Sup minna! Glad that you all liked that little sneak peak. I think it's going to be part of the next chapter or the one after the next but anyway, thanks for supporting Domino-san! While he is busy, I'm gonna distract you guys with a new chapter!

Gokudera: Idiot woman! How long are you going to take before you update?

Me: umm... well...

Gokudera: And all those grammar errors, when will you even correct them?

Me: I'm working on it!

Gokudera: Work on it my ass. Sit down and do it before I blow you up!

Me: ._. ... *cries* G-san! Gokudera is being mean to me! D:

G: He wouldn't be mean to you if you just do it. Be a weekly updater already so that he'll back off.

Me: (; A ; ) demo... my prelims are coming closer... *sniff*

Gokudera: fine, work on it when you're done with your exams!

Me: yes sir (; A ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR and if I did, I'm pretty sure I'll get hunted down by fangirls

It was a day after he woke up and Tsuna was still in bed. After eating the day before, he went right back to sleep until the next day, missing what happened next when Daemon and Chrome went in after for a snack. It was quite shocking indeed, one that Mukuro wasn't happy about but had grudgingly accepted. Now that he was awake and well Tsuna figured after the whole kidnapping event that his dad would take them all back to the mansion. Which he was totally right about. In about two days, they were going to leave the Academy.

It was hard to believe but Tsuna was going to miss the school, the students, the teachers, their Headmaster (to an extent), Mare (Tsuna wasn't sure about him either), Lia, and their dorm. Speaking of their dorm...

"It got burned down?" Tsuna cried from where he sat on the bed in his room; he was still stuck with bed rest. After putting all that hard work into making it livable this is what happens? They worked so hard not to destroy it for the whole week too! "How?" he asked.

It was Ryohei who answered, "It was EXTREMELY G's fault!"

"Eh?" Tsuna hardly believed it even though he did believe that the Storm Guardian wasn't too far from the others when it came to destroying places. But still, G, really?

"Is that why we're staying at the Northern Dormitory?" Tsuna asked them. Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Chrome and Lambo nodded.

Yamamoto scratched his cheek, "Hibari and Mukuro found a cigarette at the ruins. They figured since no one in the whole school smoked, it was G."

"Don't forget that G was there before the dorm burned down," Lambo added.

Tsuna groaned. Gokudera threw himself on the floor and started to bow while banging his head. "Forgive me Jyuddaime! I should have prevented this!"

"Ah! Gokudera-kun, please don't! You'll hurt yourself," Tsuna gently shook his friend's shoulder. "It's fine, at least no one got hurt right?"

"Uh..." Gokudera said and Tsuna had to fight the urge to groan again. Instead, he sighed "Okay, who got hurt this time?"

"You see Tsuna, after Hibari and Mukuro found out they - " Tsuna cut Yamamoto off as he raised his hand. He suddenly remembered G's battered face; covered with bruises, cuts and if he wasn't mistaken he remembered some ring bruises around his wrists that Tsuna was sure was made by handcuffs.

"Don't tell me. They attacked him head-on, right?"

Yamamoto shook his head. Tsuna wondered what his Cloud and Mist Guardians really do and hoped it wasn't too... extreme. Yamamoto coughed nervously, afraid of what Tsuna's reaction would be and said, "They sent their box weapons after them."

"WHAT?" Tsuna shrieked, they cringed at his high-pitched voice piercing their ears.

"Kufufufu, don't worry Sawda Tsunayoshi. He didn't even suspect us in the slightest. He believed that he was attacked by rabid animals that he encountered in the forest." Mukuro appeared in a whirl of mist beside Chrome. He twirled his staff in his hand as he smirked. "You should be happy that we have won Dominion over the whole school."

"Dominion?" Tsuna had totally forgotten it.

"Jyuddaime, we won fair and square so we get Dominion over the whole school!" Gokudera punched the air lightly.

Even though Gokudera had out up a light font, he knew that he couldn't fool his beloved friend. Tsuna frowned at his best friend's behavior and saw that the rest of his guardians - except Mukuro - had the same fake expression on their faces. He crossed his arms and felt a headache coming up.

"Now what?" Exasperated, Tsuna stared them down when he disapproves over something.

They gulped. It was no use to hide the inevitable to someone who has hyper intuition. Besides, Tsuna was getting better with that look... too much influence by Giotto maybe?

Mukuro, however, hardly had anything to hide. "Kufufu, nothing bad happened at all."

"Nothing bad happened?" Gokudera repeated, furious. He stood up and pointed an accusing finger at Mukuro. "Jyuddaime, this pineapple-freak and that bastard Hibari caused the school to go Martial Law!"

"Oya, don't point that finger on me if you want to wake up dead." Mukuro glared at Gokudera which Gokudera returned with his own glare.

"HOW CAN YOU EXTREMELY WAKE UP WHEN YOU'RE DEAD?" Ryohei suddenly shouted, a hundred question marks appearing over his head. A nerve popped in Mukuro's head and Gokudera had a sudden urge to laugh.

"Hahaha, senpai is right. How do you wake up when you're dead?" Yamamoto laughed.

"Boss..." Chrome tugged on Tsuna's left sleeve.

"Young Vongola..." Lambo tugged on Tsuna's other sleeve.

"Martial Law?" Tsuna asked.

"Boss... when you were unconscious, the cloud man and Mukuro-sama had to take control. The whole school was in turmoil and a lot of Families demanded their children back," Chrome told him.

"Only problem was that those two tend to fight on sight so... it was rather...chaotic." Lambo supplied.

Tsuna bit back an urge to groan. "And where were you guys in all this?" he asked them.

Both turned away, blushing. "We...We were worried about you," Lambo mumbled.

"We wanted to see you wake Boss," Chrome mumbled as well. With this, Tsuna couldn't help but smile. He ruffled Lambo's hair softly like he usually does with his younger counterpart and patted Chrome's shoulder. "Thank you," he said and chuckled when they smiled a bit shyly back at him. They watched as the others continued to bicker, or in Mukuro's case, tried to kill them. It was then when Mukuro decided to leave and have his revenge later that the three continued to bicker with themselves.

Tsuna sighed. Then a question popped in his mind.

"When we leave, who will get Dominion?"

~ Mare ~

It was the second time in Mare's life that he was graced by the presence of another Mafia Don, the first being the Headmaster, Vongola Primo (who he had to admit was awesome). He was just doing his daily chores with Lia aiding him because he was still injured when there was a knock on the door and in came in Vongola Primo.

Flustered, Lia tried to make herself presentable while Mare bowed.

"Forgive me for my earlier rudeness sir when I barged in before," he said.

Giotto sweat dropped. He didn't sound sorry at all with that detached tone and look he has as if he didn't care at all. Still, he did show a great deal of courage despite his attitude so...

"No, no. There's no need to apologize. Please sit," Giotto said as he gestured at the table. Lia and Mare glanced at each other. "Both of you," Giotto added. They sat down. Lia was rigid on her seat while Mare sat down comfortably. Giotto sat down before them. Lacing his fingers together in front of them, he smiled.

"Your names are Mare Immemore and Liannah Ritmo correct?" Giotto watched as they both nodded. His smile softened. Closing his eyes briefly, he opened them. Filled with gratitude, he said "Thank you for taking care of my son, if you hadn't watched over him I would have feared the worst."

Mare blinked before returning with a small smile of his own. "It was no problem sir."

"And you," he turned to Lia. "Thank you for bearing with the others. I know that they can be quite a handful."

Lia shook her head, embarrassed. "It was nothing really, they're quite sweet, especially Chrome and Lambo."

Giotto chuckled. He had seen how the children had depended on the three servants when Tsuna was still unconscious. Mare, Lia and Mitchel were the only ones they allowed to come close to Tsuna's room without Hayato attacking them. The children would never leave his side unless urgent matters had to be tended to (like meals and when Hibari and Mukuro start fighting in the halls) and would leave the small brunette in their hands. Giotto was quite busy during all that, along with the Headmaster; they sorted through the uprising of the Neutral Families, trying to quench their anger. In the end, Giotto had to arrange a meeting in one week's time to meet with the Families. Hopefully, they wouldn't hold any grudges against them once Alaude finds the Family responsible for all this then Giotto would be more than glad to assist the Neutral Families in doing so. His other Guardians had the same problem and running the school had befallen to Kyoya and Mukuro's shoulders which was a very, very bad idea.

Giotto eyed Mare especially. Even though the lad was covered with injuries head to toe, he kept coming over to visit and sometimes, would manage to convince the children to go to bed.

"I didn't only come here to thank you two," Giotto started "I came here to offer you two a job to work as personal servants of the children." Mare blinked once again and Lia had her mouth hanging open, stunned from what the Don was telling them. "I've spoken to the Headmaster," he continued "and he said that both of you were welcome to join the Vongola. We usually don't take servants who don't meet the standard requirements but there is always an exception and you two just happen to have it. Will you accept my offer?"

"O-Of course!" Lia said and Mare nodded along with her.

"Excellent," Giotto said as he rubbed his hands together. He stood up and walked towards the door and opened it, looking over his shoulder he said "We will be leaving in two days so please make sure you're ready by then." Before he closed the door they heard him mutter "It's time we got some normal servants."

There was a moment of silence before Mare said, "Standard requirement? Normal? What, are their servants master assassins or something?"

"I don't know what that means either," Lia said, looking a bit stunned.

Mare sighed "It's too bad for them that I'm not normal."

~ Two Days Later ~

Tsuna was going bananas as he, and his friends sans Hibari and Mukuro, were being surrounded by a huge crowd of children. The same children that participated on their side during Capture the Flag. They flooded them in hugs while at the same time thanking them. Others who were more mature came and shook their hands.

Chrome was pink as her former team mates told her to take care.

Lambo was being patted behind the back by his team while Ryohei was crying out manly tears. The Sun group edged away from the crying boxer as the area around him turned wet.

Hibari was standing far off from them, speaking to Arturo and Arianna - who were the new prefects by the way - about a few things; mostly about punishment.

Mukuro was being given his own farewell party by his group.

Yamamoto was laughing around and Gokudera was telling his Storm team some reminders.

Tsuna smiled softly to himself. Aurora stood beside him, her arms crossed and a nervous expression on her face. "Hey Vongola," she started.

"Hmmn?" Tsuna turned to her.

She frowned. "Are you really sure that you're going to leave everything over to us?" she said.

Tsuna blinked. "Of course, I'm sure you can handle it."

"Not as good as you guys though," she muttered and Tsuna couldn't help but chuckle.

"Just don't intimidate anyone, don't abuse your power and just try and get along," he told her. "Besides, I don't think anything would go out of hand as long as Hibari-san's Disciplinary Committee is still here and without Mukuro around I doubt his gang would go around causing trouble without their leader."

Aurora sighed. "I guess you're right. Arturo and Arianna are good hands to have around."

"Is... Crispin okay?" Tsuna asked uncertainly. He felt helpless knowing that he couldn't do anything for Crispin's friend Max, who Tsuna unknowingly saved before from a gigantic gorilla.

Aurora nodded. "He's doing okay and he sends his regards."

Tsuna turned to look at the Academy's Castle to the eastern side where the infirmary was. As if he was trying to pierce through the solid stone with imaginary X-Ray vision, he stared at it and made a silent promise to himself. If there was any way to reverse the madness that Max went through he would take it, and he would personally take the cure from Carmine.

"Tsunayoshi." Tsuna turned around to meet the Headmaster. He smiled warmly at him and Tsuna couldn't help but to be reminded of Dino. A pang went through his chest as he remembered home but he forced it down; now was not the time to be thinking of such things.

"Headmaster." Tsuna bowed Japanese-style. Aurora stepped back to give them space.

Flavio ruffled his hair. "It was a pleasure to have you as our students even if it was a short time. I bid you, as your Headmaster, a safe journey home."

Feeling his eyes tear up a little, Tsuna nodded. Flavio was weird but he was very kind and Tsuna felt honored to meet Dino's ancestor. If Reborn would let him, he would tell everything there is to know about Flavio. Just thinking about how Dino would react made him smile.

Flavio placed his hands on his shoulders and turned him around. "Now go and take this." he handed a a small box wrapped up in brown paper. Bending down to Tsuna's height, he whispered "This is for Vongola Primo, a thank-you gift. His guardians wouldn't be so please if they found out I gave their boss chocolate again." To this, Tsuna went wide-eyed and before he could say anything, Flavio stood up and clapped his hands once.

Students stepped away and formed two lines from where Tsuna stood to the second carriage that was behind the First Generation's which was held open by Mare (who Tsuna was surprised to know was becoming their personal servants; Mitchel went back a day earlier so that the servants would be prepared for their masters return) - an aisle for them to walk through. They came to attention. Tsuna's friends stood beside him as they walked towards the carriage.

Giotto watched all of this with awe. They never got that much respect from Mafia families but then again, children were different from adults. They weren't affected by the dark world so much. Their coachman pulled the reins and they moved, going ahead of the children.

When they got in, Tsuna watched as they left the Academy, wondering if he'll ever see it again.

~ Fast Forward to Home ~

When they got back, Leonardo had made a welcome-back banquet for them. The others had already gone to sleep and Lia had went to tuck Chrome and Lambo to bed. Tsuna was so full as he was escorted to his room by Mare that he didn't notice when Mitchel rounded around the corner and stopped dead when he saw Mare. He hadn't known Mare was going to work in the mansion apparently.

"You." Mitchel pointed a finger at him.

"Yes me," Mare replied.

"What'cha doing here of all places?" Mitchel asked, accidentally letting his street accent through.

"I'm taking my mistress to his room." Mare pointed at Tsuna who was still oblivious to the two as his eyes were half-lidded.

Irritated, Mitchel said "He's a boy. Not a girl so stop implying that he is one!"

"Maybe, when I feel like it." Mitchel was ready to chew him inside and out when Mare said very softly, "Thanks for being my friend." Turning red, Mitchel replied, "Idiot."

"Loser." With that, Mare left to follow his new master to his room.

Mitchel sighed and opted to stay where he stood, knowing that Mare would come back here lost. He was new and the mansion was unfamiliar to him. He didn't want the white-haired idiot to wander somewhere he wasn't allowed... like Master Deamon's torture chamber or heaven forbid, Master Alaude's interrogation room. Knowing Mare, the boy had a knack for getting into places he wasn't supposed to be in.

Tsuna yawned as he opened the door to his room. Remembering that he had someone with him, he turned around only to have a look given to him by Mare.

"What?" Tsuna said, startled.

"Please don't expect me to change you because I'm not helping a seventeen-year old guy change his pants," Mare said very bluntly.

Tsuna blushed. "I wasn't going to ask you! I was going to tell you you can leave!"

"Really? Good night then." Then Mare graciously slammed the door in his face.

"Mare!" Mare opened the door. "Yes mistress?" he said innocently.

"You did not just do that." Tsuna said, teeth gritted and a vein pulsing on the side of his head.

"Oh, I just did. Watch me as I do it again."

"Mare I-" SLAM! Tsuna held his nose as it turned red, feeling a sense of déjà vu. Trying to remember why the pain on his nose felt familiar he suddenly remember the strange dream. He brushed it off because it was so strange but now... he tried to remember what Dayne looked like. Crawling into his bed after changing, he wondered if he will ever dream about the strange boy ever again.

While Tsuna drifted off to sleep, Giotto was in his office with his guardians.

"To think that the Ezkabanza Family is just asking to be wiped out..." G growled.

Alaude had just given his report about the Family responsible for the kidnapping of several students and the taboo, one of the laws of Vindice itself, of human experimentation. Now that they had proof, it would just be a simple matter to send a letter to the Vindice, oh no. Giotto was going to hand the Ezkabanza Family over to the offended Families and then will he send for the Vindice.

"It doesn't matter G, we will not interfere with the Families who will deal with this." Giotto had already started to write on a piece of parchment.

"You are just letting this go?" Knuckle said disbelievingly.

"Giotto, they had crossed the line when they started kidnapped children and had almost experimented on Tsuna!" Asari was silenced with a look.

Giotto folded his hands together. "We are a Vigilante group. Even if we are a Mafia Family, it doesn't change that our purpose is to protect what is important to us. That is the reason why I started this and I will not allow to Vongola exploits its power to punish others. Let the Neutral Families deal with this."

"Giotto..." Asari said, bowing his head shamefully. "Forgive me, I just couldn't forgive them for their crimes. So many innocent children taken away from their families." He clutched his fist.

"I know Asari," Giotto said gently. His face then hardened. "I won't forgive them either which is why I'm writing this." He rolled the parchment and tied it with a ribbon before applying wax and pressing the Vongola seal on it.

"What's that?" Lampo asked.

"A message to the Vindice," Giotto said.

Their eyes widened. To think Giotto was more than willing to hand over the Ezkabanza Family to the Vindice was proof how much the blonde was furious about them.

Recovering from his shock, Daemon laughed, "Nufufufu, Giotto, you are one dangerous man."

"You're going to have the Ezkabanza Family be torn apart by those Families then hand them over to the Vindice?" G shook his head. "I know they deserve this but man, I can't help but feel a bit sorry for them."

"Nufufufu. Usually, Mafia Families deal with this themselves," Deamon said.

Giotto looked up at his Mist Guardian and frowned. "Eradicate them? It is not the Vongola's way to do that."

"It's the same thing Giotto, you are practically handing them over to the devil themselves!" G cut in.

"This is Mafia justice. We have our own sense of justice but this crime is too much for us to be punished alone. By rights, this is within Vindice jurisdiction," Giotto said flatly, his tone leaving no room for arguments. "Besides," he straightened a stack of paperwork. " It's not like I'm condemning them. They should be thankful."

"For what? Being good as dead?" G said sarcastically.

"No, for postponing their sentence." They gaped at him.

"Believe me, I don't want the Vindice to come after anybody, be it enemy or ally." Giotto sighed before continuing, "It doesn't matter whether we inform them or not, they will know immediately as soon as word spreads round. They have their own ways of knowing," at this Lampo shivered at. "and I'm merely pleading to them to prolong their judgement that is why I'm sending this." He handed it to G. G took it, a look of pity on his face.

"Well, they did disregard our warnings," Lampo said carelessly with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Lampo!" Knuckle chastised the younger Guardian.

Giotto stood up. "Okay everyone, it's late and we should be getting to bed. G, I leave you to send that." G nodded. "And Alaude-"

"I take it you want those Families to be informed?" Alaude looked at his boss, awaiting for the order.

Giotto waved him off. "Go."

Alaude turned and headed out the door but not before giving his boss a wicked smirk.

One by one his guardians bid him goodnight until he and Deamon were left. "A word Giotto," he said. Giotto hung his cloak by the arm and faced him. "Yes Deamon?"

"Elena has been asking a lot about the children and she wants to see them." This made Giotto raise a brow. "I also think this would be good for Chrome, her only company are only boys and even if she had the maids, she's too shy even with that new maid." Daemon didn't think how far Giotto's eyebrows can go especially when they shot up to his bangs and disappeared.

"So you're saying we should go visit Elena?"

Deamon nodded.

Giotto, a little weirded out by his Mist Guardian's eagerness, thought that he might be trying to get back into Elena's good books after she found out that Deamon had a rather rocky relationship with the children, which was true by some point. Besides, he now knew that while the children still avoided him, they were making an effort to be nice at least, especially Chrome.

"They just came home Deamon..." he trailed off when he saw Deamon's best imitation of a puppy-eyed look.

Creeped out, Giotto scratched the back of his head. "Fine. I'll think about it tonight and I'll tell you in the morning."

"Thank you Giotto," Daemon turned around, holding both handles of the double doors. "you won't regret it." he then shut it, leaving Giotto alone in his office.

Giotto ran his hand down his face. "I think I just did."

There! I had fun with this chapter but fun time has to be cut short, next: the gang will be going to Wales! I'm just itching to show you guys Giotto's embarrassing moment but that will have to wait. Glad to see Mare here? He really appreciates that you guys like him and Lia too. Say thank you you two!

Lia: *blushes* thank you very much!

Mare: ...

Me: Say something! *nudges Mare*

Mare: zzzzZZZZ...

Me: Son of a... he fell asleep! The nerve of him! Maybe I should draw on his face... *grabs marker*

Mare: No way in hell *runs away*

Me: Grr... I'll get him to talk guys, just you wait...

Anyway, I'll be closing the poll for the next chapter of TU Family Tales. From now on before I update Family Tales I will announce the next chapter here:

Next up! Lullaby - featuring G and Gokudera

and watch out for tagged names! Yours might be in it! (I didn't tag anyone to the first chapter because I wanted it to be an introduction to what kind of story it is)

Thanks for reading this chapter and have a nice week, till next time! Ciao! Come back here Mare!
