[Chapter 14: To Italy!]

*Past*

Tsuna and the others continued to train with the help of their tutors. Gokudera was training by himself at first but when he was training alone in his training place, Dr. Shamal finally agreed to waste his time with Gokudera. Gokudera still doesn't know why Shamal started training him but it doesn't matter anymore.

It is Friday night. After the day's training everyone decided to go to Yamamoto's Sushi Shop to eat dinner. It was a treat by Yamamoto's dad for their trip to Italy. Yamamoto's dad doesn't know that what they were going to Italy for is a mafia war.

"We are here now, dad." Yamamoto said as he slides the door. Everyone greeted Yamamoto's dad.

"Oh, you're all here finally. Come seat and I'll make plenty of sushi for you. I bet you are hungry preparing for tomorrow's flight. Haha!" Yamamoto's dad said.

Everyone sat around a table. Tsuna thanked Yamamoto's dad for the sushi.

"You don't have to. I just wish you have a great trip there in Italy." Yamamoto's dad said as he makes sushi. Yamamoto serves water for everyone. "Come to think of it, why would you go there in the middle of the semester? Is it really something important that you have to go to Italy?"

Everyone became silent after what Yamamoto's dad asked. Tsuna finally came up with a reason.

"I won a lottery prize. It is a trip to Italy for 10. I was very lucky to have won it. Who could have imagined such great prize ever exists. Haha!" Tsuna laughed. Some of them laughed.

"Yeah you're right. What kind of lottery is that? I think I want to try it out."

Everyone became silent again. This time, Tsuna doesn't know what to say.

"Come on, Pops. Knock off the questions now. Let's just enjoy eating sushi." Yamamoto said.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. Now who wants this shrimp?"

While they were eating, Tsuna remembered about his Mist Guardian.

"Reborn, does Mukuro know that we're going to Italy?" Tsuna asked.

"I don't know. But Chrome knows. She'll come tomorrow at the airport don't worry."Reborn said as he gulps.

"Chrome? Another dangerous place awaits her."Tsuna sighed.

"She's needs to go with us. She has the Vongola ring."

"Yeah, but still…"

"Dino will take care of Hibari so don't worry. We'll definitely see Hibari in Italy."Reborn added.

"Oh yeah, what kind of reason did Irie made to his mom?"

"Your Dad arranged that for me. He told my mother that I have a free trip to Italy. I was sponsored by VF-Tech. Group Italy, a very amazing technology company in Italy. I guess that your dad only made that up. I mean I never heard about VF-tech group Italy." Irie said.

"Well, there is VF-tech group Italy. It really exists. It's actually called the Vongola Family Technology Group branch Italy."Reborn said.

They were surprised.

"But it's not known in the public. It's only inside the Vongola." He added.

"How about Spanner? He just came here in Japan." Tsuna asked.

"Yeah, but this situation is a lot more important. I can go back here whenever I like it."Spanner answered.

"Oh yeah, we've been very busy this past few days but I haven't heard about my sister. Is she in Juudaime's house?"Gokudera finally spoke.

"Oh yeah, I haven't seen Bianchi. Where is she this whole time?"Tsuna asked Reborn.

"She was home last Wednesday and I told her what happened to mama-n and the others so she hurried outside and flew back to Italy."Reborn stated.

"That's reckless!" Gokudera commented.

"Don't worry. She's going to be a spy. She'll help us." Reborn said with a grin in his face.

Tsuna remained silent as the gathering went on. He continues eating sushi and when his eyes laid on Gokudera, who is seating at his right side, he began to speak.

"What are you doing, Gokudera-kun?"Tsuna asked, still has the sushi in his mouth.

"Oh this is nothing, Juudaime. I was just writing some notes about my strategy plan in fighting." Gokudera answered with a smile as he removes his eye glasses.

He saw Spanner busying himself in his laptop. Ryohei was talking loudly and laughing with the rest. Irie was finally smiling. It's good that Irie has become comfortable with everyone. Yamamoto was making his carefree laugh on Basil's amazement in Japan's culture like how "Sushi" is very likable. Reborn was chitchatting with Iemitsu, who is drinking liquor. From Tsuna's friends, he realized something. They are very attached to one another. He has wonderful friends to be with him. Although they have their own dreams and goals in life, they will risk their lives just to help their friends. The laughter that they share will always be there. The bond among them will never be broken. Tsuna smiled. The others noticed his smile with full of emotions. They also smiled as they look at him without noticing.

The next day, Tsuna was checking his bag if he had brought all of his needs. He went out of the house and he saw Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Spanner, and Irie. They came smiling at Tsuna with a brave and determined expression.

"Let's go, Tsuna." Reborn said.

When he was ready to go and leave the house, he looked at his house one more time.

"I will definitely bring them back here." He said then looked at his left hand and slowly closed it. "And then, Yuuki and I will return back to our time."

A black expensive car was waiting for them. It was from Dino. They went inside the car. Iemitsu and Basil was already inside.

"Dino is with Hibari. He apologized for not coming here directly to fetch you."Iemitsu said. Everyone answered "That's okay."

They arrived at the Airport. There they saw Dino and Hibari waiting for them. Dino waves as he greeted his brother, Tsuna, and the rest.

"Wait! What about Chrome? Isn't she coming?" Gokudera said.

"Are you blind?" a voice said. It was Ken eating lollipop.

"Sorry, are we late?" Chikusa calmly asked.

"No, you're just in time." Reborn answered.

"Good morning, boss." Chrome greeted.

They went on to a private plane (probably owned by Dino). They got a very luxurious plane. They sat down and fastened their seatbelts. The plane started to move.

"I guess you hadn't had enough sleep. You may sleep for a while. The trip will be long." Dino suggested.

*Future*

"It has been almost a week, and nothing happened." Tsuna silently said as he looked at the sky from the bench where he was sitting on.

"Isn't that great?" Enma said as he blocks Tsuna's vision of the sky with his head.

"Enma-kun." Enma sat down beside Tsuna. "Yeah you're right and it reliefs me a little."

"We are here to help you so don't worry. Remember it's 4 against 1. Although I don't know if Utenza has other mafia groups siding with them."Enma said.

"Yeah. Maybe I should look at the bright side sometimes. You know how much I worry since I arrived here in the future."

"Tsuna-kun…" Enma looked at him with pity.

"I wonder what the others are doing at this moment. You know, the others in my time…"

"I bet they were doing something to help you return back to the past. I wish my past self could help you."

"But you came back to Italy after the…" Tsuna did not continue. Enma smiled on him.

"You don't have to worry about that event. It's all in the past. It's all a big mistake and misunderstanding." Enma said. "And even if Shimon came back to Italy after that battle, it'll be good if Shimon will help. Remember what I've told you before we go back to Italy?"

"To tell you if there is anything you could help in the Vongola and you'll tell me if there is anything the Vongola could help for you."Tsuna answered.

"I wish your future self could remember asking for help to Shimon. Haha." Enma said.

"I think he will."

*Past*

"Aaachoo…!" Tsuna sneezed in the middle of a great silence inside the plane.

"Did you catch a cold?" Reborn asked.

"No. I don't know why I just sneezed."

"Someone remembered you!" Basil interrupted. "There's a saying like that so maybe it is like that."

"Haha, he may be right."Yamamoto commented.

"And who could have remembered him? A girl?" Ryohei asked.

Everyone became silent. They stared at each other with different meanings.

"You might be thinking of Tsuna secretly?" Ryohei asked Gokudera.

"What? I mean…" Gokudera doesn't know how to react. He thought that if he says NO his boss might think badly of him.

"Speaking of girls, Tsuna I was wondering who Yuuki's mother is?" Yamamoto finally asked.

Everyone became very interested and they glued their eyes own Tsuna. Tsuna was sitting calmly his head was being supported by his left hand. The rest was very eager to know.

"She must be a very cute and smart girl, right my son?" Iemitsu said with a laugh.

"Yes. She is." Tsuna laughed. Everyone is being impatient and the plane became noisier and noisier.

"I wonder if I should really tell you about my girl. If I say it now, maybe my past self will never have the guts to do the move to posses her." Tsuna thought aloud.

"Is it someone we know?" Ryohei asked.

"Maybe. Maybe not." Tsuna answered.

"Let me guess. Is it between your two chicks, Haru-chan and Kyoko-chan?" Iemitsu joked.

"Maybe. Maybe not. I won't tell you." Tsuna said.

"Whoa! That's my boy! So who?"

"Still, I won't tell you."

"Why not?"

"It'll be uninteresting if I tell you."

"How mean." All of them said with disappointment.

"Reborn, you already knew who it was right? Tell us!" Iemitsu forcefully begged.

"You'll know it too someday."

"Unfair."

"Don't worry. She's very cute, kind, smart, and totally my love interest. She's great." Tsuna said as he turns red.

Hibari came down from the second floor (Dino's plane has two floors).

"You're all noisy. You're disturbing my sleep." He coldly said.

"Now now, we were just having fun." Yamamoto said.

"You should join us too, Hibari." Ryohei added.

"I really don't want to go with you since I don't want to be mistaken that I am ganging up with you."

"Sorry, Hibari. We'll be a little silent now."Tsuna said calmly. Hibari stared at him and turned back.

"I'll bite you to death if you make a louder noise than that."

Then Hibari went up.

"Sorry guys, I think it was my fault that he had that cold attitude today."Dino apologized.

A few hours later, they had arrived in Italy. They feel a tingling feeling inside their body. In other words, they are very excited. They were excited about Italy, excited about the adventures and stuffs. A car was waiting at them in the airport.

"Welcome to Italy, Vongola Decimo and the guests. We are here to escort you to the headquarters." A kind man wearing normal clothes said. They went inside the car and they traveled all the way to Sicily. They arrived as they were welcomed by almost all of the men inside the mansion. They were shown in a guest room and let them stay there for a while. Vongola Nono arrived in the room and greeted everyone. He walked towards Tsuna and shook hands with him.

"It's been so long since I last saw you. It's good to see you, Decimo." Nono said.

"Yes. It's been so long." Tsuna shook hands with him.

Nono greeted Decimo's guardians. He was also introduced to Irie and Spanner. A man suddenly interrupts and told them that Tsuna and the gang can proceed to their rooms.

"You must be very tired because of the long trip. You can rest first. We'll let you know if it is dinner time already." Nono said.

While Tsuna stays at his room, he grabbed the paper and the pen on top of the table and started writing. He was going to write a letter for someone. After that a knock was heard and he opened it. It was Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Ryohei.

"This place is so big to the extreme!" Ryohei said.

"Haha. Tsuna's family really is rich and wealthy." Yamamoto commented.

"Of course he is." Gokudera said.

"That's not it. I just happen to inherit this in the future. That's all." He said. Everyone smiled at him.

"We are being summoned by Vongola Nono, Juudaime. It's dinner already."Gokudera said.

They went to the dining room all together. The room was huge and has a very large and long table. It can fit until twenty people. They were introduced to Nono's seven guardians and then they were asked to sit. Tsuna gets to sit at the right side of Nono including his guardians and two other friends while Iemitsu sits at the left with Nono's seven guardians. Hibari was not very comfortable sitting. He was obviously irritated. He wanted to go away but he couldn't. I (the author) don't know why ('_ ' ).
