Tsuna blinked as he looked at the child in front of him. The boy was covered in dark brown dirt and red scabbed scratches. "Who's this?" he asked finally – turning his eyes up to look at Kyoya and Ryohei who stood on either side of the boy.

"His names Akito," Ryohei answered – placing a hand on the boys' brown locks and Tsuna swore he saw a puff of dirt rise.

"And where did he come from?" Tsuna prompted as he shifted his arms over his papers. It was nothing against the boy but that was a lot of dirt and Reborn would kill him if any got on him.

Kyoya spoke this time, "We found him at the Fulmine Families mansion." A look in Kyoya's eye made it clear to Tsuna that the boy was the only survivor of an attack against his family.

"And why is he here instead of at the Orphanage with Kyoko and Haru?" Tsuna knew how most kids would take those words so he wasn't surprised when the boys eyes widened a bit and tiny hands clenched. The Vongola Orphanage wasn't a bad place though, Chrome and the girls had made it a state of the art facility and nobody ever stayed long when the Vongola had so many members and allies.

Ryohei looked his eyes with Tsuna's own, "I wanted to make sure it was okay for me to adopt him."

Tsuna froze for a minute before saying, "Is Hana okay with this?"

"Yes," he answered. A sad look came into the usually hyper sun guardians eyes, "It's something we've talked about a lot since the tests came back. Akito is exactly what we've been waiting for."

Tsuna looked down at the boy, who instantly looked a little fearful. He put on his brightest big-brother smile and asked softly, "Do you want to go with Ryohei, Akito?"

"Y-Yes!" stuttered the younger brunette.

Tsuna nodded and leaned back in his chair, "Okay than. Just get the adoption papers from Kyoko and Haru."

Smiling widely, Ryohei thanked Tsuna and led the boy out of the room. When the door closed behind them, Kyoya said, "You know, we should consider kids too."

"We should, shouldn't we?" Tsuna answered with a laugh.
