Arc 3: The Fall Of The Vongola

Chapter 37: Aftermath

It has been quite some time since the day Desparaze made his move on the world. Several months have passed and it is now December ,7th 20XX. After Desparaze revealed himself to the world, it has since then slowly been thrown into chaos. All over the world the Giobbani strikes randomly, from America, to Europe, to Africa, and all the seven continents! Not even the smallest island or country is safe from the Giobbani's all consuming embrace of the world. Mafia Families from all over the world has risen up from their underground world to face the rising power of the Giobbani. However, their efforts have only delayed what seems to be the inevetable. Complete and total world domination by the Giobbani. However, world domination doesn't seem to be their leader's goal at all. Desparaze, the brother of the first Vongola Boss Giotto. He who thrives of the despair of humanity, he who has driven himself to unthinkable amounts of insanity, he who will make the Vongola fall to its knees...

Yet Desparaze has left Japan alone, the safest place int he world it seems. People have tried to force their way into the country, and the already overcrowded Japan now has thousands of refugees trying to escape the darkness that looms over the horizon. The streets are filled with people without food or shelter, forcing them to fight for their lives within the streets. Robberies, murders, rape, and all sorts of crimes are committed all across the country at an all time high. The only town that doesn't have too much of a problem is Namimori, which is under the protection of the Vongola Family. Though in secret, the members of this unknown "Vigilante Group" as they are called by the people have been doing their best to keep the peace. Reports speak of people wielding colored flames and following a powerful leader who has been called, "Despair's Bane." This powerful hero who strikes int he darkness and protects the light! They say this hero is accompanied by a beautiful maiden, powerful guardians, and an even greater force of a growing army soon to defeat the threats the world face! Of course...we know these heroes as simply High School students, who were thrown into mafia world. Now the heroes of our story are truly thrown into a dark world, the true world of the Mafia!

There was a girl running away in a dark alley, she was wearing a poor green refugee clothes and was running away in fear with her purse in hand. She was only a teenager who was forced into the streets by thugs that kicked her family out their own home. She was now running in fear as she was chased by men in suits using Cloud Flame enhanced disks to fly after her. "Please stay away from me! I don't want to die!" The girl shouted as she turned the corner and found herself in a corner of a dark alley. The two men laughed sinister as they slowly approached the girl. She backed up against the wall in fear and shivered as they told her that even though she looked like trash, they still wanted her body. She began to cry as she fell to the ground, her legs giving out in fear. She had no where to run, to hide, or anyway to fight back. It was hopeless, and she felt herself fall into despair. Until...

"Natsu...go..." She heard a voice from above and there was a tall figure wearing a black trench coat with the figure of a small lion on his shoulders. The figure had fiery orange eyes and pierced through the dampening darkness. The lion then jumped off his shoulder and landed in front of the girl and despite its size gave a loud roar that pushed the two offenders back through the alley. The two men were going to retaliate until they saw the figure jump off the roof above and landed in front of the girl. Anyone who was anybody in this dark world knew the description of the person before them, the one who will end the terrors of this world. The Vongola Decimo. They were frightened by his power they felt from him, and decided there was no point in fighting him. They turned around and tried to escape when they both felt the powerful kick of someone wearing high heels that kicked both them in a quick session back down the alley. They looked up to see a just as frightening, or perhaps even scarier than the Vongola Decimo himself! The woman that is said to always be at his side, the Vongola Decimo's beautiful rose that strikes with both love and rage. The Vongola Maiden Decimo, who stood before them at the opening of the alley wearing an orange dress with fiery patterns along it. Her eyes glowed the same bright orange as Decimo's did and strikes fear into the men. The girl couldn't help but remark her beauty as she smiled at the two men.

"Oh don't be like that, women don't like it when guys are too forward with them. You should be gentler with us fragile beauties you know," She said as she ignited her leg completely in Sky Flames and gave the two men a strong look. "Now...you two feel like staying for tea? Or would you rather play with my boyfriend over there? That cute little lion of his does seem a little hungry." She pointed to Natsu who growled loudly while licking his lips. The two men then screamed as they got up and tried to run away but the Maiden got on her hands and delivered a hard spinning kick that sent both men to the walls at their sides. The hit alone knocked them out as they fell to the ground unconscious. All the while the girl they saved stood silently and stared in wonder as the Maiden walked over to her partner. Her partner then turned his head over his shoulder and looked at the girl. He spoke calmly in a very collective manner, and his voice alone brought hope back to the girl. "Are you hurt?" He asked the girl who at first didn't understand him but shook her head. "Good. I don't recommend straying off from the safe areas of the city without very good reason to do so. We have opened up a bath back to the refugee camps, it should be safe now." The man said before he began walking away with his partner and his lion on his shoulder.

Before they could walk away the girl called out to them and the two of them looked back at her. She was panting slightly, and was nervous to the point of breaking once again. She has to say one thing though, "I...don't know who you two are...but you saved me. Thank you...I will never forget your kindness! Thank you so much!" She said with a bow to the two of them. The Decimo looked at his maiden and smiled along with her before she spoke to the girl. "It was nothing at all, just stay safe for us okay? Namimori be the safest place in Japan, but it's not paradise. So you be careful all right?" The girl nodded before the two mysterious people who saved her disappeared. She couldn't help but believe she was saved by heroes, and was grateful she could live to see another day. She then decided she should take their advice and get out of here. That's when the wind blew heavily on the girl and blew the hood of her hair. It revealed her silver wind blown hair, gray eyes, and white skin. She sighed, "Of course the wind would blow on me...I gotta learn to control that power better otherwise I wouldn't need saving. Or at least stay with my blood obsessed friend..." She then headed for the refugee camp close by.

While the two very heroic heroes stood watching over the city, the two powerful defenders, the heroes of light, the...most tired two people you have ever seen in your life. Tsuna yawned as he nearly fell backwards from the lack of sleep, Kyoko was already sitting on the edges of the roof they were on to look out on the city. They went four days without rest, day in and day they have been patrolling the city to keep it safe. Kyoko let out a very loud yawn as she rubbed her eyes weary eyes with her hands. "Man Tsuna...how long have we been up? I'm exhausted..." Kyoko said as she depowered to her normal state for the time being. Her auburn long hair she used to have was cut back to her original hair style, and it was blown by the heavy winds past her shoulders. Kyoko was sixteen years old, and had become Tsuna's Main and boyfriend. She was also his patrol partner, and co-leader of the Vongola. They had been together at nearly all times of the day, it was rare not to see these two together wherever they go.

Tsuna went back to his normal state as well when he saw Kyoko do so. He fell to the ground with Natsu hoping off his shoulder and curling up in Kyoko's lap to get some rest. He felt his body ache from fighting off crooks endlessly for the past few months. He then fell on his back to feel relaxed by the coldness of the roof he lied on as he looked up to the sky with its crescent moon and stars that filled the sky. "We've been up for four days straight Kyoko...today is our last day before we switch with Hayto and Haru...so we can take a break tonight."

Tsuna was now seventeen years old, his birthday passing in October. It wasn't a very pleasant one as it couldn't be celebrated properly, it seems Desparaze had a wicked sense of humor. Whenever a holiday came around or one of the Vongola's birthdays, he would randomly send in hoards of Giobbani grunts to the city just to make sure they would be busy for the whole day. The fact he knew their birthdays was a mystery to them, but Tsuna knew he was doing it for the Hell of it and nothing more. His fists clench from the thought of Desparaze, his terrible face that he could never forget. For Tsuna realized that Desparaze was the black haired man from his nightmares, he is the one...that in his nightmares...kills his friends. Tsuna promised Reborn that he would defeat any foe, but Desparaze was a foe like no other. He wasn't Mukuro who sought the Mafia's destruction, Xanxus who simply wanted to be the boss, Byakuran who wanted to rule all dimensions, or even Bermuda who seeked revenge. No...he wanted more than that, but Tsuna didn't know what. He did know...that when he falls into his dreams, he hears screaming. The screams of his friends, his family, all his loved ones, and an unfamiliar voice rings in his ears. The voice of something close to him, but far away at the same time. Whose voice was it he wondered? That scream that he feels if he looks up at the sky, he feels like he could see the source of the voice but knew not why.

Kyoko then turned over and reached out for Tsuna's hand, grabbing it and holding it tightly within her grasp. Tsuna gripped her hand back and looked back at Kyoko who seemed like she was in deep thought about something. Tsuna could guess what it was, but before he could say anything Kyoko spoke up first. "How many times does that make it? 20? 30? 40? How many people have turned into...people like those guys? How many have fallen so low? All because...of the Giobbani?" Kyoko asked Tsuna who sat up and looked her straight in the eyes. Kyoko closed her eyes and opened them again before continuing as she looked at Tsuna. "How long can we do this Tsuna? We aren't these invincible heroes the people make us out to be, most of us are just teenagers, and young adults. We...I know I asked to be a part of this world. And I don't regret doing this for even a second, but...how long will we have to fight Tsuna? How long will we have to fight people like...Desparaze who wish to bring sadness and destruction to this world? Will we be fighting our whole lives? Will we ever..." Tsuna stopped Kyoko and embraced her tightly with his arms wrapped around to her back and brought their hearts together. Kyoko broke down in tears as she held onto Tsuna with all her strength.

Tsuna didn't say anything at first, but as he didn't want to leave Kyoko in silence. So he told her the same thing like he always has. "Kyoko...I will end this. Everything will be okay. I promised to make our dream...and everyone else's come true. It will all...be fine...I promise..." These words alone helped Kyoko each time to calm down but Tsuna wonder how many times could he tell this to her? How many times will these nice words be enough to quell her pain and sorrow. She was right, they are not they hardened heroes they appear to be. They were still so young with their lives ahead of them, they all had dreams, and things they wanted to do while they can. Now they must fight for their survival in this mafia world, no...it was a dying world. It wasn't just the mafia world, it wasn't any other kind of world either. It was a dying world, with hope slowly fading and despair flowing over from the corners of the Earth to consume it in the darkness...

Tsuna and Kyoko soon retired for the day to their underground base of operations. They could no longer use their hotel base which was burned down in flames by the Giobbani one day in June. The only thing left of their other home was a not from Desparaze to Tsuna and Giotto simply saying, "This is the start of something new brother and nephew! Everything will burn! It will be so freaking great! I wonder how your lovers will scream when they too burn...love- Desparaze The Sexy Beast of Despair." His sick sense of humor angered Tsuna, but Giotto was able to remain calm despite Desparaze's threats and actions. His Family needed to recover from their fight with Desparaze which had lasting effects on them, but in the end once they healed. They helped Tsuna and his friends greatly in protecting the peace and aiding them through these dark times. The families of the Vongola had been taken to a safe place unknown to anyone else but the two generations of the Vongola. Letting them breathe easier at night knowing their families were safe and sound. At least they hoped they were.

Their underground base was similar to the one they had when they went to the future. Laboratory reminiscent walls, with some home like elements to it. It was located in a remote part of town deep within forests near abandoned shrines. There weren't enough rooms for everybody in Tsuna's family, the guys were on one side with the girls on the other. Or at least it should've been that way but for Tsuna and Gokudera's girlfriend, occasionally they came into their rooms to spend time with them. They went through the hidden door outside and took an elevator down to the lower depths of the base. All of this was constructed by Spanner and Shoichi. Once they reached the bottom the door opened and they found themselves in a living room/kitchen with both parts on the left and right sides. They were greeted by Yamamoto and his sister, their Moon Guardian Celina in their pajamas.

"Yo Tsuna! Kyoko!" Yamamoto asked them with an upbeat smile. Tsuna was thankful that even in times like this Yamamoto could still smile and lift their spirits. Yamamoto was eighteen now but he didn't change one bit, except for a little bit when his sister mysteriously appeared in his life. Seeing Celina now is still strange to Tsuna, not even once did Yamamoto mention he had a sister before. He never spoke of anything close to her, and Celina was a strange one for sure. Everything about her was mysterious from her Moon Flame which is linked to the moon itself. It changes her whole appearance in accordance to the moon, with it being a crescent moon tonight. Only the bottom of her hair was a pure white while the rest was dark as night. Her right eye had a slight tint of white on the right edge of her right eye. Celina was the same age as Chrome, sixteen years of age. Making her the younger sibling to Yamamoto, and for the most part she fit in well with the Vongola.

"Ah, hello Tsuna-Decimo and Kyoko-Decimo. It is pleasant to see you two have returned to us safely," Celina said with a blank expression that Tsuna didn't read any emotions from. She normally spoke without a sense of emotions, and wasn't a girl of many words. She didn't really keep to herself either, and actually stayed close to the group. Either because she wanted to get closer to them, or she knew she was going to be watched regardless by one of them. Especially Hibari who months later still cannot trust her despite everything that points to her being an okay person. Yet no one will tell him to stop his distrust, because they don't know what lies behind Celina's emotionless looks. Not even her own brother Yamamoto who admitted that Celina is mysterious. He says that Celina isn't even her real name, but oddly enough not he, his father, or herself as she claims can not remember her real name. Her name in their memories, all say Celina. As if her real name, the word itself had been erased from existence. But they still know that her real name is something else.

He told her he would try his best to remember her real name and all she said was, "Okay." Then that was the end of the conversation, Yamamoto at times became dishearted Tsuna could tell despite his smile he always kept on. He would go to be by himself in the shared room he had with the guys and do who knows what. Which made Tsuna realize that he didn't know as much about Yamamoto as he once thought he did. He was almost as much a mystery as his sister was in some aspects. Tsuna looked around to see the base was quiet. Kyoko then kissed on the cheek and told Tsuna that she was going to take a shower before heading to bed. She wanted to spend some time with him before she goes to sleep. Tsuna told her that was fine before she went down the hall to the girl's bathroom. Tsuna redirected his attention from her to Yamoto and Celina. He set his specialy made trench coat on a rack near the elevator door before he went over and took up a seat in between them and turned on the small television that sat on a stand across from their small kitchen table.

"What you turned on the news for Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked him. Tsuna shrugged and thought he check up on the news and see what's going on in the world. Yamamoto gave Tsuna and sterner look and Tsuna knew what he was going to say before he said it. "Tsuna...you're going to work yourself over if you only watch the news like this. It's not good to get yourself down like this for seeing how the world is," Yamamoto said before he turned the television to a cartoon show about cats. Surprising Tsuna that they still aired cartoons in times like this. Celina's eyes darted to the television quickly and her eyes fixated on the cats. "C-cute..." She mumbled before Yamamoto asked her what she said. She quickly said it was nothing and tried to not stare at the cats on the television.

Tsuna then said to Yamamoto, "I can't help it Yamamoto, it bothers me to not be able to know what's going on in the world. To not be able to fully understand other's suffering, even if it makes me suffer too. I feel I deserve it...I have to suffer along with them...if I don't. Then how can I keep moving forward?" Tsuna said before a familiar voice spoke up behind them. Tsuna turned to see Lambo standing behind him with a grin on his face. Lambo was now an eighteen year old who was still frozen in time so to speak. He was from the future that was sent to their time, and an error occurred with his watch that kept him here in this time period. It basically aged the younger Lambo to his older self permanently if you look at it from a different way. He wore his brown leather jacket with the cur around his neck, dark brown pants with a double light brown belt around his waist, and wore black finger less gloves. He looked more like he would twenty years from his five year old self. Though he still wasn't quite as serious as his older self, but still more mature than before.

"Yo Tsuna, is that anyway to go about? You're going to ruin the mood with talk like that. You should be more optimistic in times like this," Lambo said as he walked over and put his arm around Tsuna's neck. Tsuna looked up to see him with one eye closed and a grin on his face. Tsuna didn't know what to say to Lambo's words but Lambo simply kept his cheery attitude as he looked at Yamamoto and Celina, greeting them in the process. Lambo took his arm off Lambo and circled around Celina's end of the table to pull up a chair near the television. "So I see things are surely quiet around here. Haru and Hayto are out on patrol then?" Lambo asked them.

"Correct. They left not too long before Tsuna and Kyoko returned to change shifts. The Storm Guardian and the Co-Maiden have taken over for the next four days Lightning Guardian Lambo," Celina answered him. Lambo then gave Celina an uneasy look. "Oi, why do you still refer to everyone by their position. Just call us by our names Celina," Lambo said with a wink. Celina was completely unphased by this but thought about what he said. "Ah, so you would prefer it if I didn't add your status to your name. Then how about Coward? Stupid Cow? Pervert? Enemy to all women? Or even the mighty-"

"Oi! I get it, I'll stick with Lightning Guardian if you're going to be like that," Lambo said which got a slight laugh from Yamamoto and Tsuna but confused Celina.

"Acting like what Lambo?" Celina asked as she tilted her head. Lambo just stared at her, "You're messing with me aren't you?" Lambo said before Celina simply shrugged her shoulders. Lambo then looked to Yamamoto who also looked sorta down today. He sighed as grabbed the television remote and changed the channel to the news. There were news report about the increasing amount of crime, and the devastation it has left Namimori in. Namimori has been divided into three parts now because of it, there's Rogue Port, The Refugee Camps, and Sanctuary. Rogue Port to the South is where all the low lives, thieves, and anyone else who has fallen to new lows live. It's a dark and shady place that no sane person would go to without good reasons. The Refugee Camps are located in the North next to Sanctuary, and that's where all sorts of immigrants from all over lived. It wasn't a very pretty place, and didn't have much. Though Sanctuary is the most ideal place to live for sure.

That is the place that most closely resemble the Namimori they knew long ago, with schools, shops, and essentially still has a normal life. The government has these "Sanctuaries" placed up all around Japan in all the cities. They are meant to protect the citizens, and keep offenders out. They are heavily fortified with huge walls, and armed men ready to shoot down anyone who doesn't have the right identification to get in. Though they call it Sanctuary, it is mostly for the rich and upper class. It's just a prison to keep them inside, and evil out. For as long as it can it seems. The Vongola base was beyond Sanctuary in rural areas behind it. Though Sanctuary is still a strange place, for despite its name the people there seem to believe the world is coming to its end. And despite even that, the people there live like it's the end of the world. They part everyday, and hardly care what will happen to them. It is a really strange town they live in now Lambo said.

"How could this town have been divided so quickly I wonder," Celina said as she observed the television camera pan to scenery of three divisions. "Simple, because there all kinds of people in this world. Every single one of them are different from one another, but in times of crisis they search those with similar mindsets," Lambo said as he pointed to his his head. "When people look to those who believe the same things they do, they form groups and these groups combine with other groups. That's when you get a community, and these communities house all kinds of different people with similar beliefs. Hence Rogue Port, and Sanctuary being two very different places. You can get mugged and shot in Rouge Port, but you can actually ask to be mugged and shot in Sanctuary if you asked the right person."

"Then it seems like the two places bare similarities to one another. Yet they are so very different, and because they lie separated from one another. We find the people of Rogue Port trying their hardest to break into Sanctuary and cause havoc. Loathing them for lives of peace, and living the good life. Then Sanctuary retaliated by hiring people to take care of people in Rouge Port," Celina said with her hand under her chin. Then Tsuna said, "Which leaves the Refugees in the middle of their pointless fight. The people are now fighting one another, and bringing innocent people into it for no reason at all. All because they all could not come to an understanding for one another," Tsuna said with a sigh.

"Understanding...it seems like such a simple thing yet the people in our town can no longer see that," Yamamoto said with as he rubbed the back of his head. Lambo then said, "Thus the aftermath of the Giobbani's attacks are complete chaos. In the future I come from, the world has already been lost. Though not just because of the Giobbani, they only did half the work. The rest of it was left to the world to decide, they destroyed themselves as much as the Giobbani did. Wars among themselves, pointless violence...it's crazy to think this is what people will do when they fall into despair." It was silent for a moment between the four of them before Lambo sat up and pushed out his chair. "Well that's why we have to try to smile more! We can't lose our hope and smiles even if the rest of the world does. The moment we give up, then the rest of the world really will fall into one Hell of a hole. So keep your head up Tsuna, so you can see the faces of not just those who are suffering but those that are smiling. Okay?" Lambo said with a wink. Tsuna knew Lambo spoke the truth and he nodded to him. Making sure to keep his words in mind before he saw Lambo head for the elevator door.

"Where are you going Lambo?" Yamamoto asked Lambo who turned to him and gave him a pose with his legs spread out and his arm facing the ceiling. "Hmph! I'm going to save the world...to be a hero! To-"

"I believe he was on the phone not too long ago. I believe he is going on a date of sorts?" Celina said which silence Lambo and made Yamamoto and Tsuna exchange glances before staring at Lambo. Lambo began falling into a cold sweat of nervousness as he stood there silently.

"Lambo is going on a date?" Tsuna exclaimed in shock. He hasn't went out with Kyoko anywhere in a long time. Now he's beginning to feel terrible, and wondered how their relationship has lasted this long like this. Lambo's eyes darted to Celina who looked back at Lambo blankly. "You...you're truly out to get me for something aren't you?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about. But if you are going on a date, is it safe for me to assume it is an actual human being and not your imagination?" Celina asked Lambo which got him angry.

"Hey! She is a real person!" Lambo shouted at her.

"Oh? And it's a female? I never would have guessed..." Celina mumbled as she coughed awkwardly afterwards. Lambo then pointed to her with his hand and yelled, "Hey! What kind of a person do you think I am? I am Lambo the coolest! The greatest! And you dare to belittle me? Even I have needs!" Lambo exclaimed.

"Ew...you really are a pervert..." Celina said to Lambo who was tempted to leap at her with rage. However, Tsuna changed the topic and asked Lambo who he was going out with and where. Lambo stopped and got embarrassed as he thought about how to answer this. "Ah...well..I'm headed to Sanctuary actually. It isn't really a date either...just some scouting I guess you could say. I needed to go pickup some food for the base anyway, we're running low again. So I figured I would go out..." Lambo said as he rubbed his hair. Tsuna was surprised to see Lambo who usually acted so cool, act so...uncool about all of this. "And who is the lucky girl?" Yamamoto asked.

"Unlucky," Celina chimed in before Yamamoto glared at her. Lambo ignored Celina for once and said, "Oh...it's I-Pin...I'm meeting up with her." Lambo said said sheepishly. Tsuna hadn't seen I-Pin in a very long time! He had heard I-Pin and Fuuta was with Bianchi somewhere in Sanctuary. They often would give them information on anything suspicious going down in Sanctuary and would inform them of what's going on there. Though Tsuna hasn't seen them personally in a very long time along with the others. Though thinking about it, Lambo is eighteen now and I-Pin would be eight then. "Why is Lambo getting embarrassed about meeting I-Pin?" Tsuna asked Lambo who waved his hands around frantically.

"Who said I was embarrassed to see I-Pin? That charming Tail Head that hung around my younger self?" Lambo said with his arms folded. The three of them at the table looked at one another before looking at Lambo. "I see...well...it's good to go out and do things but be extremely careful Lambo. We still have to be on our guard no matter what, call if anything happens," Tsuna said to remind him. Lambo waved goodbye and entered the elevator going up. Yamamoto then got up and said he would be going to bed now. He said goodnight to Tsuna and his sister before leaving Tsuna and Celina alone. Tsuna got up from his seat thinking he should head to be soon as well but he saw Celina sitting quietly as she watched TV.

"You going to go to sleep soon Celina?" Tsuna asked her. She turned her head to him and stared at Tsuna for a moment. As if she was thinking about something relating to him but decided against saying anything about it. "Ah yes...Tsuna-Decimo..I will. I was going to stay up a bit longer, and you?" She asked Tsuna who said he was going to head to bed soon or at least he told himself that though he was sore and weary. He should be ready to pass out, but didn't feel much encouragement to go to sleep right away. That's when they heard a door opening behind them and they turned with shock to see Kyoko walking own the hallway half a sleep wearing nothing but a towel!

"Ahhh! K-K-Kyoko?!" Tsuna exclaimed as he saw Kyoko's eyes were nearly closed as she walked towards Tsuna with a tumbling walk. The white towel around her body just barely stayed on her body thanks to her chest which Tsuna's eyes darted to. He then looked to Celina whose eyes were big and shocked to see Kyoko. "Why...is she standing in front of us naked with a towel on? Ah! Is this the legendary threesome I have read about in romance novels? Well Tsuna-Decimo, if you will have me and Kyoko at once then very well..."

"You're jumping to a crazy conclusion about this situation!" Tsuna exclaimed as Kyoko fell in his arms. She was so tired, Tsuna bet she didn't even know what she was doing here. She looked up with weary eyes towards Tsuna then put on a big smile and rested her head on his chest and pressed her body against him. "Mmm...my Tsuna Bear...I love you so much...nom!" Kyoko then began nibbling on Tsuna's shirt and saying nom as she did it. Tsuna couldn't help but think how cute Kyoko is when she's tried, but deeply worried for her! If she get's like this when she's tired, he couldn't imagine her drunk! Celina's eyes were fixated on Kyoko's bottom Tsuna noticed. "H-hey! Celina I told you! No weird conclusions!"

"She does have a nice little tushy. I could go both ways if you demand that of me Tsuna-Decimo." Celina said with a thumbs up and a gleam in her eyes.

"STOP IT! Gosh Celina, why is it you only act like this with me and Kyoko," Tsuna sighed as he noticed Kyoko mumbling to him afterwards. "Mmm...Tsuna...let's go to bed already...I'm getting impatient..." Tsuna then told her that they will go to bed in a moment. He really wondered how she managed to take a shower if she was this tired. Celina then looked down at the table lowly. "I wonder why that is too Tsuna-Decimo...perhaps I am being affected by your Sky...since I wam so used to the other Sky..." Celina said before she got up and began walking towards the hallway. Tsuna wondered what she meant by Sky, but guessed she meant being with the Vongola instead of the Giobbani. Celina then looked back and waved goodbye with a slight sense of emotions in her face.

"Goodnight Decimos. I will see you tomorrow," Celina said. Tsuna then let one of his arms off Kyoko to wave goodnight to Celina. Kyoko noticed this and pulled away from Tsuna to wave her hand at Celina lazily. This however made her towel fall down off her body to the floor. It was silent for a moment as Tsuna slowly felt the blood rising to his head and face as his eyes quickly scanned Kyoko's body and his mind put that image permanently in his mind. Kyoko looked down at herself then looked to Celina with a sleepy look.

"Oh...let's go to bed now Tsuna!" Kyoko proclaimed with her hand in the air.

"LIKE THIS?!" Tsuan exclaimed

"I approve," Celina said simply.

"STOP APPROVING!" Tsuna told her.

"Celina, come sleep over in me and Tsuna's bed! No clothes allowed! Hehe!" Kyoko proclaimed as she

"NO! CLOTHES ARE A MUST! AND NO CELINA CAN'T COME!"

"Joykill...Tsuna is hotter if he has a harem..." Kyoko said with a lopsided smile.

"I approve once again," Celina said with her arms folded.

"WHAT DID I SAY?" Tsuna then put the towel back on Kyoko and asked Celian to please dress Kyoko without doing anything weird to her. Celina looked at Kyoko in her arms who had passed out once again. "Fine, I was merely joking anyway. I am in my own betrothed to another..." She said before taking Kyoko in to her room. Tsuna wondered who she meant, but that was her personal life. Tsuna saw them go into the girl's shared room and let out a sigh. Even in the darkest times, things like that can still happen. Lambo was right Tsuna thought as he hoped Lambo was okay.

Lambo had ran up to meet I-Pin at the requested location outside of Sanctuary's walls. Lambo was panting from running, and he heard a girlish giggle from his side. That's when he turned to see the grown up I-PIn standing there wearing her full white Ramen outfit. I-Pin had black hair with two thin braids that went down to below her chest. She had black eyes that complimented her hair with a slim figure of an eighteen year old girl. "It's really not cool of you to be exhausted from running here Broccoli monster," I-Pin teased Lambo who gave her a sarcastic smile. "Well I'm not a trained martial artist like you Tail Head, cool people don't need to run everywhere." Lambo responded before I-Pin shrugged his comment off. She looked to the big gates of Sanctuary and then turned to smile at Lambo. "Well Lambo...let's go. It has been a long time..." I-Pin said as she rubbed the watch that was on her wrist, a very similar one to Lambo's that kept him here.

"Yeah...we got a lot of things to do for the Family, and I am interested in Sanctuary. The place known as the Paradise..."
