DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN

Tsuna's POV
"Sakurako, if it's who I think it is, is Natsuki's older sister to put it a better perspective. If we let Varia find her, she's going to die. And if that happens then you lose possibly one of the best allies that the Vongola has ever had as she's also the only heir left to be Celeste Quattor." Reborn responded. Gokudera lost his tense atmosphere from the shock of the news.

"Celeste Quattor?! She's alive? Juudaime, we can't have Varia get to her! If Shadows knows something about her, then we need to get her back as well!" I was surprised at his sudden outburst. Out of my guardians, Gokudera was always hostile to her. Now he was telling me that we needed to get her back?

"Calm down Gokudera-kun. There's still a lot we don't know. Reborn, I thought that you said that the Celeste famiglia was wiped out? And even though she's the next in line, why should we put effort to go finding her?" Reborn smirked at me.

"Looks like Natsuki's really stared to influenced you to start questioning more." I bit my lip at his statement. Though I hate to admit it, Natsuki had really opened my eyes to what I had to do as the boss. I planned to destroy this stupid system but had no idea what was at stake if I tried anything. People like Natsuki set me as their number one target for tricking, and I had no way of knowing.

It wasn't just that. Natsuki, in a way, was like Reborn. With rough words and merciless tactics, they never told me directly what they wanted. Only telling me that I needed to figure out everything by myself. With my box, Verde's trial, and with the girl's boycott. Though I have a feeling that she had another objective up her sleeve for helping us all the time. I honestly never knew what she was planning.

That only got worse with the deal she made with me. So many lives were on the line and she choose to take advantage of me. I couldn't sleep those nights knowing that I was the only one to blame for letting it happen. I knew that they were after I-pin. That they were dangerous people. If only I-pin didn't get captured in the first place. None of this would be happening.

"Yeah, I'm not too happy about it either." I gave a sigh, looking at the two girls. They held onto Checkerface's journal and had a new set of rings on their fingers. That only led me to one conclusion. "Why don't we find a place to sleep for the night? Then we can talk more about...everything."

"No Tsuna-kun." Kyoko started. "We came here to help Natsuki-chan. After seeing the way that she looked just now, we can't stop here. Ren and Lin gave us these rings so that we can protect people that we care about. We won't go with you unless you agree to help us rescue her."

Ryohei opened his mouth to rebuttal when I placed my hand on his shoulder. I gently pulled him to the side to stand in front of them. I gave the best smile that I could. "I understand. With the mystery of Sakurako-san still around, she's the only one that we can rely on. Like Unus and Duo said before, she's never any of us astray before. The fact that she kept her promise with Belphegor-san is proof enough to not abandon her."

They lit up, tackling me into a hug. I awkwardly regained my footing giving them a few pats on the back. They really worked hard this time around. "Are you sure about this Tsuna? I know that Gokudera and the kid said that she's important but Natsuki is dangerous. Even Hibari is on par with her."

I reassuring looked at Yamamoto. "Yeah. To be honest I'm still a little weary of Natsuki-san but something I can't do is let Sakurako-san die for nothing. She's innocent for all we know. We can't let Varia get their hands on her."

It was times like this that Reborn being so successful in his field was helpful. He had no trouble in getting us a few rooms in a nice hotel for the night. Kyoko and Haru had to talk to Unus regarding them going with us. They were surprisingly willingly letting them go if it meant that they weren't in charge of their well being anymore. Though they did have to stay with us for when we were going to call Varia since they had a more direct line. Though a higher up like Natsuki would be directly to Xanxus.

So here we sat in one room with Natsuki's squadron in the other. We sat in a variety of places around the room so that we can have some form of discussion. Taking a safe route, I wanted to know everything that I needed to know before talking to Xanuxs. Most of the attention was on me to start us off. "Um I guess we should talk about the elephant in the room. Kyoko-chan, Haru. Are you the owners of those Tri-Ni-Sette rings?"

They nervously placed Checkerface's journal down on the table in front of them. "Yes we are. The matching Scudo rings. We didn't even know anything about it before heading here, but I guess we were drawn to them."

"I was afraid of that." I took in a deep breath. "Okay. If you guys are bearers, then I can't do anything about it. But you aren't going to disappear and run off like you did today. Can we at least agree that you have to consult me, or one of us, before you go into battle?"

They looked at each other shrugging their shoulders. "We get it Tsuna-kun. We'll listen to what you have to say before doing anything risky."

"Great. Great. Now um- Reborn. Gokudera-san. About this Sakurako-san. Who is she?"

Gokudera raised his hand first. "I'm not too familiar with Quattor herself but I know all about the Celeste famigila. Especially about Celeste Terzo. Like you, Kuudaime wasn't too open with Vongola business. No one knows how but she managed to convince Kuudaime into a alliance. That hasn't happened in years that many families focused in on how she could accomplish that as the newly boss. When news broke out that they were killed in a massacre, everyone was put on their toes."

"Is-Was she that good?" I corrected myself, knowing that she had past.

"A top of the line tactician that assured victory with some of the best weaponry maintenance. If her daughter is anything like her then we have to secure her. If you were worried about how Shadows works, then Quattor can run circles around us." He suddenly covered his mouth, dropping his head. "Not to mean any offense to you Juudaime!"

I shook my head, patting his back to show that I didn't take any. He raised his head, rubbing his chin in thought. "Though I have to wonder why Shadows would be aware of her living. Their killers were never found nor any survivors. Reborn-san even said that they were sisters, but from what I remember Terzo only had a daughter."

I awkwardly rubbed the back of my neck, being aware of her dark past. "That part isn't really important. Reborn, do you think that Sakurako-san would be able to outsmart Natsuki-san and our enemy? Have you met her before?"

"I haven't but when you're the only heir, rumors start spreading but judging by our knowledge of Natsuki's existence, Sakurako was under her umbrella. No private information was able to get far, true or not. Gokudera is right though. Though fairly new, the Celeste familiga was able to shake our world with both their entrance and departure."

"Well if they're so great then why did they die? She can't possible be better than that trespasser if they're dead." Hibari mentioned, being on the opposite side of the room. He did bring up a good point. I knew that Varia would have been the one to kill them since Natsuki was with them. Sure, they were strong but that would sound too easy. Even for them.

"Their trainings probably revolved around different things. Where Natsuki was meant to be a possible leader of a sub group to her father, Sakurako focused on inheriting the Celeste's most prominent features. There was no doubt that Natsuki was the strongest in the Celeste familgia at the time but Sakurako will be only one to counter her mentally."

"Natsuki-chan is pretty smart though. Even if they were trained differently, it doesn't mean that she's dumber than her sister- desu."

"No, not dumber just not as calculating. There's experience difference in their levels. The main thing that separates tacticians and fighters is their view on the battle. Us, fighters have to make quick decisions that decides on the life of all attackers. However, to someone hidden behind the line, they only view us as toys to control. That lack of pressure on them makes her mentally more capable than all of us. If we get Sakurako's help we don't have to fear anyone trying to overtake you. That is, if Xanxus didn't kill her yet."

I nodded getting the general idea of her skills. I should have expected as much from Natsuki's sister. "But why would Xanxus try to kill her if she's a reliable asset?"

"Because Natsuki isn't there to protect him anymore. Since it was originally his call to murder her family it wouldn't be surprising if she holds a grudge against them. However, with Natsuki on their side there was nothing that she could have done to them. Now that she's gone, they're an open target. Being the Celeste heir assures any enemies that may want to team up with her to take them down."

"Varia was the one that killed the Celeste famigila?!" I somewhat ignored Gokudera to listen to everything they had to say.

"If you say it like that then can we count on her to help Natsuki-chan now? I mean I know I wouldn't want a bunch of killers coming after Onii-chan. If Natsuki-chan knew that they would go after her sister, then doesn't that mean that they had a strain relationship?"

"Well then we have to ask, who had her loyalty? Her sister or her familgia? And then we have to ask, does Sakurako feel the same way?" I pondered a bit at the idea. Why was Natsuki trying to kill her own sister? If anything, Sakurako could have remained hidden but she was pulled into the full view of Varia.

"Alright then. Yamamoto-san, can you get Natsuki-san's squadron to call Varia. I think I'm ready." Yamamoto nodded, standing up to head to the other room. I took a few deep breathes, calming my nerves. He came back no later than a minute with the group following behind him. I stood up so that I could greet them as best as possible.

"Save it Sawada. We're only helping those girls. We're going to establish the call and then we're leaving. And don't worry about the ones back in Italy. Once they receive the approval we'll escort them back to Japan." Unus told me. I nervously sat back down letting them move over to the computer. Once the call starting dialing they left us to be.

The tension in the air was thick as we listened to the ringing. It stopped and came the face of Squalo. He smirked leaning away from the camera. "Hey Boss! It's Sawada and trash! They got the girls too!"

He moved to the side letting Xanxus be the center of the frame. "Is there something you need?"

He seemed to be smirk at me all knowingly. "Sakurako-san. Natsuki-san's sister? Are you after her?"

"I am. She's too risky to leave alone. Even if Bel did erase any tracks, she has the ability to track us. And without Fia to vouch for us we can't have any loose ties."

"Well then I'll tell you this. We're going to look for her as well. Can you answer this though? Why did Natsuki-san tell you that she's still alive? Do you know how their relationship was?"

He was a bit skeptic. "No. For the majority, Fia preferred to not mention her past. Only when she felt thankful to them. She never spoke poorly of them enough to kill them. At least, not of the family as a whole."

"Is there anyway for us to stop you? She's innocent and there's always a chance that she doesn't revenge on you." He scoffed at me. The other members laughed behind him.

"Whatever Fia was planning with telling us is up to us. Even Duo said that you weren't suppose to hear the news. We'll do what we want once we find her. Try to keep up but we already have a lead on where she can be." With that he cut off the connection.

"They already have a lead. As expected of Varia." I ran my hand through my hair. There had to be some way we could find her before them. Or at least stall them long enough.

"Hey Juudaime there's something bothering me about your call." I looked over to Gokudera. "Xanxus kept calling Shadows, Fia. You might not know this but that was the name of the only daughter to Kuudaime. It sounds a bit off that he's calling her that. Perhaps that could be a clue as to who Shadows' really is."

"Ah that, um, it's not really in my place to tell you but that's actually her birth name. Natsuki is something that Celeste Terzo came up with." Gokudera looked as if he stopped breathing for a moment to piece everything together. I placed my hand on his back giving off a bit of flames to help him. A trick I learned from her as well.

"Kufufu I thought the name sounded familiar." I turned to Mukuro in the corner of the room. "That explains a lot of the relationship between the families. That makes a bit easier as well. We can find Sakurako this way."

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"You keep referring to them as sisters, meaning that Haunting Shadows was close to our target. At least, at one point in time. If she really was Kuudaime's daughter, then that means the alliance between the two was an agreement of protection. And I doubt that Celeste Quattor would be able to live by herself for over two years since her family was killed. Sounds like she had help."

"You think that Kuudaime has been helping her all these years?"

"All I'm applying is that you can't runaway without some help. The fact that Haunting Shadows so confidently stated that she was still alive without contact is suspicious itself." It did seem strange. The entire family was murder and so she was on the run. Even Natsuki, or Fia to be specific, was labelled dead to go into hiding.

If Sakurako was really out there, she couldn't be alone. And with the alliance still in place, she was protected. She had the needed resources only if she remained in contact with someone. It couldn't have been Natsuki since she was treated as a hostage at the beginning. Probably long enough for her to die alone. So her only source had to be Kuudaime.

"Reborn, do you think that you call Kuudaime and try to see if he knows anything?" He nodded shifting Leon into a hand phone. "Reborn and I can handle the rest. The rest of you guys should get some sleep. It's been a long day and with a lot of information to process."

"No way Tsuna. We should stay awake and head out as soon as the old man tells us where to go." I shook my head as Yamamoto.

"Kuudaime isn't going to put up a fight against us so it shouldn't be too long. If we're serious about going to get her then we should be well rested. We may have to fight with Varia tomorrow so we need to be ready. That and the girls have Tri-Ni-Sette rings now. Azazel could come by again and though they haven't tried anything so far, we can't be sure that's the case everytime. Today we were lucky that they backed out."

"Tsuna's right. You need to be well rested. This would also be a sensitive topic to Kuudaime. It's best that the two of us called him alone since we know more about Natsuki then the rest of you." Surprisingly it was the girls that stood up first. With all their recent rebelling I would have thought they would have protested a bit more.

"We get it Tsuna-kun. Don't overwork yourself." Kyoko smiled kindly to me. How I missed her smile. After all the stress I was trying to work on, something as simple as her smile really brighten my mood.

"Thank you." I said quietly. The others slowly followed her, Gokudera and Yamamoto being the lingering ones. I gave them a nod signalling them that I would be fine. They closed the door behind them leaving just me and Reborn. He gave me a second before hitting a button on the Leon phone starting the sound of dialing.

"Good morning Tsunayoshi-kun. How can I help you?" The elder man started off.

"Kuudaime, Celeste Quattor is she alive?" He paused for a second. Even through the phone I could feel his tension.

"How did you know that?" My heart rate raised a little knowing that it was true.

"Natsuki-san told Varia and now they're after her." There was a sound of something cluttering in the background.

"What? Not possible. Fia knows nothing about Sakurako's whereabouts. There's a reason I kept that information from her."

"Wait, so Natsuki didn't know about Sakurako?"

"Of course she must have known about her living but I made sure that the connection between the two was severed. For both of their sakes. For exactly this reason. Terzo raised them in the highest manner that if Sakurako knew of Fia being with her family's killers, there's no telling what they could do."

"Kuudaime I know this is moving kind of fast but there's a lot of complications happening here that I don't really have time to explain in detail. We need her help but we can't do that if Xanxus kills her. Please if you have any information on where she is, we would really appreciate it. We'll work out the details." I unconsciously rubbed my hands together in a worried manner.

"God Fia." I heard him murmur under his breath. "She went into hiding. Last she reported was in France. I'll send you the location."

I checked the map for the nth time. From what we've seen from the country so far, this wasn't what I was expecting for a runaway heir. I suppose it's better than the rundown image that I placed in my head. The home that was described in the Kuudaime's instructions led to a small cabin on the outskirts of the town. Not necessarily being an outcast but just enough distance to establish some privacy. France was actually quite nice. If we had more time I would have liked to give everyone the day to relax.

The girls deserved it the most. Even though they only spent a week with Natsuki, I could see the results of their training. They blended into the crowd better than our large group did. Not to mention their eyes. They didn't stand out. Only sparing small glances at anything that caught their attention. Not enough to attract attention to them for being too careful.

An older woman sat by a small table with a large sun hat blocking her face. I caught her long pink hair flowing in the wind as she took a bite out of her snack. I took a step forward, bringing her attention to me. Her head raised up revealing her orange eyes. They surprised me. I knew that the two of them weren't blood related but I couldn't help but imagine a more mature version of Natsuki.

Maybe it was my fear talking or me wanting to project Natsuki's image onto her but there was no doubt that a strong presence to her. The way she posed herself showed off her cautiousness attitude towards us. We definitely needed to watch what we say to her.

"Comment puis-je vous aider?" (How may I help you?) Reborn stepped forward first.

"Pardonne-nous mais la majorité d'entre nous parle japonais" (Forgive us but the majority of us speak Japanese) She nodded setting down her biscuit, gesturing for us to come closer. I walked a bit closer, careful that I didn't do anything to alarm her. Not that she couldn't already see my stiff steps.

"Is there something I could help you with little Mafia boy?" She smiled innocently as if mentioning me being in the Mafia was causal.

"H-how did you know?" She shrugged her shoulders.

"You tell me. Can I at least learn your names before I speak of anything?" She looked to Reborn, holding out her hand towards him. "Let's start with tall and dangerous here. Do you have a name?"

Reborn moved up to gently hold her hand. "Reborn."

"Reborn, hmm? World's greatest hitman Reborn? Now I know that I've been out of the game for a while but remind me, weren't you suppose to be one of the strongest babies? You hardly look the part." She released his hand looking up at him. Unlike her sister, she spoke in a completely different manner but with the same goal. Both were carefully in their words, but where Natsuki would taunt in submission without fear, Sakurako professionally charmed.

"Would you consider me a liar?" She shook her head.

"No, I don't believe anyone would be that stupid. So if the rumors are true, I assume this would be Decimo?" I stumbled over my feet to walk over to her. She giggled like a child at me. "You're younger than I thought you would be. I apologize for not being able to attend your inheritance ceremony. Though I heard the experience was quite...eventful."

"N-no it's fine. I sort of know of your situation."

"I would think so. How else would you know that I was here? I'm no where near the level of my mother but I can try my best. Though I would like to hear all the terms and conditions before I accept any job you have to offer. I'm sure you understand that Decimo."

"Actually that's not why we're here. You're in danger. We're here to take you to safety or find some way to hide you for the time being. Is there somewhere you can stay that others wouldn't know of or-"

"Woah woah, slow down Decimo. Why would anyone be coming for me? After my familglia's disappearance, my role in our world has vanished. In case you haven't noticed, not too many people are particularly concerned with someone that's been dead for over two years. Besides, my guardians are training around the world right now. They can't come back here without their boss here."

Gokudera rushed up next to me. "You have guardians? Can I meet them? The guardians that Celeste Quattor picked out."

"Celeste Quattor. I like the sound of that. Unfortunately, you can not meet them at the moment. Over the past couple of weeks we've received a very valuable asset so for the time being, we've decided that doing a bit of self training would be ideal in plan for our big return." I didn't like the sound of her voice as she continued. I could see in her eyes that something menacing was lurking.

"You want to go after your family's murders." I stated rather than asking.

"I see, the legendary Vongola intuition is still around. Yes, and I already know my targets. Not that Kuudaime helped in anyway."

"No. You can't. That's exactly why we came here. We don't know why but Natsuki-san told -" She coughed loudly to interrupt me.

"Please don't mention that name in my presences. You don't come to my house and utter that name without any hesitation." She smiled at me, giving a warning to watch my tongue. I shivered at the hatred that was underlying in her words.

"You hate her that much?" Hibari questioned in the background.

"Hate? No. Despise? Absolutely." I took a step back at her tone. She took in a deep breath calming herself. "I apologize. A topic I prefer not to go into depth to. You may continue."

I opened my mouth when I felt something off. I leap forward pushing Sakurako to the ground as a knife barely grazed her hair. The girls rushed to the side of the target with the rest of my guardians surrounding us. I pulled her to her feet looking at the knife that penetrated the wall of her house.

"Now this is why Mother always says to learn all terms before agreeing to anything." She brushed us aside walking in to the group that faded in Mist flames. Varia stood proud in front of us, ready to kill her. She placed her hands on her hips looking between the two groups. One wanting to save her and the other to kill her.

"I am going to address the obvious here. We all know that I can't take on even one of you on. What you don't know is where my trigger points for my machine guns are. No reckless movements equal no bullet filled people. How about we settle this peacefully? Both sides drop your weapons and flame levels, and we'll talk like civil people." The two made eye contact.

"How do we know you're not bluffing and siding with Sawada to get more time to save yourself?" She took a step forward. Then pointed out her toe, tapping it once on the ground. There was a faint click echo from all directions. Nothing that be could be seen though.

She slowly raised her right hand letting a simple silver ring shine in the light. I shivered at the simple motion, feeling my Vongola gear get warm. I felt something stir behind me around where the girls where standing. I clutched my Vongola gear noticing the warm feeling of Natsu trying to warn me.

"Don't Sakurako. I didn't see it before but the power around you... You're the final Tri-Ni-Sette holder, aren't you?" She tilted her head back at us, holding onto her hat so that it wouldn't fall off.

"Final one? Not sure about that. I won't deny your other accusation though." She cracked a pretty realistic smile, turning back to Xanxus.

I felt my breath hitch noticing how if I did know about her anger, her smile could have fooled anyone. This was Celeste Quattro. Right now, this is her battlefield. We came to her without knowing anything. She possesses a ring and a heavy grudge. Any wrong move could lead to anyone's death.

"Believe me now? My Mother didn't let me travel the world without my own set of skills in mechanics. The peaceful option is still on the table though." Xanxus gave them a side glance, nodding at them to relax. She dragged her foot back, lowering her hand.

"Smart choice. So where is my darling sister? I would love to see her after all this time. Especially because it seems like she just sent a bunch of assassins after me." She walked with a confident gait to pick up the table that was tipped over.

"She's decided to betray us. Sided with the enemy." She scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Wouldn't be the first time." I shook my head, walking up to her.

"They're not lying but they're not saying everything either. Natsuki-san gave herself up to save all of us. It's a long story but the person we're facing now is dangerous. They held hostages and she was the only one that knew how to save them. In the end she gave herself up to be a slave for the other side. We did come here to protect you from them, but thinking more into it... "

I looked at Kyoko and Haru and the rings on their fingers. "I owe her a lot. I don't even want to think about what kind of torture she's going through right now. Look, I know you hate your sister but you're probably the only one that could help us."

I probably sounded depressed to her. She gave out a sigh. "I didn't always hate Natsuki. Though she was quiet and sharp tongue, I'm her sister. Her older sister. I started to doubt her only recently when I found out that she sided with my family's killers without even trying to find me. You should leave her be. At some point she'll learn to love it there just like she did this time."

I could tell that she was holding back her glare under her mature facade. Kyoko ran in front of her with Haru in front of Varia. "No. We won't let Natsuki-chan go off of her own."

"You guys didn't see it -desu. The way that Natsuki-chan looked was different than when she was with you. Whatever this Tachibana Yoshi did to her she's not the same."

"Tachibana Yoshi you say?" Kyoko nodded.

"That's what he called himself. He was really touchy with her too." I raised my eyebrow. The name seemed to ring a bell to her.

"Brown haired girl, move out of the way so that I could look at the murders." Haru shuffled to the side. Xanxus didn't look too happy at being quiet for so long.

"If she switched sides then how did you find me? I doubt Kuudaime would reveal information about me living would slip out so easily. Why did she tell you before leaving? She should know that-" She stopped herself talking. There was a moment of silence where she just nodded to herself. "Xanxus di Varia, what did Natsuki tell you about me?"

"She only left a short note with her squadron that was directed to us. All it said was that you're alive."

"May I see it?" Xanxus squinted at her before reaching into his jacket. He took out a folded piece of paper, tossing it lightly to Mammon. The paper glowed in blue, floating in mid air to Sakurako. She gently picked it out of the air, opening it up. With one quick scan over it she rolled her eyes at it.

"That's my sister for you." She mumbled under her breath. She folded it neatly putting it onto her lap.

"Okay then. Decimo I will help in defeating Tachibana and for you, Xanxus. I propose a deal. I promise that my familglia will not attack yours only if you assist us in getting back my sister. I don't want her in any way associated with Tachibana in any way and for her to rejoin Varia after words."

"That's not really for you to decide. Fia has accepted her new role by handing in her jacket. Trying to bring her back after everything would be pointless."

"That's not what I read in this note." Xanxus glared at her.

"We've went over that a hundred times. That note was meant to be a part of her will. What part implies that she wants to return if she was meant to die"

"Do you doubt my abilities? Because you should know that I knew for a long time that you were the one to order my family's murder. I've had plenty of time to orchestrate a beautiful plan to take you on. Isn't that the reason you're here, to finish the job? I'm just offering a clean way out."

Xanxus bit his lip. "Your ring. What do you know about it? Do you know that your sister is going to die with the complement ring to her? This Tachibana Yoshi, that you're not so secretly holding information on, cannot be killed in that case. Even if you want to bring her back, she has acknowledged that she can not do anything about her circumstances. That they will continue to attack her until she goes back to them."

"That's not my problem. Just get her back. What happens in the aftermath is entirely up to you. And for the questions directed to my ring, any information regarding it is confidential." It was strange. One minute ago she was mad at Natsuki for joining Varia. The next, she was practically forcing Xanxus to take her back.

However, with Sakurako's ring and abilities, Xanxus was being pushed into a corner whether he wanted her back or not. Then was her information on Tachibana Yoshi. Even if we weren't here to protect her in the case of her deal falling through, she was the only one so far that knows exactly what we're up against. She covered all bases in being able to stand for herself. How was still unknown. What is known is that she wasn't going to tolerate Xanxus much longer if he didn't listen.

He could probably tell that too. Putting on a forced face, grinding his teeth together. "Fine. We'll work together to get Fia back in exchange for your word against your betrayal. On one condition though."

"You're not really in the position to be saying anything but I'll listen."

"Your word isn't good enough. After we get Fia back, you're going to give us your Tri-Ni-Sette ring. I don't give a shit about rightful owner or being chosen by the predecessor. Hand over your ring and we'll call it a done deal."

She pursed her lips a little sparing a glance at her finger. "Alright then. As long as you don't back-stab my family for a second time, then I see no reason to keep this thing. Shall we make it official?"

Xanxus scoffed. "You even speak like her."

"I don't know whether or not to take that as a compliment." Shrugging her shoulders, she walked over to them, sticking out her hand. "With Vongola Decimo as a witness, I, Celeste Sakurako acting Celeste Quattor propose a truce with Xanxus di Varia in exchange for Natsuki formerly of Varia's, return."

He roughly grabbed her hand giving a small shake. "And I, Xanxus di Varia, agree to this truce in exchange for the Tri-Ni-Sette ring in Celeste Sakurako's possession after Natsuki, formerly of Varia, is secured."

I looked between the two dons. Then to my guardians. Then to Varia who were finally lowering their weapons. Then to all the Tri-Ni-Sette items that were here. 'What did I just get myself into?'
