Nimaigai Sutajio (Clams Studio)

Time: Morning of 6:03

Wide caramel eyes observed the narrow green eyes that belonged to a boy who seemed to be around his age. The silver-hair boy clicked his tongue as he glared at him. Tsuna was surprised to see such harsh bitter glared that is directed toward him. The petite model glanced away, feeling uncomfortable as he wasn't sure why the silver-hair boy seems to hate him. 'I never meet him before, so why doesn't he like me?' he mused with a frown. It reminds him of his school, where his peers just don't like him just because.

"There she is." Tsuna snapped out of it and turned his attention to Elena who found the photographer. The petite model glanced over where Elena was looking at. The photographer walked up to them with a sweet smile on her face. She looked like a mid-teen but the aura around her showed that she is a lot older than people think. Her hair is long straight light blue with messy bangs that frame her face, dark blue eyes, fair skin, and wears blue tank top with black short-sleeve crop shirt over it with sparkling dolphin on the side, jeans mid-thigh shorts, black knee-length boots with five inches heels, and multiplies bracelets of different colorful seashells wrapped around both of her wrists. Judge by her appearance, it showed she adores seas.

The blue-hair photographer arrived. "Hello, my name is Bluebell, the photographer for the Vongola Gems project." She introduced herself friendly.

"Nice to meet you, Bluebell-chan. My name is Yun, Sora's manager." Nana introduced herself politely.

Tsuna bowed as well with a shy smile. Bluebell leaned forward to the petite model, they both are roughly the same heights, except Bluebell wore heels that made her slightly taller than Tsuna. "Not bad." Bluebell hummed after she carefully examined the tiny model's appearance then smiles.

The photographer turned to Elena. "Where's my other model?" she asked with curiosity.

"He's here. Chrome, will you get him?" Chrome nodded her head and fetch the model right away.

Nana turned to Bluebell. "Is there a story behind the Vongola Gems?"

"Yeah, but they are short tales. I'll explain when everyone is here." Bluebell promised.

After a few minutes, Chrome arrived with a silver-hair handsome model. Elena smiles as she introduced the model for everyone in the present. "This is Gokudera, Hayato."

"Hayato, this is Sora-chan, your partner and this is Yun, Sora's manager." Elena added.

Nana smiles as she bowed friendly and Hayato greeted the manager back politely. Then he narrowed his eyes at Tsuna with unwillingly greeted as well when Elena shot him a warning glared. Tsuna bowed back awkwardly.

"And I'm Bluebell, your photographer." The blue-haired woman said then clapped her hands, feeling excited. "Alright, now that everyone is here. I will tell you the tale. This is a Garnet Gemstone tale, it's about a mortal girl and an immortal boy fell in love, however, it's forbidden romance. They both have real love, although, they won't stay together for very long. In the end, the immortal boy returns to his world, leaving the girl she loved behind." She explained, it is a rather short story as she did inform them. Bluebell turned her head over her shoulders. "Jo-chan will take care of the male models' make-up and Minami-chan will take care of Sora." The make-up Artists leads the models to a different dressing room.

Meanwhile, Bluebell showed the managers to the set where the modeling takes place. It's a black screen, with a few props and furniture on the side away from the set, just in case. "We will use this set for the project." The photographer said as she received the camera from the staff. She double checks the camera and hummed with satisfied.

After twenty minutes or so, the models arrived. Tsuna wore a white strapless knee-length dress, his caramel waist-length hair is freely flowing from any accessories and styles, and he is barefoot. Next, to him, Hayato wears red silk button shirt with a few unbutton top that showed off his collarbones, and his sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, black jeans, and barefoot.

"Good." Bluebell nods her head after she examined her models. Then turned to one of the staffs. "Get the number one box." The staff immediately obeyed.

When the staff got what the photographer wants. The staff opened the lid for the blue-haired woman, she leaned forward to pick up a vintage silver-gold tiered chain belt with garnet stones. Bluebell beckons the petite model who obeyed, the photographer gently placed the belt around Tsuna's hips and properly tied it. Then the blue-haired woman returns to the box, grabbed a silver-gold garnet gemstone index ring, she handed to Hayato who not unkindly took it and placed it in his left index finger.

"Alright, now I want you two to go stand there, in the set and pose as much as you can. Remember, we want people to notice the jewelry." Bluebell reminded her models then test her camera a few times. Click. Click. Click.

In the set, Sora and Hayato walked in the set and it was uncomfortable for both of them. Hayato clicked his tongue as he rolled his shoulders then observed the petite model quietly.

Sora bit her lip nervously as she fidgeted her feet. The silver-haired model sighed mutely. "There are a few poses we can do…" he trailed off.

"Well, we are partners so… I trust you." Sora decided to trust her partner since he has more experiences than her.

Hayato was surprised to hear it from the petite model. He never met any female models trust him before since they always want to get 'chummy' with him. However, Sora just stood there and stared at him with innocent and trustful eyes.

"…alright." Hayato whispered with soft cautioned yet mindful. He went behind the petite model, carefully moved her hair over her left shoulder. And he gently placed his left hand on Sora's stomach as his right hand touches her waist, close to the belt. Hayato placed his chin on her bare right shoulder and her back is leaned against his chest.

Sora blushed heavily at this posture. After a couple of minutes in the position, Hayato then leaned back and bend down his knees. He wrapped his arms around Sora's below her hips, his forehead leaned against her side as his one eye glanced at the camera. While Sora lifted her hand to cover her mouth as her other hand gently touch her partner's hair.

Then, the position changed once again. Hayato stood on his feet, pushed Sora's hair back and turned her side way slightly so the belt is showing the camera perfectly. He placed Sora's arm around his neck, and he grabbed her free hand to entwined fingers to show off his garnet ring as his other arm wrapped around her waist. Hayato stared solemnly straight at her eyes.

It's a rather interesting posture for Hayato and Sora. Click. Click. Click.

Elena and Chrome were stunned to see the silver-haired model doing such intimate poses that he actually volunteers on his own. "…am I drunk?" Elena asked her assistant with a serious face.

Chrome sweatdropped, but she shook her head as her answer.

Nana is watching the poses quietly with a small smile. 'Leave it to Tsu-kun to break Gokudera-kun's wall down.' She mused with proud.

The photographer is enjoying this as she kept snapping her camera. Click. Click. Click.

Back to the set; Hayato frowned softly. "Now, I need you to take action." He decided to test the model.

Sora bit her lip as she attempts to think of any poses that would be satisfied for her partner, the photographer, and the managers. 'It's not about us, this is more about the jewelry.' Then she remembered the certain pose from the magazine last month from the store when she was shopping with her mother. 'If I do that, then I could alter it a little.'

The petite model gently released herself from Hayato, then she faces him as her side is showing the camera. She leaned her forehead against her partner's chest, with her eyes closed as her hands are clasped together close to her chest. Hayato immediately knew what Sora is trying to do. So, he placed his hands on her arms, luckily, his left-hand is facing the camera. It's a rather beautiful yet innocent hug, and Hayato relaxed his shoulders. 'she didn't try anything suspicion…' he closed his eyes as he hit his face against on top of his partner's hair. Click. Click. Click.

"Perfect." Bluebell praised her models with a proud smile. "Good job, Sora-chan, Hayato-kun!" she beamed at them. While the staffs went to the models, gently to remove the jewelry and returned in the box safety.

The blue-haired woman turned to Elena who is still stunned. "Where's the other model?"

"Uh, he'll be here in a few minutes." Bluebell understood.

Nana went to her son. "You did a wonderful job, Sora-chan." Tsuna smiles at his mother.

"…you're not bad for an amateur model." Hayato glanced at his partner from the corner of his eyes. Tsuna turned to him with a surprised look then he smiles warmly.

"Thank you, Gokudera-kun." Hayato has a slight pink tint on his cheeks then he clicked his tongue in soft sharp then walked away to the table to grab a water bottle.

Meanwhile, Elena went to Nana as Chrome followed behind. "I never seen Hayato actually work with a model… rather… smoothly without any problems." The blonde-hair woman mentions.

Nana was surprising to hear it. "Really? But he looks professional and comfortable to work with Sora-chan." She said with a confused frown.

"Hayato has… rough experiences when it comes to unfamiliar models." Elena didn't elaborate, and Nana understood that people have their own secrets. "But, he seems like he is trusting your model… just…" Elena trailed off in disbelieved. "…who is she?"

Nana smiles mysteriously. "Sora-chan is Sora-chan, that is who she is." She simply answered.

Chrome carefully watching and listening as she glances at the petite model and silver-haired model. Somehow, she felt the air between them has somehow… calm.

"Elena-san!" Elena turned around and beamed.

"There you are Takeshi!" the tall model cute boy arrived with a grinning on his face. "Come with me." The manager leads the model to the photographer and Tsuna is. "Bluebell, meet Yamamoto, Takeshi." Elena introduced.

Takeshi glanced at the petite model with a wide smile. "Hello." He greeted friendly.

"Hi, my na-name is Sora." Tsuna bowed politely.

Bluebell observed the tall model. "You are wearing your costume, good." She is glad that it won't waste any more time. Takeshi wears silk button blue shirt with pushed-up sleeves to his forearms, black jeans, barefoot. The photographer turned to one of the staffs. "Please bring the number two box."

After the staff went to retrieve the box and opened the lid. Bluebell grabbed the vintage silver-gold with a sapphire tear-shaped diamond necklace. She went to the petite model, carefully placed it around his neck. Then she returns to the box, picked up a middle-finger silver-gold with sapphire gemstone ring. Bluebell hands it to Takeshi who gently took it and placed it in his right middle finger.

"Good, now listen." Bluebell makes sure she has everyone's attention. "This is Sapphire Gemstone tale, it's about a girl who has fallen for the merboy who turned into a human being for a short period of time. They are in love; however, the merboy has to return back to his sea and left the girl he loved behind." She explained another sad short tale. Then she lifted her camera. "Now, Sora-chan, Takeshi-kun, please go in the set and pose. Nice." Bluebell look through the viewpoint of her camera. Click. Click. Click.

In the set; Takeshi turned to his partner with a cheerful smile. "So, any idea?"

Sora blinked at his bubbly personality but smiles at him. "Well, we need to show the jewelry more clearly so…" she attempts to think any poses that were appropriate.

"Oh, I have an idea! We can do a happy hug?" Takeshi waits for his idea shot down as usual whenever he has worked with outsider models. However, much to his pleasant surprise when Sora nodded her head.

"We can do that."

The tall model blinked at her then grinned. "Really?" again, his partner nodded her head. "Great!" Takeshi immediately grabbed Sora's waist, raised her as her feet were dangling while Sora yelped in shock. The pose was rather innocent and cheerful.

Takeshi has his arms around her waist as his forehead rested on Sora's temple with a big smile. While Sora is in his arms, feet in the air, as her face were pink while her hand barely touch the necklace and other hand clung on her partner's shoulder. They have been in this pose for only a minute or so, then Takeshi gently set the petite model down on her feet.

The tall model chuckled happily. "That was fun." Sora's lips twitched with slightly amused.

"Any other ideas?" Sora asked, and Takeshi couldn't help but beam at his partner, placing her trust in him. It was a nice change for him.

Next pose, Takeshi stood close to his partner, he raises his right hand that shows off the ring as he carefully, gently combs Sora's hair. Sora stared up at his friendly brown eyes. Takeshi smiles at her which she returns happily back.

Then, Takeshi guides Sora to face the camera, and stood on her side, he used his right hand to reach the necklace. He hooks his index finger the chain and lifted slightly as the charm shifted a little, showing off more to the camera. Sora glanced at her partner from the corner of her eyes. They both held smiles as their aura is comfortable. Click. Click. Click.

"Nice job!" Bluebell lowered her camera with satisfied. "Alright, take thirty minutes breaks and we'll do the last set with all three models." She announced while the staff carefully took the jewelry from the models and placed in the safe box.

Takeshi grinned at Tsuna. "That was fun!"

"H-hai." Tsuna agreed with the tall model. It's was a rather nice and friendly pose with Takeshi.

"You should join us, for early lunch?" Takeshi offered.

Tsuna blinked in surprise but was nervous yet happy that he was offering to join and possibly gain new friends. "I would like that." He answered. The petite model glanced around to spot his mother and found her chatting with Elena.

"Come on." Takeshi placed his arm around Tsuna's shoulder who was taken aback. He knew that the tall model is friendly but not this friendly. 'But that's not a bad thing…' Tsuna mused.

Outside of the Nimaigai Sutajio (Clams Studio)

Time: Morning of 10:56

Tsuna got his early lunch, or he would call it, brunch as he followed Takeshi to the table where Hayato is. The silver-haired model glanced up and clicked his tongue. "What are you doing here?" he narrowed his eyes at Tsuna in slight suspicion.

"Maa, maa, it's fine. I invited her to join us, Hayato." Takeshi explained.

Hayato glared at Takeshi. "Don't call me that, you baseball idiot!" he hisses with irritated but Takeshi just laughed it off as he sat down.

Tsuna sweatdropped with nervous and concerned while sat down as well in cautioned. Takeshi unwrapped his rice onigiri and took a bite of it. Hayato huffed and went back to his salad and Tsuna opened the lid and stared at his brunch, tamago kake gohan. He took the chopstick and twirl his egg rice with it and enjoyed his simple yet good meal.

"How long have you been modeling, Sora-san?" Takeshi asked with curious after he swallowed his food. Hayato glanced at the petite model and return to his food, however, his ears are open.

Tsuna quickly mentally calculated. "I believe… it's almost been three months."

Hayato lifted his eyes at the petite model with contemplative. "That's actually impressive. Especially, when you did the product for the magazine in Japan, and from there, you did work with Arcobaleno. No one would get that kind of job so quickly, it usually takes months, years to get where you can get an offer from famous companies." He explained.

"That's right. It took us a year to get famous enough we have countless offers from a bunch of companies now." Takeshi mentioned.

The silver-haired model snorted. "That's because each of us is different with different goals. I'm surprised we all manage this far together."

Tsuna titled his head with curious and interested. "Wh-what do you mean by different goals?"

Takeshi grinned at the petite model. "Three years ago, before I was recruit by Vongola, I used to be in a baseball league for the youth. My dream was to become a baseball star."

"Oh… so, what happened?" Tsuna asked but regret when he saw Takeshi's eyes dimmed with sad. "A-ah! I'm sorry! You don't have to tell me!"

The tall model shook his head and smiles softly at Tsuna. "I got too stressed and overworked too much during practice. I broke my arm and couldn't play baseball for a while. Luckily, my arm was healed but the doctor told me that if I continue the way I did when I'm playing baseball. My arm will become weak before I turn twenty in the future and possibly unable to play." His brown eyes stared off in the distance. "It was awful to hear such news, to think I won't be able to become a baseball star all because I was too careless about my health…" he shook his head. "The Vongola CEO saw me from the sports magazine and decided I was fit for the position in the Guardians group. Not only they discovered that I can model, but I also can dance and sing." He smiles at Tsuna.

'…why does it look like he is wearing a fake smile?' Tsuna mused with thoughtful while Hayato was the quiet entire time.

"Anyways! Hayato wanted to become a famous pianist!" Takeshi changed the topic and Hayato glared at the tall model.

"Oi, baseball idiot! Don't go blab to anyone about my personal life!" he snapped as he is itching to throttle the tall model who laughed happily.

Tsuna blinked. "Oh? Mama and I always listen to pianist music once a week." He blurted it out then blushed. 'Oops…'

Hayato and Takeshi turned to Tsuna with bemused and curious. "Who?" the silver-haired model asked.

"W-well, we don't know." Tsuna rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "It was online, from Tokyoutube video, there are few good songs, but I personally like, 'Ghost's Touch', it was… very expressive and touching. I believe there's a true story behind this music, but I never got to find out who is the pianist and it was rather old, I think it's seven or eight years old?" he added the last part in confused.

"Eight years." Hayato suddenly speaks up with solemn. "It's been eight years since that song was out."

Takeshi blinked at his friend. "You know that song?" he was confused since he doesn't seem to be familiar with these types of song.

Hayato scoffed softly. "It's been years since I actually heard of that song." He is eyeing at Tsuna with a new light. "What do you think the story is about?"

"Hiiee? U-uh, I-I don't know… It's just my own imagination and it's probably false, anyway." Tsuna explained, nervously.

The silver-haired model shook his head. "I still want to hear it, whether the story is a fabrication or not." He stares intensely at Tsuna who fidgeted awkwardly. Tsuna glanced at Takeshi who is also interested, and he slumped his shoulders, resigned.

"A-alright… umm… whenever I listened to Ghost's Touch, it sounded like… the pianist has struggle and hard past. Like, someone who is important to a pianist. Someone he/she knew in the past, someone who is precious and treasure. But something happened, to that someone and its gone. So, the pianist is in pain, playing the song about someone who is gone from this world and felt the missing presence is close. Like a ghost touching the pianist…" Tsuna's face turned red as he felt silly, telling this story to the models.

Hayato stared at him emotionless, inside he was baffled that the petite model's theory is dead on. "…you got that just to hear the song?" he barely whispered.

Tsuna nodded his head with confused while Takeshi glanced at Hayato with contemplative eyes. The silver-haired model never thought there's someone else who can figure it out his story behind the song, and this is the kind of person who actually listens to the soulful music. 'She's the tenth person who figured my song out…' Hayato mused, something tells him that this petite model will be very important in the future and that he should be involved, otherwise he'll miss the new treasure.

"…can I be your friend?" Hayato blunted with a serious face.

Tsuna and Takeshi were stunned at this. "E-eh?" the petite model's eyes widen in shocked when Hayato stood up and bowed in perfectly ninety degreed. "Hieee! You don't have to bow! We can be friends!"

Hayato leaned up and beamed. "I won't disappoint you and make you regret, Tenth!"

"…tenth?" Tsuna furrowed his eyebrows at the odd nickname while Takeshi laughed happily. The tall model wrapped his arms around Tsuna and Hayato's shoulders.

"Looks like we're all friends now!" Takeshi said and Tsuna glanced at the tall model with surprise once again then smiles softly. '…two new friends!' he mused with excited.

Hayato hisses at Takeshi. "Don't get too chummy on Tenth!" he breaks away from the tall model and dropped the arm from Tsuna.

Hayato glared at Takeshi. "Maa, maa, there's no need to throw a hissing fit." He grinned.

"Hissing fit?! You stupid baseball idiot!"

"Hahaha, calm down, calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down!"

Tsuna sweatdropped at his new friends who are having… one-sided argument. And is it just him, or did Takeshi look like he is having fun for making Hayato's angry on purpose?

Meanwhile, Chrome has been watching and listening in the distance. 'I must inform this to Elena.' She mused, turned around and search for the manager/boss with a small smile on her face.

Nimaigai Sutajio (Clams Studio)

Time: Morning of 11:27

"Alright, now we will have both Garnet and Sapphire mashed into one story. As you know, there's an immortal boy and merboy, both love the mortal girl. They are fighting over the same girl until the mortal girl left them." Bluebell explained after she checked over her camera. "Now, get those boxes and you three will wear more pieces of jewelry this time."

Hayato wears a black leather choker with garnet gemstone, silver-gold garnet gemstone index ring, silver-gold skull earrings with garnet eyes, black leather bracelets filled with garnet stones wrapped around both of his wrists, silver-gold chain with a garnet gemstone that touches below his heart, and double red belts of a gemstone-shaped of a cheetah buckle.

Takeshi wears sapphire tear-drop earring in his left ear, a middle-finger silver-gold with sapphire gemstone ring, white leather bracelets with sapphires wrapped both of his wrists, a silver-gold ring that shaped of a bird wrapped around his right thumb, another silver-gold ring that shaped of a dog wrapped around his left pinky, and a silver chain necklace with cross pendant that reach below his heart.

Tsuna wears a vintage silver-gold tiered chain belt with garnet stones, vintage silver-gold with sapphire tear-shaped diamond necklace, black and white braided leather-made choker with garnet and sapphires stones, silver-gold bracelet with sapphires gems wrapped around his left wrist, silver-gold with garnets gems wrapped around his right wrist, and silver-gold mixture of garnet and sapphire earrings.

The three models wore fancy, expensive pieces of jewelry that matched their appearance. It caught all attention from others, who would've thought with a simple outfit with elegant accessories makes the models look so exquisite.

"Excellent, now head to the set." Bluebell lifted her camera and leaned back to snapping pictures. Click. Click. Click.

In the set; Sora stood in the middle of two male models. Takeshi lifted Sora's right hand while Hayato lifted her left hand. The petite model blushes softly when she noticed Takeshi placed her palm on his lips while Hayato pressed his lips on her inner wrist. Sora glanced down shyly.

After a few minutes, Hayato wrapped his arms around Sora's hip, her back against his chest while Takeshi leaned forward to grabbed Sora's necklace with his teeth carefully. Sora's eyes wide as Takeshi leaned back a little and half-grinned at her. His nose barely brushes against hers while Hayato leaned his chin against Sora's temple. It's a rather intimate pose.

Then, the next poses changed. Hayato bends down, rested his elbows on his knees, as he is close to Sora's leg. Sora's placed her hand on his hair while her other hand is entwined with Takeshi's hands. He beamed down at her as Sora's eyes glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.

And then another pose changed. This time, Sora stood, facing the camera while Hayato and Takeshi are facing the opposite with their side showing the camera as their backs on Sora. The petite model has her hands clasped with both models, almost as if she is holding hands with two lovers as her 'lovers' wasn't aware of the dark secret. Click. Click. Click.

Bluebell continued taking pictures as the models changed in different poses. Meanwhile, Elena, Nana, and Chrome watched from the background.

"…I feel like I'm watching two boys protecting the girl from any danger. That they become her guardians, in a way." Elena speaks up as her eyes shine with interested and amazed.

Nana's lips twitched with a proud yet amused smile. 'It seems that Tsu-kun gains more protectors.' Nana has noticed the Arcobaleno models have truly adored and protective of her son before they left Italy. Nothing can hide from the mother's eyes and ears when it comes to her child.

"Sora-chan is talented." Chrome speak up quietly with awed by the petite model's skill with two members of Guardians. Elena agreed with her assistant while Nana beamed at the praise for her son.

Then, Bluebell paused and speak up. "Yamamoto-kun, Gokudera-kun, please step out of the set. Sora-chan, I would like you to pose alone…. Hai, that's good." She went back to her camera and snapping photoshoots of a solo model in the set.

While Takeshi and Hayato stood back and allow the make-up artist to reapply their makeup in silent. When the make-up artists are satisfied and done, they walked away. Hayato has noticed that tall model has been glancing at him a few times. "What is it, baseball idiot?" Hayato glared at Takeshi with annoyed.

Takeshi folded his arms behind his head with a grinned as his eyes glint in thoughtful. "You wrote that song, the Ghost's Touch, eight years ago, right?" He asked with a statement, instead of a question.

"…shut up." Hayato whispered as he glanced back to the petite model, watching. The tall model hummed and went back to watch the solo model on the set in silent.

Meanwhile

Location: New York, USA

Vongola Company

Clam Dance Studio

A mid-twenties handsome man with golden blonde spiky hair, a lighter shade of orange eyes, fair skin, and wears a black business suit. His name is Giotto Vongola and he is currently watching a famous idol dancing with a new song. He was satisfied that the studio was in good shape and provide the best dance room for the idol.

Giotto walked out of the dance studio quietly, not to distract the idol's practicing. He walked down the hallway as he exchanged a professional smile and greeted the employees and staffs. Until he met one of his trustworthy friends who waited outside of his office. "Alaude." Giotto was surprised to see the silent man.

Alaude has platinum blonde hair, icy blue eyes, pale skin, and wears turtle-neck black shirt, dark gray trench coat that reached his knees, black slack, and black dress boots. The man tilted his head at the door that leads to Giotto's office. So, Giotto unlocked the door, walked in and Alaude followed. Giotto went to his desk and sat down on the leather rolling chair. "Is there something wrong?" the blonde-hair man frowned at his silent friend.

Alaude took out a folder from his inner trench coat, set it on the desk and push it toward Giotto. The blonde-hair man grabbed it, open and read the documents. Frowned appeared on his face. "What is this?" he glanced up at his friend.

"Someone was attempted to hack in Vongola's processor, doorknob from the back door is jammed, and the night vision surveillance camera is busted."

Giotto furrowed his eyebrows with concerned. "Did you find out the reason behind these problems?" he reread the document carefully.

"A sky." Alaude simply answered.

The blonde-haired paused. "…a sky…" he whispered as he remembered his grandfather mention about a possible new Cielo in Vongola Company. Not only that, but Arcobaleno Company is also interested in a Cielo as well. "I think I might know; however, I don't want to jump into a wild conclusion. I need the facts and hopefully, catch an offender before it does any real damage." He entwined his fingers as his elbow rested on the desk. "For now, I trust this stay between us and I hope you don't mind investigating this situation further, is that alright with you, Alaude?"

Alaude tipped his head, he is perfectly fine with it as he has experiences with this type of things. He turned around, walked out of the office and closed the door behind. Giotto's lighter shade of orange dramatically got darker as his frowned deepen in cold scowl. 'We can't afford to get another dilemma. Not after that Incident.' Because if it's going to be like that incident again, then everyone will be in pain, trouble will rise, tears will be shed, blood will be a spill, and chaos will bring misfortune. He truly hopes he is wrong… but he couldn't hope too much, that he'll have to prepare for it and discuss with his special friends.

But still… he hopes nothing will bring mayhem in the future, especially for Vongola. Otherwise… it will add another dark secret.
