Chapter 13
Tsuna immediately turned on his recording device on his earphones by pretending to scratch his ears. Thanks to the jeans and t-shirts he just changed into half an hour ago, he now looked like a young Japanese tourist lost in the middle of Palermo's maze-like centre, unable to understand one sentence of Italian. So the two men just ignored him as the noisy background.
"Tomorrow night, seven'o clock, we will sneak into the clam through the lion. Boss said that he will go straight to seek the pearl while the underbosses will deal with the shells. Our kids shall use the dyes to create a shine that everything is alright. Then we shall leave at the time of the werewolf."
"Understood. So shall I tell this information to my group of kids?"
"That's why I am here, Mr. Underboss VI."
"Thank you very much, III."
What the...? These two people behind me are two of the eight underbosses that is going to join the fight? A drop of sweat slid down his forehead. It was rumoured that if three or more of the underbosses come together and cooperate with each other properly, they have three hundred percent more power than their boss. But that is if they cooperate with each other, not standing alone. This was quite hard for these underbosses since they enjoyed fighting with each other during their free time, which is one of the reasons why every six or seven months, the boss needs to replace his dead underboss with a new one. But when it comes to time like attacking the Vongola Family, they will cooperate with their 'comrades' with all their will and power. Tsuna just heard those information in the dark alley beside this street. Seems like the enemy family - some family called the Vassallo family with the boss called Bernardino Vassallo - sent the information that they are having a battle with Vongola through out the Cosa Nostra /Mafia society...
Suddenly, Tsuna heard something interesting from the two people talking 'peacefully' behind him. His eyebrows rose as soon as he heard the first sentence.
"I heard from VII that there was an explosion this morning in the Vongola Headquarters. He was near there this morning for a 'leisured' walk." The guy being called as III suddenly lowered his voice. "Then VII said there was smokes coming out of the main hall with the smell of Sky Attribute flame. Could it be that the Vongola is fighting within itself? Since the only two people wielding the sky attribute flame in Vongola family are Xanxus of the Varia and Vongola Decimo, not counting Nono since he's already out. Could they be fighting?"
"You trust the information source?" VI said even though there's hesitation inside his own voice. "Vongola's a pretty stable family, no offence."
"Well, the source is VII, the most honest kid out of us eight, I guess you can trust him,too." There was a hint of smile inside III's voice. "If they are fighting with each other right now, it's gonna be so easy on us tomorrow. I just got information from VIII, the youngest of us all, that the full group of Vongola Guardians was jumping around the headquarters this lunch time like they were trying to find something, shouting the name like, uh, a really weird Japanese name which starts with a T."
"Nakamura Kai's secret nickname?" VI smirked. "I bey Nakamura Kai got really pissed and went into hiding or something. This stupid coward."
"Maybe." III nodded. "Nakamura Kai wasn't present during the manhunt by the Vongola guardians. I bet they were trying to find him!"
"That stupid baby, uh, I mean the sun Arcobaleno wasn't present either, that's what VIII said." VI said slowly. "III-nii, I think the Arcobaleno's up to something. He was going to the Giglio Nero headquarters to meet the rest of the Arcobalenos about one and a half week ago, then they went to Japan. The Arcobaleno looked exceptionally worried before he arrived at Japan but when he came back he was happier than normal from the look of it. It's definitely not good."
"Ah, finally, our young VI learned how to observe! Well, we will find out tomorrow. I have to go find my kids now, see ya this evening at you-know-where!" III whispered as he sneaked into a dark alley running quickly. VI went to an opposite direction and was gone within three seconds.
"So they went looking for me..." Tsuna murmured to himself. Even the Vassalo family noticed the explosion, he made the game a little too big. The two underbosses totally misunderstood the situation. They didn't realise the existence of former Vongola Decimo, Sawada Tsunayoshi. Which is actually good for Tsuna meaning he can live a peaceful life inside this world, with no contact with the mafioso or any mafia families what so ever. He can desert the life he just picked up out of habit a few days ago right now. Also the sad memories that he just got.
But people can hesitate at making this kind of situation, for Tsuna, it was even harder. Just a few hours ago, he 'bombed' the Vongola headquarters and 'ran away' like a criminal on the wanted list. But during the past few days, he enjoyed the life he was living for six years. Now at the age of twenty, he was used to being attacked by strange weird looking people with scary killing intents and seeing blood zooming out of his body two seconds after those people appeared. If you tell Tsuna to go live a peaceful life in a countryside in Japan, he would feel extremely awkward and can look like an idiot. The life he lived in the past few days brought him joy and happiness. Even it means just standing beside his friends and only watch them through a distance, it will make his heart satisfied.
Even it means being accused by your very own friends who you want to protect with your life that you are a traitor or a spy to them? Tsuna asked himself trying to control his tears. It had been a while since he had cried like this, four years? Five years? Do I even have the forgiveness that great for even them? Do they even think me as their friend?
At that point, Tsuna lowered his head. He remembered his friends sacrificing their lives for the sake of Tsuna, for Tsuna just to live a little bit longer than them, even one second will be good. Just a little bit longer, and they will exchange their lives for it. And now, he was hesitating on whether to protect them or not on a simple business of misunderstanding? What kind of asshole am I? Tsuna smacked his face lightly, waking himself up from the depression.
Even if they are from another world, Tsuna whispered in his head, even if they don't trust me, I will help them!
If they don't trust me, I will gain their trusts; if they don't understand me, I will explain everything to them; if they are not friends with me, I will at least try to stay by their side; if they won't accept me, I will just help them with whatever skills I have. Just think it as a repay to the them of my world, just think that they will finally get you one day, risk your life for it!
That was when Tsuna finally decided. He was going to help the Vongola family by telling them the information first through whatever way he can find and going back to the Vongola base to train them and prepare everyone for the fight afterhand. But first of all, a hint of hopelessness appeared on Tsuna's face.
Nah, first of all, I need to put down my dignity and fix the wall of the Vongola headquarters with my own hands. Some kind of bitter smile appeared on Tsuna's face as he disappeared quickly into a dark alley.
Hospitalisation Room, Fourth Floor Vongola Headquarters, Palermo, Sicily.
"Reborn?" The first face Nakamura saw as he opened his eyes was the cold face of his family tutor, "What happened? Why are you...EEK!" Nakamura shouted as he realised the fact that he couldn't move his left arm properly and that he was in the No.1 Hospitalisation Room. "Why am I here?" He shouted in pure surprise. "What in the world happened to me?"
"Sawada Tsunayoshi hit you with his X Burner while you shielded yourself with your left arm after you accused him of being a spy." Reborn said slowly, still holding a cold face.
"Ah, that." Nakamura suddenly cooled down. "I remembered that. That Sawada Tsunayoshi. Well, was he a traitor then?"
"No, he wasn't." Reborn said as he took off Leon from the top of his hat turning it into a revolver. "He was definitely innocent. After making you pass out, Sawada Tsunayoshi left Vongola using the time we tried to find you in all those rubbles. He took away all his luggage and left us a message saying that he enjoyed his short stay at the Vongola family and he said he was sorry to cause you all those trouble."
"How did you know that he was innocent?" Nakamura said as he stood up slowly. "You cannot read his mind, can you? You told us that two days ago during dinner. How can you know that he wasn't lying? He knew the code to enter the Vongola office and he knew the signing pattern! How can you prove that-"
His words was cut off by Reborn's shot of bullet, hitting Nakamura right in the stomach.
"Stop that shitting act, Bernardino Vassallo, Kai don't have the gut to say that to me. And dame-Kai don't even have to thought of doubting his friends. He will never call Sawada Tsunayoshi a spy no matter what. Dame-Kai dosen't even have the brain for it." Reborn said as he put his gun back onto his hat. "Show yourself. I know why you are here."
"Nah, you found out~" A joking tone, then the outside edge of 'Nakamura Kai''s body started to dissolve, showing the outside edge of a man around thirty, a man with reddish hair, mixed with blonde stripes.
"Hey, Reborn-chan, how's your new boss?" Bernardino Vassallo said as he flicked his long hair to the back of his head, smiling like a fox.
Double trouble, trouble double. When its the time, shall we head away from the light?
