Yama: Another chapter completed.

Oki: It was hard to finish this, since Yam is overseas right now.

Yama: No K-san to help me...*fake sob*

Oki:...

Yama: *throws paper around*

Oki: We don't own KHR and DGM!

Yama: Please read and review! Sorry for any silly mistakes made!

"So, you are all exorcists." Hibari leered, holding his tonfas in front of him.

"Rest assured, my innocence can hurt you." Tsuna said calmly, ignoring Hibari's taunts.

Everyone held their breaths as Hibari and Tsuna has a staring competition. They had to stop them both before Akuma sensed Tsuna's innocence and come! The audience all turned and looked at Kanda.

He's a lethal swordsman…

"Che," Kanda turned away, clearly knowing what his teammates were thinking. The swordsman decided to give in when he thought of the time they were wasting with the bounty hunter. He was to finish his mission as soon as possible.

Kanda stepped between Tsuna and Hibari, unsheathing his katana completely and pointed its tip at the dark-haired tonfa-wielder as Hibari grabbed Tsuna's left hand.

"Let go of the shrimp, you are wasting my time."

The group watched at the sidelines as Kanda and Hibari exchanged a few blows. They soon realized that something was wrong. It was not the fact that they were still right outside of the hotel and there was no one watching or noticing. The sky had suddenly darkened.

-NoAH EaRL-

"Let's go and meet our dear Vongola and the fourteenth." The Earl purred as he clapped his hands, summoning Akuma to his side.

"We shall invite them to our household."

The Earl's eyes glinted mischievously as he entered the Black Ark, Road and Tyki following.

-ARkBlACk-

"Hello there, exorcists." The exorcists heard a dark voice greeting them.

"Allen, you are here!" Allen and Tsuna's eyes widen after they heard the familiar voices coming out of the Black Ark, which suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The exorcists and finders prepared themselves for battle, all of them tensed. Only Hibari seemed to be very relaxed, leaning on the hotel wall, his hands crossed.

"Relax, dear Allen and Tsuna, we are here to invite you to our house." The Earl said, landing on the ground gracefully. (Wow)

'Why is the Earl and two Noah members doing here personally?' Manto and Shota wondered nervously. They had been finders for almost 5 years and that was the first time they saw the Earl himself and the Noah family.

Shota and Manto glanced at the group of young exorcists. They did not seem to be surprised at all; it was as if they had seen the Earl for many times.

Who actually are they? They are all so young…

The Earl and the exorcists held each others' eyes for a moment when Hibari suddenly charged towards the Earl, Road and Tyki.

"The total reward for you three herbivores is a lot, enough for a bounty hunter like me."

Hibari's tonfas met something equally strong and hard. The Earl had used his umbrella to block the raven's fierce attack. Hibari's eyes widen slightly as he fell back.

"My, my, so you are one of the sources of the strange energy. You have innocence, right?" the Earl snickered. Tyki said nothing, lighting his cigarette while Road just giggled.

At that one moment, everyone had different thoughts.

Hibari has innocence?

So he is an exorcist?

What did the Earl meant by one of the sources?

Did he mean that there is more than one source of the strange power (innocence) in this area?

What actually do the Earl and the Noah family wants?

Tyki stepped forwarded and said, "We are just here to invite the Vongola and the fourteenth to our house."

The exorcists and finders had heard of Allen being the fourteenth, but what on earth is Vongola? Is it a name of a clam?

"Vongola, what's that?" Lenalee wondered out loud. She had never heard of that word before.

The Earl just smiled wickedly and replied, "Why don't you all ask our dear Tsuna here?"

Tsuna flinched as he felt his friends' stares on him. How can he explain to them?

"Err…I..." The awkward silence stretched when a loud ringing sound could be heard.

Ring! Ring!

"Oh, what is it?" the Earl asked as he held a phone (where did it came from) to his ear.

"Yes, of course."

The Earl looked at Allen and Tsuna.

"I'm afraid I have to invite the both of you next time. I have an important guest today."

The group watched the retreating backs of the Earl, Road and Tyki when Shota suddenly asked a question Tsuna seriously wanted to avoid.

"What is Vongola?"

"So Hibari has innocence?"

Tsuna smiled nervously as he ran through a whole list of how to avoid the questions directed to him.

Hibari stood up and walked away. "I am not an exorcist."

Tsuna sweat dropped. The situation now was not good for him at all. He had a lot of explaining to do.

-TSunAWho?-

"Well, Master Reborn, you finally arrived!" The Earl and the whole of Noah family were seated, all of them conscious of the presence of Master Reborn.

"You called me all the way from Japan to Italy just to train a wimpy kid? Furthermore, he is an exorcist!" the said master was complaining to the Earl.

"Once he is nurtured and changed, our forces would be stronger, even more powerful than the Black Order!"

"Are you sure that he will change sides? You were the one who destroyed his family after all." Reborn said. He did his research on the brown-haired Vongola heir. Tsunayoshi Sawada was not someone who would easily give up his friends.

"Don't worry...That boy not only has the Vongola family blood in him, he is also from that bloodline...He will come to the dark side." the Earl sounded confident. The Noah family was listening to their conversations, slightly curious. What bloodline did that boy Tsuna had? The few ancient bloodline that they knew of were them, Vongola...and...

"You mean that bloodline?" Reborn's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Yes, the traits are coming out soon..."

What dark secrets is Tsuna actually hiding?

Oki: Ah ha! What traits?

Yama: shhh...

Oki: Anyway, please review! Thanks!

Yama: *faints for no reason*
