"Akashi-kun, if you don't mind, can you tell us more about the Vongola Successor?" Momoi asked Akashi with curiosity laced in her voice.

Momoi turned around to face Akashi from her seat, which happened to be in front of Akashi's. Midorima who sat next to Akashi acted as if he did not give a damn and continued reading his novel; however, he is secretly listening to the conversation of the two. Kuroko and Kise, who sat behind Akashi and Midorima, also showed their head on Akashi's/Midorima's seat's top, while Murasakibara on the other path (but was still next to Midorima's seat) also stopped his munching and lent his ears to hear Akashi's news, except for Aomine whom sat next to Momoi sleeping while snoring.

Akashi sighed, "I thought it would be the best if you know him by himself. To be honest, I have never met him in person."

The teens showed the looked disappointed at their captain's answer, however Akashi continued, "But I heard he lives in Namimori and on his training with acquaintance of mine. And I doubt he'll be someone great because he was trained by him."

"I need to research him." Momoi mumbled, keeping in mind to do the task.

Kuroko looked at Akashi blankly; a small glint of curiosity in his normal empty teal eyes can be detected. "By the way, Akashi kun, what is his name?"

"Sawada Tsunayoshi.", Akashi replied before they entered a tunnel.

Everything went black; when they reached the end of the tunnel, they could see light in front of them. Their rainbow eyes met the blue sky; the rainbow haired team (excluding Aomine) turned their attention to the wide clear blue ocean that cascading like a navy blue carpet. Seagulls that flew through the air making them see how free they were.

"Get yourself ready. We'll arrive in 15 minutes." Akashi ordered and every one of them went back to their seats and position.

Vongola

Tsuna wondered why Reborn brought Hana along. In addition, why is onii-san's face is red and has been quiet since morning? That is very out of character from him. More surprisingly, he sat next to Kurokawa Hana.

Moreover, he was somewhat surprised to know Hibari-san is coming with them (although his hatred towards crowd) and choose to sit on the top of bus. Typical of him but that is just too crazy!

Not only that, he felt that something is not right since he entered the bus, he felt that something is wrong…

That is right! This has something to do with Mukuro. He expected that Mukuro would hide himself with illusions, which is probably right. Because the seat next to Chrome is empty she kept fidgeting, and she kept spacing out since she started to sit there.

His brown eyes turned into Bianchi's seat.

There, lay the unconscious Gokudera Hayato on his sister's lap with a compress on his forehead. Tsuna's hyper intuition told him that Gokudera started to open his eyes, but he when he did, he saw Bianchi's face and fell unconscious, again.

'Poor Gokudera-kun', the brunette thought, feeling pity for his friend and his self-proclaimed right hand man.

His eyes brought him to the window, seeing panorama in front of him. It has been 2 hours since their departures and crystal blue carpet of nature caught his eyes after the bus was out from the tunnel.

"Look Kyoko-chan! It's the sea!" Haru chirped, pointing at the sea that looked like a blue carpet.

"Yeah, it's beautiful! Hana should see it too." Kyoko asked Hana who was busy with her music; her seat happened to be in front of Kyoko's and Haru.

"Oooh… It seems that we'll arrive soon, right?" Hana commented.

Tsuna, whom heard Hana's comment decided to asked Reborn one specific question, "Hey Reborn, are we here yet?"

Reborn who was in his steward's costume, jumped to Yamamoto's head (since he's the tallest) and got everyone's attention, with a microphone in hand, that appeared out of nowhere.

"Everyone~ since we'll be here soon, I have an announcement." Reborn spoke in the microphone, in steward style.

"Why're you on that costume?!", Tsuna asked or more like shouted in wonder.

"Actually, Vongola has been working together with Akashi Company and has been in good terms for centuries." Reborn continued as if he didn't hear Tsuna.

Tsuna, who realized that Hana is there, choose to interrupt Reborn "Oi Reborn! Don't bring the Vongola topic here!"

Hana twitched and criticized Tsuna, "Oi Dame-Tsuna. Don't think that I don't know anything about you and Vongola or even mafia thingy? Ryohei never kept a secret to me you know!"

Tsuna dumbfounded, how did she know about the mafia and Vongola anyway?

"Huh? What, why are you with onii-san, anyway?"

"You don't know Tsuna? They're dating since last week." Yamamoto commented. That made Tsuna ashamed of himself, is he that dense even Yamamoto realized their relationship?

Reborn cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention back to him, "Next is, I decided that Haru, Hana, Kyoko, and I-Pin will be on the different villa."

Haru, who was disappointed with Reborn's arrangement asked, "Why is that, Reborn-chan? Now I can't live on the same roof with Tsuna-san again!"

Tsuna blushed and somehow felt slightly annoyed, thankfully, Gokudera woke up just in time and jumped from Bianchi's lap, "You woman! Don't say something like that!"

"What do you mean Gokudera-san?!" , the brunette girl yelled as she started their argument.

"Now, now", Bianchi's voice made Gokudera froze as if he got a magic spell from a wicked witch.

"Let Reborn continue, Hayato, Haru."

Haru pouted in defeat while Gokudera almost freak out and immediately took a seat away from Bianchi's presence, which is near to Tsuna's.

"So Tsuna, you mustn'tshow any shame from Vongola in front of Akashi and the others." Reborn threatened, while smirking ominously.

Tsuna froze; he knew the consequences if he does something wrong and it meant him suffering for the better or worse.

"And as Yamamoto said, they played basketball, and they are labeled as prodigies on basketball world. The Generation of Miracles is their title, because of their talent in basketball. And I think they can use their talent as advantage on something."

Tsuna sweat dropped before he asked Reborn carefully, "A-are you going to add them to family?"

"Who knows?" Reborn answered, mysteriously however Tsuna already knew the answer.

"YOU-?!"

"Have a problem, Dame-Tsuna?" Reborn shot a death glare at his student.

Tsuna ducked and shrieked in a girly manner. "HIIIEEEE!"

"Are you going to make us play with them, kid? Basketball is not really my subject." Yamamoto raised his hand to ask the ex-Arcobaleno.

"Who knows?"

"Of course basketball is not your subject, baseball idiot!" Gokudera insulted, however Yamamoto only laughed at the insult as if it was a joke.

"Hahaha, that's right!"

Gokudera seemed to have lost his temper, suddenly shouting. "You…!"

Tsuna, who felt Gokudera should stop before something will happen, decided to calm the silvernette down. "G-Gokudera-kun, calm down."

Gokudera stiffened, and followed his boss' request, which he thought is an order. "Y-yes, juudaime."

"I think that's all. The bus will reach the destination on 15 minutes. Please don't leave any things and if in any case there's a lost thing, it is not our responsibility." Reborn ended his speech like a steward on the plane and went back to his seat.

Yamamoto, who sat next to Tsuna started a conversation, "By the way Tsuna, what did you bring from home?"

"Uhm… Clothes, swimming trunks, and many others."

"Oh, I thought you bring your box and gloves, no?"

That reminds him. He never left his box and gloves although he didn't want to bring them. Especially on a vacation, but his hyper intuition told him to bring his fighting equipment and Natsu.

"Uh.. Yes."

"No need to worry juudaime! Because I, Gokudera Hayato, won't let you get hurt and blow everything on your way!" Gokudera barged their conversation as his ten fingers pulled dynamites out of nowhere.

"W-wait! Don't bring your dynamite here, Gokudera-kun!"

"Whoa, you guys bring your weapons? I thought I were the only one who brought my Shigure Kintoki.", Yamamoto laughed freely.

Reborn with his suit entered the conversation, "You finally bring weapon on your will, Tsuna? Finally you're acting like a boss?"

"No! I just brought them in case there'll be something." Tsuna denied Reborn's idea.

"You won't be able to deny it anymore since you are officially a candidate of Neo Vongola Primo."

"Eh, is it true Reborn-san?" Gokudera asked because a sudden change for Tsuna's nickname.

"NO! I told you I WOULD NOT be a mafia! And I WON'T be Neo Vongola Primo or whatever you like to call!"

"Yes it is true.", Reborn, ignored his student once again and answered Gokudera's question.

The silvernette rubbed his chin as if he had an imaginary beard, looking like he is thinking hard on something, while muttering. "I see… Should I change juudaime's name into 'Primo'? Ah, but 'Juudaime' is better." Gokudera decided.

"Why do you just bought it?!"

"S-sorry, juudaime..." Gokudera bowed, guiltily as if he did a sin.

"Hahaha, It's great for you, right Tsuna?"

"Yamamoto, too?!"

"Maa, maa... Anyway, do you want to see their face? I brought a sport magazine here." Yamamoto lightens up the mood by changing the conversation's topic. He gave them a magazine where a boy with scarlet hair holds a basketball like the one he's going to shoot it from his right hand and blonde boy with a same uniform dribbling a basketball as the cover, the word "Generation of Miracles" as the title of the hot topic of the magazine.

The raven-haired boy opened the cover as he turned the page into the main issue. Tsuna and Gokudera turned their attention to the magazine, looking surprised, especially the brunette since he saw so many pages just for the topic.

"Whoa, the articles are so long! They must be that awesome!" Tsuna commented.

Gokudera, who actually didn't want to admit it, only commented, "Tch, UMAs are still better."

Tsuna smiled worriedly.

His eyes turned into the articles. The Generation of Miracles or GoM for short has his own different kind of talent even the manager is discussed. He could tell that the red haired teen is Akashi Seijuurou. The successor of Akashi Company, and he probably had a connection with mafia because of their connection with Vongola but he hopes that he doesn't have one.

Yamamoto turned the pages until he finished.

Tsuna asked to himself 'Aren't they having the same hair color and eye color with their family's name? And I think they did not discuss the Sixth Man... Did he get forgotten?'

A/N: I made this fic before Akashi ver 2 out. And I realized Akashi ver 1(kinder one) calls others with their family names and the ver 2 (emperor one) calls them by their first names after he competed with Murasakibara. But in games (Akashi has already entered Rakuzan there), ver 1 still called Kuroko and the others by their first names. So just assume that naming thing is not a big problem okay?
