UNIVERSAL BONDS.

Laughing wryly as he laid on his ancestor's queen-sized bed, he released his breath—which he had been holding for the past few seconds. He untied his black striped tie and suit, unbuttoning a few buttons on the collar. Primo's coat was on the messy bed sheet beside him.

Feeling a slight move from the pocket on his pants, Tsuna grabbed the object before blinking at it. It was a gold pocket watch, definitely, from the outside; you can know that it was expensive already. Speaking of which, sometimes on the pictures of Vongola Primo and his Guardians, he could see this watch. Matching watches as a prove of their friendship?

Opening it with a slight sound of 'click' from it, a small Sky Flame blazed on the center of the watch. Ignoring that, (he predicted it was the same thing about prove that it's Vongola's. The same when the Ninth had gave him a letter about that whole Varia battle for the Vongola Rings.) he looked up and saw some Italian words crafted on it.

"Givro… eterna amicizia." Gokudera—Tsuna's right hand man in the present time, had taught him Italian language. Of course, Reborn was the one who told Gokudera to, and Tsuna had to learn it, he is the future Tenth Boss of a mafia family. "Eternal friendship."

His lips curled into a smile. Remembering about his own guardians, he sat up and mumbled to himself. "Everyone, are you doing well?" It wasn't that long of him being in the past, but he couldn't help but miss them.

"Gokudera-kun, how are you? Still researching about aliens?" He chuckled softly.

"This is without a doubt, Tenth, a sign of an alien invading Earth!" Gokudera's eyes shone brightly at the phenomena he saw in the newspaper. "Aliens do exist!"

Tsuna just sweat dropped at the stars on his friend's eyes. But he just nodded and smiled, listening to Gokudera's beliefs. If Gokudera was happy talking about this, he would listen to it.

"Yamamoto, how's the preparation for the national championship?" He remembered that Yamamoto was going to face his finals. It would be an amazing match.

"Yamamoto, you're going to be in the finals soon?" Tsuna asked him as he ate his lunch together.

Yamamoto nodded. "Un!"

Smiling, the brunette decided. "Then, I'll go and cheer on you! Lambo and the others would be happy to go out as well, and see their 'brother' or friend, win!"

Yamamoto grinned sheepishly, embarrassed. "Thanks Tsuna, I'll win for sure!"

A boxer's shout of 'Extreme' made him chuckle. "Onii-san, I hope your match went well." When he was sound asleep, Ryohei had a match—a quick match, at the morning. Sadly, he didn't know the results. Since, he had gone to the past.

"Lambo, you're not eating too much sweets right? It's not good for your health." He remembered how Lambo would complain when he couldn't get any sweets. Grenades and explosions then were involved in that. "And play nicely with Fuuta and I-Pin, take good care of Mother."

"Hibari-san.." He shivered at the certain prefect's name. "I guess I don't need to worry about you." Of course, Hibari is the most strongest guardian, especially when he is the Cloud Guardian, the aloof one. "But I hope you're doing fine." Tsuna smiled.

Two Mist Guardians were soon remembered. "Ah yes, Chrome, you're taking your meals right? Don't get sick." The shy and selfless female who cares a lot to Mukuro—her savior. "Mukuro, still doing mischievous things with the gang? As long as you don't involve my friends too much. Take good care of Chrome." Mukuro, his former enemy and now Mist Guardian. Even though he doesn't look like it, he cares Chrome and his comrades.

Then his home tutor, Reborn. "Reborn..."

A sigh came out from his parted lips, his eyes almost—no, not almost, already—in tears.

"I miss you all."

"I want to go back to the future."

Seeing all of your smiles.

The right hand man furrowed his eyebrows, eyes slanted, hair put into a ponytail so it won't bother him from his work. Well, not exactly his but—

Since his boss just woke up from an almost comma state, G had decided to help him out, being a good and loyal friend he is. Mounts of paperworks must be signed. Giotto always hated paperworks, so he better be grateful that G was the one to do it this time.

Giotto would always complain if he gets paperworks, and G would force the guy to do it whether he like it or not. But in the end, Giotto would be stuck in his room signing paperworks while G smiled cockily and sometimes help him out a little.

Chuckling at the memory, G continued signing those damn exhausting paperworks.

However, something came out and he was unable to concentrate. Speaking of Giotto, when he woke up, he was acting different. Yes, it was since he woke up that he started to be more nervous than usual.

... Like he wasn't comfortable to be with them.

Nervous, confused, uncomfortable, nauseous.

He looked like that from his expression.

Although, yes, he did look like usual, but G could feel that he's a tad bit different, though he doesn't know why.

G didn't like this Giotto.

Frowning, he stood up, and walked out of the room, leaving his paperworks. He could do that later, the important thing was Giotto.

He stopped at the door of Giotto's room.

Asari Ugetsu stopped the melody he was working with his flute, and put away his flute. Thinking of what had happened today, Asari looked upon the picture of the guardians together.

'Don't worry. I'm sorry for worrying all of you!'

"Giotto.." Asari's lips curled down into a frown. Giotto absolutely was not fine. Why so?

He would have to find out, yes? He would cleanse away the family's sadness, as the Rain Guardian.

His dark almost pink colored eyes widened, hearing all of the mumbles and whispers from the room, with Giotto's voice. It was no doubt that it's his voice, and it's murmuring unfamiliar names, spouting that G don't even know, and saying 'I miss you all.'

Who in the heavens is that?

It couldn't be Giotto. Those unfamiliar names... sounded like Japanese. Is that really Giotto's voice?

G's trance stopped right there, hearing the next word, clearly.

"I want to go back-"

That did it. G no longer listened, his mind was blank, he couldn't think.

His eyebrows furrowed, eyes glaring at the floor, palms forming into a fist, and he scowled. He walked away from that door quickly, meeting a butler. The butler had asked him what's the matter with him, yet he ignored him and spoke in a harsh, full of irritation voice.

"Gather all of the Guardians, except for Primo . I, the Storm Guardian and right hand man of the boss, call for a secret meeting only for guardians, right now. This is urgent."

A glint of seriousness, and the look that could kill was on his face.

The butler didn't ask anything more. He merely bowed and went away to tell the other Guardians.

Asari met up with G, while he was on his way to Primo's room.

"Ah, G. What's wrong? You have this look on your face—"

"Asari." G cut him off, snapping. "Good timing." At this, Asari raised an eyebrow. "I call for a meeting, right now. Go to the meeting room."

"Sure. But what about Giotto.. ?"

Clicking his tongue, G answered. "This is for guardians only."

Asari's eyes closed, understanding. His lips parted and said one word; 'Alright' and then he left, on his way to the meeting room while G followed closely behind.

He knew. If G had called for a meeting without Primo, it must be a serious matter.

And serious is serious.

"Hah? A secret meeting?" Lampo yawned lazily on his bed.

He was taking a nap when someone had barged into the door, interrupting his sleep which the butler had apologized for the intrusion.

His green hair was in a mess, as Lampo ruffled it to make it neater than before. "Okay, okay.. I'll be there shortly."

Knuckle prayed inside his office, the time when a butler came in and told him the news. The priest blinked.

"G was the one to call?" He frowned.

It was never a good news if G was the one to call.

Making a cross sign, Knuckle said. "May God Bless Us."

"Nufufu~" Daemon chuckled. "That man?"

"And a meeting without Primo as well.." He smirked, amused by it. "This will be interesting."

Alaude was irritated when someone disturbed his work. But, upon hearing the news, he nodded and put his pen on his desk, deciding that he should go to the meeting.

This better be important or Alaude'll get mad for disturbing his work. Or G—the poor man would receive the consequences.

Tsuna sighed on his bed—Giotto's bed. The day after tomorrow, he would prepare himself for a party. He has to act like Giotto or things would happen, and that things aren't good.

From the stares he got from G, it seems that he suspected something wrong. It was bad.

G was Giotto's childhood friend, so it makes sense if he sensed something wrong.

Tsuna gritted his teeth. How can he go back to the future?

His eyes fluttered, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"Is everyone here yet?" G huffed. His patience running out. He said it clearly, that they should come as fast as possible, yet someone is late. "Where is that fucking Alaude?!"

"Nufu~ Probably that carnivore is too lazy to even go, no?" Daemon reasoned, amused once again.

"Shut up you, melon-head!"

"What?" He glared.

"Stop it you guys." Asari said. "He'll come, eventually."

Suddenly, a cold and sharp voice grumbled. "What are you herbivores doing? Start the meeting right now."

G glared at the Cloud Guardian. "Finally you came, freak."

"Shut your insults and hurry up." Alaude stated.

"Tch, Fine." The right hand man growled. "I'll start the meeting now." He started. "First, I'll start with the topic. It's about Giotto."

Everyone paid attention at that. They stared at G, saying that he should continue. G nodded, "Do you guys realize—that since he woke up, he has been acting different than usual?" They went silent, he took it as a yes. "Guess what, today I went to his room—well not entering it, just standing in front of the door and heard—"

"—him mumbling unfamiliar names that sounds like Japanese, speaking involving about them, and about he misses them."

"Maybe it's his dream or imaginary or something?" Lampo said.

"I would like to believe that but.. Lampo, he said; I want to go back."

Everyone wide eyed-ly looked at G, shocked. "Is that true?" Knuckle asked.

G nodded. "My hearing couldn't be wrong."

"Hm.. Then you're suspecting he's a spy or something?" Daemon finished. "It's the most possible thing that could happen after your explanation."

"Probably, but I'm not sure." He mumbled. "Either way, I suggest that we should investigate further. The dance and tomorrow will be the chance for us to investigate more. I want you guys to be alert with him. He could be a spy or not."

"And if he is," G stopped, glaring at the table. "We'll make him spit out where the hell is the real Giotto, if he doesn't want to, we'll contain him in the prison. I'll leave the rest to Alaude and Daemon to that." Said guardians smirked and nodded. "Got that?"

They nodded.

"Good. We'll definitely find out who he is, and where is the boss. " G declared. "No one, and I mean No one, messes with the Vongola's Primo like that."

Their resolve was firm. They would protect the Vongola no matter what, no one messes with it.

And no one, would dare to mess with their boss, Vongola Primo again.

G

Giotto woke up with a kick from Reborn, which he did not appreciate at all, since Reborn's kick was quite strong and painful. He had complained- which is what would Tsunayoshi do as he read.

The baby raised an eyebrow at the attitude, then shrugged it off.

"What are we going to do?" Giotto cried in a wimpy tone.

Reborn said they would train today.

Reluctantly, Giotto nodded and dressed up with Reborn eyeing him suspiciously. Of course, Reborn still had his suspicion towards the boy- he was acting more like Tsuna, but still, Reborn didn't feel right about that.

Something is up, he thought. "Dame-Tsuna, hurry up, your family is waiting."

"I get it, I get it!" He said in a hurry.

"..." Reborn said nothing. "Maa, I'm going first, don't forget your box weapon."

Giotto thanked the internet. He already knew what is a box weapon.

But still, this is the future Vongola, huh? To tell you the truth, he was shocked about how it became but it was over, he thought about it the whole night, and it was fine. Even though Giotto was a bit shocked and panicked about it, it would be fine.

G would say that.

The blonde (or brunette now.) shook his head and proceed to dress up. As soon as he was done doing that, he grabbed the box and headed out, seeing no trances of Hibari.

Woke up earlier than me, of course. Being the aloof person he is, huh?

"Everyone is here, yes?" Reborn said. "Now open up your box weapon!"

Giotto looked beside him, Gokudera's box animal was a cat, Yamamoto's was a dog and a swallow, Chrome's and Mukuro's was an owl, Ryohei's was a kangaroo, and Hibari's was a hedgehog. As for Lambo, Reborn had to kick him first then he opened it, revealing a big bull.

Lambo had named him 'Gyuudon', for reasons that Giotto decided to not know.

Gokudera = Uri. Yamamoto = Jiro and Kojiro. Ryohei = Kangaryuu. Hibari = Roll. Mukuro and Chrome = Mukurowl. (Honestly, hearing the name of the owl made Giotto sweat drop.)

And Tsuna's was Na-Tsu. Pretty easy name, Giotto thought.

He went into Hyper Mode, of course drinking the pills first, he doesn't want to make any suspicions more. Lighting up his flames on the Ring, Giotto put it on the box, nervous about what might come.

It came out, a burst of Sky flames. Giotto was taken aback, staring at the glare from the animal.

It attacked him.

Yuki; Here it is, thanks!

A/N; Hey, sorry for the kind of late update. But you know.. I HAVE A REASON, NE? Just read my profile.

Important question, how would the story format be? Giotto and Tsuna's scenes combined in one chapter or not? Please answer it! I'm going to try and write more long chapters. By the way, the reviews decreased at the latest chapter D: I'm afraid you don't like it, though I'm still happy that I got reviews and stuff. But please review, ne?P.S; I made a pic of this, on my dA too (KuroTitan) and I'm drawing where Tsuna and Giotto are together, but in different dimensions, fighting, you'll see it when it's done, like my profile said, I'm sick right now and need some rest. So it's still not done yet (hell, I'm still drawing Tsuna and it took me hours, and hey, look at my health now, unable to draw for a while ;A;)

My bones are killing me. Review ne? Thank you all for your support, love 'em all. Ciao~
