Reborn: Hello Guys. First of we want to thank you guys for being patient with Star.
Tsuna: *looks over at Star and Akita who are curled up on the couch* It's kinda been a bit of roller coaster ride the last few months. With her grandpa, then she got some news about her grandma which wasn't good and she just recently had a really bad scare with her grandpa again. She has been trying her best to work on her stories when she can and she really appreciates the patience you guys have had waiting for these chapters. So thank you guys alot for waiting and your support.
Reborn: Star only own the idea for this story and her Oc.
Both:Enjoy.
"Sawada-kun?"
Tsuna looked over his shoulder as he leaned on the front desk. "Oh Rika-San? Going to the gym?"
"Actually I'm heading back to the room to shower." Rika said, adjusting the small bag on her shoulder. "What are you doing? We don't have to meet for another hour."
Due to the weather yesterday, their tour of a nearby vineyard was rescheduled for today. No one was really bummed out about it, it had given them a chance to explore the hotel.
"Actually I'm not going to the vineyard. A friend of Riboyama-sensai is having a birthday party for Akira and he invited me and the others." Tsuna said rubbing the back of his head. "I guess it's kind of like a thank you for babysitting Akira all the time."
"Oh."
Rika couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that the boy wasn't going to be there. After thinking it over, Rika had decided she wanted to get to know Tsuna. If she still had these feeling, maybe she would ask him out but for now she wanted to find out more about him. She shook her head and smiled at him.
"There will be other time." "It's a shame you guys aren't coming. I heard we might get to taste some of their wine."Rika said.
"Really?"
"Mhm. I hea-"
"Mama!"
The two of them looked over as Akira ran towards Tsuna,Reborn not far behind her. She definitely looked like a little princess that she was in the light orange dress Nana had bought her.
"Mama?" Rika asked, a confused look on her face.
Tsuna let out a nervous laugh as he knelt down and picked up the one year old. "Enma and the other made joking around one time about how I'm like Akira's mother since I watch her a lot."
"And he look a lot like her." Reborn added, smirking as the brunette blushed slightly.
"Really?" Rika asked surprised. She had heard a few of the girls wondering what Reboyama-sensai's late wife looked like. Miyuki had said something about how his wife wasn't really dead and he had just said that because she is dead to him.
Reborn nodded. "The both have the same hair and eyes."
"Mama." Akira giggled, patting her mother's cheeks with a bright smile.
Tsuna let out a sigh as Rika giggled softly.
"Well I better get going. I hope you guys have fun. I'll see you guys later." Rika said.
"Bye bye!" Akira said, waving to the girl as she walked away.
"So, do I really look like your late wife, Reboyama-sensai?" Tsuna asked, smiling slightly.
"Not just look like." Reborn said, smirking at the blush that spread across the teen's face as he leaned in. "Someday you will be."
Akira watched as her mother's face turned a bright red and tilted her head curiously. She didn't understand how her Papa could make him to that. A giggle left her as her parents shared a quick kiss.
"I saw that." Enma called out, grinning he walked passed them. "How scandalous! A teacher and his student. It's like something out of a dirty fanfiction."
Tsuna rolled his eyes. "You're just jealous."
The red head snickered as the other walked over and joined them.
"By the way, where is the party?" Takashi asked.
"It's at a local aquarium." Tsuna said, shifting Akira on his hip. "Originally it was going to be at the zoo, but my dad instantly changed it to the aquarium after he found out that Akira visit Namimori's practically once a month."
He had tried to get his father just to have a small party but of course it went in one ear and out the other. After all, it was highly unlikely that Akira would remember the aquarium at all.
Also the thought of the Vongola in a place with a lot of glass and gallons of water was a little unnerving.
~KHR~
"Um…Reborn did say not to get her all lot of stuff,right?"
Dino let out a nervous chuckle, nodding as he, Fon and Colonnello stared at the massive pile of gifts. Some of the larger pressenst had been place on the ground next to the table.
"I'm pretty sure most of this from Iemitsu." Colonnello said. "Lal was complaining about how he was blowing the budget on gifts Akira probably won't even be able to play with at her age. She also reminded him that Tsuna had said to keep it small, but as you can see that failed."
"Well, Akira is his precious and only granddaughter, it's supposed his duty to spoil her rotten I guess." Dino said rubbing the back of his neck as he looked at one particular present. "But he does know that Akira doesn't like teddy bears right?"
"I've told him that about million times, but he insist she dose." Lal said walking over to them with Matthew on her hip.
"I see. By the way I have Skull's present for her." Fon said, gesturing over to the orange, four-in-one tricycle. "He told me to tell Tsuna he is sorry to he can't attend but he has a stunshow or something."
"It's better than the one Iemitsu bought her." Lal said. "I'm pretty sure most of this stuff is getting returned or given away."
"Mama down." Matthew said, bouncing in his mother's arms.
Lal sighed as she set the boy down. The one year old waddled over to the pile of present, staring at them with wide eyes.
"You know.." Dino said, looking around the room. "I'm surprised that Iemitsu let the Varia come."
"Actually,Nana invited them." Timoteo said with a smile as he joined the small group. "She said Akira would be upset if her favorite uncle wasn't there."
Lal snickered softly as she remembered watching the blond try to talk his wife out of inviting them but it was all in vain.
"I know this isn't really the time for this but I rather speak to you about this now then before Tsunayoshi and the other arrive." Timoteo said, looking at Dino. "I take the you've also received an invitation to the Tutore Gala."
Dino nodded. "I haven't sent a response on if I will attend or not."
The alliances between his familia and Tutore spand back almost as long as the one with the Vongola. Not to mention, Dino had known both Lillian and Antonio on a personal level. Lillian had been his babysitter when he had been a child and she used to bring Antonio along with her. When he had heard about their sudden death, it had felt like a knife to the heart.
"I was hoping you would be attending. I received this a few day ago." The elder man pulled out a envelope and handed it to Dino. "It's from Adrian. He wished to meet with me."
Dino opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. It seemed like a simple letter, mentioning how it had been so long since Adrian had spoken with with his godfather. It mention how he apologizes for not inviting the Vongola to his gala and how he would like to speak to him, to catch up and talk about some things. A frown spread across Dino's face at the mention of bringing the Vongola Decimo along.
"I don't this is a coincidence that he sent me that letter. He is planning something." Timoteo said as Dino handed him the letter back. "I've asked Emilia to increase security around the villa that Tsuna and the other will be staying at."
"Do you think the information the was leaked could have been something about Akira?" Lal asked, looking down at the little blond haired boy who was hugging her leg.
As a parent herself, she could imagine how Reborn and Tsuna, that is if Reborn told Tsuna, feeling right now. Know that there was a possible threat to your child, the protective nature in every parent goes into overdrive. There was also no doubt in her mind that the two of them would burn down the world if any one dare threatened their daughter, along with some help from Vongola and its close allies.
"While Iemitsu says that the leaked information could be anything,I'm not dismissing the idea of that being it." Timoteo said,a serious expression on his face. "I'm not taking any chances with the selection in a few weeks."
~KHR~
"This wine was actually serves at the reception of one Vongola boss's wedding." The tour guide explained as he held up a bottle the group student of Namimori High.
"That impressive. Don't you think so Miyuki?" One girl asked, looking at her friend.
Miyuki just huffed and looked away, frowning as she crossed her arms.
"Any idea why your cousin is in a bad mood?" Akio quietly asked Rika.
"I think she is upset that Riboyama-sensai didn't come on the tour." Rika said, rolling her eyes at the childish behavior of her cousin.
Akio nodded. "Now that you mention it, I think Kyoko-chan and some other people are missing."
"Sawada-kun said that Riboyama-sensai was taking him and his friends to a party."
A frowned spread across Aiko's face. "Why would he take Dame-Tsuna to a party?"
"It was a thank you for watching Akira-chan. He seems pretty good with her." Rika giggled as she remembered the smile on the toddlers face when she saw Tsuna. "and Akira really like him."
Akio shrugged as their tour guide lead them out of the storehouse and into the vineyard.
"Hey Akio.." The brown haired girl looked over at her friend. "You...You've been in the class as Sawada-kun since middle school right. Has he always been called Dame-Tsuna?"
"Well, Yeah. He's never been really good at anything. He always shitty grades, sucked at sports, tripped over his own feet." Akio said, counting on her fingers before shaking her head. "I remember there were a few times he ran around in his boxers for a months."
Rika raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Yeah. It happened often. Why do you ask?"
Aiko raised an eyebrow as a pink hue spread across her friend's cheek. Rika rubbed the back of her neck as she looked away.
"I-I was just wondering. H-He seems like a nice guy, so i was curious to why everyone kinda seems to pick on him alot." She let out a mental sigh as Aiko nodded. There was no way she was going to tell her friends about her slight crush.
What she didn't know was that her cousin had overheard her conversation.
~KHR~
"Look, Principessa, it's mama."
Tsuna gave his smirking lover a look as he pointed to a large Tuna swimming in one of the tanks. Akira looked at the fish with wide eyes, her little face pressed up against the glass. While he didn't find the hitman's joke funny, the confused look on his daughter's face was quite adorable.
"Mama?" Akira asked, looking between the fish in the tank and Tsuna.
"I'm mama. Papa is just being silly, my sky." Tsuna said, kneeling next to her.
"You think your father is still sulking?" Reborn asked, smirking.
Tsuna shook his head with a smile. When they had arrived, Akira had run toward her grandpa, who was almost in tears. Of course, she wasn't running to him, rather to Xanxus who was behind him. Reborn, Colonnello and a few other broke out laughing at the shock and brokenhearted look on the CEDEF boss's face as Akira cuddled one of most dangerous men in the mafia world.
"Maybe. He'll be fine." Tsuna said, watching as Akira moved over to another tank.
After greeting everyone and grabbing a quick bite to eat, they decided wonder around the Aquarium with Akira for a bit before heading back so she could open a few presents. It was amusing to watch the toddler stare at the underwater creatures with wide eyes full of curiosity.
"She is getting bigger each day." Tsuna said softly as they followed her.
Reborn nodded. "It's hard to believe it been a year now. Pretty soon, she'll be finding her own guardian's and getting ready to take over the Vongola." Seeing the eighteen year old tense, he wrapped his arm around Tsuna's shoulder and pulled him close. "Relax, we still years before that happens. Besides the mafia might be the least of our worries."
"That's right, we'll also have to deal with boys, dating and…"The hitman's raised an eyebrow as Tsuna suddenly got quiet.
"Tsuna?"
"...her parents…"
Their eyes drifted over to Akira, who was looking up at brightly color fishes. It was still off, but when she is older, they knew she would asked question. Depending on how old she is when she asked, they could alway say the famous 'We'll tell you when you older.' or how the stork drop her on their doorstep, but that would only work for so long.
"Mama, un!" Akira giggled as she pointed to a bright yellow fish. "Un,un! Papa!"
Reborn pressed a kisses against Tsuna's head."We'll worry about it when it comes to that, but no matter what she is ours."
Tsuna nodded, the hitman's word taking some weight of his chest, before kneeling next the toddler. "You're right. It yellow like the sun, my sky."
Akira blinked before pouting. "No,Mama un! un!"
"Which one are you pointing to, Principessea?" Reborn asked after sharing a confused look with Tsuna.
They followed the direction of Akira's finger, realizing that she was pointing bright yellow rock. The smile Akira gave them shined just as bright as the sun, if not more. Unable to help himself, Tsuna picked her up and hugged her tightly, kissing her cheek. Reborn smirked slightly as Akira giggled, babbling in her own language as Tsuna nodded, pretending to know what she was.
"How about we go and tell Nonna all about the sun rock? I'm sure she'll love to see it." Tsuna said, standing up with Akira in his arms.
As they walked back, Akira started over her mother shoulder, gripping her mother shirt, as she looked towards where her sun was. Only her sun wasn't the bright yellow rock in the tank…
It was the little boy on the other side of the tank.
