A/N: hey again!:D okay this is a two part chapter thing. This chapter is in Ieyasu's point of view or.. More like in the point of view as the people in Namimori. Tsuna's view will be shown in the next chapter. So the endings will be similar:) enjoy!


"What's so great about Caelum, anyways?" Takeshi asked as the three of them walked to class. Ieyasu tilted his head at that. Gokudera ignored the fact Takeshi was the one to ask as he clasped his hands together and gave a loving gaze at the sky, "What's so great? Caelum has been trained to be a hitman since he was 5! And not just that, but by the most strongest people in the world!"

Ieyasu had heard that information before and tried to picture what he was doing as a five year old. The memories were completely blank to him.

"When he first came out to the world he was 8 and he was rumored to be a freelance assassin who wore a pitch black cape. No one ever saw his face." Gokudera switched his tone of adoration into mystery. He added to the effect by making strange hand signs. Takeshi laughed while bringing his hands behind his head.

"Wow, so in the game Caelum's a hardcore assassin?"

"IT'S NOT A GAME!" Was the immediate response from Gokudera as Ieyasu rolled his eyes and opened the door to class where Caelum was sitting on the desk by the window with a cellphone open. He left the two bickering behind him as he jogged over to the brunet who looked a little peeved.

"Don't talk, stay silent for a minute." Caelum said automatically as Ieyasu slapped a hand over his mouth in shock. Ever since that time in the hospital, Caelum had started to open up and speak. Ieyasu hadn't managed to escape getting teased by his tutors since then. Caelum signed as he messed with his bangs and glared out the window and finally turned around to face him.

"Okay, I'm good."

Ieyasu smiled as he lowered his hand. Before he could speak something hit him in the back of his head making him cry out and whirl around. He was met with steel Gray eyes of a head prefect before he slammed the classroom door closed. Gokudera stuttered after him as Takeshi laughed and held him back.

"What was that about?" The assassin asked sounding way to amused. The blonde frowned while rubbing the back of his head.

"I don't know, he's been doing it all week. Since he isn't trying to kill me my intuition doesn't act up. Its a little annoying. Anyways, what's wrong?" He explained looking for an exit on the conversation(since they were little Hibari showed affection through pain. The only possible conclusion Ieyasu could come up with was that he was being forgiven in payments).

"Well..." The other boy kicked his legs for a moment before looking at the anxious blonde. "I'm being reassigned. It started a little earlier today, reason I missed first half of school..."


Tsuna yawned loudly before reaching for the coffee mug while side stepping a passed out Colonello. Reborn held a gun in his hand from the other side of the kitchen, his shirt unbuttoned and hair messed up.

"Its seriously way to early." The brunet grumbled as he poured himself a cup of coffee. Reborn glared at him before slamming the gun on the table and kicking the blonde on the floor.

"Don't sneak into my room when I'm asleep. Let this be a lesson to all of you." The hitman growled before taking pleasure in torturing his colleague. Tsuna sighed before taking in the coffee with a small smile. A buzzing made him look to the side where an innocent black phone was ringing.

"Reborn, phone." The brunet said casually as the hitman stalked over and snapped it open. Before he could manage a hello a loud "ARE YOU AWAKE, REBORN?!" was coming out of the phone. The tick mark on the dark haired mans face grew as he clenched the phone tightly. Tsuna winced at the tiny cracks he was hearing.

"How else am I going to answer the phone if I'm not, you blonde idiot!" Reborn snapped before reaching for his gun. Tsuna knew Reborn wasn't a morning person and this was still considered a good morning compared to others(the worst experience he had in his life was when Skull woke up Reborn and they had to come up with money to repair the street the hitman had destroyed). With quick thinking he grabbed the coffee pot before trading items with Reborn and placing the cellphone to his ear as the hitman took a quick gulp.

"Reborn is unavailable. State your business with me." Tsuna said professionally his voice deepening as Reborn enjoyed his coffee in silence.

"Caelum? Perfect! I've got a job for you! Vongola Nonno requested for your presence in Italy in days time. CEDEF is requesting you along with Colonello and Lal." The man exclaimed loudly as Tsuna grabbed his coffee and took a sip.

"My direct mission is with Reborn. I will need complete certification in order to be reassigned. You do have the paper work don't you?"

Ietmitsu completely sobered at his harsh tone as he cleared his throat. "Of course. Vongola Nonno ordered Reborn to remain in Namimori and oversee Ieyasu's training while you be transfered to us for a side mission before you can return to join Reborn again. Right now our men are tied and Nonno trusts you enough to do this favor for him."

Tsuna winced slightly at the ending of his speech. Nonno requested it personally meaning if he refused he was going to be abused by the damn family and he'd rather not go against the most powerful family out there. There was also the fact most of his own family worked for Vongola willingly.

"Fax the details." He stated before snapping the phone shut and sliding it over the counter. He glowered at Reborn before ducking from the pillow being thrown at him by Lal who just woke up.


"Oh, so that's why Reborn wasn't in this morning." Ieyasu blurted the minute school ended and Caelum told him his tale of being reassigned.

"How long are you going to be gone?" The blonde asked innocently as they made there way to the Sawada house. Gokudera had been picked up by his sister while Takeshi said he had family over and had to go home right away. Ieyasu didn't mind that much. He would prefer his friends not seeing him get his ass kicked by a brunet shorter then him.

"Don't know. Reborn will let me know since he was in charge of finding out the details." Caelum stated innocently. Ieyasu looked back towards the street while feeling a weird feeling in his stomach. It was going to be weird without Caelum beside him and watching over him.

"Caelum." A voice said making the blonde jump in surprise before turning around. Reborn was walking over calmly, with Leon perched on his shoulder. "I got the details. Return to base and leave. Lal and Colonello are waiting for you at base."

The blonde looked at Caelum feeling the sad feeling well in his stomach. He smiled at the hooded boy who had gripped his backpack strap tighter.

"Ah, alright. I'll be back as soon as possible. Ieyasu, don't slack off and I wish you luck." The assassin turned walking towards the hitman who had grabbed Leon. Ieyasu frowned in confusion before rubbing the back of his head.

"Wish me luck? For what?"

"For my training, idiot-Ieyasu."

A green gun was pointed in between his eyes as the blonde squeaked and ducked from the bullet. The next three hours were spent with a trigger happy teenager and a screaming blonde the thought of Caelum in the back of their minds.


Takeshi let out a little sigh before throwing himself onto his bed. Two weeks and he was still here. He knew better then to be mad Asari had come home but a nagging feeling in his head told him Asari had different motives. But it wasn't just that. He had the feeling Asari and his father were hiding something from him. He closed his eyes hoping for a nap until some knocked on his door.

"Takeshi, dad wants us to head out on deliveries." The older Yamamoto said with a small smile. Takeshi sat up, rubbing a hand through his hair before smiling and nodding. Why was the world constantly trying to pin him to his brother? They gathered the orders and left a grinning Tsuyoshi behind to tend to a flock of customers.

Asari didn't talk much but continued to smile despite the slightly awkward tension between them. Takeshi enjoyed the time spent with Asari. It was better then finally getting down to the problem and talking. He was usually easygoing but even he understood the boundaries between people.

"This is the last one." Asari said while shifting the bag on his shoulder and walking behind Takeshi smiling. The baseball player gave another smile before taking the lead. The silence was slightly comfortable. With a shaky smile Asari decided to start up conversation.

"So, how did you and Caelum meet?" It was a simple question that Takeshi deemed harmless.

Takeshi smiled up at the sky while pondering on what to say, "Caelum saved my life when I slipped on the roof. Then he asked me to join in his mafia game."

Takeshi smiled at his brother until he realized the serious look in his blue eyes. The baseball player swallowed nervously while coming to a stop.

"He asked you to join the game? Why would you join it?" Asari asked giving his complete focus to Takeshi who looked slightly confused. It was just a game. Even if Gokudera claimed it wasn't, Takeshi couldn't believe it was real. Something in the back of his head was screaming at his obliviousness. Ieyasu was going to be the tenth Vongola boss and Takeshi, Gokudera, and Caelum were his subordinates. It seemed like a good game and Gokudera was so enthusiastic with his dangerous fireworks!

"Ieyasu and Caelum saved my life. I would do anything they asked." Takeshi said honestly. Asari pulled back with a small confused expression.

"Ieyasu?"

"Ugetsu!" A voice cried out making the older Yamamoto's body go rigid before he turned to the group of men walking their way. Takeshi stared in complete confusion.

Who was Ugetsu?

"Seems like our sources were right. The famous Asari Ugetsu was in Namimori!" The older man with slicked back hair said with a snicker. His eyes landed on Takeshi who was beyond confused. His dark green eyes lightened dangerously making Asari step forward to grasp the arm of his little brother.

"Brothers? The swordsman has a little brother living in Namimori Japan. How amusing."

Takeshi took one look at his brother and felt something clench in his chest. Asari's eyes were narrowed the easy going smile completely gone as he reached for the object on his bag, one arm holding Takeshi firmly placing himself protectively in front of him. It reminded him of his younger years when Asari protected him from older bullies.

He didn't want to admit it but he thought Asari didn't feel protective over him since he left. He felt mad at the thought his brother wasn't as close as before. Now that it was back the tug of familiarity was back.

"I suggest you leave. Now." Asari ordered his voice firm and demanding. In one long gracious movement, a silver katana was unsheathed from his back. The other men reached for their own weapons as Asari pulled himself protectively in front of Takeshi. The baseball player was thrown back by his brother as gun shots went off and his brother moved expertly with the blade.

Takeshi was in a state of shock.

He couldn't hear anything as he focused on the back of his older brother. Of his only brother as he attacked the men without an ounce of fear. He did it all while keeping a stance of protection in front of Takeshi. Takeshi felt a sick feeling of realization strike inside him as he clenched a hand over his chest.

The Takeshi who didn't take life as a simple joke sprung to life as he recognized the graceful movements of his brother.

He was practiced in the blade.

He was holding a dangerous aura.

His brother was going by the name Asari Ugetsu.


Ieyasu blinked away sleep from his eyes as he heard a click come from Reborn's direction. The hitman was laying on his back on the floor while playing with a customized gun. On the side of the gun, a name was carved in professionally. The hitman had shrugged out of his coat earlier and his hat was laying beside him with Leon happily crawling around the mans chest.

In all honesty, it was quiet without Caelum(which was strange since Caelum never really made any noise to begin with) Ieyasu could feel Reborn's irritation at Caelum being taken away, and he could relate. Ieyasu got used to Caelum's constant presence beside him. Caelum was a mysterious person but he cared about those close to him dearly. Ieyasu remembered the time Caelum would sit up beside him and just listen to everything the blonde had to say.

Caelum accepted everything around him and it made Ieyasu smile brightly. The blonde turned back to his book with a small smile before remembering the first session he had with Caelum after the Nagi incident. Caelum had been his anchor during his struggle in keeping his hyper dying will mode on. Caelum was always going to be a mystery to him but he could still remember the first time he saw the assassins eyes. They were a burning orange color and he was pretty sure they weren't Caelum's real eye color. He decided he'd ask Reborn for some details.

"Reborn, are Caelum's eyes really orange?"

The hitman peered up from petting Leon to look at his student.

"No. His eyes take on the orange color when he goes into hyper dying will mode. Just like yours do."

Ieyasu nodded at that before cocking his head to the side with a small smile. "If they're not orange, what color are they?"

Ieyasu stared in amazement as Reborn actually gave a small smile. He quickly covered up the smile with his hand but was unable to hide the amusement in his eyes. The blonde felt like he was being mocked but knew better then to bring it up to Reborn. He didn't need any more bruises thank-you-very-much!

"Its a secret idiot-Ieyasu. Maybe you'll figure it out later." The blonde frowned before turning back to his book in annoyance.

What the hell did that mean?


Gokudera had thought he made it clear that he didn't like the baseball idiot, Takeshi. Takeshi was to easy going and he constantly found himself doubting Reborn's decision in letting the idiot join Ieyasu's family. He respected Reborn but what could he possibly gain by letting a baseball idiot into the family?! He thought he had made it pretty clear to Takeshi that he didn't like him.

That's why he was surprised the idiot had the nerve to come to his house at nearly midnight and smile like nothing was wrong.

How did he even get his apartment number?

Takeshi was wearing a blue hoodie with a smile on his face. Gokudera got ready to slam the door in his face until Tales hi decided to speak.

"Can you tell me who Asari Ugetsu is?"

The silver haired bomber clenched the door in suspicion as he caught the look on Takeshi's face. The smile had disappeared and was replaced with a firm determined frown. His warm brown eyes were lit up in alight turmoil as Gokudera felt his tongue click in annoyance before he stepped aside to let the baseball player in. Gokudera was dressed in a regular white muscle shirt with blue plaid pajama bottoms, he wasn't about to stand outside in the cold to explain something like this to Takeshi.

"What brought this on?" Gokudera asked innocently as Takeshi stood in his tiny living room with a curious expression on.

"You know about the mafia, right? You're the only one I could think of that would know that name." The smile was back on his face but the bomber could see how forced it was. Takeshi sat on the couch before looking at the ring on his finger. It was a blue styled ring looking identical to the one Gokudera was currently wearing. It was the ring Caelum had given to them during his last trip to the arcade.

"Asari Ugetsu is a young free lance assassin who is rumored to have taken up the spot of the worlds greatest swordsmen Tsuyoshi."

He did his research on Asari because of his involvement in the mafia. But his idiotic older brother had also made him curious about Asari. He respected the famous swordsmen as much as he respected Reborn and Caelum. He came back to reality when he realized Takeshi's body had frozen up and his eyes were gazing at the coffee table in blank surprise.

"Tsuyoshi?" The baseball player let out a small laugh before covering his face with his hand.

"Asari? God I'm an idiot. This whole time..." He trailed off before looking at Gokudera with pained brown eyes. Gokudera felt a frown tug on his lips as he crossed his arms over his chest.

He hated Takeshi.

He shouldn't feel like comforting the idiot like a friend would.

"Gokudera... How much is true about Ieyasu and Caelum? The mafia games?" His voice was shaky and Gokudera knew the wrong answer would break the baseball player. He chewed on his lip before staring into the others eyes with a slight glare.

"Haven't you been listening you idiot? Everything's true! Ieyasu is going to become Vongola Decimo and Caelum is a strong famous assassin!"

Takeshi didn't answer as he cupped his hands on the side of his face and stared at the small living room. After a moment of silence the brown haired male got up and looked at Gokudera with a calm expression.

"Then that means Ieyasu and Caelum need me to be strong for them. So that's what'll do!" Gokudera stuttered in shock as the taller male jumped up and ran to the door before throwing it open.

He looked over his shoulder to smile brightly at the bomber, "Thank you so much for helping me, Gokudera! Thanks to you I can start to help my friends out!"

"I DID NOT HELP! DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA, BASEBALL IDIOT!"

He hated Takeshi, but he still felt glad the baseball idiot managed to get over his little problem.


Reborn sidestepped the attack Ieyasu had tried to deliver. The blonde jumped back while wiping the side of his face where sweat had started to get her. His orange fiery gaze was looking Reborn over again and the hitman gave an amused smirk. They had been sparing for over two hours and Reborn hadn't broken a sweat. From where they were practicing, Takuto was keeping Lambo entertained as Bianchi lay on her stomach in a skimpy bikini.

She was giving him those sultry eyes as if asking him to join her. He was trying to let her down gently but Bianchi was a firm and stubborn woman. Reborn ducked from a kick and quickly quickened his own movements to dodge the blondes punches. He was getting quicker. It seemed his hyper intuition was starting to pick up on his movements.

Hyper intuition wasn't something to take lightly. Only the descendants of Vongola Primo had the famous and strong intuition. If Ieyasu mastered his intuition then he'd become as strong as the first Vongola boss. Reborn grabbed the blondes wrist to check his students reaction speed. The blondes eyes widened before he turned his heel and tried to land a kick. Of course he didn't hit his target and ended up on the ground with Reborn holding him down with his foot.

But Reborn clearly saw Ieyasu's progress. Before he could mock the younger boy a shrill ring made him look up and reach for Leon, who turned into a cellphone. He ignored Ieyasu's protests in favor for answering the personal call. Only a select few knew the number to his Leon cell. He had his original cellphone in the house but Leon was for emergency cases only. It set him on edge as he pressed the talk button and pressed it to his ear.

"Chaos."

"Reborn, we have a little problem." Tsuna said hesitantly as Reborn felt the familiar worry and fear settle into his stomach. Tsuna always managed to get a reaction out the hitman. Tsuna had a special place in his heart and after hearing those words from Tsuna, he couldn't help the nervous feeling he felt.

"Vongola Nonno was unable to stop Xanxus' escape. He's going straight to Japan for Ieyasu and Ietmitsu whose on his way home. He's carrying the rings with him... Reborn..."

The hitman felt a curse slip his lips as he released Ieyasu and took a breath.

Fuck.
