"Lady Dragone, we are here."

Letia's blues eyes slowly opened. The jet lag had gotten to her and made her fall asleep during the car ride over to the Vongola estate.

She was grateful for the few hours of rest. If she hadn't had slept she was sure that the Boss of the Vongola would have taken offense to her tired appearance, which would jeopardize the peace treaty between the two mafia families.

"Mmm..." the 23 year old let out as she stretched her body out. The black haired beauty let out a sigh and slumped against the seat. "I wish I could have gotten a bit more sleep..." she let out pouting slightly making the men in her car chuckle.

"Sorry Boss." one said.

She smiled at the men. She had told them that they didn't have to come but her men insisted.

And she didn't have the heart to order them to stay.

"It's fine." the black haired woman stated grabbing her scattered belongings. "It's not like you guys really did anything wrong." she shrugged as the door next to her was opened for her.

She stepped out out the limo and into the breezy and sunny weather of Japan.

"Wow..." she let out with a smile, her hand covering her eyes slightly due to the change of lighting. "This sure does bring back memories." the blue eyed woman stated.

"That's right." another one of her men said as he stepped out of the car. "I forgot that you were originally from Japan." he continued.

Letia nodded.

"Yes, but I was only here till the end of middle school." she explained. "Then I moved to Italy to start my training."

Her men nodded.

"Let's get you inside Boss." one began. "You have to get presentable for the meeting with the Vongola Decimo."

This made the Decimo Dragone frown. She would much rather stay in her usual clothing. Although it wasn't professional Letia liked her dark blue jeans and her black hoodie with a phoenix printed on the back over her white tang top. It was comfortable and easier to move around in.

If she was walking into a trap her black and red tennis shoes would be more help than those evil monsters usually referred to as heels.

She shivered just thinking about them.

"Do I have to?" she let out as her men lead her to the front door where a silver haired man with a bandage on his face was waiting.

Her men all sighed at her.

"Yes Lady Dragone."

"Dammit..."

XxXxX

Heels clicked on the marble floor as the dark haired girl was lead to the treaty room by the silver haired man.

Letia could already feel the aches and pinches that came from wearing heels. She felt absolutely miserable in her business suite. The skirt was restricting her legs movements and the business jacket made moving her arms awkward.

She wished that the Vongola's were as relaxed as the Dragone family.

"Alright Lady Dragone, here's your stop." the man said with a winning smile. "Vongola Decimo should be right through those doors waiting for you."

Said woman nodded and bowed slightly.

"Thank you for all your help." she said polity before turning and heading into the room.

Now when Letia thought about the Vongola she thought of the previous head. She expected the room to be filled with older gentlemen. Though she was surprised to see 3 men around her own age.

Even more was that she recognized these three men.

Especially the brunette haired boy.

"T-Tsuna?" she let out as her blue eyes looked at an older version of her childhood friend.

"Letia?" said man let out as his soft brown, now slightly sharper, stared back at her with just as much surprise.

The two mafia bosses stared at each other, taking the others appearance in. Tsuna didn't look too different. As mentioned before his eyes were a bit sharper, but his hair was still the same messy brown main that it was back in middle school. The most noticeable feature was his height.

Letia was no longer taller than him.

"Tsuna..." the Dragone let out. "Your the Vongola Decimo?" She asked in genuine shock.

He nodded slowly.

"Your the Dragone boss?" he asked, his voice now deeper.

It was her turn to nod as her blue eyes looked at the two men flanking him. She recognized then as the two boys he befriended in middle school.

Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi.

"Wow it's really you Le-chan." Yamamoto smiled softly using his old nickname for her. "You've changed so much." he pointed out.

Her eyes flitted to him and she raised an eyebrow.

"I changed?" she repeated. "Look who's talking." she chortled. Yamamoto gave her another smile

"Tch, I still see the same annoying girl from middle school." Gokudera let out crossing his arms.

Letia's eyebrow twitched and her head turned so fast that her long dark hair whipped around her.

"Do not make me hurt you Hayato." she glared. "I schooled you back then and I can do it now." she said.

It was Gokuderas turn to twitch in annoyance. She expected him to burst into one of his famous rages, but she was surprised to see that he stayed calm.

"Yeah yeah whatever." he mumbled.

Letia smiled and finally turned her gaze to the smiling Tsuna.

"Out of everyone I have to say that you've surprised me the most Tsuna." she smiled her blue eyes going soft as she remembered the small soft spoken boy from her childhood.

"Same here..." he responded.

XxXxX

The peace treaty went as smooth as it could. Letia was happy to see that there where a lot of her old friends here at the Vongola base. And they were happy to see her, so happy that she was invited to stay for a week.

And she didn't refuse.

She never realized how much she missed the old days till she saw everyone in the flesh. She knew this week would be full of laughs and fun with her friends.

But the best part was that was that she would be able to talk to Tsuna.

Her old crush.

And looking at him now, she realized that the feelings hadn't disappeared like she had though.

No.

They simply buried themselves.

"That's amazing Tsuna." Letia let out. "So the whole time I was training in middle school for my position as Dragone Decimo, you were training to be the Vongola Decimo." she sat in her chair across from him.

"And...I didn't even notice." she frowned. "Some friend I was then..."

The Vongola boss shook his head.

"No, not at all." he began. "You were exactly what I wanted back then, someone normal and stable." he explained. "Things were so crazy back then I was happy with the simple days I spent with you." he let out a chuckle. "Besides it's not like I noticed you either, and looking back Reborn did give me a lot of obvious hints..."

He shook his head.

"But enough about that, how are you?" Tsuna asked. "Did you finally meet that prince charming you were always dreaming about?" he asked with a smile.

The Dragone laughed loudly.

"No." she began. "Not yet." she grinned gripping the rim of her tea cup. "What about you? Did you ever marry Kyoko?"

The dreaded question.

Tsuna smiled softly, but surprised her by shaking his head.

"No." he answered. "I thought it would have worked, but with all the dangers around me I couldn't bring myself to put herself through that."

Letia frowned.

Now she felt bad.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered. "I...I know you liked her a lot..."

Tsuna stared at her with semi sharp brown eyes. His mouth in a frown, but quickly turning into a smile.

"It's fine." he shrugged. "It just made me realize that I didn't like her as much as I thought I did." he smiled. "Besides she's happier where she's at." he nodded looking at his folded hands.

The woman stared at him. He looked so much more stronger than back then...

"Well you have to have someone you fancy." the man smiled looking at. She stared at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Well I guess there's someone I fancy, not that I'm going to tell you." she let out wit a sly smirk. Tsuna smiled and shook his head.

She hadn't changed a bit.

"Alright, Alright." he said. "Let's change the subject and just talk."

Letia smiled and nodded.

And so they did.

XxXxX

The days flew by and soon it was Letia's last night at the Vongola mansion.

She let out a sigh as she stood on the balcony of her room.

"Time flies when your having fun, huh?" Came the deep voice of Tsuna.

She turned and smiled at the man on the balcony next to hers. It had become a sort of meeting place for them over the past few days. Since in the morning's they were both busy. Tsuna with his Boss duties and Letia with her catching up.

But the nights they shared like this, with only a concrete rail and a large gap keeping them from touching.

"You can say that again." she smiled softly. "I'm going to miss being with everyone..." the Dragone let out and her lips turned into a frown.

"You don't have to go..." Tsuna let out.

He didn't mean to, and he knew what the answer would be.

But he couldn't help but say it...

She chuckled, as he predicted.

"You know I can't." she said, her blue eyes staring out into the patio. "We may be allies now, but I still have my duties back in Italy."

But she would rather have stayed.

"I know." he said with a sigh. "I guess I just liked the feel of having you around." he smiled at her, the same smile he would give her as a child. "It reminded me of the old days."

Letia turned to face him.

This would be the last time she saw Tsuna.

She would be leaving early in the morning and he would be in a meeting at the same time.

Her heart beat quickened and she suddenly couldn't think straight.

"Tsuna..." the woman let out with her bangs shadowing her eyes.

The brunette looked at her with a frown.

"Seven days ago you asked me if I fancied anyone..." she continued walking towards him. "I've decided to tell you who it is."

She reached the edge of her balcony and she pushed herself up onto the railing. Brown orbs widened in surprise and Tsuna ran forward.

"Letia!" he shouted.

She didn't speak a word.

She didn't need too.

Her sneaker covered shoes pushed her off the railing and sent her flying towards the suite clad Vongola boss.

Said man stopped and stretched out his arms to catch the woman.

She fell in his arms, but the force was too great and they ended up falling over onto the concrete.

"Letia, what do you-"

The Dragone wasted no time.

She brought her lips down to meet in a gentle yet passionate kiss that expressed her feeling exactly as she wanted to.

Tsuna was surprised but never the less closed his eyes and embraced the woman.

It's what he had wanted for so long, he realized.

He just hadn't realize it.

She pulled away and he leaned his forehead against hers.

"Let's meet again soon, Tsuna." her melodic voice whispered her hand moving to his larger one.

He smiled closing his eyes and intertwining their fingers.

"Definitely."
