It felt very strange to be standing here quietly for someone like Amaya to arrive beside the school grounds. Today wasn't the hottest day of the summer, but it was drawing so close to Suzako. A drowsy silence lay over the large school buildings of Namimori.

Cars that were usually gleaming looked rusty and the fake rubble grass looked emerald green.

Suzako closed his eyes against the now dim evening sky.

"What are you doing here?" Amaya asked coldly, her foot tapped the ground with immediate annoyance. She was in no mood to see him afterschool, right when she told him to stay away which felt not so long ago.

Suzako opened his eyes again and raised himself onto his knees to stand up. "I'm wondering why you're here as well." he sighed; for a few seconds they fell into a small silence. "... But I came here to tell you where your father is.."

Sora was lying flat on his back on a couch in the living room. His mother agreed to let Haruka stay for as long as she wanted ( some how Haruka looked a bit ecstatic when she heard that, ).

He often worried having a live girl sleep-over their house, and how he should treat her. Sure he had his mom, but..

"Sora-san! Hurry! Rebirth is hostaged with some weird guy!" "E-EH?" Sora jumped up and ran after Haruka, panting with effort up the second floor. When they opened the door, they saw a strange man dressed up nicely with small Rebirth sitting down with him.

"Hm? Two little children interrupting our time?" A man looked up at them with suspicion. "Should I eradicate them?"

"No, they're the next Vongola guardians remember?" Rebirth smiled.

"This, is Edorado, or Edward. Part of the Vongola Family."

Haruka's eyes widened. She heard that name before, but who was it again..? Ah! "You're Bianci's and Lambo's son aren't you?"

Edward smiled charmingly at the feisty fellow. "So you remember.. little cousin?" he walked over to Haruka and lifted her chin with his finger. "You've grown so much. You even have a cute boyfriend ther- GALUNK!" he fell to the ground when his angry cousin punched him directly into the face.

"He's not my boyfriend dammit!"

Sora yelped in surprise. "Haruka! Please don't hurt your cousin! You two are family aren't you guys? So please.."

Haruka blinked in surprise- and slowly saddened by the word 'family'. Sora must have been reminded again of his father..

"Sora-san., I'm sorry. I shouldn't have punched him, so please don't cry."

Sora looked up with deep sadness in his eyes, but smiled at Haruka's soft voice, calming him down. ".. Thanks Haruka-chan.."

Edward realized he caused a dramatic scene and found himself guilty for the cause. He looked worriedly over to Rebirth for advice, but the baby was still smiling her strange cat smile.

"Relationship. It's good to get close with your mafioso members and trust each other."

Sora and Haruka smiled together. So Rebirth wasn't in real danger at all..

"That reminds me.. I haven't told you of my relationship with Rebirth have I?" Edward said quite optimistically.

Rebirth? In a relationship? "Wow! Congratulations Rebirth!" Sora chimed happily.

"That's why Rebirth left early from school to meet me here~"

"That makes sense.. but why didn't you tell us Rebirth-san?"

"Hmph. Edward is not my fiance and I didn't come here to flirt. (I'm not that kind of person..) We were preparing how all of you will meet your parents."

"Eh? But I only have my mom.." Sora said confusingly.

Rebirth chopped her dumb student on the head with annoyance.

"Baka! I'm your tutor!" "R-right!"

"... By tomorrow everyone will gather at the underground base to train, so sleep early before you wake up being thrown out of the window."

"Yes ma'am!"
