Lavina

After Tsuna-sama excused herself, I've decided to go straight to the library. Tsuna-sama said that there are books I've probably never read before there. And Tsuna-sama (Bless hi- er...her pure, kind, and amazing soul) is right, there are books I've never read before! And there are a lot of them. Along with the ones lost in time!

I snatched the first book related to UMA's without a second thought. Upon opening it, all theories and deduction, or even pure speculation about the nature of UMAs hits me. And to think all of this was lost on time...!

I'm so absorbed and utterly amazed in reading the contents of the book that I almost didn't notice the very familiar rain flames behind me.

Keyword: almost.

I turned around to meet bright hazel brown eyes. The Japanese lady broke into a happy and friendly familiar grin.

"Hayato!"

"...Takeshi?!"

(One Yamamoto Takeshi was happy that one time when he caught Hayato off-guard and made said person call him by his given name.

It's safe to say he tried to make the storm to say it again. He somehow succeeded – sometimes.)

Renata

I've decided to do something I had always escaped from. The bane of my very existence, and sadly, the only thing that could keep me occupied in a long extended period of time.

Paperwork.

Just thinking about those blasted piece of paper sent directly from hell makes me grimace. Although Giotto's the one doing it now, which I'm eternally grateful for but can't help but feel pity about toward my fellow sky. So I'll just help him by arranging it. In my last life, the paperwork was an extra pain when it's not arranged on a particular order. Meaning Important paperwork, Repair bills, Reports, and lastly...marriage proposals. And the fact that I'm married at the time didn't stop it at all! Well. Until Kyoko actually snapped... but still!

Anyway, I've decided to help Gio by making paperwork a little bit easier.

That's what I had in mind when I barged into his office and effectively startling him. "R-rena!" Giotto exclaimed in surprise, pink suddenly entering his cheeks again.

I think I'm sensing a pattern in this, and I think I have a vague idea as to why Giotto keeps on turning red as a tomato. But I came here to help him on paperwork and keep myself occupied, not to investigate if my deduction is true on the 'Tomato Gio' case.

I smiled at the now confused blonde haired mafia boss (and boy does it feel good to know she isn't directly dealing with the stack of paperwork on that blasted desk).

"I came to help you with that paperwork of yours!" this statement earned a splutter from Giotto before opening his mouth to, obviously, protest. But I beat him to it by getting some stack of paperwork while looking at him sternly. "And I won't take no for an answer. We can't have you getting sleep deprived now don't we?" I said. Remembering the days that Reborn would drag me off my office when I stayed cooped up in there for days.

I guess now that someone I care about is doing it (Ignoring the voice that sounded like Reborn saying "Hmp. Now you see what I have to deal with huh Dame-Tsuna?") I can kinda see why Reborn does that now.

Would have been better if he helped arranging my paperwork though, but noooo, I have to do it all by myself since I'm the boss. Although Basil (bless that guy's soul) does it for me from time to time when he isn't busy.

Okay. I'm getting off track. I should go back to arranging this. I don't want to put something in the wrong stack after all. And as I put each paper in a neat stack based on whatever it was about (it's mostly damaged properties, poor Gio) a certain paper made me stop. It was a marriage proposal from a famiglia, which based on my research and Kyoya's sources thanks to Foundation, is from a mid-ranking Famiglia. I put it on its rightful stack, ignoring the faint pang I'm feeling.

After the pile got too tall, I would put down the neat stack of paperwork beside Giotto's desk. Giotto was still reading each and every paper before signing it. Looking really focused on his task with a scrunched nose as he seems to painfully read a rather detailed damage whomever his guardians caused.

This continued on, with scribbling and cripple of paper as the only things to fill the silence.

That was until Giotto finally decided to speak anyway.

"Hey Rena..." Giotto started, obviously hesitant to continue further. Reborn would have already held him at gunpoint for showing that obvious weakness. Nevertheless, I turned around to face him while still holding some paperwork.

"What is it Giotto?" I asked as I put down the repair bill with the other ones. It was about Asari accidentally destroying a fountain. Seriously, you would think that the most cheerful and sanest person your friends would make less damage. But nooooo, they ended up destroying property anyway. Seriously, Takeshi isn't even that normal.

"Thank you" he finally said, smiling. His cheeks tinted pink and eyes closed. I trailed the lines of his cheekbones with my eyes, amazed how nicely angles they were. I couldn't even help but smile back at him too.

'He looks adorably handsome at the moment.' I couldn't help but think as I replied "Your welcome Gio". I seems to have startled him as he stare at me with wide eyes, making me fidget a bit. "Is it okay to call you that?" I asked, peering on top of the paperwork that I've decided to use to hide my blushing face. I didn't really intend to call him Gio out loud!

"Its fine" Giotto said, sporting his own blush that's spreading across his face. I slowly putted down the last paper and putting it at a stack.

"Well I'm done" I said as I walk toward the door before stopping as I opened it. I turned my head at Giotto's direction and smiled "I'll help you again tomorrow by the way!" I said before fully walking out and shutting the door on my wake.

Giotto

I could only smile, fully aware that my face is probably red, as Rena exits my office. This is probably the most peaceful and a little enjoyable time I had while doing paperwork. i continue to started signing again as I let my mind linger at Rena's smiling face. I was never fully aware of the grin on my face.

(If anyone saw him, they would say he looks like a love-struck idiot. Especially if it happens to be G)

And as I'm finishing the last curve on the signature, a thought suddenly popped into my mind. One seemingly random thought that made my intuition hum in contentment.

'I really like Rena huh.'

"..." I suddenly froze, my hand finishing up my signature suddenly coming into a halt, before I raised it as it hovers close to the surface of the paper. I only sat still with my eyes going extremely wide and my face getting hot.

'D-d-did I j-j-just...' my hands clenched tightly and I hear something snap.

'DID I JUST THOUGHT OF THAT?!'

In a distance, Cozart heard a faint thud as he walk toward his best friend's office. He could only look around in confusion, wondering where exactly it came from.

Meanwhile

Knuckles arrived at the Cathedral where Maria is usually at. And as expected, as soon as he opened the door, he was greeted with the sight of Maria giving a sickly looking person a sick a brown sack that needs immediate medical attention or simply because she wants to help. The sack probably contains the yellow pills that Maria makes. Pills he knew was made out of Sun Flames.

You could say it was one of the reasons he was fascinated with Maria. She could make 'Sun Pills', as she would call it, using her flames and gave it to those who needed it without asking for anything in return. And those pills could heal almost any disease or injury of whoever swallows it.

(Maria gave Knuckles some to take home once, and Asari happens to be injured at that time.

It's safe to say that the first Generation was fascinated of the effects of the pills which lead to questioning Knuckles. That also leads to the mention of Maria and of course them noticing Knuckles's reaction on the mention of the name they, more specifically Daemon, would always mention her. Mostly to shut Knuckles up *cough*G*cough*Alaude*cough*)

Maria is also known as 'Golden Healer'. Which Maria would laugh at, loudly if they're not inside a Church or Cathedral, whenever Knuckles mentioned it.

When the patient finally exited did Maria noticed Knuckles. Her grey eyes shined as he smiled at him. A blinding bright smile that Knuckles is sure can rival the sun. "Knuckles!" she said in an even tone. Considering that they're inside a Cathedral, Knuckles understands as to why Maria isn't using her usual voice volume. And as Maria walk toward him, her short ginger hair swaying a bit, Knuckles couldn't help but offer a grin of his own.

He really likes Maria's company after all.

Omake:When Kyoko snapped

It was another day on the Vongola mansion. The birds were chirping, the sun shining brightly, and an enraged looking Kyoko looking at another marriage proposal for her Tsu-kun.

Yeah... the peace didn't last long.

Kyoko is enraged. Not only did these Mafia bitches won't stop sending marriage proposals to her husband, they just can't take a hint that he isn't even interested with all the proposals he rejected. And don't even think of mentioning the pathetic and obvious hints in the vile paper about how they want Tsu-kun and his money!

It really pisses her off.

The youngest guardian, Lambo, quickly went away from Kyoko as soon as he senses her foul mood. Nope. No way was he approaching her when she's like that.

Kyoko immediately sought out the person that she knows would likely help her all for the sake of chaos.

Said help happens to be her boyfriend's devil tutor, Reborn.

The next day, the mafia whispered about the chaos many Famiglias are experiencing. They won't stop gossiping about the mess that left them in disarray which naturally reaches Tsuna's ears.

"I wonder who did that" He absently said out loud. Missing the gleeful smirk Reborn was sporting and the too bright smile of his wife.

(When Tsuna wasn't looking, Reborn patted Kyoko's back. "Well done dear daughter-in-law. Well done" he said with the gleeful smirk still in his handsome face.

Kyoko's smile turned into a smirk, "No problem father-in-law. Besides, they were trying to take what was mine." she practically purred.

Reborn was happy to know that Tsuna made a fine choice in choosing a woman he would date. And Marry.

A fine choice indeed)

Tsuna never got a single marriage proposal after that. The reason?

Let's just say Kyoko left an.. enlightening message in each Famiglia who even dared send one. But not without leaving chaos at her wake of course.)

And another chapter~!

I made G27 since it seems that some really want it :3

I planned on making it anyway XD

You'll know what happens with Lampo on the other chapter so no worries. And I'm guessing I just solidified the fact on who Maria is. I don't even know if you guys would be surprised on who Mukuro would be. I think I made it obvious on the cover of this story actually.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading~

KHR isn't mine!
