Didn't update for two weeks...I feel so guilty. *whacks self on head and loses brain cells*
Anyways, it's my fault for procrastinating on all my homework. A note to anybody who cares: Do not take enriched classes, they do not help you at all and you just end up with ten times the work. Moving on now...

Chapter 4: A Seriously Messed Up Tour part 2 (with a dash of Varia)
Before Tsuna could say a word, before anyone could say a word actually, an oh so recognizable voice blasted through the doors, as in literally blasted through the doors (they swung right open).
"VOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!"
Everyone covered their ears, Squalo's voice was a very powerful weapon after all (even more then his sword). When everything seemed to be safe, Tsuna glanced up cautiously. The room was a complete mess. Blood was everywhere...no wait...that was...ketchup? There were empty bottles of ketchup on the floor. Belphegor and Levi were both holding bottles of ketchup and were covered head to toe in the substance themselves. Squalo had ketchup all over his usually white hair and it was dripping down his face, resembling blood.
The maid rushed in hoping to avoid further conflict and the group followed after her, "What happened?" the maid inquired, mostly out of curiousity and a bit out of concern.
"It's you fault." Belphegor stated to the maid, and seeing the surprised look on the group's face he decided to elaborate, "One of you Vongola servants seemed to have accidentally ordered a dozen bottles of ketchup to the Varia headquarters. We actually wanted a dozen beef fillets, Xanxus wanted them. He's pretty pissed right now so get us those beef fillets sometime soon. Anyways, this lousy peasant," he motioned to Levi, "Fumbled with one of the bottles and accidentally squirted some onto the prince's crown," he pointed to the ornament on his head which was now covered in ketchup, "And thus the prince punished him like so," He squirted Levi, who was pretty pissed about the "lousy peasant" thing, with ketchup.
In reconciliation, Levi squirted Belphegor back which only started another ketchup war. However, they had forgotten about Squalo.
"VOOOOOIIIIIIIIII!!!" Squalo easily caught everyone's attention, "Then why the hell did you idiots hit me!?"
"Ushishi..." Belphegor chuckled, "It's the peasant's fault once again. He dodged."
Before anything else could happen, Lussiria and Marmmon stepped into the room. They seemed not to care about the state of things too much as if strange things were a daily thing for them (which it probably was).
Marmmon simply glanced around the room and muttered, "What a waste...could of sold that ketchup..."
Lussuria on the other hand spotted Ryohei immediately and completely ignored the rest of his surroundings. Before he could glomp him though, the librarian appeared...again.
"Does this bitch ever give up?" Gokudera growled as he pulled out a fistful of dynamite.
"Ushishi..." Belphegor suddenly appeared beside him, "You may want to respect her a bit more...she's the former storm guardian."
"What!?" Gokudera was shocked as well as the rest of the group.
"The prince needs not explain such details," Belphegor smirked, "Let the servant do it." He motioned to the maid.
"Um...you see, whenever new guardians are chosen, the old guardians are assigned to be either the Vongola librarian, chef, secretary, head loan shark, or a Varia member if they have not died." The maid explained, " In this case, two guardians have died, so the storm guardian became the librarian, the sun guardian the chef, the rain guardian the secretary, and the cloud guardian the loan shark. I'm sure you'll meet them all later. So please don't fight her, you'll be killed!"
"That's just stupid! I can beat that stupid excuse for a guardian anytime!" Gokudera hissed at the maid.
"Gokudera-kun," Tsuna didn't want to offend the maid that tried to hard to give them a nice tour (though it didn't work), and it wasn't really her who made the rules regarding the former guardians, "Please stop being rude..."
"Listen to your pathetic boss kid," the librarian smirked, "There's no way you'd stand a chance against me anyways!"
Gokudera growled and prepared to throw some dynamite, but he was interrupted.
"Wait!" The maid decided to speak loudly for once in her life, "Guardians shouldn't fight each other!"
As soon as she said that, Mukuro burst through the wall right behind her. There was blood dripping from a head wound and there was blood soaking through his clothing at the chest. Hibari came in soon after, his tonfas drawn. He wasn't in much better shape than Mukuro. His clothes were scratched everywhere. He practically had no sleeves left. Both guardians were bloody, some blood theirs, some not. Mukuro lunged at Hibari, who blocked it and sent a tonfa to Mukuro's stomach, knocking him back and making him cough out blood...lots of blood. Mukuro retaliated by sticking a hidden knife through Hibari's arm (he didn't use the trident because it was still covered in ash, and Mukuro like to fight with a clean weapon). It went all the way through, Tsuna could see the other end poking out the other side of Hibari's arm. Quickly, Tsuna covered Lambo's eyes, shielding the child from all the gore.
"Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto, Ryohei-onii-san, please stop them!" Tsuna turned to his other guardian for help while trying to make sure Lambo didn't see anything. It was to be expected, Hibari really hated Mukuro's guts...and beyond. It was obvious he was going to pick a fight with him sooner or later. He actually had to hand it to him for holding in the urge to kill for so long.
Hibari now had the obvious upper hand. He had cornered Mukuro with a tonfa at his throat and has about to make the final strike when Yamamoto pinned his hands behind his back. Ryohei helped Yamamoto restrain Hibari and move him back while Gokudera restrained Mukuro (which wasn't that hard since he was half dead). Tsuna handed Lambo to the maid and rushed in to help.
A while later, once everything was sorted out, Mukuro was sent to the emergency ward (not that it was necessary since he couldn't die). Hibari refused to go to the hospital claiming that he was fine and was not such a herbivore.
The librarian had mysteriously dissapeared without notice. The maid hesitantly decided to simply continue the tour.
"Um..." she began and caught everyone's attention, "We will now be headed for the main Vongola office..."
Without much else to do, the group bid farewell to the Varia (who really didn't listen to them as they were having an argument at the moment), and followed the maid. Hibird had somehow flown off and Hibari went to look for him.
After much weaving in and out corridors, the group arrived at a door. It was an enormous door, even compared to everything else in the mansion. Tsuna calculated that some one could probably shove the entire building of Namimori Junior High through it. The maid raised her hand to knock but the door was opened before she could. Tsuna gasped as he saw the figure that opened the door.
It. Was. A. Dog.
A dog was sitting there, wagging it's tail. Tsuna recognized it as a black and white husky with bright green eyes. It was a rather large dog, bigger than he was, actually. The most surprising thing was that, on its collar, were engraved the words "Vongola Secretary".
"Wait," Tsuna realized, "If it's the Vongola Secretary, doesn't that mean it's also..."
"The Vongola former Rain guardian," The maid finished as she bowed to it, "Soir-Blanc-sama is a french bred husky and also the ninth's right hand man...um...pet...um...well...he was second in command, and he still is. It would be wise to take advice from him. Of course you'd need a translator. The only person other than the ninth who could understand Soir-Blanc-sama's speech would be Liro-sama."
"Who?" Tsuna didn't recognize the name.
"Um..." the maid murmured and stared at her feet, "That would be...the...librarian. I'm afraid she will have to work alongside you and Soir-Blanc-sama as a translator during your stay."
Tsuna paled, "Is that...so..." He began to feel sick and even more worried than he already was.
The maid gasped as she checked her watch, "It's ten o' clock already! Hurry, masters, we must make it to the banquet hall for your welcome dinner-buffet! I'm sorry we can't continue this tour...here, take these maps of the mansion," She handed out a very thick book that looked about three hundred pages long to all the guardians, "Now please follow me. We must hurry, I'm sure everyone has been waiting for a long time..."
Welcome dinner-buffet? Tsuna was sure that was just one of the countless things that Reborn was keeping secret from him. Regardless, he followed the maid along with his guardians. If he knew what was to come, he would of turned and ran all the way to Antarctica.
