Chapter 14 – Clams Will Be Clams

Summary: Just the little things that they're better off not noticing.

A/N: O-O… Sorry for the late update, minna-san! Just that the pc I'm using is really jet-lagging on me and this chapter was a bit hard to do too. T_T. Anyway, I present to you the 4th chapter… "Clams Will Be Clams"! (oh, btw, in this chappie, the "facts" will be presented in chronological order, that is, from Vongola I – X. I'll be using Roman numerals.) Oh, and I advise you guys to first google "Reborn Wiki" and then when you get there, look for the article that is entitled "List of Vongola Bosses" since I imagine you guys won't know nuts about Vongola bosses apart from Giotto and Tsuna and possibly Timoteo. It'd be easier to understand what I'm referring to.

I. Giotto actually went for therapy in his Vongola boss days. After all, with G's short temper, Asari's constant flute-playing getting on everyone's nerves, Lampo's brattyness, Knuckle's insistent prayers and saying "Amen!", Alaude's handcuffing of people who breathe the wrong way and Daemon's "nufufufu-ing", who wouldn't? It's a wonder that Giotto managed to hang on to his sanity.

II. Ricardo is Xanxus's great-great-great-great grandfather. The similarity is obvious, right down to the expression on their faces. Even the way they eat is the same, that is, chucking the plate of food at the nearest person.

III. Vongola Terzo firmly believes that mohawks are what TRULY signify a Vongola boss's stature. But since his guardians told him that he looked kind of stupid in a mohawk, he changed his hairstyle into one which involved him being almost bald, with 2 horns of hair sticking out in front and back – giving him the look of a giant rhino.

IV. Aside from being a Vongola boss, Vongola Quarto was also a food gourmet. This is why his weapon is a huge flaming fork.

V. Vongola Quinto's weapon – a katar, is apparently what it's called, is unique in itself. Besiees from being a formidable two-pronged weapon, it's also used to skewer meat and barbecue it. This is also why the katar can emit flames. It's a self-barbecuing skewer in itself!

VI. Simora had a hard time choosing his weapon before settling on a boomerang. He tried a hammer – not the ordinary one, but the one that is a great iron ball with a chain on it – but discarded that when he ended up smashing his own foot. He then tried something that looked vaguely like a hairbrush. He chucked that too, when people mistook him for a hairdresser. At last, before choosing the boomerang, he chose a big stick – a staff – but ended up sticking himself in… where it hurt. The most.

VII. Despite having the weakest flame, Fabio still managed to epically set fire to his moustache by accident. It took him at least a year before he got it back to his original length.

VIII. Many people suspect that Daniela might be Haru's ancestor, albeit a cooler, fiercer looking version of her. Maybe it's because of the ponytail, but some people are expecting Haru to become a leader of sorts in the future.

IX. Timoteo caused his mother, Daniela, a lot of trouble when he was a kid. It didn't help that he would sometimes burst into his mother's room, take her crossbow and play with it. This is also why Daniela has that flowery tattoo on her face. She didn't go to a tattoo-parlour, it was the result of a particularly energetic 5-year-old Timoteo and one flaming crossbow. Incidentally, this is also how Daniela discovered that Timoteo had the sky flame. He accidentally lit it up one day and shot it at his mum's face.

X. Tsuna is the current Vongola boss. The name Vongola is almost synonymous with him. Unfortunately, this conflicts with the fact that Tsuna hates eating clams. This is the one fault that makes him absolutely unsuitable for the position of a Vongola boss.

A/N: My comp has died. Literally. Bah. Anyway, next chapter shall be on the more minor characters of KHR, since I feel that they need some time in the limelight once in a while. Also because RealityBitez suggested it. Hm, I wonder what the next chapter should be on…?
