"Tsuna speak to Henko"

"Henkospeak to Tsuna"

Normal POV

after that shocking news, Toshi's mind became clouded with more questions that he will never dare to voiced out. In the the end he decided to keep quiet until he got more proove than his own assumptions.

On the afternoon they met Giannini, who's no longer on his 'flying UFO' but instead, walking. They also encountered Fuuta who just came back from his collecting informations mission. and Tsuki was fetching him, and that's why no one see him around, after that one time.

on the same time, after some persuades from Reborn, Lal finally agreed to train Toshi, Gokudera, and Yamamoto. She then explained some things about Millefiore...

"-Millefiore was born when two Families joined together. with the current boss is Byakuran." She said.

"the elite force under him are split into black and white of uniforms depending on their original family. The white uniforms belong to white spell, they skilled at careful yet crafty fights. while the black ones belong to black spell, they've encountered more battle and, you can say barbarians..."

"-hold on a second!" Gokudera cutted in annoy. "why? now, all of sudden you start blabbering!"

"Seriously, puppy? do you really have to interupt her?" Toshi gave him a look. while Yamamoto sweatdropped, "I somehow see Squalo in you..." He admitted.

"Nothing to worry about..." Lal cutted back. "I just simply give you a chance. you ruin it, then pay your own cost."

'a-another spartan... Kami-sama, why?' Toshi whined in his mind.

"-we're going to start the training..." Lal said as she then took out a green box, almost at the same size as the one that Gokudera opened when he's facing Nozoru. "-I don't care who does it. one of you, open this box that none ever opened before."

Then the three, one by one try it theirselves until finally, Toshi's flame was the one who got it open. the contain is none other than...

"eh? isn't this the thing that kozo had?" Yamamoto questioned.

"but it's clea- hey!" Lal hurriedly snatched the thing.

"enough for today, we'll continue this tomorrow..." She said then left. Toshi catched her tone full of emotions, while Reborn just tipped his fedora down to hide the look in his face.

~the next day~

once again, everything seems to happen in flash...

Just this morning, everthing goes in peace before all of sudden the alarm went off. apparently someone's sending a SOS signal, which surprisingly it came from Hibird, Hibari's bird.

just then Haru came in telling them that Kyoko went missing.

"She must be worrying Ryohei-senpai..." Yamamoto said.

"to think of it, she seems to be in distress all day yesterday..." Haru said, looking down. "Sorry everyone, if only I pay more attention..."

"it's not your fault Haru..." Toshi smiled as he tapped her shoulder with his uninjured his right hand.

"he's right...but aside of that, we should focus more on how to find her. or should we find Hibird first?" Gokudera asked.

"Kyoko's safety is our first priority. next thing is to find Hibird. then the last, investigation..." Reborn said.

"well, if she's not captured, I would like to avoid any battle. and it would be best to retrive her with a small party..." Lal sugested.

"True... that strategy also aplied best to find Hibird." Gokudera said.

"then, let's do it at a time by splitting up" Yamamoto sugested.

"sadly, this wimp over here is still injured, so we can't possibly do that. too risky" Gokudera said, pointing Toshi. but beforet the blond can say anything about it Lal has beat it to him.

"then, we search for the cloud guardian later on..."

"that won't do..." Reborn said, "if the SOS was really from Hibari, we can't just take our time."

"That's true..."

and so their operational meeting goes on. In the the end they let Toshi decide for them, since he is their boss.

Toshi decide that they'll do the both task at the same time, then asked Lal to help them with the detailed strategy.

They then do it by splitting up, Gokudera teamed with Yamamoto in search of Hibrid while Lal with Toshi go to retrieved Kyoko...

~Timeskip~

Everything goes eum... let's just say, eventful...

Lal and Toshi manage to get Kyoko back while she was hiding at TYL Hana's house. meanwhile with Yamamoto and Gokudera, instead of finding Hibird, TYL Hibari found them. but thanks to that they were saved from being killed by... Gamma...

The two questioned in their head when he introduced himself, 'wasn't that the name of Tsuna's/Juudaime's missing father figure?' but judging from his fight with Hibari, they decide that the name was coincidically same. since they know that even though Hibari is violence, there's no way he would harm the said missing man. They just know it.

once the battle over, Hibari brought them back to the hideout so their severe wounds can be treated.

all in all this occassion happened because of Kyoko's escape. (A/N : the reason on why Hibari sent that SOS signal was so the Vongola knew about her disapereance, thanks to Hana's call)

~another Time skip, few days later~

Toshi POV

5 days ago, Varia- well... by Varia, I mean Squalo, Bell, and a new guy with Frog hat... eum, what's he's name again?

meh, who cares?

-but anyway, yeah, They contacted us to say some encouraging words. or at least that's how I take it. and about the plan that TYL Ryohei mentioned mentioned at his arrival. I end up agreeing the plan...

oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, TYL Ryohei also brought Chrome in, though she's injured and also lost her illusinal organ that Mukuro made for her.

I hate to admit it but I kind of worry about Mukuro. and about Tsuna-nii who's according to Fuuta -who just come back some days ago- and Giannini still haven't be found. not even on the radar.

but anyway, now to the present...

we were having a meeting on tonight's invading plan when the moniter suddently turned on.

"Ehm... Good day Vongola..." a readhead man greeted. all of us shocked and snapped our head to the monitor

"Shoichi..."Tsuki growled dangerously at the man. I catch that most of the room occupant is glaring at the readhead too. "what do you want, betrayer?" my TYL twin snarled.

However, TYL Shoichi doesn't seem to be insulted that much and remain stoic as he continue. "we just simply offer you a negotiation..."

"what negotiation?" Tsuki did all the talk, representing us.

"we want you to hand over the Vongola ring-"

"and why the h*** you think we'll do it?" This time Gokudera cutted.

"well, you must do it. or else, this boy will pay the conciquences..." TYL Shoichi said as he snapped his finger.

Just then, two people that I immedietely recognized as Cervello brought in a brunet who's strugling hard to get free.

Wait...

that brunet...

"Isn't that Tsuna-nii?!" I exclaimed as my eyes widen.

It IS Tsuna-nii!

"Hey! Let me go! I said I wouldn't do it! Let me go!" Tsuna-nii shouted as he trashed around. just then one of the Cervello injecting something to him, causing him to dropped on his knees. He's barely concious by now.

"TEME! What do you thing you're doing? YOU BASTARD! That boy is-!"

"He's not our Tsuna..." TYL Shoichi cutted. "Therefore I have no reason on not tortune him or furthermore kill him, if you wish to cut this negotiation off..." He said coldly.

"Da** you!" Lal banged the table in anger. well, all of us are...

TYL Shoichi then make a signal to the two to get Tsuna-nii into somekind of tube where TYL Shoichi himself seated Tsuna-nii in, then chained his feet and hands to the chair within.

"No... please, don't do this mister... please..." We can faintly hear Tsuna-nii's plead. I think TYL Shoichi said something to him but we can't hear a thing.

TYL Shoichi then closed the tube's glass cover as he then turned back to the camera.

"now, now... if you wish to exchange the lad with the rings, then we'll welcome you by tomorrow evening..."

"Like hell we'll fall for that trap!" I barked. but soon I regret my doing.

"Verywell then..." TYL Shoichi said in flat tone as snapped his finger.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" we jumped to hear that bloodchilling scream.

"No! Tsuna-nii!" I shouted in panic as he continue to scream in pain as we can see him trashing around but the chains stopped him. "What did you do to him?!" Tsuki barked.

"no need to know..." TYL Shoichi answered flatly. "all you have to do is to bring the complete set of the rings by the time of arrangement. or he'll pay for it... *snap*" and the line is cutted.
