THE NEXT DAY
"Conan! Good morning" suddenly, unexpectedly and certainly unwantedly, Conan hides his head under the pillows, hoping to block out that voice that is far too cheery for any normal person this time of day.
"Meeh" Conan grumbles, hoping for the love of the truth that Kaito will leave.
But no such luck. Kaito has it all. "Wake up sleepy head" the voice is closer than before. Conan bounces in the air as Kaito jumps onto the bed, the covers now a crumpled mess.
"Go away Kaito." Growls Conan, certainly not in the mood for Kaito after the rude awakening.
"Oh, but Conan." Starts Kait.
"Go away. Either stay away or bring me some coffee. The choice is yours." Shouts Conan finally sitting up to glare at the magician.
"Coffee?" asks Kaito, tilting his head cutely.
"Yes, coffee. You know, that hot drink filled with caffeine, which most normal people drink." Snarls Conan
"But why would you want coffee this early in the morning?" questions Kaito- a hot chocolate lover all the way.
Conan sighs "It wakes me up and kick starts my brain. For a while now I've always had a cup of coffee when I wake up. I've been told that I'm not very sociable until I've had it. So go away until I've had my damn coffee!" Conan lies back down and chucks the covers over himself, ignoring Kaito completely.
"Ohh, I see. I'll go get it for you Conan." Kaito chirps, rushing out of the room./ppIn the hallway Kaito shouts "Conan needs COFFEE!"
Conan opens his eyes wide, not believing what Kaito has just done. He flings the covers off and rushes out of the door, seeing Kaito standing in the hallway. "Kaito you fucking bastard, what in hell are you doing?"
"You said you needed coffee, so I'm getting it for you. I don't know where the kitchen is, and with all of the maids and butlers here, surely one will hear me." He deduces. Raising his voice he shouts again "Conan needs a cup of coffee!"
"Kaito shut up right now or I'll shoot you." Conan threatens. Does Kaito not get embarrassed, or self-conscious? Wait a minute, this is Kaito, who is KID, of course he doesn't get embarrassed. Sheese, what will I do with him. It is kind of sweet though.
"But you need your coffee. If you're not going to be able to work without coffee, then I'm getting it for you." Declares Kaito. He opens his mouth and takes in another deep breath, about to shout out again.
Conan seeing this, brings his wristwatch up and aims at Kaito's neck. "Shout again, and you'll be sleeping. And I'll leave you here in the middle of the corridor." Conan always slept with his watch on. Being his main form of protection, he always kept it on. With Vermouth knowing who and where he was, he wasn't taking any more chances.
Seeing this, Kaito becomes even more determined. Wow, he really does need that coffee. Who ever said he was unsociable without coffee was right. I need to get it for him. He's no fun like this. Threatening me with that watch, well two can play that game. Kaito reaches behind him and takes his card gun. He too points his weapon at Conan."I am getting you that coffee whether you like it or not." Says Kaito. A staring contest begins between the two.
Finally a maid walks around the corner, hearing the ruckus from down the other corridor. As she walks around the corner, the tense atmosphere hits her like a wave. In front of her all she can see is two males, one a child and one an adult, pointing weapons at each other. But this maid is a Vongola maid. More than that she is a maid to the 10th Generation. Nothing is going to faze her. If she can deal with dynamites, illusions, tonfas and electric sparks along with the normal mafia fare, then a gun and a wrist watch aren't going to scare her off.
"Is there something I can help you with sirs?" asks the maid politely.
Not taking his eyes off Conan, Kaito addresses the maid. "Yes, I would like one cup of coffee for Conan here, and one hot chocolate, with cream and marshmallows for myself." Not looking away either Conan adds "Strong black coffee please, no milk or sugar"
The maid bows and leaves to fulfil the task given to flips the gun in the air, catching it and puts it back in its correct place. Conan too lowers his arm, and closes the target lid of the watch."I suppose that we had better get dressed then. I'm getting hungry" suggests Conan, walking back into his room. Seeing Kaito take a step forwards he adds "I can get dressed myself thanks." And slams the door in Kaito's as he finishes getting dressed, there is a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Conan finds the maid from earlier."Young master Tsuna requests your presence at breakfast" she informs him. "your drink will be served to you there." After a nod from Conan she walks to Kaito's door and repeats the process. Kaito comes out of the room in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt- no cape, top hat nor monocle in sight."Let's go. Lead the way, my lady" he bows to the maid and offers her a rose. The maid blushes, places the rose in a pocket, showing it off, and leads the pair to where the others are. The maid opens the door, and bows them into the room.
Sitting at the end of the table Tsuna greets the two. "Good morning Conan, Kaito. Come and have a seat.
"Che, we were waiting long enough" remarks Gokudera. Tsuna kicks him under the table and gives him a stern look.
"Hmm, so you're Conan then." Says Lambo. Everyone looks at Lambo, wondering what's going on. "Well I was asleep in the car, and it was dark out so I didn't get a good look, alright." He defends himself. He leans forwards in his chair, taking a good look at Conan.
"Lambo don't be rude" scolds I-pin, sitting next to him.
"Hmm. Do you want to be Lambo-sama's subordinate?" he asks seriously. The guardians practically fall off their chairs. They hadn't heard that for a long time. Of all the things Lambo could have said… they thought he had grown up over the past 5 years. Maybe some things never change.
Conan, instead of looking shocked or offended, looks bored instead. He knows how to deal with children. The Detective Boys' have given him plenty of practice. The best thing to do is to just go with what they are saying. "And why would I want to be your subordinate?" he asks.
"Che, why would anyone want to be that Ahoshi's follower? All his head is filled with is sweets, not the brains to be worth following." remarks Gokudera.
"haha, Lambo can keep a lot of things in his hair can't he." Laughs Yamamoto.
"Sweets, um, let's see. What's inside my head? A toffee ball, some candy, and… hmm, oh some chocolate." As he names them, confectionary appears in his hand, and Lambo places it on the table. Soon quite a pile is on the table. "Of course, it's not only sweets that are inside my head. There is also a big dream."
The others turn towards Lambo, being the first they have heard of this dream. Lambo himself clambers onto the table, looking down on all of the others, making himself feel important.A hand raised to the ceiling, he elaborates, "Conquer the world and obliterate Reborn!" Jaws around the table drop. That was such a Lambo dream, and everyone knew that he wanted to kill Reborn, it was why he ended up with them in the first place. To emphasise his point, Lambo pulls a grenade out of his hair as he shouts 'Die Reborn!'.
Gokudera jumps onto the table too, and takes the bomb out of the cow's hand. "Oy Yakyuu-baka!" he shouts, turning towards the baseball player. "a fast ball out the window" he shouts, chucking the grenade at him. Yamamoto's eyes narrow, and he catches the ball. His arm goes back, and the ball speeds out the open window, too fast to track properly. A moment later, an explosion can be heard.
One maid pops her head out of a window, sees the mess, and shouts. "Don't worry, I'll call the Gardner." Not a reprimand, not a telling off, just simple acceptance.
This must be a common occurrence here then. The maid earlier didn't seem fazed by our use of weapons either. Well this is a mafia Family after all. Thinks KID.
"When I take over the world, I can eat as much soft ice cream as I want." Lambo announces
"Oh, a very big dream. World domination so he can eat ice cream, how scary" whispers Conan snidely.
"I-Pin will cry since she won't be able to."
"Lambo, stupid." She cries, trying to pull him down from the table top.
"Gokudera will be ignored, by my decree." He pulls a face at Gokudera.
"Like it's possible" comments Gokudera, under his breath. Tsuna smiles at Gokudera, attempting to cheer him up. "No, Gokudera, It's not possible to ignore you." Turning his head to the side Tsuna mumbles "Believe me, it's not. You are too loud and upfront to be ignored."
"Shoo, Shoo, you old Hag. Go over there. Lambo-sama is talking, you can't interrupt" Lambo makes dismissing gestures to someone behind Conan and Kaito.
Conan looks over his shoulder to see someone he recognises. Kurokawa Hana, if I remember correctly. Kyoko's best friend. She was with the other girls when we went for lunch yesterday. Recalls Conan.
"This is why I hate kids." Hana looks at Lambo with disgust, before lowering her gaze to Conan. Her scowl gets wider, and she backs up to the wall. Sliding against the wall, she reaches the end of the table where Tsuna and the others are, and pours herself a glass of orange juice. Ryohei offers her a piece of toast, which she accepts, before going to stand in between him and Yamamoto.
Lambo clears his throat loudly, drawing attention back to him. "Right now, as I see things, it is soon to be my world. Even Reborn will be knocked out"
"Che, sure your world. Aren't you forgetting that every attempt so far has failed, usually the moment you announce that you have arrived." Explains Gokudera.
"Yeah, it's usually like: Lambo-sama has arrived, Reborn I'm going to kill you. And then Reborn kicks you out of the window. But keep dreaming kid," describes Yamamoto.
"That was when I was younger. I've learnt my lesson as I've grown up. However, Boss' orders were to defeat Reborn, and that it what I shall do. Once I've defeated him, the strongest Arcobaleno, then no one can stop me, and the world shall belong to me. The Bovino Family is number one in the world, and I shall be too." He thumps his fist against his heart, showing devotion to his Family.
"Kufufufu, I don't know what ratings you've been reading little Lambo, but the Bovino Family is a very weak one- Fuuta confirmed it. Their only strong point is in their scientific weapons. Most of which malfunction often" Chides Mukuro, resting his head on his hand.
"He's certainly got the spoilt brat bit down fine" says Conan to KID.
Lambo looks over at him sharply,"What was that?" he questions.
"Nothing. So what will you do when you are King of the world?" covers Conan.
Lambo seems pleased with this answer, straightens up and strides up and down the table."I-pin will live with me" he points to her, before turning and walking down to the other end of the table.
"Lambo, what are you doing" she scolds. It's rude to walk on the table after all.
"I'll make Gokudera do what I say"With that, Yamamoto and Ryohei burst out into raucous laughter, Ryohei pounding his fist of the table. Gokudera slams his palms on the table as he stands up. "Like you can, you brat" he shouts defiantly.
"Shoo, shoo Hag. I don't care, you can just leave. I don't want you in my world anyway." Hana had slowly began to walk towards the door, but was caught in the act."Shoo, shoo, go over there" she points to the other end of the table, which happens to be the end farthest from her escape route- the ignores her, but walks to stand infront of Conan anyway. "So why should you be my subordinate? Well, right now as I see it, it's soon to be my world; even Reborn will be knocked out."
"Yes, yes, you've already said that Lambo. Is there anything else?" asks Kaito, joining in the conversation.
"But, there will be a lot of food. If you come with me then you'll have all the food and candy that you want. Do you want a toffee ball, toffee ball?" he asks waving one infront of Conan's face. Conan looks at the sweet, and decides that no, he doesn't want that sweet. Just as he's about to decline, Lambo continues. "Well, I won't give it to you anyway. These are Lambo-sama's private supply. But just you wait, Conan. Lambo-sama will defeat Reborn soon, I've been training really hard. And once I do, I'll become the Bovino Family's Boss. And then you will want to be my follower for sure. Because of all of this training that I've done, I'll conquer the world, kill Reborn in an instant, and there will be no one who can match me anymore. I-Pin…" he turns to her.
I-Pin had had enough of Lambo's bragging. Taking out a Gyouza bun she takes a bite and shouts "Gyouza-ken!" she thrusts her fist in Lambo's direction. He goes flying over Conan and Kaito's heads and slams into the wall.
Shakily, Lambo stands up and walks towards Gokudera."Gokudera…"Gokudera too had had enough. His Lambo allowance had already been used up for the day, and he wanted nothing more than to harm the cow and make him shut up."Rocket Bombs!" he takes a few dynamites out of his belt, lights them with his cigarette and chucks them at Lambo. As usual, Gokudera has targeted perfectly, and Lambo goes flying out of the window.
"Shoo~, shoo~ … Hag…" whimpers Lambo. Hana had taken this moment to walk towards the door, which was right next to the window Lambo had just flown out of."Wait, where did that cow assassin go?" Hana asks, not realising that he was chucked out of the window. She assumed that Gokudera's dynamites only produced smoke, and that he had disappeared, like in a magic show. She leaves the room.
A hand appears on the windowsill, followed by a mass of black hair and a pair of horns."Lambo, are you alright?" asks I-Pin, rising out of her seat."Riiiiight now, as I see it, it's sooon to be my world. Even Reborn will be knocked ouuuutttt~." Lambo faints and falls backwards onto the soft grass of the garden.
"Damn that Ahoshi. He's always getting in the way. He can be so annoying at times." Gokudera walks over to the window and picks the unconscious Lambo up. "He still wants to defeat Reborn though? I though what he said when introducing himself yesterday was just to make himself look big infront of Conan and Kaito. Even after 5 years of failures. sigh I've got to commend that Ahoshi, he doesn't give up." Gokudera looks fondly down at Lambo, and walks out of the room with him.
"Well, I think that sums Lambo up pretty well. He hasn't really changed all that much since he was 5. He is a little bit braver though. And a lot calmer. But being younger than all of us, we still treat him like a little brother, which I suppose adds to the spoilt brat image. But he's our cow, and we love him to pieces." Says Tsuna, looking fondly towards the door. "Actually, with Lambo mentioning Reborn, I need to talk to him." Says Tsuna. "Reborn, I know that you are here, can you come out please." Asks Tsuna.
"What the kid is here?" asks Yamamoto looking around.
"Well, yeah, he has been here the whole time" says Kaito, pointing a thumb over his shoulder.
"It's like Tsuna said, you guys really can't see through Reborn's disguises can you?" says Conan amused. The others in the room shake their heads, looking around themselves, trying to find him.
"Che, what's going on here? You all look like idiots who have lost the Sun." States Gokudera, re-entering the room.
"We are EXTREMELY looking for Reborn, Tako-headdo" shouts Ryohei.
"Reborn? I haven't seen him since last night, stupid Shibafu." Explains Gokudera.
"But guys, he's been here the whole time. He's dressed as that lampshade behind me." Clarifies Conan. Kaito points to the particular lampshade, nodding his head.
"Hmph, you guys are good." Says Reborn, removing his disguise and walking over to Tsuna. "So dame-Tsuna, what do you want?"
"Well, I want to do what we were discussing last night. Can you find Verde for me?" requests Tsuna.
"But you don't know if he wants it yet, Tsuna" cautions Reborn, looking over to Conan.
"Okay, then I'll ask, but I'm sure he does." Tsuna turns toward the young detective, "Shinichi." Tsuna stares straight at Conan, making strong eye contact.
"Y-yes Tsuna-san." Replies Conan not liking the intense look he's getting
"Would you like to be able to return to your real body?" asks Tsuna.
