Thanks a lot for those who corrected me. I really do write when I'm half-asleep, I don't know why but that's where most of my ideas spawn like mad XD
Keep it up guys, otherwise I might start writing gibberish :U
So this story might take a long time… goodness knows it might reach more than 15 chapters XD Maybe, maybe not who knows? XD
Moving on… I am very confused as to what century the Vongola Family really belonged to so I think I would have to combine 1600 and 1800 centuries together… makes sense? Probably not XD But I can't explain for their fasion, just look at those suits! It's either Giotto can perceive the future or he just really fashionable. LOL
Lick.
Lick.
Lick.
"Stop it…" Tsuna grumbled as he rolled in his bed. The licking continued at the balls on his feet until Tsuna couldn't take it anymore, he giggled before sitting up, rubbing his eyes. Drowsily pulling the covers off, he greeted with a small smile.
"Hey Uri."
Uri, who was in her bomb form, mewed silently. Tsuna scratched her ears affectionately.
This was something they had come up with about a year ago when Tsuna was kidnapped along with Gokudera and Yamamoto. They were locked in separate rooms and the only thing that connected them was through the vents, everything else was just sealed up, no windows no nothing. Perfect for claustrophobic s. Anyway, this was great for escaping and stealth tactics… such as summoning the guardians during four in the morning without anybody noticing them.
Slipping out of bed quietly, Tsuna's bare feet touched the cold floor and shivered. Right… 1600 century equals no heaters mean its freaking cold. Taking a child-sized robe and wrapping it around himself, he took out his Vongola Ring and put it on, summoning Natsu out.
"Gao~" Natsu greeted his partner. Bending down he patted his head and opened the door, letting Natsu, with Uri on top, go first into the dark corridor. There were no lights but the flames radiating from Natsu were enough to lit the way without anyone noticing them. After what it seemed like hours of silence, Uri jumped down from Natsu's head and started to tap her paw against the door which Tsuna presumed was Gokudera's room. Pushing the door slightly opened he peeked inside to see if this was the right room. There, sitting on the bed was Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Lambo and Chrome. On her lap was Mukurowl, dimly emitting light as did the other box weapons. Garyuu was on the floor, snoozing while Jiro was on Yamamoto's lap, with him scratching his ears. Kojiro was perched on the headboard, asleep while Gyuudon was at the other side of the room, lazily looking at them just like it's owner. Uri strode casually to the room and jumped on the bed and reunited with her body, which grew size back to her original form as the flames returned.
"Good job Uri." Gokudera whispered as he patted her head, only to receive a bite. To refrain from cussing out loud, he had bit his tongue in the process. Tears in his eyes he glared at Uri as she was cleaning herself. Yamamoto laughed a low laugh.
"Uri really loves you Gokudera." He said. Gokudera scowled at him. Do you call that love? There is such a thing as tough love but Gokudera just couldn't see how that has to do with Uri, more likely, he thought his box weapon was a sadist.
Taking his scowl of his face Gokudera smiled and waved for Tsuna to sit beside him after locking the door. Lambo was casually lying down, propped up by one arm with his head on the palm of his hand. Falling asleep every now end then, he yawned when Tsuna sat down. Natsu jumped on his lap and he looked around.
"Eh? Where's Mukuro?"
"Mukuro-sama said he was tired…" Chrome said. Tsuna nodded, Mukuro was just released three months ago so they could say he still hadn't regained full mobility. He easily tires out as well which is why when he's not around, Chrome says he's asleep.
As for Hibari… everyone knew well not to disturb the prefect. Tsuna shuddered, he remembered well when Hibari was woken up once… compared to the largest coup d'etat in Vongola History, Hibari's cranky rampage had fortunately left several injured while unfortunately, repairs took a lot of money.
Gokudera cleared his throat.
"Anyway Jyuddaime, do we have a plan?" Tsuna pursed his lips to a tight line. That's right, they had no idea where to start. It's not like they can just wander around the place… since they were the exact mini copies of the first generation. Chances of getting kidnapped are high.
"We're under the first generation's care now so we should make use of it." Tsuna said after a while of thinking. After saying it, he instantly grimaced.
"Make use of it you say Sawada?" Ryohei frowned. Yamamoto's face fell to a grim look. Chrome looked saddened while Lambo remained uninterested. Gokudera looked down.
"I know it's a dirty thing to do but…" he bit his lip. Now that he was officially given the title of Vongola Decimo, he had to make tough choices and this was no exception. The leader was the center of unity, if he had broken down in the middle of this then he was better off stuck here and disappear slowly from history. "We have no other choice; we have no idea where to go or where to start looking… I don't even know what we're even supposed to be looking for." He frowned.
"So does this mean we're staying low for the meantime?" Yamamoto asked. After a while, Tsuna nodded. Ryohei crossed his arms .
"I'd feel bad for lying though…" he said.
"It's not like we're planning to tell them anything anyway Turf top! Can't you use your brain? Reborn-san had already told us about the time paradox!" Gokudera snapped only to be shushed by Tsuna.
"Sorry Jyuddaime…" he grumbled.
"It's fine Gokudera-kun," he sighed. But how was they supposed to know anyway? It's not like a sign would just appear out of nowhere telling them that this is what they were looking for.
"A-Ano… boss?"" Chrome asked. Tsuna turned to her.
"Yes Chrome?"
"Um… the Cloud man Alaude…I think that we have a way of knowing." She said and flushed in embarrassment. Tsuna quirked a brow. Eh?
"Can you speak up a little Chrome, we're not following."
Chrome fidgeted.
"CEDEF and Vongola has a wide variety of connections, not to mention that there are several families who are under Vongola are scouts in their own dominion." Gokudera said which Chrome nodded to.
It made sense! They can use their positions to have access to everything… not everything exactly but either way it was a brilliant idea!
"That's a great idea Chrome!" Yamamoto said, giving her thumbs up.
"That's extremely smart!"
"It's a good idea…" Gokudera grumbled. Like hell he was admitting it!
Tsuna smiled. "Thank you Chrome."
"Your welcome boss… I'm glad to have been of help." She murmured, embarrassed from their praises. All they have to do was think of a way how to use their child forms to their advantage.
"We'll just have to stick to them and wait when something comes up." Tsuna finally said. Yup, that was their plan now. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. It's only been recently that he's able to make up a good plan, after all those simulations from Reborn he pretty much had developed the art of planning. He noticed Chrome was somewhat unhappy by this though.
"What's wrong Chrome?" he asked. She looked at him, uncertain of what to say. Then it hit him.
"Sorry Chrome! You and Mukuro don't have to do that!" he said. Chrome sighed in relief. The rest gave him a confused look.
"Don't have to do what Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked. It only took two words for them to understand what he meant.
"Deamon Spade." No words can describe the man that had caused so much suffering over the history of Vongola. Tsuna completely loathes him but not as much as Mukuro though. Even though they look alike, he knew that Mukuro wasn't like him. He was sure Mukuro would rather go through another life in hell than be like him. Hibari was an exception to his plan, it would be wise to keep Alaude and himself away from each other if they wanted to unless Vongola Primo was calling for renovations.
"We need to be careful around that bastard, he's suspicious of us." Gokudera said.
"Which reminds me you guys," Tsuna suddenly said. "Yesterday they were asking about our private lives, I think they would ask the rest of you if you let your guard down." Tsuna said as he looked up on the ceiling.
"But what are we going to say then?" Ryohei asked.
"Just be honest." Yamamoto said.
"Not completely honest stupid baseball nut! Just half-truth!" Gokudera hissed. "They'll know if we're lying! Just make sure not to mention anything about the Vongola!"
"I see then!" Ryohei exclaimed. Gokudera covered his face in irritation, "Stupid turf top…" he muttered.
"Jyuddaime, I think we're done no-" he stopped as he looked to see Tsuna, asleep with Lambo just above him, hugging a pillow as he slept. He smiled and noticed the others we're sleeping as well. Chrome had fallen asleep by Lambo's head while Yamamoto was at the foot of the bed. Ryohei blinked and plumped down at the edge, and with his amazing sleeping abilities, had fallen asleep immediately.
Gokudera was pissed off that they were sleeping on his bed, he doesn't mind Jyuddaime though, but what the hell! Scratching the back of his head he yawned. Damn it… being in the body of a child made him tired easily. Whatever, he was going to sleep and that's that! He lied down and just like the rest, fell asleep instantly. The box weapons Gyuudon, Garyuu, Mukurowl and Kojiro returned, leaving Jiro, Uri and Natsu sleeping by the floor.
~Morning ~
Tsuna felt something on his face… it smelled…. like vinegar. He frowned and blew from his knows. He felt movement and heard a giggle from Ryohei. From behind his eyelids he can see light, which meant it was morning already. So… what smelled?
~ Vongola Famiglia ~
Giotto was just about to head for breakfast, he hoped the dining room was clean, when there was a knock on his door. He opened it and saw the maid looking up at him with an apologetic look on her face.
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
"Master, your young guest wasn't in his room when I went to wake him." She said. Giotto nodded and stepped out, worried. She scuttled after him as he walked towards Tsuna's room and wrenched it open. It was empty of course, although it had signs that Tsuna was here before and that he left in the middle of the night.
"Where could he have gone?" Giotto worriedly murmured to himself and went out to find G. It didn't take long when he turned right by the hallway when he was greeted by his guardians. It appears they were arguing about something and that Deamon was the cause of it as he was at the center.
"What's all this?" he walked towards them, unhappy that they were already making a ruckus so early in the morning.
They all turned towards him.
"Primo, it seems like the children had disappeared in the middle of the night." Deamon said curtly.
"And so?" shouldn't they be worrying about them? The look on their faces pointed out more likely that they were suspicious.
"And so? I warned you Primo that those kids are trouble." Deamon said.
"They are just children. They-"
"They came from an unknown Mafia family that could be after the Vongola." Deamon snapped. Giotto frowned. Are people really that low to even use children to their purposes?
"Just because one brat get's the better of you, you don't have to go around and convince everyone else they're enemies!" G said as he stood beside Giotto, glaring at him. Actually, he had preferred Mukuro than Deamon, at least the kid had a bit of humanity in him.
"Even if they were it would just mean that they are being used, we can't blame them after all." Asari said as he stood by Giotto's other side.
"I don't like kids so I don't care. But I don't think they're bad." Lampo said as he stood aside.
"Hn. If that's the case then," Alaude took out his handcuffs, "we'll just discipline them." There was a glint in his eyes as he said that. The others sweat dropped, it was just like Alaude to not take sides and at the same time have a reason to do something threatening. Knuckle was oblivious to it though, as he nodded with Alaude.
"That's right, if they stray from the path that God has made for them… we would EXTREMELY lead them back!" Knuckle said. Even though he meant well, they didn't want him to break out preaching this early in the morning.
Deamon wasn't going down though, he refused to. He turned around.
"Nufufu…. No matter. I'll be leaving for breakfast now before I have to see that demon child." He said.
"Demon child?" Lampo whispered.
"He must mean Mukuro." G whispered back.
"How rude. At least I don't have hair that reminds everyone of a melon." A voice said. They jumped in surpise and turned around to see Mukuro with a maid beside him. She bowed respectively and left in a hurry. .
Deamon kept a straight face. "Speak for your pineapple hair." He smirked.
Mukuro kept on smiling, unfazed. It was one thing if others like Ken or Gokudera Hayato to comment on his hair but when it came from Deamon…
"Have you ever even seen a demon?"
"I don't need to search for it if I can see it already."
"Oh? Do you know what's uglier than a demon then?"
"And what's that?"
"Why don't you go look in the mirror?" he smiled innocently.
At first they didn't get it but as they understood, they glanced at Deamon, their eyes amused. G was grinning like an idiot, like he cared, it was entertaining to see Deamon get pawned by a kid.
Deamon was already to kill this child in front of him, his hands itching for his lens.
"It seems like you're asking to go to hell."
"Do I even need to go back there?" Mukuro groaned wearily. Seriously, he's been there seven times.
Deamon was taken back. He was too stunned to answer back.
"Why are you all crowding around here?" They turned to see Hibari with a rather frightened maid by his side. Why they had maids by their sides? Escorts and their caretakers for when the adults weren't around. Alaude took note to find someone much more suitable for Hibari since it looked like the maid beside him looked like she was terrified. No one can blame her, if you know who Alaude is then it isn't a good thing to see a mini version then.
"Kufufufu~ Hibari Kyoya, what a surprise to see you walking around here." Mukuro said in a form of greeting.
"Hn, I heard herbivores and some pineapple talking." Hibari replied, his eyes glaring intently at Mukuro. "It's disturbing."
Giotto felt sparks fly and it wasn't the good kind. It felt like the beginning of a spark that starts a forest fire.
"A-Anyway," Giotto said quickly. "Have you seen the others?" He asked Mukuro politely. He'd rather not ask Hibari, he had a feeling he didn't speak much as Alaude did.
"Perhaps I do, or don't. Either which they have not left the mansion." He replied in a nonchalant tone.
"Have some respect brat!" G hissed which Giotto ignored. He smiled.
"Is that so? How is it that you know?" he asked.
Mukuro grimaced. "Even though you look like Sawada Tsunayoshi and have the same weak personality, I have no obligation to answer you." He said as he looked away.
"Listen here brat! You-" G started but stopped as Giotto shook his head.
"Weak? In what way?" Giotto asked, curious as to what Tsuna was to him.
"Naïve." He sneered.
"Naïve?" Giotto repeated, surprised. "In what way?"
Mukuro's eyes darted to Deamon who became stiff under his glare. "Figure it out for yourself." He said.
Deamon's jaw hardened as he glared coldly at him. Even for him he has respect for Giotto and this child… this insolent child, talks like he knows him. Wasn't his obligation? He should answer if he wanted to live and it clearly shows that Primo was getting soft.
G was about to open his mouth to say something to Mukuro when a familiar shrill scream echoed in the hall. "HEEEEEEEEEIIIIIII-!" and then just like that, it was cut off and a loud thug was heard, coming from Gokudera's room.
~ Vongola Famiglia ~
Tsuna was really bothered by the vinegar scent so much that even his taste buds could taste it, which was really awful. Eventually he opened his eyes… which he wish he didn't. For a moment, he was staring at a foot, which was a few centimeters from his face. Not just any foot; it was Ryohei's foot. Tsuna blinked, the cogs of his brain slowly working. He refrained from breathing then exhaled. Ryohei barked out a laugh, it was ticklish. Tsuna blinked again, his breathing getting faster by the minute. He inhaled deeply and…
Oh gross…
"HEEEEEEIIIIIIII-!" his screaming in the morning startled everyone awake. Ryohei had suddenly kicked Tsuna in the face and out off the bed, silencing his scream. Gokudera jerked awake and pulled out his bombs, screaming "I'll save you Jyuddaime!"
Yamamoto was crouching with his sword on position. Ryohei was in his boxing stance while Chrome had her staff out protectively. Lambo had a pillow against him like a shield. Natsu had hidden behind Jiro, who was growling lowly while Uri was on her feet, her hair standing on the ends.
All of them had an alert look until they realized there was no danger. Gokudera lowered his bombs while Yamamoto had Shigure kintoki reverted back to it's wooden sword form. He sighed in relief as the others lowered their guards.
Yamamoto laughed. "Wow, that was some way to wake up!" he said and looked around.
"What happened to Tsuna?"
"I was sure Sawada was the one who screamed." Ryohei said as he looked around.
"Gao~"
"Natsu?" Gokudera got down on his stomach at the edge of the bed.
"Jyuddaime!" he exclaimed in surprise as he found Tsuna rolling on the floor, his hands clutching his nose. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow…." Tsuma muttered painfully.
"What are you doing down there Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked as he joined him.
"Sawada! That was one extreme wake up call!" Ryohei said as he was also flat on his stomach.
"Young Vongola, you sure gave me a fright." Lambo sighed as he appeared beside Ryohei, he really did scare them for a moment. Tsuna refrained from crying as much as he can but this… stupid…body….
They didn't the notice the doorknob rattling as it was tried to be opened.
"Damn it… it's locked!" G said, frustrated. Mukuro pushed him away as he and Hibari stood side by side. "Move aside." Giotto looked at the door worriedly. He was pretty sure that was Tsuna's scream there. His eyes bore through the wood as if he was using his x-ray vision to see through it.
Irritated, G asked "and what are you two going to do?"
Wrong thing to ask G. Wrong thing.
Mukuro was worried that Chrome was in there. Hibari, just for the hell of it. Together, they stepped back before charging towards the door and jumped at it, giving it a fatal blow. Severing it from its hinges, it slightly moaned and fell on the floor with a loud crash. Natsu, Uri and Kojiro darted under the bed and hid there.
Both sides became silent.
"Mu-Mukuro-sama?" Chrome squeaked. Mukuro smiled. "Come Chrome, it's time for breakfast." He said. Climbing off the bed (it was rather big for them) she ran to his side. The first generation guardians stepped aside to make way as the two left. Hibari, not finding anything interesting at all, took his leave as well. Tsuna lied there, dumbfounded, forgetting all about the pain of his nose. The others just gawked.
… That was one way to start a day. How lovely.
LOL can you guys see the difference when I write half-asleep and being actually AWAKE? XD
Anyway, I need you guys to recommend me something…
I need a good BUTLER'S name :D
That's right. All big houses need servants and with a mafia family I don't want no plain servant :U
I want fitting servants just FOR the Vongola Family :DDDDD what can I say? I'm pretty sure it's hard for Primo to have a servant leave every now and then because of… you know XD
So I need a name for this nameless butler, mind suggesting?
