A/N: hey guys! Bringing this, late early? I don't know. I'm on break and I've been lazy. I seriously think of this story constantly and how to improve. I have an idea and I'd like your thoughts on it.

Like in Khr, my story has arcs. Obviously Varia and another one. I was thinking of doing three arcs in total however I'm not sure if I'll do the last one. I can't tell you specifically what each arc is due to spoilers. Let's say Future(kind of) and Arcobaleno(again kind of). If you'd like me to add three arcs tell me and I'll start planning it out.

Thank you guys so much for reading this story! I love each and every one of you! You make this young lame author extremely happy with each Review! Love you and hope you enjoy this, apologize for mistakes and stuff. I try hard but I'm not perfect.

"What do you think?" The blonde CEDEF boss asked as they observed the fighting pair in front of them. Reborn pulled off his fedora to run his hand through the black locks as he gave a small sigh.

"We can do it. But it'll be cutting it extremely close. He hasn't used gloves before so Caelum is the only one who can teach him." The hitman leaned against a tree, noticing the hesitation in igniting the gloves along with the slow movements. Tsuna had noticed it as well. He stuck his leg out slightly and managed to snag Ieyasu's ankle and send the blonde to the ground.

Relaxing his stance Tsuna sighed, "Ieyasu. What's wrong? Your movements are really lacking ever since you got the gloves. This is the only chance we get to teach you to use them we can't have your mind wandering." The blonde panted before looking at the brunet and sighing.

"I'll be off. You will take care of this?" Iemitsu asked the hitman as he stood up. Reborn didn't respond but nodded while placing the fedora back on his head. "Send Basil over when you get the chance."

The CEDEF boss left with a nod as Ieyasu slipped out of hyper dying will mode and stood up shakily. "The flames aren't easy to control. Its... Weird..." Ieyasu said while clenching his hands into fists. Tsuna walked up to the brunet and took the gloved hands into his own, lighting both of them.

"Jump into hyper dying will mode." Like a spark, Ieyasu jumped into it, golden eyes calculating every single movement Tsuna did. "Its warm and its soft. Can you feel that?"

Curious, Reborn leaned off of the tree to get a better view. He didn't recognize this method of teaching flames. He taught the brunet all about the gloves. He expected Tsuna to use the same methods. Watching the brunet and the blonde exchange and feel the flames he realized the bond between them was deeper then he expected. It was shocking to see how similar they were. Not only were their flames identical in purity, the resemblance between them was uncanny. Without either of them noticing, they managed to connect on a level beyond Reborn's complete understanding. He knew it wasn't a bad relation.

It wouldn't hurt Tsuna and that's all he really cared about. He watched Tsuna stand up from the pain and suffering of abandonment and start to live again. It had been a few shaky months when they first met but the brunet showed his resolve and wormed his way strongly into their hearts. To see Tsuna be defeated because of another friendship(or in this case family, though he wasn't 100% sure) would make all the arcobaleno reach out to protect their youngest member(besides Uni). Reborn would be beside the brunet and would protect him from those painful memories the child didn't want to relive.

He was brought out of his thoughts when both snapped back from each other the flames responding to each other. Tsuna looked as stunned as Ieyasu. Walking towards the two he stared directly at Tsuna, whose golden eyes were widened in slight surprise. They began to calculate what happened before looking at Reborn.

"Well?"

Ieyasu got up as well, rubbing his wrists under the gloves. "Well, I tried to push the same amount of flames into Caelum's hands. And he did as well. Usually it fades together but it..."

"It synced but... Broke." Tsuna explained wincing while rubbing his wrist. Synced? Reborn walked towards Tsuna and grabbed his wrist to take a better look. Did their flames actually combine to form a basis attack?

"Continue showing the main process of the gloves. For now he needs to be able to face Xanxus. We can explore this later on." Tsuna nodded at the orders before looking at Ieyasu. "Our next move will be propelling." Reborn walked back to his spot under the tree while thinking about any possible relations between the two. He forgot about the pocket watch Ieyasu had been carrying since Talbot gave it to him.

"Alaude, why the fuck are we all in the same room together?" An irritated red head snarled while grabbing a green haired teens shoulder to shove him into the small office.

"I agree. Couldn't you have at least chosen a place with larger windows?" The purple haired illusionist was closest to the window, looking highly irritated.

"I'm claustrophobic." A small voice squeaked.

"Now, now, I think its quite cozy." The swordsman said from the seat next to the priest who looked a little uncomfortable. The police officer sat behind his desk, rubbing his temples, trying to squash the temptation to kill all the others in the room.

"Shut up, before I strangle you without telling you where he is."

It was the perfect statement to shut up the rowdy bunch as every stared at the French officer. Alaude looked at the files that were given to him by the Sawada child as he grimaced. An eight year old was becoming an information broker and was selling to him. A high class police officer. Shielding his damaged pride he pulled out the photo he needed and set it down on the table.

"There's a difference to our... Boss." The group all peered at the photo before chatting amongst themselves. There was a blonde with untameable hair and startling blue eyes. Only he appeared to be a boy of fifteen years. "I have found him. We have to meet him on Saturday. He will be participating in the ring battle with guardians." There was a few outcries as he held up a hand to silence them.

"Ask questions when the day comes. This is the boy we've been looking for. Ieyasu Iemitsu Sawada."

He was getting better. Ieyasu's speed was rising and he was starting to see through Tsuna's moves. At this rate he could finish the fighting training today and leave three days for the blonde to go through Reborn's. Tsuna gathered flames into his hands to quickly dodge the blonde's punch. He hadn't expected Ieyasu to follow him. His flying was shaky but Tsuna knew his hyper intuition was guiding him. Fighting in midair wasn't new for him, in fact it was his best ability. Being able to fly and attack had come in handy many times even if he never used the gloves to fight. His assassin skills only ranged from a gun, quick martial arts and his knife. The gloves had been given to him by Leon and Reborn had forced him to master it in case he would need it later. He dropped to the ground only to jump back up at Ieyasu's kick.

He dodged the quick punch and caught one of the flaming fists before it reached his face. Ieyasu pushed him back as they held hands, fighting for dominance. Gritting his teeth, Tsuna glared slightly at the blonde before managing to shove him away. They both stopped to gather their breath. It had been the second time Ieyasu had gotten that close. At the rate both of their stamina was draining Ieyasu would collapse or Tsuna would get hit by the blonde.

"That's enough, Caelum." Reborn called making the teenagers jump and stare at the hitman. Staring at the hitman they realized a dirty blonde stood beside him.

"Basil?" Ieyasu questioned, quickly slipping out of hyper dying will mode. Tsuna did the same before approaching them. Basil smiled lightly but Tsuna could see through it.

"Greetings. I hope to serve as a good opponent." The CEDEF member bowed graciously to Ieyasu, who started to stutter in protest again.

"Basil has the rain flame and for the next part of your training you will need him. Caelum has taught you enough on combat and the sky flames." Reborn explained.

"Let's get started, master Ieyasu!" Basil exclaimed while igniting his rain flame on his forehead and pulling out a weapon.

"What? Oh shit."

Basil attacked without warning as they set out on the next part of training. If Tsuna was looking correctly he'd say Basil actually looked excited. "What's wrong?" The brunet asked the moment Ieyasu was distracted. Reborn walked back to the tree gesturing for Tsuna to follow.

"While Iemitsu looked over the other guardians and their training he ordered Basil to look after Takuto. It wouldn't do good if varia officers appeared and took Takuto. It seems Basil lost him earlier this week and the boy went missing again. I want you to find Takuto and keep an eye on him. The kids up to something and I want to know what." He leaned against the tree while explaining as Tsuna nodded. Reborn looked back to the fight for a moment.

"Reborn... Why do you look nervous?" The brunet asked it before taking a step closer to the hitman. He knew he caught the hitman off guard, Reborn never showed his nervousness that well and Tsuna was one of the only ones who could pick up on it.

"Tsuna"

"Don't say you aren't. I'm not stupid, you know."

With that said the hitman sighed while lifting his fedora up slightly. "Call it a hitman's sixth sense, but something doesn't feel right." Tsuna clasped his hands together staring into the hitman's eyes. The brunet felt a nagging in his head that something wasn't right. "Just be prepared for anything, Tsuna. Go."

With the order of dismissal, Tsuna turned from the hitman and ran into the woods. The entire time he felt his stomach flip nervously.

"Uncle Daemon?" A shy voice asked making the group look at the young girl who had entered. She wore a black uniform, showing off a pale torso along with knee high boots. Her dark purple hair was pulled up into a pineapple sort of style and an eye patch covered one of the deep purple eyes.

"Chrome, what's wrong?" Daemon asked while leaning off of the wall to approach his niece. The girl shifted nervously from the others stares before sighing.

"I-I met with a man today and he told me something." G could tell Daemon didn't like that by the way his shoulders hunched up.

"A man? A man was touching my dear Chrome?!"

"Hold up melon head she didn't say that." G interrupted before the illusionist could call up his scythe. Chrome blushed heavily as she looked down to her hands. "T-Thank you, G. Um... The man told me if I knew who Ieyasu was... And I said yes, because Ieyasu helped save my life!"

She didn't realize the sudden change in atmosphere at the mention of that one name. "And he gave me this." She held up her hand and revealed an oddly shaped ring, one that made everyone jump up.

"The Vongola mist ring. Chrome, why would he...?" Daemon broke off, going rigid as he stared around the room. Alaude noticed the illusionists posture as he went to grip one of his hand cuffs.

"Hey..." Asari said as he stood up from his seat, narrowed navy blue eyes looking around carefully. There was a thick moment of silence before a single gunshot rang into the room, shattering the glass from the window.

Daemon was the first to react as he grabbed Chrome and forced her down, shielding her with his body. Alaude ducked, quickly using a bed for cover as G cursed loudly. Knuckle had taken Lampo down automatically making the green haired teen squeak out in surprise. Asari had ducked down beside Knuckle, holding onto his katana tightly.

"Who the fuck are they after now?!" G screamed as he loaded a gun glaring out the window.

"Does it really freaking matter, pink-haired idiot!" Lampo screamed from Knuckle's grasp and nearly got shot again but was saved by Asari's blade.

"The cow boy has a point. Not only are the underworlds most dangerous assassins gathered in one place but Chrome is holding the mist ring." Daemon snarled, glaring at the Italian man.

"Now, now, its not the time to fight." The rain user said tensely.

"Just shut. The. fuck. Up." Alaude hissed while spinning a hand cuff in his hand. Jumping out from under the bed he tossed the flame covered weapon to its destination before snarling an order, "Go."

They quickly filed out, Daemon being one of the first as he sent Chrome forward.

"Next time, I choose the fucking hotel room." G snapped, glaring at Lampo who scowled at the other. Chrome was the first to open the hotel lobby door and had run out into the street, Daemon trailing behind her.

"Shit, Chrome!" G cried out making the girl gasp a bullet whizzed by her. Daemon cursed, about to grab her for protection when a dark blur grabbed Chrome by the waist and forced her down for protection. Not taking a moments hesitation, Alaude and G used the distraction to reach the attacker as Daemon summoned his scythe to take care of the back up.

"Knuckle, get Lampo out of here." Asari ordered the minute his comrades were distracted. He wrapped his blade in blue flames to help when he realized the person hovering above the scared Chrome. The figure wore a hood and had snapped his head up at Asari's look. The pink lips parted slightly before a small smirk was seen. Asari didn't bother with formalities as he ran forward ready to halt the assassin with one move. The assassin reach to his side, pulling out a regular knife before deflecting the blue flames.

"Never thought we'd meet, Caelum."

The teenager grunted before raising his leg to kick the swordsman back. With space between them a burst of sky flames appeared on the teens forehead and covered the silver knife.

"Its shameful we had to meet in this small town." Asari stated calmly, his eyes showing the mistrust. Caelum silently tilted his head, looking towards Chrome who was clutching a necklace to her chest.

"Asari! The hell are you doing?!" G cried, making both assassins look at the struggling pink haired teen.

"We have company." Caelum said, startling the assassin who had never heard the boy talk before. A group of men appeared, wearing a black leather uniform. Asari swore he recognized it as Caelum walked forward in front of Chrome who was still startled.

"Nagi, I have a present for you." Caelum spoke slightly as he kneeled in front of the girl. Daemon gripped his scythe, ready to give the assassin a piece of his mind until the assassin touched the girls hand lightly. Like that Chrome jumped, purple eye wide in surprise.

"Thats..!" With a finger to his lips Chrome smiled brightly at the assassin before he turned his attention to the men in front of them.

"Aren't those Varia uniforms?!" G exclaimed standing beside the others. Asari felt nervous with the younger assassin but nodded. It seemed Caelum was involved with the attack and the man they were looking for.

"Hand over the mist ring, girl. Or this boy, gets it."

A small brown haired boy appeared out of nowhere as all the men stood mystified. Before anyone could react Caelum had sprang forward, elbowing the attacker in the gut as he grabbed the child around the waist and using his knife to back hand the one behind him. Maneuvering the child he tripped the third attacker and kicked the last, efficiently knocking each of them out.

"C-Caelum!" The eight year old cried out in surprise as the assassin relaxed his stance. Now facing the group he raised the boy on his hip and put his knife away. He looked into all their faces before sighing slightly.

"You got a shitload of explaining brat." G snarled slightly as Caelum groaned softly.

Tsuna shifted under the sharp gazes nervously. He could have escaped except G(the damn idiot) had grabbed him and Tsuna wouldn't forgive himself if he hurt the guy. Maybe Asari due to the fact they had been at each others throats a little while ago. Lampo was shifting nervously as Tsuna tossed him a scalding look. He was still going to have a good talk with the idiot. Lambo was living with Nana for the time being but he wanted to know what was so important that Lampo ran out on his brother. Alaude had left and Daemon stayed, most liking wanting to torture him. Chrome(he had been corrected when they entered the hotel room) was nervously holding Takuto in her arms, letting the eight year old sleep. Asari had bowed his head listening silently. Knuckle hadn't been able to stay since he had to take care of his younger siblings for the time being.

Tsuna couldn't help but blame Reborn for the situation he was in.

"Caelum, what the hell are you doing in Japan and a quiet town like Namimori?" G bluntly stated, not wanting to beat around the bush obviously. Tsuna frowned slightly at all the looks he received from the room. He had a reputation for not speaking and he had broke it with Chrome. But he didn't regret it. It was a small favor to reunite the poor girl with her admired sibling. Daemon didn't even notice it which he could tell Chrome was slightly happy for. He reached into his pocket for his phone and saw all of them jump for weapons. He rolled his eyes before pulling out the orange cellphone. G relaxed as Asari frowned, confusion in his eyes.

He flipped the phone open, realizing Fon had sent a message in English this time around. Uni had been freed from her punishment and a picture of the girl as well. Putting those aside he opened a message and wrote his quick reply of: That's private information.

He snickered inwardly at the face palm G immediately did as Asari smiled lightly.

"Why were Varia attacking then?" Daemon asked, staring the brunet down again. Tsuna pondered on it for a few more minutes before showing the phone to the illusionist: You already know.

The man's eyebrow twitched as he glowered at the young teen. "Caelum. What the hell does Vongola Nono having you do for him now?" G asked through gritted teeth.

"And what does this have to do with my adorable niece." Daemon added before Asari looked up with a smile. "I thank you for helping out my younger brother but I believe I deserve to know what he's getting into now."

Tsuna gulped nervously. He didn't know the family connections of these men and his current friends and Ieyasu but knowing Chrome was Daemons niece and the resemblance of Takeshi and Asari was enough to let him know they meant business.

"Oh, and that Ieyasu guy. You're involved with him right?" It was Lampo who asked the question that through him off. Tsuna looked up sharply at the teenager who blushed slightly. He held up the phone again for G to see: How do you know Ieyasu?

The seventeen year old pondered on it before sitting down in a chair. "How about we strike a deal, kid."

Tsuna bristled at that, they weren't that far apart in age. "We tell you why we're searching for Ieyasu and you tell us what the hell is going on with Vongola and the rings."

Tsuna weighed his options and sighed.

Please don't kill me, Reborn.

A/N: on a side note I know I have been incorrectly spelling iemitsu's name. I haven't had time to go back and edit that out. I know, I've stated this before actually, from now on it'll be spelled correctly(hopefully) read this before you tell me,again, I didn't spell it write.
