A/N: Fun fact: all of my omake are actually just deleted scenes from different chapters of my story that I just couldn't bare to actually get rid of. I've written up to 20 chapters already and each chapter has been rewritten multiple times. Sometimes, I type up scenarios that just don't flow with the story and I have to get rid of them. I really like some of them though so I end up copying and pasting them onto a separate file and I just put one at the end of every other chapter or something.
So even though I list them as "omake" some are really important and have explanations for certain things, like the one at the end of this chapter. So I hope you all have been reading my omake. OTL.
"I'm sorry, Lambo."
She didn't know why she apologized.
But she did.
Lambo was a smart kid at three years old. In fact, many people in the famiglia told him that he might've been even smarter than his sister was at his age. Lambo didn't know whether or not to believe them since his sister seemed to know everything, but he supposed that it made sense. Maybe his sister didn't learn about everything until she was five years old and thats why when they compared three year old Lambo to three year old Lux, Lambo was smarter. Lambo grinned and nodded to himself, proud of his conclusion. It was impossible for him to have been smarter than his sister, because she was awesome and no one could ever beat her at anything.
If they did, they were lying cheaters who cheated.
Lambo hummed a cheerful tune as he continued to look through the security footages of multiple places that he'd hacked into, with Angel-nii's help of course, but no one needed to know that. You see, Lambo had a goal. His goal was to look for important figures and make them and their famiglia take interest in him or his sister, because fuck the fact that he was a potential heir, he didn't like the way the Bovino family worked and he wanted to collaborate with another family to make his a better place. He wasn't alone in this. His Angel-nii and Aneki knew about his plans, and though his sibling(s) never addressed them aloud, Lambo liked to think that they agreed to them.
Upon seeing his reflection in a black monitor, Lambo winced. His hair was a mess. The child quickly reached toward his hairbrush and brushed out the curly birds' nest that he called hair, briefly remembering his sister telling him of an alternative universe she had landed in after being shot by a 10-year-pistol prototype. Apparently in that universe, he had an afro and wore a cow patterned onesie.
Could you believe that? Bovino Lambo had an afro? And a huge one that served as a pocket dimension no less?
Lambo shuddered and fingered his flat curls as he imagined himself with an afro.
Yeahhh, no.
Never again.
Lambo was reaching past his monitors to place his hairbrush on his shelf when he saw an oddly familiar figure walk into a bar from the corner of his eyes. He froze in place. Slowly, the cow child turned his head to examine the screen. He blinked once...twice...thrice before he sat back down and began to fingersmash his keyboard. Slowly, his monitor screens started to show different angles of the building that the figure had entered.
Lambo couldn't believe his eyes.
There, inside the building, was his Grandpa Bovino, and next to him standing guard were his Angel-nii and Aneki. The three of them were having a meeting with the Arcobaleno Reborn and his student, Dino Cavallone! Lambo jumped up from his seat, his face scrunched up in anger.
How dare his Aneki and Angel-nii abandon him like so? Didn't they know he was trying to get the Vongola to notice him? And that now, since they were meeting with the famous Arcobaleno Reborn, it was his chance? The three year old had never felt so betrayed before. Lambo angrily wrote down the address of the building his sister, her best friend, and her grandfather were in (it was a very popular bar amongst mafioso, by the way) and he quickly changed into presentable clothes. Lambo eyed himself in the mirror one last time before opening the door to his room and looking around, making sure no one else was in the hallways.
His sister had given the subordinates strict orders to keep him inside the building.
Lambo looked to the left, to the right, then back to the left. Once he made sure that the halls were clear, he ran down to the main lobby of their building (their headquarters were disguised as an office building. Isn't that smart?). Lambo pressed his back against their secretary's desk to keep out of her vision. He stayed in the position for a few minutes. When he heard the familiar ringing of the phone and the turning of her office chair, Lambo ran out of the building.
Lambo took in a deep breath of fresh air. He smiled happily at the familiar scent of freshly cut grass. He would have to thank Mister Emiliano for always tending to their lawn sometime and maybe give the guy one of his grape candies too. Lambo skipped to the parking lot of the 'office building' and climbed into the back of one of their many cars. The driver looked up and into his rear view mirror, expecting to find a higher up officer and not the grandson of his boss.
"U-um, Master L-Lambo?" He stuttered nervously. He adjusted the collar of his shirt, "I received o-orders from P-princess Lux to n-not let you o-out of the building t-today."
Lambo sniggered at the title the man had given his sister. He remembered her telling him once that when the three of them were much younger, his Angel-nii had convinced the entire famiglia to call her 'Princess.'
Lambo grinned mischievously, and tilted his chin upward. He crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the driver with half-lidded eyes. He was copying a look that his sister often gave to their subordinates. The look that sent chills down their subordinates' spines.
"Ohoho?" Lambo mock laughed, "Are you denying Lambo-sama of the rights he was born with?"
The driver gulped nervously, "O-of course not, Master Lambo, where will we be going today?"
Lambo's grin widened and he reminded the driver vaguely of Angelo, the best friend of the famiglia's princess. "I want to go here." he handed the driver the slip of paper that he had hastily written on not too long before.
The driver's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you sure this is the right place, Master Lambo? This...is a bar. And you are three years old."
Lambo's grin dropped. "Are you questioning Lambo-sama's choices? Do you think Lambo-sama is dumb for wanting to go there? Do you want to be fired? What's your name, Mister?"
The driver shook his head quickly, "M-my name is Aldafieri, sir. P-please don't fire me. I will b-bring you to the bar now."
Lambo cackled with glee, "Good, good. Mister Aldafieri, how do you feel about being Lambo-sama's personal driver from now on? Lambo-sama will treat you well."
Aldafieri began to shake his head, but after seeing the child's expression through the rear view mirror, he realized that he wasn't really given a choice, but an order. "S-sure, Master Lambo, I w-will gladly take you anywhere at anytime."
"Good." The child chirped, "Now drive. And call Lambo-sama Lambo-sama."
"Y-yes, Lambo-sama." The driver responded without missing a beat. He was questioning the fact that the child wanted to be addressed in Japanese even though they were living in Italy but decided not to voice it, afraid of what the child would do once enraged.
If his temper was anything like his sister's…Aldafieri shuddered.
The ride wasn't a long one considering the fact that their 'office building' headquarters was located in the middle of Milan. Aldafieri soon pulled up into a parking spot in front of the popular bar, and Lambo hopped out of the car sporting a cheshire grin. Aldafieri tipped his hat at the young master as he headed inside the building.
The building's occupants were shocked into silence as the doors were bashed open and a tiny figure emerged.
"GYAHAHA! BASK IN LAMBO-SAMA'S GLORY, MINIONS."
All the mafioso in the room glanced at one another, not sure how to react. All the men and women in the room could deal with blood, gore, assassination, seduction, and things like that. But children?
Nope. Not at all.
A magenta haired woman surfaced from the shadows. She knelt down to the floor, becoming eye level with the young boy. "Hello," she greeted kindly, using the voice that she often used on her own little brother, "Are you lost?"
"Lambo-sama isn't lost at all." He chuckled to himself, "Lambo-sama came here looking for the famous Arcobaleno Reborn!"
The magenta haired woman blinked, her cheeks suddenly tinted a rosy color. "Are you friends with Reborn-chan?" She gushed, "I'm so happy he's finally making friends his age, I was starting to worry." She lifted the boy from the ground and carried him over to her ex-lover.
"Reborn~" She sang, interrupting the conversation he'd been having with Old Man Bovino. She never really liked his famiglia. She despised the way they treated their children. "You never told me you had other little friends." She said, setting the boy on the table.
Reborn gave the child a side glance before rolling his eyes and continuing negotiations with the Bovino family boss. The brat that Bianchi had mistakenly labeled his friend was just the spoiled grandson of the Bovino family, and he couldn't care less about the thing. In fact, he didn't want to be involved with the family at all. Not with the way they worked, and especially not with their current weak status. The Bovino may have been strong once upon a time but after the mysterious disappearance of their Primo, they'd really let themselves go. If not for their well developed weapons, Reborn wouldn't have gotten involved with them at all.
Dino coughed and tugged on Reborn's sleeve. He pointed at the pouting child standing near the Arcobaleno, not knowing how to deal with the situation. Dino...let's just say that after a few situations with younger cousins, no longer knew how to act around young and impressionable children. Reborn kicked the blond's hand away. "Sit still, Idiot-Dino, I'm making negotiations right now."
Dino didn't miss the young girl standing behind the other boss snickering into her hand, and certainly not the eerily familiar "shishishi" of the very familiar looking blond. Dino put asking Squalo if the Vongola's resident Prince had any relatives into his mental checklist.
"What are you laughing at?" The teen mouthed to the two kids standing behind the Bovino boss. He didn't like how they were pointing at him and whispering.
"He called you an idiot." The black haired girl had mouthed back while the amount of "shis" in the blond's laugh increased.
Dino sulked. How pathetic was he? Even the children weren't scared of him.
Lambo studied his surroundings with watery eyes. Why wasn't anyone paying attention to him? Why was everyone ignoring him?
"MISTER REBORN!" He stomped a foot, "TAKE ME AS YOUR APPRENTICE!"
Reborn paused mid sentence, thinking over the child's offer. True, he didn't really like the Bovino family, but they were allied with the Cavallone so it wouldn't be traitorous to train the child since any ally of a Vongola ally was a friend.
But the kid was so...bratty. And Reborn couldn't deal with that.
Perhaps when the child was older then. It would be nice to eventually have a genius for a student. The Bovino grandchildren were often praised for their intellect, after all.
Reborn smirked and continued to converse with Old Man Bovino, already plotting in his head.
Lux raised her hand to cover her mouth as she giggled at her child brother's misery. She stepped in before the child decided to start bawling. "Grandfather," she interrupted the meeting, "Angel and I will be leaving with Lambo. I don't think this atmosphere is good for him...he is only three and for him to be exposed to alcohol at such a young age is...worrisome."
Angelo blinked, "We are?"
She turned to the boy with a glare aimed toward his covered eyes. "We. Are." she confirmed with gritted teeth.
"Shishishi~" He laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head, "Of course we are, Princess." He lifted his friend's brother by the back of his shirt and placed the kid on his shoulders, "Let's go, buddy."
Lux smiled and turned to Dino having noticed his longing gaze, "Will you be joining us, Don Cavallone?"
The blond teen nodded eagerly and left his seat. Bianchi, who'd been standing the whole time, slid into the newly made vacant seat.
Romario stepped out from the the dark corner of the bar and approached the children and teenager. Lux nodded at the man, acknowledging his his existence before leading her crew to the outside.
The three children, teenager, and bodyguard soon found themselves sitting on the stone staircase that led up to the building that their companions were in. Lambo was bouncing on his elder sister's knee, still crying about how the Arcobaleno Reborn had ignored him. "I-It's not fair, Aneki," he blubbered, "I j-just wanted to be noticed by the V-Vongola." he sniffed.
Dino sat up curiously, "Why would you want the Vongola's attention?" he asked, "Aren't you the Bovino boss's grandson?"
Lambo sniffed again, "Y-yes, but he won't be the boss for long. Once Aneki becomes the boss, I know that there'll be a revolt."
Lux and Angelo exchanged glances. Dino raised a brow.
"Aneki w-will be the first f-female boss and n-not many people will like th-that. In fact, I-I've heard rumors of p-people planning to assassinate Aneki so th-that I can b-be the boss. Aneki i-is strong but even A-Aneki can't fight a whole mafia f-family. Th-The Bovino need s-some kind of strong r-reinforcement. Thats wh-where the Vongola come in." He explained through tears, "They'll p-protect Aneki once sh-she becomes boss. A-and they'll help Aneki ch-change the Bovino to be a b-better place. I once r-read that the V-Vongola were once a vigilant g-group so I-I know th-that they are the best ch-choice for this s-scenario."
"Uishishishi~" Angelo patted the younger's boy's head, a proud grin stretched across his face, "You sure have put a lot of thought into this, haven't you?"
"U-Un."
"Saa~ I'm glad to hear that you've put so much thought into my well being," Lux smiled, her single eye now squinted up in happiness, "I didn't think you cared so much."
"O-Of course I care!" The child wailed, "L-LAMBO-SAMA HAS NO ONE LEFT! O-ONLY ANEKI LOVES LAMBO-SAMA! WHO WILL LAMBO-SAMA TALK WITH AND PULL PRANKS WITH AND EAT WITH AND TAKE NAPS WITH IF ANEKI IS ASSASSINATED?"
Lux tilted her head to the side and said jokingly, "How about Angel-nii?"
The child burst into tears.
"WAAAAAH! A-ANGEL-NII'S NOT THE S-SAME!" He cried before climbing off of his sister's lap and punching the older boy's leg, "DON'T," punch, "YOU," punch, "DARE," punch, "TRY," punch, "TO REPLACE," punch, "MY ANEKI!"
"Uishishishishi~" Angelo laughed through the pain, "Your punches are starting to hurt." He grunted before picking the child up and setting him down onto his own lap, "Silly kid, I wouldn't ever try to replace the Princess."
"R-Really?"
"Really."
"Wow!" Dino laughed, "The youngsters sure are smart these days!"
Romario nodded in agreement.
"Say, I haven't learned any of your names yet." The teen smiled, "You guys like to speak Japanese, right? How about you guys call me Dino-nii?"
Lambo immediately ceased his crying.
"HELLO, DINO-NII!" He shouted before jumping into the teenager's lap, "LAMBO-SAMA IS LAMBO-SAMA AND LAMBO-SAMA'S ANEKI'S NAME IS BOVINO LUX!" He purposely 'forgot' to introduce his other 'sibling.'
"Shishishi~ Kid, did you forget to introduce me?"
"No~" The younger of the two stuck out his tongue, "I don't wanna introduce you, Angel-nii- wait a minute."
Angelo sniggered at the boy's mistake.
"I'm Angelo. Nice to meet you, Dino." He introduced himself, skipping over formalities completely.
"Just Dino?" The older asked curiously.
"Just Dino."
"Are you related to any princes by chance?" Dino asked in an offhanded manner, "Any princes named Belphegor specifically?"
Angelo's smile grew into a huge grin, and even before the question was answered, Dino had already seen the huge resemblance.
"That's my cousin~" He sang, "My mother is his mother's twin sister."
"Then doesn't that mean you're part...royalty?"
"Yep~ I'm a prince. Only a half prince, mind you, but still a prince nonetheless." He confirmed and Dino was thoroughly creeped out by how similar the cousins were. "It's been awhile since I've seen my cousin. My parents haven't brought me to visit him since...before the massacre, you know," He laughed, "How fun~ I wish he'd invited me to play too, shishishi~"
"A-ahh, well I'd be happy to drop a message the next time I see the Varia if you have one." Dino sweatdropped, "Your cousin joined them about two years ago."
"Really? Shishishi~ Do tell him to visit me sometime, there's much catching up to do."
It was well past Lambo's fifth birthday when Lux received a call from Reborn.
In the original timeline, after Lambo's fifth birthday, the famiglia grew annoyed of the child and sent him to Japan in hopes that the hitman Reborn would eventually kill the child for them. But they were allied in this world, and Lambo wasn't as annoying as he was in canon. They had no reason to send the child to Japan.
When Lux had figured all of this out, believe me when I tell you she freaked out. She had thought that she'd royally screwed over the timeline and that the Vongola would never meet Lambo and the world would end or something crazy like that. She didn't know what to do.
But the universe did have a way with uniting certain people. Lambo was destined to meet the Vongola, she supposed.
Imagine her surprise when the Arcobaleno Reborn had called her to ask for information about a prison break. The news had spread quickly and she had known about it; it wasn't every day that a fifteen year old boy broke out of a prison famous for its tough security, but she didn't know of the finer details, even if she vaguely remembered some things from her previous life.
Angelo had immediately gotten to it after overhearing the girl's conversation with the famous hitman. He was right there, after all, and he knew that Lux would've asked him to compile files of information for her anyway. That was his job. The fourteen year old popped his fingers to get them ready for the intense amount of smashing that they were about to do. The nearly six year old Lambo hopped into the seat next to the older boy, intending to help, as he too had heard the conversation from his seat across the room.
Hacking into the Vindice database sounded much more fun than doing stupid homework, anyway.
Lux smiled when the phone call ended minutes later, and the two boys immediately noticed her jolly mood.
"What's gotten you in such a good mood, Princess?" Angelo asked, eyes still glued to the monitor screen.
"Lambo and I are going to Japan to personally give Reborn the information he'd asked for. We'll also be staying for an indefinite amount of time."
Lambo tore his eyes away from the screen to give her a disbelieving look, "Really? We're going to Japan? MAMA'S HOME LAND?"
She chuckled lightly, "We are. Angel, I trust you can keep the famiglia in check while Lambo and I are gone?"
"Shishishi~ Of course, Princess." He laughed as he proceeded to compile all the information he'd gathered into a file. "I'll try not to cause too much trouble for the old man."
"Angel-nii, I emailed you some other things that I found. You should put those in the file as well."
"Alright, kid." Angelo grinned, "You're getting good at this, shishishi~"
"I learn from the best, after all."
Lux rolled her eye before approaching the fourteen year old and wrapping her arms around him from behind. He locked gazes with her reflection in the monitor screen. Even though she couldn't see his eyes, she knew he was looking at her. "I'm gonna miss you, Angel. You better send me status reports every morning."
"Shishishi~ Of course, Princess." He laid a hand on top of one of her's, "I'm going to miss you too."
As the Bovino siblings made their way out of the office building, the annoying clicking of heels and a familiar cackle approached them. "Did the old man finally decide to kick the both of you out? It was only a matter of time."
Lux scowled as she turned around and flipped the older girl the bird. "Fuck off, Malvolia."
Lambo gasped, "Aneki! You're cussing!"
"It's alright to cuss if you're doing it to pieces of trash."
"Don't be so rude," The red head scoffed, "I only wanted to see an old friend off. Do greet my sister for me once you get to Japan. It's been years since I've last seen her."
Lux wanted to barf. "You act as if you actually care about M.M...aren't you the one who left her in the first place? After all, it was originally supposed to be you who they wanted to capture. It's a shame the two of you look so similar."
Malvolia laughed, "M.M. didn't mind taking my place. She said so herself when I visited her so long ago."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that…" Lux mused before turning away and walking through the front doors, "I hope you don't cause trouble now that I won't be here to stop you."
"Oh, please. You couldn't stop me even if you tried."
"Come on, Lambo!" The ravenette ignored the older girl.
Lambo stuck his tongue out at Malvolia, "See ya' later, ugly! Don't bother Angel-nii while we're gone, ya' thirsty!" He sang before running out of the building, cackling at her indignant shouts. Angel-nii owed him 47 euros now that he'd said what the older had wanted him to say.
"Welcome to Japan, Bovino siblings." Reborn smirked, "How was your flight?"
Lux yawned, "Could've been better...I'm kind of tired..."
"GYAHAHA, HELLO AGAIN, REBORN!" Lambo shouted, "HAVE YOU DECIDED TO TAKE ON LAMBO-SAMA AS YOUR APPRENTICE YET?"
Reborn ignored the child, "That's unfortunate. Well, my student is still at school with the rest of his famiglia, so if you want, you can just crash at his place for a while."
"ARE YOU STILL IGNORING LAMBO-SAMA?!" The youngest of the three mafiosi shouted even louder, "WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME?!"
Lux rolled her eyes before thumping the side of the six year old's head, "Shouting even louder isn't going to get him to notice you."
Lambo looked up at his sister with teary eyes, "How come he talks to you?" he sniffed.
"Because I didn't shout in his face and act like a brat the first time...or second time I met him."
Lambo sulked.
"Lead the way, Reborn-san." She smiled, "My brother will get you to notice him eventually."
"Oh?" Reborn smirked, "That'll be interesting."
Omake: 10 Year Pistol
"LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT," Lux shook her friend by grabbing his shoulders, "YOU JUST LEFT THE GODDAMNED BAZOOKA ON THE FLOOR? WHERE A ONE YEAR OLD BABY IS CRAWLING AROUND? WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?"
"Shishishi~" The blond laughed nervously, "I didn't think he would crawl into it and disappear. I expected an older version of him at least."
Lux's grip on the older boy's shoulders tightened, "YOU WHAT!? THE BAZOOKA IS STILL AT ITS PROTOTYPE STAGE! WE HAVEN'T EVEN TESTED IT YET!"
"I'm sorry, Princess-"
"NO. NO, DON'T TALK TO ME!" Lux ruffled her hair up in frustration, "My one year old brother could be ANYWHERE! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!" She screamed.
She was this close to beating the daylights out of the blond when suddenly, the room was filled with a pink smoke.
"Shishishi~? A delayed reaction?" Angelo wandered.
An eleven year old Lambo stepped out from the smoke an looked down at the two other children in the room. "Yare, yare," He sighed, "It feels weird being older than the two of you. Greetings, young Aneki and young Angel-nii. I get the feeling that this is the time where Angel-nii stupidly left the bazooka on the floor and I crawled in?"
Seeing that the older Lambo was safe, Lux concluded that baby Lambo was going to be okay too, but she was still mad. "Yes." She smiled, "You sure have grown up to be a fine boy. How's the older me doing?"
"Ah," Lambo smirked, "Can't tell you that, Aneki, but I was just with her before I was sent here, so baby me is probably being taken care of right now. You're lucky that I wasn't in a fight or something. That wouldn't have ended well."
Lux turned to Angelo with a scowl on her face. She shoved him, "YOU'RE SO FREAKING STUPID!" She screamed, thinking of the possibilities, "WHAT IF HE HAD LANDED IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE THE OLDER HIM ACTUALLY WAS FIGHTING?!"
Both of the boys in the room winced at her volume.
"Yare, yare." Lambo pouted, "How does Kyo-nii deal with you all the time? If your anger was already like this at a young age...no wonder you're the way you are."
"Kyo-nii?" She asked incredulously, "Who the hell is that? Wait- What do you mean by that?"
Lambo grinned, "Don't worry about it….you should wear your green eyepatch more often." He commented casually, changing the subject, "The yellow one doesn't suit you." He eyed the one that she was wearing.
"Wait, don't change the subject, mister! Tell me who this Kyo person is! And what did you mean by-"
"Ah, it looks like I'm running out of time." Lambo felt the familiar tingling sensations that he felt whenever he was shot by either the bazooka or the pistol.
"WHAT? NO, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GO YET!"
Pink smoke filled the room.
"God damn it."
"Uishishishishi~"
As the smoke dispersed, a cute giggle could be heard and the black haired baby raised his hands so that he could be picked up by his sister. "'Neki!" He chirped.
Lux ran to her younger brother and picked the child up. "I don't know why they originally made it a bazooka in the first place," she muttered, "It's so big and such a pain to carry around. Also, babies could crawl into it"
Angelo sweatdropped.
"Angel, go tell the Bovino engineers to create a 10 year pistol instead. It's more convenient and less dangerous."
"Shishi, but they just finished the bazooka-"
"Now."
"Yes, Princess."
A/N: I have reason to believe that Lambo was actually 6 years old during the majority of the series.
Cherry blossoms bloom early April in Japan. The Kokuyo arc had to have taken place later in April. Lambo's birthday is in May so somewhere between the Kokyuo and Varia arc, he turned 6. Lux's birthday is in February (the 18th) so she turned 12 already. totally missed all of this while I was writing the first version of the story OTL.
So the current ages are…
5: Lambo, I-Pin, Yuni
9: Fuuta, Bluebell
10: Fran
12: Lux
14: Tsuna, Hayato, Takeshi, Kyoko, Haru, Hana, Chrome, Angelo, Chikusa, Ken, M.M., Most of Shimon
15: Ryohei, Kyoya, Mukuro, Shoichi, Adelheid, Julie Katou, Malvolia
16: Belphegor, Byakuran, The rest of the Funeral Wreaths
20-23: Dino, Squalo, Xanxus, Bianchi
24-27: Lussuria, Levi, Aria
40-50: Reborn, Mammon, Colonello, Fon, Lal' Mirch, Verde
If I fucked up some of the ages, tell me, because I'm going off of memory.
