Oki: Hello there! Oki's back!
Yama: And I'm not? *glares at Oki*
Oki: We don't own KHR and DGM, just to be sure. XD
Yama: Remember to R&R! *throws pen at an annoying Oki*

"Innocence, activate, X-stream!"
"Chaos shot!"
There were explosions as Reborn and Tsuna destroyed Akuma that were surrounding Yamamoto.
"Phew, Yamamoto, are you alright?" Tsuna asked in concern as she deactivated her innocence and Reborn kept his gun. The female exorcist was glad that Yamamoto was alright.
Yamamoto was about to reply Tsuna when he suddenly saw an Akuma creeping behind the anxious Tsuna.
"Tsuna, look out!" Yamamoto pushed the burette down, barely avoiding the bullets that the Akuma shot.
Reborn quickly aimed his gun at the Akuma, but Yamamoto was faster.
"Open box!" A bamboo sword suddenly materialized in Yamamoto's hand and he sliced the Akuma into half, earning him a surprised look from Tsuna.
"Wow, Yamamoto, you are amazing!" the exorcist exclaimed, amazed.
Yamamoto laughed as he returned his sword into the box. "You are not bad yourself!" He was impressed by Tsuna too, after seeing her fight.
Tsuna recognized the blue box that Yamamoto was holding. It was a Vongola box. She had one herself, but it was in orange, not blue in colour like Yamamoto's.
That means Yamamoto is Vongola…
"Yamamoto, where did you get the box?" Tsuna asked curiously, pointing to the blue box.
The black-haired teen stared at Tsuna for a minute, considering whether he should tell the brown-eyed exorcist in front of him. Tsuna seemed reliable enough, but looks could be devising.
Reborn noticed Yamamoto's hesitant and spoke calmly, "It's alright. Tsuna is the Tenth boss of the Vongola."
Yamamoto eyes widened as he looked at the short burette before him. So he is the one my father was talking about? He's the Vongola heir?
The swordsman bowed. "My father had known and served the Ninth for years. I'm to serve as your rain guardian, Tenth."
"Really, you mean it?" Tsuna asked, not believing her ears. She was going to have her first guardian! However, there was one problem.
"Yamamoto, you have to accept the Black Order's offer to become an exorcist though."
Both Reborn and Yamamoto were confused. Why did Tsuna want Yamamoto to become an exorcist?
"If I'm not wrong, Yamamoto, you are the one we are finding in Japan." Tsuna confirmed. She still had to keep the Black Order under observation while gathering her guardians. The time was still not right to oppose the Black Order.
"So, I can't tell them I'm from Vongola right?" Yamamoto asked, pocketing his box.
Tsuna nodded solemnly. The brown-haired Mago was afraid that if the Black Order knew about Yamamoto and the others, they might try to kill them.
"I understand."
_suShi_
"You are finally back! We were so worried!" Lenalee exclaimed in relief as she noticed Tsuna, Reborn and Yamamoto entering the sushi shop.
Both Tsuna and Yamamoto smiled sheepishly as they reassured the other exorcists.
As Yamamoto went to find his father, Tsuna told her friends what had happened after Yamamoto ran out, leaving the part about Vongola out.
"So Yamamoto has the innocence we are looking for." Allen commented wisely, nodding.
"Does that mean we get to return to the HQ?" Lavi wondered out loud, chewing his last sushi.
Kanda stood up. "I'm reporting back to the headquarters."
The exorcists grinned. They were finally going back!
Hibari just watched the group silently as he finished last of his sushi.
_hQblACkorDer_
"Welcome back, exorcists!" Komui beamed as Tsuna and her group reported to him.
"Isn't it great? We have three new comrades!"
They all nodded. Now there were three more people on their side to fight against the Earl…
Tsuna nodded. Now there were three more family members in her family...

Training room
Kanda was about to enter the training room when he heard familiar voices inside. It was Tsuna, Reborn, Yamamoto, Ryohei and Hibari.
What are they doing there? Kanda did not like the idea of skipping training (due to occupied room). He did not favor the idea of Tsuna alone was those suspicious men either.
The blue-haired exorcist stepped into the room.
"What are all of you doing here?" he asked coldly.
Tsuna, Hibari, Yamamoto, Ryohei all quickly jammed their hands into their pockets at Kanda's voice.
"Hello Kanda…You are here…" Tsuna said, smiling tensely, not meeting the long-haired swordsman's eyes.
The others present pretended to be occupied with their fingers, shoes and the room.
"What are you doing here?" Kanda growled, eyeing the four men behind Tsuna cautiously. There was definitely something amiss.
Reborn stepped forward, smirking. "We are training." Kanda was indeed sharp and alert. However, he was nothing compared to him (Reborn).
Kanda ignored Reborn and glared at Tsuna, causing her to flinch slightly.
"What are you hiding in your pocket?" he demanded, crossing his arms. At Kanda's question, Ryohei, Yamamoto and Tsuna visibly stiffened while Hibari just looked away, annoyed.
Oh no. Tsuna could feel the weight of her sky ring in her pocket.
Oh no. Yamamoto broke into cold sweat, thinking about his rain ring in his pants pocket.
Oh no. Ryohei shifted his eyes on the ceiling, trying not to look at his shirt pocket, which contained his sun ring.
Hibari merely shrugged and yawned. "I'm going to sleep, goodnight." He was careful not to drop the cloud ring as he made his way out of the room.
_flashback_
It was after dinner and Tsuna asked Hibari, Ryohei and Yamamoto to meet her in the training room. It was time to tell them about the Vongola family...
"I believe that all of you have dying will flames." the burette had said quietly as she glanced at the male teenagers in front of her, worried that they would not accept the news. Yamamoto might know about the Vongola, but Hibari and Ryohei did not know.
"You mean this?" Hibari questioned, holding out a ring with flames. Ryohei and Yamamoto too showed Tsuna their rings.
"I see you had known the truth all along." Reborn said, nodding. So they were just pretending not to know…
Everyone snapped their heads towards the exit of the training room when they heard the door creak opened.
_flashback enD_
"Take it out, the thing in your pocket." Kanda snarled, holding out his hand in demand.
"There's nothing inside!" Tsuna lied, blinking hard as she tried to find a way to escape.
She was saved when the door suddenly swung open.
"Tsuna, are you there? It's time to sleep!" Lenalee called.
"Yes, I'm coming!" the Mago sighed silently in relief as she followed Lenalee, leaving Kanda with Reborn and her guardians.
"Goodnight, Kanda!"
"I wish you an extreme goodnight!" Both Yamamoto and Ryohei quickly escaped the scene to avoid further questions from Kanda.
Now the place was empty and quiet, both Reborn and Kanda standing face to face alone in the dark room, not taking their eyes off each other.
