Next victim: Alaude

Alaude was sitting at his coffee table going through information about an enemy Family that has been threatening the Vongola. All the stupid herbivores were getting insecure about how the power of the Vongola kept increasing. He was really itching for a fight after his last mission.

But then his mind wandered to the brunette with mid-back long hair. When he glared at him yesterday, Tsuna just didn't seem affected by the furiousness of it. He only smiled and accepted it like it was a norm for him to get glared at, and it didn't affect him anymore. The little herbivo- no. The omnivore perplexed him a bit. The skylark that looked so similar to him seemed a bit afraid of Decimo, and that got the light-blonde skylark curious about what torturous method he did to instill that bit of fear in the raven.

His thoughts were broken when he heard a fluttering sound coming from his window. Turning his head to the right, there sat a white owl on his window ledge. He was curious because he was sure that owls were nocturnal and only stayed in the forests, but here's one right here in his office- sort of.

"What is an owl doing in here." he voiced to himself. The owl just titled his head before staring straight at him. Alaude got up and walked to the animal to scare it back into the forest when he was suddenly aware of the aura it emitted. The right eye of Mukurowl turned red and Alaude found himself in a field. The space was beautiful with the scarce but luscious trees and the gentle blow of the wind. Alaude was puzzled until he realized it had to be that pineapple-head Mist Guardian - Rokudou Mukuro - that was casting an illusion and promptly whipped out his hands cuffs to dispel the blasted illusion.

FWOOP!

Alaude barely managed to dodge the dagger in time, but still got a thin, shallow cut on his left cheek that bled a bit. He narrowed his eyes and got ready for another attack.

"You failed." a familiar voice rang. Next thing the light-blonde knew, he was being pushed onto something comfortable and leathery. The background changed and he found himself lying on his back on his black leather couch with the brunette's right hand cleaning off the small trickle of blood on his cheek. His eyes were focused solely on patching the little cut up that Alaude was, somehow, drawn to those intense brown eyes that made his heart speed up and his breath caught in his throat. The young man before him really look handsome.

Wait.

Tsuna leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Is there something wrong, Alaude~? Are you having trouble breathing? Is your heart beating so fast that it's waiting to burst from your chest? Do you feel hot and sweaty just thinking about the things I could do to you? Do you-"

"Stop that damn illusion, Rokudou!" the real Tsunayoshi yelled which, in turn, caused the illusion to disperse. Tsuna went up to Alaude, still looking a bit ticked, but held out his hand for Alaude. The dazed and lightly blushing Frenchman numbly grabbed the hand and got pulled into an upright position.

"Kufufufufu. Don't you think you looked hot in that position? Dominating the older skylark." he laughed. Tsuna glared at the pineapple before smirking.

"You're just jealous, Muku-chan~" Mukuro twitched with a blush sprouting across his cheeks.

"I am NOT jealous of you Vongola!" he fumed. Tsuna just laughed softly before kneeling down in front of the still shocked Cloud Guardian. He gently rubbed a damp towel on the thin cut and put a bandage on it. He smiled and backed away from him.

"What are you doing here, Vongola Decimo?" he finally asked. Tsuna sighed.

"I gave you a test to see how good you are at detecting possible danger, but you failed. You cannot eat breakfast today at all." he told him. Alaude glared.

"Who are you to give me orders? I'll arrest you for that." he threatened and took out a pair of handcuffs. Ugetsu, Lampo, Knuckle, Takeshi, Hayato, Chrome, Lambo, and Ryohei all held their breath when they heard that while Rokudou just leaned against a wall and watched on in amusement.

"It doesn't matter who you take orders from, right now. We are in danger of dying and at any moment, we will be attacked. I am trying my best to get everyone prepared for war. So, don't give me any of that crap that you're sprouting just because I'm the one giving you orders." he said sternly.

"If you wanted to test our strength, then you could have requested a fight with us, idiota." the Frenchman snarled. Asari quickly stepped between the two with Yamamoto.

"Alaude-kun. Please do not fight Tsuna-san. He is only doing this because we are in need of training. Plus, we don't know if the enemy is from the future or not." Ugetsu tried to reason.

"Tsuna's doing this for us, Alaude-san. Just trust us in this." Takeshi finished. Alaude glared at them and poised ready to beat the Rain Guardians to the ground. But before he could attack, a warm hand rested on his lower back.

"It's hard for me... It's hard knowing that everyone is in danger of a force we don't know about. It's hard knowing what I'm doing is hurting your Family. I'm trying all I can to keep everyone strong, but in reality, I'm still the weakest one out of everyone here. Trying to be strong and not let my Famiglia see the weak side of me from years ago. I'm still confused on how to go about this situation. I need help, but I don't know who's the best person to talk to about this since the one I always turn to for help is not here in this time and it's killing me. I don't want to use the methods my tutor used on me and use them on you, but it's the best way I could get a good grasp at where your power lies and what improvements that are needed. So, can you please just bare with what I'm trying to accomplish?" Tsuna pleaded with tears in his eyes. Alaude looked struck for a moment before slowly putting away his handcuffs. He swiftly walked away from the crowd that piled into his office and headed out the door. But before he disappeared from sight, they heard him say, "Fine, Vongola Decimo. Do what you like, but when I return, no one better be in here or I'll arrest you all for trespassing."

Everyone waited for a while until the echoing of the Cloud Guardian's shoes weren't heard.

Tsuna slowly smirked.

"Well, that went better then I thought." he pet Natsu that appeared at his side. The First Gen. Rain, Lightning, and Sun Guardians looked at him curiously.

"What do you mean, Tsuna-san?" Ugetsu questioned. Tsuna smiled at him along with his Guardians.

"Everyone knows that Hibari-san has a soft spot for Tsuna." said Yamamoto.

"So, when Hibari is getting ready to do something that displeases Tsuna-nii..." Lambo took over.

"Jyuudaime came up with a way to get him to feel guilty and submissive." Gokudera continued.

"Young Vongola, here, has a way to get people to concede to his wishes." Rokudou laughed.

"So, Bossu always states his reason for whatever it is that he is thinking..." Chrome said.

"And starts pretending to cry because we all know that he has an EXTREME kind nature about himself and uses that as his advantage." Ryohei explained.

"He knows that since it works for Hibari to stop him from doing things Tsuna/Tsuna-nii/Sawada/Young Vongola/Jyuudaime/Bossu doesn't like, it'll stop Alaude with the same results." they finished together before trying to stifle their laughter.

The First Gen. were shocked. They didn't know immature things like that could stop bloodthirsty people like the Cloud Guardians in their tracks. The Tenth Gen. sure are mysterious people.

"Let's go, minna. Giotto-san is the last person we have left. I would like to see if he could predict what would happen. This is going to be fun, ne?" he smiled handsomely which caused everyone to blush and nod.

'Dammit. Can't believe I just did that. You are a mysterious person, indeed, Vongola Decimo. I can't wait to fight you.' thought a certain skylark.
