning to drag this trouble further..
"Kufufufu~ whatever you wish dear Chrome."
"You too Kyoya, it's not good to make any trouble in the middle of meeting like this," Chrome stare at her boyfriend, who then didn't say anything except sit back in his former position.
Now that the situation is in control again, all eyes turn back to the person on the head of the table, who have been silently watching over the scene from his big seat.
"Thanks for the help Chrome," he smile his thanks to her only female guardian. "Now, we shouldn't waste anymore time. All of us gonna be busy today. I'm gonna telling everyone's schedule for the day then. First is for today's meeting with the Cuardio Family. Is everything ready Kyoko-chan? Kyoya?"
When all eyes turn to her, since Hibari just silently closing his eyes as usual, Kyoko nodded with her smile, "Yeah, we've got it covered. You'll see good result from us, Tsuna-kun."
"Okay then, good luck both of you. Just make sure you guys okay there. I'll trust you on that Kyoya," he turn to his cloud guardian who still in his former position.
"Hn...you don't have to remind me."
Tsuna just smile at that as he continue on, "Next Chrome, Mukuro, and Takeshi gonna continue their investigation on our former allies family. About that, I think Takeshi needed to be sent out as well as a cover in other famiglia, since Mukuro have found nothing on the one before, and we can't waste more time. Oh, and skipped that guy from now on, I think he's just a waste of time," Tsuna face Mukuro and his eyes turned cold at the mention of the man who Mukuro claim to only think of indecent stuff. All of them didn't comment a word about it, just silently agreeing while holding their cold sweat from seeing Tsuna's eyes. No one want to make any problem with Tsuna showing that eyes.
"Whatever you say Tsunayoshi-kun," Mukuro able to hide his cold sweat and manage to answer calmly.
"I think Chrome could handle it just fine by herself. What do you think?"
Chrome then nodded to her boss, "I can do it. I already have plan for that."
"That's good then. So next is about that party, ugh…" Tsuna's face turned like he feel disgusted at the mention of the event. Making some people laugh at the sudden change of face.
"Those who I mentioned before could use today to take care of the things with Teo-san. It will be good if everything could be settle by tonight. As the party will be tomorrow night. I've approved the guest list last night, but if anyone want to add someone to the list it's okay. Oh, that reminds me. Fuuta, you want to invite your friends from your school?" Tsuna turn to Fuuta who stare back at him confusingly.
"Is that okay? I thought you already knows about the fangirls in the school," Fuuta shows unsure face. "If I invite only the mafia related family, I think it will be no problem though."
"What kind of fangirls do you mean? The one like those who sends the proposal letter and stuff?" ask Hana that sits on his right. Since Fuuta is not really acting like spoilt kid she somehow okay with his presence around her.
The boys suddenly tensed at the mention of the letter again. Each and every one of the 'taken' group quickly stole a glance at their partner, making sure nothing blows up anymore.
Fuuta giggles at the question and his brothers reaction, "Similar, but a bit different I guess? Since the one I acquainted more in the school is others from mafia family They admire Tsuna-nii and the other's strength and capabilities in battles more, rather than for their looks. Of course there are some who admire them because of their looks too, but the one impacting more is their strength. The story about our past battle even already being told like some history event in every mafia class every year. The girls especially admire Chrome-nee the most~!"
Chrome's face suddenly turned deep red at the news and she shyly lower her face, trying to cover her embarrassment with her bangs. The other boys who didn't expect of the news giving different reaction. Tsuna and Yamamoto just smiling with little blush on their face, Gokudera and Mukuro just saying it's obvious, Ryouhei shouting something about extremely taking students from the school to spar, Lambo laughing hard about his greatness, while Hibari just silently smirking with a smile on her face.
"Well, whatever it is, I welcome your friends to attend our party this week. Just remember to only invite those from mafia families okay?" when Tsuna received Fuuta's understanding nod, he continue on.
"Now, that leaves me, Hayato, Lambo, I-Pin, and Fuuta. I'll be attending a meeting with Hayato too today. And I want the three of you to come with us," he faced Lambo, I-Pin, and Fuuta whose face quickly brightened at the news.
"Are you really mean it Tsuna?!" Lambo stand from his feet and stare at him in disbelief. When Tsuna give his nod Lambo quickly smiling big. Yeay! I'm allowed to attend a meeting!" Lambo jumped from his seat and jumping around his chair while waving his hand up..
"Not just you! But us too!" shouts I-Pin with angry tone, but she looked really excited herself. While Fuuta just smiling at the scene but looked happy himself. Afterall, this is the three's first time to be allowed to attend a meeting with other family other than with the Simon, Cavallone, Giglio Nero, and Gestreo.
"Lambo, sit down properly. If you do that I'll reconsider this," Tsuna scold him but he was smiling happily at their reaction too.
Lambo freeze suddenly and he quickly sit back properly and putting up a pose like a diligent kid. Receiving a laugh from Yamamoto and Ryouhei who sits across them.
"Tch...be grateful kids. Make sure not to embarrass the Tenth or the Vongola. And remember, this is not a picnic!" Gokudera glare at the boy beside him.
"I already knows that Ahodera!" shout Lambo back.
Tsuna sighing and massaging his temple at the scene, "Hayato, Lambo, I will really appreciate it if you guys didn't do that in today's meeting." He already reconsider about sending both of them in the same meeting now.
THey quickly stop their bickering and turn their attention back at the brunette, "Of course Jyuudaime. My apologies!" Hayato bowing at Tsuna with his head touching the table.
"Hahaha, it's good for you kids. Good luck guys!" Yamamoto making guts pose at them, followed by the more energetic one from Ryouhei.
"It's not like they're gonna do anything on the meeting though. They will just be watching as me and Gokudera doing the meeting. It will be a good learning for them. So I hope you guys get ready for it. We will depart right after lunch," Tsuna tell the three, and they give their enthusiastic nod.
"Now, for the sensitive topic," Tsuna looked uncomfortable, and hugging himself like he's feeling cold as he stare at the empty table in front of him. Everyone could only watching in confusion of what is the matter.
"About Santos Family, as we already know they have quite a unique power, and someone is targeting them. As we don't know who is it right now, I was somehow have the feeling it will not be far from Chrome, Mukuro and Takeshi's target. So I want you guys to keep your eyes on it too," he stare at the three of them, and receive nod from Takeshi and Chrome.
"And I want to confirm again with everyone, that we are gonna support and protect the Santos as they are now part of our family. Is anyone object that?" he looked around the table and seeing no complaint. He smile his gratitude for that.
"So with that, we plan to investigate about their 'treasure' ourself because from what we have seen the past few days, neither Shira nor her family member knows about this so called 'treasure'. That's where Fuuta came," he look at his little brother and gave his apologetic smile. "Sorry for making you came for something like this."
Fuuta shook his head and smile at the Sky, "It will be my pleasure to be any help for you Tsuna-nii. So is that what you want me to find out?"
Tsuna gave a look at Chrome, who looked at him back, and give his nod at her. Chrome then face the little boy on the other end, "Um...could you look into what the most precious things for the Santos Famiglia is?"
Everyone gave their understanding "ooh" at Chrome's request. Now everyone finally understand what Fuuta is coming for.
Fuuta think about it for a second, then face her back, "Should I look into the one that have been in Santos Family's possession since they're founded?"
Chrome nodded, "Yes...that will be good."
"Okay then~" With that Fuuta stand up, and stared at the ceiling.
As Fuuta enter his ranking mode, his eyes turned into what seems to be outer space. The papers and empty chairs started to float up, along with the glasses and drinks.
"Hahi~! I should have drink that first!" Haru stare at her juice that's already floating high above her.
"Shut up! You could just drink another later!" shouts Gokudera.
"Ahahaha, this is always fun to see~"
"I hope I could extremely floating too!"
"Onii-chan, you're too heavy you know that," Kyoko said to her brother.
True, because everyone is growing up already, even Lambo and I-Pin didn't floating around anymore when Fuuta enter his ranking mode. And seems like they displeased at the fact.
Everyone keep their stare at Fuuta, who still staring at the ceiling like he's communicating with someone they couldn't see.
"It's me, Fuuta. Yes, yes I can hear you Ranking Star. Yeah….for the most precious thing in Santos Family. Number 3 is…" he turn his eyes to Tsuna, who gulping at the scene.
"...Their mansion…" Fuuta continue on.
"Huh? Mansion?" Hana furrowed her eyebrow.
"Sshh! He's not finished yet!" growl Gokudera.
"...number 2….is the family member…"
"Well, that is almost to be sure," comment Ryouhei while nodding his head.
"and Number 1 is…."
Everyone stay silent and wait for the revelation.
"...their boss."
Total silence. No one move and giving their comment about the rank. Fuuta then return back from his ranking mode and stare at everyone who looked really shocked somehow.
"Everyone? Are you okay?" ask him innocently.
"...what the hell?! That's all?! Nothing like ring or other treasure?!" Gokudera release his fury and frustrated shout.
"Ahahaha~ Guess they didn't have anything like that," Yamamoto just relaxed back on his chair.
"Now that is disappointing," Mukuro smirk at himself.
"Hn...useless."
"So what is this extremely mean!?" shout Ryouhei in confusion.
"T...this mean…" Chrome suddenly voice out, making everyone's attention revert to her. "That the target is really Shira-san…"
Tsuna furrowed, he somehow have a hunch about it. And he really didn't like it if he was right about it. Good thing he have told Enma to stay sharp and inform him if anything happened while they're away. If someone targeting other's boss and he's Vongola's ally, especially Tsuna's acquaintance, that means he have asked for a death sentence from them.
"That makes a new plan for us. Hayato, tell Yuni, Byakuran, and Xanxus that a meeting needed to be held today."
Kyoko wear a kind of clothes that she not used to wear today. Hana have helped her to choose something that will make her looked more adult and give professional aura around her. But Tsuna says to her not to overdo it, as they would usually keep a bit of teenager aura in their clothes. That makes Kyoko choose for a white short blouse, with an orange ribbon attached on her waist, and a black vest jacket as the cover. She let her hair that have grown till her shoulder goes as it is, and wear an orange boots that Tsuna gave her as pair for one of his own.
After exchanging 'good luck' with the other girls, Kyoko left to the limousine that have waited outside the mansion. Right outside the mansion door, stood Tsuna waited for her with Kyoko alongside him. They seems to talk about something before Kyoko came and took their attention. Tsuna stare at her dress, and give a shy smile with a bit of blush on his face.
"You look great Kyoko-chan."
Kyoko smiling happily while walking down to him. Tsuna himself have changed into formal clothes for his meeting, where he wear his usual orange shirt with black tie, suit and pants. A Vongola emblem attached on his right pocket on the suits, and his orange shoes match with Kyoko's one. One look at him and you wouldn't think twice with him being the boss, as he release his not usual aura around when he's dressed like this. He looked more calm, and his stare could melt any girl unwillingly.
"Thank you Tsuna-kun. You look great yourself."
Tsuna laugh at her, and with Kyoko's surprise he suddenly grab her into a hug and Kyoko could feel a warm feeling engulf her body, making her feel safe and calm. Tsuna keep the hug for a while and then whispered to her.
"Good luck ne? Don't worry about anything, just be yourself and you'll be okay."
Kyoko shook her surprise and hug him back, giving him the same comfort and warm touch that she receive. "Un...good luck with you too okay? It's not easy bringing three kids to a meeting."
Tsuna release the hug while laughing at her word, "You're right about that." He then opened the car door for her, and let her slip in with Kyoya already waiting inside. Not saying any word as he didn't want to disturb the two.
As the door close and Tsuna waving goodbye at them, the limousine started to move with Hibari's word. Kyoko face her hand on her lap, and feeling more calm than she feels this morning. I can do it. Tsuna-kun believe so, so I will too.
The journey is really quite, as both of them almost didn't say anything to each other even though they sit right across each other. Kyoko busying herself with the paper report, while Hibari just silently sit with closed eyes. But even Kyoko knows that he didn't sleep at all.
When they have arrived at the said mansion, the driver open the door for both of them, and Hibari swiftly walk out first. Kyoko have been told about the protocol stuff, and as she is the future boss's future wife, Hibari already say that he will treat her the same as he treat Tsuna. Which means total protection and security for her is confirmed already.
Hibari looked around in front of the limousine, and see some butler lining in front of the door's big mansion, waiting to welcome them. When he already sure that everything is in order and no danger lurking, he step aside to let Kyoko walk out.
Saying Kyoko a real beauty is overstatement, but saying her an ugly is definitely an extreme understatement. She maybe not as beautiful as Shira, but she carry her own characteristic, especially with the smile that always plastered on her face, making her looked so shining and giving somehow a similar vibe with her Sky.
So when the maids seeing the skylark that have visited a few times in the hallways not accompanied by the usual famous sky or her mist, they thought of her as another usual family member. But after seeing the protocol he use to guard her, even a maid would know who the girl is. Only someone with future high position gonna receive that, and the only position left is the next Boss's wife. That makes a lot of jealousy cry and sob heard in some far part of the mansion. It's not a secret that Tsuna have a lot of fangirls around everywhere.
"Hn...looks like you have broken some girl without doing anything," Hibari give his smirk to Kyoko who walked behind him.
Kyoko smile at him without showing any surprise, "I'm aware of that, and it will keep them from their day dream."
Hibari keep smirking at the girl's evil intention inside. Today's meeting gonna be interesting after all.
