Giotto went back to his office to get more paperwork done but couldn't because the young men that were resting in his hideout were the only things distracting him from doing it. He could feel a connection to the 19-year-old named Tsuna. They had introduced each other moments after they got into the mansion. G and Gokudera got into a petty argument about something pointless. Asari and Yamamoto hit off pretty well. They both were easy going and calm and seemed to take interests in the things in Japan, though you could tell Yamamoto had to hold things back. Lambo and Lampo ignored each other due to Lampo's dislike of kids and Lambo's dislike of ghosts, though Tsuna constantly told him that they weren't ghosts, but the child wouldn't listen and stayed close to his brother. He promptly fell asleep on Tsuna as soon as they were showed a room to stay in for the time being.
But Tsuna himself. There was something that reminded him of himself and at the same time a different person.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Come in." He answered. The door opened to a disgruntled and annoyed Storm Guardian. He raised an eyebrow to which G just shook his head in a "you don't want to know" gesture.
"So. How are the young ones fairing so far? You haven't hurt them, have you?" he asked in a slight warning. G just huffed and settled a glare upon his childhood friend. Giotto just looked at him, waiting for an answer.
"... I didn't hurt them. But that Gokudera guy just pisses me off. I just want to wring his neck and duck his head in a tub full of water until he's barely alive. But other than that, they've seemed to settled in nicely. The odd thing about it is that they practically know where everything is. It's a bit freaky and unnerving. Oh, and that Tsuna kid is going out to make sure the rest of his friends shows up." he informed the blonde.
"Is he with someone?"
"Yea. Asari has taken a liking to him and went with him while Knuckle made sure the other three stayed in their room." he informed him.
BOOM!
"SAWADA! WHERE ARE YOU TO THE EXTREME!" a loud voice bellowed. Footsteps rushed to the scene and Giotto and his Guardians rushed behind the two teens (Lambo was lagging behind everyone with Lampo, just at a safe distance). They came to a stop at the front door just to see it crumpled to the ground and a figure standing behind the reinforced steel door with his fist held in the air and - is that fire behind him and in his eyes? - in a boxer pose. When he saw the others in front of him, he grinned.
"There you are! I've been looking all over for you and Sawada TO THE EXTREME!" he yelled.
"Oi, shibou-atama! Why in the hell did you bust down the door, baka!" Gokudera yelled at the other silver head.
"Don't call me an idiot, tako-brain!" he fired back.
"Urusei! And how did you get here?" he calmed down a bit because of his Tenth's orders to not yell too much and think rationally just in case one of the other Guardians show up.
"Huh? Master Pao Pao sent me, Hibari, Mukuro, and Chrome to find you guys and Sawada, but we all got blasted with the 10-Year-Bazooka and sent here. I got split up from the other three and thought that you guys may have been here to the EXTREME!" he explained. That's when he finally noticed Giotto, G, Lampo, and Knuckle (Alaude had snuck off to keep a close watch on the weakling from a safe distance).
"This is bad." Yamamoto thought out loud. Giotto looked at him.
"What is it, Yamamoto-san?" he asked. Gokudera cut in at that point.
"Knowing the two of the three, they are probably already trying to-"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"-kill each other... Ah, shit."
(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)
Asari and Tsuna checked the Vongola grounds in case his friends appeared. The man yawned and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He's been staying up in his office back in the Present, so he had about 4 hours of sleep and if the work wasn't too much, he'd sneak in another hour or two.
"Are you tired? We could go back if you'd like." Ugetsu offered. Tsuna just shook his head with a small smile.
"No. It's alright. I have to make sure my friends get here safely." he told him. Asari nodded and continued to scout. When he thought he saw something moving further into the forest, he stopped and tried to see within the foliage.
"Is there somethi-" Tsuna started, but explosions in the direction the Rain Guardian was facing.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The two glanced at each other before speeding off. Another explosion sounded and Tsuna's HI (Hyper Intuition) was screaming at him to hurry, and hurry he did. When he got to the clearing, he was shocked by the damage done. But when he saw the reason for the destruction, killing intent rolled off him in waves.
There, in the middle of the field, is two of his most powerful Guardians. Hibari was poised for another attack and Mukuro was guarded with his smug smirk set in place. Ugestu came up behind him and was astound to see all the damage done to his friend's forest. When he felt a bone-chilling evil aura, he backed away seeing as the once sweet, caring male was now gone. He looked at the cause for the teen's change in demeanor, he was shocked.
The man that looked like Alaude was heading towards the man that looked strongly like Deamon, ready to attack, but stopped midway when they finally noticed the killer intent heading their way. They turned to Tsuna with slightly wide eyes and hurriedly parted from each other. The 19-year-old's glaring brown eyes flashed orange as he settled his gaze upon the two.
"What are you two doing." he demanded from them with venom seeping from his voice. Mukuro flinched a bit and sweat dropped. Kyouya looked away from him and put away his tonfas.
"Kufufufu. Hello, Tsunayoshi." Rokudou played it off.
"Don't "Hello, Tsunayoshi" me. Answer my question - get back over here Hibari - or I'll give you a hour of hell." he threatened. And everyone knows when he threatens someone, he usually carries them out. It was something he got from his tutor.
Once, when they were in the Vongola mansion, Mukuro and Kyouya had fought in the hallways while Tsuna was doing paperwork. They had almost destroyed one-sixth of the building, and when Tsuna saw this, he was getting ready to murder someone. Everyone stayed away from him as he approached the two who thought they were just going to get a lecture. Boy were they wrong. He literally dragged the two - anyone who saw Hibari's and Rokudou's surprised faces almost laughed, but when the boss' angry eyes settled upon them, they quickly looked somewhere else and shrunk under his gaze. The two were put into a small room, weapons confiscated, and sat tied next to each other. Tsuna asked some of his subordinates if they had daughters ranging from 4 to 10 years old and had about 16 of them do whatever they wanted to do to them, though he spared them from having make-up all over their faces. But their hair, ears, and body didn't go un-girly-fied. Tsuna made sure that their hands and feet were tightly bound, though not painfully, and even had some of the girls take pictures with them and took some of them for himself. Now everyone knew not to get him mad enough to threaten them.
Kyouya and Mukuro shivered at the memory.
Hibari set his cool blue-gray eyes upon the omnivore and frowned, "Where are we Sawada." he ignored the question that was first shot toward him with his own. Tsuna's eyebrow twitched, but he took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
"... You can come out now, Alaude-san." he blurted.
The blonde was honestly surprised that the small, but still growing brunette had noticed that he was there. He masked it and stepped out from the darkness of the trees. He caught the look the young man that looked like him gave him, but ignored it.
Ugetsu was also shocked at the alertness the teen showed.
"Bossu." a shy voice called out. Everyone looked toward the direction of the voice. A young woman with violet hair walked up to Tsuna and blushed lightly before placing a kiss to his cheek. Mukuro's eyebrow twitched, Kyouya yawned and turned away, Asari blushed a bit, and Alaude just looked on in boredom. Tsuna just smiled warmly and chuckled, having grown used to the random greetings.
"Hello, Chrome," he turned to his other two Guardians, "And as for your question, you can pretty much tell just by seeing Asari-san and Alaude-san. Now, when we get to where we'll be staying, I want the two of you to apologize to the owner of this forest." his voice hardened with finality.
Rokudou and Hibari both looked away from him.
"Am I understood?" he answered sickening-ly sweet to which Hibari "hn"-ed and Mukuro sighed.
"JYUUDAIME!" a familiar voice shouted.
Everyone saw the I Generation and the X Generation running in their direction. Hayato, Takeshi, Ryohei, Lambo, Lampo, Knuckle, G, and Giotto stopped once they saw all the destruction that was made.
Giotto's surprise was slowly ebbing away into anger. He looked toward the six that most likely caused the damage.
"Who did this." his voice was seething. G tried to place his hand on his friend's shoulder, but got a glare in return. Chrome hid behind her boss, scared of the angry blonde man.
"Calm down, Giotto-san. I know who indirectly destroyed this part of your forest. Now, I want you two to apologize to him." Tsuna said. Rokudou just grumbled under his breath while Hibari just "che"-ed. Tsuna put his hands on their shoulders and smiled sweetly.
"I couldn't hear you. What did you say?"
"... Gomen..." they both said loud enough for the others to hear. Alaude smirked in amusement, but dropped it when the brunette turned his gaze to him. There was something in that look that caused a sliver of fear to arise.
Giotto just sighed tiredly and gestured for everyone to follow him back to the mansion. Giotto was in the lead with G and Asari, Hayato was arguing with Ryohei and Knuckle, Lambo and Lampo was near Takeshi with bored and tired faces, Mukuro and Chrome was walking silently together, Tsuna walked behind them to make sure they-Kyouya and Mukuro- don't end up fighting again (he also had the last 5 Hibird babies (Arashi, Taiyo, Ame, Misuto, and Kumo) resting on his shoulders and head), and Kyouya was at the back of the group a few yards because of his dislike for crowds (Hibird resting on top of his head).
Once everyone was in, they went to the conference room to finally figure out who their guests really are. As they all sat, except for Kyouya, Giotto began.
"Now that the rest of your friends are here, tell us who you really are." he demanded. Tsunayoshi sighed to calm his nerves. He made eye contact with his great-great-great-great grandfather.
"We are the Tenth Generation of the Vongola. And I am Decimo, or Jyuudaime in Japanese. My friends are my Guardians." the brunette stated. Everything went quiet. The First Generation had had surprised faces, though Alaude suppressed it with narrowed eyes.
"YOU EXPECT US TO BELIEVE THAT!" G snapped in Italian.
"I also find that hard to believe." Knuckle said. Ugetsu nodded.
"THE JYUUDAIME IS TELLING THE TRUTH! HE WOULD NEVER LIE LIKE THAT, BASTARD!" Gokudera exploded back in Italian.
"You can speak Italian?" Ugetsu questioned.
"Yes. We can speak Italian. We had to if we wanted to know what our allies and enemies were saying. We can keep speaking this way if you want." Tsuna suggested. Giotto nodded.
"Now back to the topic at hand-"
"How can we be sure that you're not lying about being the Tenth Generation Boss?" G interrupted. Hayato was about to shout, but Tsuna placed a hand on his shoulder and shook his head. Gokudera grumbled and sat down. Tsuna reached out his hand to show the other generation his Vongola Ring.
"This isn't the Vongola Ring." Alaude stated. Tsuna frowned.
"The original Vongola Ring was destroyed in our time. But we had got an upgrade." he told them. He thought about telling them the whole dispute between the Vongola and Shimon, but he knows it's best to keep that a secret least he somehow alter the future.
"They were... destroyed...? But how?" Primo asked hesitantly. Everyone had their eyes on Tsuna. The brown-eyed young man sighed wearily.
"... It was because of a manipulation caused to the Shimon Faimily." he settled for that answer. He knew it must've almost killed the blonde boss to hear of such news. The rest of them looked at their boss sympathetically. But of course, Alaude was just lost in his own thoughts.
"W-what happened?" Giotto asked.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot tell you in fear that it will alter our future. I-I would gladly like to tell you, but it will be bad for us."
"You keep saying how you're from the future and the future boss, show us more proof that it is true." Knuckle said. Tsuna nodded and closed his eyes to concentrate. An orange flame flickered on his forehead before the Dying Will Flame ignited. He opened his eyes which were now a beautiful fiery orange. The I Generation was surprised as well as shocked to see the brunette with the same exact Hyper Dying Will as the Primo. Tsuna leveled them with a cool look.
"Now do you believe me?" Tsuna's deep and calm voice asked.
"Yes, but why-" Asari was cut off.
"Do I have the same appearance as Primo when in Hyper Dying Will Mode? It is because you, Giotto-san, is my ancestor." Tsuna explained and extinguished his flame, slightly winded.
Giotto sighed, "I believe you. I sense no lies in your words. But if you really are from the future, why are you all stuck here?"
"...Jyuudaime? Don't you think this is a bit familiar to you?" Hayato grabbed his chin in a thoughtful expression.
"Haha. It kinda reminds me of the time we got sent to the future." Takeshi smiled. Tsuna sweat dropped at that.
"That would explain why we haven't went back home yet. Maybe there's something here that doesn't belong." he thought out loud.
"'Something that doesn't belong'? What do you mean?" Primo asked.
"Back when we were in Middle School, we were sent 10 years into the future to defeat someone that was trying to take over the universe. We won and returned home, but now it seems that there's something in this era that may change the whole Mafia World. So, we'll have to stay here and find out who's trying to destroy The Vongola." Tsuna explained. Everything was quiet for a while before the baby Hibird, with a red streak in its yellow feathers, named Arashi, flew through the window and landed in front of Tsuna. A video device was hooked to Arashi's left leg flashed and a hologram of a certain Hitman Home Tutor appeared.
"Reborn?" the brunette said in wonder. Hologram Reborn just sat on his chair sipping his espresso calmly for a few minutes. Everyone just watched the baby/arcobaleno with batted breathes. Hologram Reborn sat the cup down and sat for a few more minutes in silence.
He smiled, "Ciaossu."
Everyone fell out their chairs anime style, except Alaude and Kyouya who just twitched an eyebrow. The rest of them got up and looked incredulously at the little hitman.
"Oi, Dame-Tsuna. When you get this message, just know that wherever you disappeared to, you're doing to be completing all of your paperwork and you are going to do a lot of training when you get back. Plus you have a promise to fulfill. Now, hurry back and don't die or I'll personally see to it that you won't be able to get out of bed for weeks. Ciao." the hologram Reborn finished and disappeared back into the small device.
Tsuna was spooked out by the message his tutor left to him, but smiled when he noticed the arcobaleno was worried about him.
"I am not worried about you Dame-Tsuna, so don't even think about it or I'll kill you... Lead your Famiglia to success and you better get here fast because I just may accidentally cause your subordinates to be M.I.A." the hologram appeared and disappeared again. Tsuna was officially freaked. How his tutor knew what he was thinking through a hologram was beyond him. But considering all the years they've spent together, he really should've been excepting that.
"Who the hell was that baby?" G asked while reaching over the table to take Arashi but the bird flew onto Tsuna's shoulder that had his pony-tail resting on (I forgot to mention that he started growing one like Mukuro but keeps his to his almost mid-back).
Decimo absentmindedly petted Arashi before he explained.
"That was my home tutor, Reborn-"
"A baby is your home tutor?!"
"-who is also the greatest Hitman in my time." Tsuna continued like G just didn't interrupt him. He yawned a bit and rubbed his eyes of sleep.
"A Hitman? That baby is a hitman? You have got to be shitting me." G leaned back with unamused eyes. Tsuna stared at him with a blank face that tells no lies. Everyone raised an eyebrow.
"Seriously? That baby is a hitman?!" G shouted.
"I told you, bastard, that Jyuudaime doesn't lie about things like this! So stop shouting or I'll blast your ass off!" Hayato countered with a threat. The two Storm Guardians glared at each other with hate.
"Maa, maa. Calm down, Gokudera. A lot of people will find that hard to believe." Takeshi tried to calm his friend. Ugetsu stood to do the same, they both got glares shot at them.
"STAY OUTTA THIS!" the two storm yelled, which only caused the two Rain Guardians to sweat drop. Kyouya got up and walked out of the room in irritation, almost feeling like 'biting someone to death'.
Tsunayoshi looked out the window and saw that the sun was setting.
"Giotto-san. Do you mind if we can stay here? It's getting dark and if we stay here, we'll help you out as much as we can. On a side note, don't directly give Hibari missions. He'll only accept them if they're from me. And that goes for Mukuro as well. Also, make sure they aren't too easy." he informed.
"Of course you and your friends can stay here, and I'll keep what you said in mind. Though, what should our cover story be if someone sees you and your Guardians?"
"We'll just tell them that we're long lost siblings that were separated and never knew each other until you found us wandering in your forest. That should be enough. Well, good night." Tsuna got up and pulled a sleeping Lambo into his arms.
"G-san. Could you show us a room to sleep in?"
G stopped glaring at the silver-head and sighed. He nodded and walked out the room with the Tenth's family following. Mukuro disappeared with Chrome in a sheet of mist.
Upon entering the room, everyone got situated. Hayato on a bed with red sheets, Ryohei on one with yellow sheets, Takeshi on the blue one, and Tsuna and Lambo on the orange one (Lambo wouldn't let go of his brother). They said goodnight to one another and slept on without any care. The other three guardians who left made their own way into a room. But no one took into account that someone they haven't seen in years would be showing up the next day.
