Hope that you all continue to enjoy the rest of the drabbles as well! Much Thanks!

"Good evening, Leandro," greeted a raven haired man with a small smile, as he took a seat at the end of the empty bar. It was still early. Most of the customers that frequented this bar were not likely to venture out for another few hours. That was just how the young man liked it, less chance of anyone figuring out his identity.

Said young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, wore a rather plain navy blue sweater over a simple white dress shirt that was paired with black jeans. He also had on a pair of thick-rimmed glasses, that he irritably pushed up as he placed his order, "A Fernet Branca straight, please."

Leandro raised a brow in mild surprise at the request but nevertheless began setting up the drink. "Haven't ordered that in a long time, Vongola Decimo," commented the bartender quietly when he finally finished and set the shot in front of the young man, "I see you have taken to raiding your tutor's disguises again."

"I thought I told you to just call me Tsuna when we're alone," retorted the Vongola as he accepted his drink with a faint look of annoyance, "I just borrowed some of his dye, these are my own clothes."

The bartender gave a small smile as he returned to cleaning and setting up the glasses for later use, "Of course, Decimo."

The young man shook his head and gave a helpless shrug before he took a sip of the distinctively pungent and bitter drink. He closed his eyes and did not hide the small grimace at the initial taste.

It was true that it had been a while since he had last had such a drink. But he did relish the harsh taste and the warm feeling he had from the minty after taste. He had first had this with Xanxus of all people. The Varia boss had scoffed when he had let slip that he had never tried any amari liquors and promptly dragged him to a bar. He had almost choked at the first taste of the bitter drink but after a while, it began to grow on him.

He sighed happily before looking at the bartender curiously, "How have things been going with your daughter?"

The bartender chuckled as he checked a shot glass for any marks, "Pretty well. She managed to get the president of the IBA to endorse her for the elite program."

"She managed to convince that president?" muttered Tsunayoshi, eyes widened in astonishment, "That's crazy. Though she always did have a way with words."

"Viola says she wants to surpass me," continued Leandro, a proud glint in his eyes, "But I'd say she already has."

"Well, she did learn from the best," supplied the Vongola with a knowing smile, "After all, your mixes are one of Reborn's favorites and he's as picky as hell."

Leandro tilted his head slightly in acknowledgement of the praise. Prior to starting this bar, the man had made a name for himself both at home and overseas, claiming many accolades in competitions he had participated in. But that was not all that he worked at. This man was also a very talented informant though only a select few knew of this, Reborn being the one who had introduced him to Tsunayoshi.

The Vongola took another sip as an easy silence fell between the two. The few times that Tsunayoshi had requested the help from the man, he had been given a plethora of information that boggled his mind. How could the man have gotten so much when he spent most of his time behind a bar?

Leandro had only given a cryptic smile when he had asked, "There are a lot of things you can hear in my field of work."

However, most of the time, the young Vongola like to just come for a drink and chat with his guardians when he had time to. Though there were also times where he simply snuck out alone, masqueraded as he was now.

But this was only when things got hectic especially during meetings. He sighed as the mere thought of them started the tingling of a headache that he did not want to deal with.

"The advisors that Vongola Nono assigned you are getting rather rowdy, aren't they?" said Leandro suddenly, as he pulled a bottle from the rack behind him.

A wry smile appeared on Tsunayoshi's face, as he tightened his hold on the glass "They've been… trying to do some things that I don't approve of."

The annoyance that seeped into the Vongola's voice was noted by the bartender who frowned slightly, "The deal with the new family." He stated as he poured some of the liquid out into a rounded glass with ice, "Word has it that your advisors are not happy."

The Vongola gave a rather vicious smirk, "I know."

"Is it wise to provoke them?"

"It's part of the plan." answered the Vongola with a careless shrug, before downing the rest of the shot. As he placed the glass back down, a look of determination burning in his eyes, "And they'll realize soon enough that they chose the wrong person to mess around with."

Leandro simply shook his head in amusement, pushing the finished drink towards the Vongola boss. "I am sure it will be a sight to see. Ginger-ale."

Tsunayoshi only smiled innocently as he accepted the drink. "It helps that they still think that I don't know what I'm doing."

At the questioning glance, he continued, "They have actually told me that I'm hedging because I supposedly don't know anything about the family."

He absently swirled the drink, "They don't know that one of my guardians has already found rather some rather interesting transactions, illegal, mind you, that the family had conducted at the urging of one of the advisors."

"You're planning something big aren't you."

"Oh, you have no idea," said the Vongola, smile slipping back into a smirk, "Things are going to get pretty heated, Leandro. Expect it."

Leandro could not help but chuckle once more, changing the topic to something more interesting. The advisors had better watch out for the young Vongola.

*IBA- Internation Bartending Association, and yes they offer an Elite baretending course that is for young aspiring bartenders so as long they obtain an endorsement from the president of the IBA.
*Fernet Branca-Originated in Italy, it's a favorite in Argentina and is also popular in San Francisco, where they use ginger ale as a chaser.

This one was really random. The idea just popped into my head as I was getting ready to sleep and I just had to write it. Hope you guys like it. The next one will have more guardian boss action, particularly one elusive Cloud.
