Rikaihiru: I'm so sorry! -looks at the name or rather finally notices- too long… just Hiru maybe~

Kyoya: Herbivore, why haven't you been updating?

Hiru: Because of a big block in my head?

Kyoya: -suddenly lunges-

Hiru: a-ah! Wait Kyoya! -dodges every attack-

Kyoya: -stops- you better update or next time you won't be able to dodge…

Hiru: Hai hai now go away..

Kyoya: -hits Hiru's head as he leaves- Hiru doesn't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn… it'll be a cold day in hell if that happens…


Later…

"Mukuro" Reborn entered and jumped onto the desk as Tsuna finishes the last paper he needs to sign for the day.

"Kufufu~ are you done with your preparations Reborn?" Tsuna asks as he leans back to his chair and stretches sighing in relief when he hears some pop. "Or are you just here to at least distract me from my work?"

"No, not distractions, I'm just here to wait for you to finish but it seems that you are done so let's go to the others." He said as he jumped onto Tsuna's shoulder on the way out of the room and they headed to the others who were still watching more like staring.

Hibari, who got annoyed from the crowding and the lack of entertainment returned to his quarters and Mukuro who was the same though nobody noticed him leave the room they were in, the two were called by some servants and was now heading back to the room as well.

Reborn looked around the room checking for everyone and nodded once the two arrived. "We will be playing a game and the reward will be something you would want." He paused and nobody noticed the two carnivores looking at their boss who in turn just shuddered.

"Are there limits to the reward Reborn?" Hibari asked just in case.

"No there aren't but so long as they are in my reach then it's okay. Now back to the game. Everyone here will be divided into teams looking for an item that is located within the mansion." He pulls out a small box with 7 strips of paper.

"The teams would be 2 of each. Now everyone get a strip." He watched as everyone blink at the paper they got.

"Now say the number that is written there."

"3" Tsuna said as he lifted the paper showing it to Reborn.

"2" Hibari and Mukuro said at the same time then turned to each other glaring.

"3" Chrome meekly said and just smiles.

"1" Lambo exclaimed.

"4" Yamamoto said.

"1" Gokudera grumbled as he crosses his arms.

"4" Ryohei just muttered looking a bit lost.

"Everyone pair up then cuff your wrist to the partner's wrist, pick which side you want your wrist to be cuffed." Reborn said.

One by one they paired the wrist and are now cuffed to each other. They look at Reborn expectantly though with a bit of dread added to the mix. "There's a catch though, I wouldn't give you what item it is or what it looks like, I will only give you it's use in which is for cataloguing. There is a specific one that I want though because-.." He stops. "No I won't give the reason it would give away which one it is."

Reborn moved from Tsuna's shoulder down to the coffee table in the room and Leon transformed into a gun as it moved to its master's hand. "Now start!" He pulled the trigger and a flag that says 'Go!' popped out.

As they proceeded to leave the room they heard Reborn reminding them 'The previous game or the original game is still in place!' The groups each went to their own way, Tsuna and Chrome just chatting and giving each other ideas on what it might be, Ryohei and Yamamoto are just looking around thinking about the thing, while the last two teams, let's just say that they are bickering like that could change their groupings.


-With Tsuna and Chrome-

"Yare Yare, this would be a bit tiring walking around. Do you have any idea Mukuro?" Chrome asked as they walk through halls and halls inside.

"Kufufu~ technically Reborn meant those albums or maybe just card catalogues, I know there was one that he treasures but I don't really know which one." Tsuna shrugged as they continued walking through the hallway.

"Let's just go to the library and look around?" Chrome suggested then Tsuna pulled her along with him as they went there.

"I have a feeling that it isn't there but we could get a clue on what it is." He then added as an afterthought, "Maybe."

So the two went towards the library and searched there.


-With Hibari and Mukuro-

"A-anno… Bossu…" Mukuro cringed though Hibari just smirked thinking that it somehow sucked for the pineapple to be calling him, HIM of all people, Boss at the moment.

"Yes Chrome?" Hibari tugged at the cuff non-to-gently making Mukuro stumble and Hibari's smirk grew.

"Do you even have an idea what to look for?"

"Not really but let's investigate shall we?"

"Of course Bossu."

Then the two hit each other still careful of what they were saying because they don't want to be eliminated from the original game.


- With Lambo and Gokudera –

"Yamamoto, do you have any extreme idea on what could this be?" Lambo asked as he hit Gokudera, he faintly noticed that they were in the gardens.

"Hahaha do I look like I have an idea nii-san? What about you though?" Gokudera laughed like Yamamoto did though it pretty much looked like it was forced and an angry tick mark appearing on the side of Gokudera's head though he was holding back.

"Well since you are supposed to be the extremely 'smarter' of the two of us I supposed you already had one but now I take it back you are not extremely smart Ya-ma-mo-to~" Lambo teased more and just snickers as he now noticed Gokudera shaking.

"You know nii-san, if you are not gonna say something that is useful you better shut that trap." Gokudera hissed almost pulling out some grenades.

"Oh? And if I extremely don't want to huh?" Lambo teased more.

Let's just say that the garden can't be called garden after that and this made Tsuna groan and complain once more about the paperwork this would add to the pile.


- With Ryohei and Yamamoto –

"Oi, Herbivore what are we doing here?" Yamamoto asked as they entered the kitchen, looking around he saw everyone already busy in preparing stuff or for dinner later.

"I'm just hungry is there something wrong with it , huh?" Ryohei faked snarl.

"Are you pushing for a fight?" Yamamoto 'uncharacteristically' growled.

"Yes but because Juudaime doesn't want more paper work I won't push for it." Remembering Tsuna's face when they put more paperwork on him made him stop.

The two of them just ate for a few minutes in there as well as planning their next step into finding this thing that Reborn wants.


Somewhere… Reborn's Hideout…

"Looks like everyone is really, if not completely comfortable with each other, let's make this game spark up then." He says as he watches every camera that was installed.

To say though that he didn't plan was an understatement, this game was thoroughly planned, he even made some tweaks to some part of the house just to make things harder for the people that are playing. Though he may have forgotten to tell the staff that they were playing, he just shrugs and watches onto the monitors still.

"Let's give them a few more minutes or maybe hours before we spice up the battle field." He smirks.


Hiru: Alright that's a wrap! The game was partly from Dark Witch Vampire, though I say partly… -shrugs- though maybe the Strip poker is next? I'm still sorry for not updating this story for like 2 years? Everyone is welcome to hit me if ever I forget.

Kyoya: -takes this chance but gets blocked by Hiru-

Hiru: not you Kyo~ now say bai bai~ -clenches fist against the tonfa as Hiru pulls Kyoya to the backstage-
