Domo!
Im so sorry Dudes for not updating any chapters for November.
I had a problem with my wifi connection, so I didnt have any internet.
So I decided to post 2 new chapters! Enjoy!
Till next chapter, Be Awsum Stay Awsum!
Shinichi sits back down in his seat, mindful of Kaito's head on the arm rest. Kaito just grins, happy to be able to show off his skills to their new Family. The Guardians all nod at Tsuna, eager to have a chance to play. "Right then. Kaito, how do you want to do this?"
Kaito kicks his legs against the chair, thinking. Finally coming to an answer, he lowers his top hat, creating shadows over his eyes. The flame users are reminded of Reborn before one of his stunts, and they all stiffen slightly.
It's getting a little hot in here. Maybe it's from all of the shouting that we've done. No one looks hot though. Observes Shinichi, feeling a little hot himself.
"Well, since you are saying that My Shin-chan and the taskforce can't do their job, then why don't you all have a go? Like Gokudera said, we'll put on a fake heist that only we know about. And you can all try to capture me. Good luck though. KID isn't easy to capture." He smiles another KID smile, feeling KID inside him rubbing his hands with anticipation.
"And are there any rules to this chase?" inquires Tsuna, wanting the game to be fair.
"Nope. None at all. I want you to come at me with your all. Otherwise you'll all have excuses if you lose. You can use any means necessary." Kaito replies, light glinting off of his monocle.
"Are you sure? Because we have some unusual... abilities, that might be considered an unfair advantage." Inquiries Tsuna, well aware of how far his guardians might take this if they become too involved.
"Oh, I'm sure. It's like Mukuro said: This will be a good time for us to see and analyse just who we've allied ourselves with." Kaito finally moves and sits upright in his chair, this time leaning forward and placing his head on linked arms on the table. "and you in turn Juudaime get to see the skills of the newly recruited Family members. There is a difference in hearing and seeing after all. Surely a mafia boss can't rely just on what others have said. Shinichi hasn't been in the news for over three years now, and like Lambo said, very few people see the inside of one of my heists. For all you know, our skills are just media hype."
"It's true Tsuna. I would like to see the full range of abilities that you all have. I know that you aren't what's considered normal. The only strange phenomenon in our lives was one magic jewel. Yet from your story, your lives are filled with magic flames, rings with strange powers, and cursed babies that shoot bullets. What you've told us will be much more believable once we've seen it for real." Shinichi speculates. He stretches out his feet under the table, and moves in his seat. I'm feeling a little stiff. Well we have been sitting down for quite a long time.
The flame users look from one to another, a predator smile lighting all of their faces. Their rings glint in the light, reflecting the flames within. Shinichi shivers. I've never seen them look so...evil before. Like a pack of wolves, even Tsuna. I just hope that we can survive these flames of theirs. As far as I know they haven't killed anyone with them...yet.
"Why don't we hold it later on today? Kaitou KID always does his heists at night, so it'll be the same as the police" recommends Lambo, knowing the most (next to Gokudera) about KID heists. Most of the others only see it as another part of the challenge, and agree. "Meanwhile, can we get some food; Lambo-sama hasn't eaten lunch yet."
Everyone looks at Lambo, seeing that he has actually made a good point for once. Some even look down at their stomachs, realising that they too are hungry.
"Yeah some food sound good, we didn't have time for lunch before we came, some...issues came up." Adds in Shinichi, thinking back to Kaito's reaction when they started to make lunch, and then there was the time for transforming, so all in all, no time for a snack.
"Sure." Agrees Tsuna. "Why don't we take you for a tour of the Vongola Underground, and we'll finish off at the food hall. I'm afraid that most of the others are away at the moment, but I will introduce them when they return home." He promises as he stands up. The others follow suit, and walk out of the door. Gokudera makes sure to hold the door open for his Juudaime, and closes it behind Shinichi and Kaito.
"At the moment, we are on a floor of offices. It's nearly at the bottom, with mainly training rooms underneath. This way, it's far enough underground to avoid attacks, and it's hard to infiltrate to this level. It was created like this to protect any important documents that I might have down here. The training rooms are 2 floors below us in case any accidents happen. It wouldn't do for a training session to wreck the floor or ceiling and destroy the level above or below. The floor in-between is generally storage space- nothing really important, again in case of training accidents." Explains Gokudera, hair suddenly tied back and glasses on.
"That sounds very well planned out. You are right, it would be hard for someone with less skill than I to infiltrate your base to this level. I could do it though, your security doesn't seem very tight. All I'd have to do is disguise myself to look like one of you and I'd be in." taunts Kaito, explaining the rant KID has just given him internally.
"Che, that's what you think." Whispers Gokudera under his breath.
Tsuna just shakes his head, and replies to Kaito. "You are right, our security is relaxed here. But there is nothing of importance here in the Japan base. Like you saw earlier, the most important thing I deal with here are accounts. All of the documents that could be used for blackmail, threats, and things like that are all in Italy. They have much better security there. We do however, have lots of security cameras. There isn't a part of the base that you can't see. Obviously in private areas like bedrooms and bathrooms there aren't any cameras, but in any public area, there are always camera's recording 24/7. There are odd exceptions."
"So what about the levels above us then?" inquires Shinichi, glad to be walking about. He wasn't too keen on the idea of being so far underground, but it was something he could poke up with. He was sure that there were safety measures against earthquakes and collapses.
"Oh, umm. Directly above us is the kitchen and dining room, sleeping and living quarters for staff and visiting Family members. Above that are laboratories and garages belonging to out resident mechanics, Spanner and Shoichi. They are off on a trip looking at some new mafia technology at the moment, but they'll be back later. Um, above that is... um, I know that there are maybe one or two more floors, but I think that they hold supplies again, Oh, and housekeeping. The floor directly below the house is housekeeping." Describes Tsuna, smacking a hand onto his palm as he remembers.
Ba-bump
Oh, shit. Not now. I thought I was just hot because the room was stuffy, but it must have been a sign of this.
Shinichi leans against the wall taking a deep breath. Collecting himself Shinichi continues to walk on with the others, willing the transformation to stay at bay for a little while longer.
Turning, Tsuna looks back at Shinichi, his intuition sensing something is wrong. "Are you okay Shinichi? You're looking a little flushed"
"Yeah, I'm just a little hot, that's all. It was a little stuffy in the meeting room" Shinichi plasters a fake smile on his face, willing himself to stand straight and look 'alright'.
"Hmm, that's true. When we have long meetings in there it gets terrible, and being underground we can't open the windows either" shrugs Yamamoto, smiling brightly as usual.
BA-bump.
Ouch. Shinichi breathe, come on take a deep breath... calm down, you've transformed before... I can't hold on much longer... I need somewhere to change. "Ts-Tsuna, is there a room without the cameras recording on this level?" inquires Shinichi, trying to hide the pain.
Tsuna gives Shinichi a sharp look, noticing the sweat on the back of his neck and forehead, and the slightly laboured breathing Shinichi has. Shinichi's also getting slightly paler too. Wondering if Shinichi is sick, but not why a room without cameras, Tsuna answers "urm, yeah, my office. Shinichi?"
But before Tsuna can even ask his question, Shinichi has run off, arm on the wall supporting his fast turn around the corner.
"Shit! Not here, not now. Shinichi calm down!" A second later, Kaito has run off too, tearing around the corner, cape following behind him.
