Fratellanza

"Well, if it isn't a beautiful lad..." Shamal didn't even finish his sentence to Feng that Kyoya had hit him in the stomach with his tonfa. My doctor didn't even try again because Fon was at his feet, a threatening smile on his face as I could almost feel the Storm Flames swirling around him in the air.

"Alaric, you'll protect the Sasagawa household. Kurokawa Hana should be having a sleepover there."

"I talked with Yamamoto Tsuyoshi," Lal added, "he agreed to invite the Sawadas to dinner and keep them in his house until the threat is over." I nodded and looked up at Shamal.

"You're okay with being his back-up?" He shrugged.

"I didn't feel like getting in a real fight anyway."

"Luciana, Hibari and Arroganza are all more efficient in close range fighting, but Luciana can also be mid-range. Arroganza's skills with a gun are too rough for him to be mid-range." Arro pouted, but one glare from Lal and it disappeared. Kyoya was quite obedient whereas we were seven in his living-room.

The fact he could free the town he loved so much from his dad probably made him more lenient on his crowding criteria.

"Sawada Iemitsu assured us that the CEDEF would take care of cleaning up the area around Namimori once our work is done." I crossed my arms, a frown on my face.

Yeah.

I was pretty sure Iemitsu would come to Japan at this point.

"Kyoya, I am sorry but you will stay with Arroganza," Fon told his nephew, who narrowed his eyes at him. "Among all of us, you are the one with the least experience with this kind of operation. We can't risk you to go berserk, so please handle it." I shot a look at the grinning Arro. He patted Kyoya on the shoulder and received a tonfa in the head in return. "Anyway, you three will go together. Luciana will infiltrate and deactivate the security systems and locks when I will give the signal."

"Signal?" I repeated. He smiled at me.

"Trust me, you will know."

"Meanwhile, I will take a different route and collect information about the Nishimuras in general, their whereabouts and their connection." I froze at that.

I...didn't want them to know about...the trash who wanted me back.

"Do I even want to know how you can drive a car?" Arro laughed.

"Lulu, I've lived in the U.S for years. At the end of the year, I'm sixteen, which means I'll have a beautiful paper delivered by the state of Illinois saying I can legally drive!" I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"I keep forgetting that even if we're like four months apart, you're still technically a year older. What fucking idea was it to pop out of your egg on Decembre, 29th?" He shrugged, his eyes on the road.

"I'd ask my parents, but my phone doesn't get a good connection with the Other Side." A mom who died in labor and a father assassinated in front of his eyes…

The Mafia hit him hard too.

Arro turned right brutally, sending me in Kyoya, who had his hand against the door window to avoid his face slamming in it. He glared at me as I was basically on him, but Arro turned left, exchanging our position.

"Damn, you are a pervert, aren't you?" I asked him with an angry smile, staring at the hand on my right breast. "If you don't remove your hand I'll blow it off." He moved back with a snarl on his face.

"It's not as if there was something to touch." I flushed in anger and Arro laughed, making Kyoya and I bumped in the seats in front of us when he stopped the car out of sudden.

"Lulu, you got burned!"

"Shut up, you'll never get that driving license if you drive like shit!" I replied angrily, slamming the door of the car behind me. He puffed his cheeks, feigning innocence, almost like Reborn loved to do. "I'm fucking punching you until your teeth fall out."

"Yeah, sure Lulu. It was scary the first ten times."

Well all leaned our back to the wall. I leaned a little, watching the men at the entrance of a what looked like a winery. Lal was supposed to be on the other side, and I turned on my earpiece, gesturing Arro and Kyoya to do the same.

"I see the entrance on my side."

"Good, let's go then." I looked above my shoulder.

"Don't randomly die like trash boys." Kyoya scoffed and looked away as Arro grinned stupidly, a thumbs-up in my direction.

"Give them hell Lulu." I smirked ferociously.

"Obviously."

I lit my ring, heavy indigo mist falling on me and hiding my presence to everyone.

Let's go then.

Repeating what I had been taught in CEDEF in my head, I waited for someone to be a little bit apart from the group and knocked them out, hiding them in the bushes. Fon would take care of it. As I took their appearance, now a bland yakuza with obnoxious tattoos, I pressed my thumb against theirs.

Fon told me Mist Flames had the Construction Attribute, and that I could make a perfect replica of someone, going as far as replicating the voice or passing an ocular test to open a door.

I wasn't that far yet. However, I could let my flames make an imprint of his fingerprint and apply it to my own thumb. I couldn't keep this up for long, but I could do it.

I entered the base. Basically, the building was pretty regular looking, but inside was a door that led underground.

It wasn't long before I was in the security room. I sat down in front of the computers and cracked my fingers before getting to work.

Back when I was in China, I once went to Korea with Fon for a mission. Kyoya had just went back to Japan and my master thought, after so much time spent with him, I should see something else than China. It was simple, the parents of a boy around my age, people of the elite of South Korea, had hired us to protect them, and their son, from a Korean gang. We did, and the eleven-year-old, long hair dyed a bright pink behind his parents' back and flashy plastic jewels on him, told me with a grin I could call him for help in the future if I needed.

Oh, did I forget to mention he was a genius with computers? I wouldn't even be surprised if one day he just cracked the Pentagon security system because he was bored.

Anyway, all of this to say I wasn't Park Min-Jae.

But, I still knew how to hack. I seriously loved being a part of the CEDEF, not gonna lie. It felt good to be recognized for something else than raw power, you know?

"I'm ready," I whispered in my earpiece.

Immediately, I saw an explosion outside on one of the security cameras and deactivated the security.

Right, signal received Fon.

"Come on guys, hurry up!" I got up, turned around and ducked my upper body to avoid a punch. I threw my leg, with the weights still on, in the side of their knee, but they disappeared in a cloud of indigo mist.

"My, could the little mouse have grown claws?" I froze at the voice and gulped.

A scar on the cheek.

Purple hair.

Blue and brown eyes.

A terribly frightening yet familiar grin.

"Nick..." I whispered.

"I didn't really believe you could do illusions, but I wasn't expecting much either."

"What...I'm not going with you!" He laughed coldly.

"How cute, you think we care about what you want! The Boss wants you, I deliver." I tried to run away, old habit I used to have when I would be in front of him "Nine years, it has been nine years since we last saw each other and you still try to run? That's pathetic. No doubt why the Vongola and his Guardian died and you survived. You ran away and left them behind." I widened my eyes.

That…

That wasn't...I didn't run, Federico pushed me and…

I turned away, eyes deadly, cold fury cursing through my veins as I could feel the burning warmth of my wrath.

"I'll tear you apart trash," I spat icily, which made him smirk. I ran at him, my palm opened and flames covering it, sending it to him.

He dodged, and my flame made a hole in the wall behind. It was neat, the rest of the wall still standing unlike my early tries, and the concrete where the hole now was had completely been disintegrated.

Nick whistled.

"You made some progress after all." I engaged him in close range fight, knowing illusionists were usually bad at that. He saw it and dodged as much as he could, using illusions to make me screw up.

I saw through it. I could see through minor illusions, but it had never really been a main subject in my training. Having a Mist Flame and using it for illusions, big or not, already gave me an advantage in seeing through weak ones easily.

"The Flame of Wrath is not known for being easily controllable. It's more 'destroy everything', like Xanxus, don't you think?"

"Shut up!" I roared, somehow kicking him in the chest. I felt a rib crack under my foot, but he disappeared in mist.

I bit my lip when a hand grabbed my arm and just broke it as if it was a mere twig. I managed to get away, but no Nick was in the room.

Then, nausea hit me.

Fuck, I was trapped in the illusion.

I was punched in the nose, my poor nose breaking. I was thrown to the floor, but still managed to put my nose back in place in a loud 'crack'

I tried to lit my ring to find a crack in the illusion, but he took too much joy in beating me up, not giving me any time to break his illusion.

"Exploding Lotus Kempo!" A red dragon flew above me, breaking down the illusion space. It was just in time for me, laying on the floor, to stop Nick's knife between my feet. He raised his eyes, frowning at the sight of the baby behind me.

"I'm not fighting an Arcobaleno today. Until next time Dreckssack*." He was gone in a cloud of mist and I sat up. Fon hurried in front of me and checked my injuries. I wrinkled my nose, the blood around it still running down my face.

"He didn't hold back," Fon told me, my broken arm in his tiny hands, a small frown on his face.

"Hey Master, am I forgiven now?" He shot me an annoyed look and sighed, patting my knee.

"This is not the time nor the place to discuss this Luciana. Being angry at you does not mean I will let you die." I smirked.

"I hope so." I got up, still dizzy. "I hate fighting illusions..."

"Does someone copy?" I put my hand on my ear.

"Arro?" He was out of breath.

"Sorry, Hibari just disappeared out of my sight and I'm being overwhelmed here." I cursed under my breath.

"You need a hand?"

"I'm on it," Lal replied. "You two go get the brat before he gets himself killed."

"Kyoya won't be so easily killed," Fon commented, but I still ran after the baby when he sprinted away.

It was utter panic all around, unlike the calm there was when I infiltrated the place a few minutes ago. Smoke was filling the air, almost as if they were trying to delete traces of their presence here.

I widened my eyes, grabbed my gun and shot the guy, who had Kyoya on his knees. He dodged my bullet, but it was enough for Kyoya to get his tonfas back and slammed them both in the guy's torso. He spat blood, and Kyoya viciously hit him in the jaw next, breaking it in a loud 'crack'.

"You murderer," Kyoya spat icily, anger almost pouring out from him. I perked up and that and Fon tensed.

That man…

He was Kyoya's mom killer.

What happened next was a blur.

One moment we were outnumbering the man, the other he had backup and I was fighting off as much people as I could, killing them easily.

But I did not have a great stamina. I dropped on one knee when I was out of breath, ready to take my inhalator, but someone just destroyed it when it was in my hand. I looked at it on the ground, eyes wide in shock as it was getting harder and harder to breath.

Hopefully, Fon landed in front of me. One look at my useless medicine actually made him curse.

"Luciana, you are going to use your Mist Flames and picture yourself breathing just fine," he almost hissed at me quickly.

"I...I..." I stuttered with difficulty, lighting my ring with difficulty.

"Right," he continued, killing another man by punching the side of his neck with enough strength to break it. "Breath in and breath out, you can breath just fine." I did as he told me, Fon protecting me as I had a hand on my chest, desperately trying to breath.

The smoke in the air was not making it better.

Eventually, Fon just blew the roof up. I avoided the debris falling on us, but somehow my head still received a shock. I grunted, now recognizing the feeling of a concussion. I had to stop getting these. I could breath approximately now, but the head…

"Down!" Kyoya went down and my flame burned down a huge piece of concrete about to fall on him. The light blinded the man in front of him, surprisingly still standing, and Kyoya killed him for good by hitting his head with his tonfa.

I dropped on my knees, a hand on my head. I was bleeding.

"Carnivore," I raised my head to Kyoya, too fast as my vision was spinning. I blinked several times to get it right. "I didn't need your help." He knelt and put something on my head.

"Shush, I felt like being benevolent to your oh so sympathetic ass Kyoya." He scoffed, clearly struggling to keep his eyes opened. He was in a bad shape too after all. "For a first time on such a fight, you did a good job Kyoya." He scoffed again. "I'm still better though."

"I'll bite you to death." I chuckled.

"You better catch up fast then," I mumbled, my eyes closing on their own as I passed out.

There were hushed voices around me. Someone was drinking something too loudly too.

It was annoying.

Especially now it was a lot closer.

"I'll fucking kill you trash," I grumbled in Italian. There was a soft laugh.

"Love you too Lulu." I growled and opened my eyes, seeing the white ceiling above me. Okay, I was in a hospital then. I turned my head to Arro, who grinned, but the relief in his eyes was very much obvious. "You gave me quite a scare." I tried to roll my eyes, but they were stuck on the two other boys in the room. Arro saw it. "Ah, well Shamal came to the hospital to take care of you and they followed. Hibari's fine, everybody is."

"Senpai!"

"Not so loud Tsunayoshi," I mumbled as Arro went to sit in the chair as the two boys came next to my bed.

"They said it was your asthma but there is more! There is!" the kid kept rambling, eyes wide in panic. I shot Takeshi a look, who shrugged. I sighed.

"Calm down," I whispered in a hoarse voice. "Just...calm down...I'm still alive." He gaped.

"You're in the hospital!" Well, yeah. "Kyoko-chan wouldn't stop crying!"

"So that's why you're throwing a tantrum?" He blushed heavily and Takeshi laughed.

"She got you here Tsuna!" Tsunayoshi tried to say something, but ended up lowering his face in a growl. Takeshi laughed again and bent down to my level, his mouth next to my ear. "I don't care what you say, next time I'm coming that you want it or not," he whispered harshly in my ear, pinching my hand. He straightened back, a grin on his face but his eyes dead serious.

"Oh Lulu, I thought you and Hibari had a thing but you prefer younger guys?" I deadpanned at him as Takeshi blushed, rubbing the back of his head. Tsunayoshi seemed to already be done with Arro, even…

"Wait, you speak Japanese?" Arro blinked and frowned, apparently his pride was hurt I thought otherwise.

"Well yeah, you live in Japan now, I wasn't going to rely on you to be understood." His accent was thick, a lot more than mine, but American and not Italian. If anything, sometimes he had an American accent when he was speaking Italian.

"I need something to eat," Tsunayoshi muttered, going to the door. To everyone's surprise, the door was opened. I was relieved to see Fon, of course.

He was standing on Iemitsu's shoulder though, and Tsuyoshi was behind him. Tsunaoyoshi stopped, obviously.

"Dad?" he muttered weakly.

"Iemitsu?" Arro said at the same time. My best friend and charge exchanged a look. "'Dad'?"

"'Iemitsu'?" Tsunayoshi said, again in sync with Arro. Iemitsu laughed.

"Well, this isn't the best situation! It's quite awkward actually!" He patted his son on his shoulders. "You grew up well Tsuna!"

"What the...I thought you were dead!" I raised my brows.

"Come on Tsuna! Your old man won't bite the dust so easily!" I wasn't going to discuss this matter, Iemitsu was incredibly strong despite his stupid looks. I sat up.

"You sure know how to make an entrance, don't you Iemitsu?" Tsunayoshi turned wide eyes to me as his dad walked up to me and hit me in the back, the oxygen mask on my mouth flying in my lap.

"And you know how to get a good old concussion, don't you Luciana!?" he replied in Italian. "The Ninth doesn't know I'm here, neither does Reborn of your brother." I raised a brow. "It is CEDEF business." I sighed in relief.

"Wh...Dad, you speak Italian? No, you know Ana-senpai!?" I silently wished good luck to my Boss as he took a deep breath before turning to his son.

He grabbed him and pulled him out of the room.

"Dad, you know Tsuna's dad?" Tsuyoshi laughed nervously, shooting me a quick glance.

"You could say it like that. Come on, let's go home." Takeshi looked at me and left with his dad.

"Wait Lulu." I looked up at Arro, who still had wide eyes. "You mean the scrawny kid who's been pulling at his hair for the past hour is the Vongola Tenth!?" I nodded. "Fuck, we're all doomed!"

"Yeah, probably dude." I raised a brow when I felt a weight on my bed. I looked down and gulped at the smiling Fon. "A...Arro?"

"Ciao!" He almost ran out of the door and I finally noticed he was limping. I took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark about Hide!" I started quickly. "I wanted to call you, but Kyoya literally pinned me to the ground and when I realized it was his father and he wanted to deal with it on his own I had to respect that because the Estraneos had been after me and I kept it to myself and..."

"And where did that lead us?" I shut my mouth and he sighed. "Kyoya already told me his version. Although I am still mad at your recklessness, both of you, I know why he didn't want to call me." I breathed out, a hand on my chest. "You are both alike. I'm impressed Kyoya still have respect for you."

"I guess I met him at an age where I could impress him and he could impress me." He chuckled behind his sleeve.

"I suppose so."

"You know, Reborn wants to train me."

"I know, this is the reason he called me years ago." I raised a brow. "He wouldn't have been able to teach you how to properly control your Flame of Wrath and the potential anger issues that come with it." I snickered.

"Unbelievable." He patted my hand.

"However, because of the situation, I had to claim this town." I blinked in confusion. "The CEDEF actually did the same and I came to an agreement with Iemitsu. Kyoya and you will keep working together."

"Whatever, I'm not the one hating on crowds."

Tsunayoshi came out of nowhere near the end of visit time, sitting in the chair next to my bed and not a saying a word, his chestnut hair hiding his eyes.

"Iemitsu told you everything?" He clenched his fists on his pants.

"I...I am the heir of a Mafia Family?" I stared at the ceiling. "The only one alive? My dad ordered you to watch me? Is it...is it..."

"True, unfortunately." He took a shaky breath and raised betrayed eyes on me.

"You...my father told me you were ordered not to make contact with me so...why?" I sighed.

"Well, indirectly it is my fault if you're in that position now. If I had been better, Federico..." I pinched the bridge of my nose. "I...I really don't like bullying. I have been bullied when I was too weak to defend myself, and my brother was bullied too. I used to always have a first-aid kit in my bag to patch him up. He...he's so clumsy too." I chuckled, Dino's warm smile in my mind. "You remind me a lot of him, so I couldn't leave you in that situation." Tsunayoshi was painfully similar to Dino before Dad's death. "You don't want to be a Mafia Boss, do you?"

"Of course not! The Mafia is...is awful!" I smiled sadly.

"Three-quarter of it is. I can't blame you for not wanting the job."

"Yamamoto...he told me you asked him to keep an eye on me."

"Did you guys get in a fight?" He looked away. "I did. I didn't ask him to befriend you though, I was surprised myself. He guessed you were important, but I didn't tell him more than I was allowed to." I finally looked at him. "Sorry for everything that's falling on your shoulders." He gulped.

"I...Mom doesn't know anything!" He was angry. Angry at his dad. "He was working in...in that field for so long and never told us anything!"

"He was heartbroken to be in Italy," I whispered weakly, getting Tsunayoshi's furious eyes on me.

"Are you defending him!?"

"No, it's...fuck. Iemitsu, for the shitty father and husband he's been to you and your mom, is a great Boss. But...Nono's sons were not supposed to die after they've been raised in the Mafia, you should have never been involved in this mess and Iemitsu must have thought the same thing and tried to keep you two safe." Tsunayoshi chuckled bitterly.

"It's hard to believe after he told me we were descendants of Primo."

"Well, maybe your dad didn't have a choice either?" He blinked, taken back. "I don't know everything about him, but I know in the Mafia, your parent can just die on you at any moment." I fidgeted a little, trying to get more comfortable in my pillow. "Why are we having that cheesy conversation by the way?"

"I wanted to hear it from your mouth." He stood up. "By...by the way...how could that baby talk so well?"

"Fon?" He nodded and I snickered. "Trust me Tsunayoshi, you'll have plenty of time to wonder about how a baby can talk so well!" He paled.

"I'm not going to like that, will I?"

"I'll accept your sobbings in my humble home once a week." He paled even more. "My brother survived though, you should survive too." I narrowed my eyes at him in thoughts. "I think."

"Senpai!" I chuckled.

"Are you mad at Takeshi? He...he's happy to be your friend you know." He averted his eyes to the side and I sighed. "In any case, I'll stay in Namimori to keep an eye on you until I'm told otherwise, so even if you're mad at me, keep that in mind. I'm your fucking babysitter." I smirked. "Even if in a few months, you'll wish I remained the only one to keep an eye on you."

He left without saying anything and my phone rang.

"Hey."

"Hey, how you're doing sis?" I remained silent, staring at my hospital room, me unable to leave my bed. "Luciana? Are you okay?" I put my best fake smile on my face.

"I'm fine Dino!" I couldn't help but clenched my hand in front of the oxygen mask on my mouth because I still had trouble breathing on my own. My arm was in a cast and my phone between my ear and shoulder. "What's up?"

"Me? Nothing in particular, Reborn is being harsher than usual. I'm calling for something actually."

"Which is?"

"You're coming home this summer. She...the doctor said she was ready to see people. Her mind is stable enough." I blinked sheepishly at the blank wall in front of me.

"I see. I...you'll be with me?"

"Of course, I'm not leaving you alone with her unless that Xanxus is with you, and still." Oh? It was the first time Dino openly said I was Xanxus' sister. I knew that day he had been listening mine and Reborn's conversation, but I never knew how much he had heard. "By the way, why is your voice...weird?"

"The oxygen mask," I replied blandly, the palm of my hand hitting my forehead right away.

"Wait what? You're in the hospital!? Ana, you said you were fine, what happened!?"

"Nothing, I dropped my inhalator too many times and it broke, had an attack but was brought to the hospital. It's no big deal." It was silent on the line.

"Ciaossu Bakana." I almost growled. "Dino is currently panicking and Romario is keeping him from booking a flight to Japan. You seem fine."

"I am! Reborn, keep that moron from getting on a plane!"

"Is that an order?"

"No, it's a...come on, it can't be good if he comes now!"

Dino didn't come. I heard ruckus on the phone, and Romario greeted me and told me they had to hang up.

Reborn kicked the shit out of my poor brother, didn't he?
