(A/N) IM SO SORRY I DIDN'T UPLOAD A CHAPTER FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS! I do have a good reason for it, no it not because of my thesis for my English class (I'm still working on that though) its because my laptop wouldn't open google chrome and it kept crashing every time it did so now I'm going to have to use internet explore (its so slow). I would take my laptop to get fix but the only problem is that I'm broke. Alright now that I'm done rambling about my problems lets get on with the chapter. So without futher a due enjoy!
Chapter 14: Stepping In
Reborn made his way inside the Vongola mansion there Timoteo was waiting for him along with his guardians. Even the Chiavatone Famiglia and Varia were there but that was because of Reborn requesting their presence. Standing in front of them Reborn was prepared to give the old man and everyone the bad news. Tilting his fedora Reborn looked at Timoteo with serious eyes, the atmosphere went still as they waited for Reborn to speak. Not wasting anytime He spoke three words that made eveyone freeze.
"Tsuna was kidnapped"
The room suddenly was in an uproar at the news. Squalgo was yelling at how it was possible, Dino was very frantic at the news that his little bro was kidnapped. Eveyone loud voice started to now overlap one another.
"Enough" Timoteo said his powerful voice making everyone freeze "This is not a situation in which we need to be fighting over, as of this moment finding Tsuna will place top priority for the Vongola and our allies"
With Teimon command everyone agreed immediately, they all quickly talk among each other to discuss who will be in charge with what. As the others talk Reborn and Timoteo were having their own conversation. Mostly Timoteo asking different questions to get a better understanding on the situation and on how Tsuna getting kidnapped could have ever happen. Timotieo hated the idea of Tsuna in some unknown location in danger just the thought of it made him enrage. He always saw Tsuna as one of his grandchildren and will not show mercy to the one who dared to come and take who he holds dear to him.
'When we find who took Tsuna he will know the rath of the Vongola and our allies'

Mukuro had not slept a wink all night while he was in front of the computer. Rubbing his tired eyes he reached to grab the coffee that was beside the computer. Noticing that he ran out of coffee he cursed and went to get some more.
Pouring the coffee in his cup Mukuro took a sip and went back to the computer. So far he has not come anyway close to finding the man's identity. Not in the public records or the Mafia records it was like the man suddenly popped up into thin air. Mukuro scoffed at his own thoughts, no one is untraceable not even Reborn, difficult yes but not impossible.
'He knows Tsuna, so he has got to have met him at one point somewhere. There's also that ability he has that has me concern. It's not a dying will flame. No it's something much darker, something that no normal person is able to wield. 'Minutes has passed with Mukuro thinking about the man's ability. Then suddenly an idea clicked in his head. He headed over to the other side of the room that was filled with books. Scanning over the titles he found what he was looking for.
'I hope I'm wrong with this because if I'm right then the situation just got a whole lot complicated. '

While Gokudera was with Yamamoto he got a call from Reborn saying that he will arrive in Japan in the next 6 hours. During this time Gokudera must gather all the guardians and meet in the hospital where Ryohei is staying at. He was also told that Vongola purchased the entire floor that Ryohei is staying at so that all of them could discuss in private.
Gokudera sighed when he hung up the phone. Getting Yamamoto and Chrome to come won't be a problem. The real problem is somehow getting Hibari and Mukuro in the same room without killing each other. But before worrying about that he's going to somehow locate Mukuro since he pretty much went M.I.A on everyone not even Chrome knows where's he at. Gokudera could already feel a headache comings along just thinking about it, he mentally apologize to Tsuna for all the times he's had to out up with everyone.
"Who was on the phone, Gokudera" asked Yamamoto
"Reborn"
"Eh! You contacted him" Yamamoto looked at Gokudera in surprise he knew that they were going to need to contact everyone, but he didn't know that Gokudera had already done so. "What did he say."
"He said to gather all the guardians and meet up in Ryohei room in the next 6 hours"
"That should be easy"
"Yeah except for the fact that Mukuro went M.I.A and even if we do find him I'm going to somehow figure out how to put that bastard and Hibari in the same room" groaned Gokudera
Yamamoto chuckled at Gokudera predicament, it reminded him of when Tsuna used to complain about Hibari and Mukuro. The only difference is that Tsuna is more of a pacifist while Gokudera on the other had will blow up an entire building just to get his point across.
"Hey baseball idiot" said Gokudera
"Yeah"
"You to get Chrome while I get Hibari and somehow figure out where that damn pineapple is hiding"
"Sure" said Yamamoto "six hours from now, right"
"Yeah six hours"
Bidding their farewells Yamamoto headed back to his house while Gokudera went on to find Hibari. It didn't take long to find Hibari than expected. While walking the streets Gokudera spotted Hibari in a alleyway beating up some thugs. Sighing slightly Gokudera started to walk toward Hibari.
"Oi Hibari" said Gokudera. Hibari look in his direction in irritation the thug notice that Hibari was distracted and mad a run for it.
"Speak now" Hibari said while holding up his tonfa his voice laced in irritation
"Calm down and those down" Gokudera fingers twitched slightly while he had his hand hovering over some dynamite that were hidden in his cloth, "I have a message from Reborn"
"The baby"
"Yeah he said that in six hours that all of us must meet at the hospital that Ryohei is staying at"
"I distaste crowding" growled Hibari
"Look we are going to have the whole floor where Ryohei his staying at booked to our self so I don't give a damn where on the floor you're at just be there"
Hibari frowned slightly before clicking his tongue and leaving. Gokudera knew that no matter how much Hibari hates crowding He will still come especially since it was Reborn who called him. 'One down one more to go.' Gokudera thought to himself before leaving the alleyway.

Tsuna and Abie were now heading back to the mansion after their heavy conversation. Abie notice that the atmosphere was light and warm instead of awkward and stiff. Smiling slightly she followed Tsuna as he entered the house once more.
Abie lead Tsuna to his room so that he could change because while they were walking across the shoreline Tsuna somehow tripped into nothing and manage to get his cloth wet. She laughed quietly that the memory because not matter how much Tsuna insisted that he had trip over a rock she was positive that he tripped on thin air. Of course when he first fell she immediately went to his side to assist him.
"Angel-sama" Abie said grabbing Tsuna attention while he was changing
"Yes, what is it Abie"
"I'm afraid that I must leave your service for the time being because I am in charge of taking out the laundry today" Abie regretfully said while bowing "You are free to roam the mansion as you please, lunch will be served in the garden which is located in the back of the mansion, if you happen to get lost you can ask any staff member to show you the way and if you want a snack before lunch you may head over to the kitchen"
Tsuna became uncomfortable when Abie bowed truth be told he never got used to it when any staff member bows before him. Also Tsuna didn't like to idea of being by himself while wondering the mansion because he knew for a fact that he would get lost even if he ask any of the staff for directions. He didn't want to brother the man in fear that he may be getting in the way of whatever work that he is working on.
"Um can I stay with you Abie" Tsuan said shyly "I can even help you with the laundry is you want but if I become a burden you can tell me to leave"
Abie looked at Tsuna in shocked before smiling sweetly. Noticing that he got her approval he smiled brightly and hugged her. Lightly chuckled Abie hugged Tsuna in return. Following Abie to the laundry mat Tsuna observed the layout of the mansion. It was way different from the first not only was this one bigger it was also brighter. Tsun a smiled to himself he liked the change since the other mansion was too gloomy, dark for his liking.
"We're here Angel-sama" Abie announce
Abie went on to pick up a bit basket full of white sheets. Thinking that the basket was very heavy Tsuna offered to help her carry it. Abie politely decline Tsuna offer saying that the basket was not that heavy and that she could handle it. Making their way outside Tsuna and Abie began to have a light conversation.
"How are you coping from the sudden move Angel-sama" asked Abie
"Fine, this mansion is much larger than the last but it lighter and has a warm feeling to it"
"Warm feeling?"
"Yeah" Tsuna began explained "The last mansion felt gloomy almost heavy like one couldn't let their guard down for a second in fear of something awful happening while this mansion is bright and warm, calming even, it's to the point that we could all enjoy each others company without any fear"
Listening to Tsuna explanation Abie couldn't help but agree with him. Even she has notice the drastic change of everyone's moods. Smiling slightly they coninue to walk until they reached their destination.
Putting the basket of cloth down Abie began to hang the cloth on the cloth line. Humming softly Abie closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm weather and light breeze. Tsuna decided to sit down on the grass and listen to Abie hum. While both Tsuna and Abie enjoying each others company they simply close off the world around them.
It looks like they had been in their won little world got so long because when they finally got out they both heard bells. While Tsuna looked around confused Abie knew it was the signal for lunch.
"It's looks like it is time for lunch Angel-sama" announced Abie while picking up the empty basket
"huh really? Is it lunch time already" said Tsuna
"It appears so" answered Abie "looks like were both seemed to have been daydreaming so long that the hours just flew by"
Taking the basket back to the laundry mat Abie then escorted Tsuna to the garden where lunch will be served.
