The Adventures of Skull and Ri

9.1: Italy, France, and Money, Oh my! Part 1

Nono stared at the lithe form of the cross dressing male, the entire Simon Family, the Decimo and his guardians, and a rather random collection of future Vongola, Varia, and his own people with a fondness he hadn't felt in a long while.

Already things had started going rather insane.

Ri-dono had, quite pointedly and quite violently, labeled the rules for the next month in Italy.

They as followed were:

1) If there was a fight it was outside and they were not allowed to use their flames or flame-based equipments.

2) If they broke anything during the fight they were not to be healed using their flames but subject to the nastiest of potions he had to heal them with.

3) If they dared to break anything of his, ie the house or its parts, they would suffer under Ri-dono's tutorship which involved a lot of unmentionable pain judging by the smile that appeared on his face and the shudders the more rambunctious of the Simon Family went through.

4) All children under the age of eighteen were required to keep an open door policy if they had guests in the room.

5) Buddy Policy meant staying with at least one person if you were under the age of eighteen and all of the younger children like Lambo and I-Pin were not to leave the company of an adult. Prior notice to any adventuring was required to be okayed by Ri-dono before leaving and no arguments if he turned it down or ordered additional guards. They were in a foreign country and part of the Mafia, they needed to be protected.

All in all, Nono thought they were reasonable guidelines.

As of their arrival a week ago, there had been at least ten different fights between the assembled members, Ri-dono only having to break up only four that dared to start in the hallways. There had been trips to the beach, since they were on an island that Ri-dono owned, a short jaunt to the mainland for a cozy dinner cooked by someone who wasn't Ri-dono or one of his amazing servants, Polly or Maggie, two female house elves who delighted in having children to spoil with food. There were shopping trips for the women taking them via one of his personal helicopters and the boys had roaring fun on the wild assortment of dirt bikes, dune buggies and other paraphernalia they raced around on.

Nono had chortled in pleasure when he'd beaten out a laughing Nana-chan and Tsuna-kun duo by a full minute. He got to watch his foolish adopted son, Xanxus loose badly to Ri-dono in a shooting match featuring some of the best sharpshooting he'd seen in a long while.

And this was only the first week.

He couldn't wait to see what chaos they caused once they went to Rome, Venice and the other cities.

Maybe he'd even join them instead of lazing around being served fruity cocktails, good whisky and wine, and flirting with the young pretty nurse/masseuse who had the body of a Swedish runway model but the hands of a massaging God.

Ri-dono was amazing.
