Tsuna blinked at Byakuran while the child looked around the entrance of the house, it looked just as he remembered it, only thing was, there were a lot more children and the Flames all through the house were much more potent then even when Tsuna had been a teen on other worlds.
Tsuna was still so young but her Flames were incredibly well honed, someone was training her, and doing it well. From his research it was Xanxus, such an amusing scene taking their relationship or lack thereof in other timelines.
"May I?" Nana asked holding out her hands for the baby, Byakuran handing the small child over without further ado, Sawada Nana was the most motherly person he had met in any lifetime, she took on taking care of any child in her vicinity regardless of their history. "Lambo-chan wasn't it?" Byakuran nodded to her while Nana cuddled the small child. "Is he your brother Byakuran-chan?"
"No, he was left in the care of my family by his aunt after his parents died." Byakuran explain while fishing around in his bag. Would it be too impertinent of me to ask to heat up a bottle for Lambo?" Byakuran asked formally while Tsuna tilted her head in confusion at all the big words.
"Imperti-what?" Tsuna blinked before her eyes focused on the bottle in Byakuran's hand, dismissing her confusion instead she took the bottle and trotted into the kitchen to get some water heating in a saucepan. She had seen this before on television so she knew what to do, at least, for the start,. She'd get her mother to help her know when it was ready.
A mother that was currently cuddling and gushing all over Lambo while Byakuran took a seat at the table to watch quietly, trying so very hard to keep back his sniggers, this scene was something he had never imagined, it was quite amusing really.
"...T-Tsu-nee….wh-what...who?" Tsuna looked over at Chrome, the girl peeking in shyly at the snow haired child at the table.
"Ah, Chrome-chan, Byakuran-kun?" the child nodded over at her at the suffix, san would annoy him and the Tsuna was much too polite to use nothing. "Needed a place to stay with Lambo-chan." Tsuna explained
"D-Does….Xanxus know?" Chrome stuttered out, there was no way that Xanxus was just going to let another boy movie into Tsuna's house, he was keeping them all in the mansion bar Fuuta, who didn't count, Basil and very reluctantly on Xanxus' behalf, Fon. (However had anyone mentioned to him that Fon occasionally joined the cuddle pile in Tsuna's bed he would have been locked in a pit in the mansion for the next 40 years.)
"Mammon-nee will tell him." Tsuna assured, Mammon was on watch duty next door today, it wouldn't take long for Xanxus to find out someone had gone into the Sawada house.
As if on cue the front door slammed open just that minute while a glaring tall dark haired teen came striding in all but growling down at Byakuran.
"What the fu-…." Xanxus glanced at Tsuna before growling again, "What is a Gesso doing anywhere near my brat?!"
"Xanxus you woke the baby!" Nana chided while smacking the teen upside the head when Lambo began crying in her arms, Xanxus sending a glare at the woman before blinking down at the small child in her arms.
"Oh hell no, not another one." Xanxus whined glaring at the baby. "No way in hell we're taking in another on-" Xanxus was once again smacked by Nana when his loud voice caused the baby to start crying all over again.
"Hush young man." Nana ordered while Xanxus growled grumpily, Tsuna taking her mother's attention of the teen and over to the stove.
"How do I know it's ready mama?" Nana bounced over to Tsuna and began talking her child over checking the bottle's temperature while Xanxus glowered at Byakuran quietly.
"What are you doing here boy? And how the hell did you know where here is?" Xanxus hissed quietly while Byakuran blinked innocently at Xanxus, even without the Vongola intuition Xanxus could tell the brat was oozing fake innocence.
"I have no idea as to what you mean Xanxus-san~" Byakuran giggled, "It's merely a coincidence. I was here to see Tsu-chan, I didn't know you were here." Because you have never been here before.
"Coincidence, that a Gesso, carrying a Bovino turned up near my brat?" While the Gesso were a small and upcoming famiglia that the Vongola had nothing to do with yet, the Bovino were well known allies of the famiglia, on paper at least. The Bovino and the Vongola had a complicated history, especially of late with the mysterious death of the previous head and subsequent takeover by his brother.
The only survivor of the once head his missing infant son….Xanxus' eyes widened as he looked over at the baby in Nana's arms. "You did not just bring that here?!" Xanxus hissed over at Byakuran, the small child giving him another fake innocent smile. That baby was going to be a trouble magnet if he was the brat Xanxus thought he was.
"No idea what you mean~"
"You manipulative little shi-" a glance at a frowning Tsuna let him know that her superhuman hearing was active again, only working of course when it came to swearing. He was already in debt to the damn swear jar, last thing he needed was Tsuna throwing more things at him on top of that. " Damn brats. Stupid white haired manipulative little psychos." This brat wasn't like the other ones Tsuna had collected, he was like Belphegor, rotten to the core. The last thing Xanxus wanted was this brat living in Tsuna's house.
"You are not staying here." Xanxus ordered while Byakuran pointed over at Lambo. "He can, you can't." There was no way Xanxus would be able to pry the infant away from Nana, whom was all over the baby, however Byakuran was not allowed to stay here, he couldn't kick the white haired brat back to Italy without making things difficult between their famiglia, but there was no way in all of creation that he was leaving the brat in Tsuna's house.
"Okay~" Byakuran chuckled "So protective, daddy Xanxus~"
"Nii-san." Tsuna corrected jumping off her stool while Nana began to feed the baby. "He's my nii-san, not my father." the child trotted over to Xanxus and held her arms up, the teen hefting her up onto his hip, her Flames taking an immediate effect and calming his temper, though that wasn't going to change his mind about the Gesso being here.
"So cute~" Byakuran chuckled while Fuuta came trotting in yawning.
"Mama?" Xanxus let Tsuna down while she went to bring the small child over to the table for breakfast, Fuuta blinking over at the white haired addition.
"Mama being...the young Tsu-hime? How cute." Byakuran giggled, this was all so different and different was interesting, he had been so bored with history repeating itself over and over again, it was nice to find a world where he could see something new. "How did you manage to get your hands on the Ranking Prince?" Byakuran asked quietly to Xanxus on the side while the teen shot a glare at the brat again, he didn't like having a proper Mafia brat anywhere near Tsuna. He still didn't have a proper answer on how Byakuran had found the well kept secret of the Varia.
"He found us. You still never answered how you got here."
"I didn't go looking for the Varia or Vongola if that is what you mean. I had my own sources around the existence of the little Sky, I merely wished to observe." Byakuran carefully explained, he wasn't about to spill everything to the Varia commander, even if he did seem a kitten here opposed to his furious frozen counterparts. "It looked too much fun to miss out on."
"Does the Gesso know where you are and why?" The last thing Xanxus wanted was more Gesso swarming around here, he didn't want any Mafia here but there was no way to make sure Byakuran kept his mouth shut other than to allow him to stay. If Xanxus forced him out of Japan he knew the brat would make his life hell in return.
"Nope, don't worry, I'm happy to keep the little hime a secret as long as I'm allowed access." Xanxus had never wanted to punch a child before as much as he wanted to punch Byakuran right now.
However if he did so in front of Nana he was going to be crucified. So instead he bit back his anger at the clear threat the brat had just given, he would wait until they were back at the mansion, then he was going to punch this brat clear across the room.
"Nana-san." Xanxus interrupted the woman's gushing over the child in her arm. "The baby can stay here, but I'm taking this one to the mansion." Nana blinked over at Xanxus before smiling with a nod, she trusted Xanxus to take care of Byakuran, he had so many children in his care already.
"Okay Xanxus-kun~" Nana sweetly replied before recalling something. "Ah, Xanxus-kun, do you mind getting the crib down from the the spare room and bring it to my room?" Nana asked Tsuna finishing settling Fuuta before grabbing Xanxus hand to lead him upstairs.
"I'll show him mama." Nana waved them out before going back to gushing over the baby, already planning what she needed to get to start taking care of the little one properly.
Nana had always wanted more children, and while she was now swimming in children and most happy, to have a baby to take care of again really made her feel the joy she had felt with Tsuna as a baby all over again. It being almost impossible for her to have another now, considering she wanted nothing to do with Iemitsu until she had time to completely process the news of his infidelity. Let alone how annoyed she was at the way he had trained and taught Basil.
Tsuna tugged Xanxus upstairs and into the one room never used up there, at least not yet, if many more kids came to live with Tsuna they were going to have to convert that from storage to a bedroom.
"...This was your crib?" Xanxus asked one eyebrow cocked up in wonder, the crib wasn't wood like he would have thought, it was made out of Flame resistant and absorbent metals with a clear Vongola crest on it.
"Mmm, Iemitsu bought it apparently." Tsuna shrugged as Xanxus pulled it from the room and began to cart it downstairs, growling lightly when he felt the metal absorbing his Flames. If Xanxus was right this was the Vongola cot, the one his brothers had been in when born, passed down the line. Timoteo had given it to Iemitsu? And the man had used it then tossed it in storage in his house?
"Useless bas….man."
"I don't like touching it." Tsuna frowned at the crib when Xanxus dropped it down finally. "Feels weird."
"It absorbs Flames, it's good for brats born with too many Flames. Who knows brat, maybe you showed promise as a baby brat." Many Sky children showed promise of Flames early on, sometimes it was only while they were upset (that being a lot as an infant, so cradles like these were created) and it calmed down as they grew, some it didn't.
Tsuna's had, though when Xanxus met her they were on the rise again, if he hadn't taken over her tuition Iemitsu would probably have had his way and sealed her Flames, for a civilian they could be deadly.
"Will it be bad for Lambo-chan?" Xanxus shook his head picking Tsuna up and heading back downstairs.
"Nah, it will be good actually. If the kid has Flames they might show up when he's upset, that crib will help keep them down until he's old enough to train." Setting Tsuna down back outside the kitchen he ruffled her hair. "You should stay away from it though."
"Mmm." Tsuna agreed before going to clean up Fuuta's plates, and then the child himself. He still managed to get his food everywhere. With as long as he'd been with them he was still struggling with chopsticks, but refused to use anything else, he wanted to learn to eat with chopsticks like his mama.
"I'm taking this to the mansion." Xanxus said after watching Tsuna clean up Fuuta, grabbing Byakuran by the scruff of his neck. "Lussuria will train you this morning brat, come on." Tsuna nodded while checking Fuuta was alright for the morning, normally Xanxus trained with her on Sunday's, but with the new addition Lussuria would instead take over, which meant she was going to have to try on some weird outfit again. "Chrome, you too." Chrome hurried after them while Nana waved them off brightly still holding onto Lambo.
"Now~ What shall we do today my darlings?" Nana purred looking down at her newest child, Fuuta sighed heavily and went to get his book, Nana got weird when new kids came, this seemed worse than normal, he might do some rankings while she was busy, he had yet to rank the new shampoo and conditioner.
"Fuuta." the child blinked seeing Levi at the window, trotting over he tilted his head at the tall man. "Xanxus wants a ranking." Fuuta brightened at that, he was happy to rank anything for anyone, especially Xanxus, Xanxus took care of his mama.
"Mmm, what?"
"Biggest threats to the Principessa."
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Xanxus growled lightly when Squalo held out his phone, he had been avoiding the call from the Vongola all day, but it seems Squalo wasn't letting him avoid it any longer. He had put in the report about the newest child in the mansion a few hours ago, and been hounded by phone calls since.
"I don't want to." Xanxus grumbled while Squalo just shoved the phone into his hands and stormed out angrily, whenever Xanxus misbehaved the Vongola always harassed him, and that annoyed the hell out of the silver haired teen. "...What?"
"Xanxus, this isn't the time to be avoiding communication." Timoteo sighed heavily. "Especially after a report like that. I contacted the Gesso and a tentative alliance has been suggested, it seems they don't know why their heir is there, but since he's chosen to interact with the Vongola they're willing to come to the table."
"The brat threatened to talk about Tsuna if we don't allow him-"
"I read the report." Timoteo interrupted, "I know, and I know you hate people that threaten anything let alone Tsuna, but he is right. Unless you know a way to totally silence him without starting a war we need to allow him access to Tsuna."
"I got the ranking brat to do a ranking." Xanxus pulled the paper out and frowned down at it. "Biggest threats to the brat, the white haired little snot isn't on the list."
"I'm assuming that is why you haven't tried to silence him?" Timoteo chuckled while Xanxus tossed the list onto his desk.
"We did rankings until he turned up on them. Unlikely Allies, number one, Attracts Danger, number two, after the brat herself. Ranked third out of most annoying and finally number one out of strongest of the brats, above even Tsuna."
"He's a Sky, is he not?"
"Yeah, and trained since birth I don't doubt. A strong one too, the brat is getting strong but this one is apparently even stronger. And I don't like it."
"You never like them when they arrive." Timoteo chuckled, with every new child Xanxus hated them and was never going to warm up to them, and every time he succumbed, mostly by Tsuna's influence.
"Yes but this one is a proper Mafia brat, he's not like even the Storm brat you made me take, this one is dangerous."
"Yet no threat to Tsuna, the Ranking Prince said so in a proper ranking after having met the child. I know you worry Xanxus, but you've done as much as you can in preparation, the boy will be staying there until he's no longer interested in Tsuna, I have some information from his famiglia, apparently he's easily bored and goes from one thing to another, while they don't expect him to be long in Japan they're still taking the chance to broach an alliance."
"They're using him?"
"They're that sort of famiglia, though if the young Byakuran is a strong as you think then it would be good to have Tsuna's influence on him."
"We do not need any more brats, the mansion is full up, we can't take in any more, I swear. Next brat to turn up I'm going to kick back where they came from." Timoteo could only laugh to himself at that, he said that now, but as soon as Tsuna gave him that look he was going to give in.
"Just keep an eye on things, as you always do." Xanxus didn't answer, just hung up and shattered Squalo's mobile on the wall with a smirk, teach the silver haired sword twit to force him to take calls.
"Levi!" the teen immediately knelt before him having been hovering in the doorway, "Keep an eye on this brat, he steps an inch out of line, take his head."
"Of course." Levi promised bowing out of the room to go watch the white haired new addition. He's also given Mukurou and his brats the warning about the new kid, though Mukurou had picked up on it immediately that this kid was not like the rest.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Kyoya was not happy, not at all, once again he gets a notification of yet another brat circling the little animal he had taken to, another one, there were too many crowding around the little animal, it was infuriating. Let alone when he was notified that this one also wanted to join the school in Tsuna's class.
They were going to have to start taking students out of the class to fit all the brats Tsuna kept collecting, but even Xanxus had reluctantly told him they needed to do as told with this brat.
Kyoya however was itching to have a match with the new one, from the way he carried himself to the way Xanxus disliked him, he had to be a challenge, and Kyoya did love a challenge.
"Bring the new student here." Kyoya ordered while his second in command, Tetsuya, bowed to him silently before heading to find the new white haired student.
Kyoya instantly disliked this new one, the knowing condescending smirk he had on his lips just instantly annoyed him, something about this new one just really rubbed him the wrong way. It might have been that the smirk he had on reminded him of Mukurou. Kyoya didn't want this one near the small animal, but he got no say apparently.
"You are too old to be in the small animals class." That was the first thing he noticed, this new one was older then Tsuna, there were enough students in her class that were older then Tsuna, but this time he was putting his foot down. This white haired new annoyance was too old to be in Tsuna's class, and that was that.
"Well….I didn't want to have to do this~ But since I now own this school, I say it's fine~" Since he what? Kyoya glared over at the smiling brat while grabbing out the mobile phone Xanxus had provided all of those crowding Tsuna with and called his father, the Hibari owned this school.
"Kyoya? Is this about the school?"
"Hn." Kyoya grunted in response glaring over at the grinning Byakuran.
"I was bought out Kyoya, I had little say in it by the way. It's not like I wanted to let a Mafia organisation take over the primary school in my home town. What is done is done, the school belongs to the a group called the Gesso. The heir is apparently there."
"Demanding to be put in the small animals class." Kyoya growled hanging up, the old man would be no use to him. Kyoya did not like to be ordered and this brat was making sure he ticked off every last nerve Kyoya had. Slowly a smirk slid over his lips, glaring over at the white haired child. "You can be in her class herbivore, if you can beat me." there was no way some brat was going to be able to beat him, the only challenge out of the children was Mukurou, what were the odds of this one being better then the illusion using brat? And possibly Tsuna, but he still hadn't been able to have a proper fight with her.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Tsuna blinked in surprise when Byakuran turned up at their class grinning, he had been pulled out by Tetsuya and Tsuna had a feeling that it meant Kyoya wouldn't let him be in her class, the class was getting rather full, but he had come back, not too long after having been pulled out.
"Now~ Where was my seat senesi~"
"U-uh. Oh….well-" the teacher glanced around, there were no spare seats, they kept getting all the transfers.
"That student, transfer to the next class." a voice ordered, Kyoya appearing from behind Byakuran looking livid and bruised, he had lost the fight, not just that he hadn't been able to lay a hand on the white haired bastard.
"Y-Yes Hibari-sama." the student sitting behind Tsuna all but screeched running out of the room, Tsuna tilting her head in question to Kyoya but he just growled and slunk out of the classroom to go lick his wounds in the Disciplinary Committees office.
Byakuran headed for his new spot and grinned back at the startled looking teacher "Shall we begin sensei~?"
"Y-Yes."
It was only an hour later that Tetsuya returned to the class, this time asking Tsuna to follow him instead of Byakuran, the teacher of course allowing the disciplinary committee full access to the student council president.
"Is Kyoya-nii okay?" Tsuna asked hurrying after Tetsuya, the young second in command sending her a polite smile.
"He's alright Kaicho, he just wants to speak with you." Tetsuya opened the door for her letting the small student council president into the room before closing the door behind her to let Kyoya speak to his small animal.
"The white haired one, is he staying long?" Tsuna tilted her head at Kyoya before shrugging, she had no idea how long he was going to stay, she had learnt from him that he had no problems with his family, he just wanted to be around, plus it was his responsibility to keep an eye on Lambo.
"I don't know. Nii-san said he's going to stay until he's bored." Kyoya sighed heavily, while that did somewhat excite him to have another challenge around, he still didn't like the white haired brat near Tsuna.
"He's dangerous." Kyoya growled tearing up his student file just because he could, "And strong. Has he tried to touch you?" Tsuna nodded with a smile, not realising the danger in doing so.
"Mmm, he likes to hug." Kyoya really had trouble from stopping his eye twitching at the innocent little girl. Even though she was getting so much more perceptive she was still completely stupid when it came to some things.
"Whatever. Either way I'm putting some people on the door for the class, any arguments or fights that break out and I will be coming down there personally." Tsuna nodded quietly, she didn't understand why everyone was so worried about Byakuran, he wasn't any danger, at least her intuition said so, and so far that had never been wrong.
"Okay. Mukurou-nii was told by nii-san to watch him too." That put Kyoya at ease, while quite possible that Mukurou was no threat to the brat either considering their normal fights, however his illusions might be able to trick the brat long enough to get Tsuna away from him if something dangerous happened.
"Go back to class little animal." Tsuna nodded with a bow before trotting out of the room with a bright smile to Tetsuya before heading back to class, the class that was more than half her family now. Soon there would be no normal students left.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
It took all of five minutes after Tsuna got to her office before Byakuran barrelled through the door, Mukurou and Hayato immediately went to remove the kid, Byakuran just giggled and dodged around them to come sit on Tsuna's desk.
"I'm here to sign up Tsu-hime~" Tsuna glanced around the room, she didn't know if there were any more jobs for the student council, she had all the help she needed and really didn't know what else to give Byakuran to do.
"Ummm…."
"No room get lost." Hayato hissed while Tsuna sighed over at her silver haired friend, he really didn't like new people, at least Mukurou was being polite, if only by the order of Xanxus. Xanxus had said something about a war that Tsuna didn't understand but since last night he was being really polite to Byakuran in a way that was really irking her. It was very….fake.
"Sadly the little puppy is right Byakuran, we have no more posts free so you don't have a place here, go home and wait like a good little boy." Byakuran just grinned over at Mukurou, he knew well that there were no places left, that however wasn't going to stop him.
"I know, so I've made one. Tsu-hime, how does Special Advisor sound?"
"What does it do?" Tsuna asked confused, what could such a role mean? Tsuna had no idea, though she did know that all her friends and family in the room were annoyed at this new one, but Tsuna didn't feel like anyone needed to be like that to him. He was nice, a bit sarcastic but that was hardly anything to get mad at, Mukurou was often sarcastic, but so far everyone was grumpy at Byakuran. Maybe it had something to do with him having a complicated past. If Tsuna had picked up on anything it was that Byakuran had a very complicated past, anything he said was honest, yet also completely layered with other meaning.
"It does nothing, but means I can hang out with my favorite little Sky after school~" Mukurou dreaded Tsuna's answer, she was much too kind, she was the type to tell him yes just because she cared about everyone. Even white haired Mafia brats.
"Umm…" Tsuna frowned in thought, she knew that her friends didn't want her to say yes, but maybe if he joined the council they would get to know him better and not be so grumpy. "Okay, but only until we find a real spot for you." Byakuran's grin couldn't get any larger while he glomped onto Tsuna, Mukurou and Hayato both heading in to remove him.
"You may have a title, but you don't have a job, so don't disturb Tsu-hime while she does hers." Mukurou growled at him tugging the white haired child away from Tsuna. Tsuna had enough work to do without Byakuran messing up all the papers she was trying to work through and distracting her so this would take even longer.
"You're no fun Muku-chan." Byakuran pouted before slipping into a free seat and watching them all for a few minutes, he was losing interest in watching very fast, he needed to make this more interesting.
Brightening the child bounced over to the small kitchenette and began to make some hot drinks, if the list at the mansion was anything to go by, this should make things much more fun.
Add enough sugar to coffee and that doubled the fun, so Byakuran carefully made his little concoction and delivered it to Tsuna while Mukurou's back was turned.
"Ah, thank you." Tsuna blinked down at the drink before smiling brightly at Byakuran, how very nice of him to do that. Sipping at her drink Tsuna made a face, it was super sweet, but she didn't want to be rude, Byakuran had gone out of his way to be nice and make her a drink.
"Tsu-hime? What is….oh hell no." Mukurou strode over to grab the drink away from her but it was too late, Tsuna had chugged it and set it aside. "What did you just feed the hime?" Mukurou growled grabbing Byakuran by his shirt while Byakuran just pointed behind him. Glancing back Mukurou groaned, sugar definitely, and coffee too, though it did mean her paperwork was being done super fast. Her pen was moving ridiculously fast over the pages as they began to pile up on the other side.
"Damn, Hayato call Xanxus, he's dealt with sugar high and caffeinated Tsuna before." Hayato nodded quickly grabbing out his mobile, only a few of them had experienced Tsuna like this, it was best to get the most equipped to deal with it.
"Why the fuck was she given coffee and sugar?" The entire room could hear Xanxus yell through the phone, Tsuna shooting a quick glare over to Hayato that made him squeal in terror, she looked scary like this.
"Less complaining more getting over here." Mukurou growled grabbing the phone off Hayato. "And no swearing."
"Well….this certainly is interesting." Byakuran giggled as the paper on Tsuna's desk ran out, now, what would happen when she no longer had something to focus that energy on.
"Chrome." the girl jumped to attention when Mukurou called, "Get water, Tsu-hime will need it once she's off the high." Chrome nodded and hurried out to the vending machine to get some bottled water for Tsuna. Mukurou sighed heavily looking over at Tsuna while the girl bounced in her seat, thankfully the window slammed open as Xanxus landed glaring at Byakuran, if he had to guess which brat gave Tsuna coffee it would have been him, no one else would break one of the Tsuna rules.
"Oops?" Byakuran asked completely without any remorse, it was interesting to see the reactions, this idea hadn't let him down at all.
"Nii-san!" Xanxus grunted when Tsuna came flying at him and just about knocked him over babbling a mile a minute while hugging him tight.
"I'm taking the brat to the mansion to train, you and I will have a talk later." Xanxus growled over at Byakuran, as much as he wanted to have a chat now it was best to get Tsuna somewhere she could run the energy off before she crashed.
"X-Xanxus." Chrome arrived back and held out the water, the tall man grabbing the two bottles and storing them in his pocket before shuffling the babbling Tsuna in his arms so he had access to at least one of his guns and flying back out towards the mansion.
"You're dead once he gets a hold of you." Hayato smirked over at Byakuran whom just grinned back in return.
"I doubt it, though if he does, it was worth it~ Little hime really has no resilience to sugar and coffee does she." Byakuran found this all hilarious, the Tsuna he remembered, at least the boss Tsuna he remembered was a terrifying creature to behold without her morning coffee, to go so mental on one cup of coffee was rather amusing.
"The Tsuna rules are there for a reason." Mukurou growled over at the brat, "You broke two, that means training time with Xanxus, he's not lenient on rule breakers. Especially Tsuna rules."
"Sounds like fun~ Now, if there's nothing else interesting here I'll be heading back to the mansion~" things were just boring without Tsuna here, he was going to watch her training session then see if Xanxus was really going to try and punish him in a training session. He had never gone head to head with Xanxus before, it sounded like fun.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Tsuyoshi had gotten a call from Nana, a call to get some help with cooking tonight. While he was confused as to why the amazing cook needed his help he wasn't about to say no to the lovely woman. So here he was letting himself into the Sawada house to a strange sight.
While he was used to seeing all the children now, to see Nana cuddling an infant was new.
"Nana-san?"
"Ah Tsuyoshi-san, thank you for coming. This little one is a tad clingy today would it be at all trouble to you if I asked you to help me cook?" Tsuyoshi just nodded his eyes on the baby, the child didn't look like one of her's, there didn't seem to be any Japanese in him, so another child was brought to Nana and Tsuna? This was the first he heard of it.
"A young one brought him with him, Xanxus-kun took the older one to stay at the mansion, but this little one is in my care for now. Tsuyoshi-san meet Lambo-chan." Tsuyoshi didn't deny he did go into baby mode for a moment there as he greeted the baby with all sorts of nonsense words.
"I miss Takeshi being a baby sometimes." Tsuyoshi sighed as he finally stopped going gaga over the baby and got to what he was here for and began to help Nana with the cooking.
"I know, I love Tsu-chan, but I do wish sometimes she stayed the cute little baby she was." Nana giggled while hugging the fussy baby. He'd been crying every time she put him down so she was stuck with one arm out of commission to hold onto Lambo.
"What's the new one like?" Tsuyoshi asked curiously, he doubted they would be a normal child if they turned up here, so far none of them had been, let alone a child carrying a baby.
"Hmm, he's cute, he likes to hug Tsu-chan. Gesso Byakuran I believe it was. This little one was left in the care of his family." Nana hummed while getting a bottle ready for Lambo, maybe he would finally settle and sleep if she did.
Tsuyoshi had to resist the urge to flinch, a Gesso? He had heard of them recently, and none of it was good. For one of them to be here, did that mean the famiglia was making a move against the Vongola? He would need to talk to Xanxus later. Though he doubted Xanxus hadn't already done everything possible to get rid of the kid, a proper Mafia brat around Tsuna and his son, that was dangerous.
"He's a very affectionate little boy. He started school with them today, oh, reminds me I need to get another bento for Byakuran." Nana mused adding bento to her mental list, the list was never ending now days, between feeding all the children and now taking care of a baby, she was going to be busy for the next few years. Which was good in her mind, it gave her time but also enough distractions to think over and deal with the matter of Iemitsu.
"Well, call me anytime you need a hand, I've only got Takeshi at home to feed, and he would enjoy being over here to be social, so I'm at your disposal anytime you need me Nana-san." Tsuyoshi promised, Takeshi whined some nights that it was just them when Tsuna got to have these huge meals with all her family and friends, he wanted to join in more.
"I'll be sure to call you then." Nana smiled, it was nice having another adult around too, especially if he was happy to help with the cooking, that had always been Nana's job. Not to say that she didn't love it, but there was the occasional night she would like a night off, thankfully Xanxus helped with that too. Always only too happy to take Tsuna for the night for dinner and a sleepover at the mansion.
"How about, as a bare minimum, once a week, you, Tsuna and the kids come to Takesushi, I'll make you dinner." Tsuyoshi offered with a smile Nana's eyes tearing up as she looked at the kind man, no wonder her sister had fallen in love with him, Tsuyoshi was a very caring and kind individual.
"You know I think I see why Mana loved you." Nana sniffled quickly wiping away the threatening tears, "I would love to have the help." Tsuyoshi nodded with a bright grin, once a week on a regular basis was the very least he could do.
"I am still at your disposal the rest of the week of course, but how about on Sunday's after the baseball games during the season and for lunch or dinner in the off season, you all come to Takesushi."
"Are you sure? They eat a lot, you might be eaten out of house and home in a day." Tsuyoshi chuckled, he would send Xanxus and the Vongola a bill.
"It will be fine~" the phone pealing out interrupted them, Nana heading over to the phone while Tsuyoshi got back to cooking, the kids would be home any time once the council duties were over and they would most likely be hungry.
"Oh, Xanxus-kun….alright, thank you." Nana sighed heading back into the kitchen to get Lambo's now warm bottle. "Tsu-chan is with Xanxus at the mansion, apparently she had too much sugar at school and has fallen asleep. Xanxus said he'd bring her back in an hour or so. That should be when the other kids get here, now...shall we cook~" Tsuyoshi grinned with a nod and threw himself into cooking.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Xanxus sighed in relief sitting down finally, Tsuna had been running laps with him for the last half hour before crashing, finally the sugar high had worn off. He was going to have a very serious discussion with the white haired brat later, the rules were there for a reason.
"She out?" Squalo asked peeking out, they had been in hiding until Xanxus got her calmed down, Levi had sworn when told Tsuna had taken sugar and coffee and well, they didn't want the rest of the mansion ending up in Flames. Letting Xanxus deal with her while keeping out of sight and earshot.
"Like a light." Xanxus sighed looking down at the child fast asleep in his lap, "Just checking, but you made sure the little brat saw the list right?" Squalo nodded, first thing he had done was let the kid know what not to do, seems he took that as a let's try what we can off the list to see what happens.
"Little shit." Xanxus glared down at Tsuna when she kicked his shin in her sleep, even asleep she still knew if he swore.
"What you gonna do about him?"
"Not much I can do, I'll drag him into a training session, the rules stated the punishment. Hopefully that knocks him down a peg or two for a while." Xanxus actually somewhat wanted to have a go with this kid anyway, since he was apparently the strongest out of the brats in Japan, he was curious as to how powerful that was compared to him. Plus, maybe it would bruise the brats ego to get punched out by Xanxus.
Scooping Tsuna into his arms Xanxus headed inside to call Nana about the little girl, she was going to be a tad later home since he wanted to let her sleep for a little while. Settling her into his bed he headed out to call Nana and let Tsuna sleep, not seeing however when a white haired brat snuck into the room behind him and headed to snuggle in bed with Tsuna.
Jumping into the bed Byakuran chuckled quietly before snuggling down under the sheets, while this would infuriate Xanxus it was probably the only chance he'd get to snuggle with the tiny little Sky, and that sounded like fun.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
"I'll fucking kill you?!" Byakuran yawned blinking over at the door of the room where a livid Xanxus was standing, who then promptly got hit in the face with a shoe from a similarly yawning Tsuna blinking blearily over at her big brother.
"Bad word." Tsuna mumbled rubbing at her eyes as Byakuran began to cackle again, this really was too fun.
"Forget that brat, why the fudge is that little sh-brat in bed with you?!" Tsuna blinked sleepily over at Byakuran, the white haired child just shrugged at her while Tsuna yawned again shrugging herself.
"I was sleepy~" Byakuran giggled "And the bed just looked so comfy~"
"Nii-san's bed is really comfy." Tsuna agreed with a bright smile over to the fuming Xanxus.
"Brat get up and get your damn shoe on, we're taking you home. You-" Xanxus growled at Byakuran, "Are not coming." Byakuran pouted back at him in response but it was true he had pushed the limits a tad today, it was best he let it go for now otherwise not even the new alliance between their famiglia would stop Xanxus trying to kill him. Sadly this was the limit for how much trouble he could get himself into for the day, for now.
Tsuna slid out of the bed and trotted over to Xanxus to grab her shoe, waving goodbye to Byakuran while Xanxus scooped her up into his hold and stormed out of his room growling all the way.
"Nii-san, why do none of you like Byakuran-kun?" Tsuna asked while he carried her out of the mansion and tossed her into the car.
"What's to like? He's a brat that keeps breaking the rules." Tsuna frowned in thought about that while trying to come up with an answer. Tsuna really did like the rules, she was the first to enforce them, especially when it came to swearing.
"Hmm...what rule did he break?" Tsuna asked, Xanxus freezing at that, she didn't know about the Tsuna rules.
"Uh…" Xanxus had to admit he floundered for a few seconds, "We have sugar limits per day." he finally came up with, without telling her they had a full list of the Tsuna rules, plus the few others. "Too much sugar is bad for you, especially you."
"Oh...the running around?"
"Among other things, yes." Xanxus sighed, the sugar high could be his excuse for now. "We made it clear to Byakuran that there were limits on sugar intake per day. Then he goes and feeds you not just sugar but coffee."
"Want me to talk to him about it?" Xanxus chuckled at that, Tsuna might well be able to stop him doing it again if this new brat was as attached as he was pretending he was, but he still wanted to have his training sessions with the little shit.
"Nah, I got it."
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Tsuna yawned while rubbing at her eyes looking over at the window while the tapping continued. Slipping out of bed she stumbled past the sleeping Chrome to open the window and blink out at a white haired child sitting in the tree outside her window.
"Byakuran-kun?" Tsuna asked softly trying not to wake Fuuta and Chrome still sleeping in her bed.
"Well hello there little hime~"
"Are you okay? It's-" Tsuna glanced at her clock "2 In the morning." Byakuran just grinned at her while Tsuna tilted her head in response, that wasn't really an answer.
"Just wanted to talk~ We haven't had any time alone to do that yet~" Tsuna yawned again before glancing back at the sleeping kids, climbing out her window she jumped down the one storey to the small garden they had, Byakuran jumped after her and they sat on the small decking while Tsuna stifled another yawn.
"What did you want to talk about?" Tsuna asked while Byakuran looked up at the night sky.
"Hmm, well how about you tell me how you got all these friends~?"
"Hmmm….I guess it started when Iemitsu took mama and me to Italy." Byakuran settled himself down and listened to the small Sky, he had been beyond curious as to how this all came about, his information was spotty at best on the true happenings. How exactly did this world turn out to be completely different from any other?
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Chrome panicked when she woke in the morning, looking around it was just her and Fuuta, Tsuna never left them here alone, always the first up and waking them before she left them, Fuuta was going to freak out when he woke up.
Chrome quickly checked Tsuna's small child was still asleep before she quietly padded out of the room to see if she could hunt down Tsuna before the child woke. Her first instinct was to call Xanxus immediately and ask for help, but she hadn't even checked the house yet, she needed to do that first.
"Chrome-chan, are you alright?" Chrome flinched looking up at Nana before she shook her head tears welling. "T-Tsu-nee is missing." Nana smiled gently down at the girl before petting her head gently.
"It's okay dear, she's asleep in the lounge room with Byakuran-kun." that startled Chrome, Byakuran was meant to be at the mansion with all the other boys, one what was he doing here, two why was he asleep with Tsuna. Chrome really felt like she had to call Xanxus now and snuck back to the bedroom quietly to call said male about the startling morning.
"That little bastard." Xanxus hissed across the line once Chrome did her report, she could hear things crashing around Xanxus as he pushed past anyone that might be in his way to get to the house.
"Don't wake the little shit, I'll be there soon." Chrome nodded quietly, not even caring that he wouldn't be able to see it, he wouldn't be listening right now anyway in complete protect Tsuna mode.
Chrome closed her phone and went to get Fuuta up, it was better she wake him now then he wake to no Tsuna and no Chrome.
"Mama?" Chrome smiled at the little boy while sitting him up.
"Mama's downstairs, come on Fuuta-chan." the boy slid out of the bed and trotted after Chrome while she led him downstairs, tugging the boy out of the way when Xanxus went striding past with Byakuran by the ear.
"Mama?" Tsuna yawned and hugged Fuuta while tugging him into the kitchen for breakfast and settling him at the table.
"Byakuran-kun wanted to talk." Tsuna yawned again nodding off for a moment at the table until her head hit the table and woke her up. "Made me talk all night."
"Mama tired?" Fuuta asked while looking at the teapot, Nana said tea was good for waking up. Reaching for the heavy pot he blinked in surprise when Nana picked it up before him.
"Too heavy and hot little one, nonna will do that for you. You wanted some tea for your mama right?" Fuuta nodded with a bright smile while Nana made Tsuna some tea.
"Thank you Fuuta~" Tsuna giggled rubbing the last of the sleep away before giving the child a hug. Sipping at her tea while the loud cries of Lambo broke the peace. Basil hurrying down the stairs with a squalling baby in his arms.
"What do I do mama?" Nana giggled and headed over to take the child off the young boy while Tsuna headed for the stove to heat up a bottle.
"Wh-When did Basil-san start calling mama mama?" Chrome whispered to Tsuna while the girl grinned over at Chrome with a quiet finger to her lips, they didn't want to make a deal out of it otherwise they worried he might stop. It had taken long enough to get him to start referring to them without dono's or san's, last thing Tsuna wanted was to scare him back into it by making a deal out of the change of reference.
Taking the bottle from the heat Tsuna hopped down and handed the bottle to Nana before heading to clean Fuuta up.
"Can I help you Tsu-hime?" Basil asked moving to help her clean up Fuuta while Tsuna sent him a bright smile and nodded letting him take over.
"I'll start the lunches. Thank you Basil-nii." Basil proceeded to help clean up Fuuta while Tsuna started cooking the lunches and Nana carried Lambo around the kitchen with the bottle while making noises at the infant.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Xanxus didn't have the patience to drag the brat home, instead he took him next door and just about kicked him through the door with a growl.
"What the fuck were you doing with my brat? Alone? At night?!"
"Oh come on Xanxus, she's eight~" Byakuran chuckled, "Just what do you think we were doing~?" Byakuran did note the twitch coming on in the Varia commanders eye, this was all just too fun.
"I don't give a shit what you were or most certainly were not doing, you do not come into contact with my brat without permission and at least one Varia member present." Byakuran pouted up at Xanxus but the Sky user was not taking it at all from this little shit, he had gone out of the way to break all the rules and annoy him personally.
"Sorry Xanxus-nii~" That sent a shiver of disgust down Xanxus' spine, there was something he never wanted to hear again. "Kun~?" Byakuran asked while holding back his giggle, he was really pushing it right now and he knew it, but he was fairly sure this at least he could get away with without the teen losing it completely, he wouldn't do anything to destroy the alliance the Vongola had recently come to with the Gesso, less than 24 hours, it would look pretty bad if he did more than train with Byakuran. A training session that had been a real eye opener to Byakuran. In the future he recalled Xanxus had been easy to goad and while powerful he was still quite basic with his Flame manipulation. It looks like here it wasn't only Tsuna getting some advanced training early. "I just wanted to talk to her, you've got Mukurou-kun watching me at school, Kyoya-kun is stalking me and she lives with so many people. I just wanted to talk to her~"
"I don't give a shit if you wanted to talk to her, you damn well ask!"
"Boss?"
"What Mammon!" Xanxus snarled while the pint sized illusionist tossed him her phone, Tsuna had sent Mammon a text to tell Xanxus to stop swearing.
"How the fuck-" The phone pinged at him again the words barely out of his mouth Nii-san! "Does she know this stuff."
"I find it adorable really." Byakuran giggled settling himself onto the couch, "All this because you met her when she was a child~"
"What is that supposed to mean?" Byakuran shrugged over at Xanxus, it wasn't like he'd believe him even if he had wanted to tell him, it was much more simple to just brush over things like that. He was just an innocent little ten year old, what did he know what could very well have happened to Tsuna had she not gotten lost that one day she wasn't meant to. Had she not had her Flames repressed and locked away inside her ruining her childhood and making her the proper complete dame-Tsuna loser with no friends, no self confidence and no training.
"You can't fault me for finding her intriguing?~" Byakuran chuckled, "You do too~ Such an adorable pure little Sky with such amazing magnetism~ And so well tuned to your Flames~"
"What the fudge do you know about that huh brat?"
"Only what Tsu-hime told me~ Can she really touch your Flames?" Xanxus just glared at him in response. Like hell he was answering anything this little brat would come up with, Tsuna was his brat, and anything that happened was between them.
"None of your damn business brat. Levi-" It took all of two seconds for Levi to arrive and kneel before his boss. "Take this little brat back to the mansion, he is not to leave Mukurou's sight from now on without being subjected to the worst illusions he has access to."
"That sounds like fun~" Byakuran giggled, he would be happy to see the worst this little Mammon trained Mukurou had, he was pretty sure that Mukurou was more powerful than little Kyoya, to be put face to face to Mukurou would be just as much fun as to sneaking out to play with Tsuna~
Levi grabbed Byakuran by the shoulder and dragged him out of the small house to take him back to the mansion, Xanxus letting out a deep sigh while rubbing at his temples, he was getting an enormous headache thanks to the white haired Mafia brat, all he could do was hope the brat got bored soon.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
"Mukurou." the illusionist took one look over at the grinning Byakuran held by Levi before sighing, looks like the brat had snuck out, probably to go bug Tsuna. "The boss said you have to watch him full time now. He doesn't leave your sight." Mukurou nodded while narrowing his eyes over at the Mafia brat.
"I'm all yours Mukurou-nii~" grinning at Mukurou when a trident materialised in his hands. "Oh sorry~ Mukurou-chan?" the child began advancing on him, and out of the corner of his eye Byakuran could see both Chikusa and Ken coming from other directions to stop any escape route and help Mukurou with this annoyingly powerful brat. "Mukurou-kun?" Mukurou was still glaring at him but his trident disappeared, both Chikusa and Ken instead heading past Byakuran to the table to eat breakfast.
It would seem that Xanxus had picked the right combination to watch him, Ken and Chikusa would do whatever Mukurou said and seem able to co-ordinate with him in battle, it was quite interesting as the Mukurou he had known was a solo act, and while this Mukurou wasn't quite his equal he made up for it with numbers. Byakuran might actually have to behave for a while.
"So~ I slept with Tsu-hime last night~" As soon as they sat down for breakfast he decided to break the news to them. The reaction was instant as the trident was back and slashing at him while bombs came his way from Hayato, the child snarling at him while Chikusa and Ken moved to block any escape. Byakuran couldn't help the giggle that escaped his lips while he dodged the bombs and trident coming his way. "Quite the cuddler isn't she~"
That got Chikusa angry it would seem, Byakuran didn't know a lot about the two sidekicks but what he knew about Chikusa was that he wasn't the most emotional type. To see him angry, well that was interesting….then again from the way he was wielding those yo-yo's maybe Chikusa mad was not such a good thing.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Tsuna wasn't used to Mukurou and company not coming to meet her at home, Xanxus said they were just running late and instead walked her to school along with Basil and Chrome, Xanxus carrying the many bentos to meet the brats at school when they finished cleaning up after their fight with Byakuran.
So here they were, Tsuna with only two of her brothers and Chrome heading to school. Tsuna waved to Kyoya as they went through the gate, the child just sending a glare towards Xanxus while pushing Tsuna and company towards class.
"How long is that thing staying here?"
"Too long." Xanxus growled over at the dark haired child. "My hands are tied about kicking him back where he came from. The illusion brat is on duty to stop the little bastard from doing anything else to Tsuna."
"...What did he do to the small animal?" Xanxus watched his small child disappear into the school building before looking over at the grumpy Cloud.
"Fed her both coffee and sugar-" Kyoya blinked before internally kicking himself, why did he never think of that as to starting a fight with Tsuna for once, it probably had a higher success chance then his failed attempt at making sleep deprived Tsuna. "And slipping out of the mansion to go bug the brat at 2am then proceeding to cuddle my brat and sleep at the Sawada house."
"...Was he punished?" If Xanxus didn't kick the little bastards ass then Kyoya was going to have to do the unthinkable and team up with Mukurou to do it themselves.
"For the coffee and the sugar yes. The other incident will be dealt with after school."
"Xanxus-san!" the pair glanced back at the arriving horde of children, Mukurou poking Byakuran forwards with his trident ignoring the strange looks he was getting from the student population. Hayato bounced up to Xanxus while Mukurou poked Byakuran into the school backed by Ken and Chikusa. "I can set up bombs around kaicho's house to stop another incident." Chikusa and he had talked about it, well he had talked, Chikusa had nodded. They could set up some sort of defensive ring around Tsuna's house to hopefully catch people sneaking up to her house at 2am from getting to her.
"Co-ordinate with Levi." Hayato nodded with a bright smile and ran into the school to help on the keep Byakuran away from Tsuna defence force.
"I have some of the committee members on her classroom door to keep an eye on things as well. The little animal will be safe here." Xanxus nodded to the Cloud before reluctantly heading back to the mansion, while he would prefer to stay it would just make the entire school nervous with him standing outside the gates glaring at everyone.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Mukurou was standing beside Tsuna's desk in her office while she worked, his dual coloured eyes locked on a pouting Byakuran who wasn't allowed near the small student council president today, they had been running interference any time Byakuran opened his mouth or twitched towards Tsuna.
Pouted Byakuran sighed heavily before a small beep drew his attention, looking down to his phone a grin slid over his lips, his first delivery was here~
As soon as Byakuran stood Mukurou motioned to Hayato the puppy nodding and following after the white haired child, Mukurou trusted Byakuran as far as he could throw him, if he was leaving Tsuna's presence he was up to something, of that Mukurou had no doubt.
"Mukurou-nii. Why do all of you dislike Byakuran-kun?" Mukurou sighed with another glare at the door Byakuran had just left through.
"What's to like?" Mukurou grumbled while pulling up a seat to sit with Tsuna, her paperwork forgotten while she blinked at him with wide eyes her head tilted in question. "He doesn't follow the rules, he keep harassing you while you're trying to work and he's all around annoying."
"You always think they're annoying when they first get here though." Tsuna sighed, every time a new kid arrived he got grumpy for a while, but this time he seemed grumpier than normal. "While I don't think it's good that he keeps breaking rules he's not that annoying." He had sat and listened to her ramble all night about how she had met everyone and actually seemed very interested, he hadn't gotten bored or nodded off once.
"He really is Tsu-hime, you're just too nice to see it." Mukurou chuckled petting her hair while Tsuna pouted at him trying to sooth her unruly brown hair down, why did everyone always attack her hair?
"Tsu-hime~!" Tsuna squeaked in surprise when she was glomped from behind, Byakuran had come through the window instead of the door and was currently hugging her tight while Mukurou tried to drag him off her. "I brought you something nice~" Tsuna blinked down at her desk when a plastic packet fell across her paperwork a collection of something's very fluffy looking spilling out.
"What is it?" Tsuna asked while Mukurou shrugged, he'd never seen something like them, but he wasn't a big eater of sweets, and he was pretty sure if Byakuran was giving it to Tsuna then it was a sweet of some sort.
"Try one~"
"No." Mukurou growled while Byakuran pouted over at him.
"Just one, what harm could one single marshmallow do?" Mukurou glared over at Byakuran, for all he knew a lot, who knew how much sugar was in these things. However he couldn't exactly slap it out of Tsuna's hands.
"I think we should ask Xanxus about them before trying them Tsu-hime." Mukurou could only try convince her not to have them, something that he doubted would work because she was sitting there poking one of them.
"They're so soft." Tsuna giggled before popping one into her mouth, Mukurou could only groan while Tsuna enjoyed her little treat, what he could do however was sweep the rest of them into the bag and shove it into Byakuran's hands, like hell she was having any more.
"You should try one Mukurou-nii, they're really soft and sweet."
"No more though Tsu-hime." Mukurou sighed as he ruffled her hair again, the girl pouting at him once more while trying to fight her hair down. "You. Don't feed Tsu-hime weird things." Mukurou growled over at Byakuran while the child popped marshmallow after marshmallow into his mouth.
"Thank you for the sweet Byakuran-kun….butIshouldn'thaveanymorebecauseI'mgettingallbouncyandnii-sansaidthat'snotgoodforme."
"Oh damn." Mukurou grumbled nodding over to Chrome as the girl called Xanxus, again, second day in a row Byakuran put Tsuna on a sugar high.
"Oh dear….I didn't think one would do that. Poor little Tsu really has no resistance to sugar." Byakuran really hadn't meant for her to go on another high, if Xanxus knew she had problems with sugar why wasn't he building up her resistance? "Can't say I agree with Xanxus' avoid the problem methodology." Byakuran sighed while he watched Tsuna start tearing around the room.
"Well you can talk to him about it then." Mukurou growled pointing over at the grumpy looking Varia commander that had just come through their window and grabbed Tsuna again.
"You and I brat, we're going to have words." Xanxus hissed over at Byakuran before taking Tsuna and heading back to the mansion, her high wasn't quite as bad as last time, but it was still frustrating that the Byakuran didn't seem to learn. Xanxus must have been to nice to the kid in their last training session, it was time to kick things up a notch now he had a better grasp on the kids power and ability so as not to accidentally kill him.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
One month, one month the little shit had been doing everything in his power to annoy Xanxus and to get near to Tsuna and even to break every rule possible just for shits and giggles. Though Xanxus had to admit Tsuna was starting to develop a resistance to sugar since Byakuran kept sneaking her marshmallows.
"Don't worry you stupid boss, you heard Nono, the kid has the attention span of a goldfish, he'll be gone in another few months." Squalo shrugged over at the pensive Xanxus. "I mean, how long can he really stick around before he loses interest?" Squalo had a feeling he was really going to regret saying that.

ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Due to bad maths back in the beginning around Tsuna's age vs Japanese school ages Tsuna and co will be starting Middle school at 11-12 instead of 12-13.
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Xanxus growled over at the phone with hazy tired eyes, it was 2am, who the hell was calling at 2am? He'd kill someone for this.
Snatching the phone up he snarled down the line without waiting for any introduction. "What?!"
"Xanxus-sama." Xanxus paused hearing one of his fathers Guardians on the line, it was rare for them to call instead of Nono.
"Coyote?"
"There has been a major attack on the mansion." Coyote explained in a carefully calm voice, that in itself put Xanxus' hackles up.
"What happened to Nono." if something had happened to his father, Xanxus wasn't sure what he would do. While their relationship was still a tad rocky being that Xanxus' pride wouldn't allow him to apologise, even with the Tsuna influence, he still cared for the old man.
"Nono is fine, but you should come to Italy." Coyote paused and that just made the feeling in Xanxus' gut worse, something was wrong, if it wasn't Nono….
"Massimo?"
"Is fine."
"Federico?" Xanxus growled while silence fell over the line again, "Coyote?!"
"He was injured in the attack and is in critical condition, we're calling all Sun users we can to help try stabilize him." Coyote explained keeping his voice calm and even.
"I'm bringing Lussuria, and the Sun brat." Xanxus hissed, Ken was showing promise as a medic, even if he had the attention span of a goldfish. "And my brat." Tsuna was a must come, one to keep him calm, and two so he wasn't leaving her here unattended. As the kid got older, and her Flame stronger it was becoming harder and harder to keep people away from her, the passive attraction of her Flames was the cause of many a nightmare for Xanxus.
Storming into Squalo's room he kicked the sword emperor out of his bed while the silver haired young man snarled back at him tangled in his sheets.
"The fudge was that for boss?!"
"Get the jet warmed up. Wake up the Lussuria and the hyperactive brat and stand by at the airstrip." Squalo picked up from Xanxus' tone something was wrong, but there was no way to get any information out of the stubborn man until he deemed it.
Xanxus didn't bother to get a car, he just pulled his guns and flew straight to Tsuna, slamming the door open he just about flew up the stairs as well, not even waiting for her to wake he scooped the ever growing (though thankfully still smaller than the norm) girl into his arms and headed for the airstrip.
"Nii-san?" Tsuna mumbled while blinking around at the passing scenery. "Where?"
"We're going to Italy. I'll call your mother tomorrow." Tsuna picked up on the edge in his voice, something was wrong, something was very wrong.
"Mmm." Tsuna just looped her arms around his neck and scampered around to piggy back instead to free up his other gun so he could speed up.
Tsuna yawned sleepily when they landed while Xanxus let her slip to her feet staring at the Varia jet.
"Move brat." Tsuna nodded hurrying up the stairs after him, waving over to a half asleep Ken and plunking herself down in a chair while Xanxus prowled the plane. "Stay here and watch the brats." Xanxus ordered his silver haired second in command before jumping up the stairs and slamming the plane door closed.
"So we don't have to go to school tomorrow?" Ken whispered over to Tsuna while the little girl shrugged over at her friend. It would be hard to being that they were going to Italy on no notice, Kyoya was going to be super annoyed at her when she got back, only a week into the first term of middle school and the newly reshuffled student council president went missing without notice.
Tsuna needed to remember to call him in the morning, her Cloud got super pissy when she didn't tell him where she was.
"You lovely little babies want some tea?~" Tsuna blinked at Lussuria in confusion. Pushing away thoughts of school and a grumpy Cloud Tsuna came back to the now, Lussuria and Ken….Sun's, so someone was hurt, and from Xanxus' reaction it was either his brothers or his father. Either way he was going to be chafing at the bit for the next four hours.
"Mmm, thank you, Luss-nee." Tsuna looked over at Xanxus again before slipping out of her seat and heading over to him and reached up for him, she was getting too big for him to pick her up, a technicality, but he didn't care and picked the small twelve year old girl and hugged her tight his face in her soft hair.
"What happened, nii-san?" Tsuna asked softly while the young man just tightened his grip on her and took comfort from her ever stronger soft gentle Flame. "Federico-nii's hurt?" his arms tightened again, Tsuna falling silent and just hugging him tight around the neck. Xanxus didn't need talking, he just needed her, so she quietly hugged him as tight as she could until Xanxus made to show that he was alright.

So, huge huge delays, always did most of my writing when I was manic. and I'm now on medication for that...so writing is taking forever at the moment.
I've spent a lot longer than normal working on the chapters
I refuse to stop writing, it's just taking a long time to get anywhere at the moment, but these stories will be continued.
I'm sorry to everyone for the delays, especially as they drag on and on, I'm working hard on it, just...slowly, 2016 has been pretty shit all around for everyone, here's hoping 2017 is better.
Also in regards to spelling, previously my stupid Word kept changing things to American, sorry but I prefer it done the Aussie/English way and finally it's fixed, why it's default set to American confuses me. If you don't like it you're probably American and sorry but I'ma spell how I was taught, the English way. Colour has a U, deal with it.
Eventually or when I get to it I might go back and touch up some stuff and fix spelling on the way :)
ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
