Hello! I'm back~! Here's this chapter for this week and next week, we'll have a CotS chapter with Kiyomi and her gang~!

Another Eleventh

Target 6: Back In Japan

Akito grabbed his bag from the conveyor belt and looked around. He had just landed in Japan with Eiichi and Raph, the three looking for their luggage. The three boys came to Japan with Tsuna and Hayato as their chaperones. The poor Vongola was the last to grab his bag, so once he had it, he had to look for his companions.

"Akito." A familiar voice called out to him and he turned to see his father. His father wore a suit and was surrounded by men in black suits. Everyone around them stared at the two Sawadas. "Eiichi and Raph are outside. Let's go."

"Yeah…" Akito gulped as he walked beside his father. He stared at the bodyguards and then looked at his father. "Um… Father…"

"I know." Tsuna sighed. "It's… I hate it too, but Hayato is stern about this."

"Ah, it's Uncle Hayato's fault." The young boy chuckled. "Go figures."

The two walked out of the airport and everyone was looking at them. The two Sawadas tried to keep their mind off of the attention by talking about how much they missed Japan and such. They had a cool yet sweet aura vibe and tried their best not to trip or fall under pressure.

"Wow…" Raph chuckled. "They got that whole cozy father-son yet professional vibe."

"It's kind of disturbing." Eichi sighed as they walked to the limo. Once they were all in the car, Eichi looked at the two Vongola and raised an eyebrow. "Where did that atmosphere go?" He asked as he sat across from them.

Inside the limo, the two Sawada's were a nervous wreck. Tsuna was calling Kyoko, asking if she was okay and if the twins were healthy. While Akito was texting his other guardians, seeing where they were. Especially Suki since she left on a bad note. Once they got the responses they wanted, they both sank in their seats and smiled.

"They have their own issues." Hayto smiled from the driver's seat.

Next to his father in the passenger seat, Raph laughed. "Also, Akito got locked away from the rest of the world for a week. He's worried about the girls."

Akito smiled at the group in front of them. "Saki is fine. She's blending in again at school." He smiled at his phone and then at Eiichi. "Thanks for clearing everything up at school, back in Italy."

While Akito was on his probation, Eiichi had taken control of the whole situation with Raph helping him. A lot of students saw that Takeshi wasn't a criminal and was actually fighting against the enemy who attacked their village. The villagers apologized to Takashi and now he is seen as a hero, not a criminal. Of course, he is now no longer in charge of that village since the enemy had been arrested. Some of the students that bullied Saki were sorry about the incident but most of them were spiteful, including Carlo Lombardi and Sergio Mancini.

"It was easier since we didn't have to attend school." Raph smiled. Since that day when Lisanna, Saki, and Akito were signed out of school, Eiichi and Raph had to clean up a lot for the missing three. However, they were also signed out and spent the rest of the week at the Vongola Mansion to help clear Takashi's name. "Man, the school was easier than all that gossip. Now I know how an idol's manager feels when their idol is in a scandal."

"Idol's manager…? Idol…? Pearl!" Akito blinked and then blushed, remembering what he did to Pearl before he left. "Ah! I never apologized to her for that!" Holding his head in his hands, he whined. "What do I do if she's still mad at me?!"

"Good luck~!" Raph and Eichi grinned. Tsuna and Hayato exchanged knowing looks, chuckling at the small Vongola.

"No way!" Akito screamed in the limo.

"Aki-nii!" The twins ran up to the brunette twin as he stepped out of the car. He hugged both his siblings as he looked up to see his mother and grandparents outside with an outdoor feast.

Akito, carrying his brother on his shoulder and holding his little sister's hand, let his sister lead him to the picnic. He looked behind to see his father waving goodbye to the others in the car. "Come on, Father. Let's go."

"I'm coming." Tsuna chuckled as he walked to catch up with them.

"Aki-nii, we heard that you stopped going to school again. Did you fight someone?" Lexa asked, curious as they went to sit down.

"Yeah, I did." He answered.

"Did you win?" Axel asked.

"Um, yeah." The big brother mumbled, embarrassed.

"Yay! Nii-chan is the strongest!" The twins cheered together, making Akito feel guilty. "No one can beat him!"

"And this is why we punish you." Kyoko and Tsuna spoke together, bringing more guilt to Akito.

"Yeah…" Akito sighed as his siblings took off to the flower garden. He remembered the fight and sighed. He started to punch the kids and then every time his fists connected with their skin, it would leave burn marks and scar them. When he stopped punching them his own hands would burst into flames and he would be forced into HDWM even though he didn't take the pill or he got shot with the HDW bullet. "Is there really no way for me to have a device to help me control my flames?"

"That's what that bracelet is for." Iemitsu smiled as Nana poured another glass of iced tea. "I heard you lost it and then found it in your room."

"Have you been cleaning your room well?" Nana asked as she walked over to give him a hug. "If you have, it wouldn't have taken you a week to find it. You need to be more responsible if you're going to be your father's successor as Vongola Eleventh." She smiled while Akito sweatdropped at her response.

Since Tsuna took over as Vongola Decimo, Tsuna had Iemitsu tell Nana everything about the Vongola family and of his own job. Of course… She didn't fully understand the dangers of the mafia world, but she knew her husband, son, and grandson were very powerful, had many followers, and could hurt others. But she didn't understand their responsibilities in the Vongola family, the powerful foes, or flame technology.

Even though Iemitsu retired, the old man did help in the Japan branch of the Vongola Family. "Haha! She's right, Aki! You can't lose the thing that helps you!"

"Yes…" Akito sighed. "I'll try my best to cause trouble for you both, Grandma. Grandpa."

"If you start fights, I won't cook for you!" Nana giggled.

"How strict!" Tsuna laughed. "I never got that punishment when I was your age, Aki. It's good to know you'll be safe here."

"Hibari-san is also watching over this town, so I'm sure this place is the safest place in the world after the Simon Island." Kyoko smiled. "Akito can learn how to control his flames here in peace."

"Who's gonna train me?" Akito asked as his siblings put a flower crown on his head. "Oh thanks."

Tsuna and Iemitsu looked at each other and then at the boy. "You will meet them another day." Tsuna smiled. "For now, why don't you go and look around the town? You and your friends will be meeting tonight at the base, so go relax for a while."

"Can we go too?" Lexa and Axel asked, sounding excited.

"Sure, but listen to your brother." Kyoko giggled as Akito got to his feet and held each of his siblings' hands. "Aki, please take care of them."

"Yeah." Akito smiled as his grandfather gave him some money. "Lexa, Axel. Let's go."

"Yes!"

"Niichan!" Axel waved. "I want to go to a cafe!"

"I want to eat cake!" Lexa giggled.

The two twins were pulling their brother to follow them and to explore the town. He has been to Japan a couple of times, but his siblings haven't. Of course, the town was peaceful, but the two were too young to go out alone. If Kyoko took them out, it was just for errands and then they returned home.

"Okay, okay." Akito chuckled as they walked towards a cafe. Inside, there weren't a lot of people, but it did have an area for kids to play in. "I'll go order so you two go play."

"Okay~!" The twins cheered as they rushed to the playground.

Akito only sighed and ordered their food. Once the order was in, he sat at a four-person table near a window, watching his siblings getting along with other children. He blushed when he heard some old women behind him commenting on how he was such a responsible sibling.

"Here's your order." A waitress smiled as she placed the tea sandwich platter and a tea set. The food looked great, but his siblings were still playing.

"Thank you." He looked at the playground and then grabbed a sandwich. "I'll wait until they're tired."

"Um…" The waitress spoke up. When he looked at her, he blinked at her blushing face. "C-Could I get your number?" She asked.

"My number?" He blinked but only blushed. "Sorry, I don't have a cell since I moved an-!" He was going to continue, but he saw a girl with tan brown hair walk pass the window. "Biyori?" He whispered and got to his feet. "Sorry, I'll be right back."

"Huh?" The waitress blinked as she watched him rush out the door. "Sir?"

Outside, Akito rushed out and looked towards the direction she walked towards when he saw through the window. He rushed around, searching. He eventually saw her down a street and was about to run over, but a voice stopped him.

"Oh? Where are you looking?"

Akito turned around to see a giant TV on a building. He blinked when he saw his fiance standing on stage. "Pearl…?" He gasped.

"Kya, she's so pretty~!" He began to hear other people talking.

"I wonder if I can catch her live?"

"Her voice is so calming, I just love it~!"

"I wonder if she's single~!"

Akito stared at the screen while he watched the blonde sing on stage. "I forgot…" He whispered. "Pearl is famous… I… Am I good enough for her?" He then remembered last night and blushed. "I'm the worst."

"Wait!" The boy blinked and looked around. "Ah, I lost her…" He let out a sigh and walked back to the cafe. Once he arrived, he saw his siblings already eating with the same waitress watching over them. "I'm sorry. I thought I saw an old friend of mine. It was my mistake." He chuckled.

"It's fine! It must be hard since you don't have a cell phone." The waitress blushed and bowed. "I'll get back to work. Enjoy your stay."

"Thank you." Akito waved and then let out a sigh. "Sorry, you two. I thought I saw an old friend of mine."

"Was it not them?" Lexa asked.

"Maybe? I was too far away to tell." The oldest smiled. "But, it's fine."

"Eh? Why?" Axel asked. "Don't you miss them?"

"Yes, but…" He looked out the window and frowned. "It might be better to wait."

It was close to midnight when Saki walked up to the shrine. Walking towards the building, she fazed through a secret passage that took her to a hallway that led to some stairs going down. She took the stairs and entered a Japanese style area. You would think that this was a yakuza's base. Walking around, Saki arrived at two big doors with the Vongola crest on the front of it.

Once it was opened, the black-haired girl walked into the new area that seemed a bit like a modern or high-tech area. Some walls were built with a hard metal and some even had windows where you could see inside. She turned a corner and saw a friend talking with another worker.

"Lisa…" Saki blinked and then smiled when the albino looked at her. She started to walk to her as Lisanna dismissed the worker, who looked heartbroken. "Ready for that meeting?"

"Yeah!" She smiled but then looked at her friend worried. "Saki, how are you feeling?" Lisanna asked as they walked down the hallway of the base.

"Better," She smiled. "Papa even told me that he was sorry it got so bad. He talked with Uncle Tsuna and they said we can go to France for Pearl's concert."

"Really? Lucky!" Lisanna giggled. "Do you think the boys will want to come with us?"

"I hope so…" Saki stopped walking and looked at the ground. "Akito…. He got in trouble because of me."

"Saki." Lisanna stopped walking and hugged her friend. "Hey, why don't you confess?"

"I can't…" Saki teared up. "The boy I like is dating the pop star I admire. It's the perfect couple…but… when he protected me in that moment…" a memory of Akito covering her with his jacket flashed in her mind, "... my head just reminded me of how much I like him…"

"Saki…" Lisanna frowned and then pulled away to wipe her friend's tears. "Akito is a great guy, but you're an amazing girl! I'm sure, even if it's not him, you'll find a man that will love you for you!"

"Yeah, forget about that asshole."

The girls jumped away from each other at the voice to see Raph, Eiichi, and Akito walking towards them in matching outfits. They each had on a suit with the jacket reaching behind their knees. Each boy had on a different color tie: red for Raph, purple for Eichi, and orange for Akato. All three looked professional and cool.

"Ohhh~! Long time since you three wore that outfit!" Lisanna giggled as she walked to her man. "I'm loving this look~!" She giggled as she kissed his nose, wrapping her arms around him.

"Okay, okay. Calm down." Raph laughed as Eichi walked ahead to the door. "We're gonna be late." He kissed her forehead and followed Eichi. "Come on, Akato. See you all when we get back."

"Yeah~!" Saki and Lisanna giggled as they waved at the boys.

Akito walked over to Saki and patted her head. "Sorry about what happened in Italy." He told her and handed her a handkerchief. "When I get back, I'll hear you out."

"Eh?" Saki panicked while Lisanna, who also heard his words, panicked as well. "You heard what we were talking about?"

"About Sergio, right?" Akito blinked. "Lisanna is right. You'll find someone better than him. I'm sure."

"Ah…" Saki relaxed, relieved. "Th-Thanks…"

"Huh?" Akito took out his phone from his pocket when he heard it ring and looked at it. "Oh, Pearl messaged me. What did she say?" He pondered as he opened the message.

Saki blinked. "Oh, she messaged you? It should be morning for her."

"Yeah. When we landed, I sent her a message that we were back in Japan." Akito smiled but then blinked at the message.

"When I see you again, you better continue what you were doing to me before Yuuma interrupted."

Akito blushed at the text and wrote a short reply back. "Oh dear… Being a boyfriend is hard work." He smiled at Saki. "Later."

Saki waved as Raph and Akito ran off to catch up to Eiichi. "He likes her… Oh man." She smiled at Lisanna who gave her a pitiful smile. "Time for some blind dates!" She grinned as a tear fell.

Meanwhile, Eiichi smirked as the other two caught up to him. "He's finally acting like a boyfriend." Eichi pointed out to Raph as if Akito wasn't hearing. "Do you believe this?"

"If I didn't see that, then I wouldn't have believed you. Well, at least we won't have to worry about him being gay and hoping his siblings to produce the next heir." Raph smiled, wiping a fake tear from his cheek. "The Vongola name will live on~!"

"I hate both of you!" Akito yelled at the two as he walked ahead. "I just sent a text… What's wrong with that? If I don't reply, she'll worry."

"Oh yeah. She does worry about you." Eichi muttered but shook it off as they heard the helicopter coming toward them. "I don't trust her."

"Why is that?" Raph asked, a bit shocked. "Because she's a world-famous idol?"

"No." Eichi sighed as he walked ahead towards the plane. "Her background is confusing." He said as they all stared at the sky. "She ran away from her family to be an idol. Normal people don't do that. Also, if she wanted to be an idol, instead of starting at the bottom, her family could support her or if they didn't, she could use the Cacciatori name to get popularity." He said as they hopped onto the helicopter.

Akato looked at his feet. "You're right…." He sighed but shook his head. "Right now, we have a mission so let's stay focused."

"Right!/Yeah!"

And that's it~!
