Target 24

I flipped the table in my living space over. I screamed in frustration at the top of my lungs. If Dino hadn't shown up when he did everyone would be shark food. I ran a hand threw my hair. This was going to be a pain in my butt.

"GAH!" I ruffled my hair in frustration once more fallowed by me smacking my head on the wall. I cursed a little as I pulled out a bag of peas from the little freezer and rested it on my forehead. I would never do that again. I flopped down on my couch in thought. My brows knit together, why was Squalo there. Why is he, or was, in Japan? I discarded the bag of peas and bolted for my bed room. I opened up my laptop and got typing.

I was tired as shit, but I managed to keep my illusion disguise in the works as I walked into the hospital. I also managed to get past the nurses and doctors I needed to in order to get to Basil's room. Whom also happens to work for Tsuna's father. Whom I would like to hit with a tun of bricks by the way. I walked into the, very much so white, room that Basil was being cared for in. I yawned carelessly into my hand. I opened my eyes to see Tsuna, Dino and Romario staring at me as if I was a complete stranger. How ever Tsuna looked more confused. Most likely his intuition telling him who I am. I let the Illusion slip of a split second. The look of complete awe on Dino's face was priceless no matter how short lived it was because he had to keep that cool guy look around his men. However Tsuna didn't seam all that surprised. Romario on the other hand looked like he was on guard. Reborn just looked like he was expecting me.

"I hope I didn't interrupt anything?" I asked.

"Hmmm, nope." said Reborn

"Who... Is he apart of the Vongola?" Tsuna asked just about everyone in the room. I smiled

"No, he's not part of the Vongola, but I can tell you for sure that he is on your side". Dino spoke up, but at this Tsuna started to freak out.

"What is going on!" He started to look even more panicked "Vongola is the enemy and the ones not on my side?!" Fallowed by the look of 'I really didn't mean that the way it came out'. "I mean I don't need enemies or allies."

"Tsuna you can't say that." I spoke up

"Not any more, the Vongola rings have started to move." Dino finished my thought process. Tsuna looked even more confused now.

"Rings? This boy said something about that. The guy with the long hair stole them?" Surprisingly enough Tuna-fish is still on track.

"Yes, the proper name of those is The Half of the Vongola Rings." Reborn explained the details to the young boss, while I freaked out because my cell phone started to buzz in my pocket. I ignored it to the best of my will, but once it stopped it started to buzz again. Who ever was on the other end of the line really wanted my attention. At there third attempt I pulled it out of my pocket and just about had a heart attack. Bel was attempting to call me. I answered it and left the room discreetly as I could.

"What the hell do you want that you need to call me repeatedly?!" I raised my voice a little while I spoke in Italian.

"Ushishishi, the Prince can call his Baron when ever he wants to." I should have expected that response. "The Prince wants the Baron to fight for him." I should have expected that as well. I picked up my pace out of the hospital. I pulled my phone from my ear and turned on a little program that turned off any thing tapping into the phone line.

"Look, If this is about the battle for the rings, yes I know about what is going on to an extent, I am not taking sides in this... You'll find out soon enough as to why." I hung up my phone before Bel could respond.

A large number of my things had been packed. This event, the people involved in said event. I couldn't get involved my self. I would go into hiding for a few days, they had three before the Varia found out that the half they stole where fakes. Information I didn't sell and had on complete lock-down. No one could access it but me, the same went for a whack load of information on the Varia it's self. Like how currently they had the Ninth locked into the giant robot thing making it run. That information wasn't going any where ether. The Shadow Broker is official not helping ether party in this fight. A official statement I let all my little people know. Yes I had little people, they earned me my money after all.

I wanted to hit my computer screen. I had cameras set up all over Namimori and Reborn, Tsuna and Basil couldn't be found anywhere. However I did get to see the training everyone else went threw. It was hard training, I know the level of skill of the Varia and there is no way they have a chance... Unless the pride of the Varia gets in the way and they underestimate their opponents, whom happen to be teenage kids. I pulled out the information about the rings again from my network. I just about had a panic attack at who would end up facing each other. Gokudera wouldn't walk a way with his life, nether would Bel now that I thought about it.

I made a ruff draft about who would go to whom for training on Tsuna's side. Reborn would bring someone in to train the sun guardian, Yamamoto would go to his father a skilled swordsman, Gokudera would go to his old trainer, Lambo would be dead.


A.N. T^T I am sooooo sorry for not uploading sooner. I am just not feeling the writing vibe (in other words I have writers block and I refuse to put a story on hold). I hope you guys like this short chapter. I hope to have the next chapter gives me more creative juices.
