Hey guys! As promised, i made it up to you guys for being a little late and also, to make it up, i put three of the next top voted characters to make an appearance! And there might be less romance now since the plot is now starting and it's going to get really serious after ?...?...?...find clues about what Cielo's identity is.

I'm sorry for those who did not like the previous chapters that had no plot line whatsoever, but it was the only way i could bring all27 before eveything starts too serious! I'm sorry though! T_T it is my first time writing a fanfiction, so i hope you can all be patient with me!

And as i said, the plot will now take place and people will start getting suspicious of Cielo, but that doesn't mean they will not become infatuated with him. The more mysterious the more romantic right?

Well,Thank you all for the reviews and your honest opinions as well! I hope you enjoy this chappie!

Now, on with the chappie!

Chapter 8

Fon noticed a few differences when he saw Reborn. No, it wasn't major or anything drastic, but it was so slight, that he wouldn't have caught the new 'changes' that was going on with his comrade. For once, it seemed that Reborn was always spacing out. During meetings, at dinner, when they're just spending even the littlest time together, since Takeyoshi didn't allow anyone to get out within his reach.

So, he noticed Reborn's eyes that had a far away look, as if wanting to meet someone and just spend time with them. Reborn's face was always blank, and no one else noticed but Fon could see the hitman sigh more, he was more...calm, you could say, and sometimes, he even saw the faintest of ghost smiles on the hitman's face. Fon did a double take once he saw the hitman running at full speed towards the door, just to get a delivery, and it turned out to be an espresso.

Of course it would be an espresso, but really, he never saw Reborn ran like the espresso was a gift from the gods. But that wasn't what caught him off guard, no, it was the statement that cme after Reborn took the first sip of the bitter beverage. 'I should just kidnap him...This taste like it came through the heavens' Fon almost choked on the tea he was drinking at that time, which the hitman only raised a brow at before shrugging and going back to drink the espresso.

Not only that, but Reborn seemed to be more...How should he say this? Calm...Well not calm, per say, but more composed and collected when meeting with people that pissed the hitman off. Reborn didn't shout as much or bullied Skull that much either, no matter how much the hitman seemed to want to, but every time Fon sees the Hitman about to snap, a flash of fear flickers in those dark, coffee-eyes that made Fon wonder of he was either losing his mind, or Reborn was actually changing.

Fon seriously needed Daemon, or even Verde to check if his friend was alright because Reborn was creeping him out, but not only that, he heard Reborn mutter something that piqued his interest. 'Cielo' . If his Italian was served correctly, which he had no doubts on, seeing he had been living in Italy for almost all his life, 'Cielo' means the sky. Fon sighed as he looked up from his tea to face the large, transparent dome-roof that had the clear view of the sky. What caused Reborn to change?

xxXX00O00XXxx

It wasn't only Fon that noticed some changes between their family, Hibari and Alude also saw a lot of changes that happened in Giotto. Usually, the man wouldn't have enough guts to actually say a snarky remark to Reborn, but as Hibari passed by the office to give his report to Giotto, because he will never respect or even acknowledge Sawada Takeyoshi's existence, he heard the young man and the carnivore arguing, again.

Hibari was seriously about to tear down the door because all he heard was Reborn's constantly teasing insults and the stutters of the blonde herbivore. But what caught his interest was when Giotto shouted at the Reborn with the Hitman striding out the room calmly with a smirk that said a whole lot of torture.

Now, what caused Giotto to shout at Reborn? Hibari didn't catch everything, but he heard the carnivore saying, 'Baka-Gio...Are you in love with Cielo? Please, don't tell me that you're already head over heels for the chibi...It's only been two weeks and your already dreaming about him and you...Baka-Gio, you are such a pervert...Too bad, never in your dreams would the Chibi fall in love with you' Hibari had to pinch himself to see of he was dreaming or not, since never, in Hibari's life did he here the blonde herbivore falling for someone. Hell, he never thought that the blonde herbivore was gay...Well not gay, but maybe bisexual, since Hibari did caught the blonde blushing at the magazine that Daemon showed Giotto once. What the magazine had, he didn't know, but he knew it was something to do with naked women...(No offence to women and girls out there! I'm a girl myself!)

And all he heard was 'Fuck you, you shit-face arrogant, son of a fedora fucking bitch-Not your mother- caffeine ass lover! And i am not in love with Cielo! I just like his cakes, that's all! Hibari widened his eyes by a millimetre hearing the blonde cuss like a sailor. God, was Hibari going mental or was he really hearing those words come out of the herbivore's mouth. It's not like the blonde didn't curse, believe him, the blonde curses a lot when it comes to his cousin and the melon-herbivore, but Giotto, the man who couldn't even say a word against Reborn-except complains about paperwork- actually cussed the hitman.

Hibari whistled quietly as he walked away, trying to figure out who 'Cielo' was and how it made the idiot-herbivore gain guts to cuss the man he defined as 'A worthy Carnivore'

xxXX00O00XXxx

Now, Alaude wasn't one that stuck his nose up people's business, but as soon as he saw his cousin's smile, his idiot boss' daydreaming, and the Hitman's smirk that looked creepier than usual, since Reborn was more calm, and a calm Reborn is equal to a demonic Reborn, Oh, let's not forget the smile on his cousin's face. His anti-social, stuck-up, fight-lover, prick of a cousin was actually smiling, Alaude knew that something happened and if it caught those three's interest, that meant it was something worth finding out. Also, If he wasn't Alaude and he had been any lesser man, he would have jumped off a cliff since a smiling Skylark is equal to death itself.

So, Alaude became really frustrated with those three's attitudes before he took matters into his own hand. He decided to go and force his idiot boss and the carnivore to fess up before he 'arrests them to death for keeping information from him'. That actually was just an excuse, but hey! Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Alaude stomped through the halls as he glared at every passing maid and butler, the said maids and butlers running for their lives. He scowled at the weakness displayed by them as he truned his attention back to walking and just ignoring everyone when he bumped into someone. Oh no, no, no, no, no...you do not bump into Alaude if you value your life. Jeez, that's a rule that everyone should know, no matter how impossible it is. Thankfully, everyone did get it in their heads not to bump into the Skylark, less you want to end up in a coma.

Alaude turned to glare at the person in front of him but stopped as he saw the hitman smirking like he had just won the lotto. Alaude put on a blank face as he said "What do you want, carnivore?" Reborn's smirk just widened as Alaude's forehead twitched in annoyance. "I said...What do you want?" He growled as he brought out his handcuffs. "Answer me or be arreseted to death" he said as he glared.

Reborn's only answer was a deep and ominous chuckle as he looked at Alaude straight in the eye. "I know you want to ask me something" he said as he crossed his hand on his chest and casually leaned on the wall. Alaude raised a brow as he smirked. "Oh...And what makes you say that?"

Reborn chuckeled lightly as he motioned Alaude to follow him, Alaude begrudgingly following. They walked through the halls in silent and arrived at Reborn's office, Reborn opening the door and telling Alaude to go inside. Alaude was surprised when he saw his uncle and his cousin sitting imaptiently and glaring at every single thing each second, Hibari more so than Fon, Fon was just sitting there drinking tea as the man snapped his head towards their direction and smiled pleasantly. "Ah...Ni Hao, Alaude-kun...I'm guessing Reborn also told you to come here" he said as he put his tea down on the coffee table and patted the seat next to him.

Alaude raised a curious eyebrow before shrugging and plopping himself down beside his uncle, yawning a little bit as he relaxed on the sofa. Hibari scowled. "Well hello, cousin" he greeted sarcastically as he glared at Alaude. Alaude only rolled his eyes at his cousin's antics before replying "Fuck you too, cousin"

Hibari glared harder. "I'm sorry, but i'm not in to incest" he retorted as Fon almost spit out the tea he was drinking. Alaude smirked. "Oh, That's something new"

"Are you sure that you're not the one that wants to fuck a melon-head?"

A vein twitched in Alaude's temple as he glared at his smirking cousin. "I'm sorry, but i'm not in to melon-heads" Hibari's smirked widened. "And i quote what you said, 'That's something new'" Both glared at each other as static produced in their eyes, growling and hurling insults at each other. Fon smiled a little bit at his nephews greetings as he sipped his tea again. Reborn sat down in front of them, his legs crossed as he drank his espresso. He cleared his throat to gain attention from the two cousins, effectively shutting them up as they contented themselves into scowling.

"Now, if you two are finished your catfights, You all can ask me questions to satisfy your curiosity...And i know it, don't even try and fake those innocent looks...Now, shoot" said Reborn as he drank his espresso again, a contented sigh escaping his lips.

Fon smiled as he set his tea down the coaster. "As observant as ever, Reborn" he said. Reborn snorted as he rolled his eyes, saying "Of course I am, I'm the gretest hitman" Fon chuckled before sighing. "Alright, you caught me...Now I would like to know about the little change you are going through, Reborn my friend"

Hibari scowled, crossing his arms against his chest as he leaned back. "What is it about the idiot-herbivore being in love?/ Why are all of you acting wierd" was what Hibari and Alaude said at the same time. They both looked at each other and glared before Alaude stopped and stared at his cousin intently, Fon and Reborn just watching their interaction with curiosity and amusement.

Hibari glared , feeling uncomfortable from his cousin staring at him. "What are you staring at, herbivore?" He asked as Alaude glared at the nickname."What do you mean my idiot boss is in love?" Hibari snorted. "Excactly what i mean, right, Carnivore?" asked Hibari as he turned his attention back to a smirking Reborn. Reborn chuckled quietly as he stopped drinking his espresso. Fon looked at Reborn curiously. "Reborn?"

"Well, Baka-Gio isn't 'in love' per say, maybe a little infatuation, but I can't say for sure that he is head over heels for Cielo" started Reborn. Fon nodded, gesturing the Hitman to continue. Reborn smirked. "I have a proposal to you all" he said as all eyes locked gazes with him, Reborn only staring at Alaude. "Alaude, you will stay here until these two..." He said as he gestured towards Fon and Hibari. "Will do some...exploring, shall we say."Alaude raise a brow as he leaned back, crossing his legs. "And what's in it for me, Carnivore?" Reborn smiled a ghost of a smile as Alaude, Fon and Hiabri blinked to see if it was actually real. "Something interesting that would keep you, as well as all the Vongola occupied"

Hibari, getting annoyed with the Hitman always answering the questions without giving information, decided to butt in. "Just say what it is" he said with annoyance in his voice. Reborn tutted as he waved an accusing finger at Hibari. "Patience, Hibari. They said the Good things come to those who wait...However, all i can say is that it's an odd enigma" Hibari, Fon and Alaude's ears perked up hearing the word enigma.

Fon looked confused. "But why don't you just solve it on you own...You do, after all, always do that unconciously" Reborn laughed before looking at Fon in something akin to want. "I know, but this is a rare case...I can't crack him" Fon and Hibari's eyes widened. A person that the world's greatest hitman can't crack? That's impossible, whoever that person is, he must really be someone important.

Alaude smirked. "A person that you can't crack? Count me in..." He said as he stood up and walked towards the door. Before he left, he turned back and grinned and unholy smile. "And call me when I'm needed...But for now, I'm going to observe Giotto's...behaviour" he said as he clsoed the door, Fon blinking as he pointed towarsd the direction Alaude left. "He does know that that's practically stalking Giotto, right?" He asked as he glanced at the two occupants. Hibari snickered a little bit as Reborn smirked.

"Well, what do we do, Carnivore?" Asked Hibari, now that he was finish snickering.

"That's right, What shall we do now, Reborn?"

Reborn hummed in thought before nodding, seeming to think that his next action was a good idea. He grabbed a piece of paper as he wrote on it, tossing it to Fon who caught it gracefully and stood up, smirking all the way. "Find out the rest for yourselves" and with that, he closed the door, leaving two dumbfounded look alikes to stare at the paper.

Go to the place where the elements are accpeted

Where they are welcomed, loved and gathered

The place where aromas of sweetness and bitterness mix

Where the answers to their questions are all answered

Go to the place where elements are in harmony

What the elements need to make them complete

Go to the place where scent and taste are desired

And the place where you get a sweet treat

Go to the place where a sky is seen

But other than that, black beans are found

A place of belonging, a place of family

A place where elements revolve around

A vein twitched in Hibari's forehead as he stared at the roundabout of riddles that was written on the piece of paper. He glared intensely at the poor paper, hoping that he'd burn a hold through it and by some mircale, the answer would be shown. But nooo...It didn't happen. And it's not that Hibari is horrible at riddles or anything but the words that were written were simple but the style was complex. I mean a place for elements and then black beans? Wtf?!

'That carnivore...I'm going to bite him to death after this'

Fon stared blankly at the paper in his hands. Really, he was a martial artist, not a fucking detective and mind master. He was never good with riddles to begin with, and he knows that neither is Hibari. Well, Alaude was pretty decent since he is a police officer, often having to solve clues and all that shit. But he was a freaking martial artist! He wasn't some Sherlock Holmes or 007! He was just Fon...plain old Fon.

And for the first time in his life, he felt so irritated that he glared at the paper so hard as a dark aura surrounded him. 'Reborn...I'm going to fucking kill you' Hiabri whistled at the aura his uncle was unleashing. It's been years since he saw his uncle this angry and he mentally thanked Reborn. 'I really do look like him' Yes, Hibari was concerned about that.
