"Cielo, now, I ask you as Tsunayoshi Sawada." A moment of silence spread to the both of us. He continued, "If ever you're to ask to be the Vongola's tenth boss, would you accept it?"
"No." I firmly said.
"Why?"
"I just said I would love to change Vongola and for that reason, I live. Anything other than that is a no-no." I explained.
"What about your family?" He asked. "Both of your families." I raised an eyebrow and for about two seconds, I already realize what he wanted to mean by both, the biological one and the 'family' I created.
"They would forget about me. Once I'm finish, I would cut off any communication I have in the outside world. I started it with the reason of 'changing Vongola' and I will end it with the same reason." I explained and ended the call. "I don't want to kill someone again, especially in that way I did years ago for the very first time I killed and tasted blood, I swear to myself that it would be the last time I do that." I whispered to the air.
Chapter 36: Mafioso Not, Mafioso Yes?
"Should I tell him? No, I shouldn't. But I should. Argh! Nevermind... Hey, Tsurumi! Come down here!" Takuya called out in the kitchen late at night. Tsurumi, in the other hand, is too preoccupied with studies that he didn't heard his brother's voice. Takuya rolled his eyes and went up to the second floor, specifically Tsurumi's room.
He slammed the door wide open and found Tsurumi facing the other side of the door, sitting and doing his homework in his study table. In front was a transparent window and the moon can be seen. "Tsu-ru-mi," a demanded call came out from Takuya.
"There's a word called 'knock', by the way. Thought you just wanna know." Tsurumi suggested in a mature yet a hint of tiredness voice. He, then stretch his arms, put the pen down and walk towards his brother-making them both face each other with their eyes locked on to one another.
"I don't really care." Takuya stated. Tsurumi shrugged his shoulders and sit in his bed.
"What do you want, Takuya?" Tsurumi asked. Takuya turned around and started to walk away from the second floor.
"After that thing with that 'Cielo' meeting, I want to talk about some few things-"Takuya began explaining. Tsurumi followed with a smirk on his face.
"Concerning about?"Tsurumi interupted. Takuya didn't answer until they are already in the kitchen. He turned around facing his twin brother.
"Baka-Tsuna." Takuya answered. Tsurumi's smirked became a grin that put Takuya into shivering. "What's with the grin? You know, I've been really wanting to ask what's happening to you? After 2 days when our 'dear' older brother was thrown away out of house, you became really different. What's up, seriously?"
Tsurumi chuckled. "Miss information and wrong information-two phrases of a 'certain hacker' that every informant doesn't want to handle on with. I am an informant, trained by my books and knowledge. I can change my mood whenever I find a topic, I'm interested into. Seems like you caught my attention, you never talked about Tsuna-nii," explained by Tsurumi.
"Since when did you became an informant? For what I know, you're just copying 'Reborn's aura'." Takuya said as he leans in the edge of the glass table and Tsurumi pulls a chair to sit in it.
"Trying my best to look like a professional, you say," Tsurumi said with a laugh.
"Before I continue, who's this certain hacker you're saying?"-Takuya. Tsurumi smirked.
"Promise in twins' name that you won't tell it to anyone?" Tsurumi asked.
"When did I even broke any of our promises?" Takuya said. Tsurumi gave a shrugg but shook his head, immedieatly. "Arghhh... alright. I promise."
"Cielo."
"Wait-what? Ci-what?" Takuya asked again, unsure if he heard in right. "Is it Cielo? You said differently right?"
"Oh, dear brother, you heard it right! It's perfect!" Tsurumi shouted.
"When... how?"-Takuya
"It started two days after our brother was thrown out, he's the first who contacted me in my cell. Asking about vongola, how do I feel with it and many more-"Tsurumi was interrupted.
"And you answered him honestly?" Takuya asked as a comment.
"Well, I first ask him why does he want to know and he answered, 'I am Cielo, the second greatest. I have known many things and I'm interested to the Vongola of today. Have you ever asked what can I do? If no, then ask for whenever I am interested on something-I will not stop. Don't worry, if by any chance Vongola wants to have an alliance with me, I will think of it.'" Tsurumi said with hand gestures rising up in the air and down.
Takuya laughed. "And you remember EVERYTHING that he said?" He commented, yet again.
"Oh yes, I do. I'm good in memorization after all. Continuing, there it all started. I knew more about information gathering and who he is." Tsurumi said, ending his statement with a smile.
"So who is he?" Takuya asked out of curiosity.
"He didn't told me who he really is but he said he's birth town is in Japan, he can speak many languages, he's a he-"
"Seriously? He's a he?"-Takuya
"What? No one said about his gender and he 's using a voice changer, too. Anyways, he never told me his age, his height and many things." Tsurumi added.
"Why would you even ask for his height and-"Takuya was now interrupted.
"BECAUSE every single, little details are important to get to know someone better." Tsurumi interrupted. "So, going back to the real topic? What about Tsuna-nii?"
"Before that again, if ever he contacts you call me, QUICKLY. Let's not tell dad about this nor Reborn since they might be ahead of us or like... you know what I mean. Have you ever tried searching or knowing what's behind Tsuna's door like why is it always lock?" Takuya started.
"Ummm... n-o? No. Why?" Tsurumi said slowly. "Before we continue, I just remembered where are OUR family?" He continued.
"Mama's in the market, Tsuna's away on a IDK place and papa's in work with Reborn. And as what I am saying, you never had any chance to talk to him with a longer conversation because we know, he's distancing himself away from us and we know, that he's just a normal kid-nothing special. That thought change my mind when I went inside his room after we went to meet that who-knows-who-he-is Cielo person," said Takuya. Takuya then started walking upstairs. "Follow me." He ordered. Tsurumi stayed silent and followed his brother.
Once both of them are already in front of their 'dear' brother's room, Takuya breathed deeply. Tsurumi watch him in silence, he wanted to ask what's he's so scared about or why is he acting up like that though he doesn't want to for he knows that his brother won't tell him, anyway. Takuya's hand is shaking when he slowly reach for the door knob. He, again, breated deeply. He opened the door slowly.
A clean and simple room appeared in front of their eyes. A bed, a cabinet, a table and another door leading to the veranda's the sight. The only disturbing object is... "Is that... is that... Takuya. Is it?" Tsurumi asked unbelievably.
"A gun. Yes. It is a real gun." Takuya answered. They walk in the room to further examine the object placed at the center of the bed. "When I was just playing around with the left stuffs of Tsuna, I saw this briefcase under his bed. It was heavy, very heavy. I was curious. I didn't know. When I opened it, I never thought it was that. Of course, I need to think that's why I didn't tell you that quickly." He explained while phanting as if he had ran a hundred kilometers or so.
"Takuya, calm down. Calm down." Tsurumi said to his brother.
"Tsurumi... what if... what if he's already involve in the mafia before we do? What if he's one of those mafioso from the other group that didn't allied with Vongola? What if he's always lying to us? What if he's-" Takuya was cut off.
"I said calm down, brother. I didn't know you care THAT much about Tsuna-nii." Tsurumi said while chukling.
"Tsurumi! This is no laughing matter! And I never said I cared about him nor hated him! Shut up!" Takuya said that made Tsurumi's chuckle to more of a laugh.
"Anyways," Tsurumi said while recovering from the laugh. He continued, "Let's be quite about this for a while. We shouldn't be idiots spreading this."
"No one would believe us, anyways. Oh... we have an evidence, I just remember." Takuya stated.
"Especially to Reborn-san. He can read us." Tsurumi said slower, now. "But let's take a picture of it first and examine it. I can ask Cielo about this that-"
"I thought we're not gonna talk about this to anyone?"-Takuya
"I said 'we shouldn't be spreading this', not talk to it to anyone." Tsurumi corrected. Then, he started taking pictures in different angles.
"Can we trust him?"-Takuya.
"Yes, definetely. Look at how many he live and no one still figures out who he is." Tsurumi said. "That's gotta be for our secret, too." He blinked in an eye, full of confidence.
"But what if he asked for something in return?"-Takuya.
"Then we'll give it to him. Easy." Tsurumi said with a shrugg, jumping towards the door to exit the room.
"I hate the 'new' you." Takuya said. Tsurumi look back at his brother with a playful smile.
"I never said you need to like the 'new' me." Tsurumi replied and continued his way out of the room. Takuya was taken aback in what he said.
"Wait... when did you even started talking to me like that? I'm the OLDER, you know. THE OLDER." Takuya said whilst following his brother out of the room. He closed it slowly.

Unknown to them that there are eavesdropper in the room, well of course, the ghost. The six stood around the gun.
"What the hell's Tsuna's thinking? Leaving this in here? Should we talk to him?" G asked.
"G, take it easy on him." Asari said.
"He's right. He probably wants to tease his little brothers in a game of hide and seek." Lampo stated.
"But what if-" G was cut off.
"It's alright, G." Alaude said smirking.
"You know what's extremely happening, Alaude?" Knuckle said.
"He does. He's smirking. Spit it, now, Alaude." Giotto said.
Then the briefcase suddenly blew itself up like a self-destruct, the 5 ghosts were in state of shock except for Alaude. Alaude look at the dust and said, "It's for distraction on what will really happen because while Tsuna's doing something, both of them are distracted on this thought forgetting the whole larger picture that will happen or is about to happen-the Varia fight."
"Why not directly to Vongola?" G asked.
"If he'll show it to Vongola, they'll know easily who he is. But for some boys, they'll think away that he is Cielo. There's a mark in his every gun, did you guys, remember? A calligraphy of his name, carved in each gun and weapon that he has. 'Cielo' is written in it and I'm sure those boys will think of him as an assisstant not the real deal." Alaude answered.
"There's still the risk." Giotto commented. "Let's go. The meeting about Varia would start soon in Bianco's shop."
