FOUR

"Can I see that drawing, Juudaime?" Gokudera asked. They were at Namimori Shrine. Reborn had gathered the Guardians, including Shimon's Guardians and Squalo, Bel and Xia, so Tsuna, with the help of Xia, could explain what's happening.

"Ah, sure," Tsuna took out the drawing and gave it to Gokudera.

"I don't understand, Tsuna-kun," Enma admitted.

"Oh, right. You guys don't know about the battle in the future," Tsuna remembered. "Well, you see, those rings are part of the Trinsette. It has actually the power to see the futures. Or parallel world, to be exact,"

"Amazing stuff," Aoba nodded. Ryohei grunted in agreement.

"Well, sure. But it's dangerous if you use it in a wrong way because you can share information for the other you that could lead in destruction," Yamamoto grinned. How could he say that with a face like that? Tsuna thought.

"Kufufu," Mukuro stepped forward. "I would like to ask why I'm here? I have no intention in participating in Mafia related conflict," He turned away. "I'll be taking my leave. Chrome?"

"Mukuro-sama," Chrome said hesitantly. "I would like to stay for a bit,"

"Oya, oya. Very well then," He chuckled and vanished. That was a first, Mukuro thought.

"Vrooooi!" Squalo yelled impatiently. "Get on with it, you scum! I don't see the point of calling us here when we know already,"

"Well? Any plan?" Adelheid asked, pissed. She was glaring at Squalo.

"A-ah, well. I don't really have any plan," Tsuna admitted.

"Don't joke with me!" Adelheid and Squalo yelled.

"Hieeeeee!" S-scary, Tsuna thought.

"You're pathetic, Tsuna," Reborn sighed. "As of now, we want everyone to be on their guard. And, we want everyone to try to find any lead,"

"This is boring," Lambo whined. "Stupidera! Go buy me grape candies!"

"Shut your trap, stupid cow!" Gokudera yelled. He swallowed his temper and looked at Reborn. "Reborn-san, I think I have an idea about them,"

"Really?" Xia cried out.

"Well?" Reborn walked towards Gokudera.

"Well, you see. I stumbled upon them back in Italy when I was nine. And well, I remembered that their cloaks had this sign on them. Few days later, there was a report about a massacre near the area I found them," Gokudera explained.

"How scary," Tsuna shuddered.

"Ushishi. Looks like I'll have some fun for a while," Bel grinned.

"A-ano," Chrome spoke up. "Actually, Mukuro-sama saw them when Vindice took him to prison,"

"Seriously?" Tsuna cried out. This is getting complicated, he thought.

"Still, how come the Vongola HQ hasn't found any leads?" Xia asked.

"Probably they are hiding somewhere," Yamamoto guessed. That could be, Tsuna and Xia thought, nodding in synchronization.

"Or probably they erased all information about them," Enma also guessed. Once again, Tsuna and Xia nodded in synch.

"Or maybe someone already murdered them. Ushishi," Bel grinned. And again, Tsuna and Xia nodded in synch. Reborn threw a slipper at Tsuna and Xia.

"Ow!"

"Oi, Reborn! What was that for?"

"You two are annoying," Reborn glared at them.

"That hurt, you know!" Tsuna complained. Xia snorted and chuckled. Enma blushed. S-somehow, she's c-cute, he thought. Bel noticed Enma's red face and glared at him. Enma flinched, scared from Bel's glare.

"Just get on with it!" Adelheid and Squalo yelled. Yamamoto laughed.

"Anyhow, Xia will report this to Vongola HQ. If they find the location of that group, we'll immediately take action,"

"Yosh!" Ryohei yelled. "We'll pound them to the extreme!"

"Ossu!" Aoba yelled. Yamamoto laughed at the energy oozing off them.

"A-action?" Tsuna repeated. "You mean?"

"Meaning we'll immediately find them and take back the rings,"

"Eh?" Tsuna blinked. "W-why us?"

Reborn smirked. "The 9th issued a request for Vongola Decimo to cooperate with the Mare rings recovery," He pulled out a paper with a Dying Will flame on the top.

"No way!" Tsuna groaned. Reborn smirked.

"Right then. Stay alert. Meeting's over," Reborn announced.


Xia slumped on her chair after she finished contacting her father. The 9th told her they did find a lead. The mysterious scythe group were active even before Primo formed the Vongola Famiglia. Xia sighed, thinking deeply. The 9th also said that they were known as Falce Di Giustizia. They were a famiglia said to be a vigilante group before. Some rumor has spread that they had a grudge on Vongola for rising to the top and leaving them into the shadows. Because of the rising, they went hidden and erased all traces about them. Now, they are known as Sepolto Falce.

Xia groaned and laid on the couch, closing her eyes. "This is too much,"

A sharp object poked her cheek. "You can't even take the stress. Ushishi,"

Xia opened an eye and saw Bel grinning at her, sitting on the floor.

"I don't even know why father wants me to meet with Tsu-kun and plan out a strategy with him,"

"Hmm," Was all Bel could say. Xia sighed.

"Nii-chan doesn't even talk to me that much anymore," She muttered.

"Ushishi. The longest conversation you had was two minutes, and you were four back then,"

Xia groaned. "You don't have to remind me," She sat up and stood. "I'm going to Tsu-kun's house. Want to come?"

Bel pursed his lips. Xia grabbed her coat and waited for Bel. He sighed, and smiled a bit. Oh, well, he thought. I'd follow you anywhere.


"And that's it," Xia finished. She had finished telling them about what the 9th told her about Sepolto Falce. They were in Tsuna's house, Tsuna and his Storm, Sun, and Rain guardian, Enma, Xia and Bel.

"So, they had a grudge on Vongola," Gokudera said. For being at the top and making them retreat into the shadows? Tsuna thought. There must be something else. On the other hand. He glanced at the three infront of them. Enma was blushing like a tomato, and Bel was glaring at him, grinning menancingly. Xia was at the middle of the two, oblivious to the tension in air. Tsuna sweat dropped at the sight. Why are those two so tense? He thought.

"Then, what's the plan now?" Ryohei asked.

"We're going to Italy," Reborn announced as he launched a kick at Tsuna. The Vongola Decimo fell, face first.

"Italy?" Everyone exclaimed.

"Are you serious, Reborn?" Tsuna asked in disbelief. "I don't have a passport!"

Yamamoto laughed. "Neither do I, kid,"

"NEVER HAD ONE TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei yelled.

"And that's why I made the first step," Reborn smirked and took out three passports. "Here are your passports,"

The three grabbed their passports. "Amazing," They chimed, literally sparkling.

"You didn't do any threatening, right?" Tsuna asked. Reborn made a face, like trying not to smile.

"Who knows," Was all Rebon said. Hieeee! Tsuna thought. He really did threaten them!

"At any rate, we'll leave tomorrow. All Guardians, including Shimon and Varia, must be present,"

"Including Hibari and Mukuro?" Yamamoto asked. "That doesn't seem good,"

"That's true," Tsuna agreed. Reborn smiled slyly, as if he had a plan already.

"Ano, Reborn," Xia spoke up. "Actually, the others left for Italy already so it's only me and Bel.

"Eh?" Enma blurted. "Only the two of you are staying at the hotel?"

Bel grinned thriumpantly. Enma looked dumbfounded. Reborn sighed and muttered about middle schoolers.

"Just pack your bags and meet at the airport," Reborn said finally.


AN: I'm not sure with the Italian words here. I used Google Translate and well, it's not exactly reliable.
Falce Di Giustizia means "Scythe of Justice".
Sepolto Falce means "Buried Scythe".

^ That explains why their logo is a Scythe.
