The next week was busy, very busy, for the Varia mansion. Arcobaleno all over the place, Massimo running around and Xanxus really testing his last nerve not to punch his brother and his perky attitude.
What he hated most of all however, was when Massimo was quiet, it meant he had taken one of the brats somewhere and quite often it was Tsuna. Massimo took delight in taking Tsuna off without telling Xanxus, and then watching his little brother tear apart the mansion to find them, Massimo teaching Tsuna how to disperse her Flames so that someone couldn't find her by tracking her Flames, something that Xanxus would have taught her eventually, but it was infuriating for him to not be able to track Tsuna in the mansion, Massimo made it a game and Tsuna was always happy to play with anyone in her little family, unfortunately that included Massimo right now.
Today's match of Hide and Seek Tsuna, their version of Hide and Seek,involved all her brats, it was a giant free for all on tracking Tsuna down in the mansion, and instead of hiding, she was allowed to move. Tsuna had to both diffuse her Flames to stop them finding her while tracking them and moving around them.
It was an ingenious training method and Tsuna loved to play games with them all so it was good fun all around, except Massimo had done this to piss him off and Xanxus knew it.
"Her Flame manipulation is more refined than I've seen in a very long time." Reborn mused as he and Fon watched and tracked the kids running around the building.
"Stronger than any of the current Vongola, they won't be able to ignore that for long." Reborn sighed at that, it was true, Tsuna's grasp on her Flame was progressing in leaps and bounds, she was already catching up to Federico, and he was the weakest of the Nono's children...and Tsuna was still just seven. "I'm not sure what Xanxus intended in the beginning, but the Mafia world won't stay oblivious to her forever, not with Flames like that."
"At least she has Guardians." Reborn sighed "Those Vongola boys need to start collecting some as well, Massimo especially if he's intending to take over from Nono."
"Massimo….wasn't he going to go into CEDEF before Enrico died?" Reborn watched as said child of Nono dragged Tsuna across the grass and into the gardens to hide.
"Originally he was going to learn Iemitsu's job then replace him. With Enrico passing…"
"Mmm, the Vongola is in a tight spot, what they need is someone strong, the alliance will accept nothing less then someone as powerful as Nono." reborn mused before sighing "Massimo doesn't have the Flames for it, Federico as well, Enrico was their best bet….I'm not sure what the old man will do now. Xanxus is powerful, but the Varia won't let him go." Reborn watched as Tsuna snuck back into the mansion, so far Ken was the best at finding her because he could sniff her out, his ability to sense Flames wasn't that good anyway, and as the other children were finding out their Flames wouldn't always lead them to Tsuna, they needed to find other ways of tracking her.
"That Mist boy, he's smart." Fon noted watching as illusion birds flew out in search of Tsuna "And a Mist that can physically fight too, Viper must be furious."
"Mammon, she get's all precious about it."
"I've been asked by Nono to see what I can do with the young Storm boy, the Vongola does pay well. No wonder you like working for them." Fon replied his eyes on the silver haired child desperately searching for his 'Tsu-hime' "They've given up on Belphegor ever coming around on that topic."
"Unfortunately I'm not sure how much longer I can stay, I'm still tutoring Dino, the brat can't stay in Japan for much longer." Reborn sighed tipping his fedora over his eyes "I dare say that I might miss this place."
"This place? Or her?" Fon chuckled at the glare that was sent his way.
"Merely the amusement of watching them fall all over themselves for her." Fon couldn't help but continue to chuckle at that, Reborn was putting up a mighty effort against Tsuna's Flames, but even Reborn had to admit, as the girl refined her Flames more and more it would become harder to resist them. And her Flames were only getting stronger.
"I'll send you updates~" Reborn tossed a frown over at him again.
"No need." Fon rolled his eyes as Reborn disappeared back into the mansion to organise his flights back to Italy, Reborn did always try play that he didn't care about anyone, for in their line of work anyone you cared about was a weakness, a weakness that had a target on their back from the entire underworld as leverage. They couldn't care, it wasn't that they had no feelings, they had just lost too much.
Looking back at the small Sky child running around the mansion with her collection of Paladins he had to smile, at least they were all strong, if they could get them strong enough then Tsuna would be protected enough that it wouldn't matter how strong her Flame got. They had to train them all as hard as possible for that one goal.
Train them to protect a Sky they could never lose.
"I'll send them anyway~" Fon bounced down to call off the game and take the young Storm for an assessment, he needed to know how much Lussuria had managed to teach the boy, from what he had seen the child had shown some physical skill, but his Flames were sorely lacking. Lussuria didn't have much he could do about that, basic Flame exercises was really it, Fon had to take that and expand on it now. It wouldn't do if a Sky's right hand wasn't strong.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
The new school year had just started, Kyoya was prowling the school to check that everything was in place, he had enough things to do during the rest of year, including chasing down crowding idiots and making sure they didn't dare crowd in his presence. Normally he spent the first month of the school year reminding old students and teaching new students how to behave in his school. Didn't want them getting into bad habits early. But first, he had one change to make this year.
He had destroyed the student council when he had arrived at the elementary school and replaced the council with the Disciplinary Committee, but now, looking at it, the student body needed a way to communicate with his group without fear of immediate punishment, that meant they needed someone approachable, someone they could talk to that wouldn't be afraid to pass on the communication.
His list of appropriate student was very short, the only two on that list were the annoying illusionist bastard brat, and the little animal. Out of the two it was a clear choice, being forced to regularly deal with the annoying Mist brat, or deal with the little animal, easy, bugger the Mist, he would make Tsuna the front of the publicised council, Tsuna would talk to him and listen to them.
So, how did he search out his lunch providing animal to talk about this? He knew where the brat lived, and he knew where Xanxus lived, so he should be able to find her at either of those locations.
So, how should he word his order? The brat was pretty naive sometimes, more than just a little depending on the topic.
He didn't want the other brats around, at either locations where she was normally there was a 99% chance of other brats being around, so, he needed to remove her from the other brats. Looking out the window in thought Kyoya blinked startled, so it was that time of year already?
"Tetsuya." his second in command, Kusakabe Tetsuya, bowed to Kyoya while the child dragged his eyes from the window "Bring Sawada Tsunahime to my house."
"...The young one won't want to leave her." Kyoya sighed, yes, the youngest pet she had picked up, her son.
"The smallest animal is allowed, but no one else." Tetsuya bowed to him before leaving to go find Tsuna.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Nana blinked at the knock on her door, heading for the door she smiled out at Kyoya's best friend, the boy that was always by the child "Kyo-san would like to borrow Tsunahime-san." Nana smiled before calling up to Tsuna, Tsuna came down the stairs, Fuuta trailing after her, he didn't like being separated from his mama.
"Kyoya-kun wants to see you Tsu-chan." Fuuta grabbed Tsuna's hand while Tetsuya smiled at the small child
"Fuuta-san is also invited." Tetsuya added, that brightened the small child. Tsuna looked at Nana in question, her mother smiled and nodded to her.
"Go on Tsu-chan." Tsuna nodded and followed after Tetsuya, the taller child picking up Fuuta for her and carrying him, Fuuta looked startled at first before giggling and tugging at the slowly growing pompadour hairstyle the child had.
Tetsuya led them to Kyoya's traditional style mansion, Tsuna blinking at it with wide eyes as he led her through hallways to a private yard, a cherry blossom tree in late bloom, and Kyoya sitting drinking green tea.
"Kyo-san." steel grey eyes flicked over to them, Tetsuya putting Fuuta down, the child's wide eyes on the tree, he had never seen anything like that.
Kyoya pointed to a cushion for Tsuna as she nodded, Kyoya ignoring Fuuta while the child ran around the blooming tree in awe trying to catch falling petals.
"We need to talk." Tsuna smiled brightly at Kyoya while he glared back at her "Sit." Tsuna knelt on the cushion smiling to Tetsuya when the child poured her some tea and slid it over. "As of Monday there will be changes at the school."
"Mmm?" Tsuna sipped at her tea watching her tiny animal running around in the petals.
"I'm reinstating the student council." Tsuna tilted her head at him confused why he was telling her "You will be taking the role of President."
"Eh?"
"I'm not repeating myself little animal." Kyoya growled while Tsuna squeaked and looked at her tea, sipping it while trying to figure out what he was saying. Student Council President? Tsuna had never heard of that before, when she had entered school there was only the Disciplinary Committee. What did a student council president do?
"Um….Kyoya-nii…." Tsuna peeked over at him "What does a student council president do?" Kyoya froze sending her a glare, but she looked genuinely confused.
"Kyo-san….the council was removed before Tsunahime-san started Elementary School." Kyoya blinked looking over at the confused Tsuna with an internal 'oh'.
"Student Council takes on a role of listening to student problems and delivering them to the disciplinary committee, allocation of rooms to clubs, managing paperwork and budgeting money. You will also help in organizing events-" AKA crowding days to him "-and making sure they run smoothly." Tsuna thought it over for a few moments before nodding.
"Mmm, I'll do my best." Kyoya nodded to her before looking over at her youngest pet who was still running around the tree.
"Cook me lunch." Kyoya ordered while Tsuna nodded with a bright smile, he had been in withdrawal over the holidays, bar the few times he had come over and sat on her roof, Tsuna had to climb up there and give him his meal as he refused to go inside with all the other children "Tetsuya, take her to the kitchen."
Tetsuya bowed to Kyoya before leading Tsuna off with him into the mansion, Tsuna followed him through the halls into the kitchen.
"Do you need any help?" Tsuna tilted her head over at Tetsuya before giggling, he was donning a pink apron "Kyo-san can be pretty picky."
"Do you cook for Kyoya-nii often?" Tetsuya handed her the blue apron and pulled out a small stool for her to stand on so she could reach the benches.
"Sometimes, his family are often absent, and Kyo-san doesn't like people in the house, so there's no staff around." Tetsuya explained "What shall we cook?" Tsuna hummed to herself while thinking, Tetsuya checking the fridge "The fridge is well stocked, though most of it is meat."
"Nii-san's fridge is too." Tsuna chuckled as she looked at the fridge full of food "Hamburger steak would be best, wouldn't it." Tsuna sighed while Tetsuya chuckled in agreement pulling out the mince.
"Very true Tsunahime-san, it is Kyo-san's favorite after all." The pair stood in the kitchen talking recipes while they cooked up enough food for them all, Tsuna sneaking some vegetables onto Kyoya's plate that he would probably ignore, but she had to try.
Tetsuya carried the tray of food for her as she trotted after him back down the long quiet hallways until they arrived back at the cherry blossom tree and the veranda around it. Tetsuya set down the food and organised some more tea for the all, Tsuna chasing after Fuuta to drag him over to their lunch, the pair chasing one another around the tree as Kyoya began eating quietly watching as the petals fell from the tree around Tsuna and her smallest animal.

Timoteo sighed heavily while tightening his grip on the phone in his hand. Massimo had called from Japan with a request, while he wanted to tell Massimo no, this was what he had been working towards his entire life. Massimo had never wanted to take over the Vongola, he had wanted to be in CEDEF, he had lived to take over CEDEF, then Enrico had died and his future had changed. Still, Massimo wanted to join with CEDEF, he didn't want to take over the Vongola, and he had finally gotten the courage to say that to his father.
Vongola Nono sighed even heavier as he studied his desk while thinking, Federico was the weakest of his sons when it came to Flames, but Massimo had always wanted to join CEDEF, it was everything he had worked for, do deny his son that….but what about the Vongola, without Massimo it left only Federico.
"Can you wait?" Timoteo asked finally "Just for a little bit, I'll send Federico to Japan, try get his Flames up to par….Is that alright Massimo?"
"Alright." Massimo agreed "I'll do my best to help him….but can you please consider my request?"
"I will. Thank you Massimo."
"You're really considering this?" Timoteo looked over at his long time friends while Reborn sipped at his espresso "Federico won't be able to improve that much, he's nearly at the limit of his abilities." Timoteo sighed heavily shuffling his papers around on his desk for a few moments while thinking.
"The strongest Flame….it's Tsunahime's isn't it?" Reborn nodded "I don't want to involve her in this world anymore then she already is Reborn."
"This world will find her." Reborn warned "She's going to find out about it one day, that's a given. Your only other option for the Vongola is Xanxus and the Varia wouldn't survive losing a leader like him. No one else, other than Tsuna, can keep them all in line. So unless you make Xanxus your heir and Tsuna leads the Varia…"
"That's not possible." Timoteo sighed heavily "Xanxus will remain with the Varia." As much as he loved his son, to be able to take on the Vongola Rings he would need to be blood related to the Vongola. Xanxus, while a good candidate with leadership skills and strong Flames, would never be able to take over the Vongola.
That left him with his other two sons, Massimo was the best candidate but he wasn't going to force the famiglia on his son against his will, Massimo had spent his life preparing for CEDEF, and Timoteo was actually wanting one of his sons to join CEDEF, it would comfort him greatly if one of his sons kept an eye on matters there, and an eye or two on Iemitsu. That left him with Federico, his youngest.
Federico was a good leader, but he didn't have the Flames to be able to take over the Vongola, but what other choices did he have. Enrico would have been the perfect boss to take over after him, what did he do now? Force the Vongola on Massimo, or chance it on Federico.
He had to make up his mind soon however, as soon as Massimo officially joined CEDEF there was no going back, the independant organisation had to stay separate from the Vongola, once Massimo joined he wouldn't be part of the Vongola anymore, he would be part of CEDEF, it was impossible to change back once you were in CEDEF. That was why Iemitsu had joined CEDEF, to silence the rumours of him wanting and trying to take over the Vongola after Nono. If he let Massimo join then he would to stay in CEDEF forever.
"We both know, Tsunahime would be the best option." Reborn reminded as Timoteo flinched, yes he knew that, but he didn't want to even consider that. "She's caught up to Federico, it's only a matter of time before she catches up to Massimo, even I don't know how potent her Flame will be, it's showing no signs of stopping its growth."
"I know old friend, trust me I know…." it was the cause of many a headache, the best option for the Vongola would be to bring Tsuna into the fold and make her the heir, but that had to be a last option only. What was best for the Vongola wasn't best for his conscience or the small girl's childhood. Tsuna would be kept out of the Mafia as long as possible. "But she's a child Reborn. A civilian child." Timoteo ignored the scoff of laughter from Rebron. The girl hardly a civilian anymore "I want her to be able to grow up outside our world, even if she is already one foot in. I don't want to see her smile darken...I agree that one day it is more than likely that she will learn about everything, but for as long as possible I want to protect her smile. I want Xanxus to be able to keep smiling."
"It's your decision Nono, my advice stands, bring the girl in."
"I will always thank you for your honest advice Reborn, but I'm not letting her be dragged in anytime soon. The girl is in elementary school, she is staying out of the Mafia for some years yet."
"I heard an interesting tidbit from Mammon by the by." Reborn switched topic, when the topic was done, it was done with Nono, there would be no more dancing around it. "The girls Cloud has installed her as Student Council President at the school. It's good mock training for being a boss."
"That is amusing." Timoteo chuckled "The child that was bullied by the student body is about to be their voice." silence fell between them while Nono chuckled to himself.
"I'll leave you to it Nono, I've got work to do….don't come calling to me when you need boss training for the brat." Nono waved Reborn out before sighing heavily and cradling his head in his hands. What the hell was he going to do?
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Monday morning resulted in an enforced assembly for the school, Kyoya glaring at them all from the podium for their crowding, even if it was at his order, it still irked the child to no end having this many herbivores in one room.
"Listen up Herbivores." Kyoya growled "As of today the Student Council is reinstated, the President is picked at my will, you all obey or you will be punished." Everyone just stared at him in silence while he dark eyes flashed over the room checking that each and every stupid herbivore understood "Your Student Council President is Sawada Tsunahime. There is no negotiation, there is no-" he cut off with a growl when some students made to cheer at the announcement, they all fell silent when one Demon glared in their direction, Kyoya pinned them all with his glare as silence fell again. "-no choice. Dismissed!" the order had everyone scurrying towards the doors, Tsuna blinking in surprise when two students approached hesitantly.
"Kaichou?" Tsuna was a tad flustered at that, she had never been spoken to so formally, bar Hayato when he first arrived. "C-Can we speak to you?"
"Stay back from Tsu-hime." Hayato growled as he pounced on the students, Tsuna tugged at his collar, pulling him back from them with a frown directed to the horrified looking Hayato. Tsuna wasn't happy with his actions.
"It's okay Hayato-nii. What can I help you with?" Tsuna asked while Hayato sulked to one side, Takeshi chuckling as he threw an arm around Hayato that the child threw off immediately.
"Don't feel down Haya-chan, it just means we have to share her with the rest of the school." That made Hayato growl at the students again, trying to glare them off, but they were busy talking with Tsuna.
Chikusa sighed heavily adjusting his glasses, things were going to get even busier now, if his research was correct Tsuna would also need some support on this 'Student Council' thing, he sent Mukurou a look, the illusionist nodding, they were going to have words about this after things died down a bit.
"I-It's about some bullies." Tsuna was all ears for the girls then, while she still didn't completely understand her role she wasn't going to let some students get away with bullying. The girls had been too scared of Kyoya to report to him, but to talk to her was much easier, and if she would stand up to the glaring terrifying demon then they would really appreciate the help relaying the message.
"K-Kaichou." Tsuna blinked looking over at another pair of student nervously waiting to talk to her "The Drama Club has a request." Tsuna glanced around at the waiting students, there were actually quite a few people waiting to talk to her.
"No crowding herbivores!" They scattered at Kyoya's growled, Tsuna blinking over at him with huge confused brown eyes.
"But you said I was meant to listen to them Kyoya-nii, where should we crowd instead?" Kyoya's eye twitched, the students around them all freezing in their escape when Tsuna addressed Kyoya as Kyoya-nii, and even scarier, Kyoya didn't smack her for it. This was news to them.
"You have been issued an office. In that space, and that space alone will crowding be exempt." it looked like it hurt Kyoya to spit that out, Tsuna just blinked at him before nodding.
"Okay, thank you Kyoya-nii. Where is the office?" Kyoya tossed her a piece of paper with a room circled on the school map. "Okay." Tsuna smiled brightly at him "We'll head there now."
"We will meet after school has finished to discuss what is brought up. Do not fall behind in your studies." Tsuna nodded before looking back at the students that had once, a few years ago, called her dame-Tsuna, none of them seemed to remember that now however, she was now their Kaichou. And someone that had just referred to the Demon of Namimori as Kyoya-nii without any punishment from the temperamental child.
Tsuna had become an instant legend. No one remembered dame-Tsuna anymore.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Hana was rolling on the floor laughing, clutching her middle while the giggles escaped. The child had wondered what Tsuna had been up to recently, always surrounded and busy. To think that she had adopted a three year old on top of taking up the student council. The three year old who was currently sitting in Tsuna's lap.
"You're serious?" Hana snickered "You're his mother?!" Tsuna just nodded her arms around Fuuta, he was a little confused to be honest "This is….too much…." Hana had noticed something different when school came back after Golden Week, Tsuna had been antsy about finishing her day and going home, now it all made sense, she had a son, the small child before them was taking up Tsuna's attention. Hana found it hilarious.
"Mama is Fuuta's mama." Kyoko could only squeal at the cuteness, the little boy was adorable.
"All those in favour of allowing Fuuta-chan in on the girl's nights~" Kyoko giggled raising a hand, Tsuna slid her hand up as well and Nagi's wasn't far behind, Fuuta throwing his up since everyone else was. Hana sighed heavily looking between her two friends.
"Fine, whatever, the kid stays….at least he's not giving me hives." It would seem this kid was different from other ones, maybe because he was quiet and actually kind of cute, other brats were always whining, sniffling and crying. This one was calm and just happy to be with Tsuna.
"Hives?" Nagi asked in confusion while Hana shrugged it off.
"What movie would you like to watch Fuuta-chan?" Kyoko asked while Tsuna translated for the child, Kyoko tilting her head in question while Hana sighed again.
"Any ones you know that you want to watch?" Hana asked in Italian, Kyoko looking between Tsuna and Hana in confusion.
"Hana-chan, you speak….uh…."
"Italian." Nagi noted softly, Hana shrugged at the question. As soon as she had heard that the people surrounding Tsuna speaking it she set herself the task of learning it, Hana did not like not knowing. There was no way they were going to hold conversations around her while she had no clue of what was being said. Hana had began cramming Italian as soon as she got home from the first training session with Lussuria. The first of many sessions that regularly made her want to kill Tsuna and Lussuria.
The flamboyant man worked them to and past their limits, Hana hated physical exercise, ask her to cram for any subject and she was all over, and past it, but hand to hand combat and physical conditioning could take a flying leap in her opinion.
"Hana-chan and Tsu-chan are so smart~ Does Nagi-chan know too?" Nagi nodded while Kyoko giggled "Teach me too~" Tsuna nodded while beginning to give Kyoko some simple words, Hana sifting through their movie pile for something the kid might enjoy.
"Comedy?" Hana asked while Tsuna nodded over to her friend "Hmm….We've got a few. Fuuta, cartoon or live action?" Fuuta looked a tad overwhelmed, Tsuna hugging the small child tight before coming up with an option for him.
"Live action, we've watched cartoons every time." Hana nodded with a smirk, pulling out a movie for them and loading it up. Kyoko ran downstairs and grabbed the snacks, Tsuna talking to Fuuta softly about what was going on and Nagi piling together the blankets and pillows for their nest.
"Well my friends, enjoy~" Hana snickered while they all settled into the nest of blankets and pillows, eyes on the television while the movie began to play. The movie taking the screen while Tsuna quietly translated to Italian for her little animal. It was a good training session on her language skills. Even so Tsuna wasn't going to talk to Lussuria about it, he'd start making them watch and translate movies as practice too.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Mukurou hated to admit it, but he was wrong. Hell, he hated to admit he was ever wrong about anything, let alone having started to care about yet another brat outside their family. Ken, Chikusa and he had been alone for years, then came the bright little brat named Tsuna, no matter how hard he fought Tsuna had managed to burrow under his skin, forcing her stubborn little self into his heart, and into their tiny family. Her smile, her innocence and by God her power.
Now, yet another of the little brats was nudging in, Mammon had thrown him in with Nagi and the girl had started to burrow under his defences. Mukurou had thought her an annoying brat that had never known life at its worst. Nagi seemed weak and pathetic to him originally, then he had gotten to know the girl.
He knew she had a troubled past, but he had never expected just how bad it was, Muurou assumed she had been yelled at, and maybe spanked once or twice, what he had never expected was just how badly she had been abused by her parents.
"Show me your greatest fear," Mammon ordered "Emotional memories make the base of some potent illusions, fear, anger, sadness. These memories can make the base illusion much stronger, and a lot harder to get out of." Nagi flinched and sunk into herself, her greatest fear wasn't something she wanted to face again.
Mukurou just shrugged at Mammon and easily summoning the lab where he had lived until Xanxus took him home to be Tsuna's pet, doctors swarming around with strange and terrifying instruments to hack, cut and slash their way into his head. Mammon nodded in approval before waving his illusion off and turning her attention to Nagi.
Mukurou had assumed that Nagi's greatest fear would be her parents whining or yelling at her, what other problems could a non experiment and civilian have?
"Girl, your worst fear, now." Nagi shaking as she silently summoned the power of illusions and showed them her worst nightmare. After her mother had been drinking, and her father injecting himself with who knows what. Nagi could only whimper as the nightmare that was her parents appeared as the demons they were in her mind.
"Well….shit." Mukurou murmured while he stepped over to the panicking Nagi and pressed his hand over her eyes. Nagi was in such a state of panic that she had lost control of the illusions, Mammon had to restrain the demon parents from trying to physically assault her youngest student.
"Drop the illusion Nagi." Mammon ordered while it fell away, leaving Nagi shaking and sniffling, her legs gave out and she slid to the floor hugging her middle.
Mukurou didn't like to hug, not that Tsuna gave him a choice, but for once even he knew that it was needed by Nagi, and Tsuna would get grumpy at him if he didn't comfort the little girl. So he wrapped his arms around the shaking child, looks like she had seen more than they had assumed.
He felt a little guilty about how standoffish he had been to the girl, she had more in common with them than any of them had thought….looks like he would have to actually be nice to her from now on. Chikusa was going to say a big 'I told you so', Ken would take a while, he was very hard to get on with, and he didn't like new people, bar Tsuna, he especially didn't like kids that took Tsuna's attention away from him such as Nagi and Fuuta.
Mukurou admitted it was a tad unfair that those two got to spend so much more time with Tsuna as they lived with her, it had been one of the main annoyances for Mukurou about the small shaking girl in his arms.
Mukurou sighed silently and kept hugging the little girl, well shit, that made another one they had to take with them when they left. Which they were going to do….eventually. They were biding their time and making use of their training, that's what, yup, that's what they were doing.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Tsuna hugged Nagi closer while the small girl sniffled and sobbed, since coming back from the mansion and her training session with Mammon, Nagi had been upset. Nana peeked in at Tsuna hugging the small girl her eyes flicked to Fuuta as well, and the small child Fon that Timoteo had sent to help the boy Hayato, all of whom slept with Tsuna regularly. Nagi had her own room but always ended up in Tsuna's bed anyway, Fuuta didn't want a room and wanted to stay with Tsuna and Fon came in and out as he pleased. THe only child in the house that didn't jump in Tsuna's bed regularly was Basil, the child was ever careful about his interactions with them, something Nana found very sad for him about. He had been told by her husband not to interact with them more then he had to, not to treat them like family.
Nana and Tsuna were not going to stand for it for long at all, it had only been a week so far that the small Italian was with them in their home, they would help warm him up to them from now on. Xanxus had even organised for Basil to start at Namimori Elementary along with all the other children.
She really had to get Tsuna a bigger bed however, Tsuna was out of room in her small child sized bed, surrounded by children. A single bed wasn't going to cut it anymore, she'd have to order Tsuna a bigger one, a snuggle sized bed.
Nana was pretty sure she could get it delivered and into Tsuna's room before she got home from school in the next few days.
Nana would call the supplier that had brought in her own bed to organise for a new one for Tsuna. Padding quietly down the stairs Nana began searching for the contact number to call tomorrow.
Tsuna hugged Nagi tight and curled around the small girl, she hadn't seen Nagi this scared since she had first brought her home. Nagi was shaking and trying her best to hold back her tears. "T-Tsu-nee." Tsuna ran her hand through the small child's hair and hugged her close.
"It's all okay now Nagi-chan, it's okay, I'll keep you safe." Tsuna hugged her tight "I won't let anything hurt you, I'll keep you safe. Nii-san, everyone in the Varia, everyone, will help, we will keep you safe."
"M...Mmm." Tsuna hugged her even tighter "I trust you Tsu-nee." Tsuna would keep Nagi safe, even if she had to fight against the small girl's parents, as long as Nagi was safe, then Tsuna would be happy.
"I will keep you safe Nagi-chan, Tsu-nee will keep you safe, from now until forever." Nagi hugged Tsuna tight.
"I believe you, Tsu-nee." Nagi believed Tsuna. She really did, Tsuna would do everything to keep her safe "I believe you." Tsuna hugged Nagi tight with a soft smile, Tsuna would do everything to keep Nagi safe.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Tsuna really began settling into her role as Student Council President over the next few weeks, the school got used to having someone they could talk to without having to change their health at directly talking to the Disciplinary Committee and Tsuna filled out the places of the student council with her family. She had done some research about the whole council thing and apparently you could have other people there to help.
Chikusa had a talent for maths and took over the Treasurer position, Mukurou installed himself as Vice President, which infuriated Hayato who wished to be her right hand man, so instead the silver haired child gave himself the role of Tsuna's protection on and around school grounds, Hayato liked to think of it as Tsuna's own Paladin, Xanxus had told him that he wasn't allowed to use the term Guardian, though Nono had apparently labelled them as Paladin, a role he was proud to take up.
Ken sulked for a week about not being able to join them because of baseball, Takeshi was a little sad about it too, but they had been told they had to get their grades more stable before they would be allowed to take on a further extracurricular activity, unless they dropped baseball, and Tsuna wasn't going to let them do that.
Kyoko and Hana helped out part time, they had both promised Tsuna that when events came up they'd help with all the organisation that came extra with those times in the year.
Kyoko's older brother Ryohei actually joined up to help manage all the sports clubs, Tsuna had no idea about what sports clubs needed beyond what they told her they needed, so she had no idea when they were ordering equipment they didn't need or already had. Ryohei, for being a boxing nut, knew a lot about the other sports clubs too and had been incredibly helpful to Tsuna.
Basil had been flustered but accepted when Tsuna asked him to help out with the other clubs that Ryohei wasn't managing, the boy spent the next two days cramming for anything he might need to know so that he didn't let Tsuna, no, his little sister down.
Nagi had taken on being the secretary, she liked to just listen and make notes more than getting involved directly, so it suited her just fine to keep the records of meeting minutes and the like.
Tsuna had found out however, that Kyoya hated his paperwork, and when he reinstated the student council he made her directly responsible for all his paperwork on top of the student council paperwork.
The first afternoon where she had seen the teetering tower of papers on her new desk had made her sigh, let alone the content of the paperwork.
Hospital reports on Kyoya's victims, the less than legal money making methods of the disciplinary committee, bribes and blackmail material to and on various people in the town to make sure they looked the other way if Kyoya ordered it.
Xanxus had just laughed when she told him about it "That's why I palm my paperwork off onto Squalo, no one likes doing that shit." to which Tsuna had responded with a pen to his forehead.
Setting aside the papers for Kyoya into the purple out tray Tsuna head hit down on her desk with a sigh and a clunk, there was so much work to do….this was not what she expected when Kyoya ordered her take this position. Paperwork was exhausting.
Then after doing all this Xanxus dragged her into training and tutoring sessions before she was allowed to collapse in bed and sleep. Xanxus had told her that no matter how busy she was at school with her new position she still had to complete all her homework and do a minimum of an hour training with him.
It had taken a few weeks before Tsuna was no longer a walking sleep deprived zombie, it also meant another rule was added to the Varia's growing list, sleep deprived Tsuna was something to be feared, Ken still had nightmares about it.
After a brief period adjustment Tsuna had started to really get into the role of President for the elementary school, there had been one or two seniors that had voiced discontent about a younger student being made President, that lasted all of five seconds when the ones absent from the assembly saw Tsuna refer to Kyoya as Kyoya-nii without any tonfa being thrown her direction, or being dragged outside by the Committee member and not returning for weeks.
After getting a bit more comfortable in the role Tsuna was a much nicer person to be around in the morning, for a week even her family had avoided her when she got up in the morning, not until she was resting properly and no longer a Xanxus clone without meat, booze and his guns.
All in all, not a pleasant person to be around.
Things were finally running smoothly at school to Kyoya's content, no one came crowding around him anymore with their problems, and his paperwork was being done at an acceptable rate. This was turning out to be one of his better decisions.
However he did want to spar with the little animal one day when she was sleep deprived, that seemed like fun.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Nana and Tsuyoshi had a night off of parenting for the first time in a while, all the children were out of their hands, a sleepover at the mansion tonight, all the children were there which meant that Nana and Tsuyoshi had no responsibilities tonight, it meant they could actually sit and talk things over, life the universe and everything without needing to keep an eye out for any of the children.
While Nana often had nights where Tsuna, Nagi and Fuuta were out (sleepovers at Hana or Kyoko's house) it was rare for Basil to be out at night too, and while the child had warmed to Nana he was still very quiet, he seemed to think that he was going to get in trouble from Iemitsu for even daring to call Tsuna his sister.
So Nana and Tsuyoshi had the family albums out, pictures of all the children when they had either first come to Nana or when they were born, they spent the evening gushing over baby pictures and reminiscing on those moments in life that parents always treasured.
"You know….it's scary how similar these two look at two." Tsuyoshi chuckled setting a photo of Takeshi down near one of Tsuna "Those damned eyes."
"We need to get more pictures of them together." Nana giggled "They're so cute together, and now with Basil-kun too. We need pictures of our cute little ones before they grow up~"
"Don't remind me, kids theses days, growing up so fast, Takeshi's grown so much this year, he's going to be taller than me soon." Nana had to giggle at that, Takeshi really was shooting up fast
"I don't think Tsu-chan will be growing too much, she's always been very little." Nana sighed "Though it does make her extra cute~"
"She's only grown an inch or so in the last year, she's going to be very petite." Tsuyoshi chuckled "I swear Takeshi's shot up by a foot. He's 8, he's going to be as tall as Xanxus-kun at this rate." Nana burst into giggles at that "Nana-san?"
"I'm sorry Tsuyoshi-san, the picture just came to me of Xanxus and Takeshi swapping personalities for some reason." Tsuyoshi blinked at her for a few moments before they burst into laughter, Xanxus all smiles, baseball and hugs….and Takeshi all brooding and grumpy.
"While we're swapping personas, what about Chikusa and Ken swapping." Tsuyoshi mused, Nana was holding the table to keep her laughter from forcing her to fall out of her chair.
"Ch-Chikusa-kun….bouncing around….yelling matches with Ryohei-kun." Nana cackled while Tsuyoshi clutched his middle.
"Ken quiet for more than two seconds." Tsuyoshi snickering while the pair looked at one another for a few seconds before bursting into laughter again.
"S-Squalo-kun and L-Luss."
"Nagi and Mammon!" and so the night wore on, the pair coming up with stranger and stranger combinations of the surrounding adopted family of the bright little Sky child.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
With many tears and hugs Massimo and Federico were finally getting out of Xanxus' mansion and back where they belonged, far away from Tsuna.
Xanxus hadn't been able to stop himself from smirking all day, finally, finally they were leaving, heading back to Italy and their duties there. That meant that they were only left with Fon intruding on their not so quiet life.
No more Massimo induced Hide and Seek Tsuna. No more joint training sessions while they tried to advance Federico's Flames beyond their limit.
Finally, Xanxus had the brat to himself….well, it would be nice if that was true, but instead Tsuna was always busy nowadays, thankfully their training at least would be back to being private. The four Vongola Sky's had been training together for the last six months, now with his brothers gone it was just him and Tsuna in their afternoon training sessions again.
Xanxus had to share his brat with so many people now, and because of the Cloud bastard Tsuna was also being shared at school with all her new duties, to be able to get back just one of their private times together was amazing. The one time where he didn't have to share Tsuna.
Back when all this started it had just been the Varia and Tsuna….he did sometimes wonder what it would have been like if he hid Tsuna away like Squalo suggested, kidnap her and keep her in the Varia mansion without telling anyone. Without his brat collecting toy after toy until they had kids coming out their ears.
Massimo and Federico were minutes from being on a plane and out of his hair, so that finally he could get back to normal….well whatever normal now was for the Varia's Mafia Babysitting service.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
At Tsuna's encouragement Nagi had finally gotten her courage to bring out her announcement, before they went back to school for the new term at the end of August, Nagi had asked Tsuna gather all the children in the Varia mansion for the news.
"What is this about hime?" Chikusa asked with a soft sigh, so troublesome.
"Chrome-chan has an announcement." Everyone looked at her strangely while Nagi twisted her hand together glancing around at all the children.
"Chrome?" Hayato asked confused while Tsuna nodded.
"Mmm." Tsuna nudged Chrome forwards and took her hand to share some courage with Chrome.
"I-I….the name those people gave me….I wanted to start fresh. T-Tsu-nee helped me w-with names….F-From now on….P-please, call me Chrome."
"Chrome….is it…." Mukurou sighed glanced over at his two, the pair shrugging back at him. "Chrome it is."
"If Tsu-hime gave you the name then it can't be helped. Chrome." Hayato grumped while Takeshi tossed an arm around his shoulders with a chuckle.
"Come on Haya-chan, be a little happier, Chrome-chan, it's nice to re-meet you~"
"F-Fudge you, baseball moron." Hayato growled while throwing his arm off his shoulders and pinning Nagi with a glare, his glare disappearing the moment Tsuna looked at him in a disapproving manner
"...So, Na...Chrome is coming with us?" Chikusa noted softly while Mukurou tossed him a glare "How troublesome."
"It would make Tsuna sad if we left her behind." Mukurou grumbled while Chikusa held back his laugh, was Mukurou still pretending that it was for Tsuna? "Don't look at me like that." Chikusa shrugged and looked back over at the shy child, in truth it was for the best that Chrome came with them, she wouldn't survive a separation from her saviour, Tsuna.
Chikusa didn't mention to Mukurou the fact that they hadn't left yet, and rarely ever talked of it anymore. He didn't mention that Mukurou had looked worried when Chrome had appeared so restless the last few days in the lead up for her announcement. Chikusa didn't mention any of it, but he watched and he quietly worked behind the scenes to ensure things ran smoothly both at home and school. It was his special skill, quietly moving things in the direction that worked best to make things the least troublesome.
"So, Chrome~ You got a new family name too? You picks Sawada? You basically are." Takeshi chuckled while Chrome shook her head over at the taller child.
"I….ummm…."
"Dokuro." Tsuna stepped in, Chrome gripping her hand tight "Dokuro Chrome, Chrome-chan has her reasons, that doesn't make her any less of a Sawada." Takeshi chuckled at that, of course, Tsuna didn't care about name, origin or anything, she accepted her family unconditionally. Faults and all, something he was very glad for, he needed someone to smack him every now and then about waking up from his depression.
"Fine, Chrome." Hayato grumbled "Don't forget this girl, I'm Tsu-hime's Paladin, her right hand-"
"I'm Vice President puppy."
"Man." Hayato growled over at Mukurou before flicking his eyes back over to Chrome "Don't drag Tsu-hime down." Tsuna frowned over at Hayato, wrapping an arm around Chrome and hugging her tight.
"Hayato-nii….be nice." Tsuna ordered "Chrome-chan is part of my family, I want you all to get along." Tsuna sighed while Hayato's fail and ears wilted and he nodded over to her quietly.
"S-Sorry, Tsu-hime." Hayato looked over at Chrome, his ears and tail still limp "Sorry….Chrome." Tsuna brightened and hugged Chrome once more.
"Now we need to go tell nii-san!" Tsuna bounced out of the room, Chrome stumbling after her while she dragged the small girl around to tell everyone in the mansion of Chrome's new name.
"You do know her name is now an anagram of yours?" Chikusa noted softly over to Mukurou, the child flashing a glare over at his long time friend "Just checking." Chikusa shrugged turning his eyes to the empty doorway "We should make cake, Tsuna would like it."
"I'll make the best cake ever for Tsu-hime!" Hayato yelled as he powered out of the room, Takeshi laughing after the green eyed child and jogging after him, cooking a celebratory cake for Nagi...no Chrome, sounded like fun, and Tsuna was sure to like it.
"Cake~" Ken wasn't far behind as he sprinted to the kitchen "Shotgun on licking the bowl~"
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
October rolled around fast, it felt like only yesterday they had the joint party for Tsuna, Xanxus and Chikusa, this year it was just for Tsuna and Xanxus, like the first time. Chikusa's would be celebrated separately, he didn't want to impose on the joint party of the powerful Sky children of the Vongola.
Tsuna had pouted but Chikusa had assured her that they would still celebrate his, but this party was for her and Xanxus, and what really got her agreement was that it meant more cake in a few weeks. Tsuna was always happy about cake, however it wasn't allowed to be too sweet for some reason, all cakes had to be approved by Xanxus for their sweetness level and sugar content.
Xanxus was the only person Tsuna knew that read the nutrition panel of cakes.
"So...what's the theme this year?" Chikusa sighed while Tsuna tilted her head at him in confusion.
"Last year was ballroom, I hear the year before that was dress up, what theme is it this year?" Chikusa extrapolated while Tsuna smiled brightly over at them all.
"Mafia~ Reborn-san suggested it….It sounds like fun, I wanna get some guns like nii-san….I need a suit for the mafia don't I?" Chikusa chuckled in amusement while Mukurou sighed, he was sure Reborn was getting a talking to for suggesting something so close to home.
"We'll talk to Xanxus, maybe he can give us a uniform or something, like a Mafia one." Chikusa suggested, ignoring the look Mukurou sent him. If Xanxus found out they encouraged this focus on the Mafia he was going to kill them.
"Ah! Like the one nii-san wears all the time!" Tsuna squealed with a giggle, Xanxus' work uniform was black coats and dark colours. If they had something like that, maybe they could pretend it was a Mafia uniform.
"Reborn is so dead." Mukurou muttered to Chikusa who couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Maybe, since the theme is Mafia, we could be her Guardians for once."
"As long as Xanxus doesn't flip his lid at us, I don't care what we dress up. We need to make sure that the bastard knows that it was not our idea."
Xanxus really wanted to say now, he wanted to say no way in hell and throw the idea out of the window….but Tsuna looked so excited. They were seriously going to play Mafia dress up this year.
"Nii-san~ What should we wear….we should have a uniform right? Does the Mafia have uniforms?" He dared not say yes for fear of Tsuna hearing the truth, but he also dared not say no for the same reason, her intuition was still as scary as ever, he had to be careful in his wording so as not to alert Tsuna to the truth behind everything.
"I'm sure they do….what sort of uniform did you want?" Tsuna hummed softly while tapping her chin, what sort of uniform did they have.
"Black!" Tsuna noted "We need black….sort of….suit? The movie I saw, the Mafia had suits." Xanxus shared a look with Squalo, there were a few days left, so he could probably order some uniforms for the kids.
"Lussuria has uniform designs you know." Squalo noted "If you're considering this." Tsuna nodded with a bright smile, Lussuria always had pretty things, if he had organised some possible uniforms, for whatever reason, they had to be amazing.
"...Bring Lussuria here." Xanxus growled as Squalo darted deeper into the mansion to drag Lussuria into the office with his Paladin uniform designs.
It didn't take long, Lussuria arrived with an armful of designs and scribbles "Pick your favorite Tsu-chan~" Tsuna blinked down at the pile of pictures that had fallen at her feet.
"Mmm." Tsuna sat down and began to sift through the pictures, now...to choose, Tsuna wanted her family to be happy with the uniform, she wasn't going to pick just anything. Tsuna was hoping all her family would wear this, so she needed to make sure that everyone, Kyoya and Mukurou included would wear it.
Which meant that there needed to be black, and the option to have the jacket float like a cape behind them….so shoulder pins or clasps to stop it falling off….and more black, there needed to be black. At the same time however there needed to be colours for all their Flames, Tsuna wanted to make sure all the outfits had the right Flame colours, the colours were gorgeous.
So….she needed some sort of black and yet still Flame coloured outfit that could turn the jacket into a cape….easy, surely that was easy to make?
Tsuna and Lussuria sat there for the next three hours looking at designs and Lussuria adjusting the designs as needed to fit with the little principessa's designs.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Kyoya glared at Tsuna angrily, why the fuck would he put on an outfit for the party, it was bad enough that he had to attend the crowding event (however as Mukurou had reminded him, Tsuna was doing his paperwork so he owed at least this to her) but to be pushed into a strange uniform and outfit….Kyoya was not amused at all...Until he saw how the new uniform looked in the mirror….this, this was what he wanted for his uniform.
Black jacket flowing of the shoulders, lilac purple tie loose around his throat on top of a white shirt and crisp black jacket and pants. Kyoya hated to admit it, but it looked good, let alone with the colour appropriate cufflinks and striking dark colours.
Hell, Tsuna was really an anomaly….and this uniform, he was going to introduce that at school. New uniforms, however, only for the Disciplinary Committee and the Student Council, Kyoya did not want random herbivores wearing his uniform.
"You have one week to organise uniforms for the entire committee and council." Tsuna blinked in surprise while Kyoya glared at her "The uniform will be exclusive to those two organisations only. Anyone that dares alter their uniform in such a manner will be dealt with." Tsuna was confused, but what she did understand from the conversation was that the Mafia uniform from the part was about to become her school uniform.
Tsuna didn't mind that much about having it her new uniform, the uniform was pretty cool, and the colours were fun. Kyoya however seemed very happy with it, Tsuna could only blink while the child stared at his new uniform, twisting and turning in front of the mirror and checking his new uniform from every direction.
"As of Monday." Kyoya growled Tsuna wasn't sure if she should be happy or scared of that, she was going with happy at the moment, with lack of other options.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
The party was everything it had been over the last year, dressing up and being friendly between all sorts of factions, both legal and otherwise.
Tsuna however got the very best surprise from her 'nii-san'. The teen sitting the small girl down and handing her two woolen mittens he had sourced with great trouble.
"Activate your Flames on your hands." Xanxus ordered as Tsuna nodded and the Flames came to life, the mittens orphing into leather gloves each with an X on the back of them
"X-X." Tsuna noted softly as the pair of gloves morphed on her hands to show an X on each hand, the woolen mittens turning to leather gloves was pretty cool in her opinion. "Like nii-san, X-X like your name." Xanxus chuckled and petted her head softly.
"X-X, like Xanxus, you're right kid." Timoteo was watching from close by and all he could think was that this is what the future of the Vongola was now, he knew that the next leader would need to be Tsuna...He coulnd't deny that those Flames were just what the Vongola needed, but for now, she would stay a civilian for as long as he could allow.

Omake : Tsuna and Boys : Inspired by 444dodo444
Xanxus was livid, absolutely furious, Tsuna, his brat, had picked up an….admirer. A soon to be corpse that had dared not only look at his brat but was flirting with her.
All her Paladins were on red alert watching and waiting for him to step over the line so they could descend on him and tear him apart, and the most annoying thing was Tsuna had no idea. Tsuna assumed everyone wanted to be friends, she didn't even see the possibility of someone liking her romantically, so she was being nice to the bastard, and while Tsuna was being nice to him they couldn't take him out. They had to wait until he messed up and made Tsuna uncomfortable before they could remove him from the population.
It had been a week now and Xanxus was well past his short fuse of patience, the only thing that kept him from punching the kid in the face was that Tsuna wouldn't like it. Still, it took every ounce of patience, alcohol and rampaging in spars with Squalo to keep himself sane.
"Xanxus! We got a new video in!" Xanxus moved so fast no one could see him move he was at the screen so fast.
"What is it, what did that little bastard do?!" Squalo snorted in amusement while starting the video, Xanxus glaring at the annoying little bastard walking across the screen, he was going to kill that little shit, sooner rather than later.
Xanxus glared at the screen while the little bastard flirted with Tsuna, the motion that pushed him over the edge was that the little bastard trying to put his arm around Tsuna, and not only that, he kissed her cheek. That was when Xanxus saw red, Tsuna had of course pulled away looking a tad creeped out, but the fact that the little whiny bitch had kissed her cheek had Xanxus in total assassin mode.
"Blood right? We can go for blood?!" Xanxus growled while slamming his fist into the screen "That counts as him making my brat uncomfortable!" Squalo nodded with a smirk his blade slipping out while a feral grin took both their lips, Tsuna had been avoiding him ever since, that meant he was free game.
"I would say that it is." Squalo purred while running a stone over the edge of his blade to sharpen it. "Shall we gut the bastard?"
"Oh yes, we're gutting the little bastard~" Squalo had never heard Xanxus so...perky before, the brat was going to die a long slow painful demise.
"Death to the little shit that dared to look at the Varia principessa~"
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Omake : Tsuna and Sugar~ Inspired by Guest
Tsuna grinned brightly at Belphegor while biting down the cake he had ordered, Belphegor smirking as she enjoyed the food he had supplied. Covered in chocolate ganache, chocolate mud care and icing flowers, the cake looked stunning and tasted amazing, though a tad sweet.
"What you think principessa?"
"Thisissoyummy!"Tsuna squeaked, Belphegor tilting his head at her in confusion "WhatisitBel-nii?!"
"You….might wanna talk a bit slower. Can't understand a word principessa."
"WhatareyoutalkingaboutBel-nii, Iamtalkingslow, you'renotmakinganysense." Belphegor blinked at her in confusion, what language was she even speaking? The kid was talking on speed talk, he had no idea what she was saying.
"Uh…."
"Brat!" Belphegor fled hearing Xanxus, he did not want to be in trouble for putting the kid on a sugar high.
"Nii-sanhowareyou, didyoutrythecake, ittastesamazing." Xanxus stared at her in confusion "What'swrongnii-san, trysomecake, it'sreallysweet, butchocolately." Xanxus' eye twitched as he glared at the cake.
"Who gave you this?" Xanxus growled while Tsuna giggled and held out some to him.
"Bel-niigotit, it'sreallyyummy, trysome, it'ssupersweetandforsomereasonhewasallweirdaboutit, sayingIwastalkingfastorsomething." Xanxus' eye twitched, he was goign to kill Belphegor, he had no idea what the hell the brat was saying, she was talking at super speeds.
"Here." Xanxus blinked at Squalo as his second in command held out a recorder.
"Record it and play it back on slow." Xanxus nodded looking back at Tsuna. "Hey brat, who gave you the cake?"
"Bel-nii, itwassuperyummyandyoushouldtrysomenii-san." Xanxus clicked the recording off and started the play back "Bel-nii, it was super yummy and you should try some nii-san."
"Belphegor!"
"I'll add sugar to the list." Squalo sighed getting out a marker to add sugar to the list, he'd print an updated one later.
23. Do not give Tsuna large doses of sugar.
24. Ever.

Omake : Marriage Proposal : The Answer : Inspired by tsuri182718
Xanxus stared at the brat for a few seconds after she had told him she wanted to marry him, his mind whirring over exactly what the brat had asked. Iemitsu was having a fit but he ignored that still staring down at Tsuna while she blinked up at him with those huge brown eyes.
"Good, then I can kill anyone that looks at you? Correct?" Tsuna tilted her head up at him, Xanxus smirking down at her, that meant he could keep boys away from her right? He was going to kill anyone that came near his brat….wife?
"Kill?" Tsuna tilted her head at him while Xanxus smirked down at her.
"Dispose of, remove, get rid of, I can dispose of anyone that looks at my brat."
"Is that what husbands do?" Tsuna asked while Xanxus nodded down at her, that was most assuredly what husbands did, killing off anything that might be looking at his brat.
"Mou, Tsu-chan would be the cutest bride~" Lussuria giggled while he and Nana got to planning cute outfits for the wedding.
"Are they serious?" Squalo whispered over at Xanxus who could only look at the pair in horror, they were talking as if there was actually going to be a wedding, one that was going to take place in the next few days.
"What flowers do you think we should have Tsu-chan?" Nana asked while Tsuna blinked over at her mother before smiling brightly.
"Roses! Black ones!" that paused Nana, the mother blinking down at Tsuna "Black is nii-san's favorite colour. He always wears black." Lussuria couldn't help but squeal at the girl while Xanxus rubbed his temples. Seriously? They were really talking about this? Though Iemitsu's face turning strange shades of purple was entertaining.
"Is black roses a thing?" Squalo mumbled aside to Xanxus, the teen shrugging, how would he know?
"What the fuck-" Xanxus caught the shoe heading towards him "Did I just get myself into."
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Omake : The other side of the bazooka~
"Oh no." Tsuna clenched her eyes shut with a whimper as she was covered by the bazooka.
"Oh….well hello little one."
"M-Mukurou-nii?" Tsuna squeaked with wide eyes at the tall man, he was a lot taller now, his hair was longer too….and he was tall, and had she mentioned he was really tall?! "Wh-what…."
"Welcome to your future Tsu-hime~"
"Don't you dare bug hime." Tsuna blinked over at what she could only assume was Hayato, with that silver hair and green eyes "Leave Tsu-hime alone!"
"All I did was greet her puppy. Stop overreacting." Tsuna had to giggle when the ever present puppy ears appeared on Hayato, so Mukurou still did that even when she had grown up.
"The ears~ Mukurou-nii you still do the ears~" Mukurou smirked down at her, petting her hair gently while Tsuna's mouth dropped open, that however was new. "Mukurou-nii has ears too!" popping up on his head were two white fluffy bunny ears, the tall teen got down on one knee for her while Tsuna squealed and began petting the soft ears "So soft~"
"Only the softest ears for the little hime~" Mukurou chuckled while Tsuna finished petting his soft ears "Would you like to see something cool~ Before we run out of time." Mukurou asked as he picked her up, so small, he had forgotten just how small Tsuna was back then, she had been small to his young self, and now she was even smaller, no wonder Xanxus had lost to her, she was the most adorable small creature, dare he say, little animal.
"Mmm." Tsuna agreed hugging him around his neck "What is it?" Mukurou carried her out to the meeting room, their Tsuna had disappeared to her office for a moment, probably remembered that she disappeared to the past right now. "Come meet everyone~" Mukurou opened the door to the meeting room with a giggle, all of them staring at the door and the tiny bundle in Mukurou's arms "Meet your famiglia Tsu-chan~" before they could do anything more Tsuna disappeared in a puff of smoke and Mukurou found himself holding their Tsunahime, the young woman sighing and flicking Mukurou on the forehead when he kept holding her, pouting he set her down while Tsuna smoothed down her suit.
"Now, where were we?"
"I forgot how cute you were~" Tsuna sighed rubbing at her temples, the rest of the afternoon was going to end up being all of them gushing over how cute she was and dragging out pictures of the past. Looks like they'd work out the rest of their meeting tomorrow.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Omake : Reversal 2~ (This will probably be an omake mini-series on and off.)
Finally, all the kids were in bed, it had taken her hours to finally settle them all, Tsuna had been considering sedating them to stop them, Xanxus and Squalo were constantly fighting, she had to drag Belphegor kicking and screaming off his game. Levi had been ambushing her all evening to give Xanxus the chance to disappear into the mansion. Mammon, well she was just snickering and floating around the halls with a camera, no doubt planning how to make money off Tsuna's nightmare.
Vongola Nono had called in a favour, he apparently thought Tsuna was the best caretaker for these demons for the week while everyone was off on some holiday. From day one it had been a nightmare, ambushes, violence, swearing yelling and fighting. Tsuna was about ready to pull her hair out. But finally, for the first time all day the kids were quiet, Tsuna could finally rest. They were exhausting, more so than any other kids she had taken care of before. If it hadn't been Nono she would have quit already.
Pulling out a book Tsuna sighed and settled into the huge bed in her room to do some reading. Looking over at the window Tsuna blinked as it began to rain, shrugging she settled into her bed and began to read, not even noticing as thunder began to boom outside.
Tsuna squeaked as something silver flashed into the room and under her covers, blinking down at Squalo as the child glanced around nervously "Squalo?"
"I-I was worried that you'd be scared." Squalo hissed "Since you're a girl." Tsuna didn't miss the way he flinched at the next crack and dived back under her covers.
"Oh." Tsuna blinked setting her book aside while biting her lip to hold back her smile "Thank you Squalo." he glared at her before ducking back under at another crack. The lump in her bed soon being joined after another crack by a blond prince. Tsuna didn't say a word, no matter what she said he'd get grumpy at her, instead she just shuffled over so the kids could cuddle up to her. It was cute, that someone so temperamental and strong could act like a child still.
A crack later Xanxus had dived into her sheets as well, Tsuna blinking down at the glaring red eyes "Squalo wouldn't stop bitching about you being scared." Tsuna just stayed silent and let the kid snuggle in. Looking over at the doorway Tsuna sighed seeing Levi peeking in, patting the bed beside her the kid raced in and dived into the bed as well.
Mammon floated in the doorway snapping a few pictures before she floated in and settled on one of Tsuna's pillows, Tsuna bit back her smile and picked up her book again while the children all glared at her but stayed snuggled under her blanket.

Omake : Sleep Deprived Tsuna~
It was Saturday, finally it was Saturday, Tsuna was exhausted, the first week of being on the job as student council president was finally over and this morning, this morning she was finally able to sleep in.
That was until her door slammed open at 6am, with a loud laugh and louder voice Ken tipped Tsuna out of bed "Rise and shine Tsuna, we're going….uh….going…." Ken fumbled off the rest of his sentence while shaking in terror, Tsuna slowly getting to her feet while Sky Flames flickered dangerously close to Wrath ones around her hands and licked up her arms.
"Ken-nii, turn around, walk out of here and do not come back." Ken scurried out while Mukurou glanced in at her, quickly raising his hands in surrender and backing out of sight as well.
"Mama?" Tsuna's Flames cut off as she bundled Fuuta, Nagi and Fon back into her bed.
"I'll ensure no one comes to wake you." Fon promised as Tsuna hugged Fuuta tight and closed her eyes, next person to disturb her sleep was going to die.
Ken slid down with a shaky breath to crouch at the bottom of the stairs. Mukurou leant against a wall nearby his younger friend while taking a deep breath, who knew Tsuna could be so terrifying.
"T-Tsuna was scary." Mukurou nodded in agreement "Like….Xanxus with no meat scary."
"Did you morons go try wake up the brat?" Xanxus snorted while rolling his eyes at them, he had made that mistake before and a solid Flame infused right hook had slammed into his chin with one glare before the girl turned over and went back to sleep. "Only time I've ever seen that brat proper angry."
"Can we add that to the list?" Ken asked shakily pushing himself to stand "Tsuna was super scary."
"I'll add it to the list when we get home." Mukurou sighed, Xanxus should have put it there already as a warning, probably left it off just so he could laugh at them when they made the mistake of waking up Tsuna when she was exhausted.
25. Never wake up a sleep deprived Tsuna.

Edit : So I mucked up the chapter ending, I've fixed it now, sorry to everyone for that...don't post stories on Friday night after a few glasses of Rum.
So through mapping out the next few years with ages vs what year of school they were in I've managed to get a bit of a timeline set up, I hope at least. So many years of elementary to play with~ I did start Tsuna a year earlier then i should have though...so she might end up a little younger in middle school.
So many omake's, might have to make them their own chapters xD Just too much to do with all the Tsuna cuteness and power.
I double and triple checked the first half of the chapter, so apologies of typos sneak through on the other half, I blame the rum~ And the fluff, it's not my fault it attacks and demands attention at 2am.
So many amazing people and much love to every single one of you that favorite etc, and definitely over an again to the magical awesome peeps that reviewed, I love each and every one of you~

ArisuKeishin : Both Byakuran and Lambo will turn up, though Lambo's age may change, still deciding on that~ This story is an addiction, hence why it gets updated so much more. I've had to give myself rules so I actually spend time on the other ones, not allowed to update this until I've updated at least one other story xD.
Guest : Sugar high Tsuna is also scary, but different~
Wanderer13 (Guest) : TYL Tsuna I figure would still be super affectionate to her family, hence glomping, especially with Lussuria being her teacher since she was seven. Plus Nana, well, Tsuna would be a ball of fluff and cuddles still, unless you pissed her off.
Sweet Tooth (Guest) : The ages in Reversal aren't completely accurate, it was just the current adults as kids with Tsuna as the adult.
