"Ehh?" Dino raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Nobody's here…" He looked around; two long, sleek black cars sat on the road, and a few of Dino's subordinates stood with him. "I swear I told Reborn when I'm going to pick them all up…" He scratched his head. He flipped out his cellphone and dialed a number. The other end of the line began to ring, and someone picked up.

"Dino? What is it?"

"Y-Yeah, there's one…small…problem…"

"What do you mean, small problem? It's a gigantic problem, whatever it is! We're all packed up and ready to leave tomorrow. If things don't go the way it's planned-"

"Allegra, if it's still because you're distressed about your daughter's death-"

"Shut up! Tell me what it is!"

"Kaia's still alive."

The line fell silent.

"…w-what?"

"Soto and Jasmine had to leave before it was confirmed. She recovered consciousness a few days ago, maybe a week, I believe. But…" Dino sighed.

"What is it?" Allegra's throat constricted itself on itself, afraid of what Dino was going to say next.

"I don't know how it happened, but Kaia had seen everything of the Sky Battle."

"Is she still conscious right now? Can I talk to her? And is she alright? What happened?!"

"Calm down, calm down. I know it's stressful, but I'm guessing Kaia is perfectly conscious right now. Reborn called me with an update about her current status, in case you ever call me."

"Why wouldn't you call me right then and there?"

"There's something else… In the Sky Battle, she had defeated Xanxus-"

"WHAT?!"

"Okay, I-I'll just tell you everything later. I have to cut to the main problem here, and it doesn't seem to be something that'll be resolved very soon…"

"…what do you mean, Dino?" Dino could see Allegra narrow her eyes.

"Reborn doesn't seem to be anywhere, and neither does anyone else seem to be here. Does your doll know?"

"She tells me of smelling a particular smell – can you smell it?"

"Hmm…y-yeah, I do. What is it, and what does it have to do with…our little problem?"

"The Ten-Year Bazooka smoke's odor, that's the smell. It's broken, and it seems to have hit…some of them."

"What?! Why couldn't you have told me earlier?!"

"I was busy, dope-head! Don't you think I have enough to worry about already?!"

"Do you know who was hit?"

"No, but who was supposed to be there?"

"Tsuna and his Guardians, of course, and Reborn. Nobody is here."

"Then who would you expect to be there? Obviously, people like Hibari Kyouya and Rokudo Mukuro wouldn't be there."

"Reborn would definitely be here, as well as Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto. Chrome is probable. I'll need to do some checking around for everyone. I think Kaia was supposed to be here as well, and she's one that wouldn't break rules like this, especially with Reborn around, as well as the others. I'll get you an update later. For now, don't tell anyone about this. Tell the Ninth, though, about this, and the meeting at Mafia Land must be re-scheduled. It's best if I wait for attendance at school; nobody would dare skip class with Kyouya around."

Dino flipped the cell phone off and got into the cars. The expensive vehicles sped off to their first destination – Yamamoto's sushi shop.

Why Yamamoto's sushi shop? Well, the sweet scent of food isn't something one would resist, especially if one skipped dinner in the midst of rushing over to Japan.

Poor Dino. Skipped dinner. Must be really hungry. xD

Anyway, please review! Another scene will be coming tomorrow!

Have an awesome summer [break] everyone!!
